Haru felt the emptiness of his Core's magical energy and the almost overflowing magical power emanating from Luo Hao before him. Four words escaped his lips: "The Beiming Manual?!"

"Oh? What kind of technique is that, to be named a divine skill? The one I'm using is the Soul-Absorbing, an martial art that allows me to extract Ki from anyone I touch with my hand. If you hadn't planned for a battle of attrition, I wouldn't have needed to resort to such a technique."

The human body has twelve main meridians, known as the "regular meridians," and eight auxiliary meridians, known as the "extraordinary meridians."

By emptying the Ki flowing through these extraordinary meridians, one can absorb Ki that exists outside of themselves, that is, the Ki of others. This is based on the same concept as the The Beiming Manual from Jin Yong's novels. 

"This is bad. I don't want to die from exhaustion without getting any benefits," Haru said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead due to the massive expenditure of magical energy. Despite the dire situation, he still tried to flirt with Luo Hao.

"Say what you will. I'll be merciful enough to consider them your last words," Luo Hao replied, her killing intent intensifying.

An invisible wave of energy emanated from Luo Hao. Even though Haru was depleted of magical power, with only enough for a few more attacks, she still didn't dare to underestimate him. She decided to go all out, using spells to disrupt his mind and then finish him off with her ultimate technique.

Facing this life-or-death crisis, Haru suddenly clutched his head and crouched down, as if in immense pain.

Did the soul-attacking magic spell work? Seeing this golden opportunity, Luo Hao quickly poured more magical energy into her spell, increasing its intensity.

The hours-long battle and the prolonged use of his Life Authority had accelerated the fusion of the Life Force with his Core. This was the main reason for Haru's current lack of magical energy. Although a significant amount had been absorbed by Luo Hao, his enhanced energy control allowed him to conserve a lot. However, the accelerated fusion of the Rule with his Core had trapped most of his magical energy within his Center.

Just as Luo Hao intensified her spell, the Rule of Life Force completely merged with his Core!

An epiphany struck Haru, and he felt as if he had crossed a certain boundary.

Hum!

As the Rule of Life Force fully integrated into the core of his Core, it ignited fiercely. Simultaneously, every cell in Haru's body burst into flames. His genetic chains continuously broke and reformed, his cells aging, regenerating, and aging again. Every millisecond, his body grew stronger. 

The most noticeable change was in his Core. A tempest raged within it, like Pangu wielding the first axe to split heaven and earth. His Core shattered, transforming into a terrifying liquid energy filled with threads of the Rule, swirling madly to form a vortex.

The vortex abruptly contracted, becoming a rapidly spinning sphere of water. The sphere was semi-transparent, with faint, strange threads shimmering within it.

It expanded and contracted, expanded and contracted.

Like a beating heart, the sphere of liquid energy pulsed with life, its unique vibrations rapidly enhancing Haru's body.

The frequency of the heartbeat increased, exceeding 100,000 beats per second and continuing to climb.

Finally, upon reaching its limit, the energy sphere exploded like a supernova, dispersing to every corner of his Center. In that instant, the Rule of Life Force within the sphere solidified into a core, generating an immense gravitational pull at the center of his Center.

All the scattered energy was drawn back, swirling and converging upon the Rule core, concentrating into a single point.

Hum!

A massive shockwave reverberated through his Center.

All the energy vanished, leaving only a single, silent, rotating planet within the boundless space of his Center.

At that moment, Haru arrived at the final obstacle before reaching enlightenment: the Heart Demon Tribulation!

Simultaneously, Luo Hao amplified her soul-attacking spell. 

And the evil thoughts lurking within his subconscious, amplified by the planetary energy that had also strengthened his physical body, surged into Haru's mind.

His deep gray eyes lost focus.

A bestial roar echoed through the Great Calling Hell, followed by the sounds of a violent struggle. After a few seconds, the clashing subsided.

Then came the tearing sounds of silk hanfu garments being ripped apart.

A cry of pain pierced the air, followed by the incongruous sound of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, filling the blood-soaked, corpse-filled hell. The entire underworld was enveloped by the symphony's powerful melody, accompanied by soft moans and gasps.

When Haru regained consciousness, he felt a warm softness enveloping his lower body. He opened his eyes to see Luo Hao, naked, straddling him. 

Her delicate hands gathered powerful, fierce punches, relentlessly pummeling his chest. However, these attacks, which would have left their mark even with the protection of his Authority, now had no effect. Haru hadn't activated any of his powers. The natural resilience of his body alone was enough to withstand the force of Luo Hao's Vajrapani-enhanced strikes. 

Looking at the bouncing rabbit before him, Haru couldn't help but thrust his hips upward. Luo Hao's movements abruptly stopped. Emboldened, Haru flipped her over, reversing their positions, and began to move rhythmically. The second movement of Symphony No. 5 echoed through the air.

When the storm subsided, Haru looked awkwardly at Luo Hao, whose expression was surprisingly composed.

What's going on? Just moments ago, she had been trying to kill him with her empowered punches. Now, she was acting calm and collected. It felt eerily similar to his encounters with Sora. 

"Don't worry. According to our wager, I lost. Naturally, Im now yours" Luo Hao said, her voice as casual as if discussing the weather.

"But earlier, you were…" Haru trailed off, staring at her serene face.

"I had planned to kill you. But I never imagined that I wouldn't even be able to injure you. So, according to our agreement, I can only submit," Luo Hao said. Finally, a flicker of emotion crossed her face - a hint of frustration. This relieved Haru, who had been unnerved by her previous uncharacteristic calmness. He had a feeling something bad was about to happen. 

"By the way, why did you lose control earlier? I don't recall my spell having such an effect," Luo Hao asked, her jade-like face creased with confusion. Her naked state, however, stirred something within Haru again.

Sensing his renewed desire, Luo Hao immediately reprimanded him sharply. "That's enough! A beast who can't even control his own desires is not worthy of being my husband, Luo Hao."

Haru took a deep breath, calming his restless body. After a moment of hesitation, he told her about some aspects of the Sage.

"Oh! A method of combining magical energy with Authorities? A Heart Demon strengthened by the overall enhancement of the body! That makes sense,"

Luo Hao said, recalling Haru's fighting style when he had lost control and his terrifying movements that defied the limits of his physical body. Was he ignoring his instincts because his subconscious was controlling his body? No! He was controlling his instincts freely.
