Outside Of Time

Chapter 1756  Skinning the Planet! 

Peeling the planetʼs skin!

The moment Xu Qing heard these words, even though he had experienced countless bizarre and unimaginable events, his heart still shivered violently.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Such a bold move…

After all, this was the Primordial Home Planet of the Fourth Star Ring. The idea of peeling its skin sounded both grand and awe-inspiring, carrying an indescribable, vast ambition.

”I still have one question. From what Iʼve learned before and after coming here, this place is clearly of utmost importance to the Fourth Star Ring. So why…”

Xu Qingʼs gaze swept around.

Whether it was during the more than a month he had been here or now, the opposition and struggle of the Primordial Home Planet didnʼt seem to match its significance. Especially now, there didnʼt seem to be any guardians appearing.

The entire Primordial Home Planet seemed to consist only of corpses and those Origin Sins.

Fairy Spirit Phoenix smiled softly upon hearing this.

”First, this planet is not suitable for long-term stays. Origin essence is constantly being absorbed here. Second, this planet is mysterious and difficult to explore. Conventional methods canʼt reach it. It appears to exist here, but in reality, this region is like a memory.”

”In other words, it exists within the memories of gods. Of course, this is how we, as cultivators, would phrase it. In the understanding of gods, itʼs different. They lean toward the idea of it being the end of True Names.”

”And most importantly, what you see is only the present.”

”According to the Venerable Immortalʼs understanding, the Primordial Home Planet of the Fourth Star Ring… has actually been destroyed dozens of times. In various accidents and for various reasons, it has been annihilated.”

”But no matter how itʼs destroyed, it never shakes the foundation of the gods, because it… will reappear, completely intact, and even the resurrections that should have happened will return to the moment before the destruction.”

”To some extent, you could say… as long as there are gods in the Fourth Star Ring, this planet will never truly disappear.”

”This is also why there are no defenses here.”

”Thereʼs simply no need.”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought, then turned to look at Young Master Aurora, who was striding toward the canyon. A new question arose in his heart.

”Then… what is the significance of stripping its skin?”

Fairy Spirit Phoenixʼs eyes showed a trace of complexity as she also looked at Young Master Aurora not far away. She spoke softly.

”Your big brother is about to do something that his father was supposed to do. This is something unprecedented, something only he and his father can accomplish.”

As Fairy Spirit Phoenixʼs words echoed, Young Master Aurora stepped into the canyon.

The moment he entered, his hands shaped a strange seal. This seal was complicated and defied the natural bending of finger joints. Some fingers had to twist in unnatural directions.

As the seal was formed, an ancient aura rose.

Causing the sky to ripple and the earth to echo with low, grumbling sounds.

”That is the sacrificial seal passed down from the Venerable Immortal!”

Xu Qing watched intently, instinctively trying to memorize the seal formation. Beside him, Fairy Spirit Phoenix noticed Xu Qingʼs intent and explained.

Xu Qing immediately focused harder on memorizing it.

At the same time, as Young Master Auroraʼs seal took effect, the next moment, the glaciers on both sides of the canyon shivered under the low rumbling of the earth, as if struck by a colossal force.

With a deafening roar, the glaciers on both sides collapsed!

Exposing many of the bronze doors.

The collapse spread rapidly, sweeping along the canyon, causing the glaciers on both sides to groan like dying beasts.

Countless massive ice chunks were torn apart by an invisible force, flipping open to reveal the darkness beneath.

Allowing the eerie green moonlight to pour down unimpeded.

Turning the darkness beneath the glacier into a hazy glow.

In this haze, countless Origin Sins could be seen. They had lived here since their creation, feeding on the flesh and bones of gods. Now, in the face of this cataclysmic change, they let out piercing howls toward the source of this upheaval.

These howls shook the heavens, forming terrifying sound waves, like the roar of the Primordial Home Planet.

It was as if the planet was unleashing its fury, seeking to obliterate all outsiders.

Then, all of them charged toward Young Master Aurora.

From the sky, this scene was incredibly spectacular.

Countless Origin Sins, in the hazy darkness, surged like a black tide, overwhelming and frenzied.

Among them were those entirely covered in blue ice, displaying terrifying power, causing Xu Qingʼs heart to churn.

But to Young Master Aurora, he simply raised his hand and pressed down.

Instantly, an Ordinance familiar to Xu Qing erupted from Young Master Aurora, sweeping over the charging Origin Sins.

Wherever it touched, the Origin Sins instantly lost their height!

They became… flat, two-dimensional entities!

As if they had been turned into paintings.

This scene shook Xu Qing to his core, and his eyes gleamed with a bright light.

This was exactly the state Young Master Aurora had been in when Xu Qing first encountered him in the Aurora Immortal Palace.

It was also the direction Xu Qing had been exploring for his next step after forming his own Space-Time Ordinance.

”Xu Qing, this is your path. Although I can borrow it now, once you achieve the Dao, this path will be yours alone among all the immortals in the world!”

As Young Master Auroraʼs voice echoed, he continued walking downward.

Wherever he passed, waves of Origin Sins lost their height, becoming flat, like paper money for the dead, continuously falling.

Thus, the Origin Sins no longer posed an obstacle, and the haze could no longer block him. Young Master Aurora stepped deeper into the earth beneath!

This world beneath the glacier, which once had the glacier above as its sky, also had earth below!

Now, as Young Master Aurora descended, he raised his hands and pressed them down.

Instantly, aurora light shone from his body, transforming into a sea of light that swept in all directions, completely dispelling the haze and revealing the earth below.

It was… a dark purple, fleshy rock layer!!

Upon closer inspection, one could see that this rock layer had a membrane-like surface!

Covered in dense, fine tendrils, endless and boundless, like a grassland or the tentacles of this planet!

And at the end of each tentacle was a golden vertical eye.

All of them stared intently at Young Master Aurora as he approached!

The Primordial Home Planet truly had skin!

Xu Qingʼs eyes gleamed with wonder as he and Fairy Spirit Phoenix descended. Young Master Aurora raised his hands, each finger forming a hook, and plunged them into the rock layer below!

Then, with a fierce motion, he tore outward and shook!

From within the earth, a thunderous roar of pain echoed, shaking heaven and earth.

As Young Master Auroraʼs hands tore and shook, an endless expanse of star skin, along with the shattered ice chunks, was violently ripped open.

This was the peeling of the skin!!

The sound of tearing and piercing howls rose to a deafening crescendo.

A blood spring, carrying planet fragments, gushed from the peeled earth, shooting straight into the sky!

Like blood rain defying gravity, it soared toward the heavens!

In the air, it rapidly condensed into crimson clouds that blotted out the sky, as if trying to replace the sky here!

At the same time, as the earth was torn open, ripples spread, and the countless golden vertical eyes on the detached planet skin simultaneously opened wide, releasing countless golden beams of light, like a rain of arrows, shooting toward Young Master Aurora.

As they approached, a blood-red vertical eye split open on Young Master Auroraʼs forehead. Deep within its pupil, a swirling black vortex erupted, instantly devouring all the golden beams of light.

Then, with his hands gripping the planetʼs skin from a distance, he fiercely flung it in the desired direction!

Instantly, the two pieces of planet skin let out a loud tearing sound, continuously peeling away from both sides of Young Master Aurora!

The peeling spread further and further, rumbling into the distance.

From afar, it looked like an inverted ”八” shape!

Its scope grew larger and larger, both in tearing and lifting, until it reached a considerable height, forming a relatively complete skin!

It spread across the dome of the sky!

Heaven and earth changed colors!

Young Master Auroraʼs voice echoed leisurely.

”Seal the heavens, the fetal membrane becomes a world.”

Instantly, the terrifying planet skin writhed intensely in the sky, merging with the void to form an amber-colored fetal membrane!

Like a massive biological membrane, it became the new sky of the Primordial Home Planet.

From the outside, the faint green moonlight from the starry sky, now solidified, crashed against the fetal membrane, creating ripples but unable to penetrate any further.

Looking up from below, one could see the fetal membrane sky clearly displaying its fleshy texture, with vein patterns seemingly forming a star map. Drops of blood formed flowing galaxies on the dome.

It was both shocking and reflected the distorted image of the fleshy earth below.

This scene left Xu Qingʼs heart in turmoil.

Indeed, the sky of the Primordial Home Planet had been replaced!

The light from the outside was completely blocked, plunging the world into an eternal crimson twilight. The planet itself was like a giant beast being skinned alive.

The ground, as far as the eye could see, was covered in dark red muscle tissue, crisscrossed with startling nerve networks. Broken blood vessels could even be seen, oozing golden liquid origin essence.

From the depths of the planet came an eerie pulse, causing the entire earth to tremble, as if some ancient being was being stirred and was about to awaken.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, his heart churning. Young Master Aurora, who had peeled the planetʼs skin, now stepped onto the exposed flesh of the mother planet. As he walked forward, one could see his boots sticking to the starʼs marrow, pulling it into threads.

Around him, towering waves of blood gushed from the fleshy earth, as if painting his background!

At the same time, the lament of the mother planet, combined with the piercing cries of countless Origin Sin larvae crawling out from the flesh, intertwined, growing increasingly intense.

It became a terrifying sound wave, like the sorrow of all living things, surging endlessly.

Young Master Aurora walked through the flesh, as if measuring it.

Soon, he found his target.

”This is the place.”

Muttering to himself, he raised his right hand and placed it on his forehead. With a fierce motion, he pulled outward.

Instantly, a silver light flashed, suppressing the crimson hue of the world. A massive sword appeared!

It was… the sword of the Immortal Venerable!

The moment it appeared, Young Master Aurora didnʼt hesitate. He plunged it into the flesh beneath his feet and then fiercely slashed!

Instantly, the entire planet let out an even more intense scream.

Thick plasma gushed out.

The wound rapidly expanded, eventually revealing a pulsating planet core below!

It was the palace used by the Primordial Home Planet when it gave birth to the first god!

”Heʼs…”

In mid-air, Xu Qing watched all of this, his heart in turmoil. A bold, almost unbelievable guess rose in his mind.

Beside him, Fairy Spirit Phoenix glanced at Xu Qing and spoke softly.

”You should have guessed…”

”Your big brother is going to… become a god here!”
