Chapter 1553: Bu Fang’s Trump Card
The pagoda was… broken!
Rumbling filled the air as the scene on the top floor of the pagoda was revealed before everyone. The broken pagoda and its crumbling walls looked extremely miserable.
Outside the pagoda stood a monstrous figure, towering into the clouds. The Titan Divine Emperor’s scarlet eyes, coupled with his enormous body, put a tremendous amount of pressure on everyone.
Bu Fang and the crown prince stood on the top floor of the pagoda. Not far from them, a ginseng plant was suspended in midair. Its roots were floating in the air, emitting bright starlight and looking very charming.
It was the Titan’s Heart, the Cornerstone Divine Artifact of the Titan Divine Dynasty.
Everyone thought the Titan’s Heart might be a weapon or an object, but it was actually a spirit herb! No, it was a divine herb! The energy that emanated from it was filled with an aura that made one’s soul and body tremble. Obviously, its medicinal effect was absolutely unmatched.
“The Titan’s Heart…”
Soul Thirteen narrowed his eyes. The aroma emanating from the ginseng was very disgusting to him. Ginseng was very fragrant, like a delicious dish, but to the Soul Demon, delicious dishes were very disgusting. So, his heart was filled with disgust for the Titan’s Heart.
He raised his huge palm and wanted to destroy the Titan’s Heart there and then!
Countless experts hovered around him. They were all Soul Demons, and every one of them had a hideous and greedy look on their faces as they stared at Bu Fang and the crown prince. In their eyes, these two human beings were their food!
“What should we do now? We’re going to die… We can’t escape! Even the Divine Temple can’t protect us! We’re doomed…”
The crown prince was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He kept muttering to himself, and his heart was filled with despair. What had happened made him lose all semblance of hope.
The Titan Divine Dynasty was destroyed, the Titan Divine Emperor had become a Soul Demon, and all the clan experts and geniuses were dead. Now, even the Divine Temple was destroyed, and the Titan’s Heart was about to be wiped out. All of this, for him, was like a nightmare that could not be awakened from.
Meanwhile, Bu Fang reached out his hand to take the Titan’s Heart, but he sensed a resisting force from the supreme treasure.
“Only the true lineage of the Titan Divine Dynasty can remove the Titan’s Heart…” the crown prince explained in a trembling voice.
“Well…” Bu Fang felt a little helpless, and then his eyes fell on the crown prince. “Take the Titan’s Heart and keep it properly… and I’ll get you out of here,” he said.
The crown prince froze. The next moment, Bu Fang’s Taotie Arm rested on his shoulder, lifted him, and threw him toward the Titan’s Heart.
“Take it!” Bu Fang said in a serious voice.
The crown prince’s mind trembled. He raised his head, looked at the ginseng that was shaped like a dragon, and took a deep breath.
Rumble!
At this moment, a huge palm slapped down from the sky. Covered with barbaric glyphs, it brought a tremendous amount of pressure to those under it. It was the Titan Divine Emperor’s—no, Soul Thirteen’s palm! He was going to destroy the Titan’s Heart!
The crown prince felt his heart being grabbed by a huge hand. “It’s useless… Even if I take control of the Titan’s Heart, what can I do? It’s useless… We can’t escape… This palm will kill me!”
He was about to close his eyes, ready to die, when he heard a sudden whistle. With a start, he opened his eyes and saw that Bu Fang had appeared in front of him.
“You…” The crown prince’s expression changed. ‘Is he trying to fend off the Titan Divine Emperor’s palm? How is that possible?! That’s a slap from the Divine Emperor! He will die!’ he cried out in his heart.
Bu Fang, his face as calm as water, rushed toward the huge palm.
BOOM!
With a loud boom, a terrible blast swept out in all directions.
The crown prince shuddered. He looked up and, to his disbelief, he saw that the Divine Emperor’s palm had been stopped and did not continue to fall!
“Hmm?” Soul Thirteen narrowed his eyes and withdrew his palm. The next moment, a figure flew out from the top of the pagoda and hovered in front of him, looking as small as a mosquito.
“Stinky chef…”
Soul Thirteen’s scarlet eyes flickered with icy coldness. His desire for the body of this astonishingly gifted chef was very strong, second only to his desire for the Cursed Goddess.
Bu Fang squinted at the Titan Divine Emperor in front of him. He felt something familiar about this towering giant’s aura.
“You are Soul Thirteen?”
He froze for a moment, suddenly thinking of Tai Fei, who was instantly killed by Nethery not long ago. Tai Fei’s aura and this Divine Emperor’s aura was too similar. ‘Did the Soul Demon in Tai Fei take over the Titan Divine Emperor’s body? Could he do that? How bad was the Divine Emperor’s luck to meet such a misfortune?” The corner of his mouth twitched.
“Die!” Soul Thirteen growled. He knew that Bu Fang recognized him, but so what? He was no longer the same Soul Thirteen! Now, he was the master of the Soul Demons and the master of all humans! His strength was already beyond Bu Fang’s imagination!
He was just a little bit away from… becoming a Soul Overlord! He would soon be an invincible being who could kill Bu Fang with a single thought!
Rumble!
Soul Thirteen clenched his palm into a fist and held out a finger, pointing it directly toward Bu Fang. He was going to kill him with one finger!
Plumes of black smoke swirled around the finger, while numerous barbaric glyphs could be seen flashing all over it. At this moment, the sky seemed to be torn apart—the void could not bear the power of this finger and was constantly crumbling!
“The Titan Emperor Subduing Finger!” the crown prince cried out in shock. As soon as he saw the finger, his whole body began to shake violently.
It was an incomparably powerful divine ability that belonged to the Titan Divine Emperor! Yet, this Soul Demon was able to use it now! Sure enough… the Soul Demon was really a terrifying creature as the Xiayi Divine Emperor had said!
“Run away! You can’t stop it!” the crown prince shouted at the top of his lungs. Blue veins could be seen popping on his neck, and his face turned red.
“Run away?” Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed. Looking at the finger that seemed to compress the pressure of the entire world all together and pointed toward him, he could not help but sigh. “You just have to quickly take control of the Titan’s Heart… Don’t worry about the rest!” he said.
The next moment, four Wheels of Law emerged above his head—the Law of Transmigration, the Law of Space, the Law of Life, and the Law of Destruction all appeared at the same time. This time, Bu Fang did not hold anything back—he completely released his full strength!
In the face of the Titan Emperor Subduing Finger, he did not dare to be careless. He did not have the God of Cooking Sets now, so he had no choice but to explode all his power!
Boom!
With a booming sound, his Taotie Arm burst into dazzling light. Streams of light kept swirling around him as his divine sense surged, and for a moment, his aura seemed powerful enough to shatter the void!
Bu Fang was going to use his divine power, the Kitchen Knife of Affliction!
He focused his eyes, and then a kitchen knife appeared in his hand. It was not the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, but it was strong enough to support him to use the divine power.
Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed out the knife and attached the four supreme Laws to it. In just the blink of an eye, thousands of knife lights emerged and blotted out the sky as a kitchen knife descended from the starry sky, cutting through the air with a force that seemed strong enough to destroy everything.
The knife went straight for the Titan Divine Emperor’s finger. Then, with a deafening rumble, they collided in midair.
BOOM!
Shockingly, both of them broke into pieces at the same time! The Divine Emperor’s divine power was hacked into pieces by Bu Fang’s knife energy!
Using the Kitchen Knife of Affliction, he had made ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine slashes in a flash, and when so many slashes struck the Divine Emperor’s divine power, it shattered in an instant!
The sky was as bright as day. The pupils of all the surrounding Soul Demons constricted, while Soul Thirteen narrowed his eyes. The shocked expression on his face grew stronger and stronger.
“Four supreme Laws… This human!” Soul Thirteen took a deep breath. When he last saw Bu Fang, the latter had only comprehended three supreme Laws, but now he had comprehended… four!
‘This human’s talent is too terrifying! He has even surpassed the Cursed Goddess…’
After being shocked for a while, his greed completely exploded out! Yes, greed! Now, Bu Fang’s value to him had surpassed that of the Cursed Goddess!
Soul Thirteen could feel his saliva dripping. His enormous body began to shrink, and soon he transformed into a normal human form. Barbaric glyphs covered his body, making him look quite hideous.
“You are… really getting tastier!” he said.
“Have you recovered from your anorexia? Would you like an oyster pancake again?” Bu Fang said, panting violently while glancing at the Titan Divine Emperor.
Soul Thirteen’s expression instantly changed, remembering the oyster pancake Bu Fang had shoved down his throat. His stomach immediately began to churn.
‘This damned chef!’
“He managed to block it?” The crown prince froze. Looking at Bu Fang, who was hovering in front of him and gasping for breath, a look of shock came over his face.
‘He’s really… formidable! That is an expert of the God Emperor level, but he was able to block the attack!’ the crown prince thought to himself.
‘I can’t believe that the four supreme Laws of the Universe plus a divine power could… explode into such a fearsome fighting prowess! Apparently, he wasn’t even serious at all when he fought me just now!’
“What are you doing? Hurry up and take control of the Titan’s Heart!” Bu Fang cried out coldly and frowned as he glanced over his shoulder and saw the crown prince in a daze.
The crown prince immediately returned to his senses. His body flickered, and in just a flash, he landed in front of the huge ginseng plant. His barbaric glyphs twitched and covered his whole body in an instant.
Suddenly, he felt as if his bloodline was boiling in him—the ginseng had thrilled both his heart and body. Bu Fang said that the Titan’s Heart could save him, and that was enough for him.
The Titan Divine Dynasty was now completely a kingdom of Soul Demons, so it was good that Bu Fang could save him. As long as he, the crown prince, was still alive, the divine dynasty would have the spark to keep going. One day, he would be able to make a comeback!
Therefore, he must take control of the Titan’s Heart! The crown prince clenched his jaws and bit his lip. Blood spilled as he stretched out a hand to grab the ginseng.
Suddenly, Soul Thirteen’s pupils constricted, and he felt his body tremble uncontrollably. ‘What is happening? I’ve completely suppressed the Titan Divine Emperor’s will… There’s no way he would still struggle. What is the reason then? Is it because of the Titan’s Heart?’
He looked at the Titan’s Heart in the distance. The huge ginseng was covered with markings that were very similar to the barbaric glyphs on his body. He finally figured out why he was shaking. It was a call from the depths of his bloodline!
‘I must destroy… that Titan’s Heart!’
Soul Thirteen finally knew the reason why he had not yet become a Soul Overlord. He had always thought it was the Titan Divine Emperor’s stubborn will that was holding him back, but now it seemed that that was not the real reason. It was all because of the Titan’s Heart!
As long as he destroyed the Titan’s Heart, the Divine Emperor’s will would disappear completely. When that happened, he would become a Soul Overlord!
Rumble!
Countless insect scales appeared all over his body. They were no longer pure black, but silvery black. They showed a tendency to turn silver, and this meant that he was approaching the Soul Overlord realm. As long as his scales completely turned silver, he would be a Soul Overlord.
With a ripping sound, he turned into a stream of icy light, tearing through the air and shooting toward the crown prince. The insect scales covered with barbaric glyphs had skyrocketed his physical strength and fighting prowess.
He wanted to kill the crown prince with one move and destroy the Titan’s Heart with one blow! No one could stop him. Could the chef stop him? No, no way! Just now, the chef had used all cards to barely resist his one blow. Now, he had unleashed his insect scales, so how could the chef resist him?
He raised his palm and swept it out. A black rift of turbulence was immediately torn open in the void, in which the broken space tumbled.
The crown prince’s hand had grabbed the Titan’s Heart, which was beating as if it were a heart. He felt his heart beat with the same rhythm with it. Even then, the Divine Emperor was closing in fast!
Looking at the Divine Emperor with a grim expression, he felt a chill go through him. ‘So… I’ve failed?’ The crown prince exhaled deeply and slowly closed his eyes. ‘I’m about to die…’
BOOM!
Suddenly, an explosion rang out. Both the crown prince and Soul Thirteen were stunned. The latter’s scarlet eyes rolled, fell in front of him, and discovered that he was stopped by a glittering arm with a faint golden glow swirling around it.
Bu Fang looked up and let out a breath. In his eyes, a golden divine power liquid drop was slowly disintegrating.
