The Empresses

"Hei Yue made a move? That gluttonous bitch waited longer than I thought. Looks like I underestimated her." Her eyes of red glowed and her horns grew sharper.

A demonic aura filled her room making all her servants shiver in fear and collapse on the floor.

"Empress…p-please have mercy." pleaded the servants.

The Empress snorted and waved her hand allowing everyone to breathe again.

"Leave."

Everyone left in a haste not willing to feel the wrath of the Empress anymore.

With no one left to disturb her she took out a book. Caressing the cover of the book she muttered, "I won't let anyone take you away from me."

She walked towards her desk which had several books that was similar to her own, but were ripped apart.

With a wave of her hand a black mirror cleared up and showed other women that were as equally beautiful.

"White Celestial Fox, now that the Black Devouring Spider has broken our former agreement, shouldn't we punish her?"

"Violent Ghost Empress, our former agreement still applies."

"Huh?! The Black Devouring Spider made a move before any of us. The original agreement was 'none of the empress will make a move towards Hao Yu until we all agree!' This is what we agreed on isn't it!? Those who break it will be attacked by all the other empress!"

"Violent Ghost Empress is right, we should kill her." a sharp yet monotone voice sounded out, Sword Saintess spoke.

"Sword Saintess, Ghost empress calm down and listen to White Celestial Fox." Her tone was elegant, but also had a hint of killing intent which was targeted not to sword saint nor demonic empress, but to White Celestial fox. The speaker was Empress Liao Ling.

White Celestial Fox spoke, "Black Devouring Spider, Empress Liao Ling, Phoenix Saintess , Flower empress, Sword Saintess, Violent Ghost Empress, Rainbow Empress, I wonder if any of you are planning on making a move?"

Phoenix Saintess suspiciously looks at her and replied, "What are you trying to say?" the others look at her.

"Fufu, if my guess is correct then black devouring spider won't be making a move, but…." she spoke in a slow and seductive tone.

"Just get on with it!"Phoenix Saintess threatened with a little bit of arrogance and impatience.

"There isn't a rule that someone other than Black Devouring Spider can't chase after Hao Yu."

"...." Living for so many years they understood what was happening.

"Body duplication art?"

Body duplication art was a skill that would allow the user to create an exact copy, but the power they have will lower by 1/10th as compensation.

The more bodies, the more power needed to create one. Also the user can decide how much to give to a copy. For an immortal emperor it was a useless ability and lowers the power you have, but…an Empress that doesn't have the power of an Immortal Emperor isn't an empress at all. Their titles were also given to them because they had reached the pinnacle of cultivation after all.

"Yes~ but I think the real Black Devouring Spider will be going. After all, even if it's a duplicate body…it would be annoying not to do things with your real one. She most likely had her duplicated body have at least 50% of her own strength."

They all agreed.

If they had to choose whether to do this with a fake body or a real one, they would naturally rather do things themselves.

Even with the body duplication art the senses were limited because the art wasn't meant for the owner to become the fake body, but to control it just like a puppet.

"Everyone~ I need to prepare things for seclusion so I won't be able to attend to you." Ending her view instantly.

The other also left as well. To them, each of the women there were rivals.

Violent Ghost empress yells out. "From this moment on, I will enter seclusion. All affairs will be passed down to King of the Underworld. If you don't have any important business then don't bother me, or else…"

In unison, "ALL GHOSTS HEAR THE COMMAND OF VIOLENT GHOST EMPRESS!! WE WILL OBEY!"

Across the universe, across the 6 realms, every empress was going into seclusion.

….

Meanwhile

"Why has all 8 empress gone to seclusion?"

"Could it be an enemy that threaten the 6 realms has appeared."

"For even the 8 empress to need to go to seclusion…is this the end of the world?

Countless conspiracy theories were running amok.
