Becoming Invincible By Marrying The Ultimate Villainess - Chapter 31 - Chapter 31 – Explosive Might of the Lotus Flame, Cultivation Soars!

Rip!

The ice lotus silently tore through the void, leaving ripples in space as it streaked toward Xie Shan and the group of Xie Sect experts behind him.

“Damn it!”

Xie Shan’s pupils shrank as he watched the ice lotus hurtle toward him like a shooting star. He raised both hands, crazily forming seals.

Zheng!

A moonlight barrier dozens of meters wide materialized, enveloping and shielding all the members of the Xie Sect.

This was Moon Energy, exclusive to those in the Legend realm, and its defensive strength was nothing short of astounding.

In the next moment, the ice lotus collided with the seemingly invincible lunar barrier.

“Explode!”

Ning Ye coldly uttered a single word.

In that instant, the world seemed to fall silent.

Then, a deafening explosion that seemed to shatter the heavens roared through the air.

Boom!

A terrifying, destructive wave of energy erupted, creating ripples in the void that spread like tidal waves.

The energy waves spread in all directions, causing mountains in the Tianmen Pass to shatter, rocks flying through the air. Forests far away were cut down in mid-air, their trunks appearing as smooth as mirrors after being severed.

At the epicenter of the explosion, dazzling flames surged into the sky. Violent firewaves soon spread across the entire sky, causing the ground in Tianmen Pass to crack open with dark, bottomless fissures, collapsing inch by inch.

From a distance, streams of black smoke descended from the sky as an awe-inspiring mushroom cloud slowly rose into the air.

This scene truly resembled the apocalypse descending!

Even thousands of meters away, countless cultivators broke into cold sweats. As they stared at the rising mushroom cloud, their throats tightened, and they could only gulp in stunned silence. Fear seeped from the depths of their souls, paralyzing their very beings.

“Is… is this something Ning Ye caused?!”

Ye Wuya’s legs trembled as he sank to the ground, his face pale, unable to believe what he was seeing. He had never felt this level of despair before. Just earlier, he had thought that once he reached the Legend Realm, he could challenge Ning Ye. But now, it seemed he had overestimated his own strength.

“What kind of monster is this guy?!”

Xuan Zang panted heavily, his heart pounding. From the beginning, he had sensed that Ning Ye’s fusion of the two flames would be terrifying, but never had he imagined it would be this catastrophic. If he hadn’t run, he would have been engulfed by flames long ago.

Cough, cough, cough!

Xiao Tu, who had passed out, suddenly woke up, coughing violently amidst the raging destructive energy. It was Wu Yao who had dragged him to safety at the critical moment, or else he would have been reduced to ash.

“Brother Xiao Tu, are you okay?”

Wu Yao sighed in relief as she saw Xiao Tu regain consciousness, speaking softly.

“What… what happened?”

Xiao Tu stared at the mushroom cloud above Tianmen Pass, his eyes wide.

“It’s Ning Ye…”

Wu Yao sighed, her eyes filled with a complex expression.

“Ning Ye?!”

Xiao Tu opened his mouth, his heart sinking. Despair surged within him, and his Dao heart almost shattered.

“This guy… he’s truly monstrous!”

Wu Yao gritted her silver teeth, her eyes staring at the sky. At this moment, she realized Ning Ye didn’t seem to have any intention of marrying her, as she had never appeared in his line of sight.

“Miss…”

“This guy is heaven-defying!”

Qianye’s voice trembled as she held her communication jade. Though confident in her own abilities, even she felt powerless before the destructive might Ning Ye had just unleashed.

“Good!”

“Great!”

“Such an amazing talent!”

“Rare in a thousand years—no, rare in ten thousand years!”

Elder Tianji was overjoyed, waving his fists in excitement.

Thanks to the Divine Concealment Stone, he had never sensed Ning Ye’s cultivation level. At first, he thought Ning Ye was only at the Star Condensation Realm.

But after Ning Ye crushed Luo Zhiye and other top talents from the Eastern Wilderness, he believed Ning Ye had reached the Legend Realm.

Now, with Ning Ye’s fusion of two flames creating the mushroom cloud, his power was enough to annihilate high-level Legend Realm cultivators.

However, Elder Tianji still couldn’t determine Ning Ye’s full cultivation and combat limit.

Regardless of his exact cultivation, Elder Tianji was certain of one thing: Ning Ye’s talent was enough to astonish even the ancient sages of the Nine Heavens Fengyu Tower. He was too brilliant, too extraordinary, shattering all preconceived notions.

Elder Tianji believed that if Ning Ye were to reach the Sacred Mountain, he would undoubtedly become a prominent figure in the Nine Heavens, perhaps even standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens, leaving his name etched into the ancient history.

…

In Tianmen Pass, within a radius of a hundred meters, the once-magnificent landscape had been reduced to scorched earth and ruins.

A sense of deep fatigue spread from Ning Ye’s soul, making his eyelids feel as heavy as mountains.

He shook his head vigorously, attempting to dispel the fatigue and sharpen his senses. Feeling the utter exhaustion coursing through his body, he couldn’t help but chuckle wryly to himself and mutter:

“One Angry Buddha Lotus Flame…”

“It drained all my strength in one go!”

“It seems I can’t casually use such an ultimate move again.”

Though he spoke, Ning Ye’s heart remained excited.

After all, the power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame, formed from two unique flames, had unleashed such terrifying energy. Just imagine if his Yomi Ghost Fire evolved into Nether Holy Flame, turning into a Heavenly Flame. How terrifying would the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame become then? At that point, it might truly possess the power to obliterate the heavens and destroy the earth.

“Daddy!”

Su Su tugged on Ning Ye’s sleeve.

Hearing this, Ning Ye turned around and saw Su Su’s big eyes filled with admiration and awe beneath the straw hat. He was momentarily stunned.

“Daddy… so amazing!”

Su Su stood on tiptoes and kissed Ning Ye’s cheek. Unlike others, she wasn’t afraid of the destructive power of the Angry Buddha Lotus Flame. She simply found the fireworks today exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, she genuinely enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Ning Ye.

【Ding! System notification: Host’s affinity with Su Baizhou has increased by 5 points.】

Hearing this, Ning Ye raised an eyebrow and wondered, What happens if our affinity reaches 100?

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Before he could fully process this, a painful coughing sound echoed from the smoke-filled area ahead.

In that moment, Ning Ye’s gaze snapped to the source of the sound. A figure lay there amidst the thick smoke.

“Xie Shan, is he still not dead?” Ning Ye furrowed his brows.

Whoosh!

As the wind blew, clearing the thick smoke, Ning Ye saw Xie Shan lying on the ground, covered in blood. The once prideful Divine Punishment Elder of the Xie Sect had lost all his arrogance. His body was charred and bloody, with broken bones scattered beneath the damaged flesh. Though not dead, his feeble appearance left him hanging by a thread.

“Daddy, you’re tired!”

“Let me handle this!”

Su Su spoke warmly.

“No!”

“This is something I must handle!” Ning Ye shook his head. Since the enmity was already formed, he needed to ensure he gained something in return.

With that thought, Ning Ye drew his Reversal Moon Heavenly Blade and stepped forward to stand over the fallen Xie Shan.

“You…will… die!”

“No matter who…you are!” Xie Shan’s gaze was filled with fear, but he still spoke defiantly.

Ning Ye gave a nod and swiftly plunged the blade into Xie Shan’s chest.

Pfft!

The sound of blood splattering echoed.

Xie Shan’s life faded from his eyes.

Meanwhile, a satisfying system notification rang in Ning Ye’s ears:

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on killing a 7th level Legend!】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on gaining 20 years of lifespan!】

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on reaching the Star Condensation 5th level!】

【….Star Condensation 6th level!】

【….Star Condensation 9th level!】

Feeling the surge of life energy and the drastic enhancement of his star energy, Ning Ye exhaled deeply.

Though he had completely offended the Xie Sect, the massive boost he received made it all worthwhile.

“There’s still a little more!”

“Just a bit more to reach the Legend Realm!”

“Then I can unlock the Sacrificial Path Tower and finally see the woman in that coffin!” Ning Ye’s thoughts trailed off as his legs gave out, and he sat heavily on the ground, letting out a sigh.

At that moment, the earth began to tremble without any warning.

Feeling the vibration, Ning Ye looked up to the distance.

A line of armored riders appeared, racing towards the Tianmen Pass like a black streak.

Their iron hooves kicked up clouds of dust as they charged. At the front, a soldier carried a flag that fluttered in the wind, prominently displaying a large character: “Jun”.
