In fact, Bu Fang was not surprised to see Kun Bird here. The giant bird was originally from the Primitive Universe, so it was very normal that it would come here. For some reason, perhaps because it had been in the restaurant for a long time, the bird’s aura had become much stronger.
Kun Bird, who had grown small, was excited to see Bu Fang again. When Bu Fang rubbed its head, it narrowed its sharp eyes slightly, looking very enjoyable.
In the distance, a familiar aura erupted. Bu Fang watched quietly. The next moment, numerous swords emerged and converged rapidly, soon turning into a figure wearing a Daoist robe and emanating a fierce aura.
It was none other than Sect Leader Tongtian. However, he was different from the one Bu Fang met on the Ancestral Planet. At this moment, his aura was so powerful that it seemed to be able to cut through the universe, and the pressure he brought to Bu Fang was very close to that of the faceless man.
There was no doubt that this Sect Leader Tongtian was the real almighty expert of the Primitive Universe. His clone had gone to the Ancestral Planet to cultivate, then managed to break through the shackles after gaining enlightenment. The many experiences on the Ancestral Planet made his accumulation transform qualitatively in an instant.
“Owner Bu, you’re finally here.” Tongtian’s clone looked at Bu Fang and smiled. A soft circle of light rotated behind him.
Bu Fang nodded to him. He was also happy to meet an old friend in the Primitive Universe.
“Please come inside Hangu Pass. I’ve been waiting for you,” the Sect Leader said, raising his hand and pointing to the great city behind him. Then, his body dissolved into streams of light and slowly faded away.
Bu Fang glanced at the ancient city and took a step. Kun Bird, perched on his shoulder, spread its wings and let out a sonorous cry. The next moment, it grew huge in an instant. Carrying Bu Fang and the others, it flapped its wings, soared into the air, and flew toward Hangu Pass.
The city’s gates exuded a heavy aura of history, and its surface was stained with the blood of some almighty expert that had not yet dried. Bu Fang could even hear a rustling sound as the blood wriggled. Kun Bird flew through the gates at great speed and entered the city.
Once inside the city, everything in front of Bu Fang’s eyes changed. The sky was blood-colored as if there was blood boiling, and the air was filled with a strong murderous aura and a creepy atmosphere.
Unlike other cities, there were no houses or other buildings here, just a vast open space. There were staircases ascending to the top of the city walls, and there were countless guards, immortals, deities, and experts of the Primitive Universe standing at the bottom of the stairs. The faces of these people were very serious, and their horrifying auras joined into something monstrous.
All these experts looked up at Bu Fang as he passed through the gates into the city. Their expressions were calm, even cold, and their gazes gave him an uncomfortable feeling. At this moment, a figure came from afar and flew alongside Bu Fang.
“You’ve come after all, Owner Bu,” said Houtu. She was followed by Duchess Nightmare. They looked at Bu Fang with joy on their faces.
Bu Fang nodded to them.
Kun Bird took Bu Fang and landed under the city wall. In front of him was a stone staircase that stretched upward in a zigzag fashion. He had to climb it to get to the top of the wall. There were such stone staircases in other places, and the guards were climbing them continuously so they could mount the walls to defend against the Soul Demons’ attack.
Bu Fang stepped up the staircase and began the ascend. Houtu and Duchess Nightmare walked beside him—the stone stairs were wide enough for three people to walk abreast. The walls of Hangu Pass were extremely high, so they walked for a long time before they finally reached the top.
Standing on the walls, Bu Fang felt as if the stars were so close that he just had to reach out to pick one. However, when he looked out, his pupils shrank. A monstrous aura pounced on his face. Outside the city were countless Soul Demons, so many that his scalp tingled just by looking at them.
He saw colossal ancient beasts, huge Soul Overlords and Soul Demons, and all sorts of strange creatures from the Soul Demon Universe. They all gathered outside the city walls, looking like ants in great numbers!
Under the walls, bodies were piled as high as mountains. Many of them were Hangu Pass’s guards, and Bu Fang even saw the corpses of many Saints of the Great Path. Of course, Soul Demons made up the majority. Their reproduction rate was too high. These creatures who thrived on plunder were indeed very difficult to deal with.
A heroic aura blew at his face, and a constant rumble filled his ears. Bu Fang took a deep breath, feeling a little heavy inside. The Soul Demons were laying out in formation outside, preparing to attack Hangu Pass again. There were simply too many of them. One hundred thousand? A million? Ten million? Bu Fang could not count them, but the aura they emitted was so oppressive that he almost suffocated.
Not only that, but Bu Fang also sensed a familiar aura in the Soul Demons. It was the aura of the Great Soul Overlords, and there was more than one of them. No wonder Houtu said that this war was about the survival of the Primitive Universe. These Soul Demons did come in great numbers and power.
Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly. ‘These Soul Demons would do anything to get the Soul God’s body parts and revive him. They definitely suffered more casualties. After all, besiegers are usually more likely to die than defenders…’
“Please move on. The Sect Leader is waiting for you,” an expert riding a panther approached and said to Bu Fang with a smile.
Bu Fang glanced at the man and thought he looked familiar, but he did not bother to think deeply. He just gestured to the expert to lead the way.
As they walked along the top of the walls, Bu Fang saw many formidable immortals and deities. There were numerous Immortal-Emperor-level experts here and a good number of Saints of the Great Path, but only a few Chaotic Saints.
Led by Shen Gongbao, the expert who rode the panther, Bu Fang approached the heart of Hangu Pass. The aura that permeated the air grew stronger and stronger. Even though he was still far from there, he could already sense an unusually sharp aura.
When they finally arrived, Bu Fang saw blooming lotus flowers and misty Chaotic Energy on the city walls ahead. A few majestic figures sat cross-legged there, emanating a supreme aura. Bu Fang raised his brows as he looked at them.
At the head of the group was none other than Sect Leader Tongtian, with whom Bu Fang was very familiar, but his aura was countless times more powerful than when he was on Earth. Beside him sat two other almighty experts. One was clad in a Daoist robe and had the air of an immortal, his eyes closed, while the other’s aura was almost as strong as that of the Sect Leader.
‘It seems that these are the almighty experts of the Primitive Universe.’ Bu Fang nodded.
Tongtian’s aura was majestic, calm and steady. Perhaps because his clone and his true self had merged into one that he looked very ethereal and out of this world. As for the other two Daoists, they were studying Bu Fang. They had heard from Tongtian about his unusual talents and abilities. They thought that if he was really the Soul Demon’s nemesis, he could be of great use in this war.
After chatting with Bu Fang for a while, the Sect Leader continued to control his sword array and guard Hangu Pass. With Shen Gongbao leading the way, Bu Fang and the others left them. Then, Houtu took him for a walk on the wall.
She knew that Bu Fang would come. After all, it would be a disaster for all the universes if the Soul God was allowed to gather all the body parts. In Void City, Houtu had seen Bu Fang’s amazing abilities, so his arrival filled her with hope.
“This standoff has been going on for a long time… The Soul Demons seem to be planning something big.”
Standing on the wall, Houtu looked out at the army of Soul Demons outside the city and let out a deep breath. Duchess Nightmare’s face was unsightly as well.
“I think they’re biding their time… The faceless man took the Soul God’s lower body from Void City, so they’re probably waiting for the Soul God to finish fusing with the body part before launching another attack.
“The Soul God is already so terrifying after just fusing with one arm. If he succeeds in getting his lower body, I fear that no one will be able to resist him anymore,” Bu Fang said gravely.
Houtu and Duchess Nightmare’s faces flickered. They naturally thought of this, but what could they do?
“There are too many Soul Demons, and their numbers keep growing. The more we killed, the more they came. There’s no end to killing them!” Houtu said. She felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Bu Fang felt a little headache, too. He was just a chef. He had no idea why there were Soul Demons in this world and why they were so afraid of his dishes. Whenever he thought about it, he felt it was a little funny.
‘What is the feud between the God of Cooking and the Soul God? And, since the Soul God is already recovering, where is the God of Cooking? Why hasn’t there been any news of him?’ Standing on the wall, Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and frowned at the countless bodies below.
Suddenly, the Soul Demon army stirred. With deafening roars, one ancient beast after another leaped into the air and flew toward Hangu Pass. They were ancient beasts from the Soul Demon Universe with the purest bloodline, far more powerful than the ones that attacked the Chaotic Universe.
As their hissing and roaring resounded through the clouds, the entire starry sky began to tremble violently. The next moment, countless Soul Overlords standing on their backs with black spears in hand threw their heads back and roared.
After days of standoff, the Soul Demons finally attacked again! The ancient beasts turned into a torrent as they rushed toward the thick, heavy gates of Hangu Pass. They wanted to break into the city with brute force!
On the wall, an almighty expert struck out. He just threw out his hand, and a large amount of Chaotic Energy immediately materialized into a huge palm, slapping down at those Soul Demons who were charging toward Hangu Pass.
With a loud bang, several ancient beasts were smashed into pieces, while many Soul Demons on their backs had no time to react before they were killed by the huge palm. The power of this strike was indeed terrifying. There was no doubt that the strength of the almighty expert had reached the same level as the strongest Great Soul Overlord.
Bu Fang stared intently at the battlefield. There were too many Soul Demons. Although the blow eliminated many ancient beasts and Soul Demons, there was still a steady stream of Soul Demons rushing toward Hangu Pass. Before long, several ancient beasts came close and slammed their huge bodies hard on the city walls.
Rumble!
The walls shook, and a shower of dust came falling off them.
“How dare you!” an angry voice erupted from inside the pass. Then, another huge palm emerged and swatted at the ancient beasts that were slamming against the walls.
Meanwhile, a silver palm surrounded in a lazy aura flew out from the Soul Demon’s camp. Sloth Great Soul Overlord had struck out at last! This was a move from the strongest Great Soul Overlord!
In the blink of an eye, the two palms collided in midair. The fierce impact force shattered the void, cracked the earth, and crushed countless dead stars into power!
Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath. The exchange of blows between two perfected experts was truly astounding!
On the walls, the guards’ eyes turned red again. They picked up their weapons and prepared to fight back. Houtu also changed into a military outfit. Holding a long sword, she exuded a strong murderous aura.
“Where is your bow?” Bu Fang gave her a puzzled look.
“I returned it. I borrowed it from someone,” replied Houtu. The next moment, with a sweep of her sword, she severed the head of a Soul Demon who had just climbed up the city wall. Black blood sprayed, making the atmosphere even more solemn.
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. ‘Why are there so many Soul Demons here? Has the Soul Demon Universe sent out all its forces?’ He had comprehended the Law of Space, so he knew very well that it would take an enormous amount of energy to transport so many Soul Demons from one universe to another. How did they manage to do that?
He looked up. The next moment, a silver light bloomed from his eyes, and the void before him began to compress. Using the Law of Space and the God of Cooking’s Eye, Bu Fang pulled the scene thousands of miles away into his sight in an instant.
At the rear of the Soul Demon army, seven Hourglasses of Space and Time were slowly rotating, forming a huge space-time rift. Countless Soul Demons were pouring out of it!
