837 In Contest With Heaven, There Is No Day of Exchange (4)

“Let’s go quickly. If we’re too late and the other parties find it, we’ll have to fight again.”

These Mirror Image Race cultivators spoke in low voices with excited expressions as they sped up.

However, at the next instant, their expressions changed. The red dot on the compa.s.s in the leader’s hand disappeared.

“d.a.m.n it, someone took it away!”

“Let’s see who s.n.a.t.c.hed this crystal!”

Similar things didn’t happen only to them. At that moment, there were some cultivators on the other side of the sea who were investigating this. There were even some who sensed it more than once.

“It will appear every two to three days and disappear instantly every time it appears.”

“Then how did the cultivator who obtained the heavenly fire crystal find and take it away so quickly?”

Further away, the cultivators from the Heavenly Mask Race also used the compa.s.s to sense this scene. Outsiders didn’t know the meaning of high-grade heavenly fire crystals, but they, who were here all year round, couldn’t be any more clear about their value.

“There must be a reason why such sacrificial items appeared one after another in such a short period of time!”

“Go and invite the state preceptor over. His compa.s.s can locate things more accurately and even penetrate fire warding barriers to a certain extent!”

While a storm was rising in the outside world, Xu Qing was wholeheartedly melting the life lantern in his body. At that moment, his black umbrella life lantern had already melted to more than 90%. It was only a little away from completely melting.

“At most a day!”

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes as he surveyed his surroundings. Although he didn’t know about the commotion in the outside world, the mosasaur had sent him many warnings these few days. This caused Xu Qing to be even more vigilant.

Hence, he lowered his head and looked at the magma that drowned his chest. He gritted his teeth and sent Ling’er into his Mosasaur Heavenly Palace. After that, he sank into the magma.

In an instant, magma covered the surroundings and everything was normal.

Xu Qing’s aura was also erased by the magma.

However, he couldn’t sink too deep. At most, he could sink to a depth of five feet. Amidst the indescribable heat that permeated his entire body, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and sped through the magma.

This would completely dissipate his aura and traces.

Only when he was far away from his previous location and his body had reached its limit did he sit cross-legged again and start absorbing the fire.

At the next instant, endless flames surged into Xu Qing’s body. The purple crystal trembled slightly and emitted even more light.

Time slowly pa.s.sed.

20 hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Xu Qing’s black umbrella life lantern emitted the sound of shattering. The remaining residue finally transformed into a drop of turbid liquid that dripped into Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

With a boom, the water droplet exploded, leaving behind lingering sounds.

The black umbrella life lantern completely dissolved after nearly a month.

The lingering sound stirred up endless ripples. It also blew into the sky, attracting surging heavenly lightning that rumbled and erupted.

At that moment, a strong tremor shook through Xu Qing’s body uncontrollably. Inside the magma, his eyes snapped open, fearless of the scorching heat. A rapidly expanding mist clouded his vision, twisting and s.h.i.+fting, protecting him from the intrusion of the magma.

At that moment, the density of the mysterious substance that formed the life lantern in his bloodline had reached the extreme.

As the heavenly lightning continued to rumble and the magma around Xu Qing churned, a huge vortex appeared above the sea of fire with Xu Qing as the center.

The surroundings distorted. The speed of the vortex was clearly extremely fast, but it was as though it didn’t notice the sea of fire outside the range of 10,000 feet, everything outside that range was normal.

Only within 10,000 feet, the time seemed to be different.

As the vortex spun with extreme speeds, Xu Qing sat cross-legged inside. His body shone with a flickering light and an aura of life was forming and erupting on his body.

An even greater storm happened in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness, where the large black umbrella life lantern had disappeared.

Numerous purple threads spread out from Xu Qing’s body and gathered there.

As the threads continued to fuse, a new life lantern was forming.

This life lantern completely used Xu Qing’s bloodline as its source. It was unique in this world!

The appearance of the life lanterns of any ancient sovereign and ruler was just like this.

Since ancient times, those who could achieve the level of ruler after the G.o.d’s fragmented-face arrived were extremely rare in the entire w.a.n.ggu Continent.

Hence, it was the same for the appearance of a new life lantern.

However, at this moment, such a life lantern that had never appeared in the world was being born!

The first to appear was a purple circular jade disc, tilted and standing upright, with twenty four hour time divisions marked around it. Each division was covered in numerous runes, giving the purple jade disc a complex and mysterious appearance.

In the center, under the convergence of the purple threads from Xu Qing’s entire body, it gradually formed a gnomon needle!!

There was also a ball of light that floated up with the gnomon as the center, spinning around it.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the person sitting cross-legged inside was Xu Qing’s nascent soul!

The light he emitted landed on the gnomon and formed a needle-like shadow that was slowly moving!

This was… a sundial!

Xu Qing’s life lantern!

The purple jade served as a disc and the azure gold gnomon served as a needle.

The lights circled the sky and casted shadows of time.

As the gnomon’s movement advanced, the light and shadow remained eternal. In the contest against heaven, there was no day to exchange!
