60: Chapter 60 A Straightforward Declaration! Crushing the Fairy's Reserve!

Deep within the Cold Abyss.

Yun Shuyao stood by the cold pond and activated the Formation she had prepared beforehand to suppress Duan Gujin's spiritual power.

"Let us begin."

Her voice was cold as she shed her Icy Silk Gown and stood in the chilling air, keeping a close eye on Duan Gujin's reaction.

Duan Gujin's eyes were calm and rippleless; he also removed his outer robe and sat cross-legged across from her.

The two's auras collided.

Yun Shuyao closed her eyes, and her Nascent Soul Stage icy spiritual power surged toward Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin circulated his Cultivation Technique with all his might, and a brilliant golden light erupted from his Dantian!

A majestic and pure stream of Pure Yang Essence Force erupted like a volcano!

Yun Shuyao's eyes snapped open in shock!

Her Nascent Soul spiritual power was actually being scorched and evaporated!

Dual Cultivation commenced.

Yun Shuyao immediately activated her triple backup plans.

A chain of Divine Sense shot toward Duan Gujin's Divine Soul, but it struck the blazing sun within his Sea of Consciousness and was instantly incinerated.

The sinister rune, the Ice Soul Heart-Devouring Curse, coiled like a venomous snake toward his Golden Core, but upon contact with the Pure Yang Essence Force, it sizzled and dissipated like snow meeting boiling oil.

She mobilized her Nascent Soul Origin and the power of the Cold Abyss, striking Duan Gujin's core life Origin with her strongest freezing rune: Origin Restriction · Nine Nether Ice Locks!

Just at the moment it was about to be branded!

Deep within Duan Gujin's life Origin, a speck of dark golden light gave a natural throb.

Buzz!

The Nine Nether Ice Lock rune was instantly covered in cracks and completely disintegrated!

Pfft!

Yun Shuyao felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!

Her Nascent Soul shuddered!

Her Divine Soul was in excruciating pain!

"Impossible!!!" she exclaimed in horror.

Her triple Restrictions had been crushed as easily as an instinct by the opponent!

The difference in level was too vast!

At this moment, the power brought by Dual Cultivation reached its peak!

Yun Shuyao's Nascent Soul Seventh Layer Bottleneck, which had been stagnant for years, loosened violently!

Her cultivation base soared!

But this ecstasy was instantly drowned by fear!

Oh no!

She understood: Duan Gujin had known all along!

He had been waiting for her to activate the Restrictions and for their spiritual powers to blend!

This wasn't her trap; it was his cage!

She had delivered herself into it with her own hands!

She wanted to withdraw, but it was too late!

The Dual Cultivation cycle was already deep; a forced interruption would cause a massive backlash.

More terrifyingly, Duan Gujin's Pure Yang Essence Force was like a searing chain, firmly adsorbing and pulling her spiritual power Origin!

She couldn't break free; instead, she was swept along into an even more turbulent torrent of energy!

Duan Gujin opened his eyes, his gaze calm and indifferent, with a hint of amusement as if he controlled everything.

"Elder Yun, the Cold Abyss is indeed mysterious. Your spiritual power has also benefited this Disciple greatly."

He caught sight of the blood at the corner of her mouth, and his smile deepened. "It's just that, Elder seems to have been... a bit too hasty?"

Yun Shuyao's heart sank into an icy valley!

Her schemes had completely collapsed!

Prey and hunter were reversed in an instant!

In that suffocating moment, the amusement on Duan Gujin's face vanished, replaced by an almost helpless look of bluntness, as he said flatly:

"Elder Yun, stop playing so many tricks!!!"

"I'll just say it straight—I just lust after your body!!!"

"Other than that, I have no other intentions!!!"

The air froze.

Yun Shuyao's exquisite face was filled with shock, absurdity, and disbelief.

She stared intently at Duan Gujin, seeing only naked possessiveness and frankness.

The feeling of powerlessness from her triple Restrictions being instinctively crushed hit her hard.

The opponent's unfathomable Foundation and all-seeing control caused her to fall from the clouds.

And this rogue-like, blunt declaration utterly trampled all her reserve and calculations.

What he plotted for... was actually so simple and primal?

Merely... her body?

Absurd and cold.

Her Restrictions became a joke, her intellect pale and powerless.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind: Force an interruption? The cost would be enormous and success wasn't guaranteed.

Continue? Become a tool for his desire?

That majestic power capable of helping her break through was madly surging into her Nascent Soul!

The Bottleneck loosened violently!

The opportunity for a Breakthrough was right before her eyes!

The temptation of power was like a lethal poison.

A storm raged within Yun Shuyao's ice-blue pupils, eventually settling into a deathly still cold pond.

Forget it.

Her schemes had failed, his desire was pure, and power was within reach...

She closed her eyes, abandoning all means of control, counteraction, or harm.

She no longer probed for Duan Gujin's trump cards.

She poured all her focus into the Dual Cultivation Technique, greedily seizing that majestic power that could help her break through!

Can't break free?

Then she would drain every bit of value from this Cauldron!

Her body? Fine!

The price must be a leap in Realm!

The torrent of energy became even more turbulent and pure.

Duan Gujin felt the complete submission and greedy extraction of her spiritual power, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was no longer hidden.

He had won.

In the most primal and effective way.

The process became pure and intense.

Yun Shuyao was left with only the instinct to seize power.

Under the flushing of extreme yang, her body turned from icy to burning hot, even beginning to instinctively cater and actively seek more.

Spiritual power madly battered the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer barrier.

Yun Shuyao bit her lower lip, her body trembling under the impact.

Every tremor was accompanied by the loosening of the Nascent Soul barrier and a surge in cultivation!

Humiliation and the pleasure brought by power intertwined in a twisted manner.

"Mmph..."

A muffled groan suppressed to the limit!

Yun Shuyao's body suddenly tensed up!

Brilliant ice crystal runes condensed all around her!

Within her Dantian, the Nascent Soul boomed as it broke through its shackles!

Eighth-level Nascent Soul!

A powerful aura swept through the Cold Abyss!

Yun Shuyao snapped her eyes open!

Her ice-blue eyes were like a profound ice storm—cold, powerful, and deep!

The Breakthrough dissipated some of her weakness.

However, when she clearly saw Duan Gujin right in front of her, the Nascent Soul majesty she had just gained instantly froze.

Duan Gujin's movements did not stop; his gaze was calm and playful, as if admiring a newly finished work of art.

"Congratulations, Elder, on obtaining what you wished for," he said flatly.

Yun Shuyao's heart sank to the bottom.

The joy of the Breakthrough vanished, leaving only cold reality.

She had broken through, but the price was exposing her weakness, her schemes failing, and completely delivering herself into the hands of this unfathomable man, becoming the body he "lusted after."

She had lost utterly and completely.

The increase in power only made her realize more clearly that she had fallen into a cage she couldn't escape.

She closed her eyes, letting the power surge and allowing herself to be submerged by humiliation and pleasure.

She gave up resistance, leaving only a mad craving for power and her body, driven by instinct, catering even more violently to that Extreme Yang Force.

Feeling this, Duan Gujin leaned down and whispered:

"Now... focus."

The Dual Cultivation ended, and the violent energy subsided.

Yun Shuyao suddenly sat up, her movements frantic.

She quickly grabbed her Icy Silk Gown to wrap her burning yet cold body.

The newly born powerful energy within her and the lingering sensations left her in immense torment.

She didn't dare look at Duan Gujin, yet she couldn't completely avoid him.

After tidying her clothes and barely suppressing the restless Pure Yang power in her Nascent Soul, she finally looked up at him.

That habitually cold face was actually tinged with a faint blush.

Duan Gujin had already risen calmly, put on his outer robe, and restrained his aura.

Seeing Yun Shuyao in this unprecedented state, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, though his face carried a look of concern:

"Elder Yun, I transferred quite a bit of Pure Yang Essence to you just now. Although this power conflicts with your Physique, its level is extremely high. Refine it well; it will be of great benefit for stabilizing your Eighth-level Nascent Soul and even for pushing toward the ninth-level!"

"Pure Yang Essence!"

These three words were like a knife stabbing into Yun Shuyao's heart.

Her body trembled as she looked at Duan Gujin in disbelief.

Origin power!

This was a Cultivator's most core and precious Foundation of power!

He had actually taken the initiative to transfer it to her during Dual Cultivation?

This definitely couldn't be explained by simple 'lust'!
