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

Standing there, Chi Xuan clenched her jade-like hands lightly, a trace of self-reproach in her heart.

Rumble!!

As the lightning struck, on the other side...

Chi Yao's brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing Tan Lin's condition, she and her sister had similar thoughts, believing that they had affected the other's state of mind in breaking through to the next level.

"Brother, if you break through like this, your cultivation level will likely become unstable in the future..."

Thinking of this, she slowed the rise of her breath and tried to send a telepathic reminder to the other party.

However, before she could speak, her gaze sharpened slightly.

Tan Lin threw a punch that shattered the purple light that had been obscuring the two women's vision, and then his figure shot straight up into the sky where the tribulation clouds were gathering.

At this moment, the true nature of her opponent's breakthrough was revealed to her.

Its aura was as steady as an ancient divine mountain, without the slightest sign of being superficial, clearly indicating that its foundation was terrifyingly solid!

What surprised her even more was that the tribulation she had triggered produced an unusual phenomenon, no longer just a simple lightning bolt.

The heavenly tribulations above merged into one, transforming into a boundless pool of lightning. Within the pool, purple light surged, as if a "celestial gate" was emerging.

That annihilating aura had already subtly overwhelmed the power of the heavenly tribulation on her side!

"Father's words were true; you have indeed become this powerful..."

Staring at that pool of lightning, Chi Yao was momentarily lost in thought.

At this moment, even though she had never fought him before, she knew that if they were to clash, she would be extremely likely to lose.

From childhood to adulthood, she has seen countless geniuses from the five regions of the Big Dipper and even so-called extraterrestrial beings.

But there wasn't a single person as stunning as the other, someone who made her feel temporarily inferior.

Hey!

Thoughts were swirling.

After a brief moment of distraction, Chi Yao's eyes seemed to regain their composure, but she took two more steps... three more steps in the void outside!

At this moment, her cultivation reached the sixth stage of the Dragon Transformation!

Unbeknownst to her, she had already been disrupted by Tan Lin's breakthrough rhythm.

Otherwise, she would at most take two more steps, but there was absolutely no way she would take that third step!

Because of this step, her originally solid Dao foundation, which was as solid as divine metal, began to tremble.

At this moment, she vaguely sensed that her combat power, honed over a long period of time, was almost falling out of the eight forbidden zones.

After taking this step, various signs and feedback were like a bucket of cold water poured on Chi Yao's burning Dao heart, making her truly calm down.

She acted impulsively!

Just now, I actually had a slight competitive thought, thus ignoring my own actual situation.

To put it bluntly, she is ultimately just a teenage girl, and her mindset and state of mind still need to be honed in the future.

Fortunately, she had taken every step of her cultivation with utmost steadiness, and her foundation was deeper than ever before.

Her foundation trembled slightly at the moment, but as she stopped her cultivation and focused on consolidating her realm, it stabilized again.

Chapter 118 It's All My Fault

Lakeside.

Chi Xuan also saw Tan Lin's actual condition.

But she didn't quite understand what her sister had just done.

When did the other person become less composed?

At this moment, both sides' cultivation levels are rising one after another. You take one more step, and I advance one more small realm. Are they chasing each other and having some kind of cultivation competition?

Rumble... Rumble...

As time went on.

The tribulation clouds surrounding the two above the valley intensified, but suddenly, a change occurred!

The celestial energy of the two sides quietly formed a peculiar resonance and attraction in the high sky.

Suddenly, Chi Yao's purple tribulation cloud expanded by one circle, and the color of the tribulation lightning changed from purple to dark, carrying wisps of black light, and its power suddenly increased by two times!

Meanwhile, where Tan Lin was, the Thunder Pool surged violently, suddenly absorbing Chi Yao's cloud of tribulation.

At this moment, the two calamity clouds merged into one, almost covering the entire valley and even the Tianchi Mountain Range. Thunder roared, and the heavenly might was like a prison, suffocating everyone.

The Thunder Pool underwent tremendous changes, and the "Immortal Gate," which was initially hazy due to the accumulation of purple arcs of electricity, gradually became clear.

laugh!

Sizzle... Sizzle...

In an instant, the steps formed by ten thousand feet of tribulation lightning appeared out of thin air, and the illusory image of the immortal gate completely evolved in the lightning pool, revealing a plaque above.

South Heaven Gate!!

Standing there, Chi Xuan's face turned slightly pale. She was only at the third level of the fourth realm, and under the combined might of heaven, she felt difficulty breathing.

She quickly activated her Yuanling Body, her body radiating a soft, clear light. She also connected with the Dao patterns in the area to barely resist the attack. At the same time, she retreated rapidly to the edge of the valley, anxiously looking at the approximate location of the two people who had been submerged in a purple light.

Her primordial spirit body was most sensitive to changes in the energy of heaven and earth, and she could clearly feel how terrifying the annihilating aura permeating the valley above was.

In this situation, the aftershock of any lightning strike would be enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary cultivator in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

She originally intended to use the array's Dao patterns to harmonize and shield them, preventing them from interfering with each other.

But at this moment, she realized her own overestimation of her abilities. Her current cultivation level and the extent to which she had explored her physical potential seemed so insignificant in the face of such power of heaven and earth, and she could not truly control it.

"Simultaneous tribulation, a heavenly tribulation of this scale... that guy's tribulation lightning power didn't change much, but my sister's... it's all my fault!"

Her palms were sweating; she was worried about her sister and also felt a little guilty towards herself.

Who could have imagined that things would turn out this way?

If either of these two people hadn't been so outrageous, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Rumble...

Amidst the deep purple lightning.

Tan Lin and Chi Yao looked up almost simultaneously at the terrifying Thunder Pool, and then seemed to glance at each other from afar.

In fact, if Chi Yao were to leave now, she wouldn't have to go through this tribulation with someone that didn't belong to her.

But in this world, those who are exceptionally talented and aspire to become emperors will generally not choose to retreat at this moment.

Once you retreat, your spirit will dissipate, and your future path will rarely be unaffected.

Those who, like the Great Emperor of Chaos in later generations, ascend to the pinnacle through repeated adversity and setbacks are ultimately very few in this world.

boom!!!

The Thunder Pool surged for several breaths, completely locking onto the auras of the man and woman. At this point, even if Chi Yao wanted to retreat, it was too late.

Rumble...

The majestic Southern Gate Heaven crashed down with overwhelming power, causing subtle collapses in the void wherever it passed.

Tan Lin's eyes remained deep and unwavering, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Such a calamity came at just the right time for him!

He needed the thunder and fire of heaven and earth and the fragments of the Dao principles contained within them to temper the massive amount of creation essence that the great dragon of his spine had swallowed up but had not yet had time to refine, so that his dragon transformation secret realm could be solidified in a short period of time.

Not only that, it can also hone his invincible fist intent.

Wow!

At this moment, he rose up amidst the purple light, his black clothes fluttering, and a pale golden blood aura swirling around him, actually emitting an aura that seemed to be a provocation.

Immediately afterwards, his figure moved upstream.

On the other side, a hint of seriousness flashed in Chi Yao's clear, starry eyes, but more so, there was determination and composure.

Her mind had calmed down again. Staying to weather this tribulation was a matter of course, and she was confident that she could overcome it and complete a transformation.

hum...

The instant Tan Lin moved, her hand seals also changed, and the purple divine Daoist aura around her became increasingly rich, transforming into a hazy purple Daoist robe that covered her body.

The Taoist robe seemed to have the illusory images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers flowing around it, making it mysterious and extraordinary.

At this moment, she pushed the connection between her physical constitution and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to its limit, intending to use the Dao to ward off calamity.

……

Rumble...

The restrictions outside the valley could not completely isolate this earth-shattering celestial phenomenon and its immense divine might.

Almost the instant the Thunder Pool took shape.

The guest quarters area of ​​the Chi family estate.

Meng Lü, the holy son of the Beidou Sect, Song Zecen of the Tianwu Holy Land, and others came out one after another.

They gazed toward the Nine Apertures Spirit Lake, feeling the awe-inspiring power of the heavens, which remained palpable even through layers of restrictions and distance.

"Such divine might... someone must be undergoing the 'Great Tribulation of Sendai'. Besides those twin lotus blossoms, what other peerless geniuses does the Chi family possess?"

"The Song brothers? I remember their cultivation level was previously at the Dragon Transformation Realm."

"Them? It's true that they have the pure blood of the Azure King flowing through their veins, but they're still lacking something..."

No! It's two heavenly powers combined! Could it be that the two brothers broke through to the next realm simultaneously?

As they were talking, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on the face of the Saint King of Tianwu Holy Land as he watched.

"Hehe, if that's really the case, then I'll have to carefully assess the value of these two brothers. Now is the time to make some investments and arrangements, so they might be worth bringing into my cult in the future..."

Beside him, an old relic from the Big Dipper Cult squinted and chuckled.

however.

Before he could finish speaking, two twin figures walked past outside the courtyard, bringing him to an abrupt halt.

"That direction? It seems that Junior Sister Chi Xuan is going to take that indestructible golden body into the Nine Apertures Spirit Lake today..."

"Don't you know? Junior Sister Chi Yao also went during the day. Did both of you trigger the Heavenly Tribulation at the same time? And both of them were such terrifying lightning tribulations! They were completely comparable to other people's Immortal Platform Tribulation!"

No... no, Junior Sister Chi Xuan's cultivation level hasn't reached the peak of the Four Extremes yet. Even if there are signs of a breakthrough, it shouldn't be like this. It must be Junior Sister Tan Lin and Junior Sister Chi Yao.

They cultivated together in the lake? And both broke through their cultivation realms at the same time?

At this moment, the brothers Song Qiwen and Song Qiwu also came out of their respective residences and came to the guest courtyard, which had a relatively open view.

They gazed at the churning Thunder Pool in the sky, where the illusory image of the Southern Heavenly Gate faintly appeared.

Seeing this, Song Qiwu's expression changed constantly, with shock, jealousy, and resentment intertwined in his eyes.

They all considered themselves geniuses, but the heavenly tribulation they triggered when they ascended to dragon form was incomparable to the scene before them.

But this wasn't the key reason for their emotional imbalance; the main reason was the special treatment Tan Lin might receive, which they envied.

Chapter 119 Truly Like a Young Immortal King

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

At the same time, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out one after another in the rear hall of the Chi family.

The Nine Apertures Spirit Lake stirred, and Chi Tianfeng and Qin Suyao instantly appeared high in the sky outside the valley.

Soaring through the air, they surveyed the situation within the valley, their expressions a mixture of surprise, joy, and deep concern.
