1213 Passing Through With Force! (1/2)

The demon mouths made of bones were the Culinary Gates of Life and Death.

Bu Fang had a feeling that the owner of the Divine Chef's inheritance seemed to be very fond of Abyssal Demons. So far, all the things he had seen were related to Abyssal Demons, and this struck him as a little strange.

Realm Lord Di Tai and Ying Ya had already stepped into the gates and were engulfed by darkness.

Bu Fang didn't know where these demon mouths led to. He looked up at the huge golden eyes in the sky, feeling the mighty pressure in them. He squinted at them for a long time, then exhaled and turned around, walking straight into the darkness.

He clasped his hands behind his back and walked at a steady pace. He wanted to see how frightening this so-called Culinary Gates of Life and Death was. If he passed it, he would be rewarded with Dark Qilin Bone, which was the item required to complete the system's temporary task. It was a win-win situation for him.

Tap, tap, tap...

Bu Fang walked straight down the tunnel. His footfalls were the only sound in the dark and quiet tunnel. Soon, even the only light source, which came from the entrance, disappeared. Darkness crept up on him and wrapped him from top to bottom, making him feel extremely cold.

He opened his mouth. A mass of white flame rushed out of it and burned ragingly in his palm, sending a scorching heat across the surroundings while illuminating the tunnel.

Suddenly, a sharp noise rang out as one bone spear after another thrust out of the bone walls and shot toward Bu Fang at top speed.

”Oh?” Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. ”So this is the Gate of Life and Death? It seems like the tunnel is trying to kill me… ” The bone spears gave him the same ominous feeling as those that appeared after his opponent lost the Chef's Challenge.

He furrowed his eyebrows and looked somewhat annoyed. ”If this is death, where is life?” He felt that this assessment was not worthy of the name.

”The Gates of Life and Death consist of life gates and death gates. The life gates will lead one to the assessment of culinary arts, while the death gates will lead one to... death.” The system's voice suddenly rang out in Bu Fang's head.

That gave Bu Fang a pause. He didn't expect that the system would appear to explain to him. Nevertheless, he seemed to have stepped into a death gate, to judge from what the system said.

Of the three gates, one was the death gate, and he happened to choose it.

Bu Fang felt somewhat speechless and a little disgusted. It seemed to him that one had to be lucky to get the inheritance, and the arrangement was used to simply reduce the number of candidates.

What was the point of this?

BOOM! BOOM!

Those bone spears pierced into the ground, only to come back out again in the next instant with even stronger forces. If Bu Fang were pierced by one of them, he would instantly be riddled by the others and torn into a thousand pieces. It would not be good for him.

”This seems to be somewhat different from the Divine Chef's inheritance I imagined.” Bu Fang pursed his lips. Of the assessments he had gone through so far, only the first one, the Stairway of Culinary Arts, was good enough. The rest were almost like jokes. ”Why is this Divine Chef's challenge so lax?”

Even then, he turned his body slightly. A bone spear shot past him and went straight into the ground. Bu Fang narrowed his eyes as a hostile look flashed in them. With a thought, Foxy appeared in his arms.

The little fox, who was pulled out of the Heaven and Earth Farmland, looked a little confused. While nibbling at a spirit fruit she held with her tiny paws, she blinked and glanced around. Then, she came to her senses, and she quickly and excitedly climbed up along Bu Fang's body, lay on his shoulder, and rubbed both her tails against his face.

Bu Fang rubbed Foxy's head, then told her to blast the tunnel apart. He was frustrated by the bone spears.

The little fox nodded and opened her mouth. Golden energy missiles immediately poured out from between her jaws and blasted the whole tunnel apart!

Bu Fang chose to pass through the death gate with force. Since there was no way out, he would blast one open. If truth be told, he wasn't too concerned about the Divine Chef's inheritance. He probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for the system's task. He had his own way, and he would complete his Cooking Path through it. Other people's ways did not suit him.

The bone walls around him kept breaking apart, and the whole tunnel seemed to be collapsing. Bu Fang summoned Shrimpy, stepped onto its back, and flew along the tunnel at top speed, turning into a golden stream of light and heading toward the distance. The deeper he went, the more powerful the bone spears were. Shrimpy flew faster and faster as the tunnel behind them was engulfed by flames.

RUMBLE!

Bu Fang's behavior seemed to have infuriated the will of the Divine Chef's inheritance as the pressure in the tunnel suddenly grew stronger.

He frowned and unleashed his divine will. The addition of the mental forces from the Divine Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Turtle made his divine will even stronger. It spread out in an instant, forcing back the will of the Divine Chef's inheritance.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, Bu Fang crashed through the tunnel wall and flew out of it. Broken pieces of bones flew in the air as he stood on Shrimpy's back with Foxy in his arms.

The Gates of Life and Death consisted of life gates and death gates. The life gates would lead one to the assessment of culinary arts, while the death gates will lead one to... death.

However, Bu Fang had used force and created his own life gate in the death gate.

After passing through the death gate, Bu Fang floated in midair and glanced around. What he saw gave him a pause.
