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

In his final moments, he attempted to self-destruct, taking Tan Lin with him.

But Tan Lin was prepared. In his special state of returning with the Three Qi, he completely overwhelmed his opponent. Combining the extraordinary power of the Soul Pearl with the advantages of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, he even prevented his opponent from self-destructing...

Rumble... Rumble...

Another breath passed, and three rounds later.

Tan Lin unleashed a punch, the Myriad Handprints of Martial Might bursting forth with invincible fist intent, showcasing his full combat power.

Wow!

With the force of the punch, the body of the Supreme Horned Void shattered inch by inch, turning into a rain of blood that flowed into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

"No, no, this Dao, this Qi, has clearly already entered the realm of the Imperial Dao! You...you are Emperor Suiren?! It's you...it really is you!!"

On his deathbed, Supreme Horned Void was unusually calm, and the scenes before his death seemed to replay in his mind.

He deduced the other party's true identity from the traces of magic that Tan Lin used!

He stared wide-eyed at Tan Lin, as if trying to imprint this unfamiliar yet vaguely familiar face into the depths of his soul.

But by then, it was too late to see everything clearly.

Tan Lin remained indifferent. He raised his hand and grabbed the shattered flesh and soul of the Horned Void Supreme, then sacrificed them to the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

Boom!

The Immortal Ascension Cauldron trembled, its mouth transforming into a black hole that swallowed everything belonging to the Supreme Being of the Horned Void.

"Using the blood of a supreme being to sacrifice to the Immortal Cauldron... it should be usable now..."

Tan Lin whispered, his hands forming a mudra.

hum...

At this moment, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron outside erupted with unprecedentedly dazzling immortal light.

Ancient patterns lit up on the body of the cauldron, as if ethereal figures of immortals were floating within it.

boom……

In an instant, an immense and boundless supreme pressure emanated from the cauldron, sweeping across all the heavens and myriad realms.

At this moment, all beings throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, including several forbidden zones, felt a sense of urgency and suddenly looked towards the direction beyond the Big Dipper Domain.

"This aura... is it the Ascension Cauldron?!"

"Someone sacrificed the blood of a supreme being to recreate the divine power of the Ascension Cauldron?!"

"Who is it?! Who could possibly kill a Dao-attaining cultivator?!"

"Hmm... another round of dark turmoil?"

"This child is..."

"..."

Within the restricted area, some beings that had been sleeping in the deepest slumber began to awaken.

Upon waking, they were deeply moved by the sight of the fallen supreme being from beyond the realm.

Throughout the myriad realms, countless people exclaimed in astonishment, deeply shocked, their spirits lifted, and a glimmer of hope rekindled for the future.

"How magnificent is the indestructible golden body!!"

"Your indestructible golden body, please accept our bow!!"

After a brief silence, the people of the five regions of the Big Dipper cried out and prostrated themselves before the hazy figure from beyond their domain, expressing their gratitude...

Purple Star Domain

Jiang Wanqing and Suiren Lianlei exchanged a glance, both noticing the strange look in each other's eyes.

wow...

The great battle temporarily ceased, and Tan Lin briefly stood in the void beyond the realm, with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron floating in front of him, its countless rays of immortal light illuminating the heavens.

Inside the cauldron, everything about the Supreme Being of the Horned Void had been completely refined, turning into the purest bait to nourish the Immortal Cauldron.

Everything about a supreme being is far superior to the flesh and blood of countless prodigies.

This made the cauldron appear even more ancient and heavy. Although no deities had yet emerged within it, Tan Lin considered it barely usable.

At least it's used for attack; there's no need to worry that the Supreme Being could shatter it with a single slap.

despair……

Tan Lin reached out and grasped the handle of the cauldron.

Suddenly, a subtle feeling welled up in my heart.

"One more person has missed. Let's take them down one by one..."

In the [Reverse Perspective of All Causes] state, Tan Lin was kept informed of the movements of the several supreme beings who had emerged.

laugh……

At this moment, [Transfer of Causes] was activated, and within the Soul Pearl vortex, the remaining 70% of the firefly light within the fourteenth deep crimson light point was consumed by another 10% in an instant.

hum!

At that moment, Tan Lin's figure disappeared from countless sights once again, leaving no trace, until a commotion erupted in a corner of the universe.

And only a few breaths had passed since Tan Lin appeared in the high sky above the Big Dipper!

He's racing against time!

Rewind a few breaths,

Beyond the ancient, primordial star, the barrier rippled and trembled, and the Milky Way hung upside down.

The three supreme figures of the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable, the Supreme Rebirth Venerable, and the Supreme Demonic Mist Venerable stood in mid-air.

His body exuded an aura of imperial power, pressing down on this entire star field, causing it to groan in agony.

They have been working together to attack the Emperor's Grand Array outside the ancient star for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Although the array patterns are fluctuating violently, they have not yet broken it.

"The array patterns left behind by this Emperor are truly extraordinary, connected to the field of this ancient star, and endlessly regenerating."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity held the Longevity Sword, its blade shimmering with emerald light. Each strike tore a crack in the array patterns, but the crack would instantly heal.

"That kid is hiding inside and won't come out. Is he trying to wear us down first?"

The Demon Mist Supreme had a gloomy face, and the Immortal Binding Rope, like a gray poisonous dragon, kept lashing at the great formation, emitting a deafening roar.

The Supreme Being of Rebirth was the most irritable. He had already suffered a great loss in his battle with Tan Lin, and now, unable to break through after a prolonged assault, his anger intensified.

"Whether he hides or not, even if we shatter this ancient star today, we will still find him! I want to see what kind of trouble he can cause now!"

boom!

The World-Reflecting Bowl hung high, and chaotic energy from within it dripped down, each wisp as heavy as a star, causing the great array's light screen to tremble violently.

However, just as the three supreme beings were preparing to intensify their efforts,

hum!

Deep within the ancient star, in the direction of the old site of Jiujiu Dragon Mountain, the intense aura belonging to Tan Lin suddenly vanished without warning.

It wasn't a concealment, nor a hiding, but rather a complete erasure from this world, as if it had never existed.

"Ok?"

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity was the first to notice something amiss. He frowned and began to deduce the cause using his fingers.

Emerald light flowed from his fingertips, transforming into profound runes that disappeared into the void, seeking to trace the cause and effect and capture Tan Lin's whereabouts.

However, after wandering in the void for a while, the runes darted around like headless flies, eventually shattering together and dissipating into a rain of light.

"We still can't deduce it."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity's expression darkened slightly.

"This is the second time... This person's methods of concealing the secrets of heaven are extremely sophisticated, even my method of divination for the path to immortality is difficult to detect..."

"what?!"

The Supreme Being of Rebirth was startled and also tried to shine the World-Reflecting Bowl into the depths of the ancient star.

The bowl shimmered with light, reflecting the scene of the old site of Jiujiulong Mountain.

The people of the Feathered Divine Dynasty were imprisoned on the ground, while the Immortal Ascension Cauldron floated in mid-air, shrouded in immortal light, but Tan Lin was nowhere to be seen.

He's really gone!

The rebirth of the Supreme Being is unbelievable.

"He was clearly standing in front of the cauldron just a moment ago, how could he have vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye? This ancient star is sealed off by the methods of an emperor, how could he leave silently?"

The Demon Mist Supreme's eyes flashed, and gray mist rose and fell within his pupils:

"Unless... he has some kind of escape technique that ignores array patterns and field barriers, or... he didn't even enter the ancient star of the primordial world, and that aura just now was just a decoy."

"impossible!"

The Supreme Being of the Pure Land categorically denied it:

"My World-Reflecting Bowl cannot be mistaken; the person before the cauldron just now was indeed his true form. His qi, blood, Dao aura, and even injuries cannot be faked. Unless..."

He suddenly stopped, exchanged a glance with the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Demon Mist Supreme, and all three saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Unless what?"

The Demon Mist Supreme pressed for an answer.

The Supreme Being of Rebirth remained silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Unless he has mastered some kind of secret technique that we cannot understand, allowing him to traverse endless star fields in an instant without leaving a trace,"

This method... it's practically divine!

"Near the immortals?"

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality's gaze sharpened:

"That's true. Even Xiaoyao, who created the secret of writing characters, probably couldn't have done that at his peak."

"However, I don't believe that this boy can use such a secret technique without paying any price..."

The three fell silent, each trying to deduce the answer, but still came up empty-handed.

Tan Lin vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air, disappearing completely from this world without leaving a trace.

"How strange..."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality murmured.

The Demon Mist Supreme's pupils contracted slightly:

"You mean... 'reversing time and space'? Such a secret technique no longer exists in this world..."

"It might not actually be a secret technique; it could be a secret treasure..."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity shook his head, a wise glint in his eyes:

"I'm increasingly convinced that this boy possesses some kind of extraordinary treasure..."

"Secret treasure?"

The Supreme Being of Rebirth was startled, then suddenly realized:

"You mean... the Heaven-Reaching Netherworld Treasure? But didn't you say earlier that the Heaven-Reaching Netherworld Treasure is still in the Underworld?"

"I never said that the secret treasure was the so-called Heaven-Reaching Nether Treasure. If the Heaven-Reaching Nether Treasure exists in this world, then naturally there must be other extraordinary immortal treasures..."

The words of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity were half true and half false; he patiently guided the conversation:

"Back then, when those fellow Daoists hunted down Emperor Suiren, their primary objective was probably the secret treasure he possessed."

"I have been paying attention to this matter, but unfortunately, the possible treasure disappeared with the fall of Emperor Suiren in that battle..."

The Demon Mist Supreme pondered:

"You mean... you're almost certain that this kid possesses a secret treasure similar to the Heavenly Nether Treasure? How do you know?"

"Perhaps..."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said:
