Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1206. [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier].

Tai Yang frowned at Yasenia’s change of expression. He asked as four [World Destroying Heavenly Lightning Bolts] gathered in the clouds for the next round. “... You. Weren’t you affected by Heart Demons? How did you recover so fast?”

Yasenia glanced at them, her eyes filled with unsettling calmness. “Aren’t you so wise and mighty? Haven’t I been walking on your oh-so-vast palm without knowing? How about guessing why instead of asking the being that’s very clearly entangled in your web?”

Her tone didn’t have mocking tones. Instead, it was so casual that it made it even more offensive than if she were actively making fun of them. Change’er looked at Yasenia and chuckled. “Yasenia, it doesn’t matter what your schemes are. You are bound to fail. Unless you’ve decided that you want to be ruthless and lose the little life inside you, you can’t overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.”

Yasenia glanced at the sky and didn’t answer her words. Instead, she began speaking. “Why is it that you need to shed your mortal shell?” Yasenia asked no one in particular. “Why is it that the Heavenly Tribulation to reach Transcendence needs to transform your body with the energy of the Heavens?”

Yasenia explained what she had learned about the Tribulation from books and the seniors in her group. “The reason for a creature to give up their body is because they are following the Heavenly path. They are trying to become an existence that can be closer to the Heaven. Therefore, the main difference between a mortal and immortal cultivator is not the amount of energy they control, but how that energy is manipulated through them.”

The four [World Destroying Heavenly Lightning Bolts] in the clouds roared and descended once more. A second Yasenia appeared by her side via her [Tyrant Soul Shadow] skill. That Yasenia held Yasenia’s [Celestial Tyrant Soul Sword] while being enhanced by [Celestial Tyrant Soul Body] and [Tyrant Astral Vein Forging].

The second Yasenia shot to the sky, and she clashed with the four powerful lightning bolts that could split continents and bring utter devastation. Yasenia saw the shadow struggling somewhat, but after a barrage of attacks, it ended up winning with many burns around its soul body.

“To become an immortal, one’s body needs to be similar to a spirit. Hence, it needs to be destroyed and remolded using Heavenly energies.” Yasenia squinted. “However… Doesn’t that make you, in a way, a slave to the Heavens?”

Both gods looked at Yasenia with a squint. The Moon Goddess smiled mockingly. “The reason why it is called the Heaven is because it is the entity that belongs above all of us. It is everything, from a flower to the biggest star. Heaven’s energy is something that coats the existence of all creatures.”

Yasenia looked at the Moon Goddess and smiled for the first time. “That’s not true for me.”

Both gods looked at Yasenia, confused, while Yasenia commented. “Remember how I was reborn once already? What happened back then, Moon Goddess, Sun God? How was I able to be reborn?”

Both of them frowned, and Yasenia chuckled. “At that time, I received one [World Destroying Heavenly Lightning Bolt]. That bolt destroyed my body without a trace, and even my soul was heavily injured. However, I didn’t die… Instead, I used the [Primordial Energy Core] and strand of [Celestial Energy] as a source for my rebirth as the first, and for now, only [Empyrean Cosmos Dragon].” Yasenia added, her eyes flashing with a smile. “From then on, all energy I’ve absorbed in my body has been purified through the [Primordial Energy Core] and transformed into energy unaffected by the Heaven, but able to interact with it…”

Both gods looked at Yasenia coldly, while the dragoness chuckled. “So to speak… I already had my Transcendence Realm tribulation back then. Moreover, instead of becoming part of Heaven, I was able to completely tear my connection with it. I am, in a way, a foreign entity that’s not connected to Heaven but can use its strength to my will.” Yasenia extended her hand, summoning a black sphere that was able to absorb the light around it. “[Primordial Energy Core]... Such a magical treasure, isn’t it?”

RUMBLE!

Looking at the sky, both gods smiled. Yasenia’s calm face also turned slightly serious. In the sky, the [World Destroying Heavenly Lightning Bolts] were not preparing to descend, but entangling with each other.

Outside the area, Tatyana, Mirrory, and Valerai were stunned. Tatyana tried to reach out, but her spiritual sense was blocked. Moreover, since Yasenia was in another dimension, her voice would also fail to reach her. Communication was currently impossible. Cecile asked, confused. “What’s that? There was nothing like that in our Heavenly Tribulation.”

Tatyana spoke solemnly. “That’s a [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier]. It is a tier above the [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Elemental Knight]. Those beings only appear in Punishment Tribulations for Transcendence Realm people!”

Mirrory commented. “Heaven attacks with humanoids in these tiers: [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Soldier], [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Knight], [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Elemental Soldier], [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Elemental Knight], and then [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier].”

Valeria spoke worriedly. “The ones you girls fought were [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Elemental Soldiers], while the ones Angel fought were [Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Elemental Knights].”

Angel’s face paled slightly. While fighting with those knights, she almost lost her life a few times. If the tribulation weren’t about reconstructing the body, she would have been heavily crippled.

Meanwhile, Yasenia turned serious as a single being materialized between the clouds. This creature was not tall, around 180 centimeters tall. Its body was genderless, and it held a single longsword vertically with both hands. Its body was covered in black armor with multicolored energy veins moving around it. The sword was purely white, crackling with terrifying iridescent lightning.

The terrifying aura around it overshadowed the strength of the [World Destroying Heavenly Lightning], making everyone feel suffocated. Tai Yang laughed once. “Yasenia… Even I have never expected this. How did you manage to summon this thing? Not even I, during my Sixth Realm Tribulation, would’ve been able to overcome this being.”

Change’er looked at Yasenia closely, confused as to what could’ve caused such a being to appear. Her thoughts spun for a bit, until her eyes flashed with momentary disbelief. Still, she quickly shook her head when that crossed her mind. ‘That should be impossible.’ Still, seeing the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier], her heart couldn’t help but thump with trepidation. “Yasenia, what level of perfection did you achieve during the refinement of your [Energy Core]?”

Yasenia glanced at them with a mocking smile. “Don’t you know it? Your plan is so thorough, you should’ve taken such an important detail into account, right?”

At that moment, the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] moved its sword horizontally, placing it to its side as it prepared to attack. However, what terrified everyone spectating was that the simple movement to change positions created so much pressure that the land in the direction of the sword movement was cleaved beyond the horizon.

Yasenia’s face froze for a second. ‘What is that strength?’

The [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] locked onto Yasenia, and the dragoness felt as if the entire world had become extremely small. She quickly deployed all her skills to buff her own strength while she sent her clone to gain some time.

The clone shot toward the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier], but as it moved, the black-armored soldier swung its sword once.

RRUUMBBLEE!!!!

The Soul Clone used one of Yasenia’s strongest attacks and defensive skills. Her sword shone and released a fully charged [Star Core Shattering Strike]. Simultaneously, the clone created the Orion constellation with extra stars, activating [Heavenly Constellation Steps, Third Sky: Orion Shield].

However, everything was futile. The attack, the shield, and Yasenia’s clone was bisected, the invisible attack distorting the space around it as it rushed down toward Yasenia while warping reality around it. Yasenia quickly stored the [Blood Pond] since she felt that she would need it later, and dodged by using her highest speed.

Then, the attack collided against the Secret Realm.

BOOOM!

Space ruptured, the world shook, and reality wobbled. Black voids appeared everywhere, while everyone inside the Secret Realm was forcefully ejected.

The spectators retreated in fear, and soon, the Secret Realm collapsed.

Yasenia, back in the [Heaven Converging City], looked at the aftermath with eyes full of incredulity. “It destroyed the secret realm with one sword swing?”

Tai Yang spoke, looking at Yasenia with pity. “While we’ve used most of what we could to strengthen the Heavenly Tribulation, I didn’t expect the result to be one [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier]. Yasenia, your luck has run out. Forget about your child; your survival is impossible. That soldier has equal strength to a Transcendence Realm cultivator with a peak quality [Intent Domain].” He sighed. “In short, it has your strength after breaking through and gaining an [Intent Domain].”

Yasenia’s face turned dark as she glared at him. “What good will it do to you both if I die!? Are you crazy!?”

Tai Yang spoke with a smile. “What good will it do if you live? We’ve spent most of our strength with you. Honestly, the chance of encountering new inheritors is close to none within the next billion years. However, our chance of making you do as we want is just as low. So, if you die, it will be a loss, a very big one. However, it’s not detrimental.”

Yasenia spat. “You both are insane!” Her body was filled with chills as she quickly erected three defensive skills. [Draconic Full Moon], [Celestial Cosmos Nebula], and [Orion Shield] were erected instantly. Surrounding her in a three-layered defense. The next instant, the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] arrived at the edge of her defenses and slashed at her.

BOOM!!!!

Yasenia’s entire world shook as her body streaked to the sky, leaving the atmosphere and flying through the cosmos at a ridiculous speed. ‘It threw me off the planet!?’

“Heavens! How is this fair!? Where is your fairness!?”

Yasenia was not so delusional that she thought that she could defeat an unshackled Heaven. The only reason she could even fight it was because Heaven was bound to make the Heavenly Tribulation at least possible to beat. Yet, seeing the black-armored monster rushing at her through the cosmos, she didn’t see a single way of beating it.

Yasenia quickly thought of her many skills, and after her auras exploded around her, the dragoness swung her sword in its direction.

“[SHATTERING THE HEAVENS]!”

Everyone could see the dark sky suddenly light up as Yasenia’s attack manifested in the depths of space.

The visor of the [World Destroying Tribulation Soldier] shone with multicolored lights, and its sword crackled with iridescent lightning once more. Then, it struck.

BOOOM!!!!
