Chapter 884: I Admit Defeat

As long as one perseveres, even an iron rod can be ground down to a needle.

However, Lin Fan wasn’t afraid of this at all. So what if it became a needle? He’d just chop it off and grow a new one.

This approach, naturally, was solid.

Profound and boundless, yet winding and clear, it gave rise to a strange sensation for a moment.

The Water-Fire Emperor’s body was truly flawless—delicate and translucent, with just the right curves, neither too fat nor too thin, embodying perfect beauty.

Now, it surged forward like an untamed horse galloping endlessly across an infinite prairie.

“Ding! Congratulations, experience increased by 5000.”

The system notification made Lin Fan feel like he was flying.

This was just too damn amazing.

This was what leveling up should feel like—faster even than grinding through monsters.

Lin Fan’s cultivation had now reached the Zenith Realm, finally transcending the Divine Heaven’s Tenth Layer—the Eternal God Realm. Previously, Lin Fan had thought breaking through this realm would require significant effort, but who could have guessed it would be this simple?

The speed was just too fast.

The amount of experience needed now was astronomical, but Lin Fan wasn’t afraid at all. As long as he persisted, he could eventually accumulate enough experience.

During this time, Lin Fan had cultivated the secret technique to an extremely high level. Every circulation brought the fusion of magical energies, and experience soared rapidly.

However, something puzzling Lin Fan was whether ten years was a bit too long.

Hadn’t a lot of time already passed?

Actually, Lin Fan wasn’t quite sure. But considering the leap from the Divine Heaven’s Tenth Layer—the Eternal God Realm—to the Zenith Realm, it must have taken quite a while.

This speed was just too fast.

Right now, his focus was solely on cultivation. As for the most delightful matters in the human world, he wasn’t particularly interested anymore.

But the sensations felt so real.

Lin Fan recalled a saying: No field is ruined by plowing, only oxen die from exhaustion. But sometimes, that saying wasn’t entirely accurate either—without water, wouldn’t the field just dry up?

But judging from the current situation, that seemed impossible. Right now, it was like a flood—soaked beyond soaking.

Day and night alternated, but within this dimension, time had no meaning.

One year later.

Lin Fan felt as if his body had been completely drained. He was really struggling, yet the Water-Fire Emperor seemed to be getting more and more energetic.

Even the fused Water-Fire Truth had grown stronger, seemingly boundless in its potential.

Now, it wasn’t just Lin Fan improving—Water-Fire Emperor was advancing as well.

This was a win-win situation.

Two years later.

Lin Fan felt thinner, as if he’d been completely drained.

Day after day, without pause, even a god would be exhausted.

“Water-Fire Emperor, maybe we should—”

Lin Fan opened his eyes, wanting to have a serious talk, hoping to call it quits. He truly admired the Water-Fire Emperor’s stamina—it was like she was a perpetual motion machine. Did she never get tired?

But the Water-Fire Emperor’s reply instantly made Lin Fan furious.

“Whoever stops first is a dog—you said that yourself. So who wants to stop now?” The Water-Fire Emperor, after two years of relentless effort, remained composed and domineering.

To the Water-Fire Emperor, for her possession to mock her like this was intolerable. She had to completely subdue him to establish her dominance.

Lin Fan’s heart burned with anger. After all this time, she still remembered those words. Who stops first is a dog—who would ever admit to being a dog? Even if he couldn’t keep going, he had to persist.

“Who’s afraid? Keep going!” Lin Fan tried to flip over and take control, but the moment his hands reached for the Water-Fire Emperor’s waist, she slapped them away.

“You belong to this Emperor. Dare you even try to pin me beneath you? Lie still!” The Water-Fire Emperor roared.

“Screw you…”

Lin Fan was nearly at his breaking point. How could she be this domineering? Weren’t they progressing together? Why couldn’t they switch positions?

But under such overwhelming dominance, Lin Fan could only lie there silently.

Three years later.

Lin Fan’s cultivation had become increasingly refined. He was already halfway through accumulating enough experience to break through the Zenith Realm. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he truly broke through.

But what Lin Fan didn’t want to admit was that he had become numb—completely desensitized.

Even with his perfected divine body, he couldn’t withstand such relentless pressure.

In Lin Fan’s eyes, the Water-Fire Emperor was no longer human—she must be a machine.

If this continued, he would die.

As the Human Zenith, having reached the Zenith Realm, he might not be killed by others, but he might actually be worked to death.

For the Water-Fire Emperor, however, the sensation was quite pleasant. After fusing the Water-Fire Truth, she hadn’t expected to advance even further.

“It feels like several years have passed… maybe chaos has already erupted outside,” Lin Fan hinted from the side, hoping the Water-Fire Emperor would finally show mercy and stop.

“My possession, it’s already too late. You’ve already given me a taste of this sweetness,” the Water-Fire Emperor said. Her snow-white, smooth skin glistened with droplets of water, incredibly alluring.

But even so, to Lin Fan at this moment, all of it looked like an old sow.

He was almost in tears.

Four years later.

Lin Fan was completely dazed. He truly didn’t want to move anymore.

Experience kept pouring in, but for some reason, Lin Fan felt no excitement at all.

Compared to experience, he’d rather just rest for a while.

At this moment, Lin Fan lay there, looking utterly broken, lifting his right hand slightly.

“I really can’t take it anymore,” Lin Fan had always overestimated himself.

Ten years? He had nearly collapsed by the second year.

The Water-Fire Emperor’s hands pressed against Lin Fan’s chest, her long hair cascading down, her breath slightly labored. Sweat soaked her hair, but for the Water-Fire Emperor, it still wasn’t enough—none of it was enough.

Lin Fan looked at the Water-Fire Emperor, who smiled at him.

Perhaps it was the passage of time, but affection had indeed grown between them.

Lin Fan noticed that the Water-Fire Emperor had become gentler toward him.

But even so, there was still no sign of stopping.

“No more. I must save myself. If this continues, I’ll surely die!” Lin Fan roared inwardly. Slowly, he raised his hand and gently caressed the Water-Fire Emperor’s long hair. Suddenly, the Number Nine Great Red Brick appeared in his hand.

Bang!

Crash!

The Water-Fire Emperor instantly fainted.

Lin Fan immediately pushed her aside. Looking at his own member, Lin Fan nearly burst into tears.

“Numb, no feeling at all. I think it’s really ruined,” Lin Fan cried out in his heart.

Without thinking twice, he hastily pulled up his pants and fled.

As for the Water-Fire Emperor’s delicate, alluring body, Lin Fan couldn’t even bear to look at it anymore.
