Yasenia demonstrated the Realm Bead's ability to create copies of herself. After a playful—and physically punishing—interaction with her lovers regarding her past near-death experiences, Yasenia began battling her copies within the bead. Although the initial bronze-level copies were easily defeated, the challenge escalated as Yasenia progressed to facing silver copies.

Fighting the silver copies was somewhat hard for Yasenia. She had [Celestial Sunder] and her Spiritual Sense at the peak of the [Big Improvement] realm. So, these two things should’ve been enough for her to overwhelm her opposition.

However, the silver copy, while it couldn’t really reach the [Big Improvement] realm, was infinitely close to it with all of Yasenia’s skills. Moreover, unlike Yasenia, the copy perfectly controlled her new strength gained after fusing with all those treasures in the Dragon Paradise.

The result was the current one.

Yasenia quickly twisted her body, flipping up as one of her copies pierced her previous position with their war flag. The second she dodged and wanted to counterattack, the second silver copy appeared right where she dodged, her long and plump leg lashed down like a whip.

BANG!

Yasenia gritted her teeth as her back bent under the terrifying force of her copy’s physical strength. Falling down, her golden-slit eyes moved quickly, and she noticed that Soluna, Draheart, and Dramel were overwhelmed by their copies as well. She was currently on the 960th floor.

At this level, Yasenia faced 3 perfect silver copies of herself, and it was proving to be quite a bit even for her. ’Previously, I almost reached the Golden Copy. Now, I am stuck at the middle of the silver copy level...’

She couldn’t help but reflect. She had truly neglected gaining perfect control after her strength increase.

No one could blame her, though. Yasenia, after giving birth and using most of her free time to learn charm skills, rushed over to get the last two Dragon Paradise treasures. Then, she basically rushed to find all of her lovers without any rest in between.

The time she spent resting was also filled with reuniting with her lovers and spending time together. Therefore, no one could blame her during the last year or so of rushing around... no one but Yasenia herself.

Her body, which was about to impact the ground, flipped as she landed on her legs. Her gorgeously trained muscles absorbed the impact of the landing, the force bending her knees.

Around her body, most of her buffs swirled, creating faint ripples. Still, the spatial integrity of the Realm Breaker Realm Bead was strong enough for even Tatyana to let loose, not to mention Yasenia.

Sensing two of her copies rushing over, each of them holding the battleflags, she gritted her teeth and with a powerful scream, punched down. "SCRAM!"

BOOM!

Her aura and energy burst from her body as she punched the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that pushed those two copies back. However, as she did that, a scorching heat descended from above.

Yasenia didn’t need to think much to know that it was the third copy’s Celestial Dragon Breath.

Not hesitating, Yasenia looked up with a touch of disdain. "Wanting to compete in Dragon Breath? As a Silver Copy, you are too arrogant! [Celestial Dragon Breath]!"

ROAR!

Looking up, her dragon breath tore through the copy, pushing through and impacting the copy squarely. However, the copy that was hit, even when her body had become half scorched, smiled. "Got you."

Yasenia’s pupils shrank. A feeling of sharp metal was currently touching her back. In the slowed-down world, she noticed that one of the copies was lunging toward her back with the war flag, its sharp tip aimed at her heart.

"What? How!?"

STAB!

"COUGH!"

Yasenia’s sturdy bones broke, and the war flag skewered her from behind, piercing her heart.

The copy quickly took out the war flag and jumped back, using Yasenia’s small yet seductive smile to speak. "You lost."

Lying on the ground, Yasenia gritted her teeth and then sighed, slumping on her back. The Realm Bead’s energy healed her injury quickly, but as it did, she needed to go back. ’Wait...’

She recalled that the feeling of going back was not a good one because... A copy with a multicolored aura appeared right beside Yasenia, her cobalt-colored eyes amused.

Yasenia showed panic. "W-Wait! Isn’t there an easier way for—"

The multicolored copy moved her hand, its movement seemingly slow yet carrying an incomparably profound essence. "Go back."

BOOM!!!!

Yasenia’s legs and upper body jumped up as the multicolored copy’s palm landed on her stomach, then, like a meteor, she tore through the ground and cratered onto the 961st floor.

The girls had been spectating the whole process. They had been curious just how strong Yasenia had truly become. After all, in this place, Yasenia would show all her cards as she fought with her copies.

When she trampled her bronze copies, they were quite stunned, but they soon got accustomed. As Tatyana had explained, bronze copies were the easiest to defeat and basically at an "entry level."

Then came the Silver Copies. The jump from Bronze to Silver, in the eyes of the girls, was astounding. One Silver Copy could basically deal with the previous five perfect Bronze Copies with relative ease.

And even then, Yasenia seemed unstoppable. While she used much more strength, and their eyes started to feel a bit strained as she moved higher up the floors, it was clear that she was far from her limit.

Things changed when Yasenia began fighting two perfect Silver Copies at the same time. The speed at which they moved, the shockwaves of their clashes, and Yasenia’s overwhelming physical strength left the girls feeling a touch scared.

Yasenia had become an absolute monster, and even after their best attempts at becoming stronger, they still perceived Yasenia as that monster they had in their memory.

Finally, Yasenia’s defeat was something that left them reeling. The level of battle between the three perfect Silver Copies and Yasenia was one that even Angel didn’t feel comfortable joining.

While all of them could more or less feel that they had enough strength to clash with one perfect Silver Copy from Yasenia, three of them would trample on them.

And even then, the biggest surprise had yet to come.

Yasenia’s multicolored copy appeared, and when she did, the entire place seemed to freeze and fall under the copy’s control. For the first time, they saw Yaenia actually panic as she tried to talk.

That Yasenia, who had been utterly tyrannical, was acting like meeting her parents after doing a wrong thing. The next palm strike clarified any doubts they had.

BOOM!!!

Yasenia coughed blood with a single palm strike and pierced through the floor, smashing a large crater into the previous semi-indestructible field. Evelyn gulped. "W-What was that thing?"

Tatyana chuckled when she saw their expressions. "That’s a high-level copy. While I have yet to reach it, according to her technique and strength, she should be a 500th-floor copy or something, I think."

The girls looked at Tatyana with stunned looks. ’500th? Then what can the 1st floor’s copy do!?’

They almost couldn’t accept Tatayna’s words. Sadly, they had seen it with their own eyes, so denying reality was not a choice!

"Wait." Cecile, as a combat genius, realized another very important thing. "Copies can’t have stronger techniques, cultivation, or treasures, right?"

Tatyana smiled. "That’s right. That multicolored copy is showing strength that Yasenia could, in theory, exert right at this moment."

Evelyn almost felt a curse escape her lips. "Heavens... I now understand why Yasenia wanted to connect us to this place. It’s basically a training paradise."

Yasenia stood with wobbly legs after that palm strike. She was honestly not against this method, even if she spoke those words. The reason? That copy would showcase her movements each time she threw herself down!

While she could not understand anything, her golden slit eyes would always follow those very painful palm strikes with almost religious attention. After all, if she could even grasp 1% of that copy’s movements, her improvement would be ridiculously large.

Cleaning the blood on her lips, Yasenia looked at her lovers and smiled. "Well... That’s about it. I wanted to show off a little and reach the Golden Copy in one single try. Sadly, it seems that I was a bit arrogant, haha."

Angel trotted over, hugging Yasenia and looking up, worried. "Are you okay? That palm strike looked painful."

Yasenia patted her Baby and smiled. "I am okay. Her strike only tore my stomach open, misaligned my intestines, and tore my abdominal and back muscles. A few minutes of rest, and I will be like new."

The girls: "..."

Evelyn sighed, her eyes both exasperated and worried. "Are you not in pain?"

Yasenia tilted her head. "Well, it stings and burns a little. However, this is much less painful than my usual baths..." She paused here. "Speaking of which. It has also been a while since I took one. I should get into the routine again."

So, she moved to the side and waved her hand, summoning her usual bathtub. Then she began picking herbs as she poured water from a lake containing various spiritual herbs.

Kali, who had been looking, opened her eyes wide. "Huh? 100,000-year-old [Moon Dew Lotus]... 100,000-year-old [Ruby Pearl Petal]... HUH? 500,000-year-old [Starlight Sparkle Orchid]!? W-Wait, Yasenia!"

Yasenia, who was mixing the plants, glanced over with innocently blinking eyes. "Yes?"

Kali almost sweated as she quickly grabbed her hands and spoke seriously. "Love. These plants... are you sure you want to bathe in this? You... you might die!"

Yasenia laughed and hugged her fox. "Don’t worry, love. I’ve already used them to temper myself a few times. Also, since they are the herbs I usually use, I naturally have plenty of them. If you need any, tell me."

Kali looked at the beautiful, azure-colored bathwater with worried eyes. She was not worried about the quality of the herbs. Even if Yasenia used a unique or precious herb for her refinement, Kali wouldn’t even bat an eye.

What worried her was that, since she knew perfectly well what type of reaction these things would have, it was Yasenia’s ability to endure.

Evelyn asked, curious. "Is it that bad?"

"Bad?" Kali sighed, conflicted. "If I entered it, even with my constitution and bloodline, I might go into a coma for 10 years at best."

Yasenia turned towards Kali’s worried face and kissed her lips. "Stay by my side, then. I won’t take more than two days. If you see me in danger, I allow you to pull me out."

Kali asked, worried. "...The herbs are precious, though. What if I miscalculate?"

Yasenia laughed, kissing her lips again. "If you do, then I will prepare another one."

Kali sighed, and soon, she nodded. Since those present were only her lovers, maids, and Feixue, Yasenia had no qualms when taking off her clothes. She became naked quickly, and soon, she submerged into the bathwater.

The second she did, her body seized up in pain, her eyebrows pulled together tightly as she gritted her teeth. The medicinal properties drilled into her body, purifying and refining her body with brutal meticulousness.

Kali’s heart leaped a few times when the bathwater wanted to practically devour Yasenia. Yet, besides a few strands of blood that seeped out, the dragoness within the bathwater was mostly okay. In horrifying pain, but overall okay.

Andrea sighed, shaking her head. "Whatever strength she has, Yasenia deserves that and more. It really hurts when I see her using such extreme methods all the time."

Evelyn smiled wryly. "It is because she is like this that her strength has reached the current level." Looking away, Evelyn muttered. "I’ll go fight. I really can’t see Yasenia suffer like that comfortably."
