Chapter 294
Elder Feng had been able to recover from his demonized state due to him prevailing over the heart demon within him . The so-called demon heart was the Demon of Temptation existing within his heart .
“You are me, and I am you . We have the same strength and share the same thoughts . No matter what, you won’t be able to defeat me . ”
The indifference in his voice caused the extremely competitive Ye Mo to feel furious . He formed a Dragon Spear in his hand and stabbed at the heart of the Heart Minion . The Heart Minion formed a completely identical Dragon Spear and stabbed out as well .
Bang!
The spears clashed, creating sparks while dragon roars rumbled in the air . At the same time, both of them retreated several steps backward .
After a moment of slight bewilderment, Ye Mo waved his Dragon Spear . A bloody red spear light appeared and spiraled as it charged at the Heart Minion . Unfortunately, the Heart Minion also used the Sky Blood Cycle as well . Once again, the two attacks canceled out each other .
Ye Mo attacked again and again, and the Heart Minion defended again and again . Both of them were using exactly the same techniques . After several dozen exchanges, they clashed and separated once again .
Only now did Ye Mo understand why the Heart Minion had said those words earlier . Their strength were completely the same . His attacks were completely ineffective against the Heart Minion .
“This is actually happening?” Ye Mo started thinking of a strategy to defeat this opponent . Then, his eyes lit up as a black radiance lit up on his Dragon Spear . Ye Mo directly transformed into a black shadow that flashed forward to instantly arrive beside the Heart Minion before stabbing out at the Heart Minion .
With no change in his expression, the Heart Minion casually stabbed out with his spear . Ye Mo was actually pierced through by this attack .
“Haha, I’m behind you . It’s your loss . ” The stab of Ye Mo was in fact a feint . Using his Technique of Interchangeability, he arrived behind the Heart Minion in a flash .
Ye Mo punched out at the Heart Minion . His punch streaked through the air with an aura of destruction and slaughter around it . This was a punch capable of exploding an Energy Shaping Eight Realm warrior . Even if he himself would not feel too good after being hit by this attack . And yet before his punch could be sent out, a kick whipped out at him, similarly bringing with it an aura of destruction and slaughter . The kick landed on Ye Mo’s chest, flinging him away and sending him crashing on the ground .
“What exactly is going on?” Ye Mo stood up in astonishment . He only understood something after he crashed onto the ground .
Since the Heart Minion was the demon in his heart, a representative of his inner desires, the Heart Minion would know any tactic Ye Mo could think of in advance . Any planned attack would not work and would instead get countered by the Heart Minion .
“It’s quite painful to be beaten by myself . ” Ye Mo stood up and wiped the blood trailing down his lips . With a solemn expression, he looked at the Heart Minion .
Inwardly, he was thinking of a way to defeat this opponent . They had the same techniques, and his opponent knew all his thoughts . How was he supposed to defeat an opponent like this?
“Master was able to defeat his own heart demon and obtain a powerful strength . Since he was already demonized, his heart demon was even more powerful than him . Why can’t I even defeat a heart demon that has the same strength as me?” Ye Mo muttered, the chant of the Iceheart Technique echoing in his mind again .
“To defeat him, I need to reach the selflessness state . To be selfless is to exert no control over my own thoughts, thus reaching a truly powerful form . ”
Ye Mo shut his eyes, turning completely calm . He focused his entire strength on emptying his mind . Suddenly, his mental state turned clear, as clear as ice, with no distracting thoughts .
As of this moment, Ye Mo seemed to have forgotten even his own existence . When the Heart Minion saw this, his pupils shrunk . With his Dragon Spear, he took the initiative for the first time and attacked Ye Mo . With his eyes still shut, Ye Mo raised his Dragon Spear and blocked the Heart Minion’s attack .
“It’s your defeat . ” It was unknown who was the one who had uttered this sentence . However, after it was spoken, the Dragon Spear in Ye Mo’s hands transformed into a hundred spear shadows that pierced out . Akin to roaring dragons, the spears pierced out with an earth-shaking momentum .
The Heart Minion immediately waved his Dragon Spear to block Ye Mo’s attack . But with each block, he became less and less effective . Eventually, he could no longer keep up with Ye Mo’s movement .
Clang!
The Heart Minion’s Dragon Spear was knocked out of his hand . Ye Mo struck out with his spear, stabbing through the Heart Minion’s chest . The Heart Minion bellowed miserably and transformed into numerous streams of black radiance that all converged inside Ye Mo’s body again . Cracks appeared in the empty air around Ye Mo before the entire space shattered, and Ye Mo return to the real world .
There, Ye Mo was still seated cross-legged, deep in his meditation . Defeating the Heart Minion alone was still insufficient to fully master the Iceheart Technique and reach the selflessness state .
One day passed .
Once again, Ye Mo entered the world of nothingness . This time, his opponents were two of him . Even though he was already capable of entering the selflessness state, it was still a difficult feat to defeat two copies of him . This was an extremely bitter battle, and he was almost killed by the Heart Minion . The moment he was killed here, his cultivation would go astray . Things would become extremely dangerous .
Ultimately, the battle ended with Ye Mo’s victory .
Yet another day passed .
This time, Ye Mo fought three of him at the same time . Once again, he won after a bitter battle . His opponents grew in number without stopping . But after numerous attempts, Ye Mo’s selflessness state continued to grow stronger and stronger .
This lasted until Ye Mo defeated seven of him . At that moment, he woke up from his meditation . This meditation session had lasted an entire month . Currently, his mind felt blank, and his body did not feel like his own .
“Did you reap any benefits from this one month long meditation session?” Ling’er asked when she saw Ye Mo waking up . She stretched, showing off her alluring curves .
“I’m not far from mastering the Iceheart Technique . My cultivation heart has reached the selflessness realm,” Ye Mo said with a confident smile .
“What? You reached the selflessness state?” Ling’er was greatly shocked .
Cultivating the heart was in fact a state where one united with one’s heart . With the heart, one would be able to connect with the world outside . The selflessness state was a state where one completely forgot about oneself . One’s heart would be completely emptied, and this was something even more profound than cultivating the heart .
As for the state beyond the selflessness state, Ling’er was clueless as well .
But it was not easy to reach the peak of the selflessness state . One had to defeat 100 of oneself to reach that level . “Yes . The current me can defeat seven of myself when entering the selflessness state . In other words, I will have no fear even when seven Energy Shaping Eight Realm warriors attack me at the same time . The only thing I lack now is an offensive technique . ”
During the one month he spent in meditation, the Rising Dragon Pillar had been automatically absorbing the energy of heaven and earth as well . On top of that, the constant suppression on his body and the Rank Two Magical Formation he was in pushed his body into a certain state of saturation . The Five-Elements Energy in his body was starting to condense before being released to enrich Ye Mo’s body .
“When should I advance if not now?”
Crack!
This was the sound of a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon .
