Outside Of Time

Chapter 1556: Heaven of the Minor World (2)

Editor Atlas Studios

The moment it opened, the black sky turned red!

The dim land and the entire world was dyed red by this red light.

A terrifying aura descended from the sky and the terrifying pressure transformed into a storm that swept through all areas.

There was also a murmur that was like the voice of the Heavenly Dao that echoed in the ears of all living beings.

It became thunder.

After that, all living beings in this world, whether they were mortals or cultivators, whether they were in villages or cities, even in the wilderness…

The instant the voice of the Heavenly Dao rang out, they all knelt down.

Their expressions, regardless of what they had been before, turned fervent in an instant under the influence of that murmuring voice. Even though their bodies were emaciated and their lives on the brink of withering, they still gave everything they had with all their might.

Children, elders, and all beings alike acted the same way.

In this selfless and voluntary sacrifice, their life force transformed into wisps of white smoke, rising into the sky from all comers of the world, converging at the nine blood-red eyes.

It was absorbed by the nine eyes!

Xu Qing’s eyes opened at this moment. He coldly looked at all of this. The cultivation base in his body circulated and his visceral organs sent energy.

Seven great worlds rose and emitted dense spiritual energy that flowed into his eyes.

What he saw weren’t nine eyes at all!

They were nine array formations.

In every array formation, there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged!

“There’s still life. They are not dead.”

Xu Qing stared at the nine skeletons. Through their appearances, he could tell that they weren’t from the races of this world but humans!

“Uniform clothes. Is this from a faction?”

“They’re healing?”

In Xu Qing’s eyes, the vitality in this world was gathered in these nine skeletons. However, at the next instant, vitality actually spread out from the top of their heads and floated higher than Xu Qing could see…

“They’re not healing. They’re filtering the impurities and condensing the vitality!”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

At the same time, a weak aura revived on Xu Qing’s shoulder. Immediately after, the clay fox’s body slowly changed from the state of the statue, revealing some fleshy texture.

The moment She opened Her eyes, a grumbling voice entered Xu Qing’s ears. “What the hell kind of place is this, little guy? Which star ring did you come to?”

“Why is the suppression of gods here to such an astonishing extent…

“It completely rejects all the power of gods!”

“It wasn’t easy for me to wake up.”

The clay fox spoke weakly. After that, before Xu Qing could respond, the first thing She saw was the ground.

Her eyes narrowed.

“There’s a flawlessness god sealed below!”

She then swept Her gaze across the world and then looked at the nine eyes in the sky. She was stunned for a while before taking a deep breath.

“God Refinement Array!”

When Xu Qing heard this, he spoke softly.

“Senior, I told you before that the place I’m going to might not welcome gods.”

The clay fox shrunk Her head and weakly spoke.

“The suppression on me here is too great. Moreover, it’s more than unwelcoming… Using a minor world to set up the God Refinement Array and absorb the power of the god below to nourish all living beings.”

“This is the first layer of filtering. After that, it extracts life from all living beings and uses the nine cultivators to refine it. This is the second layer of filtering.”

“After experiencing these two layers of filtering, the power extracted is extremely pure and can be absorbed by others.”

“How ruthless. This is even more ruthless than your Wanggu. I just don’t know if this arrangement is just done in this place or many others…

Regarding this place, fear rose in the clay fox’s heart. After some thought, Her body swayed and transformed into an earring that hung on Xu Qing’s earlobe.

“It’s safer this way.”

The clay fox mumbled and stuck out Her little tongue from the earring, licking Xu Qing’s ear to sense Xu Qing’s yang essence aura.

It was as though this could calm Her mind a little.

Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable but when he noticed the clay fox’s state, he didn’t stop Her. At that moment, he looked at the nine eyes in the sky and pondered.

“They probably haven’t noticed your presence. Aren’t you going to take action and cut this place open?”

The clay fox asked listlessly.

Xu Qing shook his head.

“It’s simple to break through this place but with such a setup, there must be other arrangements outside. I haven’t completely recovered yet. In the face of an unknown situation, I need to be at my peak before I can make a move.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

His personality had always been calm and patient. This was a habit he had developed when he was young and hadn’t changed throughout his journey.

Now, in this unfamiliar place, he was very aware that if he didn’t take action, he should remain still. But once he did decide to act, he needed to ensure he had enough confidence to face the unknown that would follow.

“Alright, I can’t help you for the time being. The suppression here is too great. 1 need to sleep and slowly adapt.”

The clay fox spoke weakly but She felt helpless inwardly, thinking to Herself that She was really risking it, coming to such a wretched place for yang essence.

Xu Qing nodded and continued to observe.

Just like that, the night passed.

For all living beings in this world, every time the nine eyes appeared at the same time, it would be the time of offering. When dawn broke, the offering would end and what awaited them would be extreme weakness.

In order to maintain the continuous supply of lifeforce, the nine eyes didn’t absorb too much.

It left some life behind.

Making hope last for a long time, only then could it become true despair. And in the sky, eight of the eyes had vanished, leaving only one remaining. In the next few days, Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the mountain peak. When the fourth eye appeared in the sky, the injuries caused by his passage through the Primordial Sea vortex finally completely recovered and he was also at his peak.

In the next few days, Xu Qing didn’t waste any time. His focus was on comprehending the Five Elements Dao and combining it with the God Slaying Platform.

Other than that, he also divided some of his attention to comprehend the changes in space and time he had sensed in the vortex passage.

He vaguely felt that the space and time within the vortex held great significance for him in validating himself and finding his path.

Time flowed by.

The world became increasingly red. The ninth day arrived.

The ninth eye that represented terror slowly appeared in the sky.

The blood light enveloped the surroundings and all living beings offered their vitality, causing the world to turn dark.

Xu Qing stood up at the top of the mountain.

“It’s time to leave.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke and took a step toward the sky!

The moment he stepped out, the sky suddenly rumbled. Bolts of lightning erupted under Xu Qing’s feet, spreading to the sky and continuing to explode. He walked over step by step. Every step he took caused the world to tremble and lightning to rumble, causing the sky to change color as though he was competing with the sky for brilliance!

As for the nine eyes in the sky, their absorption instantly stopped.

The nine blood eyes moved in unison and looked at Xu Qing, who had suddenly appeared in their perception!
