The Heart Demon rapidly charged forward.
Ye Liang calculated the distance between himself and the Heart Demon. As soon as it entered his attack range, he unleashed the Tenseigan's strongest ocular power.
Spatial Transfer!
Whoosh!
Ye Liang vanished, leaving his original position as if he had never been there at all.
The Heart Demon hesitated!
Its attack had completely missed!
"Ye Liang! You turtle-up coward! Are you really running away like this? If you've got guts, come out and face me! Let me see how I'll beat you to death!"
Whoosh!
Another spatial vibration echoed. The Heart Demon's head suffered a heavy hammer strike. It quickly turned around but found nothing.
"Who says I left? I'm right here. It's just that you, idiot, can't see me."
"Pfft! If you're really here, then come out!"
*Bang!*
The back of the Heart Demon's head was struck again. This time, blood splattered out, and even a bit of milky white liquid seeped out.
"This still won't kill you?"
Ye Liang stared blankly at the Heart Demon in front of him.
At this point, the distance between him and the Heart Demon was only one meter. But the Heart Demon couldn't see him!
Because he was no longer in this space at all!
The Tenseigan allowed him to freely move in and out of surrounding parallel spaces. In other words, only at the moment of his attack would his fist appear in this world.
Other times, he remained hidden in a parallel space.
After being struck multiple times, the Heart Demon finally flew into a rage!
It activated Time Imprisonment once again. This move's power was indeed terrifying—Ye Liang, even within the parallel world, was still captured by its temporal bindings.
"Pity you can't reach me!"
Ye Liang shrugged helplessly.
In his eyes, the Heart Demon wildly attacked the empty space, wasting chakra for nothing.
"I was actually a little nervous facing you earlier, but seeing you flail around like this, I think you're just pathetically foolish. Well then, I'll finish you off early."
With a little effort, Ye Liang broke free from the temporal restraint.
The Heart Demon, frantically wasting chakra in place, greatly weakened the power of time.
Ye Liang threw a punch straight at the Heart Demon's chest.
Judging from how quickly the Heart Demon regenerated, it likely mastered [Creation Rebirth]. Therefore, directly attacking its body wouldn't cause much damage.
But the heart was an exception.
The heart was the blood-producing organ in the human body.
If struck with great force, even if the body's cells could regenerate, the human body would fail to replenish blood quickly enough.
Sure enough!
Just as Ye Liang's punch landed on the Heart Demon's heart, it abruptly dropped to its knees. "Ye Liang! You bastard! You can only pull off cheap shots!" Its eyes burned with fury, but there was nothing it could do.
No choice!
After enduring repeated strikes on the heart, its body could no longer support its stance.
Looking at the Heart Demon now kneeling on the ground, Ye Liang cautiously emerged from the parallel space. He took a good look at it. "Finally dead, huh?"
Suddenly!
As he quietly celebrated the problem being solved, the Heart Demon's body transformed into a jet of black mist and abruptly shot straight into Ye Liang's mind.
"Hell!"
"Damn it!" he cursed furiously, clutching his temples in pain.
The moment the Heart Demon entered, his brain felt as if it had been brutally torn apart—several times more painful than childbirth!
"Haha, Ye Liang! I was originally your Heart Demon. Even if I die, how could I possibly leave behind a corpse? Just let me control you inside your spiritual space!"
Inside the Consciousness Sea.
Ye Liang's consciousness was invaded again. This time, he was more cautious and quickly pulled the System down beside him from midair.
"System! Don't you have any good solutions?!"
The System looked visibly distressed!
Looking at the nearly overwhelmed Consciousness Sea, she almost burst into tears: "What solutions do I have? If there really was one, wouldn't I have saved you already?
My design strictly prohibits attacking my Master.
Since the Heart Demon is technically part of him, I'm bound by this core restriction!"
"F***! You're seriously letting me down. Even regular smartphones can detect fake fingerprints these days. How come you, a top-tier tech from the Third Civilization, can't even do that?"
Ye Liang complained, then turned his gaze to the Heart Demon that was already devouring spiritual energy.
"D*** it! Even if I die, I'll take a bite out of you!" He rushed over and bit the Heart Demon's neck.
Unfortunately, the latter was just black mist. As soon as he lunged forward, the mist scattered. "It's useless! You've lost your memory! Without the Soul Stealing Secret Technique, you're destined to be no match for me!"
"I forgot the Soul Stealing Secret Technique? Wasn't devouring always my ability?" Ye Liang stared blankly at the Heart Demon.
Suddenly!
He grinned slyly, snapped back to attention, and quickly turned around to grab the System.
"Quickly help me restore my memory!"
"What?"
The System was stunned. "Master, stop joking. If I could restore your memory, I would've done it already. There's no way I'd wait until now!"
"But you were the one who erased my memory!"
"What did you say?"
The System looked shocked.
"I said, you were the one who erased my memory! Since it was you who erased my memories, shouldn't you be able to restore them?"
"Was it really me who erased your memories?"
The System blinked in surprise.
But seeing Ye Liang's anxious expression, which didn't seem fake, she continued, "If it really was me who erased your memories, then I must have stored a memory backup in the system!
Master, please wait a moment."
"Okay, hurry up!"
Ye Liang nodded.
Just now, when the Heart Demon spoke, he had figured everything out completely!
Why did he lose his memory?
First, the Heart Demon definitely wasn't the culprit.
He'd already lost his memory before the Heart Demon was even born.
Second, Fake Ye.
Originally, he truly thought Fake Ye was the one who made him lose his memory, but Fake Ye was crushed by the Heart Demon! Someone who couldn't even defeat the Heart Demon couldn't possibly be the one who made him lose his memory!
Before he lost his memory, he was extremely powerful!
That left only one possibility!
The System itself!
The only enemy Ye Liang had in this world was the Otsutsuki Clan, and the Otsutsuki didn't possess any skills that could cause amnesia.
Even if such an ability did exist, it would be a forbidden technique of the secretive Otsutsuki Main Clan!
But if it really was the Clan, wouldn't they have killed him already? So, among layers of doubts, Ye Liang guessed the truth.
The System reacted swiftly. Just as Ye Liang was about to clash with his Heart Demon, she unlocked the backup.
A stream of golden chakra instantly surged outward from deep within his body. It flowed through his limbs and bones, passed through his heart, and finally reached his brain.
Inside his inner world, Ye Liang's eyes suddenly snapped open!
He stretched his arms and legs.
With a single palm strike, he unleashed a blazing golden beam toward the Heart Demon devouring his consciousness. His palm emitted radiant light, like the divine fingers of a god pressing down with mountainous force, slamming the formless Heart Demon into the ground.
"This is impossible! Sage Chakra?! How did you get it?!"
The Heart Demon's face twisted in shock!
Staring at Ye Liang's figure, his thighs began trembling unconsciously.
Ye Liang smiled.
His pupils were now sharp and clear, no longer clouded like before.
"This power was always mine to begin with. Now I'm just using it. Do you really find that strange?"
"You've regained your memories!"
"Enough!" Ye Liang pressed slightly harder, and the Heart Demon beneath his palm was crushed into dust!
