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

Just when everyone was feeling utterly hopeless.

boom……

hum!

Buzz... Buzz!

Deep within the Sea of ​​Bitterness where they were, from the direction of the Spring of Destiny, four earth-shattering sword cries rang out in succession!

The sword's cry was so sharp it seemed to pierce the eternal blue sky.

The sword exuded a powerful killing aura, causing the entire Sea of ​​Wheels to boil with excitement!

"Those are...the Four Swords of Zhuxian?!"

"The four swords are moving strangely! Could it be..."

At this moment, amidst the shock of everyone here and even in the upper divine realm, four dazzling sword lights soared into the sky from the depths of the Life Spring!

The Zhuxian Sword is as red as blood, the Luxian Sword is as black as night, the Xianxian Sword is as green as jade, and the Juexian Sword is dazzlingly white.

The four swords were unleashed simultaneously, and even the faint sword energy they emitted traversed 30,000 light-years across the void, tearing apart the starry sky above the entire Spring of Life!

"The four swords have left their positions! Where are they headed?"

"..."

"Could it be a spirit treasure array diagram?! Yes... it must be a spirit treasure array diagram..."

"After many years, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is about to reunite and reappear in the world?!"

"I heard that the array diagram seemed to have fallen into the hands of that immortal golden-bodied being back then..."

"..."

"Hiss, what is that person trying to do with such a blatant disturbance? Aren't they afraid of attracting the attention of the Supreme Being? Or perhaps..."

A series of sounds rang out, and the sea surface instantly erupted in chaos.

Some exclaimed in surprise, some were horrified, and many more were caught up in a flurry of excited speculation.

"Hundreds of years ago, that immortal golden-bodied being wielded a spiritual treasure array diagram and summoned the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter to annihilate numerous cultivators from forbidden zones atop the Demon Emperor's Tomb. From that moment on, he forged a grudge against the forbidden zones..."

An old sage from the ancient human path said in a trembling voice:

"An indestructible golden body... Could it be that in the decades I've been here, that person has already reached a great level? Now the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation seems to be merging again... Is 'he' trying to suppress this turmoil?"

"The Indestructible Golden Body... Tan Lin!"

Someone blurted out the name, their eyes gleaming:

“Our lineage has historical records that during this ancient era, throughout countless ages, five Great Accomplished Sacred Bodies have suppressed the dark chaos and made outstanding contributions. He must be trying to emulate his predecessors…”

A human cultivator exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this:

"Could it be that in this lifetime, the one with the indestructible golden body will become the sixth master to suppress the turmoil?"

"Impossible! There are six Supreme Beings emerging this time!"

Some people are very clear-headed, and also very pessimistic:

"In the past, during times of turmoil, at most one or two Supreme Beings would emerge. The Great Perfection Undying Golden Body was able to suppress them because they had, to varying degrees, reached the Emperor Realm, and often only faced one or two opponents."

It should be noted that there are differences even among those who achieve the highest level of immortality...

This time... all six appeared!

Even with Tan Lin's extraordinary talent and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, how could he possibly defeat him?

"Indeed, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is powerful, but after all, the Celestial Venerable Lingbao has long since passed away."

When I arrived two years ago, I heard that the Undying Golden Body hadn't even reached its full potential yet. The beings of the forbidden zones were probably all watching him; reaching that level wasn't easy.

His cultivation level should still be at the high-level Quasi-Emperor stage. Even if he were to hastily undergo tribulation and wield the complete Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he probably wouldn't be able to unleash its full power..."

"But the fact that he stepped forward is already commendable..."

A young cultivator clenched his fist, his blood boiling, his eyes filled with admiration:

"Throughout history, in times of darkness and turmoil, the heavens have fallen silent, and all spirits weep blood. Most of those so-called aspiring to enlightenment have chosen to lie low and hide, seeking only to preserve their own virtue."

How many dare to face the six supreme beings? Such courage deserves my, Zhou Jie's, utmost respect!

"Alas, your courage is commendable, but... I'm afraid it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

An old monk sighed:

"If we can exchange one or two Supreme Beings and reduce the suffering of more beings in the universe, that would be a stroke of good fortune. What I fear most is that... if the sword formation is broken, I will perish, and I will not even be able to kill a single Supreme Being..."

If it were to cause the Supreme Being to waste his vital energy and then try to replenish it, all living beings in the heavens would suffer even more..."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their feelings a mix of emotions.

There was admiration, worry, sighs, and also a sliver of unrealistic hope.

What if?

What if that person really can create a miracle?

However, they all knew in their hearts that this was just wishful thinking.

Crash!

The four swords pierced through the void, traversing towards the location of the array diagram.

The anomaly caused a tremor deep within the life spring.

Inside the Lingbao Cave, which was carried here hundreds of years ago by an old ape and settled down.

On the platform, a golden-haired, six-eared monkey suddenly opened its eyes.

Years have passed, and Xiao Liu has long since shed his childhood naiveté. He now exudes the aura of a quasi-emperor level, and is no longer the little monkey who would clamor to wander the entire starry sky at the drop of a hat.

After centuries of seclusion, thanks to the fortuitous events of this time, she has not only advanced to the Great Sage realm and broken through the restrictions imposed on her by Tan Lin, but also, after a period of spiritual respite sixty years ago, successfully broken into the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Although he has only just entered this realm, compared to the geniuses of this world, excluding a very few exceptional individuals, he is already at the top level.

Moreover, the unique nature of the Six-Eared Macaque lineage, coupled with its numerous innate supernatural abilities, makes her far more difficult to deal with than cultivators of the same level.

At that moment, she was awakened from her seclusion by the sound of four swords ringing out simultaneously.

"After hundreds of years, the Four Swords of Zhuxian are stirring again... Is it that guy?!"

As if realizing something in an instant, a complex look flashed in Xiao Liu's eyes.

Although she had been confined for hundreds of years, she was not ungrateful and would not truly harbor resentment. Moreover, she was now mature enough to understand her grandfather and Tan Lin's intentions.

She couldn't help but feel grateful to him for his kindness.

"Summoning the Four Swords at this time, could it be that turmoil has already broken out outside? I went out to look for him sixty years ago but couldn't find a trace of him. At that time, I heard that he had been silent for over a hundred years. Now, even if he has achieved great success..."

As her thoughts raced, her six ears twitched slightly, and then a look of shock and human-like worry appeared on her monkey face:

"Six imperial auras... Could it be that six supreme beings have been born? That guy showing up at this time, isn't he just courting death?"

But she also knew that she had no power to influence or change anything about this matter.

The four sword lights had already torn through the void and disappeared, leaving only boiling essence and gradually calming ripples in the life spring, and the cave no longer trembled.

However, her mind was unsettled, and turmoil broke out. Although she was inside the spring of life, she could no longer peacefully seclude herself for cultivation.

However, just as she was feeling uneasy and even worried that Tan Lin might be about to die,

shuh...

After her cultivation advanced to the Quasi-Emperor level, her increasingly profound Fiery Eyes suddenly caught sight of...

Deep within the Fountain of Life, at the core of the fountain that was originally suppressed by the Four Swords of Zhuxian, a faint nine-colored immortal light seemed to flicker quietly after the four swords departed.

"Ok?"

Xiao Liu's six ears perked up simultaneously, his innate supernatural power activated once more, and he carefully sensed.

The nine-colored celestial light at the very core of the spring had just flickered extremely faintly and vanished in an instant, given the special nature of this place.

If it weren't for her greatly improved cultivation and her keen sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as a Six-Eared Macaque, she probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Suddenly, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes:

"Could there be some secret hidden beneath this spring of life?"

She hesitated for a moment.

Although the four swordsmen have left, even if she activates the magic of the Spirit Treasure lineage, she may not be able to enter the core area. Exploring it would undoubtedly be risky.

But that nine-colored celestial light held a strange attraction for her...

Ultimately, the monkey's curiosity triumphed over its caution.

"I'll just take a look, not go in completely. If I get a little closer, I'll use my supernatural powers to perhaps get a better sense of what it is. Then I'll decide whether or not to take the risk..."

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu's figure immediately swayed, he muttered incantations, and then transformed into a golden light, silently diving into the depths of the Life Spring, probing towards the source of the strange light at the bottom of the spring.

at the same time,

Outside, in a corner of the starry sky, in a desolate star field.

This place is far from the ancient lands of life, and even ordinary stars are quite sparse. The surrounding area was originally desolate, making it the most common "desolate region" in the universe.

But at this moment, this desolate region is far from peaceful.

Rumble!!

Vast, boundless thunderclouds gathered in the starry sky, stretching for countless light-years.

If a cultivator were to observe it, they would know that the thunderclouds were not ordinary tribulation clouds, but rather seemed to be interwoven with countless laws, presenting a chaotic color.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and even the faint phantoms of immortal spirits such as true dragons, divine phoenixes, and qilin floated in the sea of ​​thunder. Furthermore, blurry palaces, ancient pagodas, and the phantoms of three thousand gods and demons appeared within it.

Judging by this intensity, is this a sign that someone is about to undergo the "Tribulation of Attaining Enlightenment"?!

Moreover, upon closer examination of the thunderclouds, a hidden entity discovered that the tribulation clouds were not a single layer, nor a single piece, but rather two pieces and four layers!

Within the purple light,

The two figures stood some distance apart, facing each other as if they were the two poles of Yin and Yang.

The figure at the Yang position radiated golden divine light, its blood and energy as vast as the sea. For a moment, it even seemed poised to overwhelm the still-brewing purple light.

It was Tan Lin.

After emerging from the Heavenly Soldier Star's Creation Ground, he no longer suppressed his cultivation. Under the shroud of tribulation clouds, his aura crossed the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor, vaguely reaching the ninth level.

His indestructible golden body's energy and blood erupted in full force, and the vast power of his internal laws became almost tangible at this moment, launching an attack on the barrier of great success.

Golden blood energy transformed into a true dragon, coiling around its body, its roar shaking the heavens.

Before him, a porcelain jar containing an immeasurable amount of space floated silently. The jar had no lid, and a pool of crimson blood was visibly rippling gently within it.

The crimson blood was like a sea, a testament to his centuries-long preparation for achieving his ultimate goal, a transformation of his very being.

From this day forward, his golden blood will transform into crimson gold...

Boom!!

At the cathode position,

Another graceful figure was shrouded in chaotic energy, her slender figure and flowing black dress undoubtedly belonging to Li Qingjue.

She released her suppression before Tan Lin, and now, having completely transformed into her acquired chaotic body and perfected it, she has already faced her first tribulation.

Although the aura he is currently exuding shows signs of reaching the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, the Heavenly Tribulation has not yet ended, so his footing has not yet firmly landed on the top step of the Quasi-Emperor realm, let alone launched an attack on the Imperial Realm.

boom……

At this moment, the first round of heavenly tribulation descended, seemingly accompanied by ten thousand roars, resonating with the myriad strands of alien origins surrounding her. This caused her aura to completely solidify at the quasi-eighth level.

He was baptized by heavenly tribulation, his body covered in blood.

At this moment, it was as if she were the embodiment of the Great Dao, about to ascend to the heavens in one step and directly break through to the Dao level!
