I'm Just Here for a Stroll!","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-34",34,"\u003Cp>\"Brother Ye Chen! Danger! Wait for me!! I'm coming to assist you!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lin Xuan's sincere (?) cries still echoed at the edge of the battlefield, his person had already slipped in like a fish, following closely in the wake of Ye Chen and his two companions, plunging headlong into the churning, wailing, dark-red Nether Ghost Domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the Ghost Domain, it was as if he had entered another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light and sounds of the outside world were instantly cut off, replaced by a dense, impenetrable blood-red color and deathly silence. Viscous Nether death energy coiled around him like invisible tentacles from all directions, crazily eroding his vitality, attempting to bore into his pores, pollute his spiritual power, and bewitch his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his ears were the shrill wails and curses of countless resentful spirits; before his eyes were twisting, writhing blood-red shadows. His spiritual sense was heavily suppressed here, his perception range compressed to less than a hundred feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary Golden Core cultivator would likely not last more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before their spiritual power was exhausted and their mind lost, eventually becoming nourishment for this Ghost Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Xuan was an exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he broke in, his \"Turtle Breathing Technique\" and \"Shadow Stealth Art\" had already automatically activated to their limits, minimizing the leakage of his own vitality and the attraction of death energy. More crucially, the system within his body immediately sent a notification:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning! Entering high-intensity Nether death energy domain! Soul attacks, vitality erosion, and spiritual power pollution detected...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System energy automatically triggered, forming a primary protective field! Energy consumption: 1%\u002Fminute!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Luck Camouflage activated, simulating low-level Nether creature fluctuations...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cooling energy spread from within his body, forming an imperceptible film on his skin, sealing out the pervasive death energy and soul attacks. At the same time, the aura he emitted became obscure and cold, blending subtly into the surrounding environment, no longer so \"conspicuous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, this system's 'anti-addiction'... ah no, 'anti-death energy' feature is actually quite useful.\" Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally having the leisure to look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the Ghost Domain was even more chaotic than he had imagined. Although the Imperial army's fierce attacks were blocked by the Ghost Domain as a whole, the energy shockwaves that leaked inside still stirred up storms of death energy. Blood light surged, the ground writhed like a living thing, and from time to time, ghost creatures condensed from death energy lunged from the shadows, only to be annihilated in the clashing energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his spiritual sense was suppressed, with the system's assistance, he could still barely track the three auras ahead that were as distinct as lighthouses—they were precisely Ye Chen and his two companions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them were clearly prepared; their bodies were shrouded in a layer of pure lightning (Ye Chen) and thick blood-vitality light (the other), firmly sealing out the death energy. They moved at high speed, heading with clear purpose toward the deepest part of the Ghost Domain, the direction from which the Nether Blood Core fluctuations originated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow them closely!\" Lin Xuan did not hesitate, pushing his \"Earth-Shrinking Step\" to the limit. His figure wove through the viscous death energy like a ghost, trailing not too far and not too close behind Ye Chen and his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made up his mind never to be the one to stick his neck out. Let Ye Chen, this Child of Destiny, open the path in front while he picked up the scraps in the back... oh no, he meant \"seizing the opportunity to assist\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the deeper they went, the greater the resistance. It was not just the dense death energy, but also the Nether Sect disciples launching ambushes by utilizing the Ghost Domain's environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolts of yin lightning, ghost fire, and bone spears shot toward the three from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Mere monsters and demons dare to block my path?!\" Ye Chen let out a cold snort, the lightning on his sword surging, transforming into a sweeping lightning sword aura that shredded all incoming attacks! The brilliant heavenly lightning was the natural nemesis of these Nether ghost creatures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man beside him with surging blood-vitality was even more direct; he threw a punch, and the violent blood-vitality erupted like a volcanic explosion, blasting several Nether Sect disciples who tried to approach into fragments along with their magic treasures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other ethereal-looking cultivator seemed to have the ability to foresee the future, always avoiding dangerous attacks in advance and pointing out the enemies' weak points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three cooperated with tacit understanding, advancing like a hot knife through butter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan watched from behind and clicked his tongue: \"Good heavens, this lineup, this coordination—it truly is the protagonist template! It seems I don't need to 'assist'; I can just follow along and leech some experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was happy to be idle, carefully avoiding stray energy and ghost creatures while using the system's deep scan to greedily record and analyze the composition of this Nether Ghost Domain and the energy characteristics of the Nether Blood Core. These were valuable data that might come in handy later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Absorbed and analyzed high-concentration Nether death energy; obtained relevant energy data; energy resistance slightly increased!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Recorded spatial structure of the Nether Ghost Domain; spatial perception slightly increased!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Detected special fluctuations from the Nether Blood Core; exists a homologous energy reaction with the \"Sacred Object\" statue previously absorbed by the host!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was related! Lin Xuan understood in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the three were about to break through the final line of defense and approach the Nether Blood Core, which was pulsing with increasing intensity deep within the cave—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden change occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen! You dare to break into my grand formation! You're courting death!\" The resentful voice of Elder Youwang exploded in the Ghost Domain like a thunderclap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suspended Nether Blood Core suddenly erupted with blinding blood light, and a Nether Dharma Form, ten feet tall and condensed entirely from pure death energy and resentment, stepped out from the core! The Dharma Form had a blurred face, with only a pair of giant eyes burning with blood-colored flames, locking onto Ye Chen and emitting a terrifying pressure comparable to the early Nascent Soul realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Elder Youwang had actually spared no cost to the Blood Core's origin to condense a Nether Dharma Form! He was determined to leave Ye Chen, this disruptor, behind for good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well come!\" There was no fear in Ye Chen's eyes, only boiling battle intent! He let out a long roar, and the lightning around him condensed, faintly forming a blurred phantom of a lightning Dharma Form behind him! Although it was far less solid than the Nether Dharma Form, the supreme, masculine lightning power did not fall behind in the slightest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lightning Emperor's Judgment Sword!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen merged with his sword and the lightning Dharma phantom behind him, transforming into an eternal bolt of lightning that tore through the darkness, fiercely meeting the massive Nether Dharma Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His two companions also unleashed their strongest methods to assist Ye Chen in confronting the Dharma Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom, boom, boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning and death energy clashed crazily at the core of the Ghost Domain! Energy storms swept in all directions, and even the sturdy cave walls began to collapse in large sections!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the two sides clashed, Lin Xuan had already nimbly hidden behind a massive boulder engraved with partial formation patterns, activating his Black Tortoise Shield to protect himself firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight! Fight hard!\" While resisting the energy shockwaves, he excitedly observed this peak duel between a Golden Core and a Nascent Soul (Dharma Form), \"Best if both sides suffer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the luck of the Child of Destiny was clearly no joke. Although Ye Chen's cultivation base was inferior, the lightning power's suppression effect on the Nether Dharma Form was extremely significant, and with the assistance of his two powerful companions, he was actually fighting the Nether Dharma Form to a standstill, even faintly gaining the upper hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Dharma Form let out an angry roar, its attacks becoming even more frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this most critical moment, no one noticed (perhaps Ye Chen noticed, but he had no time to spare), but Lin Xuan, hiding behind the boulder, quietly took out that special item he had been reluctant to use from his Dust Ring—the Misfortune Curse Doll (already used, but it seemed there was still some residual effect?).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the Nether Dharma Form displaying its might, then at Ye Chen, who was in the heat of battle; his eyes rolled, and wicked ideas bubbled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, can you precisely... guide the residual misfortune aura on this doll to the heel of that Nether Dharma Form?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Analyzing... The target is an energy aggregate; operation is possible. Requires 5% energy consumption. Execute?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Execute!\" Lin Xuan did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An imperceptible, invisible fluctuation carrying a thick, ominous aura emanated from the discarded doll. Under the precise guidance of the system's energy, it bypassed the intense battlefield like an invisible venomous snake and coiled around the... left heel of the Nether Dharma Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Dharma Form, currently clashing with all its might against Ye Chen, suddenly felt an inexplicable awkwardness in its left heel, as if it had stepped on a patch of extremely slippery moss; a tiny, unexpected stagnation appeared in its condensed energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When experts fight, victory is decided in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this insignificant moment of stagnation that caused a flaw in the Nether Dharma Form's attack that was almost negligible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Ye Chen, whose combat intuition was perversely sharp, this flaw was like a lighthouse in the dark night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Break!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant light shot from Ye Chen's eyes. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, his lightning sword aura, like a master butcher carving an ox, pierced with absolute precision into the tiny node where the Nether Dharma Form's energy was circulating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound like shattering glass rang out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive Nether Dharma Form, starting from its left heel, was instantly covered in cracks, then collapsed with a roar! It transformed back into sky-filling death energy and was reclaimed by the Nether Blood Core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Dharma Form broken, Elder Youwang, who was connected to it by mind, suffered a heavy blow, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, his aura instantly wilting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now is the time!\" How could Ye Chen let this opportunity slip? His sword light, like a dragon, went straight for the Nether Blood Core, which had temporarily lost its ability to resist due to the destruction of the Dharma Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xuan, who had been hiding behind the boulder, also had his eyes light up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the moment he had been waiting for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the perfect moment when Ye Chen was attacking the Blood Core, Elder Youwang was severely injured, and everyone's attention was drawn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth-Shrinking Step!\" Full power burst!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flashed from behind the boulder like a ghost, but his target was not the precious Nether Blood Core; it was... the formation base beneath the Blood Core, where the Nether Blood-Refining Array was inscribed! And next to the base, the scattered Nether Profound Stones that were used to provide energy and were emitting dense death energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things might not be of much use to Ye Chen and the Imperial court, and might even be harmful, but for him, perhaps the system could recycle them for something good? Even if not, they could be used to trap others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Ye Chen's sword aura was about to touch the Blood Core, Lin Xuan's hand had already snatched up the largest Nether Profound Stones with lightning speed and stuffed them into his Dust Ring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Ye Chen's sword also fiercely pierced into the pulsing Nether Blood Core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nether Blood Core shrank violently, then erupted with unprecedented blood-colored light! The entire cave—no, the entire Nether Ghost Domain—began to collapse violently! Having lost the support of the Blood Core, the Blood-Refining Array instantly collapsed, and the Ghost Domain that shrouded the area began to dissipate rapidly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\" Ye Chen grabbed the Nether Blood Core, which was now dim and had shrunk by more than half (it seemed he had sealed it using some method), and shouted to his two companions. The three turned into streaks of light, rushing toward the exit of the collapsing cave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan naturally did not dare to linger, increasing his speed to the limit and following closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him were the desperate roars of Elder Youwang and the thunderous sound of the cave collapsing completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he followed Ye Chen and his companions out of the ruins and saw the outside sky again (though it was still shrouded by the formation's light), the Nether Ghost Domain of the entire Ghostly Ravine had vanished into thin air, leaving only a scene of devastation and a stunned Imperial army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen and his companions did not stop at all, turning into three long rainbows, breaking through the Imperial army's not-yet-closed encirclement, and disappearing into the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lin Xuan, he stood at the edge of the ruins, patted the dust off his body, and looked at the cold, piercing Nether Profound Stones in his Dust Ring, revealing a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This wave, not a loss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter 34)\u003C\u002Fp>",2256,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","86f6e0a17cb7ba953bce220b16ea2f7d1e55ef9e027c1e2c259a82e2631f93db","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-35","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-33",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
