Chapter 1598: Chapter 1598. Strength Of New Skills. |
After returning, Yasenia of course made sure to feed her overwhelming Yang Energy to all her dears until they were twitching helplessly and unable to move a single muscle. Andrea was not any different. After all, Yasenia pampered both of Andrea's sexes lovingly.
Refreshed, Yasenia approached her baby boy and hugged the large egg between her softness. "How are you, my baby? Did you miss Mommy?"
There was no answer, but Yasenia didn't care much. Instead, she began speaking to it for a while, the maids around her serving her some beverages and snacks as she talked of her experiences.
Looking at her maids, Yasenia pondered when to… well, open them up. Seeing Yasenia's gaze, Anna, who had been serving snacks, couldn't help but blush a little. It was as if she was feeling Yasenia's intent even when her face didn't change much at all. "Young Miss?"
Hearing her bashful tone, Yasenia couldn't help but take a sip of the cool drink. All her maids were incredible beauties in their own right, each no less attractive than her own lovers. Yasenia was loyal but not blind. Moreover, since all of the maids had prospects of being something akin to her concubines in the future, her mind couldn't help but wander.
"There is nothing wrong. Thank you for the snacks."
In the end, Yasenia coughed and smiled frankly. Anna's beautiful blue eyes showed a touch of disappointment, but they quickly recovered, becoming serene and respectful like always. "Yes, Young Miss."
Yasenia smiled a little and sighed. "Don't think that I do not know… I am still somewhat preparing mentally. I want to embrace you comfortably, without feeling awkward."
Anna and the nearby maids blinked and then blushed faintly. "Yes, Young Miss."
Yasenia smiled faintly, looking down at her egg. "Well, baby. Mother is off to training again. I must become stronger to protect you better~."
So, with a thought, Yasenia entered the Star Breaker Realm Bead. Once there, she looked opposite to herself, and a single copy appeared.
This copy looked at her with a faint smile, a very light golden gleam moving around their body.
"You know that you are a bit too weak to challenge the Golden Copy, right?"
Yasenia knew. She was able to defeat five perfect Silver Copies of herself after finally getting accustomed to them. Yasenia had used all of her trump cards except the Genesis Pearl, an item that even her copies didn't use since it was a trump card.
If all five copies used that item, Yasenia would be beaten quite helplessly. The nature of the Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core was too overwhelming when placed in multiple Yasenias.
"Even then, I should get beaten up a few times by you before taking the next steps, right?"
The Golden Copy shook her head. "I can use all of your skills in the initial levels of the [Big Improvement] realm. You've only managed to boost three skills to that level."
Yasenia nodded, agreeing with her copy. "I just want to see the difference."
The Golden Copy sighed. "I am truly stubborn. Alright, prepare yourself."
Then, both Yasenia and the copy released all their strength. Boosting techniques enveloped their figures, creating a torrent of massive red and blue light that pierced the heavens.
Their black and white hair floated gently amid their overwhelming auras, yet Yasenia could feel herself being pressured. Moreover, the difference was not a small one. With all of Yasenia's skills at the Big Improvement realm, the difference was just as large.
Yasenia took the initiative. Two massive starlit feathered wings bloomed behind her, and with a single flap, Yasenia shot forward.
The Golden Copy, unlike what Yasenia expected, didn't even move. Instead, she pointed upward.
Yasenia was a bit confused. 'What skill is she using?'
As she was halfway approaching, the copy's seductive lips opened. "[Dying Sun]."
WHOOSH!
A gargantuan red sun manifested above the copy's head, its overwhelming size comparable to Yasenia's dragon form.
Yasenia's eyes opened wide, accelerating further and arriving in front of the copy. Her battle flag swept forward with urgency, yet it was too late.
The Golden Copy used [Fairy Moon Steps] with incredible proficiency, and her curvy body danced around Yasenia's figure, avoiding her strike. Then, as Yasenia turned around, her battle flag coated with [Shattering The Heavens], the copy used [Pegasus Gallop] to create distance instantly.
An instant later, the world turned white.
The Sun summoned by [Dying Sun] exploded, its destructive force sweeping absolutely everything in several thousand kilometers with heat and pressure comparable to that of a dying star.
Yasenia, right in the middle of the explosion, felt as her body was being crushed by a mountain. Her bones fractured, her skin scorched, and her muscles and internal organs ruptured violently.
BOOM!!!
Yasenia's body, swept by the strength of the skill, was uncontrollably blasted away. She bounced against the ground and covered thousands of kilometers in nothing but a few seconds.
Eventually, Yasenia slid to a stop, her fingers twitching and her body an utter mess.
'...What was that? UGH!'
Yasenia, while the energies of the Star Breaker Realm Bead healed her, couldn't help but lie on the ground in a daze. As she slowly sat up with a blank look, her multicolored copy appeared.
This time, though, she didn't slap Yasenia away straight away. Instead, she glanced down and spoke. "Go to the 954th floor and train there for a bit with your new skills."
Yasenia blinked, looking up. "That low?" That floor was the floor with the lone perfect Silver Copy.
The multicolored copy didn't bother answering, her tail moving. Yasenia didn't blink, even knowing that she was about to suffer. Her eyes and spiritual sense locked onto the multicolored copy as her muscles moved from the root of the tail to the tip.
Then, like a heaven-shattering hammer, the tail struck down.
BOOM!!!
Strength far beyond what [Dying Sun] had managed to accomplish crushed Yasenia's sturdy flesh and bones. Then, Yasenia uncontrollably smashed through one floor after another, landing onto the 954th floor.
"Cough… Cough…"
Blood seeped out of her mouth, her lips trembling. 'As ruthless as ever, are we?'
After recovering, she tried to recall what the multicolored copy did. There was a sense of profoundity that, even when she tried to copy the muscle movements, Yasenia felt it was lacking.
Her long dragon tail smashed the ground with loud bangs one after another. However, as she did so, her eyebrows furrowed. "That's not it… that's not it either… Sigh."
After an hour of continuously beating up the ground with her tail, Yasenia shook her head and gave up. "Far too advanced. Well, it is what it is. I wasn't expecting anything either way."
The perfect Silver Copy appeared in front of her with a smile. "Two beatings in less than a minute. I guess we can only have such delightful events in this treasure."
Yasenia snorted. "What am I, a masochist?"
The copy smiled, her usual seductive smile pronounced. "In a way… that's not wrong, is it not?"
Yasenia wanted to deny it, but she couldn't. Instead, she humphed and snorted. "Alright, I know why that multicolored copy sent me here. It was to beat you up a few times and let me release my anger!"
The Silver Copy and Yasenia both burst with similar strength, and with a laugh, they began exchanging blows. Yasenia made sure to avoid using any skill that had reached the [Big Improvement] realm.
"Not bad, but I am more proficient in this one! [Sun's Crushing Blow]!"
Yasenia saw her copy deflect her battle flag with a large sweep and then use her tail to attack. Yasenia quickly deployed [Celestial Aegis], defending against it.
Yet…
The tail, carrying a monstrous crushing and scorching power, impacted like a hammer in brittle glass.
BOOM!!!
Yasenia's eyes widened. "Huh?"
The remaining strength after breaking [Celestial Aegis] struck her side. The remaining power behind the tail was not too high, but the strength was enough to push her back and leave a bruise on her side. "Is that skill really that strong?"
The copy snorted. "Arrogant. Did you think that your self-created skills can match skills created from an Immortal Ranked Cultivation Technique? I admit, you are incredibly good at creating skills. However, those skills are somewhat limited to your knowledge at the time."
Yasenia stopped fighting, pondering. The Silver Copy planted the butt of the battle flag into the ground, and as the elegant cloth fluttered, she explained. "Your current strongest skills, without taking into account proficiency, are [Dying Sun], [Sun's Crushing Blow], [Shattering The Heavens], [Heavenly Firmament Sanctuary], [Fairy Moon Steps], [Heavenly Constellation Steps], and finally, all your Innate skills. Of course, Grand Cosmos stances are good, but they are ultimately complementary."
Yasenia frowned. "So… Are [Celestial Sunder] and the others not worth training?"
The copy rolled her eyes. "You know the answer to that stupid question. Have you become muddle-headed after the multicolored blow? Of course they are not."
Yasenia blinked and realized, sighing. "Sorry, I guess my defeat against the Golden Copy flustered me a bit more than I expected. I had thought I would be able to exchange more than one blow with it…"
The copy nodded. "The jumps between copies are large. However, do not fear it. You are not that far away. The only thing you are missing is pushing your strengthening techniques to the [Big Improvement] realm. Once you do, the golden copy won't have it that easy. Especially a non-perfect Golden Copy. To defeat the first perfected Golden Copy, you will have to push almost all skills to the [Big Improvement] realm."
Yasenia hummed and nodded. "So, to summarize. I must increase my proficiency in the new skills."
"Especially [Sun's Crushing Blow]." The copy advised. "[Dying Sun] is incredibly strong. However, controlling the skill's destructiveness is a bit too difficult. This skill will be your advantage when you face more than one Golden Copy. After all, its power is too indiscriminate to be used in teamwork."
Yasenia nodded again and grabbed Draheart this time around. "Alright, let's continue then."
The copy nodded, not letting go of the Battle flag. The reason was that the copy's proficiency in the new skills was high enough to use the Battle Flag, while Yasenia used Draheart to familiarize herself with it."
While she trained, the girls woke up from their daze and slowly went out. Around nine years after they arrived, Yasenia's heart tingled. Her gaze subconsciously moved toward the egg being tended by the maids in the living room with her Spiritual Sense.
A second later, she noticed a small twitch. Her golden slit eyes lit up.
