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

Soon, without hesitation, the figure held the array diagram and instantly resonated with the three flying swords and the Immortal Execution Sword in her hand!

With a resounding hum, a broken but even more murderous sword formation, its power seemingly amplified by the wrath of the newly ascended emperor, suddenly took shape.

Taking advantage of the moment, he instantly enveloped the slightly slower-reacting Primordial Supreme and Divine Ruins Supreme!

"not good!"

"Break the formation quickly!"

The Primordial Supreme and the Divine Ruins Supreme were both shocked and enraged.

They attacked frantically within the formation, the imperial laws clashing fiercely with the killing intent of the sword formation, creating a deafening roar.

However, this formation was presided over by the Chaos Dao Body, which, although not as powerful as Li Qingjue's true body, was still extremely difficult to deal with, and managed to trap them firmly in a short period of time.

Outside the formation, only the Eternal Celestial Venerable and the Stone Emperor remained, facing Li Qingjue's true form, whose aura grew increasingly terrifying and whose eyes grew colder.

"Gentlemen, what are you waiting for? Quickly ascend with us, cooperate from within and without, and kill this woman first!"

From within the formation came the anxious voice of the Primordial Supreme.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Stone Emperor exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with indifference.

sublimation?

Don't joke around!

They are still in relatively good condition and are far from being at their wits' end.

Once you reach the pinnacle, you can certainly gain peak combat power in a short period of time, but what happens after that?

It will inevitably exhaust its last bit of vitality and head towards annihilation.

For the sake of the elusive secrets that an "immortal" golden body might have left behind,

Is it worth paying the price of life to kill this Chaos Being who has just become an Emperor, whose momentum is at its peak, and who is clearly "mad"?

more importantly,

They saw the wariness and alienation in each other's eyes.

Even if they join forces to achieve sublimation and kill Li Qingjue, what happens after that?

Who can guarantee that the other party won't turn against them, devour them, and perpetuate the imperial destiny?

not worth it!

At least, it's not worth it until you've witnessed a significant "divine encounter" or are certain of your own death.

Fellow Daoists!

This woman has gained power and intends to settle scores. Today it's us, tomorrow it will be you! Don't you understand the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"?

In the blink of an eye, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality suddenly spoke in a loud voice, amplified by the laws of the Imperial Dao, reaching the various forbidden zones of the Big Dipper, as well as the ancestral star of the Overlord Body and the direction of the Underworld:

"Please join forces and kill this woman!"

The methods he cultivates and the path he follows are of great value, and he may very well possess a clue to a great secret. Even... the Spiritual Treasure Killing Array is an unparalleled opportunity, which should be shared by all of you fellow Daoists!

He was seeking help, testing the waters, and searching for a way out for himself and Shi Huang.

However, the thought was transmitted,

The starry sky was completely silent.

In the direction of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the aura of the Carefree Celestial Venerable fluctuated slightly before finally returning to silence, as if he were observing coldly from the sidelines.

Deep within the Undying Mountain, crimson eyes flickered, but no figure stepped out.

The ancient mines of Taichu and the lands of Shangcang are also silent.

Inside the ancestral cave of the Overlord Body Ancestral Star, the auras of several Great Completion Overlord Bodies intertwined.

"The time is not yet ripe."

"This woman is insane, possesses formidable combat power, and has a killing formation at her disposal. If we rashly get involved, we may harm ourselves."

"Let them fight until they're both severely injured..."

During the exchange of divine thoughts, no one responded to the "appeal" of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

The restricted area is filled with ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years, selfish to the extreme. Without sufficient benefit and certainty, who would be willing to risk their life for someone else?

Especially when facing a newly ascended emperor, a Chaos Emperor whose aura was overwhelming and who was clearly in a frenzied state.

Of course, if this were replaced by that indestructible golden body who was certain of possessing the great secret of "divine destiny," the beings within the various forbidden zones might very well respond.

But in this world, there are no "what ifs"...

Upon seeing this, the hearts of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Stone Emperor sank instantly.

They knew that relying on others was futile; the mountains would crumble, and people would abandon them. This whole process was just calculation and manipulation. In the end, they still had to rely on themselves.

At this moment, the Primordial Supreme and the Divine Ruins Supreme within the formation were already in dire straits under the onslaught of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

They roared repeatedly, forced to begin their ultimate ascension, their aura surging as they attempted to break the formation.

Looking at the reactions of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Stone Emperor, Li Qingjue's lips curled into an extreme smile filled with ruthlessness and hatred.

"It seems that your so-called 'fellow Daoists' have no intention of saving you."

Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

The voice has not fallen,

She has charged again!

They had no intention of letting the two outside the formation go unpunished.

The Chaos Emperor's Laws boiled over, and the Human Emperor's Banner and the Immortal Execution Sword intertwined to create a deathly symphony. Every strike carried the power to destroy the world and the determination to fight to the death!

boom!!

Boom... Boom...

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Stone Emperor gritted their teeth and fought back, but the thought of retreat had already taken root in their hearts.

They fought and retreated, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the direction of the Big Dipper Immortal Mountain and the Immortal Tomb.

That was their "home." If they retreated to the restricted area, relying on the terrain and the grand formations laid out over the long years, as well as the subtle deterrents emanating from other entities within the restricted area, they might still have a glimmer of hope.

"Want to go?"

A cold light flashed in Li Qingjue's eyes, and his Chaos Dao Body suddenly activated the sword formation.

The Primordial Supreme and the Divine Ruins Supreme, who had just completed their ascension and were frantically attacking the array's core, were temporarily forced back for a moment.

Her true form instantly split into another, slightly weaker Dao body, wielding a sword light evolved from a wisp of chaotic energy, and fiercely blocked the escape of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Stone Emperor!

"Go away!"

Enraged, the Stone Emperor unleashed a slash with his halberd, causing the figure to dim its light and nearly disintegrate.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality also unleashed a sword strike, its emerald green light piercing through the void.

however,

In that brief moment of obstruction, Li Qingjue's true form had already arrived!

She completely disregarded her own defenses and used her Divine Silkworm Robe to withstand the aftershock of the Stone Emperor's halberd strike.

With his left hand, he slammed the Emperor's Banner down on the Longevity Sword of the Celestial Venerable, while with his right hand, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword transformed into a thin gray line that annihilated everything, piercing straight into the Stone Emperor's brow!

clang!

laugh……

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality was so shocked that his tiger's mouth cracked open, and his long sword hummed.

Despite his best efforts to dodge, the sword energy still managed to slash a bloody gash between his brows, causing his blood to splatter and his soul to ache terribly!

"go!"

The two dared not linger in the fight any longer. Taking advantage of the moment when Li Qingjue was hindered by the backlash, they burned their essence blood and transformed into two dazzling streams of light, fleeing madly towards the direction of the Big Dipper without looking back!

As for the two supreme beings from the Primordial Beginning and the Divine Ruins who are currently undergoing sublimation and are about to exhaust their strength in the formation?

Who cares anymore!

"you……"

Within the formation, the Primordial Supreme and the Divine Ruins Supreme, who had recently ascended and whose auras were still at their "peak," were preparing to fight Li Qingjue's Dao Body to the death.

Upon seeing that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Stone Emperor had actually abandoned them and fled alone, they were filled with rage and fear!

A feeling that my death was imminent welled up inside me.

"Hahaha! Good! What a kindred spirit!"

The Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins gave a bitter laugh, his aura instantly becoming disordered due to the violent fluctuations in his state of mind.

"You little bitch, if you're going to force me like this, then let's die together!"

The Primordial Supreme roared, no longer trying to break the formation. Instead, he frantically poured all his sublimated power into his Xuanhuang Cave, intending to perish together with the sword formation and Li Qingjue's Dao body!

Li Qingjue's Chaotic Dao Body remained indifferent to this, focusing all his efforts on presiding over the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

wow...

The four swords rang out in unison, their killing intent soaring to the sky. The boundless sword energy was like a cosmic storm, engulfing the two men along with the power of their self-destruction, shredding them, and finally annihilating them!

Boom!!!

Two orbs of light, ten thousand times brighter than exploding stars, lit up in the sword formation, only to be quickly engulfed by endless sword energy.

Splash...

When the sword formation dissipated, the Chaos Dao Body held the formation diagram and four swords, its aura slightly weakened, but its eyes remained cold.

Only two clusters of imperial laws light raining down slowly dissipated, and two ancient imperial weapons of supreme power, their brilliance dimmed and their spirituality greatly damaged, floated in the void.

So far,

The Primordial Supreme and the Divine Ruins Supreme have both perished!

Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Stone Emperor had already taken the opportunity to escape back to the Big Dipper and rushed into the area of ​​the Undying Mountain and the Immortal Tomb.

Just as they rushed into the penalty area,

Deep within the Undying Mountain and the Immortal Tomb, several subtle yet powerful auras simultaneously revived, intertwining to form a hazy field that enveloped the entrance to the forbidden zone, carrying a sense of warning and deterrence.

Looking out into the distance at the chaotic figure standing in the starry sky, sword in hand, his killing intent still lingering.

whoosh...

Li Qingjue's true form did not pursue further.

She simply stood silently in the starry sky, holding the blood-dripping Immortal-Slaying Sword and the tattered Human Emperor's Banner, draped in a dust-stained Divine Silkworm Robe.

At this moment, her cold, lifeless gaze, like the sharpest celestial blade, slowly swept across the several forbidden zones of the Big Dipper, and across the direction of the Ancestral Star of the Overlord Body.

Then it swept across the underworld, the netherworld, and across the illusory blue waves of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation...

Swish!

Every lurking presence in the area swept by her gaze felt a chill run through their hearts.

In that gaze, there was no trace of joy at becoming emperor, no satisfaction at successfully suppressing the turmoil, only endless grief and an unyielding hatred.

And a chilling madness and obsession that seems to drag the whole world down with it.

At this moment, she was extremely conflicted. She wanted to rush into the restricted area regardless of everything, but a sliver of reason remained, telling her...

This is not advisable.

Doing so would only be a waste of everything Master has done.

Finally, after standing motionless for a long time, her gaze fell on the two forbidden zones where the Celestial Venerable of Immortality and the Stone Emperor had fled, lingering there for a long time.

She didn't speak, but that silence itself was more terrifying than any threat.

Then, she slowly turned around, looking at the devastated, blood-stained universe behind her, and at the myriad beings from all over the world who had survived the catastrophe and were looking at her with incredibly complex eyes.

During this time, some people, moved to tears by her slaying of the supreme ruler and ending the turmoil, knelt down trembling, shouting:

"The Devouring Emperor!!"

"Your Majesty is merciful! Suppressing the darkness is a merit beyond measure!"
