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

"If that's the case, then... die!"

Without further ado, Shi Huang unleashed his black halberd, its blade tearing through the universe as it aimed directly at Li Qingjue.

At the same time, the other supreme beings also made their moves again.

Eight paths of slaughter descended simultaneously.

This time, the target is not only Tan Lin, but also Li Qingjue!

Clearly, they no longer intended to hold back and were going to kill the two of them in one fell swoop!

"Qingjue...go..."

Tan Lin's weak voice rang out. He mustered his last bit of strength to activate the Soul Pearl's divine power and unleash a forbidden technique one last time to buy Li Qingjue a chance to survive.

But Li Qingjue wouldn't listen:

"Master, this time... let your disciple protect you."

Li Qingjue said softly, then turned around and smiled at Tan Lin.

A smile appeared on her face—that was truly rare.

But at this moment, that smile clearly carried a hint of farewell.

clatter……

She moved gracefully forward, facing the eight supreme beings.

"you?"

Tan Lin's pupils contracted slightly, but all of this happened in the blink of an eye. The [Translocation of Causes] technique, due to its excessive sealing, couldn't sustain him and his men any longer.

The Soul Bead's divine power failed for the first time, and his own condition was weakened.

He didn't even have time to unleash his full power immediately, because the supreme beings surrounding him from all sides were already unleashing their devastating attacks, sealing off the void.

If we were to activate [Transfer of Causes] again at this point, I wonder how much it would cost.

Of course, it is still possible to achieve reincarnation through physical disintegration; this is the fundamental and miraculous power of the Soul Bead, unlike the secondary effects of the [Barrier of All Causes], which are the result of transformation.

But what if he were to be reincarnated now? What would happen to Li Qingjue?

"Hopefully, the Divine Silkworm Robe... can protect her from death..."

Tan Lin's eyes flickered, and his heart, which had been like an ancient well, was now gradually sinking to its lowest point.

boom……

In their field of vision, Li Qingjue took a step forward, his body erupting with the aura of "ten thousand paths," and chaotic energy surged forth.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhuxian Sword in his hand rang out, and blood-red patterns appeared on its blade.

That's... she's using her own lifeblood to refine it!

This would allow her to recover to its original state, thus helping her intercept this second, deadly attack.

wow...

Finally, she unleashed a sword strike.

At that moment, the entire heavens and earth seemed to fall silent for a moment, or rather, time seemed to freeze there.

Everything seemed to slow down.

Then, an indescribable, terrifying divine power slashed out from Li Qingjue's sword.

hum...

With a single sword strike, chaos was shattered, and heaven and earth were separated!

An indescribable sword light burst forth from the Immortal Execution Sword, almost illuminating the eternal blue sky, tearing apart the edge of the universe, and heading towards the eight imperial killing paths!

boom!!!

An indescribable collision erupted at this moment.

The entire desolate edge of the universe was engulfed by blinding light.

Stars vanished in swathes, the void turned into complete chaos, and even the river of time seemed to be stirred up at this moment, scattering specks of silver light.

Swish!

This strike suddenly illuminated the entire universe. Countless heroes from all realms peered into this place, and many were temporarily blinded, with some even having their eyeballs ruptured.

Countless people screamed in agony.

At this very moment, the real-time situation on the edge of the universe is shrouded in daylight, and apart from the few people within it, almost no one can detect it.

bang...

click... click...

During this time, however, there was a distinct dull, cracking sound that rang out in broad daylight, as if something other than flesh and blood had completely exploded.

Tan Lin could see that the Immortal Ascension Cauldron had collapsed again, with fragments of the green cauldron exploding like rain of light throughout the universe, falling on the original sites of many life forms or into the desolate starry sky.

At the last moment, he pushed the immortal cauldron he was protecting in front of him towards Li Qingjue.

Although Li Qingjue shielded him, he himself could not avoid being affected by such a terrifying and destructive collision; his primordial spirit had exploded just a moment ago.

It is currently struggling to coalesce, but no matter what, it is impossible to reshape its physical body.

He had truly reached the end of his life.

Even with the Undying Golden Body, a physique that could withstand the most desperate situations, uphold the true meaning of undying spirit and invincible will, and remain standing time and time again in an inconceivable way, it was truly burned out.

At this point, he practically had no choice but to activate the Soul Pearl to reincarnate.

Fortunately, the Ascension Cauldron blocked part of the fatal impact for Li Qingjue, and the Divine Silkworm Robe further served as a buffer.

As a result, although Li Qingjue's demonic body was also blown apart, his essence and primordial spirit were not seriously damaged; he was only injured.

Of course, the most important thing is that the other party's acquired chaotic body has a strong foundation. Otherwise, if it were a cultivator who has not yet truly attained enlightenment, he would have already died and his cultivation would have been extinguished.

wow...

Her proud, black-clad immortal body, resembling a treasure vase of the Great Dao, was reshaped by the interweaving of countless different origins.

Even after being reshaped, Li Qingjue's delicate body still trembled violently in broad daylight; her black dress, partially formed by the condensation of Dao principles, shattered inch by inch at every moment, only to reform at every instant.

Being in the heart of the battlefield, where the aftershocks of the fierce clashes were still lingering, her condition was extremely unstable; bloodstains were visible on her snow-white skin along her back and legs.

"Pfft...cough! Cough...cough..."

She coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her body had just been reconstructed, and her aura instantly weakened to the extreme. She couldn't even stand up and staggered backward.

But at least she managed to block it!

It blocked the combined attack of eight supreme beings!

Even if two or three of these supreme beings were not actually present in their true forms, it is still an unprecedented achievement.

Although she only managed to block it for a moment and paid a certain price herself, she did manage to block it!

Time passed in an instant, the daylight gradually faded, and her aura began to recover.

Upon seeing this, the supreme beings stationed in the eight directions all became solemn, and as they gradually closed in, they silently began to prepare another round of killing techniques.

Their attack just now was unrestrained; aside from not being fully refined and some individuals not even reaching their true form, it was practically their strongest move.

After all, what they sought was to suppress the two men in one fell swoop, not to kill them completely.

Unexpectedly, the woman detonated the attack during the collision, thus dissipating it.

"Qingjue, come here..."

Tan Lin's weak voice rang out behind Li Qingjue.

"Cough...Master?"

The latter, coughing up blood, turned back and gave Tan Lin a poignant smile:

"I haven't... disgraced you, have I?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Instead of following Tan Lin's advice, she moved forward as her aura returned, wielding the already cracked Zhuxian Sword, and prepared to face the approaching Supreme Beings.

Seeing this, Tan Lin remained silent.

How could he not see that the other person had "changed" a bit?

Or to put it more precisely, it no longer suppressed the nature that had shaped it in the bloody path.

This is the real her; her previously deliberately restrained subjective consciousness is now revealed, and she has become less obedient to him.

He was naturally pleased with this outcome, but now was not the time for the other party to act as they pleased.

"Things are beyond saving. You should go now. Don't try to be brave again. Remember, live well. We'll meet again someday..."

Sensing that the previously welded-together void began to tremble as the massive collision swept through, Tan Lin silently activated the Soul Bead's divine power once more.

[Translocation of all causes]!

hum...

In an instant, crimson mist enveloped Li Qingjue, and as the words reached his ears, he turned around and a hint of panic appeared in his lonely eyes.

"Master..."

The moment she spoke, she was desperately trying to walk back.

Tan Lin just watched her quietly, his illusory soul and figure floating in place.

Wow!

But at this moment, or rather, just a moment before,

Outside the distant forbidden ancient road region, a subtle void fluctuation slowly manifested in the outside world.

Then,

A furry, golden figure stumbled and staggered out of the void.

That was... a monkey.

To be precise, it was a six-eared macaque.

Although she was covered in blood, she was full of energy.

However, after breaking through that forbidden ancient path that countless people sought refuge on during times of true turmoil, they found it impossible to enter.

She began traversing the void, heading directly towards this desolate edge of the universe.

During this time, she tightly clutched something in her arms, a "celestial treasure" whose energy she had hastily sealed and suppressed in her haste.

At this moment, if an emperor-level figure were to use his divine power to look at her, he would see that what she held in her arms was a supreme pill the size of a dragon's eye, radiating nine-colored immortal light!

The supreme beings within the forbidden zone are mostly quite familiar with those pills.

That is the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which allows even an emperor-level figure to continue their peak imperial life for two thousand years, even if they have taken the elixir of immortality and lived another life!

Unfortunately, at this moment, all beings in the myriad realms and the several forbidden zones were focused on that desolate land at the edge of the universe.

Perhaps only when she gets really close will she be noticed.

However, that should have been several breaths, or even more than ten breaths later.

But Tan Lin is different.

Under the 【Reverse Perspective of All Causes】, he clearly perceived the factor that had stirred up an unusual ripple in what was originally a stagnant pool of water.

Of course, if that were all,

Having exhausted his life force and intending to send Li Qingjue away, he activated the Soul Pearl's power to reincarnate once more, so he probably wouldn't pay much attention to it anymore.

However, there is also a rare, purely causal relationship between the person who came and him.

Even without spending the effort to investigate, he knew who it was.

'Sixth grade? What's she doing here?'
