Outside of Time

At the same time, in the turbulent Forbidden Sea and in the sky, Xu Qing, who was returning to Fenghai County with his captain, suddenly stopped in his steps, his expression showed a trace of confusion, and he turned his head to look into the distance.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear some voices echoing in his mind, and in the blur, some pictures seemed to appear quickly in front of his eyes.

But the picture is not clear, it is like a blend of ink and wash, and it is chaotic.

Xu Qing's stop and the expression on his face surprised the captain on the side. He followed Xu Qing's gaze and looked at the world in the distance. There was nothing there.

So he asked curiously.

"Little Aqing, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"

Xu Qing did not speak, and his expression became more and more confused. It was not until the captain asked curiously again after a while that Xu Qing's expression recovered. He looked in the direction of the Black Spirit Territory and spoke hesitantly.

"It seems like someone is calling me."

"I summoned something that I thought didn't exist."

Xu Qing murmured.

At the same time, on the Black Sky Clan battlefield, purple stars fell from the sky, and the purple light emitted covered the sky, making the originally bright sky dim instantly.

The earth is also like this, and everything is like this. At this moment, all living beings are covered with purple light.

An even more terrifying aura emanated from the purple moon and stars.

Looking around, most of the sky is covered by this purple star. With its arrival, the monks on both sides can clearly see the pitted basin above it.

And on the purple moon and stars, there stood a huge stone tablet, shining brightly and shockingly.

The aura of the gods exploded into the sky, distorting the heaven and earth, blurring the world, turning into mist, rising in all directions, and there were countless purple nematodes in the mist.

Sometimes they are substantial, sometimes they are illusory, and wherever they pass, the color of the world changes.

On the battlefield, the subordinates of King Tianlan all had their hearts pounding, their breathing was rapid, and their bodies were shaking under the pressure.

As for the Black Sky Clan, the priests wearing purple robes had extremely pious expressions and their voices became more and more passionate.

The other Black Sky clan members were excited and knelt down to the purple moon in the sky.

Obviously, for them, the arrival of the purple moon means that their gods have not given up on them, and the gods... are still there!

And all of this, to King Tianlan in mid-air, was like a thunderbolt.

As Yun Shen, he naturally knows the terror of the gods, and he also understands that facing the gods with his own fighting power, there is no possibility of counterattack.

"How could this happen!!"

"Red Mother, are you awake? No, what they said in their prayers was not the Red Mother, but the Purple Lord!"

"I have never heard of this Purple Lord. Could it be that he was transformed by the Red Mother? Or is he an ancient unknown god?"

King Tianlan's heart was trembling. He could feel the incomparable reality of the purple moon and stars, the pressure and aura, and the purple mist of nematodes appearing all around. All of this was unprecedentedly real.

This is totally divine!

Then all the fluctuations and shocks turned into the roaring storm in his heart, like a raging wave in the sky.

He didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't care about the life or death of his subordinates. The only thought that came to his mind was to escape!

Before the Purple Lord appeared, he tried his best to escape.

Only in this way can he have a chance of survival.

King Tianlan gritted his teeth and roared.

"withdraw!"

After saying that, he turned around instantly, his speed reached the limit, and he ran straight into the distance.

As a powerful Yun Shen, and as one of the eighteen kings participating in the battle of the Black Sky Clan, he did not want to die.

He knew very well that the war between the human race and the Black Sky Clan was launched from more than ten directions, with each of the Heavenly Kings responsible for one direction.

Therefore, even if he fails here, the impact on the overall situation will not be fatal, but it will hinder the seventh prince's entry into Shenglan, and he will not fulfill his promise to the Human Emperor.

But compared with his own life and death, these... naturally are nothing.

In an instant, the figure of King Tianlan disappeared under the purple moon and stars, flickering in the distance. As for his departure, his subordinates on the earth were all bitter, with despair in their eyes, and they retreated one after another.

But they actually also understood that in front of the gods, the possibility of their retreat being successful was extremely slim.

The Black Sky clan did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. They quickly retreated after the chanting. With the help of Ziyue's pressure, the Black Sky clan legion got rid of the previous situation and was evacuating.

In this way, time slowly passed, and the Heitian clan was far away. The retreating subordinates of King Tianlan gradually showed doubts, because... they did not see the gods appear.

Even the purple moon in the sky began to fade at this moment, and the distortion and blur around it slowly dissipated. The heterogeneity seemed to be mainly illusion, and the real lethality was far less than that shown by the pressure and aura. look.

It's like...this is just a mirror image.

Until the next moment, the purple moon and stars in the sky completely disappeared, and everything between heaven and earth was restored.

On the earth, all of King Tianlan’s subordinates looked confused, but soon someone realized that they... had been fooled!

This is not a divine descent, this is more like an illusion.

This realization made everyone's hearts churn, and soon the rainbow roared in the sky, and King Tianlan left and returned.

His face was ugly, his expression was extremely gloomy, his eyes contained anger, and the evil spirit in his heart was extremely strong and was spreading rapidly.

He ran away instinctively before, but after escaping for a certain distance, he reacted and had a clue in his heart.

So he returned tentatively and saw Ziyue disappearing with his own eyes.

All this made him completely understand that he... had fallen into a trap!

At this moment, he was roaring with anger, his eyes were red, and he was staring into the distance.

That is the direction where the Black Sky Clan Legion and the seventeen priests fled.

If it weren't for his misjudgment, these Black Sky Clan legions would have been wiped out by him at this moment, especially the seventeen priests inside, who were his strategic targets.

He will also be beheaded.

The regional war that he is responsible for can also be ended.

He will successfully fulfill his promise to the Human Emperor, and will also allow the Seventh Prince to truly obtain the Shenglan Territory as a fiefdom.

And he will return in triumph.

But now, something unexpected happened.

Under the spotlight, he was scared away by the Black Sky Clan.

This is humiliation, the ultimate humiliation.

Thinking of this, his anger was overwhelming. On the one hand, this anger came from his previous fear, and on the other hand, it came from his face.

So King Tianlan immediately announced the decree to his army.

"Everyone listens to the order and hunts down the remnants of the Black Sky Clan. Everywhere they pass, all cultivators of the Black Sky Clan will be killed. No one will be spared!"

His voice echoed on the battlefield, but his subordinates no longer had the enthusiasm of the past. They saw the scene of King Tianlan escaping before, and their hearts were complicated.

The majesty from Yun Shen forced them to obey orders.

But one of the lieutenants in charge of the arrangement of immortal arts could not help but rise into the sky and come to King Tianlan, and spoke in a low voice.

"King of Heaven, the magic that cooperates with the war has not spread further. It will take some time. If we pursue it rashly..."

King Tianlan looked cold and turned to look at the lieutenant in front of him.

"Are you going to disobey me?"

"I don't dare because of my humble position." The deputy general bowed his head.

"Army, start immediately!" King Tianlan looked gloomy and his voice echoed like thunder from the sky. After the battlefield exploded, the army soon rushed out and pursued the Heitian clan in the direction they fled.

King Tianlan is in front, his momentum is like a rainbow.

But the pursuit was not smooth. The Heitian clan's evacuation method was mainly teleportation, so they needed to constantly lock on the teleportation traces.

In this way, under the pursuit of the army, three days later, King Tianlan's army penetrated deep into the Black Spirit Territory, where black mist filled the air and shrouded all directions.

According to the clues on the way, the Black Sky Legion entered this place for their final battle, and the seventeen priests were also there.

Looking there, King Tianlan was silent, but as he sensed the teleportation fluctuations within it, his eyes showed decisiveness and he immediately gave the order.

Soon his figure and the army under his command set off a storm on the ground and stepped into the mist.

The mist rolled in, drowning everything.

Seven days later, the mist in the Black Spirit Territory suddenly billowed and rumbled into the sky. A deafening sound accompanied by a huge mushroom cloud spread in all directions.

From the edge of the mist, a series of embarrassed figures rushed out quickly. The person at the head was none other than King Tianlan.

But at this moment, he no longer had the majesty he had when he stepped here before. There was unwillingness in his eyes, the armor on his body collapsed, his face was pale, his injuries were serious, and blood was flowing all over his body.

As for the subordinates who rushed out from behind him, they were all like this, with serious injuries and weak breaths.

And the number of people... is only one-tenth of what it used to be.

Ninety percent of the army did not return with them.

Looking at his subordinates all around, King Tianlan felt sad and angry in his heart. Thinking of what he encountered after entering the mist, his heart couldn't help but be angry, and blood spurted out in large mouths.

"The Black Sky Clan first used illusory deities to shock me, causing me to lose face and miss the opportunity. My anger surpassed my reason, so they chased me here without the magic spreading."

"The function of immortal magic is to prevent the self-destruction of large-scale destructive objects in the Black Sky Clan."

"And they placed a fragment of the domain treasure here and detonated it."

Thinking of this, King Tianlan felt remorseful, but at this moment he was too seriously injured, and he was even more worried that the Black Sky Clan had other arrangements, so he gritted his teeth and could only lead his people to leave as soon as possible.

Until he returned to the edge of the Shenglan Domain and joined the garrisoned army, his emotions of unwillingness, resentment, and regret were still extremely strong. More importantly, he didn't know how to explain this matter to the Human Emperor.

It was at this time that he saw several jade slips of information that the Seventh Prince had sent to the garrison.

The first one was to inform him that tens of thousands of military governors were missing in Fenghai County, and that Fenghai County refused to provide troops.

The second one informed Fenghai County of the existence of the Sun of Dawn, and that the Seventh Prince's own residence had been wiped out, resulting in heavy losses.

Looking at these two jade slips, King Tianlan had a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and he found a reason to explain his defeat to the Human Emperor.

That is, Fenghai County's reinforcements were unfavorable, resulting in insufficient magical power to spread to the depths of the large area within the specified time, thus leaving itself in a completely passive situation.

Hence the great defeat.
