Outside of Time

Above the clouds in the Wanggu's sky, at the peak, there had been no one there for a long time.

Ever since the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether left back then and the gods arrived, the top of the sky in Wanggu was covered by an invisible divine restriction.

This restriction was extraordinarily obscure, invisible to the eyes and imperceptible to the senses. It was like a massive lid that enveloped Wanggu, making it possible to enter but impossible to leave.

Unless one was like Li Zihua, who had transcended with the Divine Platform.

In the entire Wanggu Continent, after Mystic Nether and the emperors of the various races left to establish their respective holy lands, there were very few Divine Platform-level cultivators left now, almost non-existent.

Even flawless stage gods only had the possibility of advancing to the Divine Platform. Although there was the tribulation that was outside of omniscience, the required energy remained terrifying.

Therefore, unless They launched a divine war to devour each other, They would need time to accumulate energy before They could advance to the Divine Platform.

However, how could a battle of gods be started so easily? Moreover, gods were different from cultivators to begin with. They did not have to endure suffering.

To all the living beings in Wanggu, Wanggu was just like the doctrine of the Litu Sect, a cage.

That divine restriction was the gate of the cage.

It divided freedom and isolated liberation.

All the living beings in the Wanggu Continent could only wait silently for generations until the day Wanggu was completely devoured to exterminate their sea of bitterness.

They couldn't resist or escape.

This was Wanggu's fate, determined by the god's fragmented-face.

It devoured the Heavenly Dao and surpassed everything. It was like the will of heaven in Wanggu, prescribing fate for Wanggu.

This was the will of the heavens. How could anyone stop it?

However, today, something unexpected happened.

Someone managed to turn the impossible into possible, using an audacious method, leveraging the ascent of the Divine Realm, borrowing from the karma of the Crimson Goddess, and exploiting a loophole to defy fate, teleporting from inside the cage to the outside!

It was as though they had broken out of the cage!

Hence, almost at the instant Xu Qing and the captain's emperor's corpse appeared beside the fragmented-face, the expressions of many experts from the various races on the Wanggu Continent changed drastically.

They rushed out of their respective seclusion places and into the air. They couldn't hide the shock on their faces.

First, surprised by the jailbreak, second, surprised by the audacity, and third, surprised by the outcome!

There were even cultivators who exclaimed in shock.

"They actually got out!"

"Wha…"

"What a waste! Such a peerless opportunity is unprecedented. If we obtain it, wouldn't it mean breaking out of the cage?"

"What a pity, what a pity, what a pity! It'll be difficult for such an opportunity to appear again!"

The three gods also had different expressions. The Sun God's expression was gloomy and there was a chill in Their eyes.

The Moon God's expression fluctuated.

As for the Star God, She also had a pensive expression.

At that moment, the source of all the divine senses' attention, the emperor's corpse where the captain and Xu Qing were, had already pounced toward the sea of blood in front of them.

They didn't waste any time. In the blink of an eye, they completely entered the sea of blood with madness, greed, excitement, and hunger.

The instant they entered, a huge resistance and a terrifying pressure that could erase the will of all existences erupted in a chaotic and vast manner.

The terror of this power not only came from the sea of blood but also from the fragmented-face at the side.

This place was so close to the fragmented-face that no living being had ever come here. As for the aura of the fragmented-face, it was naturally extremely terrifying.

Even if the three gods were here, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long before they disintegrated and their bodies and souls were destroyed.

Erniu's preparations, no matter how comprehensive they were, still showed signs of collapse at this moment.

However, in this limited time, Erniu and Xu Qing were staking everything on the line.

They could sense the extreme danger but they clearly couldn't care less now.

They used the time of one breath to descend and rush into the sea of blood. In the second breath, the captain transformed into a large mouth and devoured crazily without caring about anything.

However, with just one bite, the captain collapsed.

He instantly reformed. With a conflicted and pale expression, he opened his mouth again. It seemed like he was no longer absorbing, but using a special method to contain the blood.

He looked like he was not afraid of bursting to death.

Xu Qing also madly took a bite. His body rumbled and the nihility land churned violently. His cultivation base then soared explosively.

The most astonishing thing was that over a hundred marks of divine authorities appeared in his nihility land!

One had to know that he had only accumulated four of them. Now, with just one mouthful of the blood, he had gained a hundred marks!

One could see how terrifying it was!

However, these marks of divine authorities were all dim and weren't actually formed. They were just phantoms and if he wanted to materialize them, he still needed to comprehend them.

However, it was still a peerless opportunity!

Even though he was somewhat prepared for this, Xu Qing was still incomparably shaken and excited.

His hunger also disappeared without a trace.

A strong feeling of satiation rose!

All of this took a long time to describe but in reality, it happened in an instant. Xu Qing gritted his teeth. Although he was full, he was risking his life here. How could he be satisfied with just a sip?

Hence, when the second breath ended and the third breath arrived, he opened his mouth and swallowed again regardless of everything.

At the same time, he did his best to stimulate his purple crystal.

If there was an item on him that could contain the blood of the fragmented-face, it would definitely be this item!

If the purple crystal couldn't do it either, Xu Qing would feel regret, but he would have no other choice.

At the next instant, purple light shone from Xu Qing's entire body and the sea of blood in the surroundings rapidly surged over.

It succeeded!

Xu Qing was excited and went all out.

However, time was ultimately limited.

All of this seemed like a long time but in reality, it only happened in three breaths of time.

When the fourth breath arrived, the Wordless Scripture's concealment finally collapsed.

Although it was magical and had been refined many times, it had reached its limit.

Without the concealment, only the emperor's corpse was left to protect them. Xu Qing and the captain were frightened but they didn't stop devouring the blood sea.

Under their crazy devouring, the sea of blood had already shrunk by 30%.

However, the collapse continued. The emperor's corpse was badly mangled and was turning into ashes.

This corpse wasn't ordinary. When it was alive, its cultivation was unknown but it was probably at least at the Great Emperor level. In addition, it had the authority of the Divine Realm. Hence, it became Xu Qing and the captain's greatest protective barrier here.

However, it had died after all. It was just a corpse with no source to replenish it, so at this moment, under the fragmented-face's aura, it rapidly disintegrated.

The aura from the fragmented-face could destroy fate and stars.

The emperor's corpse couldn't block it. Once Xu Qing and Erniu lost the emperor's corpse, they probably wouldn't be able to last a breath under the aura of the fragmented-face.

An extreme life-and-death crisis erupted in the sixth breath and death descended.

There was still 40% of the blood sea left.

"Do you still have a backup plan? If not, we should leave!" Xu Qing suppressed his greed and sent out his divine sense.

"Yes, I still have one last move!" The captain didn't use the feather to teleport away. Instead, he had a deranged expression and let out a loud shout with his divine sense.

"Master, if you don't appear now, you'll have no disciples!!"

Xu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

The scene that happened in the sky shocked all the cultivators again!

Breaking out of the cage was already horrifying, but what was even more shocking was Xu Qing and Erniu's greed.

This greed couldn't even be described as madness.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this event could be recorded in the history of Wanggu.

At that moment, be it the gods, the powerful races, the many experts on this continent, or the hidden existences, all of them felt waves in their hearts. Their minds buzzed and a monstrous storm surged in their hearts.

The Divine God Desolate whose half face was hanging in the sky and Its spine wrapping around the entire land of Wanggu, was supremely sacred, both in the past and present.

In its glorious days, Its name spread throughout this universe's thirty-six star rings and countless star domains. As a half-step Divine God, It had almost reached the pinnacle of this realm.

It was worshiped by the myriad worlds and countless lives' fates changed because of Its thoughts.

Even though It failed to break through and Its body collapsed under the unimaginable backlash, It still couldn't be offended.

Just as a whale's death sustained all life, so did a being like It.

Its fall had shaped countless gods over the countless years, with even the very ground where It trod giving rise to gods who followed in Its wake.

Respected as the Father God.

From this, one could see its supreme level.

Hence, since ancient times, even if there were people who were greedy for Its flesh and blood, no one dared to act.

If cultivators couldn't pass the divine restriction, they naturally wouldn't be able to obtain Its flesh and blood. The gods were incomparably respectful of It and didn't dare to.

Hence, wanting to take a bite of It was something impossible to accomplish before this.

Needless to say, the aura of the fragmented-face could wipe out all things.

However, today, under the gaze of everyone, two people not only appeared beside the fragmented-face but also pounced toward the sea of blood droplet with incomparable madness.

It wasn't appropriate to describe Xu Qing and Erniu as snakes devouring an elephant. To be precise, they were ants wanting to devour a giant dragon.

Most importantly, they seemed to have… succeeded but they were also about to be exterminated.

At this moment, the entire world was paying attention.

What was madness, what was recklessness, what was courting death…

This was it.

Hence, all the divine senses and gazes stared at them, wanting to witness their deaths.

However, at this moment…

A large golden hand suddenly appeared outside the divine restriction in the sky!

This large hand had astonishing divine might. The instant it appeared, it swept in all directions.

It actually grabbed a large piece of fragmented-face's flesh and even scooped up the blood sea where Xu Qing and Erniu were at.

After that, It grabbed another piece of flesh!

All the gods who were watching were shaken!

The expressions of the three gods changed drastically.

As for the fragmented-face's eyelashes, they moved slightly.

At the next instant, the large hand shook and collapsed.

Golden blood spurted out. However, it was obvious that the large hand that appeared at this moment was the source of greed. Despite the collapse, it still forcefully charged forward and transformed into a huge mouth that ruthlessly swallowed the flesh and blood before retreating.

However, the price was also huge. The palm collapsed and its fingers were destroyed, leaving only a ball of golden light that swept Xu Qing and Erniu away rapidly.

However, it was still too late. The golden light was destroyed. Just as it was about to dissipate, a shout echoed in Xu Qing and Erniu's minds.

"You two crazy brats, hurry up and escape! I can't hold on anymore!!"

Almost at the instant this sound rang out, in the remaining 10% of the sea of blood, the second feather suddenly activated in the dilapidated emperor's corpse.

Under the protection of the golden light, the power of teleportation instantly erupted, revealing a piercing light.

When the light appeared, Xu Qing was in a good mood. He lifted his head and controlled the fragmented eye of the emperor's corpse to stare at the golden light.

The golden light dissipated.

Xu Qing felt at ease and was about to retract his gaze. However, at the next instant, his eyes narrowed.

He saw hundreds of stars in the endless starry sky in the distance. They were like shooting stars and seemed to be approaching!

The distance was very far. Xu Qing didn't know what it was and was about to take a closer look but it was already too late.

At the next instant, the emperor's corpse he was in disappeared through teleportation!
