Chapter 1714: The Egg Stealing Gang

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The b.a.l.l.s formed by the branches of the tea tree were torn open. From them, arms stretched out at the same time. On one side was a pair of fair human arms, and on the other a pair of mechanical arms.

The scarlet divine flame swirled, forcing the branches away. Bu Fang’s figure slowly emerged from the first ball. Whitey, on the other hand, simply ripped the ball apart and jumped out of it.

“You guys broke free?” Countess Xia Qiu gave Bu Fang and Whitey a quizzical look.

Bu Fang’s cultivation base was only at the level of a Saint of the Great Path, so how could he break free of the bondage imposed on him by the Chaotic-Saint-level tea tree?

The Soul Cleansing Tea Tree was not an ordinary plant. It was the strongest being of a universe where plant life reigned supreme. She had forcibly dug it out and transplanted it to her own garden, turning the place into a tea plantation.

She did that because the energy contained in the tea tree could bring her joy. Was tea considered a delicacy? She was not sure. But since the Queen of Curses did not question her, she thought it should be fine.

Bu Fang glanced at her as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “I’ve thought of a dish to cook…” he said.

“Really?” Countess Xia Qiu looked at Bu Fang, surprised. She did not expect it so soon. ‘Hopefully, he’s not just making a perfunctory effort to brush me off. If that’s the case, I won’t tell him the way to enter District A…’

In fact, not only would she not tell Bu Fang, she would even kill him. She was not a nice person to talk to in the first place. In Void City, she was called the Devil Countess, and in the other universes, she was called… The She-Devil. So, she was not a very nice person to be around.

“Then I’ll force myself to look forward to your dish… As for this Soul Cleansing Tea Tree, if you need it, I’ll give it to you,” she said.

Bu Fang nodded with satisfaction. He liked working with this kind of people who could give up anything for food. Compared to delicious food… How could this Soul Cleansing Tea Tree be compared to food?

Countess Xia Qiu left. She vanished from where she was in the blink of an eye.

Bu Fang and Whitey exchanged a look. Then, they turned, facing the tea tree. Although Bu Fang’s strength was only at the peak of a Saint of the Great Path, he had the fighting prowess to fight a Chaotic Saint for a short time. The tea tree was once the master of a universe, but in Bu Fang’s eyes, it was just another ingredient.

A sonorous dragon cry rang out. The next moment, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife fell into Bu Fang’s hand, flas.h.i.+ng brilliantly.

Rumble!

The entire Countess Residence began to tremble. Countess Xia Qiu returned to her residence, sat down on a chair, and crossed her long legs. Then, she picked up a cup of water. Looking at the ripples in the cup, she exhaled lightly.

…

Bu Fang and Whitey walked out from under the ground covered in green slime. In the end, Bu Fang obtained three radiant tea leaves, which were flowing with arcane patterns.

Just by looking at the patterns, Bu Fang realized that they were actually a peerless cultivation technique that could allow an individual to cultivate to the level of a Saint of the Great Path. Of course, in his eyes, they were just tea leaves, which he would use to make a tea egg.

Of the three tea leaves, Bu Fang sent one into the Heaven and Earth Farmland so that Niu Hansan could conduct his hybridization experiment. As for the remaining two, he planned to use them to make a tea egg. He could already foresee that the tea egg will be the greatest in all the universes!

To make the tea egg, in addition to the tea leaves, he also needed an egg. And to match the tea leaves, he naturally needed a Chaotic-Saint-level egg.

He held the tea leaves and came to the countess’s parlor.

“The dish is ready?” Countess Xia Qiu sat on her chair, sipping tea.

Bu Fang shook his head. “I still need an egg… The egg of a Chaotic-Saint-level divine beast,” he said.

“Are you sure you’re cooking a dish? I can’t believe you plan to use a Chaotic-Saint-level egg… Are you out of your mind?” Countess Xia Qiu’s expression became somewhat strange. However, she curled her red lips the next moment and said, “You chefs are crazy creatures…

“In District C, only two people own Chaotic-Saint-level divine beasts. I’m one of them, and the other one is Countess Aitang. She keeps a divine pet, a Chaotic Divine Phoenix who just stepped into the Chaotic Saint level and is not weaker than my Dark Devil Dragon…

“A pity that my Dark Devil Dragon is a male, so he can’t produce eggs. Otherwise… I wouldn’t have recommended that bird to you,” Countess Xia Qiu said.

Bu Fang blinked, while Whitey touched its head with its huge hand. Why did she sound so fake?

“Countess Aitang leaves District C every three months to hunt in other universes with her divine phoenix. You can go to her residence and steal the egg during that time.” Countess Xia Qiu looked very excited as she said that, as if she had been planning this for a long time.

Bu Fang was stupefied. She was even kind enough to make plans for him, including when to enter the residence, when to steal the egg, and how to avoid the two flaming turkeys guarding the phoenix’s nest. It gave him a feeling that he had mistakenly boarded a pirate s.h.i.+p…

…

Three days later, a rumbling sound rang out in District C, and then a loud phoenix cry soared into the sky. The entire vault of heaven over the district turned crimson.

Many n.o.bles were chuckling. “Countess Aitang is going to hunt with her divine pet again. I wonder which universe is going to suffer this time…”

In the sky, a woman, clad like a female martial G.o.d and standing in a flaming chariot, rushed into the clouds with a flaming phoenix as huge as a star leading the way. In just a flash, they vanished completely.

Meanwhile, inside Countess Xia Qiu’s residence, Bu Fang and Whitey began to construct an array. When they were done, the array buzzed and flashed, and then they both disappeared at the same time.

Countess Xia Qiu rubbed her hands with an expectant look on her face. She thought it would be nice to be able to eat the egg of her foe’s divine pet.

…

The phoenix’s nest was located in a spatial rift constructed inside Countess Aitang’s residence. When Whitey and Bu Fang reappeared, they hovered right over the spatial rift.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as he looked at the spatial rift, which appeared like a huge eyeball. The aura that erupted from it was extremely terrifying, and he also sensed two turkeys as strong as peak Saints of the Great Path staring at him. Their eyes were enormous and shone like the sun.

“Didn’t Countess Xia Qiu say these two turkeys are sleeping at this point?”

Bu Fang was speechless. He exchanged a look with Whitey and exhaled deeply. “Whitey, each of us fights one turkey. Make it quick. Decide yourself if you want to pluck its feather or skin it. Just have fun,” he said.

The next moment, they sped forward.

“How dare you trespa.s.s the Countess Residence!” The two turkeys, one male and one female, bellowed at the same time. They could speak the human language!

Heaven and earth began to tremble, and terrible rumbling sounds shook the entire District C. In that instant, all the guards in the residence moved out. These guards were not weak, and it would take them just the s.p.a.ce of two to three breaths to arrive.

Foxy sat dumbly on Shrimpy’s back. The mantis shrimp hovered in midair, its eyes drooping as if it was about to fall asleep. The little fox rubbed her nose with a little paw, then she saw a swarm of guards come flying in their direction.

The guards of Countess Residence outnumbered the guards of those n.o.bles, and their strength and fighting prowess were much stronger.

Foxy stood up. Then, her belly bulged. The next moment, her mouth expanded abruptly. The HeavenG.o.d blood flowed through her, turning her from white to red in an instant. Finally, she opened her mouth, and energy began to gather between her jaws.

“Ah… Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da…”

In the blink of an eye, countless Soul Demon meatb.a.l.l.s shot out, heading straight toward the guards.

Those guards never thought that the intruders would be so bold! They could not believe that the little fox would attack them right inside the Residence of Countess!

Rumbling sounds filled the air as explosions and flames enveloped the entire residence in a flash.

“Let’s do this!” Bu Fang said to Whitey. Then, he produced the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, carried the Black Turtle Constellation Wok on his back, stepped on the White Tiger Heaven Stove, held the Qilin Transmigration Ladle in his hand, and rushed forward.

The Law of s.p.a.ce, the Law of Transmigration, the Law of Time… The five supreme Laws of the Universe emerged and swirled around him, pus.h.i.+ng his fighting prowess to the extreme.

In a flash, Bu Fang engaged one of the turkeys in a fierce battle. Whitey, on the other hand, threw out its flags and charged toward the other turkey. However, it was immediately chased back by the turkey, who was as huge as a mountain and kept pecking at its round head.

The battle broke out too suddenly, and commotions quickly spread across the entire District C.

The Black Turtle Constellation Wok spun and was held by Bu Fang. The Yin and Yang energies swirled around his arm, and when his strength reached its peak, he flung it out and smashed the turkey on the head.

A loud thud rang out. The smash made the turkey’s head reel, and it fell straight to the ground.

Bu Fang focused his eyes. The Law of Time turned into a link of chains, fell, and tightly tied up the turkey. He glanced at Whitey, who was being chased by the other turkey. Without hesitation, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed into the rift.

Within the rift was the phoenix’s nest. Bu Fang flew at top speed inside. Soon, he saw countless divine phoenix eggs at the center of the nest. He was stunned when he saw so many eggs. He never thought that he would run into such a surprise here.

However, although there were many divine phoenix eggs, only a few of them could survive. This was the reason why divine phoenixes were so scarce. Most of the eggs in the nest were dead.

Bu Fang did not choose those eggs that could survive. With the Vermilion Bird at his side, he chose a dead egg precisely. He called it a dead egg because there was no possibility of it hatching a phoenix. However, the egg still contained a tremendous amount of energy, which seemed to break through the sh.e.l.l to veil the sky.

Holding the phoenix egg, Bu Fang turned and rushed out of the phoenix’s nest without hesitation. The moment he flew out of the rift, the turkey down below, which he had tied up with the chains of time, began to struggle crazily.

“Whitey! Retreat!” Bu Fang shouted at Whitey.

Rumble…

Suddenly, the color of the sky changed, and a dreadful rumbling sound filled the air. The void crumbled, while a piercing phoenix cry and the sound the chariot’s wheels made as it crushed through the void reverberated through the world.

“Crawlers from District D… How dare you steal my divine phoenix egg! You’re courting death!”

A cold female voice echoed out. Then, a huge sword fell from the sky, slas.h.i.+ng at Bu Fang and Whitey. The countess was very strong—she was a Chaotic Saint. Although she was weaker than Countess Xia Qiu, she still posed a great challenge to Bu Fang.

Bu Fang focused his eyes. Holding the egg in one hand, he lifted the Black Turtle Constellation Wok with the other. The five supreme Laws of the Universe surrounded the black wok as it met the sword head-on.

Rumble!

Half of the Countess Residence was reduced to ruins in an instant. Bu Fang performed a hand incantation gesture, and light dots emerged around him to form an array. “Whitey, hurry up!” he shouted.

Foxy was burping when Shrimpy, who had turned into a stream of golden light, wrapped her up and rushed into the array. The next moment, Whitey flew over from the distance and dashed into the array as well, dragging the huge turkey whose feathers were almost gone.

Bu Fang seemed dumbstruck, but he had no time to say anything because the divine phoenix’s roar had already descended. The attacks of two Chaotic Saints, a countess plus a divine phoenix, were not something that he dared to face.

Suddenly, a faint laugh rang out of Countess Xia Qiu’s residence. Then, a black spear shot out of the building, flying straight toward the two Chaotic Saints in the sky.

Taking the opportunity, Bu Fang stepped into the array and disappeared.

“Xia Qiu! Are you going to start a war with me?!” a furious female voice screamed, causing the void to tremble violently.

“Eh… The spear slipped out of my hand. I was practicing, if you don’t mind,” Countess Xia Qiu said nonchalantly. After that, her residence fell silent, no longer responding to Countess Aitang’s roar and hiss. It was as though she was not the person who threw out the spear just now.

Bu Fang emerged with the phoenix egg in the underground s.p.a.ce within Countess Xia Qiu’s residence. Whitey was at his side, holding a huge turkey with its mechanical eyes flas.h.i.+ng excitedly. Foxy burped. Her eyes lit up as they rested on the turkey.

Countess Xia Qiu rubbed her hands as she looked at Bu Fang, who had succeeded in stealing the egg.

“Now… We have all the main ingredients for the tea egg.”

The egg-stealing gang had done a perfect job. The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly.

“You must get the tea egg done quickly. You can’t hide in this s.p.a.ce for too long. Once Countess Aitang reports what happened to the Queen of Curses, they will quickly find this place. By that time, I won’t be able to hide anything from them. Unless… you’ve cooked the egg,” Countess Xia Qiu said.

Bu Fang rolled his eyes. “Don’t worry. By the time the Queen of Curses finds us… there will be nothing left but eggsh.e.l.ls…”

Chapter 223: Purple-Eyed Whitey, Rampage!

Translator: E.3.3. Editor: Vermillion

The thunderous tremor continued to pound, causing the entire alleyway to shake and pieces of gravel to shoot through the sky.

Dense ashes formed a dust storm, from which resounded beast-like howls.

Boom Boom!

The invisible forces of energy finally diffused.

From his position in the store, Bu Fang could feel rolling waves of energy blasting on the roof, but then subsequently scattered by an unseeable force within the store. His face displayed a sense of astonishment.

"Hahahaha! I finally blew you up!!"

A last explosion followed the deafening roar of laughter, and the floor of the alleyway was instantly reduced to a pile of ruins.

Blacky was lying by the entrance of the store. He twitched his doggy nose and glanced lethargically at the center of the ashes. Through his eyes, he could see everything within the smoke and dust cloud limpidly.

The bystanders standing from a distance of the alleyway drew in chilled breaths. This was an eighth grade War-G.o.d, one able to bring about such a magnitude of wreckage by the sheer force of his body.

Demolis.h.i.+ng a small alleyway was something they could accomplish themselves, but only with the application of true energy. Without true energy, their bodies of flesh, though still strong, could never yield such destructive forces.

"Sheng Mu… that… that puppet should have been blown up right!" A Battle-Saint had excitement written all over his face, with both of his eyes beaming.

"How the h.e.l.l would I know! But since Elder Xia made a move, that puppet must have been ripped into shreds… his label 'beast in human form' isn't a meaningless saying!" Sheng Mu's eyes burned like flames.

Suddenly, a gigantic figure leaped out of the smoked ashes and landed on the floor. His chest heaved, and his mountain-like fists still emitted hot steam.

In the next moment, Xia Da lifted up his head as his eyes fixated on the storm of dust. A light breeze brushed past and dispersed the fumes in the air.

Xia Da focused on the flying sparks of dust and squinted his eyes. All the muscles on his ferocious face quivered.

Bu Fang also stared intently at the smoke dust, but straightaway, the corners of his mouth gently formed a curve.

Beep Beep!

A rattling sound echoed. Amidst the ashes, a silhouette materialized, and its shape became progressively clearer.

It was the same old chubby, white figure radiating with a metallic gleam.

The red beam from its mechanic eyes continued to flash, also at a rather alarming speed.

"What the h.e.l.l! This is still not freaking smashed into smithereens? This puppet…" Somebody who noticed Whitey's scratch-free body yelped in astonishment.

Sheng Mu also took in a chilled breath. The crazy punches launched from Xia Da's exceptional body were enough to end the life of a seventh grade spirit beast. Yet this puppet… was intact and unmarked!

b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l… did it have to be so extraordinary?

Xia Da's pupils also shrank. Afterwards, his chest pumped out a huge puff of air as he bellowed with laughter.

He stomped ferociously with one foot, crus.h.i.+ng the rock beneath him into bits. His entire body sprang up as he swung his rock-like fists straight at Whitey yet again.

If it couldn't be crushed with one or two attempts… then tens, hundreds of times it shall be… surely it couldn't survive after all of that?!

Bang!

However, his fist didn't even reach Whitey this time.

The red beam from Whitey's eyes froze. Its palm batted down like a fan and slapped Xia Da, who had just sprinted a few steps, right onto the floor.

"d.a.m.n it!" Xia Da was enraged. This puppet's attack caught him by surprise!

Bang! Whitey's mechanic eyes aimed at Xia Da, and its palm rose and smacked down once again. With a loud boom, Xia Da's body literally sank into the grounds, sending tiles flying everywhere.

The floor was now effectively and utterly destroyed.

The cracks in the ground extended to Blacky's resting spot but stopped short, as if blocked by an invisible force of energy.

Blacky yawned and continued to watch with enthusiasm as the chubby Whitey… tortured the poor fellow.

Bang!

Whitey's every whack appeared so calm and composed. However, for Sheng Mu and his crew, it was almost as if the smacks landed on their own chests. Their hearts trembled with fear.

"You abominable piece of s.h.i.+t! Now I'm p.i.s.sed!" With a holler, a rich wave of true energy surged up before Whitey.

This rush of true entry shot straight to the sky and spread through the entire Imperial City. Numerous people felt its force.

The force of pressure from an eighth grade War-G.o.d had finally and wholly burst forth in this very moment.

Whitey's swinging palm was caught by Xia Da, now covered from head to toe with an armor of true energy. Xia Da gradually lifted up the palm as his eyes stared daggers at Whitey coldly.

He had long forgotten when was the last time he had suffered such a huge loss. But being knocked onto the floor ruthlessly, now this was a first.

It has always been him tormenting others. Never had there been someone who dared to treat him this way!

The armor created by true energy shone brilliantly and l.u.s.trously, as if made of tangible materials. This was the uniqueness of an eighth grade War-G.o.d. Once one reached the breakthrough to the realm of War-G.o.d, one could generate matter through the force of energy vortex in one's energy core. Then, by nouris.h.i.+ng it with true energy and an infinite supply of vigor, one could then transform it into an actual weapon.

"Your puppet here sure has something up its sleeves. Just you wait… once I tear this puppet apart, you'll be crushed into pieces next!" Xia Da's glance suddenly s.h.i.+fted toward Bu Fang. As the owner of the puppet, Bu Fang was the ultimate culprit in bringing about his utter humiliation.

The clear intent to kill rushed from Xia Da's body, and fed into his growing might. The force of pressure that had spread through the air made it hard for Sheng Mu and the crew to breath evenly.

Whitey's eyes, which had thus far targeted Xia Da, suddenly blasted with a brightening red ray that nearly blinded others.

"Sensing the troublemaker's intent to kill the host. s.h.i.+fting mode, prepare for extermination."

The red beam burned so fiercely that it had reached its peak, suddenly dulled, and transformed into an odd shade of purple. That tone of purple caused both Xia Da's body and heart to s.h.i.+ver. He definitely had a bad feeling about this.

Purple-eyed Whitey, switched on!

Bam!!

Whitey lifted up a foot, at a speed that Xia Da was unable to discern, and landed a kick swiftly on Xia Da's stomach.

Snap!

With a crackling sound, Xia Da's entire body was thrust into the sky by Whitey's kick. The armor of true energy before his abdomen had fractured… and fell off piece after piece.

Xia Da's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but heave uncomfortably. There was nothing but wrath on his face, and his intent to kill had just amplified.

With a loud bang, the small alleyway brimmed with brilliant rays of light. Standing before Whitey was a colossal silhouette of a demonic G.o.d with three heads and six arms!

"Go to h.e.l.l!" Xia Da covered his stomach, and the fragmented armor of true energy gradually repaired itself. He lifted up a clenched fist, and simultaneously the silhouette of a demonic G.o.d also raised its gigantic fist and punched toward the purple-eyed Whitey from below.

Whitey's purple eyes beamed, and its entire figure instantly vanished like a lightning. What a complete juxtaposition to its previously sluggish manner.

Everyone lifted up their heads instinctively, only to see the chubby puppet floating in the sky. Its raised palm easily withstood the punch of the enormous demonic G.o.d silhouette.

Everyone stared aghast as Whitey's robotic palm transformed into a sharp knife covered with mystifying markings.

The blade of the huge knife glistened, as sharp as ever.

Swoos.h.!.+

The blade flashed by like a beam of light, and slashed through the arm of the demonic G.o.d silhouette. With a crack, it was smashed into pieces and dissipated into true energy that had scattered into the air.

Xia Da's heart trembled violently and, with a howl, he released a black cascade from the mouth of demonic G.o.d. That stream fluctuated with destructive waves of energy, as if determined to finish off Whitey.

Whitey remained unmoved, and even the purple beam of light from its eyes froze. A ma.s.sive black hole appeared before its chubby stomach and completely consumed the black-colored cascade cras.h.i.+ng onto Whitey's body.

"Oh my G.o.d!! What kind of monster is this!"

Xia Da's pupils shrank. He was well aware of the capabilities of that black cascade, which had the power to demolish an entire city. Yet today it was easily absorbed by this puppet.

Could it get scarier than this?

Whitey's hand, having transformed into a giant knife, swiped through the air and sliced down from the head, completely butchering the true energy demonic G.o.d.

Xia Da spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire figure staggered backwards. His gigantic stature was like a leaking balloon, and quickly reduced to its original size.

The armor of true energy that had s.h.i.+elded him also began to crack… and continued chipping off piece by piece.

After that one slash, he had met his defeat.

Bam!

Whitey landed on the floor with a deafening boom, a sound which reverberated through the alleyway, and swung its knife again. Its imposing manner caused Sheng Mu and his crew to become limp with fear. They could barely stand straight…

A puppet had basically vanquished their elder, an eighth grade War-G.o.d!

"That was… dog f.u.c.kin' unbelievable! A mere puppet… how could it be so powerful?" A seventh grade Battle-Saint trembled with horror and couldn't help but curse. Whitey had truly scared them out of their wits.

From a distance, a black dog lifted open an eye and gazed at the seventh grade Battle-Saint who had just spoken… Last time it was a young monk who wanted to eat dog meat, this time it was a dumba.s.s who wanted to screw a dog?

When the h.e.l.l did dogs offend you people?

Blacky humphed derisively and curled his doggy lips to show a row of pearl white teeth. Afterwards, he lifted up his doggy paw and lashed at the air.

Swoos.h.!.+

The seventh grade Battle-Saint who had just swore felt his heart thud. In an instant, he was. .h.i.t with a blackout.

Sheng Mu goggled as the seventh grade Battle-Saint besides him was turned into a pile of ashes that dissolved into the soil. His heart almost stopped beating that very moment. Terror, panic, desperation… all sorts of negative feelings had poured into his mind.

That puppet… was virtually the devil!

He attributed this Battle-Saint's death to Whitey… as the purple-eyed Whitey before him looked like a terrifying demon.

n.o.body noticed that a black dog lying by the entrance hummed delightfully and gradually lowered its delicate doggy paw.

Xia Da struggled badly and finally pulled himself up from the floor. Both of his eyes were bloodshot.

However, Whitey's enormous knife was not merciful… With a swoosh, a deep gash appeared across Xia Da's body, and blood spurted out of that wound.

This puppet… was out to kill him!

Xia Da's ferocity had evaporated, and all that was left was infinite horror!

Bu Fang, who stood by the entrance of the store, breathed with relief. Whitey will be Whitey, always living up to the reputation of the store's safety guarantee.

With Whitey here, what was the worth of… even an eighth grade War-G.o.d?

Whitey's mechanic eyes flashed a purple gleam, and stomped down with heavy steps. It was almost as if each step directly landed on the hearts of Xia Da and his crew.

This group of warriors of the Ferocious Hall... were frightened to death.

Suddenly, both a rumbling roar and a long spear shot from the far side of the sky. The spear was flung from the hands of a figure and pierced through the air. It traveled at a speed so fast that sparks of fire almost spurted out of the spearhead.

With a loud boom, the long spear was thrust before Whitey's body, and burning flames rushed up like a torrent.

Inside the store, the red-clothed Mu Lingfeng's face suddenly darkened. He had kept a close watch on the sequence of events outside and finally rose to his feet. This was a move made by Elder Bian of their Imperial Beast Hall!

Mu Lingfeng left his spot and strode toward the exit of the store.

Bu Fang, still standing by the door, cast him a perplexed look.

Mu Lingfeng suddenly stopped course and peered at Bu Fang, who was still by the entrance. An inexplicable beam of light seemed to be circulating in his eyes.

Only a fifth grade Battle-King… oh my dear Owner Bu.

Suddenly, a wave of Path-Understanding Notes suddenly poured out of the store. The Path-Understanding Notes were like invisible ripples and disseminated from the insignificant corner of this store to the small alleyway outside. Not after long, it had spread to the entire Imperial City.
