Chapter 861: Yasenia's Challenge.
Tai Yang looked around with discerning eyes and commented. "Oh? You are not in the Sky Continent. This place… I don't recognize it."
Change'er, her usually indifferent face now tinged with a hint of surprise, scanned her surroundings. "Is this a new World?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
Tai Yang commented. "Most likely."
Change'er, her voice filled with intrigue, mused. "Fascinating. The lower heavens are truly a realm of constant change, and it is worth thinking that a new world has emerged in just one million years. Moreover, the energy here is also of high quality… or not. Wait."
Change'er directed her silver eyes toward the horizon, and her spiritual sense enveloped the entire world in less than an instant. Tai Yang did the same, and then he smiled. "I see. This place has been modified by formations. Yes, the energy level outside the basin is what I expected of a world of this level."
Change'er agreed. "Solid formations for a world of this level. The talent is good enough that I wouldn't have minded taking them into the [Everlasting Moon Palace Sect] as an outer sect disciple."
Tai Yang nodded and returned his gaze toward Yasenia's imposing look. He crossed his arms and commented. "Not a bad use of the [Celestial Pearl] for someone at your level. You've increased your affinity with the Celestial Element inside you enough that your body has received changes." He shook his head and sighed. "That's not a good thing, junior."
The dragoness smiled. "I see. Then, how about you take this chance to guide me? I'm your inheritor at the end of the day, even though I've received nothing besides Heavenly Tribulations that increased my overall strength."
Tai Yang smiled. "Do you think that's very little?"
Yasenia shrugged. "I'm not sure. I'm not well-versed in inheritances. However, they usually have some kind of cultivation method and a special technique that you, the ones creating the inheritance, want to pass down to younger generations, right?"
Tai Yang sighed. "You are ignorant, and while making questions is good, insisting on them is not a thing you should do."
"Why not?"
The cold voice of a woman came from the side, startling Tai Yang and Change'er. Looking over, an aloof red-haired and green-eyed voluptuous woman was looking in their direction.
The second they saw her, both of them paused. They were incomplete as soul remnants, so they couldn't discern Mirrory's underlying strength. Yet, that fact was not reassuring for them. Even when looking at Tatyana's main body, they could tell her cultivation level with a glance.
The woman before them felt as if she was covered by a veil of mystery, profound, ethereal, and immeasurable.
Change'er asked, her voice cooling down. "Who are you?"
Mirrory's lips arched coldly as she looked at Yasenia. "Do you mind if I have a word with them?"
Yasenia moved her galactic blue eyes, her golden pupils leaving light trails in the air, and commented. "My current state is not unlimited."
Mirrory smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. Here." She waved her hand, accompanied by another moan of annoyance from Angel, and Yasenia felt her body's energy strangely freeze.
Both Gods' faces changed while Tai Yang muttered. "Energy freezing? That's not something a Demi-god level cultivator can do with such finesse. Name yourself."
Mirrory looked at Tai Yang with a piercing gaze. "Who do you think you are to order me around, Sun God?"
Nobody other than Tatyana and Valeria noticed, but a ripple spread around the world from Mirrory as a center point, making the faces of both gods twist with incredulity. "That's-."
Mirrory shut them up with an overbearingly imposing tone that left no room to argue. "Enough."
Yasenia was stunned when Tai Yang and Change'er actually stopped talking, and they looked at Mirrory with severe expressions. Mirrory disappeared and appeared before them in less than a blink of an eye.
This nonsensical speed left everyone gasping in surprise. "Now…" Mirrory waved her hand, isolating her conversation with them from everyone, Yasenia and the girls included.
The dragoness looked at them from the ground with a frown, feeling that Mirrory was taking things a bit too far. A message reached her just as she thought that. 'I'm finished, don't worry.'
Then, Mirrory disappeared and reappeared by Angel's side once more. Tai Yang and Change'er kept looking at Mirrory, their eyes deep and full of thoughts.
Yasenia looked skyward and felt like they were looking down on her too much. At this moment, her every aura was circling inside her, her meridians, muscles, veins, organs, soul, and Dantian working as one to increase her strength to the limits. This didn't only increase her strength; her Dragon Pride was also incredibly enhanced.
While the dragoness had managed to control her instincts to almost a perfect point, as she increased in realms, those instincts became stronger.
Before Mirrory could undo the Energy Freezing, Yasenia's body tensed, and all the internal shackles she allowed on her exploded into pieces with a massive explosive sound.
BOOM!
Mirrory hadn't really placed any restrictions, but even then, breaking the shackles was something that none of the seniors expected.
"Hey."
Yasenia's voice echoed around like the voice of the cosmos.
"This is my Heavenly Tribulation. My Trial. I allow you to exist in my trial because you benefit me with an inheritance. Do you think you two can just do as you please and control it at will? Do you still look at me as the same creature before my rebirth?"
The tone of the dragon was imposing, hitting everyone's hearts like hammers.
Tai Yang and Change'er looked at Yasenia with frowns. "Junior, we are your seniors at the end of the day. Show some respect."
Yasenia's lips arched in an unmistakable sneer. "Then, act like seniors in the first place. Respect is not an inherent quality, regardless of age. It is earned. Now, let's start."
Her energy circled and gathered at her throat as she took in a deep breath and roared skyward. "[CELESTIAL DRAGON ROAR]!"
ROAR!
BOOOM!
The soundwave ripped the air asunder, creating a deafening and powerful blast-like sound that spread and hit the walls of the protective formation like a hammer.
BANG!
Many took a step back out of fear and respect for the Empyrean Dragon's Cry's authority. As if answering her, the sky thundered with a sound that actually placed the weak-hearted to their knees.
RUMBLE!
Tai Yang and Change'er looked at the Tribulation Clouds with ugly faces. 'She could trigger it without our intervention?'
Tai Yang spoke, his tone laced with intrigue. "I don't know if you know it, but you are not facing an ordinary Tribulation, Yasenia. This Tribulation cloud is a Quasi-Transcendent Heavenly Tribulation. Now, how would you feel if we made a small change to it?"
Yasenia summoned Draconic Heart. The massive blue sword materialized as a red core that quickly transformed into a larger-than-usual, two-meter-long blade. The enormous sword gleamed with inherent beauty and sharpness, covered in draconic scales as the core thumped like an actual heart.
Moreover, when the hilt landed in Yasenia's hand, her energy seeped into the weapon's core, changing its color scheme. A galactic blue filled with starlight swallowed the red color, making it appear as if it had a small universe inside the fist-sized orb. With that change, the aura of the weapon materialized, coating it in a nebula-like aura.
Like a Celestial Warrior Goddess, Yasenia looked skyward with an aloof and magnificent pose, as if the Heavenly Tribulation, large enough to instill fear in leaders like Tengliu, was nothing but a minor obstacle.
Change'er looked at that sword with a frown. 'That sword… Quasi-transcendent? No… It's different. It's not a Transcendence-level weapon yet… So strange.'
The dark world that had swallowed the place was illuminated when the first Heavenly Tribulation appeared between the pure black clouds.
The size, strength, and energy of the first Heavenly Lightning Bolt that appeared made everyone feel their heart drop.
"S-Sect master has to fight 81 of those bolts?"
However, an experienced cultivator at the side said solemnly. "81? Na?ve."
Not many understood what that cultivator meant, but there was no need to answer as the sky started becoming illuminated with incredibly powerful Lightning Serpents.
Two Heavenly Lightning Bolts… Fourteen Heavenly Lightning Bolts… Fifty Heavenly Lightning Bolts…
One after another appeared with increasing speed, making it appear like it had just started.
Eighty… One Hundred… Two Hundred and fifty… Three Hundreed….
The people looking were wearing pale faces as the unending condemnation of the Heavens toward the Celestial Dragon was gathered.
Five hundred… Six hundred… Seven hundred… and finally, it stopped.
A low-level cultivator had their teeth chattering as she asked. "H-H-How m-m-m-m-many a-are t-t-t-there?"
A senior answered, his voice trembling in fear. "S-Seven hundred and four."
The low-level cultivator almost pissed her pants. "S-Seven hundred!? H-How is Sect Master supposed to beat this nonsense!?"
Cecile was nearby and answered, her voice spreading around and carrying her aloof and freezing tone. "How, you ask?" Cecile looked at that low-level cultivator from above. "With overwhelming strength. How else?"
However, the Heavenly Tribulation was far from done. The bolts began moving and colliding with one another, filling the entire world with the sound that pure destruction in its rawest form could create.
The screeching sky as the bolts merged made many low-level cultivators fall down, their legs failing them. Yet, some people were mesmerized, not by the bolts, but by the creature facing them.
Even when the terrifying sky was clearly something out of a catastrophic event that could annihilate a large part of the continent, the dragon woman stood unflinching, looking skyward while holding her giant sword horizontally with one arm.
Her facial expression didn't show a single sign of fear, worry, or any similar emotions. There was only an innate majesty monarchs had and a feeling of overwhelming confidence. It was not arrogance but a sense of belief in oneself, even when the odds of surviving were probably non-existent.
The aura of the dragon, even while the size was not nearly close in comparison to the Heavenly Tribulation, the power behind it was no less. It felt like a star in the middle of a hostile universe, trying to illuminate the vastness of the dark cosmos with its overwhelming inner power.
This sight was so incredibly fantastical that most that looked couldn't look away.
The two Gods moved when the bolts stopped colliding and created a total of 32 Heavenly Lightning Soldiers.
Tai Yang and Change'er pointed skyward without saying much and fired two beams into the Heavenly Tribulation Clouds while looking down at Yasenia.
Once the beams touched the clouds, they started merging with them and created 34 extra lightning bolts, 17 being gold colored and the rest being silver.
Without any delay, those bolts fell and smashed on the heads of all the Tribulation soldiers. However, this would leave two of those bolts free. These two bolts were swift and entered the last Heavenly Tribulation Soldier.
Yasenia looked on as incredible changes occurred.𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com
