Gourmet of Another World

The spiciness of the shredded dragon meat that exploded like a nuclear bomb in Nicholas’ mouth stunned him. The spicy taste stimulated his tear glands, causing teardrops to roll down his cheeks and drip on the ground.

‘I want the taste of love, not the taste of spicy… Is this cub stupid or what?!’

The strong spicy taste made him feel hard to breathe, while his face had even turned dark purple. However, as time went by, his complexion slowly returned to normal.

As he chewed, the cold, smooth dragon meat bounced in his mouth, and the spiciness transformed into a flavor that made him feel very comfortable. His eyes grew a little confused as some distant memory came back to him.

At that time, he was just a small dragon, flying through the mountains and playing in the fields every day, enjoying the feel of the wind blowing over every scale on him. There were many other golden dragons around him as well, and they lived happily and carefree together. The peaceful feeling seemed to be the simplest taste of love…

Nicholas squatted on the ground, eating the spicy shredded dragon meat and shedding tears. He was weeping not because of the spiciness, but because of sentiment. The sentiment contained in the dish made him unable to contain his emotions.

He wanted to burst into a rage of tears, but he found that he could not do it. Only this bowl of spicy shredded dragon meat could let him vent his inner emotions.

A delicious dish could let people vent the emotions that were repressed deep in them. A great chef was not only a great cook but also an experienced emotional manipulator.

The crowd outside the interrogation room was dumbfounded. They did not know what to say, watching Nicholas squatting on the floor eating a dish until he was in tears. Was he weeping because the dish was so good? Was it really that exaggerated?

Suddenly, their eyes widened, and they leaned over the glass, looking intently into the room. In their astonished gaze, the blond man stood up, and then his whole body bloomed with a golden light. A dragon roar followed, ringing out of the room, causing everyone to take a step back in fear.

In the blink of an eye, the blond man had transformed into a golden dragon, slithering in the air and emitting a terrifying aura that seemed to make heaven and earth tremble.

“That… Is that a dragon?!”

Everyone stared in horror. They could not believe they had seen a real dragon!

“Senior is indeed fearsome! A random youth he brought back is actually a dragon!”

Nethery’s expression did not change much, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

In the room, Bu Fang held the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, looked at Nicholas, who had turned back to his golden dragon form, and exhaled softly. “Come back now,” he said.

The golden dragon gave Bu Fang a complicated look. He had recovered all his memories at this moment, so he did not refuse. With a dragon roar, he turned into a flash of gold and shot toward Bu Fang. In an instant, he wrapped around the kitchen knife and then burrowed into Bu Fang’s forehead.

The room became quiet, with only Bu Fang sitting on a chair. In front of him lay a pair of chopsticks and a plate of spicy shredded dragon meat that was partially eaten. There was a faint golden light flickering on his forehead, and the kitchen knife in his hand seemed to have regained its soul, emitting a glorious light like a real Divine Artifact.

With a thought, his consciousness went into his spirit sea. Inside, the Vermilion Bird was crowing, the White Tiger was roaring, and the Golden Divine Dragon was hovering between them. Nicholas the Handsome Dragon had finally returned, and Bu Fang’s aura had become even more powerful.

Of the four Artifact Spirits, three had returned. Now only the Black Turtle was left. Once he returned, Bu Fang’s strength would definitely go through a qualitative transformation. He had a feeling that the transformation would be extraordinary.

In reality, Bu Fang opened his eyes and put away the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. Then, he picked up some shredded meat with the chopsticks and put them in his mouth. As he began to chew, he seemed to hear a rumbling sound and feel as if his mind was about to explode. At the same time, all kinds of images appeared in front of his eyes…

The spicy taste irritated Bu Fang and made him raise his head, while a glistening teardrop fell from the corner of his eyes. The dish was really delicious.

The people outside the room opened the door and came in. Xiao Ai and the others were shocked when they found that the blond man had disappeared.

Nethery was not surprised. She just stared at the spicy shredded dragon meat in Bu Fang’s hand. She walked up to him, took the plate from him, then gave the dish a taste. When she began to chew the tender meat, she froze in place…

Curious about her reaction, Xiao Ai and the others asked Bu Fang if they could try, and he agreed. Soon, the whole dish was finished, and all those who had eaten it squatted on the ground, weeping.

They could not contain their emotions. After taking a bite of the dish, they recalled their past youth, the days when they were carefree. This was a magic dish!

God’s body was shattered. The episode was sensational to all cultivators on Earth. No one expected the body of a Saint of the Great Path to be destroyed by Bu Fang and Tongtian.

The battle had made Tongtian and Bu Fang famous overnight. Now no one dared to mess with Bu Fang anymore. After all, he was an existence who could fight a Saint.

Then came the news that made people even more excited: Tongtian had become a Saint of the Great Path. It was a piece of good news for everyone.

However, after returning to Penglai, the Sect Leader sat cross-legged down in a temple and announced that he would be in secluded cultivation and that no one should disturb him. Many of the Gods and Immortals who wanted to see him were turned away.

Time passed. The development of Earth had become very fast. The body of a Saint was shattered and turned into nutrients that nourished Earth, causing the number of cultivators to keep increasing.

As more and more cultivators appeared, many Gods and Immortals announced orthodox cultivation systems and began to accept disciples. Both the Immortals from Hua and the Western Gods attached great importance to these cultivators on Earth, who they deemed as a kind of resource.

As a result, Earth was transformed from a technological civilization to a cultivation civilization overnight. Of course, technology was still closely related to people’s lives.

Bu Fang did not know where Black Turtle was. He had been searching for almost half a month. He did not work alone—he had already used the superhumans of Jiangdong. Chief Luo promised that he would only need three days, but half a month had passed and he had not been able to find anything.

Where was the last Artifact Spirit?

Artifact Spirits could sense each other. White Tiger had used this method before when he asked Vermilion Bird for help. But the other Artifact Spirits simply could not sense Black Turtle’s location. It was as if he had deliberately cut off that connection.

Bu Fang even went to Penglai to ask Tongtian for help. For a moment, all the cultivators in Hua were looking for someone. However, no one could find anything. They knew neither his identity nor his location.

While Bu Fang was searching for Black Turtle, the portals around the world were going through terrible changes…

There was a huge black hole in the East Sea. It was like a natural wonder, hanging in the middle of the ocean and constantly spinning like a whirlpool. The surrounding water was falling into it like a waterfall.

Many Gods had come out of this black hole, including Gods of small and great countries, and even Immortals of Hua. After all, each portal was connected to several universes.

One day, the black hole’s spinning speed suddenly increased, and a continuous rumble could be heard coming out from it. The next moment, several wretched figures flew out from it. Their aura was very strong, and they were all wearing armor, though the armor was very worn and tattered at this moment.

After leaving the black hole, the men turned and looked at it, their faces filled with fear.

“We’re alive! We’ve escaped at last!” said one of the men in a sad voice, and he burst into tears of joy.

“Our universe is… destroyed! All the Gods, the Divine Generals, and the Supreme Emperor have fallen! Even the Saint of the Great Path has been swallowed alive…” said another man, who was trembling all over.

“Quick! Seal the portal!” shouted a heavily wounded expert in ragged armor. “We left Earth once, but now we’re back, and this will be our last home… We can’t let those demons invade it!”

The armor he wore seemed like the most advanced technology. With a click, the chest part separated, revealing a ruby. The next moment, a beam of scarlet light shot out of it and flew straight toward the black hole.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the distance. The men were startled and looked up in that direction at the same time.

There, a huge figure emerged over the undulating sea. He sat cross-legged on a green lotus, with a colorful ring of light behind his head. With his appearance, a terrifying force instantly descended, causing the group of men to drop to their knees.

“A… Saint of the Great Path?!”

They stared at the huge figure in disbelief, terrified and shocked by the fact that there was a Saint on the Ancestral Planet.

Tongtian looked at the wretched men indifferently. Just now, he had stopped their act of trying to seal the back hole with a casual slap.

“Greetings, Your Excellency! We are humans of the Atlantis Empire from the Atherian Universe! Demons have invaded our universe and destroyed it! Our Saint of the Great Path tried his best to resist the demons but was eventually devoured by them… We’ve no place to go but return to Earth! Please, Your Excellency, let us live!”

The experts who claimed to be from the Atlantis Empire knelt in midair and kept kowtowing toward Tongtian. They were all trembling with fear.

Tongtian glanced at them. They were not weak, but they were not too strong either. The only one who was slightly stronger among them was the man in silver armor, but his strength was only at the level of an Immortal-Emperor-to-be.

“Those demons have overrun the Atherian Universe and are likely to make their way to the Ancestral Planet through the portal…”

“Your Excellency, you should know that the Ancestral Planet has portals that connect the major universes. Once we let those demons descend here, it will be a disaster for all universes! They can use the Ancestral Planet as a stepping stone to travel to various universes and destroy all civilizations and kill all humans!”

They looked up at Tongtian sadly. They were not being alarmist. Only when one had seen the power of those demons could one understand their horror. Even their Saint of the Great Path was not their match, let alone them.

The Sect Leader pondered for a long time. Finally, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Seal off the portal now!” He put his index and middle fingers together and pointed them out. At the gesture, the four immortal swords and the sharp green sword rose into the sky and hovered above the black hole, emitting dazzling light and mighty power.

The mighty power of a Saint spread, and the black hole began to slowly close up. It seemed that the portal was about to disappear.

Those few experts from the Atlantis Empire breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them, whom the others called the prince, burst into tears of joy. They had survived!

Suddenly, just as they were rejoicing, Tongtian’s expression changed dramatically. The black hole stopped closing up, and then a terrifying bestial roar echoed out of it. As all watched in horror, the spinning black hole grew larger again.

The next moment, a black demon paw covered with scales and with sharp claws suddenly stretched out from it!
