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

After calming down,

Shao Hanyun's dark golden, eerie eyes regained their former sharpness and composure.

She looked around and began to examine this legendary burial site of the demon king.

The depths of the Demon Emperor's Tomb are completely different from the grim and gloomy atmosphere of the outside.

This place is more like an ancient shrine forgotten by time.

The dome is high and distant, adorned with the phantom images of stars, casting a hazy starlight.

The ground was paved with an unknown type of jade, warm and smooth, untouched by dust for thousands of years.

Huge, coiled dragon-shaped stone pillars support the ceiling, their scales lifelike, their eyes seemingly watching the intruders.

The air was filled with a dense aura of demonic energy and spiritual power.

However, this "demonic energy" was not chaotic or disordered, but rather a refined and powerful array of patterns and principles, carrying a majestic and awe-inspiring imperial aura.

It was as if an unparalleled demon emperor still slept here, his aura never dissipating throughout the ages.

Da...da...

Her long, slender legs moved beneath her red dress as she continued to slowly venture deeper into the depths, her delicate white feet adorned with a pair of enchanting, divinely patterned shoes.

Further away,

The palaces and pavilions stretched out in a continuous line, their forms appearing and disappearing in the hazy mist, making them difficult to see clearly.

But one could vaguely see divine light soaring into the sky, Daoist rhymes flowing, and countless illusory images of celestial birds and beasts soaring and neighing in the mist, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Due to the earth-shattering commotion that occurred outside the tomb earlier, most of the restrictions in the tomb have now been broken, and the remaining array patterns and field fluctuations have become dim and lost their original power.

This allowed Shao Hanyun to penetrate deeper into the area more safely.

She concealed her aura, suppressing her demonic power fluctuations to the minimum, and moved like a red phantom through the empty and desolate palace.

Along the way, she saw many more amazing sights.

There is a plaza paved with fragments of stars, a pond with a divine spring that nurtures long-withered "immortal lotuses," and more...

Every corner seems to showcase the supreme majesty and profound heritage of the former Demon Emperor, but at the same time, it also speaks of the ruthlessness of time.

Shao Hanyun did not linger in these places.

Her intuition told her that true destiny lay deeper within.

Da...da...

I don't know how long we walked.

After passing through an ancient corridor that was nearly half collapsed, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

It was an incredibly vast flat area, as if formed by an immense force that had flattened the mountains.

At the end of the flat land lies a deep, ancient cave whose destination is unknown.

The ancient cave has no entrance; only a misty, chaotic aura emanates from its opening, as if connecting to another world.

In front of the ancient cave, on a relatively open area of ​​ground,

hold head high! !

Suddenly,

A vast, ancient, and majestic dragon roar suddenly rang out. It was not a real sound, but rather it directly affected the depths of her soul!

Strange phenomena suddenly occurred.

This caused Shao Hanyun's pupils to contract sharply.

Her hair stood on end, and she felt a shiver and... intimacy emanating from the depths of her blood?

In the void ahead, endless Dao patterns intertwined, and dazzling divine light converged, eventually condensing into an enormous phantom.

That's a dragon!

A true, pure-blooded... Celestial Dragon!

It is not a physical entity, but rather an image imprinted in time and space, or a manifestation of the imperial laws that remain in this place.

The dragon's body was thousands of feet long, covered with golden scales, each as large as a millstone, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.

The dragon's horns, like forked ancient trees, pointed towards the sky; its whiskers swayed; and its eyes, like two silver moons, were cold and majestic, looking down upon the tiny intruders below.

Although it was just a phantom

But the overwhelming dragon's might was real and undeniable, vast and boundless, filling the heavens and earth.

It was as if a living mythical dragon had descended upon this place, intending to judge all those who had desecrated the imperial tomb.

"The Demon Emperor... Dao traces manifested? No, that's not right. It should be a dragon that once followed the Demon Emperor, whose cultivation may have reached the end of the Quasi-Emperor realm back then..."

Shao Hanyun was shaken.

She possessed a noble lineage and inherited a bloodline. Later, within the Northern Divine Cult, she had access to numerous ancient texts. Furthermore, thanks to Tan Lin, she was able to glimpse the ancient images captured within the remnants of the Human Emperor's Stele.

They obtained many secrets from ancient times.

She naturally knew that the original form of the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing was not actually a dragon, but rather an ordinary demon who had mistakenly eaten the Demon God Flower.

But ultimately, relying on that demon god flower and perhaps his extraordinary talent, he underwent continuous transformation, eventually transforming into a dragon and defying the heavens to achieve enlightenment, becoming an unparalleled demon emperor!

The illusory figure before them was in the form of a celestial dragon, and its dazzling golden quality was fundamentally different from the legendary dragon-transformation characteristics of the Demon Emperor.

Moreover, it did not emanate any supreme pressure, so it could not possibly be the manifestation of that being's Dao traces.

boom……

Ahead, the illusory dragon did not attack, but simply coiled in front of the ancient cave, its dragon eyes indifferently watching Shao Hanyun, as if scrutinizing something.

Shao Hanyun held her breath, silently circulating the Heavenly Demon Power within her body, extremely vigilant.

She wasn't sure if the phantom was a remnant of a protective barrier, or some kind of...

Time passes little by little.

The enormous phantom of the celestial dragon simply watched her silently, without making any move.

But the invisible pressure grew heavier and heavier, making it difficult for Shao Hanyun to breathe.

The space around her seemed to freeze, and dark golden demonic patterns appeared on their own, flowing across her body to resist the oppressive force.

Just as she was considering whether to avoid it for a while,

thump...

The illusory image of the celestial dragon suddenly moved!

It wasn't an attack; rather, the entire massive dragon body began to blur and become transparent.

Ultimately, it transformed into countless points of light, like a sky full of stars scattered across the heavens, slowly dissipating into the air.

It's as if its sole purpose is to manifest itself here, to instill fear in those who come after, or... to confirm some kind of qualification.

As the phantom faded, so too did the terrifying dragon's might.

Shao Hanyun breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her vigilance did not lessen in the slightest.

Her gaze passed over the spot where the illusory figure disappeared and landed on the deep, ancient cave behind her.

The ancient cave remains, its primordial energy still rising and falling.

But in front of the entrance to the ancient cave, on the ground tens of thousands of feet away from her, she saw something.

It was a pool of...blood.

The bloodstains had dried, revealing a dark, silvery-red color, as if mixed with the luster of glass, like the solidified color of silver and ruby ​​melted together.

It doesn't take up much space, about the size of a washbasin, and it sits quietly on the jade floor.

The ages have passed, yet it remains untouched by dust, with a faint radiance still flowing within.

But the moment Shao Hanyun saw the pool of blood, her heart skipped a beat!

boom……

At that moment, as if sensing the approach of outsiders, an indescribable, terrifying pressure arose, like a slumbering prehistoric beast suddenly awakening, or like the entire starry sky crashing down.

In an instant, a tremendous explosion erupted from the pool of blood!

"Uh……"

Shao Hanyun let out a muffled groan, her beautiful body under the red dress trembling violently, as if she had been hit hard in the chest by an invisible divine mountain.

Dark golden demonic patterns flashed wildly around her body as she tried to resist, but in the face of this oppressive force, her cultivation at the peak of the Saint King realm seemed so insignificant and powerless.

Pfft!

Her knees buckled and she collapsed to her knees!

click... click...

The jade floor beneath her feet was worn smooth by her footsteps, leaving two clear indentations with cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

This is not killing intent, not hostility, and not some other kind of targeting; it is simply the purest and most fundamental... imperial pressure!

Faced with such oppressive power, all beings are equal.

This is an absolute crushing on the level of life, a natural suppression on the level of the Great Dao!

It's like an ant facing a dragon, or a blade of grass gazing up at the stars.

"Demon Emperor...blood?!"

Shao Hanyun gritted her teeth.

Her dark golden eyes were fixed on the pool of blood, and she squeezed out three words through gritted teeth.

Tick!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and slid down her beautiful cheeks.

The bones inside his body creaked under the strain, and his internal organs churned.

This pool of true blood, even after countless ages, has had most of its divine power erased by time.

But the remaining trace of imperial aura is still enough to make any Great Sage bow down and make a Quasi-Emperor tremble!

"Try to stand up..."

Just then, in the area where she had previously encountered the phantom of the Heavenly Dragon, a faint, ethereal voice rang in her ears.

Upon hearing this, Shao Hanyun was initially startled, but then, as if realizing something, she was overjoyed.

In truth, her temperament, so different from that of ordinary prodigies, did not concern her with such formalities.

So what if I kneel?

The other party was a demon emperor. As a senior, her cultivation was far inferior to his, so kneeling down was not shameful.

However, if this is a golden opportunity, she will definitely seize it!

"Ho..."

Thinking of this, she let out a low shout, and her long silver hair moved without wind, each strand standing on end.

At this moment, the secret realm within her body roared, the sea of ​​suffering churned, the deities of the Dao Palace chanted scriptures, the four poles supported the sky, a dragon leaped and soared, and the Immortal Platform shone with divine light!

She pushed the power of her Azure Dragon bloodline to its limit, and the dark golden demonic patterns seemed to come alive, weaving together on her body to form an ancient and mysterious totem.

Standing there, her vital energy and demonic power surged to the heavens.

In the end, it transformed into a blurry, red and gold phantom of a blue dragon, coiling around its body and letting out a silent roar at the pool of imperial blood.

She tried, little by little, with great difficulty, to straighten her spine.

A crackling sound exploded inside Shao Hanyun's body, and her body, which had been almost prostrate on the ground, began to straighten up.
