OUTSIDE OF TIME

Chapter 1442: God Who Devours Light

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the fifth day since the Empress’ decree was issued.

It was clear weather with gentle wind and bright sun.

The morning sun shone on the Seven Blood Eyes’ port.

The bustling port was filled with numerous cultivators and ordinary people coming and going. Among them were various races from different islands, engaging in trade.

The current Seven Blood Eyes was already an overlord-level existence. Its sphere of influence covered the inner sea, causing countless island races to be willing to come under it.

All the resources of the Nanhuang Continent converged at the ports of the Seven Blood Eyes. While goods were distributed from here to various places, the port connected to Yinghuang Province transported goods from the Wanggu.

High-ranking cultivators did not usually participate in these matters, which were mostly managed by lower-ranking cultivators. This created a vast grassroots base, serving as nourishment for the sect’s growth and the training of its disciples.

As a result, a dense array of magic boats and foreign races’ ships constantly entered and exited, with more vessels always waiting outside the port for entry.

Even so, the order was very good.

This made the work of the various departments that maintained public security in the Seven Blood Eyes simple.

Especially the Homicide Department. Most of them looked kind and harmless.

However, the nonhumans were extremely wary of those disciples wearing the uniform of the Homicide Department.

They knew that the appearances of this group of Homicide Department cultivators were all fake!

In reality, all of them were scheming. They could laugh and stab at the same time.

All these years, during the course of the Seven Blood Eyes’ rise, the corpses of all the troublemakers and fiendish people who had been killed were the best proof.

The older generation of nonhumans knew about this the best. Many young nonhumans learned from them that originally, only the disciples of the Seventh Peak of Seven Blood Eyes exhibited such behavior.

But now… the Homicide Departments of all the peaks had adopted the same demeanor.

In fact, looking broadly, it was evident that not only the Homicide Department but also the disciples of the other peaks of Seven Blood Eyes had mostly become like the Seventh Peak of the past…

It was as though it had become a trend.

“This group of people is very sinister!”

This was the common understanding of all forces.

However, there was nothing they could do. They didn’t dare to offend the Seven Blood Eyes, let alone the Homicide Department.

This was because there was a big shot who was currently at the peak of the Eastern Wanggu and he was from the Homicide Department.

All the forces on the Forbidden Sea knew of this big shot.

Just recently, the entire Eastern Wanggu had been in an uproar because of him alone.

As for his past legends, they could be found everywhere.

It could be said that on the Forbidden Sea, his name could cause an entire race to instantly fall silent.

He had supreme status!

Compared to the reverence of these foreign races, the Homicide Department of all the peaks in the Seven Blood Eyes worshiped this big shot who was born in their department. They almost regarded him as a god.

At that moment, this god of the Homicide Department was sitting in the pavilion that Old Master Seventh used to stay in. Under the morning sun, he silently cultivated.

Every time he breathed, a resplendent light emitted from the rising sun in the sky and fused into his mouth, as though he was devouring the light.

It transformed into specks of crystals that spread throughout his body. At the same time, it was also nurturing Xu Qing’s Profound Sun Immortal Light.

Under the sunlight, as he devoured the light, his body looked even more gorgeous.

The purple robe, the long purple hair, the peerless face, and the tall and straight body made everyone who saw it involuntarily sigh at the perfection.

“He can clearly rely on this face to live a better life. For example, he can find a god to dual cultivate with but he still chooses to work so hard…”

“As expected of my junior brother. His choice is exactly the same as mine back then.”

Erniu was also sitting in the pavilion. After taking a look at Xu Qing, he sighed with emotion and spoke to his second junior sister and Huang Yan.

Second Junior Sister fell silent and didn’t bother with him.

However, Huang Yan raised his brows.

“Emiu, you dropped something.”

Emiu was smug.

“Are you trying to say that my face has fallen, hinting that I’m shameless? Brother-in-law, you’re too petty.”

Huang Yan glared. The other party’s despicable appearance made him want to slap him to death.

Emiu also glared. At the seabed, he was a little afraid of Huang Yan. However, in his sect, especially since his junior sister was still here, he naturally wasn’t afraid.

Seeing the two of them exchange glances as though there was fire, Second Junior Sister frowned.

“Enough, you two.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Yan immediately smiled apologetically while Erniu was filled with pride.

Seeing her senior brother like this, Old Second had no choice but to change the topic.

“All the holy lands left Eastern Wanggu two days ago. Before the new holy lands descend, there should be a short period of peace.”

“However, according to what that Evil Life Ancestor said before he died, a war in the future… is probably unavoidable. Now that Master is in seclusion, how should the Seven Blood Eyes prepare? Senior Brother, do you have a plan?” “Of course!” Erniu licked his lips.

“That Empress is also petty. She only gave us half of the resources in the Evil Life Holy Land. She even monopolized the Evil Life Holy Mountain!”

“She is too much. If we modify the Holy Mountain, it will be a great killing weapon!”

“Therefore, my plan is that our Seven Blood Eyes will write a letter to the Empress in the name of the old man and severely condemn the Empress before asking for the Holy Mountain.”

At this point, the captain’s eyes lit up.

When Huang Yan heard this, he blinked and was a little tempted.

Old Second fell into deep thought. A long time later, she was about to speak when her voice transmission jade slip vibrated at the next instant. After she picked it up, she used her perception and looked at Xu Qing.

“Junior brother, someone saw the bronze dragon carriage you’re looking for.”

Upon hearing these words, the meditating Xu Qing’s body flickered with dazzling light, which was then entirely swallowed back into him as he opened his eyes.

The mark of authority in his right eye glowed, emitting a terrifying pressure that shook some of the laws and rules here, causing the sky to change color.

After the battle with Transient Evil, Xu Qing had returned and had been focusing on adapting to the erase authority, leaving him no time to search for the dragon carriage.

However, he knew that the dragon carriage must still be in the inner sea.

Hence, after he returned, he issued a mission in the sect, asking the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples to inform him immediately if they noticed the dragon-carriage giant.

Now, the result had finally come.

At the next instant, Xu Qing stood up and looked at Second Senior Sister.

“The disciple who saw the dragon carriage has some relationship with you.”

Second Senior Sister waved her hand and threw a jade slip at Xu Qing.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

After Xu Qing caught it, he swept his divine sense over and nodded. He then walked in the direction of the Forbidden Sea.

Erniu also stood up and laughed.

“Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother will go with you and protect you.”

As he spoke, he strode toward the sky and disappeared with Xu Qing.

“With that little strength of his, what will he protect?!”

Huang Yan snorted and his gaze landed on his senior sister.

After Second Senior Sister nodded, Huang Yan spiritedly jumped, speeding toward the place Xu Qing and Erniu had left in.

At that moment, on the Forbidden Sea, a giant was moving forward, half of its body exposed to the surface of the sea.

As it moved, the ferocious waves transformed into a tsunami that swept in all directions.

In the distance, a magic warship was bobbing up and down on the surface of the sea, as though it would be devoured by the huge waves at any moment. However, it didn’t change its direction and followed the giant from afar.

On the magic warship stood three cultivators.

These three people were all wearing the uniform of the Seven Blood Eyes’ Homicide Department. The leader was a youth with black hair that draped over his shoulders. His entire body emitted a fiendish aura, and his eyes were like those of a ferocious beast, filled with a cold indifference towards the world and a detached attitude towards life.

The last two were middle-aged men. In comparison, they were slightly ordinary.

However, their cultivation bases weren’t weak, especially the youth who was filled with ferocity. He had reached the perfected Golden Core realm and was only half a step away from the Nascent Soul realm.

They were cultivators from the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department and their statuses in the department were extremely high. The person in the lead was the current director of the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department.

Usually, there were very few missions in the department that needed them to go out.

A few days ago, after this director saw the mission Xu Qing had issued, he didn’t hesitate to bring the two deputy directors out to sea together.

Finally, after searching dangerous areas many times, they chanced upon the dragon-carriage giant.

With their cultivation bases, even if they only followed from afar, they were about to collapse.

The terrifying aura from the giant caused them to instinctively tremble.

However, even so, the black-haired youth still gritted his teeth and persisted with his special ability.

Such desperate actions caused the two deputy directors behind him to recall some things and rumors about this director.

Before their director took office, he was a mute. He was crazy and bloodthirsty. Many times, he would fight like a wild beast.

Most of his enemies ended up in pieces.

After taking office, as his cultivation base increased, he was able to speak but he was extremely reticent. As for his ferocity, it grew even stronger.

He had captured almost all the wanted criminals over the years.

During this process, their director’s ferocious name rose illustriously among the various races in the Forbidden Sea.

There were also rumors that this director was Xu Qing’s follower.

Some people said that they had seen it with their own eyes, while others thought that it was nonsense.

Also, because Xu Qing didn’t return for many years, it gradually became a rumor.

However, now that the two of them saw their director putting so much effort, they believed the rumors even more.

Just like that, while they were trembling in fear, fifteen minutes passed.

The giant’s figure slowly disappeared from the surface of the sea. However, the tsunami became even larger and rumbled over many times. The magic warship they were on also cracked under the power of the Forbidden Sea, looking like it would shatter into pieces at any time.

However, the black-haired youth was still persistent. As he desperately circulated his cultivation base to control the magic warship, his special perception spread out and locked onto the direction so that he wouldn’t deviate.

Even though his seven orifices were beginning to bleed, he didn’t dare to relax at all.

However, as time passed and the tsunami grew larger, vortices formed one after another on the surface of the sea, transforming into a huge tearing force, causing more cracks to appear on the magic warship.

At that moment, an even larger vortex moved closer and directly swept up the magic warship. The entire magic warship shook violently and started shattering.

The two cultivators from the Seventh Peak’s Homicide Department shouted in fright.

However, at the next instant, the sound of thunder rang out from the sky, exploding in all directions.

The sound merged with the noise of the tsunami, transforming into a calm voice as it reached the sea’s surface.

“Calm!”
