OUTSIDE OF TIME

1323 I’ll Continue Being Invincible (2)

‘I think it’s this art.’

‘This art is indeed close to a divine technique. It can bring one back from the past, and after they appear, their cultivation and combat strength seem to remain at the peak.’

Xu Qing muttered to himself. As he pondered over the method to kill, Flame Mystic, who had walked out of the circle, stared at Xu Qing and sighed inwardly.

Earlier, when she used this divine art, she could have succeeded even faster. However, she deliberately slowed down, wanting to wait for Xu Qing to attack.

Once Xu Qing attacked at that time, she could take the opportunity to pull him into her divine art and taint the other party with the power of this scripture.

It would cause all the horrors in the other party’s memories to turn into demons. From there, demonic flames would rise and burn his body and soul.

‘It’s a pity that the cultivation art I inherited only has the Undying Scroll and a small portion of the Ancient Scroll. I’m missing Longevity and the other half of the Ancient Scroll.’

‘And the Undying Scroll is also somewhat incomplete. Although I made up for it with other techniques, it still led to flaws in the activation of the Ancient Scroll.’

‘However, as long as Xu Qing can’t break through my Past Reincarnation Sutra, it’s not impossible for me to win this battle!’

At the thought of this, the battle intent in Flame Mystic’s eyes rose again. He took a step forward and waved his right hand. Immediately, the life pearl in his hand shone and dozens of rings that were exactly the same as before appeared around him.

After that, numerous figures rushed out of those rings.

They were all Flame Mystic.

Although there was a difference between their cultivation and the main body, they could transfer between each other at will, which was extraordinarily profound under tacit cooperation.

After she appeared, as Flame Mystic’s battle intent erupted, the auras of her past bodies also rose and attacked Xu Qing from all directions.

Compared to before, not only did her aura not decrease, but it was even stronger.

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He raised his right hand and swung it forward. Immediately, the golden thread formed by the Divine Authority of Misfortune behind him disappeared and appeared in Flame Mystic’s fate in a mysterious way.

The power of misfortune instantly landed in her fate.

In an instant, it spread out.

The expressions of Flame Mystic’s past bodies all changed. When some of them rushed over, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of them and devoured them.

Some had their bodies engulfed in brilliant light, causing their cultivation to inexplicably become disordered.

Some experienced even more exaggerated accidents. They circulated their divine powers and suffered a backlash.

There were also a few who actually showed signs of chaotic divine sense and their connection with Flame Mystic’s main body was intermittent.

There were even a few whose eyes turned bloodshot and started attacking each other.

This extremely bizarre scene caused waves to surge in the hearts of all the cultivators who saw it. Some of the nobles muttered.

“Power of misfortune.”

Flame Mystic’s expression also changed. However, she knew that now wasn’t the time to think. Hence, she maintained her peak battle intent and headed straight for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s gaze was cold. Although he had seen most of Flame Mystic’s divine arts in this battle, this wasn’t what he wanted. His unchanging thought from the start was to end the battle quickly.

Since the other party’s soul was a weakness, he naturally had to target it again.

Hence, after the misfortune, the Poison Restriction Divine Authority beside Xu Qing suddenly rose, instantly forming a monstrous black fog. As the fog churned, a world-shaking roar rang out.

The giant shadow of Ming Fei was faintly discernible inside, like a god, suppressing the world.

Its single eye flashed as it looked at Flame Mystic, who had arrived 1000 feet away from Xu Qing.

The Six Filths of God suddenly descended.

“First Filth: Divine fire yields smoke; the arising of smoke imparts impurity.”

Xu Qing’s voice was like a command as it rang out from Ming Fei’s mouth. The universe seemed to have fused into one, forming the sound of the Great Dao.

As soon as he spoke, Flame Mystic’s entire body trembled. Countless impurities appeared out of thin air in her body, turning into black dots that spread throughout her entire body.

This sudden change caused her body to tremble.

“Second Filth: Divine soul harbors desires; the arising of desire harbors mundane attachments, leading to loss of omniscience.”

Xu Qing’s words were as cold as heaven’s sound. Flame Mystic’s expression changed drastically and all her perception instantly disappeared.

“The third Filth: Divine body can decline; the arising of decay leads to corruption, devoid of eternity.”

All the black spots rotted. In the blink of an eye, Flame Mystic looked neither human nor ghost. Her flesh and blood fell off and her bones were decaying.

“The fourth Filth: Divine shrine is shrouded in dust; the arising of dust obscures its brilliance, severing the incense flame.”

Flame Mystic’s Dao foundation collapsed and she let out a wail as her cultivation base shook.

“The fifth Filth: Divinity bears defilement; the arising of defilement lacks wisdom, disrupting the divine order.”

The power of soul annihilation rose.

“The sixth Filth: A god’s life breeds curses; the arising of curses severs life, extinguishing the divine source!”

Killing intent erupted from Xu Qing’s eyes. His voice was like thunder and every word he said seemed to shake the world.

For the first time, the Six Filths of God shone in Wanggu.

Under their power, Flame Mystic’s body was instantly destroyed and his soul turned to ashes. None of her bodies in the surroundings was spared and all of them dissipated.

At that moment, the power of time erupted again and illusions appeared one after another. Seeing that Flame Mystic was about to use the divine power secret art from before, Xu Qing’s expression changed cold.

He had been searching for a solution and had found it!

He didn’t need to kill her bodies time and time again, he had to destroy them all in one go.

At that moment, he raised and lowered his right hand. Immediately, the Purple Moon Divine Authority behind him shone, forming a Purple Moon. The moonlight shone down, landing on Flame Mystic’s illusions and her fate.

Hence, in the illusions that appeared, there was purple moonlight.

This moonlight had fused into all of Flame Mystic’s past and was everywhere.

Everything about Flame Mystic appeared in Xu Qing’s mind with the moonlight as a guide. He knew almost everything!

Flame Mystic wanted to struggle. Xu Qing shook his head and a sword cry rang out from his body. A cold light rushed out of his body with the momentum of splitting the sky.

The sky changed color and a white light illuminated the world.

It was a sword shadow!

It was the Emperor Sword in Xu Qing’s body!

The soul of the Northern Emperor held the Great Emperor Sword and controlled it from within the repository. Although he couldn’t materialize the sword outside, he could form sword shadows.

With the Purple Moon’s light as the catalyst, the sword slashed down!

This sword strike could destroy reincarnation, slash the past, and sever the present.

All of Flame Mystic’s illusory past spat out blood at this instant, their expression turning crazed.

The crowd was in an uproar, and the nobles were visibly moved.

The gazes of the three magistrates suddenly flickered. The young magistrate disappeared from his position and reappeared within the illusory scenes of all the pasts of the Flame Mystic, standing before him with his hand raised as if to obstruct the descending shadow of the Emperor Sword.

Xu Qing’s eyes flashed. After pondering for a moment, he flicked his sleeve. Immediately, the majestic Emperor Sword disappeared.

Before the sword shadow landed, it dissipated on its own, and the world returned to normal.

Xu Qing calmly cupped his fists and bowed to the youth. After that, he ignored them and headed toward the crowd, standing beside the captain.

At that moment, as the sky recovered and the sword shadows in Flame Mystic’s illusions disappeared, Flame Mystic’s secret art was finally completed. After he reformed his body, he resided there silently and stared at Xu Qing’s back with a complicated expression.

“I lost. In the future, I’m willing to die in your place once!”

As he spoke, he pressed his forehead; a drop of soul blood headed straight for Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took it but didn’t speak.

As for that magistrate youth standing beside Flame Mystic, his gaze was deep as he stared at Xu Qing and voiced in a low voice.

“Omniscience?”

Xu Qing shook his head.

“It’s not omniscience, I just know everything about her.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
