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

"Heal the wounds first, then..."

At that moment, Tan Lin's voice reached her ears:

"Continue to strive for the Imperial Path. Once your physique is perfected, you can let things take their natural course later. Whether you can achieve the Dao today is the key to breaking this deadlock..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingjue nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

She sat cross-legged, holding the Immortal Execution Sword horizontally in front of her knees. Within her body, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Heaven Art were simultaneously activated, and she began to frantically refine the supreme life essence contained in the blood pill.

At the same time, she once again activated her own Dao Fruit, attempting to receive the Heavenly Tribulation and continue to strive for the supreme Dao attainment position.

Rumble...

In the desolate wilderness of the universe, where she was forced to confront the Supreme Being due to the destruction of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the tribulation clouds that had temporarily subsided with the cessation of her tribulation gathered once again at this moment.

The pitch-black tribulation clouds surged in from all directions, thicker than before, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring within them, and terrifying Dao patterns could be vaguely seen weaving through the clouds.

Even more remarkably, within the tribulation clouds, there was a faint elixir of immortality, condensed from the light of the tribulation.

Looking around, some beings in the outside world could clearly see a human face slowly emerging behind the elixir of immortality, emanating a terrifying aura.

At this moment, even before the heavenly tribulation descended, Li Qingjue's body was tense.

Even without external interference for the time being, the pressure on her was immense. In just one day, she broke through from the Quasi-Seventh Stage to the Dao Stage.

Only she herself truly knows the extent of the challenges and difficulties involved!

After all, she was not Tan Lin. The other party had insights and experiences from his previous life, and even had the superimposed blessing of past life wisdom and spirituality that she was unaware of, which naturally made him defy the heavens.

To achieve instant success in an environment surrounded by enemies and inherently unstable from the start.

Even with her unparalleled talent, she felt utterly suffocated.

After all, her cultivation time was limited, and every step she took on the path required her to deduce it herself. This resulted in her foundation for achieving the Dao being insufficient, even with her unparalleled physique of Chaos Body.

In her original plan, once her physique was perfected, everything would naturally fall into place.

But time waits for no one.

Fortunately, there was only one such elixir of immortality calamity, which was still within her tolerance.

Rumble...

The heavenly tribulation was raging.

"Still want to undergo tribulation?"

In the distance, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality snorted coldly, his eyes blazing with killing intent:

"Do you really think we're just decorations? If I can interrupt you once, I can interrupt you a second time..."

Holding the Longevity Sword, he unleashed a slash that tore through the sky with emerald light, aiming straight for Li Qingjue, who was undergoing a tribulation.

This sword strike was too fast and too fierce, intertwined with the laws of the imperial path, as if it would split the entire desolate edge of the universe in two.

"Your opponent is me."

Tan Lin's eyes turned cold, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron trembled, and countless strands of "immortal light" burst forth from its mouth, transforming into a dazzling Milky Way of Dao principles that blocked his way.

clang!!!

The sword light collided with the celestial light, unleashing a deafening roar.

boom……

Terrifying energy ripples spread outwards from the point of impact in all directions.

Wherever it passed, dead stars vanished silently, and the void shattered inch by inch like a mirror.

"Attack together! Kill him first!"

"The Supreme Being of Rebirth said in a deep voice."

The World-Reflecting Bowl hung high above his head. This ultimate weapon, forged from Chaos Stone, was now facing downwards, with endless chaotic energy cascading down, transforming into a cage that enveloped Tan Lin.

Seeing Li Qingjue undergoing tribulation again, the Demon Mist Supreme and the Fallen Immortal Supreme, who had just joined forces to test Tan Lin with a few blows, also increased their attack power.

The three killing swords are unstable and need to be suppressed at all times; they only serve as a base to amplify the formation.

Even so, the combined power of the four supreme beings, each wielding their respective Dao-attaining artifacts, was already terrifying.

The Binding Immortal Rope, like a gray poisonous dragon, tore through the void, and the dense Dao patterns that it generated wrapped around Tan Lin's limbs.

wow...

The Divine Demon Lamp hangs high, its wick swaying, casting dim yellow light. Wherever that light passes, time seems to flow backward, and all things decay.

The four supreme beings joined forces, unleashing their ultimate moves. The imperial laws overwhelmed everything, turning this desolate star field into a complete wasteland.

In response, Tan Lin remained calm, facing the combined attack of the four supreme beings.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

clatter……

A light shone from between his brows, and a dim array of spiritual treasures came rushing in from not far away. It swelled with the wind and instantly transformed into a sky-covering size, stretching across the edge of the universe.

On the array diagram, the positions of the four sword marks were clearly visible, but three of them had dimmed, and only the one representing the Immortal Execution Sword was still shimmering with a faint light.

Sword, come...

Tan Lin made a single gesture with one hand.

call out!

The Zhuxian Sword before Li Qingjue's knees emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, then transformed into a blood-red rainbow, disappearing into the array diagram and coinciding with the location of the great array representing Zhuxian.

boom!!!

The array diagram trembled violently, and the incomplete Zhuxian Sword Array was activated once again.

Although only one killing sword was returned to its place, the array diagram was also incomplete.

However, with Tan Lin's profound understanding of the "group" character secret and his use of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron as the core of the incomplete grand formation,

An unparalleled killing formation, equally terrifying as a god's power, was formed at this moment!

This remnant formation is based on the Lingbao Formation Diagram, with the Zhuxian Sword as its main weapon and the Chengxian Cauldron guarding the center, controlling all laws.

The moment the formation was completed, endless killing intent soared into the sky, encompassing all the attacks of the four supreme beings.

"A spirit treasure killing formation? In such a damaged state, how can it still be so ferocious?"

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality sneered and slashed again with the Immortality Sword in his hand.

wow...

This time, the sword light was even more intense than before.

Amidst the emerald light, the faint silhouette of a towering Jianmu tree could be seen, a manifestation of his Dao, containing boundless vitality yet capable of extinguishing the life force of all things.

"town!"

Tan Lin whispered, and the Immortal Cauldron trembled. The "immortal patterns" on the cauldron glowed, resonating with the spiritual treasure array diagram under his guidance.

boom!

The remaining formation activated, gathering endless killing intent, which transformed into four blood-red sword lights, each heading towards one of the four supreme beings.

Although these four sword lights were far less powerful than the complete Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, they were still terrifyingly powerful thanks to the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and Tan Lin's own magical powers.

clang!!

bang... bang...

Four loud explosions rang out almost simultaneously.

The light of the Longevity Sword was shattered by the blood-red sword light.

A gap was cut open in the chaotic cage that the Ying Shi Bowl was hanging down.

The dim yellow light cast by the Immortal Binding Rope and the Divine Demon Lamp was also forced back by the blood-red sword light.

The combined attack of the four supreme beings was barely blocked by this incomplete killing formation!

"That's interesting..."

The Supreme Being of Rebirth licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes:

"It seems that Jiao Kong and Chu Guang died for a reason. You are much stronger than we expected... You have already reached the combat power of a contemporary emperor by only squeezing into the Imperial Realm a little bit."

"While your physique is indeed strong, it has never been this outrageous in all of history. It seems the great secret you possess is even more complex than I originally thought!"

"But that's all!"

The Demon Mist Supreme was surrounded by swirling gray mist, his voice hoarse:

"How long can this incomplete formation last? When it breaks, it will be the moment you two perish!"

Why waste words with him? Kill him!

The Fallen Immortal Supreme was the most direct; the wick of the Divine Demon Lamp suddenly brightened, and a dim yellow beam of light shone towards Tan Lin.

shuh...

Where the beam of light passed, the void decayed silently, and all things returned to annihilation, as if it were pulling everything into eternal death.

Tan Lin's gaze sharpened, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron trembled, and immortal light burst forth from its mouth, colliding with the dim yellow beam of light.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

The celestial light and the dim yellow beams intertwined and annihilated each other, erupting with a corrosive sound that made your teeth ache.

Taking this opportunity, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, the Supreme Venerable of Rebirth, and the Supreme Venerable of Demonic Mist once again made their move.

The four supreme beings joined forces, and the imperial laws surged like a vast ocean, bombarding the remnant formation from all directions.

boom!!

Boom! Boom!

The remaining formation trembled violently, the light on the Spirit Treasure Formation Diagram flickered erratically, and the Immortal Execution Sword let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the weight any longer.

This incomplete formation, after all, only had one killing sword and the formation diagram was also incomplete. Even with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and Tan Lin's own support, it was difficult to withstand the fierce attacks of the four supreme beings for a long time.

Tan Lin stood in the center of the formation, his hands forming a hand seal to maintain the operation of the remaining formation.

His body was filled with a surging crimson-gold aura, like a burning flame, pushing his condition to its peak.

The taboo of "the return of the three energies" still exists, but Tan Lin himself knows that this state is slowly fading.

The re-condensation of the Dao Fruit from the previous life is only temporary; as time goes on, this state will become increasingly difficult to maintain.

However, once he falls out of the state of "Return of the Three Qi," his combat power will revert to its original level, and may even be weaker than before.

At that time, facing the siege of the four supreme beings, they will have no power to fight back.

Tan Lin's mind raced as his gaze swept over the four supreme beings.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity possesses the longest-lasting aura and is in the best condition.

The Supreme Being of Rebirth had been severely injured by him, though his body had been reconstructed.

However, the losses were enormous, making it the weakest link among the four.

The state of Demon Mist Supreme and Fallen Immortal Supreme is somewhere in between.

The current situation is tricky, so the only option is to kill Wang Sheng at all costs, which terrifies the four people!

A punch landed!

As for sublimation? Which option would lead to sublimation if given a choice?

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Tan Lin's eyes, and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron suddenly turned around, carrying immense power, and smashed fiercely towards the Supreme Being of Rebirth who was activating the World Reflection Bowl.

"court death!"

The Supreme Being of Rebirth roared, and the World-Reflecting Bowl was turned upside down. The chaotic energy at the mouth of the bowl surged and transformed into a phantom of a vast world, which was about to swallow the Immortal Cauldron.

boom!!!

The Immortal Cauldron collided with the World-Reflecting Bowl, unleashing an even more terrifying roar than before.

The clash between the two powerful artifacts, intertwined with the laws of the imperial path, utterly shattered this void into chaos.

The Ying Shi Bowl was clearly somewhat weak, but with the support of the four-person formation, it was not at a disadvantage under the bombardment of the Immortal Cauldron!

But take this opportunity,
