Outside Of Time

The captain's eyes revealed a strange glint.

"That's right, the tempering of the soul. This tribulation's effect on it should be very good ."

"I want to give it a try." After Xu Qing thought about it, he calmly spoke.

"In fact, there's another method; you can hide in your small world," the captain licked his lips. He was quite interested in the idea proposed by Xu Qing.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing found it to be reasonable. So, the two of them discussed for a while and found a nearby valley to make their preparations.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu watched the two of them discussing this the entire time. They found it unbelievable and started conversing.

"Why do I feel that they're courting death again?"

"Be more confident and remove the word 'feel'…" Ning Yan sighed and quickly left the valley. He had a bad feeling but before he could run far, his premonition came true.

A suction force erupted from the valley, enveloping him and pulling him in.

"Junior Brother, we still have a weapon. With this weapon, you can be more confident."

The captain's voice echoed in the valley. Wu Jianwu shivered and quickly left. When he was ten thousand feet away, he hid in a depression and looked at the distant valley. He then heard a huge boom coming from the sky.

This thunder was so loud that it seemed to explode everything in the sky, as though a god was roaring angrily in the sky.

Wu Jianwu took a deep breath and retreated another ten thousand feet before he felt a little more at ease.

At that moment, the changes in the sky were even more terrifying. A huge vortex rumbled and appeared. Countless bolts of lightning swam inside and finally gathered together, forming a lightning dragon.

Under Wu Jianwu's shocking gaze, the lightning dragon roared angrily and rushed toward the valley.

At the next moment, the ground quaked and the valley was instantly enveloped by the lightning dragon. Mountain rocks collapsed and countless lightning bolts spread out on the ground, turning this place into a lightning pool.

Vaguely, Ning Yan's blood-curdling screams could be heard.

Wu Jianwu's scalp went numb. When he retreated again, the vortex in the sky spun even more vastly. The second lightning was drawn from all directions. Even the lightning pool on the ground rose and connected to the sky.

Looking around, the lightning in this area continued to arrive one after another until they all converged, crashing down once again towards the collapsing valley.

The ground cracked.

Wu Jianwu was also affected by it, and his hair stood on end as he ran desperately.

And so, the lightning struck time and time again, with the area it covered growing larger and the thunder becoming more deafening. This continued for seven days.

Finally, when the area within 500 kilometers turned into dry and charred soil, the last bolt of lightning arrived. It actually transformed into a huge lightning spear that pierced through the sky and headed straight for the ground.

More fissures spread throughout the land.

Wu Jianwu, who was 500 kilometers away, trembled when he saw all of this.

At that moment, he was certain of one thing. Xu Qing's madness wasn't inferior to Chen Erniu's. In fact, it was even worse in some places.

"No, I have to leave. If I follow Chen Erniu, I'll feel like I'm constantly walking on the edge of life and death. Now, with this Xu Qing added, I am no longer walking on the edge of life and death, I'm walking on the path of death!"

Wu Jianwu's eyes were filled with determination as he turned and ran.

In order not to be found, he even changed directions many times. However, after running for a few days, a familiar figure appeared behind him and a voice called out.

"Big Jianjian, stop running. Don't be afraid. Haha, it's over."

Wu Jianwu wailed inwardly and pretended not to hear as he sped up. However, in the end, he was still not as fast as the captain. After three to five breaths of time, the captain's figure appeared behind Wu Jianwu, pressing down on his shoulder.

Wu Jianwu turned his head with a long face and saw the captain's hateful face that was filled with smiles.

The captain didn't mind Wu Jianwu's expression at all. He went up and put his hand around the latter's neck enthusiastically.

"Big Jianjian, why are you running? Aren't you my good friend? This place is very dangerous. We're from the same hometown. It's safer to follow us. If it wasn't for Little Ningning sensing your tracks, I would have really left you alone."

When Wu Jianwu heard this, he glared angrily at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan was held in the captain's hand as he smiled at Wu Jianwu. He had a look that said, 'Don't even think about leaving me to suffer alone.'

Wu Jianwu was fuming. At that moment, he also noticed the pale-faced and weak Xu Qing behind the captain.

Xu Qing's clothes were already tattered and his hair was disheveled. However, his spirit was very good and the aura on his body was clearly stronger than before.

However, right now, his walking was a little shaky and lightning occasionally drilled out of his body.

The might of the lightning tribulation earlier was so great that when Xu Qing recalled it, his heart palpitated.

Fortunately, with the small world, when he couldn't hold on any longer, he would retreat into it, recover, and then rush out to endure the lightning tribulation again, with the captain assisting from outside.

Even so, Xu Qing still reached his limit many times. He finally endured this torture to the end and successfully survived this strengthened tribulation, obtaining even more heavenly mandates.

More importantly, under the baptism of the lightning, his soul was clearly much stronger than before.

"This way, after enduring the fifth tribulation, my soul will no longer be weak!"

Xu Qing gritted his teeth.

With Wu Jianwu's return, the group was complete again and they quickly headed toward the Heavenly Bull Mountain.

It was unknown how the captain coaxed him on the way, but Wu Jianwu finally agreed. A smile appeared on his face and he started reciting poems.

However, he was very angry with Ning Yan and didn't say a word to him.
