Chapter 1502: A Mouthful of Intoxication

The emissary group of the Titan Divine Dynasty was wiped out. Not many people knew about the news, but it caused a minor commotion in the distant Titan Divine Dynasty.

Rumble!

Terrible air waves were blowing as a towering figure slowly walked past mountains and rivers. It was a giant of immense height with strange barbaric glyphs drawn all over the body.

Very soon, the figure arrived in front of a cluster of stone palaces. It shrank, landed on the broad street before the palaces, and ran into them.

A gentle-looking young man was reading a scroll over the palace.

“Your Majesty… The life lamps of the emissary group are extinguished!”

The visitor’s aura was powerful, and as soon as he spoke, his booming voice shook the whole palace and caused dust to fall off from the roof.

“Calm down, calm down… You need to cultivate your mind and character, understand?” the Titan Divine Dynasty Emperor said coolly.

“This is not the time for that! Of the nearly one hundred emissaries, everyone’s life lamp is extinguished save Tai Hang’s! Even Tai Fei’s lamp is no longer lit!” the visitor growled again. He simply couldn’t calm down.

“Don’t panic… Tai Hang should count himself lucky to stay alive after attacking the Xiayi Divine Emperor. He is now being kept in prison, and they want me to ransom him myself,” the Divine Emperor said calmly. He moved his head from side to side as he stared at the scroll in his hand, and that gave him a Buddha-like air.

“Your son, Tai Fei’s life lamp is… extinguished! Do you understand what I said at all?!” The expert had black lines on his forehead.

The Titan Divine Emperor finally frowned. He turned to look at the expert. “What did you say, Tai Shan?”

The expert, Tai Shan, was somewhat speechless about the Titan Divine Emperor’s slow reaction. He shook his hand. Barbaric glyphs flashed over his palm, and then an image emerged. In the image, one flickering life lamp after another went out in an instant, and then the souls in them howled and dissipated…

“The souls dissipated… The life lamps went out…”

Squinting, the Titan Divine Emperor put away the scroll. His air of a scholar vanished, and a savage monster seemed to have woken up in him!

“Tai Fei is my proud son, and yet he’s dead now?! I have to get to the bottom of this! If this is truly the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s work, I’ll turn it into a ruin!” the Divine Emperor roared.

Tai Shan nodded. ‘Now this is the correct response,’ he thought, narrowing his eyes. He was also furious when he learned that their emissary group was wiped out in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty.

“Tai Shan, I want you to go to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty immediately and demand an answer from the Xiayi Divine Emperor! I’ve nothing to say about him imprisoning Tai Hang, but killing our emissaries and my son… I’ll not let this matter rest easily! Does he think my three-million-strong Titan Army is a mere decoration?!”

Rumble!

The Titan Divine Emperor was boiling with rage. His aura exploded out, causing the whole palace to tremble violently.

Tai Shan took the order and bolted out of the palace. Then, he turned back into a giant and began running wildly across the earth…

…

They soon reached the assembly point in the ancient Heavengod’s relic. Bu Fang saw the city from a distance. It stretched hundreds of miles with towering walls, and experts from various powers could be seen walking on top of them.

Tai Fei followed at Bu Fang’s side with a dull, hopeless look on his face. Around his neck was a string of fragrant biscuits, which was made by Bu Fang to help him cure his anorexia.

His anorexia was so serious that even Bu Fang was struggling. No matter what delicacy was placed in front of him, he didn’t bat an eye, and he showed no appetite at all.

This was the first time Bu Fang had encountered such a peculiar condition. On their way here, he had tried his best to let Tai Fei feel the charm of delicious food. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful after all.

“These biscuits are added with a spice I specially made, which can intensify the fragrance of food to the greatest extent. By hanging them around your neck for forty-nine days, it can definitely cure your anorexia!” Bu Fang said seriously to Tai Fei.

At first, Tai Fei refused. However, he could not resist Bu Fang and eventually chose to accept.

Tai Fei saw the city, and he narrowed his eyes. He could sense the terrifying presences in it.

In fact, the top experts of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty were all staying in the ancient Heavengod’s relic. High-grade God Kings rarely appeared in the capital of the divine dynasty, and this was why Black and White were able to cause trouble in the capital.

When Bu Fang came before the city, the main gates swung open immediately. No one asked him any questions because those who came here were all experts of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty.

Foxy was lying on Bu Fang’s shoulder with her tails wagging constantly and her big eyes darting from side to side.

As soon as Tai Fei, with the string of biscuits around his neck, stepped into the city, he said impatiently to Bu Fang, “Since we have arrived at the assembly point, let’s part ways here…”

He could not wait to get rid of Bu Fang. ‘I was really stupid to approach this fellow in the first place…’ he thought. ‘This human being is as stinky and hard as the rock in a latrine pit. I can’t kill him, and yet he kept forcing me to eat those disgusting human food! The next time I meet him, I’ll twist his head off!’

“You want to leave already? Then you have to remember that the biscuits around your neck cannot be removed. You have to carry them for forty-nine days,” Bu Fang reminded him seriously.

People with anorexia need to be treated with care and compassion. After all, it was such a painful ordeal not to be able to enjoy the pleasures that come with good food.

Tai Fei turned and left.

Bu Fang’s face gradually became grave as he watched him leave, while Foxy put her arms around his head and squeaked.

“I know. That guy is not normal from the beginning…” Bu Fang stroked the little fox’s head and said lightly.

From the moment he laid his eyes on Tai Fei, he already felt an uneasiness that he could not explain. Then, when the true-form of his divine sense opened its eyes in his spirit sea, he felt a wave of disgust from deep inside. He had only felt that from the terrible creature in the Great Netherworld.

After that, when he saw those black balls, he knew that the emissary group must have been wiped out by that same creature. And Tai Fei was behaving strangely. If it wasn’t for that uneasy feeling keeping him from making a move rashly, he probably would have smashed Tai Fei with the Black Turtle Constellation Wok the moment they met.

In the end, he brought Tai Fei to the assembly point, hoping that the high-grade God Kings here would be able to deal with him.

When Tai Fei came around a corner, his face suddenly became grim and twisted. He yanked the string of biscuits off from his neck and threw them to the ground.

“Damn human… I won’t forget you! Once my cultivation base recovers, I will devour all your blood and flesh!”

Blerghh…

He jammed a few fingers into his mouth to force himself to throw out all the food in his stomach. It was only after a long time that he left gloomily. He was going to hibernate, and when his cultivation base was restored, he would turn this place into an ocean of his food!

…

The assembly point was considered a small city. It was not as large as the capital as it was just a temporary gathering place. The Xiayi experts didn’t build it as a place to live, but a resting site for those who came here to explore the relic.

Though a small city, it was guarded by high-grade God Kings. After all, there were some fearsome monsters in the relic that were very aggressive toward intruders.

Bu Fang walked slowly in the city. He did not meet anyone he knew here, such as Luo Sanniang and Hu Lu, who had come here before him. After all, the relic was a huge place, so the chances of bumping into someone he knew were quite low.

According to the System’s task requirements, Bu Fang needed to find the site where the ancient Heavengod had fallen, as that was the only place where the ancient Heavengod’s soul remained. Only the soul contained the Power of Law.

He spent some time walking around within the assembly point. It was a lively place and considered a city of adventurers. The strength of the experts here varied widely. There were low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade Gods, as well as God Kings. However, most of them were just Gods.

These Gods all put down their usual proud attitude and kept yelling loudly, looking for people to join them in exploring the relic. It was a very comical situation, but it was happening for real. The relic was full of danger, and a person’s ability was limited after all. So, if one could form a team to explore it together, it would be much easier to find something good.

Bu Fang had thought about that and decided that it was not right for him to run aimlessly in the relic. Although Foxy said she knew the site where the ancient Heavengod had fallen, she had not been able to take him there. So, he didn’t quite believe her.

Therefore, he made up his mind. He went over to a God yelling in the distance, who was a mid-grade God in a combat suit.

“A Demigod?” The mid-grade God narrowed his eyes slightly.

Bu Fang nodded and said, “I would like to ask how to travel to the fallen place of the ancient Heavengod.”

“The fallen place of the ancient Heavengod? Are you out of your mind? Only God Kings would dare go to that place!”

The mid-grade God rolled his eyes when he heard Bu Fang’s question. As someone who had been exploring the relic for a long time, he knew very well which place was dangerous and which was safe. Adventurers like them who lived on the edge of a knife had a very keen sense of danger.

“I’m just asking,” Bu Fang said with a straight face.

“If you look down from the sky, you will find that the relic is shaped like a man. Some said the whole relic is the corpse of an ancient Heavengod, but it’s not… In fact, at least three ancient Heavengods had fallen in this relic.”

The mid-grade God rubbed his hands and glanced around. When he saw that no one wanted to join his team now, he began to chat with Bu Fang and told him some common knowledge of the relic.

“So we divide the relic into three areas, that is, the safe area, the dangerous area, and the death area…

“Three thousand miles around this assembly point is a safe area. If you travel further up into the upper body, you will enter the dangerous area. The head is where the death area lies… It is said that the chances of finding Heavengod’s bones and Heavengod’s blood are the highest there. So, even though it’s the death area, it’s a land of treasures.”

After he had finished, the mid-grade God took out a blade of grass, rolled it into a cylinder, held it between his lips, lit it with fire, and began smoking. He appeared like a veteran adventurer.

“This is soul-crunching grass, a unique plant that is abundant in the relic. You will be intoxicated with just one puff. Do you want one, little brother? I can sell you one for ten source stones…” said the mid-grade God.

Bu Fang had obtained the information he needed. He glanced at the soul-crunching grass and the mid-grade God, twitched the corner of his mouth, and shook his hand. A spicy strip appeared in his hand, then he held it between his lips like Er Ha and took a bite of it. Instantly, a spicy taste spread in his mouth, and that was what he called real intoxication.

“If I may be so bold to ask, which direction should I go if I want to go to the head area?” Bu Fang asked.

The mid-grade God froze in an instant. ‘Is this Demigod stupid or something? A mere Demigod like him also wants to go to the head area? That’s the playground of God Kings! Anyone who is weaker will only get himself killed there!’

Bu Fang shook his head when he realized that the mid-grade God wouldn’t tell him. He glanced around, then turned and walked toward a team recruited by a low-grade God King in the distance.

A disdainful look came over the mid-grade God’s face. ‘A mere Demigod also wants to join such a team? How laughable!’

However, the eyes of this God suddenly widened in the next moment.
