Chapter 237: The Arrival of the Void Empress
The twin eyes staring from the rift in space were like world-ending vortexes, swirling with madness and wrath.
Yet, this wrath was not aimed at Qin Xian directly.
The Overlord of Slaughter—the true ruler of the Third Sovereign Court—was eternally consumed by fury.
His rage was not focused, not personal; it was an ever-burning desire to drown all creation in destruction. Even within the Void itself, the Third Court was infamous for its chaos and its utter lack of reason.
Those immense blood-red eyes fixed themselves upon Qin Xian. As for Liza’s mangled corpse lying beside him—it wasn’t even acknowledged.
To the Overlord of Slaughter, Liza was simply a failure.
A weakling, and weakness was beneath his notice…Even if it bore his blood.
“Void Overlord…”
The will of the Overlord surged forth. The Void within a radius of ten thousand miles erupted into flame.
The skies bled. Crimson fire and madness swallowed the world, as if this place had become a twisted extension of his Palace of Endless Slaughter.
Though the true Third Sovereign Court lay across endless light-years, the Overlord’s divine will crossed the chasm in an instant.
With his descent, even the Void Frontline’s early warning systems were sent into chaos. Across all major military districts, detection instruments overloaded and exploded—power levels far beyond measurable scale.
Panic rippled through every command center. All forces were immediately placed under Level One Combat Alert.
Meanwhile, Void creatures across the realm fell under the Overlord’s influence, their minds overwhelmed by berserk excitement.
Like a flood, they charged toward the frontlines—triggering bloody clashes that engulfed the region.
Such was the terror of a Void Overlord’s presence.
His will alone could incite planetary war.
Had it been anyone else standing under his gaze, they would’ve long since gone mad. Only Legendary-class powerhouses could even hope to resist such spiritual assault.
But Qin Xian remained still.
Unmoved.
His expression was calm, even curious. He peered into the maddened depths of the Overlord’s will, analyzing the fury within.
There was no reverence in his eyes. No fear.
Why would there be? He too was a Void Overlord.
The Overlord’s pressure could not touch him.
“Liza was nothing but a failure. His death is of no consequence.” The voice echoed like thunder, deep and metallic, rolling through layers of chaos. Unlike the madness of his will, the Overlord’s speech was calm, almost cold.
“Still, he bore my blood. He was a prince of the Third Sovereign Court. You killed him. Are you… challenging the dignity of my Court?”
Qin Xian raised a brow. Then smirked—mocking, unbothered.
“He offended me. Tell me, Overlord of Slaughter—was the Third Sovereign Court trying to challenge me?” He didn’t flinch in the face of divine fury instead he fired back.
A beat of silence followed. For a moment, the massive eyes paused, as if stunned.
In the Overlord’s countless eons of existence, no one—not even his fellow Void Overlords—had dared to speak to him like this.
He was infamous for his madness, for his endless bloodlust. Even among the Void’s great powers, he would not hesitate to fight to the death.
“You may be a Void Overlord…But you’re still young. Don’t test what little patience I have left.” His colossal eyes ignited, the flames in them erupting as if to burn the Void itself.
Those who knew the Third Court well… understood this was the prelude to his wrath.
But just as fire rose…
Cold descended.
Qin Xian’s eyes glimmered with blue flame as his bloodline surged.
The Aura of Eternal Abyss spread around him—chilling, absolute.
In an instant, the blazing domain of the Overlord began to freeze.
“Death…?” Before the Overlord could react further, multiple colossal figures emerged from the depths of space.
Then came a voice.
A woman’s voice. Cold as the end of time, “Slaughter… are you provoking my child?
Are you provoking me?”
A tidal wave of pure death aura swept outward. Unlike Qin Xian’s earlier deathly chill, this new wave froze the entire Void itself.
It traveled through space, stretching across millions of miles, freezing and corroding all it touched. Even the Third Sovereign Court itself began to freeze at its edge.
And then—she appeared.
An impossibly beautiful figure descended.
Her form was graceful and elegant, her features hauntingly exquisite. Her skin was tinted in an ethereal ashen violet, and instead of marring her beauty, it lent her an otherworldly, twisted allure.
Her presence distorted space itself. The Void twisted around her, forming embryonic black holes in her wake.
The universe seemed to fall silent.
The stars themselves were retreating.
Void creatures in her path were instantly frozen, turned into crystalline statues—soul-fossils, trapped forever.
She was none other than the most ancient and feared terror within the Void—
The Void Empress.
The Queen of Eternal Abyss.
Behind her stood a legion of towering beings, each one exuding power equivalent to a Void Lord.
“The Void Empress…” Even the mad flame in the Overlord of Slaughter’s eyes dimmed. For the first time, his expression showed hesitation.
He stared deeply at Qin Xian, at the deathly stillness coiling around him—the same aura as hers.
Suddenly, he understood.
“So you’re her child…The heir of the First Sovereign Court…” Of course, the Overlord of Slaughter had heard rumors of the Empress having a child.
What he hadn’t expected…
Was that her only heir…
Would also be a Void Overlord.
