OUTSIDE OF TIME

Chapter 1294: Divine Repository Burning Lantern

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The life-bound mosasaur was Xu Qing’s first divine repository’s Heavenly Dao. It had been formed for a long time. This caused the first divine repository to be filled with spirituality. At the same time, the power of laws and rules in it was also the most abundant.

However, the second divine repository formed from the Poison Restriction, the third divine repository formed from the power of the Purple Moon, and the Emperor Sword Repository were only repositories without spirits.

Spirit was the Heavenly Dao, and a repository without the Heavenly Dao was not complete. The five repositories wouldn’t be able to erupt with all the energy, nor could they form rules and laws, failing to become Nihility.

Hence, obtaining Heavenly Dao was Xu Qing’s goal in coming to the Divine Realm other than needing the identity of the Grand Mystic Heaven!

On his way, although he encountered many creatures in the Divine Realm and most of them could transform into the Heavenly Dao, he gave up on them for various reasons.

Until this moment!

The aura emitted by those statues with three heads and six arms and moon marks actually incited a reaction from his third divine repository. This was the first time this had happened!

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

At the same time, the captain’s voice rang out from ahead.

“Junior Brother, come over quickly. We’re running out of time.”

The captain shouted loudly. His voice didn’t spread too far in the wind. When Xu Qing heard it, his voice had already been torn apart by the wind and was fragmented.

Xu Qing nodded and retracted his gaze from the statue. He looked at the storm that swept in all directions in the distance and felt the sandstorm in the surroundings blowing on his body. It felt like countless sharp blades were stabbing at him.

All of this made him lower his head slightly. With a sway of his body, he headed straight for the captain.

Seeing that Xu Qing was catching up, the captain moved at full speed and finally arrived at the mountain of the imperial tomb.

When they arrived here, the storm behind them became even more intense. From afar, it looked like a black mass. Regardless of the sky or the ground, they were all hazy in the storm. It was as though endless evil with the power of extermination was invading.

The statues at the edge were already submerged in the black sandstorm. Even the mountain of the emperor’s tomb seemed to be covered by the sandstorm.

However, the captain was well-prepared and his target was extremely clear. The instant he got close to the mountain, he directly spat out a large amount of blood.

It was indeed a large amount!

This was because the amount of blood was comparable to the total blood of an adult human.

As he spat out the blood, he lifted his right hand and brandished the blood.

Using the blood as ink, he drew on the rocky wall of the mountain.

He drew a curve.

Without stopping, the captain spat out mouthfuls of blood until he had sprayed out seventeen mouthfuls. Under Xu Qing’s gaze, the captain used this blood to draw a complete circle on the wall!

Then, a sobbing cry, like that of a mourning, echoed from the captain’s mouth.

“Alas, sorrowful is my father, who fell ill and passed away.”

“Deeply aware of my father’s lifelong hardships, cherished us as precious in his life.”

“But fate has abandoned me, separated me from my kin, my soul wanders in the underworld, cries unheard, longings unmet, his presence distant, his voice silent, tears my heart apart, how can I express my feelings?”

Every word of the captain’s voice was sorrowful and mournful. The wind tore his voice, but could not diminish its meaning. It permeated the surroundings, moving Xu Qing as well.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he saw the captain who was filled with sorrow turning his head and winking at him with a hint of smugness in his eyes, Xu Qing even had the feeling that the person buried in the imperial tomb was really the captain’s father…

At the next instant, after the captain shouted, he raised his right hand and plunged it into his own body. He took out his liver and pressed it into the blood-red circle on the rock wall.

His voice instantly became even more mournful.

“Here lies my offering, to express filial piety, may my departed father’s spirit taste and partake. Alas, mournful indeed! Let him be honored!”

The entire rock wall shook. After that, the captain took out his kidneys, spleen, and lungs and placed them into the blood-red circle on the rock wall one by one. Finally, he even took out his heart and pressed it atop the others.

It was as though these were his sacrifices!

He was waiting for his father to come and eat!

The world rumbled and emperor mountain trembled. At this moment, the storm became even more terrifying. As it moved closer, the captain performed a series of hand seals with both hands. His eyes revealed madness and his head leaned back. After that, he suddenly moved forward and ruthlessly slammed into the rock wall in front of him as he shouted.

“I beg you to partake of this sacrifice!”

He had used all his strength.

With a cracking sound, a crack appeared on the captain’s skull.

Xu Qing’s expression changed again.

All of the captain’s actions caused the mountain of the emperor’s tomb to quake violently. In the circle on the rock wall, a crack actually appeared where he collided.

The captain’s expression became even crazier. With a sobbing sound, he raised his head again and slammed the rock wall fiercely.

“I beg you to partake of this sacrifice!”

The earth trembled and the mountain swayed.

The crack on his forehead grew larger and larger, and there were more and more cracks on the rocky wall.

Finally, after the captain slammed nine times in a row, the blood-red circle on the rock wall collapsed loudly, revealing a passage!

Inside the passage, a light barrier shone, isolating it from the outside world.

“Haha, it’s finally opened!”

The captain’s face was covered in blood and his expression was crazed. He rushed into the barrier and didn’t forget to wave at Xu Qing with a loud laugh.

“Little Qing, this is the back door of the emperor’s tomb that I left behind in my previous life. You can activate it with some phrases, and with this light barrier blocking the gap, dangers from outside cannot enter.”

“Haha, the treasures here are waiting for us. Let’s charge!”

As the captain spoke, he rushed forward. However, after taking a few steps, he sensed that Xu Qing wasn’t following. Hence, he turned his head and was stunned.

“Junior Brother, what are you doing?”

Outside the light barrier, Xu Qing originally planned to follow the captain inside. However, after hearing the other party say that the dangers outside couldn’t enter, Xu Qing’s heart stirred and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. His purple god form instantly activated.

Millions of soul threads spread out and quickly gathered to form Lord Purple’s body. With the enhancement of the heads of the Jiuli, his combat strength directly reached the peak. He pushed a statue closest to him.

The divine source spread out and formed an illusory large hand that headed straight for the statue.

He wanted to kill a statue here and suppress its soul, turning it into his Heavenly Dao!

The ’not’ and ’word’ concealment also dissipated at this moment.

That statue suddenly shook and its closed eyes opened, revealing a dark glint. Its petrified body instantly recovered into a body of flesh and blood. Facing the large hand that grabbed over, the statue said a word.

“Capture!”

As the word left its mouth, the world churned. White bone chains descended from the void and directly locked onto Xu Qing’s illusory hand, making it difficult for it to move forward at all.

Devour!

There was also a backlash. As the statue spoke, the backlash suddenly affected Xu Qing’s body.

Xu Qing let out a muffled snort and took a step back. Immediately after, the statue’s aura became violent, emitting terrifying fluctuations. The three heads glared angrily and its six arms performed a series of hand seals, heading straight for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s heart was calm. He suppressed the backlash in his body and stared at the statue that was rushing over like a sharp blade. As he retreated, he lifted his right hand and grabbed at the void beside him.

Immediately, the void tore apart and flames erupted from within. A black spear flew over. After Xu Qing grabbed it, a malevolent and savage beast with the body of a dhole and the head of a dragon rushed out of Xu Qing’s body and fused into the black spear, augmenting it.

It was the bloodthirsty and battle-loving Yazi!

Xu Qing’s eyes were filled with coldness. He lifted his hand and ruthlessly threw it toward the statue in front of him!

The flames raged wildly in all directions, the Jiuli Yazi roared ferociously, and the black spear created a resounding sound, like the dawn tearing through the night, like the darkness shattering the sunset, crashing towards the statue.

A deafening sound surged into the sky. The statue suddenly paused and raised its four arms, grabbing the spear and preventing its tip from touching it.

Without any hesitation, when he threw the spear, Xu Qing’s left hand was already raised, four fingers pointing towards the sky like sharp blades, his arm straight as a blade. A vortex formed in the sky, and an ancient temple appeared between heaven and earth.

The gate of the temple silently opened, revealing the saber-wielding statue on the altar. This statue took a step forward and crossed the temple gate, drawing its saber and slashing.

The world became bright.

This temple was called Extreme Heaven and the statue had Xu Qing’s face.

As for this saber that fused with the Heavenly Dao, it was the Heavenly Saber!

As Xu Qing’s cultivation level advanced, this saber also became extraordinary. It no longer only was just a saber shadow, but appeared with the temple and the statue!

The revived statue’s body trembled and its remaining two arms quickly lifted, forming halberds. Its three heads opened their mouths and roared at the sky.

The color of the world changed. Under the heavenly saber, the halberds broke and the statue’s two arms collapsed as well as a head!

The heavenly saber also dissipated.

The statue was sent back a thousand feet before stopping. The remaining two heads and four eyes emitted black air. It actually rushed toward Xu Qing again with astonishing speed. It spread out its four arms and grabbed over.

Xu Qing frowned and retreated rapidly without any hesitation. The instant the statue rushed over, he retreated into the barrier of the cave in the rock wall.

The statue also got close at this moment. Amidst the rumbling, its four arms landed on the barrier.

The barrier trembled violently, blocking the statue.

The captain was right. This barrier could indeed block the dangers of the external world. As for the statue outside the barrier, it stared coldly at Xu Qing. After a while, it retreated and returned to its original position, its body turning into stone again.

However, the broken parts were difficult to recover.

Seeing this, before the captain could say anything, Xu Qing, who was in the barrier, suddenly took a step forward. He actually stepped out of the barrier and performed a series of hand seals, displaying a divine art that descended like a meteor.

The statue woke up and fought again.

In an instant, sounds echoed and violent fluctuations spread out. Xu Qing sometimes retreated and sometimes advanced.

The captain, who was in the barrier, was shocked when he saw this scene. He knew that Xu Qing was using the barrier as a shelter to grind the statue to death.

He instinctively wanted to remind Xu Qing that the statues here couldn’t die. This was because according to his previous research, if the statues were destroyed, there was a high chance that there would be other greater changes.

But then he thought again, if he were to speak out like this, wouldn’t it undermine his aura as the senior brother?

Aura was more important than life and death.

Hence, he hurriedly revealed a gratified expression.

“Junior Brother, let me help you.” As he spoke, he also rushed out and attacked together with Xu Qing to suppress the statue.

This cycle repeated and the statue’s collapse continued. A while later, the Heavenly Dao Saber appeared outside the barrier again. However, this time, it was different from before.

The Heavenly Dao transformed into a blade and the Divine Curse Poison Restriction transformed into its edge, with morning glow turning into blade light!

Ghost Emperor Mountain transformed into a slaying platform, and Di32’s fortune shaped the blade groove!

The Golden Crow was the connection, and the Purple Moon was the seal!

They were contained by time and commanded by the Sundial life lantern!

God Slaying Platform!

As the saber fell, the statue that was continuously damaged and only had an arm left trembled intensely outside the barrier. Its head was severed and its body shattered into pieces, collapsing on the spot.

The instant it shattered, strands of moonlight emitted from its shattered body.

Xu Qing’s breathing hastened slightly. The third divine repository in his body opened wide and transformed into a guiding force. In an instant, the moonlight headed straight for Xu Qing and fused into his divine repository.

In the pitch-black divine repository, it was as though a lantern had been lit!

Meanwhile, on the distant backside of this particular star, far from the location of the imperial tomb, a figure was initiating a strange and mysterious ritual.

This ritual drew power from the sun, the moon, and the star, forming a gigantic triangular totem on the ground.

Around the totem, strong winds howled, and at its center sat a cross-legged figure.

This person wore loose-fitting garments that appeared masculine, but the robes clung to their body in the wind, revealing a graceful and alluring form.

Their appearance was even more peerless. Their skin was soft and fairer than snow. Only their expression was cold and contained a murderous intent.

It was Flame Mystic.

The ritual shone at this moment, forming a beam of light. It didn’t soar into the sky but entered the ground and pierced through the entire star, connecting to the imperial tomb on the other side of the star.

In an instant, Flame Mystic’s figure disappeared..
