Outside of Time - Chapter 1345

Chapter 1322 Behind the Scenes!

The Immortal is the Constitution!

And after the Constitution collapses, it’s as if the character for Immortal has vanished from the mountain, leaving

only… humanity.

Just like the ancient immortal, his body staggering backward, etched in the sky.

He looked at his crumbling palm and saw that the causal Dao traces that once made him omnipotent were now transforming into the light of the setting sun, flowing with their final brilliance across his tattered skin.

Within the light, countless light butterflies could be seen, each a manifestation of his past karma and destiny, but now… as they flew away, these light butterflies struggled, seemingly having lost their origin, and began to dissipate.

Looking at this, the ancient immortal smiled bitterly.

His entire being seemed to have been drained of its essence, and decay descended upon him once more.

The wrinkles on his face cracked again, the karma he had replaced erupted once more, his full head of silver hair bent again, each strand falling out!

Even the vast immortal body behind him trembled.

His aura, from its previous peak of constitutional eruption, collapsed instantly like a breached dam.

At the same time, mouthfuls of blood containing his immortal essence uncontrollably gushed from his mouth.

The blood emitted a foul stench in mid-air, transforming into countless crimson mists as it fell, dissipating in all directions.

This scene thrilled all who sensed it among the myriad races of the ancient world.

The Empress’s breathing quickened, and Seventh Master was also shaken.

Zhou Zhengli and the others all had strange glints in their eyes.

This kind of constitutional struggle, capable of fundamentally altering the opponent’s fate, was something only a mortal feud would avoid between immortals.

Therefore… such constitutional struggles were extremely rare.

Only Erniu licked his lips, looking at Xu Qing and the ancient immortal on the celestial screen, muttering to himself,

“Isn’t this just empty talk? I’m good at that. If you look at it this way, when I become a Xia Immortal, won’t I be invincible among immortals?” While

Erniu was lost in thought, Xu Qing’s gaze fell upon the ancient immortal in the sky, his meaningful voice echoing.

“At this moment, you have one more choice.”

Hearing this, the Ancient Immortal slowly turned his head, his expression weathered, his eyes filled with a sigh.

He didn’t look at Xu Qing, but at the ancient land of Wanggu.

Looking at this world, both familiar and strange to him, looking at the myriad races here, especially the human race.

Finally, his gaze fell on Seventh Master.

Seventh Master remained silent.

The Ancient Immortal closed his eyes, and the vast immortal body he had condensed behind him began to crumble.

Cracks rapidly spread across his immortal body, but just as these cracks filled his entire body, the Ancient Immortal’s closed eyes suddenly snapped open.

He seemed to have made a decision, a choice in his heart.

The instant he opened his eyes, a dense silver immortal fire erupted within him, instantly filling his entire body and spreading through the cracks into the surrounding void.

His entire being seemed to transform into the ultimate yang.

Within that endless flame, his left hand clenched into a fist, the center of which was his own immortal source, about to be extinguished.

With his other hand outstretched, his palm held all the karma accumulated over ten thousand years of cultivation.

Sensing his hands, he took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, transformed the immortal energy in his palm into firewood, and all his karma into oil,

merging it all into himself! In

an instant, the immortal energy dissipated, and the karma vanished.

The silver fire emanating from his immortal body surged violently, overflowing and rising towards the heavens, its flames raging.

During this process, a deafening, earth-shattering roar resounded.

This sound seemed to contain some kind of farewell, surpassing thunder and shattering heaven and earth.

It resounded in the bloodlines of all races!

And when his immortal fire, in its continuous ascent, touched the Ancient Seal at the top of the Nine Heavens, the entire sky was dyed silver.

But this silver was not pure; it gave a pale feeling.

It seemed to be a lament for the end of this ancient immortal.

Because what he burned was not only immortal power, but also the merit of leading the Thick Earth Star Ring to rule the Ancient Seal!

These crowns that once shone so brightly have now become medals of sacrifice.

In exchange… for the immortality of the ruler!

At the moment of complete annihilation, the silver flames lost their silver color, returning to their original form, filling the cracks, making him appear as before, still an old man.

Only, the immortal aura was gone from his body.

As the flames dissipated, the first rays of dawn rose in the distance.

The first rays of morning light pierced through the thin sea of clouds, illuminating the old man’s tattered Daoist robes.

“In the end, I have fallen from my immortal position.”

“From now on, I have no connection with Wang Gu…”

the ancient immortal murmured.

Then, the light in his eyes focused again, looking at Xu Qing.

“Young man, I have granted your wish!”

“Now, I also have a wish!”

“Back then, the one who left his mark in the heavens with the power of his sword, his sword was astonishing.”

“Back then, you were by his side, did you learn his swordsmanship?”

Xu Qing looked at the ancient immortal and nodded.

The light in the ancient immortal’s eyes shone even brighter.

“Draw your sword!”

Xu Qing suddenly raised his right hand, pressing it slightly against the earth below, his deep voice resounding in all directions.

“The Great Emperor’s path in this life is all about the sword.”

“He created a total of five swords.”

“The first form is called… Earth Treasury.”

As he spoke, the earth of the human race roared. With the infusion of Xu Qing’s immortal intent, the roar grew louder and louder, instantly sweeping across the ancient land, stirring up muffled sounds and causing the sky to change color. It

was awe-inspiring.

Xu Qing’s voice echoed in the roar of the earth.

“The so-called Earth Treasury is based on stimulating the earth’s energy, replacing the earth’s energy with sword intent, transforming the earth’s energy into sword energy.”

“After gathering, it condenses into an earth sword!”

As he spoke, the roar of the ancient land was like countless earth dragons erupting, bursts of earth energy rising into the sky, rapidly converging…

into a colossal sword!

Its color was dark yellow, standing tall in the sky!

But it did not fall.

“The second form is called Sky Rift!”

Xu Qing raised his right hand, pressing it gently against the sky.

The sky dimmed at that moment, and even the void became blurred.

A terrifying force, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, enveloped the entire void of Wanggu, drawing away all traces of nothingness!

“This sword was created by the Great Emperor for the ancient emperors to conquer all races.”

“It can shatter the void, and the marks left behind are sword marks.”

“These sword marks are boundless; when they converge, they can form a sword that cleaves the void!”

As Xu Qing spoke, the void suddenly collapsed.

Countless spatial cracks continuously appeared on the sky above Wanggu.

Dense and boundless.

Those were both cracks and sword marks!

With a fierce clench of Xu Qing’s raised right hand, these countless sword marks arrived from all directions, converging before Xu Qing to form a second, world-shaking sword!

Sword light spread, sword energy shattered, and sword intent shook heaven and earth.

Looking at these two swords, the human race was moved, especially the Empress, whose eyes revealed reminiscence.

As for the myriad races, they were all similarly moved.

It was truly the swordsmanship of the Great Emperor who wielded the sword that bought half a century of life for the people of Wanggu. Without that half a century, the calamity of Wanggu would have been impossible to avert.

As for the Ancient Immortal, a hint of melancholy lingered in his expression.

Although he knew that the Great Emperor of Sword Cultivation had threatened him with his resurrected face, he had to admit that the opponent’s sword… even now, it was still breathtaking.

“Continue,”

the Ancient Immortal said in a low voice.

Xu Qing’s eyes held a deep meaning as he raised his hand and waved it.

“The third move… is called Heavenly Palace.”

“This move is primarily for slaughter, targeting only cultivators… therefore, even after the gods descended, the Great Emperor only used it once.”

“And the so-called Heavenly Palace is the Heavenly Palace formed within the body of every cultivator at the Core Formation stage or above!”

Xu Qing spoke calmly, his raised right hand suddenly falling.

All the Core Formation and above cultivators from the holy lands who had previously dispersed and poured into Wanggu, regardless of their location, felt their minds resound in that instant.

The celestial palaces within their bodies roared and trembled, as if under control. From within each palace, countless illusory swords condensed, bursting forth from their bodies! These swords

converged into a sea of swords, roaring across the heavens and earth, a tsunami from all directions.

From afar, their aura was earth-shattering, ultimately coalescing into the third, world-shaking great sword before Xu Qing!

“The fourth sword, its name is Starlight!”

The moment these words were uttered, the heavens roared, and daylight was instantly replaced by night. In

the darkness, countless stars shone.

Countless starlight transformed into streaks of sword light, becoming longswords, descending from the starry sky and scattering across the world.

This formed the fourth, world-shaking sword!

The ancient gods remained silent, the ancient immortals of the heavens gazed intently.

The Empress’s body trembled slightly.

For a moment, in that starlight, in the radiance of those four great swords, Xu Qing’s figure blurred; for a fleeting instant… in Her eyes, he seemed to transform into the Sword-Wielding Emperor.

“The final sword…”

Within the sword’s gleam, the voice of the Great Emperor who wielded the sword echoed in Xu Qing’s mind as he softly spoke.

“This sword was created by the Great Emperor to protect humanity, hence its name… Human Realm!”

The Human Realm after the defeat of Dong Sheng. The Human Realm

struggling during the Holy Heaven Era.

The Human Realm revived under Jing Yun’s rule.

The Human Realm that defied the Dao Shi era.

The Human Realm in chaos after ten thousand years of Xuan Zhan.

The Human Realm that rose after the reign of Empress Li Xia!

“This is the Human Realm he protected. He’s gone, but I’m still here,”

Xu Qing whispered.

Just like before, his heart was filled with boundless questions!

A world-shaking aura arose.

In the heavens, it overlapped with the previous four swords, converging into one, the true… Human Realm Sword! It struck towards the Ancient Immortal

…!

The Ancient Immortal closed his eyes.

But the Human Realm Sword, at the very moment it struck the Ancient Immortal, suddenly bypassed him, heading towards the void behind him!

The void rippled, and a drop of golden river water appeared from within the void.

The moment the sword touched the river, a startling sound emanated from it, then it erupted violently, forming streams and then vast expanses…

In an instant, it transformed into a boundless divine river that shook the ancient world and stirred the starry sky!

This river was not substantial, but merely a phantom projection, yet within it lay countless stars, all living beings, and lotus blossoms.

Within those lotuses sat countless figures, some of different races, some of humanity, some of cultivation, some of deities…

and even more so, within the river, a cold, golden, gigantic eye slowly opened.

It was… the Mother River of the Divine Venerable in the northern part of the Ninth Star Ring!

“The one I’ve been waiting for!”

In that instant, Xu Qing’s eyes blazed with an unparalleled, suppressed icy light!
