Chapter 31: The exploding Buddha's Wrathful Lotus and Ning Ye's soaring cultivation level!
Rip!
The ice lotus silently cut through the void, creating ripples in space, its target directly at Xie Shan and the Evil Sect cultivators behind him.
"Bastard!"
Xie Shan watched the ice lotus, which was like a long rainbow, rushing towards him, his pupils shrinking. He raised his hands and frantically formed seals.
Clang!!!
A moonlight barrier, dozens of feet in size, condensed and enveloped all the members of the Evil Sect.
This was a barrier formed by Moon Yuan, the power of heaven and earth that only Legend Realm cultivators could possess, and its defensive power was extremely astonishing!
The next second, the ice lotus collided with the moon curtain, which seemed to be condensed from thousands of strands of Star Power!
"Explode!"
Ning Ye coldly uttered a single word.
At this moment, the world seemed to fall silent!
The next second, an uncontrollable, earth-shattering explosion resounded across the sky!
Boom!!!
An extremely terrifying, destructive energy burst forth, creating wave after wave of energy ripples in the void, like ocean waves!
The energy ripples spread in all directions. Wherever they passed, the peaks in Tianmen Pass exploded, rocks flew into the sky, and in a distant Ancient Forest, towering trees were snapped in half, their cross-sections as smooth as mirrors!
At the center of the explosion, brilliant flames shot into the sky, and violent waves of fire instantly covered the entire firmament. The ground of Tianmen Pass cracked open with huge, dark fissures, collapsing inch by inch!
Looking from afar, wisps of black smoke descended from the firmament, and a shocking mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky!
This scene was truly like the arrival of the end of the world!!!
Countless cultivators, separated by hundreds of meters, were still drenched in sweat.
As they looked up at the rising mushroom cloud, they continuously swallowed their saliva, their hearts filled with nothing but shock and a fear that spread from the depths of their souls to their entire bodies, leaving them speechless for a long time!
"This... is this something Ning Ye created?!"
Ye Wuya's legs went soft, and he plopped down on the ground, looking at the mushroom cloud, and couldn't help but curse.
At this moment, he was completely bewildered. To be honest, he had never felt so desperate. Before, he thought that as long as he reached the Legend Realm, he could fight Ning Ye, but now it seemed he had truly overthought it.
"This guy... what kind of monster is he!"
Xuan Zang also gasped for breath. He had a premonition from the beginning that the ice lotus Ning Ye created by fusing two Heavenly Flames would be terrifying, but he never expected it to be so dreadful. If he hadn't run fast, he would probably have been buried in the sea of fire by now.
Cough, cough, cough, cough!
Xiao Tu, who was unconscious, coughed four times and slowly woke up amidst the destructive aura raging across the sky. At the critical moment, Wu Yao had brought him out; otherwise, he would have already turned into ashes from this explosion.
"Brother Xiao Tu, are you alright?"
Wu Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Tu wake up and asked softly.
"Wh-what happened?"
Xiao Tu stared at the mushroom cloud in Tianmen Pass, his eyes wide.
"Ning Ye... it's Ning Ye!"
Wu Yao sighed, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions.
"It's him?!"
Xiao Tu opened his mouth, a hint of despair surged in his heart, and his Dao Heart almost shattered.
"This guy... is truly abnormal!"
Wu Yao gritted her silver teeth, her beautiful eyes looking towards Tianmen Pass. Only then did she realize that Ning Ye really didn't want to marry her, because from beginning to end, she had never appeared in Ning Ye's line of sight.
"Young Miss..."
"This guy is Heaven-Defying!"
Qianye held the sound transmission jade, her voice trembling. She was very confident in her own strength, but even she felt powerless in the face of Ning Ye's move.
"Good!"
"Excellent!"
"What a promising talent!"
"A talent rarely seen in a thousand... no, ten thousand years!"
Heavenly Secret Master excitedly waved his fists, his face full of excitement.
Because of the Divine Concealment Stone, he had been unable to sense Ning Ye's cultivation.
Initially, he thought Ning Ye was a cultivator at the Peak of the Star Gathering Ninth Realm!
Later, when Ning Ye crushed Luo Zhixie and a group of top Prodigies from the Eastern Wasteland, he felt that Ning Ye had reached the Legend Realm!
Now, the mushroom cloud created by Ning Ye fusing two Heavenly Flames had power strong enough to kill a high-level Legend Realm cultivator!
Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't figure out Ning Ye's cultivation and the limit of his combat power!
However, no matter what, the current Ning Ye was already enough to open the eyes of those old fellows in the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower, because he was too stunning, and it was a stunning brilliance that broke all cognition!
He believed that if Ning Ye went to the Holy Mountain, he would definitely become the golden signboard of the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower.
In the future, he might even stand at the peak of the Nine Heavens Continent and have his name engraved in the Ancient History of the Nine Heavens!
...
Tianmen Pass, within a hundred zhang radius, had completely turned into scorched earth and ruins.
A sense of fatigue from the depths of his soul made Ning Ye's eyelids feel as heavy as Mount Tai.
He shook his head vigorously; Ning Ye tried to make his mind clear by three points. Feeling the exhaustion all over his body, he couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile and muttered to himself.
"One Buddha's Fury Lotus!"
"It instantly drained all the power in my body!"
"It seems that such a powerful move cannot be used indiscriminately in the future!"
However, despite this, his mood at this moment was still very excited.
After all, a Buddha's Fury Lotus condensed from two Heavenly Flames could unleash such terrifying power.
So, imagine if his Netherworld Ghost Fire evolved into Netherworld Sacred Flame, and the Heavenly Flames transformed into supreme Heavenly Flames—how terrifying would the Buddha's Fury Lotus become then?
If he were to possess two supreme Heavenly Flames in the future, then perhaps the Buddha's Fury Lotus at that time would truly possess the power to destroy heaven and earth!
"Daddy!"
Su Su tugged at Ning Ye's sleeve.
Hearing this, Ning Ye turned around and saw Su Su's big eyes beneath her bamboo hat full of worship and shock, and he was momentarily stunned.
"Daddy... so amazing!"
Su Su stood on tiptoes and kissed Ning Ye's face. She didn't fear the destructive power of the Buddha's Fury Lotus like others. She just felt that today's fireworks were exceptionally brilliant. Also, she had to say, she really liked the feeling of being protected by Ning Ye!
[Ding! System notification, Host's intimacy with Su Baizhou has increased by 5 points.]
Hearing this, Ning Ye raised an eyebrow, thinking, 'His intimacy with Su Su had already reached 85. What would happen if it reached 100?'
Cough, cough, cough, cough!
Just as his thoughts were swirling, a hundred meters ahead, from where the smoke and dust filled the air, came the sound of painful coughing and spitting blood.
At this moment, Ning Ye suddenly turned his gaze towards the dense smoke, where a figure lay.
"Xie Shan, he's not dead yet?"
Ning Ye frowned.
Whoosh!!!
When a gust of wind blew, it dispersed the sky-high smoke and dust in front of him.
Xie Shan was seen lying on the ground, covered in blood. This Divine Punishment Elder of the Evil Sect no longer had his arrogant demeanor from before.
His body was charred, and beneath the charred skin, his flesh was mangled. Half of his bones were broken, and the other half were shattered. Although he wasn't dead, he looked as weak as a mayfly, which was almost the same as being dead.
"Daddy, you're tired!"
"Should I do it?"
Su Su asked warmly.
"No!"
"This, I must do it!"
Ning Ye shook his head.
His Buddha's Fury Lotus instantly killed Luo Zhixie and a group of Evil Sect cultivators, so since the feud had already been formed, he definitely had to get something back to make it worthwhile!
His thoughts stopped there!
Clang!
Ning Ye took out his Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber and stepped in front of Xie Shan, looking down at this once high and mighty Divine Punishment Elder of the Evil Sect.
"You... you will... die!"
"No matter... what kind of Prodigy you are."
"Lord Evil Emperor... will not... spare you!"
Xie Shan looked at Ning Ye with fear, but despite this, his mouth was still very stubborn.
"Mm!"
Ning Ye nodded noncommittally, then swiftly plunged his saber into Xie Shan's heart.
Pfft!!!
The sound of blood splattering rang out.
The light of life in Xie Shan's eyes gradually dimmed.
At the same time, Ning Ye heard a pleasant System notification sound in his ear.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for slaying a Legend Seventh Realm Cultivator!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for gaining 20 years of lifespan!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for increasing his cultivation to Star Gathering Fifth Realm!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for increasing his cultivation to Star Gathering Sixth Realm!]
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for increasing his cultivation to Star Gathering Ninth Realm!]
Feeling the increase in life essence and the significant transformation and enhancement of the Star Power within his body, Ning Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although he had completely offended the Evil Sect now, getting such a huge improvement was worth it!
"Still a little bit short!"
"Just a little bit short of reaching the Legend Realm!"
"Then I can activate the Sacrificial Dao Pagoda!"
"Then I can see... That Woman in the Three Worlds Bronze Coffin!"
His thoughts stopped there.
Ning Ye's legs went soft, and he sat on the ground, his heart filled with comfort.
And at this moment, the ground began to shake without warning.
Ning Ye, as if sensing something, looked up into the distance:
A team of iron cavalry, forming a straight black line, galloped towards Tianmen Pass!
The iron hooves trampled the ground, raising dust. At the forefront of the cavalry, the leading soldier carried a flag that fluttered in the wind, extremely conspicuous. A large character was carved on it — Jun!
