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

There are no alternative paths to enlightenment?

This is practically the fighting power of a contemporary emperor... but how is that possible?

In just one encounter, he was not only injured, but also in danger of dying!

Given the current near-total dominance in the battle, how can he possibly fight back?

He was about to have to transcend!

He had been following the fight between his opponent and Wang Sheng in the desolate wilderness of the universe. He knew that in that one-on-one battle, although his opponent had gained a slight advantage and was indeed stronger, it was still within a reasonable range.

But now, the opponent has only disappeared for a few breaths, yet their strength has soared to this level...

The difference before and after is not just a little bit!

Those who don't know the truth might think the other party has already attained enlightenment!

There must be something strange about this...

At this moment, not only those facing Tan Lin directly, but all the remaining cultivators in the Five Domains of the Big Dipper were shocked.

Having survived the ordeal, they were filled with lingering fear and excitement, but even more so with a direct and powerful impression of Tan Lin.

Everyone found it incredible.

Throughout history, there have always been a few individuals who have achieved the Great Completion Golden Body. In this ancient era alone, there have been five extremely remarkable individuals who, after attaining enlightenment in unconventional ways, suppressed turmoil.

The number of ordinary Mahayana golden statues is also close to double digits.

However, in terms of combat prowess, perhaps the figure in blue robes who, in this fierce battle with Supreme Horned Void, could easily tear apart the Supreme's flesh and blood time and time again, and forcibly seize the Supreme Emperor's weapon with his bare hands, is the one to be reckoned with.

It's highly likely that he has a real chance of reaching the pinnacle of the Great Perfection Golden Body from the ancient times.

It should be noted that he achieved mastery in less than half an hour!

If he can survive this turmoil and wait for it to subside, with his potential, he might be considered the strongest immortal body in history!

It's even possible that in the future, breaking free from these constraints and defying the heavens to achieve enlightenment...

shuh...

In the central region of the Eastern Wilderness, in the secret land of the Tianxuan Ancient Clan,

Within this realm, Gu Qingying's eyes remained unblinking, her red lips slightly parted, clearly stunned. Even knowing that this turmoil and the apocalypse unleashed by the six supreme beings were nearly irreversible, she was completely mesmerized.

While she was worried about him, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at Tan Lin's combat prowess and achievements.

This man, who indirectly became her man due to a confluence of factors, perfectly fulfilled all her fantasies about a companion on the path of cultivation when she first embarked on her journey in her youth.

Although his cultivation level has now reached Quasi-Emperor, it is still far inferior to that of the outside world.

I can only look after myself; I can't offer any help...

Does the other person still remember her?

……

Southern Wilderness of the East

Inside the Stone Village of Crimson Cloud River, Xiang Li and a group of elders witnessed how Tan Lin, in just a moment's time, had already caused the Supreme Horned Void to bleed repeatedly and retreat beyond the realm.

As they watched the Supreme Emperor's blood stain the entire starry sky of the Big Dipper, a surge of emotion welled up within them.

Despite being quite old and nearing the end of their lives, they felt as hot as when they were young!

……

Outside the territory,

Splash...

The emperor's blood fell like rain, continuously dripping down.

This can't go on...

As the Supreme Being of Horned Void's thoughts surged and countless ideas flowed through his mind, he was filled with a profound sense of unease.

He retreated in horror, trying to distance himself from Tan Lin, but the tip of the ancient imperial weapon in front of him seemed to follow him like a shadow, always pointing straight at his brow.

In this critical moment, he completely disregarded his dignity as a supreme ruler and began to roar in a hoarse voice:

"Fellow Daoists! Quickly come to my aid! This child has..."

He wanted to call upon other supreme beings for help.

But before the sound could be transmitted, the Zhuyin Soul Pearl deep within Tan Lin's soul had already shone brightly.

At this moment, Tan Lin pushed the extraordinary power of the Soul Pearl to its absolute limit.

hum...

An invisible crimson mist surged, and the [Barrier of All Causes] unfolded, enveloping the area where he and the Supreme Being of the High Heavens were located.

Not only that, [Reverse All Causes Vision] also temporarily and significantly obscures the opponent's existing traces of distress calls.

In an instant, the voice of the Supreme Lord of Horned Void was blocked and could not be transmitted.

From the outside, the area suddenly appeared empty, almost as if the stars and moon had returned to shine, and even the sounds of the battle were mostly obscured.

If it weren't for the faint traces of extreme energy still emanating from them, many people would probably think that the two had already fought in another part of the universe.

"Don't bother calling for help, it's useless. You're going to die today!"

Tan Lin's voice was calm as the spear tip pierced the void once more, this time striking three inches in front of the Supreme Lord Jiao Kong's brow. Divine energy erupted, blasting his head open and causing the existing cracks within his mortal platform to widen continuously.

His combat power is exceptional at this moment.

This was because he had briefly reconstituted his previous life's Dao Fruit with the help of the Soul Pearl's miraculous power, and unleashed the forbidden killing move "Return of the Three Qi," resulting in a surge in his combat strength due to the superposition of his realm and power.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

He was multitasking, maintaining the extraordinary and unparalleled activation of the Soul Orb.

At this very moment, within the vortex formed by the Soul Pearl barrier, the remaining fourteen deep crimson light spots are rapidly consuming their embers.

In just that instant, one-tenth of the firefly's energy within a single deep crimson dot was consumed!

Moreover, this rate of consumption did not begin at this moment. Ever since he activated the Soul Pearl's miraculous [Translocation of All Causes] to arrive at the Nine Dragon Mountain in the Primordial World, the consumption of fireflies had already reached a similar level...

No, to be precise, it was when he activated the Soul Pearl's divine power to briefly reconstruct his previous life's Dao Fruit, all in order to conceal the "abnormal activity" in the universe.

Just now, almost at the same time that his Dao Fruit briefly re-condensed, allowing him to complete his self-created forbidden ultimate move, "Return of the Three Qi,"

The traces and imprints belonging to his previous incarnation, Emperor Suiren, slowly reappeared in the universe!

Such an anomaly might go unnoticed by ordinary cultivators, but those in the same Imperial Realm, especially those who have already emerged from seclusion like the Eternal Celestial Venerable, would certainly be aware of it.

If he were to notice these signs, his secret as the Suiren Emperor would be tantamount to "confessing without being asked."

Given such a "self-exposure of identity," one can imagine that the supreme beings of the several forbidden zones, the fully-formed Overlords of the Ancestral Star, and the few remaining beings lurking in the universe would likely be restless.

He sacrificed everything from the past, and the traces of his Dao imprinted in the universe were annihilated; he vanished completely.

Now that it has returned, and is alive and kicking in a real, vibrant state, which of those supreme beings who are obsessed with immortality can truly remain unmoved?

The only difference lies in the magnitude of the subsequent reactions...

At that time, the best-case scenario awaiting him would be "fall," prematurely ending this life that he had painstakingly planned and developed...

Therefore, after briefly re-condensing his past life's Dao Fruit and unleashing the "Return of the Three Qi," his realm and combat power were superimposed. Throughout the entire process, he relied on the miraculous power of the Soul Pearl to desperately conceal this trace.

Such measures involve many aspects and are far too extensive to be considered.

This resulted in the fireflies within the Soul Pearl being consumed rapidly almost every instant.

At this rate of attrition, a whole firefly, at most, would only last for a dozen or so breaths...

If it weren't for the fact that he had accumulated a considerable fortune over the past thousand years, he wouldn't have been able to sustain such a consumption. Otherwise, he would soon not even have enough fireflies to guarantee his reincarnation!

puff……

The Supreme Being of Horned Void was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of imperial blood. This blood stained the spot where Tan Lin had sacrificed himself, and after being magnified infinitely, it landed upside down on the Immortal Ascension Cauldron in this area, causing the cauldron's walls to become mottled and faintly gleam with immortal light.

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Horned Void seemed to understand Tan Lin's intentions. Already in poor condition before his birth, with his blood and energy nearing decay, a mad glint flashed in his eyes:

"You want to kill me? You're not qualified!!"

Instead of retreating, he charged towards the spear tip, personally smashing the tip of this ancient imperial weapon to pieces, amidst the mournful cries of the gods.

He formed a hand seal, and a dazzling divine light erupted from his body.

He's finished; he needs to undergo an extreme transformation to recapture his former peak fighting power in order to have even a glimmer of hope.

Even if it means my death, I will fight Tan Lin to the death!

"Want to transcend? Too late!!"

Tan Lin sneered.

He multitasked, pushing the [Reverse All Causes Vision] to its limit. Under that infinitely elevated "vision," he quickly caught a faint stagnation in the process of the Supreme Being of the Void's sublimation.

He held his left hand together, fingers forming a sword shape, and unleashed a sword-like strike from his fist.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, the Supreme Being's figure was visible in various places in the center of the square.

boom……

As if struck by lightning, the boiling blood and Dao principles within the Jiao Kong Supreme were instantly thrown into chaos, and the process of sublimation was abruptly interrupted!

He coughed up large amounts of blood, and his breath became extremely weak.

"You... how could you know about the sublimation process? And how could you find the flaws so precisely... No, this is impossible..."

The Supreme Lord of the Horned Sky looked at Tan Lin in disbelief.

The process of reaching the pinnacle of enlightenment has certain flaws; if the state of mind is not ideal, it can be interrupted midway.

However, each Supreme Being possesses a unique flaw, which is their greatest secret. Even if their opponent is the current flawless Emperor, they may not be able to keenly detect it.

But this indestructible golden body before us has actually accomplished it!

How did he know?

Thoughts surged,

The ascension was interrupted, and the Supreme Horned Void was distraught, as if he already knew his fate. He lost all his energy and spirit and fell into deep self-doubt.

He questioned Tan Lin,

Tan Lin did not respond to this.

He pressed his advantage relentlessly, brandishing the broken Qingyuan Spear and sending the Horned Sky Supreme flying.

Then he lunged forward, unleashing a barrage of fists, palms, fingers, and kicks—a torrent of deadly techniques.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!

Five-Finger Fist, Heart Sword!

The Great Seal of Manjushri!

Yin Yang - The Great Millstone!

The secret of the character "行" (xing)! The secret of the character "斗" (dou)! The secret of the character "皆" (jie)! The secret of the character "前" (qian)...

At this moment, Tan Lin unleashed the full potential of all his knowledge and skills accumulated over five lifetimes.

Of course, he also kept activating the divine power of the Zhuyin Soul Pearl to maintain the concealment of the heavenly secrets.

boom!!

Bang!

bang... bang...

Jiao Kong Supreme was already in poor condition, and after suffering a severe injury and having his ascension interrupted, he was now being forced to retreat under Tan Lin's overwhelming attack, with no power left to fight back.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the starry sky, two figures collided violently.

As the Supreme Being of the Horned Void struggled in his death throes, his imperial blood continued to spill out, but it all fell into the inverted Immortal Ascension Cauldron, staining the cauldron red.

His body shattered and reformed time and time again, but his breath grew weaker and weaker, and he was on the verge of exhaustion.

"No! I'm not reconciled! How can I, Jiao Kong, who has dominated the world for so long, fall like this?!"

The Supreme Horned Sky roared, his eyes filled with madness and resentment.
