In the central area of the Blue Pearl World, ten major continents gathered quite close. Their size was colossal in comparison to others, and their strength was so powerful that no one beyond them managed to steal their positions for several tens of thousands of years.
In one of the palaces where a Demigod resided, a Law Creator arrived and shifted through the hallways until they arrived in the throne room. Once there, the Law Creator bowed down and spoke respectfully. "Lord, we've received a communication that there is a powerful being approaching our battlefield frontier. We sent a few messengers to tell her that she can't go through, but she answered arrogantly."
The lord was a human man with long red hair and eyes. His body was alluring and attractive, having eyes that could charm a woman with just a single look. His sharp eyebrows perfectly complemented his face, and his soft facial features for a man only added to the soft charm that made one's heart palpitate.
Even with that appearance, his attitude was indifferent and cold. "What did she say?"
The Law Creator hesitated, but after a moment, he spoke up. "She said that she is going to wait for a single day for the Lord to appear. Otherwise, she will break through forcefully."
The man frowned for a moment. "Is she a young Demigoddess who thinks too highly of herself? It doesn't make sense for someone of her strength to be so reckless and hasty… Show me an image of her."
"Yes, sir." The Law Creator waved his hand and showed two images. "We took two images because she is mounting the largest dragon I've ever witnessed. So, we took an image from a distance and a close-up of her."
The two images that appeared made the man's cold eyes shine for a moment. The image from a distance only showed a gargantuan dragon that dwarfed some Moons in sheer size. With a wingspan stretching for over 1600 kilometers, just his presence would be enough to crumble mortal worlds and cause terrifying shifts.
The woman, on the other hand, was violently gorgeous with long, black, loose hair that reached below her perky butt, a figure so perfect that it gave an urge to hug her and explode, and facial features that could cause a war just to fight for her smile. The red-eyed woman stood proudly and elegantly in a royal red dress on the dragon's head.
The images could gather some of their aura and emit it, and that was something that the Demigod felt tremendously. Even when it was a cheap copy, their presence was impossible to ignore.
"... Tell me her exact location. I need to go see her."
Previously, he had dismissed her as an arrogant Demigoddess who thought too highly of herself. However, a single glance told him that this woman was too dangerous to be treated carelessly.
Just the fact that a dragon as mighty as that one was willing to become her mount spoke volumes of her strength.
With a single step, the man was enveloped in bright red flames. The flames moved forward, "burning" the distance between the location he was told and himself. With a single step, he transformed into a red beam of light and crossed billions of kilometers in just a few seconds.
When he arrived, his presence manifested as a heaven-cosmuming mass of red flames. The woman mounting the dragon looked up, her red-colored indifferent eyes swirling like two bottomless oceans of blood.
Her voice, cold like a thousand-year-old piece of ice, yet as pleasant as the soft jingle of bells, echoed around, carrying immensely powerful Death Laws. "Stop showing off and reveal yourself. You are as intimidating as a firework."
The mass of flames violently fluctuated under the woman's Death Laws. The man quickly reduced them and manifested himself, his face slightly pale but not showing any weakness. 'She actually hurt me with just her voice? Even if she is above me in cultivation level, does it make sense to overwhelm me to this degree? Is she perhaps a senior from a higher Heavenly Layer?'
After pondering for a moment, he spoke with neither an overbearing nor a humble voice. "Senior, may I know your esteemed name and what business you have in our Blue Pearl World?"
The woman spoke up, her red eyes showing no emotional fluctuation. "I am Tatyana Dravory. You can address me using the Death Empress title. My intentions are to visit your world for a while, not a permanent stay. At least, my current plans are as such. If someone bothers me too much, I might change my intentions, though."
The man pondered and nodded. He couldn't really stop the woman with his strength, so he decided to let her pass. "I am Yan Huang, the Flame Sky Emperor, ruler of the Tenth Continent. Would Senior like to stay in my palace for a while? We have exquisite pastimes that Senior would enjoy."
Tatyana shook her head. "No, I am in a hurry. Can I now enter the Blue Pearl World? I don't want to be delayed much since someone I care about might be in danger."
The man was stunned internally. 'There is someone who dares to offend this person's close one? Are they tired of living?' His face became apprehensive. 'It won't be one of my family members, right? If they used their connection to bully someone and kicked this steel plate…'
"Ahem. Senior, how about you tell me about who you are trying to find? I can help you find them quickly and efficiently."
Tatyana hummed and looked at her hand. Yan Huang noticed the Soul Pearl in her hand and was surprised again. 'Such a valuable item… She was willing to use it just to create a Two Star Ancient Treasure that tells her the status and position of someone?'
He grew increasingly apprehensive by the second. If something happened to the person recorded in that crystal, this powerful Demigoddess might go berserk in the Blue Pearl World and cause terrifying damage.
While Tatyana pondered for a second, Yan Huang sent an urgent communication to other Empresses and Emperors, telling them about this and not to offend the new guest.
"I will then ask you for your help. The [Soul Bound Jade Pearl] tells me that she is uninjured, so I am pretty sure that she is not in immediate danger. But finding her as quickly as possible is a priority."
Yan Huang nodded. "Understood. Could you please tell me what she looks like? It will help us greatly."
Tatyana waved her hand, and an illusory image of Yasenia appeared, smiling softly at Tatyana. When Yan Huang saw her, he was shocked. 'What a beautiful dragon woman!'
He had seen a myriad of beauties during his long life, but this one was not inferior to any of the top beauties he had seen. Tatyana glanced at Yan Huang and squinted at him. "She is mine, so don't get any ideas."
Yan Huang's lips twitched. 'Even if she is your disciple… Well, let's not get any ideas. I don't want to lose my life over a woman…' Glancing at Yasenia again, he sighed a bit. 'It almost feels worth it, though. Really, some women have calamitous beauties.'
Tatyana followed Yan Huang on Tian Long's head, both of them arriving at the Blue Pearl World not long after.
After Yan Huang's message, a few other Seventh Realm cultivators moved their Spiritual Senses curiously. Tatyana noticed their presence and frowned. "I am not a zoo animal. Tian Long."
Tian Long opened his massive maw and roared.
ROAR!
The Dragon Roar made space swell and exploded outward, shattering all the Spiritual Senses locked onto both of them. Right after, many Demigods clutched their hearts as they coughed a single mouthful of blood.
Yan Huang's legs almost softened at Tian Long's roar. 'Heavens, what kind of strength does this dragon have? Isn't that the aura of an Immortal-Level Progenitor King?'
Meanwhile, Tian Long snorted and spoke, his voice rumbling around with a very low baritone. "The next one who dares be so touchy with their Spiritual Sense, I'll go to their residence and flatten it."
Hearing his voice, the Seventh Realm cultivators only dared to look from a distance.
There were no more setbacks, and they quickly arrived at the Blue Pearl World. Looking around, Tatyana hummed and nodded. "Not bad energy quality. Little Treasure must be in a lower-quality area. But it shouldn't be too bad to cultivate for a while. Sky Flame Emperor, I will probably stay here for a few years."
Yan Huang's lips twitched. 'It is Flame Sky Emperor…'
Not daring to refute the woman, since some Seventh Realm cultivators had too eccentric a personality, the man nodded lightly. "I understand. What is this dragon woman's name, by the way?"
"Yasenia Dravory."
Tatyana answered simply as Tian Long flew over mountains and rivers, guided by Yan Huang. However, the Emperor noticed the detail instantly. 'Dravory…? Don't tell me… Is that girl her daughter?'
If that was the case, and also knowing that someone actually dared to put that daughter in danger, he was both stunned and feeling pity. Yan Huang lit a candle in his heart for whoever dared to offend this lord of death. 'Not even the Graveyard Emperor has a Death Law as powerful as this woman's.'
While thinking of that man, he also noticed his presence approaching. 'Ah… As expected.'
Tatyana turned to look, and soon, a half-skeletal man appeared by their side, flying together with them. "You… Who are you? Why is the breath of Death so strong in you?"
Tatyana clicked her tongue. "Has no one ever told you that it is rude to ask for someone's name without presenting yourself first?"
The half-skeleton man blinked his only good eye and nodded. "Right. This one is the Graveyard Emperor, Lord of the Sixth Continent. I came here because I sensed a Level of Death Law in Senior that I haven't seen before, even in beings from the Underworld."
Tatyana hummed and nodded. "You look quite reasonable. But I won't tell you the Level of my Death Law. Still, you probably know where the person I am searching for is."
Yan Huang and the Graveyard Emperor looked at her curiously. Tatyana commented. "Around… a month and a half ago or so. Was there a powerful Death Energy ripple in a continent? The attack should've obliterated at least half of that continent. So, someone like you should know about it."
The Graveyard Emperor actually nodded. "I do! I came here from there… Speaking of which, isn't your aura similar to the Death Energy of that location? Only, yours is much purer and concentrated."
Tatyana's red eyes shone joyfully. "Flame Emperor, change of plans. We follow the Graveyard guy to that location and explore from there. I am sure that she should be nearby."
"Graveyard guy…"
"Flame Emperor…"
Neither man knew how to react to this woman. Still, the four of them quickly moved and followed the trail.
