Outside Of Time

Chapter 1694 Ambition and Position

A day later.

The Chaotic Sky Emperor was kneeling outside the shattered Chaotic Sky Imperial Palace with a bitter expression.

Behind him, the gathered Chaotic Sky Clan members all had pale faces, their bodies exuding obvious signs of weakness. Among them, the three clan powerhouses who had previously tried to obstruct Star Ring were particularly haggard, with blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, their energy utterly depleted.

Their cultivation levels had already fallen!

They were no longer at the Quasi Immortal Realm but had directly fallen to the Ruler Realm.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that it wasnʼt just the three of them. The other members of the Chaotic Sky Clan had their cultivation levels drop to varying degrees.

In fact, if one observed carefully from the fluctuations of their souls, they would discover that... this drop was permanent.

It came from the soul and also from the bloodline!

Their bloodlines were cut off and their souls were restrained!

The bitter Chaotic Sky Emperor was also affected.

He silently knelt there. Although his cultivation realm was still at the Quasi Immortal Realm, he could only barely maintain it.

Moreover, Ulus state would always exist and he wouldnʼt be able to change it.

This was because the second head behind him had already withered.

His atavism had been interrupted!

However, all the members of the Chaotic Sky Clan, including him, chose to lower their heads at this moment. They didnʼt have much resentment.

In front of them, in the starry sky, a group of departing figures could be seen. They were ascenders.

The leader was Xu Qing.

They had left.

The vast amount of source essence accumulated during the Chaotic Sky Clanʼs ritual to purify their bloodline had already been taken by the group. Moreover, it was in line with Xu Qingʼs judgment.

Under Zhou Zhengliʼs leadership, everyone voluntarily handed over 20% of their acquired share.

Li Mengtu and the others were the same.

As for the treatment of the Chaotic Sky Royal Family... Star Ring joined forces with others in the name of order and used the Ordinance of Balance.

With this, he used the law of balance to extract the bloodline, causing the bloodline of this race to be mixed.

Given that the Chaotic Sky Clan had acted improperly in the first place-if not for the involvement of other Heavenʼs Beyond-reporting this incident could have justified exterminating the clan outright.

Now, without any bloodshed but through the weakening of their bloodline, any reports of this matter would still align with the broader interests of the human race in the Fifth Star Ring,

No one could find fault with it.

At the same time, such handling aligned well with the reputation of the Material Procurer...

It could be said that every aspect, both inside and out, had been carefully considered.

Moreover, the Chaotic Sky Clan also agreed with this.

This was because they knew that in the face of this team filled with ascenders... Regardless of combat strength, background, or anything else, they were inferior.

They were just too unlucky to encounter these people.

If the other party was really determined to destroy their clan, they could only walk into a dead end.

After all, this was the Fifth Star Ring, where the human race reigned supreme.

Hence, this outcome actually caused them to heave a sigh of relief in their hearts.

As long as their clansmen were still alive, it was already the greatest blessing for them.

Like this, the matter here could be considered to have come to an end.

After that, Xu Qing led everyone back to the location of A29.

On the way, he told everyone about his investigation and plan regarding the True God Sun.

Upon hearing that the seaweed in Prison A 29 was actually the jailer of a true god and that this true god could have his origin essence extracted, everyone became excited.

Although they had completed their harvesting missions and even had made a lot of extra gains, their need for origin essence was even greater.

Hence, everyoneʼs gazes were burning.

Moreover, after spending these days together, venturing into a clan as a group, and dividing the spoils, everyone had grown more accustomed to one another, fostering a greater sense of camaraderie and teamwork.

They also agreed with Xu Qingʼs lead.

This was especially so since Xu Qing let everyone have a share of the origin essence and he also had the highest combat strength among them, so they naturally approved of his leadership.

Just like that, everyone sped all the way.

They arrived at the location of the Prison A29.

That True God Sun was still at its original location. Although the seaweed that Jelt with Xu Qing was its main body, it didnʼt dare to leave its post unauthorized. Hence, before it left, it made a clone and monitored the True

God Prison at all times.

After returning to this place, Xu Qing suppressed the anticipation in his heart.

He first observed and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he looked at the people beside him.

”Then, letʼs follow the plan and collect the origin essence here!”

Xu Qing slowly spoke.

In the surroundings, all the Material Procurers, including Star Ring, already knew of the plan on the way. After seeing it with their own eyes and sensing it, their eyes revealed a bright glint.

A long time later, they looked at each other and saw their respective decisions.

Seeing this, Xu Qing said nothing further. He moved first, heading straight for the True God Sun.

The roots of the seaweed clone swayed and opened the entrance. At the same time, its main body returned, providing a certain degree of support for everyone. Following closely behind Xu Qing, Star Ring also stepped forward. Zhou Zhengli, Xie Lingzi, Yuanshan Su, Li Mengru and others followed one after another.

The group rushed in like a pack of hungry wolves.

Time flowed by.

Three days later, the True God Sun trembled and the seaweed outside swayed intensely.

This tremor lasted for seven to eight days before a loud boom rang out. Even in the starry sky, one could sense a terrifying origin essence spreading out from the sun.

It was as though the seal had been opened.

Several days later, the fire and heat of the True God Sun actually decreased. Its overall size seemed to have withered, and it was as though an even denser origin essence was about to erupt.

However, at this moment, a powerful divine sense suddenly soared into the sky from the True God Sun.

It transformed into a voice.

”You guys... enough!!”

”I will take this food away. You guys can scram within ten breaths of time. If you exceed the time limit and die here, your master and the forces behind you canʼt blame me!”

This sound was like heavenly lightning, rumbling through the entire Chaotic

Sky Universe.

It caused countless star systems and stars in the universe to shake in unison and all living beings to sliver.

Xu Qing and the others, who had barged into the True God Sun, felt their hearts palpitate as well.

Their figures spat out blood and their expressions fluctuated as they quickly left.

Finally, at the tenth breath, the True God Sun flew out.

The instant it appeared in the starry sky, a huge vortex appeared under the True God Sun.

This vortex was extremely large and looked like a mouth. An incomparably huge palm stretched out and grabbed the True God Sun, pulling it into the vortex.

The seaweed had no choice but to let go of its tendrils. Otherwise, it would also be dragged into it.

All of this seemed to take a long time to describe but in reality, after everyone appeared, the vortex and large hand instantly appeared and took away the True God Sun. The vortex and large hand instantly disappeared.

It was as though they had never appeared.

In the empty starry sky, only the trembling seaweed, Xu Qing, and the other cultivators watched with gloomy looks.

No one knew what to say about this scene.

Previously, after they entered the True God Sun, although the process of breaking the first two scals was somewhat difficult, it was still considered smooth overall. Moreover, they had also absorbed a lot of origin essence from the True God.

However... when they broke the third seal, an accident happened.

The third seal actually contained an eye!

It was the eye of an immortal, left there as the core of the seal imprisoning this True God Sun.

When they saw the eye, it suddenly opened and emitted a terrifying will that swept out like a storm, rendering everyone powerless to resist.

As for its identity, it was self-evident-it belonged to none other than the hidden Lower Immortal behind it all.

Clearly, this former official of the Aurora Heavenʼs Beyond, having learned of the intrudersʼ identities through his disciple, chose to hold back his wrath despite his fury.

He gave them ten breaths of time.

Subsequently, unwilling to leave the True God Sun behind, he chose to forcibly take it away at any cost.

Clearly, this action was a decision born of helplessness for the Lower Immortal. Otherwise, there was no need for him to do this now...

Xu Qing and the others could only express their frustration.

Yet in the face of a Lower Immortal, they were truly powerless to intervene.

At this moment, they could only sigh inwardly and choose to leave.

Seaweed was at a loss.

The prison it guarded... was gone.

The gods in the leaves were completely plundered by it.

Right now, in this vast world, it suddenly lost its mission...

Hence, under Xu Qingʼs persuasion, it chose to leave with them.

Thus, upon reaching a meteorite field, everyone dispersed, each choosing a meteorite to sit cross-legged upon, preparing to first digest their respective gains.

They decided to leave this universe in a month.

After all, although they had only absorbed the origin essence under the two layers of seals, the total amount was quite a lot.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

This silent meteorite field drifted quietly in the vast expanse of the starry sky. and its inhabitants remained equally tranquil.

Over the past half month, everyone sat cross-legged on their respective meteorites, diligently transforming the harvested origin essence into their own cultivation and combat power.

The auras from their bodies also increased day by day and became increasingly sharp.

On the seventeenth day... the serene void was suddenly shattered as a vast and boundless aura erupted skyward.

This overwhelming aura shook the surrounding space, causing the meteorites to veer chaotically, scattering in all directions under the impact.

In that instant, space and time twisted, the five elements manifested in harmony, and the rules of the universe in this region converged from all directions. A dazzling display of five-colored brilliance illuminated the universe. There were also waves of deafening heartbeats that pounded at this moment.

It was as though heavenly lightning was echoing.

This scene immediately caused everyoneʼs hearts to tremble. All of them woke up from their meditative state and opened their eyes, looking in the direction of the vast fluctuations in unison!

It was an oval-shaped meteorite. The person sitting cross-legged on it wore a black robe and had long hair that fluttered in the wind. His entire body emitted a bazy light and there was dense immortal energy on his body that continued to erupt in waves.

He was Xu Qing!

”Heʼs breaking through to the Quasi Immortal Realm!”

Star Ringʼs eyes gleamed.

”Such a momentum and commotion...”

Xie Lingziʼs expression was solemn and Yuanshan Su was a little dazed. Li Mengtu immediately paid attention to his surroundings and guarded Xu Qing. Qianjun and Piyiʼs hearts palpitated as they knew that the situation wasnʼt good.

They had a feeling that after Xu Qing successfully advanced to the Quasi Immortal Realm, he only needed to raise his hand and the two of them would involuntarily transform into immortal swords and cheer...

Thinking of that scene, the two brothers became anxious.

At this moment, Zhou Zhengli narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then, with a decisive glint in his gaze, stood up. In a flash, he moved to the meteorite closest to Xu Qing, sat down cross-legged, and adopted a solemn expression before speaking in a deep tone.

”Everyone, if you donʼt stand guard now, then when will you?”

”Additionally, regardless of whether any of you harbor other thoughts, allow me to remind you of one thing...”

At this point, Zhou Zhengliʼs eyes revealed a dark glint.

”Donʼt forget this place.... What was the name of the Heavenʼs Beyond in the past?”

”As for the other Heavenʼs Beyonds, most of the higher seats are already taken.”

”You all understand this, so no matter what you might be considering, my goal is clear to secure a place beside the future lord of this Heavenʼs Beyond ahead of time!”

”Although the possibility isnʼt high, or even negligible, but... compared to the huge gains, Iʼm willing to gamble!”

”Therefore, everyone who might make me lose this gamble is my enemy!”

This was the first time Zhou Zhengli spoke of his ambitions. Although no one knew if his words of ambition were his true goal...

It had to be said that his words indeed caused many peopleʼs thoughts to stir.

Qianjun and Piyiʼs hearts no longer palpitated. Instead, after being stunned for a moment, their eyes revealed a bright glint.

”Position?”
