OUTSIDE OF TIME

Chapter 1099 Someone Used My Time

Back then, in the Immortal Forbidden Land, Old Master Seventh had brought the captain and Xu Qing to an Immortal Arts Hall. He took down two of the many human skin masks inside and gave them to Xu Qing and Erniu.

These two human skin masks were both immortal arts.

One was called the Heavenly Dog, and because it matched Erniu’s habits, it was given to him.

The other one wasn’t suitable for Xu Qing to use but Xu Qing thought that he could exploit it with the head, so he kept it.

This art was called compassion.

Its function was simple and singular: those who wore this human skin mask would bear the damage on behalf of the target they observed.

Xu Qing’s original thought was to let the head wear the mask and let it share the damage when he was facing a life-and-death crisis.

However, Xu Qing hadn’t encountered a time when he needed to use it.

Until now.

Although immortal arts were quite different from divine techniques, at the end of the day, they were mystical methods. Moreover, Old Master Seventh had once said that according to the records in the ancient books, the name of this kind of spell back then was taboo art.

Later on, in order to beautify them, they were called immortal arts.

Xu Qing knew the drawback of this compassion immortal art. It required the wearer to look at the target. Fortunately… this gaze could be a glance, and didn’t have to last long.

Hence, almost at the instant the human skin mask was put on Zhang Siyun’s face, Xu Qing gazed at the captain, trying to display the second scene in the purple crystal.

Although he didn’t have the strength to allow the god’s fragmented-face to completely open Its eyes, and his life force was also depleted by a huge extent, that was because the image of the god’s fragmented-face was of too high a level.

However, Crown Prince Purple Green was clearly inferior to the god’s fragmented-face in terms of level.

Hence, Xu Qing could attempt to display the second scene. The main point was the glance Xu Qing threw at Erniu.

They didn’t need to speak to express their intentions to each other, and could just convey it through a glance. Erniu didn’t hesitate at all. He opened his mouth and bit Xu Qing’s arm.

This bite wasn’t to devour but to nurture.

In that instant, the vitality from Erniu gushed into Xu Qing’s body. Although there was still a considerable gap if they wanted the god’s fragmented face to completely open Its eyes, it was just enough to assist Xu Qing in displaying the second scene.

Xu Qing’s body trembled and the purple crystal in his body shone. After it filled his body, it became a purple source of light, spreading endless purple light in all directions.

He could think of a way to hide the purple light but Xu Qing didn’t.

Not only did he not hide it, but he also released it to the greatest extent, causing the circulation of this light to be similar to the thorny crown on Zhang Siyun’s head.

And all of this, though it may sound lengthy, actually occurred in the blink of an eye. As Xu Qing’s entire body radiated purple light, Zhang Siyun, who had the human skin mask placed on his face by the Ancient Spirit Emperor, felt a shock to his mind.

As a clone of Crimson Goddess, He possessed omniscience and omnipotence. However… the status of the Ancient Spirit Emperor was the same as His. Under His interference, Zhang Siyun’s omniscience and omnipotence were slowed down.

This delay became extremely fatal at this moment.

This was because He didn’t know the effect of the human skin mask. Most importantly, the purple light on Xu Qing’s body attracted His attention and also caused the thorn crown on his head to spin.

His gaze instinctively landed on… Xu Qing, who was emitting a purple light.

The instant he looked at Xu Qing, Zhang Siyun’s entire body trembled. He saw a scene, and fused into this scene.

He wasn’t the only one who saw it. At that moment, the captain and the retreating Ancient Spirit Emperor also saw the scene that appeared in the Moon Palace.

The sky was replaced by the world of this scene. It became dark, blood rain fell again, and Xu Qing was standing in the ruins.

His figure overlapped with a little boy revealed in the scene.

That little boy was crying. He was at a loss, helpless, terrified, and all sorts of other emotions spread out from this little boy and Xu Qing.

In the sky where lightning flashed, there was no fragmented-face of the god, there was only a youth in a black robe.

This youth’s appearance was incomparably handsome and was similar to the adult Xu Qing. He stood there and stared at Xu Qing. With a soft sigh, he walked over step by step from the sky.

The blood rain separated in front of him. He walked like this until he was behind Xu Qing. He then gently lifted his head and touched Xu Qing’s head.

“Brother, don’t cry.”

The moment the gentle voice echoed, the little boy who had fused with Xu Qing was about to turn his head. However, at the next instant… a destructive force erupted above his head.

With a boom, the little boy’s head collapsed and his body collapsed. His body and spirit were destroyed.

Even Xu Qing’s body trembled and countless cracks appeared on his body. This was especially so for his head, which was about to shatter into pieces.

At that moment, Zhang Siyun, who was looking at the scene, let out a mournful wail. The thorny crown on His head also flickered with purple light.

He was resisting!

Due to the immortal art compassion, everything He saw surged into His body at this instant, which included pain, injuries, and death.

To harbor compassion.

Hence, the little boy’s collapse in the scene directly affected Zhang Siyun.

His sharp screams shook the Moon Palace. Zhang Siyun’s newly formed body was already in its weakest state after enduring the damage from the fragmented-face.

At that moment, after enduring such destruction, His body instantly collapsed again and shattered into pieces. It was the same for His head. His eyes revealed pain, confusion, and disappointment.

Those were the emotions of the little boy when he was alive.

At the next instant, Zhang Siyun’s head exploded. The thorny crown on his head also shattered again. Finally, only a small section of purple thorns fell to the ground.

Crimson Goddess’ avatar no longer existed.

Zhang Siyun was truly dead.

The scene dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, the body formed by the captain’s worm rushed over at its fastest speed. In an instant, it arrived at the place of Zhang Siyun’s death and grabbed the falling purple thorn.

Beside him, the figure of the Ancient Spirit Emperor appeared. He was also grabbing Seeing that it was about to be captured, the captain went crazy. He let out a loud roar and the phantom of a heavenly dog appeared behind him, ruthlessly devouring it.

at it at an even faster speed.

Seeing that it was about to be captured, the captain went crazy. He let out a loud roar and the phantom of a heavenly dog appeared behind him, ruthlessly devouring it.

At the same time, Xu Qing spat out a large mouthful of blood. A large amount of blood flowed through the cracks on his body, especially on his face. As he staggered back and saw this scene, the purple light on his body forcefully flickered.

“That is mine!”

Xu Qing’s words caused the Ancient Spirit Emperor to pause. If it was anyone else who spoke like this, He wouldn’t care. However, after seeing Xu Qing display that terrifying power twice with His own eyes, His fear of Xu Qing was extremely high.

He then thought of the subsequent feast and paused slightly.

At the next instant, the captain’s heavenly dog caught up and directly swallowed the purple thorn before moving back to Xu Qing’s side, staring at the Ancient Spirit Emperor unkindly.

The gaze of the Ancient Spirit Emperor flickered slightly as He swept His gaze across Erniu before looking at Xu Qing.

Just as He was about to speak, a shout filled with anger suddenly rang out from under the Moon Palace.

This sound was definitely not something a cultivator could make. Its reverberation caused the entire Red Moon’s red light to erupt. The ground rapidly melted, forming a sea of blood.

This sea was extremely viscous and smelled strongly of blood.

A god’s aura rose shockingly.

The Moon Worship Region also trembled at this moment.

That was… the voice of the Crimson Goddess’ main body.

She had completely awakened!

At the same time, far away from the Moon Worship Region, separated by many large regions, at the center of the entire Wanggu World, there was an extremely holy region for the human race.

Its name was the Grand Imperial Capital Region.

Its location was extremely far from the Moon Worship Region. It was difficult for cultivators to reach it even if they flew their entire lives. In the center of the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region, there was a majestic city the size of a county.

This city was vast and there were many buildings inside. Countless humans lived there, and the most eye-catching thing in the city was a luxurious and majestic palace.

Right now, in a large hall in the palace, two people were playing chess.

One of them was a middle-aged man, dressed in an orange-yellow robe. His long hair was tied up with a dragon-carved hairpin. Seated there, he seemed to exude an imposing presence, like a crouching tiger or a coiled dragon. An invisible imperial aura emanated from him, transforming into giant dragons that wove through the heavens, swallowing and spitting out the hues of dawn.

This person was the current Human Emperor!

His aura was majestic, his appearance carried dignity, and his eyes contained the stars. At this moment, he held a white chess piece in his hand and spoke lightly.

“State Preceptor, what do you think the outcome of the current war with the Black Heaven Race will be?”

With that, he was about to place the chess piece down when his eyes suddenly moved slightly as he looked at the person opposite him.

“State Preceptor?”

Seated across from the Emperor was a young man. He wore a purple robe, his handsome features almost otherworldly. His long hair sprawled across the floor, each seeming to carry the essence of the sun, moon, and stars.

If Xu Qing was here, he would be able to recognize at a peep that this person… was Crown Prince Purple Green!

At that moment, he held a black chess piece in his hand, but within his bright eyes, there was a hint of fleeting mist.

After hearing the Human Emperor’s voice, the mist in Purple Green eyes dissipated and he articulated softly.

“Nothing, Your Majesty. It’s just that someone used a bit of my time.”

The Human Emperor’s gaze existed deep. The white chess piece landed on the board and he was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He uplifted his head and gazed at the sky outside the hall.

Crown Prince Purple Green narrowed his eyes and also uplifted his head.

At the same time, the giant dragons in the sky let out a shocking roar. The sound waves spread in all directions as they stared fixedly at the sky.

They weren’t the only ones. Very soon, many terrifying auras erupted from the Imperial City and locked onto the sky in unison.

All eyes were on the same thing.

The god’s fragmented-face.

The god’s fragmented-face in the sky still had Its eyes closed. However, at this moment, Its head moved slightly.

It existed facing the south!

That existed the direction of the Holy Wave Large Region, the Moon Worship Region, and the Red Moon Star.

At that moment, many races were paying attention to this scene. The entire Wanggu Continent existed shaken.

Very few people knew why It did this. Because of Crimson Goddess’ authority, outsiders couldn’t investigate the matters in the Moon Worship Region.

However, no matter what, Its action caused the hearts of all the peak figures in Wanggu to palpitate.
