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

Before he finished speaking, the Spirit Treasure Array Diagram transformed into a stream of light, instantly traversing the vast sea of ​​lightning and appearing above Li Qingjue's head, unleashing beams of killing immortal light that were slightly weaker than before but still resilient.

wow...

At that moment, the [Barrier of All Causes] that had been surrounding Li Qingjue vanished with a roar.

Tan Lin sensed an obscure aura through the [Reverse·All Causes Vision], seemingly groping in reverse along these unknowable and unverifiable "traces," and thus decisively chose to withdraw.

however,

Without the protection of the array, he was truly exposed to the heavenly tribulation and surrounded by enemies, attracting the attention of most of them.

"Very well, we were just worried about you hiding in that 'turtle shell.' We didn't know how much we would have to pay to activate our ancient imperial weapons before we could finally take you down..."

Upon seeing this, Chu Jie was greatly encouraged. As his body was shattered by the phantom of an ancient celestial being, he urged the heavy weapon in his hand to prepare for the next fatal blow.

Although he was undergoing tribulation, he was not afraid of Li Qingjue, who possessed the spiritual treasure array diagram, coming after him.

The power of that array was clearly reduced, and the evolution and arrangement of the killing array also took time. It was impossible to reproduce the previous divine power in a short time. Moreover, he now possessed the Supreme Ancient Emperor Weapon that had returned to his hands.

No matter how strong that formation is, without four killing swords, the killing formation cannot be set up properly, and its offensive power is also ordinary. It is impossible for it to kill him instantly, who also has an ancient imperial weapon, right?

What is there to fear?!

If the other party really comes looking for him, it will be just right to restrain them, turning the variable into a temporary fixed state. On the other hand, it will be a piece of cake for the others to deal with an indestructible golden body that has lost the protection of the array diagram.

shuh...

The moment his body was reassembled, he deliberately created an opening to lure the other party into a trap, but unfortunately, Li Qingjue had already found someone else.

not far away,

The pupils of the "Shadow" Quasi-Emperor, whose origins were unknown, suddenly contracted at this moment.

He sensed a murderous aura locking onto him.

He reacted extremely quickly and also possessed the secret of the Word "Xing" (行), intending to escape instantly.

But Li Qingjue simply held the array diagram in her hand and gently clenched her delicate hand towards the void.

"Certainly."

It's almost as if his words became law!

It wasn't a true Daoist mantra, but rather she used the immense power of the array diagram, along with the absolute rank and energy within it, to forcibly solidify the spatial structure of that area for a fleeting moment.

At the same time, as she entered the third level of Quasi-Emperor, before her cultivation aura could stabilize and become "floating," she attracted a trace of chaotic heavenly tribulation lightning that was heading towards her and merged into it.

clatter……

The shadowy figure was forcibly "squeezed" out from its escape route.

Although the pause was only momentary, it was enough for a battle of this level.

boom!

next interest.

A palm print shrouded in chaotic energy struck first, landing on Youying's chest.

Silently

The shadowy figure, also at the third level of Quasi-Emperor cultivation, had its slightly illusory body erased as if by an eraser, quickly turning into nothingness after the palm struck.

Only a sudden, incredulous groan remained, followed by a burst of pure, powerful energy that was once again devoured by Li Qingjue.

"The third one."

Her voice remained calm and still, without any fluctuation, as if she were counting insignificant numbers.

In the blink of an eye, only three breaths had passed.

A golden war puppet that could almost challenge a high-level quasi-emperor for two moves, a stone holy spirit that was "invincible" among its peers, and a quasi-emperor skilled in stealth and whose origins were elusive—all fell one after another!

The very source has been completely devoured!

Seeing this scene,

Yu Changxianying, who was outside the calamity zone, frowned slightly, because even she had not figured out anything about Li Qingjue's extremely strange stealth technique.

Even if the person currently here is not her true self, but...

wow...

In the sea of ​​thunder, Li Qingjue accepted all comers without hesitation, devouring the three massive primordial energies through the Great Dao Treasure Bottle condensed from his own dark demonic energy, and then initially refining them with special fragments of the Dao.

boom……

The aura emanating from her body rose once more, as if riding a divine rainbow.

However, the Quasi-Emperor realm is no longer what it used to be.

She has overcome numerous tribulations and has reached her limit today.

If she were to force an improvement further, she would exhaust the foundation she had built up over the years. Given the uncertain future of her self-created "Devouring Heaven Demon Art," her foundation would be unstable and her cultivation unstable. She would only suffer a backlash, and her cultivation might even decline instead of advance.

To some extent, her situation was surprisingly similar to Tan Lin's.

Time, what they ultimately lack is time.

Even with many more years of cultivation, she has only been on the path of cultivation for less than two hundred years.

In fact, even with her extraordinary talent, the speed at which her cultivation is progressing means she hasn't had much time to review her previous realms. And if she wants to achieve enlightenment in the future, this step will be indispensable.

Rumble...

The tribulation clouds above Li Qingjue's head churned wildly, and the third Quasi-Emperor Tribulation had begun to manifest!

After the Chaos Heavenly Palace merged with the Heavenly Tribulation triggered by Tan Lin, it appeared even more solid. The Heavenly Venerable phantom that emerged now possessed an even more solid and "dynamic" aura.

In addition, there were even faint signs of divine birds and beasts that had taken the form of lightning tribulations!

As for Tan Lin, who had survived several major tribulations, after wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth caused by the flare-up of his Dao injury, he also faced his own Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.

boom!!!

An incredibly terrifying pillar of chaotic lightning crashed down, completely engulfing him!

Inside the lightning pillar, it seemed as if the creation of the world was unfolding.

"Monsters! They're all monsters... but thankfully, it should all be over..."

Mo Zhu slowly took a deep breath. He was forced to undergo tribulation, exchanging a blow with a phantom of a Celestial Venerable, and was sent flying backward coughing up blood.

However, after regaining his footing, he was met by the Pale Knights and others who entered the tribulation zone. With secret techniques concealing them and to some extent ignoring the heavenly tribulation, they were prepared and attacked Tan Lin.

The wheel is rolling... the wheel is rolling...

The bone dragon chariot pierced through a corner of the sea of ​​lightning, unleashing boundless light with overwhelming force.

A few wisps of supreme aura emanated from the ancient staff in the old woman's hand...

Swish!

Swish...swish...

At this moment, almost all the killing intent in the arena was locked onto Tan Lin, who was undergoing his tribulation.

however,

Just as Chu Jie and his group were recovering from the immense cost they had just paid to break through the array barrier with their Supreme Ancient Emperor Weapon,

This time, the victory was secured by the Pale Knight and others who entered the raiding zone later.

Another strange change has occurred here!

Within the pillar of lightning, Tan Lin's body was constantly being destroyed and reassembled, tempering himself, while a wisp of his mind wandered freely.

laugh……

Within the Soul Pearl of All Causes, the eighth deep crimson light spot has only half of its firefly energy remaining, with another 10% being consumed.

hum!

In an instant, the dark causal threads belonging to the Pale Knight and others on the Soul Orb barrier were "stirred".

The next moment,

An invisible and intangible strange fluctuation spread silently from Tan Lin's center.

The fluctuation was so slight that it didn't even cause any energy ripples or leave any trace.

But at this moment,

wow...

The Pale Knight, the old woman, and the others, having made thorough preparations, were able to move freely within the tribulation zone without needing to worry too much about the heavenly tribulation's bombardment.

At this moment, the mysterious aura, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, that was used to evade the hijacking lock on everyone's body, rippled abnormally on the surface of a lake as if a stone had been thrown in.

immediately,

Under the horrified gazes of Yan Qing and the others, the "protective coloration" on these people quickly vanished!

"What happened? My 'Heaven-Avoiding Pattern' has failed?!"

"The secret technique I used also..."

"Oh no! Heavenly tribulation... the hijacker has locked onto me!"

Boom!!

Rumble... Rumble...

Almost at the same time,

The heavenly tribulation here was "equal for all," bringing calamity upon everyone.

Dozens of chaotic lightning bolts fell simultaneously, each of them different from the others, clearly a tribulation specifically sent down to those affected, not those who were directly involved.

Furthermore, the ancient celestial beings that emerged from the Chaos Heavenly Palace, some of them with a surge of aura, also changed direction, carrying overwhelming battle intent, and rushed towards these people!

"No!"

Due to the expansion of the tribulation zone, a supreme saint who was originally guarding the outer barrier and sealing the node was caught off guard and swept by the aftershock of a scarlet tribulation light.

Before he could even scream, his entire body, along with his primordial spirit, turned to ashes, his Dao principles dissipated, and he returned to the world.

"what!!!"

The pale knight was grazed on the shoulder by a pillar of chaotic lightning, instantly turning his flesh into a bloody mess, coughing up blood, and his life force weakened considerably.

The old woman and the others were also in a sorry state.

This sudden action caused their offensive to pause, forcing them to stop.

"Who is it?! Who's behind this?!"

"Who did this? Step forward!!"

A cultivator from a forbidden zone coughed up blood and roared in fury.

hum...

Invisible ripples surged.

Even the secret techniques that Mo Zhu and the others used, which were of little use to begin with but which they insisted on maintaining in order to avoid being "attacked" by the heavenly tribulation, all suddenly became ineffective.

They had been struck by several bolts of lightning, and their energy became even weaker.

"It's you!!"

"It must be you, right..."

"The secrets you hold are far greater than we imagine. Your connection with that Suiren Emperor is undoubtedly extensive, and certainly not limited to..."

Swish!

The cultivators from the forbidden zone were completely bewildered, and at this moment, they were all in a sorry state with their eyes wide with rage.

Finally, they all stared intently at Lei Haizhong, and Tan Lin seemed to have looked up and "glanced" at them.

There were no other outsiders present. Although it seemed unbelievable, it could only have been done by the other party!

Otherwise, it couldn't possibly be the Immortal Queen who temporarily intercepted the Four Swords of Zhuxian for them, could it?

Tan Lin made no comment on this.

He seemed to have done something insignificant, and then silently endured his own even more terrifying baptism of chaotic lightning.
