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

After several attempts, no one dared to set foot there again.

The name of Chixia River as a "forbidden area" has been fully confirmed.

To this day, the rumors about "miracle sites" have become increasingly fantastical, even attracting the attention of some ancient traditions deep within the starry sky.

However, until someone has ascertained whether the Crimson Cloud River has become the private domain of that great emperor, these lineages that have continued for countless years will not necessarily venture there rashly.

……

this day,

After sitting in silence for more than half a year, the Empress slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, hidden behind the mask, were as still as a deep well.

She reached out her hand, and a wisp of dark light gathered again at her pale fingertips, gently touching the location of the invisible cocoon.

Through subtle sensations, she could sense that the vitality within the cocoon was growing ever stronger, and the aura of Nirvana was becoming increasingly active and intense, as if it might break free from the cocoon at any moment.

But, it's still a little short.

Nirvana is not yet fully complete; those trapped in the cocoon remain in a daze.

Of course, she didn't know if there was truly not a single moment of clarity in that state of confusion.

"almost……"

The Empress withdrew her hand and muttered to herself.

That day, she did not continue to sit and wait idly.

Stillness breeds restlessness.

Or rather, she needs to make some special preparations.

After all, given the turmoil of the past, the fact that the opponent was able to move away even when surrounded by supreme beings was truly unbelievable.

rustle……

She stood up and took one last look at the invisible cocoon, as if she wanted to imprint that place deep in her heart.

Then, she turned around, took a step, and disappeared into the abyss.

wow...

next moment,

A proud, ethereal figure appeared in the sky above the Crimson Cloud River.

That black dress and that unique ghost-face mask, along with a burst of imperial power, once again came into the sight of the heroes inside and outside the Big Dipper.

She made no attempt to conceal her presence or suppress her aura, as if indirectly confirming that this place had become a forbidden zone, thus preventing any outside "noise" from entering in the future.

"It's...it's the Devouring Heaven Emperor! She really is still in the Crimson Cloud River!"

"It's been over a year! Has she been in there the whole time? What has she been doing...?"

"What could be the reason that would make someone like her stay inside for so long?"

"..."

"But what brings her out this time? Could someone else be in trouble again?"

"..."

The reappearance of a ruthless figure in the world has caused a global uproar.

Countless hearts clenched, their gazes fixed on the Crimson Cloud River, on that solitary figure standing proudly against the sky.

There's no way around it; a person's name is like a tree's shadow.

With precedents set by forces and cultivators such as the Feathered Divine Dynasty, the Demon Lord of Lost Day Island, and the Ancestor of Tianxuan, who can rest easy?

Throughout history, although only one ancient emperor or great ruler has appeared in each generation, over countless years, their total number has not been small.

But if we're talking about being capricious, perhaps the current ruler is the one who truly deserves the title.

however,

The Empress ignored all the prying and gossip.

She stood in the void, her gaze slowly shifting.

Ultimately, the focus shifted to a single point in the Big Dipper, a place that inspires fear and awe in the world.

One of the forbidden zones for life, the Immortal Mausoleum.

It was a strangely shaped cemetery, shrouded in deathly aura and ancient divine light year-round. Legend had it that immortals were buried there, and it was also the resting place of ancient supreme beings, forbidden to all spirits.

"What...what does she want to do?"

"She's looking at the Immortal Tomb? Could it be..."

Suddenly, a chilling thought surfaced in the minds of all the cultivators who witnessed this scene.

Before they could think it through, the Empress had already made her move.

clatter……

With one step, the world turned upside down, and mountains and rivers shifted.

With just one step, she traveled from the Crimson Cloud River to the outside of the Immortal Mausoleum.

The majestic mausoleum is faintly visible amidst the deathly atmosphere, with ancient stone tablets standing in rows, exuding an aura of vicissitude and death.

It was eerily quiet here, as if time itself had frozen.

The Empress stood quietly outside the Immortal Mausoleum, her gaze calmly fixed on the depths of the forbidden zone, as if observing, or perhaps... waiting for something.

boom!

Upon seeing this scene, the entire BeiDou system, and even many other entities outside the region who were also paying attention to BeiDou at that moment, instantly erupted in uproar!

"She has truly descended upon the Immortal Mausoleum!!"

"My God! What is she planning to do? Is she going to attack the forbidden zone?!"

"This...this is going to cause a huge uproar! A great emperor of our time is blocking the entrance to the forbidden zone?"

"Quickly! Get away from the Eastern Wilderness! No, get away from the Big Dipper! Once the Imperial War breaks out, the entire ancient star could be sunk!"

"If things go wrong today, there could be another uproar..."

"..."

In an instant, panic spread like a plague.

The vast majority of cultivators, no matter where they were in the Big Dipper, felt a chill run down their spines and their primordial spirits tremble.

The presence of the great emperor of our time in the forbidden zone is a momentous event worthy of being recorded in ancient history!

The last time something like this happened was hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even further back in the ancient times!

boom……

As the Empress descended upon the Immortal Mausoleum, not only this forbidden zone of life, but also the other major forbidden zones of the Big Dipper, trembled at that moment.

Primordial Ancient Mine, Reincarnation Sea, Divine Ruins, Heaven, Undying Mountain...

One after another, cold divine thoughts that had been dormant for countless ages, like prehistoric beasts awakened, quietly stirred and were projected across the endless void to the outside of the Immortal Tomb, landing on the figure in the black dress.

Surprise, suspicion, solemnity, apprehension, murderous intent...

Various complex gazes were cast upon them, flowing through the hearts of all the venerable ones.

At this very moment, inside the Immortal Tomb,

The six ancient supreme beings, including the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Immortal Mother, were awakened and their thoughts were stirred. An invisible pressure was brewing and intertwining deep within the forbidden zone.

"She's here."

"Blocking the doorway...what's your intention?"

"Have you come to investigate the source of the past turmoil? Are you intending to settle scores with Changsheng? Are you testing our attitude? Or... do you have other motives?"

"..."

"Arrogant! Do you really think that after a thousand years of cultivation, as the Great Emperor of this era, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Heart Mark, you can disregard the majesty of the forbidden zone?"

"The Chaos Body's attainment of Dao is indeed extraordinary, but it is still flawed in its acquired nature. This place is the Immortal Mausoleum, not a place for her to run wild!"

"Gentlemen, if she dares to take a single step, join forces to keep her here!"

"Perfect! Taking his imperial blood and refining his Dao fruit might compensate for the losses we suffered from sealing ourselves away for eternity!"

"..."

At this moment, a chilling killing intent permeated the restricted area.

The many beings within the Immortal Tomb seemed to be enraged.

Even if he were the greatest emperor of his time, in this ancient era when the forbidden zone's foundation was at an unprecedented peak, would he dare to openly block the entrance to the forbidden zone like this?

This is nothing short of a provocation; it's an attempt to slap the faces of all the ancient supreme beings!

If it weren't for the considerations of their peak combat power, potential backup plans, and the losses they would face upon their emergence, some supreme beings would probably be unable to hold back and would be ready to emerge and fight.

wow...

The invisible standoff continues.

Outside the Immortal Mausoleum, the Empress stood silently, her dark gauze dress fluttering. Her eyes, hidden behind her mask, were calm and unwavering, as if what lay before her was not a forbidden zone of life that terrified all living beings, but merely an ordinary ancient site.

Within the Immortal Tomb, murderous intent lurked, chaos surged, and ancient patterns appeared and disappeared in the void, as if a world-destroying attack was about to erupt at any moment.

"..."

Outside, across the entire Five Domains of the Big Dipper, countless cultivators seemed to hold their breath in tension.

They felt as if the air in the world had solidified, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

Throughout the myriad realms, all the powerful races and great sects that were paying attention to this place were on tenterhooks.

More than a thousand years later,

A war of imperial scale, which could once again engulf the entire universe, seems to be about to erupt.

The Empress, at the heart of the storm, seemed completely oblivious.

She even turned her head slightly to glance at a certain direction deep within the Immortal Tomb, where the aura was exceptionally unique, and several inconspicuous earthen mounds could be vaguely seen.

Then, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes,

clatter……

The empress took a step forward.

With one step, he entered the Immortal Tomb!

Wow!!!

The world was shocked!

The heavens trembled!

"She...she actually went in?! The Devouring Emperor really entered the Immortal Tomb!"

"She's gone mad! Is she really going to wage war against the forbidden zone?!"

"It's over! It's really over! An imperial war is inevitable!"

An invisible panic spread both within and outside the region, reaching its peak at this moment.

Throughout the Beidou region, many cultivators began to flee in panic, leaving Beidou and heading towards the outer realms.

Some ancient sects, due to the suddenness of the events, found it difficult to relocate, even with their entire families involved. Yet, they too activated their long-dormant star arrays, preparing for the migration of their entire sect.

hum...

In the distance, the supreme divine senses within the other major forbidden zones also seemed to fluctuate violently, with an unknown killing intent almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Inside the Immortal Tomb, the energy was even more vigorous.

Several terrifying figures appeared and disappeared in the chaotic mist, their cold gazes locking onto the black-clad figure who had stepped into the forbidden area.

A great battle seems imminent!

however,

The truth is that after the Empress entered the Immortal Mausoleum, since no supreme being had emerged, a great war did not break out immediately.
