Outside Of Time

Chapter 1005 Xu Qing's Authority!

Chapter 1005 Xu Qing's Authority!

"Speaking of it…" The captain's expression revealed a touch of pride. Instinctively, he took out a peach, ready to eat, but he noticed that the heir was staring at him.

He blinked and took out a pear, handing it to the prince.

"Elder, do you want to eat one?"

The heir was expressionless.

The captain smiled awkwardly and kept the pear. He then coughed.

"Speaking of which, of course, the old man took the initiative to find me. At that time, I was wearing open-crotch pants and playing with mud with the little sisters from the neighbor's house. The old man appeared and disturbed my good time. He also touched my bones and said that he was my fated person, so he kidnapped me."

"As for Little Qing, he took the initiative to find master. He's different from me."

The heir glanced at the captain. He understood that this kid had actively sought out the master, and it was only under shameless persistence that he had been accepted. So, he was about to speak.

However, at this moment, the heir sensed something and lifted his head to look at the place where Xu Qing was in the distance.

The captain quickly sensed it and looked over as well.

In the dim world, Xu Qing stood silently amidst the green sandstorm and looked at the heavenfate flower in front of him.

He knew that Eldest Senior Brother had placed this box here.

He also understood that the person who knew about his past must be his master. In that case, the appearance of this heavenfate flower wasn't sudden.

Master had already expected everything.

Xu Qing carefully and slowly picked up the iron box. Looking at the flower inside, he couldn't help but think of that old man from the scavenger campsite again.

"Captain Lei, I've finally found the heavenfate flower…"

Xu Qing mumbled and closed his eyes.

As the blood-red face behind him collapsed and the endless blood qi gushed in through the pores of his entire body, he could vaguely hear the unwilling sigh of divinity.

Human nature also continued to return as tears fell.

This flower was like an anchor.

It made all his confusion find a source of stability, made all his bewilderment have stable markers, and even more, it concretized his humanity. From then on, it transformed into something like a rock, unbreakable.

All the memories that were originally important and then became unimportant became important again.

The scenes when he was young, the scenes of the Seven Blood Eyes, and his experience in Fenghai County…

All of them appeared again and they were even more profound.

He confirmed his name and the people and things he couldn't give up on.

His divinity was being concealed and his beastly nature was being suppressed.

A long, long time passed.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, sadness evident in his gaze. He had completely awakened.

The chaos disappeared.

Hunger was gone.

The instant he woke up, he felt the difference in his body. Boundless physical strength was circulating in his body, emitting a terrifying aura and terrifying fluctuations.

In the past, it was very difficult for him to completely control the god's body. Now, his compatibility with it had reached an unprecedented height.

From this moment on, this body no longer belonged to the god's finger.

Hence, the increase in combat strength would be even more terrifying.

After that, Xu Qing sensed the divine repository formed by the power of the Purple Moon and also the traces of divinity that had once dominated his consciousness.

It was a golden rune that was imprinted in the core of life.

It could be activated again at any time.

Compared to these, Xu Qing's experience this time was the most precious thing.

He felt the loss of his humanity. He had experienced the madness of a beast and the indifference of divinity.

In the end, he found his own anchor.

It restrained the frenzied beastly nature and hid the indifferent divinity, allowing human nature to return and become the leader.

"This process is touching divinity."

The heir's voice rang out from behind and entered Xu Qing's ears.

Xu Qing fell silent.

"Little Qing, after this experience, did you sense your authority?" The captain's voice was filled with curiosity as it echoed in all directions.

lightsn?v?l Xu Qing turned his head and looked behind him.

He saw the heir and the captain.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Senior." Xu Qing's voice was hoarse. His gaze landed on the captain's arm that had lost a lot of flesh and blood.

The place he had bitten seemed to be very special. Even with the captain's recovery ability, it hadn't completely healed.

Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, the captain instinctively placed his left hand behind his back and smiled indifferently, urging and looking forward to it.

The heir wanted to shake his head. He didn't believe that one could grasp authority with the first attempt to touch the divine; generally, it took multiple tries. However, recalling Xu Qing's comprehension, he restrained the motion of shaking his head.

'This kid's comprehension ability is too monstrous… I should wait and see first.'

Xu Qing glanced at the heir and then stared into his eldest senior brother's eyes. Waves rose in his heart. After that, he recalled his instincts when his senses had become chaotic.

However, at that time, he was in an unconscious state, so he needed time to carefully experience this memory.

Time flowed by. After about thirty minutes, Xu Qing frowned.

He recalled that previously, other than hunger, he had an even stronger thirst for blood. However, this was a little different from the god's authority he had imagined.

When the captain saw Xu Qing's expression, he coughed with a hint of pride on his face.

"Although the likelihood of experiencing authority on the first attempt of touching divinity is minimal, Little Qing, Senior Brother is a bit disappointed in you. But don't be discouraged; you're still young. Work hard, and I believe you can succeed like me on the second try."

The heir's gaze fell on Xu Qing, and in his mind, he wasn't sure if he breathed a sigh of relief or sighed. He spoke slowly.

"Let's go. We should return."

As he spoke, the heir walked forward, about to leave.

 ? 

? 

However, at that moment, Xu Qing hesitated.

"I think I feel it… but I'm not sure."

As he spoke, Xu Qing followed the feeling in his heart and lifted his right hand, waving it gently forward…

Drops of blood instantly flowed out of the pores on his body. Every drop of blood seemed to have a will and Xu Qing's face appeared on them.

They gathered together and spun around Xu Qing, gradually forming a blood-red vortex.

This scene caused the captain's eyes to widen and the heir stopped in his tracks.

A rumbling sound echoed as the blood-red vortex grew larger and larger until it transformed into a blood-red lake that enveloped the surroundings. At the same time, a huge face appeared in the blood-red lake.

It was Xu Qing's face.

It was still indifferent, but what was different from before was that It was… controllable.

"I don't know if this is an authority or not. The trace of origin I plundered back then contained… blood."

Xu Qing looked at the captain and the heir as he spoke softly.

The heir's heart stirred and the captain's expression changed. He could sense that as the blood-red vortex appeared, especially the moment that face appeared, the blood in his body actually showed signs of losing control.

It was as though… as long as Xu Qing willed it, the blood in his body could instantly erupt and be controlled by the other party.

This was indeed the case. At that moment, Xu Qing could sense with his perception that there were countless fluctuations of blood in this desert.

As long as he wanted to, he could extract all the blood within his range.

"It's not just control…"

Xu Qing mumbled and closed his eyes. At the next instant, the blood-red vortex in his surroundings rumbled and drowned him. He rose into the air and transformed into a sea of blood. A divine repository was faintly discernible inside.

A terrifying pressure descended on the ground. This sea of blood also continued to surge and land on the ground.

With a boom, the green desert turned blood-red. Countless drops of blood gushed into the ground and spread in all directions. One kilometer, five kilometers, fifty kilometers…

In the end, its coverage reached 250 kilometers.

The desert within this 250-kilometer area was completely red. All the ferocious beasts inside wailed the moment they came into contact with the blood. Their bodies instantly collapsed and turned into a part of the blood.

There were also several giant mushrooms comparable to the Dao Nurturing ones, all trembling and disintegrating. Among them, one rose with its roots that formed the outline of a giant, attempting to escape but was engulfed by the erupting sea of blood from the ground, becoming a part of it.

The feeling of hunger once again surfaced in Xu Qing's heart. His thirst for blood also returned. He wanted to consume a larger area and spread it out.

However, the restraints of human nature made him understand that this was his current limit. If he continued, with his current ability, he would lose control again.

Hence, at the next instant, all the blood rapidly returned and formed Xu Qing's figure in front of the heir and captain.

This figure was blurry at first but it quickly became clear. Countless drops of blood were rising from the ground and continued to gather.

Gradually, his grayish-white hair turned black and his shriveled body returned to normal.

The successor lifted his right hand and grabbed lightly. Immediately, a drop of blood flew over from the sea of blood around Xu Qing and landed in his hand.

Xu Qing's face appeared in the blood and looked at the successor indifferently.

The heir's eyes narrowed. He could tell that this drop of blood indeed contained more than just the power of the Crimson Goddess' authority.

Authority was a power unique to every god. They were different and unique.

"This is the Red Moon's origin?!"

The heir's heart instantly churned. He was very clear that under the intentional guidance of the Crimson Goddess, the world had mixed Red Moon with the Crimson Goddess. However, in reality… Red Moon came first, and the Crimson Goddess came later.

Red Moon had existed for so long that it was there when Wanggu was born.

As for the Crimson Goddess… she became a god after the fragmented-face arrived.

The reason why the Crimson Goddess lived in the Red Moon was because She was continuously plundering and occupying the Red Moon, becoming the Red Moon. This was the path of the Crimson Goddess to becoming a god.

Her authority was obtained through this process.

Stealing the authority of the Crimson Goddess was equivalent to obtaining the power of Her comprehension. It was like eating something digested by others. However, Xu Qing… wasn't like this.

If one didn't compare strength, to a certain extent, it could be uttered that from the moment he comprehended the blood, he and the Crimson Goddess were walking the same path!

Their target, regardless of whether it was active or passive, was Red Moon.

These thoughts caused the heir's heart to tremble endlessly. However, he instinctively maintained his composure and calmly spoke.

"Not bad. It's the same as my judgment."

"A drop of blood can reconstruct the body and soul."

"A drop of blood, capable of infinite growth."

"Xu Qing, when you turn all your blood purple, you'll grasp even more authority over blood. Maybe one day… the Red Moon in the sky will also turn purple for you."

"Now, your cultivation can come to an end. Go back and rest. In seven days… I'll bring you to a place to meet someone."

The heir's expression was calm and his words were unfathomable, as though everything was within his expectations.

After saying that, he walked forward. With a wave of his hand, he released his fingers. The drop of blood returned and landed on Xu Qing's glabella, which had already recovered, merging into it.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked at the captain.

The leader forced a smile. He felt so much pressure. The feeling Xu Qing gave Xu Qing at this moment was much greater than before.

'This is his first attempt at touching divinity and he actually grasped the authority! I was just saying it casually just now. Moreover, this authority…'

The leader took a deep breath and thought to himself, 'This won't do. I still have to continue undoing the seal!'

He thought so inwardly but he could only force himself to maintain his calm.

"Not bad, not bad. It's the same as me back then. Haha…"

As he spoke, the leader quickened his pace and caught up to the heir.

Xu Qing nodded and followed the two of them.

As usual, the green-colored sandstorm whistled over.

As the sky turned red, the dim sky also became brighter than before.

It reflected on Xu Qing and the other two, leaving a blurry shadow on the ground.

They moved further and further away.
