Chapter 1776 - Bu Fang Enters the Palace (2/2)
“You’re not qualified,” she answered coldly.
“If I’m not qualified, then the two out there are even less qualified… I’ve exchanged everything I own today with my life! What were they doing when I was fighting for my life in the Soul Demon Universe?!” Soul said, her tone becoming faster and faster. “There’s no way they can match everything that I’ve gone through, and my qualifications are not for you to judge!”
Soul’s eyes turned scarlet. The next moment, the black orb with the power of the Seven Sins inside emerged in her hand, and then a withered paw that looked like a dried-up branch stretched out of it.
Duchess Nightmare’s pupils narrowed. She found that her body was pressed to the ground by the withered paw. She tried to break it with her mighty curse power, but it would not budge. ‘What is this thing?!’ she thought to herself and sucked in a cold breath.
Suddenly, Soul caught Duchess Nightmare’s head in her hand and pushed it to the ground. A loud boom echoed out, and the ground cracked. “Stay here… The throne of Void City is mine,” she said.
At this moment, Soul’s eyes were scarlet, and her aura was extremely terrifying. It was as if the soul inside this body was no longer the Soul who Duchess Nightmare was very familiar with, but another horrible being. And when she spoke, it was as if a soul was about to jump out of her. Even her voice had turned hoarse.
She stood up, then walked with swaying steps toward the Queen of Curses’ palace. She narrowed her scarlet eyes slightly, while the corners of her lips curved upward into an excited smile.
The battle continued to rage on in the sky. Terrible attacks and rumbling sounds filled the air. By joining their power and forming the array, the three Great Soul Overlords managed to suppress Lord Dog and the others. For a moment, their fight reached a stalemate.
Meanwhile, the army of Soul Demons was attacking wildly as well. It was held off by Bu Fang and his apprentices with dark cuisine, but this was not the ultimate solution. The mental force of Xiao Xiaolong and others was draining fast.
Foxy, or Heavengod Destruction, kept shooting Soul Demon meatballs, killing Soul Demons by batches. But the enemies were endless, for they could form new bodies after they were killed. This made them very difficult to be completely eliminated.
Whitey joined the battle, too. Its purple eyes flashed fiercely as purple energy beams shot out of its hand, knocking down a large number of enemies.
The few of them had stopped the army of tens of thousands of Soul Demons.
Bu Fang frowned as he turned to look at the Queen of Curses’ palace, which was now shrouded in darkness. He knew he had to find a better way to end this. “You guys hold on first… I’ll go and have a look in the palace,” he said to his apprentices.
They nodded solemnly. Supported by Bu Fang’s oyster pancakes, their mental force could still last for some time. Besides, they were assisted by Niu Hansan.
At some point, Niu Hansan had produced a kind of seed. Made with Pride Great Soul Overlord’s corpse Bu Fang had left in the farmland, whenever he sprinkled a handful of them, they fell onto the Soul Demons’ bodies and slowly swallowed them until nothing was left. It was a very effective weapon against the Soul Demons.
If it had not been for Niu Hansan, Xiao Xiaolong and the others would have been defeated. After all, there were simply too many Soul Demons. Whitey was slaughtering in the distance with the bodies of Soul Demons piling up into a hill under its feet. It looked like a God of Slaughter.
Bu Fang turned around. The Law of Space swirled, allowing him to directly step through the darkness. Nethery and Houtu followed. As the Cursed Goddesses, they also wanted to know what had happened to the Queen of Curses. They, too, stood a chance to fight for the throne of Void City.
They traveled through the darkness and landed on the broken ground in front of the palace. They saw Duchess Nightmare, trapped by a withered, savage-looking branch that seemed to grow out of the ground. She lay there with a dull look in her eyes as if her life force had been sucked away by the branch.
Bu Fang, Nethery, and Houtu walked up to her. Looking at her from a close distance, they sucked in their breath. “What is this?” Bu Fang asked, frowning.
Nethery shook her head. She had no idea what this thing was. Houtu, on the other hand, was pondering. She seemed to have seen it before. Then, a horrified look came over her face as she thought of something.
“This is a ‘Soul-Devouring Tree’, which is cultivated with the essence of Soul Demons in the Soul Demon Universe!” She sucked in a cold breath.
There were many almighty experts in the Primitive Universe, but it was still having a hard time resisting the Soul Demons. The reason was not only because of the Soul Demons’ special nature, but also because of these Soul-Devouring Trees!
When Soul Overlords held the weapons made of Soul-Devouring Trees, their fighting prowess would be increased exponentially! It was said that the tree was controlled by the Soul God himself! Houtu never thought that she would see this thing in Void City.
Frowning, Bu Fang reached out a hand and touched the tree. The branch wiggled, and more tiny branches spread from it, trying to catch him.
He broke them into pieces, then he unleashed the divine flame. He planned to burn the tree. However, no sooner had the fire touched it than Duchess Nightmare, trapped beneath it, widened her eyes and howled.
“Stop! Duchess Nightmare’s soul had merged with the Soul-Devouring Tree now. If you burn the tree, you will burn her soul as well…” Houtu hurriedly stopped Bu Fang.
“Don’t mind me… Enter the palace and stop Soul… The throne of Void City cannot fall into her hands… Her will… Her will is controlled by the Soul God!” Duchess Nightmare said in a hurried and pained voice.
Bu Fang and the others felt a little headache, but they had no other ways to help her now. So, they stood up, turned, and started toward the palace.
The heavy stone doors stood ajar. When Bu Fang and the others came to it, they saw Soul’s swaying figure step through them in a flash. Houtu and Nethery looked at each other, then they hurried over and entered the palace as well.
Bu Fang exhaled. He was not sure if he should enter the Queen of Curses’ palace. The Queen hated chefs, and there might be many secret means in the palace that could kill him. However, after thinking about it again, he stepped forward.
Putting aside the fact that Nethery had gone into the palace, Bu Fang had a hunch that the Queen of Curses should be related to the God of Cooking. Just this alone was enough for him to enter the palace.
He opened the stone doors, took a deep breath, and walked inside. The moment he was inside, a silhouette came hurtling toward him!
