Outside of Time

The gap between monks in the realm of Nascent Soul is astonishing. With different backgrounds, the small differences will be magnified countless times.

Because it involves the number of Nascent Souls and the number of life tribulations, as well as different ethnic groups and personal experiences, the strength or weakness cannot often be seen at a glance like the Heavenly Palace.

Unless they are extremely different from each other, the breath can be sensed.

Otherwise, it must be carefully measured.

But fundamentally speaking, all races have the most basic understanding.

The first destiny calamity is to give the false baby the meaning of being real, so that it can truly become a Taoist baby with the combat power of Nascent Soul.

As for the second life calamity, the power of the Nascent Soul is doubled with the blessing, one baby has two powers, and the third calamity has three powers!

Xu Qing met the Tianmian clan monk before. He was the genius of his clan. Although he did not have a life lamp, he had seven Dao Infants and had experienced two life tribulations.

Therefore, his basic combat power, with the blessing of Fate Tribulation, can be regarded as the combat power of the Fourteen Infants.

This is also the reason why he still took action after noticing Xu Qing's Thirteenth Dao Infant Queen.

As for his past, it can be clearly seen from this that he had seven heavenly palaces when he was in the golden elixir, and he had the four fires when he was building the foundation.

The Dharma Aperture must be one hundred and twenty.

One hundred and twenty-one who did not achieve the ultimate.

After all, along Xu Qing's journey, he had never encountered anyone who could truly achieve the 121 Dharma Acupoints except Sheng Yunzi and Kong Xianglong.

There may be more, but it hasn't been shown, and Xu Qing can't judge.

But these are just the basics. It can also be used as an important measurement method in the Heavenly Palace. However, the fighting between Nascent Soul monks has changed greatly.

In similar cultivation, the criterion for measuring each other's strength is not only the realm, but also the factors of treasures and techniques, as well as the different talents and adaptability of each ethnic group in actual combat.

Each item is critical and can determine victory or defeat.

Therefore, the power of Nascent Soul cannot be used as the complete basis, but can only be used as a simple reference for each other.

Many times, you need to fight to know your strength and weakness.

The same is true here in Xu Qing.

Each of his thirteen Dao Infants has experienced a fateful calamity, so the foundation he possesses at this moment is theoretically the thirteen infants' combat power.

But his Tao Ying is too special, whether it is the imperial level skills or the gods, or the blessing of heaven and treasures like the Time Vase, as well as the morning glow and the sundial lamp.

All these factors, accumulated over time, have made Xu Qing's combat power beyond the normal range in the realm of Yuanying. It is equivalent to making him as powerful as Dao Ying at this moment, comparable to the cultivation of two life tribulations.

In other words, the most basic combat power Xu Qing possesses now is the twenty-four infants!

The reason why it is not twenty-six is ​​because he still has two life lamps that have not been refined. Once the remaining two are turned into sundials, he will have the combat power of twenty-six.

However, Xu Qing is still cautious, because he can make Dao Ying special, but it doesn't mean that others can't, and the same is true for treasures and techniques.

This is also the difficulty between each other in the realm of Yuanying.

At this moment, after these thoughts flashed through Xu Qing's mind, his body rose into the sky from the magma, and the thirteen Tao Infants exploded, forming a terrifying combat power comparable to the twenty-four infants, and shot straight into the sky.

He was so fast that he appeared in front of a One-Calamity Mirror Nascent Soul cultivator in an instant.

The expression of the monk from the Mirror Shadow Clan changed. Even though half of his energy at the moment was spent on blessing formations, his rich combat experience and adaptability still allowed him to withdraw most of his attention in an instant, and the six Nascent Souls in his body exploded. .

He even opened his mouth and spit out a flying sword, and the lenses between his eyebrows shone, reflecting the approaching figure of Xu Qing. His face followed the mold and turned into something similar to Xu Qing.

This is one of the talents of his tribe. He uses this to bless himself and his combat power suddenly leaps to the level of eight infants.

This kind of talent combined with his reaction is already very good. If another calamity cultivator were to sneak attack, it would probably be difficult to complete the kill.

But if the gap in absolute strength is too big, then many uncontrollable variables will have to become controllable.

So the next moment, when Xu Qing whizzed past, cold light shone, and the head of the Mirror Shadow Clan monk was directly separated from the body.

When the blood flowed out and the shrill screams came out, Xu Qing was already far away and rushed towards another Nascent Soul Mirror Shadow Clan.

At the same time, Xu Qing's drug ban was also rising all around, and the target was not the Yuanying monks, but those in the Golden Pill Heavenly Palace.

Xu Qing's strength has improved, and his Poison Forbidden Pill has also shown more vicious and terrifying power. At this moment, at least seven Tiangong monks screamed in surprise as it spread.

Before they even reacted, their bodies instantly turned purple and black and began to rot.

The shrill and frightened sound spread throughout the world.

There were even a few Tiangong monks who trembled, their eyes instantly darkened, and a strange smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. They suddenly turned around and went straight to the giant mirror formation. When they got close, they suddenly self-destructed.

As the roar echoed, a ray of red lightning circled a fish bone and shuttled inside. Wherever it passed, the killing was staggering.

This scene made the expressions of the Mirror Shadow Clan monks here change.

Chaos broke out here almost instantly.

Duanmu Zang, who was fighting against the pressure of the giant mirror, was also stunned. After noticing the poisoned Mirror Shadow Clan monks, he shrank and immediately recognized the source.

"It's that treacherous boy!"

So he shouted loudly.

"Don't waste time, fight quickly, kill the Nascent Soul outside, so that the formation will not be blessed, and I can get out of trouble!"

"Hurry, the National Master of the Mirror Shadow Clan is on his way here!"

As soon as Duanmuzang spoke, the face on the giant mirror turned and was about to look at Xu Qing, but Duanmuzang laughed loudly, not caring about his own injuries and his cultivation level exploded.

I saw eight Nascent Souls rising from his body, each of them possessing the power of five life tribulations. What is even more astonishing is that behind these eight Nascent Souls, there is a hidden shadow that is vaguely revealed. come out.

However, this secret treasure is collapsed and full of decay, which is obviously caused by the failure at the moment of breakthrough.

Even so, its combat power still surged so much with the appearance of the secret shadow that the giant mirror in the sky had to look back at Xu Qing and suppress it with all its strength.

The roaring sound echoed in the sky, and Xu Qing's attack was faster.

Duanmu Zang didn't need to remind him. The moment he decided to take action, Xu Qing knew that this battle must end as soon as possible and could not be delayed.

So at this moment, the drug ban broke out, shadows were raging, and fish bones were flying, Xu Qing's body quickly approached a Yuanying monk of the Mirror Shadow Clan.

But at this moment, the other Mirror Shadow Tribes also reacted. As roars came out, two second-class Nascent Souls and one third-class tribulation were galloping towards him from all around.

Seeing that he was getting close, the morning glow in Xu Qing's body suddenly shone and swept outwards.

The colors in the four directions were directly replaced by seven colors. When it was bright, the footsteps of the people who arrived stopped one after another and retreated. Xu Qing's body directly turned into a ghost, and with a rush, it penetrated directly from the body of the Mirror Shadow Clan monk in front. And passed.

The two Nascent Souls were caught in his hands and crushed into pieces.

Dozens of demon bodies, with ferocious looks, rushed into the body of the mirror shadow clan monk.

The next moment, a miserable scream echoed from the mouth of the Mirror Shadow Clan monk. His body trembled and withered rapidly, Xu Qing's body retreated violently.

Almost at the moment he retreated, the place where he was originally was blasted into a huge vortex by the Three Tribulations Mirror Shadow monks who rushed in.

"You humble human being, you are looking for death!"

The mirror shadow clan monk roared, and seven Nascent Infants shone in his body, five of which were three tribulations and two two were second tribulations, erupting with a terrifying combat power of close to twenty infants.

Behind him, a black mirror transformed and blessed him. A huge bat was bound inside the mirror, and sound waves were sent out towards Xu Qing from the mirror, exploding in all directions.

At the same time, there was a long spear in his hand, which was surrounded by countless wailing resentful souls. The bunches spread like smoke, with an astonishing momentum.

It's not over yet. There are two of the Three Tribulations Mirror Shadow Clan here, and now another one is approaching.

This man was dressed in black armor, with seven will-o'-the-wisps floating above his head.

Each one was transformed by his Nascent Soul. The cloak behind the armor was waving, and countless eyes were formed on it, all opened and glaring at Xu Qing.

Not only that, there were four Second Tribulation Mirror Shadow Clan, roaring from all directions, surrounding Xu Qing.

Duanmu Zang became serious when he saw this scene. Although it was easy for him to kill these mirror shadow tribes after he escaped from the trap, he was a little unsure of Xu Qing's combat power.

"This boy's Nascent Soul is a bit weird!"

At this moment, poisonous mist filled the air in all directions, and the screams became more and more shrill. Xu Qing was surrounded by six mirrored Nascent Souls, approaching.

But at this moment, Xu Qing's eyes were filled with ice. He instantly pulled up the pointer on a sundial in his body, and his eyes fell on the monk from the Three Tribulations Mirror Shadow Clan who was closest to him in front of him.

In an instant, time stopped on the first sundial in Xu Qing's body.

This force of stillness followed his gaze and affected the monks from the Mirror Shadow Clan who were stared at by his eyes.

The body of this Three Tribulations Mirror Shadow Tribe monk paused, his expression remained ferocious, and his body seemed to be frozen, as if the time that belonged to him had been stagnated.

Although it only takes a moment to return to normal, for a monk at the Yuanying level, a moment can mean life and death.

Xu Qing's dagger slashed across the man's neck at the moment his time was restored, blood spurted out, and his head flew up.

Xu Qing didn't have time to absorb too much. After grabbing two Nascent Souls and crushing them, the pointer on his first sundial had to fall, and the withering of the dial was far worse than when he was tested with Ling'er.

But it is not irreversible and is now recovering.

Xu Qing ignored it. While the other Mirror Shadow Tribes were horrified, he looked at the other Sanjie and pulled out the pointer on the second sundial.

The mirror shadow clan monk's mind was stirred up by a huge storm, and his eyes showed shock and disbelief. The scene before his eyes was that his companion suddenly stopped for some unknown reason.

Without any resistance or struggle, he seemed to have become a puppet and was directly killed by the human monk.

"This is..." Before he could continue thinking, Xu Qing's eyes fell.

In an instant, the body of the Three Tribulations Mirror Shadow Clan was shaken, and they lost all sense and everything. At the moment of recovery, he saw Xu Qing's face.

Its head flew up, and its Nascent Soul withered away.

Everything happens in two moments.

All the mirror images around them screamed in alarm. At this moment, their scalps were numb and they were extremely horrified. They immediately stepped back and were about to escape.

Xu Qing ignored it and went straight to the giant mirror formation.

"This object is the most precious treasure of the National Master of the Mirror Shadow Clan. It cannot be destroyed. But now that no one is there to support it, it will be easy to handle. You stand back, I am going to explode a Nascent Soul to open a gap!"

Duanmu Zang suppressed the shock in his heart at Xu Qing's attack, roared, and was about to self-destruct.

But Xu Qing raised a finger with his right hand, and the red lightning transformed by the ancestor of the Vajra Sect roared from a distance.

The speed was so fast that the moment he approached, he drove the fish bone and stabbed hard at the giant mirror.

The face on the giant mirror looked at Xu Qing fiercely. He was about to speak, but his expression changed drastically in the next moment.

In the roar, the fish bones ignored all the protection of the mirror and penetrated directly, stabbing the mirror surface like a broken bamboo.

With a kacha sound, the mirror shattered.

Xu Qing did not look at Duanmu Zang, but turned around and waved.

The poisons all around came straight towards him, as did the shadows, and the fish bones turned into red light and fell into Xu Qing's hands.

Xu Qing's speed exploded, and he ran straight into the distance to escape from this place.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word.

It came with thunderous force and left silently.

The giant mirror was trembling violently at this moment, and the cracks on it were spreading. The face was distorted, and the expression changed rapidly. He raised his head and stared at Xu Qing who was walking away.

Duanmu Zang, who was trapped by it, also took a breath, and then quickly stopped the act of self-destructing the Nascent Soul. He rushed out along the gap, and then overhauled it, and the collapsed secret cache hit the giant mirror.

boom!

The mirror had more cracks and fell from the sky, hitting the magma.

The face inside opened as if to say something, but the damage was so severe that it was difficult for his spiritual thoughts to be conveyed.

Duanmu Zang snorted coldly and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm at him.

The phlegm was so heavy that it hit the face of the mirror, causing it to sink into the magma.

After doing this, Duanmuzang turned around and walked away quickly.

Three hours after they left, a storm of fire broke out in the distance, and inside it was a huge figure, wearing a golden robe, without a face, and the whole face was a golden mirror.

He came roaring and paused here, looking down at the magma.

The face reflects the surrounding scenes.

After a long time, he raised his right hand to grab it, and he took out the mirror that had sunk under the magma. He held it in his hand for a while, and a cold sound came from the mirror face.

"Human race..."

Three days later, thousands of miles away on the sea of ​​​​sky fire, Xu Qing was roaring and galloping. In the past three days, he had not stopped at all. While hiding himself, he continued to approach the shore.

The sky here has become brighter and brighter in the past three days, and the flames seem to be more intense than before. The blooming of magma flowers has also become more frequent.

The temperature here continues to rise, spreading a feeling of burning souls.

"We have to get back to shore as soon as possible. Even if our body can hold on like this, our soul will be melted."

Xu Qing felt the withering coming from his hair, and his soul also showed some signs of withering, so he was about to speed up while he was deep in thought, but the next moment he spoke calmly.

"Senior, you have been following me for so long, there is no need."

After a while, Xu Qing continued to move forward.

In the past three days, he would do this every other hour.

Although he can sense the forbidden aura, Xu Qing understands that once a certain knowledge becomes a habit, it will lead to negligence, and in this troubled world, one negligence may lead to a tragic end.

Therefore, even if he did not feel the breath of the drug ban, he still spoke like this.

In this way, another day passed. Xu Qing paused in his steps and heard a calm voice.

"Senior, do you like hiding so much?"

This time, there was a response...

"Um?"

More than ten feet away on the right side of Xu Qing, there was a surprised sound, and the place quickly twisted, and Duanmu Zang's body was revealed.

There is an air bubble outside his body, which blocks some of the breath. There is also a cloth wrapped around his right hand. It is this thing that completely isolates the poisonous breath.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and he took a look, feeling vaguely familiar.

"How did this kid notice me?"

Duanmu Zang was suspicious in his heart. Thinking of Xu Qing's previous actions, he felt that there was a high probability that the other party was hiding some strange methods.

"Of course, it's also possible that this kid shouts like this every once in a while!"

"treacherous!"

Duanmu Zang snorted coldly in his heart. He noticed Xu Qing's eyes looking at the strip of cloth in his right hand. He didn't explain it, but glared at Xu Qing.

"Boy, you are so heartless!"

"Old man, I didn't mean to harm you. I gave you the box to hide in, but the antidote you gave me was fake!"

Xu Qing frowned.

"But for the sake of your previous rescue, I won't worry about it." Seeing Xu Qing frowning, the old man quickly softened his tone, then raised his hand and coughed.

"We are all human beings, why don't you... please help me."

Xu Qing's expression was as usual and he spoke calmly.

"Ten thousand spirit stones!"

The old man took a breath, stared at Xu Qing, shook his head with a wry smile after a while, and threw out a storage bag that Xu Qing had given him before.

After Xu Qing took it, he checked it and made sure it was fine.

Seeing that Xu Qing was still counting, the old man's temper was about to rise again, but he still endured it.

"That's it!"

Xu Qing nodded, raised his right hand and grabbed the old man. Suddenly the old man's body trembled, and the drug-forbidden power in his body surged instantly, and in the pain on his expression, it drilled out along his body.

Finally, it turned into a black mist, heading straight for Xu Qing, blending into Xu Qing's body, and dissipated.

With the disappearance of the drug ban, the old man clearly felt his body relax, his cultivation power surged, and his body began to recover normally and became normal.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief and look at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took a few steps back, extremely alert.

The old man's eyes widened.

"Boy, seeing how powerful you have been in the past, why didn't you take action in the first two times and asked me to show up to help you?"

"I didn't have time." Xu Qing said calmly, he was telling the truth.

The old man was silent when he heard this. He felt that this kid really couldn't speak, so he turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and glanced at Xu Qing.

"The sky fire is coming soon. Just find a place to take shelter."

The old man waved and threw an umbrella to Xu Qing.

"This umbrella can resist for some time, but not for too long. You can take care of yourself."

After saying that, his body swayed and he was about to merge into nothingness.

Xu Qing took the umbrella. After checking it, he felt the kindness of the other party, so he thought about it and shouted to the old man who was about to disappear.

"Wait a moment."

The old man paused and looked at Xu Qing in surprise.

Xu Qing raised his hand and pulled out the last ray of poisonous mist from the opponent's body...

This was left by Xu Qing to prevent the old man from making a sudden move before.

At this moment, as the poisonous mist appeared, the old man's expression changed again. He stared at Xu Qing, took a few deep breaths, and finally laughed angrily.

"Don't talk about martial ethics!"

Xu Qing's face was expressionless. His experiences from childhood to adulthood made him understand the necessity of caution, especially in this unfamiliar and large territory.

And from beginning to end, he had no harmful intentions.

The old man glanced at Xu Qing and finally nodded.

"That's all, your vigilance is considered normal."

After speaking, he thought for a while, took out a jade slip and threw it to Xu Qing.

"If you really can't find a place to escape the fire, come here."

The old man turned around and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Xu Qing took the jade slip, glanced at it and put it away. He knew what Sky Fire was. It was a unique climate in the Moon Festival Territory. At this time, the sky in the entire Moon Festival Territory would become brighter.

"It should be related to this sea of ​​​​fire."

Xu Qing didn't know the details before, but now he had some guesses. Thinking of the heat at sea these days, he thought thoughtfully and sped off.

A few days later, Xu Qing returned to the shore. It was not the place of retreat. He didn't want to go to the same place a second time.

Now on this shore, he looked towards the sky.

Compared with two months ago, the fire in the sky today is more intense, and the churning of magma in the Sea of ​​Fire is also more intense.

Standing here, the roar from the sky's sea of ​​fire is like rolling thunder.

And the number of monks is much less than before.

Even the ground was shaking, as if something huge was about to rise from the sky and the sea of ​​fire.

This reminded Xu Qing of the first time he saw the Mirror Shadow Clan's full-backs hiding underground.

"Is this a way to avoid the fire from heaven?"

Xu Qing was thoughtful and found a place far away from here. He dug a big hole in the ground, got in and cast a spell to cover it. After hiding in the ground, he sat down cross-legged and began to recover.

Although he had the body of a god, the sea of ​​​​fire was mysterious and unpredictable, and the high temperature under the magma gave Xu Qing an even more terrifying feeling. He sank at most about one foot.

Xu Qing didn't dare to go any further. This fire burned his soul, and even the absorption of the purple crystal couldn't protect himself.

Time passed like this day by day. Xu Qing was recovering his body deep underground while studying his sundial life lamp and occasionally chatting with Ling'er.

Not alone.

It was not until seven days later, when his body returned to its peak, that Xu Qing felt the changes in the outside world.

The temperature has been getting higher and higher during these seven days.

This was true even when he was underground, the surrounding soil began to turn red.

Until a roar came from the sky and spread like thunder. Xu Qing perceived through his spiritual consciousness and saw a scene that caused huge waves in his mind.

The sky's sea of ​​fire erupted like a tsunami.

The magma was violently rolling, setting off large waves. As it spread towards the shore, a pair of huge severed hands, one hundred thousand feet long, rose into the sky from the vast sea of ​​​​sky fire.

This pair of severed hands has huge sarcoma at the ends of the arms, spreading countless tentacles, and the palm prints are clearly visible on the palms like a sky.

They rose in the air, slowly making their final breaths.

The magma rose, and strange phenomena like dragons absorbing water appeared on the magma sea. Large tracts of magma were sucked into the sky, spread out, and quickly covered the sky in all directions.

The sky is bright.

Infinite fire fell from the sky, causing the earth to be burned.

This is the reason why this area is full of bare and irregular low hills, and it is also the main reason why there are no plants.

Its scope is so large that it covers the alliance of the two tribes, spreading from east to west until it covers the entire Moon Festival area.

"The sky is full of fire..."

Xu Qing looked at this scene and murmured.
