Heaven, Earth, Me

While the Supreme Lord’s strength skyrocketed, Yasenia was not idle. She closed her eyes and focused on her [Black Hole Energy Core]. ‘Show me… Show me your limits.’

With her will, the Black Hole Energy Core started sucking energy like crazy and radiating it into her body. The core spun increasingly quickly, the ridiculous energy body being so powerful that it was forcefully accelerating the rotation speed of the Celestial Energy Star. 

The Celestial Energy Star felt a sense of competition for the first time and didn’t fall behind, its rotation speed accelerating as well. The [Primordial Energy Core] in Yasenia’s dantian worked overtime, transforming all the energy that entered through all of Yasenia’s pores and throwing it toward both super Celestial Bodies in the middle of Yasenia’s Dantian.

The dragoness felt the oceans of energy pouring through her thick and strengthened meridians. Her body started to feel as if she was bloating, forcing a dragon roar out of her. 

“ROAAAR!”

BOOOOM!

The Supreme Lord’s aura had been growing endlessly during this time, slowly eclipsing Yasenia. However, the second Yasenia’s deep and rumbling dragon roar exploded, everything changed. 

A pillar of Celestial Light shot to the sky as Yasenia’s hair rustled wildly. Her dress fluttered ethereally, and her cold and emotionless face shone with the aura of a monarch. War Intent and Celestial Intent were both deployed, and then the Body and Spiritual cultivation started revolving inside of her with the energy from her Energy Core and a part of the energy from the Celestial Energy Star.

The pressure around her was so concentrated that space itself began twisting. 

As Yasenia slowly increased her strength to the limit, the Supreme Lord finally broke through.

RUMBLE!

A massive tribulation appeared above his head, surprising everyone. After all, this place was supposed to have no Heaven. Tatyana squinted and then realized, her face gaining a touch of disbelief. “The Major Heaven of this Lower Heaven is actually doing his tribulation?”

Mirrory crossed her arms and frowned. “For that to occur… His destiny must be very strong. Yasenia might actually be in trouble.”

As they talked, they saw the man look skyward and accumulate a ridiculous amount of energy around him. The deep and profound energy went far beyond the limits of a Mortal Realm cultivator. 

[Unique Skill Activation! <Heaven Shattering Soul>.]

“BREAK!”

His palm shot skyward, and then the sky cracked. 

BOOM!

An explosion occurred right after, scattering the Heavenly Tribulation as if it was made out of normal clouds. Right after, a pillar of pure Soul Energy descended from the skies and enveloped the Supreme Lord.

The girls looked on with terrified faces. Evelyn asked quickly, her mind not keeping up. “W-What happened, Tatyana!? What happened to the Transcendent Tribulation!?” 

Tatyana’s face was solemn and somewhat angered. “He broke the Tribulation using his stupid Heavenly Gift. What a joke!”

Mirrory and Valeria also had ugly expressions, their disdain toward the Supreme Lord oozing from their pores. Evelyn was still unsure of what they meant, so she asked again, wanting clarification. Tatyana answered with thick disdain in her voice. “He has a skill enhanced by Heavenly Energies that can directly counteract tribulations. Of course, he had neither developed nor learned this skill. It is similar to a [Innate Skill], but the principle is completely different.”

Mirrory shook her head. “No effort, no real strength. All was given to him with a golden spoon. He is insulting what other Cultivators go through.” 

Evelyn and the others still failed to understand what they meant. However, they didn’t insist since the pressure emanating from the man was increasing by the second, reaching a level that made it hard for them to breathe. Andrea’s face was laced with disbelief. “So… He broke through, just like that?”

The Supreme Lord laughed wildly, his voice echoing throughout the entire place with thick disdain and haughtiness. “You, Dragon, threw away your only opportunity of beating me. Your arrogance is truly unmatched, typical of dragons, I must say.”

Yasenia looked at the man floating in mid-air with an indifferent expression. “Are you satisfied? Or do you need to brag a bit more to make yourself hard?”

The Supreme Lord chuckled. “Such words are like the ramblings of a rabid dog for me. You, who has yet to reach the Sixth Realm, are no match for me.” The man smiled faintly and asked, his tone sincere. “How about this. Since you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, you’ll become my wife from now on. Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat you. Such a unique creature is naturally not something I am willing to stomp down. Moreover, you Dragons adore the strong, right? You should have some feelings for this Lord!”

Yasenia glanced at him for a few seconds before sneering. “Do you really think that you are invincible now?” Yasenia extended her right hand, and Draheart appeared in her hand in the form of a giant sword. Then, she waved her left hand, and Soluna manifested by her side. With a flick of her tail, Dramel appeared behind her, floating gorgeously. 

Yasenia glanced at the Supreme Lord and spoke. “Let’s move upward to space. You wouldn’t want that spring below us to be annihilated by mistake, right?”

The Supreme Lord shook his head. “I can suppress you with a single move. However, I will play with you until you are satisfied.”

Both of them flashed skyward, quickly reappearing in the middle of the void. The rest naturally followed.

Once there, Yasenia glanced at the Supreme Lord and pointed her sword at him. “I have not used my entire strength since my last breakthrough, so I can’t control it. If you die, don’t blame me.”

The Supreme Lord crossed his arms and smiled. “Sure. I can throw back those words straight at you, though.”

Yasenia looked and waved her hand. Dramel started playing the gorgeous tune [Lyra’s Harmony] produced. Moving her steps along the rhythm, Yasenia slowly moved her energy along her meridians. She knew that the person in front of her wouldn’t interrupt her, so she took her time to prepare a simultaneous activation. 

“[Celestial Cosmos Dress], manifest.”

Her revealing blue dress changed into a gorgeous and noble white and blue long dress with the image of the Sun, Moon, and the stars. The dress fluttered with Yasenia’s charming dance as she spoke again.

“[Celestial Dragon Body], [Celestial Assimilation], [Celestial Field Master]... manifest.”

The Celestial Energy Star spun widely inside her Dantian and flooded her body with Celestial Energy.

BOOOM!

After attaining peak-level Dantian Spiritualization Realm, she could now control the Celestial Energy much easier. Hence, it was much less taxing to keep up the skills compared to before.

As Yasenia’s aura strengthened, the relaxed smile on the Supreme Lord’s face started to fade, his eyes flashing with disbelief. The pressure on the woman was already ridiculous for a mortal-level cultivator. However, it seemed to be nothing but the beginning. 

“[Cosmos Dragon Imperial Suppression], [Celestial Yin and Yang Body], and my blood, [Empyrean Cosmos Dragon], give me strength.” 

A profound ripple spread outward, harmonizing Yasenia’s presence with the energy around her. As Yasenia moved, it felt like she had become one with the cosmos. Then, her closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a gorgeous pair of celestial blue irises and glowing slit pupils. They were like a galaxy that could encompass all the stars of the universe.

Yasenia took a step forward and uttered softly, her voice echoing with a powerful presence. “[Empyrean Galaxy Domain].”

Everything disappeared in front of the Supreme Lord’s eyes, leaving behind a space filled with stars, the Sun, and the Moon. The spiral galaxy rotating above both of them seemed to hold tens of thousands of stars.

When he looked up, Yasenia’s voice reached him. “[Heavenly Constellation Steps, First Sky: Pegasus Gallop].”

Looking forward again, Yasenia had disappeared and reappeared in front of him, her face calm and peaceful. “[Empyrean Celestial Collapse].”

The Supreme Lord’s face changed and he quickly summoned his sword, slashing against Yasenia’s Draheart. “[Soul Splitting Slash]!”

The Supreme Lord’s sword slashed upward, and when they collided, he expected a terrifying aftershock to occur. Yet, the sensation was as if he had hit nothing. Using his recently gained perception, his eyes widened. ‘Her sword has sliced my sword!?’

“[Meteor Soul Shield]!”

An orange shield appeared in front of him right before Yasenia’s descending sword collided. 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The Supreme Lord’s face changed, and his entire body was flying toward the void as if he had been struck by a literal meteor. ‘H-How!?’

“Cough!” Coughing once to relieve himself from the sensation of suffocation, he quickly stabilized himself and exchanged his broken sword with a new one. 

Yasenia quickly chased after and reappeared in front of him again, her speed ridiculously high. She slashed once more, her rivers of energy pouring into her sword like crazy. “[Sun Core Shattering Strike].”

In the middle of the void, a golden Sun was born. The darkness was illuminated with the glorious bright light and the freezing surroundings heated up. The Supreme Lord knew that clashing head on was not clever, so he decided to dodge backward. 

However, when he was about to do so, he felt a hot and freezing aura appeared behind him. Looking over, the Spirit of the Sun and Moon was standing there, her face cold as she palmed forward. “[Sun And Moon Palm].”

“You both!? [Soul Burst]!”

From the middle of his body, a massive soul explosion occurred, crashing against Soluna’s and Yasenia’s attacks.

BOOM!

Yasenia and Soluna retreated several hundred meters after the collision. However, that didn’t affect them in the slightest. Soluna pointed forward, and Yasenia took a deep breath.

“[Celestial Dragon Breath].”

“[Sun Bathed Moonbeam].”

ROAR!

The Supreme Lord’s heart sped up. Blocking the previous attack had actually caused backlash, making his soul hurt. However, he needed to defend again. “[Meteor Soul Shield]!”

BOOOOOOM!

His face changed when both attacks hit his shield, contorting it due to the effort he needed to do to keep up his defenses. “How is this possible, System!? I have reached the Soul King Palace Realm! Didn’t you say that those beneath Soul King Palace Realm were as weak as ants!?” 

[... Unable to answer.]

Yasenia and Soluna, buffed by Lyra’s Harmony, didn’t stop for a second and attacked once more. 

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Their bodies streaked across the void, repeatedly pushing the Supreme Lord back and leaving him with no option to counterattack. However, while they were able to suppress him, breaching through the defense of the man was a problem.

Yasenia observed and smiled faintly. “It’s time to use my Body Cultivation buffs as well, it seems. [Celestial Cosmos Body Reinforcement].”

The Supreme Lord’s face changed when Yasenia’s aura became even more profound, looking like an endless sea. Then, the dragon woman disappeared from where she stood and reappeared right in front of him, her sword a few centimeters from touching his neck.

The Supreme Lord’s face changed, and he quickly focused his energy there. Draheart landed on his neck, and Yasenia’s body pushed her every muscle fiber to the limits. “Fly.”

BOOM!

The Supreme Lord’s reinforcement managed to stop Draheart from decapitating him, but there was a deep red line clearly visible, blood floating around due to the lack of natural gravity. 

The Supreme Lord’s aura exploded, and he shouted. “YOU DARE HURT THIS LORD!?”

Yasenia answered, raising her sword, her voice echoing in the surroundings as if it came from the cosmos itself. “Prepare yourself, Lord. [Absorption of Celestial Light: Day and Night Cycle]”

Yasenia’s aura skyrocketed once more, far surpassing her previous strength.
