Chapter 1312. Loot and Backstabbing.
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 19:03:51 +0000 UTCGuo Yantao became ashes, leaving behind only one shiny circular object. Yasenia stretched her hand into the ashes and grabbed the floating ring. “Perfect.”
With a smile on her lips, Yasenia tried to look into it. Sadly, the second her spiritual sense collided with the barrier, it shattered. Yasenia didn’t panic; her eyes remained calm. “It’s normal to have barriers. Still, that’s far from preventing me from looting your treasures.”
A black rock with green and red glowing lines appeared on her hand. The rock was palm-sized and perfectly circular, clearly carved out by a master. Then, Yasenia lightly clinked the rock and the ring.
A sound of glass breaking spread in Yasenia’s mind, and right after, the rock turned to dust. A smile appeared on the dragoness’s lips. “Perfect, the barrier is broken.”
Before leaving for her own adventure, Angel and the others naturally gave her plenty of treasures. Among them, there was a [Formation Shattering Stone]. This stone could deal with powerful formations, although it was a one-time use. Yasenia didn’t mind wasting it on a medium-level formation, though. After all, she had over one thousand of these stones.
“Let’s see… What do you have inside?”
Her mind connected the two Spatial Rings, and she started pouring all the demons’ treasures into her own ring. As she did so, the Five Realm Spatial Ring sorted everything by rank, use, and special characteristics. Yasenia ignored everything that was Heaven-ranked and below. Among them, there was a single thing that she paid attention to. “Oho~, he was quite rich. There are 23 Medium Spirit Stones.”
There was a jump of ten thousand between spirit stone levels. Therefore, this was equivalent to 230,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones—quite a nice sum.
“Other than that… He has 13 [Area Healing Talismans], 12 [Thunder Strike Talismans], 5 [Flame Spiral Spear Talismans], 3 [Profound Energy Shield Talismans], 1 [Shadow Uprising Talisman], and 1 [Vulcan Eruption Talisman].” Yasenia blinked at the last two. “They are different from the ones I got. Well, this leaves me with quite a few for myself: 46 [Area Healing Talismans], 54 [Thunder Strike Talismans], 24 [Flame Spiral Spear Talismans], 18 [Profound Energy Shield Talismans], 2 [Fire Mountain Explosion Talismans], 1 [Blizzardshard Icefield Talisman], 1 [Shadow Uprising Talisman], and 1 [Vulcan Eruption Talisman].”
After making an inventory of the talismans, she checked the Transcendence-ranked and above items. “Hm… Not bad. There are weapons, martial techniques related to charm, defensive formations, and also a technique about demon-body arts…” Her eyes gleamed. “These will sell quite well.”
Personally, she didn’t need any equipment or life-saving items. At least, the ones the demon had were inferior to the ones in her possession.
“Okay. With that sorted, we should return to the battlefield.”
[Celestial Intent Domain] disappeared, and Yasenia stepped back onto the battlefield. Looking around, she could see that the battle was still ongoing, but the advantage was overwhelmingly against the female demon and the other soldiers. Even when she and the demon had three large and one small army, they were currently fighting her own army, one large army, and two medium ones.
Yasenia’s army had suffered some casualties, but their numbers were still above 14,000. The rest had lost around half of their numbers already, so it was not surprising that they were losing.
Looking at the female demon, Yasenia activated [Celestial Intent Domain] once again. The female demon had not noticed Yasenia’s return, so she was taken by surprise. “W-What?”
Looking around at the purplish space filled with celestial marvels, her heart was tense.
“I should try to see how strong the talismans are… Here you go, five [Thunder Strike Talismans].”
The female demon felt a chill as she quickly deployed a defensive skill. “[Millennial Ice Wall]!”
RUMBLE!
The sound of thunder echoed throughout Yasenia’s domain, and then, five giant lightning serpents fell from the sky. The first three were blocked by the wall, but the other two managed to pierce through and strike the woman.
“AHH!!”
Yasenia smirked. “Here, five [Flame Spiral Spear Talismans].”
WHOOSH!
Flame burned around the female demon and transformed into five twisting spears. These spears streaked through the air, breaking through the Ice Wall again and exploding against the woman’s body.
The attack was so sudden that the female demon barely had a chance to defend before she was heavily injured. Having no choice, the female demon glared at Yasenia and prepared to use an [Area Healing Talisman].
“Not so fast.”
Yasenia manipulated the [Celestial Intent Domain] and created thousands of celestial bodies, collapsing them towards the middle. “Yasenia Dravoryy!”
The woman's screams were swallowed by the magnificent explosion. The dragoness stepped forward with Draheart in hand, slashing at the middle of the magma sphere. “[Scorching Sword].”
The magma sphere was sliced in half by her golden flames, revealing the heavily injured woman in the middle. Not expecting Yaenia to attack while she hid within the aftermath, the female demon was hit without resistance and killed on the spot.
Yasenia sighed ruefully. “Really… Crushing others with wealth pains my heart so much…”
Of course, her words and actions were very different. Yasenia’s hand quickly snatched the spatial ring and used another [Formation Shattering Stone] to steal all the woman’s treasures.
Looking inside, Yasenia’s eyebrow couldn’t help but twitch. The male demon didn’t really have many charm-related items other than the techniques. However, this woman’s spatial ring was full of… playthings. “I’ve never seen a literal mountain of artificial… well. Whatever. They will probably sell at a good price. To the mountain of items for sale you go.”
Her talisman amount also increased quite a lot. Unlike the male demon, though, the number of talismans was much less. The reason was apparent: she had used them outside. “With this, I now have 49 [Area Healing Talismans], 57 [Thunder Strike Talismans], 22 [Flame Spiral Spear Talismans], 18 [Profound Energy Shield Talismans], 2 [Fire Mountain Explosion Talismans], 1 [Blizzardshard Icefield Talisman], 1 [Shadow Uprising Talisman], 1 [Vulcan Eruption Talisman], and 1 [Ice Mountain Drop Talisman].”
Honestly, it didn’t change much from before. Only the Ice Mountain Drop Talisman was worth it among all the ones she got. “These powerful ones are at another level compared to the others… I will need to use them later to snatch more treasures.”
Stepping out of her domain, she noticed that everyone was fighting against her soldiers, making her tilt her head. Her army was barely holding on, with deaths occurring each passing second. She looked coldly at everyone. “Hey. What are you all doing?”
Hai Lanyue looked at Yasenia with a cold look. “We are still in a competition. I am grateful that you helped, but now you should obediently give up. You are too strong and clearly a threat.”
Yasenia’s heart was tranquil and without any ripples. She looked at the four men and asked. “Do you four also think the same?”
They had heavy expressions as one of them bowed. “I am sorry, Lady Yasenia Dravory. But if we want to have a chance at winning, you must be eliminated.”
“Oh.”
Yasenia ignored them and looked at the woman. “To be honest, I don’t care about their betrayal. After all, my help was superficial, and they have no reason to give up this competition. However…” Her eyes turned terrifyingly cold as chilling killing intent oozed out of her. “You, having received my blood, dare to go against me?”
The woman’s heart trembled, and before she realized it, her surroundings had changed. “W-Where am I?”
Yasenia appeared before her, her golden dragon eyes tainted with a layer of red and looking extremely murderous. “You are in your graveyard.”
Outside, the four men were confused and solemn. “Yasenia clearly has a displacement Intent Domain. We need to be alert and defend against it. I couldn’t catch its essence the first few times she used it, but now I am confident that I can resist being dragged by it.”
Tang Zhihui nodded, his face serious. “The other two demons didn’t come back, so we can guess that she killed them inside. Although I doubt that she will kill Hai Lanyue.”
Bo Tianrui, the man from the woman’s sect, asked anxiously. “What do you mean? We need to break through the illusion and drag them out! Her army is, for the most part, dealt with. So, we have to—”
Before he could finish his words, Yasenia reappeared before them while holding someone. Her eyes looked over to the four men and raised Lanyue. The four of them felt their hearts turn cold at the sight.
Lanyue looked like a dried-out corpse, extremely terrifying. The dragoness spoke indifferently. “You four still want to face me? Or do you want to end up like this woman and the other two demons?”
Bo Tianrui shouted, his eyes bloodshot. “How dare you kill her!? Do you have no heart!?”
Yasenia’s lips arched in a sneer. “For backstabbers like you? I don’t. Now, will you continue fighting me, or do I end this here?”
Bo Tianrui wanted to charge forward, but Tang Zhihui grabbed him. “Wait.”
“What!?” Tianrui shouted, his heart twisting at the sight of Lanyue’s corpse. “Do you want me to let her leave?”
“Yes,” Zhihui answered seriously, his eyes full of caution. “Before you continue speaking, have you noticed how long it took for Yasenia to deal with those three people?”
Bo Tianrui was silenced, and his mood plummeted. After all, how could he not realize that Yasenia only took a few minutes, or even seconds, to kill a Transcendence Realm cultivator? This clearly spoke volumes about Yasenia’s strength.
Zhihui sighed and looked at Yasenia with a complicated expression. “This time, it is we who kicked a steel plate. Let us go. We’ll surrender here.”
The dragoness didn’t bother with them. After all, she had nothing else to win in this competition. “Then, I’ll take my leave…” However, right as she was about to do that, her steps stopped.
‘Hm… If I let them live, will they come back like annoying flies later? Moreover, they don’t even need to act personally. Just telling the Demon Sect that I killed those two will probably be enough to make me their enemy…’
“Actually… I’ve changed my mind.”
All four of them tensed as Yasenia’s [Tyrant Warlord Intent Domain] spread around. Looking at them, she used five healing talismans and smiled coldly. “Let’s play till the end. [Immortal Big Dipper Battle Formation: Four Layers].”
The remaining army quickly reorganized into four groups of four-layered Battle Formation. While the fourth group was creating the battle formation, Yasenia stepped forward and appeared in the middle. “[Three Layered Battle Formation Art: Big Dipper Legion Boost].”
Strength surged within all four groups, but it was far from over. Right after Yasenia chanted, three other voices spread simultaneously. They came from the other four-layered armies.
“[Big Dipper Legion Boost]!”
“[Big Dipper Legion Boost]!”
“[Big Dipper Legion Boost]!”
BOOM!!
A terrifying aura enveloped the battlefield, making the other cultivators tremble.
“Now… Let’s see what you guys do against this. [Four Layered Battle Formation Art: Big Dipper Star Field].”
“[Big Dipper Star Field]!”
“[Big Dipper Star Field]!”
“[Big Dipper Star Field]!”
The sky turned black, and four constellations manifested, shining with the immense power of the stars. Then, pure starlight illuminated the dark space around Yasenia’s army, killing nearly half of the enemies.
A single attack had reduced the enemy numbers to the point that their advantage had completely disappeared.
The four cultivators looked at Yasenia as if she were a monster, bitter regret filling their hearts.
But it was too late. Yasenia’s thoughts of silently leaving after dealing with the demons were already nothing but wishful thinking.
Raising her sword, the dragoness pointed at them with a cold look. “Slaughter everyone.”
With the control and power of the Battle Formation, what occurred next was a massacre, not a battle. Yasenia dealt with everyone in the trial in just 35 minutes; the cost was a few healing and barrier talismans and losing one of her four Battle Formation groups.
