Heaven, Earth, Me Chapter 1535. Brutal Beating.

"Fascinating. You, whose allure outshines both Moon and Sun, prove to be a captivating woman. Let us converse."

That one remark revealed much to Yasenia about this man. Though she had no doubt of his wisdom—after all, brute strength alone couldn't secure his lofty status—she also realized his path to the throne had come far too effortlessly.

Thus, he embodied a tyrant in the most deplorable sense: a self-centered and arrogant despot.

Yasenia kept her face impassive, yet a flicker of concealed disdain appeared in her gaze. She roughly anticipated the direction of their discussion.

Nevertheless, she attempted civility, merely to be thorough. "King Tao, as I mentioned, I've come seeking recompense. I was absent for several years handling certain affairs, yet imagine my surprise when someone attempted to wed my wife. Thus, provide a fitting resolution, or trouble will ensue."

King Tao's grin wavered briefly, his sharp eyebrows knitting together. "Wife?"

Yasenia anticipated this response upon explanation, nodding affirmatively. "Correct. Andrea and I have shared marriage for ages. We've even borne children. Hence, I trust Your Majesty understands the need for proper conduct and due compensation."

King Tao frowned toward Andrea. "First, my foolish daughter. Now, you—a beauty without equal. What allure does that woman hold to make you defy nature's fundamental order?"

Yasenia's features grew icier. "Her qualities are mine alone to judge. I'm addressing you civilly, King Tao, out of respect for Andrea's kind soul. I seek to minimize violence. Yet my tolerance wears thin. Picture your Queen forced into marriage with some stranger during your absence—surely King Tao would rage, no?"

"Insolence!"

The guard captain bellowed, eyes blazing at Yasenia. But prior to another word, Xyrona surged ahead, seized the guard's nape, and crushed his head into the floor.

BOOM!

The palace shook violently while the woman declared icily. "Addressing my Young Miss in such a tone merits execution. No further chances."

Blades and weapons unsheathed, aimed at Xyrona. Yet she remained unmoved, scanning the room coolly. Afterward, she clasped her hands gracefully before her and sauntered back to her spot.

All soldiers eyed Xyrona warily, for scarce few had caught her swift repositioning behind the outspoken fool.

As Xyrona returned, Yasenia's tail softly brushed her cheek, though her stare fixed on King Tao. "Now, shall we discuss compensation? Or persist in your delusions of dominance?"

King Tao's affable facade vanished, gazing down at Yasenia. "Remember, you're deep within my Kingdom. Truly think you can depart unharmed?"

Yasenia met his eyes, then exhaled deeply. Turning to Andrea, she said, "I gave it a shot, Darling. Apologies, but I didn't amass my power to endure scorn from a feeble fool."

Andrea parted her lips, then simply agreed with a nod. "I get it. Proceed freely. I'll hold you back no longer."

Yasenia inquired warily. "Certain you won't regret it?"

"I won't." Andrea beamed. "Your happiness outweighs these insignificant pests."

Yasenia grinned, and ere King Tao uttered a sound, she thrust out her palm, seizing the quivering princess. Princess Tao's throat fitted perfectly into Yasenia's grip as she smirked at the king.

"Evidently, without witnessing my resolve firsthand, you'll never accept you're merely a pitiful, frail ruler."

A lady beside King Tao rose abruptly, pallid-faced, yelling. "STOP!"

Yasenia pressed on undeterred, fingers tightening as horrifying bodily energies warped the area encircling Princess Tao.

BOOM!

A dark void matching Princess Tao's form materialized, erasing her like dawn mist dispersed by breeze.

"ARGH! MY DAUGHTER! KILL! HER! KILL HER!"

The woman wailed in rage and grief. King Tao, however, regarded Yasenia with a grin. "You truly intrigue me. Daring to slay her right before my eyes?"

Yet his grin hid seething wrath. Indeed, absent genuine parental affection, Princess Tao's affections for women would never have flourished. "This King overlooked her condition post your meddling, anticipating healing would end her deviant tastes. Little did I expect you'd embrace doom so foolishly."

The stunning woman shot a fierce glare at King Tao. "Why are you prattling endlessly! Kill her! No, seize her! I want her to suffer endlessly! I will force her to bear a thousand offspring and slaughter them all before her eyes!"

Yasenia’s maids refused to tolerate her frenzied shrieks. After all, each one yearned for Yasenia’s offspring, making her barbs an assault not just on Yasenia but on their precious future children too!

Sensing the shift in the air behind her, Yasenia declared in a cool voice. "The Tao Dynasty no longer deserves to exist. Wipe out everyone bearing the Tao surname."

With an arrogant flick of his hand, King Tao commanded. "Trigger the palace Killing Formation. Seize whoever you can, slaughter the others."

He rose abruptly, his aura surging wildly and erupting with ferocity, unveiling his Level Six Transcendence Realm power along with a single [Light Reflection Intent Domain] at the fourth level.

Yasenia paid no heed to anyone else and advanced one step.

That single step transformed the entire world.

As Yasenia took that step, she released her full might save for her most potent hidden aces.

Around Yasenia, the world wailed in agony, the surrounding space buckling under her overwhelming power before fracturing like glass shattered by a mighty blow.

Every eye locked onto the alluring woman clad in white. Even her maids paused briefly, mesmerized by Yasenia’s breathtaking display of dominance.

"King Tao, you’ve provoked a Dragon in your frailty. Now, pay the price: your entire Kingdom."

Before King Tao could respond, Yasenia appeared right before him, her fist hurtling at his gut while warping the space ahead of it.

He couldn’t react in time, yet the Killing Formation fortunately sprang to life, erecting a robust barrier around him.

BOOM!!

The barrier splintered, the world howled in pain, and space repeatedly tore apart and mended itself. Above, dark clouds amassed in the heavens, cautioning Yasenia that they wouldn’t remain idle if she endangered the realm.

Only after the blow struck did King Tao respond, darting swiftly from the castle yet staying inside the Killing Formation’s domain. ’What sort of velocity was that? I couldn’t track her movement at all.’

Inside his own Intent Domain, King Tao still couldn’t sense Yasenia. A smooth but icy voice sounded from behind him. "Where are you looking?"

Yasenia’s tail whipped across his back, sending his shielded form plummeting like a shooting star into the throne room.

He crashed through the roof, smashing down in the throne room’s heart.

Ebirah, positioned beside Andrea, swallowed hard. "A-Andrea, I doubt my shell could endure strikes like those."

For Ebirah, who boasted unmatched defensive prowess, such words highlighted the sheer brutality of Yasenia’s onslaughts.

Leila, standing nearby, offered a soft smile, her dog tail swishing with delight. "Madam, relax and savor the spectacle. We’ll hold back the crowd so they witness their King’s utter helplessness."

Glancing toward Eira’s position, Leila’s slender eyes curved slightly in a gentle arc. "Particularly that woman who dared insult our Young Miss."

The Queen felt the icy blade pressing against her throat and stared in horror at the white-clad swordswoman beside her. Though no weakling herself, this maid had materialized like a noiseless specter, and the sword was already at her neck before she could utter a sound!

Meanwhile, King Tao leaped to his feet, fury twisting his features. "With my [Divine King Dynasty] Formation active, nothing can touch me!"

Yasenia landed before him, her expression utterly calm. "Is that so?"

King Tao summoned a massive halberd and lashed out with it. "Daring to stand before me, do you mock this King!? [Sky Parting Halberd Light Strike]!"

Yasenia faced the incoming strike and, astonishing all onlookers, reached out her hand. Dragon scales erupted across her palm just before the collision.

BOOM!

The resulting blast hurled away all mortals and weaker immortals, yet Yasenia remained rooted in place, her fingers gripping the halberd tightly with its blade pressed against her palm. It had barely pierced the skin, drawing scant blood that healed instantly.

Andrea’s mouth fell open. ’What monstrous defense is that?’

Leila and the other maids were left dumbfounded. This strike came from a genuine Sixth Level Transcendence Realm Cultivator! Though focused on one path with lagging Intent Domains, his power was far from trivial.

Yasenia remained utterly unshaken. Even prior to entering the Dragon Paradise, she could already overpower foes of King Tao’s caliber.

Now? Ants like him posed no challenge.

Yasenia yanked the halberd, hauling King Tao toward her by force, then unleashed an upward punch with her fist.

Radiant Celestial Energy gleamed in her fist, smashing directly onto King Tao’s jaw. Despite the mighty formation guarding him, his form rocketed skyward, as though striving to reach a higher realm.

Yasenia’s fearsome Spiritual Energy erupted like a surging tide, and she thrust her hand toward the heavens. "[Celestial Dragon Claw]."

An immense dragon claw, spanning dozens of kilometers, materialized over the Tao Dynasty capital. Grasping King Tao firmly, she performed a downward hurling gesture, like tossing away worthless refuse.

King Tao plummeted from above, while Yasenia raised her knee with flawless accuracy.

BOOM!

King Tao’s frame arched like a drawn bow, his abdomen precisely colliding with Yasenia’s knee. What’s more, Yasenia had expertly nullified all his velocity, leaving him balanced on her slender thigh like a bulky trinket.

The once-impenetrable shield surrounding King Tao now fractured everywhere, while his organs had churned into paste, forcing the man to vomit blood.

Observing the King hacking up blood at her feet, Yasenia experienced no emotion. This result came as no shock to her. She grasped her own power completely, and a foe of King Tao’s level merely served as a starter dish.

She spun around and declared in a detached voice to the palace’s inner recesses. "Seen enough? A dynasty as enduring as this one ought to possess an Ancestor or similar figure who emerges when the dynasty nears its end, correct? Reveal yourself, or I’ll eradicate every member of the Tao bloodline until it vanishes entirely and fades from Heaven’s memory."

"Sigh... Child, you are so talented. Why would you forfeit your life so soon?"

Yasenia eyed the appearing old man and gave a subtle smile. "Forfeit my life? I’ve hardly broken a sweat against this worthless worm you deem King. Care to trade strikes and test if you fare any better than him?"

The old man glared darkly at Yasenia, then shot into the sky. Yasenia pursued, a flicker of intrigue in her golden eyes. ’I wonder, does he measure up as a proper main course?’
