Heaven, Earth, Me
Chapter 1045: Skeletal Warship vs Transcendent Realm Cultivators.Once they teleported out, Yasenia didn't lose a single second and waved her hand, summoning the [Profound Skeletal World-Jumping Warship]. The large ship appeared, and they all boarded it, Yasenia shouting orders. "Activate all defensive formations! Accelerate and speed away from where we came from! Prepare the Warship's weapons to retaliate!"
The fifty maids moved as one, and the warship instantly activated, accelerating into space. However, as they started accelerating, Elder Payun appeared in front of them and punched down.
The image of a majestic phantom fist materialized in the sky, descending at them with enough pressure to make everyone but Ayanduin and Gu Chen feel their bodies tightening under its pressure. Yasenia didn't have a good grasp of the warship's capabilities, so she shouted. "Tatyana! Take over leadership!"
The Death Empress spoke softly. "Forward."
The maids, placing one hundred percent of their trust in Tatyana, accelerated the warship toward the descending fist while activating the defensive formations to their maximum capabilities.
"Prepare for impact!"
BOOOM!
All the spectators saw the fist and the ship colliding into a massive explosion, and many shook their heads.
"That's what happens when you provoke a Sixth Realm cultivator. That dragon woman was too arrogant."
"Indeed. Was that treasure so important that she needed to lose her life? A bright star falling like this truly hurts my heart."Elder Payun was also smiling coldly, very sure that his attack had managed to blow the ship into smithereens. Knowing that there were Sixth Realm cultivators within Yasenia's group, he wasn't so arrogant to think that he killed them. Still, without the ship, escaping was now impossible. And with his other four Transcendent Realm companions, the battle was already won.
However, before he could be satisfied, he saw the warship blow past the giant smoke cloud, and instead of continuing skyward, it aimed at him and he heard a cold and imperial voice coming from it. "Fire."
A sharp charging sound echoed as energy from thousands of kilometers in the surroundings rushed toward the bow of the warship.
Elder Payun saw several circles appearing in front of the warship before his sight turned white.
WHOOOM!
The low reverberating sound accompanied a several-kilometer-wide white beam that shot skyward like a pillar trying to pierce the firmament, causing everyone's eyes to widen to the limit.
Elder Payun barely reacted, creating a shield in front of him. However, even then, the cannon's strength made him feel as if a solid sledgehammer had struck his body, blasting him away beyond the stratosphere and far into space.
Tatyana's red eyes looked sideways, and a moment later, the four other Transcendent Realm cultivators appeared by their sides, striking at them with an elemental barrage that would lay waste to continents.
Calmly, Tatyana ordered. "Mirror shield."
Two large circular formations appeared on each side of the ship, absorbing all their attacks. Then, Tatyana spat coldly. "Reversal Amplification Formation."
BOOOM!
The four Transcendent Level Cultivators widened their eyes when their own attacks were returned right at them, magnified by the Skeletal Warship's formations.
Tatyana looked at Yasenia and asked. "Little Treasure, do you want me to kill these people or to flee?"
Yasenia was blinking, not knowing what was happening. 'W-Was this ship always this powerful?' Then, hearing Tatyana's words, she asked, baffled. "You can really kill them?"
Tatyana hummed. "Fifty-fifty. However, even if we fight, we can escape whenever. So, what do we do?"
The dragoness blinked cutely and tilted her head. "They almost made Kali lose her treasure, so… Kill?"
The others started sweating coldly. 'T-Too vengeful!'
Tatyana smirked and patted her head. "That's my daughter~." She ordered aloud. "Alaia, activate the [Immortal Hunting Formation]. We are going to consume a bit of wealth, but if we manage to kill one of them and get their treasures, we should be able to compensate. Hm? Oh, you are finally returning?"
Elder Payun, who had been blasted to who knows where, finally returned. His body was riddled with actual injuries, which made his face look murderous. "You dare injure this venerable one!? Only Death awaits you!"
Tatyana's lips arched bloodthirstily. "Sadly for you, Death is the one that is looking at you. Activate [Island Sinking Meteors Formation]."
Right after, the sky above was illuminated by a bright red formation that covered hundreds of kilometers.
The five Transcendent Realm cultivators looked upward and suddenly saw enormous meteors manifesting and falling toward them at a terrifying speed.
The cultivators took out their weapons and attacked upward, activating their [Intent Domains].
"[Flaming Intent Domain]."
"[Mountain Peak Intent Domain]."
"[Deep Ocean Intent Domain]."
"[Glass Forging Intent Domain]."
"[Magma River Intent Domain]."
The world appeared to stop for a second as the entire place fell under the Transcendent Realm Cultivator's influence. Everything around them was something they could manipulate to their will, and their authority over space and the elements became such that mortal cultivators felt their control over the elements slipping away.
Yasenia looked at her hands and felt such deep weakness that she remembered the times when she didn't have energy. The effect was large to that extent.
Meanwhile, around them, the Transcendent Realm cultivators manifested images of mountains, oceans, and volcanoes that they controlled to attack the falling meteors.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sky felt as if it were collapsing with each exchange, leaving everyone who was unaware of these cultivators' strength breathless. Tatyana looked at everything with a neutral expression and commanded. "Attack Payun with the frontal cannon."
WHOOM!
Elder Payun had naturally learned his lesson and quickly moved aside several kilometers, dodging the attack. However, when he dodged and looked toward the ship, he saw Tatyana's eyes staring straight at him as her lips moved. "Activate [Energy Slicing Blade Formation]. Activate burst acceleration and run him over."
A circular white formation appeared around the warship, and then the warship disappeared from the observers' sight. Only the Transcendent Realm people could see the blurry acceleration of the ship as it appeared right in front of Elder Payun in a rotating blade-like formation.
Elder Payun's face actually became slightly pale as his senses warned him of the lethality of the circular energy blade around the warship. With minimal movements and perfect body control, he reacted and leaned backward, using his sword to deviate the circular blade upward.
A strident noise followed the collision, and Elder Payun's body shot downward like a meteor, slamming against the ground in a giant dust explosion. Tatyana ordered calmly. "Don't let the other four rest. Activate the [Island Sinking Meteors Formation] once more."
The four Transcendent Realm cultivators saw another red formation appearing on top of the other one, and their faces twisted. 'The ship can activate this attack more than once!?'
Tatyana pointed toward nothing and said. "Shot there with the diagonal cannon."
The maids were confused, but they didn't delay a single second, shooting straight into the empty space.
The instant they shot, Elder Payun appeared there, ready to strike at them. However, his face went from bloodthirsty to stunned when a giant white beam covered his sight. 'Huh? How?'
BOOM!
This time around, he received the strike head-on, sending his body flying beyond the horizon and the atmosphere for tens of thousands of kilometers. Tatyana ordered. "Follow him."
The warship accelerated, leaving the four Transcendent Cultivators dealing with the meteor formations.
Meanwhile, Ayanduin and Gu Chen were looking at Tatyana with trembling hearts. Ayanduin asked. "You… How did you predict…?"
Tatyana cut him off coldy. "Later. I need to focus now." Her eyes flashed with white light, and she took out a talisman from her own spatial ring, breaking it and manifesting a powerful skill.
A skeletal hand that would be able to grasp mountains materialized and started closing right as Elder Payun appeared on that spot. The Transcendent Realm cultivator looked around him, his heart wavering with confusion and a hint of fear. 'Again!?'
"Don't underestimate me!" Using his [Mountain Peak Intent Domain], Elder Payun summoned a massive mountain above him and dropped it onto the gigantic skeletal hand.
They were currently in space, and even then, the sheer size of their attacks made it visible from down below. Tatyana ordered. "Use the camouflaging formation and activate burst acceleration straight at him." Then, she looked at both Undying Body Monarch cultivators and stated. "Ayanduin and Gu Chen, don't disappoint me."
Both Sixth Realm cultivators didn't even dare to doubt as they answered firmly. "Understood!"
BOOOOOOM!
The mountain and giant skeletal hand collided like two massive meteors, creating a gigantic explosion in the vacuum of space. As Elder Payun dealt with that giant hand, he suddenly lost the energy signal of the ship for a single instant. His heart dropped. 'Where-? Huh?'
The bow of the warship appeared right in front of his eyes, and in the next instant, his body slammed right against its hull.
BANG!
His head rang for a second, his eyesight getting blurry as the hard surface of the warship and its speed felt like slamming against a wall. However, he reacted quickly and tried to move away. Sadly, both his arms were suddenly grabbed by two pairs of hands that felt like iron pincers.
Looking to the sides, he saw Ayanduin and Gu Chen holding him in place as a massive circular white formation appeared in the front of the ship.
The elder instantly understood what was happening, and his eyes widened. "Y-You dare sacrifice yourselves just to kill me!?"
"Sacrifice?" Ayanduin sneered, and Gu Chen continued. "You don't understand that we are a bit more resilient than you."
Tatyana spat coldly. "Fire."
"NOO!"
BOOOOOM!
The sky was illuminated as a gigantic white beam streaked across it. The other four Transcendent Realm cultivators finally dealt with the meteor formations and were about to rush skyward when they felt Elder Payun's energy signal disappearing. Their eyes widened, and they looked closely at the white beam in the sky.
"It can't be… Did they really…?"
Lord Hurricane appeared around them, his hands behind his back. "They really killed Elder Payun." Then, he looked at those four and smiled faintly. "Are you four going to continue this farce?"
The four cultivators didn't dare. They followed Elder Payun to gain a few favors, but now that he was dead, continuing this battle where they had an actual chance of dying was just not reasonable.
Violet heard Lord Hurricane, and her heart shook. She landed on the warship the first time she met them, thinking that whatever they had there could not threaten her. And yet, Elder Payun was slain in a fight of five against that single warship. While Elder Payun was weaker than herself, the difference was not that large, and Elder Payun had the aid of four other Transcendent Cultivators.
She muttered. "Thank the Heaven I didn't antagonize them…"
Meanwhile, back in the warship, Tatyana looked toward the world and hummed. "They gave up. Well, whatever. Leave this place and retake the trajectory of Andrea's inheritance. Also, Yasenia is back in charge."
Alaia nodded. "Understood."
Tatyana looked around for a few moments and said. "Aha! There you are~. Come here, [Soul Attraction]."
Everyone looked on as an immaterial thing landed on Tatyana's hand. Then, Tatyana dropped it down and muttered. "[Underworld Gate]."
The soul was tied by several black chains and dragged into the Underworld. Transcendental Realm cultivators could actually survive without physical bodies, so to make sure that they were dead, one had to kill their soul.
Once she dealt with that, the Death Empress smiled at the heavily burnt Undying Monarch Body Cultivators. "How was the strength of the warship's main cannon?"
Gu Chen approached, limping slightly, and extended his hand, dropping Elder Payun's spatial ring onto Tatyana's hand. His body was in such a bad state that some of his wives were crying. "You are really… I haven't felt this much pain since the Heavenly Tribulation struck me…"
Tatyana laughed. "That's great! A little reminder of fun times!"
Gu Chen deadpanned.
Meanwhile, Ayanduin looked at Valeria and asked, groaning in pain. "Can you heal me, please?"
Valeria observed Ayanduin's body, which had small carbonized patches of skin with third-degree burns all over, and she hummed. "These are just flesh wounds; don't worry too much about it. You will recover in a few weeks."
Ayanduin wanted to roll his eyes, but even his eyelids were damaged, so he just sighed and limped toward his room. Money followed behind while not knowing what to do. "M-Master, are you sure you are okay? You are more well-done than the steak you usually like to eat."
Ayanduin nodded faintly and sighed. "Yasenia, please cook some delicious food later, okay?"
Yasenia heard him and burst into laughter. "Sure, sure. I'll cook whatever you all want."
Then, the skeletal warship streaked through space and left Ruin World far behind.
