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

Even after countless ages, the residual pressure within the imperial blood remains as vast as an abyss and as heavy as the sky.

No matter how much she urged her demonic power and burned her essence, she could only barely lift her head. To stand up completely was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

She was like someone carrying the entire blue sky on her back; every inch she lifted required immense effort.

Just as she was struggling against the emperor's blood pressure, her mind and body stretched to their limits...

hum!

The dark, shimmering bloodstain suddenly shone brightly!

boom……

Then,

The blood seemed to come alive, rising from the ground and slowly wriggling in the air!

In the blink of an eye, the pool of blood the size of a washbasin transformed into a lifelike, sky-covering... silver dragon!

The true dragon's body was incredibly solid, far surpassing the illusory celestial dragon she had encountered on the way here.

Every single scale was meticulously detailed, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.

Its whiskers fluttered, its claws were sharp, and in its eyes was an unchanging indifference and majesty, like a celestial being from the immortal realm looking down upon all living beings.

It hovered in front of the entrance to the ancient cave, its massive body completely blocking the large opening.

Swish!

The dragon made no move or uttered any words, but its silvery-moon-like eyes were already locked onto Shao Hanyun below.

It was formed from the blood of the former Demon Emperor.

Even if it is only a tiny, insignificant manifestation of its power, it is something the latter cannot contend with!

Shao Hanyun's body trembled violently, and a sweet taste rose in her throat, almost causing her to spit out blood.

At this moment, the pressure suddenly increased exponentially!

If the previous oppressive aura made her feel as if she were carrying the entire sky on her back, then at this moment, it felt as if the entire heavens and earth were pressing down on her simultaneously!

wow...

The dark golden demonic patterns around her body flickered, and even tiny cracks began to appear on her skin, oozing droplets of blood.

click... click...

She gritted her teeth, her dark golden vertical pupils fully revealed by the extreme pressure, even becoming bloodshot. However, she did not lower her head as she had done before.

With the guidance of that mysterious dragon lineage, she refused to look away from this fortuitous opportunity. Instead, she boldly stared intently into those silver moon dragon eyes!

This move was undoubtedly extremely risky; one accident could have cost her her life. It required a ruthless decision to risk her life for a chance at enlightenment.

It's clear she really didn't want to lose this opportunity; once she missed it, she didn't know when she would be able to access the forbidden secrets again.

boom!

next moment,

In the instant his gaze met those cold dragon eyes,

Shao Hanyun felt her mind go blank, as if a million bolts of lightning had exploded deep within her soul!

It wasn't an attack, but rather an indescribable shock.

Those dragon eyes seemed to hold the infinite mysteries of the universe's birth and death, and the changing of the great Dao.

Cold, vast, indifferent, yet supreme.

That is the perspective of an emperor, a view that overlooks the ages and sees all living beings as ants—an absolute transcendence.

In that instant, excruciating pain struck, and it felt as if Shao Hanyun's sac and soul were about to explode.

But it was only for a moment. The excruciating pain miraculously subsided, and her consciousness became clearer and more focused than ever before.

The various insights and confusions from my past spiritual practice flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

hum...

At this moment, the fragment of inheritance belonging to the Celestial Azure Dragon deep within her bloodline was also churning wildly.

Looking into those dragon eyes felt like communicating across time and space with a demon emperor from countless ages ago, undergoing a baptism and... interrogation originating from the level of bloodline and the Great Dao!

What is a demon?

What is the supreme being?

What is my Way?

Among countless problems,

A profound and mysterious realization, as if enlightened, suddenly filled her heart.

Click!

It was as if some kind of "shackles" had been broken inside her body.

wow...

In an instant, Shao Hanyun's aura changed drastically!

The originally violent and surging demonic power suddenly became incredibly "harmonious" at this moment, reaching an unprecedented level of resonance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The Bitter Sea, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Immortal Platform—the five great secret realms that were already trembling and emanating divine power—resonated together at this moment, emitting the celestial sound of the Great Dao.

The connections between the secret realms became even closer and more harmonious. Even under the unintentional pressure of the true dragon, the flow of divine power within her body was no longer sluggish and became a seamless whole.

Inside the Sendai, her essence, energy, and spirit instantly condensed to their peak, her soul as clear as crystal, reflecting herself, the void, and the Great Dao.

Forbidden by God!

The forbidden realm of gods that had troubled her for years, the realm she had longed for.

At this moment, under the supreme pressure and Daoist aura of the Demon Emperor's true blood, under the pressure of the limits of life and death, and in the confrontation with the Emperor's will, it finally made a resounding impact!

She reached that profound level!

Although it was only for a moment, that mysterious feeling receded like the tide, and as the pressure in front of her subsided, she slid out of the divine forbidden domain.

But that feeling, that supreme experience as if she were at the summit, was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of her soul and could never be erased.

She knew that from now on, the divine barrier would no longer be an unattainable dream for her.

With this initial success, all that remains is to continuously fight against enemies, using time as a stone to refine one's understanding of the Great Dao, and to forge ahead relentlessly.

In the future, the frequency of triggering the divine restriction will increase, until it eventually "permanently resides" in this realm!

"Hahaha……"

Having suppressed his emotions for nearly a century, watching others rise to the Great Sage realm, even approaching Quasi-Emperor status, while he himself remained at the pinnacle of the Saint King realm until recently, Shao Hanyun...

At that moment, she laughed, a laugh filled with indescribable joy and enlightenment.

Tick!

tick... tick...

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, staining her fair chin red, which, against her red dress, made her appear even more eerie and tragically beautiful.

As it turned out, she made the right bet; it was both a test and an opportunity.

The Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, the supreme ruler in the history of the demon race, even though he has long since passed away,

Its remaining traces of true blood and will, seeing the arrival of the younger generation of the demon race, were not stingy with their generosity; instead, they were used in this way to select and hone those who would follow.

Those who lack great perseverance, great opportunity, and great fortune are not even qualified to stand here.

If one can withstand this pressure, and even dare to "look directly" at those who attained enlightenment in the past, then one will surely gain some insight and be qualified to receive more.

Of course, the voices of predecessors that she had just heard played a significant role in her obtaining this opportunity; otherwise, she would not have taken such a risk.

"Human Emperor, you are not yet dead..."

At the cave entrance, the silver dragon's eyes gleamed.

This also happened shortly after Shao Hanyun touched upon the divine taboo and slipped from it.

wow...

The massive silver dragon, formed from the true blood of the Demon Emperor, suddenly trembled.

It then collapsed with a roar, turning back into that dark, silvery-red pool of blood, quietly imprinted on the ground, no longer radiating any pressure.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But the tiny wounds all over Shao Hanyun's body, the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, and the incredibly clear sensory feedback deep within her soul all told her that everything that had just happened was real.

But at the very last moment, the instant her eyes met those dragon eyes, she felt a strange connection.

She felt that the other person was not looking at her, but rather looking through her skeletal body at the air behind her, staring at something that was actually nothing.

What is the other person looking at?

Whom are they looking at?

Is it "him"?

My thoughts drifted, and the pressure from ahead completely subsided.

Shao Hanyun swayed and almost collapsed to the ground.

She quickly steadied herself, panting heavily, her dark golden eyes shining with a frightening brightness as she stared intently at the pool of imperial blood, then glanced at the ancient cave at the end.

She knew it was over.

From now on, there shouldn't be too many obstacles ahead.

Without hesitation, she immediately sat down cross-legged, took out a fragrant golden pill, swallowed it, and began to regulate her breathing to recover.

At the same time, she was also carefully savoring the feeling of touching the divine barrier just now, trying to remember every detail.

About half an hour later, Shao Hanyun slowly opened her eyes.

The injuries have mostly healed.

More importantly, she had an incredibly clear and insightful mind.

Suddenly, she released the nearly century-long suppression of that cultivation level.

Boom!

She slowly rose to her feet, her aura suddenly bursting forth and rising steadily.

The five secret realms resonated in unison. Although they did not touch the divine restrictions, the resonant Dao sounds echoed throughout this space, faintly connecting with the remaining Dao principles deep within the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

The dragon's energy surges here.

Suddenly, in the depths of the once relatively tranquil ancient tomb, calamity clouds gathered and thunder roared!

The Great Calamity has arrived!

However, because her accumulated power was too profound, she had suppressed it too much before, and she had just touched the divine forbidden zone, the heavenly tribulation she triggered far exceeded that of an ordinary Great Saint Tribulation.

As soon as the heavenly tribulation appeared, nine-colored lightning struck down, and an aura of destruction enveloped the surrounding area.

Shao Hanyun stood up, her red dress fluttering in the lightning.

She possessed the bloodline of immortals, and far from being afraid, her eyes instead burned with fierce fighting spirit.

"Good timing!"

She let out a clear shout, then took the initiative to soar into the sky, facing the vast sea of ​​lightning with multiple strange phenomena manifesting, and fought with the humanoid lightning within it.

Rumble...

Over the next few hours, a corner of this space deep within the Demon Emperor's Tomb was engulfed by endless lightning.

Nine-colored divine lightning, the tribulation lightning transformed into the body of a young demon emperor...

As time went by, various terrifying heavenly tribulations descended one after another, engulfing Shao Hanyun's figure time and time again.

Its form not only exploded and then reformed within it, but finally revealed its true form as a dragon.

Although she couldn't permanently reside in the forbidden realm she had just touched upon.

However, through trial and error, with a bit of luck, she can trigger a moment at a crucial time, helping her break through the most dangerous calamity and hoping to survive the ordeal.

After her dragon body fully manifested, it faded away again, and the dark golden dragon scales and demonic patterns transformed into battle armor. She was like a female war goddess with a pair of silver dragon horns, fighting fiercely in the sea of ​​lightning and tempering herself.
