Outside of Time - Chapter 1369

Chapter 1344 Seizing Body, Seizing Fate!

Inside and outside the palace of the Purple-Azure Upper Kingdom.

Purple-Azure sat on the dragon throne, while Xu Qing stood in the square outside the palace.

Their gazes met.

Xu Qing remembered the last time their eyes met was in the capital of the human race, at the moment of his death.

And before that, it was in the rainy night in the dense forest of Yinghuang Prefecture.

At that time, the Purple-Azure Crown Prince held the head of the Sixth Prince in his hand.

Scene after scene flashed through Xu Qing’s mind as their eyes met at this moment.

However, unlike before… this time, Xu Qing’s gaze was calm.

He looked at the Purple-Azure Crown Prince, and at such close range, he could clearly sense that the other’s cultivation level was only at the Divine Platform.

Back in the capital of the human race, the Purple-Azure Crown Prince used the Empress’s advancement as a ritual to step into the Divine Platform realm.

But it seemed that over the years, he had stopped.

Now, he was still at the Divine Platform.

But Xu Qing was not careless because of this. He knew very well… with the statue of the Desolate Remnant here, his cultivation level was actually not important.

The Purple-Green Prince’s cunning and methods, along with his repeated schemes, all demonstrated the immense ambitions he harbored!

Thus, facing the Purple-Green Prince’s words, Xu Qing spoke calmly.

“My divine body, whether merged with myself or brought here… as long as it appears before you, then…” “

Whether this body, forged from the desolate flesh and blood, can still belong to me is unknown.”

Inside the hall, the Purple-Green Prince, seated on the dragon throne, smiled even more gently upon hearing this.

“My clever younger brother, let me see if your preparations are sufficient.”

As he spoke softly, the Purple-Green Prince raised his right hand and gently summoned the heavens.

With this summons, the sky roared, waves surged, and a massive vortex suddenly appeared, violently rotating.

It swept away all the black mist that had engulfed the sky.

Within that vortex, a scene coalesced!

The scene was… Mount Chaoxia!

Everything was clearly reflected within it, and one could see a figure sitting cross-legged inside Mount Chaoxia.

Exuding a strong divine aura, it was none other than Xu Qing’s divine body!

Surrounding him was a dense and complex array, all now activated, forming a terrifying suppressive force.

Outside the array, outside Chaoxia Mountain, figures could be seen encircling the mountain.

These were Zhou Zhengli and Xing Huanzi.

They were all sitting cross-legged, each forming hand seals, releasing their full power to reinforce the array within Chaoxia Mountain. This

caused the suppressive power of the array to surge dramatically.

But this wasn’t the main point. The one truly suppressing Xu Qing’s divine body was… Seventh Master!

Seventh Master sat cross-legged atop Chaoxia Mountain, using his own power to envelop Xu Qing’s divine body.

Everything was normal until, the instant Prince Ziqing raised his hand to summon, Xu Qing’s divine body, sitting cross-legged at the center of the array, suddenly trembled.

His eyes abruptly opened!

Golden light shone forth, and… his gaze held an eerie quality.

It seemed he was no longer Xu Qing!

Immediately afterward, terrifying power emanated from the god’s body, attempting to destroy the formation and break through the mountain to reach the summoning ground.

This power was astonishing; the moment it touched the formation, it immediately showed signs of decay and collapse.

Zhou Zhengli and the others who were supporting the formation trembled violently. Zhou Zhengli coughed up a mouthful of blood, as did Xing Huanzi.

Xie Lingzi, Li Mengtu, Yuanshan Su, and others also experienced a throbbing in their minds, with blood gushing from their seven orifices.

Just when it seemed impossible to suppress, at the critical moment, Seventh Master coldly snorted and pressed his right hand against the mountain.

With this press, the power of the earth surged in, isolating the mountain!

Then, with his left hand, he took out an object.

It was a mirror!

It was the gift given to Xu Qing by the Immortal Lord of Seeking the Brightness, containing the power of his own constitution.

With this object, combined with Seventh Master’s power of the earth, they finally isolated Chaoxia Mountain, preventing the god’s body within… from breaking through the earth.

Although the longevity of this approach is uncertain, it at least temporarily thwarted the first wave of summons from the Purple-Green Crown Prince.

This was one of the many preparations Xu Qing made before deciding to come to the Purple-Green Upper Kingdom.

He had already foreseen an answer.

Because of the close relationship between the Purple-Green Crown Prince and the Upper Wilderness, a body formed from the flesh and blood of the Upper Wilderness would inevitably present a challenge to him!

Therefore, Xu Qing knew very well that he had to suppress his divine body before going to the Purple-Green Upper Kingdom to prevent any accidents.

At the same time, because he couldn’t allow his divine body to appear, he couldn’t merge with himself, thus failing to reach the most powerful and supreme immortal state.

So, all he could use was his immortal body.

This was also why he had been in seclusion!

He wanted to break through his cultivation level! However

, even after decades of seclusion, and despite his full efforts to absorb the light offered by the Huangtian Divine Clan, the final result was still insufficient for him to truly advance to the level of an Immortal Lord!

Although he had enough constitution, the source essence required for a Xia Immortal to advance to the level of an Immortal Lord was simply too much.

As for the mysterious light offered by the Huangtian Divine Clan, he had absorbed it for decades and had reached the limit of light.

Although there was still primordial matter within the light, Xu Qing could no longer absorb it. The remaining essence was the very key that light served as.

It could not be plundered by external forces.

Thus, Xu Qing emerged from seclusion and chose to come to the Purple-Azure Upper Kingdom.

At this moment, in the vortex scene summoned by the Purple-Azure Crown Prince in the sky, as Chaoxia Mountain stabilized, Xu Qing, standing on the palace square, suddenly looked up.

His eyes shone brightly, and he waved his hand towards the sky.

Instantly, the roar of the vortex in the sky intensified again, and then, amidst the tremors, it was pushed to rotate in reverse.

At the same time, Xu Qing’s cultivation level also surged in that instant, rising dramatically.

The fluctuations belonging to the late-stage Xia Immortal realm instantly filled the heavens and earth, enveloping the entire Devouring Domain, transforming into external force, making the vortex’s reversal abruptly.

At the same time, Xu Qing looked at the Purple-Azure Crown Prince in the hall, his words echoing,

“Seize!”

The instant this sound rang out, on the Ancient Continent, in the human capital, a grand ceremony had already been prepared.

This ceremony brought together all the strongest members of the human race, guided by the human race’s destiny and commanded by the Empress, and suddenly began.

As the ceremony began, a powerful beam of light rose from the human capital, heading straight for… the Devouring Heaven Domain.

Simultaneously, sensing the commencement of the human ritual, all the major domains of the Ancient Continent, and all the races within them, successively activated their pre-prepared rituals.

Each one was a culmination of the entire race’s power,

forming beams of intense light that shot into the sky, hurtling towards the Devouring Heaven Domain where Xu Qing resided.

This process, though seemingly lengthy, was actually completed in an instant.

The beams of light from all races, together with the human light, pierced through the void, appearing like meteors directly in the sky above the Devouring Heaven Domain.

There, they merged together.

Furthermore, the figure of the Ancient Heavenly Dao materialized within this light.

Within it, one could see the Ancient Spirit Emperor and Xu Qing’s Child of Heaven.

The moment they appeared, intertwined with the light, they spread out in the sky above the Devouring Heaven Domain, forming a gigantic mirror covering the entire domain!

The mirror, facing the Devouring Heaven Domain, reflected everything within it—mountains, rivers, and everything else!

This naturally included the Purple-Azure Kingdom and its imperial palace!

Under this reflection, the entire Devouring Heaven Domain blurred as the vortex reversed and sucked it away. Strands of fortune were materialized into wisps of gray mist, rising into the air and being absorbed by the mirror!

As the Devouring Heaven Domain blurred, everything in the mirror rapidly became clear!

This was… the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao seizing national fortune!

Xu Qing had gathered the power of all races to form an ancient mirror above the Devouring Heaven Domain, used to plunder national fortune.

This was one of Xu Qing’s plans.

The Purple-Azure Crown Prince wanted to seize his divine body, and his choice was to use half of the Purple-Azure Kingdom’s fortune as a catalyst to seize the other half.

Inside the Devouring Heaven Domain, in the imperial palace, the Purple-Azure Crown Prince, seated on his dragon throne, watched this scene unfold, his smile deepening, and nodded slightly to Xu Qing.

“Interesting.”

“My little brother has really grown up.”

“He even knows how to snatch our family fortune from his older brother now.”

“But do you know how much our family fortune is?”

Zi Qing smiled gently.
