Chapter 202. Death Empress vs Demon Empress. (1)

Tatyana and the Demon Empress protected the rest from the shockwave, and the old man protected the portal, creating a sphere around it. Tatyana looked at him and really wanted to ask why he didn't stop the Demon Empress from tampering with the portal! However, now it was not the time.

Tatyana observed the situation after Tian Long and the Demon Emperor clashed. She saw that none of the two moved after the collision; their strength was on par!

Right after the colossal clash, Tian Long and the Demon Emperor retreated their weapon and claw and looked at each other for a second. Then, they began attacking each other at tremendous speed, leaving countless afterimages of the sword, claw, tail, and wing strikes that blotted the sky, crashing with each other.

Dragon and Demon repeatedly collided, creating an apocalyptic scene. As they exchanged blows, they began flying upward, leaving the area to the other people. The worst thing was that both of them didn't seem to be trying, and even the weaker cultivators could see that they were still testing the waters as they ascended out of their sight and into space.

Tatyana and the Demon Empress looked at their fight for a moment, calculating how much their side would need to win. However, after seeing that they were equally matched in strength, Tatyana and the Demon Empress knew that the fight was going to go on for a long time.

Therefore, they stopped caring about it. Then, they both looked at each other, and their fighting wills spirits clashed. Even when Tatyana's was smaller because of her cultivation realm, the strength wasn't lower by any means. The Demon Empress internally frowned when she saw that she couldn't intimidate Tatyana.

Then, it was time for their auras to clash. Tatyana and the Demon Empress rose high up into the sky to avoid heavy casualties within their ranks. After reaching an altitude of 10 000 km, they released their auras at full strength.

Space bloated around them as their auras exploded outward, shaking the space fabric with an imposing explosion of energy and world laws.

*BOOM!*

Tatyana's greenish-black aura clashed against the Demon Empress's, constantly making the space crack and repair in the meeting point. Tatyana felt pressure from the Demon Empress, and her face became solemn. She knew this fight wouldn't be easy. 'I will have to show one of my trump cards to keep her at bay...'

Before the Demon Empress made another move, Tatyana's eyes glowed crimson as her black and green aura took the form of a ten-kilometer-tall black and green skeletal humanoid. A red aura burst forth from Tatyana, covering this gigantic skeletal humanoid with a red hooded robe.

This red aura transformed and solidified to become an equally big red scythe. The scythe was adorned with different skulls across the handle and had an edge so sharp that even the sunlight that reflected on it seemed damaging.

Now, only its glowing red eyes that radiated light outside the hood could be seen. The aura it spread was terrifying to everyone present; it was like the manifestation of the concept of Death itself had descended on the mortal world.

The demon Empress looked at it with seriousness, "[True Aura Manifestation]… As the rumors say, you truly are a monstrous genius. To be able to create your true self at your level. Your comprehension abilities are extraordinary."

The Demon Empress made a throwing motion as she compressed her aura and shot it toward Tatyana. Like a green wave that bloated the heavens, the Demon Empress's aura fell on Tatyana with the intention to consume and corrode everything in its way.

Tatyana looked at that wave indifferently and elegantly waved her hand in a vertical motion. The spectators saw her True Aura Manifestation cackle eerily as it swung its oversized scythe in a rising motion.

The True Aura Manifestation was extremely small compared with that green wave. However, when that grim reaper swung its giant scythe up, an enormous red crescent shot up. The crescent instantly grew so large that people couldn't see the end and beginning of it. Like an infinite red line, that red crescent cut the air, the aura, the space, and even the Heavens in half! The right and left sides of the cut seemed to be misplaced for a moment as The Demon Empress's aura dissipated, and the world mended itself quickly.

The Demon Empress tsked and flashed toward the distance. After that attack, she didn't have the confidence to fight Tatyana without injuring her own troops. While leaving, her voice echoed around, commanding the Demon Monarchs and other Demons around. "Charge and massacre all of them."

The Demon Monarchs Howled and roared, looking toward the beasts and humans gathered.

*RRAAAAAAHH!!!*

Tatyana followed after the Demon Empress with her True Aura Manifestation. While leaving, she also left a single word. Even if it was just one word, it carried an imperial tone that could not be defied. "Kill!"

All the beasts opened their mouths and let a heaven-shaking roar, answering the demons' battle cry.

*RROAAAAAAR!!!*

Then the more than 1500 Transcendent realm cultivators shot to the sky and began an all-out war. Space trembled, shook, expanded, and cracked as attacks were exchanged left and right in a cataclysmic battle that could only be seen once every thousand years.

After Tatyana and the Demon Empress arrived at their fighting location, they didn't exchange a single word before they instantly began exchanging sword strikes in the air.

The Demon Empress maintained Tatyana's True Aura Manifestation occupied with her own aura. Even if her aura was inferior to Tatyana's and also formless. It still was the aura of someone two levels above Tatyana, strong enough to keep the True Aura Manifestation at bay.

The Demon Empress's demonic sword was leaving countless afterimages and cracks in space as she sent attacks empowered by her corrosive law toward Tatyana.

Tatyana's sword blurred as attacks carrying the laws of Death shot toward the Demon Empress with impressive might.

*CLANG!* *CLANG!* *CLANG!*

The strength of both women made the clouds disperse, and the air explode. Even when they were high up into the air, all flora and fauna below them in thousands of kilometers were dying without a chance to resist. Even the space fabric suffered because of their strikes, leading to some black cracks appearing that were mended right after.

The Demon Empress managed to slip an attack toward Tatyana's waist. Tatyana saw it coming with her [Future Sight], but she didn't find any other option but to block it.

*BOOM!*

Tatyana felt some muscle tearing as her body flew across the sky like a shooting star, impacting through ten mountains. The Demon Empress was about to chase when those mountains exploded in debris because Tatyana was charging back to the battle through them as if they weren't there.

"[Abyssal Strikes]." Tatyana's sword blurred as countless black-green attacks filled the sky.

"[Heaven Corroding Barrage]." The Demon Empress answered with even more strikes, clashing with Tatyana's attack with superior might.

They continued attacking for some minutes, and Tatyana saw that she was getting overwhelmed little by little by the Demon Empress's skill. 'Even if this is my most basic attack, her body strength is too high to compete like this.'

Tatyana retreated and commanded, her voice accompanied by a phantasmal whisper. "[Perish]!"

With her sword swing, an enormous death wave bloated the sky and shot toward the Demon Empress with trampling might. The Demon Empress answered with a defensive skill, "[Demonic Hellgate]."

A kilometric gate appeared before the Demon Empress, blocking that powerful attack. Then, the Demon Empress began thrusting her sword repeatedly as if it was a spear. "[Corrosive Heaven Piercer]."

Green beams shot toward Tatyana like a shooting star rain. Each beam had enough strength to injure Tatyana.

However, Tatyana looked with an indifferent face at those lethal green attacks coming her way. Then, she chanted. "[Fate Altering Dome]."

A transparent white dome adorned with countless moving green runes surrounded her, altering the fate laws in that area and making them bow to Tatyana. Then, whenever one of these attacks crossed this white dome, they made wild turns, shooting back toward the Demon Empress and leaving Tatyana unscratched.

The Demon Empress's face became ugly, 'I really hate fate users! They can alter reality as they like, and they are very annoying.'

The Demon Empress blocked her own attacks with proficiency and ease because the laws inside her attack were hers. Therefore, she could be mostly unscratched when facing off against them. However, this gave Tatyana enough time to gather energy.

"[Death Aura Manifestation: Soul Consuming Strike]" The giant grim reaper in the sky swung the oversized scythe with a cackle toward the Demon Empress. The Demon Empress looked at it with seriousness and hastily channeled one of the skills she couldn't use continuously.

"[Demon Empress's Aura: Corrosive Torment]." The green aura around her semi-transformed into a giant mouth as it shot toward the grim reaper's scythe.

*BOOM!*

Space exploded violently as chunks of reality broke into black voids. However, the space fabric mended itself extremely quickly, returning everything to normal when their attacks consumed each other.

The Demon Empress's attack managed to disperse Tatyana's attack only because the Demon Empress had higher cultivation than Tatyana.

The Demon Empress understood that their battle wouldn't be fast, so she began speaking with some skills in her voice, trying to make Tatyana lose her current facial expression. The Demon Empress was getting annoyed at her expression because it seemed as if Tatyana had everything under control. She wanted to see emotions on Tatyana's face, especially despair. "Tatyana, do you know what will happen to your subordinates after they get defeated? Hahaha. I bet you know, right?"

However, to the Demon Empress's dismay, Tatyana didn't stop attacking even after hearing that, and her expression remained indifferent. The Demon Empress blocked a heavy hit that Tatyana managed to slip in because of trying to talk right now.

*BANG!*

The Demon Empress flew at fantastic speed. However, she was mostly unharmed, and she just felt her arm slightly numb, something that healed almost instantly.

The Demon Empress went to the defensive to speak easier, "I've commanded all the demons to take your subordinates and make them breeding stock~. Wouldn't it be beautiful seeing the Demon children born from them? Or seeing a Demon getting pregnant with one of your subordinate's children. Hahaha, what a beautiful moment it will be!"

The Demon Empress blocked an attack that passed close to her throat and retreated, "But you don't have to worry; you will probably be dead and unable to see what is about to happen to this continent. You are fighting against me, after all. The only outcome of this battle is me-"

As the Demon Empress kept saying things that she thought would provoke Tatyana, Tatyana remained calm as she attacked her continuously. Thanks to the Demon Empress being slightly distracted, Tatyana saw an opportunity. Her red eyes flashed with white light, calculating the method to deal the most damage and attacked.

*BANG!*

The Demon Empress didn't even realize when a sword struck her side. The hit was so heavy that even her armor cracked as she was blasted away, flying like a shooting star without control. 'How did she hit me?'

However, she didn't have time to think much more than that question because another sword strike landed on her back while she was flying!

*BANG!*

The Demon Empress grunted in pain as she felt Tatyana's sword sink into her flesh after slicing through her armor. 'How is she behind me!?'

Tatyana had used her movement technique, and space literally cracked before her as Tatyana stepped through it to appear behind the flying Demon Empress. Then, she chanted, her voice reverberating through the world. "[Fate Altering: Endless Death Barrage.]"

*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*

The Demon Empress was thrown around like a rag-doll as space cracked everywhere because of Tatyana's jumps and sword strikes. The Demon Empress was hit continuously without even a chance to retaliate and unable to dodge!

A myriad of sword strikes landed on the Demon Empress's body, and she could barely block the most lethal ones. The world shifted around as they moved everywhere over the area, creating enormous shockwaves that flattened everything around.

Tatyana is not holding back! Who dares go against the Death Empress? Only fools!
