Gourmet of Another World - Chapter 1520
Chapter 1520: A Lost Nethery?
The ghostly green energy, the familiar feeling…
It really looked like Nethery.
Bu Fang’s eyes fixed on the stone coffin on the scenic mountain. The hand stretched out from it was pale and bloodless, but it was shrouded by ghostly green energy.
He was sure, however, that it was not Nethery. Although their energy seemed to be of the same origin, its aura was a bit odd and much stronger than Nethery’s. Most important of all, Nethery should be cultivating in the Divine Chef Temple now.
If it wasn’t Nethery, then who was the woman in this coffin? Was she the Cursed Goddess of the previous generation?
Bu Fang took a deep breath, thinking.
“At last, it showed up! The existence that ranks top on the Blood Beast King List… I can finally get a good look at it!” Yu Qiu, the Sword God, chuckled. He put his forefinger and middle finger together to form what looked like the tip of a sword. Countless swords hovered around him, each one condensed by the Power of Law, and his aura fluctuated, extremely terrible and sharp.
Xuan Kong was also watching curiously.
The space around the mountain seemed to freeze as the attack from the four top experts all stopped in midair, unable to advance any further. This trick seemed somewhat magical.
Slowly, the existence in the coffin sat up, looking as if it had finally awakened from a long sleep. As her long hair tumbled down, the crowd was shocked to find that it was not some peerless monster but a weak, lifeless woman…
Everyone was stunned. The existence ranked top on the Blood Beast King List was actually… a woman?
Yu Qiu paused, and the swords around him stopped moving. On the other hand, Xuan Kong’s jaw dropped open, and his expression became a little odd. How could it be a woman?
The Demon Mammoth did not care if the existence in the coffin was a woman or not. To him, there was no difference between a woman and a man—they were both human! He could not believe that the strongest of their Blood Beast Kings was actually a human being! It was a disgrace, and he was going to wash it away!
Rumble!
He lifted his trunk and, with a burst of terrible force, lashed it out at the weak woman sitting in the coffin down below!
A ghostly green glow surrounded the woman, and her energy was countless times more powerful than Nethery’s. With a rumble, the ghostly green energy turned into a stream of light and lashed out, smashing the void and instantly shattering the attack from the four top experts! Then, without losing any of its speed or power, it continued rushing toward the trunk.
Boom!
A terrible explosion erupted. The Demon Mammoth felt as though his trunk was about to burst apart as a large amount of blood kept pouring out from his nostrils. With just one move, the woman had injured his trunk! A look of horror finally came over his face.
With a creak, the lid of the coffin opened completely, and the woman sitting inside stood up. She was clad in a white dress, and together with her long black hair and blue face, she looked like a corpse.
“It’s a corpse!” Yu Qiu’s face became very grave. “It has developed its own sentience and turned into a beast, so it’s not too much to say that it’s a Blood Beast King…”
“Since it’s a beast… I don’t need to pull my punches any more!” Xuan Kong said. His gaze focused, and the next moment, rumbling sounds burst out of his body as if there were thunder raging inside him. Then, he sped down like a falling star, tearing through the sky toward the woman at lightning speed.
Rumbling sounds rang out as Xuan Kong’s body smashed on the top of the mountain. Violent waves of air rushed out in every direction, and the entire mountaintop was completely blown away. For a moment, countless trees were uprooted, and a great amount of earth was thrown into the sky.
Focusing his eyes, Xuan Kong put the terrifying power of the Law of Destruction into his fist and threw it at the dead woman!
“Holy Body Punch!” he thundered.
The dead woman turned to Xuan Kong. She did not speak but raised her hand stiffly. With a thud, her palm collided with Xuan Kong’s fist, and suddenly, a ring of ghostly green light spread out of it.
Xuan Kong’s blood ran cold, and a surge of fear rose from the bottom of his heart, washing him over. “This is…” Without a moment’s hesitation, he shot up to the sky with a wary look on his face. Then, he looked down at his fist and saw ghostly green energy spread over it.
“This is the curse power! This dead woman is a Cursed Goddess! Dammit!”
To his horror, Xuan Kong noticed that his arm was being corroded. A humming sound could be heard as a Wheel of Law appeared over his head, pressing down on his arm to force the curse power out of it.
Cursed Goddess?
That useless Cursed Goddess?
Many people gasped. Of course, they knew the legend about Cursed Goddesses. They were rare, as only one was born every age, but they were not very powerful. So, a lot of people actually did not pay much attention to this legend.
However, the Cursed Goddess before them had just repelled a top-grade God King. Didn’t she seem too powerful?
In the sky, the Rainbow Butterfly moved. As her wings flapped, seven-colored light drifted out from under them, turning into a colorful mist to envelop the dead woman.
Down below, the dead woman looked up, her hair whipping in the wind. She raised a hand, spread her fingers, and her black nails began to grow longer. Then, she threw the palm out at the sky. A stream of ghostly green light shot out in an instant and stained the Rainbow Butterfly’s mist ghostly green.
Buzz…
Suddenly, the Rainbow Butterfly’s body also turned ghostly green. It took only a moment for her to get used to the dead woman’s energy. She was best at assimilating different energies.
She sped forward, her colossal body filled with terrifying power. Then, in just the blink of an eye, she closed in on the dead woman, her wings flapping down like the sharpest knives. She wanted to cut the woman into pieces!
Clang!
The dead woman reached out her hand and caught the butterfly’s wings, producing the clanging noise of metal on metal.
At this moment, the Demon Mammoth came stepping through the void, avoided the Rainbow Butterfly, and slammed his feet down toward the dead woman.
Even Yu Qiu did not dare to be careless when facing the attack of the two top-grade Blood Beast Kings, but the dead woman was incomparably violent. She blocked the butterfly with one hand, then threw out the other to slap the Demon Mammoth.
Rumble!
A terrible collision erupted. The whole mountain was shaking, but what amazed the crowd was that even after being hit by such a powerful explosion, it was not destroyed or razed to the ground!
Something was wrong! There was definitely something very wrong here! Many people looked astonished, their eyes gleaming brightly.
Yu Qiu and Xuan Kong joined the attack too. Soon, four top-grade God Kings were fighting the dead woman in the sky. Terrible turbulence swept through the entire area as rumbling sounds rang without end. It was a terrifying battle, and most people could only watch from afar.
Suddenly, some people’s expressions changed dramatically as they saw the four top experts retreat at top speed in the sky!
Yu Qiu’s face became very unsightly. All the swords around him were tainted with a ghostly green color, which was the curse power, and it was eroding his swords. Xuan Kong’s fists were also covered in green.
On the other hand, the Rainbow Butterfly’s aura was fluctuating violently, while the Demon Mammoth’s entire body was covered with green patches.
Sure enough, there was a great terror in that dead woman. Her eyes were tightly shut, and she never opened them even when she was attacked by the four top-grade experts.
“She’s… so fearsome!” Summer swallowed and said in horror.
“This dead woman… Is she really just a corpse? She’s so strong even when she’s dead, so how terrifying should she be when she’s alive?” Luo Sanniang felt a chill run through her body.
Bu Fang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took a deep breath. He recognized that ghostly green light, which was the same origin as Nethery’s power.
‘She’s indeed a Cursed Goddess… Why is the body of a Cursed Goddess here? What secrets lie in this relic?’
“Fight!”
Xuan Kong was very angry. He roared, and his body burst into dazzling golden light. Then, he began to grow larger and larger, and in just an instant, he was ten thousand feet tall. Standing proudly in the sky, his whole body radiated a fiery aura like a colossal oven.
The next moment, he threw a punch at the dead woman. Filled with the Power of Law, the fist was condensed by more than two thousand Laws. A dreadful aura spread instantly as if to destroy heaven and earth!
As an existence ranked second on the God King List, Xuan Kong’s strength was incredibly mighty. Even Yu Qiu would tremble when he unleashed his full power.
The dead woman raised her hand, her black nails growing longer and longer, and collided it with Xuan Kong’s punch. The power of more than two thousand Laws came crashing down from the sky and burst the mountain beneath her feet! Rumbling sounds filled the air as a large amount of earth was thrown into the sky, while countless boulders rolled down the foot of the mountain.
Everyone gasped the moment the mountain exploded. They were horrified to find that the treasures and secrets of the Heavengod… were all hidden beneath it!
The mountain, which had lost all its soil, finally revealed its true nature. It was actually two complete skeletons of the Heavengods! Above them were two mini oceans, filled with the power of countless Laws, while at their center was a wisp of milky white gas.
Those were the Seas of Laws belonging to the Heavengods, and the wisp of gas was… the Chaotic Energy!
“This is the Heavengod’s treasure!”
The gatekeeper’s eyes suddenly burst with burning desire and greed! He had been searching for ten thousand years for this Heavengod’s treasure, for the sliver of a chance to become a Heavengod!
“The treasure is mine!”
The Heavengod’s treasure finally appeared, and everyone could no longer hold themselves back. Even though the dead woman’s strength was overwhelming, they were fearless in the face of this great temptation!
Shrill whistles filled the air as Blood Beast Kings and human God Kings all rushed madly toward the two complete skeletons of the Heavengods! Anyone who fused with the Heavengod’s skeleton could have the body of a Heavengod, and the wisp of Chaotic Energy was the only chance for a person to become a Heavengod!
There was a great temptation in all this. Even Yu Qiu’s eyes were shot with blood! In front of such a precious treasure, no one could control their emotions.
Meanwhile, in the unknown distance, the ground slowly cracked open, and wisps of black smoke slowly leaked out from the rifts. Then, one after another, the heads of mysterious creatures emerged, their crimson eyes locked on the shocking scene.
…
A rumble rang out, and the void was torn. Lord Dog walked out of it with his cat-like steps, narrowing his eyes and watching as the scene played out before him. Directly across from him, an arm stretched out from the void. Then, a figure shrouded in mist hovered in midair, his gaze flickering as he stared into the distance.
The competition had become hotter and hotter. Countless experts scrambled toward the Heavengod’s treasure. Even the gatekeeper, strong as he was, was in a frenzy. At this moment, the dead woman hovering over the Heavengod’s skeletons looked rather lonely and desolate, and it seemed that she would be drowned by many experts at any moment.
Crack… Crack…
She raised her arm and slowly opened her eyes, which were as black as ink without the whites. They looked exactly the same as Nethery’s when Bu Fang first met her.
Rumble!
All kinds of terrible attacks from both Blood Beast Kings and human God Kings filled the sky and came crashing down instantly.
Suddenly, the void in front of the dead woman trembled, slowly cracked open, and then a black ship sailed out of it. A young girl in a black dress was sitting at the bow, swinging her long fair legs.
That took everyone by surprise, but no one cared. In the face of their terrifying attack, the girl was like a tiny boat in an ocean, and she could be wiped out at any moment.
The dead woman, the young girl on the ship, and the wild beasts and people all over the sky formed a rather strange picture.
Luo Sanniang and Summer were dumbfounded. They naturally recognized the young girl on the ship.
Far away in the sky, Lord Dog bared his teeth and looked confused.
“Is Nethery… lost?”
Bu Fang’s aura suddenly surged, and even the velvet rope that bound his hair broke apart. Fixing his eyes on the girl who came through the void on a ship, his face grew extremely serious.
“Nethery?!”
