Outside of Time - Chapter 1362

Chapter 1338 Freedom

The mysterious and dazzling ball of light, with a wave of Er Niu’s hand, rushed straight towards Xu Qing.

Er Niu’s voice, after a moment of fervor, weakened instantly.

The blue color on the left hand of the Huangtian Divine Emperor, which it resided in, rapidly faded, while the divine might of the Huangtian Divine Emperor erupted violently,

attempting to completely suppress and erase Er Niu. At

this critical moment, the Thick Earth Illusion on Seventh Master’s body shone even brighter, enveloping all directions, delaying the Huangtian Divine Emperor’s revival by isolating it from external alien influences.

As for Xu Qing, the moment the dazzling ball of light flew towards him, he raised his right hand.

Within his palm, a mirror emerged from his flesh!

It was a rhombus-shaped mirror, its surface radiant with light, capable of reflecting all things in the world within itself.

Furthermore, an aura of law, surpassing even Xia Xian and reaching the level of a Celestial Lord, even higher than ordinary Celestial Lords, flowed within it,

causing immortal intent to permeate the entire Huangtian realm.

This object came from the Immortal Lord Mi Ming!

This was the constitution bestowed upon Xu Qing by Mi Ming before he left the Fifth Star Ring!

For others, this constitution would have ordinary effects.

But Xu Qing was different.

He had entered Mi Ming’s memories, become Mi Ming in history, and lived through the most important period of Mi Ming’s life.

That experience made Xu Qing, to some extent, the only one within the thirty-six ascending star rings who could almost completely manifest Mi Ming’s constitution.

This was also the most powerful treasure he possessed, besides the divine eye lampshade given to him by Master Bai.

At this moment, as the mirror in his palm shone, the entire Huangtian… the sky changed color, and the earth churned.

The constitution from Mi Ming, with its terrifying power, suppressed everything.

Especially the returning Huangtian God Emperor!

The instant the mirror reflected him, the Huangtian God Emperor’s massive body trembled violently.

Then, it shook violently, and golden mist rapidly gathered in the mirror in Xu Qing’s palm, gradually outlining a blurry human figure.

Seventh Master, watching this scene, was equally shaken.

He sensed the extraordinary nature of the mirror in Xu Qing’s palm, and even saw the blurry figure within it—the very soul of the Radiant Heavenly Emperor!

Even more striking was the faint outline of his true name!

“This mirror… seems to possess a unique power to suppress deities!”

Seventh Master murmured to himself.

Xu Qing, noticing Seventh Master’s expression, naturally understood his thoughts.

Seventh Master was unaware of the method by which the Immortal Lord Mi Ming ascended.

Mi Ming’s ascension relied on the primordial mother star of the fourth star ring, forcibly embedding himself into it, merging with the mother star, first obtaining the power of a god-king through the mother star’s power, leaving behind his true name, and then transforming from god to immortal.

This method made Mi Ming both a god and an immortal!

Therefore, he possessed a special power to suppress deities.

Xu Qing had also analyzed that ascension afterward; relying on the primordial mother star itself was astonishing, and the starting point was extremely high.

However, Mi Ming’s final choice also contained regret.

He only briefly merged with the mother star.

He did not… truly devour the mother star!

Otherwise, everything would be rewritten in an even more terrifying way.

But he also knew that this method… had too many impossible obstacles.

Whether it was the obstruction of the Fourth Star Ring God, the ultimate rejection of the Fourth Star Ring’s original mother star, or Mi Ming’s own sacrifice, and the risk of the merging of wills… any deviation would cause the ritual to fail.

Like walking on a spider’s web!

Therefore, Mi Ming ultimately chose the safest and most successful method, simply using fusion and advancement to disperse on its own.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Qing’s mind, and his gaze fell on the Huangtian God Emperor below.

The Huangtian God Emperor’s eyes closed again, but his aura fluctuated strongly. His body trembled, clearly wanting to struggle, but the suppression of Mi Ming’s constitution rendered all his resistance useless.

Even when he was at his peak, he could not resist Mi Ming now, let alone now that he was in a state of return and had lost… the source light offered by his clan!

Therefore, he could only let the lens in Xu Qing’s palm forcibly take away his soul.

During this process, Erniu was incredibly excited. He could feel the body he was inhabiting rapidly reducing its rejection and resistance.

Without hesitation, he initiated the fusion again.

The next instant, the blue light that had almost faded from the Huangtian Divine Emperor’s left hand shone brightly, spreading rapidly towards the Huangtian Divine Emperor’s body.

In a flash, it regained half of its area, advancing towards the other half with unstoppable force!

However, the resistance from the Huangtian Divine Emperor, even now, remained stubborn. Even though it couldn’t resist the Mirror of Seeking Light, it vaguely showed signs of mutual destruction.

It seemed that even in failure, it didn’t want to give up its divine body!

Seeing this, Seventh Master’s eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to make a move.

Xu Qing, looking at the Huangtian Divine Emperor below, suddenly spoke.

“If the method of deception goes too far… affecting my senior brother’s fusion, then I’ll take it as you preparing to make the charade real.” As soon as

Xu Qing spoke,

the tremor in the Huangtian Divine Emperor’s body abruptly stopped.

Xu Qing continued.

“By borrowing my senior brother’s hand, through a special guidance, a special location, a special method, a special ritual was formed… for your return.”

“Everything seems normal and logical. In fact, if it weren’t for the unexpected

event that led to my return, you could have succeeded.” “However, I don’t believe you can’t sense what’s happening outside.”

“I also don’t believe you’re unaware that your original plan, given the current developments, even if you truly return, will inevitably end in suppression.”

“In that case, why struggle with all your might…”

Xu Qing’s eyes held a deep meaning as he gazed at the corpse of the Radiant Heavenly Emperor.

“You want to use the karma between me and my master to completely dissipate here, and then return in another star ring in another way…”

“You’re worried about being discovered, so you struggle with all your might, putting on a show. But at the same time, deep down, there’s a genuine resentment within you, so you want to use this opportunity to have both!” As

Xu Qing spoke, he looked at the mirror in his hand. Although it contained the Radiant Heavenly Emperor’s soul and true name, seemingly one with it, through the mirror’s laws, Xu Qing could sense an almost imperceptible repulsion between the true name and the soul!

This true name… does not belong to the Radiant Heaven God Emperor!

“Senior Li Zihua has never returned. I wonder if his departure from here to Wanggu, and everything that followed, was also… to

help you escape!”

Xu Qing spoke calmly. He wasn’t entirely sure about this initially, but his experiences after entering Radiant Heaven, and his performance in the Mirror of Seeking the Laws, had given him a certainty.

Most importantly, he didn’t believe that this once-glorious God Emperor of Radiant Heaven would be a mere mediocre person who wouldn’t leave himself any room for maneuver.

Xu Qing’s voice echoed in all directions.

On the ground, the Radiant Heaven God Emperor’s closed eyes suddenly reopened.

Golden light erupted from his eyes, locking onto Xu Qing.

Xu Qing turned to Seventh Master and said softly,

“Master, may I have full authority to decide what happens here?”

Seventh Master nodded slightly, guessing Xu Qing’s decision.

Xu Qing bowed, then looked down at the Radiant Heaven God Emperor.

“I still owe Senior Li Zihua a favor for what happened back then. And since he took your true name, then… give up resisting and fulfill my senior brother’s wish.”

“I’ll let you go!”

“From now on, you must not set foot in the Ninth Star Ring, and it will no longer be your concern!”

Xu Qing’s voice, like the might of heaven, echoed throughout the world.

“Only by giving up can one gain.”

The Huangtian God Emperor remained silent.

Xu Qing’s words revealed His entire plan. Initially, He did indeed want to use that greedy person to complete His return.

However, the changes in the outside world caught Him off guard, but He didn’t panic too much.

Because He had other methods.

Li Zihua and Chi Mu both left Huangtian with His tacit approval.

As for what happened after they left, He didn’t interfere. All the clansmen who left held one belief:

to rescue Him.

And Li Zihua, with his own excellence, had already reached the forefront.

All He needed to do was sever all ties and causality with Huangtian, willingly letting all traces be erased, and He would succeed.

Yet, a lingering resentment remained within Him.

A few breaths later

, a sigh dissipated around Him.

He finally relinquished that last trace of resentment, closing his eyes and

surrendering.

In that instant, His soul image fully manifested within the mirror in Xu Qing’s palm,

completely severing its connection with His true form .

Meanwhile, the fusion with Er Niu accelerated dramatically, spreading throughout the entire body of the Divine Emperor in just over ten breaths.

Then, a deep slumber and profound fusion began.

Glancing at his senior brother, Xu Qing realized it would take some time for him to awaken, so he raised his hand and grasped the mirror.

The next instant,

the Divine Emperor within the mirror shattered, his soul and true name erased. He

was completely severed from all causal ties with Wang Gu and Huang Tian,

leaving no trace.

In both the Wang Gu Continent and the Huang Tian World, all memories of the Divine Emperor’s existence were invisibly erased.

No one remembered, and he could not be recalled.

He was free.

As Xu Qing said, you have to give up something to gain

something. Giving up everything here for freedom.

“Freedom is good. We fought for so long back then, and although we won, in reality… this place was never truly unified. The existence of Huangtian meant this place never truly belonged to Houtu.”

Seventh Master sighed.

This solution allowed him to put an end to the past.

“That light from Huangtian…”

Seventh Master looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing raised his right hand, taking the light floating before him. After concentrating, he spoke softly.

“Master, Senior Brother will need some time to awaken.”

“And this light is very strange… it contains the secrets of Huangtian, and also the will of Huangtian.”

“I want to absorb it here, to see what the secrets… truly are!”
