Chapter 1212 The Culinary Gates of Life and Death

Qilin meat tasted somewhat similar to Dragon meat, but it had more fat and was more cloying, making it more suitable as the main ingredient for the Sweet and Sour Meat than dragon meat.Dragon meat tasted better when cooked in the style of Drunken Spare Ribs because of its crunchiness. Qilin meat, on the other hand, was rich and greasy, but it was more fragrant, and its soft and moist texture was refreshing for the palate.

However, the most valuable part of a Qilin was its bones, not the meat. It contained Qilin’s essence, and if the bones were used to make soup, the essence would infuse into the broth and sublimate the dish.

Bu Fang picked up a piece of Sweet and Sour Meat with his chopsticks. It was coated with a layer of orange sauce, and as it was removed from the plate, sticky liquid dripped from it. He put it into his mouth and closed his teeth around it. The crispy skin was softened after stir-frying, so his teeth bit through it straight away and met the tender Qilin meat. After it was bitten, grease flowed out of it and rushed into his mouth.

Bu Fang’s eyes lit up slightly. It was the first time he tasted Qilin meat. He had tried Dragon meat many times, and he found that Qilin meat was fatter compared with Dragon meat.

After tasting the Qilin meat, he picked up a piece of Ananas fruit that he had cut into a triangular shape. The fruit tasted sweet and sour and was crunchy, making it a suitable complement to the meat’s lack of crunchiness.

Bu Fang nodded as he ate.

Far off, a terrible fluctuation erupted.

All eyes turned to that direction with looks of disbelief.

Ye Yun wore a terrified expression. He found that a mighty aura had targeted him. It seemed to shine onto his soul, and no matter how he struggled, he could not get rid of it. He knew the aura. It was the aura of death.

“I don’t want to die! I haven’t become a Divine Chef yet! How could I die here?!” he roared. His face was all twisted, and a savage look replaced his calm and noble air. Nobody could remain calm in the face of death.

“Haha! Stop struggling… Be good and become my food! I’ll cook your flesh into a delicious dish!” Opposite Ye Yun, an Abyssal Demon burst into laughter, showing his sharp teeth.

Boom!

Ye Yun’s expression changed drastically. He turned and was about to run when a terrible force smashed him to the ground. Right after that, bone spears shot over and pierced his body.

Slash!

The genius’s face turned deathly pale as blood poured out of him. As a Little Saint, he had strong vitality. However, as soon as he was pierced, he felt his strength leave him at an incredible rate as if it was drained by those bone spears.

In the blink of an eye, those spears stacked up on top of one another, turned into a huge bony palm, and covered Ye Yun.

With a look of unwillingness and terror, Ye Yun reached out both hands and struggled. “Help me… Help me!” He turned his eyes to Ying Ya, who watched in the distance with a serious face.

As the number of bone spears kept increasing, however, he was soon fully covered, and his gaze also gradually disappeared.

Very quickly, Ye Yun was completely devoured.

A wriggling sound seemed to echo out under the bone spears. Before long, they turned into a bone rack, on top of which was placed a chunk of meat. Ye Yun’s bones had mixed into the bones that made up the arena.

With a bloodless face, Ying Ya gasped in horror and felt cold all over. He was not very nervous, but that had changed after watching what just happened. He didn’t expect Ye Yun to lose to an Abyssal Demon in cooking.

The cost of losing in the Chef’s Challenge was death.

Ye Yun’s cooking skills were almost on the same level as his. If even Ye Yun had lost the challenge, what did that mean to Ying Ya?

It meant that even he might lose the challenge.

Ying Ya took a deep breath, and he felt his heart begin to race.

Lub-dub! Lub-dub!

Pressing a hand against his chest, he turned his eyes to Bu Fang.

Bu Fang picked up a piece of Double Cooked Meat with his chopsticks and shoved it into his mouth. While chewing it, he looked up and met Ying Ya’s eyes.

The dish tasted totally different from his Sweet and Sour Meat. He was surprised by its crispiness, and most importantly, it was mixed with a sweet and sour flavor. He had to admit that the Abyssal Demon’s cooking skills were excellent and comparable to that of a Qilin Chef. The dish contained the unique styles of the demon’s race, but there were still many flaws.

After comparing the two dishes, Bu Fang managed to figure out what made him win the challenge. If truth be told, the gap between his dish and the Abyssal Demon’s dish was not large. He was somewhat lucky to be the winner.

A miserable shriek rang out in the distance.

Realm Lord Di Tai sat down on the ground, panting violently. He won, but it was a narrow victory. With a lingering fear in his heart, he turned to look at Bu Fang with an excited look on his face.

The result of Ying Ya’s arena was revealed as well. He won the challenge. The tension in his heart was finally released, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Putting away the Abyssal Demon meat, he glanced at Bu Fang and Realm Lord Di Tai. His face grew serious once again. He didn’t expect that the two chefs from the Immortal Cooking Realm would reach this far…

This result had completely deviated from their original intention!

‘It doesn’t matter… I will completely crush these Immortal Chefs and obtain the Divine Chef’s inheritance!’

RUMBLE!

All of a sudden, the bone arena began to shake violently. Bu Fang ate another piece of Sweet and Sour Meat and arched his eyebrows. The next moment, the arena collapsed with a boom, disintegrating into countless bones that wheeled in the air.

“Congratulations on passing the second assessment…”

A pair of golden eyes appeared in the void, while a great pressure spread out of it and blanketed everyone.

“The third assessment will now begin…”

As Bu Fang and the others stared in amazement, the bones in the air quickly gathered and formed into three huge demon mouths. The atmosphere became more stagnant and tense after the three arenas transformed into three gaping demon mouths.

The three of them came in front of the demon mouths and looked into the holes.

Just now, they had experienced the horror of the arenas. Ye Yun, a Little Saint, was devoured by those bones, turned into a chunk of meat, and taken away by an Abyssal Demon. The impact on them was huge. They knew that it would never be simple to obtain the Divine Chef’s inheritance, but they never expected that it would be so cruel and that failure would mean death.

Instead of fear, however, this had aroused their curiosity to peek inside the black holes. Of course, they were mainly driven by the benefits of the Divine Chef’s inheritance. From the beginning, the inheritance had shown its charm that no one could refuse.

The pressure coming from the golden eyes was terrible, making the three of them shiver.

“The third assessment will now begin… You will enter the Culinary Gates of Life and Death. Those who pass the gates will be rewarded with Dark Qilin Bone,” a muffled voice echoed through the air and thundered in their ears.

Bu Fang and the others exchanged glances and didn’t know what to say. The three dark demon mouths looked like the entrances that would lead them to death, filling their hearts with doubt.

Should they enter or not?

After hesitating, they had to make the decision.

Realm Lord Di Tai had a determined look in his eyes. No matter what he would face, he would step into the gate. The Immortal Cooking Realm needed a Divine Chef. To achieve this goal, he had gone through countless life and death situations. He couldn’t give up out of fear of death. This was not his style.

“Bu Fang, boy, I wish you the best of luck. I’ll enter the gate first. If I don’t come out alive, you must inherit my… art of nudity.” Realm Lord Di Tai waved at Bu Fang, then chose one of the three dark demon mouths and stepped into it.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched involuntarily. ‘The art of nudity… Keep that thing for yourself. I’m not interested,’ he thought.

Ying Ya took a deep breath. He had made it this far, and naturally, he wouldn’t give up. He stepped into another demon’s mouth. Soon, he disappeared into the boundless darkness.

Only Bu Fang was left now. The demon mouth cast a shadow on him like some bad omen.

Wasting no time, he clasped his hands behind his back and stepped into the last gate. He wanted to see what was inside the Culinary Gates of Life and Death.

City Lord Meng Qi stood beneath the Stairway of Culinary Arts, looking at the beating heart with a calm expression. She knew that with her talent, she could not pass the stairway. She glanced around and sighed softly.

Suddenly, a repulsive force filled the void. Meng Qi felt her body being pushed out of this space, and with a loud boom, the scene before her changed abruptly. She was thrown away like a missile, the wind filling her ears as everything in her eyes blurred. The next moment, she found that she had fallen onto an open field surrounded by clouds of rolling sand.

Far off, the golden light pillar towered into the sky. However, it was beginning to disappear in her eyes.

Rumble!

Liu Ya gave up and was hit by a terrible force, sending him flying backward. It made him cough blood and drop to one knee.

The eyes of the two Judges were full of killing intent. When they saw Meng Qi, who was thrown out of the space, they smiled evilly.

“Capture these two people and bring them back to Abyss City… We’ll use them to lure those people when they come out of the inheritance.”

BAM!

As soon as the Judge said that, Liu Ya was pressed to the ground by someone. Meng Qi, on the other hand, behaved calmly and told those law enforcers that she would follow them.

Blood-red chains swept over and bound around Meng Qi and Liu Ya’s bodies. After that, they were brought away by many law enforcers.

Wearing a cold expression with his hands clasped behind his back, a figure fully clad in a blood-colored robe stood on top of a cliff near the Abyss’s entrance.

Suddenly, bright rays flashed and flickered at the bottom of the Abyss. After that, figures flew up and came to the cliff.

Three Judges appeared, followed by a group of law enforcers who surrounded Meng Qi and Liu Ya.

“Oh? Where’s Blood Three?” the Great Judge asked in a faint voice without looking at them.

The three Judges looked at each other hesitantly, and at last, one of them said, “Someone killed him.”

“Those people from the Nether Prison’s younger generation who can kill Blood Three haven’t turned up yet, have they?” said the Great Judge.

The three Judges didn’t know how to answer that. At last, they explained the situation.

Blood Three was killed by a Nine-star True Immortal, and they didn’t know how to explain it. It was a joke that a Two-revolution Little Saint was killed by a mere Nine-star True Immortal. Most embarrassingly, they let the boy get away…

“Rubbish! I’ll give you three days. If you can’t kill the rest of the Nether Prison geniuses and the boy who killed Blood Three, don’t bother coming back,” the Great Judge said coldly. “The plan is about to be in full swing, and I don’t want any accident… This is our only chance to free the Abyss from the Nether Prison’s control. We can only succeed, not fail!”
