As soon as Michael approached the two light pillars, he felt intense cold energy and scorching hot energy at the same time. His body suddenly jolted and his steps came to a screeching halt. His face immediately became bright red while a terrifying heat began to radiate from his body.

  He could only feel that scorching energy had entered his body, like a red-hot branding iron. It radiated with a terrifying heat that was destroying his body. Meanwhile, Lailah's expression also changed abruptly. She immediately became sheet-white. An extremely cold aura began to radiate from her and there were vague signs of the ground freezing. She had also encountered a situation like Michael, though the energy within her was frigid rather than scorching. Wherever the energy passed by, that part of her body became crystallized.

  [with her level of strength, she shouldn't have even got closer to the First Energies yet she tried to harness both the yin and yang energy from them]

  As much as he loved to converse with the system, it was not the time as he struggled to keep the scorching hot energy from his body burning him from within.

  [Now the yin and yang from the First energies looking for a suitable vessel and your bodies cannot handle them right now. The system can use the First Energies to come out of the safe mode but the host must transfer the excess yang energy that just entered your body to Lailah]

  "How?!"

  The Yang energy from the First Energies radiated a terrifying heat in his body. He knew his body would not be able to withstand it for too long, his organs felt like they were on fire, producing waves of violent pain.

  Outside Michael's body, red ripples of air that were vaguely visible spread out. It was the heat from his body and it caused the surrounding temperature to skyrocket.

  "Are you still fucking sleeping?" even after everything he had gone through, the baby dragon was sleeping in his arms snoring. He wanted to punch the baby dragon's little face after hearing him snore.

  Beside him, Lailah sat on the ground with her eyes closed. Signs of agonizing pain could be seen on her face. She radiated with an extremely frigid coldness that formed a thick layer of ice in a meter radius around her and occasionally he could feel an intense hot wave surging from her body.

  Michael and Lailah were each absorbing the Yang and the Yin energies from the First energies. The characteristics of the two energies were polar opposites, contrasting sharply with one another.

  [There are two methods to transfer the Yin and Yang energies between your bodies]

  "Just spit it out, I can't resist much longer!" Michael said hurriedly. In his body, the Yang energy was like a burning flame that slowly inched its way toward his mind while the Ying energy within his body slowly began to crystalize his skin.

  [Bang her!]

  He almost stumbled down when he heard the system shout 'bang her' in his mind and for a second, he thought he misheard the system.

  "Are you kidding me?!"

  [Having sex with her is the quickest way to neutralize the energies in your body and help the system come out of the safe mode. Don't be such a wuss, just go and bang her host!]

  "You said two methods, what's…… the second method?" Gritting his teeth, he tried to resist the energies from killing him, and in this struggling moment, he failed to notice the Yang energy which is positive and flaming energy slowly being absorbed by the baby dragon.

  [Although the second method is difficult, it's the safest method to neutralize the energy without the host has to have sex with the woman, well kinda]

  "What do……you mean……kinda?"

  [This method is like having sex but without physical contact, the previous owner of this body has learned about this method of neutralizing the Ying and Yang energy] the system brought the memories hidden deep within his kind to make him remember because he was unable to recall them due to the excruciating pain he's in.

  "Spirit walking" he mumbled the name of this method but his face became even grimmer because this method was considered taboo, an act that was hated by all the cultivators. It was just like the system said, sex without physical contact, some cultivators thought that this method would pollute their souls.

  However, Michael would rather choose the safest method than the quickest one. Besides, he considered having sex without the consent of the other one rape and he would never stoop that low, no matter what.

  Suddenly, the muscles on Michael's face began to spasm. His face was full of pain. The Yang energy in his body was currently burning away at his vitality and flesh. It was as if scorching flames currently flowed at his chest, drawing closer and closer to his head. Meanwhile, Michael's entire body had become like a red-hot branding iron, now bright red.

  "Argh!" A howl resounded from the side. It was filled with pain. Lailah radiated a? surging coldness, the Yin energy from the First energies had already turned half of her body into an ice sculpture.

  "Why is this happening? Am I going to die here today?" her face was filled with confusion and regret. She had never thought harnessing this unknown energy she learned from her mentor would prove to be this deadly.

  Placing the baby dragon on the ground, he slowly walked towards Lailah.

  "This is all because of your foolishness but I do have a method to neutralize the energies, the spirit walking"

  The moment he heard the two words 'Spirit Walking', she became torn between rage and shame. She glared viciously at him, if looks could kill him, he would have shred into pieces by now.

  "What! How- how…… How dare you! I'd rather die than…… than-" When she reached this point, her expression changed once again. She produced a moan filled with pain. The situation inside her body was worsening, she had already arrived at death's door. All signs of life were frozen within her as the Yin energy had expanded toward her head. Even her soul would be frozen and after that, the Yang energy would burn her soul.

  "Shut up! I'm not…… going to die with you"

  He became redder and redder, it was not only because of the Yang energy inside his body but also anger towards her. The Yang energy was roasting his body like a stove from within. If he did not have the system and the baby dragon unknowing for him absorbing the energy, this strand of Yang energy from the First energies would have dissolved his body already.

  His gaze gradually became determined. Gritting his teeth, he directly lunged toward her and placed his head on her frozen forehead to start the Spirit Walking.

  Lailah immediately snapped open her eyes. Her alluring phoenix eyes lost the calmness from before and were now filled with panic. She tried as hard as she could to raise her arms that were frozen to the point of absolute numbness in an attempt to push him away but she just could not do so with the current condition of her body.

  "What- what- what are you doing!? You bastard! Go away…" her voice was filled with panic. She was a strong woman who protected the purity of both her body and her soul. Even if she died, she did not want to be sullied by others.

  "It was all your fault, who said you to harness that fucking weird energy in the first place," he yelled at her before his consciousness slowly began to fade away.

  "You- you bastard… go… go away." She wanted to push him away from her but she was incapable of that.

  He tightly grabbed her shoulders to stop her from resisting. The coldness radiating from her just happened to be the counter for the Yang energy.

  When he chanted the ancient words to start the spirit walking with her, the extreme coldness and heat from their bodies came together, there were vague signs of neutralization. It weakened the rigidness and scorching heat from both of them a little.

  Lailah deeply frozen body also showed signs of melting. Not long afterward, all the ice on her body melted and she was returning to her previous state.

  [The system is creating the omega level protection……]

  [2% completed]

  [3% completed]

  Although the notifications in his mind were a piece of great news to him,he couldn't celebrate as the danger of the Yang and? Yin energies remained.

  "Argh! What are you doing!? You bastard, let me go…" she cried out as she struggled violently. She began to resist with all she had, sensing her spirit being intruded on by his. At this very moment, the energies within them had already reached their necks. Michael did not act like Lailah, for him, spirit walking was not equal to having sex. He couldnt care less of the purity of her soul, at least with his method, he was not raping her physically, that was all that mattered to him.

  Ignoring Lailah's violent struggles, he immediately focused harder to keep the connection between their souls. Gradually, the scorching hot Yang energy from his body burned their clothes, revealing Michael's toned and Lailah's silky soft milky body under her dress.

  "You bastard! Release me! If you do it, I will never forgive you! Let me go immediately…" She screamed, resisting the connection between them desperately. If it was under normal situations, the connection wouldn't have been established successfully but because she tried to harness both the Yang and the Ying energy, the ancient spell worked without a hitch. Besides, she had no strength left in her body to fend him off.

  [38% completed]

  [The host is doing a great job. The Yin and Yang energies from the First energies are extremely pure, so once you balance them out and absorb them, not only will it bring great benefits by increasing your strength, your body and soul will also adapt to the energy. If you ever encounter any Yin or Yang energy in the future, your bodies will have the power to resist them completely]

  "There aren't any side effects right?" he asked the system in his mind but the answer he received almost broke the connection between him and Lailah

  [Kinda]
