Outside of Time - Chapter 1343
Chapter 1320 Stained by Foul Destiny, Righteousness Amidst Chaos
“Infinite!”
Xu Qing stood atop the sky, gazing at the ancient immortal reflected in the Well of Myriad Realms, and all the causes and destinies around him.
He admitted that this ancient immortal truly deserved the title of a prodigy!
Such a constitution… Even with his extensive experience and numerous battles in the Fifth Star Ring, Xu Qing had never encountered someone possessing such a constitution.
To some extent, this was beyond the grasp of ordinary Xia Immortals; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was incredibly close to the level of an Immortal Lord.
“He’s a level stronger than he was half a century ago!”
Xu Qing murmured to himself.
Meanwhile, in the well, the aged ancient immortal also looked up at Xu Qing.
The two were separated by the water, one above, one below.
The convergence of their gazes caused the Ancient Continent to tremble, mountains to crumble, and the wind and clouds to change color. The oppressive force of the powerful aura weighed heavily on the hearts of all races. As the
indescribable palpitations arose, the ancient immortal’s hoarse voice echoed in all directions.
“Countless were the beginning of my constitution. To perfect it, I scattered countless divine thoughts, creating countless avatars, even relinquishing control so that any avatar could become the main body.
Afterwards, I allowed all avatars to grow, devour, and merge…
Even though the original me vanished during this process, the Dao remained!
Until finally, I achieved Dao, my constitution became infinite!
Returning to this place, I condensed the power of law, searching for something, all for this final leap.”
“And you… I can see, you were also before this leap.”
The ancient immortal’s gaze was profound, devoid of joy or sorrow. As he spoke, he raised his right foot, taking a step forward.
The instant this step landed, the well surface roared, and the well water surged with enormous waves.
It was as if a great wind was sweeping across, about to form a storm.
It shook heaven and earth, shook the cosmos, shook everything.
The space within Xu Qing’s Moon-Retrieving Divine Power in the Well trembled instantly, the illusion and reality within it distorted, and all the independence that constituted this divine power showed signs of collapse at this moment.
It seemed unable to withstand it!
“As for your Xian, I have seen it before. Ten thousand years ago, in the twenty-seventh star ring, there was a deity who was very similar to your Xian.”
“A single thought encompasses ten thousand worlds, the universe is parallel, condensing the flower of spacetime, seeking to bear the fruit of the Dao.”
The ancient immortal’s voice still echoed as he took his second step.
With this second step, a cracking sound came from the well’s surface. Cracks appeared in the void, in spacetime, in parallel universes, and in all worlds.
The well water, too, became turbid in this turbidity.
The turbidity was composed of… the infinite karma and infinite destiny emanating from this ancient immortal!
Thus, reality and illusion, truth and falsehood, reached their limit and began to disintegrate.
This upgraded “Well-Piercing Moon” divine power experienced an irreversible collapse.
“But you are ultimately still too young.”
The ancient immortal shook his head and took his third step.
With this step, the heavens and earth shattered.
The Well of Ten Thousand Worlds suddenly collapsed, and reality and illusion scattered in all directions.
The world created by trying to scoop the moon from a well seemed to shatter into pieces, collapsing in all directions amidst the roar. The
ancient immortal’s figure, however, was restored to its original form under the collapse of this divine power, its appearance drastically changed.
Though still wrinkled and aged, the silver light in its eyes shone brighter than ever before! Its
long hair, now entirely silver, spread behind it like a galaxy, creating a unique aura.
Seven-colored immortal mist swirled around its body, showcasing its immortal might! Its
aura surged to the heavens, stirring up the tides of heaven and earth, pulling starlight down.
Its very existence became an infinite force.
A terrifying pressure erupted, unleashing a devastating, overwhelming force, about to take its fourth step towards Xu Qing.
“You talk too much, it’s a bit noisy,”
Xu Qing said calmly.
The opponent’s power was indeed astonishing, pushing his own supernatural abilities to their absolute limit, like a tiger breaking free of its cage and shattering a withered barrier, causing his supernatural powers to collapse.
But often, what restrains a tiger doesn’t necessarily have to be a sturdy cage!
Flexible vines can also work!
So, a glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes, and he raised his right hand, pressing it down.
Instantly, the scattered fragments of supernatural power changed.
“Open a parallel world!”
In an instant, the countless fragments of collapsed supernatural power had their inner nature directly altered, becoming individual mirrors. As they swirled and scattered, they refracted the infinite causes and destinies of the ancient immortals, reflecting different scenes.
In each mirror, at that moment, the traces of an ancient immortal appeared!
That was a parallel world, a different world in a different time and space!
And the ancient immortals in these worlds were not all cultivators!
Some were mortals, some were ferocious beasts, some were plants, and even their genders differed—some were male, some were female, some were male and female!
Then…
Xu Qing’s raised right hand suddenly turned, his gaze icy, and he uttered a low shout.
“Reverse!”
With a single word, parallel worlds reversed, and chaos erupted across all realms!
All the mirrors distorted, revealing unimaginable changes within them.
One could see the refracted projections of ancient immortals’ karma and destiny within those mirrors being forcibly reversed and altered; men became women, women became men, and vice versa.
Some even saw cultivators transform into mortals, humans into livestock, and livestock into objects—all completely reversed. Moreover
, natural disasters appeared one after another within these parallel realms!
Crimson stars fell, burning mountains and splitting seas; spiritual rivers overflowed, swallowing cities.
Especially noteworthy was one mirror containing a world-protecting immortal tree, a reflection of the karma of an ancient immortal, now rotting from its roots, its branches laden with blood-red tears.
This was Xu Qing using the unifying power of his Constitutional Law to adjust the independence of each entity separated from the others in all parallel worlds and timelines.
He changed everything, completely reversing it, turning a solid cage into a supple vine!
And thus affecting the original entity.
Using chaos to restore order!
In the next instant, all the mirrors turned towards the ancient immortal, and Xu Qing’s right hand, which had been rotating, suddenly clenched!
“Return to One!”
These two words echoed, and all the mirrors shattered on their own. The inverted cause and effect, and destiny within them, instantly dispersed, surging towards the ancient immortal like a torrent of evil.
They polluted his infinite karma and tainted his infinite destiny.
The ancient immortal, about to take his fourth step towards Xu Qing, abruptly stopped. He saw his causal threads being gnawed by an invisible force, his destiny being invaded. The once clear, glass-like threads of destiny were instantly covered in grime,
like a spiritual spring polluted by the blood of a rotting corpse.
The gold faded to dark brown, and at the ends, hideous, tumor-like lumps formed.
And it seemed irreversible!
All of this manifested in his body; the spiderweb-like wrinkles on his aged face now became real cracks, bursting open!
The silver light in his eyes, symbolizing immortality, also rapidly dimmed, materializing into fine silver dust that fell in a flurry, revealing cloudy eyeballs.
His once flowing, snow-white hair, like a silver river, was now withered and curled, the ends speckled with charred black spots, like embers scorched by the fires of fate.
The seven-colored immortal mist that surrounded him had become murky and sticky, like rotten spiritual liquid clinging to his robes, leaving patches of mold.
His immortal power was the same, now leaking outwards along the cracks formed by the wrinkles on his body, becoming wisps of black, turbid gas. Some of it flowed backwards within his body, causing his bones and blood to boil like molten lava wherever it passed.
He spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with icy crystals, and the ancient immortal staggered backward.
He struggled to circulate his immortal power, only to find that the immortal might that once moved at will was now shrouded in layers of mist; the immortal light condensed at his fingertips turned into ashen moths, fluttering and falling to the ground.
But the most deadly pollution came from the depths of his soul.
Countless fragments of disordered memories raged through his sea of consciousness.
It was a storm brought about by all the defiled causes and conditions of fate.
Everything became distorted, like a painting sprinkled with poison powder, every vibrant color a deadly poison, stinging his soul.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and a thousand overlapping curses echoed in his ears—the backlash from all the thoughts he had devoured in his life.
In the pollution of cause and effect, they had forgotten their vows of seeking the Dao, remembering only the resentment of being devoured and dissipated.
Thus, his aura began to decline, gradually turning him from an immortal into a mortal.
It seemed that with just a gentle push, he would vanish into nothingness, his life force extinguished.
But… Xu Qing did not step forward; he simply stood there, calmly watching everything.
After a long while, the ancient immortal slowly raised his head.
“What a reversal!”
“And this pollution is clearly complete, yet you can still restrain yourself, not approaching me…”
The ancient immortal looked at Xu Qing, his voice hoarse.
Xu Qing remained calm, speaking softly.
“At the beginning of your constitution, there were countless elements; at its culmination, it is infinite. But I don’t believe you haven’t developed legal power.
Yet your law… has always been hidden by you.”
“Since you’re unwilling to reveal it easily, then now, will you use it or not?”
The ancient immortal remained silent.
After a long while, he suddenly smiled.
“I entered the game myself, observing that your constitution is at its extreme parallel, and also judging your legal power.”
“And you, suppressing it with force, want to observe my law.”
“But I have a feeling that your observation of my law is merely a facade… You seem to be waiting for something.”
After saying this, the ancient immortal’s cloudy eyes regained their brilliant silver light.
“What are you waiting for?”
Xu Qing looked at the ancient immortal, his eyes carrying a profound meaning.
“What you’re waiting for is what I’m waiting for, and time stands with me.”
The ancient immortal’s pupils contracted.
