Tatyana heard Rita speak her last words, "How did you become…so…str..ong?" Tatyana smiled at her.

When Tatyana extracted her hand, Rita's body turned to dust, and her soul got absorbed by Tatyana, creating another general for her army.

Tatyana spoke. "If only you knew that the reason is related to whom you tried to harm... Maybe, you wouldn't have done something so foolish?"

What Rita nor anybody knew was that the gains she had in that ancient tomb were astounding.

She was trapped inside for less than a thousand years in outside time, but time inside was stretched.

Almost every day was a struggle against countless enemies, be it golems, undead, or some unknown civilizations with similar tails to Yesenia.

She tried to communicate with these civilizations, but they weren't sapient, so she killed them all.

After studying the texts left behind in these cities, she learned that their state resulted from a failed ritual. They were trying to forcefully change the innate attributes of their civilization using the Moon Goddess and the Sun God's blood.

The reason she wasn't overwhelmed by that place, to which the word "World" was more appropriate because of its size, was because of her three innate skills. [Death phantom], [Death absorption], and her ultimate skill [Fate calling song].

The [Death phantom] saves the soul of anybody with a deep connection with Tatyana with the help of the fate energy. The other condition is to kill without remorse.

The general class undead will be created if these two conditions are fulfilled.

The more resentful Tatyana is towards the person who once had a deep connection with her, the stronger the phantom's initial level. They can all grow, though.

This is why the commander is her first love, who betrayed her when she didn't have much experience in love affairs, and thus when she killed him and all her previous "sisters," she also did it with a twisted amount of resentment.

At that time, she was almost consumed by her heart demons.

Her constitution [Death devouring seer] has a unique space for these souls, and she saves them there to consume or transform them.

[Death absorption] This ability also comes from her constitution [Death devouring seer]. It was simple yet strong. It lets her absorb the energy from her slain enemies unless they are constructs.

The ones she can absorb are life and death energy.

For Tatyana, it doesn't matter if she fights against the living or the undead. She will be able to replenish her energy as long as she kills.

Moreover, she can use that energy to upgrade her cultivation.

Finally, [Fate calling song] is a song to summon everything that has died by her army and she has saved in her constitution space. It costs ten percent of her gigantic energy pool peruse and lasts up to a day.

For reference, cultivators like Tatyana could fight continuously for some years.

However, Tatyana can consume her whole energy pool in ten uses of the Fate calling song! 

On the other side... She can sing endlessly if enough targets are combined with [Death absorption].

She has a great variety of undead. Some, although very few, are even stronger than her generals, for example, the Bone Dragon. In this fight, she didn't even need all her most powerful summons, so she didn't use them.

The downside of her undead is that they are completely destroyed after a non-general undead is destroyed or one which wasn't added to her army by the [Phantom Death] skill.

This song, however, not only summons an army but also strengthens Tatyana and her undead the longer she sings.

Finally, the most crucial effect.

The song creates a zone where the enemies listening to her voice can't even escape. Space is locked and becomes Tatyana's domain. Only other domains of similar strength would allow cultivators to have a chance to fight back.

That is one of the reasons that Tatyana won't use the [Fate calling song] unless she wants complete annihilation of the power or person she is fighting.

She didn't want people to prepare antilocking artifacts against her... Chasing her prey was very tiresome.

Tatyana looked towards the distant sect. She started guiding her army there without using her song. Now that all the strong people were dead, she killed everybody else easily… except one boy who seemed to have a teleporting life-saving treasure.

Thankfully, he was in the middle of closed-door cultivation and didn't see her. He had just left when he sensed something wrong and saw an undead army attacking.

Tatyana looted the whole branch sect and took the spatial rings of everyone there.

Tatyana looked at the pile of spatial rings in front of her and said with a sigh. "What a mess, I will have to order all these things… Can they not have so many treasures? This is the part I like the least about fighting..."

"Hmmm, I will go to my faction headquarters and send it to that woman who was in charge of my treasury. She wouldn't mind doing these boring things! Right?'

A woman far away cursed reflexively. She did not know why, but she felt as if the madwoman would soon put her in charge of something troublesome.

Tatyana then crouched with a pout, thinking of how much time she would need to tidy these things.

She poked at one nearby corpse and said with a coy smile. "Do you think that I gained a refill on Yasenium? I did a good job, so I should get rewarded, right?"

The red-eyed woman grabbed the decapitated head and forced it to nod. "Oh! You are such a cutie~."

Then, she stood up and looked into the distance. "Hmm… should I visit her? I should not, but… thinking about that deliciously sweet and thick white substance… *Slurp.* Let's visit her! Yasenia, I hope you already have some daughters-in-law prepared, or Mommy will punish you without leaving the bed for a week! Fufufufu~"

Then she took her flying treasure and disappeared from the spot, not knowing that she would have some work to do soon, making it impossible to visit Yasenia soon because the man that luckily escaped.

The following week, news about the destruction of one of the demonic sect branches spread through the Sky Continent and its surroundings.

The death energy there was so thick that only cultivators of the Unification realm and above could go there.

Meanwhile, Yasenia was walking towards her quarters in the Rising Talent Academy.

Right now, she was considered an outer disciple.

The disciples were divided into outer, inner, and core disciples. Then there were the teachers, elders, and headmaster.

This was the core of the academy.

Apart from these, there were mercenary groups, merchants, and of course, some mortals in towns and cities nearby.

The currency inside the academy is credits or contribution points.

Depending on the class you attend, you will receive a different monthly allowance.

The allowances from red to violet outer disciple are 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 250, and 400 credits.

To become an inner disciple, one must advance to the Mental nourishing realm before 30 years of age. To become a core disciple, one must rise to the Unification realm before 40.

If you want to continue in the academy and become a teacher, you must be at least a Dantian transformation realm cultivator or above, although there are exceptions.

The outer disciples are separated into batches of five years old, meaning you can fight with people five years younger or older than you. Ellie, Yasenia's opponent, was a 23-year-old girl four years older than Yasenia.

Of course, one could challenge someone ten years older than yourself, but winning that kind of battle usually is very difficult.

Yasenia reached her sleeping quarters. It was a house with three sleeping rooms, one kitchen, one personal bathroom, one shared one, and a living room. It also had a nice backyard with some herbs planted.

Simple and cozy.

She was expectant to know her roommates!

Yasenia started to plan her days, 'I lack the talent for alchemy, formations, or blacksmithing… I should approach people from these branches and befriend them. I hope some of my roommates are studying this….'

Yasenia remembered the people of the arena, 'Well, first, let's hope they aren't like those discriminatory people. Most of the people I have met are good, though.' 

While waiting in the living room, she heard the front door opening. Yasenia looked towards the door that was carefully being opened and couldn't help but smile in amusement. 'She is like a small animal. How cute. '

What entered the house was a wingless little angel!

She was a petite girl with a height of 155 centimeters but a contradicting body with big breasts, a slim waist, and a curvy yet athletic little butt.

She had a head full of silky Golden hair, almost reaching behind her knees. Her irises had a beautiful and soft sky-blue color. Her eyes were big and slightly moist, resulting in a tender, innocent gaze.

Both of them stopped for a moment and looked at each other.

The parents of this girl gave her a very accurate name, Angel.

She is a rare talent in both formations and cultivation. Her personality is kind and soft, yet she secretly admires seductive tall women, wanting to be like them who usually walk around confidently, something she had never been able to do.

When Angel returned from her formation classes, she saw the lights were on.

This was extremely rare because she lived alone!

She opened the door carefully and looked inside only to see the most beautiful and sexiest woman she had ever seen.

When she was a little dazed at the door, she saw that woman stand up, and her impressive height and voluptuous body made her blood go to her head.

Yasenia moved towards her, her sashaying hips and lazily swishing tail accompanying her tall frame.

Looking highly seductive while wearing her [Blood flower spirit] cultivation robes.

The dragoness stopped before the dazed and red-faced Angel. Then, she looked down and used one hand to secure her hair behind her ear while smiling. "I'm Yasenia, your new roommate."

Yasenia winked and continued. "I'm fortunate to have such a cute girl like you as my new roommate. What is your name?"

"I-I'm Angel! I, uh, me…." Angel's face exploded in red, and her legs almost softened as she felt weak.

The cute girl looked down, utterly nervous and her heart pounding. 'Why is my stuttering appearing now!? I need to present myself to the beautiful big sister!'

She felt a warm palm caressing her head softly when she got so nervous that tears were about to fall.

Then, Angel heard a slight chuckle followed by a calming and gentle voice. "Don't be nervous, let us go inside, drink some water, and when you relax, let us speak in the living room. We will be together from now on, so we don't need to rush our presentations."

Then Angel felt something warm and soft wrapping around her hand and pulled her with Yasenia towards the sofa in the living room. Looking at her hand, she saw the golden tail softly and gently coiling around her arm and dragging her along.

She couldn't help but caress it with her other hand and felt it twitch.

She found it amusing and was about to continue caressing it, but a finger flicked her forehead gently. "If you are going to caress it, ask me first. The tail in this soft state is a little sensitive."

Then Yasenia uncoiled it and went to get two glasses of water.

Angel dazedly sat on the sofa, and a faint sweet floral scent tingled her senses. 'What is this fragrance? Maybe she uses perfume like mortals?'

Yasenia returned and saw the little girl sniffing the air softly with her little nose. She stepped a bit more noisily so that she knew she was arriving. When the blonde girl turned around, her face was much better, only leaving behind a pair of red clouds on the soft and round cheeks.

Yasenia smiled and sat after placing the water before her. "Now that you relaxed, how about you tell me about yourself?"

Angel took a deep breath and answered in a silvery and pleasant voice. "I'm Angel, and I've been in this academy for one year. I go to the violet classes in the formations and cultivation branches."

Yasenia was surprised. This little girl was a genius cultivator.

Yasenia answered. "As I said before, my name is Yasenia. I'm a freshman. I've been placed in the violet cultivation class."

Then she added with a raised eyebrow, "Unlike you, I'm quite average in any of the professions, so I only concentrate on the cultivation path."

Angel became flustered again, thinking she offended her.
