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

"You brat! How dare you..."

The Supreme Lord of Beginning Light roared, feeling that the other party was pushing him too far. A look of madness flashed in his eyes, and he was about to go all out and fight Tan Lin to the death.

however,

Tan Lin had anticipated this.

[Reverse·All Causes Perspective] He maintained this state throughout, and at this moment, from an extremely high vantage point, he looked down and easily caught a flaw in the process of the First Light Supreme's sublimation.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

Within the vortex barrier of the Soul Beads, of the thirteen remaining deep crimson light spots, one of the forty percent of the fireflies within that single light spot instantly diminished by another ten percent, leaving only thirty percent, and it was constantly being consumed.

But the benefits that came with it were also very obvious, allowing him to crush everything in the battle with overwhelming force!

boom……

As the Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword burst forth, his right hand simultaneously formed a fist, unleashing the invincible will of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, which slammed fiercely into a certain part of the First Light Supreme's body.

Boom! !

The Supreme Being of the Beginning Light was struck as if by lightning, with invisible energy raging within his body.

His boiling blood and qi and the laws of the Dao were instantly thrown into chaos, and the process of sublimation was abruptly interrupted.

"Cough...cough..."

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

"How...how do you know so much about my ascension process?"

Chu Guang Supreme looked at Tan Lin in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

Tan Lin did not answer. The Immortal Ascension Cauldron crashed down again, this time completely suppressing the Supreme Being of the Beginning Light under the cauldron, and also taking away the broken Heaven-Opening Axe from his hand.

"Use your body to sacrifice to the cauldron..."

Tan Lin whispered, his hands forming a seal. The Immortal Cauldron erupted with dazzling immortal light, beginning to refine the Primordial Light Supreme within the cauldron, whose aura had weakened to the extreme.

In this state, the latter might not even need him to take action. Without fresh "blood food" to nourish him, he would naturally pass away in no time.

"No! I'm not reconciled! How can I, who have dominated the world, die here?! Die at the hands of a mere brat like you..."

The Supreme Being of Primordial Light roared and struggled frantically inside the cauldron.

Although the Ascension Cauldron is incomplete, it is, after all, a celestial artifact forged by an Emperor. Having absorbed the essence of a Great Supreme Being, while its power may not be immeasurable, it is at least usable.

Now that he's under Tan Lin's control, how could he possibly break free so easily?

However, on his deathbed, he, who had participated in the ancient hunt and shared the flesh and blood, and essence of the Suiren Emperor,

Like Jiao Kong, in the inexplicable calm before death, he suddenly sensed something amiss from the subtle clues in his earlier exchange with Tan Lin.

Those were real, objective traces; any action would leave a mark, a fact that even the extraordinary power of the Soul Pearl could not easily conceal.

"You?! You are 'him'?! You are... the Emperor Suiren!!"

In his final moments, he suddenly roared from within the cauldron, but all sound and movement were sealed off by the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and the [Barrier of All Causes] imposed by Tan Lin outside.

Then a few breaths passed.

The roaring sound from the cauldron gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely.

Thus, yet another ancient supreme being has fallen!

And the time between the deaths of Supreme Horned Void, or rather, the combined time between the deaths of these two Supreme Beings, was less than ten breaths!

This is absolutely appalling...

At the same time, the entire universe was utterly shaken. The heroes, still reeling from the immense shock of the rapid fall of the Supreme Being of the Void, had not yet reacted...

Upon realizing that yet another supreme being had fallen in the world, the people were first speechless, and then erupted in uproar!

By this point, they were beginning to truly feel that...

Perhaps this immortal being of this era truly has the power to turn the tide and quell this turmoil?

This time, even the major forbidden zones, as well as places like the Underworld, the Ancestral Star and Ancestral Cave of the Overlord Body, and the Ancestral Court of the Holy Spirit—all entities that are practically forbidden zones of life—were moved.

Even they were starting to get restless...

……

The Purple Star Domain, high in the heavens.

Jiang Wanqing wore a gold-threaded moon white dress.

At this moment, she stood gracefully at the base of the magic array, with the Human Emperor Banner as the core of the field array pattern. Her clothes fluttered in the wind at high altitude, like a goddess descending to earth, making the magnificent starry sea outside the realm pale in comparison.

When the commotion was heard, her shimmering gaze shifted from the direction of the Big Dipper to the new source.

What the eye could see was a magnificent spectacle of a supreme being's fall, faintly visible even across an endless galaxy...

Incredulous, her chest heaved slightly with the surge of emotion.

Even with her aloof and proud demeanor, upon guessing that the person had most likely killed another ancient supreme being, a strange ripple of light once again appeared in her bright, starry eyes.

However, this time the ripples are far greater than ever before.

"He was able to kill two supreme beings in just over ten breaths... If you think about it, he must have started his cultivation journey decades later than I have?"

Jiang Wanqing murmured softly, her usually calm heart now churning with uncontrollable waves.

Born into the Ziwei Jiang family, she was hailed as a prodigy from a young age, possessing extraordinary talent and advancing rapidly in her career.

Having attained the quasi-emperor level in just a few centuries, and having reached the final few steps of that level, her ambition was naturally high.

Throughout history, even those who have attained enlightenment, even in the present moment, are all worthy of her temporary, slight admiration.

But if we're talking about those who truly inspire "admiration," there aren't many.

For example, the ancient Emperor Suiren only triggered his Dao-attaining tribulation three or four thousand years ago. If he hadn't been the first person in history to successfully cultivate both the Yin and Yang energies, and hadn't made great contributions to humanity, he would be worthy of respect.

But stripping away the halo of these two great achievements, in her opinion, if she were born in the same era, she might not be unable to compete with her.

From the moment she embarked on the path of cultivation, she was determined to attain enlightenment!

Among her contemporaries, few truly met her standards and could serve as rivals, especially men of this era, who were even fewer.

For some unknown reason, this great era seems to be dominated by women, with truly outstanding male cultivators being extremely rare.

But it wasn't until hundreds of years ago, when she first encountered that person on the forbidden ancient road, that she truly found him incredibly amazing, even though his cultivation level was lower than hers at that time.

Whether it's "character" or any other aspect,

And at this moment,

When one "witnesses" that person, amidst such chaos, with his newly perfected body, consecutively slaying two supreme beings, and in such a devastating manner...

Her views were thrown into turmoil again.

In the presence of such an extraordinary figure, her innate pride and aloofness vanished completely.

Not only that, but at this moment, an indescribable sense of admiration quietly grew in her heart.

She was self-aware enough to know that if she continued to see herself as the other person's "rival," she would only be a joke. At least for now, the other person had become the target she needed to catch up with.

Before today, that person, whose cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, was amazing in her eyes, but at what level was he?

It seems that everyone in the myriad realms has forgotten that this person who slew two supreme beings was, before today, far less unattainable even for the most outstanding talents of the time.

There is even a small group of people who are able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them, or even surpass them...

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, she felt an urge to go out and follow that person.

However, impulsiveness is just that—impulsiveness. She possessed reason; with her current cultivation and combat strength, going out into the world would only make her a fleeting flower in the ocean waves, easily ended by any wave in the chaos.

Now, all she can do is work with others to protect this small part of the Ziwei Star Region, and that would be the best she can do...

"If this turmoil can be quelled, and he is still alive... I must go and pay him a visit..."

Jiang Wanqing's thoughts raced, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light.

It was an admiration for the strong, an acknowledgment of the truly invincible among her peers, and even a hint of a stirring deep within her heart that she herself was unaware of.

She was proud by nature, but that was precisely why she admired strength even more.

Tan Lin's actions today have completely shattered her emotional defenses.

Not far away, Suiren Lianlei, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, noticed Jiang Wanqing's subtle expression.

Perhaps guessing what the other party was thinking, a strange look flashed across her eyes.

……

Rumble...

at the same time,

On the edge of the universe, before the crumbling Immortal Execution Sword Formation.

"How long has it been? Chu Guang... has also perished?"

Holding the Longevity Sword, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, amidst the chaotic mist, had his previously calm and composed expression turn completely somber.

He had just joined forces with the three supreme beings, Demon Mist, Rebirth, and Fallen Immortal, and had already broken through the formation to a certain extent.

In just a few more breaths, the sword formation will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and then the Devouring Goddess within the formation will be killed.

however,

The news of the fall of supreme beings, which came from the Big Dipper and a corner of the universe, struck the four of them like two heavy hammers.

"The two battlefields are separated by endless star fields. Did he not pay any 'price' for using those methods?"

The Supreme Being's voice was hoarse, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

He had been torn apart alive by Tan Lin, though his body had been reconstructed.

However, the losses were enormous, and he already hated Tan Lin to the core, but he also harbored some fear of him.

Seeing that the other party could so swiftly kill two supreme beings, the fear had turned into intense unease.

"Moreover... none of them managed to achieve the ultimate sublimation."

The Demon Mist Supreme was surrounded by swirling gray mist, his tone chilling:

"Once could be a coincidence, but twice in a row, what does that mean?"

This means that kid has the means to interrupt our ascension process, which is simply...unbelievable!

The Fallen Immortal Supreme remained silent, only looking up at the sword formation.

At this moment, the Zhuxian Sword Formation, lacking full control, was already teetering on the brink of collapse under the fierce attack of the four supreme beings.

Within the formation, Li Qingjue's aura was weak, his chaotic energy was disordered, and countless fragments of alien origin magic were intertwined and colliding, clearly severely hindering his breakthrough into the Imperial Dao Domain.

But she persevered through gritted teeth, her lonely eyes flashing with stubbornness and ruthlessness.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality abruptly withdrew his gaze, his eyes blazing with murderous intent:

"This boy's methods are unpredictable, and his combat strength exceeds expectations."

We must kill this Devouring Heaven Maiden before he returns with the cauldron to eliminate any future trouble!

Otherwise, if the two join forces, and with the aid of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, the variables would be too great!

"Don't worry about the heavenly tribulation..."

The voice has not fallen,

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality launched the first attack, and the Immortality Sword erupted with an unprecedented emerald green light.

With a single slash, the sword light tore through the ancient blue sky, striking the same spot on the already cracked sword curtain!

"break!"

The Supreme Beings of Rebirth, Demonic Mist, and Fallen Immortals knew there was no turning back, and they all roared in unison.

In an instant, they unleashed the power of the three supreme ancient imperial weapons—the World-Reflecting Bowl, the Immortal-Binding Rope, and the Divine Demon Lamp—simultaneously. The imperial laws surged like a reversed galaxy, crashing down with a deafening roar!

Rumble!!!

The already collapsing Zhuxian Sword Formation finally succumbed to the full force of the four supreme beings' all-out attack.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the starry sky as the light curtain of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation shattered inch by inch, like broken glass!
