Outside of Time - Chapter 1352

Chapter 1329 The Suffering of the Spirit Emperor

Almost the instant Xu Qing spoke, the giant serpent before him trembled violently, its mouth emitting a hiss that could penetrate the soul.

Ripples appeared in the dark void of the Spirit Abyss, sweeping outwards like ocean waves.

At the same time, within the great world above the giant serpent’s head, the pupils of all the Spirit Emperor’s Eyes that had opened from their respective palaces contracted. The intense life-or-death crisis caused the newly awakened Ancient Spirit Emperor’s soul to tremble.

He instinctively wanted to escape, and instantly, spatial fluctuations appeared around all the Spirit Emperor’s Eyes.

These fluctuations erupted in an instant, engulfing the Spirit Emperor’s Eyes and causing them to vanish abruptly.

Xu Qing remained calm, looking at the scene with equanimity, and spoke softly.

“Come back.”

All space had been sealed off when Xu Qing arrived.

This included spacetime.

Unless one’s cultivation level surpassed his, no life could leave so easily before him.

And so, in his gaze, after his words, the vanished Eyes of the Spirit Emperor reappeared.

And not as before, appearing in the Great World, but… on the giant serpent’s body.

Looking around, on the rotting giant serpent’s body, Eyes of the Spirit Emperor appeared out of thin air, growing into its flesh, unable to detach themselves.

Now all were open, revealing intense terror.

They didn’t even dare to resist, allowing Zhou Zhengli, Xinghuan, and the others to run rampant in their world.

“Xu Qing, I have not offended you!”

All the Eyes of the Spirit Emperor emitted divine thoughts, converging to form a voice almost divine, inherently majestic.

However, it contained anxiety and tension, losing its former brilliance.

Outside the giant serpent, in the void, Xu Qing stood there, raising his right hand and grabbing at the giant serpent.

With this grab, the giant serpent’s trembling instantly reached its extreme, its body blurring, its hiss turning into a wail.

Its massive body even began to melt.

The ancient emperor’s eyes that had appeared all over its body screamed in agony, one by one separating from its flesh and blood, uncontrollably converging towards Xu Qing.

The sense of death exploded to its limit in an instant.

The ancient spirit emperor’s wail was also a desperate, instinctive plea.

“Xu Qing, I helped you before!”

“Even when you were weak, you provoked me many times, but I didn’t really lay a hand on you!”

Hearing the ancient spirit emperor’s wail, Xu Qing didn’t say much.

He knew very well that his relationship with the ancient spirit emperor before this was all a series of dangerous transactions.

The reason the other party didn’t kill him at first was because he had something that the other party feared, and at the same time, he had a certain value.

Hence, there was the subsequent feeding and participation in the battle of the Crimson Mother.

So the hand that reached out pulled hard.

In an instant, the tearing sound echoed again with the ancient spirit emperor’s wail, and all the spirit emperor’s eyes that grew on the giant snake’s body were completely peeled off.

Ninety-nine pearls appeared before Xu Qing, forcibly suppressed by an irresistible force, piling up to form a fleshy eye-shaped ball.

The compressive force continued.

“Xu Qing, I’ve helped your Daoist partner!”

“I can help her in the future too. My existence can ensure she’s free from any future curses. I know you can do it, but I can…”

“I can take her place in her tribulation!”

“Our Ancient Spirit Clan possesses its own bloodline tribulation; I can use myself to take it for her!!”

All of the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s eyes were surging, his gathered divine sense rapidly transmitting under the intense external pressure.

These words seemed to have some effect, the compressive force slightly easing.

But before the Ancient Spirit Emperor could breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Qing’s raised right hand suddenly grabbed.

Amidst the roar of the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s mind, Xu Qing’s hand landed above the Spirit Emperor’s Eye, grasping that void.

All the pupils of the Spirit Emperor’s Eye contracted.

And at this moment, a sharp light appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

He stared at the void he held.

There, there was a golden thread imperceptible to outsiders!

Though called a thread, it was actually a hair.

It existed yet did not, existing in an extremely strange state, one end connected to the Ancient Emperor’s Eye, the other… stretching into the distant darkness.

“Just as I expected,”

Xu Qing murmured to himself. He had previously judged that the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s continued existence, besides his own perseverance, was most likely due to external assistance.

After all, if a pawn had to be chosen, the Ancient Spirit Emperor’s status would be the most suitable.

“As for who is behind this, this hair has already revealed it.”

Xu Qing grabbed the strange hair, his divine sense following it, suddenly erupting and sweeping across the distant darkness.

Under his divine sense, the pitch-black Spirit Abyss seemed to descend like heavenly fire, everything crystal clear.

Especially with this hair as the guide, this search became a lock-on.

And so, in an instant, Xu Qing’s divine sense clearly saw, deep within the Spirit Abyss, a beast-like being dwelling in the mist!

It looked like a lizard, entirely golden, and

was asleep.

The moment Xu Qing’s divine sense swept over it, the sleeping lizard abruptly opened its eyes,

colliding with Xu Qing’s divine sense .

An invisible wave erupted throughout the entire Spirit Abyss.

Furthermore, boundless curse power appeared out of thin air with the golden lizard’s awakening, surging in all directions.

It was none other than the giant beast among the four divine lords outside the Ancient Continent!

But clearly, what appeared here was only a wisp of its divine sense.

Even so, the void itself could not withstand its gaze upon Xu Qing, showing signs of collapse; cracks rapidly covered the entire realm of the Spirit Abyss.

Xu Qing paid no attention to this, his face cold as he gazed at the lizard.

The golden lizard also coldly looked at Xu Qing.

“Give me the ancient spirit behind you, and I will leave.”

After a long while, the golden lizard’s divine voice came, carrying the power of law, influencing will, soul, and everything else.

Even Xu Qing felt the laws of the land tremble at those words. After all,

that was the divine thought of a god!

However, Xu Qing was no stranger to the Divine Lord. Almost the instant his own constitution was affected, a flame suddenly ignited before him.

Then, a lantern appeared before him,

which Xu Qing held high.

Inside the lantern, the Divine Lord’s Eye, forged within, snapped open. A

boundless golden light transformed into a tangible sea of light, flowing through the Divine Lord’s Eye towards the golden lizard.

At that glance, nothingness collapsed, everything crumbled, and annihilation seemed imminent.

The golden lizard’s body roared, showing signs of shattering, and it retreated continuously, its expression cold. Its gaze swept over the lantern, then glanced at Xu Qing.

Then, in its retreat, it pierced through the nothingness.

It finally chose to abandon its probing, intending to leave Wanggu and return to its original form.

But…

if He had left when Xu Qing drew the line, Xu Qing wouldn’t have stopped Him. But having been given the opportunity, and having made a choice, leaving unscathed now

would invisibly damage the credibility of Xu Qing’s statement!

Regardless of the considerations, Xu Qing had to act, to show the outside forces the consequences of remaining here.

So, holding the lantern, Xu Qing watched the departing golden lizard and calmly spoke.

“Entropy!”

As soon as he uttered these words, the lantern in his hand suddenly trembled, and a faint, ancient, heavy breathing sound seemed to fall into this collapsing void.

It was the breath of the former god of the Fifth Star Ring, His lingering presence in the world.

And as the breathing sound echoed, the golden light emanating from the god’s eye within the lantern suddenly surpassed its previous intensity, instantly turning the entire void golden!

Then, everything in this world changed within the gold.

The void, the mist, and naturally, all included… the golden lizard that was about to leave and return to its original form!

The lizard trembled.

It sensed… the divine authority of the deity!

Entropy is the process by which all things move from order to chaos, and with the help of this divine authority, one can change everything about matter through increases or decreases.
