When the divine lightning finally dissipated, the Heart Demon Bone Consort gradually regained her senses and shouted at Ye Yu in fury.
“Bastard! Are you really not afraid that I’ll drag you down with me? I’ll tell you the truth—if I die, my main body won’t survive either. I’ll make sure you gain nothing from it! Do you believe me?”
“I believe you. Of course I do,” Ye Yu answered calmly. “That’s why I’m choosing a method that’s safer for her, but far more dangerous for me.”
As he spoke, he began to draw a strange formation beneath his feet, expression solemn and focused.
Although the Heart Demon Bone Consort didn’t understand what he was doing, she instinctively knew the forming array could not be good for her. Her tone shifted immediately.
“Your strength is extraordinary. One day you’ll surely make a name for yourself in the Divine Realm. Why waste effort on me? That woman is also possessed by a heart demon—release me, and I’ll help you deal with hers. Let me go, how about that?”
Ye Yu shook his head slightly.
“No.”
The Heart Demon Bone Consort struggled again.
“What do you mean, no? Why must you go against me? If you really want it, I can even have my main body pretend to accompany you for a while, will that do?”
As the final stroke of his brush landed, an extremely intricate formation pattern bloomed across the trial chamber.
Ye Yu looked up at the Heart Demon Bone Consort and said evenly,
“Stop wasting your energy. Get ready to come with me. And you—do you plan to keep pretending?”
The second half of that sentence was clearly directed at Shen Fuxin.
As expected, the Heart Demon Shen Fuxin suddenly opened her eyes. There was no white in them—only bottomless black, eerie and chilling.
“I share this sister’s thoughts. If it comes to it, I’d rather we both perish so you get nothing. That’s better than my main body being endlessly dragged along by you! The pain of loving and not being able to have—it’s bitter beyond words!”
Ye Yu said nothing. He reached into a hidden compartment in the trial chamber and pulled out a divine talisman, slapping it down onto the center of the array.
In an instant, a powerful suction surged from the formation.
Ye Yu, the Heart Demon Shen Fuxin, and the Heart Demon Bone Consort all showed signs of their souls being pulled from their bodies.
Two breaths later, all three fell unconscious.
The room grew utterly still.
Inside the formation space, however, it was bright as day. The Heart Demon Shen Fuxin and the Heart Demon Bone Consort looked around warily.
A divine soul slowly appeared—it was Ye Yu.
Indeed, from Xue Hen’s memories, he had learned:
When a heart demon grows to the point of fully seizing the body and cannot be forcibly removed,
the only solution is to use the Heaven-Swapping Grand Array and summon the Divine Talisman, pulling the caster’s soul and the target’s heart demon into the same array space.
There, the caster must battle the heart demon with pure soul force.
If victorious, the heart demon is eradicated and all is well.
If defeated, the caster dies—his soul annihilated—while the heart demon remains.
It was literally a gamble of life and death with one’s soul.
After all, compared to the body, the soul was far more fragile.
Such a perilous method was something Xue Hen would never have attempted.
But Ye Yu had no other choice.
Even if he truly perished here, he would accept it.
For even if they existed only in dreams, his wives were still his wives.
If he watched them being tortured by their own heart demons in the name of the Dao,
his mind would never be at peace, and his path would crumble sooner or later.
So he chose to risk everything.
Fighting two at once was reckless—but not hopeless.
As the heart demons’ faces twisted into grotesque grins before him, Ye Yu condensed a sword of spiritual light in his hand and stood it upright before him, then pointed toward the heavens.
Instantly, thunder roared.
The Heart Demon Bone Consort and Heart Demon Shen Fuxin widened their eyes in terror.
Half an hour later—
Yes—by relying on the True Azure Lotus Lightning-Summoning Sword Art, he had slain both heart demons.
