Outside Of Time

1435 Now, I’m the Hunter (2)

At the next instant, Star Flame lightly touched Transient Evil’s forehead.

Transient Evil’s rising cultivation base instantly collapsed. His body trembled and he was like a deflated balloon, directly shriveling up. Regardless of whether it was his aura or his body, they were extremely weak.

However, he didn’t die.

Star Flame’s voice also caused the dispirited him to tremble even more.

“Because what is here isn’t all of you, so you want to die early, right?”

Star Flame calmly spoke, revealing the truth.

What appeared here wasn’t all of Transient Evil but only a part of him.

After sensing Xu Qing’s karma, how could he not be prepared? In order to prevent his ultimate failure leading to death, he used the immortal art left behind by his race while chasing after Xu Qing.

This immortal art was bizarre. The principle was to engrave one’s memories and send them into the bodies of other living beings like seeds.

After triggering the awakening condition, this memory would erupt. It would be like the cycle of reincarnation, allowing the life occupied by his memories to become the new him!

According to his plan, if his trip was smooth, then this immortal art naturally didn’t need to be activated. However, if it wasn’t smooth… After using death as the trigger condition, although he would die, he would be revived to a certain extent.

However, right now, he wanted to trigger the immortal art, but death had become extravagant.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. His eyes were filled with coldness as he walked toward Transient Evil who was suppressed by the Star Flame God and couldn’t resist at all.

The moment he got close, Transient Evil raised his head and looked at Xu Qing. He looked at this human who he had chased all the way and almost assimilated. He tried his best to move the corners of his mouth and reveal a disdainful expression. His gaze even emitted killing intent.

He didn’t speak, but the meaning was already revealed from his expression.

He was telling Xu Qing that if it wasn’t for someone helping you, you would have long become a part of me. You… are nothing.

Xu Qing understood this expression and knew that the other party was asking for death.

Hence, after he got close, he put away the other party’s storage bag. With a raise of his right hand, a dagger appeared and he stabbed Transient Evil.

It was instantly penetrated. As blood flowed, Xu Qing expressionlessly slashed again.

A total of eight slashes.

From the moment he saw Transient Evil until today, nine days had passed.

However, he only stabbed eight times.

After that, as Transient Evil’s entire body was covered in blood and his breathing was weak, the shadow under Xu Qing’s feet instantly spread and enveloped Transient Evil.

Under Xu Qing’s divine sense, the little shadow instantly opened its mouth and devoured Transient Evil’s shadow.

At the same time, the heavenly vine crawled out of Xu Qing’s body and opened its mouth sinisterly. It also rushed toward Transient Evil and entered his body through the wounds, biting crazily.

An indescribable pain caused Transient Evil’s eyes to turn bloodshot and he let out hissing sounds. It was a sound that came out as he forced himself to not wail.

He wanted to die.

However, the pace of death was a little slow.

After torturing the body, Xu Qing raised his right hand and pressed it against the top of Transient Evil’s head. He began… Soul Refinement!

His soul threads were already exhausted and needed to be replenished.

The soul of a Ruler was naturally the most suitable nourishment.

At the next instant, the trembling of Transient Evil’s body suddenly intensified. The intense pain brought about by the collapse and refinement of his soul surpassed physical pain.

He instinctively wanted to resist but the pressure from Star Flame High God shattered all his resistance.

He was like a fish on the chopping board, letting Xu Qing to refine him.

Just like how he wanted to refine Xu Qing previously.

Everything was reversed.

As time flowed by and the refinement continued, as Xu Qing’s soul threads reformed, this endless pain caused Transient Evil to be unable to hold it in anymore. His face distorted and he let out a heart-rending wail that echoed in all directions.

Hearing the wails, Xu Qing’s expression was still calm. When the number of soul threads in his body had completely recovered and he was saturated, he looked at Erniu.

Erniu naturally knew about Xu Qing’s meaning. He licked his lips and took a step over. As Transient Evil shook, he raised his hand and pressed down as well.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow of the Heavenly Hound appeared behind Erniu. It devoured fiercely with greed and killing intent.

Immediately, the wails of Transient Evil became even more miserable.

After about fifteen minutes, Transient Evil’s soul had already collapsed and shattered. Only a trace was left, causing his life to still persist.

As for the soul of a Ruler, it wasn’t something Xu Qing and Two Ox could accommodate now. During this process, Star Flame helped and crushed the part they couldn’t devour for the time being into soul pearls.

Such spirit pearls were crystalline and resplendent. Any one of them could make cultivators go crazy.

That was refined from the soul of a Ruler and its value was extraordinary.

Xu Qing’s vengeance wasn’t over. After he finished refining the soul, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. The Profound Sun Immortal Light Technique erupted from his body and formed a large sun that rose into the air. At the same time, a Golden Crow manifested within it and spewed out the fire that refined all living beings.

This fire combined with the immortal light technique formed a terrifying might that immediately enveloped Transient Evil’s body.

Finally, under the devouring of the Golden Crow and the flames, Transient Evil’s body was devoured, continuing to be burned and refined.

Xu Qing’s goal was to see if he could refine Transient Evil’s erase authority.

At that moment, as Transient Evil’s body was devoured, there was only a broken pair of scissors left on the ground.

Xu Qing grabbed it and put it away. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

‘Since you wanted to refine me, I will refine everything you have.’

After doing this, Xu Qing turned and bowed to Jade Flowing Dust and Star Flame.

Jade Flowing Dust put down His teacup and gazed at Xu Qing, calmly speaking.

“You owe me one. When you’re done with these things, I’ll come to you.”

With that, His figure turned blurry and gradually disappeared with the surrounding bamboo forest.

After He left, everything in the surroundings changed into… a vast desert.

As for Star Flame, She gazed at the place where Transient Evil had disappeared and chuckled.

“Do you want me to help you find the rest of that dirty thing?”

Xu Qing shook his head.

“Xu Qing will remember the grace of the high god. I can handle the rest myself.”

The corners of the Star Flame God’s lips curled into a smile. She spoke the same words as Jade Flowing Dust, but the meaning seemed to be a little different..

“Alright, you owe me a favor. When you’re done with these things, I’ll look for you.”

As She spoke, Star Flame licked Her lips, Her charm becoming even more intense.

Xu Qing hesitated.

Star Flame let out a coquettish laugh. Her graceful body swayed as She walked into the altar. After She sat down, She transformed into a statue. The clay figures procession moved forward again, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Only Xu Qing and Erniu were left in the desert.

Erniu gazed at Xu Qing and grinned.

“Little Qing, what are you going to do next?”

A chill rose in Xu Qing’s heart and his killing intent grew dense. He gazed in the direction of the Forbidden Sea and narrowed his eyes. His voice was like a sharp blade.

“He still owes me a knife wound. Now, it’s my turn to hunt him down.”

…

In the depths of the Forbidden Sea, a huge plesiosaur was chasing its prey in the undercurrents.

Its huge body sped at the bottom of the sea. However, just as it caught up to its prey and opened its mouth to devour it, it suddenly trembled and its gray eyes shone with a colorful light.

A memory that didn’t belong to it erupted in its mind, turning into a storm that swept through everything, affecting its body, causing it to directly collapse.

Flesh and blood scattered in all directions.

However, at the next instant, these shattered pieces of flesh and blood rapidly gathered together, forming a humanoid body.

Its eyes suddenly opened. At first, it was at a loss, then it sobered up and its expression darkened.

“It seems that my main body has failed!”

As he mumbled, the person formed from the flesh and blood of the plesiosaur warily surveyed his surroundings as uneasiness rose in his heart.

“I wonder if the one who killed my main body was the one in that kid’s karma…”

“However, no matter what, my current state is extremely weak and I no longer have the power of a Ruler. In that case, according to my original plan, I need to find a place to hide for some time.”

At the thought of this, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and moved while concealing himself.
