Outside Of Time

Chapter 1802: Xu Qing’s Strongest Form!

Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Wanggu surged and roiled.

Heaven and earth changed color.

That divine river, flowing across the sky of Wanggu, appeared in an instant—and as it did, boundless divine might erupted and spread from within, causing the minds of all living beings across Wanggu to explode with deafening roar.

They uncontrollably lost all thought, left only with a blank consciousness and an instinctual trembling of body and soul.

Even the gods were no exception. One by one, they all lowered their heads in this moment.

This was an absolute suppression from a superior level of life itself!

What’s more, endless anomalous substances permeated from within that vast divine river that had manifested between heaven and earth, about to flood all of Wanggu in every direction.

But all of this lasted only for a moment.

Because in the sky, the fragmented-face of Desolate, suspended high above, slightly turned its head!

In the very next instant, that golden giant eye within the divine river—an eye that had just transformed from a drop of river water and had terrified all sentient beings—without hesitation, directly chose to shut closed.

It rapidly retracted ninety-nine percent of Its aura.

Even as a Venerable God, It dared not expose Itself further!

It dared not descend in full form!

Dared not send more than a wisp of divine sense!

And that single strand of divine thought, in the instant the eye shut, used that drop of river water to send a figure!

This was a vague figure entirely blue in color. Upon appearing, a terrifying pressure erupted violently from it.

Although this pressure was not as terrifying as the Eye of the Divine River, it was still astonishing—just not enough... to catch the fragmented-face’s interest.

Even though... this entity sent by the Mother River was a Lord God!

And the instant It appeared, It condensed into a massive fist, which without hesitation, almost urgently... struck directly at the Human Realm Sword.

BOOM!

Heaven and earth trembled at the collision.

The Human Realm Sword trembled, and under the overwhelming force that surged from that massive fist, was forced to retreat.

As for that fist, it exploded outward after the impact.

It formed a vast blue ocean, sweeping in all directions with boundless divine might, severing the void and splitting space-time—its sole purpose being... to stop Xu Qing.

What’s more, as the divine might-formed ocean enveloped Xu Qing, the Lord God sent by the Mother River ignored the Human Realm Sword and did not continue attacking Xu Qing.

It suddenly retreated, grabbing the weakened Ancient Immortal, and headed straight for the sky.

Its speed was immense, racing toward the edge of the heavens.

Its mission was to bring this chess piece of the Mother River back!

Beyond that, It had no other intentions.

It dared not act too much here, nor did It want to linger.

Even It could not understand why the Mother River had assigned It this mission.

After all, the chess piece had already failed and severed its connection to Wanggu, losing all value—yet the Mother River took a massive risk to send even a projection and a sliver of divine thought just to bring It over.

To ensure that this cultivator would be taken back.

It did not know the reason, only that It had to obey.

Because It could not resist the will of the Mother River, not even if It felt a fear rooted in the instincts of life Itself for this task.

”Thankfully, the Mother River allowed only thirty percent of my full form to come.”

These thoughts rose within Its heart even as It carried the Ancient Immortal to the very edge of the sky.

During this process, It glanced once at the fragmented-face of Desolate.

Just a single glance—and Its divine soul trembled uncontrollably.

So, Its speed increased further, and by borrowing the power of the Mother River, It instantly broke free of Wanggu’s seal and entered the starry sky beyond.

Fleeing toward the distance!

It did not want to stay in this terrifying Wanggu even a single moment longer.

It did not even want to get close.

”As long as I get beyond Wanggu’s boundary, the Mother River can guide me back directly...”

All of this may seem long to say, but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye.

At the moment that the Lord God sent by the Mother River flew into the starry sky, the heavens above Wanggu saw Xu Qing erupt in Ordinance Law. The divine sea around him instantly disintegrated into fragments, into droplets, and ultimately into mist that scattered in all directions.

In the thinning mist, Xu Qing stood in mid-air, raising his head to gaze at the sky.

All his thoughts were now fully complete.

On his path of return, he had encountered an unknown enemy. Had he not been fully prepared, returning safely would have been extremely difficult.

And such an encounter caused immense suspicion to arise in Xu Qing’s heart.

Especially since the enemy along the way, though cloaked in concealment, still left traces that Xu Qing—with his knowledge—could make sense of.

Thus, after descending into Wanggu, he did not engage in a lengthy magic battle with the Ancient Immortal, but rather an Ordinance Dao battle.

One purpose was to completely force the opponent to the limit and thereby sever his karmic ties to Wanggu—so the two would no longer be related.

The other purpose was that Xu Qing wanted to see if there was a higher power behind the opponent.

The reason for this probing was precisely the attack he had suffered on the return journey.

That unknown enemy’s goal was clearly to kill him—and after failing, to delay him.

From all this, Xu Qing deeply suspected that the calamity in Wanggu could not merely be the result of the Ancient Immortal’s descent.

If there truly was something behind it, and he failed to identify it precisely, the future would be fraught with even greater danger.

Hence, the previous series of confrontations.

Until the moment just now, when the Ancient Immortal severed his merit, lost his immortal status, and faced death—Xu Qing finally sensed the ripple behind him.

So, the Human Realm Sword struck without hesitation.

And at last, the drop of river water was revealed!

These thoughts flashed through Xu Qing’s mind, transforming into an even more chilling light in his eyes.

”So it was you!”

Before, he could only narrow the suspect list to Venerable Gods of the Ninth Star Ring, but he had no way of knowing the exact one.

Now, he understood the origin clearly.

”As for what you sent—It may be a Lord God, but It’s merely a projection...”

Xu Qing looked up toward the starry sky. His body flickered and transformed into a silver long rainbow, whistling straight toward the heavens.

His speed was so fast that in an instant, he reached the edge of the sky—and in that moment, his calm voice echoed throughout Wanggu.

”Divine Body, Return!”

His words shook the world and resounded in all directions, with countless thunder-like echoes exploding again and again...

In the Fenghai County, outside the Phoenix Palace within the underground palace—

There, a figure had been sitting cross-legged with eyes shut all this time. In that moment, His eyes suddenly opened wide!

Golden brilliance unique to gods surged from within Him.

It was Xu Qing’s divine body!

A shocking divine might erupted to the heavens. Then, with no change in expression, the divine body suddenly stood up and transformed into a brilliant golden long rainbow, soaring upward!

He broke through the underground palace, burst from the earth, and under the astonished gazes of countless cultivators in Fenghai County, that golden rainbow charged toward the heavens!

The golden light and silver rainbow rose from two separate places—finally, under the stunned gazes of all the powerhouses of Wanggu, they met at the edge of the sky.

The two figures—without hesitation—merged instantly!

Gold and silver intertwined in an instant!

The light was like a sea, blanketing the sky.

A divine spark manifested in that fusion.

It was... the Fate Divine Aspect!

Using the Fate Divine Aspect as power, empowering the divine body—uniting the immortal and divine as one in that moment!

At last, it broke through the sky and appeared in the starry void beyond Wanggu!

Transforming into a... unique and sacred figure!

The body of a god, inscribed with numerous divine authorities—those divine authorities woven together with the core being the Fate Divine Aspect!

The aura of a Summer Immortal radiated from his soul, wrapping around his body, forming patterns of Ordinance Law. Each pattern contained space-time, contained parallel dimensions, and contained return to one!

Reflected in his eyes: the left eye shimmered with flowing silver brilliance; the right eye shone with golden light!

And with long hair resembling a purple galactic river...

The divine might of a Lord God shook the heavens.

The pressure of an Immortal Lord filled space-time.

Together, they formed this world-shaking existence that drew the attention of all supreme beings within the Ninth Star Ring!

This—this was Xu Qing’s strongest form yet!

”You... cannot escape.”

In the starry sky, Xu Qing, now merged as Immortal and God, slowly turned his head. His golden and silver eyes gazed far into the cosmos—toward the direction where that Lord God fled.

With a single step, he gave chase!
