OUTSIDE OF TIME

1062 Ranked Seventh

The Moon Rebel Hall rumbled like never before!

The gate of the highest temple emitted a dazzling and glaring red light. This light enveloped the entire body of the Moon Rebel Hall, giving the impression from afar that it had covered this world in a layer of bloody clothing.

As for the red light on the gate, it was clearly only one color. However, if someone was here and saw it, they would definitely have the illusion that there were two different colors.

That was because… these were two wills fighting for the same authority!

Red Moon’s authority.

As one of the 37 ancient moons of the Wanggu Continent, the Red Moon Itself possessed a lot of mysteries. Since ancient times, countless legends had circulated about It. When the fragmented-face arrived, 25 of the 37 ancient moons fell one after another. Now, there were only twelve moons left.

And the Red Moon was one of the twelve moons!

It was ranked seventh!

In ancient times, It had many names: Firefly Moon, Blood Moon… Now, it was known as the Red Moon.

The Crimson Goddess parasitized the Red Moon and was devouring Its authority at all times. She wanted to replace It. Once She succeeded, it would no longer be Red Moon Crimson Goddess, but Crimson Goddess Red Moon.

Crimson Goddess in front and Red Moon would be behind.

The red light on the gate shone monstrously. Xu Qing’s will inside had already been replaced by divinity. At this moment, his human nature had already dimmed. Only his bestial nature, enhanced by the divinity, was left, devouring the Crimson Goddess’ phantom in a transcendent state.

The captain was different from Xu Qing. He was in an extremely bizarre state. As the blue light shone, he didn’t seem to have divinity or humanity. Even his bestial nature was chaotic.

The three forms of god, human, and beast were mixed together in his will. It was difficult to distinguish them, forming a special state.

Under their devouring, the Crimson Goddess’ phantom image turned crimson, its radiance violently fluctuating. The hands covering its eyes seemed about to release, and its form began to overlap..

With each additional layer of overlap, the blood glow surged higher, increasing the pressure on Xu Qing and the captain.

However, at the end of the day, the Crimson Goddess was in a deep slumber and the phantom left here was only a wisp of divine sense. In theory, it was similar to Her mark on the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar back then.

However, the mark back then came from Her apostle, while this was from Her own body, so it was even more powerful.

If pure cultivators encountered it, it would be very difficult for them to resist. They would need numbers as well as extremely high cultivation levels to suppress it.

However, Xu Qing and the captain’s attainments weren’t that of pure cultivators. From the moment he touched divinity, Xu Qing was already a divine cultivator!

As for the captain, inherently bizarre, so he naturally wasn’t a pure cultivator.

Hence, in an instant, their wills bombarded the Crimson Goddess’ phantom. The sea of blood that Xu Qing had transformed into carried greed and hunger as it rapidly devoured and assimilated the Red Moon’s authority.

Under the blue light, the captain formed a blue worm that lay between the brows of the Crimson Goddess’ phantom. It opened its mouth and bit fiercely.

However, the Crimson Goddess was ultimately a god. The overlapping intent on her body rapidly increased and in the blink of an eye, hundreds or thousands of layers overlapped, causing the phantom to rapidly materialize.

At the same time, this overlapping also brought about the eruption of the divine technique. Xu Qing’s sea of blood collapsed and rolled back. The worm that the captain had transformed into also shattered into pieces. However, in the blink of an eye, the collapsed sea of blood reformed, transforming into Xu Qing’s expressionless face that continued its devouring spree.

With every mouthful he devoured, his authority over the Red Moon grew stronger.

Their origins caused Xu Qing to disregard and disintegrate the Crimson Goddess’ phantom. However, this devouring was mutual and he would also be assimilated by the Crimson Goddess.

If it was only Xu Qing here, he probably wouldn’t be able to turn the situation around.

However, Erniu was here!

Every piece of flesh of the shattered worm quickly transformed into a new worm. Hundreds of them let out sharp cries and rushed over crazily again.

Erniu’s bites caused the blue light to fuse into the Crimson Goddess’ phantom and interfered with the Crimson Goddess’ reverse assimilation of Xu Qing. This allowed Xu Qing to devour it more smoothly. His devouring also scattered the power of the Crimson Goddess’ phantom, allowing the captain to have a much smoother time in devouring.

It would be difficult for this to be so successful if either one of them was missing.

Just like that, the overlapping phantoms on the Crimson Goddess’ body continued to dissipate and her state gradually became blurry. She was about to be erased by Xu Qing and Erniu.

At that moment, intense fluctuations erupted from the Crimson Goddess’ phantom. For the first time, the hands that were covering her eyes… lowered.

The moment she put them down, time seemed to have stopped and space seemed to have changed. The stars shifted and the divine might spread in all directions.

A peerlessly beautiful face was reflected in Xu Qing and Erniu’s perception. However, this face had no eyes, only two bloody holes.

She looked at Xu Qing.

The sea of blood that Xu Qing had transformed into instantly exploded and a huge suction force spread out from the two bloody holes. Xu Qing’s destroyed sea of blood was uncontrollably sucked over.

In an instant, it was sucked into the hole and disappeared, as though it was devoured.

As for the worms that the captain had transformed into, they were sent back forcefully. However, the Crimson Goddess’ phantom lifted its right hand and grabbed. A worm was directly grabbed by it and squeezed ruthlessly.

With a boom, this worm collapsed. Under the power of karma, it also affected the other worms. In an instant, all the worms shattered.

Everything seemed to be over.

After dealing with Xu Qing and Erniu, the Crimson Goddess phantom slowly covered its eyes with both hands again. However, at the next instant, a sudden change occurred.

A large amount of blood suddenly erupted from Her body and Her face also rapidly changed, revealing Xu Qing’s appearance. Xu Qing’s authority naturally couldn’t resist the Crimson Goddess’s main body or clone. However, if it was just a divine sense, he had space to struggle.

It was the same for the captain. Although all the worms had shattered, the flesh didn’t dissipate. Now, they gathered together, forming a hand.

This hand appeared withered, emanating an aura of decay. It was entwined with sealing strips, as if reaching out from the depths of the Nine Hells. Upon closer inspection, numerous souls formed ghostly hands, entwining around this hand. They seemed reluctant to let it appear, trying to pull it back.

However, this withered hand ignored everything and pointed at the center of the Crimson Goddess’ brows.

Its pitch-black fingernail directly touched the Crimson Goddess’ glabella.

With a boom, the Crimson Goddess’ entire body trembled and began to decay. She wanted to neutralize it but at that moment, Xu Qing, who was in her body, erupted once again, possessing and devouring her from the inside.

The phantom of the Crimson Goddess swayed intensely. Under the suppression from the inside and outside, She seemed to have reached the limit of what She could withstand. After a few breaths, She turned blurry and finally collapsed.

The Crimson Goddess phantom shattered into pieces and transformed into golden blood that began to dissipate.

The sea of blood that Xu Qing had transformed into rapidly separated from within, converging and forming his face. The fluctuations of the Red Moon’s authority carried intense instability, clearly his authority had surged too much and it exceeded his ability to control.

The withered hand on Erniu’s side also dissipated at this moment, leaving only a wisp of blue light gathering and turning into a worm which revealed his face. The madness on the face was intense.

As for the blood flow formed after the Crimson Goddess collapsed, it rapidly gathered into a blood-colored eye. It suddenly opened and its divine sense echoed.

“Red curse, curse paper, soul extension, life fusion.”

The moment these four phrases were spoken, the blood eye closed and dissipated.

At this moment, the Crimson Goddess’ totem was finally gone from the gate of the highest hall.

Xu Qing and Erniu succeeded.

However… a cold wind appeared out of thin air, bringing with it some unavoidable power of karma. It directly descended and landed in the perception of Xu Qing and the captain.

Xu Qing’s will trembled and the sea of blood collapsed. His will was directly blasted out of the gate by this bizarre power. After his will returned to his body, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His body instantly turned crimson-red and turned into paper. It was the same for his flesh and blood. His body… became a paper effigy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even his soul couldn’t avoid it and his fate was changed as well.

The captain’s worm body also continuously collapsed under this bizarre force. Finally, it transformed into a small totem and rapidly turned into paper. The face of the totem revealed a solemn expression.

“Junior Brother, this is the curse of god’s loathing, the curse of the gods!”

“Hold on for a while. I’ll think of a way to neutralize it and help you. This thing is extremely difficult to deal with and is extremely vicious!”

As the captain spoke, the totem shone with blue light, forming a vortex that resisted with all its might. The sounds of wild shrieks and howls rang out from the vortex, as though countless existences were roaring inside.

Every roar shook one’s mind and contained terrifying power.

A cold glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. This curse was indeed ferocious. In just a few breaths of time, half of his body had turned into paper. That blood-red paper was extremely bizarre and actually ignored Xu Qing’s authority over the Red Moon.

In fact, even when Xu Qing activated the Poison Restriction, it was useless.

It was as though this curse didn’t rely on level but some kind of cause and effect law. Anyone who came into contact with it would definitely die.

However, there were also some benefits for Xu Qing. The fluctuations of his divinity were suppressed by this curse and his humanity began to return. Balance descended once again.

However, the return of human nature couldn’t resolve the spread of the curse.

Xu Qing could clearly sense that his body was changing and his soul was dimming. Endless coldness enveloped his entire body and a feeling of death spread uncontrollably in his perception.

Xu Qing knew that if this continued, he would probably completely turn into paper and become a red paper effigy in less than a hundred breaths of time.

“This curse… might not be unbreakable.”

At this critical moment, Xu Qing closed his eyes and D132 rose in his body. The concept of forgetfulness he had comprehended spread out at this moment, enveloping his body and the supreme hall, including the captain’s totem on the gate.

“Eh?” The captain, who was doing his best to neutralize the curse, was stunned for a moment. After that, a blank expression appeared on his face.

Forgetting could cut off all karma.

The curse itself was also a part of karma.

Therefore, as long as he erased this cursed memory from his body and soul forever, he would cut off all karma.

This was a confrontation between the domain and the divine technique!

And domain was believed towards be a way to contend with the gods during the era of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.

Time passed.

After about thirty minutes, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged beside its gate, opened its eyes, revealing a dazed expression.

“What happened just now?”

On its gate, Erniu’s totem revealed its face. It was too upon a loss since it looked at Xu Qing.

“Yeah, what happened just now? Strange, I seem towards have forgotten something. No, I have to think about it carefully…”
