Yasenia descended through the Genesis Thunder Rift, free-falling while analyzing its lightning energies—destructive thunder infused with Genesis and evolution auras—that enhanced her innate resistance with the Primordial Starheart's aid. Big Sister Ji revealed the rift's composition and, shocked by Yasenia's youth and pregnancy, watched protectively as she adapted at the core's edge over one and a half years, shedding scales. Finally entering the brutal True Core area, Yasenia endured relentless lightning barrages carving her flesh, her treasures and regeneration straining to stabilize her amid the torture.

Yasenia wouldn't fully agree if it was called truly difficult.

She'd likewise refuse to call it simple.

The ordeal in the heart of the Genesis Thunder Rift brought Yasenia intense pain. Yet, she had accepted long before that her path would demand endless suffering. Thus, sensations like these were something she'd grown accustomed to ages ago.

What's more, once the initial months passed, her physique adapted sufficiently, preventing the lightning from tearing away pieces of her flesh anymore.

Big Sister Ji felt genuine admiration. Throughout the entire process, Yasenia merely clenched her jaws. Nothing more. That stood as her most evident sign of distress.

This reaction left the mischievous ancient dragon unusually quiet. Initially, she'd expected grunts and screams of agony from Yasenia for some time. Perseverance from the girl was never in question, yet enduring such torment effortlessly seemed improbable.

‘Enduring soul-rending agony to such a degree… What trials has this young one faced in her brief existence?’

Meanwhile, Yasenia concentrated solely on her own state. With her body safe from further destruction, she steadily advanced toward the center.

Right at the core, another orb-like treasure caught her eye, strikingly akin to the previous pearl. Thanks to her talks with Big Sister Ji, she recognized it as the [Thunderheart Genesis Pearl].

‘This pearl… It won't smash into my Beast Core once more, will it?’

She dreaded that possibility. The agony of her Beast Core shattering was far from enjoyable. That loss of command, the sensation of life fading as death loomed, terrified even someone like her.

Nevertheless, no matter the risk of repetition, she never hesitated even briefly.

In no time, six years elapsed since plunging into the Genesis Thunder Rift. Across this span, Yasenia continuously evolved, adjusted, and reshaped herself amid the onslaught of countless lightning strikes.

Despite that, numbness never set in. Soul-piercing pain defied habituation. It persisted unrelentingly over the years. Fortunately, bodily torment eased considerably with time.

Not due to reduced intensity, but because Yasenia mastered disregarding it.

“A little bit more.”

Just 10 kilometers separated her from the Thunderheart Genesis Pearl—a span reachable by craning her neck or flicking her tail. Still, she held back.

Unscathed beside her, Big Sister Ji grinned at Yasenia's patience. ‘Excellent. No greed here. Reaching now would amplify the genesis bolts a hundredfold instantly. Death might be avoided, but severe wounds would be inevitable.’

Gazing at Yasenia’s belly, her eyes shifted there, and she gave a nod. ‘That womb shields the tiny life flawlessly. Lingering three or four more months allows safe closure of the final gap.’

Yasenia endured, refining her adaptation. Half a year flew by soon after. Ready for the final move, she exercised utmost care. ‘One additional month, then I can grab it.’

That month vanished swiftly. Now, Yasenia endured the roaring genesis thunder effortlessly and navigated the zone with ease. “Perfect. Let’s do this.”

Big Sister Ji grinned. “Are you sure? Unlike Old Man Ao’s treasure, this one has ascended to Immortal Ranked.”

“I am sure.” Yasenia nodded. “I am not scared of Immortal Ranked treasures.”

“Alright then. Go ahead. I’ll guard you.”

Yasenia glanced across and said, “Big Sister Ji, if anything odd occurs, please protect me. Don't assume I'm gone or anything, okay?”

Big Sister Ji’s lips quirked. “Less nonsense and reach out already.”

Yasenia nodded obediently, extending her claw until she grasped the treasure.

Instantly, clouds gathered over the Genesis Thunder Rift, unleashing a deafening roar that quaked all of Dragon Paradise with boundless power.

RUMBLE!!

Outside, Tatyana jolted in surprise, eyes widening skyward. “Tribulation? How is that possible?” She instantly cloaked herself in Death and Fate energy, plummeting at top speed, bridging the gap to Yasenia in under a second.

Sensing the Heavenly Pressure, Big Sister Ji frowned deeply upward. Then, a fearsome Death and Fate aura materialized beside her, leaving her stunned.

“You… human? No.”

Tatyana demanded sternly, “What happened? Why is she like this?”

Big Sister Ji replied swiftly. “Get out first! Non-dragons can't linger here—they'll draw the Ancestor's lingering might. You couldn't survive a strike! I'll explain after, but flee upward now!”

Tatyana opened her mouth, but a horrifying aura chilled her to the bone. She ripped open the void behind and bolted out of the Genesis Thunder Rift. ‘That powerful? One extra second might've left me gravely hurt or dead!’

Soon, Big Sister Ji’s voice transmitted to Tatyana. “I sense your bond with the child. Rest assured, I'll safeguard her. With even a thread of life left, I can sustain her until you heal. Luck favored you this time; the awareness wasn't prepared. Next attempt, escape would prove impossible!”

Tatyana heeded the warning seriously. That aura truly endangered her existence. Yet, facing the inky tribulation clouds crackling with vibrant lightning, anxiety clutched her heart. ‘Foolish girl. Must you stir chaos with every breakthrough? Showing off, are you?’

Inside Yasenia’s Dantian, a brutal clash raged on.

Upon entering Yasenia’s Dantian, the [Thunderheart Genesis Pearl] targeted the [Celestial Pearl]!

The Celestial Pearl, an ancient Natural Treasure, feared no Immortal Treasure. Its current Supreme Rank stemmed from stunted development! Once, it surpassed Immortal Ranked!

Soluna and companions eyed the duo: one sparking deep lightning, the other whirling heavenly glows, swallowing nervously.

Draheart murmured. “Both seem intent on claiming Yasenia’s Soul Core spot. Fuse or devour—which will it be?”

Sui Xing sighed, glancing between them. “The outer Punishment Tribulation pulses. Heaven opposes their union. Success means a Punishment Tribulation descends on Yasenia.”

Soluna narrowed her eyes. “Can’t we block it? We’re her treasures, after all.”

“We can, of course. However…” Sui Xing eyed the Celestial Black Hole Energy Star, frowning. “What does this entity think of our aid right now?”

Soluna grumbled. Though certain the Big Boss wouldn't harm Yasenia, it waited until the brink, prolonging her torment. Errors could still arise. No assurances existed.

Then, Yasenia’s command echoed within. “Both of you. Fuse.”

Commanding. Overwhelming. Even the Celestial Black Hole Energy Star stayed mute, respecting Yasenia’s choice.

The Celestial Pearl and its rival displayed clear hesitation. Their budding spirits balked at yielding. But had they options?

Yasenia’s will imposed itself, rousing the Celestial Black Hole Energy Star.

BOOM!

Awe-inspiring pressure engulfed everything. The Black Hole Star’s immense gravity then yanked both treasures into its orbit.

Reluctant, they resisted faintly. Yet, accelerating spins dizzied even Draheart and others, leading to impact.

BANG!

Yasenia’s thoughts blanked as the treasures detonated on collision, merging in an energy supernova that erupted fiercely from her Dantian.

Big Sister Ji stood vigilant when Yasenia’s soul abruptly destabilized wildly, spiking her alarm. Solely the child’s soul-nurturing zone held steadfast like an unyielding rock amid storm.

Now, within Yasenia’s Soul, the [Primordial Temple] roused.

Above, the Punishment Tribulation stirred.

Myriad powers scanned outward, focuses locking onto Yasenia’s Dantian.

The [Primordial Temple]’s timeless doors creaked open, scraping marble with a deep hum. Energy from lost ages emanated forth—scant, yet substantial.

Every path those energies traced collapsed Yasenia’s soul under the burden. Such torment wrenched a scream from her. “AHHH!!”

Her piercing cry cut through ceaseless thunder, shaking Big Sister Ji’s core. Yasenia, unmoved by lightning’s bodily ravages, now convulsed as if her psyche teetered on shattering from anguish.

Those primordial threads tore through her spiritual meridians en route to her Dantian. Upon arrival, the Celestial Black Hole Energy Star unleashed full power.

Yet Soluna and allies witnessed an anomaly. The strands merely paused, then countered fiercely!

Clash ensued, strands overpowering the nascent Celestial Black Hole Energy Star. Detecting defeat, it whirled faster, shifting strategy.

Soluna and group observed it drawing in the strands, hurling them into the fusion zone. Pure Celestial Energy then exploded outward, stellar fragments plunging to fuel the energy mass.

Externally, Heaven observed, skies growling beneath multicolored lightning’s weight. Completion of this formation promised devastating strikes. The emerging treasure posed existential peril!

Yasenia writhed in utter torment. This escalating chain defied her foresight. Defense was impossible; every ounce of awareness shielded her child’s haven, praying desperately for safety.
