Outside Of Time
chapter-618

Endless redness erupted from the gate.

"How can there be more!!"

Chu Tianqun was horrified. His other leg also exploded, and waves of emotions surged in his mind. Just as he was hesitating about whether he should continue forward, a crack above him instantly opened like a door.

The moment the sound of breathing rang out from the crack, Chu Tianqun's soul let out a rumbling sound. His eyes widened as he saw an unimaginably huge humanoid figure in the crack. The pressure emitted by its body caused him to scream again and he had no choice but to explode his last arm to block it.

"Heaven… Heavenly Dao!"

At that moment, only half of Chu Tianqun's soul body was left, and he didn't have any limbs. He looked at this passageway in horror. Right now, he had only walked less than 10% of the path.

There were still endless doors left.

He couldn't see the details clearly but he could vaguely see a huge chair in the depths.

"Why is there a chair?!"

Chu Tianqun trembled. He didn't dare to continue forward.

"There's something wrong with this Xu Qing. There's something wrong with him!!"

Just as Chu Tianqun's mind stirred, a door in front of him actually opened on its own. A large badly mangled hand stretched out, carrying with it blurriness and distortions.

Chu Tianqun let out a blood-curdling scream and continued to self-destruct his body parts to evade the hand. The situation was developing in a direction that was far beyond his expectations.

At this moment, banging sounds rang out from countless doors in the passageway in front of him. That was… the sound of the doors being bombarded from inside!

It was as though the terrifying existences behind those doors had smelled the sweetness and went crazy, wanting to break through the doors.

"Wha… what…"

Chu Tianqun's soul shook and he abruptly turned around to escape.

However, he was still a step too late. Countless doors… opened in unison.

A mournful cry rang out from Chu Tianqun's soul and he instantly self-destructed!

At the next instant, Chu Tianqun returned to reality. As he let out a despairing cry, half of his body directly collapsed. Even the divine light couldn't stop the collapse and only his head was left on the ground.

His expression was filled with horror, shock, and disbelief.

With his return, the world restored its operation.

Xu Qing's body shook in the air and also recovered. His expression instantly darkened. He didn't know what had happened. At that moment, as he looked at Chu Tianqun, who was only left with a head amidst his screams, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He controlled the Ghost Emperor Mountain to speed up the suppression toward Chu Tianqun. As the Ghost Emperor Mountain descended, Chu Tianqun laughed bitterly.

He knew that he had lost. He had lost the ability to resurrect, lost his life force, and lost everything. Due to the backlash from failing in the divine technique, the doors that had been sealed also recovered. He did no damage at all.

"Can't resist, can't defeat…" Chu Tianqun's vision was already blurry. Amidst this bitter laughter, he suddenly spoke loudly.

"Xu Qing, do you know that I'm actually… just a container? If It appears, you'll still die."

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. The Ghost Emperor Mountain rumbled and was about to press down. However, at that moment, the forehead of Chu Tianqun's withered head suddenly tore open and a translucent hand that didn't belong to him slowly stretched out.

This hand was snow-white with no hair at all. It was as though it was made of white jade and was filled with holiness and bizarreness. When these two contradictions fused together, it caused the whole world to shake.

The hand waved gently at Xu Qing three times, stirring up three wisps of wind.

"Divine technique, present life, long-cherished wish!"

A calm and unfamiliar voice with supreme might echoed from between Chu Tianqun's brows. After these three gentle waves, the hand turned into ashes and dissipated.

Chu Tianqun's head tilted to the side, on the verge of death.

The three wisps of wind erupted with an indescribable might!

The first wisp of wind silently touched Xu Qing's Ghost Emperor Mountain.

The Ghost Emperor Mountain rumbled. The consumption of transformation increased sharply at this instant. In just a breath of time, the power of the demon transformation runes dissipated completely and the Ghost Emperor disappeared, revealing Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged inside.

The second wisp of wind blew over.

Xu Qing's body trembled and the Poison Restriction and Purple Moon in his body instantly slowed down. As this wind permeated the air, his body lost all color and turned black and white.

It wasn't just him. The colors in the surroundings also faded at this instant, turning black and white.

It was as though they had become an ink painting.

Xu Qing's body also fused into the painting at this moment, becoming a person in the painting.

An intense life-and-death crisis erupted in Xu Qing's mind. That feeling of fear and trepidation allowed him to clearly sense the descent of death.

After his body became a person in the painting, it rapidly withered. In the blink of an eye, he was only skin and bones and his life force began to dim.

Right now, he could not transform into the Ghost Emperor Mountain. The Poison Restriction and Purple Moon were delayed, and his life lanterns and everything else also became a part of this painting. Only the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur in the sky was able to barely move. It transformed into a saber and slashed down.

However, it was still young and didn't have enough strength. It let out a blood-curdling scream and retreated.

The third wisp of wind directly landed on the painting figure that Xu Qing had become.

It was as though water had been poured on a painting, gradually turning into inky liquid and slowly blurring the painting.

Xu Qing's body stiffened and his mind became sluggish. As he lowered his head with difficulty, he saw his body melting.

The life substitution jade slip his master had given him back then shattered, but it still couldn't stop his body from turning into ink. The feeling of death enveloped Xu Qing's mind.

Xu Qing fell silent.

He had used up all his methods. This battle didn't look tragic but in reality, the might of divine techniques was fully displayed. Life and death were extremely fragile under divine abilities of this level.

In reality, being able to fight the other party until now and make him perish together already showed Xu Qing's foundation.

"Am I going to die?"

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly and his consciousness gradually blurred. However, just as more than half of the body in the painting became blurry and rapidly dissipated, a wisp of golden light suddenly emitted from his right wrist in the black-and-white painting.

This golden light continued to shine and grew increasingly intense.

Originally, it would just remain hidden. However, in this black-and-white painting, its color was clearly highlighted and it became a third color.

As it appeared, the entire painting shook. This golden light rapidly spread out from Xu Qing's right hand and covered his entire body in the blink of an eye, helping him withstand the third wisp of wind at the most critical moment.

As the golden light faded, the painting containing Xu Qing shattered, and his emaciated form tumbled to the ground. Upon hitting the ground, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The dim golden light also disappeared and returned to his right wrist.

The color was extremely dim, as though it could dissipate at any moment. In fact, there were countless cracks densely covering the golden thread.

Xu Qing's breathing was hurried. Even though his injuries were serious and he was extremely weak, he still lowered his head and looked at his right wrist. A huge wave of emotions surged in his heart and his expression was filled with confusion.

A long time later, his expression turned cold as he lifted his head and stared at Chu Tianqun.

Chu Tianqun was already at the end of his rope. At the moment of his death, he barely opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing.

"You still didn't die…"

Xu Qing walked toward Chu Tianqun step by step. When he reached the head, he could sense that the other party had already lost the ability to resurrect. A cold glint appeared in his tired eyes as he lifted his foot and stomped down!
