Outside of Time - Chapter 1349

Chapter 1326 The First Sacrifice to the Source of the Strange Object!

Amidst the rolling waves of the golden and silver sea, the Time Bottle within Xu Qing’s time was condensed.

That seemingly ordinary little bottle now exuded an ancient aura.

That antiquity was far too ancient, containing a thick layer of decay; even with the power of wishes tracing its origins, it seemed difficult to fully reveal its source.

Even with Xu Qing’s constitutional blessing, causing time and space to flow on this Time Bottle, only in the end… a blurry relief appeared on the surface of that ordinary little bottle.

The carved lines seemed alive, intertwining and twisting, ultimately faintly forming a sphere.

It was rotating, radiating a life force.

“That’s… a star?”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

And with the rotation of the star, rays of light like the morning glow appeared in an instant, spreading throughout the entire little bottle.

Xu Qing’s pupils contracted, about to scrutinize it closely.

But the mournful voice from the Mother River God interrupted everything.

His divine essence erupted at any cost, spreading endless divine light, finally dissolving the chains of law binding him, ending the pull.

The scene vanished, and the Time Bottle returned to normal.

The Mother River Goddess retreated rapidly, her face pale, her body weak, her eyes filled with killing intent, and her heart churning violently.

This time, his injuries were extremely severe; even though only thirty percent of his divine essence had appeared, the cracks in his divine essence were enough to affect his true form.

“This person not only possesses the schemes of multiple divine beings, but also other inexplicable things!”

“Those inexplicable things are mostly related to the Wanggu Continent itself…”

“This person… is most likely the last remaining force that Wanggu condensed under the erosion of Shanghuang, a final struggle!”

“Therefore, Wanggu’s fortune is with him, the Heavenly Dao is with him, the light of formation is with him, and that strange bottle is also related to him!”

“This kind of person… no wonder the schemes of the divine beings have all converged upon him!”

“However, you have linked your own constitution-transformed chains with mine, which, while restricting me, has also allowed me to see your weakness through this connection!”

A golden light flashed in the eyes of the Mother River God, and golden flames ignited within them, spreading from them and instantly flowing throughout his entire body.

Burning fiercely.

Within the golden flames, His appearance became sacred, but the resolute determination within His expression was particularly evident.

“Your flaw is indeed as I predicted. The fusion of immortals and gods cannot be so easy!”

“You’re just putting on a brave face!”

“Your current state is only temporary. The fusion of immortals and gods cannot last long for you!”

The Mother River God’s voice echoed through the starry sky, filled with madness. Her right hand rose, and with the flames in her eyes flaring wildly, her divine essence… began to spontaneously combust!

The next instant, even denser flames erupted from her body, making her like an inextinguishable divine fire in the starry sky.

Burning the surrounding area, everything turned to nothingness, becoming nourishment for her own combustion, making the flames even stronger.

Radiating light and heat, transforming into divine might, it seemed to want to incinerate the entire universe.

In an instant, her divine will spread throughout the starry sky.

Then, in this desperate state of burning, the Mother River God raised her hand and pointed at Xu Qing.

The words from her mouth, at this moment, truly became the rules of the star ring!

“I wish that your divine instability will cause you to split apart in three breaths!”

“I wish that your divine soul will become independent and then collapse!”

“I wish that your divine body and soul-devouring will both become illusions!”

These vows became the rules of the Ninth Star Ring, echoing throughout all the universes of the Ninth Star Ring, causing all living beings to tremble, and also transforming into three closed eyes of rules.

The first eye between the brows of the Mother River Goddess opened.

The moment it looked at Xu Qing, the golden and silver seas surrounding Xu Qing actually emanated a tearing sound, and the gold and silver within them actually began to separate from their previous fused state.

Silver was on the left, gold on the right, and Xu Qing’s body between the two seas also showed signs of separation at this moment.

The original instability was infinitely amplified!

Seeing this scene, the Mother River Goddess’s expression was ferocious, and the second eye between her brows opened instantly.

Rules erupted, the star ring roared, and Xu Qing’s soul experienced violent waves in that instant.

Xu Qing paid no heed to these things. Neither the separation of the golden and silver light sea nor the fluctuations of his own immortal soul affected his will in the slightest.

At this moment, he let the Mother River God open her eyes, while in his mind, a divine power composed of his own techniques appeared.

It was a divine power inherited from Li Zihua, called the God-Slaying Platform!

“In the end, it belongs to someone else, but I can use this as a lesson to form a… divine power that belongs to me.”

Xu Qing raised his hand and, according to his thoughts, summoned towards the void.

He drew the Red Moon Authority, which transformed into endless blood mist below him. As it rolled, it condensed into a blood-red altar!

It was the Red Moon Altar!

Next was the Ghost Emperor Mountain, which originated from the Bronze Black Tower. It did not stand upright, but transformed into a tower shape, becoming the altar’s support upside down!

It raised the altar high!

Furthermore, chains formed from the Golden Crow locked the base of the tower, connected to the altar, and swayed on their own.

This scene formed a bizarre picture, which appeared before Xu Qing as he closed his eyes.

Then, under Xu Qing’s will, the power of the poison descended from nowhere, transforming into billowing black mist. Within that mist, a huge and blurry beastly figure stood at the western corner of the altar.

Ding Yisan’er was also summoned out by Xu Qing.

The old painter emerged from within, his expression crazed, using a millstone to grind up the morning light and paint the altar.

Then, he mixed the blood of the little boy’s destiny and smeared it on the eyes of the stone lion, causing the stone lion to tremble and let out a shrill, ear-piercing roar.

The old painter, laughing maniacally, plunged his paintbrush into his own brow, crawling towards the northern corner of the altar before dying there.

Next, from the poisonous mist of the altar, a grinning scarecrow swayed out and came to the southern corner of the altar, where it knelt down towards the center, holding up an object in its hands.

It was the Time Bottle.

Finally, at the eastern corner of the altar, the hand of the gods appeared, placing Ding Yisan’er’s head before it.

The voice in his head was echoing mournfully:

“You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead!”

These scenes shook the Mother River Goddess to her core. She felt an intense life-or-death crisis, stronger than ever before, giving her a premonition of impending doom.

“What is this!”

As the voice echoed, Xu Qing, sitting cross-legged in the void above the altar, suddenly opened her eyes,

looking at the Mother River Goddess.

A chilling voice emanated from her lips.

“In this life, I have merged with all the strange creatures, gathering here, borrowing your wish to trace back to the origin, to perform this sacrifice!”

“Let it be called, the Origin of Strange Creatures… Sacrifice!”

The last word uttered by Xu Qing caused the starry sky to tremble and the altar to roar.

In an instant, the space around Xu Qing began to distort and deform, as if an invisible force was tearing apart the boundary between reality and illusion.

Furthermore, black shadows, surpassing even the most forbidden poisons, surged from all directions in gusts of cold wind, rapidly converging around the altar.

From within the darkness, the outlines of numerous bizarre and eerie creatures vaguely emerged, emanating a chilling aura, imbued with an ancient quality—

seemingly even more ancient than the gods !

This aura alone caused even the gods to tremble.

Furthermore, sounds like weeping and howling echoed across the starry sky, as if these were malevolent beings awakened from the very beginning of the world,

intent on devouring their prey!

They struggled and writhed in the darkness, then, in Xu Qing’s gaze, suddenly roared towards the location of the Mother River Goddess.

Boundless and densely packed, their sheer numbers were enough to make any who witnessed them tremble.

Wherever they passed, the starry sky decayed, like rotting skin.

The Mother River Goddess’s expression changed drastically; facing an overwhelming life-or-death crisis, she immediately retreated, unleashing divine magic to defend herself. Brilliant divine light emanated from her body, and various divine powers formed from wishes intertwined around her to block the attack.

Simultaneously, she herself vanished into nothingness, disappearing into the distance with divine magic!

However, the strange creatures formed from the initial ritual of the Origin of Strange Creatures, like ferocious beasts smelling blood, pounced with even greater speed and a more piercing cry.

Regardless of nothingness, regardless of spacetime, regardless of any parallel universe, they relentlessly pursued the aura of the Mother River Goddess!

In every dimension, in every concept, in every story, they caught up with the Mother River Goddess, pulling her back from various regions and forming her at the center of the altar.

This caused the figure of the Mother River Goddess to appear within the altar.

Then, amidst her mournful cries… the ritual began!

The altar erupted, locking her in place!

The black tower roared, suppressing her soul!

Poisonous seals spread, sealing her godhood!

The entire altar, in a flash, began the ritual!

Countless strange creatures could be seen swarming forward, frantically gnawing and tearing.

The painter, after his death, grinned wickedly, his corpse hand raised, painting madly.

The stone lion roared!

“What are strange creatures? They emerge before the gods, ascending to the planetary rings, the realm of strange creatures before the gods!”

Heads leaped and sang!

“At the third quarter of midnight, the finger is pricked, blood drawn; offerings are made from the seven orifices to the Ghost Lord.”

“The left eye is gouged out for the cursed beast sparrow; the right eye is offered to the Time Scroll.”

“The ears hang on the black crow; the tongue is stuffed into the bronze goblet.

” “And the divine marrow and divine essence, the spirit and soul, the River of Oblivion!”

“The rest are buried in the Mountain of Sin; the divine kingdom collapses, its light blazing!”

“Finally, the millstone turns three times; the Ghost Lord’s sacrifice reveals its true face!”

This voice was sharp as a funeral dirge!

No matter how the Mother River Goddess struggled and roared, she could not escape this terrifying shroud.

The eerie power from this ninth star ring, in this instant, gathered here as its outlet, erupting endlessly!

In a short while, the Mother River Goddess, under the power of this Ghost Lord’s initial sacrifice, dissipated, her light extinguished!

Together with the altar, she ultimately vanished completely into nothingness!

Only the lingering eerie aura in this starry sky and a soft sigh from the ancient immortal of the same demise remained.

The starry sky was silent.

Xu Qing stood in the starry sky, sensing the tranquility around him, and finally raised his head to gaze at the distant universe.

After a long while, he raised his hand and took out a Celestial Venerable’s treasure, waving it slightly in the starry sky beneath his feet.

A line, starting from his feet, formed a circle, encircling Wang Gu within it.

Standing at the boundary, Xu Qing’s voice resounded throughout the entire Ninth Star Ring:

“From this day forward, any outsider who crosses this line will bear the consequences!”
