Outside Of Time

612 Stress Response



Xu Qing reacted almost at the instant the straw hat cultivator's words rang out.

He immediately retreated, and pinched the disorder teleportation talisman he had been holding since six days ago. There was no pause, as though he was already about to do this.

However, no teleportation fluctuations spread out. The surrounding world seemed to have frozen at this moment, causing all the teleportation power to be instantly sealed!

Xu Qing's disorder teleportation talisman was of a high grade, and could ignore space seals under normal circumstances, unless… the other party had gathered information to specifically target him. They had planned for a long time and prepared a higher-grade space sealing item.

However, Xu Qing's heart didn't stir at all, nor was his thoughts affected by the fact that he couldn't teleport. He continued to retreat.

As he retreated, the eight Heavenly Palaces in his body circulated fiercely. Three canopies appeared above his head. One was the Rainbow Wind Song that protected his body, one was the black umbrella that protected his soul, and the other was the Nether Spirit Blood Wing that enhanced his speed.

The image of the Purple Moon appeared in his pupils. The Poison Restriction Pill erupted from his entire body and the image of the Ghost Emperor Mountain appeared behind him, emitting monstrous might.

There was also the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur that appeared in the sky and roared.

With this roar, the power of the Heavenly Dao spread out, causing the shackles in this area to loosen greatly.

Xu Qing's reaction was too fast. From the moment he sensed the enemy's appearance until now, he used all the methods he had instantly.

At that moment, he rose into the air and tried to escape this sealed area that was weakened by the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur.

The expression of the straw hat cultivator changed. He let out a cold snort and stepped out, heading straight for the sky. His right hand formed a seal and pressed down on the sky.

Immediately, countless runes manifested around him, imprinting the sky and cutting off Xu Qing's escape.

Xu Qing's expression was ugly. As his body swayed, he changed directions and attempted to forcefully teleport.

However, the straw hat cultivator took out a handful of sand and threw it in all directions. The shackles here were immediately augmented and the space froze even more, blocking Xu Qing's teleportation.

This wasn't the end. This straw hat cultivator had clearly been preparing for a long time. At this moment, in order to prevent any accidents, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

The blood rose into the air and transformed into a golden curtain that enveloped the sky.

The sky rumbled and the shackles that had been severely weakened by the mosasaur's Heavenly Dao, instantly stabilized.

After doing this, he looked at Xu Qing and said with a hoarse voice.

"Xu Qing, long time no see."

"You can't escape. No one will disturb us for the time being."

As he spoke, this person took off the straw hat, revealing the face of a middle-aged man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life. The most eye-catching thing was his eyes. Regardless of whether it was his pupils or the whites of his eyes, they had all turned light golden.

His golden eyes gave off a holy feeling, and at this instant, an aura of divinity spread out from his body.

He was Saintly Star's father, Chu Tianqun!

He was also the last god specimen that Crown Prince Purple Green had left in the Yinghuang Province!

Back then, when Xu Qing and the others left the Eight Sects Alliance, Chu Tianqun had sworn an oath before the grave of his son that he would kill Xu Qing.

However, Xu Qing never left the county capital. He couldn't find an opportunity and it was extremely risky to infiltrate the Sword Holding Palace.

Hence, he had been waiting in the surrounding territory of the county capital. When Xu Qing went out with Kong Xianglong's group, he originally planned to make a move. However, for some reason, the terrifying large bird, Qingqin, suddenly appeared and heavily injured him for no reason.

Although he had escaped, his injuries were extremely serious and had yet to fully recover.

He refused to give up, despite the high price he had paid to keep track of Xu Qing's whereabouts. When he recently learned that Xu Qing had left his location, he didn't hesitate to expend his divinity to cast a divine art. Using Xu Qing's name and the blood and hair items he had previously collected as an exclusive medium, he was able to divine Xu Qing's location.

Unless Xu Qing kept using methods to conceal himself, his location would always be divined.

As he looked at Xu Qing, Chu Tianqun's eyes were filled with dense malice and killing intent. He felt that the reason why Saintly Star was in such a miserable state in the end wasn't only because of his father but also because of Xu Qing.

Most importantly, Xu Qing had killed his beloved son.

This intense hatred had tormented his heart day and night. He smiled sinisterly at Xu Qing.

When he thought about how he was about to take revenge for his beloved son and how he was about to cruelly torture and kill this damn Xu Qing, a sense of joy rose in his heart.

Xu Qing's expression changed as he stared at Chu Tianqun in front of him. He recognized him at a glance and also saw the golden light in his eyes and the divinity in the surroundings.

Back then, Xu Qing didn't forget the powerful strength Saintly Star displayed as a god specimen. He continued to retreat, while circulating all the Heavenly Palaces in his body.

Seeing that Xu Qing was about to escape, Chu Tianqun laughed loudly.

"You're just a Golden Core cultivator. Under the imprisonment of my divinity, where can you escape to?"

As he spoke, Chu Tianqun waved his hands and circulated his cultivation base. An early-stage Nascent Soul fluctuation spread out violently from his body.

The surroundings rumbled and the ground shook from the intense energy.

He then pounced on Xu Qing like an eagle. Due to his speed, he instantly got close.

Xu Qing's expression was grim. However, after sensing the other party's cultivation, he couldn't help but be stunned when he compared him to the Pawns in Area C.

"Early-stage Nascent Soul realm?"

Xu Qing was puzzled but it instantly turned into vigilance. He felt that there was something wrong here. It was impossible for the other party to be only at the early-stage Nascent Soul realm.

After all, back then, Saintly Star had displayed astonishing strength as a semi-finished god specimen. As the father of Saintly Star, Chu Tianqun was naturally stronger. In his memory, the other party had been at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm two years ago.

Slowly, madness rose in Xu Qing's eyes.

'The Heavenly Dao Mosasaur can break through the shackles of this place but it will require time!'

'Although I'm not his match… I can only go all out!'

The madness in Xu Qing's eyes became obvious. At this moment, he was very clear that he had to stake everything to stall for time. Hence, the instant Chu Tianqun rushed over, the qi and blood in Xu Qing's body churned. Eight Heavenly Palaces circulated madly and the Golden Crow rose. Even after forming the combat strength of nine palaces, his strength was still increasing.

Finally, it stopped when he was infinitely close to the combat strength of ten palaces.

Chu Tianqun got close.

The two sides collided in mid-air.

A shocking rumbling sound rang out. Amidst the intense rumbling, Xu Qing took a few steps back while Chu Tianqun also retreated. Disbelief appeared in his eyes.

'Still pretending!' Xu Qing was highly vigilant and completely revealed his trump card.

The poison of the Third Heavenly Palace was released unprecedentedly from his body, crazily venting in all directions. Wherever it passed, the surrounding space instantly distorted.

As the space was permeated by the power of the Poison Restriction, anomalous substances that belonged to Xu Qing were also born in this area. They formed an invasive power and combined with the power of the Poison Restriction, they killed everything.

Chu Tianqun was immediately enveloped by the power of the Poison Restriction. He was invaded by the surrounding anomalous substances and his body rotted.

This scene caused Chu Tianqun's expression to change. He quickly performed a series of hand seals with both hands and golden light flashed in his eyes. The divinity fluctuations in his body spread out and resisted the invasion with all his might.

'Even at this point, he's still pretending!' Xu Qing's heart sank. He felt that the other party must be preparing some shocking method or was teasing him.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and continued to use his full strength.

The Golden Crow appeared behind him and dozens of tails swept out, causing flames to rise.

The Golden Crow used all its strength and charged straight for Chu Tianqun!

This wasn't the end. The black iron stick also flew out. The eyes of the Diamond Sect's ancestor revealed a determination to die as he sensed Xu Qing's madness.

He spared no expense in erupting endless red tribulation lightning that headed straight for Chu Tianqun.

The shadow was also using all its strength.

It rapidly spread out from under Xu Qing's feet and enveloped an area of 5,000 feet in the surroundings, causing this place that was filled with the aura of Poison Restriction to also transform into its Shadow Domain. Countless eyes opened in the domain, revealing red and crazed gazes as they stared fixedly at Chu Tianqun.

"Die! Die! Die!!"

Endless roars rang out from the Shadow Domain, transforming into a vicious curse that enveloped Chu Tianqun.

All of this was like a violent storm, surging toward Chu Tianqun with absolute determination.

Chu Tianqun's expression completely changed at this moment. He quickly performed a series of hand seals and used his divine abilities to defend. However, the poison in the surroundings was too strong and Xu Qing's methods were too many. In an instant, he had to retreat.

"That's not right. He's so strong but he is still retreating. He's going to unleash his trump card!"

Xu Qing gritted his teeth and firmly clenched his right hand behind his back.. As he chanted inwardly, he suddenly slashed at Chu Tianqun, as though he was holding an invisible sword hilt.

The resulting slash caused the world to shift colors, and the winds and clouds to churn with ferocity. The resplendent sword light, carrying with it an aura of unparalleled strength, surged toward Chu Tianqun with overwhelming force.

From afar, the sword light in front of Xu Qing transformed into a magnificent sword, emanating a sovereign aura that was truly domineering. It was as though an emperor had descended, wielding his sword to vanquish evil and restore order to the world.

This was the Emperor Sword!

Before the Emperor Sword landed, the Purple Moon Heavenly Palace in Xu Qing's body trembled intensely. In an instant, the Purple Moon manifested in the pupils in his eyes and transformed into a beam of purple light that hit the face of Chu Tianqun.

They gathered into the shape of a moon!

Xu Qing was already prepared for the other party to use his trump card. At that moment, the veins on his forehead bulged and he waved his hands and pointed. Immediately, the power of the Purple Moon erupted on Chu Tianqun's face and the Emperor Sword landed at the same time.

Chu Tianqun let out a mournful cry and his body rumbled as though it was about to collapse.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and his body instantly turned blurry. He fused with the shadow in exchange for extreme physical strength.

At that moment, his terrifying body that had surpassed ten palaces had a speed that was truly comparable to lightning. He rushed toward Chu Tianqun with his dagger and was ready to face his trump card.

His dagger directly slit open Chu Tianqun's neck.

In an instant, Chu Tianqun's head flew up and his tattered and tortured body fell to the ground.

Xu Qing panted as he stood there warily. When he saw this scene, he was stunned.

"Dead?"
