Chapter 749: Location for the summit. Swordmaster Eira.

The Forest Sky Empress spoke. "The place is called [Ascending Ocean City], a coastal city controlled by the Mermaid Race.

Evelyn tilted her head and commented. "A curious name."

The Forest Sky Empress laughed. "The city is special because it is half sunken into the sea and half afloat. If you looked at it without knowing, it might look like a city that was swallowed by the sea. However, there are plenty of people living there, as it is one of the Mermaid Race's main cities, with over 800 million inhabitants, counting both sea and land species."

Yasenia became interested and asked. "Do you have an illustration of it? I would love to see how it looks."

The Empress nodded and showed her the sight of a massive city that spread from inland into the sea. On the dividing part where the sea began engulfing the buildings, you could see a change in architecture. It was a charming and prosperous city.

Tatyana asked her. "How many people can each power carry over there? I doubt that it is limitless."

The Forest Sky Empress answered respectfully. "Lady Tatyana, each power can gather up to 100 powerhouses for the visit. Each power will also put forth five participants, and up to 300 Ethereal Soul and below experts are allowed to accompany the main party."

Andrea asked. "Powerhouses?"

It was Coraline who clarified. "People in the Epoch Core Realm."

Andrea realized and nodded. "Thanks, Coraline."

Coraline frowned and tapped her forehead. "Didn't I tell you to call me mother? You are little Ebirah's partner, so we are basically family."

Andrea felt a bit bashful and nodded, scratching her cheek with a finger. "Okay, Mother."

Coraline smiled, satisfied, and tiptoed to pat Andrea's tall head. "Good."

During the last few years, Coraline has observed Andrea's personality and attitude closely, and she couldn't feel more relaxed in leaving Ebirah to her.

While acting was possible, hiding the true nature during all the time she had looked over them was impossible. It was clear that Andrea was an honorable, just, reliable, and hard-working woman. Leaving her daughter with a person like that was nothing but relaxing for Coraline.

So, after realizing what kind of person Andrea was, Coraline didn't even care if she was a human and treated Andrea as if she were her own child.

Tatyana looked at Yasenia and asked teasingly. "What are the arrangements, Sect Master?"

Yasenia thought and commented seriously. "All 50 maids will come; Ebirah and Sierra count as an extra two powerhouses, making that 52. Then, we can arrange all the middle-level Epoch Core and above. With this, filling the 100 total quotas will be easy."

After absorbing Holy Maple City, the sect's population quite literally multiplied by ten after one round of recruiting, making the number of people inside break through the 500,000 mark with as many as 600 Epoch Cores. Between those, about 90 are middle-level Epoch Cores, and 2 are High-level Epoch Cores, not taking into account the maids.

Compared to before, it was a large improvement.

While thinking about that, Yasenia called someone with the help of the formation.

After waiting for a few seconds, a harpy appeared, flapping her brow wings. "You called, Yasenia?"

Tengliu's eyebrow raised, looking at the woman who appeared as if she didn't recognize her. 'Such a big change.'

The dragoness nodded and explained the situation. "Ghana, you will be in charge of the entire sect when I leave with the maids." Ghana's eyes opened, and Yasenia smirked. "It's time to show me if all my nurturing has been worth it or not."

Ghana smiled, delighted, and bowed deeply, not caring about her naked chest bouncing. "I'll do my best, Sect Master!"

Evelyn sighed with emotion. "Harpies are such a wonderful race."

BANG!

Ignoring the woman who flew in a perfect arc, the Nine Golden Body Sect Patriarch was also here, and he asked. "Yasenia, who are you sending to participate in this summit?"

Yasenia smiled and pointed at herself.

The leaders froze, and The Forest Sky Empress approached with a worried look. "Little Yasenia, I know you are strong, but the people we will send are not weak at all. Isn't it too risky? What if there is an accident?"

Yasenia shook her head. "I need to hone my skills. This is a chance I can't let go of. Andrea, Kali, and Cecile will also participate together with me. As for the fifth participant, I'll ask Eira to come forth."

Tengliu tilted her head, not knowing who this person was. "Eira? I've never heard that name."

Yasenia smiled and looked to her right. "Come here, Eira."

They turned their heads, and a pure white woman stole their breath away.

A petite human woman wearing a white ethereal dress and carrying a silver sword hiding in its white scabbard on her waist stepped forward. Her hair was similarly white, and her eyes were silver, making her pupils and iris barely distinguishable from her sclera. With a lithe and delicate figure, her beauty was similar to the reflection of the Moon: delicate, cold, and illusory.

Even her eyelashes, eyebrows, and skin were white without looking sickly. It was an ethereal white color that gave a sense of mystery and beauty. The only color on her face came from her pursed petal lips, which added a charm to her overall being.

The short woman rested her hand on the pommel of her sword and bowed lightly. "Young Miss, did you call?"

Eira's voice was like a clear stream of water trickling down a mountain path, pleasant and relaxing.

Yasenia saw the various leaders' lips twitch when they realized that her fifth participant was a maid. She couldn't help but laugh a bit and present her while placing her hand on her fluffy white hair. "She is a Level Six Dantian Spiritualization specialized in the Sword Path, one of my maids. In your words, she is middle-level Epoch Core on the verge of breaking through into the High-Level Epoch Core. The limit for this summit was as such, right?"

Eira's silver eyes turned toward them, and the leaders felt like someone was poking them with an absurdly sharp sword.

The feeling around Eira was that of a sheathed sword hiding her cold edge. Still, they could feel that once she revealed her sharpness, it would be extremely dangerous.

Tengliu frowned, bewildered. "Why do I feel as much danger coming from her as some of your strongest maids, Little Yasenia? She is relatively low-level, right?"

Yasenia hugged Eira over her shoulders, burying her cold face in her breasts, and proudly said. "Eira is a genius sword master who reached the [Sword Intent Level Nine] right after entering the Dantian Spiritualization Realm. She has the [Divine Sky Sword] constitution, boasting the greatest single target lethality between all my mortal maids."

Yasenia grinned. "In a way, she has talent no less than my own."

The leaders almost choked. 'Level what now!? And just after entering the fifth realm!? What about now?'

Yasenia saw their faces and laughed, answering their unasked question. "She is still at level nine, which is the limit, due to her lack of cultivation. However, she has perfected her Sword Intent to a terrifying point."

Yasenia looked down and smiled. "I'm honestly unsure how strong she is."

They looked at Eira's cold face with wonder, but their expressions immediately crumbled when the aloof and pure woman with a flushed face and rubbing herself in the dragoness's arms, sniffing around with an intoxicated expression. "Young Miss's scent~. Young Miss's body~. So nice~, so soft~. Young Miss~, Young Miss~."

Yasenia smiled and used her tail to Pat her head. The woman almost began purring in comfort.

Tatyana smiled. "Her talent, combat-wise, is not much worse than Yasenia's before she got the Body Realm Cultivation Technique. When I picked her up in an orphanage, I really couldn't believe my eyes. She is one of the few maids who passed most of my training regime without spilling blood. A true unparalleled genius."

Coraline saw her obedient form and asked with a soft laugh. "When did she become so fond of little Yasenia?"

Tatyana smiled. "When Yasenia first saw her when she was little, she stuck to her and showered Eira with compliments because of her appearance. Eira was so flustered at that time that she didn't know what to do; it was her first time interacting with children, after all, hahaha. While taking care of young Yasenia, she naturally came to like her as protective feelings sprouted in her."

Alaia, at the side, smiled. "Eira has an entire wall filled with Yasenia's photos in her personal room." Then, she chuckled. "I still remember that one time she secretly stole Yasenia's sheets to replace her own. She got quite a scolding back then."

The leaders looked at them with cold sweat on their foreheads. 'Why are these two looking at that as if it were endearing!? Isn't Eira a completely obsessed woman!? A sickly obsessed one, at that!'

Evelyn muttered. "Oh! She is one of the Yandere Tatyana spoke about in the past!"

Tatyana proudly smiled. "One of my people!"

The Forest Sky Empress was curious and asked. "Eira, can you attack me once with the intent to kill? I want to see your strength."

Eira ignored her, but Yasenia asked softly. "Can you show her?"

Eira paused and looked at the Forest Sky Empress with an annoyed face for interrupting her cuddle time with Yasenia.

Separating from her arms, Eira's entire demeanor changed as she became as cold as a 1000-year-old piece of ice. "Sure. Don't die."

The Forest Sky Empress felt a chill climb up her spine as her instincts tingled. She flew upward, and Eira followed, leisurely floating about five kilometers apart.

When Eira grabbed her sword's hilt and began unsheathing it, the world around her dimmed, making her pure white appearance glow as if she were the center of the World.

HOWL!

With a piercing sword howl, everything around Eira began being cut into pieces, air included. Sword lights radiated from her, and those that landed on the ground cut the floor.

Her long white hair fluttered with the wind generated, and the further her sword was released from her scabbard, the sharper the aura became.

The hard stone in the Tribulation Plaza was like mud meeting a sword, being lacerated left and right.

The Forest Sky Empress's expression hardened as she unhesitatingly used all of her defensive skills. The sight of the floor that could resist Heavenly Tribulation being sliced was a good warning of what was about to come.

Eira continued unsheathing her sword, and when the tip of her silver sword entirely left the scabbard, her eyes began glowing with an ethereal silver light as her piercing aura fully unleashed and the hurricane of sword lights disappeared, leaving a silent aura around Eira.

However, that calm was 100 times more fearful than the raging storm.

The Forest Sky Empress's heart sank, and she stuttered. "W-Wait."

It was too late.

After gathering her energy, Eira moved her sword diagonally. "[Sword Intent Level Nine], [Sky Splitter]."

SLASH!

The strike was so fast that the friction with the air created a blinding flash of light.

The Forest Sky Empress hastily used one of her strongest defensive items. "[Sky Forest Mountain]!"

A massive island, two kilometers across, appeared in between them.

Silence followed the sword strike, only leaving Eira's actions

Eira flicked her sword once and returned it to its sheath, floating downwards like a little bird returning to her nest and snuggling in Yasenia's arms again.

The people were frightened and looked at the stiffened Forest Sky Empress in the sky.

Then, a line appeared alongside the giant mountain that extended backward.

BANG!

The mountain was divided diagonally and revealed the Forest Sky Empress. They were glad that she was okay, but their faces changed when the same started happening to her.

From her shoulder to her waist, a red line spread, bursting with blood right after.

The Forest Sky Empress vomited a liter of blood as she fell from the sky, her eyes filled with horror. 'Oh, my heavens, I almost died! If it weren't for my protective artifact. I would've been sliced in half!'

A rumbling sound was heard by them, making the people confused, and following the sound, they saw a mountaintop in the distance crumbling sideways. Their eyes began twitching as all their instincts rejected the idea of facing Eira.

Looking back at the sweetly smiling petite girl in Yasenia's arms, they gulped. 'Monster.'

Tatyana smiled at the Forest Sky Empress. "This is a good lesson. The worst thing you can do against a sword master is give them time to prepare. Even if they are a realm below, sword masters can kill people with one hit if the conditions are right." Then, she praised the heavily injured woman. "Still, your body is extremely resilient. You managed to block the attack, which is praiseworthy."

The Forest Sky Empress didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she smiled tremblingly. "T-Thank you for the advice. It would've been nice hearing it one minute before, though."

Tengliu approached Yasenia with a coquettish smile. "Yasenia, can you ask Lady Eira to be merciful toward our participants?"

'Joke! A single sword strike almost killed a top-10 powerhouse. How can weak middle-level Epoch Cores resist!?'

Eira moved her eyes, glaring at Tengliu, making the bird freeze in her steps.

Yasenia laughed. "Don't worry, she won't participate unless our life is endangered. She is there mostly to take care of us than to participate. If we lose, that's that. Only if people try to kill me will she step forward."

The leaders sighed in relief. 'If that monster could participate at will, they might as well forget from fighting for the first place.'
