Outside Of Time

1320 Xu Qing’s Path

The Divine Mountain shone with golden light but no divine decree was transmitted.

The gazes of the three magistrates were deep, but they remained quiet.

As for the surrounding Flame Moon Race members, those affiliated races, and countless onlookers, all of them were in high spirits and filled with anticipation. Only a few were surprised.

It was as though they weren’t too surprised by Flame Mystic’s challenge to Grand Mystic Heaven.

This was related to the habits of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.

Over the countless years, because the number of members of the Flame Moon Race was relatively small and in order to maintain the combat strength of their powerful race, this race tacitly allowed a certain degree of fighting. One of the reasons for the Grand Hunt was also for this.

They used the method of nurturing Gu to nurture the battle-thirsty blood of the race. Within this brutal environment of survival of the fittest, they selected for the strongest among them.

Hence, after choosing the Mystic Heaven Generals in every hunt, they would tacitly allow all parties to challenge them. However, this was only limited to that day.

This was within the rules.

Throughout the history of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, although there weren’t many people who challenged the Mystic Heaven Generals, there were still some.

Hence, no one found Flame Mystic’s challenge strange.

Moreover, Flame Mystic had first admitted Xu Qing’s identity as Grand Mystic Heaven. In that case, this wouldn’t be considered destroying the ceremony or questioning the fairness of the decision.

He was only challenging according to the rules.

However, he was challenging the Grand Mystic Heaven. Since ancient times… this was the first time this happened.

After all, the glory of Grand Mystic Heaven far surpassed that of the Mystic Heaven Generals.

However, Grand Mystic Heaven’s status was extraordinary after all, so they could reject the challenges.

However, Xu Qing’s reputation would more or less be damaged because of this. The glory of Grand Mystic Heaven would also be stained.

One naturally had to pay a price for challenging Grand Mystic Heaven. As a challenger, once they lost, they had to give away the soul blood that was closely related to their lives.

This soul blood didn’t control life and death but could be used as a substitute for death at critical moments.

However, if Grand Mystic Heaven lost, they wouldn’t have to pay any price.

Though it appeared unfair, those who dared to challenge the hierarchy must possess such resolve.

Hence, as Flame Mystic’s words echoed, all eyes instantly gathered on Xu Qing, waiting for his choice.

Xu Qing didn’t say anything and only calmly looked at Flame Mystic. He could naturally tell that although the other party’s right shoulder was burning with white flames and there was a majestic and astonishing great world inside… it wasn’t the Soul Accumulation realm!

“Second stage of Nihility.” Xu Qing narrowed his eyes.

If Flame Mystic had already reached the Soul Accumulation Realm and displayed such an aura, he wouldn’t care too much; the other party was just so-so.

But if someone who hadn’t yet achieved Soul Accumulation managed to create a world resembling that of a Soul Accumulation, it would be a different story.

This was a little inconsistent with Xu Qing’s previous judgment.

In his judgment back then, the other party’s gathering of an unprecedented great world within the emperor’s tomb was likely aimed at crossing the nihility and stepping into Soul Accumulation.

Right now, Xu Qing had to admit that he had underestimated Flame Mystic’s boldness.

This person actually used this great world that was enough to step into the Soul Accumulation Realm as the foundation for gathering his own laws, shaping the nihility land, and forming Illusory and Truth Myriad Transformations!

With this approach, he progressed step by step, and truly reached the great circle of perfection of Nihility and broke through to the Soul Accumulation realm, his formidable power would not only be rare but also enough to astonish peers in the ancient times.

‘As expected of the number one heaven’s chosen of the current generation of Flame Moon!’

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly as battle intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

Such an opponent caused him to be serious as well as have the rare thought of battle.

There was no need for words to express whether he would accept the challenge or not. The light in Xu Qing’s eyes already revealed the answer.

Seeing that Xu Qing’s battle intent was rising, the battle intent in Flame Mystic’s eyes intensified and the aura on his body grew stronger and stronger. The white flames on his right shoulder also erupted as he spoke in a low voice.

“Xu Qing, I’m at the second stage of Nihility and you’re at the first stage. Even though your Nihility is extraordinary, my Nihility still has the fortune of a world. Moreover, as a member of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, my body surpasses yours.”

“That’s why I won’t use my left hand in this battle!”

Flame Mystic calmly spoke and placed his left hand behind his back. He wouldn’t use his left arm at all in this battle.

Although his actions were a little silly, this was the thought of an expert.

It wasn’t for Xu Qing but for his dignity.

Even if he lost because of this, he would only lose this battle and not lose his heart.

Ever since he was young, he had fought countless battles and experienced several life-and-death situations. The name Flame Mystic was obtained by suppressing his fellow race members and other experts step by step.

Hence, his heart had always been firm. He knew that the path of cultivation was to fight with all living beings and the heavens. Xu Qing’s actions in the Divine Realm had already left a shocking impression on him, and he knew he must dispel this notion.

Victory could be broken, and he would still be able to continue on the path of invincibility in his generation.

If he was defeated, these thoughts would fuel his pursuit even more.

But to not fight would go against his heart.

After saying that, Flame Mystic lifted his right foot and took a step toward Xu Qing.

The instant he landed, the world rumbled.

The white flames on his right shoulder surged into the sky and spread between the heavens and the earth, sweeping in all directions.

His speed was so fast that he covered 50 kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The long sea of fire was shockingly hot, causing the color of the world to change. At the same time, the great world in the flames became even vaster. However, it was clearly still in a miniature state.

Its five hundred kilometers size was only its manifestation after shrinking to a certain extent.

This scene caused most of the people who saw it to be shocked and exclaim.

“This world…”

“Such a vast world, but it’s actually not the Soul Accumulation but the Nihility… How did he do it!”

“This is the number one heaven’s chosen of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven.”

Very few people here had seen the true vastness of this world. However, Xu Qing had personally witnessed the formation of this world and naturally understood that this was a peerless world that surpassed the ancient and present times.

“Before the trip to the Divine Realm, I was at the first stage of Nihility and this world was in its embryonic stage. At that time, I could fight against a Soul Accumulation One World, but it was a life-and-death struggle for both sides.”

“Now, if a Soul Accumulation One World is in front of me, I can easily suppress them. Even common two worlds are inferior to me. Even if I face the peak of the two worlds, I can still fight them.”

“I named this world the Flame Mystic World.”

“If you can withstand it, you can discuss divine arts with me!”

Flame Mystic stood above the world and his voice was like thunder. He lifted his hand and pressed down on Xu Qing.

The great world in the sea of fire below also rumbled at this moment, emitting a terrifying might that rumbled and oppressed Xu Qing.

Under this suppression, the bodies of those below the Soul Accumulation realm would become unstable and their minds would be in turmoil. Their souls would dim and they would lose all resistance.

Facing the suppression from such an astonishing world, Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed but he didn’t retreat at all. He understood that this was his first battle after stepping into the Nihility.

He wanted to use this battle to test his strength and judgment.

Hence, standing in the air, he raised his right hand and pressed forward.

With this push, the endless nihility land in his body instantly erupted. Soul threads broke through the soil and rushed out of Xu Qing’s body, appearing in the world and rapidly spreading in all directions.

There were so many soul threads that they seemed to be countless. They formed a sea of soul threads, causing lightning to flicker and the void to distort.

A million, ten million… a total of 40 million soul threads spread out in the sky at that instant. They rapidly gathered and instantly weaved, using the method of Variant Immortals to simulate all things to actually… form a large world!

This world was also in a miniature state and was 500 kilometers in size. The aura and pressure it emitted were also extremely terrifying.

Moreover, this was creating something out of nothing!

This was the… Dao of Variant Immortals that Xu Qing had understood from studying the predecessors’ methods and pioneering an unprecedented path.

What was especially astonishing was that the sound of the world being split open rang out from the great world formed by the Variant Immortal soul threads. A hundred illusory giant pillars rose from the ground in different directions.

The appearance of these pillars was filled with monstrous divine might. They were the illusory divine authorities gained by Xu Qing after swallowing the blood of the fragmented-face.

However, even though They were illusory, this large world was still enhanced.

Their enhancement actually made Xu Qing’s world seem like… a Divine Realm!

What was even more terrifying were the four pillars in the center of this great world. They weren’t illusory but real. Moreover, They were filled with mysterious runes.

They seemed to have soul-stirring abilities that surpassed the myriad of laws in the world.

They were naturally not a cultivator’s rune. They were Xu Qing’s… divine authority marks!

One was his vital mark, second was Purple Moon, third was God’s curse, and fourth was misfortune!

Their appearance caused the aura of Xu Qing’s world formed by the soul threads to soar violently again. Endless pressure rose, and it was actually superior in terms of aura to the vast peerless world from Flame Mystic.

This scene stirred up a huge storm and endless waves in everyone’s hearts.

“Is this Nihility!”

“Nihility… Before this, I didn’t believe that there could be such a Nihility expert in this world!”

“Moreover… there are two of them!”

Shock continued to erupt.

As Xu Qing lifted his head, the world formed by his soul threads rumbled and directly collided with the Flame Mystic World.

In an instant, the power of the two worlds erupted at the same time.

The sky seemed to be about to shatter and the ground was about to collapse. At the critical moment, a magistrate took action and an independent battlefield for Xu Qing and Flame Mystic was formed.

“Good!”

In the sky, Flame Mystic laughed loudly. As he lifted his right hand, the great world buzzed and soared again, increasing to the size of 5,000 kilometers. The fortune of this world rose, as though it wanted to transform into the world’s will.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. With a thought, the soul threads separated from his world and transformed into a huge divine eye!

That was the eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

As the eye stared at it, Flame Mystic’s great world instantly shook.

The fortune contained in this world actually flowed in reverse.

A large number of soul threads flew out, forming the Crimson Goddess. She was cold and prideful as She stepped into Flame Mystic’s world.

The world rumbled.

This wasn’t the end. At the next moment, Li Zihua’s figure was actually simulated by the soul threads and he walked into Flame Mystic’s great world.

Even the fishbone god appeared and stepped in.

There was also another unknown god’s eye that Xu Qing had seen back then that was oppressed under the Yinghuang Province’s Ghost Emperor’s weapon. It rapidly formed and entered Flame Mystic’s great world.

Gods descended one after another!

At this moment, Xu Qing, who was standing in the air, gave everyone the feeling that he was controlling the gods!

“So, this is Junior Brother’s path!”

In the crowd, the captain was excited.
