Boom!

A powerful phenomenon surrounded the warped space.

​​

Laws of Power emitted out of thin air and merged with the realm. Then, it spread like crazy.

The laws of nature were changing. It was as if… Lord Kunpeng was born to be soup in the pot!

Just like the four seasons, the rise and fall of the Sun and the Moon, life and death, Lord Kunpeng was also fated to be in the pot!

The Jade Emperor and the Empress felt the change in the tides. They widened their eyes and did not dare to move. They were bewildered.

"This...this is…"

The Jade Emperor gulped. He had never seen such a majestic sight. His worldview started to flip as he watched the unimaginable miracle.

It could not be described with words. The laws of nature were different for Saints. He could not compare.

'This changes everything I know about the three realms!'

The cause of it all was…that disregarded poetic painting…

He still remembered what the expert said.

'I wrote these for fun. Don't take it seriously. The painting is ruined, sorry to have embarrassed myself here…'

Then, he simply tossed it in the garbage can…

However, the tossed painting changed the laws of nature. It was 'for fun'. What would happen if he was serious?

'I don't dare to imagine it.

'Too scary. This is beyond our imagination and understanding.'

The Jade Emperor and the Empress looked at that big pot that levitated mid-air. They silently backed off and felt their skin crawl. They had goosebumps all over.

They carved that sight into their memories. It was a miracle moment that was unheard of.

Suddenly, they felt something. They both looked in the direction where Lord Kunpeng fled. They saw a figure slowly being sucked in.

"No, no!"

The figure was clearly struggling. He had his head down while he spat out blood. He used up all his powers to try to escape.

However, it was all for nothing. His facial expression was twisted when he got closer to the pot. He looked terrified, fearful, and in despair.

Endless Power of Law surrounded Lord Kunpeng like an invisible hand trying to pull him into the pot. It was irresistible. Lord Kunpeng had the strength of a child compared to the invisible hand. He was like an insect struggling against the sky. He was too weak.

The Jade Emperor suggested, "Alright, stop struggling. It's fated. You can't change your fate of becoming soup."

The Empress also said, "Actually, if you think about it, it's quite nice being turned into soup. At least you'll be delicious."

Lord Kunpeng had teary eyes. He was so anxious and livid at the same time. He roared, "Curse you! Go become soup then! I can transform into anything, but I won't become soup!"

His powers exploded and his body kept expanding. With a loud roar, he turned into a giant whale!

His fins were like huge wings that covered the sky. He flapped around frantically. Huge mountains were not sufficient enough to describe the gigantic body. Even the Empress and the Jade Emperor were astounded. They were truly shocked by the giant whale.

The Jade Emperor looked like he expected it/ "As expected, he's just like the big fish that was drawn by the expert."

The Demons were baffled and stupefied by the real form of Lord Kunpeng. They were thunderstruck.

"Awe—awesome. Truly Lord Kunpeng. So big?!"

"I thought the Elephant Demons were the biggest. It appears that I'm not knowledgeable."

"That's way too big. I feel embarrassed for myself."

The giant fish made them feel like Lord Kunpeng had endless strength and power. However, he was powerless even in his real form. He could not resist at all.

He turned to look at the pot and instantly shuddered. He was scared to death. His entire body was flopping and wiggling about.

The big pot grew larger like it was excited.

Lord Kunpeng was frantic. He yelled again and his body changed.

His fins started to elongate and his mouth became sharper. He also had two Garuda claws!

Caw—

The Garuda Bird cawed and stretched out his wings. His wind powers were as strong as a Dragon, as if every fierce wind in the realm resonated within him.

In a usual scenario, he would have blown the area to ruins by flapping his wings. He could fly wherever he wanted. It would only take a few flaps to reach the ends of the realm. Even Saints could not catch up with Lord Kunpeng.

However, no matter how hard he tried to flap his wings, he still could not move an inch. Instead, he was gradually falling into the big pot.

"No, no!"

Lord Kunpeng strained his voice to yell desperately. He was not doing too well. His mind was blank. The same sentence kept playing in his mind, 'It's over. I'm going to die. I'm going to turn into soup. Oh, save me!'

He looked at the Jade Emperor like he was his last resort. He shouted, "Jade Emperor, I've reached the ends of the world. I've gone beyond the sky. Do you want to know why the catastrophe was allowed to occur? Save me, I'll tell you if you save me!"

The Jade Emperor shrugged it off. He sighed, "I truly want to know but… I can't disobey the expert. I can't save you…"

"Expert, spare me, please, spare me! I was wrong. I'm willing to be your pet bird from now on. My life has been hard!"

Lord Kunpeng begged at the sky. However…there was no response.

The Power of Law in the big pot suddenly exploded. A strong suction force left Lord Kunpeng powerless. He was not able to resist it. He was instantly sucked into the pot.

Kunpeng could only 'caw' out of panic and despair. Then, all was quiet.

The Power of Law in the air quickly went away. Everything was at peace again, it was as if nothing happened.

Apart from that unimaginably big pot floating in the air of course.

The pot was made of seawater, as well as the seawater from the painting. It was white-colored in general as if it was made from white jade. It emitted powerful energy. A holy hue covered it under the moonlight. Combining with its Power of Law properties, it must be a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

The Jade Emperor and the Empress silently stared at it.

The Demons on land were also dumbfounded.

They had never seen such an enormous pot in their lives. It was a sight of wonder to them. More importantly, Lord Kunpeng was in the pot!

"Kunpeng's true form was huge, an ordinary pot won't suffice to stew him…"

The Jade Emperor licked his lips. "Well, this is easy. The expert even prepared the pot."

Splash.

Ao Cheng came out of the sea. He went over to the Empress and the Jade Emperor. He looked at the huge pot, bewildered. "Is Kunpeng…in the pot?"

That scenario was too majestic and astounding. Everyone was busy staring at it which was why they forgot to fight. They slowly snapped out of it.

"I get it!"

The Empress shook her head in a troubled manner. Then, she said with a trembling voice, "The expert knew we wouldn't be able to defeat Kunpeng. He didn't want us to fight him. He wants us to be here…to carry that pot back!"

"It must be. It appears that the expert only intended us to be his carriers."

The Jade Emperor nodded in realization. Then, he sighed bitterly and said, "We're too weak. We can't even help the expert on much. We can only carry his things."

The famous Jade Emperor and Empress were useless except for being carriers. It was too tragic. No one would believe it.

The Empress said, "Alright, no matter what, it's good that we're slightly useful to the expert. It's an honor to work for the expert! We need to stop delaying. Let's hurry up and carry this pot back. We shall bring it to the expert tomorrow."

The Jade Emperor kept nodding. "Yes, yes, we should hurry. This pot's quite heavy. We have to be careful while carrying it. Don't knock it over."

Suddenly, Ao Cheng saw something. He saw a small golden bell and a stamp hanging at the edge of the pot. There were other Spiritual Treasures, too. He instantly gasped with curiosity.

He said, "It seems to be the Immortal Items of Lord Kunpeng."

"The Eastern Bell, the Sky Stamp…" The Jade Emperor was amazed at the Spiritual Treasures. He had to take a deep breath.

All of Lord Kunpeng's Immortal Items were Heavenly Spiritual Treasures.

"These are the trophies of the expert. We shall bring it back, too. We can't have any greedy ideas!"

"Well, duh? Unless you want to turn into soup."

"Let's go. Back to working for the expert!"
