Outside Of Time



It was also the bottom of this part of the abyssal sea.

This eerily silent place was filled with anomalous substances and evil aura. Occasionally, green will-o'-the-wisps would appear in the surroundings.

"After the sun fell, it also emitted anomalous substances…" After Xu Qing sensed the situation, he fell into deep thought. He then sped forward with vigilance.

He knew clearly that there was definitely danger in the abyssal sea where anomalous substances were dense. Many evil creatures would definitely be born here. In reality, this was also the reason why the Morning Glow Province cultivators didn't travel underground.

Just like the Forbidden Sea, no one knew how many terrifying existences there were under the abyssal sea.

Prolonged stay here would cause the danger to surge dramatically.

Other than being vigilant, Xu Qing also used more concealment methods, and rapidly sped toward the canyon.

Four hours later, Xu Qing, who had left the range of Mount Morning Glow's array formation, arrived at his destination.

The so-called canyon was actually a huge chasm at the bottom of the abyss. It was a thousand feet wide and stretched for thousands of feet.

Black fog drifted out of the chasm and fused into the surroundings.

After Xu Qing saw it from afar, he was about to rush over when his expression suddenly changed. He swiftly crouched down, seeking cover behind a large rock, his gaze fixed upon the billowing fog emanating from the distant canyon.

Xu Qing sensed some familiar fluctuations from the fog.

"Delicious… Smoke…" Almost at the same time that Xu Qing probed, the shadow also quickly transmitted its divine sense. When it spread out, the stone lion and the head that were enveloped by it were revealed.

After the two of them appeared, they didn't dare to move at all. The feeling of being eaten that they felt when they were enveloped by the shadow made them tremble in fear.

Xu Qing didn't bother with the lion and the head. He stared at the canyon for a while and noticed that there were indeed figures of the Smoke Race in the fog. However, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he gave the shadow an order and let it spread over to investigate.

The shadow rapidly moved forward on the ground and entered the canyon. Not long later, it returned and expressed what it saw to Xu Qing. However, the expressions were very blurry, as though the things it saw were too complicated.

Even the Diamond Sect's ancestor was somewhat confused.

Xu Qing frowned. He waved his hand and removed the head from the stone lion's tail, tossing it to the shadow.

"Bring it along."

Under the terrified gaze of the head, the shadow swallowed it in one gulp and headed straight for the canyon. When it returned a while later, the head hurriedly spoke.

"Lord, I saw it. They're all from the Smoke Race. There are about a few hundred of them and there are even a few Nascent Soul cultivators among them!"

"They are assembling a magic treasure. After my careful observation, coupled with my rich knowledge, I recognized at a glance that it's a one-time-use item that can interrupt the effect of Taboo magic treasures."

The Diamond Sect's ancestor frowned at the side. His gaze swept past the head and he vaguely felt more danger.

When Xu Qing heard this, he looked at the canyon with a cold gaze.

It wasn't difficult to guess the motive of the Smoke Race who were assembling such a magic treasure near the Mount Morning Glow. Their target was most likely Mount Morning Glow.

This guess was a little rash and there was a chance that it could be used elsewhere.

However… it was fine if he was wrong. It wasn't important to Xu Qing. He already had a bad impression of the Smoke Race. In addition, Mount Morning Glow had a different significance in Xu Qing's heart now.

Hence, he could just destroy the canyon where the Smoke Race was located.

"Since they have Nascent Soul cultivators, it won't be easy for me to kill my way in." Xu Qing waved his right hand. Immediately, the Third Heavenly Palace shook and the power of the Poison Restriction spread out, rapidly spreading in all directions through his body.

After that, he used his perception to sense the direction the cold wind blew from. He silently arrived at a place with a strong wind and released poison again.

Just like that, he used an hour to continuously spread the power of the Poison Restriction. Finally, he calculated and confirmed that it was enough. Killing intent appeared in his eyes as he pointed forward.

Immediately, the poison that filled the surroundings surged and whistled toward the canyon along with countless little black bugs.

In the blink of an eye, all the poison rushed into the canyon.

Very soon, mournful cries and roars rang out from the canyon.

At the same time, in the depths of the abyssal sea that was some distance away, a thousand-foot-long finger was speeding fearlessly. Wherever it passed, all living creatures would be restrained behind it.

There were hundreds of cultivators from various races behind it, unable to escape. All of them had looks of despair.
