The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 880 Breakthrough and Collapse
More than two hundred years later

"Buzz!" The profound and mysterious Yin-Yang Taiji Dao Diagram, which stood in the eternal unknown space-time, collapsed and transformed into endless Yin-Yang primordial Dao Qi, which flowed into the Snow Emperor's body.

"Mmm!" Snow Empress let out a soft moan. Her fair skin, whiter than snow, was tinged with rosy hues, and her deep blue eyes revealed a dazed look, as if she were half-awake.

Her slender, shapely body was slightly curved, making her incredibly alluring, almost tempting one to commit a crime.

At this moment, feeling the Snow Empress's instinctive invitation, and seemingly influenced by the lingering yin and yang energy within the hall, the temporarily extinguished flame in Li Daoming's heart rekindled, and he couldn't help but want to attack and ravage the beauty in his arms.

However, at this moment, Xue Di had already broken free from the lingering yin and yang energy and regained her clarity. Sensing Li Daoming's movements, she seemed to be about to launch another attack on her.

Xue Di's face paled, and she quickly shrank back, crossing her arms in front of her, and cried out, "No, no! I really can't take it!"

Although she had already cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor before engaging in Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation with Li Daoming, she successfully expanded and perfected her Great Dao to the Immortal Emperor level after nearly a hundred years of Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation with Li Daoming, creating her own invincible technique and breaking through to the half-step Immortal Emperor level.

However, when she practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming, her mental state was not elevated to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, but rather to the late-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Subsequently, during their Yin-Yang dual cultivation, Li Daoming helped her refine and absorb an extremely mysterious and powerful primordial substance, which further elevated her mental and spiritual realm to the peak of the Immortal Emperor.

Her mental cultivation level rose from the peak of Quasi-Immortal Emperor to the peak of Immortal Emperor, a full major advancement.

It certainly placed her at a higher level of perspective, allowing her thoughts to flow freely, her understanding of the Great Dao to rise continuously, and her inspiration to emerge constantly. In less than a hundred years, she expanded and perfected her Great Dao to the level of an Immortal Emperor and created a corresponding invincible technique.

However, her mental and physical health deteriorated extremely quickly and terrifyingly.

If it weren't for the fact that during her dual cultivation with Li Daoming, a continuous stream of Yin-Yang creative power was generated to nourish her mind, spirit, and essence;
If it weren't for Li Daoming helping her refine and absorb the mysterious primordial substance, which nourished her mind and spirit;

If she hadn't perfected her Great Dao to the Immortal Emperor level along the way, created her own invincible technique, and broken through to the half-step Immortal Emperor level, her physical body and primordial spirit wouldn't have undergone such a transformation, receiving numerous baptisms of power and slowly evolving towards the Immortal Emperor level, greatly enhancing her mind, spirit, and vitality.

She absolutely could not have lasted for more than two hundred years, and might not even have lasted for more than a hundred years.

Even so, her mental energy was depleted far more than it was replenished.

By now, she was exhausted and no longer had the energy to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming and continue to comprehend and perfect the Great Dao.

She felt that if Li Daoming continued to torment her, she might really die, her mind and spirit exhausted, and she would perish.

She sacrificed her innocence and painstakingly perfected her Dao to the level of Immortal Emperor, breaking through to the half-step Immortal Emperor realm.

Moreover, because of her dual cultivation with Li Daoming, her physical body and primordial spirit have been tempered and baptized. In a maximum of 100,000 years, she will be able to temper and cultivate her physical body and primordial spirit to the level of Immortal Emperor, truly break through the Immortal Emperor realm, and become one of the supreme beings above the heavens.

She didn't want to die in her bed, didn't want to die so hastily, didn't want to die so miserably. If she really died like that, she might be remembered for eternity and ridiculed by future generations.

Upon seeing Xue Di's resistance, the flames that had been burning in Li Daoming's heart seemed to be doused with cold water and quickly receded.

The flame in his heart had been temporarily extinguished, and because the two had just finished their Yin-Yang dual cultivation, the afterglow had not completely dissipated, and the connection between their minds and spirits had not yet been severed. Li Daoming sensed her thoughts and couldn't help but feel somewhat speechless. Although he had just been filled with intense desire to continue their Yin-Yang dual cultivation.

But given his level of understanding and the fact that they had just finished a deep exchange, how could he not be aware of her physical condition?

Even if he didn't suppress the rising flames in his heart and continued to cultivate Yin and Yang with her, he certainly wouldn't let her die from exhaustion of her spirit.

Otherwise, even if he could revive her, it would take a lot of time and energy, and he and she would probably have psychological trauma afterward. Moreover, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Luo Tianxian, the quasi-immortal emperor female cultivator who was waiting to cultivate with him in yin and yang.

If he were to engage in deeper conversations with her again, he would either only engage in physical and spiritual pleasure without merging his mind, spirit, and energy to elevate her spiritual realm, or he would merge his mind, spirit, and energy with hers to elevate her spiritual realm while actively using the Yin-Yang Harmony Method to help her quickly recover her depleted spiritual energy.

If her mental energy stops being depleted, or if it recovers faster than it is depleted, she will naturally be safe.

Although he was speechless, Li Daoming did not intend to explain. He simply squeezed the soft flesh in his hand hard as a form of punishment.

After tormenting and bullying Xue Di for a while, Li Daoming finally let her go, and of course, he also let himself go.

If this continues, he can't guarantee he can hold back and avoid an accidental escalation.

"Wait!" The two were dressed and ready to leave with Xue Di and return to the main hall of Luo City, but suddenly, Xue Di called out to Li Daoming.

"What? You can't bear to part with me? You want to continue?" Li Daoming teased.

"Pah!" Upon hearing this, Xue Di blushed and cursed inwardly, "How shameless and vulgar!"

However, she only thought it was a coquettish resentment in her heart and was not really angry.

When she made up her mind to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with Li Daoming and was the first to step forward to do so, she did not intend to marry him or maintain this ambiguous relationship with him indefinitely.

She only planned to engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him once or a few times, until she perfected her Great Dao to the level of an Immortal Emperor and created her own invincible technique, after which she would sever all ties with him and have no further connection with him.

Of course, she had also considered that after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, she might remain stuck at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, or at another realm, unable to break through for a long time.

Perhaps then, she will change her mind and take the initiative to seek him out for Yin-Yang dual cultivation in order to break through her cultivation realm.

After all, she had already practiced Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, and she had given him her virginity. A few more times wouldn't be a big deal.

However, her persistence and determination crumbled instantly and were completely destroyed after the Yin-Yang dual cultivation ended with him.

When she finished her Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him, she wanted to tell him that she would not engage in Yin-Yang dual cultivation with him again, and that what had happened during this time should be treated as if it had never happened, and that they would have no further connection. However, she just couldn't bring herself to say it!
She suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and couldn't help but feel a surge of bitterness and reluctance.

She couldn't help but recall the wonderful sensation of their spiritual and physical union during their Yin-Yang cultivation. It felt as if she had been elevated, experiencing unparalleled comfort that she longed for.
