Black Turtle’s words reverberated like a bell beside Bu Fang’s ears, which gave him pause as he watched the flames. A puzzled look came into his eyes as though he was pondering the meaning of those words.‘Use the divine power as a guide to condense a divine flame? Does Black Turtle mean I need to use a God of Cooking’s divine power liquid drop and fuse it with the flames?’


  A divine power liquid drop was extremely precious. Previously, the Artifact Spirits had expressed their pain when they saw Bu Fang waste a drop. He did not expect that Black Turtle would urge him to waste another drop this time. This showed the seriousness of the matter.

  Because he trusted Black Turtle, Bu Fang did not hesitate too long. His spirit sea began to churn, then a divine power liquid drop shot out of him and rushed into the white flame, which was devouring all the other flames. The next moment, the white flame began to boil.

  As soon as the liquid drop entered the flame, it turned into tiny particles and spread. Then, as the flame began to burn them, they turned into steam and filled the flame like a spiderweb.

  The white flame soon began to change, shifting between a myriad of colors. Finally, it slowly disappeared, gradually losing all colors and turning transparent.

  An invisible flame?

  Even Bu Fang was somewhat struck dumb. He looked at his empty palm, staring at the flame that could not be seen by naked eyes. In fact, he could feel the heat hovering over his palm.

  After merging with the flames that belonged to all the Nether Chefs and fusing with one divine power liquid drop, Bu Fang’s flame seemed to have evolved. As for why it lost its color and turned transparent, he suspected that it should be related to the divine power liquid drop.

  The invisible flame was very mysterious. Bu Fang unleashed his divine will, but he could not sense it at all. It was as if there was nothing in his palm. A flame undetectable by divine will was simply nature-defying, but then it was a flame evolved out of a divine power liquid drop, so naturally, it was extraordinary.

  Across from Bu Fang, Ah Zhuang hovered in midair with a scornful smile on his lips. Everything around them was enveloped by his God’s Sphere, so when he saw that the flame in Bu Fang’s hand had gradually disappeared, he found it somewhat funny.

  He had no idea how that happened, but he reckoned that Bu Fang must have done something beyond his ability, which caused the flame to scatter. Even his flame of Law might not be able to withstand devouring so many flames at once, not to mention Bu Fang’s Immortal flame.

  However, that was not what Ah Zhuang cared about. Whether the flame disappeared or not, as long as Bu Fang chose to fight him in a Chef’s Challenge, it didn’t matter anymore. When Bu Fang chose the Chef’s Challenge, he had chosen death. There was a price to pay when fighting him, the God of Chef’s Challenge, and the price was life and everything that belonged to Bu Fang!

  Bu Fang hovered in midair and stared blankly at his empty hand. Although he could not see it, he could feel a flame burning there, and it was extremely hot. The temperature was far greater than the previous Immortal flame. He could not see it, but he could feel it, and it was easier to control than the white flame.

  ‘This is amazing. Black Turtle said it’s a divine flame…… Is this a flame of the God Realm?’


  Bu Fang was full of questions. He had just entered his spirit sea and was about to ask when Black Turtle spoke.

  “Little Host, the flame condensed with the God of Cooking’s divine power as the guide is a divine flame. It needs to merge with Laws to become stronger. The current divine flame is as pure as a white lotus. Little Host needs to find and merge Laws with it…… The more Laws it merged with, the stronger its power……”


  A divine flame that merged with Laws?

  Bu Fang’s expression grew extremely strange.

  “Don’t ask me why I know this…… As you live longer, you see more things……” After saying that, Black Turtle closed his eyes and did not say anything again.

  Bu Fang did not know whether to cry or laugh. ‘Is Black Turtle infected by White Tiger? Why is he so cocky?’ he thought.

  In any case, Bu Fang believed Black Turtle. If this were said by Divine Dragon, he might have hesitated. Black Turtle had always been prudent, so Bu Fang chose to believe him.

  He moved his fingers, and the invisible flame danced like a spirit. Others could not see and feel it, but Bu Fang could somehow feel it. With a thought, the invisible flame wrapped around his body.

  Bu Fang hovered in midair and glanced indifferently at Ah Zhuang in the distance.

  Although the power of the invisible divine flame was peerless, it was born after merging with a myriad of flames, and these flames all contained the resentment of the Nether Chef Clan. As Ah Zhuang said, once Bu Fang accepted the flames, he accepted the karma as well, and he could not ignore it. Therefore, he must take part in the Chef’s Challenge.

  Bu Fang slowly descended and landed on the ground. With his feet on the solid ground, he felt a sense of security. He glanced around and saw that an invisible force had enveloped the surroundings, isolating him from everything else in the world.

  “This is the God’s Sphere. You will definitely lose the Chef’s Challenge in here……” Ah Zhuang smiled confidently, and the way he looked at Bu Fang was like looking at prey. “Do you know what God I am?” he asked.

  Bu Fang shook his head. He really did not know.

  “I am the God of Chef’s Challenge, and I am in charge of the rules of Chef’s Challenges…… I’m the God the Nether Chef Clan worshiped, but they have betrayed me. That’s why I exterminated them,” Ah Zhuang said with a playful tone. “You have chosen to fight the God of Chef’s Challenge in a Chef’s Challenge. Do you think you can survive this?”


  Bu Fang nodded. At last, he came to the truth of the Nether Chef Clan’s extermination. After learning that, he felt somewhat pity for the Nether Chefs. It was a great sorrow for them to worship such a God. ‘Well, let me make an end to your resentment,’ he thought as his face gradually grew cold and hard.

  “If you want a Chef’s Challenge, so be it…… So what if you are a God? A Chef’s Challenge is all about cooking skills…… You can’t violate the rules even if you are a God,” Bu Fang said.

  Rules were Laws. Gods comprehended Laws, but they also had to obey the Laws. This was the reason why Bu Fang was so calm. For him, any problem that could be solved with a dish was not a problem at all.

  “You are very arrogant…… It seems you are very confident in your power. I like your confidence…… and I admire it.” Ah Zhuang grinned. The next moment, he snapped his fingers.

  Buzz……

  A Wheel of Law emerged in the sky, glowing brightly. It looked somewhat similar to the one that appeared when Lord Dog was transcending his tribulation, but its power was much weaker. Even so, the spinning Power of the Law inside still made the hair of those looking at it stand.

  “This is a Wheel of Law, and it contains the pure Law of Chef’s Challenge…… It will be our witness. When the Chef’s Challenge begins, our life and death will be controlled by it,” Ah Zhuang said.

  He looked with some fascination at the Wheel, which began to slowly spin. Soon, Runes of Laws spread out of it and shot toward him and Bu Fang, revolving around them.

  “Now, all our words and moves are monitored by the Wheel of Law. The Chef’s Challenge…… begins,” Ah Zhuang said.

  “The rules of the Chef’s Challenge are very simple. Both of us will cook a dish and let the Wheel of Law judge. The Wheel will decide who wins the challenge. The winner will live, and the loser will…… die.”


  Ah Zhuang narrowed his eyes and stared at Bu Fang greedily. Then, he laughed and continued, “Oh, I forget to tell you one thing. This body doesn’t belong to me, so even if I lose, only this body will be destroyed, and I will be perfectly fine…… Of course, I won’t lose the challenge. Do you find this unfair?”


  He burst out laughing, his voice ringing through heaven and earth.

  The faces of all the people around them changed, and they cursed in their minds. ‘How can a God be so shameless?!’


  Lord Dog grunted when he heard that, and he raised his paw. The terrible power of the Law of Time swirled around it, causing the void to keep crumbling. He wished he could throw out his paw now, but then he thought of what Di Ting said and gave up the idea.

  Bu Fang was very calm. He wasn’t affected by Ah Zhuang’s laugh. A psychological tactic? It was useless to him. He could sense the wariness in Ah Zhuang. It appeared that this guy knew about his cooking standard.

  Since Ah Zhuang was hungry for Bu Fang’s secrets and power, he naturally wouldn’t underestimate Bu Fang. What he did was to create an illusion to influence Bu Fang’s mind.

  “Let’s begin,” Bu Fang said lightly in a calm voice.

  Ah Zhuang’s laugh came to an abrupt stop, then the look on his face turned cold. “Fine.”


  As his voice rang out, everyone held their breaths and fixed their eyes at the Chef’s Challenge in the sky. A battle between chefs was no less exciting than any other battles.

  Rumble!

  The Wheel of Law spun, and the void under it cracked into a rift. Inside, deities were drifting and fairies were roaming. It was like a brand new world. Suddenly, food ingredients floated out of it. They were the ingredients for the Chef’s Challenge.

  Soon, all kinds of ingredients drifted out of the rift, hovering in the sky. There were chunks of meat emanating powerful spiritual energy, vegetables glowing with colorful light, and even spirit beast eggs that rumbled like a waterfall. The crowd was dazzled by so many different ingredients. Most importantly, they were all top-grade ingredients, and many were extremely rare or even nonexistent in the Great Netherworld.

  Ah Zhuang grinned and waved a hand. Immediately, a chunk of meat hovered among the myriad ingredients drifting toward him. Before long, it was in front of him.

  “Do you know what meat this is?” Ah Zhuang asked as he reached out a hand and gently stroked the meat. It was as though he had poured in all his emotions in this caress.

  Bu Fang glanced at the meat. A serious look came into his eyes. It was the best meat he had ever seen, which was much better than the Three-claw True Dragon meat!

  “This is the leg of a Silver-winged Roc…… and its quality is on par with the Five-claw Golden Dragon meat. The Rocs are a formidable species in the Chaotic Universe, and among them, Silver-winged Rocs and Gold-winged Rocs are even rarer. The cuisine cooked with this meat will certainly shake heaven and earth……” Ah Zhuang murmured as he stroked the meat with a gentle look in his eyes.

  This was the Chef’s Challenge he took most seriously. He dared not to be careless. After all, even he was afraid of the secret in Bu Fang’s body.

  “The meat of a Silver-winged Roc……”


  The crowd was shocked and exploded into an uproar! They had never heard about Rocs, let alone seen its meat! However, since its quality was on par with the Five-claw Golden Dragon meat, it must be amazing.

  “Owner Bu’s in danger!”


  “What ingredient will Owner Bu choose to answer that?!”


  The crowd was eager to know.

  Bu Fang looked up at the myriad of food ingredients in the sky. The auras emanating from these top-grade ingredients had turned the sky colorful. He ran his eyes over them, searching for the ingredient he needed, one that could counter the Roc meat.

  Suddenly, he focused his eyes and fixed at one of the ingredients, then he beckoned at it.

  Before long, fresh prawns, glittering and translucent like crystals, came and hovered around him.
