Chapter 1536. Conflicted.

The maids have been doing their job during the short time Yasenia fought. Most of them stayed in the throne room, killing all guards that resisted. Among them, sadly, there was Fa Luo. He was a man of his word, a veteran and loyal person, and therefore, he fought even knowing it was hopeless.

He was painlessly killed by Xyrona, using a sword strike to erase the man.

The rest, around 250 of the maids, spread out around the entire Tao Dynasty, slicing through every single person who was related to the crown. Yasenia’s order was, after all, not a bluff.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the Ancestor noticed the movements of the maids. However, before he could interrupt, Yasenia spoke up from behind him, her tone cold. "Old man. I’ve given you a chance, so don’t get distracted. Because, against me, distraction means death. I have spared you once. I won’t do it again. Next time, I’ll decapitate you."

Turning around, the gloomy Ancestor Tao’s eyes looked at Yasenia with surprise and wariness. "You... Aren’t you a Fourth Level Mythical beast? How can you be so strong?"

Yasenia blinked and then frowned. "What are you getting surprised about? Aren’t you an Ancestor of the Dynasty? Your strength should surpass this Heavenly layer’s limit after releasing some seals or something, right? After all, most of you retreat because you want to break through into the next realm."

Ancestor Tao’s heart felt incredibly complicated. Yasenia’s way of speaking, while it was not incorrect, felt as if people like him were a dime a dozen.

While he wouldn’t call himself the strongest existence in the world, Ancestor Tao was sure that he would not lose to anyone. Worst case, he would have to retreat.

However, in front of this alluring Dragon, he felt an unprecedented sense of danger.

"You are the one who spoke. I didn’t want to break through so early, as I have yet to understand my Intent Domain to Level Six. However, since you want to die so quickly, I’ll kill you before Heaven forcefully ascends me."

BOOM!

His aura exploded, reaching the Seventh Level of the Transcendence Realm. Then, around him, an Intent Domain at the Fifth Level deployed. This Intent Domain was quite different from King Tao, covering the world around them with deep darkness.

Yasenia looked around and at him, and then she smiled faintly. "Not bad."

Yasenia then unfolded her own Intent Domains.

The space around her twisted, the cosmos itself manifesting around her. Then, the tyrannical aura of her war and monarch combination domain mixed with it, taking over the entire space.

While these two were Level Four Intent Domains, the quality difference was like comparing the Moon with its reflection in a lake.

Ancestor Tao felt his Intent Domain being suppressed, surprise flashing in his eyes. "How...?"

Before he finished speaking, Yasenia was in front of him, her fist barreling toward his face. "I told you, less speaking."

BANG!

Ancestor Tao’s face cracked under Yasenia’s tyrannical bodily strength, flying back while spinning. Yasenia’s lips arched down in dissatisfaction. "Why is he so brittle? Isn’t he a High-Level Transcendence Realm cultivator?"

Ancestor Tao, who had received a punch that could blow up a world with ease, was slightly dizzy. ’What kind of body has this dragon forged!? My bones couldn’t resist a single strike!?’

Knowing that he was in trouble, Ancestor Tao condensed a massive amount of Darkness Energy, creating two massive wings behind him. Then, he took out a cane sword, and he slashed in the direction of Yasenia’s location, massive arcs of dark light flashing forward.

Yasenia curved her fingers, and she slashed forward with her hand. "[Celestial Dragon Claw]."

The mountain-dwarfing dragon claw tore through the attacks, and Yasenia burst forward, arriving in front of Ancestor Tao.

The Seventh Level Transcendence Realm cultivator quickly stepped to the side, barely dodging Yasenia’s punch. However, having already predicted the dodge, Yaenia’s true attack came from a follow-up tail strike.

In the middle of his dodge, Ancestor Tao couldn’t dodge and was struck squarely on the side by Yasenia’s powerful tail. His ribs shattered, his internal organs collapsing, and his body flew across the sky once more. "COUGH! Ridiculous monster!"

To start with, King Tao could receive Yasenia’s attacks because his body was protected by the Supreme Ranked Killing Formation. Even then, Yasenia’s attacks were enough to pierce that thick defense and damage him.

Now, Ancestor Tao was not protected by such things. While he was stronger than King Tao, as the hurdle from the Sixth to the Seventh level was a large one, it didn’t mean that he was much stronger than King Tao with the formation.

So, Yasenia found herself doubting whether Ancestor Tao was a true Seventh Level cultivator. ’Is he too weak, or am I too strong?’

Our dragoness naturally understood that her strength had made a qualitative change. All her enhancements in Dragon Paradise were nothing but earth-shattering. Still, she had not expected that she had become strong to the point of crossing three levels in the Sixth Realm with relative ease.

’No, Ancestor Tao must be a weak person.’ Yasenia convinced herself, her mind focusing on the battle once more.

If Ancestor Tao knew her thoughts, he would probably die from grievances.

"I am done. You are not able to become a good sparring partner to practice with, so I will kill you."

Ancestor Tao’s body chilled, and he quickly screamed. "HEAVEN! Take me! I want to Ascend!"

Yasenia’s pupils shrank. She stopped summoning Draheart, and instead, Yasenia opened her mouth wide.

As golden chains came from Heaven, ready to take Ancestor Tao up, Yasenia roared. "[Celestial Dragon Breath]!"

The sky turned blue, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Looking up, they saw a small dot from where a several-kilometer-wide blue beam tore through space itself to create a straight line of pure destruction.

Thankfully, Yasenia was aiming upward, so the Dragon Breath soared up, escaping out of the atmosphere and into space.

Even then, looking from space, it looked as if someone had suddenly lit a giant blue beam, destructive energies soaring beyond the world.

After the Celestial Dragon Breath finished, Yasenia licked her reddish, burnt lips and snorted. "You, my prey, want to escape? Not even Heaven can save you if I have my eyes on you."

The golden chains floated awkwardly for a few moments, and then, they retreated back where they came from. After all, nothing of the person who was about to ascend remained.

Back down below, Andrea and the maids had stopped, looking at the sky with trembling hearts. That Dragon Breath’s strength had been too exaggerated. It was not that there were no dragon maids among the three hundred. However, even those dragon maids felt that their own breath ability was leagues behind Yasenia’s.

Anna and Eve looked at Tatyana, their eyes searching for some sort of explanation. "Innate skills can’t be enhanced that much from understanding. Much less those skills that are tied down to race."

Tatyana explained with a shrug. "She went to a volcano and baptized her lungs, veins, and soul by breathing that active volcano’s magma. This is magma that could even damage Seventh Realm dragons. The effects are as you are seeing."

When they heard that, even Andrea, who had strong willpower, winced. They could understand from Tatyana’s light words that Yasenia must have suffered like hell in that location.

When Yasenia returned, a bit dissatisfied with her fight, she saw Andrea wincing. Thinking that she might’ve been injured, she quickly approached, her forehead a little scrunched in worry. "What’s wrong, Darling? Were you hurt somewhere? Are you okay?"

Seeing the jiggling softness jog toward her with a worried look on her seductive face, Andrea very quickly reached out and swallowed another Heart Calming pill. ’The destructive power of those bounces and her face is too much!’

Clearing her throat, Andrea patted the dragon and smiled. "I am okay. I just heard about one of your adventures and felt some second-handed pain."

Yasenia blinked and smiled, happy that nothing happened to her Darling. She hugged her, her tail wagging. "Hehehe. Thank you for worrying, Darling! Do not worry. Also, I’ve already toppled down the Tao Dynasty, so there won’t be any more annoying bees and butterflies buzzing around you."

Andrea’s lips twitched. ’If she knew about those girls from the sect...’ She smiled and hugged the soft dragon back, the egg placed between them. Praising your dragon wife was very important! Andrea knew that, and so, she did it without any shame. "En. I know. Thank you, love. I am very happy you solved my problems."

Yasenia’s tail wags accelerated, showing a smug and proud expression.

"Anyway! Let me see your sect next..." Yasenia looked down quickly, and seeing that her white, fur-edged kimono with embroidered flowers was intact, she sighed in relief. "I forgot to change into combat clothes. Thankfully, my opponents were not too strong. I really like this one dress."

Andrea strongly agreed that this dress truly suited Yasenia’s figure and beauty perfectly. ’When we return, those girls will finally give up.’

Even with Princess Tao’s situation, there were some women in the sect who had yet to give up. Men, of course, were also attracted to Andrea. However, since Andrea initially used "liking women" to make things easier for herself, they didn’t insist.

So, Andrea and Yasenia sat in the throne room, waiting for the maids to finish the clean-up. Tatyana was with them, eating some snacks Yasenia cooked.

"Who are you going to get next, Love?"

Hearing Andrea’s sudden question, Yasenia was a bit doubtful. She looked at Tatyana and asked, curious. "Are any of my darlings in danger like Andrea was?"

Tatyana threw the crunchy, salty, and also savory chip into her mouth, munching a few times. Then, recalling the situations of each of them, she smiled. "All of them are in some kind of trouble. To get stronger, none of them pulled any punches. So, they offended quite a lot of people."

Yaseinia blinked. "Even Baby?"

Tatyana’s gaze became a bit subtle. "Especially Angel. She is probably the one who has stirred the most trouble."

Seeing Tatyana’s look, Yasenia frowned a bit. "Did something happen to Angel?"

"Hm..." Tatyana pondered how to answer. "Not exactly. She just... matured? You will know when you meet her. Still, there is not too much rush."

Looking at the egg between Andrea and Yasenia, Tatyana smiled. "The most urgent matter is resolved. So, you can linger a little bit more without problems. All of them are currently in the middle of something, so even if you go, you’ll need to wait until they finish."

Yasenia nodded, pondering. She turned toward Andrea and spoke. "Since that’s the case, let’s first go to your sect so that we can send our goodbyes. I don’t want to stay here much longer. After all, I am sure that people will come after me for killing King Tao."

Andrea readily agreed.
