Outside of Time - Chapter 1294

Chapter 1272 An Excited Erniu!

Within the array formed by Star Ring Grass fragments, Xu Qing stood.

At this moment, he possessed all the conditions for teleportation. The Star Ring Grass from the Immortal Venerable was in his hand, and the aura of the little golden rat surrounded his body.

With a mere thought, he could teleport away.

In this state, he raised his head, gazing at the blood-red sky.

He awaited an answer.

And soon, a voice of vicissitudes, carrying a barely perceptible hint of confusion, echoed through this small world.

“I don’t know either…”

“Many years ago, I perished once. When I returned, my memories contained both the past of a god and the fragmented memories of a cultivator.”

“These two memories intertwined, leaving me often in a state of confusion.”

“In this confusion, a voice sometimes echoed in my mind amidst the collision of these two memories.”

“That voice told me that it had left a mark in my memory, and one day, it would use this mark to do something.”

“Therefore, it told me not to be attached to what I am, but to keep walking the path beneath my feet until one day, I encountered a cultivator who could resonate with the mark in my memory.” ” The

moment you entered the outer secret realm, I sensed the resonance of the mark. I knew… the person I was waiting for had arrived.” “

As for the question you asked me, I cannot answer accurately. I might be a god, or… a cultivator.”

“I have no evidence to prove what I say, so… whether you believe it or not is up to you.”

“And I won’t hide it from you, the secret method I taught you to absorb the True God of the True Deity will cause ripples outside the secret realm, and there is a risk of it being perceived by the outside world.”

“But the secret technique is real, and the absorption is real.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing glanced down at the array beneath his feet, and after a few breaths, calmly spoke.

“Give me the secret technique.”

The next instant, streaks of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, intersecting to form a jade slip, which landed in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing scanned it with his divine sense, and immediately a secret technique called the Profound Nether Refining God Technique surged into his heart.

The moment he sensed this secret technique, Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed; the first two characters of the technique’s name stirred something within him.

“This secret technique exists within the fragmented memories of my cultivators; only those possessing the aura of immortals can use it.”

The voice of the Earth True God echoed between heaven and earth.

Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

“In your fragmented memories of your cultivator, is his name there?”

“…”

The Earth True God remained silent for a long while before softly speaking.

“No.”

Xu Qing remained silent. Within his mind, the Profound Nether Refining God Technique formed dense runes, which he analyzed one by one as his divine sense swept over them. Finally, a flash of silver light appeared in his eyes.

The next instant, the void behind him roared, and a vast immortal embryo, capable of supporting the heavens, materialized between heaven and earth.

Streams of runes transformed from the Profound Nether Refining God Technique were also rendered silver, flowing across the massive immortal embryo’s body, ultimately converging in its right hand.

It reached out towards the sky of this small world!

In an instant, the heavens shattered, the giant hand tearing open a large hole and extending outwards.

Simultaneously, within the outer secret realm where heaven and earth were fiercely battling

, mountains were erupting, withered trees were shooting skyward, and a torrential rain of blood fell from the sky. The enormous black fleshy ball was trembling violently.

At this moment, all the Lingzhi Umbrellas instantly shone with silver light.

This light instantly enveloped the entire secret realm, spreading in all directions, and simultaneously forming a vast silver hand.

That was Xu Qing’s outstretched hand

, the Immortal Embryo! He reached out and grabbed at the black fleshy sphere in the sky!

Instantly, all the silver runes surged forth from this giant hand, forming a silver torrent that rushed towards the black fleshy sphere, completely enveloping it while it was fiercely battling the Earth God.

And… it absorbed it frantically!

In the blink of an eye, terrifying source matter, like a raging sea, was directly absorbed by the silver runes and returned to the Immortal Embryo. At the same time, Xu Qing’s body was also rapidly refining the absorbed source matter

, transforming it into immortal spiritual energy to nourish the Immortal Embryo!

His cultivation also rose at this moment, steadily advancing towards the late stage of Quasi-Immortal…

The black fleshy sphere in the sky trembled to its extreme, bursting forth with powerful bursts of True God’s pressure, accompanied by a deafening divine sound.

“Insolence!”

The sound exploded in all directions, causing countless fine cracks to appear in the heavens and earth of this secret realm. At the same time, the fleshy sphere suddenly tore open a gap, revealing a golden eye!

He was devoid of emotion, so what would have been boundless rage in the presence of a cultivator or a deity would have remained cold indifference.

However, the absence of emotion did not mean He was incapable of weighing the consequences. He clearly understood that in the process of devouring the Earth God, Xu Qing’s absorption was tantamount to plundering His very essence, His future, and even His life and death.

Under normal circumstances, He knew that a quasi-immortal cultivator could not plunder Him.

The fundamental reason for all this… besides the unique plundering technique employed by the other party, was primarily…

His formidable enemy, the Earth God, was struggling, resisting, and using this final opportunity to unleash everything.

Indeed, at the instant Xu Qing absorbed, all the mountains of the earth transformed into sharp blades formed from spines, shooting directly into the sky with a deafening roar, piercing the heavens.

Even the withered trees burned themselves to empower the silver hand that Xu Qing had transformed into, using golden light to suppress divine power and ensure the smooth operation of the silver hand.

At this critical moment, the Heavenly Meatball suddenly trembled, its outer flesh shattering instantly, each layer burning and unleashing terrifying power.

This power dispelled the absorption from Xu Qing!

Although the Earth True God intervened, mitigating most of it, the aftershocks were still terrifying. The moment it touched Xu Qing’s Immortal Embryo hand, it shattered into pieces, collapsing and scattering   countless amounts of True God essence.   Xu Qing’s vast Immortal Embryo body within the small world was also affected, collapsing with a deafening roar.

Xu   Qing within the formation also coughed up blood, silvery blood, because it contained too much True God essence that he had just absorbed but hadn’t had time to refine.   Simultaneously, his rising cultivation was forcibly interrupted, even causing a backlash.

However, Xu Qing was also ruthless. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and before the blood could even fall, it rapidly turned into a blood mist, which he absorbed back into his body.

Then, veins bulged all over his body, and the power of his immortal embryo roared once more, coalescing again. He raised his large hand again, and with a ferocious expression, stretched it out once more!

The silver hand suddenly reappeared outside, and a torrent of silver runes once more enveloped the black fleshy ball, beginning to absorb it!

And this absorption was completely different from before.

In terms of speed and force, it far surpassed everything else.

That was because Xu Qing this time… didn’t refine it!

Normally, this process involves absorption and refinement simultaneously, nourishing it with immortal spiritual energy—a complete cycle.

But after what had just happened, Xu Qing knew very well that his refining speed was far slower than his absorption speed.

This delay affected the overall absorption speed.

But now, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes; he abandoned refining, using himself as a container, simply absorbing.

Doing so had several drawbacks.

First, Xu Qing’s capacity was limited.

After all, that was the peak of True Godhood. If it were likened to an ocean, then Xu Qing was merely a lake.

Secondly, it would be too wasteful, and what he absorbed wouldn’t be pure.

But Xu Qing couldn’t care less about that now. Given this opportunity to take a big bite, he would eat as much as he could, ideally taking some home with him!

So, he gritted his teeth and inhaled with all his might!

In an instant, he reached saturation, but the absorption continued.

He absorbed what he could, and what he couldn’t, he dispersed outwards!

On the celestial canopy, a section of the black fleshy ball appeared shriveled. Although this shriveled part wasn’t large compared to the whole, it was currently engaged in fierce combat with the Earth True God, and its countermeasures were limited.

At the same time, this missing section was like a flaw or oversight, making the Earth True God’s counterattack even stronger. After

all, the advantages and disadvantages between them weren’t that different.

What made the black fleshy ball lose ground here was the outward dispersion after Xu Qing couldn’t absorb any more.

Like a deflated balloon!

All of this created a tremendous crisis for Him.

At the critical moment, the black fleshy ball trembled, burning a portion of itself again, creating a tearing sound that shook the void.

He was about to tear apart the space of this secret realm, attempting to disperse its aura.

This was both to open an exit and to allow the outside world to perceive what was happening here!

He wouldn’t want to do this unless absolutely necessary, as it would introduce even greater variables, but the current absorption forced Him to do so.

To use variables to resolve the crisis.

But… just as He was about to tear open the secret realm,

suddenly, the silver runes surrounding Him instantly collapsed on their own, along with the silver hand and Xu Qing’s vast immortal embryo within the small world.

Xu Qing had actually and decisively abandoned the absorption!

Without hesitation, he activated teleportation, disappearing instantly within the teleportation array!

He had left this place!

He had agreed to the Earth God’s deal, but given his character, he wouldn’t completely trust the other party’s words.

Therefore, from beginning to end, he had no intention of completely helping.

He had only one purpose.

That is… to restore balance to what was once an imbalance!

In this way, no one can possibly have the will to pursue him!

“Gone?”

In the sky, the black fleshy ball immediately stopped tearing apart. As its mind raced, the Earth God erupted once more, and the battle between heaven and earth continued unabated.

At the same time, within this secret realm, as the heavens and earth roared, in the Earth God’s small world, at the place where Xu Qing disappeared, the array composed of star-ring grass fragments was rapidly dissipating.

But just as the array was about to completely dissipate…

a blue worm the size of a finger, with a human face, suddenly emerged from within, illuminated by a flash of teleportation light.

The moment it appeared, the star-ring grass fragments of the array completely vanished, leaving no trace.

Only the blue worm remained, staring blankly at its surroundings.

“Where the hell is this?”

the blue worm wondered, its human face…

If Xu Qing were here, he would be astonished, and overjoyed.

It was Er Niu!

Erniu was in a daze at the moment, but the next instant, his nose twitched slightly, and he suddenly looked into the distance, his eyes shining brightly, instinctively exclaiming,

“That’s the aura of flesh and blood from the peak of the Divine Platform!!”

“Wow, where is this place…”

Erniu was somewhat excited. His body flickered, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot, rapidly traversing this small world. Soon after… he arrived at the battlefield between Xu Qing and those gods.

Looking at the corpses of gods scattered everywhere, especially the fact that his senses contained multiple Divine Platforms, and even the flesh and blood of those at the peak of the Divine Platform…

Erniu trembled with excitement, even feeling an urge to cry.

“Could it be that my good luck has finally arrived?!” “

I encountered so much food as soon as I appeared. Back in that godforsaken place, Huangtian, I was chased even for stealing a Divine Platform, but here… it’s everywhere, and nobody wants it!”

“I’m rich!”

Erniu excitedly pounced on it, but a hint of doubt and wariness of his surroundings lingered in his heart.

“These gods looked like they had just died. Who killed them? The method was extremely cruel!”
