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

Chi Tianfeng smiled and helped the two children up.

He was secretly thinking to himself that with two new daughters and now a pair of disciples, things were getting lively.

Perhaps this is also a sign of the Chi family's prosperity?

"My heart is at peace, I'm off!"

At this moment, Song Canghai clasped his hands slightly towards Chi Tianfeng, then let out a long roar, his figure soaring into the sky and disappearing without a trace.

"Father!!"

The two children stood there, not expecting the separation to come so soon. They were stunned for a moment, and then burst into heart-wrenching cries.

Seeing this, Chi Tianfeng had a headache and ordered his men to take the two disciples away and settle them in.

"Drink! Drink to your heart's content..."

"We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"

"You all say that Song Canghai is going to..."

An unexpected incident ignited the atmosphere of the banquet, pushing the story of "entrusting the orphan to a master" to its climax.

"Hey? Who's that sickly guy in the wheelchair over there? He's sitting so close to the front, and he hasn't said a word the whole time, but he's got a lot of people serving him!"

You mean him...?

"It's him? That's not surprising. I've heard about the connection between that clan and the Chi family before..."

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, and everyone said that the Chi family was blessed with great fortune and long-lasting luck, but there were also some whispers among the guests.

…………

Chapter 75 I have to see what her face looks like under the mask.

And just as the Chi family was celebrating.

Boom!!

A tremendous wave suddenly surged from a certain place in the Central Plains, subtly shaking the entire Five Domains of the Big Dipper.

High above the Central Plains, the void trembled.

A massive portal connecting the vast outer realms slowly condensed deep within the Qishi Mansion before finally expanding and opening up!

Many talented individuals from various regions who had recently gathered in the mansion could be seen looking around.

Beyond the portal lay a vast, desolate galaxy, and at those extremely distant coordinate nodes lay the ancient human path's trial checkpoints, which they could not yet see.

"This is……"

"The ancient road has opened?!"

"..."

"The great battle for supremacy begins today!"

When the commotion spread.

At this moment, the five regions of Beidou were in an uproar.

Countless young prodigies and geniuses had their eyes gleaming with divine light, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!

The ancient road has been opened, and a great era has begun. The struggle for the imperial path in this lifetime has slowly begun, but it is far from the most brutal moment.

Wow!

Across the Beidou region, numerous young and powerful auras soared into the sky, utilizing array platforms such as the Xuan Yu Platform to traverse the void, heading straight for the Qishi Mansion!

However, that only represents a portion of contemporary cultivators.

Many more extraordinary individuals choose to travel along the way, encountering countless opponents along the way. Before even setting foot on the ancient road, they have already forged ahead, enduring countless trials and tribulations.

Whoosh!

Three years later, at the edge of the boundary between Zhongzhou and Donghuang.

A streak of dark light swept across the sky and landed silently on a cliff.

As the wisps of dark light dissipated, a slender and exquisite figure was revealed.

Li Qingjue, dressed in a black dress and wearing a bronze mask, exuded unparalleled beauty, yet was also like a deadly poppy, ready to take lives.

Since parting ways with her master, she seemed to have truly become a different person.

Without her master by her side, her solitary training made her increasingly cold and aloof.

If the restrained demonic energy were released at this moment, its chilling aura would almost solidify.

In the eyes of some of the monks who have recently perished at her hands, she is like a demon who has returned from purgatory.

Three years have passed.

Her cultivation has now reached the peak of the second level of the Sendai realm, and she is only one step away from breaking through to the Dao!

In just three years, he went from entering the Sendai realm to reaching the half-step Dao-severing stage, while constantly improving his "Devouring Heaven Demon Art." Such a speed of cultivation and such astonishing talent would be enough to shock the world if spread.

This involves crossing nearly twenty minor realms!

For ordinary geniuses, making two or three small steps within a major realm in a year is already considered rapid progress, but her progress is beyond the realm of ordinary understanding.

shuh...

Standing quietly on the cliff for a moment, Li Qingjue concealed his aura, his clear and serene gaze sweeping over the various races' prodigies lingering in this incomplete secret realm along the way.

Her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever; she was as cold as a killing machine, and when she looked at those cultivators of the same age with their different auras, it was as if she were looking at a pile of "resources" waiting to be harvested.

"The ancient road has been open for three years. After this, I shall also head to the outer realms..."

Li Qingjue murmured to himself.

The "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" technique required her to develop a powerful and unique source of power for her subsequent transformation of her mortal body and increase her combat strength.

Today, among the geniuses of various races still remaining in the Big Dipper Star Region, very few can meet her requirements.

In fact, if her cultivation level hadn't been so low three years ago, when she was only at the initial stage of Sendai, she would have already embarked on the ancient path of the human race.

hum...

My gaze swept over them.

Soon, Li Qingjue locked onto a target.

He was a young powerhouse from the demon race, whose true form was a golden-winged roc. His bloodline was pure and extraordinary, and he had already severed his Dao. He was arrogant and domineering.

At this moment, he was arguing with someone, and his body was filled with demonic energy.

"You are the one."

Li Qingjue's figure flickered, disappearing from the spot like a ghost.

next moment.

She appeared directly behind the Golden-Winged Roc cultivator, her demonic energy surging around her, but she did not attack suddenly, as if waiting for the other party to react and engage in a fierce battle.

"Who?!"

Almost simultaneously, the Golden-Winged Roc genius, with his keen senses, suddenly turned around, his golden pupils shrinking sharply.

He reacted extremely quickly, retreating rapidly while his palms transformed into claws, unleashing the innate divine power of his clan, used in the ancient battle against "true dragons".

bang...

As if a claw had been unleashed to cleave the heavens, the dilapidated secret realm here became increasingly precarious, and the many cultivators within were filled with dread.

Faced with this claw, Li Qingjue simply extended one hand.

It was a jade hand wreathed in endless dark light, surging with demonic energy, seemingly capable of devouring everything!

Li Qingjue was ruthless, directly unleashing the power of demonic arts.

As the jade hand struck out, Dao patterns appeared around it, and a huge black palm appeared out of thin air. It grew longer as it was exposed to the wind, and an invisible vortex seemed to swirl in the palm, emitting a terrifying primal suction force.

boom!!

With a clash between a palm and a claw, the roc claw imprint vanished instantly, and the divine might of the Immortal Three Severing Dao contained within it also disappeared.

The giant, dark palm instantly enveloped the golden-winged roc clan's prodigy.

"No!! This...this demonic art?! You're that ruthless person..."

The giant hand covered the sky and sun, and the prodigy was covered by it. He felt the uncontrollable boiling of his inner source and screamed in terror.

In his desperate struggle, he revealed his true form, spreading his wings and radiating golden light, intending to tear apart the black palm and escape.

Over the past three years, countless prodigies have perished in battles, their life essence drained from their bodies. Rumors have spread throughout the Five Domains of the Big Dipper, and many people turn pale at the mere mention of it.

He had no intention of fighting to the bitter end.

Legend has it that anyone who encountered or fought him died without exception.

Upon seeing him today, even though his opponent was only a cultivator at the peak of the second level of the Immortal Realm, the feeling of being easily defeated in the brief exchange just now told him... Run!

boom……

At this moment, the golden rays of light transformed from the true form of the Golden-Winged Roc soared into the sky, but they were still unable to tear through the dark light that blocked out the sun.

Everything seemed to be in vain.

Bang!

At this moment, Li Qingjue's jade hand clenched in the air, and the dark light handprint also tightened its grip!

bang...

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The powerful Golden-Winged Roc Clan prodigy's body, along with his primordial spirit, was directly crushed, while the remaining primordial energy in the world was devoured by the giant hand.

hum...

The pure primordial power flowed into Li Qingjue's body, causing her demonic energy to surge and her aura to subtly increase, bringing her closer to the third level of immortality.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

This brief exchange was clean, efficient, and ruthless.

By the time some of the cultivators within the secret realm reacted, only a cloud of blood mist remained on the spot.

Those who had struggled with it earlier were dumbfounded, their hearts breaking with fear.

"What ruthless methods!"

"Is she the demon who steals people's life essence? I heard that she opened several hidden tombs, and the life essence of the ancient corpses inside disappeared without a trace..."

An uproar erupted within the secret realm, as countless gazes were fixed in horror on the figure in the black dress, their eyes filled with apprehension and fear.

"Run! Run!"

Some people seemed to recall certain rumors, and were suddenly terrified, transforming into rainbow light and fleeing.

"Why are you running? She's all alone. Do you think she can kill us all?"

However, there were also some prodigies whose figures were as steadfast as pine trees, possessing an invincible aura, remaining completely still, and letting out a sneer:

"A mere peak Immortal Level 2 cultivator? I refuse to believe it today! I'm going to see what her face looks like under that bronze mask!"

……

Chapter Seventy-Six: Crimson Cloud River, the Empress Has Arrived

"Hehe, judging from her figure and temperament, she's probably a femme fatale. We'll suppress her, strip her naked, and let her roam the Five Regions. That would be like eliminating a great scourge for the Big Dipper!"

Among the many prodigies, a blond-haired, black-eyed youth with bronze skin walked toward the figure in the black dress with a cold smile.

He is a descendant of the Golden Family from the Northern Plains. It is said that their lineage has some bloodline from the ancient royal family, the Golden Cave.

clatter……

He took a step forward, causing ripples in the void. He then channeled his divine power and unleashed a punch, with a dazzling golden divine light converging behind him to form a ring of divine laws.

boom!

As the punch came flying, Li Qingjue's serene eyes beneath his mask remained completely undisturbed.
