Outside of Time - Chapter 1314

Chapter 1292 Swallowed in One Bite (Second Update!)

The true god, whose body was a ball of flesh and blood, flowing with viscous fluid and exuding deadly poison, saw this scene and its flesh and blood began to writhe faster.

It was about to break through the void and disappear in an instant.

But in the next instant, the Xia Immortal Commander’s body swayed and appeared directly behind this true god. As he raised his left hand, his whole body shone with silver light, and the power of the Xia Immortal once again erupted, blocking its path.

This made the true god pause.

“Xu Qing, you and I join forces, we…”

Before the Xia Immortal Commander could finish speaking, Xu Qing had already arrived at this moment with the power of ten thousand immortals. With a wave of his hand, a fingernail appeared in front of him. The

moment this fingernail appeared, a terrifying power burst forth from within.

It distorted the starry sky and collapsed the void. Although the pressure it emitted was not as great as the previous bridge, it was still shocking to everyone.

It was a Dao artifact!

The moment it appeared, it absorbed all the spacetime shadows behind Xu Qing and gathered them into itself, becoming a beam of light interwoven with gold and silver.

It pierced through the void towards the true god.

The speed was so fast, it approached in an instant, piercing through.

In a moment, the true god trembled all over, visibly collapsing. All the poison dissipated, along with the poisonous plum within, becoming part of nothingness.

Even his soul was destroyed! Body and soul

annihilated!

This scene was too fast. Xu Qing’s attack was extremely swift, and both his aura and the terror of his fingernails were earth-shattering.

Even the Xia Immortal Commander was deeply shaken, and at this moment, looking at Xu Qing…

her expression hardened.

“This is not a quasi-immortal… this is clearly a Xia Immortal!

Even with a Dao artifact in hand, an ordinary Xia Immortal would have to be cautious when encountering this person.”

“Especially in his current state, he is only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through!”

“He possesses everything, his immortal embryo is fully formed, and he is about to become an immortal. All he needs is the advancement of Xian!”

Seeing Xu Qing’s state, the Xia Immortal Commander spoke solemnly.

“True Lord, please wait!”

At the same time, the surrounding gods were all inwardly roaring and frantically fleeing, while the cultivators were extremely excited in this narrow escape.

They all bowed to Xu Qing, then pursued the fleeing deity.

The Xia Immortal Commander also went with them.

Without a true god, the remaining deities in the area were quickly eliminated by the Xia Immortal Commander and her subordinates. Having

completed their mission, the Xia Immortal female cultivator returned to Xu Qing’s side, clasping her hands in a bow.

“Thank you for your help!”

the Xia Immortal female cultivator said sincerely.

Xu Qing remained composed, returned the bow, and then conversed with the Xia Immortal.

After understanding the current situation on the battlefield, Xu Qing took his leave amidst the gazes of the Xia Immortal and her subordinates.

Watching Xu Qing’s figure disappear into the starry sky, the Xia Immortal Commander’s heart was also filled with turmoil.

“The name of the True Lord, the blessing of fortune, and the younger brother of the Immortal Lord of Seeking Enlightenment… In the current Fifth Star Ring, he is undoubtedly of the highest esteem!”

“And his own combat power is astonishing… The next time we meet, he will surely have broken through and become a Xia Immortal.”

Thinking of this, the Xia Immortal commander suddenly had a thought.

“He seems to be without a Daoist partner…”

…

Xu Qing was unaware of the thoughts of that Xia Immortal female cultivator. At this moment, he was walking in the starry sky, wandering within the Fourth Star Ring.

The deeper he went, the more he could see the devastation of the Fourth Star Ring.

Everywhere, there were fragments of stars and remnants of divine kingdoms.

The traces of war were boundless within this Fourth Star Ring.

The entire area was desolate.

There was no starlight, nor the golden light of the divine kingdoms.

It seemed that most of the Fourth Star Ring had fallen into endless darkness.

Only the supply stars that spread from the Fifth Star Ring had become the only light in the Fourth Star Ring, and the war, with the cultivators holding the upper hand, was in its final stages.

“According to that commander, the final battle in the fourth star ring is divided into two parts. One is the cultivator army continuously compressing the last area where the gods are gathered.

The other is the cleanup of the surrounding battlefields and remnants, using each supply star as a starting point.

The former is usually composed of warrior-cultivator legions, while the latter… is mostly composed of looting teams combined with garrison squads.”

Xu Qing pondered, thinking of Zhou Zhengli and his group.

“We can also find their traces through the supply stars along the way.”

Recalling his comrades, a smile appeared on Xu Qing’s lips.

“I wonder how they are now…”

And so, time passed.

Xu Qing wandered within the fourth star ring, searching for opportunities to break through. He

also encountered some surviving gods during this time.

However, with his current cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal realm and the combat power to fight against Xia Xian, as long as he didn’t encounter a peak True God or a God Lord, it wouldn’t be a problem.

In addition, he also contacted Zhou Zhengli through the supply stars, and after confirming their location, Xu Qing changed his direction and continued to approach their location.

At the same time, the funeral procession led by Zhou Zhengli had just completed a battlefield mission and was returning to their supply star after a period of leave.

During the time Xu Qing was missing in the Goddess Trade Battle, Zhou Zhengli and the others had all grown considerably.

They participated in the final assault on the Fourth Star Ring, earning some merit, and upholding the funeral procession’s tradition of looting corpses on the battlefield while also gathering fresh blood. Their

cultivation levels had improved significantly.

Now, not only were all members quasi-immortals, but Xing Huanzi had even reached the mid-stage of quasi-immortal, not far from the late stage.

As for Xie Lingzi and Yuan Shansu, they were also on the verge of breaking through to the early stage of quasi-immortal.

Qian Junpiyi was in the same state, and their mentality was even better than when Xu Qing was around; that carefree feeling made the two brothers extremely proud. Only Zhou

Zhengli’s cultivation level hadn’t changed much, but he was good at concealing his abilities, making it difficult for others to directly judge his true state.

At this moment, after returning to the supply star, seeing everyone about to leave, Zhou Zhengli smiled and spoke.

“Everyone, I have good news to tell you. I have contacted the young master, and he is on his way to our supply planet.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions varied.

Xie Lingzi narrowed his eyes, suppressing the arrogance that had risen within him recently.

Yuan Shansu seemed somewhat dazed.

Xing Huanzi remained expressionless, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. The

one who reacted most strongly was Qian Junpiyi. These two swordsmen had been smugly discussing where to go next when they heard Zhou Zhengli’s words. Their bodies trembled instantly, their hearts shaking.

Then, they dispersed.

Watching their departing figures on the supply star, Zhou Zhengli’s smile remained unchanged, and a surge of excitement rose in his heart.

Compared to the others, he and Li Mengtu, who was cultivating outside and had not yet returned, were the ones who most wanted Xu Qing to return, because their initial following had yielded the greatest reward at the moment when the Immortal Lord of Seeking the Brightness was shocked by the Fifth Star Ring.

During this time, he could clearly feel the importance that the cultivators of the Fifth Star Ring placed on them, and the supply star they were on was completely open to them.

Even Xia Xian, who guarded the supply star, was quite polite to them.

All of this made Zhou Zhengli extremely proud of his choice back then.

As for the thoughts of others, Zhou Zhengli understood them perfectly well and paid them no heed.

He knew that all their petty schemes, from the moment Xu Qing helped the Aurora Young Master, were doomed to fail and would vanish with Xu Qing’s arrival.

So, watching their departing figures, he chuckled and decided to wait there to greet Xu Qing immediately.

Meanwhile, the departing individuals each took different actions.

Xie Lingzi immediately went into seclusion, the broken sword within him trembling.

“That one has returned. If you dare continue what you told me, I have no objection, but… do you still dare?”

Xie Lingzi spoke in a low voice, the broken sword within him radiating exasperation.

The Qianjun Biyi brothers, however, had no interest in playing around anymore. They swiftly returned to their cave dwelling and immediately began to discuss their plans.

“What do we do… that guy’s back!” “We’re doomed   , we’re

doomed! We’ve been eating too well lately, our swords are incredibly sharp, he’ll definitely be tempted when he sees them!” “It’s all your fault, I told you not to eat so much!”   ”It’s all your fault, you ate first!”   Amidst the brothers’ intense mutual recriminations, Xing Huanzi had already left the supply star, transforming into a long rainbow in the starry sky, returning to the hidden cave he had carved out outside.   It was a fragment of a star, which he had discovered and chosen to cultivate within.   Now, sitting cross-legged, Xing Huanzi’s eyes gleamed.   ”Although the gap is widening… Xu Qing, I won’t allow myself to fall too far behind!”   Xing Huanzi murmured, raising his hand as a large amount of dust appeared out of thin air, gathering before him.   This dust was no ordinary thing; each grain carried a terrifying weight.   It was the Heavenly Principle!   Gazing at this dust, Xing Huanzi felt a surge of anticipation.   During this time, through his own efforts and the opportunities he had gained, he had finally refined his own Heavenly Principle to a greater extent.   This was his preparation for his future advancement to the Summer Immortal realm.   His path differed from Xu Qing’s.   Xu Qing hadn’t yet grasped his own Summer Immortal Constitution, while Xing Huanzi already knew his next Constitution was Heavenly Principle.   ”Finally, it’s almost refined. Just a few more days of refining, and this Heavenly Principle dust will be completely fused with me!”   ”At that time, the only thing I lack to advance to Summer Immortal is the step of nourishing the immortal embryo with source matter!”   Thinking this, Xing Huanzi’s heart hardened. He formed hand seals, immersing himself completely in the process, continuing the refinement.   But just then, an unexpected event occurred!   His cave dwelling, without any warning, suddenly twisted and transformed into a gigantic maw!   This maw looked as if it were made of greed, like the mouth of a mad dog.   In the instant it appeared, it unhesitatingly swallowed the Heavenly Principle dust before Xing Huanzi in one gulp!   Cleanly, not a single grain remained!   Then it vanished instantly!   Only a satisfied burp echoed through the cave dwelling.   All of this happened too suddenly.   Xing Huanzi was stunned for a moment, then his mind surged, his eyes widened in fury, and a deafening roar erupted from his mouth!   His cultivation level exploded to an unprecedented level! —Still   writing, more to come!
