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

However, at that moment, three other young kings suddenly attacked her from all sides!

Li Qingjue's expression remained as calm as a still well, without the slightest ripple.

hum...

At this moment, she completely released the demonic energy within her body that she used to constantly refine her body.

The demonic energy transformed into dark light, and at this moment, her five great secret realms—the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and even the Immortal Platform—trembled simultaneously.

Within the dark light, three thousand phantom images of gods and demons appeared. At this moment, her cultivation level completely entered the third level of immortality and triggered the divine restriction!

Four people attacked from all sides, their killing moves already close at hand. She neither dodged nor evaded, but instead made a gesture of plucking flowers and leaves with her jade-like hand, condensing a wisp of dark light, and then flicked out a finger!

A single thought can blossom into a flower!

Wow!

As the ray of dark light burst forth, it first transformed into a pitch-black lotus.

Immediately, the lotus petals separated into four, ignoring the distance in the void, and pierced through the brows of the four young prodigies with lightning speed before their killing moves could land.

puff……

The primordial spirits within the four immortal platforms vanished instantly, and the four bodies, like puppets that had lost their control, fell from mid-air.

Their lives were frozen in that instant, without even a scream.

Seeing this scene.

The crowd in the distance was both shocked and furious. Some of them temporarily abandoned their pride as fellow prodigies and joined forces to surround and kill him.

Among these people are those with the Star King Physique and those with the Netherworld Profound Dao Physique...

Each of them possesses combat strength surpassing that of the previous individuals. They are all "supreme" seeds who choose to solidify their own abilities and wait until they reach the semi-saint realm with absolute strength before embarking on the ancient path.

The combined power they unleashed at this moment completely shattered this dilapidated secret realm.

click... click...

The void of the secret realm collapsed piece by piece.

Facing a group of more than ten people, all of whom were geniuses whose cultivation was higher than his own, Li Qingjue, though temporarily stationed in the Divine Forbidden Zone, was unable to gain the upper hand and achieved little.

After a long and intense battle, she noticed the arrival of protectors of the local prodigies and gradually changed the form of her fighting.

In an instant, she moved like an elegant yet deadly infernal witch, wandering through the shattered void.

The dark light surged, and with each strike, a renowned prodigy would fall, their essence mercilessly devoured.

Her methods became increasingly ruthless, and the demonic power she suffered grew stronger.

Some exceptional talents, defying fate, harbored a ruthless determination and risked serious injury to inflict some damage on her instead. She remained unmoved, her eyelids not even blinking beneath the bronze mask.

Such a fearless and invincible demeanor is chilling.

Wherever she went, people fled, leaving behind a trail of blood and fear.

"No!! Spare...spare me..."

"Demon! Demon..."

"Powerful! Too powerful... utterly invincible!"

"Get out of here!"

"Isn't she afraid of incurring public wrath and being attacked by all the Daoist sects of the Five Regions by blatantly devouring the source of power?!"

What exactly is she relying on?

At this moment, all the prodigies were terrified and could no longer muster any fighting spirit. They all retreated.

Rumble...

While Li Qing was slaughtering and bathing in blood, the outer heavens, which had been completely destroyed by the secret realm, were already brewing with tribulation clouds.

Her great tribulation of severing her path has arrived!

However, she ignored it and devoured the essence of more than ten geniuses.

She felt her mortal body growing stronger, and her clear gaze swept across the crowd once more, as if searching for her next target.

But for her, who had already reached the Dao-Slaying level, these so-called prodigies in the arena were no longer even qualified to be stepping stones on her path to the peak.

It's pointless...

Boom!!

As the heavenly lightning struck down, her slender figure went straight to meet it.

There were nine humanoid lightning bolts in a row. Although they were not the legendary Nine Emperors Tribulation, they were still terrifying enough. They evolved from the laws of heaven and earth and were astonishing.

Taking advantage of the collapse of the secret realm, some cultivators who had decisively escaped the calamity were now looking around.

They stared at the figure in the black dress, now swallowed by a purple glow, and were all filled with lingering fear.

Their protectors arrived immediately, which seemed to reassure them, but no one dared to step forward easily.

The tribulation the opponent was undergoing was so terrifying that even some saints and saint kings who were his protectors turned pale at the sight of it, and no one dared to make a move.

Boom!

Rumble...

This is not just a single tribulation that cuts off one's path; heavenly tribulations follow one after another.

Once Li Qingjue entered the third level of immortality, he digested the results of this battle and took several more steps forward in this major realm.

Wow!

Finally, taking advantage of this opportunity, she rushed towards the boundary barrier, circled around, and retreated from the Central Plains back to the Eastern Wilderness.

Although she still has two protective charms given to her by her master.

But she couldn't bear to use it even once.

That was one of the few "things" her master left her, which had been integrated into the void within the bronze ring. It was her longing, so how could she possibly waste it here?

In her heart, even though these two protective charms were destined to dissipate within a hundred years, even if she didn't use them, she still wanted to preserve them as much as possible until the very last moment.

whoosh...

Behind the clouds of calamity, several sages were waiting for their chance to strike.

However, after crossing the boundary, they never expected that the other party's timing was so exquisite that the heavenly tribulation was also dispelled, and they disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it! That ruthless guy got away!"

The ancient artifact of the Golden Family swept his divine sense across the vast天地 (heaven and earth), his eyes blazing with fury.

…………

Southern Regions, within the territory of the ancient Yan Kingdom.

Li Qingjue silently returned to a place not far from Yaoguang Village.

This was a large, watery marsh. She stood on the surface of the marsh, her black dress fluttering in the wind, and a simple silk sash cinching her waist also dancing in the breeze.

Her silhouette was beautiful, like a magnificent vase, radiating countless charms.

She killed too many prodigies this time, and many sects have issued warrants for her arrest in various places.

She really should set off; staying in Beidou would no longer be of any benefit to her improvement of strength or the subsequent transformation of her mortal body.

Before setting off, however, she wanted to take a walk around the Eastern Wilderness and see what it was like.

This departure means no return date is known.

She wanted to see again the place where she and her brother had lived together in their childhood, and to see the villagers who had given her food and clothes but were now growing old.

Then look back at the path she took after meeting her master, who guided and accompanied her along the way.

whoosh...

Several days later, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and left Yaoguang Village, heading to the post station outside the capital of the ancient Yan Kingdom.

She arrived at the abandoned brick kiln that had been completely destroyed at some unknown time, and finally flew to the ruins of the training tower.

Unexpectedly, while passing through the area of ​​Chixia River...

As if it were an illusion, she seemed to sense a faint glow emanating from the bronze ring, which vanished in an instant.

A strange tremor welled up in her heart, and she descended to this place.

……

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Am I the Human Emperor?

Chixia River.

The sun and moon revolve, and time flows by.

More than three years have passed since Tan Lin was brought back to the clan's territory of the Undying Golden Body lineage.

Deep within the stone village, in the quiet room next to the ancestral hall, the essence of heaven and earth is ever-present.

Several high-ranking members of the clan, led by Xiang Li, spared no expense in squandering the clan's remaining resources.

They drew upon the purest metal elemental energy from the core of the earth's veins to nourish Tan Lin, who was then just an infant.

The essence transformed into a faint golden glow, like a warm cocoon, enveloping Tan Lin and nourishing him day and night.

During this period, rare and precious herbs with the daily effect of cleansing bones and marrow were also used to give Tan Lin either orally or for soaking, laying a solid foundation for him to truly embark on the path of cultivation in the future.

However, under such nourishment that disregards all costs, there are actually quite a few dissenting opinions among the tribe members.

Because of the layers of information blockade, they had never had direct contact with Tan Lin and had no way of knowing the inside story.

As the family declined, the resources within the clan became limited. If more was given to Tan Lin, less would be left for their descendants.

However, this dissent was suppressed by the top leadership with absolute force.

Their daily resource supply to Tan Lin not only did not decrease, but increased day by day.

This was not a waste. Even though Tan Lin was still young and had not truly embarked on cultivation, his indestructible golden body divine embryo was indeed able to refine so many resources.

Over the past three or four years, his small body has grown at a visible rate.

He was no longer as frail as he had been in the snow valley. At less than four years old, he already possessed the physique of a six- or seven-year-old child in his clan, and the power of his blood and qi within his body was unmatched by his peers.

Even some adult cultivators in the clan might not be able to defeat him in a contest of pure physical strength.

This day.

After Xiang Li personally delivered the jade marrow milk, carefully brewed with spiritual herbs, to Tan Lin, he did not leave immediately.

He dismissed the three clansmen who were serving the infant god, and sat alone on the armchair in front of the warm jade bed, silently watching Tan Lin.

On the couch, Tan Lin was in a proper five-heart-facing-sky posture, refining the medicinal power within his body.

A faint golden light flowed between his chest and abdomen, and at times it seemed as if the sound of a tsunami accompanied by lightning and thunder came from his navel.

"call……"

After a long while, he let out a long breath, but did not open his eyes.

He was thinking.

For more than three years, he has been dreaming almost every day.

Those fragments of memory that swam out of the Soul Pearl of All Causes continued to integrate into his current soul consciousness in his dreams.

So far, he has awakened some of the innate wisdom from his first incarnation, as well as scattered memories from his second and third incarnations.

Thus, I gradually learned some things:

'Deep within my soul are four deep crimson marks, meaning I have been reincarnated three times in this world… In my dream, I seemed to hear someone calling me… calling me the Human Emperor? Is this true…?'

Tan Lin pondered silently.

One memory is of a scene inside a magnificent palace.

A group of arrogant and fierce soldiers bestowed upon him the title of Emperor, while he himself sat high on the altar, somewhat helpless...

Based solely on this memory, it's difficult to prove anything, but it does lead to quite a few speculations.

It can only be said that he has awakened too little of his memories as the Human Emperor at present, and he cannot understand many key points or ponder some questions, so he has to give up for the time being.
