Outside Of Time

Chapter 393 Light!

Hearing Xu Qing's words and looking at Xu Qing's calm expression, Saintly Star's killing intent intensified and his expression turned unsightly.

He hated Xu Qing and hated him to the core.

What he hated was a person like Xu Qing. The latter had clearly killed countless people like him and was even proficient in despicable methods, such as poison and the evilness that covered his magic aperture.

However, such a person actually emitted light after the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door opened.

This was an extremely great blow to Saintly Star's mind.

He had always felt that he was the light. This was how he got the title of Saintly Star.

However, the answer was extremely ironic. When he opened the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door, what appeared was a disgusting tongue that carried a stench and mucus.

Hence, the moment he saw the light that day, he felt that it was ridiculous. He couldn't accept it and at the same time, his heart was filled with deep disgust for Xu Qing.

Hearing Xu Qing's words, his disgust grew even more intense. The killing intent in his eyes erupted and the five balls of life fire in his body rose. Behind him, Miemeng transformed and let out a cry.

When the combat strength of the six fires soared to the sky, the Golden Crow in his right eye flickered, providing him with endless vitality.

All of these allowed his combat strength to be infinitely close to seven fires. This was the reason he was confident in killing Xu Qing.

Moreover, the mark left by his grandfather in his body sealed all the magic apertures in his body, preventing external forces from blocking them. And the Golden Crow's vitality allowed him to ignore the poison Xu Qing had used in the past.

Saintly Star was confident there would be no issue in his plan. Although he had lost his life lantern, his combat strength was stronger than before.

He let out a cold snort and pushed his palm toward the sky.

"Five Fire Divine Brilliance!"

Almost at the instant Saintly Star finished speaking, five blood-colored sword qi soared into the sky from his body.

These five sword qi were each sharper and more redder than the previous.

These five sword qi were none other than Saintly Star's five balls of life fire!

They headed straight for the sky.

Wherever they passed by, the space would ripple and the surrounding clouds of about 10,000 feet were dyed blood red.

Finally, these five sword qi transformed into five fingers that descended from the blood-colored clouds.

First, the fingertips appeared, then the phalanges, then the knuckles. Finally, all five fingers were revealed.

The disciples outside Mount Mystic Dao who saw this scene were all shaken.

They could sense the terrifying power coming from the clouds and those five fingers.

That was a suppression of Foundation Building. It was the sublime intent after reaching the perfection of five fires. It also contained an intense fluctuation of emotions that transformed into killing intent that locked onto Xu Qing.

For the first time, Xu Qing's expression changed. It wasn't because of Saintly Star's combat strength but because he sensed a different aura from these five fingers in the clouds.

This aura was indescribable and seemed to have nothing to do with cultivation base.

It was like some kind of will.

While Xu Qing was moved, the gazes of the older experts of the various sects who were observing this battle revealed strange glints. This was especially so for the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. His eyes lit up and he laughed loudly.

"As expected, it's my grandson with the potential of an ancient sovereign. He actually comprehended a trace of killing domain in the five fires perfection stage. Even though it's only a trace and it only contains will, it's still enough to shock the world. Good, good, good!"

Purple Mystic Fairy, who was taking a sip of the snow lotus-seed soup, looked at this with an interested expression.

"His aptitude is indeed extraordinary. No wonder that old man Soaring Cloud spared no expense to obtain a wisp of the Golden Crow's clone for him. No wonder my senior brother, who doesn't wake up early without benefits, agreed to this matter."

As the surroundings trembled, the sword qi fingers formed by the five life fires that contained Saintly Star's will and astonishing killing intent approached Mount Mystic Dao.

Xu Qing stared at them. He admitted regardless of whether it was back then or now, Saintly Star was a strong enemy. This person's aptitude was very terrifying.

Most importantly, after this person's life lantern was seized, not only was he not depressed, but he also became even sharper. This wasn't something an ordinary person could do.

Xu Qing fell silent. The instant the five fingers in the sky landed, he lifted his right hand and waved it fiercely. Immediately, black fog appeared under his feet.

This fog instantly churned and enveloped Mount Mystic Dao, spreading in all directions, causing Xu Qing's surroundings to seem to have transformed into a sea of fog.

The range was also 10,000 feet!

Above, there were 10,000 feet long blood-colored clouds.

Below, there was a 10,000 feet long black sea of fog.

Xu Qing's right hand formed a seal and he pointed at the sky. Bolts of lightning erupted in the surrounding black fog sea. As they swam in all directions, a withered finger rose from the fog sea under Xu Qing's feet in the blink of an eye!

A rumbling sound rang through the area.

It was Xu Qing's bizarre art, the Mystic Nether Finger of the Mystic Nether Curse.

On this finger, there was a trace of the comprehension Xu Qing had obtained when he observed the heavenly nail. Although he didn't completely succeed, even if it was just a trace, it still made this Mystic Nether Finger have a sharp ferocity.

Although this sharp ferocity was very faint and it was difficult for ordinary cultivators to sense it, to people at the level of the ancestors, they could still sense it. At the next instant, the expression of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor was ugly while Xue Lianzi laughed loudly.

"Interesting." Purple Mystic Fairy took a sip of the lotus seed soup and smiled.

In an instant, with a deafening boom, Xu Qing's Mystic Nether Finger and Saintly Star's Five Fires Divine Brilliance collided.

The five fingers of the 10,000-foot-long blood clouds landed and the 10,000-foot-long black fog below shot into the sky.

Powerful air and sound waves spread in all directions. Saintly Star trembled and coughed out blood as the Five Fires Divine Brilliance collapsed and the 10,000-foot-long blood clouds scattered.

? Xu Qing's breathing hastened slightly. His Mystic Nether Finger also collapsed. As the black sea of fog dispersed, he narrowed his eyes, hiding a hint of coldness. He bit the tip of his tongue and coughed blood as he retreated.

Saintly Star took a deep breath and the Golden Crow in his right eye flickered. All his injuries instantly recovered. He immediately gave chase after Xu Qing. As he chased, he pressed his hand against his chest and took out a blood-colored sword from his body.

This sword was dark red in color. As soon as it appeared, its qi and blood surged into the sky, bringing with it a dense fishy smell. It was also filled with poison intent.

Xu Qing wasn't unfamiliar with this poison. It was the aura of his poison pill.

This was a sword of flesh and blood that Saintly Star had refined with the help of his grandfather while being tortured by the poison pill's aura. When he refined this sword, an image had appeared in his mind. It was the scene of him killing Xu Qing with this sword.

At that moment, he drew his blood sword. Miemeng appeared behind him and the Golden Crow in his right eye shone, boosting his speed. He instantly approached Xu Qing and stabbed fiercely.

The tip of the sword was about to enter Xu Qing's chest.

Xu Qing adopted an unsightly expression. He quickly retreated to the edge of Mount Mystic Dao and soared into the air, as though he wanted to distance himself.

However, Saintly Star was aggressive and his speed became even faster.

Xu Qing quickly analyzed that it wasn't time yet. The probability of him devouring Miemeng wasn't high right now, let alone kill Saintly Star. He needed an opportunity.

He performed hand seals with both hands and the fiendish fire in his body erupted. At this moment, spirit sea from all 119 magic apertures rose, forming a terrifying force around him. His life lanterns also emitted protective barriers that resisted everything.

A heaven-shattering sound rang out as Xu Qing's layers of defense collapsed and he was forced back. However, Saintly Star didn't feel good either. Due to the rebound force coming from Xu Qing, he couldn't maintain a destructive momentum and had no choice but to retreat and disperse the rebound force.

The instant he retreated, a cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He waved his right hand, scattering the last type of poison powder!

Before this, he had already spread a hundred poison powders here. This last one was the poison catalyst. As the poison in this place detonated, even though Saintly Star's life force was terrifying, he was still poisoned.

It wasn't fatal, but with all the negative effects acting up at the same time, Saintly Star's expression changed and spat out blood. His body turned greenish-black and the anomalous substances in him clearly increased.

Xu Qing wanted to give chase. However, while retreating, Saintly Star threw out the blood sword in his hand and performed a series of hand seals. Immediately, the blood sword self-destructed, transforming into a sea of blood that rumbled toward Xu Qing.

With this delay, Saintly Star successfully retreated. After he sensed that some of the negative effects in his body couldn't be dispelled immediately, his expression turned ugly. He waved his hand and dense fog formed in the surroundings, blocking the vision of the outside world. After that, he quickly took out a piece of black wood.

It was the fragment of the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door that he had taken out back in the Nanhuang Continent. However, this fragment seemed to be a little larger.

The wood shook and the black wooden door appeared once again.

As soon as this bizarre black wooden door appeared, a sinister aura erupted. However, most of the people in the outside world couldn't see what was going on inside. Saintly Star had used the fog to block the vision for the sake of his dignity. He instinctively didn't want outsiders to see the tongue inside the door.

At that moment, the wooden door creaked open a crack; an extremely stinky tongue with a large amount of mucus came out from the door and wrapped around Saintly Star's body.

Saintly Star's body twitched violently and all the poison in him turned into a mouthful of blood that he spat out.

When Xu Qing saw this, he rushed toward Saintly Star at an extremely fast speed. As he lifted his right hand, the cultivation base in his body spread out and layers of waves appeared in the surroundings, rapidly approaching with terrifying might.

With a wave of his hand, the nine waves overlapped and ruthlessly pressed down on Saintly Star.

Saintly Star narrowed his eyes. In an instant, his unsightly expression was replaced by a hint of coldness. He stared at Xu Qing and spoke softly.

"Xu Qing, you fell for it."

"My main focus during this time wasn't on the methods from before but to do my best to refine the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door and finally allow it to display its second ability."

"Seal!" Saintly Star's eyes revealed greed. As he laughed, he suddenly waved his hand. Immediately, the black wooden door in front of him turned and faced Xu Qing. It slowly… opened!

A beam of light shot out from the gate!

At the next instant, the bowl containing the lotus seed soup slid down from a beautiful hand that was as white as jade and as smooth as cream, landing on the white jade ground.
