Outside Of Time Chapter 1283: The Last One

Chapter 1283 - 1283: The Last One

The aftermath of the sky resembled ripples, expanding in all directions along with the mist, lingering for a long time without dispersing.

From afar, these ripples resembled fish scales, as if there was a gigantic fish caught between reality and illusion, swimming slowly in the void, with the sky as its water and the void as its boundary.

It gave off an incredibly shocking feeling.

Before this illusory giant fish, a figure sat cross-legged, with long hair fluttering, exuding an aura of ancientness, becoming the focus of this world.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and remained motionless.

Outside his body, the blurry figure of the half-ancestral magus also gradually fused into the sky. As the large fish swam, it seemed to be leaving.

The ground was silent. All the cultivators here felt their hearts churning intensely and were filled with endless horror.

They had personally witnessed this battle and the death of the second ranked of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Ji Dongzi!

Tremors of apprehension spread uncontrollably throughout their bodies.

From the moment Xu Qing appeared, the ghostly carriages knelt, and the rainforest dispersed on its own—they knew of Xu Qing’s strength. But no matter what, in their minds, Ji Dongzi was still the stronger side.

However, in the battle, from the start to the end, all of Ji Dongzi’s methods were useless against Xu Qing.

He had been suppressed all this time, and it even gave people the illusion that Ji Dongzi seemed to have become weaker than before.

However, an illusion was ultimately an illusion.

Ji Dongzi wasn’t weak at all. The reason why people felt this way was because his opponent was too strong!

Although Ji Dongzi’s defeat shocked everyone, the commotion in their hearts was still limited. It was impossible for it to be like now, causing them to be incomparably shaken.

What truly shook them was the thin gray fog that was dissipating around Xu Qing and the blurry figure that was about to disappear behind him!

This was the source of the monstrous waves in their hearts.

Because they recognized that this gray fog came from Jiuli.

As for that figure, they didn’t know him but the bloodline connection they felt revealed an indescribable familiarity, as though… it was the source.

The instant this feeling became intense, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the magus mark on his forehead suddenly shone. The presence of the half-ancestral magus behind him became even more intense.

The instinctive sense of reverence that came from their bloodlines and souls caused the bodies of all the cultivators here to tremble.

It was the same for Fan s.h.i.+shuang and Tian Mozi.

Those ghost carriages that were already prostrating let out wails that sounded like they were crying.

Their sounds rang out in all directions, causing the world to be filled with indescribable mourning, dyeing everyone’s emotions. This caused intense sorrow to rise in their hearts as they looked at that figure.

It was a cry that came from their souls and bloodlines.

Under this intent, some of the cultivators on the ground directly knelt down and bowed to Xu Qing and the figure behind him.

Tian Mozi was the same. The others also followed.

Finally, it was Fan s.h.i.+shuang. Even he lowered his head under the waves of uncontrollable throbbing in his heart, making him wors.h.i.+p and revere.

In front of Xu Qing, the three ancient ghost carriages that emitted the fluctuations of the Soul Acc.u.mulation also appeared. They no longer had the scrutiny from before and lowered their heads even lower toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at all of this. He finally understood why there was a saying in the legends about the Jiuli that the people who owned the Jiuli would be wors.h.i.+ped by all races in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven.

This was because that was the source of the bloodline.

“Unfortunately, I’ve only fused half of it.”

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly and sensed his fifth magus repository.

At this moment, the 95 divine tablets were buried on the ground forged from his flesh and blood. They were enveloped by flesh and blood, permeated by gray fog, and were corroding.

In the sky of the magus repository and above the nine mountains, the originally empty void now had a colossus.

It was the figure of the half-ancestral magus.

He sat cross-legged and floated in the s.p.a.ce. His entire body emitted an earth-shattering vast aura. Moreover, he clearly had life and was actually breathing.

With each inhalation, there would be a sensation of contraction in the magus repository, and wisps of golden smoke would emanate from the 95 divine tablets buried in the fleshy land, shooting towards the sky, to be swallowed by him.

They were like nutrients, providing all the needs for the fusion of this magus repository.

After that, as the figure of the ancestral magus exhaled, the magus repository would tremble intensely and show signs of expanding.

All of this seemed to have formed a cycle.

The magus repository seemed to have come alive with the arrival of the divine tablets and the appearance of the ancestral magus!

Xu Qing’s gaze stared at everything. Finally, his gaze landed on the figure of the half-ancestral magus and antic.i.p.ation rose in his heart.

After a long time, he retracted his gaze and stood up amidst the wors.h.i.+p from the surroundings.

The moment he stood up, an energy fluctuation spread out from afar. Waves of teleportation intent also spread out with the fluctuations. This fluctuation and teleportation intent came from the entire Mountains and Seas Region.

That was a sign that the second segment was about to end.

Xu Qing’s expression changed. After some thought, he headed toward the horizon.

When he completely disappeared into the distance, the rainforest recovered, the ghost carriages no longer wailed and returned inside.

As for those cultivators, all of them rushed out with pale faces. The aftershocks in their hearts echoed with complexity and shock. They didn’t stay here and left one after another.

They had to hurry up and obtain their mounts.

This was because the fluctuations from the Mountains and Seas Region earlier allowed them to understand that the second segment of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race’s Grand Hunt was almost coming to an end.

The last to leave were Tian Mozi and Fan s.h.i.+shuang.

The two of them looked at each other. Tian Mozi lifted his chin and a.s.sumed a calm posture as he walked away with his hands behind his back.

In the end, only Fan s.h.i.+shuang stood in the air.

“Jiuli… has appeared…”

“Since ancient times, there has never been…”

After a while, Fan s.h.i.+shuang took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his eyes before turning to leave.

Time slowly pa.s.sed just like that. When there were still two days before the end of the second segment, Xu Qing’s figure appeared in an unfamiliar place.

This place was known as the Shanchi Forest.

It was also the place Xu Qing and the captain had agreed on.

Standing in the air, Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the dense forest ahead.

Here, he sensed the captain’s aura but he didn’t see him. Even when he transmitted his voice through the jade slip, there was no response.

“There are traces of a battle…”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and walked into the dense forest. As he walked, all the vegetation in front of him bent down and took the initiative to open a path.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever as he walked. A while later, he stopped in his tracks and looked at a tree beside him.

That tree emitted a cold air that contained the aura of being affected by the cold.

“Eldest Senior Brother’s cold air.”

Xu Qing walked over and stared at it for a while. He simply lifted his hand and pressed it down. The aura of the Jiuli in his body suddenly spread out, enveloping the surroundings with his divine consciousness.

“Open your memories.”

At the next instant, the memories of all the vegetation in this dense forest transformed into threads that weaved together, forming a net of memories. After they overlapped, a scene appeared in Xu Qing’s mind.

On the screen, he saw the captain’s speeding figure and the person chasing him.

He also saw the two of them fighting in the dense forest, as well as some of their respective methods.

In the end, the captain left this dense forest. The cultivator who was chasing after him emitted baleful aura and persistence as he continued to give chase.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, his heart calm.

He wasn’t actually worried about the captain.

Even though he had already recognized that the person chasing after the captain was the first ranked great heaven’s chosen of the Flame Moon, Flame Mystic.

However…

“Eldest Senior Brother has been entangled with this person for so long here but that person still hasn’t been killed, it seems like he can’t be killed.”

“Moreover, judging from Flame Mystic’s expression which shows that he hates

Eldest Senior Brother to the bone, he should have suffered a huge loss.”

Xu Qing fell silent. He calculated the time and knew that it was almost time for this segment to end.

In the past few days, he could sense that the array formation in the entire Mountains and Seas Region was showing signs of activating. From time to time, energy fluctuations would spread.

“Two days at most.”

Xu Qing mumbled.

According to his understanding of the second segment before he came, he understood that once the teleportation was activated, all the partic.i.p.ants here would be instantly teleported back outside the Divine Mountain.

“Since the captain had a way to be teleported in with the partic.i.p.ants, he must have a way to be teleported out as well, so he will also exit in a few days.”

Xu Qing felt at ease.

However, considering his friends.h.i.+p with the captain, Xu Qing felt that he could go and look for him in these two days.

Hence, he walked into the air and searched ahead.

Once the traces of the captain’s aura disappeared, he would spread out his divine consciousness and rely on Jiuli’s aura to sense the memories of the vegetation. After finding a new direction, he continued walking.

Unfortunately, the time he had left was ultimately limited. Xu Qing searched for traces but still couldn’t find them after two days.

During these two days, the teleportation fluctuations from the Mountains and Seas Region became more and more frequent. There was even a time when Xu Qing saw a Flame Moon cultivator speeding on the horizon from afar and his body instantly disappeared and he was teleported away.

“It’s starting.”

Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and sensed this Mountains and Seas Region. He found a mountain peak and sat there, waiting to be teleported out.

As time pa.s.sed bit by bit, a rumbling sound echoed in the world of the Mountains and Seas Region. The sound was deafening and spread in all directions like the furious roar of a G.o.d.

The ripples of teleportation also spread out formlessly in the Mountains and Seas Region, sweeping through the world like waves.

The first to be teleported away were cultivators who didn’t obtain a mount. After that, teleportation was carried out according to the strength of the mounts.

If one were to look at the entire Mountains and Seas Region from high above, one would be able to see the figures of cultivators flickering with teleportation light and disappearing one after another. Only one person remained no matter how the huge teleportation wave swept over him!

As the partic.i.p.ants in the entire Mountains and Seas Region continued to disappear, this figure was still not affected at all.

Several hours later, only this person was left in the entire Mountains and Seas Region.

Xu Qing frowned and looked at the sky.

The world rumbled. Because he was the only one in the vast Mountains and Seas Region, all the teleportation fluctuations erupted in the area he was in. In fact, because the teleportation fluctuations kept gathering in the sky, they formed a huge vortex like a black hole.

They spun violently.

However, no matter how it guided, the teleportation intent didn’t form on Xu Qing’s body, so he couldn’t be teleported out.

This phenomenon surprised Xu Qing.

“Since I can’t be teleported out, I’ll walk in myself!”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and stood up.. He then took a step toward the vortex in the sky!
