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

Among the group of exceptionally talented individuals, Jiang Wanqing, with her outstanding temperament and beauty, stood out like a crane among chickens. She parted her lips and spoke softly.

Her tone was also filled with disbelief.

Having witnessed the appearance of that indestructible golden body and its journey towards the sacred mountain, she had meticulously planned and racked her brains, yet she never imagined that such a comical, yet incredibly real, scene would unfold in the end.

No wonder... no wonder that person seemed so confident from the start...

rustling... rustling...

Her long, flowing black hair, tied in a high ponytail, swayed in the wind.

As Jiang Wanqing's thoughts wandered, she saw that in this moment of utter silence...

High in the clouds, the man slowly reached out and gently stroked the ancient array diagram floating in front of him. His movements were natural, as if it had always belonged to him.

Then, it seemed as if it had put away the invisible heavy weapon it originally had in its hand, and then nodded slightly to the array diagram, before putting it into its sleeve.

After doing all this,

Tan Lin raised his eyes again, glanced at the sacred mountain below that had fallen into complete silence, his gaze calm, revealing no joy or anger, and showing no change in emotion whatsoever.

Hey!

The next moment,

Under the gaze of countless stunned, shocked, and incredulous eyes upon the sacred mountain,

He took a step forward, his figure heading towards the ancient tree of life on the mountaintop. His intentions seemed self-evident.

"You scoundrel, how dare you! You even dare to lay a finger on the elixir of immortality?! Return the array diagram to me..."

Seeing this, the "god" snapped out of his shock and unleashed a roar filled with collapse and madness, almost heart-wrenching, as he formed hand seals.

Knowing full well that it was likely no match for the indestructible golden body, it still dared to summon the immense power of faith accumulated over countless years within the sacred mountain, attempting a desperate last stand?

He was very old and nearing the end of his life. The miraculous medicine was his hope for a new life and his most precious possession!

If Tan Lin had taken the array diagram that was inherently uncontrollable and unmanageable, even if Tan Lin were to collapse and fly into a rage, he would most likely not choose to perish together with the enemy.

This immortal elixir is his true "Achilles' heel," the dragon's reverse scale, which outsiders must not touch, and must not be lost under any circumstances!

"die!!!"

With a fierce shout, "God" unleashed his fury, unleashing everything he had to "stop" Tan Lin.

Yes, he simply stopped him, because he probably knew that without the array diagram, it was simply unrealistic to suppress or even destroy it now.

thump...

The roar reverberated through the sacred mountain, carrying an almost frenzied determination.

boom!

At the same time, the sacred mountain suddenly erupted with a powerful "divine light," with wisps of light emanating from its body.

This made the entire sacred mountain appear as if it had been cracked open with countless fissures.

Splash...

Inside the sacred mountain, the vast, ocean-like power of faith, accumulated over countless millennia, was completely stirred.

It's no longer as simple as being manipulated by "gods" through spells, condensing into a Dharma body, and evolving into attacks.

Instead, it erupted like a sea vent, or a galaxy poured back, transforming into the purest and even most violent torrent of energy.

Wow!

Endless power of faith burst forth from every inch of rock inside the mountain, relentlessly surging towards Tan Lin at the summit, attempting to lift him away!

Not only that, "God" clearly has a well-thought-out plan.

He wanted to take advantage of the brief moment he was blocking the other party to use a portion of his divine faith power to imprison the immortal medicine, thereby incorporating it into his body, slowly refining it, and living out his second life!

Boom!

Rumble... Rumble...

At the mountaintop, the power of faith, which is inherently formless and intangible, has now become so vast that it has condensed into a tangible form.

It is colorful and dazzling, but it also carries the weight of destruction.

click... click...

Near the sacred mountain, even with the ancient laws and practices of the divine kingdom, and the incense and prayer patterns that bless this area,

But the surrounding void still groaned under the weight of this torrent, the space shattering inch by inch, revealing the seemingly eternal nothingness and darkness behind it.

Rumble...

At this moment, the entire sacred mountain was trembling violently, teetering on the brink of collapse, as if it would disintegrate at any moment under the influence of this force.

And as faith in divine power is utilized to the fullest extent...

The aura of "god" slowly rose to its maximum potential at this moment.

Under the radiant glow of the divine light, his aged face was contorted, his eyes filled only with an obsession with seizing the ancient tree of life and a devastating hatred for Tan Lin's "stealing" of the array diagram.

He gambled everything, the accumulated wealth of the divine kingdom over countless ages, and even his own life and future!

however.

As this massive, all-encompassing torrent of faith swept in, it was clear that...

Tan Lin merely turned his head slightly and glanced at the "god" who seemed to have gone mad.

His gaze remained calm, like a deep pool, without the slightest ripple.

Having lived five lifetimes, his wisdom has now been almost fully awakened; how insightful he is!

He could see through the flaw in the opponent's current state at a glance.

Immediately, he put one hand behind his back, and with a wave of his right hand, crimson mist surged, summoning the Emperor's Banner once more. He then gently waved it at the surging torrent of faith.

laugh……

next moment.

An indescribable divine power emanated from the Emperor's Banner.

But when that torrent of faith, powerful enough to crush stars and easily shatter the Great Sage, touched this "momentum," it had the opposite effect and was swept back with a roar!

It wasn't shattered, nor worn down; it was as if a fully inflated husk had been struck in its weakest point by a needle.

Under the spotlight

That seemingly vast and powerful force of faith appeared so pale and powerless in the face of the invisible divine power of the heavy weapon.

"No!! This can't be?!"

Upon seeing this, "God" was furious and let out a desperate and unwilling roar.

He couldn't understand why the sacred mountain, accumulated over millennia, possessed the power of faith he now relied on most.

How could they become so vulnerable in front of the other party?

This completely overturned all the knowledge and beliefs he had established over thousands of years.

Wow!

At this moment, the backlash from the torrent of faith, coupled with the fundamental impact of the secret technique being forcibly interrupted, directly caused numerous "Dao injuries" within his body.

"puff……"

The "god" coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with the divine light of faith, his aura instantly weakened, and the towering divine image behind him trembled violently.

In an instant, its form rapidly became transparent and illusory, and finally, with a "bang," it exploded into a shower of light.

bang...

He himself, however, was like a kite with a broken string, flying backwards from the high sky.

Finally, it crashed into the depths of the temple below, where the power of faith surged, stirring up a cloud of dust and chaotic fluctuations of divine faith power; its fate remains unknown.

Quiet.

A suffocating silence once again enveloped the entire sacred mountain, even more thoroughly than when the array diagram had "changed hands" before.

Everyone stared blankly at the figure high in the sky, bathed in the glow of divine faith, appearing like a celestial king descending to earth.

Watching him casually wave his hand, he turned the desperate attack of their natives' patron into nothingness, and the "god" himself was left in a state of unknown fate.

Isn't that way too easy?!

What kind of strength is this?

What kind of important weapon is this person holding?

Countless people can only see the surface, unaware of the inside story, and assume that the difference in the forces mobilized by the two is enormous.

A tremendous wave of shock surged through their hearts, and their awe and fear of that figure instantly reached their peak.

However, just as "God" was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with it,

Another strange change has occurred on the other side of the sacred mountain!

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

Dozens of subtle yet powerful auras quietly ascended from different directions around the sacred mountain to its midpoint.

Finally, it seemed that the great battle between "God" and the indestructible golden body was about to end at the very beginning.

And that immortal herb was almost within reach.

With a heavy heart, they each used their escape techniques, taking advantage of the fact that the battle between Gao Tian and the other was not yet completely decided.

One by one, they stopped slowly climbing the mountain and rose up from the ground.

Transforming into streaks of light, they hurtled towards the ancient tree atop the mountain, shrouded in rosy light and brimming with life force!

These people are all old monsters who have been lurking in the shadows from the beginning, coveting the elixir of immortality, and young supreme beings from various races outside!

They witnessed the immortal golden body ascending the mountain, saw it completely muddy the waters of the divine realm, and attracted the attention of everyone on and off the mountain, including the "god" himself.

Many of them then had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation, and quickly made up their minds to put it into action.

The allure of immortality was irresistible; they had already reached the mountainside, ready to pounce.

Even though they witnessed Tan Lin's power firsthand, their greed for the divine medicine temporarily overwhelmed their fear of him.

"Quick!! The opportunity will be fleeting..."

"The battle between those two is almost over!!"

Swoosh... Swoosh...

The incident happened so suddenly that by the time the many high-ranking elders and disciples on the sacred mountain reacted, they were already almost at the summit.

"Damn it!!"

"stop……"

The old men halfway up the mountain were furious and chased after them, but they were too late.

"Is this a case of reaping the rewards but ending up reaping them on my head?"

Suddenly, a faint, clear voice resounded from the high heavens and then clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

shuh...

Upon hearing this, the assembled heroes trembled, their gazes refocusing on the young figure high in the sky.

After saying this as if to himself, he didn't even bother to look over.

He held the invisible, heavy weapon in his right hand, and the flagpole paused slightly.

hum!

The Emperor's Banner moved without wind, and the illusory images of the engraved patterns on its surface reappeared.

boom!!

In an instant, an overwhelming imperial might descended, like an invisible curtain, pressing down on the "god" that had once again surged forth from the ocean of faith in the temple.

The "god" was already at his limit, and only appeared to have remaining strength thanks to the power of faith. The divine power of faith he cultivated into his body and the power of faith in the sacred mountain shared the same origin, allowing them to complement each other.

But now, enveloped by this imperial might, they were as if trapped in quagmire, their speed drastically reduced.
