Outside Of Time

Chapter 1262 Mountains And Seas Region

Being vigilant, Xu Qing didn't speed through the sky. Instead, he moved forward in the rainforest, using the environment of the rainforest to hide his tracks.

He also released the Diamond Sect's ancestor to scout the way.

Just like that, five days passed.

In these five days, he saw some other participants. Xu Qing remembered some of them challenging him before.

However, he wasn't in the mood to care too much. Before the other party noticed, he had already left.

He encountered many ferocious beasts in this jungle, whether perched on tree branches or hidden in the mud, they were countless.

There were also some bizarre creatures. For example, a mountain suddenly trembled and rose from the ground, turning into a giant with a large number of arms. It strode past Xu Qing.

There were suns with legs, running hand in hand.

There were even centipedes singing songs, and mushrooms bouncing along after seeing Xu Qing.

There were also strange creatures that looked like trees, but were actually noses sleeping within the earth.

Even the wind, when it emerged, made Xu Qing's eyes widen in realization. The wind… though seemingly invisible, was substantial, just transparent.

If it wasn't for Xu Qing's sharp perception, he might have directly collided with it.

There were also many other eerie and bizarre creatures, such as flying skulls, walking skeletons, and the chilling songs left in their wake.

Some had form, and some were intangible.

Xu Qing felt that this Mountains and Seas Region was like a different world. The abilities and appearances of the ferocious beasts here subverted his understanding.

There were giant headless beasts, flowing hair dancing in the mud, and ruined temples exuding a dangerous aura, as well as faceless skeletal figures carrying stone tablets on their backs.

At this moment, Xu Qing leaped over a sea of flowers within the rainforest.

This colorful sea of flowers moved across the ground, forming waves that engulfed and consumed everything in their path—every plant, every creature, all becoming part of the flower sea.

Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that this so-called flower sea was actually comprised of colorful toads. Each jump they made created ripples and waves.

But the most terrifying aspect of this flower sea was its core—a damaged statue carried by countless toads.

The statue depicted a bare-chested male figure with four heads, all of them closed-eyed. One hand cradled a baby to its chest, while the other rested on its chin.

Waves of soft snoring spread out as the flower sea moved.

As for its broken parts, it only had half of its torso, and each of the four heads had some degree of damage, particularly the baby cradled in its arm.

Xu Qing observed from afar, his heart skipping a beat. This was the seventeenth statue he had seen in the past five days, each one different but giving him the same sense of danger.

It was the same as those broken halls of the Divine Palace.

These statues were also damaged and none of them were intact. There were even some that looked like they had been cut into pieces.

The one in front of him could be considered well-preserved.

"What exactly happened in the Mountains and Seas Region many years ago…"

"So many temples, so many damaged statues…"

A strange feeling rose in Xu Qing's heart. He circled around the sea of flowers and pondered as he moved in the predetermined direction. However, after he sped for another fifteen minutes, Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed. He retreated abruptly and quickly rose into the air.

Almost at the instant he left his original location, the void in the area he was in earlier exploded, revealing a huge black hole.

It wasn't that this black hole suddenly appeared for no reason. The reason for its formation came from the ground.

In the rainforest and in the swamp, there was a broken statue of a god that was 100,000 feet long lying there. Its body was shattered and incomplete, but its head remained relatively intact, especially the area around the mouth, which showed no signs of damage.

Moreover, it was breathing.

Every time it breathed, a black hole would appear in the air.

At the same time, it also emitted a deterrence from the level of life.

Even though Xu Qing's cultivation was extraordinary and his combat strength was astonishing, coupled with the fact that he had the god form, he was still shaken by this aura and had no choice but to circle around it.

At the same time, the trembling voice of the god's finger rang out from D132's body.

"Here… here…"

Xu Qing's heart stirred.

"Continue."

The god's finger trembled as It spoke in a low voice.

"Gods have died here before. Not just a few gods, but many gods… Heavens, why didn't I know about this? I've never heard of it."

"Is it possible that when your original form descended, you were always in a state of slumber, and later when you split apart, you were still suppressed and asleep…"

The Diamond Sect's ancestor flew over from afar and transmitted his divine sense.

The god's finger fell silent. It wanted to say something but It knew that the other party's status in Xu Qing's heart was probably higher than It. Hence, It scoffed inwardly, but didn't refute.

Xu Qing didn't care about the Diamond Sect's ancestor's words. He recalled the broken statues he had seen on the way and looked at this rainforest. His eyes slowly narrowed as he took a deep breath.

The air here seemed normal but for Xu Qing, who was well-

versed in pharmacology, he still caught a faint scent of blood inside.

It came from the silt, from plants, from rocks, from the world…

It was as though everything in this world was emitting a bloody stench.

"There has been a great battle… and many gods have died. So, who were the gods' opponents?"

Xu Qing only knew one side of the story. He didn't know the details, so he lacked clues to form an answer.

He swept his gaze across the huge statue on the ground and circled around it. Just as he was about to speed up, a whistling sound rang out from the distant horizon, and seven to eight rainbows appeared. Just like Xu Qing, they intended to circle around the huge statue.

Hence, they saw Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also saw them clearly.

Among these seven to eight people, there was the Flame Moon Race and other affiliated races. There was also a Si'e Race member among them. Clearly, they were a temporary team.

After seeing Xu Qing clearly, the expressions of these seven or eight individuals changed instantly. Instinctively, they backed away, maintaining silence for a few breaths. The leading Flame Moon cultivator bowed to Xu Qing from a distance before swiftly changing direction and flying away.

The hearts of the followers behind him also trembled and they bowed one after another. The gaze of the Si'e Race member flickered for a moment before he quickly lowered his head and chose to greet Xu Qing like the others.

They had seen Xu Qing's battle outside the holy city previously, and it had caused huge waves in their hearts. Hence, when they encountered him now, they didn't dare to get close.

Xu Qing's cold gaze swept over. When he sensed that the other side hadn't obtained any mutated beasts, he wasn't interested in attacking. His body swayed and he left for his destination.

Sensing that Xu Qing had disappeared, this group of cultivators who were rapidly moving away heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and noticed the hesitation in their expressions.

However, the Si'e Race cultivator didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took out a voice transmission jade slip and was about to transmit his voice.

However, the instant he grabbed the voice transmission jade slip, a cold voice rang out from the void beside him.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as this voice rang out, the expressions of the seven to eight cultivators changed drastically, especially the Si'e Race cultivator. He gasped and instinctively wanted to transmit his voice into the jade slip, but it was too late.

A hand stretched out from beside him and grabbed his palm. With a slight squeeze, it crushed his hand and the jade slip inside, mixing flesh, blood, and jade fragments together.

The heart-rending scream brought about by the intense pain rang out from the mouth of the Si'e Race cultivator. Xu Qing, who was in his god form, walked out of the void and strangled the Si'e Race cultivator's neck.

The hearts of the other cultivators in the surroundings trembled and they immediately retreated. However, they couldn't retreat too far. The blood tentacles that spread out from Xu Qing's body had already landed in front of them one by one.

It was as though if they traveled even a little, their foreheads would be instantly penetrated.

They stopped and looked at Xu Qing in horror.

"When others see me, it's understandable for them to bow. However, it's a little strange for you, a Si'e Race cultivator, to bow to me… Also, there's something wrong with your gaze, and I remember you challenging me before."

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

Xu Qing was meticulous. Although he had left earlier, this small suspicious point still made him vigilant. Hence, he returned to take a look.

In the end, he saw the scene of the other party wanting to transmit his voice.

"Tell me, who were you going to send the information to?" Xu Qing calmly spoke.

Panic appeared in the eyes of the Si'e Race cultivator. Just as he was about to speak, the cultivator from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven suddenly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, let me tell you!"

"Ji Dongzi spread the news five days ago to search for your traces, and transmit your location if anyone sees you…"

"This practitioner of the Si'e Race must be trying to inform Ji Dongzi."

'This cultivator from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven was a smart person. He didn't want to be implicated by this Si'e Race cultivator who had a death wish. He additionally knew that Xu Qing was decisive in killing. Hence, he understood that if that Si'e Race cultivator took the initiative to answer, his life and death would be decided by Xu Qing's thought.

If he said it first, the possibility of survival would increase greatly.

The other cultivators also reacted and spoke one after another.

Xu Qing glanced at the practitioner in his hand. Noticing the other party's panicked aura, he had an answer. He clenched his hand and with a cracking sound, the cultivator's body and spirit were destroyed.

At the same time, the hearts of the others additionally trembled. They all fell silent and looked at Xu Qing in fear.

Xu Qing's gaze swept past them. He then released the Poison Restriction and planted it into them.

These few people sensed it and their faces turned pale.

"Come and find me to detoxify the poison after the second segment ends."

Xu Qing calmly spoke. With a sway of his body, he disappeared without a trace.

All the cultivators, including the practitioner from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, fell silent. However, they had no choice but to leave bitterly.

After they had traveled far away, Xu Qing appeared again. He then frowned.

"Ji Dongzi?"
