The ten Abyssal Cultivators looked on with horror as the person they previously thought was impossible to defeat disappeared with the dragon's attack. A sense of despair and fear appeared in their hearts as they saw the giant dragon turn to look their way.
Without even hesitating, all ten of them turned tail and tried to run. Naturally, escaping was easier said than done. Even before they tried to escape, the five Transcendence Realm cultivators deployed their Intent Domains and skills to restrain the space around them.
The exchange between them was fast and gruesome, the Abyssal Cultivators not caring about flesh wounds as they tried their best to put distance between them and Yasenia.
Nevertheless, the dragoness was too quick for them, and her influence arrived quickly.
Once the [Tyrant Warlord Intent Domain] enveloped all 15 cultivators, the battle became completely one-sided. The Intent Domain didn't give Yasenia just incredible fighting power. After all, at the end of the day, it was an Intent Domain related to War. Hence, all her allies would also be affected positively.
"Annihilate them," Yasenia spoke curtly, her intentions spreading through her intent. "Mo Yun covers North; Mo Zifei covers South; Gao Yan covers East; Jilang Qin covers West; lastly, Chen Jizhen blocks anyone who tries to escape the encirclement.
Everyone moved together, and the 10 enemies tried to take advantage and overtake the gaps created between them. However, under Yasenia's Intent Domain, all their intentions were as easy to read as letters in an open scroll.
Yasenia used her giant body to cover most of the places with larger escaping paths, and after fighting for a few minutes, the dragoness systematically got rid of every one of them.
In the middle, there were many bellows full of insanity, screams pleading for mercy, and yells full of pain. Nevertheless, the result didn't change until the very end, finishing the fight much sooner than everyone expected.
Once the fight finished and Yasenia released everyone from the influence of her Intent Domain, everyone snapped back to their normal selves. Knowing that they've been manipulated throughout this fight, Gao Yan and Chen Jizhen showed somewhat unreconciled faces.
However, when they wanted to complain and turned their heads, their gaze was fully occupied by the gargantuan dragon's body size. A being that reached several tens of kilometers in length and had a wingspan of over 100 kilometers was enough to cover the entire sky above a mortal sect, basically. Even some of the cultivator cities were dwarfed by her incredible size.
The dragoness's eyes had returned to their warm and golden color, but that didn't mean that people would feel comfortable around her. The unrestrained aura of Yasenia's body, even after she stopped buffing her body, was powerful enough to send mortals to their knees. One glance at Yasenia in her dragon form weighted like a mountain on your back.
Yasenia looked at them with an indifferent expression and spoke. "Everything's done. Thanks for the help and cooperation."
It was clear that Yasenia basically forced them to obey her orders during the last section of the battle through her Intent Domain. Nevertheless, no one dared complain. Mo Yun had no problem, and the same was true for Jilang Qin and Mo Zifei.
"Yasenia! I didn't know your dragon form was sooo huuuuge!" Mo Yun opened her arms with glittering eyes. "Your body is probably larger than my family's compound! It's truly incredible and majestic!"
Mo Zifei agreed and spoke with a faint smile. "You are also very strong. I didn't expect that you had the ability to kill a Level Three Sixth Realm cultivator with a Level 2 Intent Domain."
Yasenia's facial expression softened a touch as she answered. "He made a mistake at the end. He thought that he could fight me with numbers."
Jilang Qin asked, curious. "If he hadn't done that, how long would it have taken for you to defeat him?"
Somehow, Jilang Qin couldn't see Yasenia losing after seeing that battle. So, the question was not if she would be defeated, but how long it would take for Yasenia to achieve victory.
Gao Yan, somewhat annoyed about the situation mentioned above, snorted. "She was lucky that he made that mistake. Otherwise, the winner and loser wouldn't be clear."
Mo Yun's eyebrows scrunched, and she glared at him. "Hey, why are your words so… sour? Were you hoping for Yasenia to lose or something!?"
Gao Yan crossed his arms. "What are you talking about? Little Sister Mo Yun, I'll tell you now so that you don't make that mistake again. Control your mouth. Words said are not easy to retract!"
"Exactly." Yasenia finally opened her maw, the tone both sarcastic and ethereal. It felt as if a goddess was mocking a mortal for being stupid, making Gao Yan's heart somewhat stuffy.
Yasenia spoke to him, landing on the ground but still reaching their height due to her gargantuan size. "You should be careful about how you speak. Otherwise, I might become upset and leave the sect."
After this battle, Yasenia's mind was clear, and she knew that this mission was something to test her limits. With their strength, defeating the Abyssal Worshiper Sect would be too difficult and would take at least a few decades. Nevertheless, they underestimated her. Or, at the very least, underestimated her talent and capability to gain strength.
This was a very unpleasant matter for our dragoness. The thing she hated the most was people whom she considered allies scheming behind her back. 'Once we return, they'd better give me a good explanation. Otherwise, heh.'
Sensing the coldness radiating from Yasenia's entire body, Gao Yan didn't dare refute Yasenia's words. Even the cheerful Mo Yun acted somewhat carefully. "Um. Yasenia, are you okay?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Yasenia observed them and spoke. "First of all, to not have any accident, I propose that I cleanse your bodies from Abyssal influence."
Chen Jizhen was mad but had not lost his cool. Therefore, he agreed and asked. "How to do this? We don't really have any purification methods, right?"
"Aren't I here?"
The five cultivators glanced over and saw Yasenia's lips arching very faintly. This gave her draconic facial features a somewhat devilish edge. Mo Yun gulped and asked, her tone strangely shy. "S-So, how are you going to do it? Does it involve intimate matters?"
Everyone deadpanned and looked at the squirmish woman. Mo Zifei coughed and smiled awkwardly. "Ignore her, Yasenia. She has… peculiar tastes."
Yasenia blinked a few times and asked, confused. "Is that peculiarness related to dragons?"
Mo Yun blinked her eyes a few times. "M-More like powerful and beautiful female beasts…"
The dragoness deadpanned. "Just… Stand together."
All of them were confused, but they followed her words. Once they stood together, the dragoness opened her mouth and…
CHOMP!
She ate them. To say that the five cultivators were stunned was an understatement. However, before they panicked, Yasenia's voice reached them. "Stay still and don't move. It will hurt a bit, but this is the fastest and most thorough way I can think of to do it right now."
Inside Yasenia's mouth, it was dark and moist, but because of her size, they had plenty of space to move around. As they waited, a blue light appeared from the back of the dragoness's throat and quickly enveloped the bottom of the mouth.
The Celestial flames covered the place and warmed the area, confusing them. "I will slowly increase the temperature and purity of these flames. You all approach slowly and bathe in them. They will burn any Abyss-related traces on you. Remember that they hurt, so just tread carefully. In the meantime, I'll fly toward the disciples."
The five cultivators looked strangely at their surroundings. Not everyone could say that they had been inside a dragon's mouth and lived to tell the tale. Mo Yun's eyes were glittering as she looked around. "This is so cool."
Then, she slowly descended down toward the flames and touched them. "Hiss!"
When she touched them, there was a stinging pain that hurt even her soul. This made her gain a strangely serious expression. "Yasenia. Didn't you say that it will only hurt a bit? I barely touched the flames and got a powerful sting."
The dragoness's voice echoed in her mouth. "Isn't that hurting only a bit? It's not like the pain is even close to constantly breaking your bones and opening your skin."
Suddenly, they all thought that, perhaps, the dragon's pain tolerance and theirs might not be exactly the same. Mo Zifei sighed and commented. "It seems that we will need to suffer."
Gao Yan asked, reluctant. "Is it really necessary? We don't need to follow Yasenia's words religiously, right?"
Chen Jizhen snorted. "Are you willing to risk becoming one of those things? I'd rather be in pain for a while than transform into one of those ugly abominations over time. You even heard Yasenia previously say that even the soul gets corrupted and separates from the reincarnation cycle."
After hearing his words, the others also came to terms and quickly dove into the fire.
A few moments before that, Yasenia arrived near the disciples of their sect.
"Look over there!"
"Giant Dragon! Everyone, be careful!"
"Prepare to defend yourselves!"
"Oh heavens. That dragon is too big!"
"A Sixth Realm Dragon!? Where did it come from!?"
Before they all entered a full panic attack, Yasenia's voice swept the entire place, reaching all of them. "Children, don't panic. It is me, Elder Yasenia Dravory."
Yasenia slowly landed in front of a crowd of nearly 80,000 people. Her enormous body made them look like a small group of ants in front of an elephant.
The dragoness looked at them and almost laughed at the various reactions from the disciples. The grand majority were shocked speechless, while others were either swooning or showing respect and fear.
One of them muttered, his eyes like torches. "We have a Dragon Elder? I always thought that Elder Yasenia was a Dragon Human! Not a full-fledged Dragon!"
"AHHH!"
Suddenly, from Yasenia's mouth, a bunch of screams spread around, startling the disciples and Yasenia.
"Um… What are those screams, Elder Yasenia?"
The dragoness didn't know how to explain without looking suspicious. So, she smiled, and her voice echoed around. "Ignore it. It's just a bunch of weak-willed people unable to bear a bit of pain for their own good."
While everyone was confused, they didn't dare doubt the enormous dragon in front of them. Yasenia looked thoughtful for a moment before she lowered one of her wings as a ramp and spoke. "Come, I'll carry all of you back to the sect. The enemy is already done for."
While she didn't really like people other than her family riding her back, these were her extended disciples. So, she didn't mind doing it once.
Yasenia didn't bother cleansing the entire place of Abyssal Energy because the world would do that better than her. After all, without someone to support and defend the Abyss Territory, Heaven would be the first to strike it down to the ground.
While Yasenia left, an enormous Tribulation Cloud gathered above the Abyssal Worshiper Sect territory. Then, lightning fell there for several hundred days, exterminating every last speck of Abyss that was left there.
