The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 167: Culinary Journey

Old Bai was utterly stunned.

Even with a rough estimate, the distance to the nearest star was beyond comprehension.

And those distant stars, which seemed small in the vast darkness, were likely far larger than the entire Azure Continent itself.

Where is this place?!

Before he could process everything, the next sight nearly made him cry out in shock.

A massive, pitch-black creature—its form indescribable—revealed itself.

Its sheer size rivaled that of the very stars around it!

The scene before him played out just as Luo Chuan had previously witnessed.

"I"—or rather, the body he inhabited—raised a weapon and, with a single slash, cut the Realm Beast down.

Old Bai was left speechless.

To make things even more surreal, a calm voice echoed in his ears, explaining the process as if it were an ordinary cooking tutorial.

At that moment, he felt like an actor in some grand performance.

Once the tutorial concluded, Old Bai sat in stunned silence, deep in thought.

Could such creatures really exist in this world?

Could a cultivator truly reach the level of destroying stars with a single strike?

What kind of realm would that require?

Meanwhile, Ji Wuhui had chosen the Mirror Challenge in the Tower of Trials.

When he entered, an identical version of himself materialized before him.

For a brief moment, he felt an odd sense of awkwardness.

But that feeling vanished quickly.

I'm here to fight, not to hesitate!

The battlefield was an endless ocean of deep blue, stretching to the horizon.

Above them, the sun blazed in a clear sky.

Ji Wuhui grinned. "Haha! It's been too long since I've had a good fight!"

"Holy Emperor Law Body!"

He let out a roar, unleashing his full power.

Behind him, a towering phantom, a thousand meters tall, took form.

It gripped the Emperor's Sword in one hand, its presence so overwhelming that it seemed to blot out the sky itself.

A terrifying aura radiated outward.

The mirror image remained emotionless.

Behind it, the exact same phantom emerged.

After all, the mirror perfectly replicated all of Ji Wuhui's abilities.

"Fight!"

With a battle cry, Ji Wuhui surged forward, stepping onto the massive waves as he swung his sword at the mirror image.

His doppelgänger did the same, charging toward him head-on.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hu and his companions had already prepared their instant noodles and were waiting for them to soften.

They glanced toward Ji Wuhui and Old Bai, their curiosity piqued.

Even from their brief conversation earlier, it was clear that these two were no ordinary individuals.

The aura they exuded was something only top-tier cultivators possessed.

Naturally, Zhou Hu and the others wanted to see just how strong they were.

Zhou Hu's gaze shifted to the screen displaying Old Bai's perspective.

Immediately, the five men widened their eyes.

A mysterious black-robed figure...

A boundless void...

Countless stars scattered across the cosmos...

The sheer vastness of the scene left them breathless.

"This is... a dish from the cooking tutorial?" Zhou Hu murmured, already suspecting the answer.

Scenes like these—where the character on-screen differed from the player—only appeared in the tutorial mode.

Then, the Realm Beast appeared.

And their jaws dropped even further.

No one in the entire Azure Continent had ever seen such a terrifying, gargantuan creature.

And if anyone had... well, they probably didn't live long enough to tell the tale.

Next came the moment that truly left them speechless—

The black-robed man effortlessly cut down the Realm Beast with a single slash.

They were utterly dumbfounded.

If just watching the tutorial was this shocking, Old Bai—who had experienced it firsthand—must have been even more shaken.

What the hell just happened?

That monstrous beast, so terrifying and powerful... gone in an instant?!

"This is a tutorial for a cooking dish? That's insane!" someone blurted out.

"I've never seen it before... Must be one of the highest-ranked recipes."

"I'm definitely checking this out later."

Zhou Hu and the others had already made up their minds.
