Outside Of Time - Chapter 299

299 Blood Path

In the sky, Lord Sixth was laughing.

However, this laughter carried a heart-wrenching sadness, indescribable sorrow, and also the madness that had been suppressed for many years.

Under Lord Sixth’s attack, the Starfish Race’s ancestor’s body collapsed many times.

Although this Starfish Race’s ancestor’s divine power was strange and his body could actually regenerate after collapsing time and time again, it was also this regeneration that made Lord Sixth even more crazy in his attacks.

Clearly, the more pain his enemy felt and the more the enemy wailed, the more killing intent he felt.

!!
He sliced the Starfish Race’s ancestor alive. Flesh and blood scattered down and were burned into ashes by the blue flames.

However, it was not enough to resolve the hatred in his heart.

On the ground, Xu Qing’s eyes were completely red.

He also went crazy from killing.

From the place he landed to the Starfish Race’s ancestral temple, all the Starfish Race members he encountered couldn’t escape death!!

Xu Qing lifted his right hand and a fiendish fire dagger instantly formed. He took a step forward and arrived in front of a Starfish Race cultivator, ruthlessly slitting his neck.

As his head flew up, Xu Qing walked in front of another Starfish Race cultivator.

He stabbed the cultivator’s chest again and again. Finally, he threw the dagger to the side, landing on the neck of the third Starfish Race member. After it pierced through, Xu Qing caught the dagger and slashed.

Immediately, the head fell off. Among the fallen corpses, Xu Qing once again saw the broken thread-like worms.

There were many of these small worms. Some were entangled together, while others were alone. They looked very strange.

Almost every Starfish Race cultivator’s body contained it. Xu Qing had seen too many of them on his way here. There were even a few that tried to enter his body.

However, these worms couldn’t break the defense of his powerful body and were burned by the black flames.

However, these worms had tenacious vitality. The flames only caused them to contract and distort but couldn’t burn them to death immediately.

In the end, the Golden Crow devoured them and completely killed them.

Xu Qing also realized that other than being strange, these worms seemed to be able to affect the will and soul of the Starfish Race cultivators. This was because he had clearly seen these insects flash past the eyes of the Starfish Race cultivators a few times.

Every time they appeared in their eyes, the Starfish Race cultivators would go crazy and rush over fearlessly.

At the same time, Xu Qing sensed that the souls he devoured were incomplete as though they had been mostly devoured before this.

Even the origin power gained from them was the same. Although the Golden Crow had absorbed some of their origin power, it wasn’t much.

It was as though the entire Starfish Race looked normal on the surface but in reality, most of their internal substances had been devoured by some kind of power.

“Lord Sixth is right. There is indeed a great secret behind the changes in the Starfish Race.” Xu Qing thought of Lord Sixth’s words but this wasn’t important to him at this moment.

Xu Qing’s body swayed and the Golden Crow behind him rushed out, enveloping the six Starfish cultivators who charged at him. At the same time, the black iron stick pierced through the bodies of one cultivator after another in the distance.

Every time it pierced through, it would emit lightning that destroyed all life force.

As for the shadow, it was the same. In the area it covered, many of the Starfish Race’s cultivators’ shadows had eyes that opened and were devouring crazily. Many times, before it finished devouring, the enemies would be killed by Xu Qing and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor.

However, it didn’t give up. In the end, there were still people it successfully controlled. The people it controlled would rush toward other Starfish Race members while laughing, and self-destruct.

However, these… weren’t Xu Qing’s sharpest cards in killing. What truly shocked the captain who was following behind was the black fog around Xu Qing.

The black fog formed by the little black bugs spread out around Xu Qing. Wherever they passed, everything would be devoured. Regardless of whether it was the coral trees or the Starfish Race cultivators, as long as they were touched by the black fog, they would be crazily torn and devoured.

All kinds of mournful cries continuously came out from the black fog. Even those thread-like worms were food for the little black bugs. However, they were not able to devour the worms smoothly and required a lot of effort.

No matter what, the accumulated depression in Xu Qing’s heart was completely released on the battlefield. He continued forward and killed all the way. In the end, when he finally arrived at the Starfish Race’s ancestral temple, his entire body was covered in blood and there were countless corpses behind him.

Outside the ancestral temple, four figures sat cross-legged.

These four figures slowly lifted their heads, revealing faces that were covered in veins. They were also from the Starfish Race but there were some differences. Firstly, their auras. The auras of these four people surpassed three fires, but didn’t seem to have reached four fires.

Next was the veins on their faces. These veins were all squirming, and looked like worms swimming around.

The moment they looked at Xu Qing, Xu Qing saw a middle-aged cultivator sitting in front of a pill furnace in the ancestral temple and refining pills.

This middle-aged cultivator wore a green robe that was embroidered with golden threads, forming a complicated pattern and there was an item that looked like an emperor’s crown on his head.

The fluctuations of the Golden Core cultivation base was constantly spreading from his body. There was a mark of a starfish between his brows.

This middle-aged cultivator’s expression was dignified. Even though there was a crazed slaughter going on outside and the race was facing calamity, he didn’t seem to be moved. He continued to refine pills.

It was as though to him, even if the entire race was gone, it wasn’t a big deal. As long as the medicinal pills in this pill furnace were refined, it would be fine.

He was the patriarch of the Starfish Race and the son of the Starfish Race’s ancestor who was in an extremely miserable state in the air.

Almost at the instant Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the Starfish Race’s patriarch and the killing intent in his heart soared, the four Starfish Race cultivators outside the ancestral temple stood up one after another.

Their eyes were cold and without emotions. White threads as thick as chopsticks were swimming in their pupils.

They immediately entered Mystic Brilliance Form with the combat strength of three fires as they headed straight for Xu Qing from different directions.

The instant they got close, huge sarcomas bulged out from their backs and transformed into starfish. It seemed to have stimulated their bodies, causing the four of them to let out low roars in unison and punch out at Xu Qing!

The instant these punches were thrown, the surroundings distorted from their might.

Xu Qing didn’t dodge. He stood on the spot and closed his eyes. At the next instant, the Golden Crow behind him let out a cry and bent down to envelop Xu Qing’s body. Its black feathers transformed into a black emperor’s robe, and the flames of its tail transformed into a cloak. When it lifted its head, it was as though it was putting the emperor’s crown on Xu Qing.

The violent intent coupled with a domineering aura caused Xu Qing to appear like a young emperor at this moment. His eyes opened.

The four Starfish Race members around him all trembled violently. Their punches couldn’t shake the Golden Crow at all. They even suffered a backlash and had to retreat.

However, it was too late. As Xu Qing opened his eyes, he took a step forward and arrived in front of one cultivator. He ignored the other party’s Mystic Brilliance Form and grabbed the other party’s neck, ruthlessly squeezing it. The instant the neck broke, the black iron stick whistled over and crazily pierced through the cultivator’s body seven to eight times.

Xu Qing let go of the cultivator. The tail flame cloak on his back swayed and he transformed into a rainbow, appearing before another Starfish Race cultivator who was rapidly retreating. He directly collided with the cultivator.

The Starfish cultivator let out a mournful cry, but kept on retreating. However, Xu Qing was much faster. He collided again and the Starfish cultivator’s head instantly exploded.

This wasn’t the end. At this moment, the fog formed by a large number of black bugs had already filled the body of the third retreating Starfish cultivator. They had already begun devouring him.

As mournful cries spread from the fog, Xu Qing had already arrived in front of the last Starfish Race cultivator. Amidst the other party’s horror and despair, the Golden Crow on Xu Qing’s body rushed out. Immediately, fiendish fire erupted and burned the cultivator.

All of this happened in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the four people from the Starfish Race died. Their qi and blood, their souls, and their flesh were devoured.

However, it was a pity that they were like a piece of meat that had been refrigerated for many years before being unsealed. They had no nutrients or taste.

Xu Qing waved his hand and all the corpses in the surroundings dissipated, turning into ashes. Some passed by his eyes, but they couldn’t divert Xu Qing’s attention.

His gaze was fixed on the Patriarch of the Starfish Race who was refining pills beside the pill furnace in the ancestral temple.

At the same time, the captain’s figure walked over from behind Xu Qing and stood beside him. He held an apple that had turned black for some reason. As he ate it, he looked at the patriarch.

“Wow, Junior Brother, look at this person. He looks like he’s dead.”

The captain smiled.

The instant he spoke, the eyes of the Starfish Race’s patriarch beside the pill furnace suddenly opened. A divine light shone from his eyes like lightning!

At the next instant, Xu Qing’s mind rumbled and a huge sense of oppression assaulted him like a storm. However, the pendant hanging on his neck flashed and this pressure instantly dissipated.

The captain also took a few steps back. Runes flickered in his eyes and there was a hint of madness on them. He licked his lips and showed his teeth that still had some black flesh of the apple between them.

“Xu Qing, let’s attack together.”

Xu Qing nodded. At the next instant, the two of them headed straight for the Starfish Race’s patriarch in the ancestral temple.

A strange glint appeared in the Golden Core cultivator’s eyes as he suddenly laughed.

“Interesting. I didn’t expect to see small fries like you who still dare to charge over after encountering a Golden Core.”

“There’s still time, so I’ll play with you guys.”
