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

thump...

Before the last chaotic lightning bolt, as sharp as a heavenly blade, was shattered by her punch and dissipated.

Shao Hanyun stood in mid-air, and her aura surged once again like a volcanic eruption!

The Great Sage's Second Heaven, Third Heaven, Fourth Heaven...

Ultimately, it even showed a tendency to approach the fifth level of the Great Sage Realm!

This is the culmination of her nearly 100 years of accumulation, the result of her enlightenment in the Ancient Tree of Life and the Heavenly Venerable's Sea of ​​Life and Spring of Destiny, and the manifestation of the opportunities she encountered here...

This allowed her to have the courage to undergo four tribulations in succession and directly enter the fifth level of the Great Sage realm, given that her foundation was solid!

Such progress, even in this great age of enlightenment, is perhaps only comparable to or even surpassed by a very few people...

But before she could face the subsequent tribulation and carefully comprehend the surge of power, a faint commotion began to emanate from the periphery of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

"The barrier has indeed been broken! Go in quickly!"

"Faster...faster...the Demon Emperor's legacy is inside! We can't miss it!"

"Be careful! Although most of the restrictions here have been destroyed, there are still remnants of divine energy from the domain!"

"The aura of heavenly tribulation is emerging... Could it be that someone else has already obtained a great fortune, even before us? And their cultivation has taken another leap forward..."

"..."

As the cultivators from the outside world approached, faint sounds began to reach her ears from afar, and Shao Hanyun's eyes suddenly turned cold.

These must be cultivators from all sides who were frightened away by the great battle, but now that the barrier has been broken, they have returned out of greed!

hum...

As her thoughts raced, she activated a secret technique, using the cover of the tribulation lightning to quietly extend her divine sense outwards, silently sensing the number and cultivation level of the intruders.

After a moment, she felt a little more at ease.

This should only be the first group of people to take the risk, but there were quite a few of them, at least several dozen.

However, most of them were Saint Kings, and there were more than a dozen Great Saints. The one with the highest cultivation was an old monster at the eighth level of Great Saint, with a cold aura, who should be the leader of a certain star field.

The rest of the Great Sages reside in the third or fourth heaven.

"A bunch of reckless fools..."

Shao Hanyun's red lips curled into a cold smile, her dark golden eyes filled with murderous intent.

She didn't know what happened to the outside world, where Tan Lin went, or what happened afterward.

However, she absolutely did not want the outside world to know that she had ventured deep into this place, obtained good fortune, and transcended tribulations to break through her current limitations, as that would bring countless troubles.

After all, in the eyes of some outsiders, she and Tan Lin have been inseparable for nearly a century and are now an inseparable pair.

Of course, more importantly, in her view, all the treasures in this Demon Emperor's tomb were already hers to keep, and she would not allow anyone else to touch them.

Moreover, if these people break in and disturb other arrangements that might exist deep within, it could ruin her efforts to obtain the Demon Emperor's Weapon...

"Perfect timing, it's been a while since I've killed anyone..."

Shao Hanyun's mind stirred.

She deliberately stirred up the dense aura of tribulation lightning around her, which resonated faintly with the surging heavenly tribulation principles all around.

The next moment,

She darted off like a red lightning bolt towards the direction from which the commotion was coming.

……

at the same time,

The outer perimeter of the Demon Emperor's Tomb was thus broken, and the residual power of numerous supreme artifacts stirred up the ruins of the shattered palaces.

Dozens of figures were cautiously exploring deeper into the area.

They were dressed in different clothes, came from different star fields and races, and had varying levels of cultivation, but their faces all showed undisguised greed and excitement.

There's no way around it, this is the legendary tomb of the Demon Emperor!

Rumor has it that the Demon Emperor once invaded the Immortal Realm, but whether it's true or not is unknown. The restrictions have only recently been broken, and due to the previous earth-shattering battle, a large area around the region has become a dead zone.

The wonders within have certainly not yet been discovered by anyone.

Even if they only pick up scraps and ordinary precious medicines, this level of legacy would be enough for them to enjoy endlessly!

"The tribulation just now was terrifyingly powerful; the one who underwent it must have been extraordinary!"

"Could it be a native of this tomb?"

"How is that possible? This place is isolated from the outside world. How many years have passed? Have there been any traces of human habitation along the way?"

"..."

"Who cares who he is! No matter how strong he is, he's just a Great Sage. Fortune favors the bold! While those big shots are still focused on the great war on the other side of the universe, let's hurry!"

"No, the hijacking seems to be getting more intense..."

"quick……"

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

A blood-red figure, carrying a violent hijacking machine, descended from the sky like a meteor, landing in front of everyone!

thump...

In an instant, the earth cracked and dust rose everywhere.

In the smoke and dust,

Shao Hanyun's stunningly beautiful figure, now radiating murderous intent, slowly rose to her feet.

Her silver hair cascaded down her back, her red dress burned like fire, and eerie dark gold patterns flowed beneath her skin. Her icy gaze swept over everyone present as if they were a group of dead people.

"Since you're here, then... stay."

She parted her red lips slightly, her voice cold and devoid of any emotion.

Boom...

At the same time, the tribulation clouds behind her moved with her, enveloping the area.

"It's...it's her?!"

"'Demon Lord' Shao Hanyun?!"

Someone recognized her and their expression changed drastically.

It is not due to its own nature, but rather to the immortal golden body.

"The fifth level of the Great Sage Realm? Her cultivation has actually improved to this level?"

"Wasn't it said that she was stuck at the Great Sage realm for nearly a hundred years, and that her potential had already been exhausted?"

"..."

"Attack together! Without her indestructible golden body, even if she breaks through, she's nothing. Suppress her first!!"

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the cold old man at the seventh level of the Great Sage realm. He made the first move, and a withered ghost claw tore through the void, carrying a chilling death aura, and grabbed towards Shao Hanyun's head.

Seeing this, the others also unleashed their magical treasures and powers, bombarding the area with overwhelming force.

"Nothing at all?"

The curve of Shao Hanyun's lips grew increasingly cold.

Surrounded by tribulation lightning, she didn't even use any supernatural powers or magical treasures. She simply raised a slender hand and gently flicked a drop of her blood, enhanced by a secret technique, from her fingertips. After scattering the blood, it swiftly and accurately struck the people nearby.

Rumble...

Multiple heavenly tribulations descended at this moment.

And that majestic divine power, as if drawn by some force, descended from the sky and indiscriminately struck down on all those who attacked her!

"what?!"

"She actually managed to trigger a heavenly tribulation to attack us?! I clearly activated a secret technique..."

"Do not!!"

A scream rang out instantly.

Those Saint King cultivators were almost powerless to resist the heavenly tribulation lightning. They were instantly pulverized into charred remains, their bodies and souls destroyed, and they were the first to perish.

The remaining Great Sage cultivators fared no better; struck by lightning, their bodies were charred black, and they screamed in agony. Those with weaker cultivation were severely injured and on the verge of death.

Even the cold, gloomy old man at the seventh level of the Great Sage realm was targeted by several thick bolts of lightning. His ghostly claws shattered, his body emitted smoke, and he retreated in utter terror.

However, his cultivation level was still there, and even if he was extremely powerful, he could still barely withstand a heavenly tribulation that was not unique to him.

"Escape! Escape!"

"She's not simple..."

At this moment, the survivors were terrified and no longer cared about their fate; they turned around and tried to flee.

"Want to leave now? Too late."

Shao Hanyun's voice, like the whisper of the Underworld Emperor, rang in everyone's ears.

clatter……

With a light tap of her shoes, she moved.

Dark golden demonic patterns covered her entire body, greatly increasing her speed, making her weave through the heavenly tribulation and the crowd like a red lightning bolt.

Her delicate hands patted, tapped, punched, or slapped; each strike was simple and direct, yet contained a terrifying force capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas.

Bang!

bang... bang...

The sounds of flesh exploding were incessant.

The heavenly tribulation became her best cover and assist.

She was like a tiger among sheep; wherever she went, blood rained down, and no one could withstand a single blow from her.

Even the old man at the seventh level of the Great Sage realm was shattered by her three consecutive punches; his protective artifacts shattered, his chest caved in, and he finally stared wide-eyed in resentment before his soul was annihilated.

Slaughter, almost one-sided slaughter.

In just a short while, all the dozens of cultivators who had broken into the place were killed, and none escaped.

Blood stained the broken jade ground, and severed limbs were scattered everywhere, filling the air with a strong stench of blood.

Shao Hanyun stood in mid-air, her red dress spotless, her silver hair flying.

She was slightly out of breath. The series of battles, her recent breakthrough, and the forced activation of the Heavenly Tribulation had taken a toll on her.

But her eyes remained cold as she scanned the corpses scattered on the ground, confirming that there were no more survivors.

Just as she was preparing to return to the ancient cave,

hum!

Suddenly, a vast, obscure, and terrifying aura, far exceeding the combined power of all the dead present,

Like a sleeping dragon awakening, it suddenly came from the outermost part of the Demon Emperor's Tomb and approached this place at an astonishing speed!

"A quasi-emperor?!"

Shao Hanyun's pupils contracted sharply, and her expression instantly turned serious.

The true powerhouse has arrived!

And it wasn't just one!

Judging from his aura, he is at least a mid-stage Quasi-Emperor!

They are likely bystanders of the previous great battle, or ancient beings from outer space attracted by the subsequent commotion here!

With her current strength, she could easily sweep aside ordinary Great Sages.

But when facing a true Quasi-Emperor, especially a mid-level Quasi-Emperor, they are simply no match.

Moreover, there may be more than one person on the other side.
