Outside Of Time

658 Gaining Without Effort!

In the abyssal sea, the place where the god’s finger had attempted possession was dead silent.

The anomalous substances here were extremely dense, resulting in distorted surroundings. This caused this area to gradually become a forbidden zone.

The source of this forbidden zone was a towering body that stood in the depths.

This body was 3,000 feet tall and looked like a demonic god.

It didn’t have any clothes on its body and was standing naked. Clouds and fog flowed around it. It seemed lifeless, like an inanimate object. However, the runes etched on its skin emitted a faint, elusive light, oscillating between darkness and brilliance. These ancient symbols exuded an ancient aura, infusing a semblance of vitality into its otherwise motionless form.

The faintly visible muscular body amidst the fog gave a sense of facing a giant mountain, with broad shoulders that seemed capable of shouldering the sky. The perfect proportions and powerful aura, along with the handsome and somewhat devilish face, all gave off a sense of evilness in this fog of anomalous substances.

It exuded a fatal attraction.

As time passed, this demonic god-like body slowly emitted a rainbow-colored glow.

At the start, this light was still weak but it gradually became brighter and more resplendent. In the end, multicolored light spread from it, creating a holy intent around this demonic god body.

All of this caused this body to be a perfect fusion of evil and holy.

After a long time, this huge body shook slightly and slowly began to disintegrate.

First, it was its head, then the neck, then body and limbs. It was as though its armor had been removed, transforming into countless flesh and blood threads that returned to the interior of the body, Xu Qing’s body.

A long time later, when all the flesh and blood threads fused into Xu Qing’s body, the 3,000-foot-long demonic god’s body disappeared. Xu Qing, who was standing there, suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a hint of confusion. Everything before had happened in his sea of consciousness. Now that he was awake, it was as though he had woken up from a dream.

The instant he opened his eyes, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

However, he didn’t show any signs of being injured. Instead, a sense of transparency filled every part of his body. There were also waves of physical strength that far exceeded what he had before that filled Xu Qing’s entire body at this instant.

As it continued to burst forth, Xu Qing’s breathing hastened slightly. The confusion in his eyes also quickly dissipated.

“My body…” Xu Qing lowered his head. After sensing his body, his heart beat wildly for a while.

This body made him feel familiar but also unfamiliar. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he moved forward. He actually broke through the air, causing a sharp sound of air being torn apart and appeared thousands of feet away in the blink of an eye.

This speed was extremely astonishing.

As for the place he was at earlier, there was still an afterimage that was slowly dissipating.

“My speed…” Xu Qing took a deep breath, visibly moved.

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. His right hand clenched into a fist and punched forward.

He clearly didn’t use any spells, but just the strength of his body caused a vortex to appear in the void in front of him. As a rumbling sound erupted, a storm exploded in all directions in front of him. Everything in its way was destroyed.

Xu Qing’s pupils contracted and a huge commotion rose in his mind. He could clearly sense that his body was extremely different from before.

Not only did his speed and strength increase by a large extent, but even his toughness had increased. His resistance to attacks seemed to be different from before.

It was as though his entire body had undergone a tremendous transformation in this short period of time.

His physical body’s level had changed.

Xu Qing’s heartbeat sped up and waves of thumping sounds rang out from his chest, echoing in all directions. He circulated his Poison Restriction Pill, causing it to spread throughout his body, testing the tolerance of this body to divine power.

Very soon, Xu Qing realized that his body had adapted to the Poison Restriction.

In the past, when he used the Poison Restriction, his body would be corroded as well. However, with his resistance and control, the corrosion wasn’t too serious. In addition, with the recovery ability of the purple crystal, he was able to offset the corrosion.

This offset only lasted if he used it for a short time, but if he used Poison Restriction for a long time, he would be in danger as well.

However, now that he sensed his body, he clearly sensed that this flaw had almost disappeared.

His current body was more suitable for him to unleash the power of the Poison Restriction.

Xu Qing then tried the Purple Moon and discovered that this body could withstand more when displaying the power of the Purple Moon.

It was as though this body was originally prepared to adapt to the god’s power.

“Divine body…” Xu Qing mumbled as this term appeared in his mind.

After that, he cast other spells one after another. After verifying them one by one, Xu Qing finally confirmed that the changes to his body this time were comprehensive.

This fortune made him extremely excited, but he also had a feeling of gaining without putting any effort. However, he quickly dispelled this thought and muttered.

“I risked a lot to get this!”

“Moreover, this state shouldn’t be a true god’s body yet…” Xu Qing recalled the 3000-foot-long outer shell in his memory and perception before he woke up. He then looked into his current body and sensed a large number of golden threads in his body.

There were endless golden threads that permeated every part of his body. Every one of them contained a sense of holiness. Xu Qing could sense that they were harmless and could be controlled.

The source of control wasn’t spells or cultivation. Only the power of the Poison Restriction and the Purple Moon could control them.

However, he couldn’t make these golden threads leave his body and form the outer shell.

“From the looks of it, the 3,000-foot-long outer shell previously was the true body of a god. However, it’s a pity that I’m unable to form it now…” Xu Qing muttered inwardly. He knew that this was because the divine power in his body wasn’t enough.

“The god’s finger prepared it for Itself.” Xu Qing’s divine sense swept past the Tenth Heavenly Palace in his sea of consciousness.

In D132’s cage, the blood-colored finger was lying there, sleeping.

It was as though it was too lonely inside, so It couldn’t sleep well. Occasionally, it would tremble a few times.

“It’s a pity that I can’t control it, but one day, I’ll be able to control the purple crystal and completely seal it. I’ll be able to control it like a shadow.”

Xu Qing’s thoughts weren’t restricted by what he had said to the finger previously. His master had once imparted this point to him. At that time, they had gone to many sects to steal secret manuals and spells. Before they left, Old Master Seventh asked Xu Qing to bow to those sects and told him that it could be considered as returning the favor. If they were enemies in the future, he could kill them without worries.

It was the same at this moment.

Xu Qing felt that what his master said made sense. Hence, he cupped his fists and bowed to the front.

Although there was nothing in front of him and it was just fog, Xu Qing understood that some things would work if one was sincere. It mainly depended on sincerity.

If he was sincere, then even if there was nothing in front of him, it was still equivalent to thanking the god’s finger.

This logic was imparted to Xu Qing by Old Master Seventh. Xu Qing felt that it was very right.

However, in order to make the other party sleep more comfortably, Xu Qing looked around after bowing.

After sensing for a moment, his body swayed and he disappeared from the spot, transforming into an afterimage that appeared in the distance.

There was a yellowed painting on the ground.

The old man was the only one left from the four generations in the painting. His expression was filled with horror but he wasn’t lonely. This was because although he was the only one among his race in this painting, there was a malevolent mosasaur beside him that was opening its mouth at him.

Looking at this painting, Xu Qing’s gaze turned cold. He lifted his right hand and grabbed at the air. Immediately, the painting flew up from the ground. When it landed in Xu Qing’s hand, the mosasaur sensed something and quickly flew out of the painting.

After letting out a cry at Xu Qing, it burped and entered Xu Qing’s body, returning to the Sixth Heavenly Palace.

“Get out here!” Xu Qing coldly looked at the painting and calmly spoke.

The mosasaur in the Sixth Heavenly Palace trembled, but it quickly realized that this sentence wasn’t meant for it, so it calmed down.

The old man in the painting shivered even more and didn’t dare to disobey. He quickly crawled out of the painting and transformed into a human, floating in front of Xu Qing and looking at him in horror.

His body couldn’t help but tremble and cold sweat covered his forehead. His eyes were filled with uncertainty.

“You… Are you the chosen god or the guardian?” The old man asked carefully.

He couldn’t tell who the person in front of him was. i????????????????????????. c૦m

Xu Qing was expressionless as he sent a divine sense to the shadow.

The shadow immediately rose from the ground, emitting a terrifying aura. It assumed a sinister posture and bared its fangs and brandished its claws.

That was what it looked like on the surface but in reality, the shadow was extremely terrified. When Xu Qing was being possessed earlier, it had hidden itself. It was somewhat looking forward to the crystal being destroyed by the god…

This way, it might be able to use the opportunity to be free.

However, when the powerful purple crystal suppressed the god’s finger easily, the shadow’s fear instantly reached an extreme and it felt despair.

However, it didn’t want to die yet. Hence, in order to show its loyalty, it hurriedly swallowed its saliva. Countless eyes appeared on its body and all of them stared fixedly at the old man. They were like vicious dogs, letting out threatening growls.

The instant he saw the shadow, the expression of the old man changed drastically and he exclaimed.

“You, you, you… You’re the guardian!!”

“How is this possible? Weren’t you possessed by the god’s finger? How can the god’s possession fail?”

The old man trembled violently. He naturally recognized the shadow. After all, back then, in D132, the shadow was extremely interested in him.

Xu Qing coldly swept his gaze over. The shadow instantly understood and transformed into a vicious dog. It pounced over and bit the old man crazily.

The old man immediately screamed in pain.

Xu Qing didn’t bother with them and walked toward the head and the stone lion.

The heads and the stone lion hadn’t completely recovered yet, so even if they wanted to escape, they couldn’t do it.

The stone lion’s legs hadn’t recovered and the head was only half-grown.

After seeing Xu Qing’s figure, the two of them shook violently.

Just like the old man, they didn’t know if Xu Qing was still Xu Qing. However, the voice of the old man earlier allowed them to make a judgment.

However, this judgment brought about even more fear.

‘Even a god can’t possess him? Heavens…’ The head wanted to cry, especially when it saw the old man being bitten by the shadow and wailing. It hurriedly spoke.

“Congratulations, Lord. I had guessed earlier that a lowly god could never be a match for you. Also, based on how sly the old geezer is, Lord should just kill him!”

“I’m really excited. Our D132 is finally about to have a reunion!” The head had a fawning expression as it quickly spoke.

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor flew out of Xu Qing’s storage bag and reminded him.

“Master, these words aren’t sincere. It looks like it’s trying to curry favor, but the way its eyes are rolling shows that this person is thinking about how to escape. Just like Little Shadow, these guys are all rebellious. Once something happens to Master, they will definitely be the first to gloat at your misfortune. My suggestion is to suppress them thoroughly!”

The head’s expression changed as it looked at the black iron stick. It gasped and was about to refute.

Xu Qing coldly looked at the head. He then lifted his right hand and waved it. Immediately, his Tenth Heavenly Palace manifested outside. It was covered in a layer of purple light which sealed the red light of the Tenth Heavenly Palace within it.

The moment D132 appeared, the head was stunned. Its eyes widened, revealing confusion and disbelief.

“Didn’t you want a reunion? Go in,” Xu Qing calmly said.
