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

As for taking advantage of the chaos and picking up bargains?

That would require surviving the clash of ultimate weapons.

However, the sea was vast and boundless, and some cultivators were located near the shore...

Even though they were piloting an ancient ship, they couldn't escape the potential impact for a while, and at this moment, they were anxious and on the verge of tears.

"After more than a decade of twists and turns, was it really just a little short...?"

At the edge of the Bitter Sea, Tianling pursed her pale, chapped lips, her purple-gold eyes sweeping across the Bitter Sea before finally gazing at the distant, invisible central core area.

Although she couldn't see the waterfall at the sea eye of Lingbao Tianzun's life spring there, the resonance point of the moon-white jade that someone had crushed years ago, which was transmitted to the mother jade in her hand, clearly pointed to that place.

Unfortunately, she had already been caught up with and was exhausted, unable to actually reach that place.

With two formidable enemies watching her from behind, she wouldn't have the chance!

Moreover, after so many years, it's uncertain whether that person is still there.

With a single thought extinguished, the glimmer of hope in Tianling's heart sank.

Immediately, she stood tall and graceful against the wind, slowly turned around, and looked at the approaching enemy.

"To put up a stubborn resistance."

Upon seeing this, the Great Sage of the Golden Cave's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Without further ado, he swung his golden mace!

hum...

A wisp of supreme divine power revived. Although it was not a full revival, it was still terrifyingly powerful. Right now, the divine power transformed into a golden mace shadow that tore through the starry sea and smashed down on Tian Ling!

Boom!

In an instant, the sky and sea shook here.

If this attack lands, given Tianling's current state, even though she's wearing the Divine Silkworm Robe, the sheer power it exudes would be enough to severely injure her and leave her on the verge of death.

Standing still, Tianling gritted her teeth, mustered her last bit of divine power, and poured it into the Divine Silkworm Robe.

Wow!

The divine silkworm robe slowly revived, and nine-colored rays of light bloomed, transforming into a light curtain to protect the body.

But at this moment,

The presence within the gray mist also activated that mysterious supreme artifact!

In fact, his strength far surpasses that of the Great Sage of the Golden Cave, and he clearly possesses a secret technique that allows him to unleash the power of the Supreme Artifact to a greater extent.

Rumble...

Once activated, the aura unleashed by that supreme artifact was even a notch stronger than the slightest trace of extreme power emitted by the golden mace!

click... click...

Two against one.

Tianling was in extremely poor condition. Even with all her might, she could only barely revive the Divine Silkworm Robe, which was not enough to achieve the purpose of defending against the enemy.

Click!

The light barrier only lasted for a moment before shattering with a deafening roar.

The golden mace shadow and the physical form of the supreme artifact continued their relentless assault on Tianling!

"Am I going to die...?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Tianling's eyes, but more than that, there was a sense of relief.

For hundreds of thousands of years, it has been tempered and eroded by the waters of the Divine Soul Pool...

Having been hunted for so many years, constantly on the move, perhaps death is also a kind of destiny.

But... in the end, I never got to see "him" again...

The person on the cliff of the Chi family's Daoist practice back then was ultimately not the real "him"...

With this thought in mind, she seemed to resign herself to her fate, closed her eyes, and gave up all means of resistance.

At this moment, Gu Qingying, who had lost control of her body for decades and was in a corner of Sendai, sensed everything outside and her primordial spirit fell into despair and silence amidst her unwillingness.

Meanwhile, the Golden Cave Great Sage and the Gray Mist Being, who sensed Tianling's will to die, were present.

Seeing this, they subconsciously controlled the power of their heavy weapons, intending to only shatter the opponent's physical body and prevent their soul from being annihilated as well.

however.

Just as Tianling was preparing to "transform into the Dao" on its own, unexpected changes occurred from the outside world!

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, from the central sea eye waterfall, a ray of clear light slashed straight down from the boundless surface of the Ancient Celestial Venerable Bitter Sea!

Boom!!!

At this moment, the boundless sea seemed to be divided in two, with the seawater flowing to both sides to allow that ray of moonlight to accompany it!

shuh...

The speed at which Qinghui slashed was so fast that it reached tens of millions of miles away the instant the light barrier in front of Tianling shattered.

next interest.

The many cultivators nearby seemed to be seeing things, as if they saw a figure in the moonlight.

And soon, it turned out that this was not their misconception.

A figure, like a true dragon emerging from the sea, carrying boundless heavenly blood and chaotic divine light from the clear light, instantly blocked Tian Ling's way!

At this moment, "Qinghui" merges with it, making its energy unfathomable.

He was a tall and handsome young man, enveloped in a powerful golden aura of blood energy.

Because the speed at which Qinghui broke through the void was too fast, all that was left for the surrounding people in that instant was an afterimage, and no one could see its true appearance.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, everything happened.

At that very moment, the powerful weapon unleashed by the Great Sage of the Golden Cave and the Being of Gray Mist reached the man and woman.

But the lone youth, facing the golden mace shadow powerful enough to kill any Great Sage, neither dodged nor evaded, but merely raised his right hand.

Then, with fingers spread wide and a clear light swirling in the palm, he gently clenched his fist towards the shadow of the mace.

Splash...

The next instant.

The golden light shattered, and the mace's shadow vanished!

The aftershocks of that supreme divine power, powerful enough to tear apart the starry sea, were actually crushed by his bare hands, turning into a shower of light that dissipated!

Clang...

Meanwhile, the supreme artifact's divine light attacking from the other side was flicked away by him with a single finger, annihilating it.

It was as if an invisible force struck the physical object of the supreme artifact, producing a deafening sound like a resounding bell.

"what?!"

The sudden scene caused the Great Sage of the Golden Cave and the mysterious figure in the gray mist to both shrink in shock and pale with horror!

A single blow that crushed an ancient imperial weapon with bare hands?!

Even if it's just a wisp of divine power that the Golden Mace has spontaneously revived, it's still too incredible!

Who is this person?!

"Suiren, is that 'you' who's back...?"

Suddenly, Tianling opened her eyes and looked at the "familiar" back blocking her way.

At this moment, even though the other person's figure was shrouded in strange phenomena, she would never mistake the feeling of being protected behind him.

Her pale lips trembled, and her soul uttered the name that had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years in the Immortal Platform. Her divine sense fluctuated, and the voice entered Tan Lin's ears.

At that moment, her purple-gold eyes instantly became misty.

At this moment, all was quiet, not a sound could be heard.

In the midst of a subtle, deathly silence, the cultivators on the Sea of ​​Bitterness finally managed to guess the identity of the newcomer through the astonishing fluctuations in blood energy.

And the next breath.

wow...

As the strange phenomenon surrounding the newcomer faded, many people in the distance became even more certain of their incredible guess.

In their sight stood a handsome young man with black hair, his eyes deep and unfathomable like the ancient starry sky, his aura as powerful as a dragon, and his body flowing with an immortal golden luster.

As far as the eye could see, a ray of moonlight lingered around it.

In an instant, a majestic aura, as if it had once reigned over the entire world, spread out, silencing the entire Bitter Sea.

A clear glow... golden blood energy...

His identity seems self-evident.

"An indestructible golden body! He is Tan Lin!"

In the dead silence, someone finally cried out in surprise, revealing Tan Lin's identity.

"What?! He's Tan Lin?!"

"Did anyone see where he appeared from?! For so many years, no one has ever seen him on this boundless sea of ​​suffering..."

"..."

"The Eye of Life, he came from the Eye of Life!"

"Hiss... So, all these years, he's been staying under that sea eye? That's an incredible stroke of luck..."

"How on earth did they do that?!"

"..."

"Am I seeing things? I think I just saw him... crush an ancient imperial weapon with his bare hands!!"

How is this possible?! That's an ancient imperial weapon of the highest level!

"Could it be... that he has already reached the Quasi-Emperor realm?!"

"No, that wasn't his power, it was the blessing of that wisp of clear light... but even that was astonishing!"

"..."

On the sea, gasps of shock, doubts, and horrification rose and fell.

Everyone was shocked by Tan Lin's appearance and the scene of him blocking the attack of the ultimate weapon with his bare hands.

On the edge of the Bitter Sea, the Great Sage of the Golden Cave gripped his golden mace tightly. His emotions had been churning for so long, and only now had they begun to calm down.

He listened to the cacophony of voices around him and gleaned some key information about the other party's identity.

Immediately afterwards, he stood side by side with the gray-mist man, staring intently at Tan Lin, and then said in a deep voice:

"Tan Lin? What is your relationship with this woman, and why are you getting involved?"

"Your Excellency, the waters here run deep. As a descendant of the future, you bear the hopes of the Undying Golden Body lineage. You should learn to assess the situation carefully and avoid getting involved in troubled waters..."

Beside him, the gray-mist man also spoke.

His breath hitched, and his eyes, hidden in the gray mist, stared at the wisp of clear light surrounding Tan Lin, filled with apprehension.

He came from a forbidden zone, yet even he couldn't immediately discern the true nature of this radiant light.

However, Tan Lin completely ignored the two of them while staring at them.

He slowly turned around, the strange phenomenon completely disappeared, revealing his handsome and composed face.

He gazed at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, her divine silkworm robe soaked with blood, her breath weak and feeble.

This aunt, whom he had taken for granted in this life, was completely different from the woman he remembered from his past, making her feel both strange and familiar.

But the purplish-gold hue that surfaced in the depths of her eyes, and the complex emotions contained within them at that moment...

Yet it seemed to slowly overlap with the figure from his past lives, from millions of years ago.
