Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 902: Intense Combat. Wrathful Dargoness.

Meanwhile, the other side had around 3000 people left after Yasenia\'s attack, almost all of them being fifth-realm cultivators. While the majority were low-level Epoch Cores, the number of high-level cultivators was more than five times the ones in Yasenia\'s group.

Thankfully, Yasenia and the ten half-step maids were holding off the 20 peak-level Epoch Core assassins. This relieved the burden tremendously, and with 7 Half-Steps on their side, the fight was able to become stable.

Moreover, while the girls didn\'t have as much strength as Yasenia, they were incredibly lethal. The attacks they knew were powerful finisher moves that many lacked.

Kali\'s four fox tails flicked as her presence increased several times over and expanded, covering everything in healing auras. Moreover, thousands of plant creatures with the strength of Half-Step Unification Realm appeared around her, using their bodies as shields to protect people.

While their strength was probably not enough to kill anybody, they were enough to be used as cannon fodder. 

Of course, the girls all fought around Kali\'s summons, ideally using them to create devastating attacks. In the first seconds of the battle, each of the girls had at least one kill under their name.

The battle was intense, and the reason the 290 people could defend so well without losing anybody was their combat formation.

Using a mix of defensive and offensive skills taught in the Astral Sky Clan specifically for this war, they could block most attempts to their life while a few healers in the middle, Kali included, recovered everyone.

Then, as the core of the formation, Flora and Valeria shone the most.

Flora was a Half-Step Dantian Spiritualization Dryad. Her mastery over healing arts and summoning arts was incredibly deep.

So, with a wave of her hand, the numerical advantage of the other side was almost nullified.

The sight of magical plant creatures that eclipsed Kali\'s summon\'s strength was majestic. With her body releasing healing waves, she was like a hurricane of life, making the battlefield fall under her control.

Then, Valeria was not holding back at all. So, from the second she appeared on the battlefield, miserable screams started appearing on the other side.

The Nature Spirit Queen didn\'t summon an army; instead, she fought in the front lines while buffing everyone around her.

Looking closely, everyone on Yasenia\'s side had a faint green glow around them that further increased their regeneration, strength, speed, and even affinity toward their own elements. 

Right then, with all the buffs from Kali, Flora, and Valeria, the people on Yasenia\'s side were fighting at 200% strength.

Like monsters hiding in human skin, each blow from the Epoch Cores of Yasenia\'s side staggered those that were of similar strength to them.

The Assassin Sect Master\'s face was ugly as their attacks were constantly being repelled. His tactic at first was using the Ethereal Soul Realm cultivators as cannon fodder and slowly assassinate everyone. One death on their side in exchange for a few on his side would end up with his victory.

Who would\'ve expected that the dragon woman that had recently broken through could go berserk to the point of releasing attacks that even he feared? Li Chenfang swore that if he failed to defend himself from those attacks, he would\'ve been heavily wounded. \'This is getting out of hand too quickly! We need to kill at least one person to regain morale!\'

He used his movement technique and advanced to the frontline, appearing behind a high-level Epoch Core of the Astral Sky Clan and activating all his most vital skills.

With [Silent Fang Slicer], [Nine Fang Shadow Steps], and [Shadow Invasion Body], his power skyrocketed, and his speed became blinding. 

The [Silent Fang Slicer] was the strongest skill of the Silent Fang Sect, which was named after the skill. It was a skill left behind by one of Distancia Hero\'s subordinates, reaching the quasi-transcendent level. 

Moreover, the other two skills, being peak-level Heaven-ranked skills, complemented his attack and increased the lethality to a level that would allow him to have a chance of assassinating even peak-level Epoch Cores.

The High-Level Epoch Core couldn\'t react at all, and Li Chenfang\'s sword flashed and reached his neck. \'I got him-Huh?\'

Before his sword could sink into the man\'s neck, the shadow of a three-meter-tall woman loomed over him, followed by the feeling of a palm strike landing on the side of his head. 

A calm and nature-like voice reached him in that instant. "You finally decided to attack. [Nature Queen\'s Absolution]." 

Piercing pain spread around his entire body as his soul was attacked, trying to escape the confines of his physical body. 

[Nature Queen\'s Absolution] was a soul palm-strike attack that had a chance of instantly killing the target by severing the connection between soul and body. Of course, being a soul attack didn\'t mean that it had no strength behind it.

As if he was struck by a meteor, Li Chenfang\'s body shot across the decimated place until he crashed into a distant wall, piercing deeply from the momentum behind Valeria\'s attack.

BANG!

The sound was loud enough to be noticed even in the chaotic battlefield.

While Valeria was in the first Level of the fifth realm, she had several Level 9 Intents that allowed her to jump levels and fight far above her strength level. Not to mention that most of her skills were of insanely high quality that would leave [Silent Fang Slicer] looking no better than a mortal technique.

Valeria hummed and wanted to shoot after him. However, she didn\'t dare be too far away from Kali and the other pregnant girls in this situation. So, she retreated and rejoined the combat, becoming a life-shredding warrior goddess. Her staff swung around like a dragon, smashing vital part after vital part of different cultivators.

She had, by far, the largest kill count among all the participating people. 

At this moment, Angel\'s body burst with energy, creating a massive circular formation with concentric squares on the ground that covered most of the battlefield. 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.

When the girls saw that formation summoning several pillars of glass and a large energy sphere in the middle, they all got chills as the memory of Angel eradicating the Heavenly Tribulation with it came back to their minds. 

While the aura around it was not as significant as it was during the breakthrough, it was not a joking matter.

Even the enemies noticed the strength behind it.

Angel chanted the name she gave it after what the skill achieved. "[Tribulation Piercer Formation]." 

While using [Red Crystal Enhancement] and [Prismatic Glass Weaver Domain], her deployment rate was too fast to be stopped.

All pillars redirected the light in the middle of the formation toward the crystal towers, and the six red death spheres shot a light beam that made the air vibrate with an ominous sound.

WHOOM!

Like a heated knife through butter, Angel\'s formation swallowed tens of enemy cultivators inside the death rays.

Once the beams of light moved, what was left behind was either a charred corpse or nothing but ashes.

Andrea looked around and saw that the enemy numbers were dropping down at incredible speed. 

She had been flying around the girls all this time, using her entire skill set to defend everyone. While she had plenty of offensive skills, Andrea perfectly understood that her presence shone the brightest while fighting defensively.

She didn\'t have super showy skills or one-hit, one-kill skills that could severely impact the battlefield. However, together with Ebirah and her Natural Treasure, her presence was like a blinding sun as she moved around the battlefield, saving one person after another.

Moving in perfect coordination with Ebirah, the pair appeared in front of the assassins using powerful skills, blocking every single attempt to harm anyone.

The High-level Epoch Cores of the Astral Sky Clan couldn\'t help but feel their confidence growing with such a youngster protecting them. One of them used a berserk skill while grinning wildly as his body became more beastly. "If that child can protect these old bones, I have no reason not to play as boldly as I can! [Blue Lion Scale Armor]!" 

His strength skyrocketed, and he swiftly moved between two assassins, grabbing them by the arms and smashing them together. His bodily strength was such that the two assassins burst into gore when they smashed together.

Andrea, who saw that, couldn\'t help but laugh. 

However, that moment of distraction was all an assassin needed to come close to her and throw a powerful, piercing attack at her stomach. 

The time slowed down as Andrea looked down with a first surprised and then wrathful face. She could see the glint in the assassin\'s eyes, locked in her stomach, or more specifically, womb area. \'You…\' She could feel it clearly where he was looking. Like never before, an infernal anger consumed her entire body as her motherly instincts to protect her child swallowed her body. "...YOU DARE!?"

Andrea quickly activated her movement technique, moving to the side. The assassin followed the path forward as if he had tracking imbued in his weapon. 

Realizing that, Andrea didn\'t care about anything else but protection as she threw her weapon aside and moved her bare hands to catch the weapon. 

With this, she would block the attack. However, her hands would probably be destroyed beyond recognition. 

Still, it was at this moment that a killing intent that felt like it had spawned from hell itself swallowed everything.

Even before Andrea could redirect the blade, she saw a blue draconic hand appearing in her periphery, and Yasenia appeared by her side, her face twisted like a demon\'s, grabbing the assassin\'s head and flashing by. 

"DEATH!"

BOOOM!

Andrea barely followed the trajectory because of Yasenia\'s speed, but she managed to see the instant Yasenia smashed the man head-first into the solid ground, making his head burst into pieces.

However, her dragoness was not done yet. Not even close.

While she had been fighting the peak-level Epoch cores thanks to her [Celestial Pearl Assimilation], she had never once lost sight of any of her girls. 

The instant she noticed that the assassin was trying to attack Andrea\'s stomach, she saw red, and the next thing she knew, she was grabbing the assassin\'s head and descending to the ground like a meteor.

After cratering and instantly killing that assassin, her blood boiled, and her mouth opened to release a terrifying dragon roar.

"[CELESTIAL DRAGON ROAR]!"

ROAR!!!!

More profound than ever, more penetrative than ever, and carrying oceans of killing intent, her Celestial Dragon Roar hit every assassin\'s soul like a hammer against glass. 

In an instant, several assassins had their eyes explode as blood burst from all their orifices, their souls shattered and destroyed by the wrathful dragon\'s roar.
