Outside Of Time

Chapter 1524: Initial Signs

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

Back then, the speed of the golden rat of the old man of the fifth star ring surpassed the flow of time. It came and went without leaving a trace and hid in spacetime. Unless one was a supreme expert, it would be difficult to find it.

From this, one could see how terrifying this beast was.

However, if a juvenile golden rat wanted to reach adulthood and reach the realm of the golden rat of the old man from the fifth star ring, there would be many calamities and less than one in a hundred would survive. The difficulty was incredibly high.

However, its value wasn’t small.

The moment the beast was born, the mysterious middle-aged cultivator wasn’t

the only one who noticed this scene.

Outside the Demon Feather Holy Land, in the cave of the Liaoxuan Holy Land on the Wanggu, the sleeping Night Mill suddenly opened Its eyes.

Its eyes revealed an intense golden light as It raised Its head and looked in the direction of the Demon Feather.

Through the connection of Its bloodline, It sensed the birth of Its descendant.

A hint of complexity and relief appeared in Its eyes.

Back then, when Droz personally extinguished Its divine fire and captured It, It didn’t have an heir.

The two eggs after that were actually a last-ditch attempt to save Itself.

With Its innate ability, It forcefully separated Its bloodline and used time to hide the eggs from karma and Droz’s perception. In the end… the eggs were taken away by Xu Qing and Erniu.

What happened back then seemed to be a coincidence, but in reality, only It knew if it was really the case.

A long time later, Night Mill closed Its eyes. At this moment, Its vitality began

to dissipate.

Only a low murmur echoed from Its mouth.

“Parting Present, Parting Present, away from today, piercing through time, breaking through endless voids, escaping without a trace…”

in the Demon Feather Holy Land, the seclusion place of Great Emperor Nether Flame, in the fragment world where the country of women was located, Xu Qing’s mind stirred.

He looked at the little golden rat in his hand and then at the gigantic joyflower.

The instant the golden rat was born, the latter fell into a state of stillness.

It wasn’t just the flower that was motionless, but this space as well.

Everything stopped moving at this instant.

Only Xu Qing and Golden Rat were in a normal state.

As for this little golden rat, after it squeaked and rubbed against Xu Qing’s finger, it emitted hungry thoughts. After that, golden light flashed and it actually flew out of Xu Qing’s palm. It opened its mouth and snapped at the void in the air.

A crack appeared in the void. It actually bit through the space and swallowed a piece of spatial fragment here.

However, it was obvious that it was a little difficult for it to do this. Hence, after taking a bite, it was clearly much weaker. However, the feeling of hunger made it unable to help but take another bite.

At the same time, the spatial rift also broke the stillness of this place. At the next instant, this place recovered and the joyflower swayed intensely.

What caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble even more was that as the space here recovered, an earth-shattering and terrifying will seemed to have come from nothingness and was descending on the joyflower.

Xu Qing only sensed this will for a moment before his heart skipped a beat. He

felt as though he would be drowned by the sea of death.

So, he didn’t have the time to think too much. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the little golden rat who seemed to be going all out and wanted to take a third bite. His body transformed into a stream of light as he brought the little golden rat straight for the spatial gap it had bitten and charged over.

As the terrifying will behind him rapidly descended, Xu Qing instantly entered

and disappeared.

As he left, a vast and resplendent starry sky was reflected in Xu Qing’s eyes.

Although he didn’t know why the starry sky was outside the realm of memory fragments, Xu Qing knew that he was in danger. Hence, he didn’t slow down and moved forward, speeding into the distance.

A long time later, the sense of danger from the terrifying will disappeared.

However, Xu Qing’s anxious heart didn’t relax at all.

This was because in this vast and endless starry sky that contained an indescribable beauty, there was also danger.

It was a storm stirring up in the starry sky.

It swept out in all directions. Wherever it passed, the stars would be destroyed and black holes would appear.

It was like a terrifying mouth that was devouring everything.

The place Xu Qing was at was the edge of the storm.

At the critical moment, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate and waved his hand. Immediately, the Holy Heaven Pagoda appeared in front of Xu Qing.

He stepped in and controlled the pagoda to stay away from the storm.

This was the item Xu Qing thought of that could cross the starry sky. After all, the origin of this pagoda was mysterious.

The Holy Heavenly Vine on it was born in the starry sky.

Just like that, an hour later, as the pagoda continued to move rapidly, they finally left the range of the starry sky storm.

When Xu Qing saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, he sensed the desire emitted by the Holy Heavenly Vine.

It was a desire for the starry sky, as though it was begging Xu Qing to let it leave the pagoda and gallop through the starry sky.

After Xu Qing thought about it, he sensed his surroundings and discovered that the storm was already far away. Hence, he spread out his divine sense.

The Holy Heavenly Vine let out a cheer and its body rapidly left the pagoda. It expanded in the surroundings and became a hundred thousand feet in size. One end curled around the pagoda and the other swayed in front of it.

When Xu Qing saw this, he also walked out of the pagoda. The moment he appeared, the heavenly vine swam around him, emitting joy.

Finally, the front end landed under Xu Qing and carried him. With a mighty tremor, it emanated an inexplicable power, parting the starry sky as it sped forward, like a fish swiftly swimming through water.

If cultivators saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

In this scene, Xu Qing’s robe fluttered as he sat on the heavenly vine. As for the heavenly vine, it was a hundred thousand feet long and had a glorious aura. Its entire body shone with starlight and all its leaves were swaying. It even moved through the starry sky like a dragon.

There was a strange glint in Xu Qing’s eyes. He sensed the joy of the heavenly vine and its speed, understanding that the starry sky was the world of the heavenly vine.

As he moved through the starry sky, Xu Qing gradually saw fragments of various sizes shining like stars in the starry sky.

On those fragments, images were flowing.

They were all realms formed by memories!

However, after experiencing the joyflower realm just now, Xu Qing was wary of these memory fragments. He naturally wouldn’t enter them easily. Hence, he sent a message to the heavenly vine to avoid these fragments.

At the same time, his gaze swept over, searching for the realm where the Empress and Eldest Senior Brother were.

“After all, this is the place where the Great Emperor is in seclusion and there are many dangers. Hence, finding the Empress as soon as possible is the most correct thing to do now.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and sped up.

At the same time, while he was searching outside the memory fragments, in the blood-red world and the sarcoma formed by flesh and blood on the transparent sea, the middle-aged cultivator who had muttered Parting Present Beast raised his head again.

His gaze landed on the fur in the flesh sky. At the next instant, his pupils suddenly constricted, as though he had seen something unbelievable.

After a long time, his breathing became slightly hurried as he closed his eyes and pondered.

A while later, when he opened his eyes again, a dark glint appeared in them. He slowly raised his right hand and pointed at the sky.

The fur in the flesh sky paused in unison. After that, they swayed and intertwined, as though they were rearranging themselves.

At the same time, in the space Xu Qing was in, in an area far away that he couldn’t sense, there were originally seven to eight memory fragments.

However, at that moment, these fragmented worlds suddenly blurred and silently disappeared. Following that, a huge fragmented memory realm appeared, replacing everything.

Moreover, it slowly moved forward and used some mysterious method to appear on the path Xu Qing would definitely arrive on.

As the heavenly vine carried Xu Qing forward for a while, Xu Qing immediately noticed the memory fragment in front of him.

The scene in this fragment was an underground palace.

Moreover, the size of the fragment exceeded everything he had seen on the way.

He didn’t hesitate and was about to control the heavenly vine to move away from it. However, at this moment, golden light flashed in his storage bag. The little golden rat’s expression revealed intense desire and it actually instinctively rushed out.

It transformed into a golden light and headed straight for the fragmented world at an astonishing speed.

Xu Qing’s expression darkened. It was too late to stop it. Hence, he frowned and controlled the heavenly vine to fly toward the fragment.

It entered the fragment.

The sensations of being in a daze, blurred vision, and traversing through space resurfaced in Xu Qing’s perception, identical to the experience he had when entering the realm where the joyflower resided.

At the next instant, when everything in front of him became clear, a vast underground palace appeared in front of Xu Qing.

In front of him, there was a blue water pool emitting a gentle fragrance that spread throughout the underground palace.

As for the little golden rat, it was currently breathing excitedly and happily in the pool. The aura on its body clearly strengthened as it breathed in and out.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the underground palace.

Xu Qing sensed his body and discovered that it was still the appearance of Nether Flame. However, there were a large number of injuries on his body and a sense of weakness surfaced in Xu Qing’s understanding.

It was as though he had experienced a cruel battle.

Almost at the same time that Xu Qing noticed all of this, a divine sense that didn’t contain any emotions suddenly echoed slowly in the underground palace.

“Nether Flame, you’re the first cultivator in the past 30,000 years to pass the

931 tests of my Creation Heavenly Race.”

“Following the previous agreement, you have the qualifications to cleanse your body once. The time limit is fifteen minutes.”

Xu Qing’s heart froze as he looked at the pool.

After a while, he took a step forward and arrived at the edge of the pool. Gazing at the golden mouse breathing in and out within, many thoughts emerged in his mind.

“This memory fragment realm is a little strange.”

“After entering, 1 didn’t have to go through an assessment or experience any hardships; instead, I directly reached the segment that contained opportunities.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and spread out his divine sense to investigate this pool.

However, the instant his divine sense came into contact with the pool, Xu Qing’s expression changed and a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

He didn’t know what the liquid in the pool was but… at that instant earlier, this water actually nourished his body and soul through his divine sense in a way that Xu Qing didn’t understand.

He could clearly sense that most of his soul injuries from the battle with West Demon Child had recovered at this moment.

The most important thing was his body!

He could clearly sense that his body seemed to have… been replenished.

To be precise, vitality had been injected, transforming the seemingly normal yet inherently fragmented body into one with much more vigor.

“To be able to make a body formed from the flesh and blood of Desolate feel this way, what is this liquid?”

Xu Qing took a deep breath and pondered. He first observed the pool and then stared at the little golden rat. After discovering that it was still normal, determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He squatted down and touched the pool with his right hand.

The instant his hand came into contact with the pool, a dense and vast amount of vitality surged in.

Xu Qing’s mind rumbled. His cultivation and aura were erupting. Most importantly, the vitality of his body soared at this moment.

It became increasingly flawless!

At the same time, with a fragmentary realm of memory of the Great Emperor Nether Flame, a battle between the main body and its avatar was unfolding.

On top of the ruins, Nether Flame, who was wearing a purple robe, raised his hand and pinched his other self.

A white aura was emitted from the other party’s seven orifices and was absorbed by him.

As he inhaled, the other party’s body trembled and let out a heart-rending wail. His body was also slowly melting and he lost the appearance of Nether Flame, revealing the figure of a woman.

This woman was one of the two women from the West Demon Feather who had entered this seclusion place.

The absorption continued. A while later, the woman’s appearance dissipated, revealing an old woman!

If Xu Qing was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this old woman… was the Seventh Ruler of the West Demon Feather!

At that moment, the Seventh Ruler’s eyes revealed despair and resentment.

“Who… are you…”

The purple-robed Nether Flame was expressionless and didn’t say a word. After a long time, as the Seventh Ruler completely withered and turned into ashes, he licked his lips and turned to walk into the distance.

As he moved forward, the appearance of Nether Flame gradually dissipated, revealing a tall and straight figure, pitch-black long hair, and a young appearance.

It was the young master of the Yun family who was extremely fanatical about Yue Dong!

However, although he looked like the young master of the Yun family, his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of time. He walked to the top of this world and knelt down to the sky, letting out a deep voice.

“As per the Great Emperor’s decree back then, I’m here to see you.”

“In the past thousand years, everything was as the Great Emperor had expected. The children rebelled and the Lan family harbored ill intentions. In the end, under the open and covert struggles of both sides, they pushed for the opening of the grotto-heaven.”

A vortex rose in the sky and amidst the changing weather, a pair of cold eyes could be seen staring at this place.

A while later, the Yun family’s young master lowered his head and bowed.

“As you command!”
