Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The silver Divine flame had fused with almost three thousand Laws. Although its power had not increased substantially because Bu Fang had not yet become a God, its elemental power was not weak at all.
As soon as Soul Two and Soul Three closed in on it, they felt an extreme terror, which seemed to cause their bodies to twist and distort. Streams of black smoke twisted to help them fend off the Divine flame, but the moment they approached it, they boiled and then evaporated.
“What is this thing?!” The faces of Soul Two and Soul Three, which were concealed by black smoke, turned extremely unsightly. “Charge through the fire! Our target is… that Xiayi Divine Emperor!” Soul Two growled.
Suddenly, the black smoke surged and slammed into the Divine flame, filling the air with a rumbling sound. The flame spread with a boom and turned into a silver divine dragon, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws while roaring. Then, in just a flash, Soul Two was devoured by it. A sizzling sound could be heard, and Soul Two’s aura could no longer be sensed.
“How is this even possible?!” Soul Three was almost scared to death, and he forcibly stopped himself in place. Soul Two was not weak. In fact, the strength of all those who could become Numbered Soul Demons was extremely fearsome—human God Kings were just their food. Still, she was swallowed up by the flame before she could even struggle!
Rumbling filled the air as the Divine flame pulsed. Without hesitation, Soul Three turned and bolted away, not daring to get close. There was something terrible and strange about that fire!
“Oh? Now you want to flee?” Bu Fang glanced indifferently at Soul Three as the latter fled in panic.
The power of the Divine flame now was terrifying. Since the beginning, it was already a very effective weapon in burning the black balls left behind by these Soul Demons, and now, it was even easier to use it against them.
Bu Fang waved his finger in the void, then pointed it in the distance. The Divine flame immediately burst apart in midair, turning into numerous little silver lotus flowers. Spinning and drifting quietly in the air, these little fire lotus flowers shot toward Soul Three under the control of Bu Fang’s divine sense.
“Is he really just a human Demigod? Dammit… How could he be so strong!?”
Soul Three was scared out of his wits. He and the other Soul Demons all knew about human Demigods, who were as weak as ants. They were strong enough to kill them as soon as they emerged from the black balls, so it never occurred to him that he, a Numbered Soul Demon, would be forced into such a desperate situation by a human Demigod!
Lord Dog’s eyes gleamed with surprise. “This fire is quite… interesting,” he muttered.
He found that he was now increasingly unable to read Bu Fang. ‘Bu Fang boy’s means are getting stronger and stronger. Also, with such a strong accumulation, it has become tougher and tougher for him to break through to the God realm…’ he thought to himself and breathed out a long sigh.
Looking at Bu Fang, who stood calmly beside him, Lord Dog felt nostalgic for a moment. When they met for the first time, Bu Fang was just an ordinary man who could cook delicious food. However, as time passed, that Bu Fang boy had grown to the point on a par with him. In fact, even his bone was losing its power over Bu Fang.
‘He deserves to be the man who I value much!’

Lord Dog thought of the time in the past when Bu Fang frequently said that he wanted to be a God of Cooking. Now, it seemed likely that he would indeed become a God of Cooking!
A rumbling sound could be heard as one fire lotus after another bloomed in midair. Soul Three tried to flee, but he could not. His escape space was constantly compressed by the fire lotus.
“Dammit!” It never occurred to Soul Three that he would come here to die! He was very angry, boiling with rage. He had thought that coming here to occupy the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s body was a good thing, but when he looked at it now, this was simply a suicide mission.
“Why wasn’t I as lucky as Soul Thirteen? Instead of running into a seriously injured and dying Divine Emperor, I actually encountered such a heaven-defying Demigod!”

Rumble!
Compressed by the Divine flame, Soul Three howled, turned into wisps of black smoke, and vanished into the void. Suddenly, a loud boom rang out, and the void exploded as the Soul Demon, who had turned into black smoke and tried to flee, was burned into nothingness by Bu Fang’s Divine flame.
With a thought in his mind, the Divine flame quickly flew back into Bu Fang’s hand, burning and spinning quietly in his palm. There seemed to be fire flickering in his eyes as he looked at the dancing flame.
In the distant sky, a terrible war was breaking out. That was the war between the Divine Emperor and his calamity. The calamity had turned into an army, and its battle cries shook the sky. The Divine Emperor, on the other hand, was dripping with blood as he fought the army alone.
The whole world fell silent at the sight of this. Everyone was watching quietly as sadness filled their hearts. Some veteran courtiers could no longer hold down their desire to fight, and their bodies were shaking. They could not wait to rush up and fight alongside their Divine Emperor.
The army the Laws had turned into was extremely strong, formidable as the Divine Emperor. He was already badly injured by the Power of Law.
After killing Soul Two and Soul Three, Bu Fang and Lord Dog turned to look at the Divine Emperor, who was transcending his calamity. The latter looked rather miserable.
The Heavengod’s calamity, or rather, the calamity that would descend when one’s end was near, was the greatest tribulation a God Emperor had to transcend. If the Divine Emperor got through it, he would have a chance to live on and break through to the Heavengod realm. If he failed, he would turn into ashes.
“The Heavengod’s calamity is indeed… terrifying. Even my fur is standing on end now,” Lord Dog said, sticking out his tongue.
