Outside Of Time

Chapter 1209 Untitled

Xu Qingʼs eyes narrowed but his expression didnʼt change at all. In the blink of an eye, his body entered the third god form and the semi-finished fourth god form rose.

The shadow of the Sundial was faintly discernible.

The ancient sun tied to his body also shone at this instant. A terrifying might rose from him.

At that moment, the Emperor Sword in the sky was attacking the black meatball that was about to descend from the Divine Realmʼs rift.

The large hand formed by the power of the Human Emperor was also dissipating because of the power of the god in the black sphere.

The pressure from the Divine Realm spread through the Imperial Academy, causing most of the cultivators here to cough up blood. Their minds rumbled and they were unable to move.

Bai Xiaozhuoʼs timing could be said to be very precise and his speed was incomparably fast. Now that he appeared in front of Xu Qing, it was like a heavenly mountain was suppressing him. The tentacles of his entire body were enhanced by his Soul Accumulation combat strength. Coupled with his terrifying divinity, it formed a fatal blow.

However, no matter how precise the timing was, how fast his attack was, it was impossible to kill Xu Qing here.

Actually, Bai Xiaozhuo knew this. Hence, there was another reason for this seemingly fatal scene.

He wanted to see who would save Xu Qing.

Would the Great Emperor split his attention to save Xu Qing?

Or maybe, as his master had mentioned, there could be a third-party force hidden within the Imperial City, or even some other presence.

In short, Bai Xiaozhuo felt that he could at least lure out some of these forces with his attack so that his master could gain more information.

Bai Xiaozhuoʼs judgment was correct and the truth was indeed so. The instant Bai Xiaozhuo got close to Xu Qing, the expression of the Great Emperorʼs face on the Ancient Sovereign Planet suddenly revealed sharpness.

In the Mortal World Forgetful Tower, in the shrine in the ancestral hall, the clay fox emitted a demonic light.

At the same time, among the students around the Imperial Academyʼs Dao platform, not everyone was stripped of mobility. There was a student whose eyes revealed a cold glint and was about to step forward.

However, there was a faction that cared more about Xu Qingʼs life and death than anyone else. No matter what, they wouldnʼt allow Xu Qing to be killed like this.

Hence, they moved faster than others.

The instant Bai Xiaozhuo got close to Xu Qing, furious roars spread in all directions like thunder.

”Freeze!”

”Retreat!”

”Collapse!”

”Weaken!”

”Fortify!”

”Accelerate!”

”Indestructibility!”

Every word contained the intent of the Great Dao, and was like the sound of the Heavenly Dao. The laws and rules inside were circulated to the extreme and became the highest level of law.

As soon as the word ʼfreezeʼ was spoken, even Bai Xiaozhuo, who had the combat strength of a Soul Accumulation cultivator, felt his entire body tremble violently. He was forcefully stopped for a moment. When the word ʼretreatʼ rang out, it actually caused his body to take a step back.

When the word ʼcollapseʼ echoed, Bai Xiaozhuoʼs entire body rumbled and he actually showed signs of collapse.

However, his divinity forcefully erupted at this moment. Although he was affected, his momentum turned into an illusory finger that continued to press down on Xu Qing. Wherever it passed, the void would shatter and everything would collapse. The intent of extermination was intense.

However, it was only for an instant. In the blink of an eye, it was reduced by half by the word ʼweakenʼ.

Immediately after, the ʼfortifyʼ word acted on Xu Qingʼs body, transforming into an incomparably sturdy protective armor that helped him resist the power of Bai Xiaozhuoʼs finger.

Booming sounds echoed as the armor collapsed. The word ʼspeedʼ enhanced Xu Qingʼs speed, causing his retreat speed to increase explosively. In an instant, he retreated by ten thousand feet.

The final word ʼindestructibilityʼ actually contained divinity, and had the intent of a godʼs indestructibility. It enveloped Xu Qingʼs entire body and formed a golden light that transformed into a solemn face in front of him, enduring the last remaining strength from Bai Xiaozhuoʼs finger.

From afar, after Bai Xiaozhuoʼs finger destroyed everything, it ultimately ruthlessly collided into the faceʼs forehead.

At the next instant, the face collapsed and thousands of wails rang out. However, Bai Xiaozhuoʼs finger couldnʼt continue and dissipated.

In the air, Xu Qing stood there unscathed…

This scene caused the various forces to feel an intense sense of surprise. What was surprising wasnʼt that Xu Qing was fine but that the person who attacked…

”Xu Qing is the Divine Son of our sect!”

A soft voice rang out from the void in front of Xu Qing. At the next instant, a crack was torn open in the void. Through the crack, one could see that there was an altar inside.

This altar seemed to be in a heavenly cave. At the entrance of the cave above, one could see the sky and the fragmented-face hanging high in the sky. The altar was vast and had a total of 999 steps. At the highest point stood a cultivator in a black robe.

On each step below stood numerous figures in black robes, and even in the depths of the abyss below the altar, more black-robed figures could be seen meditating in a cross-legged position.

Inside were thousands of people, and the ground before them was stained with blood, indicating that they had taken upon themselves the force of Bai Xiaozhuoʼs finger in place of Xu Qing.

As that sentence echoed, the black-robed figure, who was standing at the highest point of the altar, took a step forward and directly crossed the rift that appeared in the space of the Imperial Academy. He walked into the Imperial Academy and stood in front of Xu Qing.

The moment he appeared, the power of Soul Accumulation erupted from his body. His aura was mighty, and he actually gave off a trace of the aura of the fragmented-face.

The arrival of this person caused the expressions of the various forces to change.

”High Priest of the True Words!”

The faction who saved Xu Qing was none other than the True Words!

This scene caused Bai Xiaozhuo to frown. What he wanted to lure wasnʼt this group of lunatics who seemed to be on the same path as him but in reality, their core ideals were completely different.

The eyes of the Human Emperor in the projection of the palace narrowed slightly as well. He could have made a move earlier but he chose to wait and see because he also wanted to see who would come to save Xu Qing.

Hence, at this moment, his mood was somewhat similar to Bai Xiaozhuoʼs and he was even more surprised.

Just as everyone was feeling shocked, the High Priest of True Words, who had appeared in front of Xu Qing, lifted his head. Within the black robes concealing his face, only a pair of red eyes could be seen, gazing at Bai Xiaozhuo.

”Divine Son, donʼt move!”

After saying that, the black-robed figure turned his head and looked at Xu Qing. The red light in his eyes emitted greed and the sound of gulping rang out.

”Divine Son, Iʼm late. Are you injured?”

”If you are injured, it will affect the taste due to other auras being mixed in, and you wonʼt taste good.”

As he spoke, the sound of him gulping became even more intense. A similar sound also came from the countless black-

robed figures at the altar in the crack.

All of them lifted their heads and greedily looked at Xu Qing through the crack.

The doctrine of the True Words was to find people who didnʼt die under the gaze of the fragmented-face. They thought such people were blessed by the fragmented-face, and only such people could be the Divine Sons of the True Words.

After eating the Divine Son, they would be closer to the god.

They had been their practice throughout history. The ones they ate the most were people who had survived the opening of the fragmented-faceʼs eyes once. As for those who have survived the gaze twice, there were rumors that the True Words of other regions had consumed them, but the followers of the human raceʼs True Words had not.

Xu Qingʼs expression was unsightly. He didnʼt expect that the one who appeared was actually the True Words. Also, the other partyʼs words made him immediately realize that although he had discovered the True Words with his divine technique back then, they had also discovered some things about him.

Hence, this group of lunatics appeared.

At that moment, in the Divine Realm in the sky, the black meatball let out a deep roar. Under the threat of the Emperor Sword, It didnʼt dare to forcefully barge in. It was as though all Its previous actions were just a test.

Now that It had probed the answer, It chose to retreat.

The crack in the Divine Realm no longer expanded. It slowly began to shrink and turn blurry.

As for Bai Xiaozhuo, seeing that the situation wasnʼt going according to his plan, he lifted his head and looked at the Human Emperor in the sky.

The Human Emperor was also looking at him with a calm gaze, as though he was telling the other party that he was still watching the display.

The moment their gazes met, for some reason, the words Xu Qing had said to him back then in Fenghai County appeared in Bai Xiaozhuoʼs mind.

ʼYou arenʼt worthy of following Crown Prince Purple Green.”

Bai Xiaozhuo closed his eyes.

ʼHeʼs right because Iʼm… not pure.ʼ

When he opened his eyes again, Bai Xiaozhuoʼs aura was less ancient and more lively. His eyes also became clear. He raised his hand and ruthlessly struck the heart in his chest.

With this strike, his heart that came from the Divine Realm instantly exploded. Amidst the rumbling and violent sounds, all the power of the divine source contained in it erupted in unison.

Nothing was left behind.

His body also began to burn intensely at this moment.

Like a moth flying into the fire, he displayed the last resplendence of his life.

This eruption and burning brought him to his peak in an instant. The aura on his body soared explosively and the power of anomalous substances spread endlessly. The feeling of a god became increasingly intense.

Under the influence of the anomalous substances, the sky above him blurred and sparks appeared in the haze.

That was a flower formed by fire. It was… the heavenfate flower!

At first, there was one, but very soon, there were two, three… In the blink of an eye, the entire sky of Imperial Academy was filled with heavenfate flowers. From afar, it was like a huge painting that was spread out between heaven and earth.

They were endless, all formed by golden flames that were dazzling like woven brocade.

As for the streams of fire on the flowers, when they landed on the ground, flames bloomed. However, they were no longer heavenfate flowers but spider lily.

The color was red.

Endless… A gentle breeze blew past, and layers of ripples emerged on the sea of fire of the spider lilies. It was as though someone was plucking the ancient zither strings, emitting the sound of reincarnation.

There were the heavenfate flowers above and spider lilies below, forming a sea of golden-red sparks that kept blooming and erupting.

There were different rituals to become a god. At this moment, one of them emerged in the Imperial Academy.

Once these flames continued, it was equivalent to igniting the divine fire!

Bai Xiaozhuoʼs body turned blurry and emerged as a different form with each passing moment.

His combat force was also becoming increasingly astonishing in this sea of flowers. However, it was a pity that igniting the divine fire wasnʼt so simple after all. The difficulty was too great.

The Red Moon Divine Son had failed, and Bai Xiaozhuo… had started it in a hurry. There was no possibility of success.

This could be seen from the fact that there were already sparks showing signs of extinguishing at the edge of the sea of flowers.

However, no matter what, at this moment, Bai Xiaozhuoʼs combat force had already reached the limit of his life.

This scene also triggered waves in the hearts of everyone who was staring.

The Human Emperorʼs eyes glowed resplendently, perhaps because of the reflection of the sparks.

As this light shone, Bai Xiaozhuoʼs voice was like the murmurs of a god, echoing through the Imperial City.

”With the world as a furnace and all living beings as charcoal, the dual fires of gold and red ignite the divine fire. Emperor, please watch.”

The moment the voice rang out, Bai Xiaozhuo moved, enveloping the heavenfate flowers in the sky, the spider lilies on land, as well as the golden and red fires. Together, they formed a blazing meteor, moving toward the Emperorʼs direction!

Around him, the clouds surged, the heavenfate flowers and spider lilies bloomed together, while the fierce golden and red fires illuminated the sky, their light shining upon thousands of kilometers.
