After Yasenia reached the Sixth Realm in both Body and Beast paths, her entire self was reborn anew. The body was freed from all mortal shackles, and being so young, Yasenia gained pseudo-immortality. By now, her lifespan was well into the millions of years, making her semi-immortal.
Moreover, the bloodline that was stuck similarly had a breakthrough. When all beings looked at the six-meter-long Dragon, including her tail, their hearts felt as if a claw was grabbing it. The Low-Level Immortal Ranked Beast with a Mythical Beast Core was a true, unparalleled monster by itself. Then, adding the advantages of reaching the Undying Monarch Body Realm, she was able to break the void with sheer physical strength.
Yasenia looked up, her golden horns adorning her gorgeous head like a crown, and then her wings extended. They were proportionally much bigger than before, reaching over 10 meters in wingspan, almost double her entire length. On both gorgeous wings, the image of the Sun and Moon had become incredibly realistic, as the two celestial bodies were truly shining within her deep, glittering, night-blue scales.
She flapped her wings, and her body compressed space upward as she accelerated toward the Tribulation Clouds.
Black voids appeared in her wake as the Dragon coiled her arm back and punched the Heavenly Tribulation Cloud.
"Break."
CRASH!
BOOM!!!
Reality shattered. Even the glow of the stars disappeared as blackness swallowed everything above Yasenia. The shockwave rippled through space, reaching the Heaven Converging City and crashing against the massive protective formation.
The invisible shield rippled, making itself visible for a few seconds before disappearing.
Gulping sounds echoed through the city as most were looking wide-eyed at the monstrous Dragon glowing with strength in the middle of the shattered void.
RUMBLE!!!!
Space quickly reshaped itself, and the half-blown Tribulation Clouds reappeared. Then, Yasenia saw the Elemental Heavenly Lightning Bolts crashing into each other and gaining that particular multicolored shape. However, there was no panic in Yasenia's golden eyes, only an eerie calm as she observed the bolts clashing against each other in sonorous rumbling sounds.
Some people who had been observing the battlefield muttered with disbelief. "A second [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier]? Heaven had this much strength left!?"
While the Tribulation Soldier formed, Yasenia dealt with the two beings inside her soul. She glanced at them, her golden gaze seemingly pinning them down through sheer pressure.
Change'er's face was gloomy, thinking of ways to deal with the increasingly powerful dragoness. "Yasenia. Listen—"
But she didn't.
Ignoring her words, Yasenia lunged forward at a speed that looked like a blurry shadow for both gods, and she punched Change'er's face.
Her fist, wrapped in the durable scales, landed straight on the middle of her face. If she weren't a soul body, that would've broken her nose and other bones of her face.
BOOM!
Change'er flew across the sky like a shooting star. Tai Yang's face changed, and he rushed at her. However, Yasenia ignored her and turned into a blue ray of light, streaking through her massive soul and overcoming the Moon Goddess in the distance. Tai Yang's eyes widened. 'What is this speed?'
After reappearing behind the Moon Goddess, Yasenia spun and used her entire body to carry as much strength as possible toward her long leg.
'Danger!'
The Moon Goddess curled her tail behind her back, trying her best to defend against the inevitable attack, but it was futile.
Whoosh!
BOOOM!!!!
The power behind Yasenia's kick created a flash of light through the sheer amount of Soul Power behind the kick. Change'er's eyes widened with pain as she felt her own soul flicker. Her body helplessly flew across the void, only to be overcome by Yasenia. Following such, a barrage of blows fell on the body of the Moon Goddess without any sign of stopping, creating a cacophony of explosive sounds.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Tai Yang wanted to interfere. However, every time, Yasenia would just dodge him and speed toward the Moon Goddess.
"YASENIA! YOU DARE!?"
Tai Yang's shout made the cold face of the Dragon Woman gain a sneer. Instead of hitting the flickering soul of the Moon Goddess, she stopped behind her and extended her claw, grabbing her face.
BANG!
The sound of her face colliding with the solid claw was anything but pleasant. Looking at the silver eyes between her dragon claw, Yasenia's golden eyes identified one emotion she very much wanted to see in these two. Her lips arched coldly as she spoke slowly. "You… Fear me."
Change'er's heart shuddered. They had miscalculated Yasenia's potential. They sorely miscalculated to the point that their best estimates were not worthy of being compared to the monster standing in front of her. 'Her strength is on par with people with Intent Domains even when she has none!'
Tai Yang appeared a few hundred meters away from Yasenia and spoke with an angered growl. "Yasenia, let her go!"
"Or what?" Yasenia looked at the Sun God while tightly clutching the face of the Moon Goddess's Soul Strand. "What will you do? What can you do?" Yasenia looked at him with a pair of calm, golden eyes. "You failed. Utterly and thoroughly. Your plan failed to the point that you didn't even force me to lose what I wanted to protect the most."
Tai Yang's eyes flashed, and his gaze moved toward Yasenia's stomach. Yasenia's lips arched. "That's right. My baby is fine after reconstructing my body." Her gaze moved to the side, and Tai Yang followed it. In the distance, he could see a transparent location with a small light floating in the middle of what looked like a lake made out of cosmic dust.
Tai Yang's eyes widened. "You…" He looked at Yasenia with disbelief. "You are insane! You actually created a womb in your soul to protect your child!?"
Yasenia raised her eyebrow. "I did. Henceforth, my children will always be safe as long as my soul remains." Her cold eyes landed on Change'er, who was kicking and clawing at her body, trying to liberate herself from the tight claw clenching on her face like a vice. "Moon Goddess, Sun God. Now, it is time for my last breakthrough. For that, I'll need both of you."
Both beings stopped for a second before a light of realization flashed in their minds. Yasenia shook her head. "No, you still don't understand. The reason you don't understand is simple. You don't know how deep my Spiritual Path has truly advanced."
Waving her hand, the surrounding space bent due to the sheer density of the object materializing above them; the power it carried was tremendous.
A strong rumbling shook the place, and after a flash of blue light, the Celestial Energy Star manifested above them.
The galaxy blue star oppressively but slowly rotated above their heads. Around the star, a pure black accretion disk filled with starry lights made out of raw energy rotated. Still, both gods were knowledgeable about this star. They had seen it in the past, even when the size and amount of Celestial Energy within it were incomparably smaller. So, they were confused for a second… Only for a second, since the voracious beast hiding under the surface of the star made its presence known after that short moment of peace.
Yasenia released the Moon Goddess because it didn't matter anymore. Once that thing made its presence known, the faces of both gods became pale, and the sheer pressure emitted from it pushed them against the void below them. They helplessly fell to their knees, almost face-planting into the invisible ground Yasenia deployed below them.
Tai Yang lost his calm once more, and his stuttering and strained voice reached Yasenia. "I-Impossible…! T-This, it's impossible! You are faking it!"
Yasenia walked slowly, reaching his side as her gorgeous blue dress fluttered behind her. "Is it impossible? Perhaps it would be if I weren't pushed to such extremes that I bet everything on a single pill." She waved her hand, and the Celestial Energy Star opened to reveal the monster hiding beneath.
Seeing the infinitely black orb with a multicolored disk rotating in the place where the core of the Celestial Energy Star was supposed to be, their hearts fell a trace of despair for the first time. Change'er muttered. "[Black Hole Energy Core]..."
Yasenia floated upward, placing the Celestial Energy Star and Black Hole Energy Core right behind her. While looking down at them with such a spectacular sight behind her, Yasenia opened her mouth. "You were expecting it, right, Moon Goddess? There were times you showed signs of doubt. However, you never wanted to admit it. In your head, such a scene was impossible. After all, why wouldn't I use them to pressure both of you when I was weak?"
Both gods glared at Yasenia. "You… tricked us!"
"Wrong." Yasenia calmly refuted. "You both are needed for my advancement to be perfect and my baby to be completely safe. Honestly, you were very close to defeating me. If only you didn't push me until a hint of a Heart Demon appeared in me… Perhaps you would've had a better chance. That Heart Demon, being part of myself, allowed me to understand that my options were far from limited. Thanks to my deepest fear, I was able to think of a solution for my predicament." Yasenia laughed mockingly. "I should say thank you. I couldn't have done it without both of you."
Tai Yang and Change'er shouted simultaneously, not wanting to listen to her.
"[Sun Tracing Soul Shift]!"
"[Moon Shadow Soul Displacement]!"
Yasenia's eyebrows raised as both of them disappeared, rushing out of her soul to flee. They were completely terrified, and even if their chances were smaller in the next Tribulation, at least it wouldn't be a certain defeat like this time around.
However, as they escaped, the cold voice of three women reached them.
"Activate, [Ancient Soul Fate Sealing Formation]."
"Activate, [Divine Truth: Seal]."
"Activate, [Thousand Lives Sealing World]."
Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valeria's figures looked down as the two souls were pressured back by the three massive arrays and displays of power generated by them. Their souls came to an abrupt stop at the edge of Yasenia's soul, preventing their escape.
Mirrory's lips arched in a ruthless smile as her emerald green eyes looked at them with a mocking light. "You both had this coming since a million years ago. Now, it is time to become nothingness. Fu Jing Jing will look on from the afterlife as you two fail your schemes."
Valeria snorted, her calm gaze looking at them without any pity. "The lives lost because of both of you are too large even to quantify. Karma has finally caught up to both of you."
The last one, the red-eyed Death Empress, glared at them with so much chilling killing intent that it would freeze hell all over. "I saw both your ugly intentions from the beginning, but I was helpless at the time because I didn't know what consequences it would have on my Little Treasure. So, I've waited. I've waited patiently during this last century. Scum, trying not only to take over my daughter, but also my grandchild? The [Underworld] will look like a Heavenly Paradise once I am done with both of you."
Inside her soul, Yasenia smiled and spoke. "Thank you, Mom, Valeria, Mirrory." Then, she slowly extended her hand toward them. "Now, come over. It's time to seal your fate."
She then made a grasping motion, and two gargantuan dragon claws appeared from the void, clenching around the Moon Goddess and Sun God's bodies and pulling them over.
Their judgment hour was arriving.
