Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 852: A Saint Inheritor\'s Trial.

Andrea asked Tatyana. "What happened? Has something gone wrong?"

Tatyana shook her head. "I don\'t know. Mirrory has done something, most likely."

Kali looked at Angel and asked. "Mirrory should have had a different name before the one Angel gave her, right?"

Andrea laughed. "It is honestly quite a surprisingly nice name. Still, the origins of the name don\'t stop being funny."

Tatyana smirked. "I usually mock her with it, but it seems that Mirrory has become somewhat fond of it, so she just snorts."

Cecile blinked. "She has?"

Tatyana shrugged. "She has. I\'m as impressed as you are."

Andrea was about to say something else when the World around them suddenly transformed without prior warning.

A presence significant enough to make the faces of everyone present, Valeria and Tatyana included, change spread like an unstoppable tide.

Everyone looked over and saw Angel slowly opening her eyes, revealing a pair of green-colored irises instead of blue that were glowing with incredible might.

Then, her aura burst outward as if a bomb went off, creating a powerful enough pressure wave that the sturdy floor of the Tribulation Plaza that held up until now caved in.

The powerful aura wave rushed outward, slamming against the protective formations and clashing with incredible might.

BOOOOM!

The girls looked with stupefaction as thin cracks spread all around it, making their hearts jump. This formation had managed to resist all their tribulations without problems, yet Angel\'s aura was enough to crack it momentarily.

The formation was built with Tatyana\'s help, so right after those cracks appeared, they mended, showing that there was no danger of breaking. Still, the fact that Angel could do that was a feat of strength they couldn\'t understand.

After all, Tatyana herself designed this formation to resist Transcendence-Level Tribulations. Cecile asked with a sharp mind. "This was not pure raw strength, right?"

Tatyana nodded with a smile. "Good eyes. Angel\'s aura carried strength that was not hers; that strength was at the level of an [Intent Domain], allowing it to crack the formation momentarily."

Kali looked at Angel, whose long calf-length hair was changing from blonde to a bright scarlet red. "Are [Intent Domains] that powerful?"

Tatyana nodded. "They are what Transcendence Realm cultivators use to face each other. A Transcendent cultivator without an [Intent Domain] is not considered a proper cultivator." Tatyana paused. "There are exceptions, like with everything, but you get the idea."

The girls nodded.

When Angel\'s hair turned entirely red, leaving not a single strand of hair blonde, the aura around her turned silent and gathered toward her own body.

At that moment, the sky above changed and rumbled with extremely fierce momentum. Angel looked upward, her face cold and indifferent, and she summoned her longsword and shield.

Inside her, the energy Mirrory took was rampaging around, giving her seemingly infinite strength. Angel felt as if she could shatter the sky and split the seas with a single stroke of her sword.

Mirrory commented. \'You will be far stronger during this tribulation than what you\'ll probably achieve during the entirety of your Dantian Spiritualization Realm. Your current power level is quasi-transcendence.\'

Angel was internally surprised, but she had incredible control over her emotions, so she didn\'t react outwardly. She asked. \'Why is that?\'

Mirrory explained. \'As I said, Angel, you are a Saint Inheritor. Your true tribulations are not something anyone else can or even will bear. Yasenia\'s tribulation will probably be weaker than yours. However, the catch is that you are not in your usual state during the tribulations but an enhanced one.\' Mirrory continued calmly. \'So, if we look at it from a danger perspective, Yasenia\'s is and will still be much more dangerous than yours.\'

Angel nodded, and Mirrory warned. \'Angel, your current strength is able to damage this place gravely. The formations Tatyana left behind are strong, but as I said, you are currently in a quasi-transcendence realm of strength. Be careful and try to aim your every attack skywards if you don\'t want to destroy half of this sect accidentally.\'

With a heavy nod, Angel focused on the stormy black sky. The darkness was so deep that it looked as if it would swallow her. Angel had only seen this in Yasenia\'s tribulations, making her feel a bit tense, even when her body was currently overflowing with strength.

Mirrory spoke. \'Use [Light Severing Sword]. That will calm you down.\'

Angel was confused, but she did as Mirrory told her; she aimed skyward, and her energy began rotating. The floor around Angel began cracking as a monstrous energy surge flowed through her enhanced meridians.

Angel went into position, and then she swung her sword. "[Light Severing Sword]!"

The girls looking from the outside saw Angel preparing an attack, and then, the sky split in two.

A beam of light that stretched from side to side shot skyward with speed high enough that it felt instant for them.

One second, the sky was filled with black clouds. The next second, those black clouds were split in half.

Andrea was so surprised and scared by the attack that she uncharacteristically cursed for the first time in years. "What the fuck!? How strong is Angel!?"

The other girls mimicked the raw disbelief that spilled from her soul. Even Cecile looked at the sky with her mouth wide open, unable to control the absolute sense of bewilderment coursing through her veins.

However, the clouds quickly mended as if they were some sort of liquid fusing together.

Angel gulped as she looked at the sky. \'Say, can\'t I use my current strength to kill all of Yasenia\'s enemies? Even if I\'m like half a continent away, I\'m somewhat sure that I can create a formation that can target those distances with my current strength.\'

Mirrory instantly denied her thoughts. \'You don\'t have spare energy to waste. I allowed you to do that sword strike entirely with the purpose of calming you down, which will enable you to use your skills much more efficiently from now on. Focus on the sky, and you\'ll understand what I\'m talking about.\'

Even when Angel was breaking through two paths, the lightning bolts began fusing like in Cecile\'s and Kali\'s tribulation.

The girls became increasingly solemn as the numbers increased without a proper end in sight.

One soldier… four soldiers… 11 soldiers…

One after another, they were formed and placed in orderly lines.

Mirrory saw Angel\'s hand twitch and ordered. \'Don\'t attack. If you attack, all the Heavenly Lightning Soldiers will immediately come at you. Allow the Heavenly Tribulation to prepare its attack. Also, in… four more seconds, begin building formations. This is my last piece of advice. From now on, you are on your own.\'

Angel relaxed and gripped the handle of her sword firmly. While the Heavenly Tribulation Soldiers in the sky increased in number, Angel\'s mind began calculating at outrageous speeds, and glass flowed around her. [Glass Evocation Intent Level 4] and [Energy Flow Intent Level 4] allowed her mind and energy to work extra efficiently, filling her surroundings with fluid-like, transparent, iridescent glass waves.

The multicolored spectacle was breathtaking to look at, creating the image of a small woman who embodied beauty and pureness facing an ominous sky as if she were the only source of light left in the world.

Angel\'s figure looked stunning as she manipulated the glass in complex shapes around her.

Looking skywards, Angel saw a total of 63 Heavenly Lightning Soldiers looking down at her.

Taking into account that each soldier accounted for an average of 22 Heavenly Lightning Bolts, Angel was facing an equivalent of over 1300 Heavenly Lightning Bolts.

Such Heavenly Tribulation for someone breaking through into the fifth realm was nothing but madness. Only Transcendence Ranked Heavenly Tribulations were supposed to reach this level.

The first Heavenly Lighting Tribulation Soldier prepared and descended. Angel looked at it cautiously and continued building her formations. She didn\'t want to use anything during the first rounds, where she could deal with it physically.

"[Brilliant Light Steps]."

Angel transformed into a ray of light and shot upward toward the Heavenly Lightning Soldier with speed no less than it had.

In an instant, both of them clashed. Angel opted to charge with her shield first, impacting against it like a yellow and red meteor.

BOOM!

The Heavenly Lightning Soldier was blasted skyward for several hundreds of meters, and its chest caved in by the shield\'s impact.

Angel\'s shield was not an ordinary shield. It was the Transcendence-Ranked shield called [Heart Of Glass] that Yasenia took from Jaxon and gave it to her. With a beautiful pink crystal-like surface and elegantly adorned golden edges with inlaid green gems, the weapon looked enchanting.

After sending the elemental creature flying, Angel swung her sword, activating [Light Severing Sword]. The arc of light, which sported incredible speed and range, rushed again, creating a blinding flash of light.

SLASH!

The Heavenly Lightning Soldier didn\'t stand a chance, and the flash of light bisected everything and destroyed it.

Angel quickly rushed toward the ground and continued building her formations.

When two and four of them descended to fight her, Angel took slightly longer, as she couldn\'t reliably incapacitate them for enough time to finish them off with one hit. However, she was clearly overwhelming them.

After just five minutes, the first three rounds were completed.

The girls looked with awe and wonder, loosely calculating that the current Angel would probably be able to finish all of them off within seconds.

Tatyana clarified to relax their confused hearts. "It is temporary strength that her inheritance gave her. She won\'t be weak, but this level of tribulation is completely impossible with Angel\'s talent. Eeven Yasenia won\'t have as many Heavenly Lightning Tribulation Soldiers in hers."

The girls felt their hearts settle down, but they didn\'t completely absorb the shock they were currently receiving. Seeing a total of six of those terrifying Heavenly Lightning Soldiers being slaughtered by Angel\'s melee prowess was nothing but extraordinary.

When the next wave was about to arrive, everyone noticed that Angel stopped creating her glass as the ground around her began lighting up.

Angel had created this formation with all her knowledge and added her current enhanced strength to it to create a terrifyingly complex and powerful formation.

It didn\'t have a name since it was a mix of everything.

Several towers of glass appeared with complex structures surrounded by three pillars each. The top part of each of these towers was a sphere of red crystal with several flat surfaces that floated very gently above the iridescent body.

A ball of pure light energy floated in the middle of the formation, sustained by the formations around it.

After that, Angel pointed skyward with a cold and indifferent face. "Destroy it."

The words uttered by the petite girl left everyone stunned. Everyone but those who understood formation making.

Tatyana muttered, her red eyes flashing with clear praise. "Incredible."

The giant sphere of light then shot light bolts toward all the pillars, and these pillars bounced them around the entire formation for a few seconds, further enhancing them. Then, the pillars changed their internal composition, and the light beams bolted into the towers.

WHOOOM!

With the sound of air being ripped asunder, the sky changed from deep darkness to blinding brightness.
