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

The sudden commotion outside the forbidden ancient road sent shockwaves through the minds of countless cultivators across the myriad realms, who were already gripped by absolute despair and fear as darkness spread through them.

Immediately, many living beings erupted in thunderous cheers and ecstasy!

They were excited:

"It's the Great Accomplishment Holy Body?! He's not dead! He's still alive!"

"He did not choose to lie low; he stepped forward instead..."

"My God! He's actually undergoing tribulation..."

"They blocked it! The Holy Body seems to have become even stronger... It actually blocked six Supreme Beings!"

"Heaven has eyes! The Holy Body has returned! The turmoil is over!"

"..."

A glimpse of a corner of the battlefield reveals a scene where hope, like a wildfire, reignites amidst the ashes of despair!

Countless beings knelt in prayer, tears streaming down their faces, their once powerful spiritual energy now dissipated, and in some parts even harboring resentment.

At this moment, with even greater surging force, they crossed endless galaxies and converged on that figure who still stood proudly under the siege of the supreme beings!

at the same time,

The Soul Pearl of All Causes deep within Tan Lin's true soul, atop the vortex barrier.

The countless causal threads connecting the heavens fluctuated violently, and a large number of pure and blazing fireflies were proliferating wildly!

The seventh deep scarlet dot was quickly filled, followed by the eighth...

Only when the ninth deep crimson dot also lit up slightly did the "revenue" generated by his "reappearance" and his act of drawing away the Supreme's attention slowly subside.

Although it was far less massive than the initial wave of saving all living beings from the harvest, it greatly alleviated his predicament of fireflies being scarce again.

And at this moment,

Not all newly born supreme beings were immediately drawn to the commotion caused by "Tan Lin" triggering the heavenly tribulation.

There were always supreme beings who had overexerted themselves in the previous battle and were eager to replenish their strength and recover their condition, so they did not choose to rush there immediately.

Beyond the Ziwei Starfield.

"Don't you all understand? There's no point in resisting me..."

The indifferent voice of the Demon Mist Supreme echoed through the starry sky.

That colossal gray hand, obscuring the sky, had already crushed the layers of light barrier formed by the Human Emperor Banner combined with the Purple Star Ancient Array.

Only a thin layer of barrier remained, which could collapse at any moment, before it could completely strike the ancient star.

Jiang Wanqing and Suiren Lianlei were positioned directly beneath the giant hand, bearing the greatest pressure.

Both women had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their delicate bodies trembling. Jiang Wanqing's ancient bronze cauldron had already developed cracks, and the Emperor's Banner in Suiren Lianlei's hand had dimmed.

The illusory images of ancient heroes manifested within it are almost transparent and may dissipate at any moment.

The shadow of death looms over the hearts of every crape myrtle plant.

"Is it... over yet...?"

Jiang Wanqing's stunningly beautiful face was completely bloodless.

She felt her own magical power rapidly depleting, and her very essence was groaning under the oppressive power of the imperial aura.

She was unwilling to accept it...

But all of this seems to be coming to an end at this moment.

"Your Majesty... Lian Lei is incompetent..."

Suiren Lianlei's heart sank to the bottom, not out of fear of death, but out of guilt for failing to protect the ancestral homeland and the people.

Boom...

A giant hand pressed down mercilessly.

however,

Just as the final barrier was about to shatter, and Jiang Wanqing could even clearly see every ferocious Dao pattern on the giant gray hand,

hum!

Without warning, a barely perceptible ripple appeared in the void behind her, a ripple that seemed completely out of place with the surrounding imperial suppression.

Then,

A voice, so calm it was chilling, gently rang in her ears and everyone else's, carrying a strange, soothing power:

"You are all very kind. Take a short rest, and leave the rest to me."

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Wanqing's delicate body trembled violently, and she abruptly turned her head.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure in a blue robe came into view.

Unbeknownst to them, they had quietly settled not far beyond the borders.

His black hair was loose, his eyes were like deep pools, and he didn't exude any particularly earth-shattering aura.

But standing there, it was as if they were holding up the entire sky that was about to collapse.

Who is "Tan Lin" who was supposed to be undergoing tribulation outside the forbidden ancient road?

But how did he end up here?!

Before Jiang Wanqing could figure it out, and before the Demon Mist Supreme could react, the Demon Mist Supreme was caught off guard.

The figure in the green robe had already clenched his fist and gently extended it towards the giant gray hand that was about to strike.

Five-Finger Fist, Heart Sword!

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no sword light tearing through the starry sky.

Only a single, perfectly condensed sword aura, seemingly containing the essence of countless killing intents and an undying true meaning, burst forth from the center of his five fingers.

It struck first, striking with unparalleled precision at the very center of the gray giant palm, at the "core node" that was woven from countless imperial laws and governed the entire giant palm!

laugh!

A soft sound, like a red-hot iron being plunged into ice and snow.

next moment,

bang...

That colossal gray hand, which blotted out the sky and dominated the star field, collapsed like a burst bubble or a giant beast whose spine had been removed!

Countless wisps of gray mist wailed and scattered, the imperial laws contained within them breaking apart inch by inch and finally annihilating!

"This is impossible!! How could you be here..."

The Demon Mist Supreme was filled with shock and rage.

He had no idea that the guy who was supposed to be undergoing tribulation on the forbidden ancient road and being besieged by the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable and others would suddenly appear here.

How could he so easily thwart his seemingly inevitable attack?

Could it be that the opponent's escape technique could conceal a calamity at the Dao attainment level?

This is simply unbelievable!

however,

Tan Lin didn't give it any time to think.

The instant his punch shattered the giant palm, his figure vanished like a ghost.

When it reappeared, it was behind the true form of the Demon Mist Supreme, whose aura had been slightly stunted by the shattering of the giant hand!

With another flick of his finger, he aimed straight for the back of Sendai!

The same move, but the power and timing are perfectly controlled!

"How dare you, you brat?!"

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the Demon Mist Supreme, as expected of an ancient supreme being who was once invincible and had experienced countless bloody battles, reacted with extreme speed.

Despite his shock, he remained calm and didn't hesitate for a moment. Just before Tan Lin's sword was about to strike him, the gray mist around him collapsed inward with a roar.

Immediately, a terrifying aura that made the entire starry sky tremble erupted from his body!

He wants to reach the pinnacle of achievement!

Return to the pinnacle of imperial power!

Having learned from the mistakes of Jiao Kong, Chu Guang, and Wang Sheng,

He knew that this young man possessed strange methods to interrupt the sublimation process, so he chose an even more decisive method, almost the instant he sensed Tan Lin's aura.

At the same time, it triggered its own ancient and dormant imperial origin and Dao fruit, and in a violent way that was almost a bizarre prelude, it forcibly broke through that self-severing shackle!

"Want to elevate yourself? Did you even ask me?"

Tan Lin's gaze was icy. Under the [Reverse·All Causes Vision], the Demon Mist Supreme's hasty and violent sublimation process revealed even more flaws in his eyes.

boom……

He transformed his fingers into a palm, striking a spot on the Demon Mist Supreme's back. The palm strike, imbued with the strange power of the Dao principle of "All Self," penetrated the body.

It precisely strikes a subtle point where the boiling blood and qi intersect with the principles of the Dao.

"puff!"

The Demon Mist Supreme's body trembled violently, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. The aura that had just begun its violent ascension suddenly became chaotic and abruptly stopped.

Some of the Emperor's original essence was even damaged as a result, causing him to suffer a backlash!

He let out a painful groan and staggered.

"die……"

Tan Lin pressed his advantage relentlessly, unleashing the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist Intent. His fist, as swift as a dragon, slammed into the back of the Demon Mist Supreme.

Boom!

The Emperor's body of the Demon Mist Supreme was actually shattered by this punch!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and imperial blood cascaded down like a waterfall!

"what!"

A piercing scream echoed through the starry sky as the Demon Mist Supreme's primordial spirit, carrying with it the remaining flesh and gray mist, frantically fled into the distance, attempting to reassemble itself.

However, would Tan Lin give him that chance?

He took a step forward, unleashing the full power of the Xingzi Secret Technique, ready to catch up and deliver the final blow.

But then, another unexpected event occurred!

The shattered flesh and ash sprayed out as they flew...

Suddenly, an eerie light shone forth, and an even more violent and resolute aura of sublimation erupted simultaneously from these scattered pieces of flesh and blood!

"Using flesh and blood as a catalyst to disperse and sublimate?! What a bold move!"

Even Tan Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise at this.

This Demonic Mist Supreme is indeed ruthless. He actually used the moment his body was shattered and his flesh and blood scattered to use these fragments as a temporary "Dao Foundation" and simultaneously triggered a sublimation!

This makes it much more difficult for him to interrupt the core of his sublimation as precisely as before!

"You little beast! You've driven me to this point, you should be proud of yourself! But, it all ends here!"

The scattered flesh and blood of the Demonic Mist Supreme simultaneously emitted venomous roars, while the gray mist and the laws of the Imperial Dao converged frantically.

His aura began to rise at an astonishing speed, truly returning to the level of an ancient emperor who was invincible for an era!

"I don't have time to waste with you."

However, Tan Lin merely glanced indifferently at the Demonic Mist Supreme, whose aura was rapidly escalating and growing increasingly terrifying.

Then he did something that surprised everyone.

He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.

hum!

Below, on the ancient star of Ziwei, the Human Emperor's Banner, its light dimmed, was held in the hand of Suiren Lianlei.
