Fortune Flatbread was a means Bu Fang had developed a long time ago. However, as his cultivation base grew, its effect was no longer as good as before, and it was eventually forgotten by him.
Its effect was heaven-defying, but that was under the circumstances when one’s cultivation base was not strong. At the level of Heavengods, it could no longer provide fortune, or rather, the fortune needed by a Heavengod could not be achieved by a Fortune Flatbread.
As a result, Bu Fang modified it. He was the creator, after all, so it was not a difficult job for him, not to mention that he was assisted by Niu Hansan who was an expert in research. After adding Chaotic Energy, the enhanced Fortune Flatbread was completed.
This was also the first time the enhanced Fortune Flatbread had been unveiled, and on such an important occasion.
Holding the Fortune Flatbread, Nethery turned to face Cursed Goddess Soul. Houtu looked slightly confused, while Soul appeared to be nonchalant. How could the gap between their strength be filled by a mere flatbread?
Chaotic Energy was not the only difference between a Chaotic Saint and a Saint of the Great Path. The comprehension of the Will of Heaven and Earth also set them apart.
Houtu was holding the Bow of Bliss. The divine artifact from the Primitive Universe helped her a lot. Without it, she was not even qualified to fight Soul. After all, the weapon came from a Chaotic Saint of the Primitive Universe.
An arrow left the bow, whistled through the air, and shattered the void. Soul lifted her hand. The black power of sin wrapped up the palm as it stopped the spinning arrow.
Houtu could not fully utilize the Bow of Bliss’s full power, or the arrow would not be stopped. After all, it was a divine artifact that could pierce the sun with an arrow!
Nethery held the Fortune Flatbread, which was surrounded by swirling power of fortune and Chaotic Energy. She looked at it, then opened her mouth and ate it, bite by bite.
Houtu was struck dumb. ‘Why is she eating flatbread at such a critical moment?’ she thought to herself. But Nethery’s cultivation base was not strong from the start, and she did not have high hopes in her either.
The void trembled and hummed. Houtu clenched her jaws. Her mental force surged as she kept releasing arrows. The string of the Bow of Bliss twanged nonstop.
All the people in the surroundings were watching the battle, which would determine the outcome of the fight between the Cursed Goddesses. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Nethery and Houtu were not Soul’s match, even though they had joined forces.
On the Soul Demon’s side, Gluttony Great Soul Overlord squinted at the battle, his eyes flashing with excitement. Envy Great Soul Overlord and Greed Great Soul Overlord were hovering in midair. Although they were both suppressed by Lord Dog and Er Ha, they were not the main characters of this clash. Soul was the protagonist.
Bu Fang sat on the ground, gasping for breath. His eyes were fixed on Nethery, who was in midair. He had given her the enhanced Fortune Flatbread, but the dish’s effect… largely depended on one’s luck. Of course, Nethery had always been lucky. So while he was nervous, he was not too worried.
Lord Dog, Er Ha, and the two dukes descended. For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat stagnant. Lord Dog stuffed the last piece of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Rib into his mouth and chewed. Holding the golden spicy strip, Er Ha was so excited that he could not stop sucking the Death Spicy Strip.
Duchess Yunlan and Duchess Nightmare glanced at Bu Fang, sighed, then turned to watch the battle in the sky. They were the guardians for Nethery and Houtu, but now they seemed to have failed in their duty. There was a reason Duchess Tianlian had worked so hard to stop them.
“What happened to the Queen of Curses?” Bu Fang took a deep breath and asked. Marquis Lang Gu and the others knew nothing about the Queen, but these two dukes should know something.
Duchess Nightmare gave Bu Fang a sideways glance, her smoke-like hair fluttering and her face cold. She said nothing. Duchess Yunlan, on the other hand, shook her head. There were things she did not know.
Void City had been forced into such a desperate situation by the army of Soul Demons, but the Queen of Curses had not shown up yet. If truth be told, they were also puzzled by her absence.
In midair, Soul inched closer. Houtu was suppressed and kept retreating. She felt a great deal of pressure, and the sneer on Soul’s face frightened her. The Bow of Bliss trembled as ten thousand arrows were unleashed at the same time, but they still could not stop Soul.
Gulp.
Nethery swallowed the last piece of Fortune Flatbread. She burped, licked her lips, and then her eyes lit up slightly. She was looking forward to what was about to happen to her. Of course, she knew the flatbread’s effect, for it was one of Bu Fang’s best dishes. However, she was not sure what would happen to her this time.
Everything seemed to fall silent after the Fortune Flatbread was eaten, but nothing strange happened. Houtu could not help but begin to despair when she saw that. ‘How could she be in a daze in such an emergency?!’
Rumble!
At this moment, a tremendous amount of sinful power condensed into a terrifying beast head and struck Houtu. Her face turned pale, and she staggered backward. The Bow of Bliss in her hand was knocked flying away as well.
‘It’s over… We are going to lose… Once we lose, the throne of Void City will go to Soul, and the war between the Primitive Universe and the Soul Demon Universe will be completely changed…’ Houtu closed her eyes, looking hopeless.
Soul stepped on the air with the power of sin spreading behind her. The next moment, she closed in on Houtu, her eyes flashing with killing intent. Too many accidents had happened, and she dared not let any possibility that would cause another accident to exist.
Therefore, both Nethery and Houtu must die. Only dead people would not cause an accident! She would slowly get rid of that chef after killing the two Cursed Goddesses. When she had ascended to the throne of Void City, she would banish the chef! She would be the final victor!
Soul’s eyes were filled with excitement. The power of the Seven Sins merged as one and turned into an extremely sharp spear, the tip of which emanated evil power. In the distance, the three Great Soul Overlords looked at it admiringly.
“That’s the Spear of Sin… Although it is only a clone, its power is almost equivalent to that of our weapons.”
Envy Great Soul Overlord was really envious. The Spear of Sin was Soul God’s weapon. Legend had it that with one thrust, it could pierce several universes and wipe out countless lives. It was the ultimate weapon of mass destruction that topped all the universes!
The spear in Soul’s hand was not the real Spear of Sin, but its power was not weak either. She could easily kill Houtu with it and even pierce Nethery at the same time!
“Die!” Soul focused her eyes as a murderous aura erupted from her body. She clutched the spear and hurled it forward with all her might. She wanted to pierce Houtu with this blow!
As the spear was falling and Houtu was despairing, a slim, fair palm suddenly emerged and caught it, stopping it from going further.
That gave Soul pause. She jerked her head up and turned to the person who had stopped her spear. It was Nethery!
At this moment, something subtle seemed to be happening to Nethery. Her black hair was waving, and her black eyes looked as deep as the black holes in the starry sky. Blue veins were spreading at the corners of her eyes, crawling slowly toward her ears. They gave her a fearsome look.
Most importantly, there was a crystal embedded at the center of her brow. It was the Crystal of Dao, which represented an entire universe!
“What is going on?!”
A vast amount of Chaotic Energy erupted and swept toward Soul. She never expected this. Nethery was merely a Saint of the Great Path and her cultivation base was not strong, but the aura and pressure she exuded at this moment were comparable to that of a duke-level expert!
“How is this even possible?!” Soul was stunned, and her spear stopped moving forward.
Nethery clenched her palms. The next moment, her ghostly green cursed snake slithered down her arm and darted forward, colliding with Soul’s black cursed snake.
The void trembled violently and was filled with a deafening rumble. As many watched in disbelief, Soul staggered back several steps. She was a Chaotic Saint, yet she lost to a Saint of the Great Path in the collision! This was completely beyond her knowledge and understanding!
Houtu’s eyes were glazed. She did not expect that Nethery would suddenly go berserk.
Meanwhile, in front of the restaurant, Duchess Yunlan widened her eyes. As Nethery’s guardian, she knew her cultivation base very well. She could not believe that Nethery had forced Soul back with just one blow. This was just too… bizarre!
Even Duchess Nightmare had a strange look on her face. “Yunlan… Has your Cursed Goddess been pretending to be weak all this time?” she could not help but say.
Duchess Yunlan rolled her eyes. She knew nothing about this.
Bu Fang lifted the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard that, while Xiao Ai covered her mouth in surprise. ‘Oh, I didn’t know Her Excellency Nethery is so fearsome!’ she thought to herself.
“The Fortune Flatbread had done its magic again…” Er Ha’s eyes lit up. He was very impressed with this dish. He still remembered how a Fortune Flatbread had forcibly pulled his father’s soul from the Transmigration. That alone was enough to prove its heaven-defying effect.
“This is the enhanced Fortune Flatbread, and it is mixed with Chaotic Energy. Based on the fluctuation of the Law of Time that erupted from her just now, the Nethery here is a future version of her… As for how far down the passage of time, I do not know.
“At the very least, her current cultivation base should have reached the peak of a Chaotic Saint, which is equivalent to that of a duke-level expert,” Bu Fang said. He briefly explained to the others the reason for Nethery’s transformation.
A flatbread? Nethery’s transformation was because of a flatbread? Many people froze. “Why is the flatbread so heaven-defying?”
“This is not considered heaven-defying. There’s a time limit to this kind of improvement. It would be heaven-defying if Nethery jumps directly to the level of Chaotic Saints and stays there forever,” Bu Fang said, smacking his lips.
Houtu was pleasantly surprised. She turned to Nethery, but she shuddered the moment she saw her eyes. At this moment, Nethery looked like a supreme being who came from beyond the skies. Her aura was much nobler than a duke.
“Impossible… You can’t beat me!” Soul did not believe this. A humming sound rang out, and the black orb emerged in her hand once again. It spun and transformed into the Spear of Sin. Without hesitation, she grabbed it and hurled it toward Nethery.
Nethery’s dress fluttered. Slowly, she lifted her hand and caught the Spear of Sin. Her cursed snake darted out and coiled around the spear. With a poof, the sharp weapon disintegrated into black smoke and dissipated. The next moment, she appeared in front of Soul as if she had just teleported and threw out her palm.
Hastily, Soul thrust her palm as well. The two palms collided in midair. The next moment, a great force struck Soul and knocked her to the ground.
An uproar echoed throughout heaven and earth. The atmosphere in Void City changed. Many people could not believe that Soul, the strongest among the three Cursed Goddesses, was beaten up by Nethery! The Soul Demons were roaring and hissing as well, while the three Great Soul Overlords’ eyes flashed savagely.
Rubble fell as Soul rose from the ruins. Suddenly, she felt a shock of cold. In the sky, Nethery lifted her hand. Countless cursed snakes emerged and covered her arm, stacking on top of each other until they were in front of Soul, their heads less than one inch away from her eyes. In an instant, these cursed snakes could tear her apart.
After eating the Fortune Flatbread, a Nethery of ten thousand years later was summoned, and she brought Soul a crushing defeat.
Soul did not dare to move—she was shaking both physically and mentally. Houtu, on the other hand, covered her mouth in disbelief. The nobles in the surroundings were all struck dumb. The outcome of this battle was already clear.
Nethery’s hair streamed down on both sides of her beautiful face. As if she had just done something insignificant, she stared nonchalantly at Soul and said, “You’ve… lost.”
