OUTSIDE OF TIME

Chapter 1310: Stepping Into Nihility!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Great Magistrate was becoming a god and the three gods were transcending, but the Divine Realm had five portions of authority.

At that moment, in the Divine Realm’s vortex, with the emperor’s corpse as the carrier, the opportunity from the Divine Realm’s advancement progressed.

“Little Qing, what do you think of such an opportunity!”

The captain’s tone was excited and the smugness in his heart was transmitted to Xu Qing’s mind.

“Let me tell you, everything in the world and the universe can be used by us. Even that son of a batch’s fragmented-face is the same!”

“Back then, when the Red Moon advanced, I was already envious. However, the conditions at that time didn’t allow me to make a move, especially since it happened so suddenly and I didn’t expect such a change to happen.”

“However, this time…”

The captain’s heartbeat sped up a lot and the fluctuations in his heart became even more intense.

“This time, it’s our turn to see the scenery.”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed.

“Junior Brother, let me now tell you a secret of Wanggu!”

“This is related to your path, my path, and Master’s path!”

The captain’s impassioned voice landed on Xu Qing’s mind. When he heard the word ’master’, Xu Qing’s heart trembled.

“By now, you should know the god’s realms. Before the divine fire, They are all divinity. After the flawlessness, it is the Divine Platform realm. What is beyond the Divine Platform?”

“I can now tell you that it is a realm on the same level as the Summer Immortal… True God.”

As soon as the captain spoke, Xu Qing felt as though there was a thunderclap in his mind. As for the captain’s voice, it continued. Every word was like heavenly lightning, echoing in his mind.

“After the True God is the Lord God, above which is the Venerable God, and beyond the Venerable God lies the Divine God!”

“This is a clear path. Regardless of whether it’s the Crimson Goddess back then or the three gods now, they are all advancing on this path.”

“Among them, Li Zihua advanced the fastest. From the peak of the Ruler realm back then, he integrated the karma of the Crimson Goddess. After his plan that spanned tens of thousands of years succeeded, he finally stepped into the peak of the Divine Platform Realm in one fell swoop!”

Some of these things were known to Xu Qing previously, and there were also some that he had guessed. However, this was the first time he had heard of them. He finally had a true understanding of the god’s system.

After the captain finished speaking, he controlled the emperor’s corpse to lift its head. Its gaze seemed to penetrate the vortex, the Divine Realm, and landed on the fragmented-face in the sky.

“Junior Brother, look at that fragmented-face. Do you know why the Sun God said the ancient isn’t empty, shining upon the desolateO?””

“Why did Its origin energy disperse through time and why did Its arrival cause

Mystic Nether, the last Summer Immortal of the Wanggu, to escape?”

“Because Its name is Desolate!”

“Because Its realm is a half-step Divine God!”

“To be precise, It has been sleeping since It failed to break through to the Divine God Realm!”

“As for cultivators, why are they inferior to gods…”

The captain paused.

Xu Qing fell silent. He already had an answer in his heart.

“Junior Brother, do you know what the first thing the fragmented-face did when It arrived back then?”

“It devoured the first Immemorial Heavenly Dao!”

The captain’s voice was low.

“That was the strongest Heavenly Dao of Wanggu. Its original body was the strongest one among the few Summer Immortals who came from the lower realm and killed the Wanggu’s Brilliant Heaven’s gods back then!”

“This immortal, after suppressing the indigenous gods of Wanggu, once wept while looking at the stars, saying that fate abandoned the immortals, so the divine path rose, and the immortals lost their status.”

ii

So, this immortal closed his eyes to leave behind his body, transforming his immortal soul into the first Heavenly Dao of Wanggu, intending to reverse the cycle.”

“That first Immemorial Heavenly Dao recorded the cultivation system and inheritance of immortals!”

“However, he was swallowed and fused with the fragmented-face.”

“This is the reason why the immortal path was severed after the Ruler!”

The captain’s tone couldn’t hide his dejection and there was an inexplicable meaning to it.

Xu Qing’s mind churned. He originally thought that the broken immortal path he understood in the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region was because of the disappearance of the Summer Immortal. Now, he knew that other than this reason, the most important thing was that the Heavenly Dao where the immortal’s Dao inheritance was located was actually devoured by the fragmented-face first!

“This is also the reason why there were no more Great Emperors in the future generations of Wanggu, and all the races are trying to continue the path.”

The captain continued to speak.

“Ever since then, the path beyond the Soul Accumulation has been cut off. When one’s cultivation reaches the nine worlds of the Soul Accumulation, there’s no path left.”

“Therefore, after Mystic Nether, no cultivator race could step onto the Quasi Immortal Great Emperor realm that is equivalent to the Divine Platform Realm, let alone the Summer Immortal.”

“In reality, even if the first Heavenly Dao wasn’t devoured, cultivators would at most be able to take a few more steps than now. In the end, there would still be nowhere to go.”

“Because the Summer Immortal was the pinnacle of cultivation in the past.”

The captain sighed softly.

Xu Qing remained silent.

“However, some people firmly believe that the Summer Immortal isn’t the end of the cultivation system.”

The captain’s voice rang out again.

“Do you know why it’s called the Summer Immortal?

“Summer and Lower®!”

“Immortals from the lower realm are also called Lower Immortals!”

“There should be Upper Immortals above Lower Immortals, but from ancient times to the present, no cultivator race has achieved the realm of Upper Immortals.

As time passed, no one believed it anymore, and the Lower Immortal was considered the end of cultivation.”

“Gradually, because the term ‘lower’ wasn’t auspicious, it was changed to Summer.”

“However, 1 still believe that there is Upper Immortal Realm, Venerable Immortal after the Upper Immortal, and once you reach the end of the Venerable Immortal… there must be another path!”

“I am going in this path from one direction and Master takes another. There are also people who take other paths in many races in the Wanggu Continent.”

“They’re all exploring and trying to walk out!”

“Today, you will also join us!”

“This is also the reason why I asked you to delay your breakthrough earlier. Nihility is a critical point!”

“In reality, before we set off for Flame Moon, Master had come to the Grand Imperial Capital Region and met me.”

“Master came?” Xu Qing was stunned but he quickly understood. He had long understood that the captain and Master each had extremely mysterious backgrounds.

Or to be precise, they were moving along their respective paths, each belonging to their own.

Eldest Senior Brother’s path must have something to do with his previous lives.

As for his master, Xu Qing didn’t know, but he guessed it was related to recovery.

Regarding Xu Qing’s question, the captain replied softly.

“Yes. He was the one who asked me to tell you to delay your breakthrough at the critical moment. The reason why he didn’t tell you in advance was because he was afraid that it would affect your path.”

His and Xu Qing’s minds were fused, and his words carried profound meaning.

“Now, Junior Brother, do you wish to embark on a path of your own exploration? The choice is yours. If you do not wish to, you can sever your connection to the authority of the Divine Realm and continue breaking through as before.”

“If you wish to explore, then the power of the Divine Realm’s advancement this time is like the wind that will aid you in your journey. However, this path is undoubtedly perilous. Whether the future holds life or death, how far you can go, it’s all unknown. You… must weigh it carefully.”

Xu Qing didn’t speak, and the captain also didn’t speak anymore. He was using this opportunity to walk his own path and search for the Dao that belonged to him.

“The path that belongs to me…”

Xu Qing mumbled and closed his eyes to focus. He didn’t need to think.

This was because he had already known and clarified his path several years ago!

That was in the Grand Imperial Capital Region’s Imperial Academy. After cultivating the Variant Immortal School, he had already decided on his path.

This path… would use the god as the fuel, retain the divine authority, and turn them into divine sources.

He would use the divine source as fuel as well, burn it and turn it into his variant immortal soul threads.

He would then use the soul threads to manifest all things and all divine bodies. The limit of the imagination was the limit of this path.

He could gather all the divine authorities and become a god of the gods.

Finally, he would use his own will as the primary and achieve a path of immortality cultivation through gods!

This was a Variant Immortal.

“In that case, my Nihility will really become… the Nihility of gods!”

Xu Qing’s eyes widened.

The five repository gates in his body immediately resumed their previous dormant state, rumbling once again like colossal volcanoes shaking the heavens and earth, erupting simultaneously.

The sound of the world being split apart roared in Xu Qing’s mind. The volcanoes erupted and a large amount of volcanic ash swept through his sea of consciousness.

This volcanic ash looked the same as when ordinary cultivators advanced to Nihility, but there was a difference in its material.

Xu Qing had divine repositories and divine sources. His Nihility was different from the others.

The nihility ashes of the volcano in his body contained gods’ aura.

And at this moment… for the path he wanted to take, the auras of these gods were clearly not enough.

Hence, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all. At the next instant, wails rang out from D132. The god’s finger directly collapsed and was broken down into nutrients by Xu Qing, merging into the five volcanic repository gates.

After burning, the volcanic ashes that spewed out made the gods’ aura even denser.

Immediately after, with the authority of the Divine Realm, the terrifying power formed by the advancement of the Divine Realm also surged into the emperor’s corpse and split into two, landing on Xu Qing and Erniu.

The portion that landed on Xu Qing directly gushed into the nihility ashes.

This was the power of the Divine World, and the Divine World corresponded to the Divine Platform. It could be said that… this was the power of the Divine Platform!

Turning this power into nihility ashes, he would be able to form a nihility land which could bury and refine gods!

Boom boom boom!

The sounds in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness rumbled loudly. In the end, it became earth-shattering. At the next instant, his entire sea of consciousness was filled with ashes.

It could be seen that there was no more sea in his sea of consciousness.

It was formed from the precipitation of the ashes!

It was boundless and astonishingly vast.

If other cultivators from the Nihility could see the nihility land in Xu Qing’s body, they would definitely be shocked. This was because the range of Xu Qing’s nihility land was dozens of times larger than an ordinary Nihility’s.

Moreover, the material was even more astonishing.

The moment the nihility ashes turned into soil and transformed into the foundation, Xu Qing’s Heavenly Palaces and the five repository gates above the Heavenly Palaces landed on the nihility land.

The instant they fused with the nihility land and became one, Xu Qing’s cultivation suddenly broke through.

Stepping into Nihility!!

To be precise, this was a Nihility that was different from all the Nihility. This was Xu Qing’s unique path and his Dao. It could be called the Divine Nihility!

Terrifying fluctuations continued to rise from Xu Qing’s body. This advancement was a breakthrough in a major realm. It could be said that the increase in Xu Qing’s combat strength was unprecedented.

However, the realm of the Nihility was still incomplete at this moment. With the nihility land, the next step was the Dao marks.

Because Xu Qing’s Dao marks were astonishing, they were naturally different from ordinary cultivators. If one traced back, this difference was fundamentally different!

Regardless of whether it was him, the captain, the Great Magistrate who was about to become a god, or the three gods who wanted to cross the tribulation fire to achieve flawlessness… what they wanted now was extremely great.

Therefore, there would definitely be some existences who wouldn’t allow it to happen!

Outside the vortex, resistance descended!
