Chapter 766 The Inverted Shadow and the Black Tide
A massive rock formation, suspended in mid-air.

From a distance, they resemble several floating cities of varying sizes.

A heavy shadow loomed over these areas.

The damp ground was covered with a substance that looked like moss.

Meanwhile, some colossal beasts with dragon-like features roamed these shadowy areas.

Yi Dong gazed thoughtfully at these giant beasts.

His clearly unfriendly gaze undoubtedly stirred up the behemoths.

However, Yi Dong eventually looked away.

These behemoths would undoubtedly be classified as high-quality ingredients in ordinary terms.

It's clearly not suitable for this context.

Foods other than those from legendary cuisine are clearly not within Yi Dong's target.

Of course, he also noticed it:
These behemoths are not true living beings of flesh and blood.

They are the living entities of some kind of high-energy polymer.

Theoretically speaking:
If you just eat it raw, it might not taste bad?

After gradually becoming familiar with this special limited-time event, Yi Dong also roughly figured out some basic information.

The legendary dish he needs typically exists only once in a particular region.

Of course, there are also rare cases where multiple legendary dishes exist in a single region.

Yi Dong heard this from other participants.

He naturally hasn't encountered this type of area yet.

Each legendary dish corresponds to a challenge event.

Because it is not a particularly serious activity.

Therefore, the difficulty level of these challenges is highly random.

Of course, generally speaking, there are limits to its difficulty level.

Some consider this place a sacred ground for exploring the boundless mysteries of the multiverse's culinary realm.

Some also see it as a gathering of benevolent forces from the multiverse.

As for Yi Dong...

He's not in such a rush now that he can't stop to enjoy the food.

However, it wouldn't be possible without the massive enhancements that come with legendary cooking.

At most, he can just have a big, satisfying meal here.

For Yi Dong, each area here can be seen as a legendary adventure with a unique way of being experienced.

At least in terms of returns, that's the case...

It is said that every observable creation in this universe is edible.

Yi Dong has reservations about this.

At least, while he was traveling through space.

The brilliance and boundless heat he perceived from the stars were not illusory or empty...

This is the third area that Yi Dong found.

Based on his perception of the situation.

The authority corresponding to this celestial body is one of the few entities that interacts with the battle.

Long ago, Yi Dong encountered a fighting chef.

Perhaps, this is the ultimate form of the other side?

Yi Dong looked around at this world, which didn't seem as rugged as he had expected.

It was also during his search for the legendary cooking place in this celestial body.

His eyes moved slightly.

The next moment, Yi Dong lowered his head:
Under his gaze, on the bright earth bathed in the radiance of the stars.

A furry thing popped out...

It looked at Yi Dong without fear.

Or rather, Yi Dong's toes?

Given its size and structure, it would probably have to lie completely on the ground.

We need to be at a sufficient distance to see Yi Dong's full appearance.

Yi Dong examined the strange creation.

It did not exude any particularly strong life force.

The reason why Yi Dong paid enough attention to it was:
He also didn't sense any other fluctuations from the other person...

At that very moment, an indescribable, solemn voice echoed in Yi Dong's ears:

"Defeat it, and you will receive the promised reward."

Yi Dong: ?
At that very moment, a new notification appeared on his retina:
"Network notification: Based on your overall personal status and reputation in the multiverse, you have obtained the challenge for this area: Trial of the Inverted Shadow (Current difficulty of the Inverted Shadow: Ultimate)!" Yi Dong glanced at the notification message that refreshed on his retina.

Here, he looked at the seemingly harmless, tiny creature with a hint of wariness.

The next moment, Yi Dong directly chose to start the trial.

As a result, the original material spacetime is gone!

These are the rules of operation for this culinary universe:
Almost everything involving trials was moved to another timeline.

Otherwise, based on the strength of the character participating in this event.

Food lost due to the effects of the trial.

It's likely to be far more than the portion that is actually consumed...

And with the opening of the trial timeline.

Yi Dong discovered that the originally insignificant little thing had begun to expand rapidly!

It even surpassed Yi Dong very quickly!

And it keeps stretching!

Even Yi Dong couldn't see its full appearance...

Do not……

It's not just that it's getting bigger.

I'm getting smaller too!
Referring to the surrounding natural formations, which were clearly many times larger than before, Yi Dong suddenly understood.

Is this really the case?

The next moment, Yi Dong rushed towards his opponent without hesitation!

at the same time
"Did you give him the tickets for this event?"

In response to the traveler's inquiry, Artur MacIntyre nodded:
"Very surprised?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, the traveler looked at Artur MacIntyre with a rather subtle expression.

"You probably haven't seen the scene of his ancestors devouring the world..."

Artur MacIntyre smiled when he saw this.

Then, he seemed to think of something.

After a pause, he said:

"If he could really swallow the entire material universe."

"Then I think I can finally have some peace and quiet."

Travelers, however, are not so optimistic about this.

"I have no intention of criticizing the duties of guardians."

"But that's too small..."

He gestured.

"As insignificant as dust..."

Upon hearing this, Artur MacIntyre stood up and patted his friend on the shoulder:

"Just as you said."

"But it's precisely because it's small that some things can be big..."

"You see, that's often how things are."

Traveler: ...

"I need to find the time correction fluid that I didn't finish using last time."

"Perhaps there is still a chance."

"Let me go back to a day several eras ago, and I will personally stop you from making contact with those extraordinary beings from the Eastern lineage!"

"At least several eras ago, the Artu MacIntyre I knew was a man whose words were as straight as a spear."

The traveler said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, old friend."

"You're always too anxious."

"What brings you here this time?"

"I think it's definitely not just because of that ticket..."

Upon hearing this, the traveler glanced at Artur MacIntyre:
"of course."

"Do you remember Bonifacio Koch-Backlight?"

"That fallen angel paladin?"

"It brought new information—about the Kuroshio..."
