185: Chapter 185 Haute Couture Nun's Robe

Inside the dim underground quiet room, a terrifying heatwave raged wildly.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged at the very center of the lightning-struck wood array disc. His eyes were tightly shut, his brow furrowing slightly from the intense pain he was enduring.

The moment the [Pure Yang Dao Body Phase Three Upgrade Potion] went down his throat, he felt as if he had swallowed an entire erupting volcano.

This power was far too domineering and far too pure.

If the first two phases of the Pure Yang Dao Body had merely boosted his blood vitality far beyond that of ordinary people and given him an instinctive restraint over dark evil entities,

then this third-phase transformation was a complete reshaping from his genes and bone marrow to the deepest depths of his soul.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

A series of tooth-grinding bone pops rang out inside Lin Ye's body.

He could clearly feel all two hundred and six bones in his body being shattered inch by inch by that scorching golden-red energy, and then remolded in an extremely domineering manner.

Faint, intricate, and ancient golden Dao patterns were imprinted onto the surface of his newborn bones.

And that wasn't all.

Following his bone marrow, the golden-red medicinal force surged into the blood vessels throughout his body.

"Hss!"

Lin Ye drew in a sharp breath. Veins bulged on his forehead, and bean-sized drops of sweat were instantly evaporated into white mist by the terrifying high temperature on his skin the moment they oozed out.

Under the microscopic state of inner vision, he saw threadlike glimmers of light gold appearing in his originally bright red blood.

These light-golden glimmers were like greedy dragons, madly devouring the remaining impurities in his blood, purifying and compressing them.

Every heartbeat sounded like the beating of an ancient war drum.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

The powerful heartbeat reverberated softly throughout the entire underground space, penetrating the soundproof walls of the quiet room.

[Ding! Pure Yang Dao Body Phase Three transformation progress: 50%... 70%... 90%...]

As the system prompts continued to flash, the temperature on Lin Ye's skin reached a frightening level.

If an ordinary person came within three feet of him at this moment, they would likely be ignited instantly by this Pure Yang Qi and turned to ashes.

"Break for me!"

Lin Ye opened his eyes, letting out a low growl from deep in his throat like a dragon's roar.

"Boom!"

A visible golden-red wave of air blasted outward in all directions with him at the center.

The extremely hard obsidian walls surrounding the quiet room cracked with countless fine web-like fissures the moment they came into contact with this airwave.

[Ding! Congratulations Host, Pure Yang Dao Body Phase Three (Extreme Yang Gold Blood, Immune to All Spells) upgrade complete!]

[Current blood converted to light gold. Possesses absolute bloodline suppression against all dark evil entities at or below the Ba level. A single drop of your blood is comparable to a top-tier Evil-Suppressing Talisman.]

Lin Ye exhaled a long breath of turbid air glowing with light gold.

He looked down at his hands.

There were no exaggerated bulging muscles on his skin; instead, it appeared even fairer and more delicate than before, like a piece of warm, top-grade mutton-fat jade.

But only Lin Ye knew what kind of world-destroying explosive power was contained within this deceptively restrained body.

"This money was well spent."

Lin Ye stood up from the ground and clenched his fists.

The air in his palm was squeezed so hard it produced a crisp sonic pop.

He now felt immense confidence that if he encountered those three Cardinals again, he wouldn't even need to activate the absolute domain of the nine nether purgatory tower; relying solely on his physical body, he could charge forward and beat those old men down so hard that not even God would recognize them.

"Now that the physique upgrade is finished, next up is the Supreme Unity Divine Thunder True Interpretation."

Lin Ye wasted no time. With a slight thought, he extracted the simple, ancient scroll emitting purple electrical sparks from his system space.

The moment the scroll touched his hand, it turned into a purple stream of light and shot straight between Lin Ye's eyebrows.

A massive amount of information instantly filled his brain.

Compared to the tedious lightning magic from before that required drawing talismans, chanting incantations, and borrowing power from heaven and earth, this Supreme Unity Divine Thunder True Interpretation was practically a nuclear weapon instruction manual among lightning spells.

Its core concept was singular: I am lightning, and lightning is me.

Using the Pure Yang Dao Body as a furnace and the golden blood within his body as a fuse, it directly stripped spiritual energy from the void to manifest the most domineering Nine Heavens Divine Thunder out of thin air.

"Marvelous. This is practically a divine skill custom-made for flexing... cough, for efficiently vanquishing demons and devils."

Lin Ye closed his eyes, digesting the chants and true essence in his mind.

About half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving into an arc.

He extended his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snap."

No talisman paper, no chanting.

"Crackle—!"

A streak of purple-gold lightning about the thickness of an adult's pinky finger suddenly appeared above his fingertips.

Although the lightning bolt was thin, the destructive aura contained within caused a subtle distortion in the surrounding space.

Lin Ye toyed with the lightning beam casually as if spinning a pen.

The purple-gold thunder arc shuttled back and forth between his slender fingers, docile as a pet snake, without causing him the slightest harm.

"In the future, whoever talks trash to me, I'll just snap my fingers and give them a physical salvation package."

Lin Ye satisfiedly withdrew the thunder light, dusted off his clothes, and turned to walk out of the quiet room.

...

Taking the elevator back up to the first-floor backyard.

Daylight was already fully broke.

Early autumn sunlight washed over the courtyard, exuding a lazy, pleasant comfort.

As soon as Lin Ye walked into the courtyard, he saw Helena holding a large broom, diligently sweeping up fallen leaves on the ground.

Today she was still wearing that black cheongsam with high slits.

With her sweeping motions, her plump waist swayed gracefully, and through the slits of the cheongsam, her long, fair legs flickered in and out of view.

"Helena, come over here."

Lin Ye walked over to sit by the stone table and waved at her.

Hearing Lin Ye's call, Helena immediately set down her broom and walked over in her high heels, moving with graceful, lotus-like steps.

"Boss, you've come out of seclusion."

Helena bowed slightly, her demeanor extremely obedient.

Her ice-blue eyes shone with unhidden adoration and attachment.

Lin Ye looked Helena up and down, rubbing his chin.

"I've always been considerate of my employees. Here, this is a work uniform I specifically had rush-tailored for you overnight."

Saying that, Lin Ye flicked his wrist and pulled out the [Sacred Fallen Nun Outfit (Special Edition)] he had bought for 1,500 points from the system space, casually tossing it onto the stone table.

Helena was taken aback, feeling somewhat flattered and overwhelmed.

She carefully picked up the neatly folded outfit, unfolded it, and her eyes widened in shock.

"Th-This... is a nun's habit?"

Helena's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, even her slender, fair neck flushed with a rosy glow.

The main colors of this so-called "nun's habit" were still black and white, symbolizing holiness and abstinence.

However, its style was absurd to the extreme!

The top was a tight-fitting, cropped leather vest with a deep V-neck design, perfectly pushing her voluptuous chest into a prominent cleavage.

The bottom half was even more exaggerated—an impossibly short pleated skirt made of fabric as thin as a cicada's wing, faintly glowing with a mysterious luster unique to succubi.

And around the hem of the skirt was a trim of white lace.

Most fatal of all, the outfit was paired with form-fitting thigh-high black stockings and a black leather garter strap cinched around her absolute territory.

"B-Boss... isn't the fabric of this outfit... a bit too sparse?"

Helena bit her red lips, her hands tightly gripping the scandalously skimpy clothing, so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.

If anyone in the Inquisition dared to make her wear something like this, she would definitely split them in half with a single sword strike.

But facing Lin Ye, she couldn't muster even a shred of resistance, feeling only a sense of taboo mixed with humiliation and a strange thrill.

"Too sparse? I think it's just right."

Lin Ye spoke without blushing or a skipped beat, starting his deadpan nonsense.

"What do you know? This is a high-tech tactical suit from Great Xia. The fabric is woven from Deep-Sea Ice Silkworm Silk mixed with special materials."

"Don't be fooled by how thin it is; it's invulnerable to blades, guns, water, and fire."

Lin Ye leaned in a bit closer, looking at Helena with a teasing glint in his eyes.

"Y-Yes... It is Boss's thoughtful intent. Helena... Helena will definitely wear it properly."

Helena's voice was soft and gentle, sounding as if it could ooze water.

"Go change into it and try it on. Use that utility room. I'm timing you—three minutes."

Lin Ye waved his hand with the swagger of a master.

Flushed, Helena clutched the scandalous outfit and fled into the utility room as if running for her life.

Lin Ye leaned back in the rattan chair, lit a cigarette for himself, and took a deep, satisfying puff.

"Tsk tsk, I love this system mall. Spending fifteen hundred points for a pleasing view—definitely worth it."

In less than three minutes.

The door to the utility room pushed open slowly.

Helena walked out timidly and bashfully.

Lin Ye's fingers holding the cigarette paused slightly, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

Helena's innate wildness and voluptuousness were infinitely amplified under the wrapping of this "Sacred Fallen Nun Outfit."

The deep V black leather vest tightly hugged her impressive bust, making it look ready to burst forth.

And her long legs wrapped in black thigh-high stockings were straight, slender, and deliciously shapely.

The black leather garter strap at the top of her thigh was the ultimate finishing touch.

Out of extreme embarrassment, Helena's deeply defined, sculpted face was so red it seemed ready to bleed.

She covered her hemline with both hands, her legs pressed slightly together, her ice-blue eyes shimmering with ripples, not daring to look up at Lin Ye at all.

"Buzz—"

Right at that moment, a faint, divine white light subtly shimmered across the surface of the outfit!
