Chapter 1163 - Hold Off Ten Thousand Beasts Alone

1163 Hold Off Ten Thousand Beasts Alone

Darkness invaded, and disaster befell. The whole Immortal Cooking Realm was in a state of panic.

Fortunately, City Lord Meng Qi was still there, so the people’s spirits didn’t fall.

All the people in the fourth layer had orderly retreated to the third layer. That was the furthest they could retreat. If they moved further down, everyone’s morale would collapse, no matter how Meng Qi calmed them down.

Once they retreated to the second layer, it would mean no more hope. When that happened, what was left for the Immortal Cooking Realm was destruction.

Meng Qi stood over a tall building in City Court, her robe flapping noisily in the wind as she looked at the Immortal Tree.

The majestic tree that emanated rich immortal energy and supported the whole Immortal Cooking Realm was completely decayed now. It was covered with rot and looked extremely dried.

Roar!

Darkness kept pouring over, corroding the Immortal Tree like maggots.

Everyone was hiding in the Immortal City. Roaring beasts roamed outside the city, while dark Nether energy gathered in the sky.

The people felt as if they had been abandoned by the world. They looked blankly at the sky with fear, despair, and all kinds of negative emotions welling in their hearts...

Meng Qi bit her lip as she watched the dark Nether energy gush out from the entrance. She knew that a battle was inevitable, but she couldn’t see any hope.

The people of Immortal Cooking Realm had lived in peace for too long.

Although there were savage beasts in Immortal Cooking Realm, they could not hurt anyone because the people were protected by the Immortal City. So after staying in a safe environment for so long, the people were no longer aggressive and had lost their murderous spirit. They were no longer strong enough to resist the invaders of Nether Prison.

Meng Qi sighed. Her mind was weighed down with anxiety.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a plume of Nether energy exploded out of the entrance. The next moment, several figures enveloped in dark Nether energy flew out of it.

Horrible energy pervaded the sky.

A noise of restlessness rang through the hearts of all in the Immortal Cooking Realm, and an atmosphere of despair filled the air.

The Realm Lord had failed to hold the entrance. They would all die! There was no more hope!

Everyone broke down completely, and cries of despair could be heard from everywhere.

Only five Nether Prison experts rushed out of the entrance, but their energies were strong. The weakest one was an Eight-star True Immortal Realm expert, while the strongest one was a Nine-star True Immortal Realm expert. Clad in black robes and shrouded in Nether energy, they glanced about and fixed their eyes at the Immortal City down below.

The city was packed with people.

“These people should be the cowards of the Immortal Cooking Realm.” The Nether Prison experts burst out laughing, scorn and arrogance evident in their laughter.

“The Immortal Cooking Realm is huge, and yet only two people had the courage to resist our invasion, though their resistance is futile against our great army. The others didn’t even show themselves. They only knew how to hide and run away from us. As His Lordship said, Immortal Cooking Realm is a greenhouse, and the Immortal Chefs here are the flowers in the greenhouse, who will break apart at the slightest bit of trouble. All we have to do is make these delicate flowers understand what... despair is.”

“Attack!” cried one of the Nether Prison experts.

The next moment, they shot toward the Immortal City like missiles, with streams of dark Nether energy tailing behind them.

What they had to do now was to completely crush the hope of these delicate flowers once and for all!

Meng Qi stood on the city wall and watched as the five Nether Prison experts approached. Then, she looked back at the despairing Immortal Cooking Realm experts and sighed softly.

Without hesitation, she kicked the wall and shot into the sky, turning into a beam of light as she threw herself at the five Nether Prison experts.

Boom!

They clashed instantly and began to fight.

This was a war. No one would show mercy in a war, so they attacked with lethal moves at once.

With a pale-blue kitchen knife in her grip, City Lord Meng Qi held off the five Nether Prison experts alone.

A fierce battle unfolded in the sky. However, shortly after it began, Meng Qi had fallen into a disadvantaged position.

...

The situation in the first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm was much better than the other layers. Perhaps it was because it was located at the bottom. The Nether Prison invasion started from the fifth layer, so the impact on the first layer was not that great, and the crisis had not yet spread to them.

The main goal of the first layer now was to kill the savage beasts that were attacking the city.

Gongshu Baiguang had already organized the Immortal Chefs in the first layer to fight against the savage beasts, making them more ferocious than those at the other layers.

Buzz...

Meanwhile, the void in front of Immortal Chef Little Store tore open, where the dark Netherworld Ship came drifting out.

Bu Fang sat cross-legged on the deck with his eyes closed, while Nethery and Flowery were eating ice cream in cones.

Ice cream in a cone was another form of ice cream, which was refreshing to eat. No, it should be said that they were refreshing to lick. One should lick ice cream in cones. Either way, Nethery and Flowery enjoyed both forms very much.

‘I’m finally back in the first layer of Immortal Cooking Realm...’ Bu Fang opened his eyes.

The Immortal Cooking Realm was now enveloped in an aura of death, which should be emitted by the Immortal Tree.

It seemed that the tree had decayed to a very serious degree. It had not been so bad when Bu Fang left the Immortal Cooking Realm, so it was clear he had taken too much time.

However, Bu Fang couldn’t help it. There was too much effort to pay to get the Spring of Life. Whether it was to conquer Empress Bi Luo with an imperial feast or to enter God Vanishing Mountain to take the Spring of Life, it was not that simple.

He walked down the Netherworld Ship and headed toward the Immortal Chef Little Store. As soon as he pushed open the door, several figures inside turned to look at him.

Bu Fang was slightly taken aback.

There were several familiar figures sitting on the chairs in the restaurant—Xuanyuan Xuan, Gongshu Yun, and Mu Liuer, who he had not seen for a long time...

What were these three women doing here?

There was a sound of cooking in the kitchen.

The Black Dragon King sat in a corner, sipping tea leisurely.

Compared with the grim situation in the Immortal Cooking Realm, the atmosphere here was much more harmonious.

When Gongshu Yun and the others saw Bu Fang, their eyes lit up.

Xuanyuan Xuan’s nose and eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that she had just wept. She didn’t expect Bu Fang would return now, so she quickly covered her face with a handkerchief, fearing that he would see her ugly look.

“Enjoy your food and drink.” Bu Fang nodded expressionlessly and went straight to the kitchen.

Ding!

A bell rang as the curtain was lifted.

That gave Xixi, who was working in the kitchen, a pause. She turned around and saw Bu Fang walk toward her, causing a big smile to spread across her face.

“You’re back, Teacher Bu!”

Xixi was very happy. The decaying of the Immortal Cooking Realm weighed heavily on her heart.

Mu Liuer was complaining whenever she came to the restaurant, which didn’t help to lift Xixi’s spirits. She was relieved to see Bu Fang finally return.

Bu Fang patted Xixi’s head and looked around in the kitchen. He could tell at a glance that she was practicing her cooking.

“Not bad. You’ve made some progress.’ Bu Fang arched his brows and gave Xixi a look as he smelled the aroma in the air.

‘She truly is a highly gifted genius with an immortal tongue...’

Bu Fang reckoned that this little fellow would soon make a breakthrough and become a First Grade Immortal Chef. Suddenly, he recalled that he was just a First Grade Immortal Chef as well. It seemed to him that he had to improve his cooking skill after this. At least, he had to reach the level of a Second Grade Immortal Chef.

“Keep practicing your knife and cooking techniques.”

Bu Fang calmed down when he saw everything going on as usual in the restaurant. After rubbing Xixi’s head, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

When Mu Liuer and the others saw Bu Fang again, they couldn’t help but stop him.

“Where have you been these days, Owner Bu? The Immortal Cooking Realm is decaying... Savage beasts are attacking the city... and it is said that the fifth layer has been occupied by the Nether Prison invaders... Is our home going to be destroyed?” said Gongshu Yun, a little choked up.

Bu Fang glanced at her and twitched the corner of his mouth. “Destroyed? It will never happen...” After saying that, he walked straight out of the restaurant, leaving the three women staring blankly at each other.

After walking out the door, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious. The next moment, he turned his gaze toward the city gate, where the experts of the first layer were fighting the savage beasts with their bodies covered in blood. The beasts were extremely ruthless, so the casualties were high.

He exhaled softly, clasped his hands behind his back, and took a step forward.

The next moment, he disappeared from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already near the city gate.

Gongshu Ban stood on the wall. He was covered in blood, breathing heavily.

The ground outside the gate was already littered with the dead bodies of savage beasts and Immortal Cooking Realm experts. However, the savage beasts still kept pouring over endlessly. The Immortal Chefs on the wall were already very tired.

Rumble!

The rough-skinned savage beasts pounded fiercely against the wall, causing it to shake violently as if it were about to fall apart. Once the wall collapsed, they would be able to rush into the city and began to wantonly kill and destroy, and the whole city would be reduced to a living hell.

However... the Immortal Chefs were very tired. Although they had fought bravely, they had no strength left to fight now. The decay of the Immortal Cooking Realm thinned the immortal energy in the air, that was why it was taking them too long to regain their strength.

Roar!

There was a bestial roar in the distance, let out by a giant one-horned rhinoceros Beast Emperor. Its skin was as tough as iron, and its roar as sharp as a spear. After roaring, it began to run, pointing its horn at the city wall.

Everyone turned pale, including the experts from the Gongshu family, Luo family, and the other families in the Immortal City.

No one could stop this rhino!

Boom!!!

The horn crashed into the city gate. Rubbles fell and flew in all directions as the wall crumbled, and a big hole was opened. The rhino roared and rumbled into the city, followed by hordes of ferocious monsters.

The savage beasts finally broke into the Immortal City.

All the experts on the wall felt nothing but despair. They tried their best, but they still failed to stop this bestial tide...

The Immortal City was about to be destroyed.

Suddenly, Gongshu Ban squinted into the distance. He saw a figure walking in the direction of the giant rhinoceros.

That familiar figure made him shiver and filled his heart with hope.

“It’s the Great Demon King! It’s Owner Bu! He’s... back!”

Gongshu Ban became very excited.

“What’s the point of him coming back? Can he hold off the bestial tide alone?”

“There’s nothing he can do now. The end of the Immortal Cooking Realm has come. No one can change it...”

“We should have let the Immortal Cooking Realm be destroyed... We’ve fought so hard, but in the end, we still failed... It feels really bad...”

Unlike Gongshu Ban, the people around him didn’t feel any hope.

Yes, Bu Fang was back, but what was the point? In the face of this bestial tide, could he, a mere One-star True Immortal Realm expert, still create miracles? Fighting these savage beasts was not the same as participating in a cooking competition. It would require a real cultivation base to fight them.

Gongshu Ban’s smile froze. ‘They’e right. What’s the point of Owner Bu coming back?’ For a moment, he could not help closing his eyes in despair.

...

Bu Fang walked with his hands clasped behind his back. Ahead of him, the ground suddenly shook, and the wall crumbled into a hole, from which a huge rhinoceros roared and rushed through, followed by hordes of monsters.

That took him aback. Was the Immortal City breached?

He looked up at the group of people on the wall, covered in blood and looking extremely tired and weak.

His expression grew grave. He knew they had tried their best.

Bu Fang exhaled softly and turned his gaze to the rhino. The beast’s red eyes shone with killing intent as it dashed toward him.

Anyone who got in its way would be trampled to death!

It was a Six-star Beast Emperor, with tough skin, thick muscles, and brutal attacks, which made it almost an invincible existence in the first layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm. However, it was nothing but a piece of rubbish to Bu Fang now.

Bu Fang stood where he was with his hands on his back. Suddenly, his Vermillion Robe turned fiery scarlet, and a bird cry rang out as a pair of flaming wings spread out on his back. Even then, the texts in his mind lit up, sending huge waves across his spirit sea. In the blink of an eye, his divine perception had enveloped the whole city.

A plume of terrifying energy and pressure exploded out of Bu Fang, towering into the sky.

Every savage monster paused. The next moment, a horrible voice thundered in their minds.

“GET LOST!”

Rumble!

The voice exploded like the evening drum and morning bell, causing every beast to tremble and fall on all four legs, shivering in fear.

All the people on the wall gasped, stunned at what they had just witnessed.

They could not believe that the Great Demon King had held off the bestial tide alone!
