Outside Of Time

The fragmented-face's eyes opened only a crack.

The instant this gap appeared, Xu Qing's body rumbled. An indescribable intense pain drowned him like furious waves.

His body started to explode little by little, and the meridians and bones in his body also shattered.

He couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

His soul and cultivation also showed signs of dimming at this moment.

It was as though he had become a candle that was burning everything, serving as the driving force for the god's fragmented-face to open Its eyes.

However, his cultivation was insufficient. The fragmented-face's eye opening slightly had almost drained him completely.

But even so, even with just a narrow slit in the fragmented-face's eyes, it instantly plunged the world within the Moon Palace into absolute silence.

The Crimson Goddess' past figure let out a wail. Her body was actually melting, emitting red fog that was constantly thinning, as though it was being erased.

The wooden door beside it shook intensely and was decaying. Black gas rose from it and an extremely terrified voice rang out.

"Father…"

The heir and the others were pale and their bodies were being seriously invaded. Xu Qing's move didn't distinguish between foes and allies. As long as they were in this world, they would be affected.

The captain was affected as well. He had fused into his past life body and transformed into a large number of blue worms. Although the vast majority of them had collapsed while resisting Crimson Goddess and devouring the wooden door, there were still a few hidden on the ground.

Originally, they were fusing with each other, reassembling their body. But now… they were screaming in fright.

However, this horror didn't seem to come from the fragmented-face of the god in the sky but from the Red Moon Star itself.

This was because the captain's gaze was on the land of the Red Moon as he screamed… He seemed to want to say something but his words were strangely unable to come out.

At that moment, if someone could look down on the Red Moon from a high altitude, they would be able to see that the Moon Palace's world was also affected.

The ruined city that stood tall on the ground was a blur, as hazy and silent as a ghost's domain.

The sky dimmed and bolts of lightning tore through the sky, causing the entire world to shine.

However, there was no sound of thunder, only the rain falling silently.

As for the fragmented-face of the god high in the sky, It showed no joy or sorrow. Coldness seemed to be Its only expression. It was as though to It, be it cultivators, mortals, or even high gods…

There wasn't much difference.

The anomalous substances from the fragmented-face erupted at this moment, like the source of everything, invading everything.

Its domineeringness and terror were far from what other gods could compare to. Or rather, even gods would be invaded by it.

After all, on the Wanggu Continent, Its gaze could create a forbidden zone. If It looked at a forbidden zone, it would transform into a forbidden region.

If It looked at the forbidden region, it would become a Divine Realm!

The Moon Palace itself was also a type of Divine Realm… No one knew what would happen if the god's fragmented-face looked at a Divine Realm.

In the entire Wanggu Continent, ever since the god's fragmented-face appeared, such a thing had never happened. The god's fragmented-face had only gazed at a place three times.

Its gaze had formed Divine Realms before, but after Divine Realms were formed, It had never gazed at them again!

Although the fragmented-face that appeared now was only an image from Xu Qing's memory, the god's fragmented-face was too high-level. Despite the eyes in the scene being far less potent than the actual entity, They still possessed a certain divine power.

Thus, at this moment, a scene unfolded—an unprecedented event in the countless years of Wanggu.

The god's fragmented-face's eye looked at the Divine Realm…

The Moon Palace and the entire Red Moon Star instantly froze and developed in an unknown direction!

This development was incomparably profound.

Firstly, regardless of whether it was the Moon Palace or the Red Moon Star, they seemed to have been isolated from the time in the Wanggu Continent. The entire Red Moon Star and the Moon Palace instantly decayed and formed again.

The mountain rocks, the palace, and everything on the star were changing.

This change was related to time.

The flow of time on the Red Moon Star had become violent!

The entire star would occasionally reveal an ancient landform, and sometimes it would shatter into pieces and be destroyed. During this time, it kept changing, as though it was jumping through different nodes of time extremely fast.

Only the Red Moon Star was like this. Outside the star, everything was normal.

This change caused everyone to be shocked and horrified.

The trembling voice of the Moon Flame High God came from behind the wooden door.

"Stop!"

"If Father looks at the Divine Realm, it will form a great terror!"

"Stop!!"

The Moon Flame High God let out a shrill cry. This sound had the power to pierce the minds of anyone.

However, the Red Moon was jumping countless nodes of time, so the voice couldn't travel far. In the end, She transmitted Her voice to Erniu.

At the next instant, Erniu's body that was forming trembled and the uncontrollable screams stopped. The horror in his eyes was incomparably dense as he looked at Xu Qing and hurriedly spoke.

"Little Qing, stop quickly!"

"Once the god's fragmented-face looks at the Divine Realm… the Divine World will appear!"

"The Divine World can't be understood and is a great terror!"

The captain anxiously crawled toward Xu Qing.

However, at this moment, Xu Qing's consciousness had already fallen into emptiness. There was no self or spirit, only instinct driving his eyes. He lay there and looked at the changes in the Red Moon Star.

In his perception, time seemed to have become a straight line with a beginning and an end. The Red Moon Star was on this straight line but it wasn't fixed. Instead, it kept jumping, appearing anywhere on this line.

Every time it flashed, it would be at a different time point and it was shifting faster and faster. Finally, it turned into a blur.

Amidst this blurriness, the next level of changes also manifested.

A second Red Moon Star appeared outside the Red Moon Star!

Next was the third, fourth… After that, countless Red Moon stars occupied everything in the void.

"Space-time… lost control…" The captain's voice trembled even more.

"At the start, the fragmented-face's gaze brought the concept of time in the Red Moon which made it become turbulent, jumping through time violently. After that… it was given space, giving rise to countless spaces and countless Red Moon.

"Becoming space-time, it is both one and countless."

The captain screamed and used all his strength to crawl.

The Red Moon had become countless.

Originally, each of these Red Moon stars was jumping in their own time and space, flickering in their own time. However, now that countless Red Moons had appeared, they… were no longer limited to their own time and space.

Instead, they jumped out and the spacetime between them became a mess. They continuously overlapped and spread out. Sometimes, there would be several overlapping, and sometimes, there would be hundreds or thousands of them merging. They surrounded each other, scattered in all directions, and intertwined.

There was no order or rules!

The pressure Xu Qing and the others felt during this period had already reached the extreme. At this moment, regardless of whether it was the gods or cultivators, they were equal!

This was because they couldn't face or resist this phenomenon.

They all collapsed and blood flowed out.

This lasted until the blurry Red Moon stars fused together, causing all spacetime to turn hazy.

And after the haziness… it was as though there was something else.

Xu Qing gazed over in a daze. Just as he was about to take a closer look, his body trembled. The world of the Red Moon Star instantly froze and halted moving again.

Not only did this place not move, but the other Red Moon Stars also stopped.

Immediately after, they all shattered as though they no longer had the power to continue sublimating!

The Red Moon stars shattered and dissipated completely, as though they had never appeared. In the end, only the one Xu Qing was on was left. The concept of time also dissipated.

Everything that happened before was now unraveling in reverse.

At the next instant, the Red Moon Star and the Moon Palace recovered. Everything returned to normal. As for the ruins on the ground of the Moon Palace, they vanished at that moment. The god's fragmented-face in the sky also disappeared.

From the start to the end, Its eyes only opened a tiny gap.

In the end, Xu Qing's strength wasn't enough for It to completely open Its eyes.

The scene of the god's fragmented-face opening Its eyes was also gone from his purple crystal.

As everything recovered, the time of the Crimson Goddess from Zhang Siyun's memories in the air shattered. Even Her body turned into ashes.

As time passed, Zhang Siyun's figure was revealed.

His body trembled as He stood there. His calm expression was long gone, replaced by extreme horror. At the same time, His body was rapidly aging and gradually dissipating.

The wooden door of the Moon Flame High God shook and quickly hid.

As for the heir and the others, they had already lost consciousness.

The captain… was crawling beside Xu Qing, mouth wide open as if about to bite to alert Xu Qing to stop. As everything reversed, he had his mouth agape, his eyes momentarily bewildered.

He then spoke in a low voice.

"Junior Brother, promise me not to use this move in the land of the gods…"

Xu Qing's face was filled with fatigue as he struggled to sit up. While he was panting, he also felt his heart palpitating. At that instant earlier, he didn't know why but he could sense great terror.

At that moment, he barely lifted his head. Xu Qing glanced at the captain and then at Zhang Siyun in the distance.

Zhang Siyun's body was disappearing. His arms and more than half of His body had turned into ashes. They appeared to have been erased and vanished from Xu Qing's vision.

The thorny crown on His head also emitted cracking sounds and continued to shatter. However, in the end… there was still a small section left!

This small section of light flickered with purple light, giving Xu Qing the feeling that it was actually somewhat similar to the light from his purple crystal. When this light erupted, Zhang Siyun's blurry figure gradually formed inside and a hoarse voice echoed.

"Just a little more and you would have erased my main body too, Xu Qing."

"However, in the end, my main body is still here, so I'm fine."

This scene caused Xu Qing's eyes to narrow but his expression didn't alteration much. His personality caused him to never have only one method to do things.

Hence, he spoke softly.

"Your Majesty."

In an instant, the figure of the Ancient Spirit Emperor emerged in front of Zhang Siyun, who was forming His body. He didn't attack Him, but pressed something against Zhang Siyun's face.

After that, He instantly hid.

As He hid, He instinctively glanced at Xu Qing with fear.

At that moment, Zhang Siyun's expression changed. There was an additional item on His face.

It was a mask.

To be precise, it was the face of an old man. His expression was sorrowful and his face was covered in wrinkles.

It had a name, and it was called compassion.
