Outside Of Time

1431 The Pressure on Transient Evil

....
“Xu Qing is missing!”

“The human race’s decree states that those who find Xu Qing will obtain the opportunity to obtain divine fire!”

“Flame Moon also issued a similar decree!”

The decree of the human race and the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, as well as their rewards, ignited an uproar among all living beings.

This wind rose from the Forbidden Sea, causing waves in the Nanhuang Continent and the Yinghuang Province. It transformed into a storm that spread to Fenghai County and even the Holy Wave Large Region. In the end, it became a hurricane that swept through the entire Wanggu Eastern Region.

In the Wanggu Eastern Region, all the large regions, counties, provinces, races, forces, sects, regardless of whether they were good or evil… waves stirred in their hearts.

They immediately issued a mission to find Xu Qing.

In an instant, figures soared into the sky from various races and forces and quickly investigated their surroundings.

There were also some people with powerful cultivation who brought the treasures of their forces to investigate even further.

There were also sects and races that almost sent out their entire force to join the search.

The Wanggu Eastern Region was in an uproar.

At every moment, countless cultivators were searching for Xu Qing.

Even the plants, mountains, rivers, the very earth, and countless divine beings went mad at this moment.

The opportunity to achieve the divine fire was a monstrous fortune in itself.

One had to understand that igniting divine fire was an extremely arduous process, with a highly complex ritual. The uncertainties involved, along with the preparation time and materials required, were incredibly variable, lengthy, and precious.

For example, Crimson Goddess’ Divine Son back then, the Great Magistrate of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, had gone through this process, but they still failed.

From this, one could see how difficult it was.

However, now, the Empress of the human race, the immortal who had transformed into a god and reached the Divine Platform in one step, had given Her word.

Her story had long spread throughout Wanggu, so if She said that She would give a divine fire opportunity, then the possibility of success would clearly be infinitely great.

As for Flame Moon’s decree, it made this opportunity even more tempting, causing countless existences to go crazy.

One Divine Platform, three flawlessness gods, and their joint divine fire opportunity… It was basically certain that the probability of success was almost a hundred percent!

Hence, roars of many divine creatures resounded everywhere as they flew out of their territories and began to search.

There were also gods at the divine fire stage who woke up from their resting places and spread out their divine auras, sweeping through the Wanggu Eastern Region.

They had no distinction between good and evil, no boundary between right and wrong; they pursued only omniscience!

As for omniscience, it required an increase in their divine status.

Finding Xu Qing represented a step forward in the path of omniscience.

Hence, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Wanggu Eastern Region erupted solely for Xu Qing on this day!

Everyone knew about it.

Such an event caused Xu Qing’s name, which was originally eye-catching, to become extremely resplendent. He was like the brightest star, shining in Wanggu.

The vast and shocking hurricane that happened in the east of Wanggu was also known by other areas of Wanggu. This caused Xu Qing’s name to spread even more. At the same time, it also allowed the entire Wanggu’s forces to truly sense… the peak authority of the east.

This authority naturally came from the human race and Flame Moon.

In the eyes of powerful races like the Empyrean Crimson Land, the Northern Fate Royal Family, and the Underworld Origin Corpse Race, searching for Xu Qing was just the surface of this matter.

The true meaning of this event was the first display of power and will after the alliance between the human race and the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven!

They were using this event to inform others of the might of the overlords of the Eastern Wanggu!

This might indeed shocked everyone.

The powerful races like the Empyrean Crimson Land sensed this intensely.

Those yellow-level holy lands that had landed in the east like the Evil Life Holy Land also sensed this.

They immediately ordered their clansmen to return and restrained themselves. They didn’t dare to complicate matters and attract trouble at this moment.

Hence, under the display of the authority and will of the human race and Flame Moon, the shocking hurricane that was activated to search for Xu Qing grew larger and larger, replacing the will of the heavens and everything.

Discussions from various factions about this matter were also part of the hurricane.

For example, at this moment, on an island of the Sea Elephant Race near the Yinghuang Province, the members of the Sea Elephant Race who were discussing this hurricane in the marketplace were a microcosm of the Eastern Wanggu Region’s discussions.

The Sea Elephant Race, although humanoid, looked very different from humans.

Their average height was about ten feet, their entire bodies were covered in fine blue scales, and their most distinctive feature was their long noses, which hung down to their chests like elephant trunks.

Additionally, their faces had many tentacles, giving them a strange and fierce appearance.

However, their temperament was much gentler compared to some more violent races. Furthermore, given their proximity to Yinghuang Province, their island served as a place for resupply.

Hence, there were many cultivators from the other races in the markets of this island.

At this moment, the marketplace was very lively and filled with endless voices. However, what rang out the most wasn’t the sounds of trading but the news about this hurricane and Xu Qing’s name.

“Xu Qing could be said to be quite famous in the Forbidden Sea even before this!”

“He came from the Nanhuang Continent and is a disciple of the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes. In the past few decades, he has become a legend step by step!”

“However, it’s still unimaginable that his disappearance would cause such a storm!”

“This matter is too crazy!”

“One person stirred the entire Eastern Wanggu!”

Amidst the many discussions, a middle-aged human cultivator wearing tight-fitting clothes and carrying a large sword on his back walked through the crowd. The cultivation base he revealed was at the perfected Foundation Building realm.

Those voices kept entering his ears. His expression was as usual as he listened and moved forward.

This person was none other than Transient Evil.

Although he had hidden all his traces and karma, he still needed some information from the outside world to know the waves caused by his actions.

Previously, although the Flame Phoenix’s investigation was fruitless, Transient Evil felt an intense sense of danger.

Hence, he came here.

As he listened, when the discussion in the market spoke of the Evil Life Holy Land, he stopped in his tracks.

“So what if it’s a holy land!”

“Although that Evil Life Holy Land did many good deeds previously, they clearly harbored malicious intentions. Moreover, they are so bold and reckless. They actually participated in Xu Qing’s disappearance.”

“Truly stupid! Don’t they know who Xu Qing is?!”

“The Flame Phoenix descended for Xu Qing. The Fenghai County army arrived to rescue their savior, the experts of the Moon Offering Region came with a domineering aura, the human army emitted deterring force, the three gods of the Flame Moon showed their might, and the two gods of the human race appeared.”

“Even the Human Empress walked over. She destroyed the defense of this holy land with a single palm strike, suppressed its ancestor, and even sealed it!”

“Have you heard? That Empress uttered that if Xu Qing dies, the holy land will be buried with him!”

“The Empress’ words were even more domineering.”

“I know what you’re talking about. ‘The sky, the earth, the rivers, vegetation, all living beings, the Heavenly Daos, and the gods, listen to my orders!ʼ”

Discussions continued and there were even more people talking passionately about it.

However, no one noticed that there were obvious fluctuations in the eyes of the middle-aged cultivator in the crowd.

“Looks like your name is Xu Qing.”

Transient Evil’s divine sense fused into the large sword on his back and he slowly spoke.

In the broken pagoda, Xu Qing calmly opened his eyes. Although he couldn’t sense the outside world, he already made some guesses after hearing Transient Evil’s words. Hence, he calmly replied.

“To be able to know my name, I think the outside world already knows about my disappearance. In that case… the Evil Life Holy Land you’re in should be in an unknown state now.”

Transient Evil didn’t speak. Regarding his holy land, while killing intent filled his heart, the pressure was also incomparably great.

When he chased after Xu Qing, although he didn’t know the other party’s identity, he could more or less sense it from those terrifying karma threads. This was also the reason why he was so careful.

He was also mentally prepared.

However… this matter actually caused such a drastic change in the Eastern Wanggu, causing him to have no choice but to admit that he had still underestimated this human named Xu Qing. The deep and terrifying connections the latter had could not be described with just terrifying.

“To be able to destroy the holy land’s array formation with a single palm strike, could this Empress’ cultivation have reached the Great Emperor realm… Also, I wonder what level the gods of the Flame Moon are at.”

“But no matter what, to be able to command the Eastern Wanggu, this matter has become even more troublesome…”

Transient Evil’s heart grew increasingly gloomy. Standing on this island, he felt inexplicably uneasy and turned to leave.

However, at this moment, he frowned and looked into the distance.

At the next instant, the entire island trembled violently.

This tremor affected the entire island. While countless planters were in shock, a deafening boom rang out and a huge head suddenly rose from the sea outside the island.

This head looked like the head of a crocodile and was the size of half the island. It was covered in pitch-black scales and emitted terrifying divinity.

The waves in the surroundings swept over with an astonishing aura.

When those members of the Sea Elephant Race saw this terrifying existence, they were all in a daze, then seemed to recall something. Their expressions changed drastically, and they instantly fell to their knees.

Their priests flew out excitedly and bowed piously.

This divine creature was the god their race had worshiped for many years.

However, for countless years, in the records of the race, this divine existence seemed to be a legend. No matter how they summoned it, there was no response at all.

It didn’t appear even during the few life-and-death crises in the history of this race that forced them to migrate to another island.

As a result, even the priests thought that the divine creature the ethnic worshiped was really a legend that was fabricated by their ancestors.

However, today, this being… actually appeared.

The moment it appeared, a vast divine sense easy-going out in all directions, echoing like a roar.

“Help me… find… Xu Qing!”

As soon as this divine sense appeared, the minds of the entire Sea Elephant Race, from top to bottom, rumbled. They instinctively responded while kneeling.

This divine creature’s divine sense swept across the island and searched before returning to the bottom of the sea where it easy-going out its divine sense again and searched.

As for Transient Evil, his figure had already blurred and dissipated the moment the divine creature appeared.

When he reappeared, he was already at the depths of the sea with an extremely gloomy expression.

The information from before made him feel that the matter was troublesome. After witnessing the hunt of the divine creature with his own eyes, he understood that this was definitely not an exception.

Hence, a sentence he had heard from the Sea Elephant Race surfaced in his mind.

“The sky, the earth, the rivers, vegetation, all living beings, all living beings, the heavenly law, and the gods, listen to my orders!”

Transient Evil fell silent. However, at the next instant, his eyes revealed a cold glint and determination.

“Then let’s see how strong your determination to find Xu Qing is, and whether you truly have the power to command all living beings!”
