Outside of Time

Xu Qing's figure stood there, as if standing on the boundary between life and death, standing in the fate of Transient Evil's son, replacing his world, blocking his hope.

This caused his heart to skip a beat.

It was as though a heavy stone had fallen into his sea of consciousness, stirring up monstrous waves.

He was even more shaken as he looked at the head Xu Qing was holding in his right hand. At that moment, it was swaying with the seawater. Its eyes that weren't able to close in peace emitted an aura of death, and being stared at by them made him feel as though he was seeing death.

What was even more terrifying was the heavenly vine swimming around Xu Qing, spreading in all directions. The starlight emitted by the vine made Xu Qing look even more divine.

There was also a shadow that fused with the seawater. At this moment, it gathered behind Xu Qing. In the end, it actually used the seawater to 'stand' up, forming a blurry tree.

The coffin hanging on the tree swayed like a pendulum. The eyes on the tree stared greedily at Transient Evil's son.

This scene was extremely bizarre.

At the same time, divine authorities flickered into being.

Sound was controlled.

The moon had an owner.

Poison was the source.

Misfortune was omnipresent other than on Xu Qing.

This caused Xu Qing to look like a god descending upon the mortal world.

After that, the moonlight headed straight for the son of Transient Evil like sharp blades.

The Poison Restriction followed the moonlight and invaded his body, seeping into his bones.

The sounds also formed a killing force.

The heavenly vine also rapidly approached Transient Evil's son.

The shadow was eager to make a contribution, and covered the area with all its might.

At this moment, everything at the seabed seemed to have a will, rushing toward a common enemy.

In front of Xu Qing, the seven underworld fire lanterns were flickering and about to be extinguished.

Transient Evil's son felt bitter but he didn't say anything. This was because sound was the other party's weapon and any words now wouldn't have much strategic meaning.

Threats were useless.

It was impossible for begging for mercy to be effective.

Everything was destined from the moment the other party changed his mind.

Or to be precise, all the events were inevitable after he misjudged the other party's combat strength.

Hence, intense battle intent appeared in his eyes and a fire of survival burned in his heart.

Only by fighting would he have a chance of survival.

Only by fighting would there be hope.

His body rumbled as he burned his soul, cultivation base, and body.

The source of all this burning was his bloodline!

As someone with a noble bloodline in the Evil Life Holy Land, his bloodline was purer than that of ordinary clansmen. At the same time, this body of his was also extraordinary. His father had paid a huge price to obtain it back then.

Now, they had all become fuel.

Silver fire erupted from his body, burning the seawater and also burning his madness.

His combat strength rose sharply!

Originally, he was in the Soul Accumulation two worlds stage and could display the combat strength of the four worlds. At this moment, under the burning, his combat strength soared and directly broke through his limit.

A terrifying aura erupted from his body and intertwined with the silver fire, forming a terrifying pressure.

That was the strength of Soul Accumulation Five Worlds!

There seemed to be just a difference of one stage between the four worlds and five worlds, but in reality, the difference in essence was extremely great. The five worlds was the first major leap in the Soul Accumulation realm.

Before the five worlds, the accumulation in Soul Accumulation implied the meaning of conception.

After reaching the five worlds, the accumulation signified the idea of nurturing.

The soul that was conceptualized and nurtured was not a god's soul, but the primordial spirit formed by the sublimation of one's own soul!

Once the primordial spirit appeared, it could be considered the master of rules and laws.

At this moment, the seabed for kilometers around suddenly trembled, and a terrifying aura rose from the son of Transient Evil. His flesh completely shriveled up, yet above his body appeared a translucent primordial spirit.

Its eyes were bright, its form vast, and to some extent, its aura even surpassed Xu Qing's, who stood before it.

The heavenly vine that was about to entangle it had no choice but to retreat.

The shadow also retreated rapidly.

That needle was also flickering and moving rapidly in the surroundings, blocking the divine authorities. At the same time, the primordial spirit raised its hand and pointed at Xu Qing.

With this motion, the rules arrived and the laws transformed into countless threads that rushed toward Xu Qing, wanting to entangle, seal, and punish him.

It was as though what the finger was pointing at was an enemy of the Dao, a defiance of the immortal, a rebellion against cultivation!

In an instant, the combat strength from the Soul Accumulation Five Worlds displayed an earth-shattering might that blasted toward Xu Qing.

The first to bear the brunt was the seven lanterns.

In the blink of an eye, the underworld fire was extinguished but it didn't bring about death. Instead, the lanterns shattered.

They couldn't stop the nomological laws drawn by that finger, causing this nomological storm to instantly drown Xu Qing.

The rumbling sound was no longer silent and spread in all directions.

This lasted until a cold voice rang out amidst the rumbling. It was as though it came from the heavens, rising above all other sounds.

"Rewind."

As this word reverberated, within the storm formed by the threads of law, a massive sundial appeared. This sundial floated in mid-air, unaffected by the sweeping threads of law, unmoved in the slightest.

The gnomon on the sundial started to turn backward. Initially, it was slow, but within a few breaths, its speed rapidly increased. In the blink of an eye, time in this place astonishingly reversed.

The seawater flowed back and the storm retreated.

As for the son of Transient Evil, his entire body trembled violently. The nomological laws that were controlled by his primordial spirit instantly dissipated and his primordial spirit body disintegrated.

In an instant, it disappeared and his withered body appeared.

Everything returned to before he burned himself!

His strength was still at the four words Soul Accumulation stage, not the five worlds.

This scene caused the mind of the son of Transient Evil to shake violently. His expression changed drastically and he was about to burn everything again when…

On the sundial, Xu Qing's figure was revealed. Endless light emitted from his body like the sun, illuminating the surroundings. At the same time, these lights gathered together and formed a beam.

It headed straight for the son of Transient Evil.

Darkness was torn apart, the void was shattered, and everything in the path was destroyed.

That was Xu Qing's Profound Sun Immortal Light.

It was as domineering as the sun and its immortal might was like a calamity.

In an instant, it enveloped the son of Transient Evil. A piercing wail, an unbearably painful scream, uncontrollably erupted from his mouth, heart-wrenching and desperate.

His body instantly became a bloody mess, and as his entire form disfigured, he began to dissipate, as if about to be erased by this immortal light.

At this critical moment, the madness in his heart transformed into an inhuman roar.

"Immortal Art, Return to Oneness!"

Immortal arts were created during the time of Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether, classified as forbidden techniques, and nearly extinct in Wanggu, with only remnants remaining.

However, it was obvious that there were many immortal arts in holy lands.

As Transient Evil's son shouted, the Great Emperor's needle shone brightly. As it rapidly moved around him, the red threads behind it actually outlined figures.

Those figures were like souls. They were none other than the nine Dao Protectors Xu Qing had killed earlier.

However, to be precise, these figures weren't souls but karma.

This needle stitched up the karma of the nine dead people. After connecting them together, the needle headed straight for Transient Evil's son and pierced between his brows.

In an instant, Transient Evil's son's injuries no longer worsened. The silver flames formed on his body again.

It resisted Xu Qing's immortal light.

His primordial spirit reappeared instantly and the immortal light dimmed.

The aura of Transient Evil's son, who had escaped death, rose again. His expression was sinister as he looked at Xu Qing.

"I'll use the price of forever falling from the Soul Accumulation cultivation to unleash this technique. I don't believe… that I can't do anything to you!"

Transient Evil's son shouted. His primordial spirit shone, towering about 10,000 feet tall, stirring the Forbidden Sea with even greater grandeur than before.

Its large hand controlled the nomological laws and pressed down on Xu Qing.

Its aura surpassed the past.

Just its hand pressing down caused the seabed to rumble.

This time, not only did he burn his bloodline, but with the enhancement of the karma of the nine Dao Protectors, this burning contained fate.

To a certain extent, he was blazing his future.

In this way, he obtained the temporary strength of peak Soul Accumulation Five Worlds.

Moreover, with the Great Emperor's needle stabilizing his spirit, rewinding time was even more difficult.

This was his final trump card!

At that moment, as he shouted, his large hand rumbled and headed straight for Xu Qing. The void around Xu Qing seemed to have been sealed and he couldn't dodge.

"This needle is interesting."

Xu Qing's expression was still calm. He looked at Transient Evil's son's forehead, which was also the place where the needle had pierced.

He didn't do anything and allowed the primordial spirit's hand to land on his head.

After a loud boom that spread in all directions, Xu Qing still stood there unscathed.

Transient Evil's son was stunned. A huge wave of emotions surged in his mind as he looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Wha… wha…"

He shouted and stimulated his primordial spirit again, erupting with even more strength. Once more, he wielded the rules and laws, carrying his own madness and overwhelming killing intent, and raised his hand, bringing it down towards Xu Qing.

Boom!

Xu Qing was still standing there.

Transient Evil's son fell silent. At the next instant, he suddenly moved past Xu Qing and fled.

He knew that he couldn't maintain his current combat strength for a long time and Xu Qing's strangeness had exceeded his imagination. He had never heard of such an existence in his life.

He wasn't willing to think about the reason. Horror and despair occupied all his thoughts.

Now, he only wanted to escape.

Xu Qing turned around and looked at the back of Transient Evil's son. He then waved his right hand gently.

With this wave, the seawater in the five hundred kilometers range had a boundary.

That boundary was the mouth of the well.

The seawater inside became well water.

It was Fishing the Moon From the Well.

Transient Evil's son suddenly paused. His spells, treasures, and everything he had were reflected in the seawater at this moment, including the Great Emperor's needle.

As for the cultivation base he had obtained by blazing his potential, it had reached its limit. As he remained motionless, his increased cultivation base dissipated on its own.

Xu Qing scooped the water out.

He took out that needle.

After doing this, a sword cry rang out from within Xu Qing's body.

At the next instant, a sword light flashed. An earth-shattering sword qi shook the Forbidden Sea and shattered fate, slashing at the soul and body of Transient Evil's son.

With one sword strike, the soul shattered and the body collapsed!

The sound of the sword then turned into the power of sound authority, shattering the battlefield.

After doing this, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and walked toward the deep sea. Having dealt with these disturbances, he prepared to wait for the arrival of the dragon carriage giant.

However, just as Xu Qing moved 10,000 feet, he suddenly paused, abruptly turned his head, and for the first time, a grave expression appeared on his face. His heartbeat quickened, as if a great calamity was about to descend.

He sensed that he was being locked onto by a terrifying gaze!

This gaze didn't come from the dragon-carriage giant but from a place in the Evil Life Holy Land where Transient Evil had been in seclusion for a hundred years.

The terrifying figure sitting cross-legged inside opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the sky outside the holy land darkened. Endless dark clouds rolled over and the seawater fluctuated intensely until immense waves surged into the sky.

A boundless presence swept through the world, causing the laws to lower their heads and bow.

The islands in the surroundings shook violently. Countless races of the Forbidden Sea felt their hearts inexplicably tremble in fear.

The tribesmen in the Evil Life Holy Land also had their own thoughts churning.

The power of a Ruler shook the world at this moment. It even replaced the sound of heavenly lightning and swept up astonishing killing intent as it landed in the Forbidden Sea.

"The person who slain my son, I saw you!"
