Outside Of Time

492 Death of the Corpse Emperor

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed as he strongly restrained his gaze from looking into the depths of the Corpse Forbidden. He remembered his master’s reminder and swept his gaze across the other periphery ranges of the Corpse Forbidden.

He saw more than ten disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance fleeing in all directions in horror.

A large number of arms of the dead appeared in the surroundings and were moving toward them.

This scene reminded Xu Qing of the news he had heard about the Alliance when he was about to set off for the Sea Corpse Race.

Some disciples had gone missing at the edge of the Corpse Forbidden, so the sect issued a mission to investigate the situation. These people… were the disciples who were investigating.

Xu Qing immediately transmitted his discoveries to the sect through the Taboo. Just as he finished doing this, a drastic change occurred.

The hair behind Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xiaohai suddenly increased and their speed soared as they headed straight for them.

Just as they were about to bind them, Ding Xiaohai’s expression revealed a hint of ferocity. He suddenly sent a palm attack at Zhao Zhongheng.

Although the two of them were both in the Foundation Building realm, Ding Xiaohai had long formed the second life fire.

As for Zhao Zhongheng, he was still a few magic apertures away from forming the second fire. Even though he had been on guard, he didn’t have the qualifications to counterattack or dodge.

In an instant, under Ding Xiaohai’s sudden attack, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The magic ship under him also trembled and cracks appeared, causing it to be unstable. After a pause, the hairs that were chasing after him directly entangled the magic ship.

“Ding Xiaohai!” Zhao Zhongheng let out a furious shout as he stared fixedly at Ding Xiaohai, who didn’t even turn his head and was speeding into the distance after using him as bait.

After the magic ship was entangled by the hair, he could only rush out on his own and abandon the ship to escape. However, his speed was too slow. Gradually, he was bound by more hair and the hands of the dead.

As Zhao Zhongheng felt the intense crisis and despair, he used the protective item his grandfather had given him. However, it wasn’t very useful here.

Even though he cut out a path, he was still quickly entangled.

Ding Xiaohai’s figure in the distance was already blurry. Zhao Zhongheng’s existence had attracted most of the bizarre entities, allowing him to successfully escape danger.

As for Zhao Zhongheng’s shout, he heard it but didn’t care.

This wasn’t the first sect disciple he had killed. As long as he could survive, he didn’t care about the others.

“Spoiled brat, always bossing me around. Who does he think I, Ding Xiaohai, am?!”

“Other than having a good grandfather, he’s useless. Such an idiot won’t be able to live for long in this world. He’s destined to be killed. In that case, he might as well die with some value.”

“My survival is the most important.” Ding Xiaohai was expressionless. He sped up and disappeared into the fog.

However, his lack of understanding caused Ding Xiaohai to have no idea of the true might of the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasure. He also didn’t know that Xu Qing was currently observing this area.

Xu Qing didn’t make any evaluation.

From Ding Xiaohai’s perspective, he was indeed right for doing this in order to survive. It was the same from Zhao Zhongheng’s perspective.

However, from Xu Qing’s standpoint, he disliked Ding Xiaohai even more.

As for Zhao Zhongheng, Xu Qing looked at his despairing expression. He thought about it and sent a divine sense to the ancient bronze mirror’s artifact spirit.

“Send my projection here.”

Almost at the instant Xu Qing transmitted his divine sense, the ancient bronze mirror emitted a buzzing sound. The light on it instantly flickered and an eye suddenly opened.

At the next instant, an intense and piercing light shot out from the ancient bronze mirror, piercing through the void to the edge of the Corpse Forbidden. It pierced through the fog and landed in front of Zhao Zhongheng.

Just as disbelief appeared on Zhao Zhongheng’s face, this light that suddenly appeared in front of him scattered countless specks of dust, turning into light spots that gathered together into Xu Qing’s figure.

“Xu Qing!” Zhao Zhongheng’s eyes widened in ecstasy.

“Save me, Xu Qing, save me!” Zhao Zhongheng’s body was grabbed by a large number of dead hands. His body was still wrapped in black hair and half of his body was at sea. He kept struggling but he was slowly sinking.

Xu Qing sensed the state of his body. This was the first time he had used the projection power of the ancient bronze mirror. In his perception, this body was illusory and there was a considerable difference in strength between it and the main body.

There were no shadow or storage bags. The three Heavenly Palaces in his body were also illusory. The Poison Restriction Pill, the Ghost Emperor Mountain, and the Purple Moon were all gone.

Overall, his strength was only at three ordinary Heavenly Palaces Golden Core realm.

“Looks like the projection ability has flaws.” Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He then waved his right hand.

Immediately, the black seawater in the surroundings rose, transforming into layers of large waves that swept toward Zhao Zhongheng, who was crying for help. Wherever they passed, the dead hands would collapse and the hair that was binding him would instantly shatter.

Although his combat strength was inferior to his main body, with the cultivation of the three Heavenly Palaces, as long as he didn’t step into the depths of the Corpse Forbidden, he could still deal with bizarre entities.

At that moment, as the power of the howling sea spread out, Zhao Zhongheng broke free. His ship that was in the distance was also grabbed by Xu Qing.

The hair that was coiled around it directly broke.

Zhao Zhongheng was horrified by this scene.

He naturally knew that Xu Qing was powerful. However, on one hand, the way Xu Qing appeared today subverted his thoughts. Moreover, he had experienced such a life-and-death situation. Hence, his mind was filled with endless waves.

“Xu…”

“Leave this place first. I’ll go take a look at the other Alliance disciples too.” Xu Qing interrupted Zhao Zhongheng and threw the magic ship to Zhao Zhongheng.

Zhao Zhongheng hurriedly nodded, his eyes revealing intense gratitude. After stepping onto the magic ship, he was about to speak when Xu Qing flicked his sleeve. Immediately, a huge force landed on Zhao Zhongheng’s very ostentatious phoenix magic boat.

Immediately, the magic ship rumbled and sped toward the outer perimeter of the Corpse Forbidden.

Xu Qing’s body swayed and he was about to head to the other areas to take a look. However, at that moment, his expression suddenly changed. He abruptly turned his head and looked into the depths of the fog with a solemn expression.

His body suddenly retreated, wanting to leave.

At that moment, earth-shattering fluctuations were erupting in the direction he looked at earlier. Accompanied by a terrifying aura and mournful roars, Xu Qing could sense that the seawater in the surroundings was churning. Streams of light appeared in the depths of the fog and were spreading in all directions.

Those streams of light contained Dao charms, giving Xu Qing the feeling that they were like threads of Dao marks in the eyes of Nihility cultivators.

“Nihility!”

Xu Qing’s heart sank but he didn’t panic. After all, this was only a projection clone.

However, what made him even more solemn was the miserable laughter coming from the roars in the fog.

“Dead, they’re all dead. They were all eaten…”

“Haha, all eaten. All chewed to pieces.”

The voice contained madness and craziness. It was as though it had experienced a huge stimulation, causing the other party’s mind to fluctuate to the extreme and hence go crazy.

The instant this bitter laugh rang out, the fog exploded outwards and a figure suddenly rushed out while laughing crazily.

This figure wasn’t a human but a nonhuman. His entire body was covered in rotting scales, half of his head was gone, and his body was collapsing. His entire body emitted astonishing anomalous substances.

Wherever he passed, large waves would rise on the surface of the sea. When the rumbling sounds soared into the sky, he collided with the waves.

After he passed through the waves, he laughed bitterly. As though the injuries in his body couldn’t be suppressed, he spat out blood and wailed at the sky.

This scene was reflected in Xu Qing’s eyes. His pupils contracted. His clone couldn’t withstand the pressure of the nonhuman cultivator and was collapsing.

However, at this moment, the crying nonhuman cultivator suddenly turned his head. When he looked at Xu Qing, he lifted his right hand and grabbed at Xu Qing.

In that instant, Xu Qing’s collapsing clone involuntarily flew out and was grabbed by the nonhuman cultivator.

“A clone.”

“They’re all dead. All of them are dead…” The nonhuman cultivator laughed bitterly.

Xu Qing’s expression remained calm. At that moment, half of his body had already dissipated. It wouldn’t be long before he disappeared.

He looked at the nonhuman race with extremely dense anomalous substances all over his body and fell silent.

As for the crazy nonhuman cultivator, he suddenly brought Xu Qing in front of him. His face was almost touching Xu Qing’s when he suddenly spoke.

“Did you see that?”

Xu Qing shook his head.

“Then I’ll let you take a look. After that, you can go out and tell the people outside that He has woken up… The emperor of the Corpse Forbidden is dead!”

When these words entered Xu Qing’s ears, his expression instantly changed. Before he could say anything, the crazy nonhuman used half of his head to ruthlessly slam into Xu Qing’s face.

The instant they collided, the scene formed by a memory directly surged into Xu Qing’s mind.

In the scene was the core of the Corpse Forbidden, the endless bottom of the sea.

That place was originally enveloped in black, but clearly, under the gaze of the nonhuman expert, the bottom of the sea could be seen clearly.

There was a huge bronze door in the deepest depths.

It was unknown how long this door had existed for but it was filled with the feeling of vicissitudes and the passage of time. At the same time, there was a huge figure kneeling in front of the gate.

This figure was formed by countless corpses. Every corpse emitted a terrifying aura. After they were combined, the giant they transformed into gave off even more terrifying energy.

Xu Qing only took a glance and felt that his mind was about to be unable to withstand it. Moreover, this was only the memory scene of the Nihility nonhuman he was looking at.

He also saw a crown formed by purple bones on the giant’s head, emitting an equally astonishing fluctuation. Clearly, it was a supreme treasure.

The bronze door silently opened and a large golden hand slowly stretched out.

It had golden skin and golden bones. Even its blood seemed to be golden. It had seven fingers and bone spikes that looked like barbed hooks!

This large hand slowly stretched out and gradually arrived in front of the giant.

The giant’s entire body trembled and it didn’t dare to dodge or lift its head. In the end, as it trembled, the golden hand moved around its body. After scattering the corpses, it grabbed a piece of black flesh from the giant’s body.

This black flesh emitted extremely dense divine fluctuations.

The large hand grabbed the black piece of meat and slowly returned to the ancient bronze door. Gradually, the sound of chewing rang out.

After that, the giant formed by countless corpses seemed to have lost its soul and support as its body collapsed.

Corpses began to rot and finally transformed into a rotting mountain.

The scene ended here.

Xu Qing’s clone completely collapsed under the intense impact of this scene, turning into countless light spots that were drowned by the black fog that was rolling over.

The nonhuman also laughed bitterly as his body was enveloped by the fog.

After a long time, the sound of chewing rang out from the fog, and it didn’t dissipate for a long time.
