Outside Of Time

1562  Huge Harvest (1)

In the Fifth Star Ring, in an unknown area, in the spirit mine.

In the sky above, the dome that existed there continued to cover all directions, isolating the inside from the outside, making it difficult for the external world to detect any of the disturbances occurring within.

The swamp was filled with deep pits. Those were the traces of the battle between Xu Qing and the middle-aged Ruler.

Other than that, there were also countless small bubble worlds that were shattering.

Xu Qing was standing in the air. His face was pale and his entire body was badly mangled.

However, he didn't care about these. What he was looking at was the decapitated body of the Ruler.

At the same time, he performed a one-handed hand seal while maintaining his vigilance for any unexpected situations. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

If there was the slightest abnormality, he would slash out again.

This lasted until he saw that the Ruler's aura was completely gone. Under the destructive sword energy, his corpse rapidly dissipated.

When it turned into ashes completely, Xu Qing's heart finally calmed down.

This battle wasn't easy.

Perhaps due to the differences in star rings and growth histories, Xu Qing could sense that the Ruler he had just fought was superior in both combat strength and techniques compared to the Rulers of the holy lands he had encountered.

"There are three possibilities. One, the one I met is a special case."

"Second, the environment of the Fifth Star Ring is even more dangerous than I imagined, so the Rulers here aren't simple."

"Third, the Rulers of the holy lands have grown complacent over time, leading to a decline in their combat strength."

It was difficult for Xu Qing to make an accurate judgment at this moment because the Fifth Star Ring was still unknown to him. However, his eyes were calm and the baleful aura on his body grew increasingly dense after this battle.

At that moment, his gaze swept in all directions. With a step, he arrived at the place where the middle-aged Ruler's corpse had dissipated.

There was a storage bag there.

Xu Qing grabbed it. After that, he appeared at the location of the shield and Ghost Gate.

The Ghost Gate Art was a powerful technique. With the death of the Ruler, the Ghost Gate had collapsed and disappeared.

Xu Qing took a look and put away his shield. He then took a step forward and arrived near the life-seizing incense.

This incense only burned a little before Xu Qing's Great Emperor Scissors severed the karma and extinguished it.

"This thing isn't bad."

Xu Qing made a grabbing gesture; the incense quickly flew into his hand. He wiped away the imprint on it and left his own mark. Then, he looked up toward where the shadow was.

Little Shadow's main body was still fighting against the crystalline tree.

Originally, Little Shadow was at a disadvantage and it couldn't put up any fight. If not for its bizarre characteristics and regeneration, it would have died long ago.

However, when the middle-aged Ruler died, the crystalline treasure tree seemed to have lost its support. Little Shadow seized the opportunity to counterattack.

At that moment, amidst the rumbling sounds, Xu Qing looked at the treasure tree and the figure that looked exactly like him.

"You should possess a certain level of intelligence, so… either I destroy you or submit to me."　  　   　　　 　　  　　 

When Xu Qing's voice entered the battlefield, Little Shadow was in high spirits. He immediately emitted emotional fluctuations and helped Xu Qing threaten the tree.

The crystalline treasure tree trembled, while the figure it manifested sensed how terrifying Xu Qing was. Hence, after a short silence, this figure lowered its head and bowed to Xu Qing before dissipating.

As for the crystalline treasure tree, after a few times of flickering, it dimmed and stopped attacking.

When Xu Qing saw this, he grabbed through the air.

Immediately, the treasure tree flew straight toward Xu Qing without struggling. It allowed Xu Qing to erase the imprint on its body and leave a new mark.

Little Shadow also returned at this moment, revealing deep fatigue.

"You did well."

Xu Qing praised.

Little Shadow's spirits were lifted. Being commended by Xu Qing seemed to be extremely meaningful to it. Hence, its mood immediately became cheerful.

"Lord… I am… useful…"

Xu Qing nodded. His gaze then landed on the crystalline treasure tree.

The might of this tree wasn't ordinary, especially the method of absorbing the enemy's aura and traces of spells to form a figure.

If he used it together with the life-seizing incense, unless the other party had a similar check and balance method as him, it could be considered a trump card.

"I gained quite a lot from this battle. Other than these two treasures…"

Xu Qing looked at the Ruler's storage bag he had obtained.

A hint of anticipation rose in his heart.

"However, before I investigate this storage bag, there's a small situation that needs to be resolved."

Xu Qing raised his head and gazed into the distance, calmly speaking.

"If you don't show yourself within three breaths of time, I'll make sure you remain permanently hidden."

Xu Qing's voice echoed in the spirit mines. Two breaths later, on the distant swamp, the emptiness warped and a figure quickly appeared from its transparent state.

This was a pale-faced youth with dense fear in his eyes. The moment he appeared, he immediately knelt down in front of Xu Qing.

Large beads of sweat flowed down his forehead and his entire body was covered in sweat.

He was the servant of the Ruler Xu Qing had killed.

His cultivation level was only at the Spirit Repository.

Originally, he was satisfied to be able to become the servant of the Ruler. Moreover, when he saw the Ruler taking action earlier and Xu Qing being in danger, he had thought disdainfully of Xu Qing.

However, things shifted too quickly. After seeing the death of the Ruler with his own eyes, he went from astonishment to bewilderment to horror. His heart was already rumbling.

Hence, he didn't dare to move. He wanted to rely on the talisman given by the Ruler to attempt to hide himself. Although he knew that the possibility wasn't high, in the life-and-death crisis earlier, he could only pray that he could muddle through.

At that moment, Xu Qing's words caused the youth's body to tremble uncontrollably. He knelt there and kept kowtowing.

After his gaze scanned over the person, Xu Qing did not kill him. In fact, during the previous fight with the Ruler, he had already sensed this individual's presence. Now, keeping him alive served another purpose.
