Outside of Time

Moreover, this place was very far from the depths…

It was near the coast of the outer sea.

'I brought them here to fish, but this… how can I fish randomly!'

Jade Flowing Dust sighed helplessly inwardly. He waved His hand, taking out a cup of tea and sending it over.

"Please have some tea."

Those grape-like eyes all squinted, releasing tendril-like appendages that wrapped around the teacup. Then, They slowly sank into the sea, disappearing into the depths.

Jade Flowing Dust was weary.

Sensing that Xu Qing and Erniu were leaving, He hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't stop them.

"I just hope the next period will be peaceful enough to successfully lure out the returning true god. I can feel that… It is already stirring."

"Also, It's very weak…"

Anticipation rose in Jade Flowing Dust's heart.

His expectations differed greatly from reality. It seemed that His story authority had been affected and distorted by the outer sea.

The reason might be attributed to something Erniu said a few days later on the silent outer sea.

"Little Qing, I've been recalling these few days. The little girl acted because of my thoughts. Then, the sun seemed to make a move because I said that we were safe…"

On the great wing, Erniu had a solemn expression as he looked at Xu Qing.

"I think something's wrong!"

"In this outer sea, it seems that my words will form a strange power!"

"Are the ancient legends true?"

When Xu Qing heard this, he looked at Erniu and his expression turned solemn. This was because he was actually thinking about a similar question on the way. However, he didn't think the reason was his Eldest Senior Brother but his identity as the Golden Crow.

He kept feeling that after he stepped into the outer sea, an ancient gaze was faintly staring at him.

Upon hearing Erniu's words, Xu Qing asked.

"What legend?"

Erniu took a deep breath.

"The legend says that the outer sea has a master. This master was incredibly handsome, the greatest in all the heavens and earth, with unparalleled grace, countless consorts in his harem, and an ancient and sacred presence. But one day, he grew weary of his invincibility and left this sea."

"Before leaving, he left behind a message: 'When I return, the gods will come to worship me.'"

Erniu coughed.

At first, Xu Qing was still listening very seriously. However, he soon realized that something was amiss.

"Eldest Senior Brother, where did this legend come from?"

"From me."

Erniu chuckled and shook the hair on his body.

"I'm just joking. Haha, I just saw that we have been too nervous these few days. Don't worry, don't worry. I have memorized our route. We've passed through this sea area before. It's safe…"

Before Erniu could finish speaking, a drastic change occurred!

A loud explosion suddenly rang out from the area they were in. This was extremely abrupt in the silent outer sea.

Huge waves rose on the surface of the sea.

It was like a tsunami.

This was also a situation that had never happened before.

Xu Qing's heart trembled. Erniu's eyes widened and he gasped.

The two of them immediately tried to control the great wing to rise into the air and avoid the waves on the surface of the sea. However, at the next instant… the surface of the sea in this area actually rose into the air first!

If one were to look down from the highest heavens, they would clearly see that the sea surface in this area was rising in a circular shape, with an enormous scope. The great wing where Xu Qing and Erniu were at was merely a dot.

As the circular sea rose and became clearer, it turned out to be a bowl!

This sea area was actually a sea within the bowl.

A multi-armed sea demon that was the size of a province revealed a portion of Its figure.

It was soul-stirring and vast!

Each of its hands was holding some items. One of them was holding… the bowl sea where Xu Qing and Erniu were.

It was moving forward.

Xu Qing and Erniu's hearts rumbled and they didn't dare to move at all.

Clearly, their existence was insignificant to this terrifying ocean demon. Hence, after several hours, the huge sea demon entered the surface of the sea again and disappeared.

The bowl also entered the sea.

On the great wing, Xu Qing and Erniu's countenances were pale.

In the distant void, Jade Flowing Dust's face was also pale.

"There's a huge problem with the two of them. Otherwise, it's impossible for such weak baits to attract such an old existence!"

"I brought them here to fish, but not to fish for such fish!"

Jade Flowing Dust felt that if this continued, these two might attract even more terrifying existences. At that time, before His fish arrived, the bait and Him, the fisherman, would probably die first.

At the thought of this, Jade Flowing Dust no longer hesitated. He instantly disappeared and when He reappeared, He was on the great wing where Xu Qing and Erniu were.

After seeing Jade Flowing Dust, Xu Qing and Erniu's emotions fluctuated. They felt a bit guilty and immediately paid their respects.

"No need for greetings, I'll bring you guys away!"

"Ah? Didn't you tell us to move on our own?" Erniu hurriedly asked.

"If you guys continue on your own, I'm afraid you'll encounter an existence that can devour me in one bite."

Jade Flowing Dust wasn't willing to waste time. As He spoke, He waved His hand, picking up Xu Qing and Erniu and stepping into the sky.

"Senior, you must be joking. How could we possibly encounter an existence that could devour Senior in one bite…"

Just as Erniu uttered this, Xu Qing took a deep inhale and his scalp felt a little numb. He thought of how terrifying Eldest Senior Brother's utterances were earlier and was about to remind Jade Flowing Dust.

At the next instant, Jade Flowing Dust suddenly raised His head and His countenance changed drastically.

Xu Qing and Erniu also sensed the abnormality and raised their heads to look over.

"How did the sky turn red?"

Erniu mumbled, gaze wide open, completely panicked.

"Are my utterances really so effective in the outer sea?"

As for Xu Qing, other than shock, he had another feeling.

He felt it—the faintly discernible gaze that had been present since he entered the outer ocean seemed clearer at this moment!

At the next instant, the sky fell!

It was as though an earth-shattering existence had opened its mouth…

Or rather, this existence had long opened its mouth and was now closing it.
