Outside Of Time
chapter-394

The bowl shattered.

The lotus seeds blotted the white jade and shook the mind of Purple Mystic Fairy whose breathing had quickened in disbelief.

"What I saw just now was light?"

Just as Purple Mystic Fairy was about to confirm, the light disappeared!

The light from Mount Mystic Dao was very different from the battle at the Dao Temple.

Back then, the light had continued to spread and had an astonishing burning power, causing Xu Qing's entire body to feel as though it was about to melt under the light.

If it wasn't for the recovery effect of the purple crystal and the Golden Crow's physique enhancement, the burning from the light back then would have melted him.

After all, this was a magic treasure fragment. While it reflected the target's inner heart, it also contained lethal power. However, because of its strange properties, the lethality differed.

However, this time, it wasn't the case.

After the second refinement by Saintly Star, the light changed from continuous to instantaneous. Its might was also different.

The light instantly spread out from the door and disappeared.

It appeared and disappeared so quickly that it gave people an illusion. Moreover, the black fog released by Saintly Star further covered the appearance of this light.

Unless one paid a lot of attention and their cultivation had reached a certain level, it was impossible to see the details.

As for its ability, it was no longer burning. Instead, it had reversed to… freezing!

That flash of light was extremely cold. When it landed on Xu Qing's body, it directly transformed into the power of ice, rapidly freezing him.

Xu Qing could sense that the light was like an indescribably cold divine power. The instant it landed on his body, his entire person was frozen.

His body and soul quickly froze. It was as though his life itself had stopped at this moment.

However, what was frozen was only Xu Qing with the power of three balls of life fire.

Xu Qing was about to ignite the fourth fire. He was confident that if he ignited the fourth life fire, with the combat strength of peak seven fires, he could break through this frozen state.

However, before he could ignite the fourth life fire, he discovered the strangeness of his shadow.

This ice seal had very little effect on the shadow.

This was understandable. After all, the shadow itself had an extremely cold nature and even ate bizarre entities.

What was a freezing chill to Xu Qing might only be a normal body temperature to the shadow. At most, it would feel cool.

Hence, the moment the freezing ice appeared, the shadow couldn't help but excitedly take a small breath. This allowed Xu Qing's body to not be completely frozen.

Although it still looked like he was sealed, in reality, he only needed to send his thought to the shadow to make it absorb the ice fully, and recover his mobility instantly.

However, Xu Qing didn't give the shadow the order immediately. He remained still.

This was because he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for a long time had arrived.

"Serves you right!" Saintly Star laughed loudly as he headed straight for Xu Qing. His expression revealed malevolence along with a hint of ecstasy from intense excitement.

This was his plan. In reality, all his previous attacks were in search of an opportunity to activate the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door without arousing suspicion.

Like Xu Qing, he too was guarding against outsiders stopping him from using the killing move. After all, it wasn't just Soaring Cloud Ancestor who had the ability to stop the battle, Xue Lianzi had this capacity as well.

Saintly Star didn't think that the Seven Blood Eyes would follow the rules, just like Xu Qing didn't believe that the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect would follow the rules.

This was indeed the case. Almost at the instant Saintly Star rushed toward Xu Qing, the eyes of the face formed by Xue Lianzi in the sky outside Mount Mystic Dao flashed imperceptibly. After that, it transformed into countless blood threads that headed straight for Mount Mystic Dao.

This attitude was completely like he didn't care about the rules. All the rules weren't as important as his grand-disciple.

The moment the blood threads shot out, sword light surged into the sky and countless flying swords appeared out of thin air to block them, transforming into the figure of Soaring Cloud Ancestor.

"Xue Lianzi, rules are rules!"

Soaring Cloud Ancestor originally had doubts about whether Xu Qing was really sealed in ice. However, he didn't have the time to observe carefully because Xue Lianzi had moved.

Therefore, he was forced to stop Xue Lianzi without having the time to think too much.

Xue Lianzi put on an angry expression and wanted to rush out. Soaring Cloud Ancestor immediately used all his strength to block him.

A rumbling sound rang out. The two of them had similar cultivation levels. Although the Soaring Cloud Ancestor was slightly weaker, he could still stall for some time.

The captain's eyes also turned bloodshot. He roared and was about to rush over. However, a sword light flashed and the Golden Core cultivator of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect immediately stopped him.

At the same time, Old Master Seventh walked out from the direction of the Seven Blood Eyes. His speed was extremely fast and he was about to reach Mount Mystic Dao. However, the sect master of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect appeared and stopped Old Master Seventh.

While the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect held others back, Saintly Star approached Xu Qing. Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Qing was currently sealed in ice, his eyes revealed greed. Miemeng instantly appeared behind him and laughed sinisterly and let out a strange cry. They both immediately got close to Xu Qing.

They were so close that they were almost touching. Saintly Star even grabbed Xu Qing's shoulders. Miemeng let out a cry and bit the Golden Crow that was frozen behind Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, no one can save you today!"
