Capítulo 193: Chapter 193. Secret Realms Opens! The demon's scheme and Tatyana's sacrifice.
Yasenia was confused and asked Tatyana, "Spirit realm? Who is he? Is he still alive, mom?"
The people nearby also paid attention. Tatyana shook her head, "The spirit realm is what the Mental Nourishing realm was called in ancient times. The mortal realms were called, The initial Realm, Foundation Building realm, Spirit realm, Nascent Soul Realm, and Spiritual Core realm. The names we know nowadays are more literal, and they let the cultivator know in which direction they should nourish themselves."
Tatyana looked at the old man and said, "Also, he isn't alive. He is just a soul strand. When reaching a certain level of cultivation, even if your body is destroyed and your soul shattered into pieces, you can regenerate yourself from a single remaining strand of your soul. Completely killing a cultivator becomes harder as you advance in cultivation."
"Moreover, after reaching this level, you can create a soul strand with some of your power and some memories. These soul strands are aware that they aren't the original; that is why he was a little confused initially. And unless the technique isn't properly done, they will always follow the commands their original self created them for. In this case, I guess it is to guard the portal's entrance."
Andrea asked curiously, "Which level is this realm, Tatyana?"
Tatyana said, "Transcendence Realm. However, these skills aren't much of a threat to me since I can directly attack souls. I can't even remember the last time that someone in the Transcendence realm escaped after fighting with me to the death..."
Evelyn smirked, "Bragging in front of Yasenia to get her admiration?"
Tatyana smiled and said, "Well, it works."
They looked at Yasenia and saw that she was looking at Tatyana with an adoring gaze and wagging tail. Countless blood streams flowed from the people's noses that looked at her, 'How can se be so cute!?'
After looking until Yasenia relaxed, receiving Tatyana's pats, Angel cleaned her nose, hugged Tatyana's arm, and asked in her silvery voice, "Was this senior stronger than mommy Tatyana when he was alive?"
Tatyana chuckled and patted her head without stopping scratching Yasenia under her chin. "He could have killed me with a single stare. Even this soul strand can kill me instantly if it uses all its energy."
Angel's eyes opened cutely, completely stunned. "Stronger than mommy Tatyana!? Wow!" Even Yasenia stopped growling comfortably and looked at that elder seriously. Tatyana used her patting skills to divert Yasenia's attention from that topic. Yasenia, of course, was unable to win and plastered herself on Tatyana, growling coquettishly.
However, suddenly Tatyana's expression became solemn, and she looked east, moving Yasenia and the rest behind her. The rest of the seniors also moved the juniors behind them and created invisible protective barriers around them.
From the east, a horde of demons, incomparable in size to the one that attacked the Ice Nirvana Mountain, appeared on the horizon. However, they didn't come just from the east; the north, west, and south were also filled with demons. They were completely surrounded.
Some seniors spoke with a serious expression, "I can feel at least 600 Demon Monarchs..."
Another senior spoke, "We have 900 Transcendent level cultivators here, but most of us are in the initial stages. These Demon Monarchs are at least in the middle-upper levels. It will be a harsh fight."
But the reason for Tatyana's solemn expression wasn't this. With the help of her summons, she could fearlessly fight hundreds of Demon Monarchs.
Where Tatyana was looking, there were two demons that had an extremely oppressive aura that made the World Laws bend around them.
One of them was a ten-meter-tall red-skinned demon. He had two pairs of big wings that released scorching flames. These flames burnt everything, be it space, air, or anything they fell on. The thing would turn to ashes.
His facial features were terrifying, with burning eyes and sharp teeth, and he had a single pair of black horns growing from his forehead. In one hand, he carried a 7m burning demonic sword. He also had red and black full body armor, but this couldn't hide his bulkiness.
Beside him, a three-meter-tall female green-skinned demon floated lightly. Her facial features were attractive, like an arrogant beauty that had everything under herself. She also had two pairs of black horns, a single pair growing from her forehead and another two on the sides of her head that curled like a ram's horns.
The demoness's two pairs of wings exuded corrosive fumes that would melt Dantian Spiritualization cultivators into a puddle from just touching them. Her body was clad in full body elegant black and green armor, and her black hair flowed with the wind. In her hand, she carried an elegant broad sword proportional to her size that seemed to be absorbing the surrounding energy.
Tatyana muttered, "Two Demon Emperors."
When she finished saying this, the two demon Emperors appeared before the group of cultivators, completely fearless. They didn't even bother hiding their cultivation level, wanting the cultivators before them to feel despair. Their aura washed like a tide to every single cultivator, making all of them feel constricted. It was as if they were just subjects about to be judged by an absolute ruler by their unchallenged strength.
The seniors were completely terrified. "Why are two demon Emperors already on our continent!? They should have needed many more years to enter our continent! It is too soon!"
"We are doomed… How could we fight against them? Even if the whole continent banded together to fight them, we wouldn't be able to win!"
A brave human senior said, trying to make people regain courage. "So what! We should fight until our last-"
However, a female voice that echoed around interrupted him.
"Corrode."
The world laws bent with her voice alone, and that level two Transcendence cultivator didn't even have a chance to resist. With a pain-filled scream, that cultivator melted as if he had entered a place filled with acidic substances. Even his soul corroded. Ten seconds later, only some fumes were left that the wind carried away, effectively disappearing from the world.
Every single senior felt their hearts sinking to the bottom of the Abyss. 'Just a word, and a cultivator died!? What is this strength!?'
Tatyana's countenance became even more solemn. Even she wouldn't be able to do what the Demon Empress did with such ease; this meant that her understanding of the world laws was inferior to the Demon Empress!
However, at this moment, the elder opened his eyes and said, "The secret realm is open. Enter at will."
Before anyone reacted, Tatyana's cultivation exploded at full strength, destabilizing the world laws with her aura alone and making the surroundings distorted. The space trembled because of her might, and the world slowed down. Without delay, her aura wrapped around all the Academy students, and she zoomed toward the Secret realm entrance at nonsensical speed, carrying all the disciples.
The next events happened in less than a second.
The Demon Emperor reacted instantly and flashed between Tatyana and the portal, unfurling his own aura and making it clash with Tatyana's. Tatyana's eyes became fierce as she pushed against the Demon Emperor's aura with all her strength to avoid slowing down, and she commanded the hiding Ying Yue and Hui Zhong to attack the Demon Emperor.
Two shadows zoomed from the Demon Emperor's right and attacked him with sword strikes so strong that they shattered space itself. The Demon Emperor reacted fast, slashing his burning, seven-meter-long sword toward Them.
*BOOOOM!!*
An enormous shockwave spread from their collision point, but with the strength of the Undead Empress and Emperor, they managed to send him flying for some kilometers, making way for Tatyana toward the portal.
However, the consequences for Ying Yue and Hui Zhong were being blasted away tens of kilometers without control and burning bodies.
Tatyana already predicted the shockwave, so she had commanded her [Undead Grand Marshal], Lauren, to use a defensive skill and absorb it in his body. The black armored summon inflated, cracking the armor everywhere, and blood burst from the armor gaps. Nonetheless, this was enough to let a free way to Tatyana.
Then, before anyone else could react, she began pushing them all inside the portal; this included Yasenia.
However, to Tatyana's dismay, she saw the demon Empress breaking some kind of liquid beside the portal and letting the portal absorb that essence, making changes Tatyana couldn't understand in the little time she had. Moreover, the Demon Empress was looking at Tatyana mockingly and amused, as if wanting to see what she would see do next.
Tatyana didn't lose her calm mind, and countless solutions flashed through her mind in less than an instant. After steeling herself, her aura made another change. It became extremely profound and mysterious and melted with Heaven and Earth themselves. Then, she used one of her trump cards; a skill called [Heaven's Fate road in my Hand].
At that moment, when this skill was activated, the world literally stopped for everyone but Tatyana's thoughts.
In this instant that was so small even to perceive, Tatyana's eyes flashed white, and countless threads appeared on the portal. Each thread was connected to every person that was related to the portal.
Tatyana's skill made it possible for her to read every single one of these threads, overloading her mind with countless paths the future may take.
As information about the fate of the portal entered her head, Tatyana had to see all these possible futures. Therefore, even if only an instant had gone by, for Tatyana, an extremely long period of time passed. It felt as if she had been there for an eternity and not a single second at the same time.
Any cultivator of strength near Tatyana's would have their brain-melting after going through this experience. However, Tatyana only had her eyes, mouth, and nose bleeding. She had managed to see the future of the portal three months from now countless times with different outcomes. Nonetheless, there was one thing that always happened. The juniors that entered didn't come back to the sky continent. Tatyana knew that they were alive, but she didn't know where they had gone.
The world slowly began moving again, and Tatyana weighted her option in the short amount of time she had before her little treasure entered the secret realm. 'Do I let her enter? Even if we may separate, this is a big chance for my little treasure. Moreover, with Demon Emperors arriving at this continent, I will eventually be unable to protect her as I'm doing right now...'
Tatyana hardened her heart, and with extreme anguish, she continued pushing Yasenia and the others forward. 'When will I see you again, little treasure?'
During all this time that she was charging toward the portal, if you had realized, Tatyana herself didn't attack even once. That was because she was filling a spatial ring in the worst-case scenario, and right now, it was time to give it to her little treasure.
Before entering the portal, Yasenia saw Tatyana smile at her even while bleeding through her seven orifices and placing a ring on her finger. "Remember to look into the ring, little treasure. I will miss you."
In that instant, Yasenia felt as if her heart was being twisted with a knife. She could feel her mother's hidden distress, and before entering, she shouted with a heartbreaking tone, "MOM!"
However, she couldn't do anything more, and in the next instant, the world spun, and she entered the Secret Realm with all her dears except Tatyana.
