Outside Of Time - Chapter 467

467 God in the Moon!

30,000 feet away from the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, there was a special totem.

It looked like a figure holding its face and sitting on the moon.

Not many people knew about this but it wasn’t a secret. It was just that this totem represented a taboo, so those who knew about this avoided talking about it.

After the Sword Holder controlled the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, he had specially studied this totem. It described a moon in the Wanggu Continent.

!!
The Wanggu Continent was too big. Not only was there a moon, but there was also a sun.

Since ancient times, the number of moons and suns wasn’t fixed. There were more and more of them until the god’s fragmented-face arrived. There were a total of 37 suns and 37 moons.

They were scattered in different areas of the Wanggu Continent. While they illuminated each other, they would shift a little every few thousand years, causing the light to envelop more ranges.

However, even so, there were still many areas in the Wanggu Continent where there was no sunlight all year round.

Some races would live their entire lives in the dark night, and vice versa. Some races would not be able to see the dark night for countless years.

As for the arrival of the god’s fragmented-face, the sun and moon were the first to fall.

Right now, there were only 17 suns and even fewer moons in the Wanggu Continent. There were only 12 of them.

The totem 30,000 feet away from the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar described one of the 12 moons that still existed.

According to research, this totem was formed after a Divine Realm cultivator died. It could be confirmed that this Divine Realm cultivator was inextricably linked to the moon carved on the totem.

At the same time, in the records of the Sword Holding Court, according to the information from the Grand Imperial Capital Region, all the races had been suspecting something all these years.

That was… there were currently 17 suns and 12 moons on the Wanggu Continent. Perhaps… there were gods sleeping among them.

However, this matter was too big and the myriad races didn’t have any true evidence. There were only traces, so they could only make guesses.

However, there was one thing that the myriad races had confirmed through a special method. That was… there must be gods in the divine territory.

To the myriad races of the Wanggu Continent, the Divine Realm was filled with mysteries, unknowns, and terror.

The higher-ups of the myriad races knew of the existence of the Divine Realm because it was fixed. However, it was very difficult for them to enter.

Anyone who got close would tremble. If they forced their way in, they would definitely die.

Over the countless years, peculiar existences would occasionally walk out of the Divine Realm, but the number was very small. So far, the records the myriad races had on these existences were only a few words. The most used word was the divine son.

Hence, the Sword Holding Court attached great importance to that runic totem.

Although it was only formed from resentment, the Sword Holding Court still made a huge harvest. It was a pity that that runic totem couldn’t be activated every time.

But now, it was activated.

Moreover, it had been activated twice. One time was in the captain’s sea of consciousness and the other time was in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

Xu Qing didn’t know about the captain’s situation but at that moment, he saw a youth’s soul shadow in his sea of consciousness.

The youth’s soul was very blurry, as though it would dissipate at any moment. However, one could still vaguely see his handsomeness and a sense of elegance that seemed to be innate.

This handsomeness and elegance carried flawlessness, giving off an unreal and demonic feeling.

There were also countless red patterns on his body and a moon mark on his glabella.

After appearing in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness, he was expressionless and his eyes were empty. He slowly bowed outside the Heavenly Palace and spoke a language Xu Qing had never heard of but he could sense the meaning.

“Moon Ruler, guide the Wanggu. Mourn for all living beings, and enjoy paradise.”

As his voice echoed, the moon mark on his glabella shone with a red light. This light instantly covered the surroundings. At the next moment, Xu Qing saw a moon rising behind the youth.

A red moon.

This moon appeared in his sea of consciousness, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness in red. At the same time, endless anomalous substances rapidly spread out from the moon. As they churned, they surged out and permeated the surroundings, invading Xu Qing’s entire body.

Xu Qing’s mind shook.

In addition, he saw a figure on the moon.

This figure should be a woman with long hair. She sat on the moon and covered her face with her hands. She was motionless.

Almost at the instant Xu Qing looked over, an astonishing pressure spread out from the moon. Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness trembled and his soul shook intensely.

In an instant, everything became blurry. There were also waves of murmurs containing meanings that couldn’t be made sense of echoing in all directions. It was as though myriad beings were speaking at the same time, transforming into an indescribable impact that made Xu Qing feel as though his soul was about to be torn apart.

When this pressure appeared, the anomalous substances in the surroundings became even denser. From Xu Qing’s Heavenly Palaces, from his soul, from his body, spirit sea, and even his magic apertures, anomalous substances rapidly grew everywhere.

It was as though his body had become a world and the moon had become the fragmented-face of the god in this world. At that moment, the god opened His eyes, and everything was about to be forcefully changed from the source.

At the same time, a powerful divine sense erupted from the moon and suppressed Xu Qing’s soul, wanting him to worship and submit.

“Respect the Lord. You can live forever and come to the Divine Realm to enjoy paradise.”

Xu Qing’s figure materialized from his soul shook and was torn apart by this divine sense. Endless pain spread through his entire body. The divine sense that wanted him to kneel and submit completely erupted at this moment.

However, Xu Qing laughed and killing intent erupted from his heart.

“I don’t want the eternal life given by others!”

“As for the Divine Realm… the place the god’s fragmented-face saw three times is the Divine Realm. In that case, what would the person who survived his three gazes be? I really want to know.”

“Therefore, you’re not worthy of being my lord!”

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes as he resisted with all his might. The shadow of the Golden Crow formed in his sea of consciousness. As it let out a cry, boundless light rose. The Ghost Emperor Mountain swayed and formed a suppressive force.

In an instant, the moon and the figure on it also erupted with an even stronger divine sense, spawning even more anomalous substances.

After sensing these, Xu Qing spoke softly.

“Anomalous substances… I have it too!”

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the Poison Restriction Pill instantly erupted in his third palace. Endless blackness spread out and all the poison inside gushed out, permeating Xu Qing’s entire sea of consciousness.

It attacked the moon!

During this process, wisps of anomalous substances that belonged to Xu Qing grew in his sea of consciousness. More and more of them invaded the moon.

This caused the color at the edges to change. Red was mixed with black and there was a faint hint of purple as well.

This was unprecedented!

The Sword Holding Court had studied this runic totem for many years. The scene they encountered was the same as Xu Qing’s previous scene. That youth was a soul shadow formed by resentment after he was killed by the Ghost Emperor. He didn’t have any intelligence and didn’t have many memories. What he had seemed to be an instinct.

He would instinctively reveal the red moon and form a power similar to that of a god to suppress everything.

However, this god’s power was illusory. The Sword Holding Court’s analysis was that the memories of the youth had been materialized.

It was like moonlight in the water, incomparable to the real power of the god.

Hence, the experts of the Sword Holding Court could suppress it. After cultivators encountered it during the challenge, it wouldn’t be a big deal if they failed. At most, they would be mentally weakened but there would be no risk of their bodies being possessed.

Although there were anomalous substances, as long as they were quickly expelled, there wouldn’t be any danger to life. They weren’t that dense and were mostly illusory.

However, today, everything had changed.

Xu Qing’s anomalous substances were actually counter invading!

Invasion was the way anomalous substances were seen. Just like the arrival of the god’s fragmented-face, its aura invaded all things. Regardless of whether they were illusory or real, they could be invaded.

As for the invasion of anomalous substances, this wasn’t something that cultivators could grasp currently.

At that moment, in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness, the red moonlight trembled for the first time. Amidst the trembling, a breathing sound that seemed to come from an endless distance, a boundless void, and also like the long river of time suddenly rang out from the red moon.

There were no specific words, only the sound of breathing.

However, the instant it appeared, a monstrous boom erupted in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness and his body. An intense pain came from his soul, as though it was about to collapse and shatter into pieces.

His Heavenly Palaces also rumbled. Deep cracks appeared on them.

It was the same for his sea of consciousness. It swayed intensely and so did his body. His internal organs began to crumble, Ghost Emperor Mountain quaked, and the Golden Crow let out a painful cry.

All of this caused Xu Qing, who was at 30,000 feet height on the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, to spit out a large mouthful of blood, and blood mist spurted out from pores all over his body.

An extremely intense pain spread in Xu Qing’s entire body and his sea of consciousness showed signs of collapsing. At that moment, his vision darkened and he couldn’t stand steadily on the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar.

Under the gazes of the people paying attention below, he fell.

When countless cries of surprise rose from the ground, a blood-colored figure whistled over from the ground. Its speed was so fast that it instantly got close and caught Xu Qing.

This figure was none other than Xue Lianzi.

After he caught Xu Qing, his expression was solemn. He quickly took out a golden pill and stuffed it into Xu Qing’s mouth.

Just as he was about to observe, an ear splitting cry rang out from 30,000 feet height.

The captain’s figure also fell to the ground. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his entire body was covered in blood.

What was even more exaggerated was that his lower body had directly exploded including parts of his stomach, as though he had eaten something inedible.

Xue Lianzi’s eyes narrowed. After catching him, he looked at the two people in his arms speechlessly.

At that moment, Xu Qing woke up. Although his body was weak and his sea of consciousness was riddled with holes, his breathing became hurried as he looked at the additional item in his sea of consciousness. An intense glint appeared in his eyes.

It was a very, very small purple moon.

Although it was small, a soul-stirring power was being nurtured in it!

After Xu Qing sensed it, he was shocked and a strange glint appeared in his eyes. The captain at the side also opened his eyes at this moment, his gaze filled with fanaticism.

At the same time, in an extremely far distance from the Yinghuang Province, in a corner of the extreme west region of the Wanggu Continent where the human race had almost never stepped foot, the night sky shone with a red light.

Because the nearest sun couldn’t illuminate this place, this area was dark all year round.

Other than the god’s fragmented-face, there was only a red moon in the sky.

The demonic red light of the moon suddenly shone, illuminating the ground slightly more clearly, revealing… bones all over the ground.

Countless dried corpses of various races covered this extremely large area. If they dug deeper, there might be even more underground.

These nonhuman races had died for an unknown period of time. It might have been a thousand years or even longer. Moreover, every skeleton had covered their faces with their hands when they were alive.

In the red moon in the sky, a blurry murmur rang out.

“Two strands of divine aura have dissipated, but dissipation can be replenished. It has been like this for many years. I shouldn’t have awakened because of this.”

“That’s not right. Someone… stole a trace of my divine source?”

“Who was it?”

As soon as this sound rang out, the anomalous substances on the ground erupted and the whole area distorted.
