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

In the distance, the four ancient beings who were almost at the Quasi-Emperor level were all astonished upon seeing this.

Such a heavenly tribulation intensity would make anyone who didn't know better think that one of them had taken a crucial step, triggering a quasi-emperor tribulation!

Rumble...

Outside the void.

The celestial tribulation was like a vast sea, and the lightning was like a prison, illuminating this desolate region of the starry sky with a fiery white and purple hue.

Li Qingjue was suspended in the void, surrounded by dark demonic energy, and behind him faintly appeared a phantom of a great Dao treasure bottle that was as black as ink and could absorb all Dao.

Her eyes, hidden beneath the bronze mask, were cold and unsettling. She showed no fear as terrifying figures rapidly approached from four directions.

Boom!

As her aura rose...

In an instant, the first bolt of tribulation lightning struck down, as thick as an ancient divine mountain, crackling with purple lightning and carrying an aura of destruction, directly striking Li Qingjue's head.

Instead of dodging or avoiding it, she opened her mouth slightly and inhaled, swallowing the terrifying lightning bolt whole!

boom……

The tribulation lightning exploded inside her body, but was instantly pulverized by the dark, demonic energy mixed in with her flesh, blood, and internal organs. It was slowly refined and eventually transformed into pure energy that merged into her limbs and bones.

At this moment, her cultivation aura had risen to the fourth minor step of the Great Saint realm, and it seemed that there was no sign of it stopping.

"This woman... is no ordinary person! To cultivate to such a level with only a mortal body and mortal blood..."

A somber voice echoed from afar.

Four figures stood in mid-air from different directions.

Each of them possessed a profound and abyss-like aura, surrounded by Dao principles, and two of them were even peak Great Saints who had touched the threshold of Quasi-Emperor!

On the east side, an old man dressed in purple-gold armor and wearing a golden unicorn helmet held a golden mace.

The mace emanated wisps of restrained, supreme imperial power, making it easy to discern the old man's identity from this unusual phenomenon.

He was a great saint from the Golden Cave. This time, he was invited by someone and tempted by the method of immortality and the method of resisting the melting and erosion of the divine soul liquid. He brought the golden mace, the supreme ancient imperial weapon of his clan.

Displacement

On the southwest side, two figures stood side by side.

One of the men had a sinister face and cold eyes. He was Kun Zhou Da Sheng, one of the instigators of the Big Dipper conflict after the death of the Fighting Saint Emperor at the end of the Primordial Era.

Beside him stood another man with a composed demeanor and deep gaze; he was his nephew, Di Que!

Perhaps influenced by someone's butterfly effect, Di Que was not truly in the same era as the Fighting Saint Emperor.

When the former was born, the latter had already cultivated for hundreds of years.

By the time Di Que had cultivated to the level of a Great Sage, the Fighting Saint Emperor had already attained enlightenment, his power dominating the world and causing countless geniuses to sigh in regret.

It is a pity that he was born at the wrong time and was unable to fight against him. Under such circumstances, even if he relied on his talent, he could only seal it into the divine source and wait for future generations.

At this moment, the uncle and nephew stood side by side, with the uncle clearly weak and the nephew strong, the latter's aura having already touched the realm of a quasi-emperor.

Neither of them were born into an ancient royal family, and neither currently possessed an ultimate ancient royal weapon.

Even so, Kun Zhou held a small bronze tower in his hand, its body engraved with ancient patterns and Dao runes, radiating a heart-palpitating quasi-emperor law fluctuation.

As for the north side...

It was a figure shrouded in gray mist.

He was surrounded by an indescribable, eerie aura, seemingly out of place in this starry sky. Only his eyes, appearing and disappearing in the mist, were cold and indifferent; no one could see his true face.

Even the Kunzhou group, who briefly served as "companions," did not know his true identity, only that he might be related to a certain forbidden zone.

Because he possessed a rather ancient supreme artifact, which, although not an ultimate divine weapon, was much stronger than ordinary quasi-emperor artifacts.

"Human girl, in principle, our affairs with her are none of your business, but since you've gotten involved, it's just bad luck."

Even if you manage to take a few more small steps forward now, what then? Once you've survived your tribulation, can you withstand the attacks of our powerful weapons?

Maintaining the void seal, the Great Sage of Kunzhou spoke coldly, his voice like the friction of metal.

As he spoke, he turned to look at where Tianling was:

"Hand over what we want, and we might suffer less. Otherwise, we'd be quite happy to taste the flavor of the ancient princess of the once-powerful Tianxuan royal family..."

Ancient princess?

Upon hearing this, Tian Ling's face turned fierce, while Li Qingjue's heart stirred, and he suddenly understood many key points, yet he found them somewhat unbelievable.

Neither woman spoke at this moment.

After Li Qingjue refined the first level of tribulation lightning, she looked up at the sky.

In the starry sky, the sea of ​​lightning had gathered to its limit, and the second and third waves of heavenly lightning struck down one after another!

Boom!!!

This time, it wasn't a single bolt of lightning, but thousands upon thousands of tribulation lightning bolts mixed with fragments of numerous Dao principles, raining down like a storm.

Each bolt of tribulation lightning, after evolving through fragments of Dao principles, might transform into the Vermilion Bird, an ancient ferocious race, or...

The tribulation lightning evolved in this way, and each bolt was enough to kill an ordinary Great Sage!

Wow!

But at this moment, Li Qingjue, facing all of this, took the initiative to rush into the sea of ​​lightning that stretched for millions of miles!

She moved like a dragon, weaving through the thunder and lightning. Dark, demonic energy transformed into ferocious, gigantic divine and demonic shadows, battling against the fragments of Dao principles within the tribulation lightning, and then devouring and refining them.

Rumble...

Bang!

bang... bang...

With each collision, vast swathes of lightning annihilated everything, and her aura rose accordingly.

In a very short time, he broke through another realm and stepped into the fifth minor stage of the Great Sage!

"This woman is using the power of the heavenly tribulation to transform her physique and refine her magical path!"

Seeing this, the Great Sage of the Golden Cave narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even with the ultimate ancient imperial weapon in his hands, he couldn't sit still any longer at this moment:

"She's absolutely stunning..."

"Don't be afraid of hijacking. You all must have secret methods to deceive everyone. Even though we're so far apart, it won't be a problem for us to attack from a distance..."

boom!!!

The voice just fell.

The four powerful figures, each with their own domain in their own right, launched their attacks almost simultaneously.

It was obvious that they had listened to almost everything the Great Sage of the Golden Cave said.

Now it seems that this woman is a greater threat than Tianling and Princess Shencan, whose cultivation has not progressed at all!

It has grown to this extent in such a short time. If it is not eliminated today, it will surely become a great threat in the future!

Of the four, only Di Que showed a hint of regret in his eyes.

Seeing the girl's talent, he was actually quite pleased with himself.

I originally intended to let him improve his cultivation level so we could have a battle at the same realm, thus allowing him to take that step.

But he wasn't pedantic; he wouldn't deliberately act differently at this crucial juncture.

At this crucial moment of fierce battle, he chose to join his uncle in attacking, intending to suppress Li Qingjue.

hum...

Kun Zhou Dasheng activated the bronze pagoda, and the pagoda grew in the wind, transforming into a giant pagoda a thousand feet tall. Bronze immortal light burst forth from the bottom of the pagoda, intending to blast Li Qingjue and the sea of ​​thunder together!

Beside him, Di Que formed hand seals and unleashed an ancient secret technique.

Splash...

next interest.

Countless chains of Dao principles appeared in the void, rattling and coiling towards Li Qingjue's location.

In the north, the mysterious figure shrouded in gray mist silently raised a hand and pointed.

A wisp of gray light shot out from his fingertip, and wherever it passed, the void decayed and the laws of the Dao withered, pointing directly at Li Qingjue's brow altar!

The three peak Great Saints joined forces in a single attack, with one of them, a giant who was almost at the Quasi-Emperor level, wielding a powerful weapon.

At this moment, even a true quasi-emperor must take it seriously!

bang...

On the other side, a golden mace appeared in the sky, unleashing an aura of imperial power.

A golden light tore through the void, bypassed the blockade of the tribulation clouds, and struck Tian Ling directly, firmly confining it near the void and preventing it from coming to its aid.

Upon seeing this, Tianling frowned deeply.

In her opinion, Li Qingjue's idea was good, but he neglected the countermeasures of these adversaries.

Hijacking a plane to break the blockade?

Even if she can survive until that moment, she can escape, and with the ancient imperial weapon she can barely protect herself, but what about Qi?

I'm afraid the other side will be hard-pressed to escape by then!

boom!

In the hollow, the Divine Silkworm Robe emitted a nine-colored celestial light, clashing with the Golden Mace.

Both of these supreme ancient imperial weapons have been revived to a certain extent, and the power they unleash is such that even a low-level quasi-emperor would have to temporarily avoid their edge.

At that very moment, Kun Zhou and the others' offensive techniques also instantly reached Li Qingjue's level.

It was as if the figure in the black dress was about to perish amidst the perilous situation.

"Little girl!"

Tianling gritted her teeth and was about to activate the Divine Silkworm Robe to forcefully rush into the sea of ​​thunder to rescue them.

This was her destined misfortune, and it was already wrong of her to involve Li Qingjue, who was someone's disciple.

If the other person were to die because of her, she really didn't know how she would face her "beloved" in the future.

"Heh, you dare to be distracted when fighting me?"

Having seen through Tian Ling's actions, the Great Sage of the Golden Cave snorted coldly, barely managing to stop her with his ancient imperial weapon, and sneered:

"Wearing this human body, unable to unleash the power of the Dao contained within the Heavenly Profound Emperor's blood, do you still think you are the 'you' you once were?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, it'll be your turn soon..."

In the distance, Kun Zhou noticed the situation and laughed loudly, then slowly said:

"After all, you are the main target of our operation. The reason we chose to eliminate this woman first is simply to remove a potential threat beforehand..."

however.

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

shuh...

Kun Zhou's sharp gaze swept over him like that of a hawk.

There, amidst the purple light he had assumed would soon be settled, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

boom!!!

In the center of the sea of ​​lightning, Li Qingjue suddenly let out a long roar.

She formed hand seals, and the illusory image of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle behind her suddenly solidified, its mouth aimed at the three offensive techniques, unleashing a terrifying suction force that devoured the heavens and the earth!

"Devouring Heaven... Myriad Transformations!!"
