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

Li Qingjue moved.

She didn't even form hand seals or cast spells; she simply raised her fair, jade-like right hand.

He gently pressed down on Shao Hanyun, who was sitting on the throne, from a distance.

His movements were casual, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust in front of him.

But the moment her palm touched the ground, the sky above changed!

Boom! ! !

The entire Ten Thousand Demon Palace, no, the entire Lost Day Island, and even the entire South China Sea's magical patterns were forcibly suppressed in an instant!

Endless chaotic energy surged from the void, intertwined with pitch-black, all-consuming demonic energy.

wow...

Soon, these wisps of light in the high sky instantly coalesced into a boundless, chaotic hand that covered the entire sky above the South China Sea!

The large handprint is clearly defined, seemingly a manifestation of the Dao principles.

Within the palm of your hand, the birth and death of stars, the rotation of the universe, the creation of heaven and earth, and the ultimate Daoist essence that can also end everything flow!

Each finger of the giant hand was like a chaotic celestial dragon, wrapped in terrifying chains of laws that caused countless wailing sounds!

The moment this chaotic hand appeared, time and space froze, and all laws fell silent!

The thousands of demons crawling below seemed to have their thoughts frozen, leaving only boundless fear.

Shao Hanyun, who was directly in the line of fire, felt an unprecedented sense of impending death envelop her, as if the will of the entire universe had been transformed into this hand.

She, along with her principles, her pride, and everything she possesses, must be completely sealed away!

"Li Qingjue! How dare you do this?!"

Shao Hanyun was filled with shock and anger, and let out a clear and sharp shout!

She knew that the other party was really going to make a move, and once they did, it would be a merciless suppression!

How could she sit idly by and wait to die?!

Roar! ! !

The throne, its surface cast with phoenix blood and crimson gold, erupted with a soaring divine light, transforming into a phantom of a divine phoenix reborn from the ashes, protecting her at its center.

Shao Hanyun pushed her cultivation and magical power to the limit, and the crimson imperial laws around her boiled over, transforming into a raging azure dragon divine fire!

She formed a hand seal, and a vast, blood-red phantom of a demon kingdom appeared behind her, with ten thousand demons roaring and a soaring dragon coiling around it, its demonic aura shaking the heavens!

During this time, a crimson phoenix banner, forged with "phoenix true feathers," flew out from between her brows, growing longer in the wind and fluttering loudly, radiating a terrifying power no less than that of an ordinary imperial weapon.

It actively blasted towards the descending chaotic hand!

At this moment, Shao Hanyun displayed her full potential and combat power as the strongest demon in the world!

Protected by the Immortal Golden Phoenix, blessed by the Demon Kingdom, the Imperial Banner soars through the sky, and the Azure Dragon Divine Fire incinerates all things!

Such power is enough to easily suppress ordinary quasi-emperors at the ninth level, and can even make some veteran cultivators who have achieved enlightenment retreat!

however,

She was facing a supreme emperor of the present age who had attained the Dao through the Chaos Body, merged with the will of Heaven, and had been cultivating in this realm for over a thousand years!

boom!!!!

Rumble... Rumble...

The chaotic hand slowly pressed down.

It clashed fiercely with the Crimson Phoenix Banner, Azure Dragon Divine Fire, and the phantom of the Demon Kingdom that Shao Hanyun had unleashed with all her might!

However, there was no earth-shattering explosion during the collision, nor was there even a moment of stalemate.

Yes, but it was crushing.

Absolutely, without a doubt, a crushing defeat on a level.

Click!

The Crimson Phoenix Banner wailed, cracks appeared on its surface, and it was easily knocked away by the chaotic hand, its light dimming.

puff!

The Azure Dragon Divine Fire seemed to have met its nemesis; it was quickly extinguished and annihilated by the chaotic energy and dark demonic energy.

Boom!

The blood-red demon kingdom phantom couldn't even withstand a single breath before being directly shattered by the Daoist aura emanating from the giant hand.

Moo...

The phantom of the azure dragon let out a mournful cry and shattered into pieces.

All of Shao Hanyun's desperate defenses and counterattacks melted away like ice and snow under the sun in front of that chaotic hand that represented the myriad paths of the heavens!

"Ho..."

Shao Hanyun let out a muffled groan, her alluring body trembling violently, and a stinging trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She felt that her own Dao principles, magical power, the five major human body secret realms, and even her Immortal Platform Primordial Spirit were all suppressed and imprisoned by the power of that giant hand, making her unable to move!

That feeling of powerlessness filled her with frustration, anger, and a hint of...

A deep-seated fear.

The gap is too big.

Stepping into the realm of the Imperial Path, the distance between one and a true Great Emperor may seem like a single step, but in reality, it is an insurmountable chasm!

Especially when facing a Chaos Body Emperor like Li Qingjue, whose combat power is heaven-defying!

The chaotic hand continued downwards without any hindrance, and then irresistibly pressed down one zhang above Shao Hanyun's head.

Clang...

In an instant, countless chaotic runes and dark chains of light spread out from the giant hand, instantly binding and sealing Shao Hanyun.

The surging demonic laws surrounding her were forcibly suppressed back into her body, her surging magical power was completely imprisoned, and even her thoughts and perceptions were rapidly becoming blurred and sluggish.

"Li Qingjue...you..."

Shao Hanyun struggled fiercely, her vertical pupils filled with resentment and hatred as she stared intently at the ghost mask that was now almost within reach.

Li Qingjue's eyes, hidden behind the mask, remained lonely and undisturbed.

She looked into Shao Hanyun's eyes and saw the familiar resentment and bitterness.

The slight ripple in his heart caused by his unwarranted anger towards the other party was quickly covered by a deeper obsession and the thought that "it should be this way".

Now that Master is gone, you women who were once his lovers should behave yourselves better.

Since you don't understand, I'll teach you...

The Empress's thoughts raced, and with a flash of light from her chaotic hand, she carried Shao Hanyun, who was completely sealed away, unconscious, and forced into a deep sleep, and suddenly sank downwards.

It pierced straight through the ground of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, penetrated the foundation of Lost Day Island, and sank into the bottomless, cold, and dark depths of the South China Sea eye!

Rumble...

A giant hand sank into the seabed, enveloping Shao Hanyun's figure in a ball of divine essence liquid. Then, countless chaotic runes and dark light chains transformed into tangible sealing chains, penetrating deep into the seabed's ley lines.

They connected with the South China Sea element and set up an unparalleled imperial formation covering a radius of 100,000 li!

Under the Empress's arrangement, this formation is based on chaos, devouring all paths and isolating everything. As long as she is alive, unless a supreme being wields the killing formation and attacks with all their might, it will be extremely difficult to break through.

Shao Hanyun, sealed within the core of the array, will fall into the deepest slumber, her consciousness stagnating.

For the long years that followed, it was as if it were frozen in amber of time, only able to awaken when the power of the seal naturally weakened over time, or when an external force broke the seal.

Having done all this, the Empress withdrew her hand.

She spoke of it all casually, as if she had only done a trivial little thing.

Finally, she took one last look at the still deathly silent Lost Day Island, where no one dared to look up, and then at the direction of the South China Sea where Shao Hanyun had sunk. Behind the ghost mask, no one knew what her expression was.

clatter……

Then, she turned around, took a step, and her figure vanished silently into the void, as if she had never existed.

Only the terrifying imperial might that still lingers here, causing one's primordial spirit to tremble, and the newly built, desolate town deep in the South China Sea, exuding a trace of loneliness, remain.

And then there were the thousands of powerful demons inside the Demon Palace who, after he left, remained prostrate on the ground, trembling like leaves, and dared not rise for a long time.

It silently recounts the brief yet momentous event that had just occurred, a moment that shook the entire Starry Sky Demon Clan and plunged the entire universe into unease once again.

The Devouring Emperor has reappeared in the world after a thousand years.

In the blink of an eye, the seal has become a myth of the world, and the demon lord, whom all demons pay homage to, is located at the bottom of the South China Sea of ​​the ancient star Gouchen!

Outside the territory,

When the news of this commotion spread, the entire universe was plunged into an uproar and deathly silence.

A tremendous wave of emotion surged in the hearts of all the heroes.

Will the demon lord who was sealed away ever see the light of day again, slumbering in the endless darkness of the sea eye?

No one knows.

But many people speculate that as long as this capricious, domineering and ruthless Devouring Emperor is alive, there will never be a time when he breaks the seal.

Who would have thought that the reason the other party was sealed off was simply because the empress saw him smile?

…………

at the same time,

Not far from the Ziwei Imperial Star, in the northern border of the Canglan Ancient Star, lies the Guanghan Palace.

This is a sacred land of immortals, covered by snow and ice that never melts, yet brimming with spiritual energy, so much so that it transforms into a tangible mist that swirls around it.

Constructed of white jade and millennia-old ice, the sprawling palace complex is built along the precipitous mountainside, featuring flying eaves, intricately carved beams, and painted rafters.

Bathed in the cool moonlight and the ever-present light mist, it is crystal clear, shimmering with a moon-like radiance, as if the legendary moon palace, secluded from the mortal world, has fallen to earth.

Between the palaces, ice bridges and jade railings connect them.

Beneath the bridge is not flowing water, but a slowly flowing "Cold Mist Spirit Stream" formed from pure Xuan Yin Qi.

Various cold-resistant plants and flowers sway gracefully in the stream, emitting a refreshing and delicate fragrance.

There is also a forbidden area called "Guanghan Immortal Pool". The pool water is icy cold, but it contains the purest Guanghan divine essence, which is of great benefit to women's cultivation and is one of the foundations of Guanghan Palace.

At this moment, deep within the Guanghan Palace, on the rooftop terrace of the "Wangshu Pavilion," the tallest building overlooking the entire snow-covered mountain range, a small gathering is taking place.

The terrace is paved with a single piece of "Moon Soul Jade," smooth as a mirror, reflecting the flowing clouds in the sky and the distant snow-capped peaks.

The surrounding area is enclosed by transparent "ice crystal glass" railings, which are carved with many mysterious patterns.

In the center is a round jade table, on which sits a tea set carved from "Warm Sun Jade," brewing the top-grade "Snow-Top Cloud Mist Tea" from the Eastern Wilderness of the Big Dipper, second only to Enlightenment Tea.

The aroma of tea blends with the unique, cool atmosphere of this place, creating a distinctive charm.

Beside the jade table, three women, each with a distinct temperament yet all unparalleled in their beauty, sat enjoying tea.

At the eastern end, there was a woman dressed in a moon-white, flowing, wide-sleeved dress.

Her skirt was made of a light and thin material, with faint moon halo patterns embroidered with silver thread, flowing like moonlight as she moved.

She wore a light shawl of the same color, woven from "Cicada Ice Silk," which fluttered in the wind, adding to the ethereal effect.

Her long, black hair was partially tied up, with the rest cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall. There were no other ornaments in her hair except for a small, delicate ice crystal forehead ornament shaped like a teardrop, which made her skin appear even whiter than snow.

Her figure was slender and graceful, her temperament as aloof as the moon, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.

It was none other than the master of this place, the Moon Fairy Gu Qingying.

She walked barefoot on a soft ferret carpet, her slender feet like jade, her ankles delicate and unadorned, forming a striking contrast with the surrounding cold jade ground, which only accentuated her icy skin and jade-like bones.

At this moment, she is holding a teapot in her delicate hands, pouring tea for her guests with elegant and graceful movements. Her eyes and brows carry a familiar, faint detachment, as if she has seen through the ways of the world.

To the west was a woman dressed in a dark blue, fitted outfit.

The dress was neatly tailored and fit perfectly, outlining her tall, lithe, and powerful figure.

A wide leather belt inlaid with dark gold dragon scales was tied around her waist, making her waist appear even more slender and powerful.

Her jet-black hair was tied high into a neat ponytail, secured with a golden ribbon, with not a single stray hair in front, revealing her smooth, full forehead and those sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
