Outside of Time - Chapter 1319

Chapter 1297 Lying in the coffin, disaster struck from the outside

. Erniu went mad.

Xu Qing’s words were more tempting to him than anything else, second only to stealing the flesh and blood of the Upper Wilderness.

Stealing the flesh and blood of the Upper Wilderness was a coincidence, aided by the power of the Divine Realm’s ascension, and he only stole a few scraps. But now… it was half a God Lord!

Especially with the stimulation of Xu Qing’s drastic change in cultivation, this half-God Lord’s corpse was Erniu’s greatest desire.

“The power contained in the flesh and blood of the Upper Wilderness, I can only slowly grind it down, licking and absorbing it bit by bit. If I lick too much, it will cause me to explode and perish.”

“As for the God Lord… although I can’t digest it either, it’s at least relatively easier than the flesh of the Upper Wilderness.”

“Plus the True God’s corpse that Little A Qing gave me, I’ve finally collected a complete set of gods!”

“Good days are coming!”

Erniu’s eyes were bloodshot, constantly gleaming. Like a vicious dog, he charged through the mist within the crack towards the direction he sensed.

At this moment, he couldn’t care about anything else.

Nothing was more important than food!

“My darling, I’m coming!!”

Almost the instant Erniu rushed forward, the countless divine chains binding the bronze coffin within the rift began to shake.

With the shaking, divine runes flashed on the chains, radiating an inexplicable power.

However, for some reason, this power was entirely contained within the chains, not dissipating outwards, seemingly reminding outsiders that as long as they didn’t touch the chains themselves, then… they would be safe.

Erniu, whether in this life or his previous one, was best at accomplishing great things.

Therefore, although he was unfamiliar with the fourth star ring, his experience in doing great things was abundant.

Because in his previous lives, every failure had come at the cost of death…

his experience naturally grew richer with each passing year.

Based on this, the instant he entered the rift, Erniu instinctively sensed where he could touch and where touching would mean certain death.

Thus, in Xu Qing’s eyes, Erniu, though unable to see his surroundings clearly within the mist, possessed an astonishing instinct, maintaining his speed without touching any of the divine chains.

Like a mouse, he darted swiftly through the gaps in the chains, heading straight for… the location of the corpse of the God of Destruction!

Seeing this, Xu Qing, worried for Erniu’s safety, lifted his foot and took a step forward, instantly stepping into the enormous rift ahead and entering the world within.

The moment he descended, the divine chains of this realm shone once more, and Xu Qing felt a strong sense of danger emanating from the chains and rising from the bronze coffin bound by them.

This caused Xu Qing to pause.

Every hair on his body stood on end, and a dense, strange substance emanated from the coffin and the chains, as did the half-corpse of the God of Destruction.

These strange substances gathered together, permeating this rift world, becoming a terrifying divine aura, causing Xu Qing’s flesh to show signs of mutation.

An overwhelming pressure, like a tidal wave, crashed down,

seemingly intent on pulverizing all outsiders!

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the fifth star ring’s fortune within Xu Qing’s body empowered him, counteracting the oppressive force and divine aura of the place.

Simultaneously, his true name shone brightly within his soul.

The opportunity that the Aurora Young Master had given Xu Qing to leave his mark on the primordial mother planet was now fully revealed.

With the flickering of that true name, the invasion of the alien substance dissipated, causing Xu Qing to breathe a sigh of relief and become even more curious about his senior brother’s origins.

Because even under such pressure, Er Niu was still moving through the mist.

His entire body shone with blue light, demonstrating that even someone with only the cultivation of a Dominator could neutralize the alien substance here.

“The origins of Senior Brother are shrouded in mystery. Could he truly be a Primal Demon?”

“Based on my experience, it seems only Primal Demons can disregard the aura and anomalies of gods… because the birth of gods is inextricably linked to Primal Demons.”

Xu Qing pondered, but according to his understanding of Primal Demons, such strange beings could not leave their home planet.

“Could it be that the Ancient Continent… is the original home planet of the Ninth Star Ring?”

Xu Qing’s mind jolted, and such an unbelievable guess arose in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

“Something still doesn’t quite add up. If he truly is a Primal Demon, and the Ninth Star Ring is indeed the original home planet, then why can Senior Brother leave…”

Xu Qing still had doubts about Senior Brother’s origins, and he knew this was not the time to ponder deeply, because in his deep gaze, Er Niu, in his madness, had found the correct path through the gaps in the divine chains and approached the corpse of the God of Destruction.

But the next moment, a sudden change occurred.

Almost the instant Erniu found the correct path and attempted to approach… he himself collapsed with a deafening roar, shattering into countless blue worms.

Xu Qing’s gaze sharpened, and he was about to move forward, but in the blink of an eye, those worms with Erniu’s faces, their eyes filled with madness, once again lunged at the corpse of the God of Destruction.

They wanted to get closer.

But the roar continued, and in the process, the worms continuously collapsed, shattering into dust in large swaths.

Erniu’s madness continued to erupt, and with flashes of blue light, the dust transformed into even more and smaller blue worms, still rushing

forward. And so, in this cycle, with each shattering and collapse, the number of blue worms that Erniu transformed into increased, one after another.

In this way, they finally approached the corpse!

Then all the blue worms emitted sharp cries.

“Little Qing, help me!!”

As their voices rang out, Xu Qing’s attack had already begun.

The power of the Immortal Embryo erupted, along with the laws of the universe, and the Dao artifact fingernail, radiating astonishing power, was flung out by Xu Qing.

It struck the corpse.

Immediately afterward, the swarm of blue worms that Er Niu had transformed into pounced on the corpse from all eight directions.

Just before they pounced, a pale golden light suddenly flashed on the corpse of the God Lord of Destruction.

As this light flashed, a terrifying pressure erupted from within.

Although Xu Qing countered it, the Immortal Embryo had collapsed, the laws of the universe trembled, and the power of the God Lord’s remnant corpse was still astonishing. However,

the power from the Dao artifact was ultimately effective, causing the golden light on the corpse to flicker.

But even so, Er Niu’s cultivation level could not withstand it.

In the blink of an eye, all the blue worms that he had transformed into collapsed again in the golden light, and this time not even a speck of dust remained, as if they had been wiped away into thin air.

But… Er Niu did not truly disappear.

Driven to such a desperate situation, and fueled by an insatiable greed for the flesh and blood of the God Lord, Erniu… unleashed some unknown special technique, undergoing a transformation!

Countless blue threads shone forth from the shattered blue worm, rapidly converging to form a blue ice hand.

This hand, entirely of blue ice and covered in ice spikes, exuded a primal aura the moment it appeared. An

ancient, primordial power also spread outwards.

Simultaneously, a fissure opened in the palm, like a gaping maw, reaching out to grab the corpse of the God Lord of Destruction!

It instantly collided with the golden light surrounding the corpse.

In the next instant, the blue ice hand melted, transforming back into countless blue threads, which, combined with Xu Qing’s Dao artifact power, desperately burrowed into the golden light.

Even though ninety-nine percent perished during the burrowing process, a few still managed to penetrate.

Filled with greed and madness, they rapidly spread towards the corpse,

attempting to engulf it.

This scene, seemingly difficult, was only difficult for Erniu. Xu Qing’s assessment was different.

His eyes flashed, a strange feeling rising in his mind.

“Although it’s just a corpse, it was a god-king in life, and that God-King of Destruction had a special divine status. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be this smooth… even if Senior Brother is special.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, suddenly looking up at the void above the corpse.

Although there was nothing but void where he looked, Xu Qing, relying on the blessing of his fifth star ring’s fortune, felt that there was likely a clue in the direction he was looking.

So he immediately spoke.

“Senior Brother, hurry!”

Within the golden light, the blue threads rapidly covering the corpse responded with a buzzing sound.

And Xu Qing’s feeling was correct.

At this moment, in the void he was gazing at, there was a figure that Xu Qing couldn’t see!

The figure’s existence was extremely special, its form illusory.

Its appearance was that of the God-King of Destruction!

He was in the process of returning!

After sustaining severe injuries, He fled to this place through His karmic connection with the being within the coffin, intending to conceal Himself and heal His wounds here.

However, His method of healing was quite unique.

He used death as a catalyst to initiate a process of return, allowing His severe and protracted injuries to instantly return Him to his peak condition.

This was His innate power, the might of His divine status!

As for the corpse, it was the anchor point, the fusion body He had prepared for His return.

If the corpse were removed, the anchor point would be deviated, affecting His return.

His original plan was excellent, and the chosen location was suitable, but plans are subject to change. His omniscience did not include Xu Qing, who possessed the divine status of destiny, nor the strangely shaped Er Niu.

Thus, seeing His corpse about to be taken away right before His eyes… At this critical moment, the consciousness of the God of Destruction fell upon the distant coffin.

“Please, Divine Lord, assist me.”

The coffin remained motionless.

“Divine Lord…”

“Silence!”

From within the coffin came a voice of a higher status, inaudible to Xu Qing and Er Niu, which struck the returning consciousness of the God Lord Li Zhu, creating a fierce storm.

“I do not wish to be entangled in such karma, so do not utter any more words!”

“A mere half-body is enough to be sacrificed!” Li Zhu

remained silent.

Meanwhile, the one within the coffin was also experiencing a surge of emotions, on high alert.

“One Shanghuang karma is already troublesome enough, and now two have arrived!”

“Shanghuang, starving to this day, can now use these two to keep an eye on this place at any time…”

“And the Fifth Star Ring Immortal Venerable is also making his plans!”

“Therefore, the safest option is to send Li Zhu’s body away so that these two can leave as soon as possible!”

As the God Lord within the coffin pondered these thoughts, the blue threads that Er Niu had transformed into, at Xu Qing’s prompting, accelerated to their limit, finally completely enveloping the half-body of the God Lord Li Zhu.

Then, they rolled up, forming a blue sea of light that swirled outwards.

From within came Er Niu’s exhilarated voice.

“It’s done, Little Aqing, let’s go!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing swayed, about to leave, but a strange feeling stirred within him, causing him to pause and turn his gaze to the bronze coffin bound by countless iron chains!

The moment he looked, the old deity inside the coffin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

At the same time, within the Ninth Star Ring, above the Ancient Continent, the enormous ruin, a calamity to all living beings, its eyes, which had been closed, suddenly stirred.

It seemed about to open!
