Outside Of Time

Chapter 1557: God Refining Spirit Mine

Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment they looked over, the pupils of the nine huge blood eyes suddenly constricted.

The skeletons, which were sitting cross-legged inside those eyes to refine the absorbed spiritual energy, also trembled.

Clearly, Xu Qing’s appearance was extremely unexpected to these nine skeletons.

They didn’t sense him at all before, and only sensed him when he walked out.

The meaning behind this caused the hearts of the skeleton cultivators sitting cross-legged in the nine eyes to stir.

“Excuse me.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

“I want to leave this place. I wonder if you can make way.”

It was naturally good if he could leave without a fight.

However, Xu Qing’s words clearly weren’t of much use.

The nine blood-red eyes were filled with intense hostility.

In the eyes of the nine cultivators, although they didn’t know how this person who suddenly appeared entered their clan’s minor world, they couldn’t allow anything to happen here.

Hence, killing intent rose in them. Without any hesitation, they immediately tried to spread the news.

However… Xu Qing had prepared for a long time before choosing to appear, so he was naturally fully prepared.

He knew that these nine eyes were strange but it wasn’t too difficult to break through them. In fact, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to deal with the cultivators in these nine eyes as well.

What he really had to be wary of was the interference outside this world.

Xu Qing believed that, based on the layout of this small world, there was likely a guardian outside of this world.

If they intervened while he was breaking through the world, it could easily lead to unexpected complications. Therefore, the best approach was to ensure a smooth exit. Once he had successfully exited and the guardian detected his presence, he would find it much easier to handle the situation.

Hence, as he stepped into the sky, he suddenly waved his right hand. At the end of the sky, above the nine eyes, the void distorted and the world rumbled. A huge pair of scissors suddenly appeared.

This pair of scissors was so large that it seemed to be able to replace the sky. The moment it appeared, the aura of a Great Emperor-treasure swept in all directions like a storm.

It was a Great Emperor treasure that could cut through all traces and karma.

After it appeared, it ruthlessly snipped.

There was clearly no sound but in the ears of all living beings and the perception of the cultivators in the nine eyes, there was a cracking sound that entered their souls and shook them endlessly.

The information they transmitted to the outside world was directly cut off at this moment!

It wasn’t over.

At the next moment, the Great Emperor Needle shone and stitched up the karma that had been cut, connecting the scenes Xu Qing had seen nine days ago.

As such…

On one hand, there was no longer any information going out or fluctuations spreading out. To a certain extent, the event here was hidden and isolated.

On the other hand, with the Great Emperor Needle stitching up the karma, everything was covered.

After this was done, unless someone fused their divine sense into this world, they wouldn’t be able to sense any abnormalities in this place for some time.

After doing this, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes as he walked up to the sky step by step.

“Since communication is impossible, then…”

Xu Qing took the last step.

With this step, he stepped into the void and the sky instantly rumbled. Lightning rose from under his feet and pounced at the nine eyes like countless red snakes.

The nine eyes shook and red light flashed from them. At the same time, the nine cultivators inside quickly raised their hands. All of them had solemn expressions. They could tell that the two Great Emperor treasures were extraordinary and also sensed that the information was isolated.

Hence, all of them made up their minds and immediately performed hand seals.

At the next instant, the nine eyes shone with resplendent red light, activating a powerful protective array formation. At the same time, the nine cultivators also rapidly changed from their withered states. They used the life force they absorbed to recover at full speed.

It seemed that for them, the sudden crisis at that moment forced them to race against time, as it was their only chance for survival.

Xu Qing was expressionless. No matter what cultivation level those nine cultivators had, as long as they hadn’t reached the Ruler realm, it was useless even if they revived.

“This is also an opportunity to test my immortal body.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his right hand, pointing lightly at the first eye in the sky.

In the next moment, the golden power from his lungs erupted violently with his breath, sweeping across all directions and instantly permeating the entire minor world.

It affected all the metals, all the weapons, and all those in this realm related to the element of metal. In the blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth roared…

At that moment, the element of metal in this minor world was replaced!

Xu Qing’s extreme metal power, with its formidable presence, became the dominant Dao of this world!

He could sense that at this moment, he could control the metal element of this world with a thought.

His gaze flashed…

In the next instant, the metal element of this world erupted simultaneously, gathering from the earth, the void, and the heavens. It formed a torrent, becoming a vast finger composed of metal power.

The finger pointed at the first eye in the sky.

With just a light touch, the array formation that was crazily activating shattered, including the eye and the cultivator who was recovering inside.

He couldn’t escape at all.

A rumbling sound echoed as the eye collapsed and fell from the sky.

The cultivator inside screamed miserably. Under the envelopment of the metal power of this world, his body and soul were destroyed!

The other cultivators in the eight eyes were all horrified, and used all their strength to recover.

“Is this the extreme immortal?”

Xu Qing mumbled. At that moment, he had a strong feeling that the moment he replaced the metal Dao of this world, he seemed to have transformed into the Heavenly Dao here.

In the next breath, he softly spat out a word.

“Wood.”

The power of the wood in his liver followed Xu Qing’s voice and instantly spread throughout the entire minor world.

All the vegetation, all wood-element cultivators, and all materials related to wood in this world trembled.

After that, the world’s original wood Dao was replaced!

A vast finger formed from extreme wood gathered from the void. It carried dense vitality and endless horror as it landed on the second eye.

A scene that shocked all living beings in this world appeared.

Another one of the nine eyes fell.

The color of the world changed and the wind surged. Xu Qing’s voice became a tide and was the only sound in this world.

“Water.”

The water elemental power from his kidneys replaced the water element of this world, rising into the sky, turning into rain, rivers, and oceans, becoming the foundation of all living things.

This world was too small, and after its Heavenly Dao was replaced by Xu Qing, he could control all beings with a single thought.

“Fire.”

The heartbeat of the heart resonated like thunder, and the fire erupted within this thunder, shining before the eyes of all beings, igniting all flames.

Finally…

“Earth.”

The ground rumbled, as though all the lands in this minor world had their own will at this moment. They emitted anger that had been suppressed for countless years.

The three fingers they transformed into also soared into the sky.

Another three eyes collapsed!

Three more cultivators died!

In that moment, the power of the Five Elements was entirely controlled by Xu Qing, replaced by him, and transformed into the Heavenly Dao.

In the remaining four blood eyes, the four cultivators recovered from their withered state. All of them stood up in shock and grabbed at the huge eyes.

The four huge eyes instantly shrunk. After they were each pressed to their foreheads, under their enhancement, a powerful aura instantly erupted from their bodies.

Soul Accumulation Seven Worlds!

At that moment, their eyes were gloomy and intense fear rose in their hearts. One of them stared at Xu Qing and suddenly spoke.

“No matter what Sir’s purpose for appearing here is, if you want to leave, there is only one way.”

“That is, we must go out and open the path out of this world for you from the outside.”

“If you don’t believe me, one of the four of us can go out and do it.”

“We, at our current level of cultivation, do not need to resort to fighting and killing. Does this arrangement suit you?”

As the person spoke, the other three showed no abnormal expressions. They were all acutely aware that unless the person before them had an extraordinary background, intruding into their clan’s secret land would result in certain death.

Now that they were facing a situation that they weren’t confident in, they didn’t want to lose their lives.

Therefore, they had to go out immediately and contact the elder of the secret land outside.

As long as the elder made a move, the person in front of them would definitely die.

Hence, they nodded and spoke.

“What happened before was all a misunderstanding.”

“It’s also us who overreacted.”

As they spoke, the four of them slowly retreated with vigilance in their hearts.

Hearing their words, Xu Qing looked at the four of them and shook his head.

He raised his right hand.

Immediately, the world shook and rumbled. In the sky, Xu Qing raised his hand and grabbed at the four cultivators.

The expressions of these four cultivators changed and their cultivation bases erupted, wanting to resist.

However, these five fingers were the Heavenly Daos formed by the five elements of this minor world and contained the will of this world. As Xu Qing’s killing intent spread out, killing intent erupted from the heaven of this world.

Wherever those fingers passed, the space would collapse.

No matter how the four cultivators struggled or counterattacked, it was useless. At the next instant… as the five fingers of the Heavenly Daos burst forth, heart-rending sounds echoed.

The four cultivators turned into blood and flesh that scattered everywhere.

“I trust myself more.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke and looked at the sky. He then clenched his right hand.

Immediately, a shocking sword energy erupted from Xu Qing’s body, forming the Emperor Sword. After he held it in his hand, he mobilized the power of the five elements here and circulated the might of the Heavenly Daos of this world to augment the Emperor Sword.

He slashed at the sky!

Sword energy overflowed into the sky, sword light destroyed the void, and sword intent shattered the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the void shattered and the sky rumbled. A huge crack was forcefully torn open in the sky, revealing the sky outside!

At this moment, all the living beings in this minor world felt as though their minds were rumbling with countless thunderbolts. They raised their heads in a daze and looked at the rift in the sky.

For the vast majority of them, this was a subversive and explosive scene.

There was another sky outside the sky.

“Then what are we…”

Countless people watched this scene in confusion and shock. As they mumbled, Xu Qing, who was in the air, took a step forward.

As the sky rumbled and the world trembled, Xu Qing had already arrived before the rift.

He lowered his head and glanced at this minor world. After that, he took a step into the rift. When he reappeared… he found himself in a strange realm.

A massive dome, like a canopy, covered the area.

This place didn’t have the slightest hint of the anomalous substances of gods. There was only dense spiritual energy.

Through this dome, the outer sky could be seen, bathed in a reddish light that flowed like the aurora, resembling a long river.

As for the land beneath the dome, it was a vast swamp, as if it had formed from dried-up seawater.

Countless bubbles protruded from the swamp, and Xu Qing’s mind jolted as he noticed that these bubbles were, in fact, minor worlds themselves.

And gods were being suppressed in these minor worlds.

This place seemed to be a prison for gods!

This scene caused Xu Qing’s breathing to quicken slightly. At the same time, he also saw countless threads rising from these minor worlds. They were like smoke that curled into the air and fused into the center of the dome.

There was a vortex there that sucked everything away.

“This is a prison for gods… The true sky is beyond the dome.”

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He finally had a rough judgment of his current location. After that, he retracted his gaze and looked into the distance.

Almost at the instant he looked over, the aura of a Ruler erupted at the end of his vision. After that, an ear-piercing sound spread in all directions.

A Ruler was approaching.

A cold voice filled with intense killing intent echoed in this place.

“Interesting.”

“An unusual jailbreak has occurred in the clan’s spirit mine that I am overseeing..”
