Chapter 1552: Stinky Chef, I Found You!

A faint wisp of fire slowly burned on the wick in a swaying life lamp, but it went out abruptly. It was as if Bu Fang had blown it out with a puff of air. His face stiffened, and he felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, the atmosphere became very quiet…

‘Are life lamps so… weak? This is a fake one, right?’

The crown prince’s eyes slowly widened. He looked at Bu Fang, then at the life lamp, then opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

“Relax, I’ll light it up again…” Bu Fang said after thinking about it. He then raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

A silver Divine flame shot out and drifted up to the Divine Emperor’s life lamp, trying to reignite it. However, no matter how the Divine flame burned, the lamp remained extinguished.

Bu Fang’s face began to go a little dark. Could he not get rid of this blame this time?

“The life lamp has gone out… and that means… the Divine Emperor has fallen…”

The crown prince was a little dumbfounded. He suddenly felt a little cold. Was this still the Titan Divine Dynasty he was once familiar with? The whole dynasty had turned into a horrible hell on earth, becoming a paradise of the Soul Demons…

An aura of despair pervaded his heart, making it very difficult for him to even breathe.

“You… My deepest condolences.” After thinking about it, Bu Fang decided that he should comfort the crown prince. He thought that the extinguishing of the life lamp still had something to do with him because he had exhaled that breath.

Of the thousands of life lamps in the long corridor, only a few scattered ones were still burning, but even they were going out. These were the life lamps of the clan geniuses. As the Keeper of the Divine Temple had said before, these geniuses were nothing but the pigs they raised. Now, these pigs were all being slaughtered.

When he thought of how long he had lived among the Soul Demons, the crown prince shuddered with fear.

Bu Fang followed the crown prince as the latter kept walking and soon came to the middle of the pagoda. The space inside was enormous. Obviously, someone had used the Law of Space when constructing it, giving it a feature similar to that of ‘mountain in a seed.’

Boom!

Suddenly, Bu Fang and the crown prince, standing in the middle of the pagoda, felt the whole building shake. A pang of panic went through the crown prince’s heart.

“What’s happening?!”

“Someone must be attacking the pagoda,” Bu Fang said.

The crown prince’s face was as pale as death. Sure enough, he knew that the Divine Temple would not be able to resist the Soul Demons for long. He would die soon, too, but he did not want to die. He was the Titan Divine Dynasty’s only hope now. He wanted to get out alive.

The crown prince put his hands on his head. He was known as a gifted genius, but he had never felt so hopeless.

‘I want to live… I want to inherit the glory of the Titans…’ he thought to himself, and tears began to flow uncontrollably from his eyes. After suffering such a drastic change in life, it was already good that he did not break down completely.

Bu Fang took a deep breath and wanted to exhale. However, when he was halfway through exhaling, he suddenly thought of the Divine Emperor’s life lamp that had been extinguished. He frowned and hastily raised his hand to cover his mouth.

“Condolences… You have to stay strong and live on,” Bu Fang said. Then, he raised his head and glanced around.

The System said the Titan’s Heart could be found in the Divine Temple. He thought it must be in this pagoda. ‘But where is it?’ he thought, frowning.

“That’s right… I want to live! I must live… I will destroy all the Soul Demons! I want to avenge all the people of the Titan Divine Dynasty! This is my mission! Because… I am the crown prince!”

The crown prince looked up, his eyes bloodshot.

“You’re the best,” Bu Fang said, nodding.

“So… I want to live…” The crown prince looked at Bu Fang. His hopeful gaze made Bu Fang unable to refuse. “I know you can save me…”

“There is definitely a way, but you need to tell me where the Titan’s Heart is,” Bu Fang said after thinking about it.

Only by finding the Titan’s Heart could Bu Fang be considered to have completed the task, and then they would have a chance to get out of here.

The Titan’s Heart? The crown prince froze for a moment. Then, his pupils constricted. Yes, he needed to get the Titan’s Heart! It was the symbol of the Titan Divine Dynasty and must not fall into the hands of the Soul Demon!

“On the top floor! The Titan’s Heart… is on the top floor!” said the crown prince as he started running frantically toward the top floor of the pagoda.

The steps of the pagoda spiraled upward and had no handrails. Bu Fang and the crown prince ran up at full speed, not knowing how many steps they were going to take.

Boom!

The whole pagoda was shaking violently as it was being violently attacked, and the crown prince’s heart shook with every tremble.

…

The buildings around the Divine Temple had been completely reduced to ruins. A ten-thousand-foot-tall giant fell from the sky, crashing a large cluster of buildings with every step. This was the Titan Divine Emperor. The barbaric glyphs on his skin constantly exuded a mystical aura as he kept slapping the pagoda with his huge palms.

Soul Thirteen was laughing maniacally. He could feel the Titan Divine Emperor’s will weakening, like the flame of a candle that was about to go out at any moment. This filled him with great joy.

‘It’s about to happen! It’s almost here! I’m about to step into the Soul Overlord realm!’

He grabbed the pagoda with one hand and tried to pull it up from the ground like a scallion…

Rumble…

The pagoda was constantly shaking and breaking. Restrictive spells and arrays flickered all around it to protect it from being destroyed. Meanwhile, countless Soul Demons were watching feverishly around the giant that was the Titan Divine Emperor.

A crackling sound filled the air as the walls of the pagoda were cracking and falling apart. Suddenly, the Titan Divine Emperor bent down and peered into the pagoda with eyes that were as large as a house. Through the crack, he saw two figures running fast up the steps.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a gruesome smile. “Hehe… Found you!”

…

In the pagoda, Bu Fang’s brows furrowed. The restrictive spells and arrays around them were crumbling as the people outside were destroying them with great force. Suddenly, he heard a crackling sound. When he turned around, he saw a huge crack appear on the wall, and powerful airflow kept spewing into the building through it.

At this moment, the space array in the tower was breaking and collapsing. Without hesitation, the crown prince and Bu Fang increased their speed and raced toward the top.

Suddenly, Bu Fang felt a chill. It was as if he were being targeted by a ferocious beast. He looked over his shoulder at the crack. There, a pair of huge eyes peered through it, filled with a playful and greedy look…

“Found you!”

Rumble!

The whole pagoda trembled violently.

“What’s that?” The crown prince’s body and mind were shaking at the same time.

“A Soul Demon,” Bu Fang said.

Even though they were in a moment of crisis, the crown prince could not help but want to roll his eyes. Of course he knew it was a Soul Demon!

“Oh… That should be the Soul Demon who had possessed the Divine Emperor’s body,” Bu Fang analyzed.

The Soul Demon who possessed the Divine Emperor’s body?! The crown prince jerked his head and met Soul Thirteen’s gaze, his eyes full of anger!

“You damned Soul Demon! How dare you kill my father! I won’t let you off…”

However, the crown prince had just finished roaring when the massive figure let out a hiss at the crack, causing the entire pagoda to tremble violently! That startled the crown prince!

“We’re almost at the top!” Bu Fang cried out.

They ran as fast as they could and seemed to have turned into two streams of light. The steps were crumbling beneath their feet. As their speed exploded, they soon saw a room that was glowing on the top floor.

“That’s where the Titan’s Heart is!” the crow prince cried out. “But I’ve never seen what it looks like either…”

Bu Fang nodded. Then, without looking back, they rushed into the glowing door.

Inside the room was a separate space. It was vast and full of twinkling stars and a flowing river of stars.

“Where is the Titan’s Heart?” Bu Fang asked, somewhat confused.

The crown prince was also dumbfounded. How did he know where the Titan’s Heart was? He had never been here before! “Father knows where it is… I don’t know…” He was almost crying. Was there really no more hope for them?

The independent space on the top floor did not remain stable for long. With a boom, the whole curtain of stars began to shake violently as if it was about to be torn apart. Soon, the starry sky cracked open, and in that huge rift, a pair of scarlet eyes locked onto them like a hunter would eye at his prey!

“You can’t run away from me…”

An icy cold voice seemed to come from the distant sky, leaving them with chills all over their bodies.

As a huge rift was torn open, the curtain of stars faded away in an instant and revealed what was hidden beneath it.

“Oh?” Bu Fang and the crown prince were both slightly stunned as they looked at a certain spot in the space. There, countless threads that looked like long, winding dragons covered the entire area.

“This should be the legendary Titan’s Heart, right?”

Bu Fang looked at the crown prince with a slightly strange expression. ‘No wonder the System said I would understand once I got here, and no wonder there is a temporary task for me to acquire the Titan’s Heart… It turns out this Titan’s Heart is actually a… ginseng plant!’

The ginseng was covered with strange markings that made it look very mysterious.

The crown prince was stunned, and then he swallowed. “It might be…” He was also a little uncertain because he also did not know that the Titan’s Heart was actually a ginseng plant. Was it edible?

Rumble…

The rift was getting bigger and bigger. The pair of huge eyes were filled with fierce hostility. Apparently, Soul Thirteen also saw the Titan’s Heart. He inserted his fingers into the rift and pried it larger and larger. It looked as if the pagoda would soon be torn apart…

“What should we do now?” The crown prince panicked. “Can the Titan’s Heart save the Titan Divine Dynasty?” He looked at Bu Fang as if he was grasping for the last straw that would save his life.

“It can save you,” Bu Fang said after thinking for a while.

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrible wave came from all directions with a loud bang. At the same time, the top of the pagoda was lifted off, while all the restrictive spells and arrays fell apart.

A huge figure was staring down at Bu Fang with scarlet eyes.

“Stinky chef… I’ve found you at last!”
