Outside Of Time

Chapter 389 Jianwu's Highlight (2)

It was incomparably huge and intimidating.

The snake head was on the huge pillar. It looked like a mountain range was spreading over from one side.

The sinister snake head had no flesh and only had black bones remaining. It seemed to be filled with unwillingness before it died. Its mouth was wide open, revealing sharp fangs.

There was a trace of dried golden blood on its fang.

This trace of golden blood emitted an aura that seemed to shake the nine heavens.

This aura was domineering and yet noble. It was enough to make the minds of everyone who saw it shake and their souls unstable.

Everything was similar to the mural. The difference was that the feeling from seeing it personally was much different from simply looking at the mural.

That nail's terrifying aura and the pressure that came from the snake even after it had died caused the expressions of Xu Qing and the other two to change.

The captain's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the fang that was stained with a trace of dried golden blood inside the snake head.

"I'm too stupid. Why did I keep thinking about the treasures outside when there is such a treasure in the Alliance!! Could that be the blood of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether!!"

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the fang. After his gaze swept across the surroundings, he focused on sensing the dense soul power contained in this place.

This soul power was so dense that it seemed to have transformed into a soul sea, causing the Fiendish Fire Soul Devouring Art in Xu Qing's body to begin circulating on its own, guiding soul power into his body.

"This is indeed a land of fortune for opening one's magic aperture!" Xu Qing's heart palpitated but he didn't act rashly. Instead, he looked around in the air and continued to observe.

He was mainly looking at the other cultivators. They weren't the only ones here. Regardless of whether it was the disciples of the Mystic Nether Sect or people from other sects, there would always be cultivators who would pay the fee to come here.

This was especially so for the Mystic Nether Sect. It was impossible for them to have to pay the same price as the outsiders. They definitely had other ways to exchange for the entry qualification. Xu Qing's gaze swept across the dozens of people here and saw that the Mystic Nether Sect's disciples were the majority.

These people were all sitting cross-legged and cultivating. Moreover, Xu Qing saw that the vast majority of them were on the mountains formed by the bone snake in the outermost circle. Very few of them were close to the core.

This reminded Xu Qing of the token given by Purple Mystic Fairy.

Clearly, the closer one was to the core, the denser the soul power.

However, Xu Qing weighed the pros and cons. Even if he went to the depths, three days wouldn't be enough for him to open ten magic apertures. If he wanted to open ten magic apertures, he would have to stay here for at least a month.

In addition, if the soul power needed to open the next few magic apertures increased, a month probably wouldn't be enough.

"I don't have that many spirit stones…" Xu Qing turned his head and looked at Wu Jianwu. The captain also took a deep breath at this moment and his gaze quickly landed on Wu Jianwu.

Whether the two of them could achieve their goal depended on how much Wu Jianwu stimulated this demon snake.

At that moment, Wu Jianwu was trembling.

From the moment he walked out of the vortex and stepped here, he couldn't help but tremble in excitement. His eyes revealed an unprecedented light as he stared fixedly at the huge heavenly nail pillar.

There was a poem carved on it.

Xu Qing had noticed before that it was a little different from the mural but he didn't care. However, in Wu Jianwu's eyes, this was what he had been thirsting for.

There was no need for Xu Qing and the captain to rush him at all. He slowly rose into the air while trembling and looked at the poem in the distance as he muttered.

"Heavenly Nail Suppresses the Snake Demon, Sovereign's Blood Refines the Universe!"

Xu Qing and the captain were highly focused and were sensing their surroundings. However, there were no changes in their surroundings at all. Everything was normal.

"It's ineffective?" Xu Qing sighed inwardly. He felt that he and the captain had taken things too lightly previously. How could Wu Jianwu attract the attention of the snake soul? Even though this snake soul had been sleeping for countless years, it wouldn't be so easily provoked.

However, the captain was clearly unwilling. He stared at Wu Jianwu in the air, his body trembling as he savored the poem by the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether.

"Little Jianjian, imagine this in your mind. The great Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether is wearing an emperor's robe and crown. The nine canopies above his head are emitting countless streams of light. The aura he is emitting is monstrous. He is walking over from the Endless Sea. With one step, he landed on the sunken sea and with two steps, the seawater formed a figure that knelt down and kowtowed to him."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, Wu Jianwu's body trembled intensely.

"He took the third step and arrived at the Wanggu Continent. At that time, this place wasn't called the Yinghuang Province but was ruled by a demon snake. Countless small human countries were reared by it as food!"

"The Ancient Sovereign was furious. What was even more overboard was that this small sea snake actually bit his leg!"

When the captain said this, Wu Jianwu's breathing became hurried. This scene had already formed in his mind.

"The Ancient Sovereign lowered his head in disdain and waved his hand to refine the five elements into a heavenly nail, directly suppressing this demon snake here. Before he left, he casually wrote a poem!"

"Wu Jianwu, do you see this scene!!"

Wu Jianwu's breathing was unprecedentedly hurried and his body trembled more and more intensely. In the image formed in his mind, the appearance of the Ancient Sovereign who walked over from the sea gradually became him.

In fact, at this moment, the aura on his body had unknowingly changed. Wu Jianwu loved to imitate the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether the most. He had been imitating it for many years and had mastered it.

At that moment, with the captain's description, he instinctively imitated it. His expression became gloomy and solemn, and his eyes revealed disdain. He stood in the air and looked at the ground lightly. With a wave of his sleeve, he calmly spoke.

"A small snake dares to bite this sovereign, be careful your teeth might break and pierce your intestines."

As soon as he finished speaking, this place instantly rumbled. Vaguely, there seemed to be a roar that came from countless years ago. It was filled with hatred, cruelty, and madness that echoed in all directions!!

At the same time, a roar emerged from the forbidden land of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect of the Eight Sects Alliance as well. It was filled with monstrous hatred.

"Xu Qing, I have to thank you. If it wasn't for the fact that you kept me between life and death and tortured me until now, it would be impossible for me, Saintly Star, to open the 121st magic aperture so quickly!"

As the roar rang out, the skeleton-like Saintly Star rushed out of the blood pool and stepped in the air.

A large amount of blood flowed down his body, revealing his muscular body and peerless face under his red hair. However, his right eye had permanently turned pitch-black and was replaced by a Golden Crow that was hidden in the depths that outsiders couldn't detect.

This Golden Crow provided him with astonishing vitality to neutralize the poison in his body.

The moment the vitality and the poison reached a balance, Saintly Star was able to find the 121st magic aperture between life and death and open it to form… five balls of life fire.
