Chapter 1538: 1538

Even a God Emperor would be instantly killed by the Heavengod’s slap . After all, a Heavengod was supreme . Although God Emperors were strong, they were nowhere near as strong as a Heavengod . And Bu Fang was just a Demigod . How could he resist the slap? No one thought he could do it . Even if he tried his best, he had no hope to resist it . The gap between them was too huge, and it was not so easy to bridge .

And it was true . In the face of the Heavengod’s slap, Bu Fang dared not be careless . The shivering sensation in his soul forced him to do his best . He had taken out the complete God of Cooking Set, which gave him a defense that was considered invincible . Together with the Vermilion Robe’s invincibility, even a God Emperor could not hurt him .

However, when the Heavengod’s slap descended, it exploded out with an extremely terrible force . The Vermilion Robe was blown apart, and its invincibility was broken in an instant . The White Tiger Heaven Stove broke into two, filling the air with a cracking sound . The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife was covered with countless cracks, terrifying to look at . Even the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, which was famous for its strong defense, was cracked with a long line…

A jet of blood spewed out of Bu Fang’s mouth, bright red and giving off a pungent smell . As the Heavengod’s palm slowly faded away, he staggered back uncontrollably before slumping to the ground . The God of Cooking Set seemed to lose its spirituality and fell to the ground with a clanging sound .

The surrounding people were dumbfounded . They watched with blank faces and did not know what to say . Bu Fang appeared to be in a trance as if he could not quite comprehend what had just happened . The God of Cooking Set, which had accompanied him since the Light Wind Empire, was cracked…

‘The Heavengod’s slap could actually crack the God of Cooking Set?!’ He took a deep breath and felt the sharp pain coming from his lungs, which went deep into his bone . He was injured . He had not felt an injury for a long time .

With a whistle, Lord Dog tore through the sky and landed at Bu Fang’s side . Looking at him, who only had blood trickling from his mouth, Lord Dog could not help but breathe out a sigh of relief .

“Luckily…you’re only wounded and still alive,” Lord Dog said in his gentle and magnetic voice . There was a grateful tone in his words, but when he saw the God of Cooking Set that had scattered on the ground, he did not know what to say .

For a chef, cooking utensils were very important . How could one become a top God of Cooking without them? And now, Bu Fang’s cooking utensils were destroyed . “This Heavengod went too far!” Lord Dog said . Now that the cooking utensils were destroyed, Lord Dog was afraid that Bu Fang would be devastated and never cook Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs again . In that case, he would really be in tears . Life without Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs would always be bleak…

Nethery also landed at Bu Fang’s side, and a complicated expression came over her face when she saw his dull eyes . After wiping away the spatter of blood on her face, she looked at Bu Fang and said, “It’s all right to lose the weapons . I will protect you from now on . ” She had the confidence to say that now . Although she had not yet completely mastered the Cursed Goddess’s power, she was not afraid of even a God Emperor . It would be very easy for her to protect Bu Fang, even if the whole world was her enemy .

Meanwhile, the black whirlpool was floating in the sky . The Heavengod’s palm that stretched out of it had destroyed Bu Fang’s God of Cooking Set, but the whirlpool had not yet disappeared . It was as if there was a follow-up . That made the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s blood run cold . He stared at the black whirlpool .

Suddenly, he shuddered, as he seemed to see a pair of eyes in it . Yes, he saw a pair of bizarre eyes, which was cold with two pupils in each eye . With just one glance, the Divine Emperor felt as if his soul was about to be taken away . ‘What eyes are these? A Heavengod with two pupils in both eyes?!’

The pair of eyes looked down straight in the direction of Bu Fang . The owner of the eyes seemed to wonder why a mere Demigod could resist his slap .

The next moment, a humming sound could be heard as a beam of light shot out of the eyes in the black whirlpool, which was surrounded by countless mysterious runes . It sped forward in a flash, approaching Bu Fang like a chain to capture him . Apparently, the Heavengod behind the black whirlpool was very interested in Bu Fang .

This sudden change came as a surprise to all . “I can’t believe the Heavengod is still making another move!” The Divine Emperor’s face fell, but there was nothing he could do .

Bu Fang slowly raised his head . With blood trickling down from the corners of his mouth, he stared with dull eyes at the approaching chain of runes, which brought him a very strong sense of crisis .

Lord Dog flew into a rage . “This Heavengod is pushing things too far already!” He bared his teeth and growled .

Suddenly, Nethery’s graceful figure stood in front of Bu Fang . Ghostly green light burst out of her, turning into a roaring cursed snake that darted toward the chain of runes . “It’s time for you to stop . ” Her eyes glowed green as the cursed snake collided with the chain .

Rumbling filled the air as the snake crumbled before the mighty force . Then, she raised her fair hand and grabbed the chain . It tried to burrow into her but was completely crushed by the curse power .

The eyes in the black whirlpool flickered with surprise and gave Nethery a deep look . Finally, the whirlpool began to collapse and scatter . It meant that the Divine Emperor’s calamity was over . This made everyone feel as if the big stone weighing down their hearts was finally lifted and thrown to the ground .

“It’s finally over! His Majesty survived the calamity!” someone cheered in a low voice .

The Divine Emperor had a complicated look in his eyes . Yes, he did survive the calamity, but that was all because of Bu Fang . If Bu Fang’s Divine flame had not swallowed the Laws and caused the Heavengod’s slap to change the target, perhaps he would have become ashes now . The might of a Heavengod was extremely terrifying .

A humming sound filled the air as the black whirlpool faded away . The sky became clear, and the stars twinkled in the firmament . The calamity was like a dream . It had brought endless terror and was a nightmare for all, especially for Bu Fang .

Cough… Cough…

The Divine Emperor coughed in midair, spitting out splatters of blood . His aura was still aging, but his body felt light and relaxed because the calamity had disappeared . The calamity that had been weighing heavily on his mind was finally gone . Without it, he could go on living . Although his life force was still very weak, he was no longer as hopeless as before .

He landed on the ground, and all the people gathered around him . Gold Armor and Black Armor were thrilled, while King Pingyang and the other veteran courtiers sped over . Looking at the Divine Emperor, they were all too excited to speak . After talking to them for a while, the Divine Emperor walked toward Bu Fang .

Bu Fang was sitting on the ground . His hair was disheveled, and his Vermilion Robe was torn, exposing much of his fair skin . Blood trickled down from the corners of his mouth and fell to the ground .

“Mister Bu…” The Xiayi Divine Emperor looked at Bu Fang with complicated eyes . ‘Mu Hongzi had picked himself an excellent successor… I can’t believe he managed to survive the Heavengod’s slap…’ he thought . ‘That’s a Heavengod, an existence who stood at the pinnacle of the Chaotic Universe!’

“I’m fine…” Bu Fang stood up slowly and put away all the God of Cooking Set, which had lost all their luster . Then, he took out a robe from the System’s storage space, wrapped it around himself, and sighed .

Nethery and Lord Dog both looked worriedly at him . When a chef’s cooking utensils were destroyed, it was a huge blow . Could Bu Fang get over this?

“It’s nothing serious to have your cooking utensils destroyed . I’ll immediately order everyone to collect the best cooking utensils in the divine dynasty to compensate for Mister Bu’s loss!” said the Divine Emperor . He felt that Bu Fang’s cooking utensils were destroyed because of him, so he wanted to make amends .

“It has nothing to do with you . We’re just taking what we need from the situation . ” Bu Fang waved his hand and rejected the Divine Emperor’s offer . It was for the sake of the Divine flame that he helped the Divine Emperor .

The sharp pain coming from inside his body told him that his current condition was very serious . It was the worst injury he had ever suffered since he made his debut . “Come, let’s return to the restaurant,” he said .

Lord Dog and Nethery followed after him .

The surrounding people fell silent as they looked at him with complicated eyes . They could sense the destructive power in Bu Fang’s body, which belonged to the Heavengod, and it was constantly destroying his body . In their view, the peerless genius must have attracted heaven’s jealousy after comprehending three supreme Laws of the Universe, and he would soon lose all his glory . At this moment, he looked so weak that even a three-year-old boy could knock him over .

Bu Fang was indeed in a miserable state now, but only he knew exactly about his condition . He walked slowly away, and no one dared to stop him .

Luo Sanniang trotted over and followed after him with tears in her eyes . As she watched him walk with staggering steps, she felt a pain in her heart . ‘Heaven is really jealous of such extraordinary genius!’ she thought to herself .

The crown prince had a complicated look on his face . Bu Fang’s talent was far better than his, but with this major setback, he was likely to stay weak for a very long time and even… become just an ordinary man . But no matter what, Bu Fang deserved his respect .

Suddenly, Bu Fang paused and glanced over his shoulder at the crown prince . “It’s time to return to the restaurant . The restaurant will open tomorrow . You’re the waiter, so don’t forget to complete your tasks,” Bu Fang said lightly with an expressionless face .

The crown prince’s face froze . ‘Well, even though he’s seriously injured, his nasty temper still hasn’t changed,’ he thought, twitching his mouth .

Bu Fang left, and the crowd also dispersed with an excited mood . When the news that the Divine Emperor had successfully transcended the calamity spread, it immediately caused the entire divine dynasty to shake . In fact, even the whole Chaotic Universe was shocked . Countless people in the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty and the Titan Divine Dynasty were startled by the news .

“The Xiayi Divine Emperor had successfully transcended the calamity? Is the Xiayi Divine Dynasty going to have a Heavengod Divine Emperor? In that case, the Xiayi Divine Dynasty will be completely above the other two divine dynasties!”

The emissaries of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty had left . Since he had transcended the calamity, the Divine Emperor had lifted the restriction he had put on them . However, Fang Wuji did not go back with them . Instead, he chose to stay in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty and found himself a place not far away from Bu Fang’s restaurant . No one knew what he was thinking .

…

Luo Sanniang and the others were stopped outside the door . No one was allowed to enter the restaurant except those who worked in it . The heirs of aristocratic families and young masters all gathered outside the restaurant, exchanging glances .

Summer sighed, then left the restaurant and returned to the Divine Chef Temple . What happened to Bu Fang was a tragedy . If Mu Hongzi were here, what would he do?

…

The door of the restaurant remained closed . The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and no one was talking . Lord Dog lay under the Path-Understanding Tree, glancing at the kitchen from time to time . There was a hint of helplessness on his face as he sighed, causing the fat all over his body to jiggle .

Nethery sat quietly in a corner, her eyes dark and deep . The crown prince sat behind the counter, and no one knew what he was thinking now .

Er Ha was confused, his heart filled with monstrous waves . He wanted to know what was going on… He wished someone could tell him what had happened . He was cultivating in seclusion before this, and he wondered if he had missed some major event?

…

In the kitchen, Bu Fang removed the torn Vermilion Robe and was dressed neatly in a long white robe . His hands were clasped behind his back, and before him was the God of Cooking Set—the torn Vermilion Robe, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife that was covered with cracks, the cracked Black Turtle Constellation Wok, and the White Tiger Heaven Stove that had broken in two…

How to fix them? He had yet to collect the complete God of Cooking Set, and now they were all…destroyed . Bu Fang was now torn as to whether he could fix them .
