Outside Of Time



The sound of the rattle drum contained poison that filled the air, invading all things.

One could see irregular rings appearing in the void as though it had been corroded.

The wind howled, transforming the poison into black fog that spread in all directions.

The fourth prince stood in this poison mist and coldly looked at Xu Qing. The rattle-drum in his hand continued to shake and the fog churned violently like angry waves. There were also malevolent beast shadows that manifested and let out roars.

Among these beast shadows, some had bodies that were like bottles but were covered in eyes, some with ethereal and elusive hair-like forms, others resembling dragon-turtles with all-over spikes. There were also humanoid figures with flowers blooming at their brows.

And so on and so forth.

Every one of them was a venomous beast. They were already rare in this era, let alone the era Xu Qing was from.

Almost all of them were extinct creatures.

The instant they manifested, the fog erupted again and the poison in it was enhanced multiple times. In the end, it became a mixed poison that could invade all Spirit Repository and rot the secret repository furnace.

It then surged toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's expression didn't change much after seeing this. In fact, he even became calmer about this battle.

This was because he discovered that the fourth prince in front of him didn't seem to be as unfathomable as he thought.

The other party was indeed a heaven's chosen but there was a limit to his strength.

He also possessed the origin of an emperor-level cultivation art. As for this poison path… Xu Qing shook his head slightly.

His eyes were pitch-black as the Poison Restriction in his body fused into his eyes. He calmly glanced at the fog.

With this single glance, the colors of the sky changed, and a turbulent wind swept across the land. The surroundings distorted and the approaching poison fog shockingly dissipated before his eyes.

In this world, it wasn't that there wasn't a poison that could frighten Xu Qing. However, it was obvious that this fourth prince didn't have it.

Xu Qing's Poison Restriction was intrinsically different from poison in the conventional sense. It was a manifestation of anomalous substances, an outbreak of divine curse, and targeted the essence of life.

Compared to it, although the sound wave poison produced by the rattle drum was also strange, it was still not enough in terms of level.

With a single glance, the poison fog dissipated!

The expression of the fourth prince changed for the first time. His hand that was shaking the rattle-drum couldn't help but pause.

At the same time, Xu Qing's gaze penetrated the rapidly thinning poison fog and looked at the fourth prince.

With this glance, all the hairs on the fourth prince's body stood on end and the feeling of life-and-death crisis erupted in his mind. He wasn't ordinary either. Without any hesitation, he retreated and threw out the rattle drum in his hand. He then performed a series of hand seals and pointed.

Immediately, the rattle-drum that could be considered a precious treasure in the outside world shattered and exploded, forming an even denser poison and an even more heart-rending sound. Accompanied by the violent might contained in it, it exploded toward Xu Qing and obstructed him.

It was indeed effective.

Xu Qing could neutralize the poison of this drum but the energy formed by the self-destruction of this treasure ultimately caused him to stop in his tracks.

Using this time, the fourth prince had already retreated 10,000 feet away. When he appeared, his expression was gloomy and solemn. He had to admit that not only were the methods of the person in front of him similar to his but also stronger than his.

Killing intent flashed in the fourth prince's eyes as he decided to stop playing around and end this battle. He raised his right hand, performed a series of hand seals, and pointed toward his brows, with the fingertip suspended three inches above, not making contact.

"Bloodline, Underworld Curse!"

Following his incantation, numerous black lines resembling veins instantly appeared on his skin. Upon closer inspection, these lines were densely and varied in thickness, representing the blood vessels throughout his body.

Among Li Zihua's children, only his fourth prince cultivated it successfully due to special reasons.

This taboo art was called… the Seven Lanterns Underworld Fire Curse!

The reason why it was called a taboo was because not only did this spell increase the user's strength greatly, but its greatest use was the curse!

This was a curse that would definitely kill!

Once the lanterns dimmed, the target would die!

The killing intent in the fourth prince's eyes was intense and he was about to continue speaking.

Xu Qing didn't understand this technique but he didn't like to waste his breath and didn't believe that the other party would say anything useful. At that moment, he sped over, wanting to force the fourth prince to use this trump card as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the fourth prince sneered. Following his will, Xu Qing's figure was reflected in the seven lanterns on his body.

It was as though Xu Qing's spirit was captured by them.

As Xu Qing got closer, one of the seven lanterns on the fourth prince's body instantly dimmed.

When this lantern was extinguished, Xu Qing's internal organs felt intense pain. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body aged. His clothes were covered in dirt and the fire of his life dimmed. As his expression changed, the fourth prince extinguished the second lantern.

Traces of cracks manifested on Xu Qing's body and a large amount of blood flowed out. His hair fell off, his cultivation level decreased sharply, and a feeling of certain death surfaced in Xu Qing's heart.

After that, the third lantern, fourth lantern, fifth lantern… In the blink of an eye, six of the seven lanterns were extinguished.

Xu Qing fell from the sky. When he landed on the ground, his entire body was covered in sweat. Moreover, this sweat contained intense corrosion, melting half of his body.

The indescribable intense pain caused Xu Qing's expression to turn gloomy. The intent of death permeated his entire body, accompanied by an extremely strong stench.

His mind also rose uncontrollably with confusion, anxiety, fear, and various other unpleasant emotions.

The fourth prince looked down from above and serenely spoke.

"Although you have peerless talent, ants are still ants in the end."

With that, he extinguished the last lantern in his body.

As the lights disappeared, the aura on Xu Qing's body suddenly extinguished.

"It's finished."

The fourth prince turned around and was about to leave. However, at the next instant, his expression suddenly changed. He abruptly turned his head and looked at the place where Xu Qing's corpse was. What he witnessed was five life lanterns manifesting there.

The life lanterns were like a sundial and the gnomon needles were pointing in the same direction. At this moment, the needles shifted anti-clockwise, instantly reversing the time on Xu Qing's body.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's body rose into the air. All the death curses on his body directly dissipated and his melted body instantly recovered. When he arrived at the place he had been in the air, he was completely unscathed!

It was his life lantern Sundial's divine ability!

"You!" Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, the pupils of the fourth prince contracted and great waves stirred in his heart.

"You have a ruler's bloodline?"

Xu Qing took a deep breath and stared at the enemy in front of him. At that moment earlier, he had experienced death. If it wasn't for the fact that he had used the Sundials' divine ability at the last moment, he would have died.

The process of his death allowed him to have a more detailed understanding of this seven lanterns spell.

"This spell is very good, very good…"

Xu Qing licked his lips and articulated softly.

As he spoke, morning glow erupted from his body. Rainbow light dispersed out and enveloped the surroundings. At the same time, this light was speedily changing. There seemed to be seven dark fire lanterns vaguely forming inside.

He was simulating!

With the morning glow's ability to imitate all techniques and spells, he was simulating the Seven Lanterns Underworld Fire Curse!
