Chapter 1790: Stinky Stargazy Tofu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Primitive Sphere was a vast land, almost boundless, and occupied more than half of the universe.
Bu Fang was hovering in midair, watching the battle in the distance. It was a battle between a Soul Demon and a Saint of the Great Path of the Primitive Universe. Fierce energy fluctuations shook heaven and earth, sand and rocks kept shooting in all directions, the ground was covered with cracks, and the sky had become dark.
The battle was far away from the human city, so it did not cause any casualties. However, the Saint of the Great Path was at a disadvantage. If he was defeated, the Soul Overlord would certainly rush into the city and kill those innocent people and shed blood like water.
The Saint of the Great Path had only just broken through and was not very strong. So was the Soul Demon. Perhaps it was because the Great Path of the Primitive Universe was perfect that the number of Soul Overlords, which was supposed to be limited to only seven, was increasing steadily here.
To the Soul Demons, the Primitive Universe was simply a paradise, a key that could open the door to a new era. Except for Great Soul Overlords, any Soul Demon could grow into a Soul Overlord as long as he keeps devouring humans here. Unlike in other universes, only seven Soul Overlords could be born even after all the living beings were slaughtered.
Although most of the Soul Demons were kept at bay by the experts of the Primitive Universe, there were always some who managed to sneak in. They laid low and grew in the dark into Soul Overlords, then tried to bring the Primitive Universe down from within.
This was roughly the current situation in the Primitive Universe.
Rumble!
The power of sin turned into a whirlwind, sweeping across the land and smashing countless boulders into powder. The Saint of the Great Path countered the move with bare hands. With a wave of his hand, an immense amount of energy poured out. The two energies collided in midair with a thunderous rumble.
What the Soul Overlord comprehended should be pride, one of the seven sins. His energy gave Bu Fang a very familiar feeling. Bu Fang had no intention to continue watching. From the beginning, he did not hide his tracks. As he came through the air, the Saint of the Great Path and the Soul Overlord immediately sensed his arrival.
“Who goes there?!”
The Saint of the Great Path’s expression changed drastically. He was in a very bad state at the moment. If his opponent had help arriving, he would surely be defeated. If that happened, this region would be plunged into an abyss of misery. He knew all too well the tragic situation that happened after the Soul Demon’s invasion.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m on your side,” Bu Fang said faintly.
In midair, the Soul Overlord was shocked as well, but when he sensed that Bu Fang’s aura was only a Saint of the Great Path, he was slightly relieved. Still, he did not hesitate to turn and run.
He was not afraid to face the Primitive Universe’s Saint of the Great Path, who was weaker than him, but the new guy’s aura was much stronger than his. So he made a snap decision to run away. After all, it was not easy for him to grow to his current level in the Primitive Universe—he did not want his hard-earned cultivation base to go to waste.
The Saint of the Great Path’s face flickered. If he let this Soul Overlord escape and continue to grow, he would surely become a disaster later. Such creatures as the Soul Demons must be killed before they grow up. However, even though he wanted to intercept, his strength fell short. He was still weaker than the Soul Overlord.
Looking at the Soul Overlord who was about to flee, Bu Fang said indifferently, “Did I say you could leave?” As he spoke, Foxy, sitting on his shoulder, leaped into his arms.
‘What is this guy trying to do?’ The Saint of the Great Path froze slightly.
A faint smile brushed Bu Fang’s lips as he raised his hand and gave the little fox a light pat on the buttocks. Foxy rolled her eyes. Since becoming Heavengod Destruction, she had learned to be proud, and she did not like to be patted on the butt. Of course, Bu Fang ignored that.
With the slap, energy suddenly gathered in the little fox’s mouth, then shafts of golden light exploded out and thrust into the sky. The next moment, a golden meatball shot out of her mouth and sped into the distance with a long golden tail. A rumbling sound rang out, and it had already closed in on the fleeing Soul Overlord.
The Soul Overlord was taken aback. His instinct gave him a sense of crisis. He glanced over his shoulder and immediately saw a golden meatball coming straight at his face!
“What the f*ck is this?!”
Astonished, he raised his hand. A churning wave of sinful power poured out, rushed toward the meatball, and… collided with it! A deafening rumble erupted as a terrible mushroom cloud rose from the Primitive Sphere. The whole ground shook violently, while rolling smoke filled with a tantalizing fragrance spread, making the mouths of those who smelled it water.
The Saint of the Great Path was stunned. ‘What kind of tactic is this?! That fox just spewed out a beam of golden light and killed a Soul Overlord who is stronger than me?!’ He had always thought that the young man was an almighty expert, but now he realized that he was wrong. It turned out that the fox in that youth’s arms was the almighty expert!
A vague figure rushed out of the billowing smoke and dust, trying to escape. As soon as he saw that, the Saint of the Great Path’s expression changed. “That’s the Soul Demon’s true form! He must be obliterated! Don’t let him escape!” he shouted in alarm.
However, before he could finish his words, he saw a beam of white light flash past before his eyes. When it reappeared, it was already in front of the Soul Overlord. It turned out to be a puppet. As the Saint of the Great Path watched in shock, the belly of the metal puppet transformed into a black hole, and then the Soul Overlord’s true form was sucked into it.
‘How terrifying! What kind of combination is this? Are they enemies or friends? If these guys are enemies, it will be the end of all the people in this area! I couldn’t hold them off for more than a second!’
Whitey’s purple eyes flashed and then, with the speed of teleportation, it returned to where it came from, standing behind Bu Fang like a competent bodyguard. Although it had just devoured the true form of a Soul overlord, it looked as if it had done nothing but a trivial thing.
In the blink of an eye, a Soul Overlord was gotten rid of. The Saint of the Great Path stared in horror at Bu Fang, Foxy, and Whitey.
“Relax… We’re on your side,” Bu Fang said. “I thought the Primitive Universe and the Soul Demon Universe are at war? Where is the battlefield?” He had finally found someone who might know the latest news, so he hurriedly asked him what he wished to know.
“Who are you?”
The Saint of the Great Path was still very wary. The main reason was that the strength Bu Fang had shown was so fearsome that it crept him out. If Bu Fang wanted to do something to him, he would not be able to resist at all.
“We’re from the Chaotic Universe…” Bu Fang briefly introduced himself.
Although the Saint of the Great Path was still a little skeptical after listening to the introduction, he was at least not so nervous anymore. In fact, he also figured it out. With the little fox and the puppet here, if Bu Fang really wanted to do something to him, he would not have the ability to resist. Since he had no power to resist, he would just yield.
“Oh, so you’re an ally from the Chaotic Universe… Are you here to help? The battlefield isn’t here…” he said.
“Where is it?” Bu Fang frowned. Did he teleport to the wrong place?
“The battlefield is outside the Nine Heavens above the Celestial Court. That’s where the most intense battle is being fought. The Soul Demons in the Primitive Universe are just mongrels,” said the Saint of the Great Path.
“Outside the Nine Heavens above the Celestial Court? Well, thanks a lot.” Bu Fang nodded.
“I’m Ju Mang… May I know your name?”
“I’m Bu Fang.”
As they chatted, they landed on the ground, which had been turned into ruins and covered with potholes. Ju Mang seemed to be a very friendly person. He talked a lot and even introduced the current war situation in the Primitive Universe.
The situation was indeed not good. The Soul Demons had launched an all-out attack, and many parts of the Primitive Sphere had fallen and were being attacked by them. However, a lot of Saints of the Great Path had been assigned to guard the cities and stop the Soul Demons from devouring humans, as well as to resist the invasion.
Meanwhile, the other experts of the Primitive Universe were fighting against the army of Soul Demons outside the Nine Heavens!
“Lately, the Soul Demons’ harassment has become much more frequent… Not only the city I guard, but many other cities around this region have also been attacked by them. It’s a sign that things are not going well outside the Nine Heavens…” Ju Mang said. His face was a little unsightly.
Bu Fang nodded.
Afterward, Ju Mang led them to a rocky hill outside the city. Within the hill was a small world built by him. Generally, Saints of the Great Path did not enter the mortal world. They sat outside the city, detached from the mortals, but were always guarding the world. According to Ju Mang, many cities in the Primitive Universe were guarded by Saints of the Great Path.
“Do you want to get rid of all the Soul Demons in this region in one go?” Bu Fang said when they were inside the small world.
At this moment, he secretly compared this small world with his Heaven and Earth Farmland, and then found that the stability of the farmland was much stronger. In fact, they were not on the same level at all.
“Get rid of them in one go? It’s impossible. These Soul Overlords are secretive and basically act in a scattered manner. How are we going to get rid of them all in one go?” Ju Mang shook his head.
“I have a way to do that. Just help me gather all the Saints of the Great Path in this region,” Bu Fang said. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Ju Mang frowned. If he summoned all the nearby Saints of the Great Path here, it would also mean that they, too, would likely be wiped out in one fell swoop. This solution was really undesirable. However, when he thought about the little fox’s strength and the puppet’s power, he was tempted.
‘With these two almighty experts around, perhaps he really can get rid of all the Soul Demons in the vicinity in one go!’
After a moment’s hesitation, Ju Mang sent a voice transmission to all the Saints of the Great Path guarding the nearby cities.
At first, most Saints of the Great Path chose not to believe him. After all, they could not leave the cities they were guarding at will. If a city was slaughtered by the Soul Demons, it would be a major blow to the morale of the humans and the Primitive Universe.
So most of them rejected Bu Fang’s proposal. Of course, there were still a few of them who chose to believe Ju Mang.
After a long time, a whistling sound could be heard, and then a few Saints of the Great Path flew into the small world, their bodies glowing brilliantly. They had tried to keep it as low-key as possible. Whenever a Saint of the Great Path traveled, the light and sound were very obvious. In order not to attract the Soul Demons’ attention, they had suppressed their power.
Four Saints of the Great Path. That was how many Ju Mang was able to summon. The number was so few that he felt embarrassed. But Bu Fang did not mind.
“Bu Fang, how do you plan to get rid of the Soul Demons all together?” Ju Mang asked curiously. He was genuinely curious as to what means Bu Fang had to bring those parasitic Soul Demons together.
Bu Fang said nothing. If he wanted to kill all the nearby Soul Demons in one fell swoop, he would need to use a special method to draw them all together first. For example, he could use the Soul Demons’ favorite stinky tofu and Stargazy Pie.
‘When these two dark dishes combine into one,’ Bu Fang thought to himself, ‘It should be called… The Stinky Stargazy Tofu.’
