Chapter 1587: The End of Soul Thirteen

“You are very naughty… How dare you swallow me?” A faint voice rang out from the Gluttony Soul Overlord’s belly, which soon echoed throughout the entire starry sky.

That stunned everyone.

“Bu Fang is still alive? The savage monster didn’t kill him?”

The Soul Overlord’s tongue froze before Nethery as if it had turned into stone. A puzzled look came over his face, but in the next instant, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Thump!

A muffled noise rang out from his stomach as if something was being hit, and then he howled. In the eyes of all, his belly kept bulging in an irregular shape, as if someone was about to burst out of it.

‘It’s Mister Bu! It definitely is Mister Bu!’ A hopeful look came into the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s eyes. Just when he thought Bu Fang was killed and everything was about to come to an end, Bu Fang actually created another miracle for him. ‘Again and again, this amazing chef is… breaking everyone’s perceptions!’

The Gluttony Soul Overlord kept squirming his body in midair. Perhaps even he himself had no idea that his weak points were inside his body. He was so proud that he had swallowed Bu Fang, but little did he know that he had hastened his death, especially when Bu Fang already had the strength to deal with him after being possessed by the Qilin.

Opening his mouth wide, the Soul Overlord spat out a glob of black liquid. The liquid splashed across the starry sky, but the guy he had just swallowed was nowhere to be seen.

The Soul Overlord was a little panicked. He reached a hand into his mouth, trying to dig the human out. His sharp claws went deep down his stomach, but no matter how he dug, he could get nothing.

Bang!

His back bulged once again, and this time, tiny lines began to spread all over his skin. That sent a shudder through the Soul Overlord. He kept roaring and hissing, struggling in midair as he sped across the starry sky and slamming through one star after another. For a moment, the entire starry sky was in chaos.

Down below, all the Soul Demons were struck dumb. They felt chills run down their backs suddenly. Many of them started to wonder if the Gluttony Soul Overlord was about to die. If that happened, none of them would be able to leave here alive, and the beautiful worlds that they had captured would have to return to the humans.

This, to them, was unimaginable! Humans were delicious food to them, and once the Soul Overlord failed, the food would leave them. It was a pain that could not be described with words.

Rumble!

The Gluttony Soul Overlord smashed hard onto a dead star, cracking it further. Lying on the ground, he no longer moved. The next moment, a crackling sound could be heard coming from inside his body, then his back burst apart with a boom. His weak spot was attacked from inside by Bu Fang and then forcefully torn to shreds!

As a plume of black sinful energy gushed out of his body, the peerless savage monster became listless suddenly, shrinking like a leaking balloon. His ferocity, his rage, and his arrogance… all vanished at this moment.

With a ripping sound, his back cracked, then a figure slowly walked out through it. Bu Fang was as clean as before he entered the monster’s stomach. His purple hair fluttered in the wind, his eyes still had an evil look to them, and the corners of his lips curled upward slightly.

The Gluttony Soul Overlord had made the biggest mistake by swallowing Bu Fang. His aura was extremely weak now. Since his weak spot was broken, it had affected his true form.

He could reproduce his body with just a drop of blood even when it was completely crushed, but with his weak spot broken through, his soul was hurt, and he could no longer do that.

It was as if the connection between this body and his true form, which was also his soul, had been severed. It did not feel good at all.

The Gluttony Soul Overlord opened his mouth and was about to roar again when purple-haired Bu Fang raised a hand and knocked him on the head, smashing him to the ground.

“Had it not been because Little Host told me that he wants your meat, I would have crushed you to pulps with my ladle.” Purple-haired Bu Fang cast a sidelong glance at the savage monster, who had fallen to the ground and was not moving at all. At that moment, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, a stream of black smoke spread from the Gluttony Soul Overlord’s body, then converged into a figure. It was Soul Thirteen’s true form, which was hazy like smoke and had no fixed shape.

Even though its face was obscured, purple-haired Bu Fang could sense that this was Soul Thirteen’s true form!

‘Finally, I’ve forced this fellow’s true form to show up!’ He grinned. Suddenly, his purple hair turned black again.

Roar!

From behind Bu Fang, a great monster rushed up into the sky. It was a purple Qilin with a towering figure filled with a terrible and oppressive aura…

Soul Thirteen’s true form had regained his consciousness after detaching from the Gluttony Soul Overlord’s flesh. He glanced around stupidly, and what he saw were the Qilin’s huge eyes and Bu Fang’s expressionless face. Around him were the broken star and shattered starry sky, while human experts and Soul Demons were all looking up at him with their mouths open.

Then, his heart sank as he saw his lifeless body. ‘Dammit! Have I failed? But… how’s this possible? I’ve exposed the body I’ve hidden, and it’s supposed to destroy and swallow everything!’

Soul Thirteen had been prepared for the day when his consciousness woke up, but he did not expect it to come so fast. He never thought he would be left with just his true form…

The Qilin sniffed, then opened his mouth, from which saliva trickled down and dripped on the ground.

Although the saliva was invisible, Bu Fang could not help but glance at the great beast behind him and said, “Hey, boss, can you take care of your image? You will scare him with that look…”

The Qilin smacked his mouth and burst out laughing. The familiar demonic laughter made Bu Fang twitch the corner of his mouth.

Soul Thirteen sensed an aura of death from the Qilin—that was the natural reaction of a prey. He glanced deeply at Bu Fang, then turned to flee without hesitation.

As long as his true form remained, he could always possess someone else, and when the time came, he would be a mighty Soul Overlord once again. So, he was not willing to fall here.

As a Soul Overlord, he did not think Bu Fang could stop him from fleeing. Bizarre as he was, the chef was only a God Emperor and not a Heavengod, so Soul Thirteen thought his chances of escaping were high. Yes, he was no match for Bu Fang, and if he failed to run away, he would be a complete loser…

As black sinful energy spread from him, he turned and sped toward the depths of the starry sky without the slightest hesitation.

“Trying to run away?” The Qilin narrowed his eyes. With drool still trickling down from his mouth, he raised a hoof and stomped it on the void. The hoof seemed to poke through the void, and when it reappeared, it was already above Soul Thirteen and struck him on the head.

Soul Thirteen froze in place instantly. He felt as though a surge of electricity went through him. The fear in him grew stronger and stronger.

“Dammit… Dammit… What kind of an existence is this?!” He finally woke up, and he wanted to flee so badly. He did not want to stay in this place for even a brief moment. However, he could no longer flee this time.

After the hoof came a paw. It descended abruptly, grabbed Soul Thirteen by the neck, and brought him back to where he was.

The Qilin’s eyes flashed with excitement. His whisker curled slightly, rested on Soul Thirteen’s face, and stroked gently…

Soul Thirteen almost burst into tears. He found that the monster before him was looking at him as if he was some kind of delicacy. ‘Why is this savage monster so terrifying? Is he going to eat me?! I’m a Soul Overlord who stands on the top of this Chaotic Universe! How could I be eaten by a savage monster? This is impossible…’

The next moment, the Qilin grabbed Soul Thirteen, shoved him into his mouth, closed his jaws, and chewed. Before long, the Soul Demon’s true form was completely swallowed by him.

Bu Fang stared blankly at the scene and finally understood why the other Artifact Spirits called the Qilin the boss. With that ferocious look alone, he deserved the title.

The Qilin burped. He looked at Bu Fang and seemed satisfied. Then, he transformed into a beam of purple light and returned to Bu Fang’s spirit sea.

As for the Soul Overlord, Soul Thirteen… He was already a thing of the past.

In the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital, all the people stared blankly at the starry sky. What just happened had completely stunned them, and none of them knew what to say.

A Soul Overlord, who was so supreme and comparable to that of a Heavengod, was… swallowed! It was a cruel scene, but… anyone who witnessed it felt extremely satisfied!

Meanwhile, all the Soul Demons were utterly frightened. The Numbered Soul Demons knew that they had lost the war, so they turned to flee without hesitation.

It would be best if they could escape this place. As long as they survived, they would have chances to make a comeback. Soul Demons bred fast, and as long as they had enough flesh and blood, their reproduction rate would not slow down.

The retreat of the Soul Demons had attracted the attention of humans. Upon noticing it, the Xiayi Divine Emperor’s eyes turned red.

“Trying to flee? Don’t even think about it! Everyone, come with me. Let’s kill all these demons!” the Divine Emperor bellowed as his golden armor burst into light. Then, he leaped forward and charged into the Soul Demon army. Now that the Soul Demons had lost their fighting will, they were nothing to be afraid of.

The humans beamed with energy, and each of them was filled with the towering will to fight. The Xiayi crown prince unleashed his aura, while the Titan crown prince roared to vent his excitement and grief. Even Ah Mo and Xiao Yanyu joined the battle…

For a moment, the humans blew the trumpet of counterattack.

…

The Qilin had returned. Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and stood on the broken star. Before him was the Gluttony Soul Overlord’s body, or rather, a Heavengod-level food ingredient. Of course, the premise was that Bu Fang needed to consider if this food ingredient could be eaten.

The flesh of a Soul Overlord was the crystalline form of essence. It was not only superb in defense but also contained an incredible amount of energy.

The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun in Bu Fang’s hand. He grabbed it by the handle and cut a piece of meat from the Gluttony Soul Overlord’s thigh. After losing its true form, the body’s defense had weakened significantly, so he was able to cut through the flesh effortlessly.

He studied the meat carefully and found that it was somewhat similar to that of a squid. After removing the hard shell, the tender meat inside was almost identical to a squid’s flesh. Of course, the energy content in it was far greater.

Twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, Bu Fang put away the piece of meat. As for the Soul Overlord’s body, he put it into the System’s storage space. He did not send it into the Heaven and Earth Farmland because he feared some unforeseen changes would happen to it.

Most importantly, with the improvement of his strength, the farmland was going through a huge transformation, which would take a while to complete.

Bu Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Standing on the broken star, he looked at the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital where plumes of smoke rose.

The disaster brought by the Soul Demons had finally ended. After this, Bu Fang thought it was time for him to get ready to look for the God of Cooking Sets’ Artifact Spirits. He had a feeling that it would not be an easy task to find them. Besides, the intuition that came from the depths of his soul told him that… the real test of becoming a God of Cooking was about to begin.

…

In a remote region of the Chaotic Universe, the void was torn apart, and a wisp of black smoke squeezed out of it like a tiny snake. The next moment, it transformed into a vague and weak figure. If Bu Fang were here, he would be able to recognize that this figure was Soul Thirteen’s clone.

“Damned chef! Do you think you have killed me? I bet you never expected that… I had a clone!” Soul Thirteen hissed with a venomous look on his hazy face.

He had lost his true form. With this clone alone, he had no idea how long it would take him to become a Soul Overlord again. However, with all his experience, he believed that he could become a Soul Overlord once again.

Soul Thirteen turned and was about to find a place to hide and grow in stealth. Suddenly, he heard a chuckle.

“Aye, I’ve found you at last.”

With a ripping sound, the void was torn apart, then a hand reached out of it and grabbed Soul Thirteen, who had transformed back into a tiny snake.

Soul Thirteen froze instantly. A figure with its head obscured by a hazy fog emerged before him.

“You have no idea how much effort Lord Bird had put in to find you… Well, you can’t run away from Lord Bird this time, can you? Hehe…”
