Outside of Time - Chapter 1321

Chapter 1299 Shanghuang Opens Its Eyes!

A wave that made the Fourth Star Ring, and even the entire Thirty-Six Ascending Star Rings, trembled slightly in that instant.

Within the rift, the crimson light that surged instantly in Li Zhu’s skeletal eyes flickered like a candle flame blown by the wind.

Then… it retreated rapidly, recklessly, retreating violently backward.

But it was too late.

In that instant, all the Ascending Rings fell into absolute silence!

Gods, cultivators, all living beings, countless stars, everything, at this moment, their minds went blank.

It was as if a pair of eyes that transcended dimensions had changed their position from where they were originally looking, looking at… the starry sky!

It was a gaze that transcended time and space.

It was the enormous remnant in the sky above the Ancient Continent within the Ninth Star Ring, which at this moment… raised its head.

It opened its eyes completely!

And so, within this Fourth Star Ring, outside this rift, in the gap of the folds of time and space, a golden pupil appeared silently.

Within, the entire rift was reflected.

The moment it was looked at,

the skeletal remains within the rift froze, trembling like never before. Directly under this gaze, a piercing scream emanated from its body, and the remaining divine halos on its body shattered one after another.

The old god’s power to conceal its consciousness also shattered at this moment, allowing the skeletal remains of the god to regain their senses.

But in that instant of recovery, its mind was enveloped by death.

Along with its body, it rapidly dissipated, as if erased, as if swallowed by nothingness.

At the same time, everything within this rift was undergoing drastic change!

A sharp, friction-like roar arose, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the rift, spreading rapidly, each crack emitting a trembling sound like shattering glass.

The entire space, like an eggshell being gnawed by a giant beast, peeled away layer by layer in an instant.

It collapsed with a deafening roar.

The divine chains within also trembled at this moment, the divine runes on their surfaces exploding one after another, completely disintegrating.

Spacetime itself was in turmoil, twisted invisibly.

Collapsing black holes became vortexes, appearing within this distortion. They

frantically tore apart all fragments of spacetime present, forcibly merging them without any logic,

forming nonexistent phantom worlds.

This scene caused a tremendous upheaval in Xu Qing’s mind, who was still within the rift’s exit.

He saw his own reflection in one of these phantom worlds.

There, he was drinking with Er Niu, his expression… one of utter terror.

Before Xu Qing could see more clearly, the spacetime within the rift, like crumpled paper, began to intertwine and overlap with fragments from different timelines.

Er Niu, nestled within Xu Qing’s hair, was in turmoil. He seemed to see his childhood in this life appearing in the void, while in another fragment, his adult form was simultaneously experiencing the excruciating pain of a shattered soul.

All these sensations converged and erupted towards him,

creating a chaotic upheaval that overturned everything.

Xu Qing was also deeply shaken. His constitution resonated with the current spacetime distortion, and within this chaotic vortex, he saw his past, present, and future.

Countless avatars were making different choices, each triggering subtle changes in the universe.

These scenes caused his constitution to fluctuate rapidly.

An even more bizarre scene unfolded at this moment.

In one fragment, on the divine bones forming the altar, crystal-like branches sprouted, rapidly transforming into fruit trees.

The fruits, however, were miniature versions of Xu Qing and Er Niu. One of

the miniature Er Niu on a branch suddenly turned its head, revealing a sinister smile to its original form.

The instant he saw this smile, Xu Qing’s left ear was scratched, and the blood mingled with the nearby spacetime dust, instantly freezing into frost. From the sound of the frost solidifying, he vaguely heard his own scream three breaths later.

This was the echo of a voice from the future.

Spacetime was in chaos.

As for the bronze coffin in the distance, it too trembled violently amidst this series of dramatic changes,

seemingly resisting.

The patterns on the outer layer of the coffin were visibly crumbling, revealing the liquid divine source flowing within the middle layer.

That divine source was also dissipating, and countless pale, withered hands, imbued with ancient meaning, reached out from within, struggling to emerge.

But before the gazes of those outside the cracks, they withered and turned to ashes.

Then, in the next instant, the trembling coffin suddenly emitted a blazing white light, followed by a deafening roar.

The bronze coffin collapsed and exploded!

Fragments transformed into millions of bronze falcons, scattering in all directions.

A decaying figure burst forth from within!

Its exact appearance was unclear; only its decay was palpable, and golden ribbons of light flowed around it, each ray radiating supreme divine power.

And upon appearing, it did not pause, nor utter a divine sound, but instead fled into the distance at its absolute speed, shattering the void!

In that instant, all the supreme beings of the entire Thirty-Six Star Rings were in turmoil, all gazing upon this place. Within this rift, spacetime was in chaos, and nothingness continued to collapse.

Everything was dissipating.

Even though Xu Qing had a karmic connection with Shanghuang and had survived multiple near-death experiences while his eyes were open, the chaos of this spacetime was still incredibly dangerous for him.

There was no way to escape.

At the same time, the vortexes and black holes that appeared here were all sources of spacetime turbulence.

Xu Qing knew that if he were drawn in, he would be trapped and unable to leave.

Fortunately, he possessed the power of spacetime awareness and the power of merging universes, which allowed him to barely struggle and move around in this chaos and distortion. However, his

body and soul were out of control, being pulled apart in this distorted spacetime, and the screams of Erniu in his ears became faint and illusory.

Even parts of Xu Qing’s body had already turned into particles of light, seemingly trying to merge with the chaos here.

As for Erniu, he was also in danger. His body was disintegrating, with only his teeth still tightly gripping Xu Qing’s hair, but this didn’t stop his screams.

One of the countless fragments that had been ejected from the collapsing coffin was now being carried by the turbulent currents, striking Xu Qing, tearing through his flesh and embedding itself inside, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Xu Qing couldn’t care less about that; he understood that this place was completely chaotic and constantly collapsing, about to turn into nothingness, equally dangerous.

At this critical moment, Xu Qing suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

“This scene…it seems familiar!”

Xu Qing’s mind jolted. He suddenly recalled how, in the illusion of the God of Pain, he was pursued by the God Lord and forced to enter the temporal turbulence, where he found Xia Xian’s opportunity.

This scene, though different, was still similar.

“Its illusion contains true…could it be…”

Thinking this, Xu Qing paused for a moment, then his eyes hardened. He manipulated his power, transforming it into fine threads that enveloped him, weaving a cocoon.

Then, he charged towards a vortex of black holes.

Entering the temporal turbulence!
