Chapter 1455: Break the Record Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bu Fang faced the array.

Everyone was watching, with many expecting miracles from him. In fact, even if he could not do it, they thought no one else could. On the surface, he was just a Spirit Divine Chef, but his cooking skills were no weaker than the average Earth Divine Chef.

That was the reason he could break the inheritance’s seals previously.

On the high platform, the woman with a silver mask fixed her eyes on Bu Fang. If he failed, she would not hesitate to kill him, even though he had Mu Hongzi’s jade pendant. However, if he succeeded… At the thought of that, the woman’s eyes gleamed even brighter.

…

Mo Pao, the head of the Mo Family, stood quietly and watched coldly at his residence, which had been reduced to ruins. This was a major setback for his family.

It would probably take several months to rebuild the residence. For the Mo Family, it would be a tough time because the other families in the capital would surely laugh at them. Reputation was the most important thing to an aristocratic family. Mo Pao found it hard to accept that he was the laughing stock of others, so he was furious at the person who started it all.

He was a mighty God King, and yet he was insulted like that. To him, it was like a slap in the face. However, the Divine Emperor had decreed that no one was allowed to touch the Divine Chef Temple. That made his pent-up anger almost overflow. Of course, Mo Pao dared not disobey the Divine Emperor’s decree. Since he was not allowed to do it himself, he had to think of other ways.

Mo Hen was dead. The death of a business genius was the greatest loss for the Mo Family. It would even cause the family to fall a few levels at the least. Mo Pao was annoyed by that as well. Since Mo Hen had a talent for business, he should make good use of it instead of thinking about how to make up for his weak talent for cultivation.

‘What a stupid thing he did. See, that not only got him killed, but also caused Mo Cang to be so badly injured that he hasn’t recovered now. Even when he recovers, he might be forever a second-class genius and could no longer reach the peak…’

The more Mo Pao thought about it, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes almost spewed fire. Suddenly, he loosened his fists, and then a calm look came into his eyes.

‘Do you think I can’t deal with you while you’re hiding in the Divine Chef Temple? I have plenty of ways to kill you! I don’t believe you will spend the rest of your life there. As soon as you come out, I will kill you!’

Mo Pao was furious. When a God King flew into a rage, the atmosphere in the whole divine dynasty’s capital seemed to become oppressive. For the last few days, the sky over the city had been overcast as if heavy rain was about to fall.

…

The counter over the seal kept changing. Its number increased faster and faster, shocking all the onlookers.

“This is scary! How strong is his divine sense?!”

“It’s already more than sixty thousand… He’s probably going to break the record!”

“It only gets harder, and the later part is almost impossible to pass… I hope Mister Bu can give us a miracle!”

…

The Divine Chefs all took deep breaths and craned their necks to watch curiously. They were looking forward to the miracle that Bu Fang might bring them. Over the past few days, they had suffered heavy blows. The second seal had injured countless Divine Chefs because anyone who failed to pass the test would be physically wounded.

The woman with a mask looked on indifferently. Suddenly, her eyes focused, and she stared fixedly at Bu Fang.

Rumble!

A burst of air erupted from Bu Fang’s body. His divine sense was rotating at its maximum speed while the whirlpools in his spirit sea kept spinning. With every spin, they improved the power of his divine sense significantly.

Clutching tightly at the black wok in the array, Bu Fang was already soaked with sweat. His arms were red and hot like a chunk of iron in the furnace, and his sweat was turning into wisps of steam.

A rustling sound could be heard. Whenever he tossed the wok, the stardust inside jumped into the air and then fell back down. He repeated the motions at a steady pace.

In fact, the pace was adjusted according to the strength of the divine sense. When the divine sense was weak, the pace would naturally slow down. However, once the pace was slower, it would consume more time, which was not good.

As time passed, the counter over the array kept changing, while Bu Fang’s divine sense grew tenser, almost reaching its breaking point. If he relaxed now, it might collapse completely. Of course, the result had been significant. The number over the array had reached eighty thousand!

…

The imperial palace of the divine dynasty was very majestic. Its buildings were made of jade roof tiles and red bricks, and the ground was paved with white jade. Everywhere was full of artistic sense and a luxurious atmosphere.

Imperial guards in armor were walking in the palace. They were patrolling, guarding the order and safety.

In a side hall, a woman in a luxurious golden phoenix robe was sitting on a chair. She had a beautiful face, but her eyebrows were raised slightly at the ends, making her look a little bit mean.

Several experts in chef robes knelt in front of her. Their auras were very strong, and most of them were mid-grade Gods. They could be considered as Earth Divine Chefs. If Bu Fang were here, he would definitely see a familiar face.

The man was Master Cheng. After he left the Divine Chef Temple, he actually joined the imperial concubine’s chef team. He was here at her behest. The imperial concubine was a woman, but her aura was extremely fearsome. Although it was not as strong as that of a God King, Master Cheng still felt as if he was facing a vast ocean.

“You are all the Earth Divine Chefs of the imperial kitchen. You have noble status, and the Divine Chef Temple should have your records. So it is very easy for you to join it. I need you to sneak into it and kill that little animal for me!”

The imperial concubine’s beautiful face was cold and mean. Since the Divine Emperor had issued a decree, she dared not attack the Divine Chef Temple openly. However, she could do it in secret.

“Your highness, the Divine Chef Temple is heavily guarded by countess experts. Although we’re all mid-grade Gods, we can’t kill that little animal. Besides, the little animal’s cultivation base and fighting strength are… extremely horrible! He is fearsome enough to kill even a high-grade God. If we were to fight him, we will be courting death.”

Master Cheng naturally knew Bu Fang’s terror. He had been punished by Bu Fang many times, and his heart was filled with fear for this young man.

“I have my reason to send you into the Divine Chef Temple. Yes, that little animal’s fighting strength is fearsome, but the last fight had drained him of his strength, so he should not be able to use the trick that can kill a high-grade God anytime soon. I will give you a secret weapon, which can instantly kill any existences below the level of high-grade Gods! Use it when you meet that little animal.

“The weapon is powerful, but it can only be used once. I hope you don’t let me down. If any one of you succeeded in killing that little animal, I’ll make him the chief chef of the imperial kitchen!”

Sitting on her chair, the imperial concubine waved a hand, and immediately, one phoenix feather after another emerged, burning like flames as they fell in front of every Divine Chef.

“This feather contained the power of the ancient phoenix, but it can only be used once… If you use it properly, it can kill any existence below the level of high-grade Gods,” the imperial concubine said.

Master Cheng took the feather and examined it fondly. There was a venomous look in his eyes. He had been doing well in the Divine Chef Temple, enjoying the resources provided to him. However, as soon as Bu Fang arrived, he ran away like a stray dog. He would never forget the resentment!

“You may go now.”

The imperial concubine was lazy to say too much. She just hoped that these chefs could kill the little animal who had murdered her favorite nephew. She had to avenge him! If it weren’t for the Divine Emperor’s decree, she might have ordered Silver Armor to attack the Divine Chef Temple with three thousand imperial guards.

‘That damn old thing… How could he protect the Divine Chef Temple!’

She narrowed her eyes slightly as her terrible aura fluctuated.

…

Rumble!

The whole seal was trembling. The Divine Chefs watched in disbelief, their bodies shaking because of excitement. The counter over the array kept changing, and it had reached ninety thousand. They knew that once the number reached ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, it meant that the test was completed.

At this moment, Bu Fang was very close to finishing the test, but there was little time left. Could he complete the remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine tosses in less than a quarter of an hour?

It was very tough. The further he was into the test, the difficulty of wok tossing increased. It was because the pressure was greater, and the suppression on the divine sense was stronger as well. Therefore, the odds of failure were high. That was why everyone was so excited.

However, the woman with a silver mask was still very calm. She watched quietly. No one knew what she was thinking.

In reality, Bu Fang’s forehead was already covered with sweat. It was incredible. Obviously, his divine sense was under a tremendous amount of pressure at the moment.

The stardust weighed ten thousand kilograms, so it was extremely difficult to toss the wok. The fact that Bu Fang could reach his current level was already extraordinary. Perhaps even an Earth Divine Chef could not do better than him.

Suddenly, the counter over the array stopped at ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight. Everyone’s eyes went wide.

“It’s almost there! Move!”

“Go for it! You’re about to break the record!”

“Don’t give up too soon!”

The Divine Chefs were all cheering for Bu Fang, their emotions drawn by his actions. They could feel that he had reached his limit.

“It turns out that he also has a limit…” Many people realized that, but they were reluctant to accept it. He was almost there…

The woman’s eyes were indifferent. She raised her jade-like palm, and terrible divine power surged in it. Once Bu Fang failed, she would definitely kill him with a thunderous move. Her anger at Mu Hongzi would be directed at this guy.

Suddenly, her pupils constricted, and her heart skipped a beat. She saw the number on the counter jump as if Bu Fang had broken through the last barrier. He completed the last toss!

Rumble!

The whole Divine Chef Temple began to shake at this moment. Even then, the second seal of the inheritance shattered. The broken array turned into a thousand shafts of golden light and rushed into Bu Fang’s head, making his eyes flash with golden light.

His mental force, which was at the end of its tether, was wrapped by a warm sensation as if it was being soaked in a nutrient solution. His divine sense devoured the nutrient hungrily, while its strength kept growing stronger and stronger.

“He made it?!”

The final change surprised the onlookers. Everyone’s face was full of shock. Then, some recovered their wits and burst into wild joy. The second seal, which had daunted countless people, was broken!

The masked woman’s raised hand slowly lowered, and she exhaled softly. She seemed to have made an important decision as a hint of a smile came over her face under the mask. She raised her hand again, but this time, she grabbed her silver mask and gently removed it, revealing her fair chin and a pair of smiling red lips…
