Chapter 846. Overcoming the Tribulation and Changes.

After Cecile used [Moon Hell], almost all the Heavenly Lightning Soldiers were destroyed. However, the two that were stronger managed to burst out of their shells with an impressive show of might.

However, once out, even the spectators could see how weakened they were. Cecile didn't even have to move from her flying place as her energy surged with incomparable might and created several Moon, Space, and Wind projectiles.

The battlefield was a chaotic symphony of attacks. From the heavens, a relentless rain of projectiles descended while the Heavenly Lightning Soldiers on the ground swung their swords with a swiftness that was almost blinding.

Their blurred lightning swords impacted against the several attacks created by Cecile, but they were being pushed back.

Cecile's auras gathered again, and her meridians moved in the sequence of [Freezing Moon Catastrophe]. Energy rushed along them, gathering around her wings while the image of a beautiful bow appeared behind the silver phoenix.

The bow tensed into a full moon with the tree arrows prepared to rush forward. Without any delays, the Moon Phoenix sentenced them to her attack.

The bow that had reached a kilometer in height was released, and the three massive arrows shot down from the sky.

Like three beams of light that had a magnetic attraction, they connected into one in spiral patterns, and when fused, the sky trembled and shattered, swallowing the arrow.

In the same instant that it disappeared, it broke out from space right between the two Heavenly Lightning Soldiers that were about to move and exploded.

BOOM!

A hurricane of Space, Moon, and Wind energies swallowed the surroundings in a silvery storm. And not getting done, Cecile flapped her sky-shrouding wings and created a white fire tornado in the hurricane. Both vortexes combined into a hellish storm that shredded the two Heavenly Lightning Soldiers into pieces.

The vortex grew vertically under the tornado's influence and reached the Heavenly Tribulation Clouds, exploding and dispersing them with a powerful blast.

Cecile looked up and saw the beams of light piercing through the hole and falling on her body, making the coldness that had gathered inside of her melt slightly. She floated in place, gently flapping her wings while looking skywards and thinking about the tribulation.

Right as those thoughts were crossing her mind, her body surged with energy as all the energy released by the tribulation rushed at her and was absorbed by her body.

BOOM!

Her aura burst like a bomb, creating a massive shockwave, and her beak opened to release a loud and piercing Phoenix cry.

QYAA~!

The sonorous and melodic sound inundated the surroundings with her presence, and the girls saw in real-time as the creature increased in size and her aura went through a massive transformation.

The [Epoch Core] appeared on her [Legendary Beast Core] side, and both of them combined to spread a terrifying wave of power through her. If that was not enough, the energy transformation inside her dantian increased the quality and quantity of energy, spreading another profound wave of strengthening.

BOOM!

When all three combined, another shockwave spread while a terrifyingly oppressive aura swallowed the surroundings. This process continued for a while, with the Phoenix slowly adapting and growing to the new bursts of strength.

Yasenia sat cross-legged and waited while looking up, her face thoughtful. Kali and Andrea sat by her sides, and Andrea asked. "Everything all right, love? How are you feeling?"

Yasenia smiled. "Don't worry. It was just a momentary lapse of judgment. It won't happen again, probably."

Kali chuckled. "I don't believe you. If you see us in a dangerous position, you will rush toward us and help us regardless of the cost."

Yasenia laughed a bit awkwardly. "Am I that irresponsible in your eyes."

Kali lifted an eyebrow. "What, did you expect me to tell you that you are perfect? Hahaha." Kali leaned on her side and smiled. "Love, we are all living beings. Even seniors like Valeria and Tatyana commit mistakes; if you didn't show this side from time to time, I would fear that I got paired up with an emotionless and calculative creature!"

Evelyn jumped on her back, pushing her body forward while laughing. "Hey, my silly and lovable dragoness, depressed that your instincts got the best of you… again?"

Yasenia turned her head and bit her cheek playfully. "Are you also teasing me?"

Evelyn burst into laughter. "I am~, what can you do about it?"

Andrea leaned back on her hands, looking toward the silver phoenix. "Do you think that from now on, she will need to use that resurrection skill in each of her tribulations?"

Yasenia paused and looked upward with a pondering look. "I honestly don't know. Her Heavenly Tribulation is linked to mine in one way or another. So, the Heavens will send whatever they can her way." Yasenia smiled with a troubled expression. "I never wanted my soulmate to go through this, but it seems that I dragged her down with me."

Angel was the one who actually interrupted. "Not quite."

Yasenia looked at her baby, who trotted between her legs and plopped her but in the hollow of her crossed legs.

"What do you mean, baby."

Angel pondered. "While her connection with you has made the tribulation stronger, opportunity comes with danger. It's not an event without benefits." Angel felt Yasenia's chin resting on her shoulder and turned to give her a peck on the cheek. "So, Cecile is probably grateful."

Yasenia laughed softly, landing a soft and slow kiss on her cheek. "Thanks, baby. Your words are like honey~, so sweet~."

After two days, Cecile finally stopped her transformation and landed on the ground like a silver mountain; the creature, with her wings stretched, had reached an incredible 1.5 kilometers in wingspan.

How terrifyingly large that was? Each of her actions started to become lethal for mortals, while the wings created hurricane-level winds from their casual movement. Her height was not as large, but it still reached an impressive 500 meters in height.

The girls looked up with difficulty. Even when Cecile was standing quite far away from them, as the Tribulation Plaza was enormous, the creature's sheer size was enough to give them neck pain when looking at it.

Cecile realized their looks and quickly shifted back to her human form. It took her a few minutes to do so, as it was the first time she had done so in her new size.

Once she transformed back, the girls couldn't help but hold their breath. Her dress had become an ethereally beautiful white robe that fluttered elegantly, her platinum-blonde hair glittered with the morning sun, and her body had become beyond perfect.

Her cold and peerless facial features reflected the cold edge of the Moon while giving an aloof feeling a heavenly maiden that had descended to the mortal world had.

Untainted, peerless, and unmatched.

Yasenia smiled gently and stood up, walking toward the seemingly unapproachable woman. However, as Yasenia came closer, her own aura mixed perfectly with Cecile's in a balance of Yin and Yang.

The utterly seductive woman who ignited passion in anyone with a single look and the aloof woman who looked detached from the world approached and hugged each other slowly.

Cecile was tall as a woman, reaching 175 centimeters, just 12 centimeters less than Yasenia. This allowed her to fit perfectly in Yasenia's arms. "How was it, sweetheart?"

Cecile hummed and spoke, her cold voice laced with a clear and undeniable love. "It was scary at first, but then I overcame that, and it became natural." Cecile laughed as she separated a bit and looked into Yasenia's placid golden lake-like eyes. "I even got angry that they managed to kill me."

Yasenia laughed helplessly and leaned forward for a kiss. Their lips interlocked slowly and with perfect synchronization. After one minute of kissing, they separated with smiles and rubbed their noses together. "I'm glad you are okay."

Cecile's face melted into a beautiful smile that dazzled those looking at her. "En."

They separated, and Yasenia looked at Kali. "Well, Honey. Now, it is your turn."

Kali nodded with a confident smile and walked forward. The dragoness intercepted her before she went, engulfing her in a tight hug. "Be careful, okay?"

Kali laughed and returned the hug. "I will. I don't want to make my dragoness feel restless."

Yasenia bit her fox ear once, making Kali exclaim. "Ah!"

Yasenia separated and smirked. "That's a punishment for teasing your lover so much."

Kali lifted her curved and scarred eyebrow. "That's a punishment? Suddenly, my desire to tease you is increasing?"

Yasenia snorted. "You won't say the same when the punishment carries through into the night!"

Kali laughed and finally separated, scurrying away playfully as if she would be eaten.

"Good luck." The dragoness gave her those last words of encouragement and returned toward the spectating area.

Cecile was sitting on the grass ground where the others were, her atmosphere slightly different from before.

Evelyn asked with curiosity. "So, how does dying feel?"

Cecile answered with her usual cold and indifferent tone. "A lot of pain, and then the pain goes away as darkness swallows your conscience."

Evelyn hummed. "What are your changes other than the bloodline increase?"

Cecile stayed silent for a few seconds. "To be honest. I don't know."

Evelyn laughed awkwardly. "I see."

Cecile looked at her and commented. "I think I'm stronger in general; my regeneration is even quicker, and the purity of my energy is even higher. Hm…. What more…?" Cecile pondered and commented. "Ah, I awakened a new innate skill called [Moon Hell]. It uses the space attribute to spread extreme cold generated from the moon attribute in a vast radius. If the defenses are too low, it's an instakill."

Andrea said with awe. "That's THE anti-army skill. What a ferocious power."

Cecile agreed with a simple nod.

Yasenia leaned forward and grabbed her cheeks, making her look up at her. Cecile and the rest of the girls blinked, not understanding what she was doing.

"Sweetheart, did your psyche change?"

Her question took the others by surprise.

Cecile blinked twice. "I think it did."

Tatyana smiled and commented. "It is normal. Her rebirth has significantly changed her way of viewing the world. Now that she has experienced death and also gotten rid of her human traces, she is bound to have a few changes to her mentality."

Cecile looked at Tatyana and nodded. "It did. But that's not too important."

Tatyana shrugged. "Well, that's the truth. You probably feel even more indifferent toward people who aren't part of our family, right?"

Cecile agreed with a simple nod. She acknowledged that she was indeed much more indifferent to those kinds of thoughts. For example, when she thought of the Sect's destruction, the only thing in her mind was if those close to her were okay. It didn't matter to her what happened to the sect at all.

At least abandoning all these people didn't cause her any mental weight.

Mirrory appeared and commented. "It's normal. You are a Moon Phoenix. They are beings that never form groups, and if they are part of one, it is because their mate is in there."

Evelyn pondered. "How then do Moon Phoenix find a mate? If they are indifferent to everything, it should be impossible even to ignite that spark, right?"

Mirrory shrugged. "Moon Phoenixes are admired and sought after. Although they are indifferent, they are one of, if not the most loyal partner one could ever find. So, they are all courted by so many people that when a mature and single Moon Phoenix visits a place, almost all single people try to meet them."

The girls were speechless. Mirrory added. "That's why most Moon Phoenix actually mate with each other. They know about their traits, so another Moon Phoenix is actually the perfect partner for a Moon Phoenix."

Mirrory looked at Yasenia and laughed. "You are lucky that Cecile went from human to what she is now, or you would've never got her with a harem~."

Yasenia snorted and hugged her Phoenix. "But now she is mine."

Cecile's lips arched. "Yes, I am, love."
