Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Mental Demons, Finally Stronger? [PART 2]

Li Yao floated in the endless void of space, the cracks covering her body having spread even further across her skin. She didn’t seem to be completely conscious. Suddenly, she clutched her head with both hands, screaming out in agony.

"What’s happening to me?" she wondered as her eyes darted around. "Did I go unconscious? My head feels like it’s going to explode" she spoke aloud.

"Thats right, senior brother, I have to..."

But then she paused abruptly as she noticed something in her hands. She was holding a small, ornate cage, and inside that cage, she could clearly see her senior brother trapped like a helpless bird.

Before she could fully process what was happening, everything around her shifted. She still held the cage containing Xiang Yu, but now she found herself trapped inside a much larger cage of her own. Looking up through the bars, she saw the one who held her prison—a massive, imposing dark silhouette that towered above her like a mountain.

Li Yao was taken aback for a moment by the sheer size of the entity. But then, unexpectedly, she started chuckling softly.

"I finally get it now," she said. "Is this what they call mental demons?" she laughed.

Her expression then shifted to become serious as she stared directly at the dark silhouette looming above her. "You made two huge mistakes," Li Yao started. As she spoke, her earlier red cracks began receding across her skin, being rapidly replaced by brilliant blue cracks as crackling lightning started gathering all around her.

The dark entity seemed surprised by this sudden shift.

"First," she continued, "I don’t like tight spaces." Her spiritual aura exploded outward with tremendous force, completely shattering the cage that had been holding her prisoner. The metal bars scattered like broken glass into the void.

"Second..." she spoke, her gaze shifting to the small cage she still held in her hands, "I really hate it when someone tries to take what belongs to me." Her expression transformed into something truly terrifying.

"Only I am allowed to take from others," she declared.

With that final declaration, her aura flared even more dramatically, extending outward in a brilliant white light. The white light expanded rapidly in all directions, encompassing the dark entity and continuing onward to swallow all the surrounding darkness.

Meanwhile, inside the spiritual sea, the Empress was still absorbing all the corruption energy flooding Li Yao’s consciousness. She thought to herself that this situation was really getting out of hand. Was her earlier assumption about Li Yao’s being able to break free actually wrong? Could it be that she couldn’t break free in the end?

As she began to doubt her earlier assumptions, she suddenly noticed a brilliant white light rapidly approaching. A relieved smile spread across her face.

"So she made it after all," she thought with relief.

In the next instant, the white light encompassed the entire spiritual sea, destroying all traces of corruption it encountered. The Empress could finally allow herself to relax as the corruption energy was completely eradicated from Li Yao’s consciousness.

She looked down at her own darkened body, watching with satisfaction as it slowly restored to its original color. "Are you back?" she asked, noticing that their connection had finally been restored.

"Yes, thanks," Li Yao replied.
