Outside of Time - Chapter 1308

Chapter 1286 This is…the First Ceremony!

Above the primordial mother star’s firmament, runic chains shimmered with a grey light.

It was a light that extinguished all existence, whether gods or cultivators, divine authority or constitution, rules or laws.

Before it, there was a difference in their levels.

It seemed that this light from the umbilical cord of the gods could shatter all logic of the thirty-six ascending star rings.

Therefore, to counter it with ascending power, more was needed; it had to be worn down by sheer quantity.

Only by possessing power truly equal to its own could it be neutralized equally.

This was also why the Aurora Young Master, even with the longsword formed from the power of the fifth star ring’s fortune, still couldn’t sever it, only causing the runic chains to pause.

And the Aurora Young Master, worthy of being a peerless genius, had actually found a way to counter it the moment he saw the runic chains fall.

This true counter… was the divine spark within his body! It was a divine spark

containing the authority of the Upper Wilderness’s destiny, stolen by the God Venerable years ago.

Furthermore, because Shanghuang was in a state of half-step divinity, his divine core actually possessed power equal to or even surpassing that of the runic chains.

Therefore, using a divine core of this level to withstand the power of the runic chains was naturally the best choice.

However, Aurora Shao’s main goal… wasn’t merely to rely on his divine core to resist.

What he wanted was to use the vibration between his divine core and the runic chains to sever the causal link between his divine core and himself!

That was the causal link with Shanghuang!

So at this moment, with his eyes swirling, gathering the combined power of gods and immortals, he leaped from mid-air, unleashing unprecedented power.

The fourth and fifth star rings, absorbed and driven by him using himself as a vessel, exploded, forming a long sword woven from gold and silver. He

would sever the divine runic chains once more!

The instant they collided, the heavens and earth trembled, the starry sky roared, and both the primordial mother planet itself and the external void experienced violent turbulence in that instant.

It was as if a terrifying storm was sweeping everything away.

Thus, the divine path of the fourth star ring wailed once more. The fortune

of the fifth star ring also surged violently.

The falling chain of runes paused again, but although some of the gray light within it was neutralized by the divine path of the fourth and fortunes of the fifth star ring, a considerable amount still flowed along the longsword.

In an instant, it surged into the Aurora Young Master’s body, unleashing an extreme destructive force, sweeping through him like a tidal wave.

The Aurora Young Master trembled violently, blood flowing from his seven orifices, yet his eyes held a ruthless glint.

The next instant, his divine core rose brilliantly with golden light, directly colliding with the incoming gray light.

Both were shaken.

In this tremor, the causal threads connecting the divine core and the Aurora Young Master also trembled, some seemingly about to break. At the

critical moment, the Aurora Young Master did not hesitate, slashing once more!

The heavens and earth shook, and the sword light erupted continuously with the Aurora Young Master’s swing.

The third strike, the fourth strike, the fifth strike!

Each strike caused the chains to vibrate, his divine essence to tremble, and the causal threads to be stretched to their limits.

After nine strikes, a madness rose within the Aurora Prince. His left hand stretched out, bursting forth with golden light.

His right hand swung, gleaming with extreme silver light.

Then, with a simultaneous movement of both hands, he grabbed the rune chain before him, his expression twisted into a ferocious grimace, uttering a low growl that echoed simultaneously in the fourth and fifth star rings.

His divine essence within him roared, and amidst this intense vibration, a ball of fire rose, flowing from the Aurora Prince’s hands and surging into the rune chain!

The rune chain instantly ignited, the fire spreading rapidly.

But it didn’t melt immediately; instead, it shimmered with a gray light, rapidly eroding against the flames.

During this erosion, the Aurora Prince’s divine essence and the threads within him all showed signs of being unable to withstand the collision of this power.

Until the next instant, the divine essence and the runes seemed to reach a critical point…

trembling violently simultaneously!

The divine spark roared, rapidly shrinking until it became fragmented, reduced to the size of a fingernail.

Yet, the terrifying power it displayed surpassed its previous size.

It was as if, in the struggle against the rune chain, the divine spark had been purified!

The impurities were expelled, leaving behind the purest, supreme divine spark containing the power of a half-step god of the Upper Wilderness!

Simultaneously, the causal lines connecting the divine spark to the Aurora Young Master began an irreversible break, severing in an instant!

On the broken surfaces of those causal lines, images of the Aurora Young Master’s ascension to godhood shone

, dissipating along with his divinity .

As for the outside world, the rune chain was finally worn down to the point where it could no longer withstand the flames. At this moment…

the rune chain burst into flames!

Visibly burning to ash!

Each scattering grain of ash emitted a sound like a broken chime, echoing through heaven and earth.

During this process, a sound like a surging river gradually resounded around the Aurora Young Master.

That was the sound of newly born immortal energy flowing.

Terrifying immortal power belonging to the Immortal Lord level rapidly spread along the fifth star ring star map Dao patterns etched on the Dao bones of the Aurora Young Master, causing the Dao bones to gleam with a brilliant silver light wherever it passed.

This, in turn, affected the Golden Light Young Master’s form, causing him to gradually shed his divine appearance and revert to the form of a cultivator!

It was as if his humanity was erupting, his divinity rapidly fading.

His hair, too, turned from gold to white at this moment, gradually radiating a brilliance like the Milky Way. His

immortal aura surged to its peak.

Thus, the heavens roared, the divine path howled, and the fortune of the fifth star ring surged magnificently.

And at this moment, the Aurora Immortal Lord did something no one had anticipated: he raised his right hand, flowing with the fortune of the fifth star ring, and

pointed it suddenly at Xu Qing, who was gazing at this scene from afar!

“Xu Qing, you were first the Lord of the Aurora Immortal Palace and even the Outer Heavens, deserving the nourishment of this era’s founding fortune. Later, as a True Lord, you possess the power to bestow fortune upon others!” “

Furthermore, you assisted the Fifth Star Ring and me in achieving this unparalleled feat!”

“Today, I present you with two gifts.”

“This is… the first!”

“It is also the first decree issued by me, Mi Ming, upon becoming an Immortal Lord and taking over the Fifth Star Ring!”

“Fifth Star Ring fortune, go!”

As Mi Ming spoke, his decree was supreme, causing the Fifth Star Ring’s fortune to erupt directly, a portion of which transformed into a long dragon of fortune that rushed straight towards Xu Qing.

In an instant, as Xu Qing’s heart pounded, this dragon of fortune roared, echoing the Fifth Star Ring, and surged directly into… Xu Qing’s body!

Xu Qing’s cultivation exploded at that moment!

The nourishment of fortune contained the purest source essence, and even more so, the will of all living beings, like a rule bestowed, a law recognized, and imbued with Mi Ming’s identity and decree.

Everything was made legitimate!

Thus, this unparalleled opportunity was born!

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded from within Xu Qing’s body. Under the nourishment of this fortune, his cultivation directly broke through the mid-stage of Quasi-Immortal, becoming… a late-stage Quasi-Immortal!

An astonishing aura erupted from him, sweeping outwards, while his cultivation… continued to climb under the influx of this rainbow of fortune!

Because Xu Qing, after comprehending the Ninth Extreme, also known as the Union of Universes and the Overlapping of the Constitution, already possessed the conditions for reaching the peak of Quasi-Immortal.

What he lacked was only Origin Essence!

This was why he had been constantly searching for Origin Essence.

However, the amount of Origin Essence required for advancement to the Quasi-Immortal stage was enormous, and his own absorption was also problematic, hence his slow progress.

Now, under this fortuitous opportunity, what he had lacked was replenished all at once, and with the blessing of good fortune, his absorption was no longer hindered.

Thus, in the next instant, Xu Qing’s aura roared once more, directly advancing from the late Quasi-Immortal stage to the Great Perfection of Quasi-Immortal.

That is… the peak of Quasi-Immortal!

It was even overflowing!

He continuously raised the upper limit of this realm, reaching an unprecedented extreme!

A terrifying pressure erupted from Xu Qing, transforming into a monstrous force, radiating an intent to annihilate all directions.

This aura surpassed all previous peak Quasi-Immortals throughout history!

Even some Xia Immortals were inferior in terms of aura!

This was Xu Qing’s… culmination

of accumulated strength! A dazzling silver light even formed!

This color, originally belonging to the Xia Immortals, flowed through his entire body in an instant, finally converging in his eyes, forming a pair of silver eyes!

At this moment, he had silver eyes, black hair…

his cultivation wasn’t that of an immortal, but it surpassed that of an immortal!

All he lacked was the tenth level!

That is, the Constitutional Law!

Once Xu Qing comprehended it, his cultivation could break through instantly, truly entering the ranks of the Xia Immortals!

That was also the day he had set for himself, the day of returning to the ancient world!

Such a destiny filled Xu Qing’s heart with intense emotions.

He took a deep breath, sensing the terrifying fluctuations within his body, and after recognizing his future path, he raised his head and looked at the Aurora Young Master in mid-air. He

clasped his hands and bowed deeply!

In mid-air, the Aurora Young Master, seeing Xu Qing’s successful breakthrough, was overjoyed and laughed loudly.

Without any further reservation, the last causal thread connecting his body to the divine core… was severed in that instant!

It was no longer connected to him.

The aura of a Celestial Lord emanating from him erupted completely and without reservation, reaching its peak, causing the Fourth Star Ring to tremble and the Fifth Star Ring to resonate with joy!

His form also completely reverted to his original human appearance!

He had truly returned to himself!

He had completed the entire process of transforming from Celestial to God, becoming a God-Lord, and then from God to Celestial.

He had become the… Celestial Lord of the Fifth Star Ring!

Celestial Lord Miming!

At the same time, his relationship with the Fourth Star Ring, though seemingly severed, still existed in reality.

The name of the sun and moon, left in the River of True Names, remained eternally.

This made Celestial Lord Miming, like an unprecedented nail, deeply embedded in the rules of the Fourth Star Ring!

Unshakable.

As if eternally leaving his own constitution.

Indelible.

He would be the first being within the Fifth Star Ring to possess both the blessing of the Fifth Star Ring’s fortune and the ability to shake the divine logic of the Fourth Star Ring! He

would achieve… the strongest Celestial Lord within both star rings!

Calling him a half-step Celestial Venerable would not be an exaggeration!
