Outside of Time [Webnovel]

The surroundings of the Dao Altar in the East Demon Feather were in an uproar.

Countless Demon Feather cultivators in the surroundings watched as the Dao Altar that had great symbolic meaning to them collapsed. They looked at the withered branch that soared into the sky and the fruit on it.

All of their hearts were in turmoil.

This was especially when… the Demon Feather Great Emperor, who had been sitting in the air above the East Demon Feather Dao Altar, blurred and dissipated.

It was actually a phantom image.

With his status as a Great Emperor, no one could see through the illusion.

Now, with the collapse of the Dao Altar and the impact of the Dao Fruit’s aura, others saw through this illusion.

All of this transformed into an invisible storm, sweeping in all directions. At the same time, a strong sense of unease, stemming from the instincts of life, began to surge intensely.

On one hand, this unease came from the drastic changes here. On the other hand… it came from the bell chime that echoed throughout the entire Demon Feather Holy Land.

The ancient bell rang out, echoing through the world.

It was the bell of war.

This was because the collapse of the Dao Altar seemed to have become a signal.

The human race and the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race rose into the air and launched a decisive battle against the two holy lands floating in the air.

In an instant, chaos descended.

The outside world was in chaos, and the world inside the Dao fruit was also in chaos.

As Nether Flame shouted in the bone cauldron, the cauldron emitted a monstrous rumbling sound and trembled intensely. As for the worms formed by Erniu outside the bone cauldron, they collapsed one after another after enduring the struggle in the bone cauldron.

In the bone cauldron, it was as though Nether Flame had mobilized the might of the Dao Fruit, achieving balance once more. He displayed a formidable force that was on the verge of erupting.

With a rumbling sound, the lid of the bone cauldron showed signs of opening.

At the next instant, the lid of the bone cauldron suddenly shook and lifted slightly, revealing a narrow gap. As the golden and purple lights intertwined, they penetrated through the gaps around the lid.

Great Emperor Nether Flame was about to escape.

At the critical moment, the fragmented space where the Empress was in the distance suddenly erupted.

At the same time, outside the bone cauldron, the remaining blue worms all revealed madness in their eyes. They quickly digested the crystals Xu Qing had sent over and shouted.

“F*cking geezer, do you think I’m afraid of you?!”

“Third life!!”

As they roared, the transparent sea below directly exploded. Endless seawater stirred up monstrous waves, turning the entire transparent sea into a huge vortex.

An ancient aura rose from the vortex.

Previously, after his body shattered and he fell into the sea, Erniu had actually found the memory fragments of his third life in the depths of the sea. However, on one hand, there was a time limit and on the other hand, his current ability wasn’t enough.

Hence, he couldn’t absorb them completely immediately.

This lasted until Xu Qing sent over the origin energy crystals…

For Xu Qing, this origin energy could mold an immortal body. For Erniu, it was similarly incredibly precious.

It could nourish his body, allowing him to undo more seals and rapidly absorb the memories of his third life.

Now that he had absorbed them, he possessed the ability to preliminarily summon his third life.

Hence, at the next instant, the entire transparent sea erupted and ice flames swept out of the vortex. Cold air instantly filled the surroundings.

Immediately after, a large black hand rose into the air from the vortex of the transparent sea.

This hand was illusory, but the aura it emitted wasn’t only ancient but also carried a peerless ferocity that shook the heavens and the earth.

Its appearance was also bizarre.

It appeared to be a hand, but in reality, a head grew on the middle finger, while the ring and index fingers bent down to form arms.

The pinky and thumb drooped down like two legs.

As for the palm, a fissure opened up, revealing a gaping mouth.

Countless black hairs covered it.

It looked incomparably sinister and shocking.

This was the projection of Erniu’s third life and also the peerless giant sin that was suppressed by the Immortal Art Great Emperor back then.

After being summoned by Erniu, it headed straight for the sky and arrived above the bone cauldron in the blink of an eye. It then pressed down on the bone cauldron that was shaking intensely.

“Refine!”

Erniu roared.

The bone cauldron shook before immediately turning quiet. However, before Erniu could be arrogant, an even more intense explosive force emitted from the bone cauldron at the next moment.

The rumbling sounds were deafening.

The projection of Erniu’s third life immediately turned blurry and showed signs of collapse.

In the end, this wasn’t his third life’s true body and was only a projection. Facing the terrifying Nether Flame in the bone cauldron, its suppression power wasn’t completely effective.

The projection of Erniu’s third life was on the verge of collapsing…

At the critical moment, Xu Qing completed the final fusion of the seven great worlds in his body. He immediately made a move.

In an instant, he appeared beside the projection of Erniu’s third life. His eyes gleamed as he raised his right hand and pressed down on the shaking bone cauldron below.

“Extreme metal, extreme wood, extreme water, extreme fire, extreme earth!”

Heavenly sounds rang out from his mouth.

At the next instant, five out of the seven worlds behind him suddenly landed, vaguely forming five broken crystals that erupted with the power of the five elements, surrounding the bone cauldron and suppressing it.

After that, the remaining two worlds also landed rapidly.

Extreme space, extreme time!

A heart-rending sound rang out from the bone cauldron. However, at the next instant, Xu Qing and Erniu’s expressions changed drastically at the same time. An incomparably terrifying impact surged from the bone cauldron.

The strength of this impact was like a hot knife through butter, as though all obstructions were meaningless.

At the next instant, it erupted!

The lid of the bone cauldron was pushed back. Xu Qing and Erniu were also forced back violently, and Nether Flame flew up from the bone cauldron.

Although they were strong, the gap between them and Nether Flame wasn’t small.

“You guys…”

When a hoarse voice rang out from the figure’s mouth, the fragmented space the Empress was in collapsed.

A god’s aura erupted from It.

The fluctuations formed were so great that they swept through this world, causing the color of the world to change. At the same time, the Empress’ figure took a step forward and teleported beside the bone cauldron, pressing down fiercely.

Everything distorted.

The peak strength of the Divine Platform rose completely without reservation.

Xu Qing and Erniu immediately retreated and moved aside from the battlefield.

They understood that the situation here was no longer something they could control.

Faced with the Empress’ attack, Nether Flame’s eyes were bloodshot. He raised his hand and waved it, wanting to break through the Empress’ power.

However, at the next instant, an ancient planet rose behind the Empress.

As soon as this planet appeared, the wind and clouds surged, and its vast aura covered the sky and the earth.

On the planet, five figures were sitting cross-legged.

These five figures were gods and also the past human emperors.

Eastern Triumph, Holy Heaven, Mirror Cloud, Dao World, and Mystic War.

Their divine power erupted completely and pushed the ancient planet, suppressing Nether Flame.

As for the collapsed fragmented space in the distance, it was no longer blurry at this moment, revealing the thousands of holes formed from the battle earlier as well as the heart-rending death of the Nether Flame avatar.

There was also the Demon Feather Great Emperor who was heavily injured.

At that moment, Demon Feather looked at the departing figure of the Empress and this world. His face was pale as he muttered.

“This cultivation realm is actually formed from the extremely rare Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit!”

“Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit can allow any existence below the True God Realm to have the possibility of reviving. One Dao Fruit can be used three times, but each user can only use it once in their lifetime.”

“This fruit is quite withered, so it should have been used by Nether Flame. There’s only one last use left before it dissipates.”

“So, this was the reason for Nether Flame’s revival!”

“It’s also the Empress’ greatest plan this time!”

Demon Feather spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back. From above the bone cauldron, the Empress looked at Nether Flame who was in the bone cauldron.

At that moment, fifty percent of Nether Flame’s body was purple, thirty percent golden, and twenty percent blue.

She couldn’t see the source of the purple color, but the source of the golden color was a drop of river water. As for the blue color… it came from the Dao Fruit, which was also the main focus of the Empress.

On this trip, She had been hiding Her strength!

She didn’t use Her full strength.

On one hand, the cultivation of Her opponent this time was almost at the peak.

On the other hand, Her plan was too important, and She would only have one chance.

She wouldn’t allow Herself to fail.

In Her original plan, Xu Qing and Erniu, these two variables, weren’t calculated. In that case, the situation here should be that Nether Flame wanted to possess Demon Feather, and She would cooperate with Demon Feather to achieve Her goal.

Although Nether Flame was powerful, She also had a backup plan.

However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes. The appearance of Xu Qing and Erniu, these two variables, caused a huge change in the situation. Nether Flame changed his mind and gave up on possessing Demon Feather. Instead, he cooperated with the latter.

The target of his possession was changed to Xu Qing.

Hence, the Empress was watching and waiting for an opportunity.

As for the variables, in the subsequent events, the Empress increasingly felt that it wasn’t a bad thing.

Regardless of whether it was Erniu’s third life or the strangeness of Xu Qing’s body, they allowed Her to have more confidence than before.

Hence, She continued to wait.

In order to escape, Nether Flame took the initiative to reveal the power of the Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit. The Empress… had finally found an opportunity!

What She wanted was for Nether Flame to reveal the Dao Fruit.

Hence, the Empress immediately used the backup plan She had prepared for this trip without hesitation.

Her backup plan was the human race’s Ancient Sovereign Planet.

It was also the number one supreme treasure of the human race.

Moreover, with the enhancement of the five human gods, this supreme treasure could display astonishing power.

At that moment, amidst the rumbling, the Ancient Sovereign Planet suppressed down.

Nether Flame’s shouts echoed intensely.

He wanted to break out of the cauldron, but with the Empress unhesitatingly using Her divine blood again to enhance the suppression, as well as the eruption of Her Divine Platform realm, he was unable to escape.

Immediately after, a vortex appeared in the falling Ancient Sovereign Planet.

It pushed down.

With the power of this planet, the power of the five human emperors, and the might of the Empress’ Divine Platform, the vortex swallowed the bone cauldron along with Nether Flame!

It sealed Nether Flame inside the planet.

After completing all of this, the Empress’s eyes unexpectedly revealed a resolute determination that was unmistakably human.

She© had become she.

From the start, her goal wasn’t to kill Nether Flame, nor was it Nether Flame’s soul.

What she had been waiting for was Nether Flame to reveal the Dao fruit, then she would rely on the Ancient Sovereign Planet to isolate him from the outside world!

This caused this Myriad Mystical Life Dao Fruit to lose its connection with Nether Flame.

For a short time, it would become an item with no karma.

Only then would she have a chance to achieve her ultimate goal!

“Great Emperor…”

The Empress mumbled. With a raise of her hand, a vast statue flew out of her body. It grew larger and larger and landed on the sea below.

The seawater trembled.

That statue was of the Sword Holding Great Emperor!

Xu Qing’s heart fluctuated and his breathing became hurried with excitement as he stared at this scene.

He guessed the Empress’ motive.

As for the Empress, her eyes, which had been calm since she became a god, now gazed at the statue, filled with deep longing and reverence for her elder.

She spoke softly.

“Return…”

She wanted to revive the Sword Holding Great Emperor!
