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

The Soul-Suppressing Patterns merged instantly with the drops of Divine Soul Water that fell into various corners and then flew up.

It then transformed into countless soul-locking chains, as illusory as Tan Lin's figure.

The chains, like snakes of mixed gold, silver, and transparent colors emerging from their holes, formed a net from all directions, entangling Tan Lin's remnant soul!

at the same time.

The ancient well beside the Immortal Daoist was also disrupted by the large amount of soul water in the pool, which boiled violently. A terrifying suction force targeting the soul came, trying to drag Tan Lin's remnant soul into the pool to be melted!

boom……

A decisive battle suddenly unfolded.

however.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Tan Lin's remnant soul remained completely unmoved.

Under the dual states of [Reverse Perspective of All Causes] and [Barrier of All Causes], he passed through the barrier of the Central Continent and proceeded stealthily, even passing through the outer perimeter of the Human Emperor's Palace without hindrance.

However, the soul-suppressing patterns and the pool of divine soul water arranged inside this giant hall were so dense that he had no choice but to reveal himself.

But so what?

hum...

As soon as Tan Lin had a thought, a deep crimson light spot flew into his palm from the scale of the Soul Pearl.

At that moment, as the countless soul-binding chains drew near, he pushed the barrier to its limit.

The barrier seemed to temporarily transform into a physical shell, accommodating his remnant soul as a buffer between him and the soul-locking chains.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

The fireflies within the deep crimson light burned fiercely, and Tan Lin's remnant soul was stained with a deep crimson hue.

At this moment, he is Crimson, and Crimson is him.

At this moment, even though the Immortal Daoist knew from the movement of those chains that his figure must still be there, he could no longer see anything.

boom!!!

And at this very moment.

Those chains, which were personally set up by the Immortal Daoist and were capable of instantly annihilating the soul of any quasi-emperor, vanished the moment they touched the invisible crimson mist, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

No achievements have been made.

"Um?!"

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Taoist's pupils contracted slightly. He waved his whisk and suddenly leaped up from beside the well's eye, entering the formation with his own body.

With the supernatural power of the Divine Soul Pool, even though he couldn't see the other person's figure, he still knew Tan Lin's exact location.

"Such power is simply unheard of. The great secret you possess is indeed not as simple as I perceived it in ancient times..."

Within the formation, the Immortal Daoist narrowed his eyes and locked onto Tan Lin's constantly shifting, invisible silhouette.

The immense power of faith within him surged, and in the next instant, it burst forth with an aura no less powerful than that of any supreme being in a forbidden zone.

Not only that, he also raised his hand and gestured towards the outer realm.

In an instant, a wisp of imperial might pierced through the high heavens, and a terrifyingly powerful artifact, having traversed the endless universe from beyond the realm, was about to fall into his hands.

The Undying Heavenly Blade!!!

He had never underestimated this former "Human Emperor," even though he could see that the other party was in such a state that he was far from being his match.

But he hadn't forgotten that in the hunt before the Primordial Era, he was also confident of victory, but in the end, he still managed to let the opponent escape with a wisp of their remnant soul.

Moreover, what he wanted today was to capture the other party and uncover their great secrets, not to eliminate them.

Therefore, he even briefly used the Undying Heavenly Blade, which was originally protecting the Five-Colored Immortal Egg of his true body outside the realm.

We must seal the town off with a single blow!

boom!!!

The Undying Heavenly Blade reappeared, and before it had truly arrived and unleashed its divine power, the mere wisp of energy it exuded as it traversed the starry sky caused the entire Central Continent and even the Big Dipper Star Region to tremble.

It seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and countless people looked up at the sky in panic.

"God? It's the aura of a god..."

Has His Majesty the Emperor returned?

The ancient race, still in slumber, were awakened by the commotion, and a fervent glint flashed in their eyes within their divine source.

In ancient times, the Immortal Emperor was an absolute myth, possessing absolute authority and revered by all the heavens and races.

Even a powerful figure like the Fighting Saint Emperor initially held it in the highest esteem.

……

Inside the grand hall and its great formation.

Tan Lin's remnant soul used the "Movement" technique to constantly shift his body, reducing the contact between the "All Causes Barrier" and the Soul-Locking Chains.

Forcibly solidifying the barrier as a "shell" of protection consumes energy that is different from the past, and the loss is extremely terrifying. In just one or two breaths, the firefly in the third deep scarlet light spot has already run out!

At the same instant that the Immortal Taoist raised his hand to summon the Immortal Heavenly Blade.

Realizing that the other party intended to seal him away rather than kill him, he withstood a chain lock and his illusory figure arrived in the inner hall.

Immediately, his deep gaze fell behind a screen that served as a barrier.

There stood a battle flag that had once accompanied him in his campaigns across the north and south, and had collected the souls of countless soldiers and generals. As it sensed his approach, it began to hum and tremble, fluttering loudly.

The moment Tan Lin saw the battle flag, he understood immediately.

He now understood why such a large fragment of the Soul-Suppressing Shard had not crumbled into dust and had survived to this day.

"The Emperor's Banner, huh? That's quite a name for me..."

Tan Lin's remnant soul chuckled softly.

……

Chapter 42 The Human Emperor Returns, the Heavens Tremble (4K, please read on!!!)

bang...

At this moment, the firefly inside the third deep scarlet light spot burned out completely, leaving only an empty shell.

As the crimson mist dissipated, Tan Lin's figure reappeared in the Undying Daoist's sight.

Through the screen barrier, the largest fragment of his true soul within the banner trembled violently, resonating intensely with him at this moment.

"Silent for eternity, we come here today to raise the battle flag of yesteryear once more."

Tan Lin's voice was soft, yet it carried a grand and majestic quality that transcended time.

Before he could finish speaking...

A wisp of his consciousness, enveloped in crimson and gray mist, broke through the great array's seal and completely connected with the traces of the Great Dao engraved between heaven and earth in his previous life!

boom……

In an instant, he was completely aroused by an ancient power that seemed to have crossed the river of time and space and descended with a roar!

Millions of years have passed, and now that our whereabouts have been exposed for some time, there is no need to hide anymore!

Boom! ! !

The aura of the Human Emperor's Dao Traces and the Undying Heavenly Blade pierced through the universe almost simultaneously.

The combined aura of the two caused the heavens to tremble and all paths to roar.

At this moment, not only the sky was trembling, but the entire Central Plains seemed to be shaking slightly!

Immediately afterwards, an aura of imperial power, surpassing all living beings and looking down upon the heavens and the earth, erupted from the center of this giant palace and swept across the five regions of the Big Dipper!

Above the heavens, endless auspicious light and colors descended, and the phantoms of the moon and the sun appeared simultaneously, combining to form a yin-yang millstone, releasing an unreal, chaotic energy!

At this moment, Tan Lin's remnant soul merged with his newly condensed primordial spirit, reconstructing his divine soul.

Connecting with the traces of the Great Dao, the battle power of the Human Emperor returns briefly!

Even if it was destined to be just a fleeting moment, and once the time limit was over, the traces of the past life would be further erased, or even disappear, Tan Lin did not care.

All he wants now is that fragment of the true soul within the banner!

thump...

"The Human Emperor?! It's His Majesty the Human Emperor!!!"

"His Majesty has returned! It really is His Majesty!"

"That bastard Gong Xuan actually didn't lie to us? He sealed off His Majesty's place of worship, set up an altar and burned incense every day, and after only three or four months, His Majesty has actually reappeared..."

"..."

"I knew it! With His Majesty's past brilliance, he must have left behind some contingency plans, and he would never truly perish so easily!"

"..."

"I truly never imagined that my visit to Beidou to pay homage to the former site and lineage of the Human Emperor would lead me to witness His Majesty the Human Emperor's return from the void?!"

The power of the moon and the sun is skillfully mixed, and this iconic energy reappears, spreading throughout the five regions of the Big Dipper and even beyond.

At this moment, without anyone saying a word, all the cultivators of the Human Emperor Palace who were directly in the vicinity were shaken to their core.

Those cultivators who usually suffered oppression from Gong Xuan and his cronies, and dared not speak out against their actions.

Even though they were born in this ancient and desolate era, they had only ever been able to admire the portrait of the Human Emperor and learn about him by reading through the records of his deeds in ancient books, without ever having met him in person.

But at this moment, witnessing that vast human figure overlooking the entire world, they were all filled with excitement and their blood boiled with passion.

Pfft!

Thump... Thump...

The aura of imperial power permeated the air. Within the territory of the Human Emperor's Palace, whether cultivators or mortals, everyone was so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and they all knelt down in the direction of the figure that stretched across the sky and earth.

Everyone looked ecstatic.

"Is this... His Majesty the Human Emperor? Indeed, his heroic and majestic bearing... truly befits the ancient ancestral spirit..."

This time, she came to Beidou with the elders of her clan to pay homage to the contemporary human king body of the Human Emperor. She looked up at the illusory figure, her red lips slightly parted, and murmured to herself.

Her eyebrows were arched, her starry eyes wide open, and at that moment, it seemed that only the peerless figure of the Human Emperor remained in her gaze.

I saw it with my own eyes; her hands were slightly clenched, and she felt her blood boiling.

Now that a new era has begun, she too possesses the body of a human king. Will she one day be able to reach the level of the human emperor?

……

Around them, there were also some people whose faces were pale, their bodies trembling, and their eyes filled with bewilderment, fear, and disbelief.

"The Human...the Human Emperor has really appeared? How is this possible?! According to records, he was attacked and killed by several supreme beings from the forbidden zones in turn. His imperial blood, origin, and Dao fruit were all divided up, and his primordial spirit was destroyed. How could he possibly reappear?"

"Don't be afraid. The Human Emperor has already fallen. His return now is nothing but a flash in the pan. He will eventually truly perish. Behind Palace Master Gongxuan is the true Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone!"

"Yes...yes, that's right...even the ancient Human Emperor perished at his peak. Even if he has briefly returned today, how could he possibly be a match for the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone?"

"..."

"Where is Palace Master Gongxuan?"

"Didn't he...did he personally go and deal with that group of cultivators from the Ziwei Star Region?"

"..."

Amidst the earth-shattering commotion, cultivators began to notice that the Human Emperor Palace Master, Gong Xuan, seemed to have vanished.

"That person... really came back?"

At this moment, countless ancient beings across the Beidou region were awakened, and terrifying divine thoughts crossed mountains and rivers, focusing on the Central Plains Human Emperor Palace.

"Is he the one who attained enlightenment through cultivating both the Yin and Yang energies? Though far inferior to that ancient Yin emperor, he's still quite interesting..."

"The one who caused such a commotion when he entered the Undying Mountain last time must have been this person, right?"

"..."

"Heh, so it was that Undying Daoist who laid the trap in Zhongzhou. Now that the Undying Heavenly Blade has also appeared, that Human Emperor is most likely in grave danger this time..."
