Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 859: Arriving at the Tribulation Plaza.

Yasenia put Angel and Kaleina down and approached quickly, but she didn't know what to do when she was before Tatyana. Her heart was beating fast, and her tail was moving around chaotically, showing her feelings at the moment. "That, um, that's."

Tatyana burst into laughter and approached, throwing her body into her embrace. "What are you so nervous about? It is your child growing up slowly~."

Yasenia carefully surrounded Tatyana's body with arms and nodded. "I know. I just… I thought it would take longer because nothing showed for a long time."

Tatyana smiled softly, her red-colored eyes shining with love. "Did you think it would take longer?"

Yasenia was honest as she nodded. "I was thinking about centuries."

Tatyana shrugged. "Well, it would usually take quite a while, that's for sure. Also, the fact that it has started showing doesn't mean that the pregnancy is advancing. There are many times when a creature grows a little because they need to in order to continue taking in nutrients, and then go back to being stagnant. So, the fact that the little one is growing doesn't mean that the pregnancy is advancing."

Cecile, who was listening from the side, asked. "Is that common between beasts?"

Tatyana nodded. "It is. I think I've commented on it before, but high-level creatures sometimes have centuries or even millennia as pregnancy terms. I'm a human…" Tatyana paused. "Well, something close enough to a human, so my pregnancy is similar to a human's."

Evelyn asked. "Say, what is your bloodline and constitution?"

Evelyn blinked. "You did?"

Tatyana nodded, quite surely. "I did."

Evelyn pondered and thought, her brows frowning. "I just don't seem to recall."

Tatyana shrugged. "Well, I can tell you again. My constitution is called [Death Devouring Seer Embodiment]. On the other hand, my bloodline is called [Abyssal Devourer]."

Andrea laughed. "That sounds strong. Also, what kind of bloodline is that?"

Mirrory appeared and commented. "One of the most searched bloodlines throughout the entire cultivation world."

Andrea blinked. "Really?"

Mirrory nodded. "I can't tell you her bloodline level for sure since her current body is just an avatar-like existence, but in the higher realms, all Abyssal Devourers were usually recruited by the [Calamity Abyss Extermination Slaughterer Sect]. Although…" Mirrory got thoughtful. "I guess that they might not even exist anymore after the Heavenly Cataclysm."

Tatyana lifted her eyebrow, not knowing anything about that name. "Any reason in particular they try to find people of that kind?"

Mirrory nodded. "They were the strongest sect that actively fought against the [True Abyss]. They had bases everywhere near every long-range teleportation formation. [Abyss Devourers] become stronger by devouring Abyssal energy; of course, they must be careful not to be infected and corrupted by it. However, you are something similar to the True Abyss' natural predator."

Mirrory looked at Tatyana with a raised eyebrow. "Abyssal Devourers were so scarce and precious that even Fu Jing Jing would not instantly kill those that fell into a demonic path. Instead, she gave them second chances to rectify their lives by dedicating their bodies to the fight against the True Abyss."

Evelyn grabbed her forehead. "There is so much information there… My head aches."

Tatyana shrugged and smiled. "Well, no offense to Respected Heavenly Truth Saint, but since the venerable one has passed away, whatever she did is not much of my interest."

Mirrory could hear the evident respect in Tatyana's voice and titles, something she was glad about, so she didn't take offense. "No problem. Although, in the past, many would pay a fortune just to hear those words from me."

Tatyana clicked her tongue. "Making money is so easy for the privileged ones, eh."

The ancient treasure deadpanned. "You are the one to speak?"

Tatyana lifted her eyebrow shamelessly. "I did. What can you do about it?"

Mirrory rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I don't fancy fighting pregnant women." Then, she disappeared into Angel's soul again, making Tatyana burst into laughter.

Yasenia looked at the laughing Tatyana and smirked. "You really like Mirrory, eh."

Tatyana blinked a few times and looked up at her with a cute pout. "Leave those words for yourself."

The girls continued to catch up on what they had done during these last nine months, and Yasenia was stunned by all the things that had happened. For example, their efforts in coordinated fighting allowed them to become a force to be reckoned with. Even average High-Level Epoch Cores were not a match when they worked together. Moreover, this was without adding the petite and cute blonde monster by their side.

Yasenia heard their reasoning for this practice and couldn't help but feel a complex wave of emotions. She felt glad that her dears were working hard, she felt a bit worried about the future, she also felt like their actions would place them in increasingly more danger as they became increasingly able to fight as one.

Their usual fighting strategy involved using Ebirah and Andrea as the frontline, while Sierra and Evelyn helped them with the burden. In the meantime, Kali supplied them with auras and summons, and Cecile targeted the weaker ones first to thin down their enemies.

If the enemy was a single person, Cecile would try to find and exploit weak points with her masterful accuracy and piercing attacks. They also practiced combination attacks to increase their options.

Angel, when participating, would not join the frontline, but instead stay back as she released her constant waves of formations with several effects to manipulate the battlefield to her whims. A formation master that could create them mid-battle was a terrifying existence as it was incredibly rare.

Only those born with enough talent were able to replicate what Angel did. It was not something that anyone could learn through hard work. Even Tatyana, who was a powerful and incredibly talented formation master, wasn't able to create functional and practical formations mid-battle like Angel did.

After their fruitful conversation, Yasenia planned on what to do. 'I'll dual cultivate with everyone for one week to satisfy their and my urges. Then, when I'm full of their Yin energies, I'll calm my mood for three days, meditating. Finally, after I prepare for it, I'll challenge the tribulation.'

Yasenia looked at the dark sky with a calm expression. 'I've really done everything I could, eh? Even surpassing my expectations.' She smiled with a serene facial expression as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

She laughed a bit and muttered. "Well, let's have fun for the next week."

The week passed by quickly. All the girls felt tired and satisfied as Yasenia had done everything in her power to make them feel pleasure. With their increase in cultivation, Yasenia was able to not hold back anything at all without going too far. After all, they were all a realm above herself.

Yasenia walked outside wearing [Celestial Cosmos Dress]. The blue cloth tightly snuggled around her body, showing a revealing cleavage that covered less than half of her breasts. The beautiful long back-skirt flowed with her steps, simulating the waves created in people's hearts when they looked at her.

The short frontal skirt allowed her long and perfectly proportioned legs to be visible as she walked, and her loose, long black hair bobbed with her steps.

Behind her, a gorgeous long tail moved in gentle patterns, adding a fantastical charm. The dark blue scales shone with starlight as if they had been created by molding the night sky into a dragon tail shape. At the same time, the sectioned golden rings broke the monotony, adding a gorgeous and enchanting color combination to the already extraordinary appendage.

The Empyrean beauty and carnal seduction the dragoness emanated were unmatched, to the point that many around the entire world had been placing her name in different beauty lists. From the moment she showed herself at the Summit, everyone in the whole World knew who Yasenia Dravory was.

The people around the sect looked at her with worshipping and adoring eyes as she walked toward the Tribulation Plaza.

The Tribulation Plaza was very popular, as it was considered the best spot to break through. Thanks to all the formations in the area, the chances of successfully fending off the Heavenly Tribulation increased. Many who were not as courageous began challenging the tribulations they'd been putting off, and the surge in strength in the sect was nothing but admirable.

There were even wealthy and prestigious families and other sects who asked the Astral Sky Sect to lend part of the Tribulation Plaza to both their juniors and seniors.

The Astral Sky sect didn't lack capital of any kind, so they refused all offers. This naturally angered many, but before any type of feud could form, the maids chose to eliminate one of the families who had a very dark and powerful background.

It was the usual tactic of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.

Seeing one of the top families being reduced to rubble in the span of three days, the rest that wanted to test the Astral Sky Sect limits became silent. Moreover, now that they had the attention of the world, these actions were clearly listened to and spread all around with various information sources.

If their position in the summit didn't convince some, their decisiveness and ruthlessness sent a clear message to every single power. "Do not offend me."

Other than that, the world was changing relatively quickly. The human sect in the South had recruited many people, raising many eyebrows. Many wanted to send large groups and armies, but the majority denied all types of attacks. The humans had won the World Summit, and if they were to desecrate their traditions, doing so again would be easier in the future until the World Summit stopped having any meaning at all.

Of course, after the ten years of guaranteed peace, the humans would need to be prepared for a harsh battle of survival if things continued moving in their current direction. 

Meanwhile, word quickly spread at the sect that the Sect Master was walking toward the Tribulation Plaza.

"Is Sect Master going to break through?"

"Most likely! Sect Master already showed tremendous strength during the World Summit. She was one of the lowest-level cultivators, yet she managed to avoid losing almost all battles. Her strength is immeasurable."

"Right, right? I heard some experts say that she is the most ridiculous talent this continent has ever seen, even approaching our legendary Hero Distancia."

"Honestly, I would pay all my Astral Sky Points to watch Sect Master's tribulation-"

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the surroundings, and many realized that it was Ghana, the Vice Sect Master.

"Sect Master is currently going to challenge her tribulation. The optical shields will be down during the event at Sect Master's orders. The Tribulation Plaza is at an elevated point, but plenty of projections will be shared across the sect. Moreover, there are individual projection screens called [Tribulation Screen], each costing 100 Astral Sky Points, and will be sold in all miscellaneous shops starting now. Those shops will have a banner showing that they have them. Do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

Everyone's eyes widened as almost everyone went into a buying frenzy to get the [Tribulation Screen].

Yasenia heard the announcement as she walked, her face calm. There were many reasons for this, but the most essential one boiled down to throwing out a question at the entire world. 'My strength increases at abnormal speeds; what are you going to do? Are you still going to oppose me?'
