The gargantuan Celestial Dragon and powerful Abyssal Human rushed at each other. From a distance, one would be able to see a ball of celestial blue energy ascending to the sky while a dark and murky purplish aura descended from the same.
The dragon that could dwarf mountain ranges opened her maw once more, and a beam exploded skyward, covering hundreds of kilometers in diameter and swallowing the black aura with its diameter. It was as if a pillar of pure destructive energy connected the sky and the dragon, creating humbling imagery.
However, as the auras collided, the only survivors, the 15 Sixth Realm people, saw the dragon stop her attack and summon a shield around her with [Celestial Aegis].
A ball of black light burst from the beam, showing that the Abyssal Human was able to defend against the attack. Nevertheless, the price to pay for using such forceful methods was easy to see. The Abyssal Human's body was melting, as if the skin were about to detach from the muscle with the slightest strike.
Then, the black ball collided with the large shield around the dragon. An explosion swallowed hundreds of kilometers around them with ease, the shockwave reaching the 15 spectators and pushing them back a few steps.
"Her strength is comparable to those historic monsters that appear from time to time."
Mo Yun muttered, her eyes unable to look away as the dragon clawed the sky and summoned tens of thousands of stars to counterattack the other side.
The gargantuan dragon and the Abyssal Human then exchanged attacks, moving across the sky as they collided in continuous clashes that could level mountains with just the aftershocks.
The 15 people who had been fighting just gave up their battle and observed. They knew that both sides could restrain each other from leaving. Therefore, whoever won in the fight between leaders would be the ultimate winner.
Yasenia's draconic eyes glowed with celestial light, looking as if they were able to pierce through the cosmos itself and see its truths. In her dragon form, she refrained from using her skills and used pure raw power to transform energy. Stars appeared around her, her claws carried burning flames, and her tail could create a wave of chilling frost.
Each of her movements was cataclysmic as she released energy and manipulated the battle situation through the [Tyrant Warlord Intent Domain].
Meanwhile, the Abyssal Human felt the precariousness of his situation. In each clash, Yasenia's massive body would be pushed back for just a few hundred meters. This, for a creature that measures in the tens of kilometers, was nothing but a slight push. Meanwhile, when he deviated from Yasenia's massive claw, tail, or wing strike, he felt as if his body were about to fall apart.
After a while, he couldn't hold back anymore and decided to go for a last-ditch effort and defeat this powerful Dragon. "You've forced me, Yasenia Dravory! [Innate Skill: Abyss Descent]!"
Yasenia's cold eyes flashed with a touch of seriousness and, strangely, anticipation. This skill was one all Abyssal Humans were born with. It allowed them to connect with the Abyss and summon creatures at the cost of their own strength. It was a last-ditch effort to defeat their opponent and be successful in summoning the Abyss.
The problem was that, once they were killed, the Abyss portal and everything summoned by them would instantly collapse and be struck down by Heaven. So, it was a double-edged sword that placed both sides into an all-or-nothing situation.
However, Yasenia didn't show any flusteredness. The Abyssal Human knew that with all Yasenia's information about his race, she had to be aware of the skill's effects. This was a skill that some Abyssal Humans didn't dare use even until death. After all, they would become vulnerable for a long time, to the point that even mortal cultivators could kill them. 'What is she planning?'
Even if he didn't know, it was impossible to stop the skill. Without any answer to his question, the Abyssal Human's body exploded with energy, blasting the space around him into pieces and breaching a tear in reality.
Yasenia flew a few hundred kilometers beyond him as the breach opened. Interacting with it during the summoning was too dangerous, and she might get entangled in the spatial turbulence. If she were absorbed into the Abyss dimension, she would die regardless of how many life-saving items she had on her.
Chen Jizhen frowned as he looked at them. "What is happening? How did someone at just the third level tear a hole in space?"
Gao Yan mirrored his confusion. "Only those close to the Law Creator Realm are able to do something similar. However, the explosion was not that powerful. Is it using some kind of integrated law to open a spatial tear?"
Mo Yun's confused gaze suddenly transformed into one of fear and disgust as abominations began pouring in the thousands from the spatial tear.
The 10 Sixth Realm Abyss cultivators by their side burst into wild laughter. "The Lord has opened a gate to the [Abyss]! That Dragon is done for! Hahaha!"
The five human cultivators became somewhat worried, but they decided to place their trust in the calm dragon. They could see that her gaze was without ripples as her aura continued to burn with the same power and steadiness it did before.
The Abyssal Human looked around him and grinned. "It seems that my work until now wasn't completely for nothing, Yasenia! Thanks to the remaining energy of the Abyss lingering in this place, I was able to summon over ten times the usual amount of [Abyss Horrors]! I want to see how you deal with over 20,000 [Abyssal Horrors] and 20 [Abyssal Cosmic Horrors]!"
All the 20 thousand Abyssal Horrors were at the peak of the mortal realms, while the 20 Abyssal Cosmic Horrors were all at the first level of the Transcendence Realm. Moreover, they were all boosted by the Abyssal Human's [Abyss Corrupt Domain Level 2].
The Celestial Dragon looked at the mass of abominations in front of her with cold eyes. Her gargantuan body made their numbers look pathetic, as their size didn't exceed 100 meters.
"Abyssal Human." Yasenia's draconic voice echoed around, rippling with power coming from the depths of her soul. "If there is one thing I've never feared, it is group battles."
Feeling that something was wrong, the Abyssal Human showed a trace of unease. Still, he commanded loudly. "Devour her! Don't leave anything behind!"
The thousands of Abyssal Horrors screeched, their voices sounding like someone scratching a piece of metal and gurgling in water at the same time. Even Mo Yun and the others winced at the cacophony of distorted screams.
Yasenia's aura solidified the second the other side charged at her. "[Empyrean Galaxy Domain]."
The world shifted colors when her voice echoed. A phantom night sky covered the sky, and there, a gargantuan spiral galaxy 1,000 kilometers across, manifested. Inside the galaxy, hundreds of thousands of giant white stars glowed, illuminating the dark world with starlight.
Then, the Sun and Moon in Yasenia's wings burst with brilliance and manifested within the night sky. Each of the Celestial Bodies was 20 kilometers across. While they were small compared with the galaxy, they dwarfed the individual stars in both size and strength.
Yasenia's regal voice echoed within her domain.
"You dare to start a war with this Dragon Queen. That's your arrogance."
The [Tyrant Warlord Intent Domain] covered the battlefield, and Yasenia raised her claw. "I, who rule over War, am not someone you can challenge with numbers! [Empyrean Galaxy Domain: Sky Collapse]!"
The thousands of [Abyssal Horrors] felt as if Yasenia's massive soul locked their very existence. Her two dragon eyes, flowing with Celestial Energy, pinned them down through sheer pressure. Then, the galaxy in the sky detached and accelerated toward the ground.
The Abyssal Human's face turned ugly, and he shouted, his voice distorting and losing human qualities. "[Abyssal Cosmic Horrors], protect them!"
"They can't."
With her words, the Sun and Moon transformed into ten beams each, locking onto the 20 Abyssal Cosmic Horrors and raining down like celestial judgment pillars of light.
BOOM!!!
The entire location shook as explosions covered the battlefield. Thousands of Abyssal Horrors were consumed by the stars, their bodies losing most of their forms and cratering down like rain. Those who were luckier and managed to survive were riddled with burns, leaving not one Abyssal Horror unharmed.
Meanwhile, the twenty Abyssal Cosmic Horrors couldn't resist the world-destroying power of the beams and were blasted down collectively while trying to resist. Half of them received severe burns, while the others felt as if their very souls were being frozen to death.
The previous delighted 10 Abyss Cultivators looked at everything and felt as if time had frozen. The giant dragon didn't even move as she annihilated most of the army that appeared with one move.
This was not a normal mortal army. Each of the Abyssal Horrors was enhanced by the surroundings, allowing around 100 of them to keep a normal Level One Transcendence Cultivator busy.
Even the ratio is one cultivator without a domain per 100 Abyssal Horrors, when 20,000 gathered, even a Level Two or Three Transcendence Cultivator would need to be careful. Then, the 20 Abyssal Cosmic Horrors had an even stronger combat power, acting as leaders of groups and organizing the battlefield for absolute advantage.
All of these creatures together would make a Level Four Transcendence Cultivator have a headache.
However, Yasenia's current form, buffed beyond normal bounds by all her new powers, could cause both soul and body damage without effort. Each of her blows was enough to kill tens of these monsters.
Looking at the damaged creatures, Yasenia's lips arched into a disdainful sneer. "You are already like this after one attack? Then die, pathetic creatures. [Celestial Dragon Roar]!"
Her maw opened, and the air exploded together with her dragon cry.
ROAR!!!
The heavily damaged souls of the 20,020 creatures transferred all those wounds to their physical bodies. That moment when Yasenia roared, thousands of the remaining living monsters exploded in gory fireworks. The ones that had weak souls were killed without any resistance, while the rest howled in pain.
"[Celestial Dragon Breath]."
As the monsters screamed in pain, Yasenia's maw opened once more and a beam of pure Celestial Energy impacted the ground where they fell.
BOOM!!!
An energy explosion razed the entire field, annihilating all the creatures that the Abyssal Human had summoned. Yasenia's gaze focused on the Abyssal Human, and the monstrous being felt true fear from the bottom of his distorted heart for the first time.
"W-What are you?"
Yasenia flapped her wings, activating [Pegasus Gallop]. "Your Death."
Her claw streaked across the sky and summoned a giant Celestial phantom, swallowing the weakened Abyssal Human and destroying him.
