Chapter 291: The Self-Destructing Melon King

Boom!

Lu Ye exploded!

It was an explosion with single-minded focus, making the Aroma of Achievement in Dao suddenly intense.

But this was definitely not a wasteful explosion.

The Celestial Lord Fist collided with the Invincible Sword Sect’s ultimate moves, sending the Heavy Sword flying high into the air.

Wu Feng Dao Ren was blown back over a hundred miles before he finally steadied himself, a flush of red appearing on his face as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

If he had been thinking straight, he would’ve swallowed that blood back down.

After all, it was just too embarrassing.

He was in the Heaven and Earth Realm, a recognized giant in his own right.

Getting bloodied by someone in the Spirit Communication Realm?

Spirit, Domain, Reincarnation, Heaven and Earth!

They were four whole realms apart—how utterly ridiculous!

Even though Lu Ye was blasted to pieces, being blasted doesn’t mean being dead.

That sword of his was so strong…

Lin Chuyue appeared, swiftly collecting Lu Ye’s blood mist. Goodness, can he even recover after being blasted into such tiny bits?

She dashed forward with Lu Ye’s blood mist.

“Roar!”

Wu Feng Dao Ren let out an angry roar and chased after Lin Chuyue.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye had become a cocoon-like entity, rapidly recovering.

Two figures tore through the void, one after the other.

Soon, they returned to the Great Formation.

With the formation activated, Wu Feng Dao Ren was immediately turned into a charred corpse.

The cocoon Lu Ye had transformed into began to develop cracks, splitting apart little by little.

In just over a moment, Lu Ye burst out from the cocoon.

However, it was obvious he was looking quite weak.

“Thanks!” Lu Ye said to Lin Chuyue.

“No biggie, you really are powerful!” Lin Chuyue couldn’t help but exclaim.

She even sensed that Lu Ye had more tricks up his sleeve. His sword and fist were standing toe-to-toe with Wu Feng Dao Ren, and he hardly dodged at all.

If he had used his other techniques, wouldn’t this guy be able to hold his own against someone already in the Heaven and Earth Realm?

“Powerful and still ended up like this?” Lu Ye chuckled.

“It’s different. You’re still in the Spirit Communication Realm, while Wu Feng Dao Ren is already at the Heaven and Earth Realm, and not exactly a weakling at that.”

“Your opponent doesn’t care if you’re in the Spirit Communication or Domain realms; being in the Spirit Communication Realm doesn’t mean you’ll only face Spirit Communication opponents. So, nope, you’re still too weak.”

How many times had the Aroma of Achievement in Dao evaporated now?

Lu Ye counted carefully.

His body hadn’t completely shattered, so only part of it had evaporated.

Some had fully recovered.

So it added up to roughly eight times; he needed only one or two more flesh shatterings for the Aroma of Achievement in Dao to disappear completely.

They were finally close to cracking the Aroma of Achievement in Dao.

Lu Ye felt a bit touched; it really wasn’t easy.

Let’s not even talk about what poison An Li had laid down.

There were a total of seven poisons.

Heavenly Zombie Poison – Chu Ling.

Primordial Morning Mist – Yue Hongling.

Seed of Annihilation – Shangguan Huanling.

Taiyin Bone Bug – Bai Qiulan.

Aroma of Achievement in Dao – Yin Qingcheng.

Massacre Lotus Heart – Vermilion Bird.

Reincarnation Obsession – Jiang Die.

So, only one was left.

Was An Li involved with the Dark Source after being reborn, or did she have ties with it before her rebirth?

If she had connections before, dragging the bystanding Dark Source into a self-detonation wasn’t actually wrong.

Of course, if she had links prior to her rebirth, then the crossing she laid could have also been the most terrifying.

Lu Ye simply couldn’t guess what the poison was.

Because the poisons these women found, like Reincarnation Obsession, he never would have thought of as usable poisons.

It was all just absurd.

What kind of grudge could this possibly be?

The System didn’t know either, and couldn’t deduce anything. It seemed he’d have to just roll with whatever came.

Lu Ye took out a large number of Spirit Stones, beginning to recover and cultivate.

Spirit Communication Realm was still too weak.

Under Lu Ye’s rapid cultivation, his realm started to rise quickly.

Third Heaven.

Sun Ruowei kept her word—she was indeed hanging out with Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling.

Bai Qiulan found it quite challenging to handle Sun Ruowei.

Her tough attitude toward Yue Hongling was because Yue Hongling helped her absorb the Chaos Yin Poison; if Yue Hongling couldn’t help her with that, she wouldn’t have bothered her.

What frustrated Bai Qiulan immensely was that although Yue Hongling could assist her, how many times had she actually helped?

Instead, Bai Qiulan had faced countless insults from her.

After all, she was her Master!

With such an ungrateful disciple, punishing her a bit didn’t feel out of line.

But Sun Ruowei…

Sun Ruowei couldn’t help her with the Chaos Yin Poison either.

Plus, she was someone who had grown up alongside Sun Ruowei, a true friend without any entangled interests.

Especially since Sun Ruowei always stood on her side.

If Lu Ye treated her badly, she would curse Lu Ye.

She truly considered her the best friend.

Bai Qiulan didn’t want to lose this only friend, so she let her stay.

However, ever since Sun Ruowei joined her, Bai Qiulan felt her mood had improved significantly.

Because Sun Ruowei talked a lot, never stopping her chatter, occasionally revealing gossip from the Second Heaven, and before she knew it, Bai Qiulan had heard tons of Third Heaven gossip from Sun Ruowei.

Even though she often tried to pry secrets out of her, Sun Ruowei still seemed a bit too innocent in front of her.

Her cultivation was constantly rising.

With Yue Hongling around, she hadn’t felt the pain of the Chaos Yin Poison for a long time.

“Master has already said, the things I do are for your own good. Look, now while you’re helping me absorb the Chaos Yin Poison, you’re not in agony anymore like before.”

“Now even if you’re covered in frost, you don’t change your expression.”

Bai Qiulan patiently spoke to Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling remained expressionless, sitting across from Bai Qiulan, listening to her talk non-stop.

Sun Ruowei entered.

Yue Hongling’s previously emotionless face grew animated.

Bai Qiulan smiled brightly at Sun Ruowei, “Your realm has improved again?”

“Yeah, still a thrilling time at the Third Heaven. Have you heard about the Listening Rain Pavilion?”

Bai Qiulan nodded gently, while Yue Hongling wore a curious expression.

“Goodness, turns out the head of Listening Rain Pavilion likes men! I heard every true disciple has to undergo a mysterious ritual with him! Actually, that ritual, ugh… can’t even look, can’t even look! What can two men possibly do together?”

Bai Qiulan was taken aback.

Two men…

She suddenly thought about Lu Ye and herself from her past life.

Unable to help but tense up a bit.

“Shouldn’t men have their own ways to play?”

“What’s there to play with?”

Bai Qiulan…

It seemed she knew.

But she couldn’t say it out loud, after all, such things weren’t easily accepted by the public.

Lu Ye only looked at her exaggerated figure, and listening to them talk, Lu Ye had never treated them that way. They had even once curiously asked her how it felt.

“Have you ever tried?” Sun Ruowei suddenly asked.

“No, no…”

Bai Qiulan jumped, hastily denying it—she couldn’t admit it, or that would be the end.

But Sun Ruowei’s gaze fell on Yue Hongling’s face.

“Hongling, why are you shaking your head too?”
