Outside of Time - Chapter 1356

Chapter 1333 The Radiant Sky

A brown wind swept across the dark sky, howling and carrying away the desolate land.

It carried death and emptiness.

The dust it stirred up, reflected in the dim light, seemed like the shattered years, becoming mottled and distorted shadows.

The entire world, as if cursed, exuded an aura of despair.

The sky was a deep gray-black,

like a massive, oppressive curtain, weighing heavily on the land, as if it might collapse at any moment, crushing everything into endless darkness.

In mid-air, wisps of strange matter surged with the wind, like living tentacles, freely weaving and entwining, so dense they almost solidified, turning into mist in many areas, spreading endlessly in all directions.

The earth, long since devoid of life and vitality, presented a scene of decay.

Everywhere, the cracked earth was riddled with ravines of varying depths, like gaping maws roaring at the dictates of fate.

Yet life did not entirely disappear.

Within those ravines, plants tenaciously grew, but due to the influence of the environment, the presence of anomalies, or perhaps it was simply its nature, each plant exuded an aura of malevolence!

Their branches twisted and gnarled, like agonizing, struggling spirits, their surfaces covered in sharp thorns, some gleaming with an eerie light, as if warning any intruder not to approach.

The shapes of their leaves were bizarre; some were as broad as fans, yet riddled with countless holes, as if gnawed by some unknown force; others were long and thin like swords, their edges edged with serrated teeth, trembling slightly in the wind, as if ready to transform into deadly weapons at any moment.

Furthermore, on this desolate and dangerous land, enormous divine beasts could be seen roaming from time to time.

Their appearances were even more grotesque.

Some creatures possessed countless eyes, each gleaming with a cold and cruel light, seemingly able to see through all the world’s disguises. Others

were covered in scales as hard as iron, their scales gleaming eerily in the gray-black sky, each step leaving deep footprints on the earth with a dull thud, as if the very ground trembled. Still others

had enormous wings, their flapping creating gusts of wind carrying the stench of decay and an alien, icy touch that sent chills down one’s spine.

But in this eerie and desolate land, the most striking feature… was not them.

It was… the towering temples!

Each of these temples was imbued with a primitive style, as if they had stood there since ancient times, scattered across this vast land with a unified aesthetic.

The walls were constructed of massive stones, inscribed with mysterious and obscure runes. These runes seemed to possess a life of their own, occasionally flashing a faint light, like the breath of the world.

As for the gate, it was tall and heavy, carved with different patterns, and at the highest point of each pattern, vertical lines depicted light!

It was as if light… was the common worship of these temples!

This place was called Huangtian!

It existed beneath the Wanggu Continent, its scope similar to Wanggu, even tracing its history… Huangtian was the true Wanggu. It was

also the world that the cultivators who came from the Thick Earth Star Ring saw for the first time.

The epic war between the cultivators and the Huangtian God Clan that took place countless years ago, though the cultivators paid a heavy price, ultimately yielded the fruits of victory!

These fruits were sweet and profound, granting the cultivators the qualification to enter the upper planetary ring, a place to dwell, and the opportunity to build the Wanggu Continent.

And Wanggu became the heaven of Huangtian!

As for the Huangtian God Clan, they perished as a result. Most of their gods were suppressed, the royal family was sealed, and their crown prince could only transform into a golden crow to atone for Huangtian’s sins.

The entire Huangtian Continent was buried.

The reshaped Wanggu, surpassing all others, was

simultaneously reborn. The rise of the Heavenly Dao allowed the cultivation system to blossom brilliantly for the first time in this Ninth Star River, further solidifying the seal on Huangtian.

Thus, with the passage of time, Huangtian became a legend.

The Huangtian Divine Clan became a thing of the past.

Almost no cultivators ever came here.

Until today!

It seemed destined that this day would be both ordinary and extraordinary.

First, a mournful cry echoed from the heavens, and a figure descended.

Immediately following, an unprecedented sound of creation resounded across the gray-black sky! Rumble!

The

sound was immense, instantly reverberating throughout Huangtian. As it echoed, it was as if an invisible hand reached in from behind the heavens, tearing the entire firmament apart!

A massive rift, spanning an immeasurable range, suddenly appeared in the sky!

And from within the rift emerged two figures!

The instant they appeared, the entire Huangtian realm rippled with an aura not belonging to this place. It emanated from the two figures, instantly sweeping across all directions.

Wherever it passed, the alien matter began to melt!

For it was the aura of immortals!

Suppressing Huangtian!

The moment this aura appeared, the entire Huangtian world instantly plunged into a strange agitation.

The sky distorted.

The alien matter dissipated.

The vegetation trembled.

The ferocious beasts prostrated themselves.

The most affected were the previously silent temples on the earth!

They seemed to be infused with life, trembling violently in an instant.

Accompanied by muffled rumbling sounds, it was as if this ancient world was awakening!

And gradually, it emitted earth-shattering roars.

And within those temples, the statues of gods swayed.

The aura emanating from them was incredibly powerful, seemingly beyond the comprehension of mortals. Yet, at this moment… many of these statues were swaying, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure of the sky, and were showing signs of cracking.

The source of all this was the two figures who emerged from the crack in the heavens.

“This is Huangtian!”

Seventh Master’s gaze fell upon the earth, looking at the temples and sensing everything here, his tone tinged with emotion.

“Back then, I followed those elders, and it was here… that I waged a great war against the Huangtian God Clan!”

At this point, Seventh Master looked at Xu Qing, his expression somewhat solemn.

“Don’t underestimate the Huangtian Divine Clan. Although they are relatively weaker compared to those powerful gods, they are…”

“The Huangtian Divine Clan is a rare divine race possessing divine soul talent. Not just one, but all its members possess it!”

“This is something I haven’t seen in any other god for many years.”

These words, falling on Xu Qing’s ears, caused his eyes to gleam with a strange light.

He had only ever seen two gods possessing divine soul talent.

One was the Fourth Star Ring God Lord of Li Zhu, and the other was the Star-Eyed Goddess!

The former was swallowed by Er Niu, and the latter was in Xu Qing’s storage bag.

“Therefore, our war against this race back then came at an extremely heavy price; the entire Thick Earth Star Ring was affected… And after the victory, those elders also conducted special research on this race.”

“Because of my different status, I also participated, so I know the final results of the research.”

“That is… the significance of the Huangtian Continent’s very existence is extremely special!”

“We even speculated at the time that Huangtian… very likely was the first star born within its star ring!”

“And the Huangtian Divine Race were the first natives here!”

“Otherwise, why did the Remnant Face appear?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing’s mind suddenly jolted.

“The Primal Mother Star?”

He immediately thought of the star in the fourth star ring, but upon closer inspection, it seemed somewhat inconsistent.

“The Primal Mother Star’s role is related to the secret of the gods’ return, hence the existence of divine abominations, but this… doesn’t quite fit.”
