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

Within the Daoist tradition, alarm bells rang continuously, and the Divine Sect's grand formation instantly activated, with a light curtain soaring into the sky.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist, to grace our Northern Dipper Cult with your presence? If there is any misunderstanding, please forgive me..."

The current leader of the Divine Cult, an elderly man at the peak of the Great Sage realm, soared into the sky.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the person's face clearly, and was instantly struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale.

"It's...it's you! Shao Hanyun...no, Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, please don't be impulsive, everything that happened before was..."

"Thanks to you all, I have been able to reach this level today..."

Shao Hanyun stood high in the sky, looking down at the Divine Cult members who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. Her smile was eerie, and her eyes were icy cold.

"Therefore, I have come today to repay the 'kindness' of the past."

"Holy Maiden! Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. What grudge do you hold? Please do not implicate us... We know nothing of what happened back then!"

"So noisy..."

Shao Hanyun didn't bother with any words and simply raised her hand, pressing down with her palm.

boom!!!

In an instant, a gigantic dragon claw that blotted out the sun materialized out of thin air, entwined with overwhelming demonic energy and blood-red patterns, and slammed fiercely onto the Divine Sect's protective mountain formation.

Boom...

click... click...

The mountain-protecting formation, which, when fully activated, was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from an ordinary quasi-emperor, was as fragile as paper in front of this dragon claw, instantly becoming cracked and then shattering with a bang!

"puff……"

The dozens of elders who were in charge of the formation all coughed up blood and flew backward.

"Form the Seven Killings Formation of the Big Dipper! Invoke the Ancestral Master's magical artifacts!"

The sect leader's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared hoarsely.

however,

It's too late.

Shao Hanyun's figure appeared like a ghost deep within the Divine Sect, above the forbidden land where the ancestral tablets of past masters were enshrined and the sect's profound secrets were hidden.

She raised her hand and threw out the "Blood Soul Pearl" that she had refined on Liuli Island.

The Blood Soul Pearl exploded with a roar, transforming into an endless sea of ​​blood and vengeful spirits, instantly engulfing the entire forbidden area.

From within the sea of ​​blood came piercing screams and wails—the roars of the remnant souls of the Divine Cult cultivators on Liuli Island.

They frantically attacked all living beings in the forbidden area, devouring their flesh and souls.

"Do not!!"

The sect leader and several elders of the Daoist lineage were furious and wanted to help, but they were imprisoned in mid-air by the demonic power that Shao Hanyun casually unleashed, unable to move.

They could only watch helplessly as the disciples, elders, and even several slumbering, powerful ancestors within the forbidden area...

Under the gnawing of the vengeful spirits in the sea of ​​blood, it screamed as it turned into withered bones, its soul torn apart and devoured.

"Witch! You'll die a horrible death!!"

An elder cursed loudly.

"May they die a horrible death?"

Shao Hanyun chuckled, turned her gaze to him, and a red glint flashed in her eyes.

The elder's body stiffened abruptly.

Immediately, it felt as if countless insects were wriggling beneath his skin.

Immediately afterwards, his physical body began to swell and twist, and finally exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a "bang," while his soul was also refined into the blood bead by Shao Hanyun.

This scene completely shattered the hopes and illusions of the remaining few.

"Spare us! Holy Maiden, spare us! What happened back then was all forced upon us by Ancestor Zhao and the others. Even if we were coerced, it wasn't our own will..."

The sect leader knelt down and begged for mercy, tears streaming down his face.

"Not my true intention?"

Shao Hanyun walked up to him, looking down at him without a trace of pity in her eyes:

"Sect Leader, you really have a short memory. Among those old fogies who coveted my body back then, wasn't you one of them?"

"I……"

The sect leader was speechless, his face ashen.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Shao Hanyun suddenly laughed, a laugh full of charm, yet it sent a chill down the sect leader's spine:

“I will cripple your cultivation, destroy your foundation, and then throw you into the dirtiest, most unorthodox 'brothel' in the mortal realm, so you can experience what it means to be 'forced' into something…”

"you……"

The sect leader was utterly desperate.

Without further ado, Shao Hanyun raised her hand and crippled his cultivation, then erased all memories of cultivation from his soul.

He left only the most primal intelligence and perception, then casually cast a spell on it to make it appear young and handsome, and finally tore open a rift in the void and threw it in.

From the other side of the crack, faint sounds of men's frivolous voices and the smell of cheap perfume could be heard.

After dealing with the sect leader, she turned her attention to the remaining elders.

"As for you... go inside my newly crafted 'Myriad Soul Pearl' and have some fun..."

She summoned the blood bead, and the souls of several Supreme Elders were uncontrollably extracted, screaming as they entered the bead, becoming part of the vengeful spirits within, eternally suffering the torment of their souls being burned by the fire.

Da...da...

After doing all this,

Shao Hanyun strolled through the ruins of the Beidou Divine Sect's mountain gate, sweeping away everything of value, including the scripture pavilion and treasure vault.

Finally, she set fire to this land that had been steeped in sin and filth, turning it into a wasteland.

The towering fire illuminated half the sky of Zhongzhou, and also reflected her enchanting and stunning, yet cold and ruthless, profile.

The Beidou Divine Cult, an ancient lineage that had been passed down for millennia and was once extremely powerful, had its many strongholds outside the region wiped out in a single day!

The commotion and subsequent news spread, causing widespread shock and loss of life.

Countless cultivators were shocked and began to discuss among themselves:

"Who would have thought that the prestigious Big Dipper Cult would be such a den of iniquity..."

"Heh, you reap what you sow. It's just a pity about that 'Life-Saving Technique.' It was able to enslave even a legendary celestial beauty like the Demon Lord Shao Hanyun, who possessed immortal blood, for so many years. It's clear how effective it was..."

"The most beautiful woman in the Big Dipper in the past, after a thousand years, she has grown to this extent..."

"..."

"Sigh, wiping out an entire family is far too cruel. What do those lower-ranking disciples know?"

"Shh! Watch your words! That one is now at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, about to attain enlightenment. He can kill at will. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

The various factions reacted differently.

Some forces were on friendly terms with the Northern Divine Sect, such as the Feathered Divine Dynasty, which secretly remained vigilant in the face of its own demise; others, who had previously been enemies with the sect, rejoiced.

Of course, what shocked many more was Shao Hanyun's strength and ruthlessness, making her an existence that should never be provoked.

Some members of the ancient Taoist traditions who knew the inside story were fully aware of Shao Hanyun's "old grudges" and the reasons for her current revenge.

While secretly lamenting that the Big Dipper Cult had brought this upon themselves, they were also alarmed by the growth of this Demon Lord.

The current era of enlightenment is truly a gathering of heroes, with far more outstanding figures than in many periods before ancient times.

……

After destroying the Beidou Divine Cult, Shao Hanyun did not stay in Beidou.

She eventually "returned" to the ancient star Gouchen, in the South China Sea.

Deep in the South China Sea, she found an archipelago with the most abundant spiritual energy and stunning scenery.

Then, with great supernatural powers, he moved mountains and filled seas, set up a magnificent array, and built a vast celestial palace on the sea.

The celestial palace was built with white jade, coral, and pearls, with pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted rafters, and was magnificent, yet it was shrouded in a faint demonic mist, adding to its mystery and eeriness.

On the highest peak in the center of the archipelago, she erected a stone tablet and inscribed three large, elegant characters in the style of Dao Ze.

Lost Day Island

But what deeper meaning does it hold?

With the establishment of Lost Day Island, the name of Shao Hanyun, the Demon Lord, resounded throughout the myriad realms.

It welcomes all demons, and accepts all demon cultivators who wish to join its ranks.

During this time, countless races and forces from various factions of the Starry Sky Demon Clan came to witness the ceremony.

The news sent shockwaves through the starry sky.

It should be noted that although the demon race is vast and powerful,

However, the internal factions are numerous and the clans are diverse and disorganized. There has never been a true, supreme lineage capable of uniting all factions and commanding the respect of all demon clans.

Now, a demon clan member at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm is establishing a sect after achieving enlightenment, which is of great significance.

In an instant, the ancient star Gouchen in the South China Sea was filled with the gathering of wind and clouds.

Back when the ancient path had only been open for a short time, and the path to enlightenment was still undecided, those powerful figures of the demon race who scoffed at Shao Hanyun's title of "Demon Lord" or coveted her beauty and bloodline inheritance,

At this moment, they all set aside their pride, put on shy faces, prepared generous gifts, and personally paid their respects.

"The Golden-Winged Roc Clan, led by Clan Chief Peng Jiuxiao, along with the younger generation of the clan, congratulates the Demon Lord on establishing his sect. We hereby present a pair of Heavenly Roc True Feathers and three drops of ten-thousand-year-old 'Phoenix Marrow' as a token of our heartfelt wishes!"

"The Celestial Fox Clan, Nine-Tailed Fox Moon Maiden, greets the Demon Lord."

"There was a misunderstanding with the Demon Lord in the past, and I hope the Demon Lord will forgive me. This is a 'Dream Crystal' treasured by my clan, which can help one comprehend the Dao. Please accept it, Demon Lord."

"The True Hou Clan's Roaring Sky pays homage to the Demon Lord! I admire the Demon Lord's divine might! I wish to forge an eternal bond with Lost Day Island..."

"..."

"The descendants of the Qilin clan..."

The demon race giants, who were renowned in the starry sky and were at least at the Great Saint level or even Quasi-Emperor level, were all extremely respectful outside Lost Day Island, clearly showing a hint of flattery.

There's no other reason than that strength reigns supreme.

In most periods, a Quasi-Emperor of the Ninth Heaven would be an existence standing at the pinnacle of the starry sky. Although someone has already attained enlightenment in the present era, that Great Emperor has been "invisible" for two or three hundred years.

At this moment, Shao Hanyun is the strongest person in the demon race on the surface, and may even be one of the strongest people in the world!

Some of these powerful demons genuinely offered their congratulations, while others sought to attach themselves to them.

Some wanted to send their offspring to Lost Day Island to become disciples of this demon lord and receive his protection and guidance.

Shao Hanyun sat high on the throne in the main hall of Lost Day Island.

She wore a red dress, leaning back languidly, her cold and beautiful face bearing a half-smile as she looked down at the group of respectful demon race powerhouses below.

At one time, many of these people had shown her greed, covetousness, and even hostility.

But now, they can only bow their heads before her.

Strength is indeed the most real thing in this world.

"Fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. I have failed to greet you properly."

Shao Hanyun parted her red lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of languid charm, yet it made everyone below shudder and dare not be negligent in the slightest.

"You're too kind, Demon Lord! I absolutely dare not accept the title of 'fellow Daoist'..."

"It is our honor to be received by the Demon Lord!"

Shao Hanyun's gaze swept over the crowd, lingering on the faces of several demon clan leaders with whom she had previously had "grudges." Those men immediately broke out in a cold sweat and lowered their heads.

"I'm too lazy to bring up the past."

She spoke softly:
