Outside Of Time

1379 At the Peak of the World, I Ask the Immortal (1)

....
Jade Flowing Dust, this former Divine Platform god, followed the fragmented-face to Wanggu and had His moments of unparalleled splendor.

As a Divine Platform god, countless gods would bow and tremble before Him.

Even flawlessness would have flaws and face tribulations if He willed it.

This was because He was the tribulation.

It was even more so for all living beings.

In the early days, His divine name was enough to make Wanggu tremble and countless gods look up in reverence.

He originally had the qualifications to walk toward the peak of the Divine Platform or even break through to the True God Realm.

However, all of this changed when a middle-aged man carrying a seven-foot-long bronze sword on his back arrived from the horizon and entered His Divine Realm.

In that battle, if He hadn’t detonated his Divine Realm at the critical moment, He might have perished.

Although He used that opportunity to escape, He was seriously injured and His Divine Platform collapsed into pieces.

From then on, He could only hide, continuously slumbering, not daring to reveal Himself to the world. Despite His lack of emotions, He still felt a sense of fear toward that sword-bearing figure.

That was the instinct of life.

Countless years had passed, but this fear still existed deep inside Him. In the end, His cultivation couldn’t be recovered because… the heart tribulation wasn’t gone.

Therefore, after He knew that the life tribulation of the Sword Holding Great Emperor had descended, He decided to come here.

He wanted to send the other party on his way.

However, when the words left His mouth, it turned into witnessing the last journey…

Ultimately, He was still extremely wary of the Great Emperor who had shocking combat strength back then and still chose to stay after all the Wanggu experts left.

He understood that with the other party’s peak strength back then, although he wasn’t a Summer Immortal, he was qualified enough to establish a holy land beyond the heaven.

To a certain extent, it could be said that he would have been truly free and not be trapped in the mortal world.

However, against everyone’s expectations he chose to stay behind to protect the human race.

In this world that was filled with gods, staying here for tens of thousands of years.

Because of this, the human race was still breathing till now.

Without this Great Emperor, there was a high chance that the human race would have already ceased to exist.

Even if they did survive, they would have scattered into countless small clans that were affiliated with other races. It was impossible for them to still retain the great region of the human race.

During this period, many gods were killed by this Great Emperor, but the price was equally huge. His main body had already died in battle and only an avatar was still struggling.

“Sword Holding Great Emperor, you’re the cultivator I admire the most on this Wanggu.”

Jade Flowing Dust’s gaze followed the vast path of sword qi under His feet and looked at the Sword Holding Palace. His gaze could penetrate the barrier and see the figure sitting cross-legged in the secret chamber.

Right now, there was only one Great Emperor in the cultivation system in the entire Wanggu World.

“However, do you really yet have the strength to make a single strike?”

His blood-red robe covered the ground and His body emitted a monstrous blood light. He stood between heaven and earth like the master of the universe.

As this sentence rang out, the aura on His body also rose shockingly.

The wind and clouds surged, and the entire sky turned blood-

red.

At this moment, the sea of fire, the night, the sun, moon, and star all dimmed. His aura became the only presence.

His steps slowly lifted, and it was as if a sea of blood erupted within His eyes. His robe extended, seeming to spread with His steps, as if to cover the entire imperial capital beneath His blood-red robe.

However, at this moment, the human race’s protective array suddenly rumbled. Intense energy formed a powerful resistance.

This was the operating principle of the human race’s array formation. It would produce different degrees of resistance according to the invasion of different strengths.

Right now, the resistance it erupted with was in the level of facing the highest level of danger. Hence, it erupted with all its strength.

An intense and piercing light suddenly flickered. A light barrier formed by the human array formation that contained countless runes and imprints formed and blocked Jade Flowing Dust.

There were also stars flickering in the array formation, a total of 49.

Those were all Suns of Dawn!

They were all the Suns of Dawn in the human race at the moment.

After experiencing countless calamities, the human race could be uttered to have used up all its trump cards.

Other than the Sword Holding Great Emperor, the Sun of Dawn was their greatest foundation.

Their energy caused the color of the sky and earth to change. However, Jade Flowing Dust laughed.

“It seems that you really don’t have the strength of a single strike.”

After saying that, He didn’t hesitate anymore. He raised His right foot and was about to step on the path of sword qi in front of Him. At the next instant, a bellow rang out from the blood-red sky.

With a tearing sound, the blood-red sky was torn apart. The Heavenly Dao of the human race, the seven-clawed golden dragon, swam in the sky and let out a roar. Its body shone with boundless light, as though a golden sun had risen in the blood-red sky.

The instant the light landed on the imperial city, the human’s Heavenly Dao swayed and headed straight for… the imperial palace!

Its target was actually the area enveloped by the shadow of the Great Emperor’s statue on the plaza in the imperial palace.

Purple smoke rose from the Great Emperor’s shadow.

It curled up and formed dense fog. A large bell appeared out of thin air and floated in the air above the square.

It was the Immortal Inquisition Bell.

It was rumored that this bell came from the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether Era. It existed between corporeal and incorporeal and could only be seen at the instant the sun rose.

It couldn’t be moved and was one with the entire Imperial City. Or to be precise, it was a part of the human race’s imperial palace and had witnessed the growth of the past human emperors.

Its usage was to prove one’s heart.

Since ancient times, there would occasionally be officials whose words were doubted by others. They could ring the Immortal Inquisition Bell to prove their true intentions.

Back then, Ning Yan had used this bell to prove his heart.
