Crack, crack…
The golden cocoon was the crystallization of energy, a product after energy had reached a certain level of concentration. However, its essence had all been absorbed by Bu Fang. At this moment, it was as brittle as a biscuit, so it broke apart with just a light slap.

Soon, the cocoon was completely shattered, revealing Bu Fang’s figure. Wearing the Vermilion Robe and his hair tied with a velvet rope, he looked refreshed as if he had just taken a bath. He seemed to grow a little taller—his body becoming longer—but he was still as lean as before.
On the whole, he had not changed much. If forced to point out the most obvious change in him, perhaps it was his temperament.
Lord Dog widened his eyes as he stared at Bu Fang.

After emerging from the cocoon, Bu Fang’s aura had become more restrained. Of course, in Lord Dog’s eyes, his cultivation base was still rubbish because he was still a Demigod. Although he had merged with the Heavengod skeleton, his cultivation base had not changed much.
Bu Fang was holding another Heavengod skeleton in his hand. It belonged to the female Heavengod. He considered for a while, then with a thought, he put it into the Heaven and Earth Farmland and buried it under the Immortal Tree. Now that he had merged with the male Heavengod skeleton, it would be like separating the couple if he left the female here.
It was not good to separate a couple, and he thought it might be the best option to bury it in the farmland because the farmland was always inside him.
Lord Dog clicked his tongue and looked at Bu Fang, studying him from top to bottom. Even though Bu Fang’s cultivation did not improve, Lord Dog was able to sense a terrible force within him, which was a force given to him by the Heavengod skeleton.
“Boy… Now that you have merged with the Heavengod skeleton, you will have the body of a Heavengod once you break through to the God realm. This is incredible!” Lord Dog said. “By the way, when are you going to become a God? You have comprehended three supreme laws of the Universe…” he asked, puzzled.
In fact, this was not just his question, but the question of many people. ‘Is Bu Fang boy aiming to comprehend all five supreme Laws? That is such a crazy idea… and terrifying!’
Bu Fang glanced at Lord Dog, then nodded as if in acknowledgment of what he was thinking. This made Lord Dog twitch his mouth. “Young man…don’t be overly ambitious. The supreme Laws of the Universe are hard to come by.”
Bu Fang nodded again, his face expressionless. ‘Yes, they are hard to come by…’ Touching his chin, he thought, ‘I’d better wait until I leave this relic before eating the Fruit of Law. I wonder which supreme Law of the Universe I will comprehend this time…
‘The remaining supreme Laws are Time and Life. After eating the fruit, I should be able to comprehend one of them. Oh, right, I also need to cook a dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu. The System had told me this, but I’ve rejected it… It seems that I’ll be very busy after leaving here…’
Bu Fang sighed. If truth be told, he just wanted to sit on the lounge chair in front of the restaurant, basking in the sun and enjoying his daily life. How comfortable that would be. His life would be beautiful if he could just cook every day, bask in the sun, and play with Lord Dog occasionally.
Unfortunately, the path of becoming a God of Cooking was not that smooth, and he had to work hard for it.
“Let’s go. There’s nothing left in this relic,” Lord Dog said.
Bu Fang nodded. The next moment, he raised his jade-like palm. While it was still unknown as to what benefits he had received after merging with the Heavengod skeleton, his skin had become significantly fairer. With a ripping sound, the Law of Space exploded out, and a spatial rift was torn open before them. Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and stepped into it. Lord Dog followed, carrying the Heavengod bone and strutting his elegant cat-like steps.
…
What was a calamity? Until then, no one knew. Everyone only knew that it was exceptionally terrifying, a means for the Will of the Universe to punish those who had touched the barrier.
The Xiayi Divine Emperor hovered in midair. He felt that his body was bursting. Although he had great strength, he could not use it. At this moment, one bone spike after another thrust out of his body, riddling him and giving him a hideous look.
‘So this is the calamity? Is that all?’ The Divine Emperor sneered. Even though his blood was gushing out of him, he was still smiling.
Up in the sky, the huge black hole was spinning as if a great terror was brewing inside. Xia Yuhe showed no signs of fear. He raised a hand and swept it across his body, causing those bone spikes to explode.
Down below, everyone was trembling as chills went down their backs.
After getting rid of the bone spikes, the Divine Emperor stared fearlessly at the huge black hole with gleaming eyes. He could not wait for the calamity to descend. How terrible was the calamity that had tormented him for centuries?
A humming sound could be heard when suddenly, the Divine Emperor felt a sharp pain in his head, causing his eyes to turn red in an instant. It was a calamity that acted upon the divine sense, and he felt as though his divine sense was pierced by countless steel needles. The torture was no less painful than being pierced in the flesh by bone spikes. It was like the cruelest torture in the world!
A roar rang out and spread across the sky, filling all the experts in the capital with horror. The next moment, rumbling filled the air as the great terror finally emerged from the whirlpool. Clatters of iron hooves gradually echoed out of the black hole, while dark clouds began to gather from all directions.
For a moment, an eerie silence reigned the world, and all they could hear was the clatter of iron hooves.
“What’s coming out?” Many people were looking at the sky and taking deep breaths. Soon, they saw… an army in the dark, which was materialized of… the Power of Law! With its appearance, the terrible Power of Law spread and filled the sky!
The Divine Emperor, dripping with blood, looked at the army with a blank face. He was stunned, as the army was exactly like the Xiayi Cavalry who had accompanied him in conquering countless great worlds of the Chaotic Universe in those years! It turned out that the calamity he was facing when he finally stepped into his twilight years was his proudest cavalry!
Was he destined to be killed by his own army? He narrowed his eyes and let out a howl of defiance.
“Charge!” the soldiers cried out as they charged madly toward the Divine Emperor. For a moment, the power of various Laws spread and filled the sky. A rumbling sound echoed out as thunderbolts gathered and descended in blinding flashes, turning into soldiers on horses who joined the charge.
In just the blink of an eye, the Divine Emperor was drowned by the cavalry and engulfed by the Power of Law. He bit his lip with determination in his eyes. He did not say a word but kept attacking, throwing many soldiers off horsebacks with each blow. However, these Laws were indestructible—they always regrouped after being blown apart, and then they would drown the Divine Emperor again.
Down below, the eyes of Gold Armor and Black Armor turned red as they watched. They felt the Divine Emperor’s helplessness!
“Dammit!” Gold Armor cursed, his eyes surging with the desire to fight. With a clanging sound, he drew the long knife hanging from his waist. “How can we let His Majesty fight the cavalry alone? Listen up, Gold Armor Guard! Follow me to the sky!” he bellowed, boiling with rage.
King Pingyang, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his blood boil as well, his eyes shot with blood. At this moment, he recalled the memory of following the Divine Emperor in conquering all those great worlds. He rose to his feet, and with a thought, he took out a spear he had put away for a long time. It was given to him by the Divine Emperor. Today, he would go to war with the Divine Emperor again in his aging body!
The eyes of all the veteran courtiers in the capital were red, and they could not wait to fly into the sky and join the battle. No calamity could stop them from fighting beside their Divine Emperor!
In the distance, Soul Two and Soul Three were shaking.
“This is the Will of the Chaotic Universe… I can’t believe these stupid humans are trying to fight the Will of the Chaotic Universe! They’re courting death!”
“They will all be crushed to bits and become our food!”
They were very excited. Although the Will of the Universe terrified them, they could not help but swallow at the thought of their meal.
Rumble!
Gold Armor could not hold back his anger anymore. Behind him, three thousand Gold Armor Guards had finished assembling. The next moment, loud cries filled the air as one figure after another shot up into the sky. Gold Armor led the charge, holding a golden sword as his golden armor glittered dazzlingly.
However, the moment they flew toward the sky, the Divine Emperor—drowned by soldiers and the Power of Law—fought his way out, focused his eyes, and threw a palm toward them. “Get back there, all of you! This is my calamity! You want to get yourself killed?” he growled, his voice exploding like thunder.
Gold Armor felt his blood and energy rock violently as the palm knocked him back and threw him to the ground with a loud bang.
Rumble!
The Divine Emperor threw out a punch, blowing hundreds of figures conjured of the Power of Law into pieces, his aura fluctuating violently. This was the Heavengod Punch he invented, as he used to think that he was comparable to the Heavengods. Now, it just seemed ridiculous. He kept punching, and his eyes were all red as if he was somewhat lost in that frantic slaughtering.
In the distance, Soul Two and Soul Three were breathing black smoke and looked somewhat tempted to make a move. At a glance, they knew the Divine Emperor was at the end of his tether, and he could not survive this calamity. If they could devour his flesh while he was dying, they might be able to break through to the Soul Overlord realm!
They exchanged a glance and saw the excitement in each other’s eyes. “Let’s go!” Soul Two said to Soul Three. Then, the two figures turned into black threads and shot toward the Xiayi Divine Emperor, heading straight at his brow!
Suddenly, the void in front of Soul Two and Soul Three broke apart, and a lean figure and a black dog stepped out of it.
“Oh?” As if they could sense the approaching black smoke, Bu Fang and Lord Dog turned their heads slightly and looked at Soul Two and Soul Three. “These are… Soul Demons?” Bu Fang said lightly.
Lord Dog’s mouth was slightly open, and he had the Heavengod bone in his paw. “These disgusting creatures are just everywhere… Try Lord Dog’s bone attack!” Lord Dog did not have any good feelings toward these creatures. Without saying too much, he was going to thrust the bone and smash them.
However, just as he was about to move, Bu Fang flicked his fingers. As his nail rubbed across his finger pad, a silver flame shot out instantly. It turned into a dragon, opened its mouth, and swooped down toward Soul Two and Soul Three.
The two Soul Demons never expected that a man and a dog would suddenly appear before them. The Law of Space was truly worthy of its amazing ability to travel through the void.
“A Demigod trying to fight us with a tiny flame? You will become our food!” Soul Two sneered. Naturally, he could tell Bu Fang’s cultivation base. The black dog worried him a little, though. However, it was the Demigod who made the move now, and he could easily kill this weak human being!
A plume of black smoke spread and turned into a large millstone, crushing toward Bu Fang! Soul Two wanted to extinguish the flame and devour this Demigod!
If Soul Thirteen were here now, he would definitely warn Soul Two. After all, Soul Thirteen had suffered many times under Bu Fang’s hand. Unfortunately, he was not here…
Under Bu Fang’s control, the Divine flame turned into a silver divine dragon, slithering across the void with its mouth open. A dragon roar seemed to echo out as it collided with Soul Two and Soul Three.
Roar!
The next moment, the expressions of Soul Two and Soul Three changed dramatically!
