Outside Of Time

Chapter 1561: Killing the Ruler, One Strike Kill! (2)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Due to these, Xu Qing instantly made a decision.

Hence, the target of the Emperor Sword’s eruption wasn’t the middle-aged Ruler but to make use of this short opportunity to attack the ground!

To be precise, it blasted toward those… bubble worlds on the ground!

Since the other party prioritized stability, Xu Qing was going to mess up the other party’s mind first.

Only when the heart is unsettled will there be a fatal flaw that can be exploited.

For a guardian, the method of chaos was naturally the large-scale collapse of the thing they were guarding.

Hence, Xu Qing’s sword strike seemed to be targeting the Ruler but his true goal was most of the small bubble worlds here.

At that moment, the sword energy landed and the ground collapsed. A large number of small bubble worlds seemed to have been sliced apart.

One after another, they exploded into pieces!

The skies of those minor worlds collapsed. The refiners who didn’t have time to recover in time died in their slumbering state.

Without the world boundary, all the living beings in these minor worlds seemed to have woken up from a dream. While all of them were at a loss and shocked, it also caused chaos in this god prison.

As a result, the amount of spiritual energy extracted was greatly reduced.

At this moment, the vortex that was absorbing spiritual energy in the sky couldn’t absorb anything.

“How dare you!!”

This scene finally caused the middle-aged Ruler’s mind to rumble. His expression changed drastically and he instinctively looked at the vortex in fear.

He wanted to stop Xu Qing but it was too late.

Originally, such a situation wouldn’t have happened under his control. Everything was an opportunity formed by the change in his cognition earlier.

Right now, seeing that the spirit mine had collapsed and the spiritual energy absorbed by the vortex had decreased greatly, his heart couldn’t help but fluctuate intensely.

Such a drastic change had happened in the spirit mine he was guarding. The killing intent in his eyes instantly became even more intense. As he let out a loud shout, the dao marks in his eyes circulated again.

His Dao marks were special and terrifying in power, but due to his cultivation level, each use came at a cost. Using them on a larger scale or more profound level would incur an astonishing price.

Hence, unless it was absolutely necessary, he wasn’t willing to use them frequently.

But now, he had no choice.

He raised his right hand and pressed down on the ground below.

Immediately, the power of his authority descended, becoming a resistance, then thickening into a protective shield, and ultimately transforming into a form of suppression.

It enveloped all the collapsing spirit mines, slowing their collapse, and continued to envelop them to reduce damage and create a chance for recovery. As this happened, his body grew even more emaciated, and his eyes shone with a cold gleam.

At this moment, he couldn’t afford to continue with caution, because his reliance on the authority to suppress the spirit mines couldn’t last much longer.

He had to quickly end the battle and repair those minor worlds. Otherwise, if the vortex above continued to deplete for an extended period, he would be unable to bear the consequences.

Hence, he gritted his teeth fiercely and pointed at Xu Qing, disregarding the price of his authority.

His authority activated once again.

Xu Qing’s body trembled. He felt suffocated.

All the spiritual energy and air around him were siphoned away in an instant, creating a pressurized environment. Even inside his body, this was happening.

Red, swollen bumps erupted on his skin, making him look quite horrifying.

They seemed like they would erupt at any moment.

However, Xu Qing didn’t panic.

‘The opportunity I want is almost here.’

Xu Qing glanced at the middle-aged Ruler and suddenly raised his right hand. The Extreme Space Dao in his body circulated explosively.

During those days in the minor world, Xu Qing had been recalling the vortex passage he had seen when passing through the Primordial Sea. Other people might not be able to comprehend anything about the use of space through this.

However, for him, who already possessed the power of space, the scene in the vortex was like a master imparting Dao Arts.

It was telling him how to use space.

Hence, at the next instant, as the Extreme Space Dao in Xu Qing’s body spread out, the area around him immediately distorted, stretching and expanding into what seemed to be an infinite expanse.

Next was cutting and isolation!

The space within the cutting zone was severed, and the authority of the air was isolated, creating a boundary within a hundred-feet radius around Xu Qing.

It had become a grid-like confinement.

This grid existed independently, controlled by Xu Qing’s Extreme Space Path.

They multiplied rapidly, numbering a hundred in a moment, densely and irregularly enclosing Xu Qing within.

Even as all the air was being extracted, each additional layer of the grids equated to an additional world.

Finally, it all reversed.

Xu Qing stared at the middle-aged Ruler. At the next instant, the sound of a mirror shattering echoed in all directions.

“Your air authority has an explosive might, but no matter how it explodes, it’s still inferior to the collapse of space.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

In that instant, the hundred grids shattered. Under the series of sounds, a spatial storm swept through countless spatial fragments and rose around Xu Qing.

A portion of it swept in all directions, causing the Ruler’s efforts to save the spirit mines to be ineffective. This caused his anxiety, panic, and anger to intensify.

A portion of them headed straight for the Ruler.

This scene caused the Dao mark light in the middle-aged Ruler’s eyes to flicker intensely.

“It’s actually the Dao of Space!”

His mind shook, and he immediately pointed at the sky.

The world experienced a sensation of cold and warmth!

This was the temperature formed by the air, and its intertwining created a roaring wind.

The wind howled, even producing thunderstorms. Mixed together, it resembled the wrath of heaven, striking against the spatial storm.

A deafening sound erupted.

After their collision, the world fell into chaos, with space cracking and the power of the heavens intertwining, resulting in chaos and blurriness.

In this blur, the wind howled.

Blood flowed out of the corner of the middle-aged Ruler’s mouth. After he activated his authority to such an extent, the price had finally arrived. However, the killing intent in his eyes didn’t decrease at all.

Amidst the strong wind, Xu Qing didn’t feel good either. His flesh and skin were being peeled off and his body was badly mangled.

However, his eyes were still sharp.

At this critical moment, the Extreme Time Dao in his body suddenly erupted.

The power of time rose from his body, transforming into a vast sundial that locked onto the Ruler and reversed time, freezing the scene of blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth earlier!

After that, the killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes erupted explosively. In order to ensure a one-hit kill, he raised his right hand. The power of Fishing the Moon From the Well also activated at this moment.

The sky transformed into the surface of a well, and the world began to ripple like water.

The middle-aged Ruler stood on the surface of the water. His possessions including all of his spells were reflected in the water.

The Sundial fixed his body in one place.

The well fixed his soul.

Coupled with the chaos caused by Xu Qing’s previous attack…

At this moment, the opportunity Xu Qing had been waiting for finally arrived!

At the next instant, an earth-shattering sword energy that shook the Ruler rushed out from his body.

That was Ninth Grandpa’s sword energy that could kill Rulers.

As soon as this sword appeared, the sky lost color and the ground rumbled. Many of the swords in the minor worlds in this god prison were trembling and resonating.

They erupted in unison and rushed out of the shattered world boundaries. They gathered outside and filled the void here, occupying all the areas. Finally, they fused into Ninth Grandpa’s sword energy, causing it to shine and increase its strength.

It continued to accumulate strength.

The killing power contained in the sword energy was also accumulating strength.

After accumulating strength for a few breaths, this world-shaking killing intent suddenly erupted. At this moment, the world shone and only the sword was supreme.

The sky descended, the sword descended, and the killing intent descended—all aimed at the middle-aged Ruler.

With an overpowering force, it dominantly replaced everything in the middle-aged Ruler’s sight and perception.

There was no way to dodge, no way to escape, and no way to block it!

When the sword energy landed, his body and soul collapsed!

One-strike kill!!
