“I’ll just look from the outside and not go inside…”

That, of course, was just Bu Fang’s casual remark. If this was really the place where the Artifact Spirit was sleeping, there was no way he would not go in. After all, he needed to wake up all the Artifact Spirits so that the G.o.d of Cooking Set could reach a perfect state.

With hands clasped behind his back, Bu Fang walked over the water. As the monk and the two Western superhumans watched with blank faces, he gradually stepped into the hazy mist.

Yu Ge did not know whether to laugh or cry. He knew Bu Fang would not just look from the outside. Even an Earth Immortal could not hold himself when such a rare opportunity lay before him.

In fact, if it were not for the top cultivators of each country restraining each other, it was likely that they would have all flocked here. After all, this spiritual energy sealing point was a.s.sociated with the real spiritual energy recovery, so no one would be willing to stand by and watch.

After seeing Bu Fang walk into the spiritual energy sealing point, the two superhumans from the West exchanged a glance. They both saw the grave look in each other’s eyes. Suddenly, their appearance changed at the same time.

The blond man’s blue eyes turned ghostly green, while a pair of wings that looked like bat wings emerged from his back. As they unfolded, a black demonic aura began to fill his surroundings. At the same time, his ears became pointy, and his teeth became razor sharp. It turned out that he was a vampire from the West!

The mixed beauty, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes slightly. The next moment, a blue scepter with a precious stone mounted on its top appeared in her hand. She was clearly a Western sorcerer!

Representing the superhumans of the West in hosting the compet.i.tion, the two of them naturally could not let Bu Fang ruin their plans. Even though Bu Fang was a Hua Qi cultivator who killed Yamata no Orochi of Sakura Island, they did not have the slightest fear.

With a humming sound, an invisible energy wave spread in all directions. The monk’s expression changed dramatically. “So you have prepared a backup plan!” His face was livid.

The vampire and the sorcerer exchanged a look and then laughed together.

“Master… You’d better take all the mortals on the Jewel and leave. The shock waves from the battle later will probably destroy the cruise s.h.i.+p. If you don’t take them away, there will be a lot of casualties!”

The monk’s face became somewhat unsightly after hearing the sorcerer say that in a rather sharp tone. There was no doubt that they were threatening him so that he had no other choice but to retreat.

Yu Ge was dumbfounded. He had not expected things to develop to this point.

A clear sound of footsteps could be heard as Chief Luo walked out of the cabin with a frown on his face, followed by several agents from his department.

At the sight of them, the beautiful sorcerer smiled. Then, she gave the ground a gentle tap with her scepter. A blast of cold air swept out in all directions as the s.h.i.+p’s deck began to freeze at a rate visible to the naked eye. The ice spread so fast that it seemed to free all the people on the deck.

Meanwhile, many fighter jets flew over from a distance. When they were above the cruise s.h.i.+p, numerous heavily armed Western superhumans jumped off from their wings.

These people were all vampires. As soon as they jumped out of the planes, the striped red-and-black cloaks behind them transformed into bat wings and kept them circling in midair. For a moment, it looked as if a large cloud of black smoke was quickly approaching the s.h.i.+p.

The mortals on board the Jewel had their perceptions of the world turned upside down. They had never been in such a situation before, and they were so terrified that they could only keep screaming.

“Vampires!”

“Those are real vampires!”

In addition to vampires, there was a horde of sorcerers flying out of the fighter jets on brooms. This was a team of sorcerers from the West.

Clearly, the Western superhumans were better prepared than those from Hua. They were even ready for when the veneer of mutual respect was torn off.

The monk’s face grew very unsightly. Yu Ge was frowning, while Chief Luo clenched one hand into a fist and rested the other on the gun at his waist. The situation was clear now: they were being forced to retreat by the Western superhumans.

“Let’s retreat… We’re losing out this time all because we’re too honest!” said the monk, sighing.

The Western superhumans all burst into laughter. A group of bats landed on the deck, transformed into vampires, and stepped into the cabin. A few moments later, horrified cries echoed out, then a few chefs were brought out by them.

“They are the three chefs who are most qualified to enter the top five of the cooking compet.i.tion. Together with the two chefs from our side… We now have enough chefs.”

The vampire leader smiled evilly. After that, all the vampires once again transformed into bats, rose into the sky, and flew toward the region on the sea that was blanketed in an immortal aura. The beautiful sorcerer with the blue scepter also flew up on a broom and followed the group of bats.

…

“Master, are we just going to give up?” Chief Luo was somewhat reluctant to admit defeat.

“What else can we do? Go in there and fight them? We can’t do that,” the monk said. “If we do push those vampires and sorcerers too hard and make them choose to fight us, we’re on the weak side. Besides…” he paused and sighed.

“Besides what?” Chief Luo’s eyes widened in anger. Did Hua’s superhumans have no choice but to swallow this?

The monk smiled wryly and pointed a finger to the sky.

That gave Chief Luo pause. He looked up in the direction the monk was pointing, while the agents behind him did the same. The next moment, their pupils constricted.

They saw a huge pool of blood drifting slowly across the sky, emitting a terrifying aura of death.

“That… That is…”

“It’s a Western SS-cla.s.s superhuman, the n.o.ble of vampires comparable to the Earth Immortals of Hua, the Great Vampire… Dracula!”

The monk took a deep breath.

Standing by Chief Luo’s side, Xiao Ai’s eyes filled with disbelief. She looked down at the computer in her hand. There were many spiritual energy dots on the screen, and the one that was above their heads was as big as a ping-pong ball!

What did that mean? It meant the Great Vampire was extremely powerful!

“The Great Vampire, Dracula…” Chief Luo seemed to be in a trance. Of course he knew about the Great Vampire Dracula, who was one of the strongest top-cla.s.s superhumans known in the current circle of supernatural. He just could not believe that an existence of this level would show up today!

“Ai… So do you think we should intervene?” The monk could taste the bitterness on the back of his tongue. How he wished the Earth Immortals of Hua were here. Fortunately, though, one of them was already in there. He wondered if the Earth Immortal who had killed Yamata no Orochi would be able to stand up against those vampires and sorcerers?

“Look!”

Someone in the cruise s.h.i.+p let out a shout of alarm. After the huge pool of blood drifted into the wavering mist, a luxurious carriage flew by from the distant sky. The horse pulling it had a pair of holy wings and a single horn on top of its head. Clearly, it was a holy beast of the West.

Blazing with colorful lights and accompanied by the pleasant sound of bells, the carriage sped into the spiritual energy sealing point.

“Is that the Great Wizard, Alpine?!” Chief Luo’s pupils constricted again. Another top superhuman had descended. This spiritual energy sealing point had surely attracted the attention of many almighty experts. It seemed to him that Bu Fang, who was already inside, would be in a very dangerous situation.

“Xiao Ai, inform the headquarters about the situation here and ask them to send more men here. Tell them to send S-cla.s.s superhumans…” Chief Luo said, taking a deep breath.

Xiao Ai nodded and hurriedly used the computer to contact the headquarters.

The Jewel stopped where she was, not daring to advance any further.

…

Bu Fang walked over the water, taking one step at a time as he went inside the spiritual energy sealing point. Narrowing his eyes, he glanced around curiously. He also released his divine sense, which became quite active as if it had sensed a familiar aura.

Suddenly, the water under his feet began to boil. He was slightly taken aback. Then, he saw many fins emerging in the distance, approaching him. As they closed in on him, the water exploded, and one shark after another jumped up into the air with opened jaws, revealing their sharp teeth as they lunged at him!

“Sharks?” Bu Fang frowned. He was thinking that perhaps because this was where the spiritual energy converged, countless sea creatures were drawn to it. He did not pay any attention to the sharks that were coming at him.

At this moment, Shrimpy, perching on his shoulder, straightened its upper body. Eyes rolling from side to side, it jumped off his shoulder, hovered in front of him, and then let out a hiss.

The hiss sounded strange. It was not loud, but those huge sharks trembled with fear at it. Within moments, they fell straight back into the water and swam away as fast as they could.

As the Shrimp Ancestor, Shrimpy was the overlord of all sea creatures, so its hiss had a very terrifying deterrent effect on those sharks. After returning to Bu Fang’s shoulder, it waved its tiny feet in triumph.

Bu Fang was not affected by those sharks at all—their appearance was just a minor incident. He walked over the water and pressed on.

As the land of Immortals, Bu Fang did not know much about the South Sea. He only knew that in the ancient legends of Hua, many immortals lived here. However, the South Sea at that time should still be filled with spiritual energy, so it could become a blessed land of Immortals. Over time, the spiritual energy had long since exhausted.

But as Bu Fang neared its center, he felt a surge of energy blowing toward his face. The feeling was as if he was walking toward the center of a typhoon. His brows raised slightly. As he took the next step, the sea under his feet suddenly began to boil again.

With a rumble, a burst of light spread in all directions, and he was at the center of it. Soon, it turned into a huge array hundreds of miles in circ.u.mference. Bu Fang stood on top of it as if he was standing on flat ground.

“This is…” He looked around curiously. The next moment, he heard a rumbling sound coming from the center of the array. Then, the water there began to churn as if something huge was about to emerge.

Frowning, Bu Fang looked at the great bronze door that rose slowly from the bottom of the sea. Yes, what appeared in the center of the array was a bronze door. Its surface was carved with many images, and when he looked at them, he found that he actually recognized them.

As he looked at them, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. On the first image was a bird with its wings spread. In the next one, the bird turned into a woman, and the woman was huddled inside an egg hidden behind a door, sleeping.

No matter how Bu Fang looked at it, the bird looked like the Vermilion Bird. Was it she who was sleeping in this spiritual energy sealing point?

There were other images after that one. The woman turned into an egg and fell into a deep sleep, but the egg was stuck on an array. There were many people behind that array, but whether they were men or women, they were all carved in a very ugly way.

‘What is this image trying to convey?’ Bu Fang frowned. ‘Could it be that there are other secrets behind Vermilion Bird’s deep sleep?’

As Bu Fang was lost in thought, a terrifying rumble rang out in the distance. The water there was churning violently as many sharks jumped out from the bottom of the sea, pouncing on the vampires and sorcerers who had just entered the spiritual energy sealing point.

In fact, those sharks had also mutated because of the rich spiritual energy, so they were considered spirit beasts and possessed quite a powerful strength. In the blink of an eye, they got into a fierce battle with the intruders. Many vampires and sorcerers were bitten to death, and many sharks fell back into the sea and no longer moved.

The sea was soon red with blood. Carried by the water, the blood flowed slowly toward the center of the region, seeping into the array and turning it scarlet.

Suddenly, a huge pool of blood flew over and suspended in midair over the array. A few moments later, it faded away, revealing a handsome man wearing a tuxedo with blond hair and blue eyes. His face was extremely pale. As soon as he made his appearance, the handsome man rested his eyes on Bu Fang.

Ting-a-ling!

At this moment, a carriage drawn by a one-horned horse approached, sprinkling colorful light along the way.

A dreadful aura instantly filled the air, causing the sea to tumble restlessly…
