Chapter 868: Hairy Crab, Don’t Run!
Boop! Boop!
Stone spikes shot from the bridge, one after the other . They pierced through flesh, causing blood to spray everywhere .
Chilling screams rang out .
The oceanic species’ experts were being run through . The stone spikes had a strange suction capability that allowed it to suck all the blood of those it pierced, and even the souls of the spikes’ victims were swallowed . Those experts did not have a chance to run away .
The stone bridge connecting the two lands was akin to a greedy beast . It had absorbed the blood and souls of the oceanic species .
In the distance, Bu Fang continued eating Dragon Blood Rice with his fragrant stir-fried scallop meat . It tasted so good, and its aroma was great .
He took a sip of Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew, and this made him feel even more delighted .
Bu Fang gazed at the set of corpses that littered the stone bridge . The souls, spirits, and true energies in the corpses of the oceanic species’ experts were all gone .
Honestly, those experts would have made good cooking ingredients, but without their souls, spirits, and true energies, as cooking ingredients, they were just trash .
When Bu Fang felt full, he stood up . After putting away the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and Black Turtle Constellation Wok, he continued on his journey .
Amethyst Elder was moving incredibly fast, crossing the sky like a shooting star . His speed even caused sonic booms .
After crossing ten thousand rivers, he finally arrived at the Light Wind Empire .
At around ten thousand meters high in the air, a fine tear appeared in the void . It ripped open, and a figure emerged from within .
Amethyst Elder’s hair was pointed upward like a stack of needles . His hands were clasped, and his eyes flickered like lightning .
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a beam of light, diving towards the Light Wind Empire .
He could sense the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk’s aura down there .
When he landed, he walked through the bustling street, turning left and right at certain junctions . Eventually, he reached a quiet alley .
A moment after entering the small alley, Amethyst Elder spotted a restaurant—the only restaurant in that alley .
When he saw the restaurant, his eyes widened, and he sucked in a breath of cold air . This was because this restaurant looked exactly the same as the restaurant he saw in the Valley of Gluttony .
Why did both restaurants look exactly the same?
The restaurant was open for business, and people could be seen walking in and out . The atmosphere over there seemed extremely lively .
Amethyst Elder narrowed his eyes with curiosity . A moment later, he decided to enter the restaurant .
When he entered the restaurant, he found himself a seat, and a pretty, young girl walked over to take his order .
Amethyst Elder checked the menu without changing his expression . He really wanted to know how this restaurant differed from the other mysterious restaurant .
Hence, after ordering his food, he began to look around .

To be honest, this restaurant does not look strange .
However, when he decided to send out his mental energy, he was frightened to realize that it could not permeate the kitchen .
How could this be?!
Amethyst Elder’s cultivation base had already reached an unfathomable level . After fusing with the demon eye from the Demon Eye Clan’s Demon Lord, Amethyst Elder’s cultivation base had advanced at a terrifying rate .
However, despite his current cultivation base, he couldn’t see through the kitchen .
This left Amethyst Elder astonished . After a while, he perceived an aroma wafting out of the kitchen . Shortly after, Ouyang Xiaoyi came out with his food .
Amethyst Elder studied Ouyang Xiaoyi for a while . He even glanced at the kitchen once more . Then, he picked up his chopsticks and slowly enjoyed his meal .
However, he did not consider the dish to be anything special . To him, it was just so-so .
After all, he had eaten real delicacies during the Valley of Gluttony’s Glutton God’s Banquet .
Ouyang Xiaoyi was a little curious about this purple-haired man .
When she snapped out of her reverie only a moment later, she was startled to see that the purple-haired man’s table was now vacant, and only a bag of crystals was left behind as payment . The man had already gone .
Amethyst Elder’s long robe fluttered as he streaked across the sky .
He then headed towards the location of the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk, which he had sensed earlier .
He had just stopped by that restaurant only out of curiosity .
After eating a dish there, he decided to get straight down to business and destroy the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk .
Inside the big crystal mine
With his hands clasped, Bu Fang continued walking forward .
Heat continuously emanated from the ground as lava continued to surge and boil above .
Bu Fang ate the stir-fried scallop in his hands while walking . He could still perceive the aroma of that mysterious dish .
The smell was so good that he would not get angry if he had to continue smelling it for a long time .
The farther Bu Fang walked, the more astonished he became . This was because he had realized that the energy in the air got thicker as he advanced .
This place was still within the Southern Region . However, the spirit energy here was much thicker than he had ever expected . It seemed quite strange .
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Exuberant noises rang out from an area far ahead .
While shoving cubes of stir-fried scallop into his mouth, which left his lips oily, Bu Fang dashed towards the source of the noise, where he assumed a battle was taking place .

A moment later, he arrived and saw that a battle was indeed taking place . It was a battle between experts of the oceanic species’ and the demon scorpion race .
These experts had assumed their real forms, and they were fighting on a vast, empty land . Crushed rocks and dust kept soaring into the air .
Amidst the chaos, there was something glowing in a visually captivating manner .
Bu Fang watched events unfold while chewing his food . He found out that the glowing object was actually a token, which was made of the best quality crystal .
It looked like the experts of the oceanic species and demon scorpion race were vying for that token .
It was a giant crab fighting against a giant demon scorpion . Their death-or-life combat looked funny, though .
Bu Fang observed from a distance . He was not in no hurry to join the battle .
Those two were at the Divine Soul Realm and had almost reached the Almighty Realm . They weren’t weaker than the leader of the water scorpion tribe, who Bu Fang had beaten up .
Their battle had caused a commotion .
The crab from the oceanic species wasn’t really big . In fact, it was smaller than the demon scorpion . The demon scorpion was around three meters tall, while the crab was just around one meter . This did not factor in its two huge claws .
These claws made the crab look even more frightening than the demon scorpion .
Bu Fang watched them excitedly .
They both seemed evenly matched, and for the time being, neither of them could defeat the other .
Bu Fang just watched from afar . He had no intention to disturb them . No matter what, they were from the species with pincers, so he could only let them fight .
His Vermillion Robe fluttered gently . Soon, Bu Fang began to walk towards them at a leisurely pace .
With bloodshot eyes, the crab and the demon scorpion fought each other crazily . None of them had detected Bu Fang .
Bu Fang sauntered through the area where the monsters were fighting, heading towards the token .
The glowing token seemed to have some moving symbols on it .
Bu Fang furrowed his brows . Everything in this deep hole seemed mysterious, and he found them somewhat bizarre .
He glanced behind momentarily and saw that the demon scorpion was still engaged in a bloody battle against the crab . He then raised his hand and grabbed the token .
The moment he touched the token, a torrent of mysterious information rushed into his brain from it .
Bu Fang’s eye glowed instantly . After that, a map appeared in his mind .
Suddenly, Bu Fang felt his mind travel ten thousand miles away in just a blink of an eye . He saw something in the distance .
It was a great lake .
The rippling water of the lake was blood-red, and an imposing bronze palace was situated on it . In front of the palace, two massive, ancient black boats were anchored .
Swish .

Everything then disappeared .
Bu Fang pulled himself together as he was feeling a little dazed .
This token was the key . He believed that the palace he had seen was located somewhere in the world within this massive pit .
However…
Why did that bronze palace and the two ancient black boats look so familiar?
Bu Fang immediately remembered where he had seen them…
Suddenly, he frowned . The commotion had ceased, and sounds of fighting could no longer be heard .
Bu Fang was bewildered .
A moment later, huge shadows loomed over him .
Swish .
Something ripped through the air . A scorpion’s tail streaked towards Bu Fang!
“Lowly human insect! You dared to trick us?! Die!”
The giant demon scorpion and the crab had stopped fighting . Their cold gazes were now fixed on Bu Fang .
They had been fighting for that token, but someone decided to steal it when their backs were turned . Unforgivable!
“Indeed, humans are all cunning and evil! Must be killed!” The giant crab’s mandibles moved as it bellowed .
Boom!
Bu Fang’s figure flickered and turned into a silhouette as he vanished .
His afterimage was torn apart by the demon scorpion’s tail . The tail pierced through the ground, making a deep hole .
Bu Fang landed far away from them . Holding the jade token, he expressionlessly stared at the giant crab and the demon scorpion .
Weren’t they just having a dogfight over there? Why did they stop?
The crab and the demon scorpion charged at him .
“Dare to run?!” the demon scorpion roared .
“Brother Crab, use your claw to smash that human!” yelled the demon scorpion .
“Brother Scorpion, you’re right! We must eradicate these despicable humans!”
The oceanic species’ crab crawled rapidly, and suddenly, it leaped into the sky . With its pincers wide open, it was intent on reaching Bu Fang .
The crab and the demon scorpion had the same goal now .
Bu Fang was a little speechless .
Had these two buddies come here to do comedy?
Bu Fang didn’t want to waste his time, though . The image of that bronze palace appeared in his mind, giving him a strange but familiar feeling .
He pulled out the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife .
His true energy surged into the knife, and a dragon’s roar reverberated all around as dragon might rose out of it .
The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife grew in size rapidly, then Bu Fang placed it on his shoulders . He gripped the knife’s handle with both hands, then took a deep breath .
After that, he dashed toward the giant crab and the demon scorpion .
The roar of a golden dragon pierced the sky .
The giant crab trembled, and the demon scorpion’s tail stopped in midair . The latter’s lantern-like eyes opened wide, looking at Bu Fang in fright .
The surging knife energy condensed into a formidable blade .
Irresistible!
Swoosh!
The demon scorpion was instantly cut in half as the arachnid’s shell couldn’t withstand the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife’s Overlord Thirteen Blades .
The huge crab was dumbstruck .
Seeing the demon scorpion get split in half in just one slash, the crab trembled, causing its giant pincers to shiver .
Are humans this brutal nowadays?!
So scary!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, the crab moved all its legs and began fleeing the scene .
As that human could halve the demon scorpion with one strike, there was no doubt it could do the same to it too .
So, if it didn’t run now, when should it run then?!
Farewell, Brother Scorpion . We won’t meet again…
As Bu Fang watched the crab flee with all its might, the corners of his mouth twitched .
“How lively is that crab?! Really good… It must be a good cooking ingredient then . ”
Bu Fang grinned, putting the token into his system dimensional bag . He swung his huge kitchen knife over his shoulder before running after the crab .
“Hairy crab! Don’t run!”
Steamed hairy crab… was the best .
