Tatyana rushed to the severely injured Yasenia after her collision with the Punishment Tribulation, confirming her vital stability amid charred flesh and scales. Despite calls for healers, they allowed natural recovery as Ao Xianlan carried her to safety, while Tatyana extracted a Star Core Realm Immortal Bloodline dragon Beast Core as compensation from Big Sister Ji. Yasenia awoke in agony, verified her child's safety, and discovered her new [Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core] replacing the Celestial Pearl, with her treasures undergoing tribulation lightning evolution as she began absorbing the gains.

While fusing with the new treasure, Yasenia completely lost her sense of time. Her total concentration went into absorbing and integrating it fully.

In that period, Yasenia connected even more profoundly with the new treasure. To begin with, she discovered something astonishing. ‘I can’t detect its treasure rank.’

This discovery implied two key points. Firstly, the treasure surpassed everything she’d encountered, likely exceeding an Immortal Ranked treasure. Secondly, drawing on its power would impose a tremendous strain on her body.

Yasenia felt both thrilled and slightly annoyed. ‘I was just about to harness the Celestial Pearl’s full might. But before I could unleash it in combat even once, it shot up to the skies, becoming unattainable again! Is this treasure playing tricks on me!?’

Despite her thoughts, she knew the treasure’s fundamental essence remained unchanged. ‘At its core, it’s still a Natural Treasure of Celestial Energy. It’s just evolved, gaining control over additional concepts tied to Celestial Energy.’

Yasenia welcomed this transformation wholeheartedly. When activating it, her dragoness figured her power surge would erupt far more fiercely than previously. ‘Even ignoring all the other boosts, the me wielding the Celestial Pearl would get utterly crushed by the me using the Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core.’

It promised total tier-crushing dominance. Nothing comparable could even be uttered alongside it.

‘What matters most about these fresh power boosts is that they aren’t from realm advancements. They elevate my abilities while I remain at Third Level Sixth Realm.’

Every enhancement restored her outrageous talent for skipping multiple levels to battle superiors.

At last, throughout her years of slumber, Yasenia acquired two additional gains.

First among them, all her battle treasures had advanced or broken through. These included four: Draheart, Soluna, Dramel, and the War Flag. Though Soluna wasn’t precisely a treasure, Yasenia lumped it in with them.

‘Soluna has truly advanced to the Fifth Level of the Sixth Realm. Her domains and skills have leaped forward alongside it… Thus, Soluna now rivals a Fifth Level Sixth Realm prodigy with a compound Level Five Intent Domain, just like my Tyrant Warlord Intent Domain.’

This shocked Yasenia. “Wow, isn’t my Soluna stronger than me now?”

This represented pure level-based dominance… except Yasenia had quietly advanced too, courtesy of the Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core’s formation.

While integrating the new Soul Core, Yasenia witnessed its birth and growth from the start. This insight into cosmic treasure creation, combined with her monstrous comprehension gift, let her grasp the concepts required to advance her Celestial Intent Domain!

Thus, with fresh insights, Yasenia elevated her Celestial Intent Domain to Level Four, triggering a qualitative leap.

Now, anyone with a Level Three Intent Domain or lower stood no chance against Yasenia. Solely through her Celestial Intent Domain, she’d basically conquered the lower and mid tiers of the Transcendence Realm!

‘Not bad.’ Yasenia grinned inwardly. ‘These upgrades have propelled my battle power skyward once again.’

If others overheard those wordsnot badthey’d probably want to smack her in sheer exasperation. ‘If that’s “not bad”, then all else is garbage!’

“Hm… That enigmatic new energy has filled my reserves enough to reach Fourth Level Sixth Realm. Still, I’ll hold it back. I’ll gather all four treasures first, then breakthrough to solidify my foundation further.”

With a nod, she examined her Dantian once more.

“All treasures are restored, and… huh… the new Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core orbits the Celestial Star like a moon? This haughty Celestial Star doesn’t mind at all?”

This revelation highlighted the new treasure’s freakish nature. ‘The Celestial Pearl got scorned by the Celestial Black Hole Energy Star, but this new sibling gets spoiled by it?’

“Awesome!” Yasenia could only flash a huge thumbs-up to the new treasure.

Thus, Yasenia gradually roused from slumber. Over those final years, her body regenerated internally, expelling charred remnants while usable parts got consumed by the Celestial Energy Star in her Dantian via meridians. Even fragments of Yasenia’s shattered soul, from the Primordial Palace ordeal, ended up in its bottomless depths.

Naturally, no one protested. This star reigned as the ultimate boss, commanding total obedience from all.

Regaining her senses, Yasenia sensed the transformations in her physique. ‘Wow… My power has skyrocketed.’

Every muscle strand, bone fiber, and drop of blood surging through her organs throbbed with primal force.

Upon opening her eyes, the shifts matched those of a breakthrough! Thus, current Yasenia wielded Fourth Level Sixth Realm strength, perhaps even surpassing it slightly!

Her eyelids lifted, pupils adjusting to the light, as Yasenia shifted and rose from her prone stance. Visually, her dragon form showed little alteration, if any. At most, faint lightning-like streaks glimmered across her blue scales.

Only sharp scrutiny would reveal that subtlety.

Scanning her surroundings, she saw everyone gathered: Lady First, Tatyana, the four maids, and Ao Xianlan. Not a single absence.

Gazing down at Tatyana, she beamed. “I am awake!”

Tatyana ascended into the air, then swung her hand forcefully.

BANG!

Yasenia’s massive dragon form tumbled wildly, bouncing several times before crashing into a wall with a thunderous boom.

Our dragoness remained still, eyes blinking in stunned confusion. Yet spotting Tatyana’s red eyes faintly shadowed by black, Yasenia’s heart clenched painfully. ‘I can be such an idiot sometimes. She must’ve been frantic with worry, and I blurt out something shallow like “I am awake”?’

Utterly accepting the slap without grudge, Yasenia reverted to humanoid form and darted to the quiet, icy Tatyana. Arms wide, she enveloped the woman in her plush embrace. “I am okay. Sorry for worrying you, love. I am really okay, so you can relax.”

Tatyana gave a subtle nod, returning the hug wordlessly. This incident proved deadlier than the Heavenly Tribulation. Punishment Tribulations weren’t designed for survival! Hence, Tatyana had truly feared losing Yasenia this time.

The danger level here dwarfed all prior threats.

Fortuitously, the acquired treasure repelled Tribulation Lightning. Without it, Heaven’s smiting force would’ve obliterated her completely, leaving no trace.

Yasenia breathed a gentle sigh, sensing Tatyana’s chill aura. She’d need time to settle. Glancing at Ao Xianlan, Yasenia resolved. “I won’t visit the other zones until after giving birth. This was insanely risky. I can’t count on the same fortune next time. Is that alright?”

Ao Xianlan nodded swiftly. She stated firmly. “Even without your words, Lady First, your Mother, and I wouldn’t permit it. So, behave and stay put these next years, hone seduction arts, deliver the baby, then head to the last two zones.”

Yasenia grinned and agreed. “I will do that.”

Her hands stroked Tatyana’s back soothingly, tail softly encircling them both. Yet Tatyana showed no quick recovery, clutching Yasenia fiercely while nestling into her neck.

Yasenia glanced down with a tender smile, planting a kiss atop her head. Then, she addressed her disciple and maids with a grin. “Let’s head inside. I’ll share details on my gains this time.”

Shortly, the group entered a chamber, Ao Xianlan now in human form too.

Yasenia settled into a plush recliner, Tatyana glued to her without budging. Thus, she lounged atop Yasenia’s voluptuous figure, perched sideways on her lap.

They conversed, and Yasenia discovered over 8 years had passed in the chill! “So… I missed my 150-year birthday? I’m 152!”

Yasenia sighed inevitably. Time raced now unlike before. Previously, 15 years spanned major realm crossings. Now, no minor level progress in that span.

Lady First inquired eagerly. “How soon until birth, child? It’s near, isn’t it?”

Yasenia sensed inwardly with closed eyes, then beamed excitedly. “Just five more years…” The realization hit, unleashing pent-up nesting urges. She furrowed her brow. “I need a vast room prepared. Plus, a purifying formation to cleanse the air of oddities. Food too—stockpile plenty. Milk… unnecessary. Fresh from me for the baby. Clothes? Hundreds are sewn, but extras won’t hurt, right?”

Watching Yasenia babble suddenly, her golden eyes scanning endless details, all chuckled. Luan Feixue asked curiously. “Master, how long have you been pregnant?”

Yasenia reflected briefly. “About… seventy to eighty years? With these five more, over eighty for sure.”

Others sighed deeply, Ao Xianlan frowning. “That brief? Are you truly ready to birth? Not forcing it? You’re young still, risking premature delivery!”

Yasenia huffed. “Premature birth!? Aunt Xianlan, don’t jinx it! I’m perfectly healthy, and so is my baby!”

Thinking of health, Yasenia noted years without food! Luckily, the baby drew sustenance from her blood regardless. Still, proper meals offered superior nourishment.

Suddenly, a small table appeared beside her, laden with a full spectrum of nutrient-rich dishes. Yasenia’s tail then shoveled food ravenously, Tatyana cradled securely.

The room’s occupants stared speechlessly at the dragon devouring voraciously.
