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

Before he could finish speaking,

Li Qingjue's head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness. Only the tears that had just overflowed from his eyes suddenly rolled down, leaving a new, wet tear stain.

Tan Lin used his magic to support his figure.

His deep gaze fell upon the other man, sensing the stagnant and disordered energy within his body and the limited improvement in his severe injuries. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Wow!

Immediately afterwards, he unleashed another burst of divine power, remotely straightening the unconscious and limp body.

Then, with a large, controlled gesture, he moved his body to Shao Hanyun's side.

In response, Shao Hanyun glanced with an eerie light at the unconscious woman in the black dress, then looked at Tan Lin's calm profile.

Her red lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, or perhaps ask something.

But in the end, she remembered what the other party had said to her when they were on that forbidden ancient road, and she chose to suppress her curiosity and doubts and not ask a question.

After handing the unconscious Li Qingjue over to Shao Hanyun, Tan Lin said calmly:

“Watch over her for a moment.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Hanyun pursed her lips.

However, she still reached out and took Li Qingjue, who was enveloped in divine power, and supported him in her arms. At the same time, she used her magic power to quickly move away from the tomb, and then set up a layer of Daoist pattern halo around the two of them.

And after doing all this

Tan Lin then slowly turned around, his deep gaze like two invisible swords piercing through the void and landing on a corner outside the tunnel.

"Come out. There's no point in hiding anymore, Kunzhou."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Hearing these words from the distant crowd, they were momentarily disoriented, as if he were not a junior cultivator of this ancient era, but rather Kun Zhou was the junior...

hum!

As soon as he finished speaking, under the watchful eyes of everyone,

The void inside and outside the tunnel distorted slightly, forcing two figures to appear.

It was Kun Zhou and his nephew Di Que.

At this moment, the Great Sage of Kunzhou gazed upon the supreme array diagram radiating endless immortal light.

His eyes showed fear and apprehension, and his face was so dark it was almost dripping with gloom.

In his hands he held an ancient artifact shaped like a black alms bowl, its surface covered with countless strange patterns.

Although this artifact is not an ultimate weapon, judging from the aura it exudes, it must have been made by a supreme being. Calling it a supreme artifact is indeed not an exaggeration.

Da...da...

Di Que emerged from the depths of the tomb and stood beside Kun Zhou, his expression relatively calm.

But the supreme array diagram pressed down on the entire void, and his eyes were filled with solemnity at this moment.

After appearing, he connected with Kun Zhou's energy and, with his cultivation level that was faintly approaching the threshold of Quasi-Emperor, made a move to jointly activate the Supreme Artifact in front of him in order to contend with Tan Lin.

"The indestructible golden body... Tan Lin?!"

Forced to reveal himself, Kun Zhou's voice was hoarse:

"You are involved in too many secrets, which have already attracted the attention of some entities in the forbidden zones. I advise you not to 'meddle' in other people's business."

Let's leave it at that. We'll both leave now, as if nothing ever happened...

This is also your wisest choice...

He spoke with a fierce tone but a weak heart.

But as he spoke, the hand holding the supreme artifact trembled slightly.

Even with a supreme artifact blocking his way, he still felt a deadly threat when faced with the killing formation diagram of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable from the mythical era.

Upon hearing the voice, Tan Lin remained expressionless, saying calmly:

"You think you're qualified to negotiate with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thought stirred in his mind.

Wow!

In an instant, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram floating behind him suddenly shone brightly!

Countless profound killing patterns flowed out from the array diagram, instantly spreading and filling the space between heaven and earth, transforming into an invisible "net" that completely enveloped the core area of ​​the entire "ruins" continent, including the inside and outside of the tomb!

Boom!!

At this moment, the void near the entrance of the tunnel completely solidified, and the rumbling sound of the Great Dao faintly echoed, as if even time here was suppressed by the terrifying killing array's aura!

Upon seeing this, both Kun Zhou and Di Que's expressions changed drastically.

Because they discovered that at this very moment, all their connections with the outside world had been forcibly severed, and they could no longer even use the Supreme Artifact to escape into the void!

The area where they are located has been completely sealed off!

"you?!"

Kun Zhou was both shocked and furious; he hadn't expected Tan Lin to be so decisive.

They didn't even give us a chance to maneuver; they directly sealed off the heavens and earth with an array diagram. This is an attempt to wipe us out completely!

Regardless, the woman was not dead after all, and they still possessed a supreme artifact. It was uncertain whether the opponent could truly revive the array and unleash its unparalleled divine power.

Moreover, the reason why this scroll of spiritual treasure array diagram possesses such terrifying and fierce power that it has shaken the world is also inseparable from the four extreme killing swords such as Zhuxian and Luxian.

Without the Four Swords of Zhuxian in hand, even the strongest formation would struggle to unleash its true power.

If they choose to fight to the death, the final result will likely be a lose-lose situation, and the other side will certainly not fare any better!

"Uncle, things have come to this point, there is no other way but to fight."

Di Que took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

This situation was quite clear, making him deeply understand that things could not be resolved amicably today.

Faced with the ancient Celestial Venerable's array diagram, there is no escape; only a desperate fight may offer a glimmer of hope.

"Alright! Let's have a match then!"

Kun Zhou was also aroused, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He and Di Que exchanged a glance and exerted their strength at the same time.

boom!!!

At this moment, before the battle had fully erupted, both of them were playing without holding back from the very beginning.

They poured all their magical power, along with the massive amounts of divine energy they had shattered and the burning essence of various divine treasures, into the pitch-black alms bowl in front of them!

wow...

Instantly, the bowl-shaped supreme artifact trembled violently, and the dense patterns on its surface burst forth with dazzling dark light.

The next moment,

A terrifying supreme pressure, far exceeding anything before and seemingly capable of destroying the entire star field, suddenly erupted!

Rumble... Rumble...

On the vessel, a blurry, ferocious phantom faintly appeared, emitting a silent roar as it tried to break free of its restraints!

however,

Just as this supreme artifact was about to fully awaken and unleash a world-destroying attack.

hum! ! !

The spiritual treasure array diagram beside Tan Lin suddenly lit up completely!

At this moment, the array diagram solidified, no longer just a hazy corner as before.

Splash...

A complete, ancient, mottled supreme array diagram, covered with endless mysterious array patterns, slowly unfolded behind Tan Lin!

The moment the array was unfurled, the world lost its color, and the sun and moon lost their light!

The entire "ruins" continent was wailing and trembling violently!

Swish!

Endless killing sword energy bursts forth from the array, easily tearing apart the sky and shattering the void!

Immediately, an unparalleled killing aura, seemingly capable of slaying immortals and gods and annihilating all paths, surged through every inch of space near the tomb.

"Is it really a complete ancient Celestial Venerable's array diagram?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, some of the remaining heroes who were still watching from a distance screamed in horror.

Pfft!

Thump... Thump...

Even those separated by vast distances could only collapse or prostrate themselves on the ground under the immense pressure emanating from the array.

"It's over! This entire continent is probably going to be sunk!"

"Damn it... why can't I move my body?! I shouldn't have been so greedy!! What if I get caught in the crossfire..."

At this moment, the heroes felt an unprecedented surge of reluctance to retreat.

Even though the area sealed off by the array did not include their location, due to other factors, few people were able to escape as they wished.

Most people could only watch in despair as the overwhelming killing sword energy was about to unleash its earth-shattering power.

That feeling of having your life or death in someone else's hands in an instant is absolutely awful!

But compared to them,

Kun Zhou and Di Que, who were actually trapped under the array's seal, were the first to bear the brunt.

The former's face was ashen.

He could feel that the supreme artifact in his hand was actually trembling under the pressure of the complete ancient celestial being's killing array diagram that was now unleashed!

Even before they had truly clashed, the blurry phantom within the weapon had already shown the same sense of apprehension as they had, as if it had encountered its natural enemy!

"No! Impossible! Even if it is a true Celestial Venerable Array Diagram, how could a Supreme Artifact 'fear' it?! They were all created by Supremes..."

Outside the tomb, Kun Zhou roared in disbelief.

But life is full of disappointments, and that's exactly what's happening right now!

"town."

In the void, Tan Lin casually uttered a single word.

next moment,

The complete Zhuxian Formation Diagram trembled slightly.

Immediately, four different but equally refined sword energies, each containing a different supreme true meaning, shot out from the four corners of the array diagram, instantly transforming the area into a "simple" sword array.

boom……

In less than a moment, the sword formation enveloped Kun Zhou and Di Que, along with the supreme artifact they had jointly activated!

"Roar!!"

At this moment, the deity within the Supreme Artifact fully awakened, seemingly letting out a desperate roar, with blurry phantoms struggling frantically within it.

Its first reaction was not to do its utmost to resist the spiritual treasure array diagram, but to abandon Kun Zhou and the other two and escape by breaking through the void on its own.

but,

Its struggles seemed so futile under the sealing and obliteration of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

laugh!

Sizzle... Sizzle...

Once the sword formation was complete, countless subtle yet terrifying sword energies crisscrossed and cut across the battlefield.

The dark luster on the surface of that supreme artifact dimmed at a visible speed, and fine cracks began to appear on its body.

As time went on, the cracks on it became more numerous and deeper.
