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

As if sensing Tan Lin's will and the boiling battle blood, the spirit treasure array diagram emitted a clear and melodious ringing sound.

In an instant,

An aura of slaughter soared into the sky, no longer concealed, but actively tearing through the void to pave the way for conquest!

Chapter 272 Empress: I'll Do Anything as Long as I Follow My Master (Please Subscribe!)

Hey!

Tan Lin was about to disappear.

Tianling got up from the ground and quickly went forward to hug Tan Lin tightly from behind again.

Tears welled in her violet-gold eyes, and her voice choked with emotion:

“Back in Taigu, I watched you suffer... I really don’t want to go through that pain again... If you really have to go, then let me go with you…”

As she spoke, she tightened her arms, as if she were using all her strength to bind them to herself.

At this moment, she, who was usually quite aloof, seemed to shed all pretenses, leaving only the purest fear and desire to hold on.

In his arms, Tan Lin could feel the other's warm tears soaking his robes.

Beside him, Li Qingjue watched this scene quietly without saying a word.

rustling... rustling...

Within the realm of creation, the atmosphere was as still as iron.

In an instant, Tan Lin remained silent, slowly raised his hand, and gently placed it on Tian Ling's hand that was wrapped around his waist.

This action startled Tianling slightly, and a glimmer of hope immediately rose in her heart.

Suiren...changed his mind?

However, in the next instant, Tan Lin exerted a slight force in his palm, and a gentle yet irresistible power came through, gently prying Tian Ling's arm open.

"Suiren!!"

Tianling's voice was choked with sobs.

Tan Lin turned around to face her.

His eyes were so clear that Tianling and Shenyue felt like strangers to him.

"Tianling, Shenyue..."

He spoke, his voice soft, yet carrying an undeniable firmness:

"Could you lend me the Divine Silkworm Robe temporarily, please..."

Tianling trembled and subconsciously took a half step back.

She knew that she had ultimately failed to win him back.

Her lips trembled slightly:

"Let me go with you. The Divine Silkworm Robe will naturally be with you, so why would you need to borrow it?"

"Be good, give it to me."

Tan Lin repeated, extending his hand.

Tianling stared at him for a moment, the last glimmer of light in her eyes completely drowned out by tears.

She gave a bitter smile.

She didn't ask any more questions or offer any more advice; she simply communicated silently with the deity within the silkworm robe.

wow...

In an instant, a translucent inner armor, shimmering with nine-colored celestial light and as thin as a cicada's wing, slowly peeled off from beneath her gold-trimmed purple skirt.

hum...

The divine silkworm robe trembled slightly in the air.

Tianling reached out and took it, her fingertips gently tracing the ancient imperial weapon that had saved her life many times. Finally, she took a deep breath and handed it to Tan Lin.

"Promise me you won't die..."

She spoke softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Tan Lin took the divine silkworm garment without answering.

He turned to look at Guo Ziqian, who stood solemnly to the side. The old general straightened his back, his cloudy old eyes burning with resolute fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, this humble general is willing to follow you..."

"You stay."

Tan Lin interrupted him.

Guo Ziqian said urgently:

"Your Majesty! Though I am old, I can still fight! You are not yet fully accomplished and still need to undergo tribulation. Let me clear the way for you, even if I can only delay Your Majesty for a moment after we get out..."

I said, "Stay."

Tan Lin's voice was calm, yet it carried an unyielding authority.

Guo Ziqian opened his mouth, then finally knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said in a deep voice:

"This humble general... obeys."

Despite saying this, he, who was a proud and fierce general in ancient times, now harbored the same thought as Tian Ling: that he would leave this place after Tian Ling left.

But to everyone's surprise, Tan Lin raised his hands, spread his fingers, and suddenly pressed down on the spot where Tian Ling and Guo Ziqian were.

Crash!

Suddenly, countless golden Dao patterns appeared in the void.

These Dao patterns are not engraved on the surface of space, but are directly manifested from the level of laws, and intertwined with the power of the spiritual treasure array to form two complex and profound sealing formations.

hum...

The wisps of array patterns slowly rotated, radiating a vast and powerful sealing force.

"Suiren! How dare you!?"

Tianling's expression changed drastically, realizing that her thoughts had been seen through. She tried to break free with a fierce but weak expression, only to find that the space around her had already solidified, and she couldn't even move a finger.

Guo Ziqian did the same; he tried to circulate his internal energy to break free of the restraints.

However, the power contained within that seal was far too high, exceeding the level that he, a mid-level Quasi-Emperor, could contend with.

thump...

Finally, the two sealing arrays slowly descended, enveloping Tian Ling and Guo Ziqian respectively.

Amidst the flashes of golden light, the figures of the two gradually blurred, eventually transforming into two golden statues, frozen in place, as if even their consciousness had been temporarily bound.

On the statue of the graceful and tall figure, Tianling's final, unwilling and angry gaze, yet also filled with endless worry and sorrow, was frozen on her face.

After doing all this, Tan Lin turned around and glanced at his former disciple.

The woman, dressed in a black dress, witnessed this scene. Her stunningly beautiful face remained expressionless throughout, except for her lonely, watery eyes, which remained fixed on him...

Around the opponent, chaotic energy swirled, resonating with the illusory myriad paths, indicating that he was on the verge of transformation, just one final step away.

"When we go out later, you will undergo transformation and tribulation to break through to the Dao Realm... I will do my best to buy you time, but there are too many variables in the outside world, so you need to be mentally prepared..."

Tan Lin said in a deep voice.

Li Qingjue looked at him intently:

"As long as I follow Master, I'm willing to go anywhere and do anything. I'm not afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin fell silent.

Without saying anything, he reached out and summoned the spiritual treasure array that had appeared above the Creation Ground. The array rustled and transformed into a stream of light that entered his palm.

next moment,

His sleeves billowed, lifting the ancient tree of life, and then he fully activated the Soul Pearl of All Causes, its deep crimson light burning deep within his soul.

hum...

An invisible crimson mist surged from the Soul Pearl, completely enveloping him and Li Qingjue, causing them to disappear from their original spot and reappear in the distant starry sky outside.

Almost the instant the two of them left the Heavenly Soldiers Ancient Star to avoid revealing their location,

The boundless immortal light of the spiritual treasure array diagram in front of Tan Lin was fully activated!

boom……

As if deliberately attracting the attention of the supreme being, a murderous aura soared into the sky, pierced through the starry sea, and shook the entire universe!

On the surface of the array, the dense, blurry, and mysterious patterns seemed to come alive, swirling wildly.

Immediately, an invisible wave of migration traversed the endless starry sky, heading towards a specific coordinate.

There, deep within the forbidden ancient road, lay hidden.

……

The boundless ocean where Lingbao Tianzun's Sea of ​​Wheels resides has an even stronger life force than Tan Lin had in the past.

This is all because, in recent years, as rumors of a dark upheaval likely to erupt in this great age have intensified, many peace-loving cultivators in the universe have chosen to "take refuge" here.

Those who arrived earlier have already entered the upper realm of the gods, while those who arrived nearly sixty years later, having not yet been "guided" by the divine bridge, can only drift on a boat in this sea of ​​stars for the time being.

These people all had impressive backgrounds, with records kept by their respective ethnic groups or religious traditions.

Knowing that this place is not only isolated from the world, but also guarded by the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and that in the past, a spiritual treasure array diagram was also placed in the divine realm,

Not only that, but there might also be some hidden resources left behind by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao in the shadows, making it relatively safe. It is said that no dark turmoil in history has ever affected this place.

Even though the waves of suffering have swept away many lives over the years, in the eyes of many people during this special period, it is still a rare haven from the world.

However, even knowing the special nature of this place, the number of cultivators here has not increased significantly to date.

Entering this place is difficult; the seal outside the forbidden ancient road alone, which requires the blood of ten ancient beings to open, has stumped many people. Not everyone can meet the requirements.

The disproportionate relationship between the availability and demand for ancient blood required by each individual has, to some extent, limited the number of cultivators.

They were even less able to bring their families, let alone their disciples and clansmen to seek refuge here in advance.

At this moment, on the dark surface of the Bitter Sea, boats drifted with the current.

Throughout the entire ancient era, an unprecedented upheaval erupted, with the imperial might of the six supreme beings sweeping across the entire universe.

Even though this place was isolated from the outside world, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

That kind of thrill, even across the endless sea of ​​stars, seemed to make their very souls tremble.

The assembled heroes weren't fools. Something was amiss—so many people sensing something unusual all at once—and they quickly realized what was happening.

At this moment, the powerful figures all made deductions, and after a while, they all looked pale-faced at the Bitter Sea and even beyond the Forbidden Ancient Road, although they could not see the situation outside at all.

"It must be unrest...it really is coming..."

An elderly quasi-emperor with white hair muttered to himself, his eyes showing no sign of relief at being there.

On the contrary, as that initial tremor was traced back, a startling number slowly led him to despair:

"Six... six ancient supreme beings have actually appeared... how can we possibly survive this?"

"Yes, in the past, during times of turmoil, records show that only one or two supreme beings emerged. The beings of the myriad realms outside were enough to satisfy their appetites, so there was no need to expend great effort to harvest them here. But things are probably different now..."

Beside him, an equally weary old man sighed.

On the same ship, some cultivators who overheard their speculations turned pale with fright, their hearts pounding with terror. They immediately knelt down and prayed, either towards the divine realm or the Sea Eye of Life.

"By the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao..."

"it's useless!"

A supreme sage from an ancient Taoist lineage shook his head bitterly:

“Lingbao Tianzun has long since passed away. Although the Four Swords of Zhuxian still exist, it is said that the array diagram has been lost. Moreover, even if the array diagram still exists, without someone to control it, how can it contend with the Supreme Being?”
