Outside of Time - Chapter 1290

Chapter 1268 True God of the True Yi

This is a dark world.

Thick black, like solidified asphalt, envelops the entire world, forming a wall around it.

Within this world, in the sky, dark red lines, like cracked spiderwebs, cover the entire heavens.

Drops of blood seep from the cracks in these lines, sprinkling onto the ravaged earth

like rain.

And at the center of this blood rain high in the sky, where the lines intersect, within the heavens, grows a gigantic tumor!

It is like a dead sun, high above, or like a deformed god parasitizing this world, giving people an extremely eerie and sinister feeling.

Xu Qing, and all the gods who disappeared within the halo… now appear out of thin air in this blood rain.

Teleported here.

The moment they appear in this eerie blood rain, all the gods instinctively look around, clearly for each of them, this place… is their first time here.

As for Xu Qing, who was inside, his exploration was comprehensive, encompassing not only this world but also areas beyond it.

Fortunately, the crisis from before the teleportation seemed to be isolated by the strangeness of this place.

The divine sense from the starry sky did not descend.

This discovery brought a slight sense of relief to Xu Qing, but it also stirred a strange feeling in his heart about this world.

“Could this not be the center of the earth’s veins?”

Xu Qing looked up at the sky, gazing at the blood-red patterns filling the heavens, and at the enormous and bizarre sphere of flesh, his pupils contracting slightly.

He vaguely discerned some clues about that tumor.

Then he looked down at the earth.

The earth of this world was also black, and the mud formed where the blood rain fell resembled festering scars.

Countless crimson figures sprouted from the places where the blood rain fell; they had no facial features, numbly spreading in all directions, beginning to labor.

In the distance, layered mountain ranges resembled the skeletal remains of giant beasts stripped of their flesh, with thick, black mist flowing from every ravine.

Within the smog, withered trees grew eerily, their forms twisted and contorted, their gnarled trunks a sickly grayish-white, as if pieced together from countless broken vertebrae. Their slender branches twisted towards the sky, like countless hands reaching for the heavens!

Yet, corroded by the falling blood rain, they oozed black sap, which clung together, forming umbrellas that provided shelter from the rain.

These umbrellas varied in size; the larger ones, as Xu Qing observed, were often clusters of multiple withered trees, their area comparable to a city.

Beneath these umbrellas grew countless vesicles, densely packed like grapes.

On the umbrellas grew tiny crystals, refracting a faint light that mingled with illusion and reality.

These faint lights caught Xu Qing’s attention.

They were miniature worlds, now reduced to ruins!

Something hidden within them flickered and shimmered in the faceted crystals.

This scene intensified the strangeness in Xu Qing’s heart.

“It’s as if heaven and earth are fighting here!”

Xu Qing murmured to himself.

For he saw that the tiny figures emerging from the rain of blood were using axes formed from their arms to chop down withered trees, each strike leaving a mark on the trunk.

They were also splitting mountains, and the sparks from the axes striking the rocks contained tiny teeth and fingernails.

It was as if the trees and mountains on this earth were living beings!

And this labor was fraught with danger!

Xu Qing witnessed firsthand that in one mountain range, as countless tiny figures chopped away, the many withered trees suddenly convulsed.

The next instant, the grape-like vesicles beneath the various sizes of Ganoderma lucidum growing on the trees burst one after another!

The sap that gushed out condensed into countless threads in the air, piercing towards the tiny figures.

Wherever it passed, the tiny figures it touched cracked like charcoal, their skin splitting open with a faint, dark red light, before quickly collapsing into ashes.

All of this made Xu Qing’s heart tighten.

He had already seen the truth of this world.

“These are two terrifying True Gods, both at the peak of the True God realm!”

“They are one above and one below, fighting each other in a different way.”

“This state is strange, seemingly a stalemate.” “

So the True God in the sky tore open the celestial canopy of this world, sprinkling his divine blood, which transformed into those tiny figures, sending them to chop down trees and split mountains.”

“And the mountains and trees are another True God, struggling, but seemingly showing signs of weakness after continuing for so long.”

“Then the purpose of the Zhenyi family…”

Xu Qing was wary, his thoughts racing. At the same time, the surrounding gods also made their own discoveries in this place.

Then, within the divine realm, the voice of the dwarf from the Zhenyi family, sitting cross-legged on a black lotus, echoed.

“Although you are under the jurisdiction of my clan and are my clan’s subordinate gods, since you have obeyed the summons, I will no longer conceal this from you.”

“The outside world says that the true god of my Zhenyi clan perished in his early years and could not return, but in reality… our true god is not dead; He is right there!”

On the black lotus, the dwarf stood up, raising his right hand to point at the dark, fleshy orb in the sky!

“He is trapped in a fusion with another true god!”

“And your mission here is to help our true god clear the trees and mountains of this place, relieving the pressure on our true god so that He can successfully complete the final fusion.”

“At that time, our true god will awaken, and you subordinate gods, in addition to the rewards you deserve, will receive other benefits, being bestowed with divine seals and each possessing the protection of our true god once.”

The dwarf’s divine voice echoed on the black lotus.

Most of the gods teleported here, within the strict hierarchy of the divine system, and being subordinate gods of the Zhenyi family, had no objections to this mission.

Upon hearing this, they dispersed, unleashing their respective divine arts; some shook withered trees, others trembled barren mountains.

Only those who had reached the Divine Platform realm were qualified to weigh the pros and cons at this moment.

This was true of the few who had been the focus of Xu Qing’s attention earlier.

However, in the Black Lotus Dwarf’s divine sense, these individuals also nodded in agreement, joining the assistance to the True God of the Zhenyi Clan.

But instead of chopping down trees and breaking mountains, they flew into the celestial canopy, circling the enormous black fleshy ball, sitting cross-legged, each releasing their spiritual energy, and channeling their divine breath into the ball.

They established a connection with that True God, dispersing their oppressive aura.

Although their divine power was merely a drop in the ocean for a true god, at this crucial moment, having an extra force to share the burden was a way to consolidate the advantage for the true gods of the True Yi race.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing felt the divine thoughts of the dwarf echoing in his mind.

“I came here because my race’s true god summoned me using the method of bloodline. He is about to merge, hence this journey.”

“As a divine platform, integrate your divine power into the celestial canopy and establish a connection with my race’s true god. After my race’s true god awakens, I will bestow upon you a fragment of a broken divine spark!”

This reward was already very generous.

But Xu Qing… could not help.

He was, after all, not a god.

In his current state, he could not establish a connection with a true god without being recognized. After

all, that was the peak of true godhood.

Even getting too close felt extremely dangerous to Xu Qing.

So he sighed inwardly, the feeling of being surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind, unable to move an inch, was particularly strong, so he could only speak in a low voice.

“My Lord, this matter is of utmost importance and cannot be lost. My cultivation is insufficient, and I am of no use here. Please open the teleportation; I will depart immediately.”

With that, Xu Qing raised his hand and flicked it, taking out the True God Stone and sending it to the dwarf.

Entering this place was a last resort. Although the chances of the other party agreeing to leave now were slim, Xu Qing still wanted to try. If it went smoothly, that would be good.

If not… a chill rose in Xu Qing’s heart.

At this moment, in the blood rain, only Xu Qing and the Black Lotus Dwarf remained in mid-air.

Hearing Xu Qing’s words, the dwarf expressionlessly raised his finger and touched the True God Stone in front of him. The black stone trembled instantly, turning into ashes and dissipating.

Then, his gaze turned cold as he looked at Xu Qing.

“Either submit, or perish.”

A murderous glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

But the next instant, on the spiderweb-like blood-patterned sky, the huge black fleshy ball suddenly wriggled a few times, and a crack within it suddenly opened a little.

Like eyes opening and closing!

The instant they opened, a murky gaze suddenly fell from the gap in the fleshy sphere… landing on Xu Qing.

In an instant, the dark red light of the sky suddenly became viscous, the entire world roared, and everything distorted.

A murmured divine voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

Xu Qing’s body trembled. The gaze seemed tangible; in that instant, he seemed to hear the sound of blood flowing backward, the crisp sound of bones cracking in a vacuum, and the piercing screams of the butterfly’s remnant spirit burning within him. In a moment

, the butterfly’s divine shell surrounding his body tightened, unable to withstand the gaze, cracking inch by inch, collapsing in an instant.

With a boom, it shattered into pieces,

revealing Xu Qing’s true form.

At the same time, within the black fleshy sphere of the sky, upon sensing Xu Qing’s true form, a muffled sound like a fetal heartbeat suddenly rang out, each tremor causing the rubble on the mountain’s surface to shudder.

An even greater pressure surged from within the fleshy sphere, about to descend, but in the next instant, the mountains and trees of the earth seemed to find an opportunity to retaliate. The earth rumbled, the mountains shook, and countless trees rose from the ground, attempting to soar into the sky.

Even the withered trees forcefully grew, reaching straight for the heavens.

Thus, the black fleshy sphere within the sky paused, then emitted an unknown roar, forced to close its eyes again, focusing all its attention on merging with its formidable enemy.

Heaven and earth clashed once more.

Meanwhile, the dwarf’s divine eyes narrowed, as if receiving a telepathic message. His divine might instantly erupted, his eyes gleaming with a dark light, and the three hundred and sixty ancient remains surrounding him all opened their eyes, locking onto Xu Qing.

“You are not a god, you are a cultivator!”

“The God Emperor of Li Zhu has issued an edict to arrest the cultivator who abducted the Star-Eyed Phoenix, could it be… you!”
