Outside of Time [Webnovel]

836 In Contest With Heaven, There Is No Day of Exchange (3)

Xu Qing smiled. In this unfamiliar world, what he had seen these few days was darkness. However, with Ling’er accompanying him, he didn’t feel lonely.

Hence, after nodding, Xu Qing arranged everything. His eyes revealed anticipation as he headed straight for the surface of the sea below.

He instantly landed and flames rose around him. The purple crystal in Xu Qing’s body trembled.

As Xu Qing opened his mouth and inhaled, the surrounding flames headed straight for his mouth. After Xu Qing swallowed them, he thought about it and lifted his hand to touch the surface of the magma.

The temperature was very high.

However, his hand was fine.

“My body should be able to withstand it.” When Xu Qing thought of this, he directly sank into the magma.

When more than half of his body had submerged in the magma, Xu Qing took a deep breath. He could sense extreme heat enveloping his body. That burning sensation formed a piercing pain.

While being vigilant of his surroundings, he opened his mouth and continued to absorb the flames in the surroundings.

Very soon, under the continuous absorption, the purple crystal in his body shone with six beams of light, completely illuminating Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

Under this light, the life fog became less blurry. The five life lanterns inside became clearer.

Xu Qing’s heart was filled with anticipation. Although he couldn’t control the direction of the light formed by the purple crystal, as long as it was reflected in the life fog from his sea of consciousness, the first thing to be illuminated would definitely be the large black umbrella life lantern.

This life lantern that he had obtained from the temple on the Merfolk Island back then showed signs of melting again under the reflection of the six beams of light.

A tip of the umbrella frame was no longer sharp. It gradually became round and irregular, until it finally turned into a droplet of liquid and fell.

When this droplet of liquid smashed into the sea of consciousness, it was like heavenly lightning rumbling in Xu Qing’s mind.

As his body trembled, wisps of strange substances from the life lantern scattered in his sea of consciousness and fused into his bloodline.

Everything was exactly the same as what Xu Qing had verified previously.

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed. He took a deep breath and absorbed more flames, forming six beams of purple light again and continuing to refine his life lantern.

Two hours later, the second drop of liquid dripped from the umbrella life lantern. During this process, the nascent soul formed by the life lantern also manifested. As the life lantern melted, the nascent soul began to blur.

Xu Qing immediately stopped and observed carefully.

Until he was certain that his nascent soul hadn’t been damaged but had instead merged with the melted life lantern, relieving himself of the tension, Xu Qing continued his process.

Three days passed.

Under the abundant flames, as Xu Qing continued to melt the life lantern, 30% of the large black umbrella gradually melted.

At that moment, it no longer looked like a life lantern but a broken umbrella.

The density of the strange substance that formed the life lantern in his bloodline also increased correspondingly.

Xu Qing had a strong feeling that when the concentration reached a certain level, there was a high chance that he would be able to mold a life lantern that completely belonged to him.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing’s breathing hastened slightly. However, he still restrained himself and continued to absorb the flames. He then got up and quickly left this place.

After flying for a day, he changed to another location and sank into the magma again to absorb the flames.

Being in an unfamiliar environment, the vigilance and caution in Xu Qing’s personality seemed to have returned to when he first entered the Seven Blood Eyes.

He knew that he couldn’t stay in one place for too long. If he did that, the danger level would increase.

After changing his location, Xu Qing first checked his surroundings to confirm that there was nothing wrong here.

“It’s a pity that this sea of fire isn’t suitable for setting up array formations. Otherwise, it would be much simpler.”

Xu Qing mumbled. After some thought, his body slowly turned blurry and transformed into the translucent state of the Bizarre Fiend Race.

Using this method, he hid himself and then absorbed the surrounding flames.

Under the continuous illumination of the beams of light from the purple crystal, the deformed black umbrella life lantern melted again. However, the closer it was to the end, the slower the melting speed of the life lantern.

This was especially so for the location of the lantern stand.

Hence, three days later, when Xu Qing changed his location again, the life lantern had only melted by 50%.

“It’s alright, there’s enough time!”

Xu Qing wasn’t in a hurry and continued to maintain his rhythm. He didn’t stay anywhere for more than three days and changed his location again and again to absorb it.

Just like that, his large black umbrella life lantern gradually increased from 50% melted to 60%, 70%, 80%…

During this time, some red crystals also formed on his body. Every time they formed, he would immediately keep them.

Xu Qing wasn’t sure what this item was but it wasn’t good to expose them..

His caution wasn’t useless.

“High-grade heavenly fire crystal!!”

On the Heavenly Fire Sea, a team of Mirror Image Race cultivators was speeding through the air.

They were different from their clansmen Xu Qing had seen before. Their bodies weren’t mirror bodies but had physical bodies. However, their appearances were inconsistent and their bodies came from various races.

And between each of their brows, there was a diamond-shaped mirror fragment. It was red in color and didn’t have any cracks or stains. It looked transparent.

They were descendants of the nobility of the Mirror Image Race. Their bloodline far surpassed that of ordinary clansmen. Moreover, they had enslaved nonhumans and made them their puppet bodies.

The person in the lead was a mirror image cultivator with three pairs of wings on his back. His entire body was covered in pitch-black scales and he held a compass in his right hand. There was a location marked on it that shone with a resplendent red light.

“My luck isn’t bad today. I actually found a high-grade heavenly fire crystal!”

“Most of these high-grade heavenly fire crystals are hidden at the bottom of the sea. Occasionally, a few will surge out as the magma flowers explode, but there aren’t many of them.”
