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

Their gazes toward Li Qingjue were filled with fear and apprehension.

The surrounding heroes, needless to say, were all silent and trembling with fear. Even though they still coveted the divine coffin, they didn't dare to breathe loudly, let alone make a move.

no way,

This female demon is terrifying. The moment she entered, she instantly destroyed two holy spirits with a mere gesture, then severely injured the three sons of the underworld, easily broke the Demon Emperor's seal, and took the coffin containing the elixir of immortality...

This whole process makes it seem as if the very fabric of this place was designed specifically for it.

Even without activating the forbidden bronze wheel, his strength is still terrifying!

Judging from his displayed cultivation level, he seems to have not yet reached the peak of the Great Saint realm, but is still only at the level of a high-level Great Saint.

If he were to reach the pinnacle of the Great Sage realm, how powerful would he become?

Can they overcome that insurmountable barrier and directly confront a quasi-emperor?

Da...da...

Li Qingjue took the coffin as if it were empty, and after the initial contact, he didn't glance at anyone again.

It was as if everything she had just done was nothing more than casually picking a wildflower by the roadside.

whoosh...

Finally, she blurred into a streak of pitch-black light and headed back towards the tunnel she had come from, disappearing into the end of the passage in the blink of an eye.

Only after her figure completely disappeared did the tense atmosphere inside the tomb ease slightly.

Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Damn it!!"

Suddenly, with a loud "bang," Yan Luozi slammed his fist into the ground, creating a deep crater in the paved floor made of some unknown material. His face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

Beside him, the Underworld Prince and the Prison Suppressor also had grim expressions, their eyes brimming with murderous intent and resentment, yet they were helpless.

far away,

Cui Linglong and the Three Holy Spirits of Qing Teng exchanged a glance, both seeing lingering fear in each other's eyes.

It's true that their Holy Spirit Clan was at the height of their power during this ancient era, and their arrogance grew increasingly rampant, but that doesn't mean they were brainless.

Even the best opportunities require the right life to enjoy them.

In the silence, under the watchful, smug gazes of a few powerful figures lurking in the corner,

They silently began collecting the remaining essence and fragments of Hua Cang and Lei Huang's Holy Spirit, and then quickly left, unwilling to linger any longer.

The Demon Emperor's Tomb remains largely unexplored, yet its deeper, more sturdy defenses, dating back countless millennia, deter everyone from venturing there.

Everyone knows that today is not the right time for the Demon Emperor's Tomb to truly emerge.

As for when the restrictions here will weaken to the point of being breached, no one can predict the exact time.

Perhaps ten thousand years from now, perhaps when this era ends, or even hundreds of thousands of years from now...

The dust settles,

The monks who had been observing from the edge of the tomb chamber scattered one after another.

Before this, no one had expected it.

A fierce battle ended abruptly with such an unbelievable and sudden turn of events.

After this day, the ferocity of that Devouring Demon will surely become even stronger, spreading throughout the entire starry sky.

……

however.

In the shadows unnoticed by everyone present,

Two obscure auras lurked above and below within the tomb robber's tunnel.

Throughout Li Qingjue's appearance, the ensuing battle, and the subsequent removal of the coffin, they patiently lurked in the shadows like venomous snakes, silently observing everything at the end of the tomb.

"She really is still here..."

Kun Zhou Da Sheng's gaze was cold and sinister:

"She has truly encountered a fate unlike any other here. Her aura has grown even stronger; I fear I am no match for her now."

Fortunately, we were prepared..."

"Uncle, she has taken the coffin and is heading towards the exit. Can this thing... be activated now?"

Di Que communicated with Kun Zhou Wuhen at the cave entrance using an unknown object, his voice carrying a hint of hollowness, as if following the rules.

He would normally disdain such underhanded tactics, but he couldn't resist his uncle's insistence on making the arrangements.

Moreover, during the previous decades-long pursuit, that person was indeed slippery; although he was no match for him, he always managed to escape alive. And the next time he reappeared, his strength would have increased dramatically, just like this time.

If he hadn't witnessed such a phenomenon firsthand, he would probably have dismissed it as a popular ancient story or tale, as it was far too bizarre and unreal.

"Wait a little longer, let her get a little closer to the exit..."

The space there was stable, the void was imprisoned and welded shut by the special patterns of this place, and she had no way to escape from inside the tomb. It was the best place to make her move and to maximize the power of that 'artifact'.

This time, we must strike decisively, giving her no chance to react!

At the edge of the tomb chamber, the Great Sage Kunzhou's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He stared intently in the direction Li Qingjue had left, and then, like the most patient hunter, quietly followed.

……

The tomb robber's tunnel was deep and winding upwards.

whoosh...

The black light that Li Qingjue transformed into was not fast.

At this moment, she seemed to be immersed in some strange emotion.

rustling... rustling...

She tucked one hand into her sleeve, caressing the miniature coffin that had been shrunk by supernatural powers, feeling the coldness emanating from it with her fingertips. Her thoughts drifted back to the time she had searched for souls in that sacred place earlier.

Thinking of the figure she had learned about in Chi Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness, a slight ripple appeared on the surface of her cold and lonely heart, and the evil dragon helplessly sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Master, where are you now? Have you remembered everything from our past life? If we meet again, will you recognize Nannan...?"

She murmured to herself, a rare hint of bewilderment and reminiscence flashing in her eyes beneath the black mist.

She thought of the heartache she felt years ago when she met "him" outside the Crimson Cloud River, but they didn't recognize each other.

whoosh...

As she pondered this, just as she was about to reach the exit of the tunnel, and could already see a sliver of daylight filtering in from the outside,

A sudden and unexpected change occurred!

Boom!!!

The entire tomb, no, the entire "ruins" continent that was not shrouded by the Demon Emperor's Tomb's restrictions, trembled violently!

boom……

Then,

An indescribable, terrifying aura suddenly descended from the exit of the tunnel, instantly locking onto Li Qingjue, who was flying upwards inside the tunnel.

That energy was filled with supreme destruction.

It seemed to gather all the end of the world, possessing power far surpassing that of a Great Saint Weapon, even exceeding that of a Quasi-Emperor, and carrying a supreme majesty that crushed life at the level of existence!

"A supreme artifact?!"

A strong sense of foreboding washed over Li Qingjue.

At this moment, she collected her thoughts and tensed up.

She instantly realized that this was a trap set for her!

Moreover, the venomous snake in the shadows used a supreme-level forbidden artifact, which might even be a flawed supreme artifact!

The other party had clearly been planning this for a long time.

Just when she had taken all the treasures from the tomb and was having a smooth journey, her nerves were slightly relaxed, and she was in a relatively narrow tomb-raiding tunnel on her way out of the area, making it difficult to dodge, he launched this fatal attack!

Unfortunately, she was just feeling a bit distracted because of some past events.

call out! !

At the cave entrance, a beam of pitch-black light, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, shot out like a spear of death from the deepest hell.

Ignoring spatial distance, it shot towards Li Qingjue's location in an instant.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the void vanished silently, and even the Great Dao seemed to be wailing. Everything tangible and intangible within the tunnel turned into nothingness!

The aura of death spread rapidly, making Li Qingjue feel it more clearly than ever before...

Even in such a desperate situation, Li Qingjue did not give up in the slightest.

Her gaze grew increasingly cold, and dark light surged around her as she pushed the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to its limit.

A blurry black hole instantly appeared behind him, attempting to move it in front of him to devour the destructive beam of light, perhaps diminishing some of its terrifying power.

At the same time, she unhesitatingly summoned the forbidden artifact she had used twice before, and held it in front of her.

But in this haste,

Faced with this long-planned, imminent, and deadly attack unleashed with a supreme artifact, her hastily made defenses seemed so pale and powerless.

laugh!

The beam of destruction first struck the broken bronze wheel.

At this moment, the wheel, which had previously exhausted almost all its divine power due to the great battle underground and the breaking of the coffin's seal, slowly emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

The existing cracks on it widened rapidly, and the divine light dimmed sharply.

It only held out for less than a breath before shattering completely, turning into countless bronze fragments!

The beam of light, though slightly less intense, remained terrifyingly powerful before slamming into the black hole in front of Li Qingjue.

boom!!!

The black hole twisted and vibrated violently, and before it could even hold on for a moment, it collapsed with a bang!

thump...

The remaining power of the destructive beam slammed solidly into Li Qingjue's arms, which he had crossed in front of him to block.

bang...

In an instant, Li Qingjue's body seemed to be struck by an ancient divine mountain.

She was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string, the blood she spat out turning into black ice crystals in the air.

crackling sounds...

At that moment, the bones in her arms cracked with a sickening sound, and gruesome wounds appeared on her skin.

The wound was shrouded in terrifying destructive principles, which began to frantically erode the life force within her body as soon as they appeared.

The supreme artifact is truly terrifying; upon its revival,

With just one blow, she was already severely injured!

Boom!!

The earth-shattering roar and terrifying shockwaves that came from near the exit of the tunnel exploded at the core of the entire "ruins" continent, as if the end of the world had arrived.

boom……

The supreme artifact's terrifying aura of resurgence, even though its divine power was unleashed within the tomb, still swept out like a tangible storm.

This caused the many cultivators who had previously emerged from the tomb and were still lingering on the continent to tremble violently, their expressions changing drastically.

"What's going on?!"
