In the Six Realms, cultivators fear the presence of mind demons above all else.
Because they can disturb your mind when you least expect it, causing you to go mad and lose all reason.
Such mind demons arise from within the heart—inescapable.
In the Demon Realm, however, these mind demons are not the same.
Though they truly exist in physical form,
their bodies are weak, focusing on soul cultivation.
This dictates the uniqueness of their attack methods.
All in the Demon Realm know that Qiao Shoushu was the greatest master of mind control, able to manipulate the minds of demons for his own use.
Yet few know the truth:
Qiao Shoushu’s specialty was sowing chaos within minds!
He could infiltrate your soul, excavate your deepest fears, amplify them infinitely,
and completely strip away your fighting spirit,
turning you into a slave ruled by fear.
Ten thousand years ago, Qiao Shoushu used this very tactic to break the mental defenses of the Demon Lord Zheng Dongyang of Wuyan Province, causing his downfall.
In Qiao Shoushu’s mind,
all else was inferior; only soul power and the Great Way of the spirit were supreme.
Cultivators, after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, surely had fears.
This was their greatest weakness.
Ye Yu was no exception.
What use was an ancient demonic body?
"Let me find your deepest fear, and it will all end!"
Excitement shone in Qiao Shoushu’s eyes.
But moments later,
he was dumbfounded.
He even doubted his own ability.
Why, after searching so long, had he found no fear in Ye Yu’s heart?
This brat was only thirty-two years old...
Wait, only thirty-two?
Before eighteen, he never touched cultivation, relying only on heavenly materials and treasures to reach Foundation Establishment.
That meant only fourteen years of cultivation?
Fourteen years to reach peak Profound Demon Realm?
Is this a joke?
How could anyone skip so many realms consecutively in such a short time?
No bottleneck at all?
Not even a Demon Ancestor reincarnated could be this ferocious!
What shocked Qiao Shoushu most
was that deep inside Ye Yu, he saw no trace of black color.
To mind demons, black represented the source of an opponent’s fear and was their favorite color.
Yet now Qiao Shoushu saw none?
This was outrageous!
Normally, even if you had no fear, at least in life or death you’d show some reaction.
But in Ye Yu’s heart, there was nothing!
What—he was indifferent even to life and death?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
How could such a demon exist?
Qiao Shoushu refused to believe it.
"There must be something terrifying in his heart—I will find it."
He tried again to find the black color in Ye Yu’s heart.
But it was utterly futile.
Remember, in this dream realm, Qiao Shoushu could only see Ye Yu’s current mindset.
Not to mention Ye Yu had the green attribute Calm Composure helping him.
Even without it, after so many dreams,
Ye Yu had long been fearless.
As for life and death, he cared even less.
You might truly die, but if he died, it was only a game restarting.
It was a matter of time—why fear it?
At most, just a little regret, nothing more.
So there was no fear to find in Ye Yu’s heart.
Moreover, Qiao Shoushu wouldn’t have much time.
Mind demons could break demon defenses briefly, but it was never permanent.
In just ten breaths, Ye Yu’s consciousness awakened.
In his sea of consciousness, he instinctively tried to grab the nearby Qiao Shoushu,
but suddenly grabbed empty air.
A flicker of terror appeared in Qiao Shoushu’s eyes.
"What’s going on?"
"Why did he awaken so quickly?"
"He should have been unconscious much longer."
"But now..."
"Fine, awake then."
"If you have no fear, then I’ll create it and utterly crush you!"
With that thought,
Qiao Shoushu’s figure instantly grew insubstantial.
Then completely vanished into the darkness.
Above in the sky, a pair of huge eyes narrowed slightly.
Qiao Shoushu’s voice came from all directions:
"Boy, don’t waste your effort!"
"In this world, I am the true king!"
"No matter how hard you try, you cannot harm me in the slightest!"
"This is the gap between us."
"An unbridgeable chasm you cannot cross!"
"Kneel and beg for mercy, maybe I’ll consider sparing you some torment!"
"Heh heh heh!"
The laughter was sharp and grating, utterly unoriginal.
Ye Yu involuntarily furrowed his brows.
Damn it!
If this were the Heavenly Realm, with the Soul-Slaying Spear in hand, he’d have taken Qiao Shoushu in seconds and taught him a lesson.
But here in the Demon Realm,
the soul aspect was truly lacking.
Just as Ye Yu pondered deeply,
countless black ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) mists surged forth, slowly flowing into his body.
A chilling coldness shot through him,
making Ye Yu feel very uncomfortable.
Qiao Shoushu sneered coldly, "Since you won’t beg, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Ye Yu remained silent, his mind spinning rapidly.
Suddenly, he thought of something crucial.
Though in the soul realm he couldn’t defeat Qiao Shoushu’s mind demon,
at this moment, in reality, they were extremely close.
Why must I fight you on your turf?
Realizing this,
Ye Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile.
He slowly raised his right hand
and softly shouted, "Burn the Nine Nether!"
Instantly, around a hundred meters above Niepan Province Demon Hall,
black flames erupted.
This was the highest-grade ghost technique of Heavenly Tier—Burn the Nine Nether!
Ye Yu’s thought was simple:
If I cannot kill you in the soul, then I will kill your body first.
Even if I take myself as the center, spreading out and killing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of myself,
I’m still coming out ahead!
He had the Extreme Demon Path attribute; his physique was beyond comprehension.
Even if he burned Qiao Shoushu completely,
he might not suffer much injury.
Under such circumstances, how could Qiao Shoushu possibly compete with him!
