Outside Of Time

Chapter 1537: Entering the Residence and Becoming an External Evil

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The flesh sky was like a shattered mirror with countless cracks.

In each fragment, there was an independent world.

In one of the fragments, the Empress, the Demon Feather Great Emperor, and the Great Immortal Master of the East Demon Feather were fighting.

As for the various Rulers who had been drained into skeletons, they were now on the verge of death, each located within different fragments.

As for the fragment where Nether Flame’s main body and Xu Qing were, it was located in the center.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. It was as though he had lost all perception of the outside world and wasn’t moving at all.

In front of him stood the incomplete and eerily formed Nether Flame, half composed of flesh and half of blood threads.

At that moment, the greed and anticipation on Nether Flame’s face turned sinister.

His right hand penetrated the sarcoma and pressed down on the top of Xu Qing’s head. A terrifying aura suddenly rushed into Xu Qing’s body.

A hoarse voice echoed through the world.

“I have two avatars. One of them is the Great Immortal Master of the East Demon Feather, and the other is… the Great Immortal Master of the West Demon Feather.”

“You have immortal arts, but you don’t know that the immortal arts of the Demon Feather Holy Land were originally passed down by me.”

“So, little fellow, I know that you are implicated by karma and I know that you have a powerful restriction on you. However, my possession of your body isn’t a simple invasion or crude devouring, but…”

“Immortal art, Six Thieves Delusions!”

Nether Flame’s voice rose and fell. Accompanied by his aura, what gushed into the top of Xu Qing’s head were countless threads of seven emotions and six desires. They spread out and enveloped Xu Qing’s entire body, entering every magic aperture.

It fluctuated Xu Qing’s seven emotions and Xu Qing’s six desires that came from the same source, causing his body to become a hotbed.

Immediately after…

“Immortal art, Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal!”

When the miserly dog entered, one lost treasures; when the greedy dog entered, one was bound; when the deluded dog entered, one fell into the cycle of life and death; when the evil dog entered, one fell into hell; when the precipice dog entered, one forever lost human form.

Although this art had become a bizarre spell that was similar to killing spells, in reality, the true purpose of it being created back then…

It was to possess another body!

Hence, at the next instant, Nether Flame’s memories became like dogs that entered Xu Qing’s house and domineeringly covered Xu Qing’s memories, forming countless white hairs that gathered into a door.

This door was the entrance to the residence!

As the door in Xu Qing’s body opened, it also formed in the Nether Flame’s body.

They were connected at the same time!

Nether Flame’s soul transformed into a bizarre white eye. It followed the door that appeared in his body and rushed out, entering the opened door in Xu Qing’s body.

The external evil invaded and spun into a vortex.

“Insatiable desires are known as greed; when the greedy dog enters, one is bound.”

“Creating false standards is delusion; when the deluded dog enters, one falls into the cycle of life and death.”

The power of separation erupted.

The terrifying soul of Nether Flame forcefully and domineeringly stripped away Xu Qing’s soul that was already rejected by his body.

This caused Xu Qing’s body to be a body and his soul to be a soul. They were no longer connected.

After that, a large white mouth appeared in the vortex.

“Winning arguments through deceit is evil; when the evil dog enters, one falls into hell.”

It swallowed fiercely.

What it devoured was the soul!

At this critical moment, Xu Qing’s soul’s closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing a hint of determination and madness.

From the very beginning, when faced with a life-or-death situation, Xu Qing was acutely aware that under the overwhelming power of Nether Flame, he stood no chance of resisting the malevolence and attempted possession.

No matter what, a direct counterattack was meaningless.

Hence, he didn’t choose to resist. In fact, he had even taken the initiative to absorb the essence liquid in the sarcoma and nourish his body, allowing it to recover more and more completely.

From there, his body’s rejection of his soul continued to rise until it reached the extreme!

This was his goal!

However, during this process, he had to endure the pain of his soul being crushed.

The protection of the fate carving knife became the main reliance.

Now, Nether Flame’s Five Dogs Immortal Art had already caused his body to strongly reject his soul. It broke through the limit and reached an unprecedented level.

It was like they were chasing his soul away.

To Xu Qing, this was the most important chance of survival!

Hence…

“Five dogs, Sheltering immortal!”

The immortal art also erupted in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

He didn’t stop Nether Flame’s possession and didn’t resist at all.

It was as though this body wasn’t his and he… gave up on it without hesitation!

He then used the help of Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal’s possession effect and his body’s endless rejection of his soul.

The former was a pulling force, while the latter was a pushing force.

After the two sides fused, they augmented each other, causing Xu Qing’s soul to rush out before it was devoured.

Following the door opened by Nether Flame…

Giving up his body!

The instant the other party’s soul possessed him, he didn’t hesitate to burn his soul or draw the fate totem. He even activated the restrictions left behind by his master and other arrangements.

He paid an endless price and stepped into the possession door opened by Nether Flame the instant his soul was about to collapse.

With one step, he left his body.

He followed the passageway… and took a step forward, entering the main body that Nether Flame had abandoned!

He stepped through the opened door in Nether Flame’s body!

He had become a greedy dog of the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal.

Entering the residence and becoming an external evil!

He became the white eye beyond the door in Nether Flame’s body.

He swapped bodies with Nether Flame!

If it was any other time, Xu Qing wouldn’t be able to do it.

But now, the other party’s possession attempt had opened a path.

The other party’s abandonment became the cause.

As for Xu Qing’s five dogs, they became a pulling force.

The repulsion from his body became a pushing force.

Hence, this scene that was extremely rare… became reality at this instant.

Of course, the most important thing was the arrangements Xu Qing had set up beforehand!

Xu Qing’s actions, though causing a sense of surprise for Nether Flame, were actually intended to obstruct the process.

However, the sudden explosion of Xu Qing’s physical body’s restrictions, along with the unexpected malice emanating from behind, caused instability in the takeover attempt, leading Nether Flame to momentarily reconsider.

Killing Xu Qing wasn’t the main point.

Completing the last step of Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal and controlling this body was the most important thing now.

Compared to this matter, everything else was secondary.

As for the body he had abandoned…

“That physical body is incomplete and lacks the part of the Demon Feather. I relied on my soul to barely support and balance it. Now that my soul has left, it’s already at the end of its rope. It won’t be long before it collapses.”

Nether Flame sneered and didn’t bother with it. At this moment, his soul completely erupted, instantly forming the fifth intent of the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal.

It was a white face skin.

As it appeared, the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal Art was completed, forming a face.

Its white hair fluttered in the wind and it had a bizarre expression that was neither quite crying nor quite smiling.

Its might suppressed the restraints, and its power enveloped what was behind.

Achieving balance.

“Refusing to accept the truth and obstinately rejecting the three paths to liberation is the precipice; when the precipice dog enters, one forever loses human form.”

In the sarcoma, ‘Xu Qing’, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly muttered.

As he said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

Although he still looked like Xu Qing, the vicissitudes in his eyes and his terrifying aura caused his entire aura to undergo a drastic change.

His physical strength was also rising.

He released the power of a Ruler first before quickly displaying the power of a Great Emperor.

Sensing this feeling of perfection, Nether Flame revealed a look of admiration.

“Kid, this body was really wasted on you previously. Your soul can’t support this body to erupt with its might.”

At the same time, the body he had abandoned outside the sarcoma suddenly trembled and staggered back. Moreover, it was constantly withering and collapsing.

It was as though its inner strength couldn’t support the balance of this body.

At that moment, its eyes barely opened, revealing Xu Qing’s gaze.

Nether Flame shook his head and swept his gaze over as though he was looking at an ant. He was about to raise his right hand.

However, at this moment…

In the body he had possessed, the restriction power he had suppressed with the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal earlier had reached a critical point due to the increasing strength of the soul.

The balance was broken.

It erupted again!

There were two restrictions left behind by Old Master Seventh back then.

One was to restrict Rulers, and the other was to restrict Great Emperors.

The former was balanced by Nether Flame’s Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal, but now… the second restriction was triggered.

In an instant, countless silver threads appeared on the body, forming numerous intricate patterns. These markings flowed like water, intertwining and constantly crossing each other.

In a split second, the silver threads formed a large net that covered the entire body. The threads of the net transcended the rules and shone with a dazzling silver light, with all the markings radiating brilliantly.

Under the all-out eruption, the restriction tried to suppress the rising strength of the body.

This was the protection Old Master Seventh had arranged on Xu Qing back then.

Seeing this, Nether Flame’s eyes revealed a dark glint and he frowned slightly. However, he wasn’t too surprised.

After all, it was impossible for that junior to complete such a body himself. Clearly, he had the help of an almighty figure. In that case, it was normal for them to leave some backup plans.

“The person who left this restriction seal isn’t simple.”

Nether Flame narrowed his eyes and pressed his right hand on his forehead. At the next moment, a black lotus appeared under him. As it spun rapidly, the essence in the sarcoma rapidly decreased and was absorbed by him.

At the same time, a black lotus bloomed, with iron chains like flower stamens dancing out from within. Under his control, these chains wrapped around his body.

It formed a suppression.

“Although I can’t erase this restriction immediately, 1 can still balance it out.”

“In the future, I only need some time to erase it!”

“So, little fellow, what else did you leave on this body? The candle on your back?”

Nether Flame calmly spoke.

A loud bang rang out from behind him. The candle totem of the candle instantly burned, illuminating the world behind Nether Flame.

“I’ve studied this candle longer than you.”

Nether Flame waved his hand and directly cut off a portion of his soul, separating it and enveloping the candle totem on his back, forming a lantern cover.

“By doing this, not only can 1 restrict it, but I can also borrow its strength to a certain extent.”

“Now, little fellow, do you have any other arrangements?”

Nether Flame smiled slightly.

However, the instant he said this, before Xu Qing could respond, an earth-shattering roar rose into the sky from the transparent sea below.

“Old thing, if you want to harm my junior brother, you have to ask me first!”

The moment the sound appeared, the transparent sea directly boiled. Large waves rumbled, forming a tsunami that rumbled and rolled in all directions.

At this moment, the entire transparent sea seemed to be dyed blue!

Countless blue worms rushed out of the sea amidst the tsunami.

There were so many of them that it was earth-shattering.

They gathered together and formed a large blue hand that seemed to be able to hold the sky.. It held an ancient bone cauldron and headed straight for Nether Flame!
