Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

"In the past, the Empress Kui was entrusted with a critical mission. In order to break the great formation of her ancestors, she took the initiative to absorb the imperial evil energy in the formation and, with the help of her bloodline power, transformed into a quasi-emperor and became the demon body of the drought demon. Only then was she able to break the great formation that covered the Yanhuang army."

"But she herself also fell into a trance because of it."

"The Drought Demon is actually a quasi-emperor?" Qin Tian was astonished.

The man in black robes said, "According to the records of our ancestors, it was only the physical body that reached that level."

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Tian realized that this was normal.

The ancient sages who were renowned throughout the world were merely common soldiers on this land, while those who fought their way to fame in the war of emperors and were thus remembered in ancient history and mythology were certainly no ordinary figures.

Each of them, if not possessing imperial potential, at least had the prospect of becoming a near-emperor. Many of those who left their mark in ancient history later reached the stage of near-enlightenment.

Moreover, the drought demon not only left its mark in ancient history, but also had the nickname of the emperor's daughter!

He was the true son of the Yellow Emperor, with a status equivalent to that of Princess Ji, a being of imperial rank.

With her talent, it's not surprising that her physical body broke through to the Quasi-Emperor level.

However, the path of the Empress Ba was too extreme. When she used the substance of Emperor Sha to break through, her primordial spirit could not withstand the backlash.

That malevolent imperial body ultimately caused the original imperial daughter to fall into the form of a drought demon.

As soon as the drought demon comes out, the red ground will be thousands of miles away.

This caused further damage to the already declining world.

Out of necessity, the Yellow Emperor sealed the daughter of the Emperor Ba in this place.

Qin Tian asked with a strange expression, "So... you want to awaken the ferocity within the drought demon, causing the Empress Kui to completely degenerate into a drought demon? To take revenge on the Yellow Emperor?"

"That's only one aspect; the most crucial thing is to liberate the Emperor's body, which is suppressed by the drought demon." The man in black robes spoke freely.

"An Emperor's Body?!" Qin Tian exclaimed in surprise.

The word "Emperor" should not be used lightly. In this world, there are great karmic consequences. Ordinary people can use it without any consequences.

However, once one enters the path of cultivation, one's connection with heaven and earth is established, and if one uses the name of an emperor, one will naturally be entangled in great karmic consequences.

Without a certain amount of luck and qualifications, one cannot bear such a title.

The man in black robes nodded: "That's right. Our ancestor's imperial body was suppressed by the drought demon. If we can make the drought demon break free from its seal, then the part of our ancestor's imperial body that it suppressed can also be freed."

"Thousands of years? Chi You is still alive?" Qin Tian asked in surprise, then his expression changed to one of realization.

"That's right. Chi You was able to suppress Ji Xuanyuan, who was transformed from the Void Emperor, in the early stages. He is definitely not a simple person."

"The name Jiuli also exists in Beidou!" Qin Tian said thoughtfully.

"Is the corpse of the Nine Li Emperor sentient?!"

"The Big Dipper Buries the Emperor Star? Heh, the ancient primordial star is the real Burial Emperor Star."

One can imagine the despair of the last group of cultivators on the ancient star thousands of years ago.

Such extremely rare beings as the Emperor's Corpse with Spiritual Ability appeared frequently in that era, with several appearing in succession.

They almost appeared in groups.

"Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, Da You, Lao Tzu, Buddha... Hmm, that Yu the Great is also not right. There is also a dynasty in the Big Dipper called Shenzhou, which also plays with cauldrons." Qin Tian counted on his fingers, his expression becoming more and more strange as he counted.

"Tsk tsk, I really feel hopeless for them!" Qin Tian sighed. They've almost got enough for two mahjong tables.

This group of emperor corpses, possessing spiritual power, weren't playing mahjong; they were beating up the prodigies of the primordial world.

That golden age, teeming with heroes, was utterly defeated and rendered powerless.

Having just begun his cultivation journey and stepped onto the path of sainthood, he encountered the pinnacle of cultivation: the body of an unparalleled emperor.

How can it be described with just one word "miserable"?

No matter how profound their supernatural powers or how high their combat strength, they are all helpless against the body of an emperor.

Even if you try a different approach, attacking the primordial spirit won't help.

Because the blood and qi in the crown of the emperor's body circulate autonomously, protecting the celestial platform, no attack from any primordial spirit can surpass the blood and qi that belong to the emperor.

LOL, they can't even scratch them.

No matter how many wonderful methods they may use, I will remain unmoved!

Ultimately, those prodigies could only become stepping stones for the Emperor Corpse Spirit Masters, or become one of their generals.

Qin Tian walked up to the black and white little dumpling and broke off a piece of spiritual bamboo from the Azure Emperor's Small World. This was a rare materialized spiritual material.

The little black and white ball of fluff, which had been crying, was suddenly unable to look away, and its grimacing expression turned into one of honesty and gentleness.

"Waaah!" The little black and white dumpling hugged Qin Tian's trouser leg and cried, while its hands and mouth continued to eat heartily.

"A beast that eats iron!"

"I wonder what Chi You would think if he saw you!" Qin Tian looked at the black and white little dumpling with a complicated expression.

The black and white little dumpling had not yet refined its horizontal bone, but Qin Tian could sense its mental fluctuations through his divine sense.

The Iron-Eating Beast clung tightly to Qin Tian's leg, and the mental fluctuations surging in its mind clearly conveyed the message: Meal ticket, Meal ticket master, master!

"Fine, then you can come with me." Qin Tian cut the chains binding the Iron-Eating Beast from its neck.

After all, who can resist a whining, iron-eating beast?

"Consider it a gift for the little girl!"

Qin Tian's move immediately attracted the attention of the man in black robes.

"What are you doing!" The sound of breaking chains reached everyone's ears, and the old woman at the head of the group shouted sternly.

Unbeknownst to them, a stranger had appeared in the crowd. Several people near Qin Tian broke out in a cold sweat and jumped back in alarm.

"How did you get here? Didn't we come together?" asked the man in black who had been bewitched by Qin Tian.

“He’s been bewitched!” the old woman exclaimed.

The old woman looked at Qin Tian and said coldly, "Boy, put down the spirit beast in your hand, and I may spare your life!"

"I'm taking him away today, let's see who can stop me!" Qin Tian picked up the little black and white bundle, his tone calm yet firm.

Qin Tian glanced at the old woman, and a ray of his gaze shot out as sword energy.

Although the old woman was old, she was exceptionally agile. She hurriedly raised her cane, and her eyes met the snake staff, sparking a dazzling display of light and sound.

"Oh, an interesting weapon!" Qin Tian was somewhat surprised, as he couldn't discern the exact origin of the snake staff.

It appears ordinary, yet it possesses a profound Daoist charm, with a mysterious array within it obstructing Qin Tian's vision.

"Great Goddess of Drought, please grant your followers strength!"

Seeing that she was no match for Qin Tian, ​​the old woman immediately raised her snake-shaped cane high, chanting incantations. A strange red light shone from her snake eyes, connecting her with the great being within the stone statue.

The next moment, the drought demon statue lit up with a red light, and its brilliant and blazing divine power descended upon Zhuolu once again.

It was as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood had descended, and the temperature suddenly rose by 100 degrees Celsius.

Streams of divine power surged into the cane, and with the help of the magic array imprinted within, they empowered the old woman, making her aura surge immensely.

"Interesting!" Qin Tian's previously nonchalant expression changed. Even the strongest among them was just a powerful expert.

It was pure luck that they managed to block a sliver of his gaze; if Qin Tian were to actually make a move, he could kill them with a single slap.

However, Qin Tian never expected that this group of black-robed men could actually draw upon a trace of the drought demon's divine power, which made Qin Tian look forward to it.

Nothing associated with the character "帝" (emperor) is simple.

"As expected of an ancient star, even though it has declined for a time, its foundation is still incredibly profound." Qin Tian sighed with admiration.

This method is truly ingenious.

"By praying and relying on the power of others, I remember this method is called 'shamanism' or something like that."

Qin Tian opened his double pupils and watched all of this with great interest.

From his perspective, layers of illusory images appeared above the old woman's five secret realms, and an incomparably vast and majestic sky overlapped with her secret realms, granting her boundless power.

Her hunched body straightened up again, her weathered face became beautiful, and vast primordial energy flowed into her five secret realms through the heavens.

It directly restored her to a youthful appearance.

She transformed from an old European into a stunning beauty.

"This feels so good!" The beautiful woman smiled.

"By using the prayer array, sacrificing oneself, one can bear the great power of a high-level cultivator." Qin Tian looked at the beautiful woman: "to obtain power that surpasses one's own limits."

"interesting!"

"Under the power of the gods, you are doomed!" The beautiful woman stared intently at Qin Tian, ​​gripping her snake staff tightly. She was not like an ordinary person, but rather like a god descending to earth.

Her words were like a judgment, like the truth, and even influenced the rules of heaven and earth.

The already parched land cracked again in an instant.

At this moment, she was no longer herself, but a drought demon!

"No, that's not accurate. It should be a trace of the drought demon's will descending," Qin Tian ignored her words, his eyes flashing with five-colored immortal light as he continued to analyze this witchcraft.

"The side effects are also obvious, namely, it is gradually approaching the level of a drought demon."

"First comes the Great Dao, then the physical body, and finally the primordial spirit..."

"Until they become completely part of the drought demon."

"It's even more oppressive than the shackles and constraints imposed on the imperial prince."

Qin Tian wasn't surprised; in the blink of an eye, a powerful being had broken through numerous barriers and gained the strength of a Saint King.

With such a powerful increase, if there were no side effects, the ancient primordial star would have already ruled the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Youngster, turn to ashes under the mighty power of the Drought Demon God!" The old woman, empowered by the Drought Demon God, spoke arrogantly, her tone carrying a hint of murderous intent.

"Boom!"

Crimson divine flames swept across the heavens and earth, and in an instant, everything in the universe seemed to be reduced to ashes and burned away.

Faced with this world-destroying fire, Qin Tian remained completely calm, merely chuckling, "Who wins and who loses will only be known after the fight!"

Chapter 272 The Empress's Daughter, the Quasi-Emperor's Power

Qin Tian took a deep breath, and the Supreme Blade severed all disharmony. The five secret realms resonated instantly, ascending to the Divine Forbidden Domain.

Clusters of dazzling divine light burst forth from his body, unleashing his vast potential and transcending several stages to reach the level of a Saint King.

At this moment, he possessed an invincible confidence. Divine protection enveloped him, and with every move he made, a vast aura filled the heavens and earth, his divine might as imprisoned and as boundless as the sea.

Qin Tian covered one hand with five-colored immortal light—blue, red, black, white, and yellow—all five colors emanating together, creating a dazzling and brilliant spectacle, like a shimmering flame, encompassing the entire sky. Countless runes flickered in and out of existence, suppressing this ball of demonic fire.

Qin Tian frowned, feeling the stinging pain in his palm; he had been burned!

"Is this the power of the drought demon?" Qin Tian wondered, opening his double pupils.

Through the drought demon statue, he saw that inside was a divine source, and a living being was sealed inside.

The divine source is surrounded by two kinds of imperial seals, which is the root cause of the drought demon's inability to break free on its own.

Qin Tian analyzed the two imperial formations, understanding their meaning: "The Yellow Emperor sealed his daughter Kui here, intending to use the power of Chi You within the seal to slowly wear down the malevolent energy within the body of his imperial daughter Ba Zhun with his own imperial blood and qi."

"The Empress has returned, still young, and has the potential to challenge the path of the Emperor."

"Unfortunately, this arrangement was used by the Chi You lineage in an attempt to ignite the ferocity of the drought demon through a blood sacrifice, and to completely transform the Empress Drought Demon into the Zombie King Drought Demon."

Qin Tian muttered, "The Yellow Emperor is really too unreliable."

I wonder if they could seal this secret place more securely!

Qin Tian felt he could hardly look directly at this former Void Emperor.

History and mythology intertwine. The Yellow Emperor had a daughter named Ba, and the stories of him riding a dragon to ascend to heaven and having three thousand women with him are probably true.

"Yes, they must have been corrupted by Shennong, who was actually Emperor Hengyu," Qin Tian said regretfully.

"Aqiu!"

"Aqiu!"

"Who's talking about me?" Shennong, who was watching a short drama in Hangu Pass, suddenly sneezed twice.

"Am I Lao Tzu or Buddha?"
