Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 486 - 82: Great Thunder Hole
Chapter 486: Chapter 82: Great Thunder Hole
The Huofeng Team members stayed put, accompanying Zhou Hongyu as she received treatment from the medical team off the field.
Yan Yu, however, led his teammates towards the direction of the Great Hero Treasure Hall.
“When dealing with a Heart Demon, you only need to remember these two points,” he communicated telepathically to everyone, “Do not let it touch your body, and avoid intense emotions, endure until you grind it down. Any questions?”
“Yes,” Lin Ning asked bluntly, “What counts as an intense emotion? Is there a quantifiable standard?”
“It’s hard to describe right now, but you will understand when you face the Heart Demon,” Yan Yu replied. “A Heart Demon will amplify your emotions, whether it’s happiness, sadness, desire, or fear. Suppose something normally causes a 10% emotional fluctuation in you, but with a Heart Demon, it could increase that to 30% or even 40%.”
“When you notice that you suddenly become easily agitated and find it hard to control your emotions, that’s when you’ll know the Heart Demon is at work.”

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Ning said,
“That means, even if we can’t detect it on our own, we can still keep an eye on each other.”
“If you see someone’s expressions becoming very unstable, that’s likely due to the influence of the Heart Demon, right?”
“Exactly,” Yan Yu answered.
In fact, there was a more direct method—visualizing the Sea of Consciousness, inspecting oneself… but that required training, which couldn’t be taught to the girls in a short period of time.
The attack power of a Heart Demon was not actually very strong; the difficulty lay in the fact that it was a spiritual life form, skilled in hiding and stirring emotions silently. As long as they were psychologically prepared, it was not too challenging to counter.
The group finally arrived at the Great Hero Treasure Hall, only to see Zhang Huaide and Hou Qing maintaining poker faces as they used their swords, parrying the Heart Demon’s attacks like they were playing badminton.
Yan Yu found it somewhat amusing to watch. This was a typical novice characteristic in dealing with a Heart Demon, thinking that maintaining a stoic expression would help control inner emotions—the reality was actually the opposite.
As long as one’s heart was devoid of ripples, the expression on the face didn’t really matter.
When the Zhenhai Team members arrived, Zhang Huaide also realized his team had lost the match.
A faint regret arose from the bottom of his heart, but he quickly suppressed it and communicated with Yan Yu telepathically:
“Captain Yan, are you guys taking over?”
“Hmm,” Yan Yu replied, “We can’t just let you two Sword Immortals handle the Heart Demon.”
“Let’s go, Hou Qing,” Zhang Huaide communicated, “we’ll find Captain Zhou.”
The two swiftly exited the Great Hero Treasure Hall, allowing Yan Yu and Lin Ning to quickly fill their positions to continue cornering the Heart Demon.
The Heart Demon, seeing Yan Yu approach again, seemed somewhat frustrated. This man’s “Brain Closure Technique” was far superior to the previous two.
But the girl beside him was much simpler, almost like a blank sheet of paper compared to him.
In the Human Race, Heart Demons favored females over males because females tend to be more emotional, have richer emotions, and find it harder to hide their thoughts.
Thinking this, the Heart Demon suddenly turned its head and lunged at Lin Ning, activating its innate spell at the same time.
Lin Ning was about to block with her Green Bamboo Sword when suddenly, numerous images flashed through her mind:
Prior to the Three Isles Treasure Ship Secret Realm, the captain carried her and placed her on the conference table…
In the mysterious realm of Mirror Lake Divine Palace, having my feelings exposed and weeping, I was consoled by the captain, which made me feel better…
During New Year’s, on the rooftop of our ancestral home next door, I hinted at my feelings to the captain but he pretended to be oblivious, infuriating me so much that I pounced on him, clawing and biting…
Although I knew I had to suppress my emotions, seeing those memories with the captain, Lin Ning couldn’t hold back, and she suddenly felt a surge of embarrassment and grievance, nearly bursting into tears again.
“Fuck, you…” Yan Yu saw the heart demon suddenly become ferocious, and guessing that Lin Ning had lost control, promptly urged the Liang Yi sword to move even faster, separating Lin Ning and the heart demon. He shouted, “Ningning, get down! Zhao, come here!”
Zhao Yuanzhen quickly stepped forward to take over, trying to hold back the heart demon for Lin Ning.
Upon inspecting her, the heart demon was overjoyed:
This woman’s emotions are so abundant; they’re even stronger than those of the previous woman!
It was simply a supreme delicacy!
It quickly cast a spell, and thus, in the Demonic Sect Enchantress’s mind, a theatre of images also emerged:
There she saw a little thief with Yun Jin in his left arm and Ningning in his right, with one leg over Ling Yun and the other over Ruoxi, allowing them to massage him while he laughed and said:
“How delightful, how delightful! This is the utmost fortune a man could dream of! What about Daoist couple? What about Yuanzhen? Don’t remember, they are strangers I don’t know…”
Thinking this, the Demonic Sect Enchantress couldn’t contain herself and roared, “I’m going to explode with you,” attacking Yan Yu directly with the Yin Wind Sword.
The people around were greatly shocked, thinking Zhao had been controlled by the heart demon, and hurriedly rushed to help in a panic.
Chen Lingyun shook the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner, summoning Black Impermanence. Black Impermanence threw out the Soul Arresting Chain and firmly tied up Zhao Yuanzhen. White Impermanence, holding the Book of Life and Death, swiftly flipped through it, and shot out a Soul-hooking Nether Light, hitting Zhao Yuanzhen squarely in the forehead and sealing her Sea of Consciousness, preventing her from causing further disturbances.
Su Yunjin also cast the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art, calling forth the vast celestial river, trying to physically confine the heart demon and buy time for her teammates.
However, the heart demon had thoroughly feasted on Lin Ning’s embarrassment and also heavily nourished itself with Zhao Yuanzhen’s jealousy. It not only restored all the health it lost during the fierce battle with Zhang Huaide and Hou Qing but also advanced its magic cultivation significantly. Its formless body of black smoke swelled enormously, and with a robust surge, it pushed aside the surrounding floods, cackling as it lunged at Yun Jin.
Su Yunjin inwardly cursed in dismay, frantically trying to control her thoughts. However, many images surged into her mind, all depicting her leisurely fantasizing about a sweet, cozy retired life with the captain.
She would water the plants at home while he lay on the couch playing with his phone; after watering, she would then go over to give him a knee pillow, letting him rest on her thighs while she quietly read a book; feeling playful, she would bend down for a kiss; and when tired, they would both lie on the couch, cuddling sticky and sweet, sleeping their days away…
Oh no, how awful!
Even though she knew those were false illusions, the happiness and sweetness still made it difficult for Su Yunjin to let go, her mind racing uncontrollably.
It wasn’t until Yan Yu furiously shouted, breaking her beautiful illusions completely:
“Fuck! You all teamed up to play me, haven’t you!!!”
After consuming more of Su Yunjin’s joy and sweetness, the heart demon had swollen to twice its size. It wasn’t just a major boost in its magic cultivation, but its body also solidified, almost filling up half of the Great Hero Treasure Hall.
The people quickly intensified their offensive, but despite their best efforts, they were still unable to suppress their emotions, causing less damage to the heart demon than the nourishment they provided it.
Seeing the heart demon growing larger, Yan Yu could only resort to a treasured trump card—he rushed to Xie Ruoxi’s side and urged her:
“Quick, Big Thunder Hole!”
