1160 The Magic Array That Traps the Spring of Life!

In Immortal Chef Little Store on the first layer of Immortal Cooking Realm...

Realm Lord Di Tai, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes, flashing with a dark look.

"Is it too late? The Immortal Tree has not revived, and Bu Fang has not returned with the Spring of Life. The seal protecting the Immortal Cooking Realm from Nether Prison has been... broken. Now, their experts have invaded on a large scale..."

He walked slowly out of the restaurant, stood in front of the doors, and looked up at the sky. There were no green leaves on the branches of the withered Immortal Tree. The once luxuriant Immortal Tree was now completely dead.

All the immortal fruits had disappeared, leaving only withered and yellow leaves hanging on the branches, looking as if they would fall as soon as the wind blew.

An atmosphere of despair pervaded the whole Immortal Cooking Realm.

Realm Lord Di Tai lifted his slender arm, and a pained look crept up his face. There seemed to be dark energy flowing in the air.

This was the energy of Nether Prison. It stung his skin.

"The army of Nether Prison is here..." Realm Lord Di Tai muttered. "The end of the Immortal Cooking Realm has come..."

He took a step forward and shot up into the sky, turning into a beam of light.

…

On the fourth layer of Immortal Cooking Realm, City Lord Meng Qi stood on top of a tall building. Her white robe flapped noisily as a gust of dry wind blew at her.

Watching the darkness that kept spreading out in the sky, her beautiful eyelashes twitched as a soul-trembling terror and crisis pervaded the air.

She knew that the experts of Nether Prison had begun to cross the Heaven Nether Bridge.

City Lord Zou had appeared as well. His face was extremely pale, and there was a look of despair in his eyes. "Is little chef Bu Fang back?"

The darkness in the sky kept spreading. Without the protection of the Immortal Tree, the Immortal Cooking Realm was in a fragile state. It simply could not resist the invasion of the Nether Prison experts.

"No... Without the Spring of Life, the Immortal Tree cannot be revived at all. We will all be killed by the Nether Prison army," Meng Qi murmured.

Suddenly, both Meng Qi and City Lord Zou narrowed their eyes, seeing a beam of light rising into the sky toward the fifth layer.

"It's the Realm Lord..." City Lord Zou said with a complicated look in his eyes.

Is Realm Lord Di Tai going to stop the Nether Prison army and buy some time for Bu Fang?

"Let's go. We can't let the Realm Lord shoulder everything alone," City Lord Meng Qi said in a soft voice.

However, her proposal was rejected by City Lord Zou. "No... You stay here. You need to calm those who are in a panic. Let me accompany the Realm Lord to resist the enemy!"

That gave Meng Qi a pause.

"You're better than me when it comes to calming people down..." City Lord Zou added, giving Meng Qi a deep look.

Meng Qi fell silent.

Not waiting for her to say anything, City Lord Zou burst into laughter and shot into the sky.

Meng Qi breathed a deep sigh and turned away.

Indeed, she had to calm everyone down. Once everyone was seized by fear, there would be no more hope in the Immortal Cooking Realm.

…

Realm Lord Di Tai's golden hair waved messily in the wind.

Suddenly, he looked back over his shoulder and saw City Lord Zou.

"Why are you here?" he asked, frowning.

"I'm here to fight alongside you! Meng Qi needs to calm the people, so we have to fight the enemy bravely!" City Lord Zou replied. If he didn't hold up his fingers like a woman when he said that, he would have looked very manly.

The corner of Realm Lord Di Tai's mouth twitched a little.

"Good! Let's fight the enemies together! No matter how strong they are, we will slaughter our way through them! We must buy as much time as possible. I believe little chef Bu Fang will soon return with the Spring of Life!" Realm Lord Di Tai said resolutely.

City Lord Zou narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Both of them transformed into streams of light and zoomed toward the fifth layer.

Boom!

With a loud rumble, they broke through clouds and landed on the fifth layer.

Stepping on the ground, they looked up into the distance.

The next moment, both of them were frozen in place, glancing around with dumbfounded eyes.

A gust of cold air instantly enveloped them.

They were fixed by countless eyes.

The air seemed to have become stagnant.

The sky in the fifth layer of the Immortal Cooking Realm was completely covered by clouds of dark Nether energy.

There were countless Nether Prison experts in the surroundings, who had discovered Realm Lord Di Tai and City Lord Zou as soon as they rushed out of the clouds, staring at both of them with an amused look in their eyes.

Rumble!

The ground shook. The next moment, the crowd parted, and a gigantic figure walked out through it, emanating waves of terrible energy that nearly crushed the void.

It was a dozen-meters tall giant. His skin was bluish-black, and his body was covered with huge muscles. There was a pair of scarlet eyes on his ugly face, which made him look as frightening as a demon. One of his arms was badly mutilated with bones exposed.

Roar!

The giant roared when he saw Realm Lord Di Tai and City Lord Zou. Instantly, a dreadful pressure spread out from his body.

"Despicable bunch of people! Who blew up my arm? Bring him to me! I'm going to tear him to pieces!" the giant bellowed, his pitch-dark Nether energy towering into the sky.

Judging from the energy he exuded, he was undoubtedly a Little Saint. As for what revolution of a Little Saint he was, it was no longer relevant, because the strongest man in the Immortal Cooking Realm, Realm Lord Di Tai, had only reached half-step Sacred Realm.

A Little Saint was more than enough to defeat him!

…

Meanwhile, in God Vanishing Mountain...

Rich life energy pervaded the air as water poured into the rainbow pool, sending mists everywhere.

A huge fox stood next to the pool, wagging its nine tails.

A beautiful woman in a white robe stood on a rock with a little fox in her arms. Not far away from her, a fat black dog was lying on the ground, staring curiously at the pool.

There was a whirlpool in the pool. Life energy spun rapidly inside, turning into a terrifying destructive force.

The nine-tailed fox was shocked. "Did that human just jump into the pool? He's jumping to his death!"

The destructive force in the source whirlpool of the Spring of Life was extremely powerful. It could even kill a Little Saint.

"Why did he jump into it? Has he become stupid after breaking through?"

Bu Fang did jump straight into the source of the Spring of Life as the invincibility of the Vermillion Robe gave him the courage to take a risk.

The rich life energy around him had transformed into a destructive force. When life energy reached its peak, it would turn to death.

The Vermillion Robe had turned crimson. Streams of destructive force smashed at Bu Fang's body, sending sparks everywhere.

Bu Fang didn't dare to be careless. He concentrated his mental force, using the divine perception he had just condensed to sense everything in the surroundings.

Soon, he reached the bottom and fell into the water with a splash.

The water in the pool was the Spring of Life. It was sweet and refreshing, containing infinite life force.

However, it was not what Bu Fang wanted.

He blew a bubble and swam toward the bottom of the water like a fish, stroking with both hands and paddling with both legs.

After swimming for a long time, Bu Fang reached the bottom.

Suddenly, he heard a loud boom and felt that he had passed through an invisible barrier.

The Spring of Life that surrounded him disappeared instantly. He fell to the ground with a splash, rolled, and then stood up.

A stream of true energy swirled around him and evaporated the water on him.

The whole space was filled with the fragrance of the evaporated Spring of Life.

"This should be the source of the Spring of Life..."

Bu Fang was astonished. It never occurred to him that there was something else under the water.

The place seemed to be a world of its own.

The origin water of the Spring of Life should be here.

Bu Fang kept quiet. In his spirit sea, the golden text burst into light.

His mental force spread out instantly like countless invisible tentacles, allowing him to see everything in this mysterious space.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and turned to a specific direction.

He began walking. Soon, he arrived at the place he sensed.

It was a stone chamber.

The chamber was filled with crystal-like objects, where liquid seemed to flow.

"What are these things?" Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, puzzled.

"They are crystal fruits of life produced by the source of the Spring of Life. Containing a rich life force, they melt when exposed to water and evaporate when exposed to fire. They are a kind of rare pseudo-sacred-grade immortal ingredient," the system's serious voice rang out in Bu Fang's head.

Bu Fang was surprised. He didn't know that there was such a magical spirit fruit.

These crystals were actually spirit fruits.

His hand reached out and picked up a crystal.

With a thought, he opened his mouth and breathed a ball of white flame.

As soon as the flame touched the crystal, it evaporated and disappeared, leaving behind a rich fragrance in the air.

It appeared to be an excellent ingredient. It was not a sacred grade immortal ingredient, but a pseudo-sacred-grade immortal ingredient was not bad either.

Bu Fang sent out his divine perception, wrapped all the crystal fruits of life with it, and threw them into his farmland.

After putting away all the crystal fruits, he found something else.

There was a bronze bowl beneath the fruits, which contained a silvery liquid.

The liquid seemed to be jiggling, giving him a bizarre feeling.

He squinted at it and sent out his mental force. However, his mental force was devoured as soon as it got into contact with the liquid.

"Oh?" That shocked Bu Fang.

Suddenly, two tiny silver dragons crawled up and perched on the bronze bowl's rim, staring at him.

When Bu Fang turned his eyes at them, they melted back into a silvery liquid.

"Are they the source of the Spring of Life?"

Bu Fang watched with a curious look on his face as the two silver dragons took their shapes from time to time, swimming in the bowl as if they were playing.

He walked next to the bowl and reached out a hand, wanting to pick it up.

However, he found that the bowl was extremely heavy, and he could not lift it at all.

Someone should have sealed the source of the Spring of Life here.

Bu Fang frowned and carefully studied the bronze bowl.

The person who set the seal obviously felt that no one could break it.

As he observed the bowl, Bu Fang suddenly gasped, and his expression became somewhat weird.

He sat cross-legged down in front of the bowl.

Meanwhile, the two tiny silver dragons perched at the rim and stared curiously at him.

Bu Fang closed his eyes, unleashed his divine perception, and lifted a hand. His mental force kept gathering in his palm and quickly formed into a magic array.

After that, he took out a crystal fruit of life, sent the array into it, and threw the fruit into the bowl.

The next moment, the liquid in the bowl began to boil!

"Sure enough... Someone had carved an Imprison Gourmet Array at the bottom of this bowl!"

As soon as the crystal fruit of life, which contained a magic array, was thrown into the bowl, the array in it was destroyed.

Bu Fang tried to pick up the bronze bowl again. This time, he was able to do it, and the two tiny dragons immediately crawled into his palm. Right after that, the silver liquid in the bowl disappeared.

It turned out that the Imprison Gourmet Array could also be used like this!

The two tiny silver dragons were the source of the Spring of Life. Staring at them, the corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched slightly.

He took out the Immortal Tree seedling, the one that belonged to him, and gave it to the dragons.

Immediately, they held it and happily played with it, as if they had found a new toy.

Threads of silvery energy could be seen penetrating the seed through the surface...

After absorbing the silvery life energy, the lifeless-looking seedling finally transformed.
