Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1182. One Week Before Dragon Temple Opening. Soluna’s Overwhelming Strength.
Chapter 1182 - 1182. One Week Before Dragon Temple Opening. Soluna's Overwhelming Strength.
After waiting for Aoshuang to return, all five of them left the cave system and traveled toward the deepest parts of the Secret Realm. Their aim was the Dragon Temple.
"So, Sister Tianyi, what's the plan once we arrive there? I am sure that we won't be the only ones that are trying to open the secrets, right?"
Tianyi nodded. "You are right. The Dragon Temple opens around six years after the Secret Realm opens. Once it does, everyone can enter some parts of it. However, the deepest sections are blocked behind formations that prevent non-dragons from advancing. Everyone knows about this. Therefore, it is normal for families to hire Dragons to try to enter those areas in return for benefits.
Yasenia understood. She asked, curious. "What did the other seniors do in the past?"
Tianyi smiled awkwardly. "They tried to ally with other powers. However, no one has had enough luck or influence to enter this place." Her face then clouded with worry. "To be honest. This time, the quality of the dragons hired by those families is exceptional. When they noticed how difficult it was to open the deepest parts, the powers naturally linked it with the Dragon Temple hiding a very valuable treasure. For this year, Dragons from the higher heavens have descended to try their luck."
"Oh?"
Yasenia's eyebrow rose with interest. "Dragons from the middle heaven? I wonder if they are better than I. After all, my current bloodline level is limited by my cultivation at the Peak-Level Ancient Rank."
Aoshuang asked, his voice marred with surprise. "Peak-level Ancient? Limited?"
Yasenia smiled faintly. "If I weren't someone like this, would your old ancestor try as hard as he has to please me?"
The four dragons became thoughtful. Tianyi chuckled and approached, her eyes glittering with admiration. "I really can't wait to feel your aura when you reach the Sixth Realm."
Yangchen sighed. "If she reaches it. With Little Yasenia's talent, I can already imagine how difficult it will be for her to break through."
Tianyi's smiling face faltered, but she still kept it and patted Yasenia's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't listen to him. I am sure that you'll be able to fight it off."
Yasenia smiled softly and nodded. "Thank you, sister Tianyi."
Their journey didn't last too long. A week before the Dragon Temple opened, Yasenia's group arrived near it. Once they did, several Spiritual Senses swept their nearby area.
The four Sixth Realm dragons were calm and expanded their own senses to scout the surroundings. Tianyi spoke lowly. "There are around 43 people other than us. All of them are Sixth Realm cultivators. Be careful when moving."
Before they answered her, an arrogant man with slit eyes appeared in front of them, floating with his arms crossed. "Ho? Is this the famous Long family? Quite mediocre if you ask me."
Tianyi's face dropped as she glanced at him with a squint. "I don't know whose pet dragon you are. However, someone who's been bought like a store animal does not have any right to speak ill of us."
Yasenia blinked. 'Wow. That was brutal.'
Not surprisingly, that man's face turned slightly redder as his momentum exploded outward with terrifying strength. "A second-rate Dragon dares oppose me!? I am a noble, low-level Ancient Rank Bloodline dragon! A mythical [Dark Claw Dragon]! You all should bow your heads and call me King!"
Tianyi and the other three rolled their eyes. 'If I call you king, should I call Yasenia goddess?'
Of course, they didn't answer with that. Instead, Xueli spoke in a calm and adorable tone. "Bark, bark, bark. You come here, insult us, and when we retaliate, you get angry? It seems that you are lacking in all the other departments besides a slightly stronger bloodline."
Yasenia became annoyed. Her instincts had been quite sensitive lately, and when this person showed off in front of her, it ticked her off greatly. Glancing at him, her aura started rising. However, before she burst outward, Tianyi grabbed her hand. Yasenia paused and glanced sideways.
Tianyi smiled gently and spoke, her tone tender and caring. "No need to get angry with such trash. Take it easy, Yasenia."
The Black Claw Dragon glanced at Yasenia, and his eyes widened slightly. Yasenia glanced at Tianyi and humphed. "Since Big Sister Tianyi says it, I will listen."
The Black Claw Dragon landed in front of Yasenia at that moment and spoke haughtily. "Hey. I want you to carry my child. Your aura is not half-bad for being a beast human. Although you are a weak mortal, I guess I can wait a bit for you to become a Sixth Realm cultivator." freewebnσvel.cøm
An adorable voice reached everyone before Tianyi or any of the Long Dragons answered. "Hey, trash. How dare you even suggest something so insulting?"
Soluna appeared in front of Yasenia, her face covered with a chilling expression. Seeing the spirit appearing out of nowhere, they glanced at Yasenia with a slightly more serious expression.
'No wonder a mortal dares to walk around here. She has a Sixth Realm contracted spirit.'
The Black Claw Dragon didn't take Soluna seriously. "Your master has yet to decline me. Who are you to speak against me? Dogs should stay silent when the masters are speaking."
Yasenia smiled angrily. "The arrogance of some dragons is tolerable, but your face is so punchable that I can't hold back. Tell me, which group has hired you? I want to inform them that they'll lose their contracted dragon."
A woman with a long white dress and profound, chilling eyes appeared behind the Black Claw Dragon. "If you really think that you can face our Fua family, go ahead. We have 5 Transcendence Realm cultivators with us besides him, so you are at a numerical disadvantage."
Soluna stepped forward, her lips arching in a mocking smile. "Numerical advantage? If you really think you can face me because you have a little hill of trash piled up, I want you to try it!"
Tianyi prepared to fight. However, Yasenia's tail moved in front of them. "Let Soluna play. She has been itching to try her new powers, and this is a great chance. How powerful is the Fua family?"
Tianyi hesitated as she saw the other cultivators from the Fua family gather around the Dragon and Woman. "The Fua family is at the same level as our Long family. Of course, that's their position, but their strength is slightly weaker since we are Dragons and they are not."
Yasenia nodded. "Then, there shouldn't be a problem. During the last six years, I am sure that my maids have already broken through the Sixth Realm. Their strengths must be incredibly high."
Yasenia's maids have been at the peak of the fifth realm for more than 60 years already. They would've broken through many decades ago if it weren't for the fact that they wanted to practice the Soul and Body cultivation paths.
Meanwhile, the Black Claw Dragon extended his hand and clawed the air in front of him. "Explode in particles, little spirit. [Black Claw]."
The air rippled, and the light was sucked into five large fissures. Darkness energy poured out like a supernova and swallowed everything in front of him. He sneered. "Just like this... hm?"
A small light bloomed in the middle of the sea of darkness, and soon, radiance comparable to the Sun itself burst with a majestic strength. Soluna floated up slowly, completely unharmed. "If you really want to harm me, you should try a little harder."
The Nascent Celestial Spirit looked down upon all living beings, and her aura made everyone want to take a step back out of pure instinct. It was as if an ultimate hegemon had descended.
Yasenia looked with curiosity. 'What did she do? I felt the Darkness energy swallow her. However, instead of damaging her, she absorbed it somehow and turned Yin and Yang around. The small Sun was actually created entirely with the Dragon's attack...'
Soluna pointed at him, and the small Sun shot forward fast enough to become a deformed projectile. Naturally, the Dragon didn't back down and punched forward.
BOOM!
Since it was not really a powerful attack, the dragon managed to explode the small Sun with his physical attack. "Not bad." He laughed derisively. "But that's not enough."
Soluna nodded. "Indeed. Your own attack is too weak to even deal with yourself. [One With The Cosmos]."
"Huh?"
Everything within several hundred kilometers around Soluna instantly transformed into the cosmos. Soluna's aura also skyrocketed, suppressing everything and everyone around her.
The spectators who had been looking on calmly became incomparably solemn for the first time. The level of threat Soluna gave them made their souls shudder.
The woman from the Fua family also noticed, and she took a step forward. "Lady Spirit. I don't think the offense between both sides is grave enough to resort to this type of battle. If we do so, we are benefiting other teams by weakening ourselves. Please reconsider."
Soluna paused and glanced at Yasenia. While she was eager to use her skills, Yasenia's security was her top priority. Yasenia smiled faintly and spoke. "Let your dragon receive one of Soluna's attacks. After that, we'll be even."
The woman from the Fua family wanted to deny it. However, the handsome middle-aged man snorted and flashed skyward. "Attack then. If you think that I am afraid because you can control a Quasi-Intent-Domain, you are sadly mistaken! [Endless Black Claw Domain]!"
Phantom images of claws appeared around him, slashing at Soluna's domain. However, unlike what he expected, the claws only managed to do little damage before they burst into particles.
The Black Claw Dragon frowned. "You... How is your Quasi-Intent-Domain neutralizing my skill?"
Soluna sneered. "Who told you it was a Quasi-Intent-Domain?"
Then, the spirit raised her hand slowly and mouthed the skill's name. "[Star Destroying Lunar Flame]."
WHOOSH!
A profound, dark blue flame that glittered with cosmic lights surrounded her hand and then concentrated into a single point. Once Soluna forced it to compress, the space around it seemed to be slightly bent as the terrifying heat and pressure twisted everything. Then, she threw it lightly by flicking her wrist. "Go."
Everyone expected a powerful flame. However, what they saw left them feeling suffocated. The second Soluna flicked her wrist, the world was swallowed by Soluna's flame. Everything in front of Soluna burned with the cosmic flame, including air and space itself.
"ROAR!"
The dragon's pain-filled roar echoed around, making everyone's heart tremble. It told many stories that Soluna's flame could make a Sixth Realm creature scream in pain like that.
After the flames dissipated, every phenomenon disappeared and revealed the heavily hurt Black Claw Dragon. His skin was peeled off, revealing bone in many places. Then, the robes he had were half-consumed by the flames. Of course, the injuries were far from being lethal. However, those attentive noticed damage to his soul as well.
After attacking once, Soluna sneered and spoke. "That makes us even. Don't approach my Master ever again, or I'll consume you entirely with my flames."
Turning around, Soluna ran and glomped herself in Yasenia's arms, rubbing her face against her body. "Hehe~, did I do good, Yasenia?"
Yasenia smiled softly. "Yes, love. You did well."
