Overshadowing the Sky: Empress Proud of the World

Chapter 768 The ruthless emperor
When this catastrophe was truly over, the whole world was still in a trance.

The sudden calm and tranquility, and the turmoil and bloodshed of the past hundred years, brought such a sharp contrast that the impact was so great that it was difficult for everyone to accept it for a while.

One day, two days, three days.
One year, two years, three years.
Ten, twenty, thirty years
Thirty years had passed before people began to believe that everything might really be over.

Thirty years is enough time for a lot to happen. Even though the world is not yet ready for the arrival of a golden age, one practitioner after another begins to rebuild their homes on the broken scorched earth, and the grass and trees begin to take root and sprout again, regaining their greenness.

The skeletons of some ancient demons, who were very powerful when they were alive and have never decayed to this day, are now gradually buried by the soil, just like the past years, slowly falling into the dust of history.

No one knew where the empress went. After the battle, she never accepted any audience and disappeared before the final battlefield.

Not to become an immortal, just to wait for you to come back in this world.

This sentence became the last puzzle she left to the world.

Everyone is wondering who this peerless, majestic woman, whose life is shrouded in legend, is waiting for.

And for an empress who is so strong, stunning, and proud of the ages, who is worthy of her waiting?

Not for the sake of becoming an immortal, these four short words fully describe the proud talent of this legendary woman throughout her life. But where did she go after that battle? Why hasn't she appeared yet?
Beidou, the Fire Region, due to the disappearance of the Immortal Fire, the Nine-Layer Flame reappeared. The climate of this area is no longer as hot as before and is not suitable for survival. The monks who originally lived in Jin State returned to their hometowns and founded their own sects.

Outside the Fire Region, there are cultivators coming and going all day long, because there are rumors that someone has seen the Desolate Tower landed here, perhaps in the center of the Fire Region.

Some powerful ones even claimed that they saw half of a small phoenix perched on the top of the desolate tower. It looked like a fairy fire, but only a thin trace of it remained.

People have too many thoughts about the final battle, because everyone can feel that terrible aura. No one knows what kind of existence the empress faced. Even the Desolate Tower and the Immortal Fire were involved and suffered considerable damage.

In fact, there is still a fairy bell, but it has been completely destroyed and fell into the depths of the universe. No one knows where it is now.

In the southern region of East Wilderness, where the Changsheng family is located, Huang is still sitting cross-legged. Thirty years have made his blood and energy increasingly stronger. The blood and energy from the top of his head naturally surge out and gather into a real dragon, making a rumbling sound.

A fully accomplished holy body is a supreme being in any era, capable of protecting world peace for eternity.

Perhaps, it is just because the empress’s brilliance is too dazzling, and Huang, who should have shined in this life, seems a little overshadowed.

However, Huang did not care about this. He knew very well how terrifying the empress's opponent was. Looking at the past, present and future, she was the only one who could control the dark power without being affected.

She deserves to be the emperor!

Even so, there are still countless people coming to worship every day. After all, the empress has disappeared, but Huang is a living supreme being.

Huang was straightforward. He unfolded his supreme domain to isolate this area from the outside world. Then his eyes were like knives, sweeping across several life forbidden areas.

He knew that Changsheng Tianzun, the ancestor of the Changsheng family and one of the nine great Tianzuns, must still be alive, lurking in some life forbidden zone.

This mythical ancient celestial being who had traveled the furthest and longest in the field of immortality did not plunge into darkness, but instead found another way to immortality. The Hades Treasure was his carrier, carrying his means of attempting immortality.

The reason why Changsheng Tianzun cooperated with the darkness was perhaps just to take advantage of this chaos to collect enough blood of all living beings without having to bear the cause and effect of all living beings.

"Brother Huang!" A shout came from the air, and Jiu Ming descended from the sky and came to Huang's side.

Huang nodded, not being arrogant because he was the supreme being, and saluted Jiu Ming.

"Senior Sister, how is the Emperor?" Jiu Ming looked in the direction of Jiusheng Mountain, revealing some concern and worry, and spoke to Huang.

Huang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't see through it. It's shrouded in chaos and mist, but her imperial power has not dissipated and is very stable. She still suppresses me. I think she's fine for the time being."

Having said that, there was still a strange flash in the depths of Huang's eyes.

At this moment, all the strange laws of the world are on the empress. It would not be an easy task to completely refine them. It would be extremely dangerous.

"In this life, one emperor is enough. If you have no worries in this world, you should prepare to be sealed in the source as soon as possible. I will refine the immortal source liquid for you, and wait for you to master it in the future and fight again!" Huang spoke again. Although his voice was not loud, the fighting spirit contained in it still shocked Jiuming.

Jiu Ming nodded. Under the arrangement of the Bingmi family head, their nine holy bodies had already been prepared for this.

The century-long catastrophe is over, and a considerable number of the supreme beings sleeping in the restricted area have awakened. They are not simple beings, and they will do anything to survive.

If there were no emperor in the world, there would be no doubt that no one would be able to check and balance them, and that would probably lead to a new chaos.

In the Tianxuan Holy Land, there is an endless stream of cultivators all day long. Disciples constantly ride the divine rainbow to fly far away. The cultivators who come and go all look at them with admiration, wishing they could join them.

Similar to this are the Zifu Holy Land, Daoyi Holy Land, Yaoguang Holy Land, etc. When the three behemoths in the world disappeared, all the sects ushered in an unprecedented period of vigorous development.

A cave named Lingxu appeared in the area where Xuanxiao Peak was originally located.

Although it is not as good as the real holy land heritage, there are some rumors that behind this cave, there is a huge holy land supporting and supporting it.

If there are any immortal seedlings, they might be picked up directly by the holy land and trained as core disciples.

The headmaster of Lingxu Dongtian is a female saint named Zhou Xi.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed, and the empress still did not appear. People even began to speculate that she was seriously injured in the final battle and might die.

However, only Huang knew that Ye Nan was still fighting against the darkness, day after day, for a hundred years.

He stood up from the old place of Changsheng's family and sat cross-legged for a hundred years.

A hundred years later, Huang's eyes became increasingly profound, and he already possessed the terrifying aura of an almighty supreme being.

"Emperor!"

"A great emperor of the human race is traveling!"

Huang's trip immediately caused a sensation. Everyone was shouting and worshiping him, full of admiration and awe.

"In this life, I am not an emperor. The real achievements belong to that empress." Huang opened his mouth, his voice was like thunder, stirring the avenue and awakening the deaf.

But suddenly, his eyelids twitched heavily, and an inexplicable imperial pressure emerged. All living creatures were terrified and crawled on the ground, not daring to move.

Huang said nothing and flew into the sky. He did not reveal his true form and landed in Taixuan Gate.

"That kind of dark power will eventually make people forget some things. Even the supreme being cannot resist it." In Taixuan Sect, the head of the Bingmi family sighed softly and knew the purpose of Huang's visit.

At that moment just now, Huang suddenly found that his memory had become a little fuzzy. He could not even remember the name of the holy body that had fallen.

This is a very scary thing. The comrades with whom he had fought bloody battles in the past are now gradually fading from his memory, and eventually, it will be as if this person had never existed and is completely forgotten.

"All this should not be forgotten and cannot be forgotten!" Huang's eyes were as sharp as torches. He bid farewell to the head of the Bingmi family and left Taixuanmen.

The head of the Bingmi family smiled helplessly and shook his head. This power of forgetfulness was not only encountered by him, but also by Ye Nan.

Anyone who has been an enemy of darkness will encounter this situation. Their own memories and the memories of others will be affected by a mysterious aura, becoming increasingly blurred until they are forgotten.

The more powerful the cultivator, the greater the impact, because the connection between them and the Dao is deeper.

In the mythological era, many emperors coexisted. Several supreme masters worked together to deduce and finally got a vague answer, which was that there were certain problems with the great way of this entire world.

To be more precise, it is their own path, the path of cultivation.

Huang arrived outside the Jiusheng Mountain and looked inside. At the bottom of the Jiusheng Mountain, a black mist was rising. Faintly, one could see the fairy gold divine chain shining and rustling, but there was no sight of that peerless figure.

He just took a step closer, and his expression changed drastically immediately. He sensed a bit of the power of time, which could directly deprive him of his years and accelerate the passage of time.

This sudden change shocked Huang, so he simply sat cross-legged outside the Nine Sacred Mountains to prevent the empress from being disturbed. If there were any changes, he could react immediately.

One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years
Three hundred years have passed, and several generations of mortals in the world have been replaced, and some weaker monks have also begun to pass away.

They all survived that turbulent period, but before they died, these monks realized that there were some things they had gradually forgotten.

A female emperor, nine holy bodies, the head of the Bingmi family. Except for some well-known powerful people, more and more details became blurred, like a painting that was being eroded bit by bit.

Three hundred years later, the empress still did not appear, and the Great Holy Body gradually faded from people's sight.

During the past three hundred years, the world has become more prosperous than ever before. The Tianduan Mountains are filled with monks every day. The forbidden zone of life is full of mystery in their eyes, and they all rush over at this moment.

After seeing those huge mountains being flattened, everyone was shocked. They had a more intuitive understanding of the empress's strength and were all deeply shocked.

Not many people go deep into the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, not because it is a barren place. Quite the contrary. As the largest sect in the world in the past, it can be said to be extremely rich. Even a piece of stone must be a treasure.

The reason why people didn't get involved was purely because they didn't dare, because Ye Nan's palm had not yet dissipated the Supreme God's Dao, and it had imprisoned the First Ancestral Dragon Vein in Zhongzhou, making it unable to revive forever and completely reduced to a dead dragon. In the cultivation world, one family and sect after another sprang up. This time, there was no Yuhua Divine Dynasty, no Xiaoyao Family, no Changsheng Family, no Taigu Ten Thousand Clans, and no dark turmoil.

The entire world is completely open to all cultivators. This is an unprecedented, vast and boundless stage!

It was not until this moment that the world truly believed that an era belonging to the human race had truly arrived!

The Holy City of the Northern Territory prospered once again and became a shining pearl in the Northern Territory.

Here, everything is going on, and perhaps an old man you bump into might be the supreme elder of a holy land, while the weirdo strolling on the other side might be a powerful being from a certain demon tribe.

Gambling on stones is still popular. One source mine after another is occupied by the major holy places, and source stones are unearthed every day. Some stones that even the source art families are unsure of will be taken out for people to gamble.

The Green Dragon Saint lived here. He actually became friends with Tu Daotian and others. He called himself the third biggest bandit and often invited them to visit that small world in heaven.

"Peace in this world is hard-won. Why don't we name our child Hengyu?" On the ancient star Ziwei, God King Jiang Ming looked back, took Xuan'er's hand, and looked into her eyes.

"Yes." Xuan'er nodded and said softly: "Hengyu, Hengyu. If there is chaos in the world again, I hope he can also protect peace for the human race."

Tens of thousands of years later, the forbidden area was in turmoil. A human emperor attained enlightenment on the ancient star Ziwei, known in history as Emperor Hengyu. He held the Sun God Furnace, went deep into the Taichu Ancient Mine, quelled the turmoil, and created another legend belonging to the human emperor.

Five hundred years, one thousand years, two thousand years
Time is still passing, and the whole world is forgetting. Some people with great achievements are no longer mentioned, and some tragic battlefields are no longer mourned.

Taixuanmen, with its 108 main peaks standing side by side, has become a powerful inheritance that is no less than the holy land, but no one knows that the head of the Bingmi family is here. Otherwise, with his prestige, he would directly make Taixuanmen the number one inheritance in the world.

Although the head of the Bingmi family was a quasi-emperor, he suffered terrible injuries. Even though Ye Nan used the True Dragon Immortality Elixir to heal him, it only prevented him from passing away. At this time, he actually looked a bit old.

Although Xiaoyao Qingzhu still looks young, there is a hint of fatigue in the depths of his eyes. He looks into the distance with the head of the Bingmi family.

"The emperor is still fighting." The head of the Bingmi family spoke and looked in the direction of the Nine Sacred Mountains.

The ancient road of trials has been reopened. Even though there is an emperor in the world, it has become the best stage for one genius after another. They went to one ancient battlefield after another, experienced the supreme way there, fought with the immortal heroes, and honed themselves.

Some people say that this is the meaning of the Great Saint Body. He does not want the world to forget that tragic life. We must always remember it, be prepared for danger in times of peace, and never slack off.

However, after two thousand years, the world's forgetfulness seems to have slowed down. The Empress, the Nine Holy Bodies and others are still remembered in everyone's mind and have not been completely forgotten.

However, there is no unified opinion about their enemies. Some say they are gods from outer space, some say they are beings in the forbidden area, and some say they are ancient demons.

The darkness seemed to have completely faded away, and even in the memory of the world, there would be no trace left.

Outside the Nine Sacred Mountains, Huang opened his eyes. Two thousand years had not left any traces on his body. Instead, his blood energy became more vigorous and was still rising.

The Great Saint Body can survive for ten thousand years, and his bloodline is strong. Two thousand years is just the beginning for him.

Huang could feel that the empress was waking up!
"boom!"

One hundred years later, there was a roar from the Nine Sacred Mountains. All living beings in the universe were horrified and felt an incomparable fluctuation of the Great Dao.

They were shocked at first, and then they all widened their eyes and saw the brilliant immortal light that cut through all worlds.

"It's the Empress!"

"After two thousand years, she finally showed up!"

Ye Nan reappeared, but her condition made everyone's heart tighten and they took a deep breath.

At this moment, Ye Nan's black hair was as white as snow and as silver as a waterfall, falling in front of her chest and behind her back.

Although she was still absolutely beautiful, with a slender and graceful figure, her white hair was still like a knife, piercing everyone's heart.

Two thousand years should be considered just the beginning for a great emperor, and the empress's condition at this moment is obviously very wrong.

"Empress."

"The most amazing emperor in history!"

All living beings, with great fear and trepidation, all bowed their heads in this direction, paying homage to the most brilliant and talented human emperor in history.

But the next second, Ye Nan did something that shocked everyone.

She ignited her soul, and then attracted the raging fairy fire, burning herself in it!
"What is the Queen doing?!"

"Could it be that she was also contaminated by that power and was forced to choose self-immolation? No way!"

"I understand. Fighting against darkness for two thousand years took too much energy even for the Empress. Otherwise, how could she have wasted so much of her supreme destiny!"

Everyone was shocked and didn't understand what it meant. Everyone had their own guesses and held their breath.

At the top of the galaxy, Ye Nan became the center of the universe. She was indeed burning herself, but not for suicide, but for rebirth!

Her white hair was flying, her forehead was glowing, and a myriad of divine chains of order were intertwined, slowly dragging out a pure white and clear immortal fetus from them.

At the same time, roars came from her forehead one after another, like roaring, and like wailing, all kinds of emotions overlapping together. If she were not the emperor, she would definitely be affected.

"Empress! Are you really going to give up on me?"

"I am also your avenue. If you kill me, you will not survive!"

"Follow me and live forever"

That was the demon fetus. At this moment, an order fairy chain also flew out and locked it tightly, but it still could not control its own changes. Sometimes it turned into the young Ye Nan, sometimes it was exactly the same as Ye Nan at this moment, and sometimes it turned into the appearance of a teenager.

But no matter what, it couldn't break free and was locked tightly in Ye Nan's body.

Two thousand years have passed, and the demon fetus has completely become the embodiment of darkness. It wants to corrode the immortal fetus and make Ye Nan fall into darkness completely.

During this process, Ye Nan was always fighting. This was not an easy thing, because just resisting that kind of power consumed all her energy, not to mention refining it.

This kind of consumption is astonishing. Even if it is an imperial destiny at the peak, it will be drained away like water. And no one else can do it without Ye Nan's unique understanding of the Dao.

Her greatest asset is naturally the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art, but this is far from enough, because the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art can only be refined, but darkness cannot be refined.

So, two thousand years later, Ye Nan finally found a way to deal with the situation with her amazing talent that amazed people of ancient and modern times. She trapped the demon fetus in her old body, transformed it into an immortal fetus, cut off the darkness, and started a new life!
The price she paid was that her three thousand strands of black hair turned into white hair, and she had wasted too much of her energy and lifespan, and she was about to reach old age in her first life.

This time, she no longer needed to maintain the balance between the immortal fetus and the demon fetus, because the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art had undergone further transformation.

My body is immortal and my Tao is everlasting. This is the long-standing meaning of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art. Ye Nan uses this as a basis and continues a new chapter, which is - the Immortal Heaven Art!
"boom!"

The immortal fetus completely transformed and turned into the new Ye Nan. The cultivation of the imperial way surged and powerfully suppressed the aura of the old body.

She was reborn, with her three thousand black hair like a waterfall, flying in the wind, her white clothes fluttering, and she stood proudly on the top of thousands of stars!

"Empress, you can't kill me! You can't kill me!" The fire of the soul was boiling, and the demon fetus was roaring. It could be seen that in the jumping flames, there was an unparalleled fairy power shining.

Because this time, Ye Nan’s purpose was not to refine the darkness, but to completely eliminate it!

The demon fetus was melting, and Ye Nan's soul fire was dimming, which was a matter of mutual annihilation, but she had already been reborn. These were all the souls in her old body, so there was no problem.

But in the eyes of the world, this scene shocked them immensely. No one would have thought that the first thing this empress did after she was born was to kill herself!

Ye Nan's old body was also shrinking and transforming. This was an supreme divine body, and its quality was comparable to fairy gold, or even exceeded it.

Finally, it turned into an ancient pottery jar with some lines imprinted on the surface, like the graceful curves of a girl, but the mouth of the jar was so deep that it seemed to be able to swallow the heavens.

Seeing this pottery jar, all creatures under the starry sky fell silent. Throughout history, has there ever been an emperor or king who would refine his body into a supreme imperial weapon?
"The Emperor has cut off the past!"

"The most ruthless person in ancient and modern times must be the Empress."

Some powerful people knew something about Ye Nan’s past practice and sighed sincerely.

"He refined the heaven and earth, refined all the kings, and finally, refined himself. This is a ruthless emperor!"

"The only ruthless emperor in the history of...

It caused a great sensation in the world, but no one actually shouted it out. After all, no one knew whether the empress would like this title. Based on her personality, it was estimated that if she slapped someone in the face, no one would be able to bear it.

However, since this day, this nameless but legendary empress has truly gained a title that will shock the world throughout the ages, that is - the ruthless emperor.
