Outside Of Time

Chapter 1421: Like God Descending on Earth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For Xu Qing, killing was something he was intimately familiar with throughout his life.

From childhood, it had become his instinct. Living in a world where the strong prey on the weak, faced with so much evil and cruelty, the only way to survive was…

through killing.

Erasing those who harbored malice towards him meant ensuring his own safety.

The slums, the scavenger campsite, Seven Blood Eyes, Yinghuang Province, Fenghai County, Moon Offering Region, the human imperial capital, Flame Moon Region…

He continued to walk this path.

He couldn’t remember how many he had killed; the bamboo slip had long since been insufficient.

Perhaps only the cold wind formed by the envoy of death that accompanied the massacre would remember the exact number.

This was because it blew past everywhere Xu Qing went.

Now, the cold wind transformed into an undercurrent, spreading across the seabed.

There was no wailing sound, but the killing intent contained within it was extremely dense.

Like the rising Purple Moon, the purple moonlight was like countless blades; by the time you saw it, it had already passed through your perception, landing in your heart, seeking out your vulnerabilities to shatter them.

The remaining six Dao Protectors and Transient Evil’s son they were protecting in the center were shaken again.

The moonlight flickered around them, tearing through the seawater and cutting through the void, bringing intense coldness with it.

There was also the spreading of the fog of the Poison Restriction, causing the seawater that was filled with anomalous substances to become the vessel of the messenger of death, enveloping all life.

Poison wiped out all living beings and cursed all beings. The underworld descended upon this area.

The moon searched.

The poison invaded.

When these people sensed the moonlight, their bodies began to rumble from the inside. The sharp blades from the moonlight formed a storm, knocking open their memories and sweeping through their lives.

One of the Dao Protectors let out a heart-rending wail. The unspeakable secrets in his soul were illuminated by the moonlight and became his weakness.

His great worlds instantly turned purple, and the poison spread immediately. With the moonlight as a catalyst, it erupted in his body.

The Dao Protector wailed as his entire body rotted and melted into blood in the blink of an eye.

All of this caused the expressions of the cultivators from the Evil Life Holy Land to change. They felt an even more intense life-and-death crisis.

This was especially because this 500-kilometer-wide area was sealed, causing their contact with the outside world to be blocked.

Moreover, the death of four of their comrades cast a shadow over the remaining cultivators.

Previously, when they saw Xu Qing, they thought that they could kill him.

However, now… things had changed.

However, as heaven’s chosens, even in such perilous conditions, their resolve only wavered momentarily, ultimately remaining largely unshaken.

This was especially so for that son of Transient Evil. Although he was a silkpants, his mindset matched his status. Even now, faced with the death of four protectors, his killing intent surged, but he did not lose his reason.

“This sea area is his battlefield. We’ll leave first and report this matter to the holy land.”

“At that time, even if this person’s status is high, we will have a reason to make a move since he is the one who attacked us first.”

Transient Evil’s son slowly spoke. He didn’t transmit his voice but directly spoke.

He knew that Xu Qing could hear it and also hoped that the other party could hear it.

After that, he and the surrounding Dao Protectors quickly retreated.

As he tried to leave this area, he also controlled the needle from the Great Emperor.

He didn’t let it fly too far. Instead, he used it to stitch the karma in the surroundings, shattering the moonlight and breaking off the Poison Restriction.

Moreover, it was locked on Xu Qing at all times. Once Xu Qing appeared, this needle would immediately sense him.

The other five Dao Protectors also used their trump cards and activated their most precious organs or limbs with all their might. Their minds were also focused on the needle.

He was prepared to attack with all his might at any moment.

Just like that, time flowed by.

After the amount of time it took for an incense stick to burn out, when they retreated hundreds of kilometers, the needle suddenly flashed. It changed directions and headed straight for the right. Wherever it passed, the seawater would immediately surge.

“Attack!

II

Transient Evil’s son let out a low shout and performed a series of hand seals. The third eye on his glabella suddenly opened, forming a red light that directly pierced through the seawater where the needle was heading and instantly landed.

At the same time, the five Dao Protectors in the surroundings also used their trump cards without any hesitation.

The auras of these five Dao Protectors erupted, forming a powerful storm. One transformed into a giant salamander, another’s single hand grew massively, revealing a formidable form.

Another took on a bizarre shape, transforming into a long spear of flesh and blood, whistling through the air.

They took on different forms but their lethality was terrifying.

The seawater area around them directly exploded and turned into a vacuum.

The energy it stirred up was also powerful.

However, their divine abilities seemed to touch nothing. The Great Emperor’s needle also returned at this moment.

There was a drop of blood on the tip of the needle.

Looking at the blood, a bright glint appeared in the eyes of Transient Evil’s son. After confirming with his perception that there was nothing wrong, he threw it to a Dao Protector beside him.

“Use this blood as the medium to curse!”

That person didn’t hesitate. After catching the drop of blood, he immediately performed a one-handed seal and the few great worlds on his body appeared. All the living beings in the great worlds could sense the will of their lord.

They all knelt down and sent out their thoughts, forming a curse!

“I curse your body, may your life force be cut off!”

“I curse your soul, may your spirit be shattered!”

“I curse your origin, may your body and soul be obliterated!

II

As countless voices echoed, the drop of blood fluctuated intensely. In the blink of an eye, it turned pitch-black, as though it was being cursed, subsequently affecting its source.

However, at this moment, the expression of the Dao Protector who cast the curse suddenly distorted drastically. The moment he opened his eyes, they revealed unprecedented horror and exploded.

He wailed loudly and his voice came out in stutters as though he had suffered an indescribable fright.

“The source… of this blood…”

Before he could finish speaking, he trembled and his entire body turned pitch-black. It was as though he had been invaded by anomalous substances, as though he had glimpsed an existence that shouldn’t have been seen, as though he had cursed something he should never have touched.

He directly exploded.

His life force was cut off.

His spirit was shattered.

His body and soul were obliterated!

This was clearly a backlash, causing everyone’s hearts to palpitate.

No matter how unshakable their wills were, they shook at this moment. The scenes that happened today gave the few of them who were still alive a strange feeling as though they were facing a god.

This feeling rose uncontrollably as the cultivator who cursed Xu Qing died from the backlash.

At the same time, seven lights lit up in the pitch-black sea.

They were seven underworld fire lanterns!

Their appearance was like the eyes of the god of the underworld staring at them.

At the next instant, the seven lanterns began to flicker before extinguishing together.

The four Dao Protectors were fine, but their minds shook. As for Transient Evil’s son, his expression changed drastically and he felt as though he was on the verge of death. At this critical moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and controlled the needle.

He connected his karma and fate to a Dao Protector beside him.

In an instant, the feeling of near-death dissipated from his body. However, the Dao Protector stopped in his tracks. The curse of the Seven Lanterns Underworld Fire erupted and split his worlds. The moonlight landed in his heart and found the fragility of his soul upon which the Poison Restriction invaded.

He died miserably.

His death finally rang the bell of fear, causing Transient Evil’s son and the remaining three Dao Protectors to have no intention of continuing to fight.

They were afraid.

They had faced many powerful enemies in their lives, regardless of whether it was from the other holy lands or races from the starry sky.

Hence, they weren’t unfamiliar with killing.

However, this was the first time they had encountered such a strange massacre.

Killing through sound was already astonishing, but they were witnessing killing through moonlight, bizarre poison, backlash from the curse, and now the underworld fire curse.

What was even more terrifying was that they only saw Xu Qing at the start and didn’t see him after that…

Six of them had died.

In the blink of an eye, they each unleashed their extreme speed and fled into the distance.

However, in the seawater opposite them, the seven underworld lanterns appeared again and began to flicker, about to be extinguished.

Seeing this, Transient Evil’s son gritted his teeth fiercely. He raised his right hand and performed a seal.

This seal didn’t have any might but it was an order related to an oath.

When these people became his Dao Protectors, they had to swear to the will of the race that they would protect him at all costs, even at the cost of their lives.

Now, it was time for the order of this oath to be used.

The three Dao Protectors stopped silently. Determination appeared in their eyes and they no longer fled. Instead, they headed straight for the seven lanterns.

Transient Evil’s son was also feeling extreme anguish. These nine Dao Protectors were his direct relatives and had accompanied him for many years. However, now… six of them had been killed by Xu Qing.

The outcome of the remaining three was also destined.

“Xu Qing, I’ll definitely make you pay countless times over!”

Transient Evil’s son felt regret and killing intent. In the end, it transformed into a roar in his mind.

Behind him, the seven lanterns were extinguished and one Dao Protector died.

After that, dragon’s roars echoed and Jiuli was revealed. Coupled with the Poison Restriction and the moonlight, another Dao Protector died as Xu Qing’s figure flashed past.

Eight minutes passed.

Near the edge of this five hundred-kilometer-wide underworld, the eyes of Transient Evil’s son were red and he was in an extremely sorry state. As he controlled the needle to shatter the moonlight and the Poison Restriction, he sped crazily.

He was getting closer and closer to the boundary.

The hope in his heart grew greater and greater.

He was confident that when he reached the boundary of this barrier, he could shatter the seal with this needle and escape.

Once he was out of this barrier, he could contact the holy land. He believed that regardless of whether it was his father or the ancestor, they would arrive immediately.

Hence, he moved with his fastest speed.

However, when he was less than 10,000 feet away from the boundary, a voice calmly entered his ears.

“Now, you’re the only one left.”

As the voice rang out, a cold figure dressed in a purple robe and with purple hair fluttering in the wind, who was as handsome as a celestial being, carried a head and walked step by step into the gaze of Transient Evil’s son.

Undercurrents surged, as though they were transmitting the murmurs of death.

This caused Xu Qing who was walking over to resemble the God of Death.

It struck the mind of Transient Evil’s son and shook his heart.

Xu Qing stood between him and the boundary..
