Outside Of Time

Two days later.

In the Southern Isle Region, which, like the Holy Wave Large Region, bordered the sea, within a desolate mountain range, Transient Evil, having transformed into the form of a different race, was swiftly traversing the terrain.

During these two days, he had been moving while concealing himself. He first decided to move on the seabed and head to the outer sea.

In his opinion, since everyone in the Eastern Wanggu was looking for Xu Qing, it should be much safer for him in the outer sea.

Although endless danger permeated the outer sea and he didn't dare to rashly step in, it was relatively more suitable for hiding.

However, after he sensed an invisible seal isolating the inner and outer seas, he had no choice but to give up on this choice.

This seal came from the decree of the human race and the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. It used divine might to surpass the rules and form a seal.

Once someone came into contact with it, it would be difficult for them to hide.

After staring at it for a long time, Transient Evil's heart sank.

In the end, he changed directions.

He originally planned to find a place at the bottom of the sea to continue hiding. However, in the past two days, he sensed that the number of divine senses at the bottom of the sea was increasing explosively at every moment.

There were more and more of them, and they became denser.

It was as though all the divine creatures in the inner sea had joined the search.

Even the seawater felt a little abnormal. It was as though the undercurrents outside his body had inexplicably increased.

"Moreover, Flame Phoenix is constantly searching. If this continues, the Great Emperor's treasure won't be able to hold on much longer... I have to leave this range!"

Due to the pressure and the rising sense of danger, after Transient Evil gave up on going to the outer sea, he also gave up on hiding in the inner sea. Hence, he arrived at the Southern Isle Region that wasn't within the scope of Fenghai County.

There were almost no human forces in this region and it was controlled by seven medium-sized races. They rarely interacted with the outside world. To a certain extent, it could be considered a place isolated from the world.

Moreover, the terrain in the region was mainly mountains, and the border area was an endless desert.

However, although this region seemed to be suitable for concealment, it was precisely due to this that it would attract more attention.

Hence, it was a choice made helplessly by Transient Evil.

"But even if this is also in the Eastern Wanggu, it's not a place directly controlled by the human race..."

With such thoughts in mind, Transient Evil who stepped into this region changed his appearance many times on the way. He cautiously cut off all traces and karma and carefully sped through the desolate mountainous ranges.

At the same time, he was also refining the broken pagoda, trying to assimilate Xu Qing into his body as soon as possible.

However, the power of the broken pagoda was mysterious and the bubble's rejection still existed. Hence, the refinement process was incomparably slow.

This increased Transient Evil's sense of urgency.

What made him even more frustrated was Xu Qing, who was in the broken pagoda.

The other party had caught some information from his previous sentence. Hence, during these few days, Xu Qing's resistance became even more intense. From time to time, he would even transmit some divine sense.

Although these divine senses had been severed by him and couldn't be transmitted outside, they still caused his heart to gradually turn gloomy.

"You chose not to answer the question from last time. Looks like the Evil Life Holy Land you're in is indeed in turmoil."

Xu Qing sat cross-legged and meditated. Now that almost half of his injuries had recovered, he transmitted his divine sense.

No response.

"Or perhaps... it no longer exists."

Xu Qing's expression was calm. Under the guidance of divinity, he was extremely rational. Hence, even though he didn't like to speak much, he needed to judge the information of the outside world through this Ruler's reaction.

"Then, you should be fleeing, right? Fleeing from the pursuit of the human race and avoiding the search from everywhere."

Xu Qing continued.

However, Transient Evil wasn't a stupid person. No matter what Xu Qing said, there was no response.

However, the gloominess in his heart grew increasingly dense.

Fortunately, his judgment of the Southern Isle Region seemed to be somewhat correct. After entering the Southern Isle Region for a few days, he didn't sense divine sense searches like in the inner sea.

Hence, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose a cave, preparing to hide for some time and refine the broken pagoda with all his might.

However, this comfort only lasted for a few hours.

When night fell, outside the cave where Transient Evil was, the world rumbled as powerful divine senses swept out in waves.

That was the sensing of the experts in this region.

Transient Evil immediately opened its eyes, extremely vigilant.

An hour later, these divine senses dissipated.

However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, an even more terrifying will accompanied by divine might swept past him.

The range covered all directions. Wherever it passed, the sky would surge and the ground would tremble. All the mountains were shaking.

This was a god.

Transient Evil's expression changed. He immediately took out the pair of scissors and used the erase authority. At the same time, a strong wind howled outside the cave he was in.

A bizarre voice seemed to spread with the wind.

"Xu Qing, Xu Qing, Xu Qing!"

The sound was hoarse and carried an indescribable rhythm that echoed in all directions.

This was a god unleashing Its divine authority and calling out the name.

Wherever the sound spread, the color of the world changed. The large sword behind Transient Evil trembled even more. Xu Qing, who was in the broken pagoda, suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Transient Evil made a prompt decision. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out his precious Dao blood onto the scissors.

The scissors vibrated and more rust appeared on it. Finally, with a snip, everything was erased.

After a long time, the sound gradually dissipated.

As for Transient Evil, his countenance was already pale.

He didn't dare to stay here any longer. After confirming that the god had left, he immediately walked out. He didn't put away the scissors either and maintained the erase authority as he moved forward rapidly.

Just like that, another two days passed. He crossed countless mountain ranges and changed directions many times before finally entering a desert.

During these two days, it could be said that Transient Evil's heart skipped a beat many times. He had encountered the divine senses of the gods many times. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the Great Emperor's scissors, he would have been discovered long ago.

But even with the Great Emperor's Scissors, such frequent use came at a great cost.

Moreover, he had spat out Dao blood many times, causing his cultivation that had just advanced to become a little unstable.

However, he had no choice.

At that moment, the sense of oppression in his heart was already extremely intense. Hence, in this desert, he transformed into sand and moved forward with the wind.

On the first day, everything was normal.

The next day... Transient Evil who was carefully moving suddenly stopped. He heard a ballad.

"Five kilometers of sand, search and seek,

Fifty kilometers of marsh, trawl and peek,

Five hundred kilometers of graves, run and flee,

Five thousand kilometers of bamboo, you'll be found,

Transient Evil, Transient Evil, where are you,

I will wait here until I find you."

This ballad was bizarre and its tone was sinister. When it landed in Transient Evil's heart, it became a shocking wave.

This was because his name was actually mentioned!

At the next moment, the entire desert trembled as the ballad echoed. Countless grains of sand floated in the air and gathered into small sand hands that swayed like a grassland.

The sound of the ballad came from every grain of sand.

As it echoed and swayed, a great sense of horror suddenly descended on the horrified Transient Evil.

It transformed into an intense life-and-death crisis.

Transient Evil's breathing was hurried. Without any hesitation, he self-destructed half of the sand grains he had transformed into, forming a large amount of Dao blood that landed on the scissors.

Crack.

Cutting off one's karma, cutting off one's traces, cutting off time, and even using the source of the scissors itself.

At the next instant, everything in the surroundings became blurry with Transient Evil's perception. When everything became clear again, he had already left the area of the desert. With the power of the scissors, he forcefully teleported and appeared in a swamp in an unknown area.

As soon as he appeared, he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood.

Before the blood could fall, he instantly grabbed it, wiping it away.

He couldn't leave any traces.

The terror in his eyes was extremely obvious.

"What level of god is that… Just a little more and he would know everything about me!!"

Transient Evil's breathing was hurried. On this escape, the situations he encountered became increasingly dangerous and bizarre. Even though he was a Ruler, he still sensed the danger to his life.

At that moment, before he could see his surroundings clearly, his already turbulent heart suddenly churned again.

This was because… in this swamp, the water was fluctuating, the mud was shaking, the withered trees in the surroundings were swaying, and the insects in the mud were twisting.

All things seemed to have gained a will.

There wasn't much will, as though it was only instincts. However, this instinct… was to search for him and Xu Qing.

Hence, in the perception of Transient Evil, the feeling of danger erupted once again.

He didn't have time to think and could only activate the source power of the scissors again. His figure was instantly cut off and he disappeared without a trace.

After teleporting several times, as the cracks on the scissors increased, the mentally and physically exhausted Transient Evil finally appeared on a bare mountain that looked like a lonely tomb.

At this point, the palpitations slowly dissipated.

However, his heart was like the ground that had been baked by the scorching sun. It was incomparably dry and cracked, and it was enveloped by anxiety.

Xu Qing's divine sense also conveyed over at this moment.

"Your time is running out."

"Shut up!" This time, after experiencing many dangers, Transient Evil finally couldn't help but reply.

Although it was just two words, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly gleamed.

He got his answer.

"Looks like your time… is really running out."

Transient Evil's expression was gloomy as he severed Xu Qing's divine sense. Killing intent rose in his heart.

"Then let's see if I'll refine you first or if they will find me first!"

With that, he was about to leave the mountain when endless clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

It was like an ocean that was churning over.

In the clouds, one could faintly see a huge baby crawling rapidly.

The vast heavenly might descended at this moment. Accompanying it were the cries of the baby calling out for its father.

The sound carried anger.

As this voice echoed, the laws trembled and the rules prostrated.

Transient Evil's eyes widened as he cried out involuntarily.

"Heavenly Dao!"

As he inhaled, he activated the scissors again, forming an separating force. The scissors cut the senses again, and cracking sounds rang out from it.

Now, there were so many cracks on it that it looked on the verge of falling apart. Transient Evil disappeared again.

When he reappeared, he had completely lost his way. He could only rely on his instincts and speed all the way. During this time, he heard the cries of the baby and sensed gods' auras many times. Every time, he couldn't care less about his heartache as he activated the power of the scissors.

At the same time, he spat out blood again and again.

On the eighth day of his escape, he, who was exhausted to the extreme, arrived at an area.

There was no almighty being's divine sense here, no cries of a baby, and no mumblings of gods. There was only… a bamboo forest that spanned five thousand kilometers.

A red bamboo forest!

A cool breeze blew past and the bamboo forest swayed like a red sea. The sound that came with its swaying was not the rustling of leaves but rather the soft, whispering noise of wind sweeping through a desert, stirring up grains of sand.

Accompanying this sound was a ballad that caused Transient Evil's mind to collapse.

"Five kilometers of sand, search and seek,

Fifty kilometers of marsh, trawl and peek,

Five hundred kilometers of graves, run and flee,

Five thousand kilometers of bamboo, you'll be found,

Transient Evil, Transient Evil, where are you,

I will wait here until I find you."

This ballad was like heavenly lightning. At the same time that Transient Evil's mind collapsed, a god walked over from the bamboo sea.

Because of His arrival, the sky shone with red light.

Because of His appearance, the ground emitted red fog.

Time was dyed red by His arrival.

All the redness came from the sky and time, gathering into a red robe!

It was a handsome middle-aged man, with long flowing hair, each strand glistening with light. The divine aura emanating from Him made the sun and moon pale in comparison.

This god was called Jade Flowing Dust!

He walked step by step to the trembling Transient Evil and chuckled.

"Transient Evil, Transient Evil, where are you? I will wait here until I find you."

Transient Evil's mind completely collapsed and he lost all resistance. Even his thoughts stopped at this moment.

Only the ballad kept echoing in his mind, confirming everything he had experienced on his way here.

Simultaneously, in the endless void, a procession of countless clay figures, carrying a shrine, walked through time. Their destination was the bamboo forest where Jade Flowing Dust was located.

Erniu was among the mud figures, fiddling with the heavenly vine, sensing the direction.

"Useless Niu, you don't have to torture your thin vine anymore. I already know Xu Qing's location."

A lazy voice emanated from within the shrine.
