Chapter 1207 The Competition on the Stairway

Lub-dub! Lub-dub!The deafening beating of the heart filled the void.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath.

The golden heart was incredibly huge, and it looked as if it was suspended in the sky. The white jade stairway kept stretching upward until it reached just below it.

“This is the only way to inherit the Divine Chef’s legacy... the Stairway of Culinary Arts.” Ying Ya recognized the white jade stairway as he squinted at it.

This was a simple world. Although it looked vast and open, it was filled with a foggy white mist. The only thing that existed in this world was the white jade stairway in the center and the beating heart on top of it.

The golden heart steadily pumped out powerful energy and pressure. It was the pressure of the Great Saint, the pressure of the Divine Chef. Even the two Judges dared not act recklessly here.

A Great Saint might not be a Divine Chef, but a Divine Chef must be a Great Saint.

There was a clan in the Nether Prison called the Nine Revolution Nether Chef, and it was a clan with its own Divine Chefs. Each of those Divine Chefs possessed mighty power.

Although the Nether Chef Clan didn’t have a deep foundation, it was ranked somewhere in the upper positions among the nine clans of the Nether Prison because of its Divine Chefs, a rank that was even higher than the Shadow Demon Clan.

The reason why Ying Ya went to the Nether Chef Clan and secretly learned their culinary arts was to lead the Shadow Demon Clan to a position higher than the Nether Chef Clan. Now, with the Divine Chef’s inheritance right in front of him, how could he not be tempted?

Rumble...

Clouds churned in the skies as shafts of golden gazes fell onto every visitor. Those gazes made them feel pressured.

The people floating in the void all landed on the ground, standing beneath the white jade stairway. As soon as they approached, they gasped because there were countless skeletons kneeling around the stairway. These bones were old, and some had almost turned into ashes. They consisted of various races and species, including humans, beasts, and Abyssal Demons.

They were shocked to see so many different races and species.

Clearly, this Divine Chef’s inheritance was coveted by many, but it seemed that no one had successfully acquired the legacy that the Divine Chef wanted to give away.

This was not good news. It showed that this inheritance was very difficult to obtain.

“Once you enter my land of inheritance, you will be my inheritor.

“My legacy includes the knife techniques and the culinary mental force control techniques I’ve studied for my whole life, as well as my cooking set and the gifts I’ve prepared for my disciple.

“The gifts are the bone of Qilin, the feather of Fire Phoenix, the eye of Roc, and the horn of True Dragon...”

The pair of golden eyes swept across the crowd as if it was telling them something, while a thunderous voice instantly rang inside their heads.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Even Bu Fang’s eyes constricted involuntarily.

This was truly worthy of being the inheritance of a Divine Chef. Just the cooking set and the gifts were enough to tempt even a Great Saint, not to mention the knife techniques and the culinary mental force control techniques. To top it all off, the gifts were all extraordinary Sacred grade immortal ingredients!

However, they quickly woke up from the temptation of rich rewards.

Yes, these rewards were extraordinary, but none of the people who arrived here was a fool. Why did the Divine Chef announce the rewards as soon as the inheritance opened? He was tempting them, making it impossible for them to cast away the greed in their hearts.

The inheritance they were about to face must be very dangerous!

“The first test is the stairway of inheritance. You need to walk up the steps and enter the Heart of Cooking Path, which is my own little world. The real test of inheritance is in there. The stairway of inheritance will assess your talent. If your talent is not good enough, you will be excluded. Kneel at the bottom of the stairway to get another chance.” The pair of golden eyes glowed as a voice rang through the air.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. It turned out that all these skeletons were those whose talents were not good enough... They couldn’t help but wonder how high was the requirement for the inheritance.

The crowd turned their eyes to the white jade stairway.

It stretched up and up into the clouds. When they looked up, they couldn’t see where it ended, but they could see the golden glow at its top.

It was the Heart of Cooking Path...

The atmosphere suddenly became a little suffocating.

Even the two Judges were breathing fast. The main reason was that the gift of the inheritance was really tempting. As the descendants of the Abyssal Demon, they had inherited some cooking talent from their ancestors. They thought they could give it a try as well. What if there was a miracle? What if they were lucky?

Besides...

They fixed their eyes at Bu Fang. They were here because of him, knowing that this young man would surely walk the steps. Naturally, they had to follow him.

The Nether Chef genius laughed. Covered in blood, he came in front of the white jade stairway, shaking from excitement. He lifted one leg and stepped onto the first step!

Rumble!

As soon as both his feet were on the stairway, the genius’s laughter came to an abrupt stop, and his eyes grew so wide that they seemed to be popping out.

A terrible pressure weighed down on him and made him feel suffocated.

‘Who said this is a test of talent? It is a test of the ability to withstand pressure!’

The stairway was filled with the pressure from the Divine Chef’s Heart of Cooking Path! They had to withstand the pressure as they climbed the steps!

The genius looked up. He couldn’t see the end of the stairway. It meant that the higher he climbed, the stronger the pressure he had to withstand.

Besides, the pressure from the Heart of Cooking Path was not the only thing he had to deal with. As soon as he took the first step, he began to see a vision, which was an incomplete recipe.

It was also one of the tests, and he had to complete it!

So, there were two tests on the stairway. One was the interpretation of the recipes, and the other was the pressure from the Heart of Cooking Path!

The Nether Chef genius couldn’t laugh anymore. His face became grave as he began to think about the solution to the first question. After pondering for a long time, he began to climb again. The second question came to him when he climbed ten steps, and once again, he was lost in thought.

Ying Ya didn’t hesitate. He took a step and appeared beneath the stairway in a flash. He was very confident in his talent for cooking. After all, he was able to reach his current level by secretly learning from the Nether Chef Clan. It showed how amazing his culinary talent was.

As soon as he stepped on the stairway, Ying Ya’s pupils constricted. He felt the terrible pressure.

“This...” He paused slightly, exhaled to calm himself, and began to think.

Realm Lord Di Tai and City Lord Meng Qi also stepped onto the stairway and entered the same state right away.

Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes. The white jade stairway glowed with a blurry white luster as if it was exuding endless charm. He came beneath it, lifted one leg, and took the first step. The moment he was on it, he felt a powerful pressure from the Heart of Cooking Path.

“Oh?” Bu Fang raised his head in surprise and looked at the sky. The bright golden Heart of Cooking Path shone dazzlingly. Then, he lowered his gaze. Perhaps because he had come up the stairway too late, the others had left him far behind.

At the top was the Nether Chef genius. His name was Ye Yun, and he had reached the thirtieth step. He was very fast. He only stopped for a dozen breaths at a time, then he continued to climb. Although the pressure on the stairway was tremendous, it was not strong enough to affect him.

Ying Ya came in second. His talent was indeed amazing. He had already started to climb the twenty-third step and showed no signs of slowing down.

The person who came after him was Realm Lord Di Tai, and then City Lord Meng Qi.

Bu Fang had just stepped onto the stairway when the two Judges in the distance also took the first step. They were full of confidence. After all, their cultivation bases were the highest among the people here.

However, as soon as they took the first step, they were horrified to discover that they were wrong. Cultivation bases were of no use here.

When the pressure from the Heart of Cooking Path came weighing down on them, the two Judges, who didn’t even know what the Heart of Cooking Path was, were struck dumb instantly. They were directly knocked out of the stairway and thrown far away, crashing several skeletons as they fell to the ground.

“How is that possible? Why can’t we participate in the inheritance?!”

There was an unwilling look in the eyes of the two Judges. Then, they turned their gaze to Bu Fang.

Since they couldn’t participate, they naturally had to pull that young man down. He had killed their third brother, so he must die!

“Get down here!” the Judges bellowed at the same time. After that, they disappeared, and when they reappeared the next moment, they were already in front of the white jade stairway.

At this moment, Bu Fang had not started to climb the steps. All they had to do was reach out and pull him down.

Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and stared indifferently at the two Judges in their blood-colored robes. When he saw the exasperated look on their faces, he instantly felt that both of them were idiots.

When a person was not a chef, he would never know how terrifying the Heart of Cooking Path was. As soon as they stepped on the stairway, they acquiesced that they were chefs. However, any chef who had not condensed a Heart of Cooking Path would only taste despair before the pressure from a Divine Chef’s Heart of Cooking Path.

“Since we can’t go up, we won’t allow you to go up either!” With a mad look on his face, a Judge tried to pull Bu Fang down from the stairway.

There was a sarcastic smile on Bu Fang’s lips. When the Judge suddenly appeared, the mocking look in his cold eyes made the Judge bristle.

Even then, he turned around and stepped up the second step.

The Judge’s hand could only touch the corner of his sleeve and could go no further. Instantly, a furious look crept up his face.

“I said get down here!”

Boom!

Blood-colored rays burst from his body while a terrible aura towered into the sky, suppressing the void in a flash. The next moment, a sickle appeared, slashed through the air, and sent a blood-colored light beam toward Bu Fang. It contained a vast amount of energy as if it was about to hack the stairway into pieces!

However, the moment the blood-colored light beam touched the white jade stairway, it dispersed silently. The stairway seemed to be enveloped in a supreme power, which effortlessly destroyed the Judge’s attack.

Rumble...

The huge golden eyes emerged in the void once again, fixing coldly at the two Judges.

“Those who attacked the Stairway of Inheritance will be crippled and expelled!”

Rumble!

As soon as the voice rang out, the two Judges opened their mouths and coughed out some blood as if they had been severely wounded. After that, their faces twisted as a great force knocked them out of the land of inheritance.

Boom!

The two Judges were thrown out of the golden light pillar and smashed into the ground.

For Bu Fang and others, the expulsion of the two Judges was merely a sideshow. Now that they were on the stairway, they had to focus on facing the pressure from the Heart of Cooking Path and the questions about culinary arts.

Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back. His hair waved around him as he looked up at the top of the stairway.

Ying Ya and the Nether Chef genius, Ye Yun, were fighting over there for first place.

His eyes flashed as he began to walk unhurriedly up the steps. When he reached the tenth step, he saw a vision, which was a question about culinary arts. However, in less than the span of a breath, the vision crumbled and disappeared. Bu Fang continued climbing as if he had never stopped.

When it came to his culinary talent, Bu Fang was fearless!

Ying Ya and Ye Yun, who were at the top, felt as if a great demon king was approaching them at a great speed, causing them to become more stressed!
