Outside of Time [Webnovel]

352 Violent and Wicked

The wooden door was mottled by time and exuded an ancient aura. It was like an old man who had experienced countless years and seen through the hearts of people.

The decay contained in the darkness of the wooden door was like the old man’s helplessness against this tragic world.

It was oppressive, strange, and sinister.

This was the feeling this door gave Xu Qing.

!!

The moment the black door opened, Xu Qing could sense that everything in his surroundings seemed to have fallen silent and all sounds had disappeared.

The wind stopped moving, and so did the clouds and fog. Even his heartbeat seemed to have stopped at this instant. This was the case for everything, including his rapidly retreating body and Saintly Star, who was standing above the door.

It was as though the power of this door was too vast and mystical. Regardless of whether it was the user or the target, they would all be stripped of their right to move.

Xu Qing had experienced this feeling before. Four years ago, when the song rang out in the forbidden zone of the scavenger campsite, he saw the pair of female boots and the fog walking over from the jungle.

At that time, he felt the same thing. Following the appearance of this wooden door, a similar chill that was enough to penetrate his very soul, as though it could freeze his thoughts appeared.

Xu Qing’s breathing stopped and white frost appeared on his brows and hair. His body was invaded by the extreme cold from the inside out. At this moment, he lost vision of everything other than the slowly opening door.

An ear-piercing creaking sound rang out as the black door gradually opened.

It was pitch-black inside, as though there was nothing there. Only the cold intent spread out even more intensely. One could even see waves of thin white gas spreading out from the edge of the door.

Saintly Star’s expression was sinister and the killing intent in his eyes was intense. This door was called the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door. It was a supreme treasure even to him, but he had only used it once since he obtained it.

Both sides would be suppressed when he used it, so he didn’t dare to use it rashly after that one time. Most importantly, using this door consumed his soul.

This door was extremely strange and had a mysterious origin. It was unknown what would appear after opening it, so its lethality varied from person to person. His grandfather had told him about this.

The last time he used it, a rotting tongue appeared from the door. This made him extremely uncomfortable because his grandfather had said that what this door manifested was the heart of the target.

At that moment, he really wanted to know what would appear inside the door when Xu Qing faced it.

“It’s best if an evil ghost appears, an evil ghost that will tear him apart!!”

The instant Saintly Star shouted inwardly, inside the black wooden door, the endless darkness suddenly changed at this moment. A beam of light actually appeared!

At the start, this light was still very weak, only a dot. However, in the blink of an eye, it continued to spread and expand. In the end, it transformed into a sea of light that was extremely resplendent and bright.

It then spread outwards, turning into countless streams.

Wherever it passed, the sky outside the door turned from dark to bright. It was the same for the surrounding ground and countless plants. At this moment, Xu Qing’s figure was enveloped by this bright light and drowned in the sea of light.

In this sea of light, Xu Qing’s entire body emitted an indescribable intense pain. It was as though his entire body was being burned, including his organs.

This light penetrated his body, his soul, and everything else. Wherever it passed, it brought intense pain that caused green smoke to rise from his body, as though he was about to be erased. While he was unable to withstand this light, it was also because of the appearance of this light that he regained his mobility and retreated abruptly.

He retreated with his full speed but he still couldn’t stop the burning of this light. It was as though he had become the night and this sea of light wanted to tear the darkness apart.

His skin was burned to pitch-black, his body lost its moisture, and his hair and brows turned to ashes. Regardless of whether it was the life lantern or the emperor-level cultivation art, they were both resisting with all their might.

He also took out a jade slip and held it in his hand. His expression revealed a hint of hesitation but in the end, he didn’t crush it and sped up his retreat.

When Xu Qing retreated in his inhuman form, Saintly Star saw this. However, there was no joy on his face at all. Instead, he showed disbelief. In fact, he couldn’t believe his own eyes. An intense sense of absurdity rose in his mind.

“Light?”

“After the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door opened toward you, it actually released light!!”

“How is this possible? You’ve killed countless people like me and walked on their bones. You’re even proficient in evil poison art and cultivate the soul devouring fire. Your entire body emits black flames and even your life lantern is black. It isn’t an exaggeration to call you a demon, but the image in your heart is actually light!!”

“Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!”

“Being in the darkness and having light in your heart?” Saintly Star’s eyes were red and his expression was sinister. He had already lost his composure and couldn’t control his emotions. The door actually emitted light!

This was what he yearned for!!

His Dao title was Saintly Star. The word Saintly Star represented light. However, what appeared when he opened the door was a rotting and disgusting tongue. With this comparison, the killing intent in his heart soared again.

When he noticed Xu Qing had already retreated out of the range of the light inside the door, he made a series of hand seals. Immediately, the door closed with a bang. After that, it instantly blurred and the direction of the door was no longer facing Xu Qing but himself.

He was poisoned and could only suppress it for a short period of time. Taking out this door wasn’t just to kill Xu Qing. His true thought was to use this door to suppress the poison.

He had used this door once before. At that time, he had used this door to erase the curse he had been planted with.

He gritted his teeth. As the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door moved, the black wooden door instantly opened toward Saintly Star. It was still black inside but in the blink of an eye, a rotting and disgusting tongue quickly stretched out and headed straight for Saintly Star.

Immediately, Saintly Star’s body trembled and his expression was filled with pain. His body rotted from the contact of the tongue. His handsome face seemed to have turned into a zombie and his hair fell off. A stench spread out from his whole body.

However, the results he obtained after paying these prices made him very satisfied.

At this moment, more than half of the poison in his body was instantly dispelled. The remaining poison also seemed to have lost its vitality and was suppressed. However, what shocked him was that the black shadow on the 120th magic aperture was actually safe and sound under the power of the strange door.

Not only that, but it even revealed a small eye and cast a disdainful gaze at him.

“What is this!!!” Saintly Star trembled violently but he didn’t have the time to think. The instant the poison was suppressed, he put the wooden door away and didn’t dare to continue using it. He took out medicinal pills and swallowed them in large mouthfuls before chasing after Xu Qing.

Xu Qing, who was in the distance, suddenly lifted his head. His entire body was in a sorry state but his killing intent was still intense. Although his injuries were very serious earlier, the purple crystal was rapidly healing him. Moreover, he had swallowed many healing pills when he retreated earlier.

At the same time that Saintly Star rushed over, Xu Qing also stomped his right foot fiercely on the ground. As the soil under his feet exploded, Xu Qing’s body rose from the ground and met Saintly Star in the air.

Booming sounds reverberated in the surrounding forbidden region. Countless plants and trees collapsed. The ferocious beasts here also fled immediately. The battle between Xu Qing and Saintly Star was truly earth-shattering.

Even a Golden Core cultivator would be horrified by this battle.

They moved with extremely high speed, and wherever they passed, there would be explosions and destruction.

As they continued to exchange blows, Xu Qing suddenly threw out a crystal. After it exploded, a large amount of black fog spread out. A headless cow rushed out of the fog and slammed toward Saintly Star.

This wasn’t the end. At the next moment, three more crystals were thrown out by Xu Qing and exploded one after another. A ball of distorted black hair, a withered hand, and a white eyeball flew out.

These items of the dead were other than the items Xu Qing had obtained from the pockets of the God of Wealth, Sima Ling. He used all of them in one go. Immediately, the anomalous substances in the surroundings became incomparably dense. Xu Qing gritted his teeth and even threw out a large number of black pills.

As popping sounds rang out, the anomalous substances here instantly erupted. At the same time, they attracted waves of malice from the depths of the forbidden region.

Saintly Star’s expression changed and he immediately retreated. However, the four bizarre entities were like fish in water in these dense anomalous substances. After they appeared, they actually fused together.

...

That withered hand grew on the neck of the cow’s body, and the eye flew over and embedded itself in its palm. The hair covered the cow’s body and in an instant, this chimera of a bizarre entity rushed toward Saintly Star.

Saintly Star was about to dodge.

Resolve appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He waved his hand and took out more than half of Sima Ling’s magic artifacts that controlled those bizarre entities. After throwing them all out, he waved his hand.

In an instant, these magic artifacts exploded, blocking Saintly Star’s escape path, causing him to be unable to dodge. He was directly pounced on by that bizarre entity.

Miemeng let out a cry. However, following Saintly Star’s weakening, it was also injured. It was also being stared at by the Golden Crow; as soon as it moved out, the Golden Crow instantly arrived and the two sides fought again.

Xu Qing also got close. With a wave of his right hand, a dagger appeared in his hand. Taking advantage of Saintly Star’s fatigue, he directly slit his neck.

Saintly Star immediately moved his head and the dagger rapidly passed by. Although he dodged it, the fiendish fire enveloped him. However, Saintly Star was also extraordinary. His life fires spread out and blocked the fiendish fire, but it wasn’t able to stop Xu Qing’s madness.

Xu Qing lifted his head and ruthlessly knocked into Saintly Star.

Saintly Star’s eyes were bloodshot and he actually used his head to collide with Xu Qing’s head.

With a boom, the two of them felt dizzy and were forced back a few steps.

Xu Qing’s cruelty made Saintly Star feel extremely depressed. However, his killing intent didn’t decrease. Today, he had to kill Xu Qing and snatch his lantern.

...

As he retreated, Saintly Star slapped the space between his brows. It was unknown what secret art he used but his right hand actually penetrated the space between his brows and entered his head. He then pulled out a bloody brush!

This brush was very small but when it was pulled out of the head, it instantly grew larger. The tip of the brush was a head. This head looked exactly the same as Saintly Star!

“Brother, I was sleeping. Did you wake me up to play with me?”
