Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1515. Aftermath and [Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core].

The second Yasenia soared up and collided with the Punishment Tribulation, Tatyana knew that it was done, so she tore open the void before her and arrived in front of Yasenia.

Her Spiritual Sense swept Yasenia's figure, and her heart tightened. How could it have been an easy feat to accomplish what Yasenia just did? Her figure, which was previously concealed by the flashing lights of their collision, now fell in Tatyana’s eyes.

She was basically carbonized on the outside, her body smoking while most of her scales and even wings had become pitch black. Tatyana’s heart leaped to her throat as she quickly shouted. “Ao Xianlan, summon dragons with Life Law or something similar right now!”

Ao Xianlan reacted quickly, and she quickly flashed across the sky to take a dragon who had attained a healing-related Law.

Meanwhile, Yasenia’s body fell from the sky. Lady First arrived, her mind much calmer than Tatyana’s. ‘Her injuries are heavy. However, her soul is stable, and her inner organs have only been slightly damaged.’

As she pondered, Lady First looked at Tatyana and spoke, trying to make her voice as soothing as possible. She knew, after all, that Tatyana was currently on edge. “Tatyana, we can let her recover herself. I’ve checked thoroughly, and her vitality is doing perfectly fine. You know that allowing her to recover naturally will also benefit her the most.”

Hearing this, Tatyana looked over for a few seconds, the black ink in her red eyes expanding and receding constantly.

Ao Xianlan arrived at this moment, but before the Dragon she brought over could use a healing technique, Tatyana spoke coldly. “Stop. Don’t heal her.”

Lady First nodded silently, while Ao Xianlan was confused for a moment. She was also extremely panicked. After all, she had come to treat Yasenia as her own. The only situation in which Ao Xianlan would be against Yasenia is if the dragon girl tried to attack their Dragon Clan. In everything else, Ao Xianlan admitted that she had become extremely biased toward her.

“Are you sure?”

Tatyana spoke, her voice and face indifferent. “Check her body. I also can’t smell the scent of death on her, just burnt flesh.”

The white and green colored dragon also did a check, and she nodded. “Ancestor Ao, Lady Death Empress’s words are accurate. While she is heavily injured and will need around five years to recover, she is completely out of danger.” This dragon sighed, her eyes emotional. “It’s quite impressive, to be honest. Even in that situation, this junior had the mind to protect her most vital organs and meridian paths, allowing her to survive even when most of her body had basically died.”

Ao Xianlan didn’t say anything and directly took her in her arms. In her full length, Ao Xianlan was over 1,000 kilometers long. Therefore, carrying Yasenia was extremely easy for her.

Tatyana stood there, seeing Ao Xianlan carry Yasenia away, and then looked down at the Genesis Thunder Rift. Her gaze naturally pierced through the entire distance with ease, reaching where Big Sister Ji was. “Why did this happen?”

Big Sister Ji, hearing the cold and threatening voice, shook her head calmly. “I am unaware. You will need to ask that little girl. Also, tell her that she doesn’t need to worry, the remnant of this Punishment Tribulation is more than enough to compensate for what she took.”

“Compensate?” Tatyana’s voice lowered a notch, becoming threatening. “You dare to ask for compensation after almost killing the one this Empress loves? I will tell you one thing. If you don’t compensate us, I’ll harvest souls of dragons until my anger is pacified.”

Big Sister Ji frowned deeply, but she couldn’t do much. After all, if she were to leave her current location, she would be targeted by Heaven. Her strength was, after all, suppressed at the peak of the Heavenly Layer. In truth, her strength was much stronger than a Level 6 Star Core Beast.

After mulling for a few moments and seeing Tatyana’s expression turning colder by the second, the Ancestor finally relented. “Alright, alright. Here, take this. Even if you are a human, you can enter the treasury to retrieve the item written there.”

Tatyana saw a golden dragon scale larger than a 20-story-tall house appearing in front of her, and she picked it up before leaving.

Down below, Big Sister Ji shook her dragon head. “Well, I now have enough energy to create a hundred Thunderheart Genesis Pearls, not to mention the one Yasenia just took. I can’t complain.”

Tatyana reached the Dragon Treasury, and even when those guarding told her to stop, she ignored them and walked inside. The formations, noticing the scale in Tatyana’s storage treasure, didn’t impede her entry and even guided her toward the place of the treasure.

Once she arrived, Tatyana saw the giant scale appearing and embedding itself onto the wall of the treasury. The wall then opened inwards, revealing a Beast Core.

Looking at it, Tatyana squinted for a second before touching it. “A Beast Core from an Immortal Bloodline dragon that reached the Star Core Realm.” Pondering for a bit, Tatyana nodded. While it was not that valuable for her, value was always relative. For Yasenia, this was a divine treasure that would help stimulate her own bloodline and help her get in touch with Seventh Realm energies sooner.

So, Tatyana picked it and quickly returned to Ao Xianlan’s cave.

“Death Empress, what did you take from the treasury!?”

Tatyana didn’t even bother with the ancestors and answered coldly. “Compensation. If you are dissatisfied, speak with that dragon at the bottom of the Genesis Thunder Rift.”

Seeing Tatyana’s figure turn into a streak of black light and enter Ao Xianlan’s cave, the ancestors felt stifled. They couldn’t deal with this pair of mother and daughter in any way, shape, or form!

They, who had stayed at the peak of the world for so long, felt honestly suffocated. Of course, they had absolutely no intentions of retaliating or anything of the sort. Still, they wanted to be given some face!

Leaving behind the Ancestors, Tatyana arrived at the place Yasenia had settled. Once she arrived, she saw Luan Feixue crying by Yasenia’s side, clearly feeling extreme heartache, looking at the charred dragon.

Even the four maids, who were a few thousand years old, were frowning deeply.

“Ao Xianlan, help Yasenia absorb this core.”

Ao Xianlan turned to look, and when she saw the Beast Core, she was surprised and scared. “You, where did you get this? You have not killed a dragon, right? I’m telling you, Tatyana, I can protect you to a certain degree, but…”

“Stop with the nonsense and use it,” Tatyana spoke indifferently. “Would I do something like that at this very sensitive moment?”

Ao Xianlan relaxed, thinking calmly. ‘Right, she wouldn’t. This must be something she got with proper means.’

Meanwhile, Yasenia’s consciousness was floating, her mind clearly dazed. During the charge upward, it wasn’t just her who got injured.

All her treasures had shared the pressure and terrifying energy of the Punishment Tribulation, sending basically every single treasure into a temporary dormant state.

Of course, in calamity, one can find opportunities. This time, Yasenia and her treasures had benefited tremendously and were currently undergoing changes and improvements.

So, time slowly passed, and Yasenia’s mind slowly stirred awake.

The first thing she felt was pain. Terrifying pain around her entire body as if thousands of burning needles had been lodged under her skin.

‘Hurts… Heavens, it hurts so much…’

She couldn’t open her eyes, and her energy was too turbulent to spread her Spiritual Sense outward more than a few meters. She was basically blind right now.

Even then, she looked at her body, and when she scanned herself, she sighed in relief. ‘The child is okay. Good. I managed to protect it until the very end.’

With that confirmed, most of her anxiousness settled down. This time, she was truly scared because the reaction had gone far beyond her control.

‘Even the Primordial Temple, which had remained as still as a mountain, reacted. What kind of thing was created this time around?’

As her memories returned slowly, she recalled everything. ‘Right, the treasure couldn’t be completed. Why did it suddenly condense and materialize at the very end?’

While her mind was hurting terribly due to the soul damage, Yasenia’s soul was ridiculously sturdy. Therefore, she quickly sorted out everything that happened.

‘So, while I was charging up, the treasure didn’t complete. At least not in the true sense. It forcefully manifested to absorb most of the Heavenly Lightning and forge itself into existence. At that moment before I collided, I recall receiving the urgent call of the treasure, asking me to manifest it.’

Yasenia hummed, recalling the name she had shouted instinctively. ‘[Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core]... Sounds really powerful. This thing has become my new Soul Core now, replacing the [Celestial Pearl], has it?’

After an unknown amount of time, Yasenia was finally able to look into her Dantian, and once there, she almost gasped in surprise. ‘Heavens, what happened here?’

The planets that represented Soluna, Draheart, Dramel, Sui Xing, and the Ancient Flag were all enveloped in multicolored lightning, being attacked constantly. Sui Xing and Draheart could easily resist, as their true treasure rank was extremely high. But the other three were suffering quite a bit. Even the Ancient Battle Flag was struggling to fight back.

‘The rest of the treasures are doing okay, but most of them have a few strands of lightning around them.’

When she looked at the [Primordial Starheart], she realized that this treasure was helping all the other treasures “digest” their gains. It would sweep with its molting energies, shedding some parts of the surface, and then help them integrate the energy of the lingering tribulation lightning.

All those shed layers would calmly float in orbit, eventually being sucked by the ravenous Celestial Black Hole Energy Star in the middle. This treasure, having used quite a bit of itself to complete the new companion, was now hungry. The starlit black accretion disk around the blue star was constantly grinding down everything that approached, sucking it in with the gravitational pull of the Black Hole at the center of the star.

“As for the new treasure… It looks quite lively?”

The new cosmic sphere, which looked like a miniature cosmos surrounded by grey dust, had gained another visual characteristic. Inside the previous cosmos filled with galaxies, now there was flickering multicolored lightning inside.

“That’s… Tribulation Lightning?” Yasenia was stunned on the spot. “Can it store it, or is it just a visual representation of the power?”

As she spoke, Yasenia suddenly felt a new energy stream through her meridians. “Such pure energy, where does this come from? There is also a whole lot of bloodline energy!”

Previously, after completing the trial, she had been unable to break through from a low-level Immortal Bloodline to the mid-level one. However, with this new rush of energy, Yasenia felt that it was not impossible.

“Alright, let’s focus on digesting all the gains.”

So, Yasenia closed her consciousness, and then her constitution’s power surged, helping her balance everything as she absorbed it into her body.
