Outside Of Time

Chapter 1000 Humanity, Bestiality, Divinity

In the Bitter Life Mountain Range, the wind stopped blowing, the sand stopped moving, and everything was silent.

Only the crimson red sky was like light or blood, constantly churning and spreading, as if the sky was injured, dying the surroundings with blood.

On the roof, the heirʼs voice echoed. In this silent world, he talked about karma related to gods.

”Iʼm not a god, and I donʼt have divine sources in my body.”

”However, I also have authority, but itʼs different from gods… It didnʼt come from the ignition of the divine fire but from the blessing of the Wanggu Heavenly Dao.”

”Therefore, I canʼt help you with how to control your divine source. I can only give you a direction, and that is hunger.”

The heir stared at Xu Qing.

”Hunger?” Xu Qing fell silent. A moment later, he glanced at the captain.

In his memory, every time the captain saw the flesh of gods, he seemed to be extremely hungry.

The captain blinked but didnʼt speak.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

”Xu Qing, we donʼt have much time left.” On the roof, the heir retracted his gaze and looked at the bright red color spreading over from the horizon. He then took a step forward.

At the next instant, his figure disappeared from the world. Xu Qing also disappeared.

The captain wasnʼt surprised by their departure. He stretched lazily and opened his storage bag, rummaging through it.

A long time later, he found an iron box.

ʼThe heir is too anxious…ʼ

The captain muttered inwardly, bit his tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood into his hand, and placed his hand on the iron box.

”No other choice, can only use this. But speaking of it, the old man really predicted it accurately. He gave me this thing just before we left Fenghai County.”

”At that time, he said that this was Fourthʼs anchor…”

”I can only open it with my blood and send it to Fourth when he gets lost.”

The captain glanced at the iron box and wanted to open it in advance. However, he knew how important this item was, so he suppressed his curiosity.

At the same time, in the depths of the green sand desert, in this endless desert, the figures of the heir and Xu Qing appeared from the void.

As soon as he landed, Xu Qing immediately sensed his surroundings.

The distant sand dunes remained motionless, the absence of wind rendering the desert silent. The greenish sand underfoot inexplicably took on a grayish-white hue.

It gave off a feeling of death.

Xu Qing had been here before and knew that it was a desolate land that was several months away from the Bitter Life Mountain Range.

”This place is good enough.”

The heir calmly spoke and looked at Xu Qing.

”Iʼll ask you one last time. Are you sure?”

Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the crimson sky. He sensed the restlessness of the Purple Moonʼs power in his body. It was an urge to leave his body and return to the sky.

Xu Qing didnʼt want to give up on the Purple Moon, so he knew that he actually didnʼt need to make a choice. Hence, he looked at the heir and nodded.

”Good!”

The heirʼs gaze was deep. He lifted his right hand and grabbed at Xu Qing.

No aura spread out, no fluctuations of cultivation, and no aura erupted. However, just this simple grab caused Xu Qingʼs body to tremble.

He could clearly sense that the fire of his life had instantly dimmed. The life force in his body seemed to possess its own will and became an independent entity, turning into fog that rapidly spread out from the surface of his body.

The white fog continuously seeped out, emanating from every inch of Xu Qingʼs body—his pores, his seven apertures—flowing outward, directly towards the right hand of the heir.

In this process, Xu Qingʼs body began to wither, his hair started to wither away, and waves of weakness emerged throughout his entire body, becoming increasingly intense.

A while later, the white fog finished gathering on the heirʼs right hand and he lowered his hand.

Xu Qing staggered and took a few steps back, panting heavily. At this moment, from the outside, he no longer looked like he was 20 years old. He looked more like an old man in his twilight years.

More than half of his hair had fallen off, and the rest had turned gray. His body was as skinny as firewood, and even his cultivation base had become fragile. In fact, his teeth had even loosened.

His eyes also were dim. This was caused by 90% of his life force being extracted.

A feeling of emptiness surfaced in Xu Qingʼs perception, transforming into coldness that caused him to feel hunger.
