Outside Of Time

1426 The Edge of Time

....
The melody of Heavenly Voice Welcomes the Moon rang out in the seabed.

The aura of death was approaching.

Regardless of whether it was behind or in front.

But Xu Qing, who had transformed into a golden crow, now had a resolute look in his eyes. Holding the severed hand, he sped forward with the melody of the heavenly voice.

While rushing forward, his eyes flickered as he ignited the Golden Crow Fire in his body.

In that instant, flames surged on Xu Qing’s body, blooming like a fiery flower in the depths of the sea.

It swept in all directions.

All of this made him dazzling in the depths of the sea, like a flaming arrow that instinctively attracted all eyes.

He sped towards the direction of the approaching bronze dragon carriage.

At this moment, Xu Qing’s mind was empty. All the thoughts were blocked out by him. His entire person was immersed in the Golden Crow he had transformed into and the music of the severed hand.

He was like a true Golden Crow, getting closer and closer to the bronze dragon carriage.

The silt at the bottom of the sea spread and the pitch-black seawater became even more turbid. As the flames on Xu Qing’s body burned, he became the center of attention in the turbid seawater. Hence, Transient Evil’s gaze easily landed on him.

The moment his gaze landed, the Golden Crow that Xu Qing had transformed into trembled.

He once again felt the power of the Ruler’s gaze. Or rather, he felt the weight of the authority in this gaze.

It was both erasure and severance.

Erasing the traces and severing the existence.

Under this gaze, the black flames emitted by Xu Qing’s body were extinguished and cut off.

His body trembled violently and the cracks on it spread wider.

It was also at this moment that a terrifying existence was vaguely reflected in the distant seawater.

That was a colossal giant!

Its body was tall and covered with swaying tentacles. On its shoulder, it carried a thick iron chain.

The chain extended into the distance, and in the blur, the end could be seen as a bronze dragon carriage.

This dragon carriage was tattered and covered with rust, full of the marks of time. Yet, its tall frame and intricate, majestic carvings exuded an imperial aura.

At that moment, the giant was pulling the bronze dragon carriage, striding across the seabed. With each step, it stirred up silt, causing the sea to churn and waves to spread.

Accompanying its movements was the terrifying sound of grinding teeth, echoing ominously.

The moment it landed in Xu Qing’s ears, a sense of palpitation rose in his mind. Even with his current cultivation, the pressure from the other party still caused him to instinctively tremble.

However, Xu Qing didn’t slow down at all. Instead, he moved faster.

In an instant, he broke through the torrent, appearing in front of the huge dragon-carriage giant.

Compared to the giant, the Golden Crow that Xu Qing had transformed into was insignificant.

However, the Golden Crow’s aura and the tune emitted by the severed hand… formed a special karma that couldn’t be cut off.

Hence, the giant stopped in his tracks and raised his head.

He allowed the Golden Crow that Xu Qing had transformed into to pass by it.

However, it blocked Transient Evil.

Xu Qing made the right bet.

It was just that… almost at the instant Xu Qing got close to the giant, Transient Evil retracted his gaze from Xu Qing.

“You made yourself resplendent, causing me to instinctively lock my gaze onto you, then used the giant’s body to obstruct me, trying to make my gaze that contains killing intent to interact with giant, triggering some unknown conditions and creating complications?”

“The Great Emperor’s needle of my son is also with you, right? You aren’t capable of connecting my karma.”

“A bit cunning , but not much.”

Transient Evil spoke indifferently and, with one step, was about to bypass the dragon carriage.

To him, this wasn’t difficult.

After all, no matter how astonishing this giant was when it was alive, it was only a corpse now. Even if it had some instincts, as long as they weren’t triggered, it would be fine.

However, even though this scheme was seen through by Transient Evil, how could Xu Qing only have prepared this in such a life-threatening crisis?

At the next instant, when the Golden Crow that Xu Qing had transformed into moved past the head of the corpse giant, the eye in the severed hand turned red.

A hundred ghosts appeared.

The original heavenly voice suddenly changed and became screams.

The melody was still the same, but the sound was heart-rending.

It became the sound of the night parade of a hundred ghosts.

It was also the sound that summoned the decaying moon.

In the blink of an eye, the seabed churned and a decaying moon phantom suddenly appeared in front of the giant and beside Transient Evil.

The malevolent young girl’s face on It opened its eyes and looked at this place, looking at Transient Evil!

A divine restriction that was similar to a curse rose.

It emitted vast divine might.

The giant shuddered. He lowered his head and his turbid gaze instantly locked onto Transient Evil.

Transient Evil frowned and his body paused in mid-air as a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, Xu Qing gave it his all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soul threads in his body burned as he used the light escape again.

In an instant, his figure disappeared behind the giant.

When he appeared, he was already 5,000 kilometers away.

On the sea.

Xu Qing’s figure suddenly appeared. Blood flowed out of his mouth continuously and more immortal silver flowed out of the cracks in his body. It mixed with blood and splattered into the sea together.

His footsteps were unsteady, as though he couldn’t stand properly.

The aura of death was spreading and his soul distorted and decayed.

That was the curse power of the decaying moon.

Although the curse emitted by the moon phantom wasn’t targeted at him, the aftershock still caused Xu Qing’s soul to decay.

However, Xu Qing knew the method to neutralize the curse.

Hence, the instant he appeared, he immediately controlled the severed hand and played the true Heavenly Voice Welcomes the Moon.

This melody swayed and landed in Xu Qing’s soul. Only then did the decaying intent of Xu Qing’s soul dissipate.

After that, he immediately transmitted his voice. However, at the next instant… Xu Qing’s expression became even gloomier.

“This is still within his range!”

Xu Qing mumbled and continued to escape.

His figure disappeared.

Time slowly passed.

The Forbidden Sea fluctuated.

The pitch-black surface of the sea stretched as far as the eye could see. Compared to usual, there was no difference.

Regardless of whether it was the races on the various islands or the boats and ships that traveled on the sea, everything was normal.

Cultivators cultivated, hunters hunted, and bustling sounds rang out in the dusk in many islands.

Only the afterglow slowly dissipated into the black waves.

The sky gradually darkened.

The night was approaching.

No one noticed or sensed that an intense pursuit was continuing on the Forbidden Sea.

All traces had been erased.

The erase authority from Transient Evil could make cultivators whose cultivation levels were inferior to him unable to sense it at all.

As for the supreme treasure scissors, it was left behind by the ancient emperor who had reached the peak of the Great Emperor Realm and left with the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, founding the Evil Life Holy Land.

It was a race artifact of the Evil Life Holy Land and was related to authority.

Originally held by the ancestor, it was bestowed upon Transient Evil a hundred years ago when he went into closed- door cultivation to break through to the Ruler Realm. For the past century, it floated above his head, cutting away the misfortunes of his repeated failures to break through.

Moreover, its greater significance lay in allowing Transient Evil to comprehend and thus attain the unique dominion over erase authority inherent to their race.

The moment Transient Evil succeeded, with the enhancement of the supreme treasure scissors, his erase power could reach the extreme.

Even though it was difficult to cut off a Great Emperor’s perception, it could be temporarily erased. This treasure could do it.

The range was endless.

Hence, even though Xu Qing emerged in front of others, no one noticed him. He was clearly in the same time and space but he had become invisible.

It was the same now.

From the start to the end, this pursuit was silent.

When dusk was completely buried by the night, there were only more than 3 million soul threads left in Xu Qing’s body.

He had used up everything he had.

However, the voice transmission was still ineffective.

It was as though the world was within the range of Transient Evil. He clearly knew that this was impossible, but this feeling occupied everything as night arrived and hope dimmed.

“I can only use light escape one last time…”

In the dark night, on the surface of the sea not far from the Sea Turtle Race, Xu Qing’s face was pale. At this moment, regardless of whether it was his body or soul, they had reached their limit.

However, his heart was still calm.

Even though he was being chased by a Ruler, even though he was in a life-and-death crisis, he had experienced similar life-

threatening situations several times in his life.

Although it was even more dangerous this time, the more it was like this, the more he couldn’t let negative emotions sway him.

Hence, Xu Qing took a deep breath and completely lost the humanity that had been dimming along the way, causing the absolutely rational divinity to fill his body.

His eyes grew increasingly deep as he turned his head to look behind him.

A rational analysis appeared in his mind.

He knew that even if the dragon-carriage giant could affect the Ruler, there was a high chance that it wouldn’t be able to stop him for long.

After all, be it the dragon-carriage giant or the decaying moon, they were dead things.

“There’s a high chance that this person let me escape on purpose.”

“He seems to be using this method to erase my existence.”

“Now that I look at it, he has already mostly succeeded.”

Xu Qing glanced at a sea beast slowly swimming in the seawater below.

In the past, the moment this sea beast sensed Xu Qing’s aura, it would tremble and flee. However, it was as though it didn’t sense him at all now.

“It should be the karma on my body that made him wary, so he didn’t choose to kill me directly.”

“It’s meaningless to continue fleeing.”

Xu Qing calmly pondered.

Regarding the other party’s authority, Xu Qing didn’t have all the information, so he couldn’t analyze its principles. He could only use the clues he knew to judge his actions.

A few breaths later, Xu Qing’s gaze landed at the bottom of the sea.

“He needs time to erase me, and I also need time for the outside world to indirectly sense my disappearance.”

“But in theory, he will reach his goal faster.”

“So, what I need to do now is to slow down his time and quicken my time… There’s a place that’s very suitable.”

Xu Qing calmly sensed the remaining soul threads in his body and ignited them without hesitation.

After exchanging them for one last light escape, he instantly disappeared.

The moment he appeared, he was already beside a trench in the deep sea.

However, his continuous injuries broke through the critical point at this moment.

His body swelled, and his flesh and blood seemed to want to leave. Fortunately, the immortal silver and seals connected his body like threads.

However, he no longer looked human.

His soul was also shattering.

Even with the support of the rationality of divinity, his consciousness was dimming.

However, before he fainted, he calmly issued a decree to the heavenly vine in his body.

The instant he lost his train of thought, the heavenly vine flew out and wrapped around his body, heading straight for the trench. It quickly entered the bubble and flew toward the broken pagoda.

After about eight minutes, a blurry figure walked out of the trench. As he stared at this place, a strange glint emerged in his eyes.

“Is this the kid’s last reliance?”

Transient Evil took a step forward. He emerged outside the bubble and stepped in.

The repulsion of the bubble erupted and surged toward Transient Evil.

After more than ten steps, Transient Evil halted in his tracks. He gazed at the pagoda tower that was only dozens of steps away from him through the bubble and frowned.

He couldn’t continue forward.
