The results from the collision for the main parties involved were Tatyana and Mirrory being pushed back several hundred meters and the System sliding back just a few steps.
While their skills were strong, their cultivation level was pitifully weak.
As a level eight Unification Realm cultivator facing a half-step Dantian Spiritualization Realm, the matchup was similar to a mortal facing off against a Mental Nourishing Realm cultivator. In a normal situation, the mortal would be instantly killed before it knew what happened.
Of course, our seniors' Intent and personal skills greatly shaved off the distance between the System's current strength and Tatyana's and Mirrory's strength.
Moreover, while Tatyana was at the eighth level, her energy reserves were practically infinite as she drew energy from her original Dantian.
For those who had forgotten, the body she used was like a "body suit," while the soul and dantian were shared between her main body and this one by the singular entity called "Tatyana."
There were no "two" Tatyanas but one with two bodies.
The only thing Tatyana needed to do to use energy with the [Divine Lich Empress Body] was transform her extremely high level and pure energy to a usable one that wouldn't explode her current "weak" body.
In short, she had infinite energy because the energy she used was from the demigoddess-tier Dantian.
On the other hand, Mirrory still couldn't create and gather energy on her own because it would damage Angel. Angel was still too weak to summon a small part of herself, and for Mirrory to accumulate energy on her own, she needed to at least have a small part of her "body" in the "real world."
Therefore, her combat capabilities were greatly shackled.
Mirrory communicated with Tatyana in less than a fraction of a second. "Tatyana, you are the main offense. I'll support you and wait to give lethal strikes. Angel wouldn't be able to feed me enough energy to keep up for the entirety of the battle."
Tatyana's voice was cold and terrifying. "Do as you please. That thing dared to damage my little treasure so heavily, almost killing her. If I don't make its emotionless self scream in pain until its throat is hoarse and begs for the sweet release of Death, my name is not Tatyana Dravory."
Mirrory looked at Tatyana's face and felt her lips twitch. 'Even some Gods of Death have less killing intent than this monster. Just how many lives has she reaped during her lifetime? It is at least a few dozen worlds…' Then, she released a small laugh. 'If Jing'er were still here, she would've probably hunted down Tatyana since she was very righteous, considering her an evil cultivator.'
When their conversation ended, time normally ticked again. Before anything else could happen, Tatyana and Mirrory saw the System appearing in front of them with a cold and emotionless face and lifting a sword wrapped in mountain-destroying energies.
While Unification Realm cultivators had the destruction range of several cities to several mountains, high-level Dantian Spiritualization Realm cultivators could already do devastating damage to the surface of a planet.
With enough time, a peak-level Dantian Spiritualization cultivator would be able to make a habitable world uninhabitable. Of course, it depends on the world's size and other factors, like the world's level, but you get the idea of how powerful they are.
One could lay waste to mountain ranges, and the other could lay waste to continents.
And at that moment, the System had the strength of the latter.
"[Elemental Lord's Annihilation]."
The [Elemental spirit Severing Sword] descended, carrying the momentum of a meteor.
Tatyana's face was stoic as she rushed toward the System and extended her empty hand.
"[Abyssal Strikes]."
Her Death energies outstretched twisted from her hand, creating a complex and beautiful 1.2-meter-long sword.
It was a replica of her primary weapon, [Death Dragon Bone Sword].
The Death Empress swung her sword, waves of Death Energy gathering with her attack and moving to collide with the land-changing sword strike.
Mirrory frowned, feeling that Tatyana's attack was much weaker than the Systems. 'Should I help?'
However, Tatyana's red eyes flashed with white lights, and the System's expression changed for the first time. 'Fate manipulation?'
Meanwhile, Mirrory's outstretching hand stopped, and her lips arched. 'No need to help, it seems.'
Clang~!
Instead of a catastrophic collision, a melodic echo ringed across the entire Treasure Land, and Tatyana's and the System's attacks altogether canceled each other.
The System was slightly stunned, but its body did not stop even for a fraction of a second.
Then, a cacophony of metallic sounds began echoing like a Heavenly melody.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The System released a barrage of attacks that should've annihilated several mountains, yet, other than the speed of their clash. It appeared like a regular sword exchange between mortals.
Tatyana's face was emotionless as she faced attacks that were enough to make even many of the leaders of the top powers feel scared.
Her sword danced elegantly, appearing neither hurried nor overwhelming.
Her steps, moves, and strikes created ripples through the air, and her beauty was only exalted even when a death match was occurring.
What Tatyana was doing was striking the skill's core by using her [Future Sight] and destroying it before it exploded, a feat that was only possible when one side was overwhelmingly superior mastery-wise.
Only one second had gone by, even if hundreds of sword strikes had been exchanged, but the System hadn't even been able to advance a step from its initial position.
It was entirely suppressed by raw skill and combat mastery.

[Calculating Reasons for the outcome of attacks, including obscure database. One second needed.]
Tatyana's chilling voice entered the System's ears. "Hey, no need to think so hard. The reason you can't do anything is because I'm destroying the core of your pathetic skills. An immature System like yourself won't be able to reach a conclusion, and since we will spend much time together in the future, I thought of letting you know."
The System blinked without stopping its attempts and different strategies and was blocked by Tatyana's sublime sword mastery.
"[Probability of Opponent lying to affect performance, nearing 100%.]"
Tatyana sneered. "Lie? To garbage like you? That is below me, pathetic trash. [Fate Severing Strike]."
Tatyana's sword blurred and hacked three times around the System, missing its body completely.
The System was confused, but it didn't let go of its chance and slashed at Tatyana's neck.
The Death Empress's red eyes didn't even look at the sword as she lifted her weapon vertically, gathering energy and ignoring the attack.
The System's eyes glittered, thinking that the sword would land, but a dainty foot appeared above its sword and tapped it.
BANG!
The tap was gentle, but the System's eyes opened because it felt as if a mountain had struck the sword.
Not wanting to release the sword, its entire body was thrown cratering into the ground with a massive dust explosion.
The one who blocked the System's strike was a red-haired beauty.
She floated above it, looking down at the System lying on the ground indifferently.
For the first time, the System felt inferior. On an existence level, it felt that the red-haired, green-eyed gorgeous woman was a "superior" being compared to itself.
It wanted to analyze the red-haired woman, but its vision was rapidly flooded with error messages, making its brain freeze momentarily.
At least, with Tatyana, it could analyze the strength she was releasing, but with the red-haired woman, the only thing it could "see" was the four Intents swirling around her.
Everything else was an error, baffling it.
Mirrory asked. "What are you staring at? Two seconds have gone by, thing. If it weren't because we want to capture you, you would've died a hundred times over. Also, why aren't you healing your missing arm? So much for something made by the Heavens."
Tatyana answered. "Even as a System, my little treasure attack had Celestial Energy. Healing that kind of wound is not something it, or even us, can do in a few seconds."
Mirrory rolled her eyes. "It was a rhetoric question. Have you finished?"
Tatyana smiled chillingly. "A while ago, but I was curious as to how long it would stay stunned after analyzing you. Do you think it saw anything?"
Mirrory floated sideways, leaving Tatyana a way forward. "I don't care or know. Finish it off quickly. Its strength is in the Dantian Spiritualization peak, but it's false strength. A real one would've been a bit harder to defeat. Also, don't you want to go and see Yasenia's state?"
The System stood up slowly, the legs feeling heavy because the body was reaching the limits of its strain.
