Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

And the scrutinizing look that naturally emerged in that instant made the other cultivators outside the Ancestral Cave of the Overlord Body Ancestral Star, who were unaware of what was going on, feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

"She...she's looking over here! She's spotted us!"

"The current emperor is terrifying! Even from this distance, a single glance from him is enough to make our souls tremble!"

"She's disappeared... Will she come back? What does she want?"

Panic was spreading throughout the ancestral planet of the Overlord.

Even those at the level of Saint Kings and Great Saints felt uneasy.

The atmosphere inside the ancestral cave was extremely heavy.

"She's warning..."

The ancestor Xuanzu spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant.

"Let us not act rashly, nor assume that she is unaware of certain things."

"Too deceiving!"

The Demon God's Overlord Body erupted in fury, its purple blood surging around it, causing the ancestral cave to rumble.

"Does she really think that my Overlord Body lineage is easy to bully?!"

They saw far more than those outside, and under the Empress's glance, she seemed to have parted her lips slightly, uttering a few silent words.

As if to say:

"Come out, or you'll die!"

"calm!"

The Overlord Ancestor roared, his turbid purple eyes fixed on Xuan Gang:

"Do you want to go out now and start a war with her? In our current state, going out would be suicide!"

Even if we go all out, the chances of winning are slim!

Do you want the lineage of the Overlord Body to end in our hands?!

Xuan Gang's face flushed red, and his fists clenched so tightly within his immortal energy that they cracked.

But in the end, he forced himself to suppress his anger and slumped back down.

How could he not know that what Xuanzu said was true?

The Overlord lineage has always been powerful, and has never suffered such humiliation before.

In a one-against-four situation, amidst an invisible standoff, he was "warned" by the other side across the starry sky, yet he could only cower on his ancestral planet, daring not to speak out in anger.

"So what should we do?"

The other middle-aged, powerful figure remained relatively calm and asked.

"Wait until she leaves..."

The ancestor Xuanzu closed his eyes, his voice filled with weariness and helplessness:

"As long as she's not coming for us, and as long as we haven't provoked her,

As an emperor, she should have the composure to act against an ancient star of life without cause.

After all, the destruction of the ancestral star of the indestructible golden body occurred so long ago that the evidence had long been lost, and she couldn't find anything.

As long as we behave ourselves, she won't easily cause trouble if she can't find a pretext..."

"But Ancestor, your lifespan is limited..."

One of them looked at Xuanzu, a hint of worry in his eyes.

The other party was the oldest among the four, and his vital energy was the most severely depleted. Since sealing himself off, he was nearing the end of his life.

If I don't take supplements soon, I'm afraid I won't last much longer.

Xuanzu naturally understood what he meant.

If he wanted to live, he only had two paths, but those two paths were no longer available.

"To be born into this world is to die... So be it..."

Xuanzu opened his eyes, a hint of struggle flashing in his purple pupils.

But in the end, it turned into a resolute calm.

"My lineage of the Overlord has been conquering the stars and suppressing great enemies since ancient times. Although we have many schemes, we have never actively slaughtered innocent lives to prolong our own existence..."

He looked at the other three.

"This is a matter of principle, and it should also be the bottom line. This is the foundation upon which our clan stands, and it is also the basis of our destiny."

Once that step is taken, it means cutting oneself off from the universe, becoming like those ancient supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life, and one day facing utter destruction...

Since this is impossible, then I shall simply sit here and die…

"Ancestor Xuanzu?!"

The other three were moved.

They knew that what Xuanzu said was true.

Although the Overlord Body lineage is domineering, conquering all sides and making countless enemies, it also possesses cunning and treacherous tricks.

However, unlike some dark sovereigns, he did not directly launch a dark upheaval to prolong his life and slaughter all living beings in the universe.

This is the measure they adhere to, although the lower limit is indeed quite low...

No need for further explanation.

Xuanzu waved his hand, interrupting them.

"My mind is made up..."

He slowly rose to his feet, though his body was hunched and his energy was waning.

But at this moment, an aura of inviolability and power rose up.

He walked to the center of the ancestral cave, where there was an ancient stone platform, on which was enshrined the ancient ancestral artifact of the Overlord Body lineage.

A broken purple spear, and several Blood God Stones radiating terrifying energy.

Xuanzu stretched out his finger and traced a line on the pulse of his left wrist.

…………

Chapter 309 Empress: Master, why are you avoiding me? (6K-word chapter, please vote! Please subscribe!)

click... click...

The immortal source cracked open, and the seal was broken. However, perhaps due to apprehension, the Emperor-level aura remained confined within the ancestral cave.

laugh……

At this moment, following the movements of the Overlord Ancestor,

A stream of dark gold-tinged purple blood shot out, but instead of landing, it condensed in mid-air.

It then transformed into a fist-sized, crystal-clear true blood that exuded boundless domineering blood energy and Dao principles!

boom……

The moment this ball of true blood appeared, the entire ancestral cave trembled, as if an unparalleled overlord was being revived!

Inevitably, wisps of Emperor-level aura began to emanate from outside the cave, causing a stir among cultivators throughout the entire ancestral star.

Those people were impressed but didn't understand. For a moment, even the Empress, who was in the ruins of the ancestral star of the indestructible golden body not far away, couldn't help but straighten her back a bit and felt a little more confident.

However, compared to them, the other three powerful beings who were their "ancestors" in the cave were even more silent at this moment.

The three could sense that the true blood contained the last essence of the Xuan Ancestor, as well as his lifelong understanding of the Great Dao!

By forcing out this primordial blood, the opponent, whose lifespan was about to end, was brought to its premature end, with no chance of recovery!

"It's alright."

Xuanzu's face paled visibly, and his body became even more hunched.

But his eyes were unusually calm, even carrying a hint of relief:

"My lifespan is already coming to an end. Rather than sitting idly waiting for death, I would rather do my last bit of strength for the Hegemon Body lineage..."

He forced out this primordial blood not only to leave a final legacy for the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, but also to "make a statement".

So that the great emperor of the time could see it,

The Ancestral Star of Hegemony has no intention of being its enemy, nor does it have any thought of launching a dark upheaval!

He sacrificed himself to dispel any doubts the emperor might have, thus securing peace for the future of the Hegemon Ancestral Star!

This was the final choice made by the oldest Great Master Body cultivator in the area at the end of his life, after much deliberation.

This blood is left to future generations.

It can help those with potential to break through barriers and transform themselves, and it can also nurture ancestral artifacts, adding to their depth and heritage…

Xuanzu's voice grew softer and softer, and his breath rapidly weakened.

"After I leave, you must know that there are some things you can do and some things you cannot do..."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The Overlord Ancestor took one last look at the ancestral cave.

He glanced once more at the three younger generations who had "accompanied" him through countless years in the cave, a complex mix of emotions and regret flashing in his eyes, before slowly closing them.

Wow!

At this moment, his already withered body, like a weathered sand sculpture, began to disintegrate inch by inch, turning into specks of purple light rain that dissipated into the ancestral cave.

Only the primordial blood suspended in the air still emitted a dazzling purple light, like a purple sun.

It illuminated the dark ancestral cave, and also the silent and complex faces of the three Great Completion Hegemons.

An ancient and powerful body, never to die in battle.

Instead, he chose this way to peacefully pass away in the ancestral cave.

"Ancestor, may you rest in peace..."

Finally, the three of them rose from their respective immortal sources, bowed deeply to the place where the Ancestor had vanished, and remained silent for a long time.

An atmosphere of sorrow and solemnity permeated the ancestral cave.

shuh...

At this moment, the Empress, who had already moved away from the ruins of the Immortal Golden Body Ancestral Star, completely withdrew her gaze and walked to the next place.

……

The year 1420 of the Devouring Heaven Calendar.

Since the fall of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, the Empress's ethereal figure in a black dress has been drifting aimlessly through the universe, searching for who knows how many years.

From one ancient star to another, from one star system to another.

Wherever he went, he stirred up a sense of panic and unease among the locals.

She traversed countless corners where traces and clues of that person might remain, retracing countless moments from various places.

However, the harvest was always meager.

It was as if that person had truly vanished from this world completely after that chaotic battle, and could not even be found in the long river of time.

However, the backlash from prolonged time travel becomes increasingly apparent.

She could feel that although her vital energy was still at its peak, it still far surpassed that of ordinary emperors.

But the time spent at the peak in the future is slowly being eroded away by the backlash.

Not only that, but after relentlessly using her secret technique to rewind time for so long, a noticeable weariness has occasionally crept into the brows beneath her mask.

Under the ghost mask,

Those lonely eyes, having learned of countless ancient secrets, seemed even more profound, as if they contained endless vicissitudes.
