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

Boom...

Having obtained the results of the test, he slammed down with his enormous magma hand. Runes flickered in his palm, transforming into a sea of ​​lava that covered the entire Xiang family ancestral land. With terrifying heat capable of incinerating everything, it crashed down!

He wanted to wipe the Xiang family out of the Southern Region with a single blow!

The Xiang family members looked on in despair, and many closed their eyes, awaiting death.

however,

The anticipated destruction did not come to pass.

"A few filthy stone beings who have been hiding in the cracks of rocks for countless ages before daring to show their faces, and who only know how to bully the old, weak, women and children, dare to spout nonsense and presumptuously talk about divine grace?"

A clear, cold female voice, like an ancient, icy spring, suddenly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly drowned out the wild laughter of the Flame Saint and the roar of falling lava, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.

hum!

The temperature above the Xiang family ancestral land plummeted.

The molten lava falling from the sky seemed to have collided with an invisible barrier of extreme cold.

It solidified instantly, then dimmed, and then shattered into countless ice shards with a "crack" sound, falling down in a flurry.

Ripples spread across the void.

An unparalleled figure emerged from nothingness, step by step, treading on invisible, icy steps.

She wore a flowing, light blue dress with wide sleeves, her figure tall and graceful, her face exquisitely beautiful, as if she embodied all the beauty and coldness in the world.

A single icy blue line between her brows, resembling a crystal, adds to her purity and nobility.

She was surrounded by a faint chill and a vast, ocean-like Daoist aura, and the immense pressure of a sixth-level Quasi-Emperor was released without reservation.

They actually managed to withstand the combined aura of the three Holy Spirits on the other side!

It was Chi Yao!

"Chi Yao, the Daoist embryo of the Chi family?"

The platinum-colored battle spirit's eyes narrowed as it recognized the person, and a cold, metallic voice rang out.

"This matter is a private feud between my Holy Spirit Beichen lineage and the Xiang family. What does it have to do with your Northern Region Tianchi?"

Your Chi family has always remained neutral, firmly guarding Tianchi. Don't make a mistake and needlessly invite the destruction of your entire family! Retreat immediately!

Upon hearing this, Chi Yao's beautiful lips curled into an undisguised mocking smile.

She gently raised her jade-like hand, and a small pagoda, about nine inches tall, with a pure green color and crystal clear appearance, appeared in her palm and spun around.

The tower is covered with tear-shaped natural Dao patterns, flowing with a hazy immortal light and a bone-chilling cold. It is her natal Dao artifact, the Immortal Tear Azure Wave Tower, forged from immortal tears and green gold!

Because of its extraordinary material, the celestial gold perfectly complements her magical path.

At this moment, it trembled slightly, emanating an imperial aura and an extremely cold Daoist charm, causing the three Holy Spirits to feel a slight tremor in their hearts.

"Irrelevant?"

Chi Yao's voice was icy cold, each word clear and resounding through the heavens:

"My Chi family ancestors once followed the Xiang family's Great Golden Body Ancestor in conquering the starry sky, sharing life and death!"

Our two families have been on friendly terms for generations, supporting and helping each other for tens of thousands of years! The karma of the Xiang family is the karma of the Chi family! If you wish to destroy the Xiang family, you must first ask the tower in my hand for permission!

Her beautiful eyes flashed like lightning as they swept over the three holy beings, the disdain and sharpness in her gaze almost tangible:

"As for your Holy Spirit Ancestral Court... I have a few questions that I must ask!"

"You all keep saying you hate the ancestors of the Xiang family, and the ancestral home in the Southern Ridge where you now reside has a past grudge against the 'Indestructible Golden Body' and the 'Heaven-Devouring Maiden,' wishing you could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin."

Then why, when the Four Swords of Zhuxian swept across the sky and the power of the sword formation reappeared, and when the battle was fought in the forbidden zone of the star space, did your ancestral court not make a sound?

Do you see any of your Holy Spirits who dare to stand up and ask the one who wields the sword, "Why did you slaughter my ancestral ancestors?"

They all huddled deep within the ancestral temple, silent as cicadas in winter, living in constant fear and unease—no different from the insects in the gutter!

"Now that the four swords have returned to their positions and the sword formation has been contained, after hundreds of years, it seems that the limelight has passed, and you all think you are invincible again."

They dared not seek out the true master, but only dared to show off their power against the Xiang family descendants whose bloodline was thin and whose lineage was declining.

What difference is there between such behavior and that of a wild dog that barks at women, children, the elderly, and the weak?!

"Furthermore!"

Chi Yao's voice suddenly rose, her words becoming increasingly sharp, like ice picks piercing to the bone:

"You keep saying that you have an eternal blood feud with the ancestors of the Xiang family, and that you are irreconcilable enemies."

Then I would like to ask, when the Xiang family was at its peak, and when that ancestor with the Great Completion Golden Body dominated the starry sky, where was your ancestral home?

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the ancestors of the Xiang family suppressed the world, did you ever manage to avenge even a fraction of this 'blood feud'?

Why wait until tens of thousands of years later, when the Xiang family is dwindling in strength, nearing its end, and at its weakest and most vulnerable, to gather a few incompetent fools and come knocking on their door, shouting for war?

"To bully the weak and take advantage of others' misfortunes—is this what you Holy Spirits lineage call 'the favor of heaven and earth' and 'acting on behalf of heaven'? It's utterly ridiculous!"

They're nothing but a bunch of cowardly cowards, all bark and no bite. Do they even deserve to bark and howl like that?!

"How dare you, you lowly servant, insult my ancestral home like this! You're courting death!!"

Chi Yao's words were piercing, tearing apart the hypocrisy, cowardice, and despicable nature of the Holy Spirit Ancestral Court and exposing them to the light of day.

The three holy spirits instantly flew into a rage, especially the most irritable Flame Rock Holy Spirit, whose body was so enraged that the magma around him boiled and spewed out flames that stretched for thousands of feet!

"Since your Chi family is determined to bring about your own destruction, then today we will first use you as a sacrifice to our flag, then wipe out the entire Xiang family, and flatten the Northern Heavenly Pool!"

The Fiery Saint roared, and its enormous magma body suddenly expanded, transforming into a towering fire giant.

His fists were like mountains, burning with holy flames that could incinerate everything, carrying a monstrous heatwave and the laws of destruction, as he slammed them down on Chi Yao!

Where the fist passed, the void twisted and melted, revealing dark cracks.

Boom...

"kill!"

Qinglin Stone Saint also flickered, vanishing like a ghost in an instant.

next moment,

He appeared behind Chi Yao, his scale-covered claws gleaming with a dark, ominous light, tearing through space as he aimed directly at Chi Yao's back and apex, ruthless and cunning.

The Platinum War Spirit was the calmest, but the killing intent in its eyes was also tangible.

He formed hand seals, and countless phantom images of platinum divine weapons appeared behind him: knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks...

Each one was incredibly solid, radiating a sharp aura capable of cleaving through the heavens.

With a low shout, thousands of divine weapons rained down like a storm, sealing off all of Chi Yao's escape routes from all angles and shooting towards her!

The three Holy Spirits, familiar with each other, employed different strategies: one launched a frontal assault, one attacked from the flank, and one provided ranged support.

With perfect coordination and unleashing all their deadly moves, they clearly intended to kill the suddenly appearing, highly skilled Dao Embryo of the Chi family instantly with overwhelming force!

boom!!

Three major ruthless methods erupted from all sides.

Chi Yao's clear and beautiful eyes were unusually calm, showing no fear whatsoever.

Splash...

at the same time,

The Immortal Tear Azure Wave Pagoda above her head shone brightly, instantly expanding and cascading down thousands of beams of azure light and innate Daoist charm, transforming into an indestructible Daoist barrier that protected her from all wind and rain.

next moment,

Wow!

With a series of graceful movements, she unleashed a supreme and wondrous technique.

With his left hand forming a hand seal, he nearly merged with the Dao, drawing upon the profound energy of the Nine Heavens, instantly freezing the entire sky.

click... click...

Boom!!

Countless enormous ice shards, forming out of thin air from the Ice God Mountain, carrying an extreme cold that could freeze the very soul through the Immortal Platform, surged back towards the Flame Saint Spirit's giant fist of fire.

Not only that, she joined her right fingers like a sword, drawing mysterious trajectories that instantly stirred up towering blue waves in the void.

The surging waves contained boundless power of the Dao patterns, meeting the barrage of platinum divine weapons shooting from the sky.

As for the Azure Scale Stone Saint who attacked from behind, Chi Yao did not turn around.

shuh...

With a mere thought, the dense Daoist patterns within her protective immortal light suddenly materialized, condensing and bursting forth with countless fine, yet incomparably sharp, Xuanbing Soul Needles.

These fine needles, though silent, are as fast as lightning, striking first and piercing the gaps in the scales of the Azure Scale Stone Saint's body, aiming directly at his secret realm and other vital points!

This would slow down the opponent's offensive...

Boom!!!

In an instant, a terrifying collision between quasi-emperors erupted in the high heavens beyond the Crimson Cloud River in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness!

The violent energy storm inevitably had aftershocks that swept downwards across the southern sky, scattering fragments of laws and illuminating the entire Eastern Wilderness!

Rumble... Rumble...

The last large formation inside Xiangjia Stone Village, near the ancestral hall, was shaking violently under the aftershocks and could collapse completely at any moment.

Xiang Li used his supernatural powers to gather all the clansmen below the Sendai level into a secret treasure, and then formed an array with Xiang Yun, Xiang Ning, and a group of clansmen with Sendai cultivation to guard the ancestral hall.

Even for cultivators with the cultivation of saints or even saint kings, maintaining their strength was a struggle under the aftershocks emanating from the high heavens.

Now, relying on the formation left by our ancestors in the ancestral hall, even with the formation in place to share the pressure, everyone is almost out of breath, and each person's body seems to be about to explode at any moment.

But even in this situation,

Most of them were still slowly raising their heads, trying to look out at the sky, hoping to understand the course of the battle.

Because this determines whether the Xiang family can continue to exist after this day.

And further away,

At this moment, countless gazes from all the major powers in the Five Domains of the Big Dipper were drawn to this sudden and intense conflict. The eyes of numerous powerful figures and giants were focused on the skies above the Southern Domain.

Countless divine thoughts intertwined, and voices echoed throughout the five regions:

"The Chi family of the Northern Region has indeed cultivated a pair of stunningly talented individuals, especially Chi Yao, whose innate Dao embryo truly shows signs of attaining Dao..."

"Heh, it's a pity they lack brains, provoking the Holy Spirit Ancestral Court at this critical juncture. They should know that deep within the ancestral court in the Southern Ridge, there are more than one Great Accomplished Holy Spirit lying dormant; it's even rumored that a Great Perfection Holy Spirit exists..."

"The Holy Spirit is powerful. If we look at it as a whole, even the so-called Phoenix Nest, the Divine Organization, and the Feathered Divine Dynasty, which is now only relying on the remaining influence and foundation of the Feathered Emperor from ten thousand years ago to barely maintain its hegemony and dignity, are all inferior to the Southern Ridge Divine Ancestral Court!"

"I heard that the fire demon in the Fire Demon Ridge of the Central Region also entered the Southern Ridge before? And became a great 'Holy Ancestor' in the Holy Spirit Ancestral Court?"

"..."

"That's right, couldn't the Chi family just pretend to be dead? They insisted on stepping forward, and after today, they're likely facing a great calamity!"

"If I were her, I would never 'show off' in this world until I attain enlightenment. In such a great world, the variables and crises beneath the waves are countless."

"Tsk tsk, look, she's at a disadvantage. She's certainly impressive, but she's overestimating herself. Everyone knows how powerful the Holy Spirit is. There's a gap in her cultivation level, and now she's facing three opponents at once. How can she possibly win?"

"..."

Amid the discussions among the heroes,

High above the Crimson Cloud River, the battle intensifies.

Chi Yao faced a three-on-one attack from three Holy Spirits who, while all at the Quasi-Emperor level, were all superior to her in cultivation.

Even with the protection of his natal Dao artifact, the Immortal Tear Azure Wave Pagoda, forged from immortal gold, and the unique ability of his innate Dao embryo body to be in harmony with the Dao and to harness the power of heaven and earth for his own use, he still gradually felt the pressure.

The Fiery Saint Spirit was incomparably ferocious; his fists struck like meteors falling from the sky, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

The Azure Scale Stone Saint's Claws specialize in exploiting weaknesses, and its movement techniques are unpredictable and its attacks are tricky.
