Heaven, Earth, Me-Chapter 1516. Strength Surges! Stirring Awake.

Yasenia’s sense of time was quite fuzzy while adapting to the new treasure. She was, after all, focused entirely on absorbing and merging with it.

During this time, Yasenia was able to get much more deeply in touch with the new treasure. For starters, she noticed something quite incredible. ‘I can’t sense its treasure rank.’

This meant two things. First, the treasure went beyond what she had seen, so it most likely was something above an Immortal Ranked treasure. Second, relying on this treasure's strength would place an incredible burden on her own body.

She was both happy and a bit miffed about it. ‘I could finally grow to utilize the Celestial Pearl’s entire strength. Yet, before I could even activate it once in battle, it decided to soar to the Heavens and become something out of reach again! Is this treasure teasing me or something!?’

Even as she thought that, she understood that the treasure’s “core existence” had not changed. ‘It is, ultimately, a Natural Treasure of the Celestial Energy. Only, it seems to have undergone a metamorphosis that allows it to gain dominion over more concepts that can be related to Celestial Energy.’

This change was naturally welcomed by Yasenia. When using it, our dragoness calculated that her strength burst would be several times more violent than before. ‘Even without taking into account all the strengthening, the me using Celestial Pearl can probably be slapped to death by the me using the Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core.’

It would be a completely tier-suppressing strike. Not even able to be mentioned in the same breath.

‘The important thing about these new strength increases I am gaining is that they don’t come from advancements. They are improving my strength while I am still a Third Level Sixth Realm being.’

Each strength gain helped her recover her previously absurd capability of breaching several levels and fighting those above her.

Finally, during these years she was in slumber, Yasenia gained two more things.

The first one, all her combat treasures had made advancements or breakthroughs. These treasures were four: Draheart, Soluna, Dramel, and the War Flag. While Soluna was not exactly a treasure, Yasenia grouped them together.

‘Soluna has managed to actually reach the Fifth Level of the Sixth Realm. Her domains and other skills have made another leap together with it… So, currently, Soluna is a powerhouse that is comparable to a Fifth Level Sixth Realm genius powerhouse with a compound Level Five Intent Domain, like my own Tyrant Warlord Intent Domain.’

This startled Yasenia. “Wow, isn’t my Soluna now stronger than I am?”

This was absolute suppression in levels… or it would’ve been if Yasenia didn’t have another silent advancement thanks to the creation of the Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core.

As Yasenia was merging with the new Soul Core, she managed to see its creation and development from inception. This allowed her to understand more about the creation of a cosmic treasure, which, with Yasenia’s absurd comprehension talent, allowed her to understand the concepts needed for her to break through with the Celestial Intent Domain!

So, Yasenia managed to, with her new understanding, push the Celestial Intent Domain to Level Four, making it go through a qualitative change.

Now, as long as someone had a Level Three Intent Domain or below, they would be helpless against Yasenia. She had basically graduated from the low and almost mid levels of the Transcendence Realm with the help of her Celestial Intent Domain alone!

‘Not bad.’ Yasenia smiled to herself. ‘With these improvements, my combat strength has leaped once more.’

If anyone heard her say those two words—not bad—they might’ve wanted to slap her out of frustration. ‘If that’s “not bad”, then everything else is shit!’

“Hm… My energy accumulation, due to that mysterious new energy, is also enough to push me to the Fourth Level of the Sixth Realm. However, I should suppress it. I will first collect all four treasures before breaking through, further enhancing my foundation.”

Nodding to herself, she decided to check her Dantian one more time.

“All treasures have recovered, and… huh… the new Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core is actually orbiting the Celestial Star like a Moon? This arrogant Celestial Star is not objecting either?”

That gave Yasenia a new perspective on how abnormal the new treasure was. ‘Even the Celestial Pearl was disdained by the Celestial Black Hole Energy Star, yet this new little brother is actually pampered by it?’

“Awesome!” Yasenia could only give a big thumbs up to the new treasure.

So, slowly, Yasenia stirred awake. During the last few years, Yasenia had regenerated her body from within, pushing out the charred remains, while those acceptable were devoured by the Celestial Energy Star in her Dantian through the meridians. Even some parts of Yasenia’s broken soul, due to the Primordial Palace, ended up in its endlessly deep belly.

Of course, no one disagreed. This star was basically the Big Boss, and everyone bowed to it very obediently.

As Yasenia recovered her senses once more, she began feeling the changes in her body. ‘Wow… My strength has exploded.’

Each strand of her muscles, each fiber of her bones, and even the blood coursing through her organs, everything seemed to be pulsing with raw energy.

As she opened her eyes, the changes she felt were basically the same as when she broke through! Meaning, the current Yasenia had the strength of Yasenia at the Fourth Level of the Sixth Realm, if not a bit more!

As her eyelids opened and her pupils got accustomed to light, Yasenia stirred and slowly raised her body from her prone position. Appearance-wise, Yasenia’s dragon body had not changed much, if at all. If anything, the blue scales had some unnoticeable streaks across them, as if lightning was coursing through her entire body.

Only by looking very closely would someone notice that detail, though.

Looking around, she noticed that everyone was present. Lady First, Tatyana, the four maids, and Ao Xianlan. No one was missing.

She looked down at Tatyana and smiled. “I am awake!”

Tatyana rose to the sky, and then she swung her hand with quite a bit of strength.

BANG!

Yasenia’s giant dragon body was thrown tumbling, her body bouncing a few times until she collided with a wall, creating a large explosive sound.

Our dragoness lay immobile, her eyes blinking a few times in bewilderment. However, looking at Tatyana, Yasenia noticed that her red eyes were faintly tinged with black. This made her heart squeeze terribly. ‘I am sometimes really stupid. She must’ve been worried sick, and I say something as superficial as “I am awake”?’

With absolutely no complaints for that slap, Yasenia changed back to her humanoid form and quickly flew over toward the silent and cold Tatyana. She opened her arms, hugging the woman into her soft embrace. “I am okay. Sorry for worrying you, love. I am really okay, so you can relax.”

Tatyana nodded faintly, hugging her back silently. This time, it was even more dangerous than the Heavenly Tribulation. After all, Punishment Tribulations are not meant to be survived! Therefore, this time around, Tatyana really thought that she was about to lose Yasenia.

The level of threat this time around had been unlike any other time.

Thankfully, the treasure she got seemed to be able to defend against Tribulation Lightning. Otherwise, the level of strength Heaven used to smite Yasenia wouldn’t even have left her remains.

Yasenia sighed softly, feeling the coldness radiating from Tatyana. Clearly, she would need a while to calm herself down. Looking at Ao Xianlan, Yasenia decided. “I won’t go to the other zones until I give birth. This time, it was extremely dangerous. I can’t guarantee that I will be equally lucky in the future. Is that okay?”

Ao Xianlan quickly nodded. She spoke sternly. “Even if you didn’t say this, Lady First, your Mother, and I wouldn’t have let you go. So, stay here obediently for the next few years, practice seduction arts, give birth, and then you can go to the remaining two zones.”

Yasenia smiled and nodded. “I will do that.”

Her hands were constantly soothing Tatyana’s back, her tail gently coiling around both of them. Even then, Tatyana didn’t show signs of returning to normal soon, her arms tightly hugging Yasenia as she buried her face in her neck.

Yasenia looked down and smiled softly, kissing the top of her head. Then, she looked at her disciple and maids and smiled. “Let’s go inside. I will tell you a bit about my gains this time around.”

Soon, everyone moved to a room, with Ao Xianlan having transformed into her human form as well.

Yasenia sat on a comfortable reclining chair, and Tatyana had not moved an inch away from Yasenia’s body. So, she was currently lying on top of Yasenia’s curves, sitting sideways on her lap.

They all spoke together, and Yasenia learned that she had been out in the cold for over 8 years! “So… I missed my 150-year-old birthday? I am 152!”

Yasenia couldn’t help but sigh. Time surely flew by compared to before. In the past, 15 years were enough to cross more than a major realm. Now, she hasn’t even advanced a single minor level in the same timeframe.

Lady First asked, curious. “How long until you give birth, child? It shouldn’t be long, right?”

Yasenia closed her eyes to sense, and then she opened them with excitement. “Only five more years…” This thought suddenly struck her mind, and all the suppressed nesting feelings surged. She frowned. “I need to prepare a big room. Also, a good formation to purify the place, lest there is something strange in the air. Right, food as well. I need to prepare quite a bit of it. Milk… no need. I can give my baby fresh milk. There is no need for stored things. What about clothes? I have a few hundred sets already sewn, but a few more shouldn’t be too much, right?”

Seeing Yasenia suddenly ramble, her golden eyes seemingly analyzing every single thing possible, everyone chuckled. Luan Feixue asked, curious. “Master, how long have you been pregnant?”

Yasenia pondered and commented. “Around… seventy to eighty years? Adding the last five years, I am sure more than eighty years have passed.”

The rest couldn’t help but sigh, while Ao Xianlan frowned. “So short? Are you sure you are ready to give birth? You are not rushing it, right? Remember that you are quite young, so there is a chance of premature birth!”

Yasenia snorted. “What premature birth!? Aunt Xianlan, do not speak nonsense! I am healthy, and my baby is also healthy!”

Speaking of healthy, Yasenia realized she hadn't eaten anything in several years! Thankfully, the baby could gain nutrients through her blood either way. However, food nutrients were quite beneficial.

Therefore, everyone suddenly saw a small table materialize by her side, and a comprehensive array of foods that covered all nutrients appeared. Then, Yasenia used her tail and started wolfing down everything with Tatyana still in her arms.

Everyone else in the room looked at the dragon stuffing herself to death with a speechless look.
