Outside Of Time

Chapter 1046 Demon Lord

Chapter 1046 Demon Lord

In the sky, the gray wind whistled, sweeping up sand that blotted out the sky. In the darkness, the colors of the entire world were cold.

On the ground, tens of thousands of grotesque divine sons, akin to demons, suppressed all chaos, restraining their madness, and prostrated themselves in worship.

From a distance, the scene was incredibly impactful.

In front of them, Xu Qing stood calmly, dressed in a black robe, with black hair fluttering behind him.

The wind revealed his pitch-black eyes, and the fluttering robes highlighted his upright figure.

With the concentric circles of blood flowing around his body like ribbons, it was a shocking and otherworldly sight, as if the lord of demons had descended to the mortal realm.

At that moment, this demon lord looked at the divine son in front of him and pressed his hand on his head. The moment he touched it, the divine son's body paused. However, he didn't dare to struggle at all and didn't move.

Xu Qing was expressionless. His divine consciousness fused into it and he silently sensed its essence.

The first thing he experienced was the obedience and reverence transmitted by the divine son. This was an instinctive act that suppressed the other party's chaos and madness.

After that, he felt the other party's hunger.

This reminded him of the scene where he had touched upon the divinity.

For a long time, Xu Qing continued to press down with his right hand. As the Poison Restriction dissipated and the power of the Purple Moon surged in, the divine son's flesh, which was difficult to break with ordinary means, rapidly melted in Xu Qing's hands.

Blood dripped down the divine son's face and landed on the ground, emitting sizzling sounds as the ground corroded.

As for Xu Qing's right hand, it had already penetrated deep into the divine son's body.

This intense pain caused the divine son to tremble even more. However, it still didn't dare to move away.

The authority of the Red Moon on Xu Qing's body seemed to exert an extreme suppression on these divine sons.

"The flesh contains a stronger sense of chaos, possesses a certain degree of corrosion, and includes the intrusion of anomalous substances," Xu Qing pondered. He could sense that he couldn't devour these divine sons.

They were formed from impurities and there was no benefit to devouring them.

A long time later, Xu Qing shook his head and lifted his hand.

His gaze landed on the surroundings. Looking at these prostrating divine sons, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and took out a fragmented item.

With the appearance of this object, a vast force spread within, causing the colors of the world to change, winds to rise, and clouds to surge. The oppressive feeling became significantly stronger.

This was the gift the heir had given Xu Qing back then, a fragment of a large world of a Soul Accumulation.

It had once been borrowed by the captain to suppress Nether Fairy until Nether Fairy was released in the apothecary. The captain then returned it.

Now that the fragment was out, a suction force erupted. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of divine sons here were sucked in, leaving nothing behind.

After doing this, Xu Qing kept the fragment and his gaze landed on the deep chasm.

There were no more divine sons there. The deep roars had long disappeared.

Just as he was checking, a divine sense fluctuation suddenly spread out.

"Xu Qing, come down for a moment."

That was the heir's voice.

Xu Qing didn't immediately go over; instead, he carefully examined the situation before walking to the edge of the deep chasm. He lowered his head for a glance and then stepped in.

His speed was extremely fast and the Poison Restriction filled his eyes. Blood surrounded him as he sped into the depths.

The deeper he went, the more intense the anomalous substances became. Sticky fluids flowed on the walls around him, emitting a putrid odor that made one nauseous.

Further down, there was a faint red glow.

Finally, when Xu Qing got close, a barrier formed by flesh was reflected in his eyes.

This lump of flesh was like a wall, sealing off the path forward. It continued to squirm and emit a red light, giving off an extremely dense aura of Crimson Goddess.

It seemed to be struggling, attempting to swell outward, but an unseen force suppressed it, preventing any resistance. It could only retreat continuously within these undulations.

The heir and Princess Mingmei were standing in front of the flesh barrier.

"This is the last defense that leads to the core of this place."

"We need to go in to retrieve a crucial item for saving Old Ninth. If we forcefully break through, even if Crimson Goddess is dormant, there may be a response, and it will instinctively hide the crystal within. So, we need you to unleash your authority and quietly open a gap."

The heir turned and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded. He had guessed it on the way here. Previously, the heir and Princess Mingmei had gone out many times. Their goal should have been this place.

Hence, he walked to the lump of flesh. The blood flowing outside his body flowed faster. As he lifted his right hand, it quickly gathered on his fingertip. When the red light was dazzling, a drop of blood flew out from his fingertip.

It landed on the lump of flesh.

This blood contained Xu Qing's authority over the Red Moon and emitted dense anomalous substances. One could even vaguely see a small Red Moon manifesting inside.

"Open!"

The moment the blood touched the barrier, Xu Qing transmitted his divine sense.

The flesh barrier suddenly trembled. The place where Xu Qing's blood landed instantly squirmed, squeezing in all directions and gradually creating a gap.

The heir and Princess Mingmei didn't hesitate at all. They transformed into two rainbows and disappeared into the gap.

Xu Qing didn't follow. He rapidly retreated until he was 1,000 feet away. As he continued to move back, sharp sounds emanated from the mass of flesh, accompanied by echoing roars. Then, the flesh trembled and began to wither.

The entire process took only three to five breaths. After the mass of flesh withered to its extreme, it turned into ash and dispersed, revealing a massive underground cavern beneath the deep pit.

The interior of the cavern was a shocking sight.

The ground was covered in a viscous pool of blood, emitting a strong smell of decay. In the center, there was a massive red crystal, with half of it exposed above the surface of the blood.

It shone with a red light.

In this blood pool, there were countless eggs.

Some of these eggs were dozens of feet in size and some were hundreds of feet. Their sizes were different but they were all red.

A portion of it was intact, and another portion had shattered, leaving only the eggshells floating on the pool.

Through the outer shells of the intact eggs, Xu Qing could see divine sons inside, struggling to break through the shells.

The heir and Princess Mingmei headed straight for the blood crystal. After they got close, they used their moves at the same time and took out the crystal.

As the crystal disappeared, the gore pool here rapidly dried up. The struggles of the eggs became increasingly intense and muffled roars continued to echo.

"Alright, let's leave."

After obtaining the item they needed, the heir was satisfied. As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to destroy all the eggs here.

Xu Qing's heart stirred and he hurriedly spoke.

"Senior, I have other uses for these divine sons."

When the heir heard this, his gaze landed on Xu Qing. Princess Mingmei nodded.

Xu Qing immediately took out the fragment of the great world. He performed a series of hand seals and pointed. Immediately, a suction force spread out and all the eggs here were instantly absorbed into the fragment.

After doing all this, Xu Qing was satisfied.

With such a large amount, he felt that it was already in line with the amount of oil the captain needed.

"Then, let's go."

Seeing that Xu Qing was done, the heir calmly spoke. With a swing of his sleeve, he swept Xu Qing out of this deep chasm. When they arrived outside, Princess Mingmei raised her hand and pressed down.

Immediately, the ground rumbled and the deep chasm began to collapse. Countless rocks appeared out of thin air and rapidly buried it, turning it into flat ground.

This disorder that had happened in the Bitter Life Mountain Range was resolved just like that. Xu Qing felt that this was normal. After all, with the Soul Accumulation, it was impossible for a divine son nest to cause a immense commotion.

However, to the cultivators of the Bitter Life Mountain Range, the impact was extremely strong. They were originally prepared to risk their lives, but everything that happened after that caused huge waves in their hearts.

A single palm could cover the entire mountain range and kill countless divine sons.

To be able to make even Ancestor Mogui respectful to the point of calling himself a junior.

The answer was self-evident.

"Soul Accumulation…"

These two words appeared in the hearts of all cultivators and turned into rolling thunder that kept exploding, turning into instinctive trembling.

After clearing out the remaining divine sons, they personally saw Ancestor Mogui go to the apothecary in that earth city. He didn't care about his identity at all and welcomed any guests who visited the store.

This scene caused another storm in the hearts of the cultivators of the Bitter Life Mountain Range.

Before this, the mysterious apothecary was quite famous in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. After all, there were a lot of unbelievable things that happened there.

However, no matter what, it was hard for them to imagine that there was actually a Soul Accumulation there.

Today, they understood that the apothecary… was the core of the Bitter Life Mountain Range and even this desert.

This realization made everyone feel intense reverence.

Hence, this ordinary city became the holy land of the desert.

Among the cultivators here, there were also cultivators from the Moon Rebel Hall. Hence, everything that happened here was rapidly spread to the Moon Rebel Hall and was known by the entire Rebellion Army in the Moon Worship Region.

All of a sudden, all the resistance forces in the outside world were in an uproar.

They had also heard of the Bitter Life Mountain Range before, but it was because of the appearance of the gray wind. That place was isolated to a certain extent from the outside world and was like a blissful land.

Moreover, it was suspected to be the source of the scene on the God Slaying Platform, so it was noticed and speculated.

However, the appearance of the Soul Accumulation caused the outside world to be in turmoil. This was because they thought of the scene on the God Slaying Platform. At the same time, their guesses about the Soul Accumulation's identity also arose.

"It's the crown prince!"

On a plain some distance away from the green sand desert, over a thousand flying ships whistled through the sky. In the flying ship at the front, a middle-aged cultivator sat cross-legged. He lifted his head and looked in the direction of the green sand desert, muttering to himself.

This person was travel-worn and his face was pale. It was obvious that he was injured. However, his expression was still dignified and solemn.

"Fourth Hall Master, are we… going to the desert?"

Beside the middle-aged cultivator stood more than ten subordinates. Every one of them was at the Nihility realm and all of them were heavily injured. At that moment, one of them asked hoarsely.

This middle-aged cultivator was none other than the fourth hall master of the Moon Rebel Hall. When he heard this, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Every flying ship behind was filled with cultivators from all races. They all bore signs of exhaustion and wounds, their gazes dim.

As a rebel army, they had failed under the suppression of the Red Moon Shrine and the outbreak of the divine son's calamity.

They had suffered heavy losses.

After paying a immense price, the remaining forces finally escaped.

However, with the Red Moon Shrine chasing after them, even though the world was large, they had nowhere to escape to.

"Yes, let's go to the desert."

The fourth hall master took a profound breath and spoke.
