Trigger Warning: Kali's more detailed past snippets.
**********************************************
The nine-tailed green fox's body was two times smaller than the maw. However, the tails made up for the fox's size as they were incredibly long and big.
Coated in her Life, Nature, and Wood energy, Kali slammed against the black maw with serrated teeth.
She already had experience in fighting it, so the fight went much smoother than before.
She first maintained her distance as she slapped it continuously with her nine tails and slashed with her claws whenever it came close.
Kali internally frowned, 'Why is it so easy? Even if I'm using Yasenia's strength, this is much easier than fighting my last Heart Demon.'
What Kali didn't know was that as her brain was completely out of her body because of the effects of that world-changing orgasm, Yasenia wasn't still and waiting for her.
The reason she bought the acupuncture manual was for times like this one. But since it was a recently purchased item and now Yasenia was too occupied finding solutions, it went over her head for the moment.
As pleasure still caressed Kali's whole body like a lover's touch, making her unable to form thoughts, Yasenia tried communicating with Kali three times, but she didn't seem to be listening.
Her first thought was to blame herself as she searched for solutions.
The dragoness just felt euphoric for being able to penetrate Kali, so her body naturally reacted, trying to fill her to the brim. Therefore she released too much inside Kali.
Moreover, Kali felt like the perfect mate to impregnate, even more than Cecile, making her unable to control the quality of the Yang energy and release the most potent one.
At first, Yasenia thought that no problem would arise since the dragoness had been feeding this quality Yang energy to her dear fox.
The dragoness had been using the most potent Yang energy with Kali for a while, trying to compensate for the fact that they couldn't dual cultivate properly.
But Kali's body reacted in this exaggerated manner. Yasenia was reasonably confused and worried.
Only after her mind regained clarity after the orgasm did the reason click in her mind.
Yasenia's Yang energy was lethally attractive for beast humans.
Cecile wasn't a good example since she was also an extremely powerful complete beast, so Yasenia momentarily forgot that her Yang energy was much more effective now on Kali.
Furthermore, Cecile was Yasenia's [Interlocked Soul], giving her many benefits when dealing with the powerful dragoness.
On the other side, Kali was still a beast human that hadn't touched on the real potential of her bloodline.
To add salt to injury, this was her first time having intercourse with Yasenia, and her bloodline was extremely sensitive to powerful and fertile energy.
Furthermore, receiving Yang energy through the mouth or uterus was two completely different things.
The uterus was many times more sensitive than the stomach, and since Kali's body could instinctively feel Yasenia's powerful bloodline, it made all her instincts dance with pure and unadulterated euphoria. Even her soul got affected by her orgasm!
All of this, coupled together with Kali's previous experiences and Yasenia's mistake of not holding back her Yang energy quality, resulted in an explosion of pleasure for Kali that nearly damaged her.
Thankfully, Yasenia reacted fast enough and emptied Kali's uterus, using her tail on her to reduce the pleasure further down. Else, Kali could have been permanently hurt.
Even then, Yasenia was worried since Kali was still unresponsive, her vagina squirting a small stream from time to time.
Angel was hugging Yasenia's side and looking at Kali with worry in her eyes. She hugged Yasenia because she couldn't even sit on her own after her powerful climax. "Why isn't she coming back, Yasenia?"
Yasenia placed Kali on top of the bed face down and sat on her thighs, giving her a back massage with her moon energy.
Yasenia bit her lip and said, "I don't know, baby. I've tried everything I know, but she is still feeling pleasure."
The dragoness didn't know that, at that moment, Kali was, in truth, fighting against her Heart Demon. Unlike the previous times, no outside clues appeared, increasing Yasenia's confusion.
Yasenia's efforts in relaxing Kali's body were what gave Kali the strength to fight against the Heart Demon with relative ease. If Yasenia stopped her treatment, Kali would quickly fall into a disadvantage inside her soul.
Angel suddenly said, "Why don't you use that technique you bought earlier?"
Yasenia stopped and opened her eyes, "Right! I was in such a hurry that I forgot about it. Thanks, baby; I love you."
She used a single hand to continue the massage, reducing its effectiveness and opened the [Yin-Yang Acupuncture Resonance Manual] book with the other.
Kali suddenly felt part of her strength leaving her, and the maw didn't lose the chance to begin its counterattack. Her brows furrowed, and she entered a defensive battle. The injured maw used the black world to create countless illusory images of Kali's traumatic experiences, shaking her heart.
Although Kali herself was over it, the Heart Demons were able to amplify her negative feelings until they became relevant.
If Kali were a normal mortal, she would have already stepped out of her trauma. However, being a cultivator with such powerful Heart Demons made it more difficult to escape these fears than normal.
Kali saw how a group of ten men attacked her, restrained her, and ripped her clothes off. In the distance, a green-haired woman saw all of this unfold with a smile.
The Kali in the illusion was extremely beautiful.
She wasn't an ethereal beauty like Cecile, a seductive beauty like Yasenia, or a heroic or cute one like Andrea or Angel.
Kali's beauty was relaxing.
She was extremely good-looking, to the point that looking at her would relax even the most nervous of people. She had the purest of forms of gentleness.
Her verdant green eyes appeased your heart, and her chestnut-colored hair reminded you of autumn and aroused tender feelings. Her facial features, when she smiled, gave the surroundings a peaceful aura. And her laugh would make your day ten times better.
However, at that moment, that gentle beauty was being assaulted by a group of ten people and was about to be defiled.
No matter how she screamed.
No matter how she cried.
No matter how big her struggle was.
"This is what you are! A simple toy for people to use you!" The Heart Demon's maw became closer to her.
"This is what happened to you! Pleasing a group of ten men until they broke you!" Kali's blows lost strength, unable to keep it at bay.
"This is where you lost your right to live a normal life! Fallen pray to a superior cultivator's scheme named Alysa!" The maw opened in front of herself, ready to devour her.
"Used until you couldn't even form coherent thoughts!" Tears ran down Kali's cheeks as she saw everything, and the black world began to consume the forest.
As the darkness was slowly overrunning her soul world, every part of her was assaulted, tainted, and filled with things she would never be able to vocalize in the illusion.
And her assaulter's faces? They were filled with mockery, speaking at her as if she was a toy.
They punched her when her reaction was not amusing.
Whenever she stopped reacting to one place being touched or abused, they slashed it with poisonous blades, physical and metaphorical blades.
They deformed her face, her body, and, most importantly, her soul.
That was why her whole body was scarred, not leaving a single place out. She became completely numb and unreactive to whatever they did to her.
Even then, she still didn't know how she got away from that place, from that hell.
She didn't know when the light began entering her eyes again, but she knew that she was able to hold on until the turning point in her life arrived.
Kali couldn't even look away as she saw those three days of agonizing torture. She couldn't escape because the Heart Demon showed it directly into her mind.
However...
Kali's mouth opened and said as tears ran down her cheeks.
"It doesn't matter."
The Heart Demon that was about to chomp down on Kali was suddenly tied with countless vines, stopping it on the spot.
Kali's fox figure disappeared as she floated her own body toward the Heart Demon.
She arrived in front of it and repeated, her voice somewhat weak. "It doesn't matter anymore, Heart Demon."
It was confused as it struggled against the vines. "Why don't you fear us!? Why are you so relaxed when you are about to be consumed!?"
Kali said, "It is because the reason my tears pour isn't because of sadness, fear, or pain, Heart Demon."
A smile bloomed on her scarred face as she said, "My tears pour down because of happiness. Even someone like me was accepted, Heart Demon. Even after that woman knew what I went through, she accepted me with wide open arms and created a cozy place inside her heart for me to rest comfortably. Therefore, you can't scare me or affect me with these things. Moreover..."
Kali said, smiling calmly, "...I know for a fact that she won't let me down even if she doesn't know I'm fighting with you. Her light is not something darkness as weak as yourself can compete against."
And at that precise moment, the shine of the Celestial bodies throughout Kali's soul world multiplied, blowing the darkness away like the Morning Sun!
The Heart Demon's body cracked in innumerable places as it released an inhuman screech that couldn't be put into words.
"You've been tormenting me for long enough. Now, disappear."
Kali then poked it with one finger, and from the point where her finger poked it, the maw slowly disappeared into light particles, creating a shower of golden specks that purified her soul!
Those particles fell on the floor and bloomed into different vegetation. A big part of the lifeless world blossomed into a beautiful forest full of life. The part that was being purified was a total of fifty percent of her soul world!
The forest that was about to be consumed shone with a gentle light as it disintegrated the miasma.
It wasn't a violent end. It was peaceful and beautiful. Even the screeching of the maw stopped when half of its body was gone, as if it was calmly converting itself into what it was before.
A gentle breeze blew through the Soul World, and the energy from the restoring part of her soul world rushed toward her in multiple green streams.
However, Kali heard a thought in her subconsciousness that told her to store it instead of absorbing it.
She didn't know where this thought came from, but Kali instinctively obeyed it. She guided all of that energy and created a cocoon. It was a beautiful green cocoon that contained pure Life, Nature, and Wood energies.
When she finished guiding that energy, the Heart Demon completely dissolved. Kali looked toward the last golden specks falling into the ground, and a smile appeared on her face. It was a smile that regained a part of her previous innate gentleness, "Goodbye, Heart Demon."
