OUTSIDE OF TIME

Spirit Sound’s New Master (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

The sun rose into the sky, illuminating the night and illuminating the entire Spirit Sound Forbidden Region. It also enveloped the surroundings with light and heat.

Although it wasn’t the true sun and couldn’t nourish all living beings in Wanggu, in this forbidden region, the sun that rose on Xu Qing’s body was still enough to suppress the world in his eyes.

The forbidden region he was looking at rumbled and the river churned intensely.

The space around him distorted and the ground under his feet became blurry. The moment the sun rose, he had become the master of this place.

The anomalous substances that belonged to the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region were still trying to struggle. They fluctuated intensely and countless wails echoed from the void, including the puppet with the damaged flute hanging on its neck.

The puppet rapidly retreated. Its single eye revealed madness as it let out a deep roar. It wasn’t willing to accept this and wanted to counterattack. However, any actions became powerless in the light of the sun.

At the critical moment, it even took off the broken flute and placed it by its mouth before blowing it fiercely. A sharp and ear-piercing sound tore through the air, wanting to fight a decisive battle with Xu Qing.

Although it had some effect, causing the light of the sun to dim a little, it only lasted for a moment before everything returned to normal.

Only despair was left, causing it, whose intelligence was in chaos, to wake up for a short period. A bitter expression appeared on its face.

It knew that the forbidden region had both made it what it was and limited its growth!

In the end, amidst the puppet’s bitterness, the flute’s melody collapsed into fragments of sound.

Even the damaged flute trembled, with a few horrifying cracks appearing on it.

The puppet’s body emitted cracking sounds as countless fine cracks spread throughout its body.

This lasted until immortal light circulated and illuminated all things. Under Xu Qing’s sun, most of the puppet’s body shattered. The remaining part of it was invisibly suppressed and fell from the sky.

With a loud crash, it smashed into the spot where the core tree had been. It was as it an invisible giant mountain was pressing down on it, making any struggle futile, leaving it unable to get up at all.

The anomalous substances in the forbidden region also calmed down after the puppet was suppressed. The river didn’t churn anymore and every being prostrated.

Only Xu Qing’s figure walked over step by step from the horizon and stood in front of the puppet.

The puppet raised its head with difficulty and the sound of wood shavings scraping rang out from its mouth. The clarity in its eyes gradually dissipated and it became chaotic and crazy again as it stared fixedly at Xu Qing.

“Realizing that relying on the forbidden region made it difficult to improve its own realm, it decided that instead of waiting for the fragmented-face to glance here, it would be better to take a risk and break free from the shackles of the forbidden region?”

“Hence, it parasitized Li Zimei.”

“But it paid a price. During this process, its intelligence was obscured and fell into chaos.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke and revealed the truth he had seen.

The puppet’s answer was still struggle and low roars.

Xu Qing shook his head. His gaze then landed on the unconscious Li Zimei and QingQiu.

It was still fine for Qing Qiu, Xu Qing arrived in time. Although she had lost her vitality, her foundation hadn’t collapsed and she could still be saved.

However, Li Zimei… was already on the verge of death.

Her soul was already riddled with holes and corroded beyond recognition Now half of it was parasitized by the Master of Spirit Sound… This half was both her ’ calamity and her lifeline.

Once the Spirit Sound’s Master died, the parasite would disappear and Li

Zimei’s soul would instantly dissipate.

If it was before he encountered Transient Evil, Xu Qing wouldn’t be able to turn the tables in such a situation. Unless he looked for the Empress or his master to help him, he could only watch helplessly as Li Zimei’s fate was difficult to change.

But now, he had a way to change it.

The Dao mark of erase authority flickered in Xu Qing’s right eye as he waved his right hand. Immediately, a needle appeared in the air and shone with a cold light in front of him.

This needle looked ordinary but as it appeared, everything in the surroundings overlapped for a moment.

This needle came from Transient Evil’s son. It was the treasure left behind by a peak-level Great Emperor of their holy land.

It had the power to sew karma.

It could be used by itself but that would be somewhat crude, but if it was combined with the erase authority, everything would be perfect.

This was because with erase authority, the world in Xu Qing’s eye was different from what ordinary people saw.

He could see strands of karma threads.

In his eyes, although the thread between Li Zimei and the puppet had been erased previously, it was only temporary. It hadn’t completely disappeared and was in the midst of recovery.

Once it was completely cut off, with Li Zimei’s current weakness, she would die instantly.

Hence, Xu Qing was prepared to implicate other karma for Li Zimei before severing this karma to extend her life.

The best karma was right in front of him.

Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the surrounding forbidden region.

After some thought, he raised his hand and waved it. Immediately, the needle in front of him shone and headed straight for Li Zimei. It shuttled rapidly through her body and began to suture.

it stitched together the karma between Li Zimei and this forbidden region.

At the same time, a pair of rusty scissors appeared above the puppet’s head out of thin air under Xu Qing’s summoning. Under Xu Qing’s control, it ruthlessly cut.                 y

Snip.

The karma between the forbidden region and the puppet was instantly severed.

The puppet’s body trembled and it let out a heart-rending wail.

However, because of Xu Qing’s cultivation, these karma threads couldn’t be completely cut off. It was only temporary. Moreover, the broken karma threads were still trying to reconnect.

However, the needle that was suturing the karma between Li Zimei and the forbidden region moved even faster at this moment, transforming into countless afterimages.

Just like that, several times later.

As the scissors continued to cut, the karma between Li Zimei and the forbidden region was finally completely stitched together, causing the karma with the puppet to be severed!
