Outside of Time

Taichuli Youzhu, located in the northern ice field, is extremely huge.

Thousands of feet thick body and endless height submerged into the sky, it seems to be supporting the heaven and earth.

There are countless runes and totems protruding from the pillars, some of which are dozens of feet in size, and some are more than ten feet in size. All this makes the monk look very small when climbing.

At this moment, Xu Qing was about 200 feet away from the Youzhu in Taichu. His right hand clasped the edge of the raised totem on the pillar, and he jumped directly to stand on the totem.

This totem looks like a fanged grimace, full of ferocity and evil aura.

Xu Qing glanced at it with a look of surprise on his face, because the figure that just appeared in the sea he recognized had some similarities with this grimace. But even he didn't expect that the soul formed by integrating countless resentments in his consciousness would be suppressed and destroyed by Ghost Emperor Mountain the moment it appeared.

This kind of destruction is different from the rules of climbing Taichu Liyou Pillar that Xu Qing understands.

Climbing normally, the monk will bear the impact of resentment. After the soul of resentment is formed in the sea of ​​consciousness, it is difficult to destroy and suppress, so it only needs to be driven out of the sea of ​​consciousness.

After being dispelled, you can move on until the next time the resentment gathers, forming a stronger soul of resentment in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the cycle starts again and again.

So the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

At the same time, there will also be a certain chance of receiving rewards if the dispelling is successful.

This reward is not given immediately but is given out after the participants leave Taichu Li Youzhu.

Just as Li Ziliang was like this back then, so were others during this period.

It's just that the chance is extremely low. At a height of about two hundred feet, the chance of getting a reward after successfully dispelling it is almost one in ten thousand. The higher you go, the chance will increase accordingly.

If you fail, you will be expelled from the Taichu Liyou Pillar and fall to the earth.

But there is no possibility of being taken away, because the resentful souls on the Taichu Liyou Pillar are all integrated with this pillar, suppressed by its fighting spirit, and unable to leave.

Likewise, they can also be said to be immortal.

But just now Xu Qing clearly felt that the soul of resentment in the sea of ​​consciousness dissipated. It is truly dissipated.

Or to be precise, he was swallowed by his Ghost Emperor Mountain.

Because at that moment when the resentful soul made a shrill sound and its body dispersed, Xu Qing clearly felt that his Ghost Emperor Mountain seemed more real.

And that grimace totem has the meaning of withering away.

But it's very slight and can't be detected from the outside. Only by touching it and paying attention can you see the clues.

This discovery made Xu Qing's eyes show a strange light, and he did not continue for a while. He was not sure whether this matter had violated some taboo.

So he waited for a while.

While waiting, he faintly sensed a faint spiritual thought coming out of Taichu Li Youzhu. This spiritual thought has no emotional fluctuations and is full of numbness.

After Xu Qing sensed it, he understood the meaning of a reward from within, but it was not specific and very vague.

At the same time, his pause also attracted the attention of everyone below.

After Xu Qing's battle with Li Ziliang, he has attracted much attention, especially now that he has climbed the Taichu Liyou Pillar for the first time, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.

No matter whether they were casual cultivators or sect disciples, everyone on the earth could not take their eyes away.

"Stop? It's only two hundred feet."

"It should be that he is adapting to the spirit of resentment, but it does take a long time."

"Could it be that this person's physical body is strong and his magic skills are amazing, but his soul is weak, which is his weakness?"

"Impossible, I have heard about this Xu Qing. He has a senior brother named Chen Erniu. He is extremely handsome and has a bold personality. He is known as the best person in the Eight Sects Alliance. He is even more kind to him. Under Chen Erniu's care Come on, this Xu Qing shouldn’t have any weaknesses!”

Everyone below was speculating and staring. Xu Qing waited for half a stick of incense. Seeing that nothing happened and no one came to stop him, he thought about it and continued to jump up.

When he let go, he stood on the Taichu Liyou Pillar and moved forward quickly, and with every step he took, he could feel the growing resentment emanating from the Taichu Liyou Pillar.

The so-called resentment is different from the death energy. Death energy often emits a cold feeling, making living creatures feel cold all over. For example, the coldness emanating from a restricted area often causes

They are all composed of death energy.

Resentment is a cold aura containing emotions, mainly resentment, which can affect the monk's mind.

This kind of impact is impact.

Xu Qing's ears echoed with countless shrill roars, which were the curses and madness of countless lives before death. Even if the hearing was blocked, it was useless. This kind of wailing would echo directly in the soul.

And the higher you go, the stronger the resentment becomes and the more it accumulates in your mind.

Gradually it permeated the soul and filled the sea of ​​consciousness, more and more, until Xu Qing reached a height of four hundred feet, and the aura of resentment in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly gathered.

The second soul of resentment is forming rapidly.

A trace of expectation arose in Xu Qing's heart. He wanted to see if the previous scene was an accident or coincidence, so he did not interfere and allowed the second resentful soul to gather.

It can be vaguely seen that the appearance of this second resentful soul is different from the first one. It has two curved horns, a larger body, and a huge tail behind it. It emits powerful waves all over its body. And the smell of antiquity.

It seemed as if it had stepped out of the long river of time, causing violent fluctuations.

There was also hoarse laughter echoing, revealing ferocity and greed, and a strong sense of hostility.

Xu Qing continued to observe as usual, until three breaths later, the body of the second resentful soul became clearer and clearer, revealing its turbid eyes with madness. He looked up to the sky and let out a roar, with his arms stretched out, as if he was about to emit evil.

But at this moment, the light of the Ghost Emperor Mountain in Xu Qing's consciousness shone again, and the vibration was heard again. In an instant, the body of the second resentful soul suddenly trembled, the turbidity in his eyes disappeared, and the madness turned into shock. , then turned into shock and disbelief.

"Ghost Emperor?!!"

In the blink of an eye, a shrill scream came from the mouth of the resentful soul. As the light of the Ghost Emperor Mountain shone, and as the Ghost Emperor Mountain shook, the body of the resentful soul suddenly collapsed and split into pieces. The black energy was directly sucked away by Ghost Emperor Mountain and integrated into the body.

The whole process takes less than ten breaths.

It's all over.

Xu Qing acquiesced, looking at the increasingly clear Ghost Emperor Mountain and the faces on it that looked more and more like himself, the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.

But no matter what, from the current point of view, all this is beneficial to him here, because he once again felt the spiritual thoughts of reward from the Taichu Liyou Pillar. So Xu Qing waited for a while and continued to run upwards. Soon he reached five hundred feet and then six hundred feet.

During this period, he discovered that rune totems with the meaning of withering appeared occasionally on this pillar, which meant that before this, someone had destroyed the soul of resentment in a similar way to him.

During this thought, a third spirit of resentment appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Suppress!" Xu Qing thought before it could be formed this time, and the Ghost Emperor Mountain suddenly shook, and the resentful soul screamed and died.

Xu Qing continued.

Seven hundred feet, eight hundred feet, nine hundred feet, one thousand feet!

During this process, as the resentment became more and more intense, more and more resentful souls appeared in Xu Qing's consciousness. One appeared almost every thirty to fifty feet.

Even after reaching a height of nine hundred feet, resentful spirits would form every twenty or thirty feet.

Such a high frequency makes it extremely difficult for monks to climb.

But for Xu Qing, everything is different.

"Suppression!!"

"Suppression!!"

"Suppression!!"

Xu Qing galloped all the way, and the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his body erupted with light and vibration, constantly suppressing the souls that appeared one after another. The screams of these resentful souls before they died out were the only sounds in Xu Qing's consciousness at this moment.

And his Ghost Emperor Mountain was also being devoured by this, slowly becoming clearer. The light on it was dark, and the transformed Xu Qing's face gradually became gloomy and full of chilling meaning.

This kind of gloom makes Ghost Emperor Mountain feel depressed, and the charm of his body also grows.

At the same time, the connection with Xu Qing became closer and closer, and it even gave Xu Qing a feeling that if this continued, one day in the future, he might be able to transform the Ghost Emperor Mountain outside his body.

What shocked Xu Qing even more was that he found that there seemed to be a faint figure on the hands of his Ghost Emperor Mountain.

The vague and illusory stick is gradually taking shape!

Now only the outline is not clear, but it does not affect Xu Qing's recognition that this stick... is very similar to Taichu Li Youzhu.

These discoveries caused a huge stir in Xu Qing's mind. At the same time, he also saw faint cracks appearing in Guidishan's body. It seemed that he was growing too fast and had no time to fully integrate himself, reaching a certain limit.

At this moment, the thousand-foot height he was at caused a violent uproar among the people paying attention below.

Before that, the tallest one was Li Ziliang, who was beheaded by Xu Qing. He reached a height of more than 800 feet.

Although there are some geniuses from various sects who did not participate due to various reasons, it has to be said that Li Ziliang's height is already astonishing at this stage.

But now, it was easily broken by Xu Qing.

"Thousands of feet high, this is the height I have dreamed of reaching."

"Hmph, if the Eight Sects Alliance also gives me Taoist treatment, I can be as tall as a thousand feet. This Xu Qing just has a better life than me. Maybe there are elders from his family in the Seven Blood Pupils, unlike me and other poor families. Every day Every harvest is earned through hard work.”

"I heard that Xu Qing was born into a poor family..."

"Do you believe this kind of words? This person's actions are to kill people. With this attitude, he must be a playboy."

"You are wrong. In fact, according to my information, Xu Qing is not a playboy. He is a man who repays kindness and respects his senior brother Chen Erniu. He once said that he would live and die together with Chen Erniu."

"I don't pay attention to these. What I pay attention to is what reward Xu Qing will get after this climb!"

In the midst of the crowd's discussions, which were complicated, shocking, sad and longing, Xu Qing stood thousands of feet away from the Youzhu in Taichu, with the strong wind blowing on his back, and raised his head to look at the higher place above.

His position seems to be very high, but in fact it is still far away from the clouds, and there is a longer part of Taichu above the clouds from Youzhu.

"We can't climb it for the time being." Xu Qing murmured in his heart. He sensed his Ghost Emperor Mountain. Through his close connection with it, he could sense that the mountain had absorbed too many resentful souls, so he had become exhausted. sign.

For example, those cracks were formed because of this and require further refinement before continuing. Thinking of this, Xu Qing made a decision in his heart and was about to let go and leave Taichu Liyouzhu, but the next moment his eyes condensed and he looked into the distance.

In the distant sky, there was a huge black mist, roaring towards this place. From here, he could clearly see that there was a giant in the mist.

The giant was green in color, and its body was almost three thousand feet long. It was extremely tall, and it also emitted waves of terrifying divine fluctuations. It was a divine creature.

It came flying in the clouds, and hundreds of figures in black Taoist robes stood on its body. Each figure looked extremely indifferent, as if there was no emotional fluctuation.

And above the giant's head, there was a red figure standing in the wind.

The huge evil ghost sickle was carried on the shoulder of the red figure, and he looked very heroic.

The moment he saw that figure, Xu Qing's eyes condensed slightly.
