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

There are still many corpses of prodigies here, waiting for her to devour their primordial essence and blood, so that she can transform once again.

But the emptiness in her heart, the stinging loneliness, made her feel as if she couldn't muster any motivation at all.

The tears have all dried up.

Her face beneath the bronze mask was completely expressionless.

Those cold, desolate eyes, like a bottomless, icy pool, now held a ferocity far greater than before.

It was them, those damned things...

If it weren't for them, the contingency plan Master left in the ring wouldn't have been activated...

They all deserve to die!!

But they are all dead...

Her thoughts were scattered, and after a long time, she slowly sat up, her movements somewhat stiff, yet unusually steady.

Then, she slowly lowered her head and looked at the bronze ring lying quietly in her palm.

She looked at it for a very long time.

Then, she put it on her finger very slowly.

Perhaps it was the warmth of her palm that warmed her up, and the previous icy touch was gone. But now, in her loneliness, it no longer brought her the warmth and comfort it once did.

Snapped……

She stood up, brushed some sand off her black dress, glanced at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood all around her, and then looked at the distant starry sky.

No words, no expression.

There was only an unusually fierce aura emanating from her.

boom!

The next moment, she activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and a violent and strange suction force suddenly erupted.

The demonic energy that was usually contained beneath her beautiful body surged, and the place where she stood seemed to have transformed into a black hole that devoured everything, frantically absorbing the essence and blood from the corpses here.

……

Da...da...

Finally, Li Qingjue took a step, her jade feet treading on the blood-red sand, and walked step by step toward the heavens.

clatter……

With each step she took, her aura grew stronger. Without meditating, she silently refined this "gain".

Rumble...

Soon, an invisible aura of calamity began to slowly gather above her head.

She is about to undergo a tribulation.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, less than thirty years have passed, and she has already crossed the threshold of the Saint King realm. Her cultivation speed can be described as astonishing.

Overall, however, she spent roughly half the time on early physical transformation and perfecting her demonic arts and half on later cultivation.

She seemed to be doing things the opposite of everyone else; the further she progressed in her cultivation, the faster she became, if not faster, at least she never slowed down.

Boom!!

A vast and unparalleled bolt of lightning struck down, and a woman in a black dress swayed as she soared into the sky to meet it.

She wants to become stronger, and stronger even faster!

Strong enough to face anything, strong enough to ensure that this feeling of powerlessness will never happen again, strong enough to forcefully suppress Master's backup plan and become stronger than Master.

She hoped that one day in the future, her master would no longer suppress her wishes...

Rumble... Rumble...

The purple light engulfed the heavens and earth, and the exquisite figure who stood alone in the light of destruction, whose body was shattered and reassembled time and time again, could not be seen by anyone.

Amidst the tribulation lightning, Li Qingjue remained silent, enduring everything in hushed tones.

It was as if the pain of limb reconstruction could slightly numb the emptiness in one's heart.

…………

Several months later, on the ancient Golden Road, in an ancient star field.

The location of this star field is quite delicate. Strictly speaking, it is not located on the Golden Ancient Road, but rather serves as a resting place for the prodigies of the ancient road to relax when they are exhausted.

Taking a step back here brings peace and tranquility, but taking another step forward means bloodshed and carnage are just around the corner.

At this moment, in an ancient city within the star field,

In a corner of a restaurant, Li Qingjue was quietly drinking alone, unusually without her bronze mask.

Although the mask could conceal her face and block all outside prying eyes, as she made a name for herself on the ancient road, the mask became more like an identity marker.

Normally, anyone who sees it will turn pale and retreat three steps away.

Today, she didn't want to cause such a commotion; she just wanted to drink quietly by herself.

However, besides that, the topics being discussed by the surrounding cultivators happened to be of interest to her, or rather, that was the reason she was drinking alone there:

"...Have you heard? That group of people who came from the Ancestral Star of Overlord Body a year or two ago were spotted near the 'Black Meteor Ancient Domain' recently!"

"Hehe, just happened to be passing by. It's said that their destination is that Emperor Burial Star. They're here to find the current immortal golden body and complete their destined battle..."

However, when they came out of the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body, it was said that the Undying Golden Body was very young, and had not even set foot in the Sendai Secret Realm yet.

Fearing criticism, he simply walked and stopped along the ancient road, honing his skills...

"..."

"The current Overlord of the Ancestral Star is a young man named Cang Ming, who is said to have the purest bloodline in the past ten thousand years."

"In the past two years, I've honed my skills on the ancient road, and have already slain dozens of renowned prodigies from various races!"

"Really? But there seems to be some news lately that they're not planning to wait any longer and are preparing to set off for the Burial Emperor Star..."

Wow!

Hearing this from the corner, Li Qingjue's heart seemed to stir with emotion.

She abruptly put down her cup and several rare treasures, then quietly disappeared into the restaurant.

…………

The Big Dipper constellation.

In the elegant courtyard of the inner city of the divine city in the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness.

Beneath the waterside pavilion.

A man and a woman were standing very close together.

An ambiguous atmosphere ferments in the aroma of tea and warmth, as if a single spark could ignite a raging fire.

"Young people are full of vigor, it's normal. Suppressing it will only waste your energy..."

"How about I help you calm your blood and stabilize your mind?"

As she spoke, Shao Hanyun slightly raised her stunningly beautiful face.

Her red lips parted slightly, her breath sweet as orchids, and her alluring eyes stared directly into Tan Lin's eyes, which seemed to be burning with passion.

Her actions were undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to manipulate the other party's emotions.

however.

She completely underestimated the special nature of Tan Lin's current state and overestimated her own ability to control the situation.

shuh...

The moment Shao Hanyun finished speaking, Tan Lin's eyes, which had previously held a deep and calm quality, were completely filled with a ball of golden flame.

He didn't speak, but his body suddenly moved!

He abruptly raised his hand and casually wrapped it around Shao Hanyun's slender waist, then suddenly tightened his grip.

Wow!

His force was so great that Shao Hanyun was caught off guard and let out a low gasp as she crashed into his solid chest.

"You... uh!"

The sudden turn of events caused a flicker of surprise in Shao Hanyun's beautiful eyes, as if she hadn't expected the other party to be so direct.

But before she could react, Tan Lin lowered his head and fiercely sealed her alluring red lips with his.

This kiss was completely devoid of any skill.

It is full of youthful passion and arrogance.

"you?"

A muffled nasal sound escaped Shao Hanyun's throat, and her delicate body tensed instantly.

She placed her hands on Tan Lin's chest, instinctively wanting to push him away, but for some reason, once she was in his arms, she went limp.

Chapter 165 Yang Guo's Physique: Invincible

Shao Hanyun felt her body suddenly go limp and was filled with disbelief.

Nestled in that rock-solid, scorching hot embrace, she tried to struggle to get up, but a subtle aura emanated from him, absurdly reducing the force of her resistance by seven-tenths.

Especially now, as their lips met and their breaths mingled,

The slight tingling and weakness that came through her body, limbs and bones as if she had been electrocuted, made her feel like her whole body had exploded!

"What's going on... his constitution?"

Shao Hanyun was filled with doubt and surprise. She secretly channeled her inner energy, trying to dispel this strange phenomenon.

But as Tan Lin's actions intensified, that strange attraction, whether directly affecting her mind or truly so inexplicable, became apparent.

In short, the flow of demonic power within her body became slightly sluggish.

This phenomenon made her increasingly alarmed, and deep down, she no longer felt much real resistance or aversion to what was happening. Instead, she felt an indescribable tremor.

Is this the indestructible golden body?

Having read through countless ancient and modern books, I have never heard of such a miraculous constitution.

Could it be that the other person is particularly special, or that they possess some kind of potential supreme substance, and that their status brings suppression?

But she is already a demigod!

What merit does the opponent, a mere peak-stage Dragon Transformation cultivator, possess?

Yes... the invisible resonance between it and the broken monument of the Human Emperor, the secrets it holds, are probably far beyond her imagination.

She thought she had overestimated the other party enough, but she never expected...

At that moment, a hint of horror flashed in Shao Hanyun's eyes, but it was quickly overwhelmed by more complex emotions, and even the suppressed ambition in her eyes truly occupied her pupils.

Since things have come to this... perhaps this is not such a bad opportunity?

An opportunity to completely bind each other together?

At least for now, the other side definitely has something worth betting on!

Thinking of this, she abandoned her resistance and slowly relaxed her hand that was blocking Tan Lin's chest, instead climbing up the boy's neck.

Beneath the waterside pavilion, the distant water ripples silently.

Shao Hanyun's enchanting eyes slowly closed, her long, curled eyelashes trembling slightly as she began to respond to the boy's actions.

Time passes little by little.

Inside the pavilion, the temperature seemed to be constantly rising.

The tranquility of the courtyard where the folded space is located, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the southern part of the inner city, creates a striking scene with an invisible contrast.

I don't know how much time passed.
