Outside Of Time

Chapter 1693 It Really Is Here?

The moment the rift tore open, a storm erupted from within and swept in all directions.

It was like an invisible hand was creating ripples.

This caused the void where the Chaotic Sky Palace was located to tremble intensely.

As for the cultivators who descended, every one of them was filled with a baleful aura. Moreover, the origin essences on them were seeping out to varying degrees.

Clearly, Xu Qing wasnʼt the only one who had gained a lot during this period. The other cultivators had also been nourishing themselves.

Their cultivation bases were slightly better than when they first arrived here. It was the same for the increase in overall combat strength.

This was especially so for Xie Lingzi and Zhou Zhengli. These two people were originally at the peak of the Ruler realm. Now, they were only a breath away from breaking durough.

Although Li Mengtu was not close to their level, he was much stronger than before.

Qianjun and Piyi were also in high spirits.

However, the one who improved the most was Yuanshan Su.

It was unclear where she had ventured this time, but her current aura revealed that her immortal embryo had grown significantly more profound.

All of this allowed these cultivators to possess the power to stir up the wind and clouds.

Moreover, as ascenders of this world, all of them had fought their way out from countless competitions. Hence, even when alone, they were like wolves and didnʼt lack powerful methods.

After they arrived, the aura on their bodies fluctuated and the ruthlessness in their eyes was obvious.

No one would dare underestimate them,

They all looked at the Chaotic Sky Race members and... the middle-aged cultivator at the peak of the Quasi Immortal Realm!

This scene caused the hearts of all the members of the Chaotic Sky Race to rumble. All of them felt uneasy and an intense sense of uneasiness continued to rise.

Even the Chaotic Sky Emperorʼs expression was ugly. This was the situation he didnʼt want to encounter the most.

Generally speaking, the probability of encountering such a thing was very small, almost zero.

In reality, that was indeed the case. For the Chaotic Sky Royal Family, who had the exemption token, they werenʼt worried about the arrival of the Material Procurers. This was because the Material Procurers would at most plunder in the outside world and wouldnʼt implicate their race.

This was also the reason why this Chaotic Sky Emperor was fearless previously. However, he could have never predicted that Xu Qing had the Immortal Lordʼs mission!

This was the key.

Moreover... his combat strength was also astonishing. He wasnʼt afraid even when the envoy appeared!

In fact, he almost killed the envoy just earlier!

”Moreover, each of those who have descended, whether itʼs their aura or the impression they give me, feels like a heavenʼs chosen... This group of Material Procurers is by no means ordinary!”

This thought was intense in the Chaotic Sky Emperorʼs mind.

The middle-aged cultivator at the peak of the Quasi Immortal Realm sighed inwardly.

From the moment he recognized Xu Qing; he already understood the situation. Moreover, the difference in the identities allowed him to have more real-time information about the outside world than the Chaotic Sky Emperor. Hence, he understood that not all ascenders became Material Procurers.

In Heavenʼs Beyonds, many human cultivators had already been living there long before. Their numbers were much greater than those of the ascenders, and they made up the majority of the lower-tier workforce in various divisions. Generally speaking, within small squads like this one, ascenders accounted for, at most, only one-tenth of the members. Even that was often due to subsequent replacements after multiple rounds of climination.

After all, ascenders were different.

Hence, in the past, most ascenders were deliberately scattered across different divisions, assigned to varied duties.

It was very rare for them to arrange for everyone to be in the same place. Thus, Xu Qingʼs squad was, in fact, the only team within the entire Material Procurement Division composed entirely of ascenders from the same batch. The middle-aged cultivator sighed inwardly as he observed the descending figures.

This was also the reason why he had wanted to attack immediately and forcefully sought the Chaotic Skyʼs help.

He knew that he couldnʼt delay. It was best to end the battle quickly. This was because although he had a strong background, he was well aware of one undeniable truth: every ascender had their own extraordinary background. Those without it before ascension would inevitably acquire it after arriving in Heavenʼs Beyond, through connections, opportunities, and alliances. Therefore, although he was a Quasi Immortal and his master was a Lower Immortal, he was very clear that he... could provoke a few of them and kill a few for the Dao, but if he killed all of them... even his master wouldnʼt be able to bear the consequences!

Hence, at this moment, he retreated and returned to the outside of the palace. He took a step back, wanting to borrow the teleportation array here to leave this place.

He could no longer take care of the matters here.

As for the contest of Dao... He sighed in his heart and knew that he wouldnʼt be able to fight for it in the short term.

Moreover, the other crucial reason that led him to choose an immediate retreat was his own self-assessment of the situation. The current circumstances were overwhelmingly unfavorable to him, and he knew it well. He had no confidence in suppressing this group through sheer force.

Moreover, if he was not careful, he might die!

Hence, he didnʼt hesitate in retreating.

Xu Qing wasnʼt surprised by this personʼs actions.

Unless he was a fool, it was impossible for him not to choose to retreat when faced with the appearance of these people,

This was especially so after he had narrowly escaped death earlier.

”However, you want to leave just like that?”

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qingʼs eyes. He then lifted his right hand and pointed.

”Send him on his way!”

Zhou Zhengliʼs aura immediately erupted as he let out a sharp cry.

”I respect the decree!”

At the next instant, Li Mengtu also attacked without hesitation.

Xie Lingzi blinked. He knew Xu Qingʼs methods. This situation didnʼt affect his life or death, so he also chose to attack.

Yuanshan Su didnʼt hesitate and moved forward.

Also, this matter originally started due to Star Ring, so he naturally attacked with all his might.

When Qianjun and Piyi saw this, based on their gratitude to Star Ring and their reverence for Xu Qing, they immediately attacked as well.

As a result, despite the varied emotions and thoughts swirling in the minds of the other descendents, the sheer weight of numbers gave them confidence. At this moment, each of them unleashed their cultivation bases with a resounding surge, manifesting their respective trump cards. The collective force was like a tidal wave, surging forward with overwhelming pressure. It headed toward the Chaotic Sky Palace with an avalanche.

It destroyed everything along the way. No matter how good the material of the palace was, it was ultimately unable to resist. In an instant, the palace collapsed and shattered, turning into dust that scattered in the space.

It revealed the entrance to the Chaotic Sky Raceʼs territory and the middle-aged cultivator who had already activated the teleportation array.

His blurry face seemed to have changed drastically as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His form contorted unnaturally due to the teleportation being thrown into chaos.

He could only rely on his masterʼs mark to forcefully teleport despite being injured.

In an instant, he disappeared.

Xu Qing coldly looked at all of this but he didnʼt have any regrets.

If he left, so be it.

After all, he was a peak-level Quasi Immortal.

”The next time we meet, weʼll just kill him.”

Xu Qingʼs gaze swept over and landed on the Chaotic Sky Emperor,

The Material Procurers behind also looked over.

Being stared at by these people, the Chaotic Sky Emperorʼs heart trembled.

Without any hesitation, he immediately discarded all pretenses and knelt before Xu Qing,

He lifted the Fourth True Monarchʼs relic with both hands and spoke loudly.

”The lower race is at fault. I am willing to offer this item to extinguish the fire of the higher race.”

The Chaotic Sky Emperor was anxious but there was nothing he could do. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Xu Qing had already lifted his hand. Immediately, the Heavenʼs Law soil that the Chaotic Sky Emperor lifted high flew into Xu Qingʼs palm.

After playing with it, Xu Qing divided it in half and sent a portion to Star Ring then spoke calmly.

”Thank you all for your assistance. I have a task from my Immortal Lord, to search for the nine-colored ice that can extinguish the flames of the Lord God. Upon coming to this clan, I discovered there may be a connection.

”Iʼll have to trouble everyone to investigate on my behalf.”

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, everyoneʼs eyes instantly lit up. They naturally understood the meaning in his words. Hence, all of them immediately became excited and agreed one after another, heading straight for the entrance of the Chaotic Sky Royal Family.

Xu Qing didnʼt step in. Instead, he continued to play with half of the Heavenʼs Law soil in his hand.

At the side, the Chaotic Sky Emperorʼs face was greenish-red. Clearly, he was even more anxious.

However, in this situation, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

Very soon, a scene that caused his expression to change again appeared.

Star Ring walked out of the entrance of the Chaotic Sky Royal Family with a strange expression and looked at Xu Qing.

”There are some special items inside. They do seem to be nine-colored...”

”So, do you want to come and take a look?”

Xu Qing was stunned when he heard that.

”It really is here?”

Star Ring besitated and spoke in a low voice.

”I donʼt know if itʼs the same thing or not but itʼs related to the Aurora Immortal Palace.”
