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

In other words, there was indeed no need for it at that time.

Even in his remnant soul stage, traces of his past life's Dao still linger in the world. If he can harden his heart, he can briefly return to his peak at any time.

He needs to prioritize using his limited resources where they are most needed, otherwise, in case of an emergency, even fireflies won't be enough for reincarnation.

However, times have changed. Now, almost all traces of his past life have vanished completely. Without the "medium," it's impossible for him to reconstruct his past life's Dao fruit.

To accomplish this out of thin air would require vastly different resources.

He had previously estimated that at least five or more deep crimson glow points would be needed to attempt the experiment.

And now, he undoubtedly has enough experience and resources.

As of now, there are approximately eight deep crimson markings glowing on the Soul Bead barrier.

The only concern with doing this is that those in the restricted areas are not completely oblivious to what's going on outside, nor are they fools.

Once he defied the heavens and instantly reconstituted his Dao Fruit, the aura of the ultimate Dao reappeared, "from nothing to something," truly returning flawlessly.

The implications of this are self-evident.

For some beings, this might be even more tempting than entering the Immortal Realm and becoming an immortal!

At that time, the attention of the immortal emperor undergoing Nirvana and the emperor who is currently making arrangements somewhere might be drawn to this place.

Of course, at this point in time, the latter possibility is extremely low, almost impossible.

However, he still needs to take these uncontrollable factors into account; otherwise, once it becomes a habit, it's very easy to go astray.

"We can't do this until the very last moment..."

Tan Lin thought to himself silently.

And almost simultaneously

boom!

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty,

Amidst the vast, celestial light that stretched across the universe, a peerless, ethereal figure draped in a hazy feathered robe slowly coalesced and emerged outside the barrier.

The celestial figure was not a true physical manifestation, but merely an incarnation of divine thought.

But even so,

The imperial majesty that it exuded, seemingly overlooking all ages and capable of ruling the eight wastelands, still weighed heavily on the hearts of everyone present, as if they were facing an insurmountable immortal mountain.

shuh...

The Immortal Queen's gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of barriers and the chaotic clouds of tribulation within the arena.

Her gaze lingered for a moment on Li Qingjue within the tribulation clouds, a strange light flashing across her eyes.

Immediately, her attention turned to the figure in the array, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression as calm as an ancient well, unmoved by her arrival.

"An interesting little guy..."

The Immortal Empress, in her guise, parted her red lips slightly, her voice, like celestial music, yet carrying supreme majesty, resonating clearly in the hearts of the cultivators present:

"The Yin and Yang energies, practicing together, and looking at it up close, one sees more and more of 'that person's' shadow."

Little one, this magical killing formation is too murderous, it violates the laws of nature, and the karmic consequences involved are too numerous, too great, and too complex. You can't handle it.

Why don't you proactively hand it over to me along with the 'spell', and I'll keep it safe for you? In that case, I can guarantee your safety this time..."

She spoke eloquently.

You can't tell if someone is happy or angry from their words, nor can you tell how much of it is true or false, or if they are just stating a trivial matter.

Intercepting the Four Swords of Zhuxian was just a casual matter for her.

With this remark,

The cultivators in the forbidden zone, whose hearts were already tense due to this unexpected turn of events, felt their hearts sink even deeper.

"Store it? I suggest you get more sleep; you can dream about anything."

Without a second thought, Tan Lin directly made a sarcastic remark.

As he spoke, he slowly stretched his muscles and bones, and in the course of his thoughts, he had already made the worst-case scenario plan.

"Heh, if that's the case, why don't you all make your move?"

Upon hearing this, the Undying Empress was not annoyed. She chuckled and then took a step forward, ignoring the blockade, and entered the arena, gesturing to the surrounding cultivators in the forbidden area.

Upon seeing this, the people were first taken aback, then overjoyed.

"I will not bully the weak, ten breaths!"

The Undying Empress's incarnation swept her gaze indifferently over the jubilant cultivators from the forbidden zones, her tone detached:

"My true form is outside, only able to delay those four swords for ten breaths."

If you cannot subdue these two within ten breaths, you are incompetent.

After ten breaths, whether to stay or leave is up to fate.

These words silenced the entire audience, and the heroes in the distant sky fell silent.

Ten breaths?!

For mortals in the mundane world, this time is as fleeting as a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

But for a quasi-emperor level being, it is enough to do a lot of things, especially when the opponent's biggest trump card is revealed, but then they are briefly "out of power".

That's enough!

Mo Zhu roared amidst the calamity clouds, his eyes flashing with cold light:

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty! We will capture these two scoundrels within ten breaths!"

"Everyone, what are we waiting for? Let's not tolerate any losses, let's focus all our efforts on reviving the powerful artifacts and suppress that indestructible golden body first!"

Chu Jie also shouted coldly, as he was forced to undergo tribulation, and with a forced effort, he managed to throw the Holy Light Divine Sword, which he couldn't fully utilize due to the tribulation, out of the tribulation zone.

Whoosh!

The divine sword erupted with unprecedented brilliance, and along the way, the supreme imperial might had already awakened and burst forth.

this moment,

The old woman, the pale knight, and several other quasi-emperors who possessed supreme artifacts, forbidden artifacts, or imitations of ultimate heavy artifacts, did not hesitate any longer and sprinkled their true blood onto their respective magical weapons.

They chanted ancient incantations to connect with it.

He spared no expense in expending his vital energy and lifespan, while simultaneously shattering numerous divine treasures and dissipating his innate essence, determined to unleash the full power of his weapon to its limit in a short period of time!

boom!!

Boom...

For a time,

High above the Demon Emperor's Tomb, streams of imperial aura surged into the sky, intertwining and causing the heavens to tremble.

Although the divine power unleashed by some of these powerful artifacts was far less than the full power of a true ancient imperial weapon when fully revived, it still reached an extremely terrifying level.

Wow!

A phantom of a white bone spear wreathed in death energy materialized from the pale knight's chariot, with another figure wielding the spear appearing and disappearing on it.

At the top of the old woman's wooden staff with its human head, green will-o'-the-wisps transformed into a hideous, gaping maw.

The pitch-black halberd in Mo Zhu's hand seemed to come alive, emitting a dark light that could extinguish the stars.

The holy sword that Chu Jie threw out transformed into a blazing white sun that judges all "heretics" in the world...

this moment,

Several powerful artifacts containing ultimate laws were forcibly enhanced in their recovery level.

The combined force exuded a powerful pressure that penetrated the sealing barrier, causing all the heavens and myriad realms to tremble. The very Dao seemed to be wailing, and many cultivators in the distant sky were paralyzed, their primordial spirits on the verge of shattering.

"Indestructible Golden Body! Devouring Goddess! It's time to end this..."

The old woman grinned maliciously as she swung her wooden staff with the human head. The gray-green beam of death became ten times more powerful, now accompanied by the howls of countless vengeful spirits, and aimed directly at Tan Lin.

The Pale Knight rode a chariot drawn by bone dragons, and nine bone dragons roared in unison.

The exhaled deathly dragon breath merged into one, transforming into a destructive torrent that was pale white with a hint of dark gold, following closely behind.

boom……

All around, the attacks of the other heavy weapons also rained down, their target being Tan Lin, who was located in the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram!

Within these ten breaths, they will use absolute power to completely destroy the array's defenses and suppress Tan Lin!

And in place,

Faced with this terrifying siege, which could instantly cripple even a high-level quasi-emperor, or even cause their certain demise,

The Spirit Treasure Array Diagram evolved into a killing formation, rotating autonomously, its celestial light surging.

The four illusory sword shadows trembled violently as they desperately tried to resist.

However, since the four swordsmen's true forms had not yet arrived, the killing formation was incomplete.

Faced with the siege of multiple supreme artifacts whose power had been forcibly elevated to near the peak of the Quasi-Emperor level, the immortal light barrier hanging from the array diagram began to shake violently, rippling outwards, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Ultimately, it relies solely on its own strength. If it were currently in the hands of a high-ranking quasi-emperor, the situation might be different.

But unfortunately not if.

however,

Tan Lin, amidst the killing formation, remained terrifyingly calm.

He didn't even look at the impending destructive attacks.

Instead, she slowly raised her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of killing intent, and met the divine thought avatar of the Undying Empress in the distance.

His eyes were as deep and unfathomable as an ancient pool, devoid of joy or sorrow, as if all the crises before him were nothing more than an insignificant breeze.

next moment,

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, including the forbidden zone cultivators who were launching a frenzied attack, Tan Lin made a move.

He neither chose to confront it head-on nor tried to evade it.

He only took one step.

clatter……

This step, seemingly casual, is actually extremely subtle, as if it coincides with some kind of opportune moment...

Wow!

In an instant, his figure swayed slightly in place and vanished directly from the protection of the spirit treasure array.

When they reappeared, they had already stepped into the core area of ​​that chaotic and turbulent place, where lightning tribulations raged and the Forbidden Zone Master and Li Qingjue were fiercely fighting while undergoing their tribulations!

"He's gone mad?!"

A cultivator in the distance cried out in alarm.

Step out from the protected area of ​​the Spirit Treasure Killing Array

Without using secret techniques to conceal their aura or avoid being detected as a hijacker, they intruded into the area where someone was undergoing a quasi-emperor tribulation.

Especially within the terrifying Chaos Heavenly Palace Tribulation of the "Devouring Goddess," it's tantamount to courting death!

Once it enters the tribulation zone, the tribulation will instantly lock onto it as a target, although the tribulation varies from person to person.

However, if they don't restrain their aura at all, or if they get too close, like those two quasi-emperors from the forbidden zone before, they will inevitably "bump into" or "collide".

Even given the ever-changing nature of this Chaotic Heavenly Palace Tribulation, it wouldn't be surprising if any "accidents" occurred.

In fact, in everyone's eyes, just a little bit of the tribulation power would be enough to blast this indestructible golden body into dust, leaving not a trace!

It should be noted that he was merely a mid-level Great Saint, still three levels away from the pinnacle of Great Sainthood, let alone the quasi-Emperor chasm that lay between them!

Moreover, within the current tribulation zone, Li Qingjue has undergone several tribulations in succession, and his aura has instantly reached the second level of Quasi-Emperor. There seems to be no sign of him stopping, and a new and more terrifying tribulation is brewing.
