Outside Of Time

”Thus we followed no fixed laws or rules. We comprehended the source of Profound Earth—external anchor points of Profound Earth’s rules, acting as its emissaries to gather annihilation power through Profound Earth’s ascension!”

”Therefore... we became Immortals of Profound Earth!”

With this declaration, Old Master Seventh’s finger transformed into a palm that slammed down violently!

The earth quaked as if the entire foundation of Brilliant Heaven would crumble—not literally, but the tremors released even more of that alien aura.

Strands of mist—initially invisible—condensed into tangible fog that rose from the ground in all directions.

Before Xu Qing’s eyes, the mist coalesced into a mirage-like spectacle across the sky...

The very image he’d once seen in the Summer Immortal Palace—

The Profound Earth Star Ring!

Its entire cosmos, every realm!

The vision flowed into Old Master Seventh, merging with him and elevating his aura to terrifying heights as auspicious light radiated from his form.

Yet Xu Qing saw clearly—this empowerment was like a castle in the air, not truly intrinsic.

Unless... that mirage became reality.

Otherwise, it was merely temporary.

”This... is the Immortal of Profound Earth!”

Old Master Seventh gazed at Xu Qing and sighed softly.

”But alas, as our understanding grew, we realized the terror of the upper star rings. Brilliant Heaven was just a small part.”

”This is a world of gods. Profound Earth could never rise, and our path led nowhere.”

”So my master and his comrades chose to venture outward.”

”They sought to explore the upper star rings and find a way forward... while I remained in Wanggu.”

His voice carried deep melancholy.

”Becoming perhaps... the last Immortal of Profound Earth.”

”Because Brilliant Heaven is closer to Profound Earth, my combat power here reaches its peak!”

”This was also where I originally planned to wage my life-and-death battle against that existence!”

”Now, using it on this Brilliant Heaven God Emperor... isn’t a waste!”

As he spoke, Old Master Seventh’s eyes blazed with swirling galaxies—within which the entirety of Profound Earth manifested—before his right hand descended toward the worm-covered corpse below!
