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

Tan Lin frowned slightly at this, disliking the visitor's rash actions at such a critical juncture.

To plunge headlong into this deadly vortex of conflict among emperor-level figures is no different from seeking death.

His thoughts were in turmoil. He took a deep breath, before the crimson mist enveloped Li Qingjue and the [Translocation of All Causes] was fully activated.

With a thought, he enveloped himself in the excess mist as well.

Then he silently moved the anchor point from the location of Tianling in the Creation Land of the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers to the location of Xiao Liu.

At the same time, he also pushed the supernatural powers of the Soul Beads such as the [Barrier of All Causes] and the [Reverse Vision of All Causes] to their current limits, striving to escape under the noses of multiple Supreme Beings, and to leave no trace in a short period of time.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

It can simultaneously teleport two objects, including itself, and maximize its various other supernatural effects within the Soul Pearl barrier.

Before this, the fireflies that occupied 100% of the seventh deep scarlet light spot suddenly decreased by 40%!

But the effect was undoubtedly astonishing. Under the deadly trap of the void that surrounded and suppressed them, he and Li Qingjue suddenly and successfully disappeared from the spot, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

……

In the place, only shattered stars, annihilated void, and the lingering aftershocks of the imperial laws remained, silently telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

"This……"

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity stood holding a sword.

He was filled with doubt and surprise. The tip of the emerald green Longevity Sword drooped slightly, and the blade was still stained with mottled bloodstains from the battle just now, which belonged to Tan Lin and Li Qingjue.

At this moment, the chaotic and conflicting "daylight" of the Imperial Laws completely faded away, and the core of the battlefield was empty.

Seeing this, he frowned, his divine sense sweeping silently across the starry sky that had been repeatedly ravaged by the imperial auras of the eight of them, like a vast tide.

wow...

They explored every inch of the space, not missing a single tiny ripple, or even the slightest disturbance left in the void.

But the result was no.

Nothing was gained!

Those two people, along with the last trace of their presence, vanished completely, as if they had been forcibly erased from this universe by an invisible hand.

"How is this possible..."

The gray mist surrounding the Demon Mist Supreme surged violently, revealing the unbelievable shock and anger in his scarlet eyes.

The feeling of having a cooked duck fly away is something no one can easily accept.

Moreover, for them, this is far more significant than a duck in an ordinary farmer's home!

Before the others arrived, he and the Fallen Immortal Supreme joined forces to fight the indestructible golden body, almost burning away all their life force.

Then, in order to seize the initiative in dividing the spoils of war, they further depleted their resources and joined forces to completely seal off and suppress this void...

He really couldn't understand it.

Even for a figure like the Immortal Emperor from countless ages ago, it would have been extremely difficult to forcefully break through the void and escape at his peak, let alone do so so silently and without leaving a trace.

"The eight of us joined forces to suppress the void, our energy intertwined. Even if the current emperor were to use a heaven-reaching immortal treasure, without additional means or variables... he would have no chance of escaping!"

The Stone Emperor held a black halberd, its tip pointing towards the void. His voice, like the grinding of stones, carried an uncontrollable chill and a deep, hoarse tone.

"The great secret this boy possesses, even if it has nothing to do with immortality, I, the Emperor, do not want to miss it now..."

How can we know about the "fate to immortality"? Everything is still unknown, but if there is any possibility, then it is worth the price we pay...

The Primordial Ancient Mine Supreme, shrouded in the aura of heaven and earth, slowly spoke.

The voice came through the dark yellow, carrying an ancient indifference:

“That person’s methods are all extraordinary. Not to mention the unpredictable ‘secret technique’ that allowed him to temporarily gain peak Emperor-level combat power, there is also the escape technique and the divine ability to conceal the secrets of heaven and prevent detection…”

All of this was something we had never heard of before. If this so-called great secret is truly related to the secrets of Emperor Suiren, we have perhaps only scratched the surface.

After we capture this person, we might be able to uncover even more…

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the several supreme beings present all flickered.

That's the truth. Even if such methods had nothing to do with the path to immortality, they were enough to drive many beings mad.

Moreover, given this situation, and the methods used, which are almost supernatural, would they believe it if I said it had nothing to do with 'fate' or 'trace' to the immortals?

They have lingered on until now, sleeping for eternity, just to find a glimmer of hope for immortality.

But now, a living, breathing "treasure," which might hold some of the answers, has slipped away right under their noses in this incomprehensible way...

"try to find!"

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity's gaze was icy as he swept over the other Supreme Beings, including those who had not descended in their true forms but had only manifested their Dao bodies from afar to make their move.

"This child is already at the end of his rope, his life force is exhausted, his primordial spirit is dim and about to dissipate, and his physical body is difficult to reassemble. Even with the most powerful escape techniques, he will not be able to escape far!"

He must be clinging to life somewhere in the universe right now, perhaps even nearby, hiding himself using some secret method unknown to us!

"Not bad!"

The Fallen Immortal Supreme's voice was hoarse. The wick of the Divine Demon Lamp above his head flickered, scattering dim yellow light in an attempt to pierce through the illusion and find traces:

"The woman beside him is also seriously injured. Her chaotic body's origin is unstable, and her aura is turbulent. Maintaining our investigation cannot be without a price. They can't hide for long!"

"Split up and search!"

The Stone Emperor was the most decisive; he looked around and his voice shook the starry sky:

"With our divine senses, we will cover all the heavens and myriad realms, searching inch by inch!"

Although his escape technique was ingenious, as you said, it must have come at a price, and it also involved another person, so it must have been quite limited. Otherwise, why would he have allowed the 'Devouring Goddess' to take our attack head-on?

Once we find them, all the secrets will be ours!

As soon as he finished speaking,

He took the first step, his figure merging into the void, his divine sense sweeping towards the depths of the universe like an invisible storm.

Upon hearing this, the Eternal Celestial Venerable's eyes flashed, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at the Demon Mist Supreme and the Fallen Immortal Supreme and said calmly:

"You two fellow Daoists have suffered considerable losses. Why don't you find a place to recover first? The search can be left to me and Fellow Daoist Shi Huang and the others. Perhaps while you two are reaping the spoils, you can also force that person out again?"

His words, though seemingly concerned, actually contained a deeper meaning.

The Demonic Mist and the Fallen Immortal contributed the most during the attack on Tan Lin, especially at the last moment when they almost used their full strength to force out the Supreme Being lurking in the shadows.

Their condition before birth was already worse than his, so now it is naturally even worse.

His words were both a probe and an attempt to temporarily exclude them from the core of the "search and capture" operation.

After all, everyone knew that those two couldn't cause any more trouble; even the Ascension Cauldron was shattered.

Whoever finds Tan Lin first may gain the upper hand and even conceal some of his secrets.

Upon hearing this, the Demonic Mist Supreme glanced coldly at the Eternal Heavenly Venerable from beneath the gray mist, and sneered:

"No need for you to worry, fellow Daoist. A little loss won't affect me at all."

"Fellow Daoist, you were just engaged in close combat with that golden-bodied brat, and your Longevity Sword seems to have been stained with quite a bit of 'mortal blood.' Would you like to wipe it clean?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "mortal blood," implying that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality was not entirely unharmed and might even have had his Dao principles eroded by Tan Lin's blood, which contained the true meaning of immortality.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality remained expressionless, only slightly trembling the Immortality Sword in his hand.

Splash...

The crimson blood that stained the sword turned to ashes, and the sword returned to its emerald green and crystalline state, surrounded by celestial light.

He said no more, his figure transformed into a beam of emerald light, and fled in a different direction from the Stone Emperor, his divine sense spreading out in an overwhelming manner.

"Ha ha……"

The Demon Mist Supreme snorted coldly and, without further delay, the gray mist churned and headed towards another desolate star field.

Although he was not in good condition, reaping the lives of sentient beings to replenish himself was part of his plan, and he could do both at the same time.

The Fallen Immortal Supreme glanced deeply at the spot where Tan Lin and Li Qingjue had disappeared, a complex and indescribable look flashing in his dim eyes.

It seems that he is also extremely concerned about the escape technique itself.

The light from the Divine Demon Lamp above his head flashed, and his figure merged into the void and disappeared.

As for those supreme beings who did not descend in their true forms...

Another mysterious existence in the Undying Mountain is the mysterious figure from the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Supreme Being of the Heavens, and the blurry figure from the Divine Ruins.

Their energy intertwined in the void, and their divine sense swept out without reservation, covering every corner of the universe.

Eight ancient supreme beings, even if some of them were not at their peak, and some did not even appear in the world in their true form,

However, the methods they used together were still terrifying beyond imagination.

In an instant,

The myriad realms, countless ancient planets inhabited by life, the vast sea of ​​stars, and even some forbidden lands and secret realms, all seemed to be swept over by an invisible gaze.

All living things felt as if they were being watched, and those with profound cultivation trembled with fear, almost suffocating.

at the same time,

All living places

Countless cultivators and beings who witnessed the final great collision at the edge of the universe through the images projected by powerful beings were now all plunged into a deathly silence.

The blinding daylight that illuminated the entire universe has long since vanished.

But the shock and bewilderment left in the hearts of all people could not be calmed for a long time.

Finally, the only glimpse that most of them could see.

It was that blood-stained blue robe, the indestructible golden body with its primordial spirit almost transparent, and that peerless woman who, despite her crippled body, still stubbornly held her sword and stood in front of him.

Then, the eight supreme beings joined forces, and eight earth-shattering imperial killing blows descended with a deafening roar. The Immortal Ascension Cauldron shattered like rain of light, and the void was completely transformed into chaos...

Then, the light engulfed everything.

When the light faded and vision became clear again...

In that desolate star field, only eight figures with overwhelming auras, resembling demon gods, remained, along with the devastation and ruins everywhere.

The indestructible golden body and the woman with the acquired chaotic body disappeared.

Was he utterly destroyed, both body and soul?

They both perished.

Or... I was able to...

No one knows.

"Senior... has he... perished?"

A young monk asked, his voice trembling and on the verge of tears.

He witnessed firsthand how the indestructible golden body was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, fighting to the death and staining the starry sky with blood.

The horrific scene made it impossible for him to accept that the figure who had been like a savior had vanished into oblivion.

"It's unknowable; that final 'light' was too bright, and we couldn't see anything..."

An old monk nearby murmured, his eyes filled with bewilderment and sorrow.

They witnessed the collapse of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and saw the near-certain death they were in.

Hope seemed to have been completely extinguished at that moment.

"They must have perished!"

Even if the eight supreme beings joined forces, a great emperor would perish. How could those two, who failed to attain enlightenment, possibly survive?

A voice rang out from the crowd, carrying an almost cruel "rational" analysis, but more so a sense of despair and resentment that was hard to conceal after the initial hope was shattered.

The greater the hope, the greater the despair that may arise.

"He... he was probably scared after all, and he ran away at the last moment!"

What indestructible golden body, what sacred body of the human race, are nothing but empty names!

If he truly had a sense of responsibility, he should have died there in battle!

"fart!"
