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

"What is he trying to do? The killing formation hasn't been broken yet, but he's voluntarily walked out of it. Does this mean he's resigned to his fate, wanting to return to the heavens and not want his primordial spirit to be imprisoned by us and taken back to the forbidden zone to suffer torture?"

At this moment, all around were people sharpening their knives, ready to pounce.

The cultivators in the forbidden zone, who were paying a heavy price and repeatedly activating powerful artifacts to revive their power, were attempting to break through the "incomplete" killing formation's defenses in one fell swoop.

Upon seeing Tan Lin's action, everyone's movements and attacks faltered, their faces showing astonishment and anger:

"We can't let him die. He can fully revive the array and summon the four swords to merge with it. Even putting aside his connection with that Suiren Emperor, he definitely has a great secret!"

"Hehe, of course we won't let him die..."

"What's the point of entering the hijacking zone? We can simply use our secret techniques to block the hijacking senses. Once we're outside the killing array's range, what trouble can he possibly cause?"

"Gentlemen, watch me subdue him!!"

However, before any of them could give chase,

The next moment,

New developments have erupted here!

Just as Tan Lin stepped into the area of ​​the tribulation zone, his figure was engulfed by chaotic lightning and layers of "time-space waves,"

Rumble!!!

The terrifying heavenly tribulation, which had already reached its peak due to Li Qingjue's successive tribulations, now seemed as if a huge, red-hot divine iron had been thrown into a vast ocean.

The entire area instantly boiled over, and after a slight condensation, it suddenly "exploded"!

boom……

High above the Demon Emperor's Tomb, the boundless tribulation clouds, spanning tens of millions of square meters, expanded wildly once again, instantly engulfing the Pale Knight, the old woman, and others who were originally outside the tribulation zone into the forbidden area.

boom!!

The chaotic color deepened, and the scarlet "celestial light" within it writhed menacingly like blood vessels.

At the very top of the dome, the ancient celestial palace phantom was almost half solidified, and the palace gates suddenly burst open.

Boom!

thump... thump...

Suddenly, more, and seemingly more "vivid" and terrifying figures emerged from them.

The sheer power of the aura sent a chill down the spines of Yan Qing, Chu Jie, and the others who were trapped in the calamity, making their scalps tingle!

It was because they saw that Tan Lin, who had walked in on his own initiative, had just unleashed his full power without reservation!

The blood and qi in his body, like a galaxy that had been suppressed to the extreme, burst forth at this moment!

Boom!!

In an instant, a vast and pure divine power, seemingly containing the secrets of the universe's beginning and the differentiation of yin and yang, surged into the sky from within Tan Lin's indestructible golden body, accompanied by overwhelming blood and qi!

Its vital energy roared like a true dragon, shaking the universe; its divine power surged like a galaxy overturned, engulfing the eight wastelands!

His aura, which was originally at the mid-stage of the Great Sage realm, surged wildly as if riding a divine rainbow!

The Great Sage's Seventh Heaven!

The Great Sage, Eighth Heaven!

Peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Great Sage!

And that's not all!

To everyone's astonishment,

The opponent's rising momentum did not slow down at all before the threshold of Quasi-Emperor; on the contrary, it became even more ferocious, crashing hard into the natural barrier that separated the Great Sage from the Quasi-Emperor!

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a deafening roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of their very souls, exploded in the hearts of all the cultivators.

Tick!

tick... tick...

The leap across boundaries at once was too great. Tan Lin, who had spent years refining his understanding of "law and principle" and initially perfecting the scriptures, still had some unhealed wounds in his understanding of the Way that were now being stirred up.

Blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth at that moment.

He was not surprised by this.

His existing understanding of the Great Dao of Myriad Self and his level of creation are not yet sufficient for him to instantly reach the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Following his usual pace, the road ahead was rugged, with no precedents to follow, requiring him to proceed cautiously, taking one step at a time to see how to proceed next.

We need to proceed step by step; this is the right way.

The progress in cultivation at this moment is merely a result of piling up the insights into the Great Dao from the previous life.

Even so, his initial attainment of the Quasi-Emperor realm was already the limit for this lifetime. Pushing him further would affect his future path.

but,

This has already achieved its initial effect on the current situation.

boom!!

At the same time, the strange phenomena of Yin and Yang appeared around Tan Lin, with the two energies of Yin and Yang intertwining and evolving. A wisp of chaotic embryonic form floated above his head, as if creating the world!

His Sendai was glowing, his spine was roaring, and his body was undergoing a fundamental transformation!

At this moment, all the powerful enemies and heroes inside and outside the siege zone fell silent.

Clearly, no one expected that he would also be attempting to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Moreover, its range, from the middle stage of Great Saint to Quasi-Emperor, is even greater than that of the Devouring Heaven Maiden!

Rumble...

The tribulation clouds shifted and changed, and the tribulation zone expanded, encompassing almost all the cultivators in the forbidden zones.

However, those people, having learned from the mistakes of the forbidden zones like Chu Jie, were constantly on guard. Although they had not yet entered the calamity zone, they immediately used their secret techniques and did not take anything for granted.

However, this is particularly difficult for those who were forced to undergo tribulation in the tribulation zone from the very beginning.

When the Heavenly Tribulation erupted, Li Qingjue was able to barely hold on, while others struggled to cope. The difference between people was immediately apparent.

"Was all of this planned by him?"

Mo Zhu struggled to withstand the attack of an ancient celestial being's phantom within the sea of ​​lightning.

He sensed Tan Lin's rapidly rising aura; in a short time, although he was only at the first step of the Quasi-Emperor realm, his powerful aura was almost comparable to Li Qingjue's.

And the even more monstrous heavenly tribulation that was triggered by this caused his expression to instantly turn extremely ugly.

"Damn it! We can't let the Heavenly Tribulation change completely, that would be too terrifying. We'd be forced to undergo the tribulation, and we have no hope of surviving to the end. We must nip the 'source' in the bud!"

Not far away, Chu Jie was also both shocked and furious.

Unlike the Pale Knight and other later arrivals, they were initially overconfident, and although they also possessed secret techniques that could circumvent the Heavenly Tribulation's lock to some extent,

However, since the plane had already been targeted by hijackers, it would be of little use now.

The intrusion of that indestructible golden body at this moment triggered a heavenly tribulation that was already extraordinary. Combined with Li Qingjue's tribulation, it caused further complications.

Furthermore, because there were more than ten quasi-emperors exposed within the calamity zone, the power increased by more than several times!

"Quick! While his aura has just exploded, the signs of the heavenly tribulation have just appeared, and the tribulation lightning has not yet descended, let's join forces to kill him!"

As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Yan Qing's eyes.

Wow!

Before he finished speaking, ignoring the thick, chaotic lightning bolt striking him, he spread his demonic wings and transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Tan Lin.

He realized that this indestructible golden body was the absolute key to everything here, whether it was the array diagram, the heavenly tribulation that was changing at this moment, or the Devouring Goddess.

Once the enemy is suppressed, this mission will be over.

"kill!"

boom!!

At this moment, the Stone Saint Spirit, the Golden War Puppet, and other Quasi-Emperors from the forbidden zones who were originally on the edge of the calamity zone and less affected by the heavenly tribulation, were all present.

Now that the hijacking zone has expanded, they have inevitably become one of the main targets of the hijackers' inner circle.

Seeing that Tan Lin had just entered the robbery zone and was almost within arm's reach of them, they all immediately turned their attention to Li Qingjue and temporarily abandoned their interference with him.

Bang! !

Boom... Boom...

In an instant, all sorts of terrifying killing moves rained down on Tan Lin, who had entered the tribulation zone and remained motionless, seemingly still adapting to and breaking through the barrier to his realm!

however,

They're fast, but someone reacts even faster!

Just as Tan Lin stepped into the tribulation zone, his aura erupted, triggering a sudden change in the heavenly tribulation.

Li Qingjue, who had been constantly at the center of the Thunder Sea, dealing with several ancient celestial illusory figures and several forbidden zone disciples,

Suddenly, an unprecedented divine light burst forth from her lonely and fierce eyes!

That light revealed an extreme calmness and...killing intent!

There seemed to be an unspoken, unspoken understanding between the master and his apprentice.

At this moment, without any further communication, she cooperated with the actions.

Or perhaps, she had been waiting for this moment all along?

Waiting for their master's possible move at any moment.

Are we waiting for this moment when these forbidden zones, affected by the heavenly tribulation, will be shaken and their attacks will momentarily become chaotic?

"Devouring the Heavens!"

Immediately, a clear and melodious shout resounded throughout the sea of ​​thunder.

wow...

The surging dark demonic energy surrounding Li Qingjue suddenly subsided.

The illusory image of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, formed from the primordial essence of countless different species above her head, instantly solidified.

The bottle was aimed at the golden war puppet from the Samsara Sea, whose combat power was almost at the high-level quasi-emperor level, and who was the furthest away from her but had revealed a slight flaw because of his attack on Tan Lin!

This golden war puppet is in a very special state. It doesn't seem like a real living being. In some aspects, it has become less intelligent, but its divine power is astonishing.

It had just been forced to undergo tribulation, and was exchanging blows with a phantom of a Heavenly Venerable with a punch. The punch had not yet stopped, and no new power had been generated.

boom!

At the same time, as the calamity zone expanded, the spirit treasure killing array, which had also been submerged within the range of the heavenly calamity, seemed to be driven by someone. In a moment, the killing array area was instantly rearranged and moved to the vicinity of the golden war puppet.

Boom! !

The formation was fully restored. Even though the killing formation was incomplete without the support of the four swords, it still easily dealt a heavy blow to the golden war puppet!

click... click...

Amidst the surging, endless killing intent, the golden war puppet's body cracked and let out a furious roar.

hum...

Immediately afterwards, the jet-black mouth of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle erupted with an indescribable power of devouring.

That was not a simple suction force, but a terrifying manifestation of the Dao, as if it would devour even fragments of the Dao, the original essence, and even the true blood of the being itself!

However, no matter how strong the suction force was, if it had been used just now, it would have been extremely difficult to pose a threat to the golden war puppet. But now the situation is completely different.

bang...

The golden war puppet, already weakened by its battle against the illusory image of the ancient celestial being, is now further severely injured by the suppression of the spiritual treasure killing array.

Its massive body stiffened abruptly, the dark golden divine light flowing across its surface, the surging quasi-emperor-level divine power within its body, and even the imperial runes imprinted deep within its shell...

At this moment, they all uncontrollably left the body, eventually turning into streams of dazzling light, which were forcibly pulled toward the black hole-like mouth of the bottle!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The Pale Knight and his group had just entered the hijacking zone and were busy casting secret spells to evade the hijackers' lock-on, while the others had just turned their attention to...
