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

And that stubbornness—she knew him all too well.

In ancient times, that's how it was...

"Cough! Cough..."

As she laughed, perhaps aggravating her injuries, Tianling suddenly frowned and coughed lightly, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Your injuries are too severe. Take these refined divine liquids first... This place is still far from the Sea Eye of Life Spring. Just focus on recuperating. Leave everything else to me..."

Seeing this, Tan Lin gently stroked the other person's back to help them calm their disordered breathing.

"Okay, cough... cough, now you're not 'Auntie's' precious nephew anymore, you're Auntie's man, so I'll listen to you..."

Once she caught her breath, Tianling sat cross-legged on the small boat, looking at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Tan Lin remained silent, offering no reply, but instead took out a ball of divine liquid and handed it to the other person.

Tianling took the items, but stopped her frivolous behavior and immediately entered a meditative state to treat her injuries.

……

Splash...

I don't know how much time has passed.

As the small boat carrying Tan Lin and his companion traveled tens of millions of miles across the sea, gradually venturing deeper into this sea of ​​suffering...

Visibly, ancient ships began to appear all around, and as time went on, the number of ships arriving from all directions increased constantly.

Ancient secrets, the creation of the Celestial Venerable...

All of these things were things that would excite the heroes.

Although many cultivators had gathered around, none of them dared to make a move.

Although that "Goddess Gu" was seriously injured, what she was wearing was the genuine Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe!

Judging from the momentum of the confrontation with the enemy just now, even if it was not the original form of the ultimate ancient emperor weapon, it must be a replica heavy weapon containing some of the ultimate power of the ancient emperor weapon.

Countless people are waiting for a figure with similar powerful weapons to arrive, so that they can counterbalance him and then make their move.

Of course, it would be even better if, before that, some brave cultivator would have ventured out to probe the depths of that indestructible golden body...

boom!!

Suddenly, just as some people were having such wild thoughts,

On an ancient ship, a prodigy from another race roared to the sky:

"Tan Lin, come and fight!!"

The thunderous roar shook the heavens and stirred the vital energy of the sea of ​​suffering, revealing the extraordinary cultivation of the one who uttered the roar.

Wow!

Before the sound faded,

A streak of crimson light tore through a patch of sea water, instantly closing the distance between the ancient ship and the small boat, appearing a thousand feet in front of the small boat, standing in mid-air.

The subtle atmosphere suddenly changed, and all the heroes in the distance turned their gazes toward them.

In their sight was a young man of a different race, three zhang tall, with dark red skin covered in strange demonic patterns.

He had four arms, a single horn on his forehead, and blood-red eyes. A dense aura of bloodlust swirled around him, and the faint wails of wronged souls could be heard emanating from him.

He had clearly committed countless massacres and had refined his body with blood and evil, achieving considerable skill.

Judging from his aura, he had reached the peak of the Saint King realm, and was only one step away from becoming a Great Saint.

"It's Blood Devastation from the 'Blood Demon Clan'..."

Upon seeing this person, a cultivator immediately recognized his identity.

"The Blood Demon Clan? That ferocious clan that was active in ancient times? I never imagined that its bloodline would continue into this era..."

"This Blood Sorrow has been cultivating in the Eight Forbidden Domains for a long time, and his combat power is unparalleled. It is said that he has slaughtered more than one genius of the same level, and even killed a low-level Great Saint, taking his essence blood to refine his body. He is ferocious and powerful. Why is he the first to jump out?"

"Hmph, it's just a pebble used for testing the waters."

There must be someone behind him instructing him to test the depths of that indestructible golden body; the sparring is a pretense, the real purpose is to probe.

Even so, the risk he was taking was enormous. If that indestructible golden body disregarded principles of Dao and martial virtue... and directly used the Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe, he would surely die!

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their eyes fixed on the small boat.

Bloodscar gripped a crimson scimitar in each of its four arms, the blades flowing with a viscous, bloody light.

Upon reaching the small boat, he licked his lips, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Tan Lin, filled with greed and bloodlust.

But aboard the small boat, Tan Lin didn't even bother to glance at him, only whispering to Tian Ling, who had opened her eyes:

"Close your eyes and rest for a moment, it will be quick."

Tianling did as she was told, closing her eyes again, showing absolute trust in him.

"Arrogant!!"

Seeing this scene, Xue Shang's eyelids twitched, feeling deeply humiliated.

Without a word, he swung his four arms simultaneously, and the four blood-red scimitars erupted with a terrifying crimson light, transforming into a blood-red sword prison that covered thousands of feet.

The blade energy crisscrossed, tearing through the void, and countless blood-red demonic shadows pounced out from the blade light, letting out shrill screams, heading straight for Tan Lin!

This is the Blood Demon Clan's secret killing move, "Ten Thousand Demon Blood Prison Slash," which was used to kill a Great Sage who was of a higher level.

however.

Faced with this ferocious and overwhelming attack, Tan Lin simply raised his right hand slowly, clenching his fist.

There was no dazzling divine light, no grand display, just a simple forward punch.

boom!

Wherever the fist passed, the blood-red blade light and ferocious demonic shadows that filled the sky shattered instantly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, and finally disappeared without a trace!

Then, the terrifying, invincible fist intent condensed to its extreme, as if piercing through time and space, and in Xue Shang's discolored eyes, it struck first and imprinted itself on his chest.

bang...

There was no earth-shattering explosion, just a muffled thud.

Bloodscar's three-zhang-tall demonic body, powerful enough to withstand any holy weapon, along with the four blood-red scimitars in his hands, exploded like a sand sculpture.

His body and flesh turned into a cloud of blood mist, which was swept up by the essence of the Bitter Sea and turned into "nourishment" in the sea, disappearing without a trace.

His primordial spirit within his Sendai didn't even have time to escape before it was completely annihilated by the fist's intent.

One punch, and the young supreme of the Blood Demon Clan perished!

The sea was completely silent.

Many monks fell silent.

Many of them had never seen Tan Lin make a move, but they guessed that Tan Lin was powerful. After all, being able to enter the Sea Eye of Life Spring meant he must have extraordinary abilities.

But who would have thought that Xue Shang, who was also at the peak of the Saint King realm and whose cultivation was even a step higher, and whose fearsome reputation was far-reaching, couldn't even withstand a single punch from him?

They were instantly blasted into dust!

I thought that at worst, I could at least test Tan Lin's true abilities, but it turned out to be a complete waste of time.

"This... how is this possible? Xue Shang is someone who can defeat a Great Sage! He has already traveled extremely far within the Eight Forbidden Domains..."

"Divine Restriction! It's a divine restriction. There have been rumors that Tan Lin triggered it when he first entered Sendai... At the time, it seemed too unbelievable, but now I have to believe it..."

"How far is the difference between the Divine Forbidden Law and the Eight Forbidden Laws? No matter how strong the Divine Forbidden Law is, there must be an upper limit, right?"

"That's right, this is outrageous. One punch, and he didn't find out anything..."

"..."

"Imperishable Golden Body, is it really that terrifying? I didn't sense much magical power fluctuation from his punch just now; it was purely physical strength and fist intent!"

"What a terrifying physique, what domineering fist techniques!"

On the distant sea, on ancient ships, many cultivators began to stir with conversation.

Tan Lin's punch deterred some of those with ill intentions but insufficient strength.

However, it also aroused the interest and apprehension of more powerful individuals.

Bloodshed had not been a long time coming.

At that moment, a cold shout rang out:

"I'll take you on!"

The creature that made the move this time was one of the myriad races of the heavens; it was a strange beast covered in blue scales, with a dragon's head and wings on its back.

It is enormous, with wings that can blot out the sky, leading many to speculate that it is the "Azure Scaled Dragon Beast" with some Azure Dragon blood.

Its cultivation has reached the pinnacle of Saint King, and its physical body is equally formidable, capable of fighting against Great Saints.

Roar! ! !

Amidst the attention of all heroes,

The azure-scaled dragon roared, spewing out a stream of azure dragon breath. The breath contained the power of wind and thunder, distorting the void and corroding everything in its path.

At the same time, its enormous dragon tail lashed out at the small boat like a divine whip, attempting to smash Tan Lin and the boat together.

Tan Lin remained motionless, only throwing another punch.

This time, a rich golden aura appeared on the fist, and six faint phantom images of indestructible golden bodies flashed by.

He fused these extraordinary phenomena and divine powers into the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

Boom!

As the fist was thrown, the azure dragon breath dissipated.

crackling sounds...

Click!

And at the instant that dragon's tail, powerful enough to shatter mountains, made contact with the fist...

It emitted a tooth-grinding cracking sound, and then the entire dragon tail broke off inch by inch, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!

The force of the punch continued, spreading upwards along the dragon's tail. The Azure Scaled Dragon Beast let out a shrill scream, and its massive body exploded, raining blood everywhere!

With the second punch, another supreme holy king-level ferocious beast was killed!

"hiss……"

Even some of the Great Sages hiding in the shadows changed color slightly.

They knew the strength of the Azure Scaled Dragon Beast's body; even ordinary Great Saints would find it difficult to break through its defenses easily, yet it was blown apart by two punches.

Just how strong is the physical body of this indestructible golden body?

"This person's physical body is stronger than many high-level Great Saints, and his fist techniques are divine; he cannot be defeated by force!"

An older monk whispered.

"Hmph, so what if your physical body is strong?"

For us cultivators, the Dharma and the Dao are fundamental! Watch as I slay him with my supernatural powers!

A cold, sinister voice rang out.

The void rippled, and a blurry black shadow appeared, its true form obscured.

However, his aura was strange and unpredictable, revealing him to be a powerful member of the "Shadow Clan" who specialized in the arts of soul and curses.

He appeared abruptly, his hands forming a mudra while he chanted incantations.

hum...

Soon, an invisible and intangible, malevolent curse aimed directly at the primordial spirit, accompanied by countless twisted shadow tentacles, was silently cast into Tan Lin's celestial platform from afar.

This is a sinister secret technique that targets the soul and spirit, making it impossible to defend against. Many physically strong individuals have fallen victim to this technique.

At this moment, on the small boat, Tan Lin finally raised his eyes and looked at the location of the dark figure.

Two golden lights suddenly shone in his eyes, like two condensed suns and moons.

"roll."
