Outside Of Time Chapter 357 - 357 Worth It!

Chapter 357 - 357 Worth It!

357 Worth It!
Saintly Star’s voice stopped abruptly as his life rapidly flowed away.
Xu Qing was still worried. After he extracted his bone hand, he wanted to slit open Saintly Star’s neck.
He wanted to tear Saintly Star’s body apart to prevent him from reviving due to some inexplicable method. However, at this moment, a rainbow suddenly erupted from the glazed life lantern in his right hand.
This rainbow appeared extremely suddenly and directly rose into the air. The Taboo projection of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect seemed to come from the same source, so it didn’t stop it. Even the eye of the Seven Blood Eyes’ magic treasure couldn’t stop it, causing the rainbow to head straight for the sky and explode.
It formed a huge vortex.
The blood-colored vortex rumbled as it rotated, emitting a soul-stirring and terrifying aura. A furious roar came from the vortex.
“Who dares to hurt my grandson!!”
The magic treasure projection of the Seven Blood Eyes dissipated under this roar. The Taboo projection below also instantly dissipated. The surrounding seal was opened and Xu Qing’s figure was revealed.
His expression changed as he felt a huge force coming from the life lantern in his hand. It struggled to rush into the vortex in the sky but was held back by Xu Qing. This was an item he had painstakingly obtained after using everything he had. This was his supreme treasure!
Since he didn’t have enough fingers to hold it tightly, Xu Qing simply bit it and held it tightly.
Following the shout from the sky, a hand stretched out from the vortex!
This hand was withered and wrinkled. It carried decay and vicissitudes and was incomparably huge, as though it could blot out the sky. The moment it appeared, the sky dimmed and the world lost its color. The entire world seemed to have stopped.
A supreme might descended into the world with the appearance of the large hand.
Saintly Star’s dying body instantly disappeared and appeared in the vortex in the sky.
The shadow shuddered and instantly fled.
The large hand ignored everything and grabbed at Xu Qing below.
Xu Qing’s entire body trembled intensely and his blood flowed out from the edges of the life lantern that he was biting. His vision became blurry and his entire body cracked and fractured. More blood flowed out and a sense of death descended on his mind.
He couldn’t dodge or evade.
The vortex hand was an absolute executioner.
Cultivation base, schemes, and preparations were useless at this moment. The huge difference in the cultivation base transformed into despair.
However, at this moment!
From the depths of the Phoenix Forbidden, a sharp cry suddenly rang out. This cry was like the cry of an eagle or a phoenix.
It caused the world to change colors and huge cracks to appear in the sky.
Amidst the deafening sound, the cracks tore open the blood-colored vortex, stopping the large hand that was stretching out.
From the depths of the Phoenix Forbidden, a majestic voice that was like the might of heaven rang out.
“Nihility cannot enter this emperor’s forbidden region. Scram!”
As soon as the voice arrived, the blood-colored vortex in the sky was directly torn apart. A muffled groan of pain rang out from the vortex, and three fingers of the withered hand instantly collapsed.
Xu Qing’s entire body trembled. As the life-and-death crisis dissipated, the rainbow glazed lantern he was biting tightly shook violently.
The human-shaped runes that contained the laws of heaven and earth instantly blurred. With cracking sounds, they directly broke off and were completely erased.
After losing the runes, the struggle of the life lantern disappeared. Xu Qing could sense that it was truly ownerless now.
At the same time, from the vortex in the sky, a mournful shout rang out after the muffled groan. However, it was only a shout. The hand that had lost three fingers retracted unwillingly.
However, before it returned, a voice rang out from the vortex.
“You failed to uphold your duty, so you should be sentenced to death. But if you kill this kid and bring back the life lantern, I’ll spare your lives!”
Cracks instantly erupted in the sky and swept across the vortex. It was like countless sharp blades were sweeping across, causing the vortex to collapse and dissipate.
The instant the world recovered, Xu Qing’s breathing became hurried. He put away the wish box on the ground and turned around without any hesitation. He then unleashed his full speed and fled crazily.
He didn’t have time to think too much at this moment. This was because the instant the vortex collapsed, he sensed three Golden Core auras suddenly descend from afar. They towered into the sky and rapidly approached him with endless madness and anger.
The identities of these three Golden Core auras were self-evident. They were none other than Saintly Star’s Dao Protectors.
As for the terrifying existence in the vortex, it must be the ancestor of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. Although he was ordered to retreat by the voice from the depths of the Phoenix Forbidden, he was still able to teleport the three Dao Protectors of Saintly Star.
He couldn’t descend himself but the thought of killing Xu Qing and snatching back the life lantern was intense.
Xu Qing had no time to care about the voice from the depths of the Phoenix Forbidden, Saintly Star’s life and death, and what he should do next.
He was sprinting at full speed and the purple crystal in his body was working with all its power. His eyes revealed ruthlessness as he grabbed the rainbow glazed lantern tightly.
As he fled crazily, Xu Qing’s eyes showed madness.
This time, he had narrowly escaped death and had used everything he had, but his gains were the same.
The value of the life lantern was indescribable!
“It’s worth it!!” Xu Qing gritted his teeth and directly began to refine the rainbow glazed lantern.
He didn’t have the time to slowly fuse with it. With three Golden Cores chasing after him, he needed to increase his strength and speed up the recovery of his injuries.
Hence, he couldn’t care less and didn’t have the time to examine the life lantern. He could only bet on his senses. The life fires in his body burned and rose.
As the flames on his body burned and were released, they enveloped the rainbow glazed lantern. Immediately, the lantern shone brightly. However, Xu Qing didn’t encounter any obstacles and directly fused the flames into it, imprinting his mark!
This lantern had indeed become an ownerless item following the majestic voice in the Phoenix Forbidden.
As it burned, the rainbow light flowed like water and entered Xu Qing’s body through the pores on his body. The process wasn’t painful but comfortable. After they entered, these streams of light gathered above Xu Qing’s dantian and in his sea of consciousness.
As they gathered, they formed into a rainbow glazed lantern!
The body of the glazed lantern was exquisite and looked luxurious with its rainbow colors. The feeling of time permeated around it, giving off an ancient feeling.
Looking from the surface, Xu Qing’s black umbrella life lantern wasn’t inferior at all.
Not only was it exquisite, but the ancient charm was also the same. At this moment, they were standing side by side and reflected each other, emitting an extremely resplendent light.
Black and rainbow light spread around them, causing Xu Qing’s heavenly palace to be faintly discernible!
From the outside, one could see rainbow light erupt from Xu Qing’s body and looked like a rainbow Daoist robe. When it enveloped his entire body, two canopies appeared above his head.
One was black and emitted endless flames to protect the soul.
One was rainbow-colored that covered his entire body and protected his body.
One canopy was already extremely rare, and two canopies were majestic and noble!
Under the two canopies, although Xu Qing was in a sorry state, a peerless intent spread out from him.
At the same time that the rainbow glazed life lantern fused into his body, Xu Qing placed a ball of life fire on it. In an instant, the light of the life fire shook the heavens and the earth.
It was as though lightning had exploded in Xu Qing’s mind. His cultivation base rose crazily. Under the burning of the two life lanterns in his body, his life fires burned with an unprecedented intensity.
It was no longer like a world was burning in him. Instead, it was like a large world had turned into purgatory in his body.
With the enhancement of the life lanterns, Xu Qing’s combat strength instantly rose from the five fires to the level of six fires!
Such combat strength would be under utmost attention among the Foundation Building cultivators even in the Yinghuang Province.
This was Saintly Star’s strongest state previously. At this moment, it belonged to Xu Qing!
As Xu Qing fled crazily in the forbidden region, the anger and killing intent of the three Golden Core Dao Protectors behind him filled the air. On the Wanggu Continent, in the Seven Sects Alliance, a monstrous shout rang out from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.
“How dare a commoner snatch my sect’s life lantern!!” This ancient voice belonged to the Soaring Cloud Ancestor.
After his shout, a ray of rainbow light that caused the surroundings to tremble and the Forbidden Sea to surge intensely soared into the sky from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.
One could see an old man in golden robes in the rainbow light.
This white-haired old man’s energy fluctuations shook the surroundings. With a wave of his hand, streams of sword qi soared into the sky from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, transforming into figures that accompanied him in the surroundings. They directly flew toward the Forbidden Sea and rushed aggressively in the direction of the Nanhuang Continent’s Seven Blood Eyes.
Wherever they passed, the Forbidden Sea would shake intensely, especially because of the Soaring Cloud Ancestor whose realm was the same as Xue Lianzi’s, the first stage of the Nihility Realm.
Right now, his anger could burn the sea. His entire body emitted endless sword qi, causing the seawater of the Forbidden Sea to collapse. Countless sea beasts trembled and all the nearby races were terrified.
Thunder rumbled in the sky and space shattered. This was an almighty going out to sea!
At the same time, in the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes, Old Master Seventh was sitting in the pavilion and playing chess with his servant.
However, he had been holding the chess piece in his hand for a long time. If the time was counted, it seemed that he had been holding it since the moment Xu Qing and Saintly Star fought.
The servant wasn’t in a hurry and waited silently.
After a long time, Old Master Seventh calmly stood up and spoke.
“I’m not playing anymore.”
“I’ll go and bring Old Fourth back before playing this piece.”
As he spoke, Old Master Seventh placed his hands behind his back and took a step into the void, walking toward the Phoenix Forbidden.
He had a head full of white hair and eyes that had stars in them.
He wore a purple robe and his back was tall like a mountain.
He was old but his body was hale and strong.
