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

"There is still one remaining question: if the legendary Emperor Suiren had possessed such a secret treasure or method, he would very likely not have perished. This is a contradiction."

However, it's also possible that such methods have some limitations...

"That's possible..."

The Supreme Being of Rebirth nodded, a profound glint flashing in his eyes:

"If that's true, then this child holds a great secret. If this secret originates from the same source as the one possessed by the Suiren Emperor in the past, then it's no wonder that the Undying Emperor has been making moves in secret..."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Mist Supreme smacked his lips:

"This child may even possess clues to a secret treasure comparable to the Heavenly Treasure, the legacy of the Suiren Emperor..."

I'm becoming increasingly curious about just how many secrets he holds!

At this point, as if remembering something, he suddenly said:

"Do you think it's possible that this child is actually the Suiren Emperor?"

…………

Chapter 278 Each with their own ulterior motives, feeling like they have thorns in their backs (6K long chapter, please subscribe!)

Is it possible that this child is the Suiren Emperor?

Upon hearing these words from the Demon Mist Supreme, the eyes of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the other man narrowed.

They exchanged a glance, but remained silent, as if deep in thought.

Seeing this, the Demon Mist Supreme sneered inwardly.

The two of them had just been singing in unison, and they almost managed to really confuse him.

That Celestial Venerable of Immortality, relying on his past rule over the Underworld, spoke without thinking.

What kind of bullshit Heavenly Treasure is this?

If your statements are vaguely contradictory, how credible are they?

They even claimed that they had determined that the great secret on the indestructible golden body was related to a secret treasure.

That's ridiculous!

Previously, when he was born, he went to the outer realms to reap rewards. On his way, he passed through the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and had a subtle exchange of divine thoughts with "that person" there.

What they obtained was completely irrelevant to what the Celestial Venerable of Immortality had said.

It's conceivable that even those who personally appeared in ancient times to target Emperor Suiren could only barely deduce a few "clues" about the great secrets he possessed, and these clues were completely inconsistent with this.

How can this Celestial Venerable of Longevity make such a judgment?

Those who didn't know better would think that the Heavenly Treasure was on him, and that he possessed some incredible power that allowed him to see through all sorts of things...

Putting everything else aside, one of these two must be lying, or perhaps neither the person in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation nor the Celestial Venerable of Longevity is telling the truth!

If that's the case, he might as well spout some nonsense.

Trying to get him to put in more effort next time? Dream on!

"What you say is unlikely, but it's not impossible..."

The Supreme Being of Rebirth was the first to break the silence.

"Actually, compared to speculation about this matter..."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Eternal Celestial Venerable, realizing that he had ultimately failed to ensnare the Demonic Mist Supreme. He then changed the subject:

"Since this boy's 'escape technique' is so unpredictable and impossible to ascertain, we should not waste any more time here..."

"Among the six of us who have been born, Jiao Kong and Fellow Daoist Chu Guang are in the worst condition and urgently need nourishment. Compared to prolonging their lives, I think everything else should be put aside for them..."

The Demon Mist Supreme coldly snorted:

"If they had joined us shortly after undergoing their tribulation in those indestructible golden bodies, even if they had only 'participated without putting in the effort' and hadn't risked intervening in the tribulation clouds, they would have already broken through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!"

As they were speaking,

The three of them shifted their gaze from the ancient star to the edge of the universe.

There, the sword formation exuded a murderous aura, chaotic energy permeated the air, and tribulation lightning rolled. Li Qingjue was still undergoing his tribulation and transformation, but as the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable had predicted, his progress had been slow so far.

Furthermore, a Fallen Immortal Supreme remained there, occasionally using methods and secret techniques to interfere remotely without affecting himself, causing his condition to continuously decline.

If this trend continues, and Li Qingjue continues to transform and even challenge, he will only perish!

"Knowing full well that the 'Devouring Heaven Maiden' will fail in one fell swoop, this young man is still risking his life to attract our attention and buy her time. Could it be that he has other plans? Or is he simply acting rashly and overestimating his abilities, wanting to sacrifice himself to stop this turmoil?"

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality spoke softly, his gaze growing cold.

"In any case, the six of us who have emerged this time are all flawless emperors of our time. We can easily slaughter them without even needing to ascend. In the face of absolute power, all schemes are nothing but a joke..."

The Supreme Being of Rebirth said quietly:

"Why not contact the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body? Tell them to stop watching the show. If they feel it's not good to take action, then let them focus on breaking the formation and suppressing that Devouring Heaven Maiden. After everything is under control, we can give them the body of the Great Completion Golden Body!"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality frowned and said:

"Why should one side be allowed to intervene and divide the spoils of war? This child's remains should be enshrined in the Immortal Mausoleum by this humble Taoist priest..."

However, what you said isn't entirely unacceptable, but the bait needs to be changed a bit..."

"Since this boy is determined to delay, we cannot let him have his way."

That Devouring Heaven Maiden, trapped within the sword formation, is merely a sitting duck; she can't escape. We should now return to the borderlands, focus all our efforts on breaking the formation, and kill that woman first. Then we'll see what tricks she can pull!

"good!"

The Demon Mist Supreme nodded:

"However, the Devouring Heaven Maiden is constantly attacking the Imperial Dao Domain, and the danger is ever-present, making it somewhat troublesome. Breaking the formation without taking damage won't be so easy. I hope that you two fellow Daoists will stop holding back later..."

"Haha... Fellow Daoist, rest assured, that's only natural."

"It's time to have Jiao Kong and Chu Guang come over for a gathering. They should both be reaping rewards for the first or second time, so their need for replenishment shouldn't have risen to an excessively high level..."

In the blink of an eye, as their thoughts rapidly intertwined, the three supreme beings reached a preliminary consensus.

Without further hesitation, they turned and traversed the void, returning to the edge of the universe.

As for the faint battle fluctuations coming from the direction of the Big Dipper, the three of them only glanced at them and then ignored them.

"It's over there in Jiaokong."

The Supreme Being of Rebirth sensed for a moment, then sneered:

"That guy isn't in good shape, so he's become an easy target in the eyes of that 'youngster'..."

"Young people are still too naive..."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality sneered:

"Although Jiao Kong's condition has declined, he is still a former emperor. It's good that that kid came knocking on our door. It will push Jiao Kong to the limit and make him exert more effort!"

"We still need to keep an eye on him; that kid has a very important secret..."

During their conversation, the three of them transformed into streaks of light and returned to the front of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation a moment later.

wow...

Soon, on the edge of the universe, the chaotic sea of ​​thunder churned, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation trembled violently.

Inside the sword formation, Li Qing stared in despair at the four imperial figures outside the formation, a hint of solemnity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The four ancient supreme beings have gathered to jointly attack the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, but their master is absent.

She knew that perhaps her most dangerous moment had arrived...

Rumble!

bang... bang...

Wow!

The four supreme beings no longer probed or interfered as before, but truly began to exert their efforts to break the formation in one fell swoop and completely eliminate her, this "variable" who was transforming and constantly trying to break into the realm of the imperial path.

boom!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The emerald green light of the Longevity Sword slashed down, each strike containing a terrifying Dao principle that could sever life and cut off the Dao, fiercely striking the sword screen and leaving deep cracks.

The World-Reflecting Bowl hung high, and the chaotic energy within it fell down, as heavy as billions of stars, causing the sword formation to shake violently and making Li Qingjue's blood and qi surge even more violently.

The Binding Immortal Rope, like a gray venomous dragon, relentlessly gnawed at the weak points of the sword formation, trying to find an opening and break through in one fell swoop.

The black and white flames of the Divine Demon Lamp intertwined, transforming into chaotic flames that scorched the sword array's light barrier, attempting to burn through this unprecedented killing array.

When the four supreme beings join forces, how terrifying is their power?

Although the Zhuxian Sword Formation was powerful, it ultimately lacked a dedicated mastermind.

Li Qingjue was distracted by his tribulation and could only barely maintain the operation of the sword formation with a sliver of his mind, unable to unleash most of its power.

At this moment, under the fierce attack of the four supreme beings, the cracks on the sword screen are increasing, spreading like a spider web, as if it will collapse at any moment.

"cough……"

Inside the sword formation, Li Qingjue groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

At the critical moment of her breakthrough to the Imperial Realm, chaotic energy surged around her, and fragments of the Taiyin and Taiyang Dharma Paths intertwined within her body, attempting to merge into one in an alternative way and transform into the true Chaos Origin.

However, the attacks from the four supreme beings outside continued, and the terrifying imperial laws seeped in through the sword formation, constantly interfering with her transformation, causing her blood and qi to churn and her Dao principles to become disordered.

Even more difficult is that heavenly tribulations are constantly striking down.

Her forceful attempt to break into the Imperial Realm brought about an unprecedented and terrifying calamity upon herself.

Chaotic Thunder, Yin-Yang Tribulation, Five Elements Annihilation Light, Spacetime Turbulence Slash...

One divine punishment after another struck her, aiming to completely obliterate this "defiant" person.

Beset by internal and external troubles, it is caught in a double bind.

Even with Li Qingjue's strong will, he felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment.

Her body was constantly cracking, and her chaotic blood spilled out, only to be collected and refined by her using a secret technique.

However, as the injuries accumulated and his aura weakened, the process of breaking through to the Imperial Realm became increasingly difficult.

"We can't stop..."

Li Qingjue gritted her teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She knew very well that if she stopped her attacks and focused all her energy on controlling the sword formation, she might be able to hold out for a little longer.

But by then, fate will be sealed. Without the deterrent effect of the heavenly tribulation, and with the others hesitant to act decisively, she will ultimately be unable to escape death.

With the four supreme beings joining forces and each wielding their own ultimate weapons, breaking the formation is only a matter of time.

The sword formation might even be broken faster...

Her only chance of survival now lies in successfully breaking through to the Imperial Realm or transforming into a true flawless Chaos Body.

Only then does she have the strength to fight against the Supreme Being, turn the tide, and... share the burden of her master.

"My master entrusted me with the sword formation and left me the Divine Silkworm Robe... I must not let him down!"

Li Qingjue murmured to himself.

She simply ignored the attacks from the outside world and focused all her energy on circulating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

It recklessly devoured all the surrounding essence, principles, and even the power of heavenly tribulations, turning them into its own power to break through that invisible barrier.

Between transforming into a chaotic body and attempting to break through to the realm of the Emperor, she clearly chose to abandon the transformation and directly attempt to reach the Dao level!

boom!

A loud bang came from inside her, as if something had been forced open.

The chaotic energy around her surged, and the myriad paths began to merge in a shallow way. Strands of impure chaotic origins arose from her sage platform and flowed to her limbs and bones.

"It's good that it works..."

The tiny figure, formed from the essence of magic, barely squeezed into that domain. Li Qingjue felt somewhat relieved, but his expression immediately changed.

Because just as she made some progress in her attack, the attacks from the four supreme beings outside suddenly intensified.
