Yasenia and the other five floated side by side in front of the Abyss Fog Wall. The dragoness's face was indifferent and cold, her body exuding the majesty of her bloodline and strength. Even when she was the person with the lowest realm in the group, her natural coercion was by far the strongest.
"Now, let's see what is waiting for us inside." Her energy surged, and her body flooded with Celestial Energy. That energy seeped deeply into every single inch of her body as her breath reached its peak. At that moment, Yasenia summoned Draheart and grasped the handle tightly.
When her energy poured into Draheart, the sword whistled and roused the energy in its surroundings. The reaction was caught by the other Transcendence Realm cultivators by her side, leading them to realize that Draheart was a treasure with a spirit.
A trace of jealousy flashed in their hearts, since that kind of treasure was extremely precious. Nevertheless, they quickly returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Yasenia raised Draheart with both her arms and then slashed down using her Body Path Technique. "[Firmament Shaking Arc]."
Her bodily strength exploded like a volcano as she cleaved the air and shot a vertical crescent against the Abyss Fog Wall.
BOOM!
A gargantuan explosion followed the shockwave of the explosion, pushing them back for a few steps. Mo Yun giggled. "Yasenia's attack power seems to be as unreasonable as ever. Moreover, I strangely could only feel a few traces of Spiritual Energy in this attack. Did you do it with your bare body?"
Yasenia spoke with a faint smile. "The perks of being a Dragon. Sorry, Mo Yun, this is something that comes in a package with my birth qualities." Then, she rushed forward.
Mo Yun harrumphed once before following behind with the rest. "Boasting about your race in front of a human? Wait until my bloodline reaches the Immortal Realm! I'll show you then!"
Humans were considered one of the strongest races under Heaven, so her words were not too preposterous. If Humans weren't strong, they wouldn't be as numerous as they are or dominate so many areas.
A distance of 50,000 kilometers until the Abyssal Worshiper Sect was neither too much nor too little for someone at their level. If they were serious, reaching there in just a few seconds was a piece of cake. Of course, it all depended on their aim.
This time, Yasenia was advancing at a steady pace of 1,000 kilometers per second. Her speed could even be considered slow. Chen Jizhen asked, confused. "Why are we taking it slow? We are giving the opponent a chance to react to our attacks."
"They already know that we are here after destroying the Fog Wall." Yasenia looked at the dark expanse of terrain in front of her and squinted her eyes. "Even before we did so, they were aware of our presence."
Gao Yan frowned. "How is that possible? Didn't we show our retreating figures? They should think that we are gone, right?"
"I've said it a few times already, Senior Brother Gao Yan," Yasenia spoke with a serious tone. "The enemy also has someone with deep intelligence."
"You mean… Him?" Gao Yan's tone was somewhat careful. Of all the enemies they've fought, only one of them gave Gao Yan a creepy feeling. Strangely, that creepy feeling came from the most "normal"-looking one of them.
"Yes." Yasenia squinted her eyes after affirming his words. "Stop."
Everyone stopped mid-air. They were around 5,000 kilometers away from the sect. With their powerful vision, they were able to see it as if they were standing in front of it.
The Abyssal Worshiper sect surprisingly didn't look much different compared to other ones. If anything was out of place or strange, it would be the occasional structure built out of some pulsing fleshy material. However, these structures were so sparse and few that they could be taken as bizarre monuments spread in an otherwise normal sect.
Yasenia looked at those pillars with squinting eyes and spoke in a solemn tone. "We need to destroy those things. They are collecting the excess Abyss Energy created from the disciples and are guiding it toward some other place in the sect. I guess that they are the structures feeding whatever is going to open the Abyss portal."
"Clever."
A man's voice reached them, putting them all on alert. Then, in front of them, around 2,000 kilometers away, the remaining 11 Abyss Sixth Realm cultivators appeared.
Most of them had monstrous humanoid figures, while the person right in the middle looked like a middle-aged man with a strangely long arm. This time, the man had appeared in front of them without a robe to cover himself.
The man's body was pale grey, while his eyes were probably the most monstrous part, consisting of a pulsing purple iris and wriggling black sclera.
When Yasenia saw his figure, her face changed from indifferent to solemn. Mo Yun noticed the tensing up of Yasenia and was startled. 'Yasenia flinched? But… He doesn't look that scary.'
"Yasenia, is there something wrong with that person?"
The dragoness spoke with a tone much more serious than what they'd heard in the past. "That's… an [Abyssal Human]." Then, Yasenia spoke to herself. "How did an Abyssal Human make it out of the Abyss before the portal to the dimension even opened?"
Meanwhile, the other party also showed a look of shock for a moment before he frowned deeply. "How do you know that information, Yasenia Dravory? Where have you heard about Abyssal Humans?"
While he looked imposing on the outside as he asked, inside, he was alarmed. There was only one clan throughout the entirety of Heaven that called his race Abyssal Human, and those were [Abyss Hunters]. 'Is she an [Abyss Hunter]? No, impossible. The aura around her is completely different from that of those people. However, seeing that she has recently reached the Sixth Realm… Is she an initiate of that group?'
His mind started spinning as both groups became even more on guard against each other.
Yasenia spoke to the others. "I want to ask you five to restrain the ten people on the other side."
"Yasenia…"
Chen Jizhen wanted to interrupt, but Yasenia raised her voice and used her aura to pressure him. "Chen Jizhen, this time around, I am not playing around. I want you to quickly cooperate with me. I MUST deal with that Abyssal Human before the Abyss breaks open, or this continent might be doomed!"
Mo Zifei asked with a whisper. "What is an Abyssal Human?"
Yasenia didn't have time to explain, so she spoke briefly. "One of the few intelligent species inside the [Abyss]. Only one in a hundred million is an Abyssal Human on that side. They are considered Leader Type Abyss Monsters."
The man's face was currently twisting with killing intent as black lines spread along his body through the places where his veins should be. His aura increased exponentially as well, making even the air around them feel hard to breathe.
Seeing that terrifying change and his aura, Chen Jizhen knew that they didn't have time to discuss. "Go!"
That word gave Yasenia the reassurance she needed. Then, for the first time, she used 100% of her strength and activated all of her buffs.
"[Celestial Tyrant Soul Unshackled]."
When Yasenia used this skill, her Soul Energy roared like a waking dragon and exploded from her body with pressure that couldn't be explained other than "suffocating". This skill increased her Soul Power severalfold, and it also gave all her attacks the ability to injure the enemy's soul regardless of their nature. Even a simple punch would hurt the enemy's soul in this state.
"[Immortal Breaker Body]."
This time, her Body Energy surged from every cell of her body. Every cell seemed to be a nuclear reactor as her physical strength increased exponentially to the point that a single punch was able to shatter planets.
She was far from done, though.
"[Celestial Dragon Body]."
Spiritual Energy surged around her this time around as the skill stimulated her Celestial Attribute. This time, her body grew some dragon scales as her Dragon Wings fully spread out and her tail quickly lashed once behind her. The shockwave from the tail lash leveled a forest down below, showing the ridiculous strength each and every movement carried.
Finally, Yasenia bathed her body with her Dragon Strength.
"[Empyrean Cosmos Dragon Sovereignty]."
Everyone was looking at Yasenia with terrified faces as her aura became so tyrannical that even those she wasn't targeting felt the need to step away from Yasenia.
The [Abyssal Human] looked at Yasenia with an extremely solemn expression. Never in his dreams did he think that this creature could explode with such overpowering strength.
"What are you!?"
The man shouted, his voice distorted due to his Abyss Energy running rampant inside his body.
Yasenia waved her hand once, and a constellation appeared around her, forming the figure of a gentle beauty. "I am your executioner. [Heavenly Constellation Steps, Fourth Sky: Lyra's Harmony]."
The constellation became lifelike, and with it, a woman appeared behind Yasenia. She was made out of starlight, and her facial features were indistinct. Even then, one could easily distinguish at first glance her gorgeous and gentle beauty.
Then, this woman took out a harp-looking instrument and moved her fingers, making starlight fall below her. At that moment, Dramel appeared, and her chords began playing on their own, spreading the gorgeous melody throughout the battlefield.
Under the Pipa's sound, the Abyss Sixth Realm cultivators felt a strange weakening feeling, while Yasenia's allies were strengthened.
Mo Yun looked at the dragon floating in front of her as if she were getting to know her for the first time. The mix of tyrannical strength and empyrean beauty combined so perfectly that it could enchant souls away.
"[Monarch Intent Domain], [Pegasus Gallop]."
"[Abyss Corrupt Domain], [Abyss Shrink Step]."
Auras spread out from both of them, colliding and creating sparks at the edges as they tried to overpower each other. With that collision, the air was blown apart, creating a void that sucked both of them in.
Neither of them fought against this pulling force as they shot to the sky at a terrifying speed, their bodies turning into two streaks of different colored lights. Once they reached a middle point in the sky, Yasenia swung Draheart without any restraint.
"[Celestial Sunder]!"
Her energy swept the area with terrifying pressure. The power behind this sword strike could probably slice through several planets without problem.
"[Twisting Abyss Sword]!"
Tentacles spread from his extremely long arm, creating a sword so sharp that it hurt the eyes looking at its edge. The energy around it was twisted beyond words, making those looking feel sick to their stomachs.
Then, both attacks collided, creating a gargantuan explosion that swallowed the sky and pushed out the clouds.
