Chapter 2573: What on Earth Is This Treasure?

Still holding a rice bowl, this Heavenly Palace cultivator saw Zhao Tianqing and that Demon God rushing toward them at the same time.

They were so frightened that the large bowl in their hand was almost slipping.

No, I'm just an ordinary Heavenly Palace cultivator—why is that Demon God coming after me?

Being self-aware, this Heavenly Palace cultivator clearly knew that against a Demon God, they couldn't possibly block even a single strike.

If that strike landed on them, they'd probably be obliterated on the spot, not even leaving any debris.

But Zhao Tianqing was shouting nearby; at this moment they didn't dare defy the Palace Master's order, so they just stood there stunned, as if frightened silly.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianqing and that Demon God had converged on this Heavenly Palace cultivator from front and back.

Seeing Zhao Tianqing about to get there first, the Demon God also went all out, immediately unleashing a palm strike.

It was clearly trying to kill both the cultivator and the bowl.

In an instant, enveloped by the Demon God's powerful aura, this Heavenly Palace cultivator went numb.

I've been in Beyond the Heavens for quite a few years, and I've even fought in battles against Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons before, but this is the first time I've faced a Demon God.

They're merely a cultivator at the Ancient Immortal Realm—what merit or ability do they have?

"My life is over."

That was the only thought left in their mind, but fortunately, at the last moment, Zhao Tianqing caught up.

Zhao Tianqing's figure instantly appeared before this Heavenly Palace cultivator, simultaneously taking the large bowl and blocking the Demon God's attack.

Having successfully grasped the bowl, Zhao Tianqing kicked this Heavenly Palace cultivator away.

This battle isn't something they can participate in.

After being kicked away, this Heavenly Palace cultivator still had to thank the Palace Master for saving their life.

But at least they managed to save their life; just a moment ago, it almost felt like they'd seen their long-dead ancestor.

"Deserves to die."

And seeing the rice bowl fall into Zhao Tianqing's hands again, the Demon God gritted its teeth.

This rice bowl is definitely problematic, and it's a serious problem.

But before the Demon God could think further, Zhao Tianqing had already taken a big bite of the food.

That deliciousness, even for him who was in the midst of the battlefield, unconsciously brought out a look of enjoyment.

Seeing this, it made the Demon God's teeth itch with anger.

Seeing Zhao Tianqing still wanting to take another big bite, the Demon God hesitated no longer and immediately resumed its attack.

The Demon God absolutely could not let Zhao succeed; that was the only thought in its mind.

But the food was already at their lips; given the nature of many human cultivators, how could there be any talk of not being able to eat it?

No matter the difficulty, one must eat—people are iron, food is steel.

So, Zhao Tianqing, while dealing with the Demon God's frenzied attack, ate heartily, gulping down food whole.

This made the Demon God's teeth itch with anger, and its attacks grew ever more ferocious.

But even if they gave it their all, even managing to wound Zhao Tianqing during the fight, they still couldn't stop his meal.

Zhao Tianqing ate the entire bowl of food cleanly, leaving only an empty bowl, which he casually tossed to the Demon God, saying:

"Want it? Here you go."

"You're asking for death."

Faced with the large bowl flying at them like a hidden weapon, the Demon God didn't hesitate, shattering it directly and even grinding it to powder.

It was just an ordinary bowl; destroying it was no loss, since the essence had already gone into their stomach—utterly no regret.

Most importantly, as that large bowl of food entered their stomach, the side effects of the secret technique they had previously used naturally disappeared.

I no longer have the secret technique's side effects, but you still do—so aren't you bound to die?

As they fought, the Demon God's aura began to become chaotic, then gradually waned.

In contrast, Zhao Tianqing was utterly unaffected; his aura remained steady as an old dog, with hardly any fluctuation.

Seeing this, the Demon God even felt like dying; again, damn it, this is definitely the food's problem.

At this very moment, the Demon God could be absolutely certain: the reason for this was that the bowl of food was problematic—definitely that bowl of food.

But now they understand; it's too late—the fact is just as it is.

Its side effects have already descended, while Zhao Tianqing's side effects have long been resolved.

Even if their teeth itched with anger, they could only watch helplessly as they were gradually suppressed by Zhao.

"Damn it!"

Their heart roared with mad fury, but it couldn't change anything at all.

Having completely seized the advantage, Zhao Tianqing naturally wouldn't give the Demon God a chance.

Seizing the moment, Zhao Tianqing took down the opponent in one move, and this battle had no further variables.

In the ensuing battle, Zhao Tianqing radiated killing intent, poised to slay the Demon God at any cost.

And the Demon God evidently also foresaw its own outcome.

While feeling immensely unwilling, there remained a question in its mind: just what kind of treasure is this?

Why could it dispel the secret technique's side effects, and what heavenly materials and earthly treasures is this food made of?

"Death."

But before it could comprehend, Zhao Tianqing's heavy punch already landed squarely on the Demon God's chest.

The terrifying force not only burst the chest open instantly, but also shook the soul into much illusion.

Wanting to slay a Demon God is no easy feat, but right now there is indeed a chance.

With the help of Ye Zhangqing's food, Zhao Tianqing has a chance to kill the Demon God.

Zhao Tianqing's side is going smoothly, and on other battlefields humans have the upper hand.

The presence of food and drink not only boosts everyone's morale but also keeps their condition in great shape—truly, the more they fight, the braver they become.

However, there is also one battlefield where, under the command of a leader‑level Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, they actually still want to break out and escape.

Furthermore, under the fierce, death‑defying assault of numerous Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, they actually managed to tear open a gap.

A few of the leftover fish successfully burst out of that gap and headed straight for the entrance light gate.

Seeing this, the Human Race cultivators here all widened their eyes.

Did those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons charge out?

It's not that losing a few heads of ingredients is a pity; rather, the other side of that entrance light gate is precisely the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel where Ye Zhangqing is.

Those few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, upon charging out, would head‑on collide with Ye Zhangqing.

If they accidentally injure Ye Zhangqing, the situation would become serious.

Immediately, the Heavenly Family Grand Elder in charge here, face blackened, shouted angrily.

"What are you standing there for? Chase! I'll have the others block them—anyone who lets another head of ingredient escape, I'll kill him."

This sudden change directly caused the Heavenly Family Grand Elder and all the Heavenly Family cultivators present to break out in a cold sweat.

What a joke—those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are running toward Ye Zhangqing; this is unbearable.

You should know that Ye Zhangqing's side has no protection at all—just a bunch of Immortal Chefs helping to cook.

The Heavenly Family Grand Elder, without hesitation, personally led the pursuit, and the Mìfǎ was pushed to the extreme, greatly increasing his speed once more.
