Outside Of Time

Chapter 427 - 427 Saintly Star, Dead!

427 Saintly Star, Dead!

This wasn’t the end. Xu Qing chased after Saintly Star with a frenzied killing intent.

At the same time, rumbling sounds filled the sky. Old Master Seventh’ face was grim, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Just like Xu Qing, he wanted to vent the guilt in his heart.

He had been blaming himself all this time. He believed that he had not calculated everything correctly, which was why such an accident had happened.

He felt that it was because he was not capable enough that such a tragedy happened.

He thought that his combat strength was not enough, so when this situation happened, he could not change it.

He hated it. He did not want this to continue. He could not let a similar scene happen to anyone he was familiar with again.

Therefore, his attacks contained the killing intent in his heart, as well as his anger. He did not use any Dao techniques, because they could not allow him to vent his emotions.

He wanted to use his fists to kill everything in front of him.

Heaven and earth rumbled as he attacked. Space shattered, and every punch had the power of a full-out attack by a secret repository cultivator, seemingly capable of suppressing all of eternity.

All of this caused the enormous rock giant to fall back uncontrollably. It let out a miserable howl, and its eyes were filled with terror, as if it were terrified of Old Master Seventh’s battle prowess.

As for its body, it continued to shatter under the relentless attacks of Old Master Seventh. Its left arm collapsed, its legs shattered, and its body broke down… Countless boulders fell to the ground with rumbling sounds.

As for the two core members of Illuminate, their eyes were filled with intense shock, and blood was flowing out of their various wounds.

Their masks had already shattered, and their bodies were severely injured. If not for the fact that most of the power of the attacks had been blocked by the rock giant, they would definitely have died.

“The great circle of the Spirit Repository Realm!!”

The two of them cried out in alarm, their scalps numb. As they watched the rock giant collapse, they quickly retreated.

High up in the sky, Xue Lianzi stood there, watching everything coldly.

With him suppressing the situation, this battle could not go awry.

He was also waiting for Illuminate to come to the rescue or for Illuminate to display even more power. Only then would he strike.

The sky was filled with fights, and so was the ground.

The killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes intensified as he chased after Saintly Star. As for Saintly Star, he continued to retreat unsteadily. He sensed that his 121st magic aperture had collapsed and the eighth illusory Heavenly Palace had dissipated. He laughed bitterly and his gaze became even crazier. An intense hatred rose in him as he stared fixedly at Xu Qing.

He hated Xu Qing to the core!

He was also jealous of Xu Qing, jealous to the extreme!

In the past, he had been the number one heaven’s chosen of this generation in the Alliance. He had gathered countless glory and expectations. To the outside world, he shone brightly. To the Alliance, he suppressed an entire generation.

However, fate was really unfair to him. He was clearly talented and extremely handsome. He should have been born into the light and have an infinitely beautiful future.

But it just so happened that he was born as a conjoined twin!

However, he did not give up. He endured countless looks of contempt and disgust. He worked hard, cultivated, and struggled. In the end, he devoured his younger brother and became complete.

With his own hard work, he surpassed all his peers and reached the peak of his generation.

During this period of time, he experienced all the pain and torture. Only he, who had personally experienced it, could feel it in the depths of the night.

However, around that time, he realized that there was a hint of greed in his grandfather’s eyes. However, he could not refuse his grandfather’s life lantern that had both pros and cons.

Everything that happened after that made him feel that fate was heartless. He had reached the most dazzling level, and he had reached a level of unprecedented beauty in the Alliance.

He had thought that his fate would be better if he did so, but he could see more greed in his grandfather’s eyes.

Saintly Star wasn’t stupid. However, he could only remain silent until his life lantern was taken away by Xu Qing. Although he seemed to be in a miserable state, he had heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. However, never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that he would be valued by the Alliance Leader and was made a host for the Golden Crow.

All of this caused the madness in his heart to reach its limit and start distorting.

He couldn’t resist his grandfather, but he could hate Xu Qing. He couldn’t resist the Alliance Leader, but he could blame Xu Qing.

What right do you, Xu Qing, have to have light in your heart? What right do you have… not to suffer with me, not to die with me!

This thought turned into resentment and continued to erupt in the depths of Saintly Star’s heart. At the end of the day, the reason why he hated Xu Qing to the extreme was because of that heart-piercing jealousy!

He was jealous that Xu Qing had light in his heart.

He was jealous that Xu Qing could possess two life lanterns that truly belonged to him.

He was jealous that Xu Qing could obtain everything without having to endure such torture.

He was even more jealous that Xu Qing had a master who would protect him against the world and an ancestor who didn’t covet him.

The thing that made him the most jealous was that after experiencing the rain and snow that night, when he saw Xu Qing again today, there seemed to be life in his heart again. He could even show such persistence, giving him the feeling that… there was still light!

Therefore, he was even more jealous and resentful.

So what if he had opened 121 magic apertures? So what if the upper limit of his Golden Core had increased to eight illusory Heavenly Palaces? So what if he had obtained the right to use the Golden Crow with the help of the lord?

“Only when you become a god can you suppress everything!” The madness in Saintly Star’s eyes rose up. These words were not spoken by him, but rather, he was screaming in his mind.

This was his only hope, and also the reason why he was willing to join Illuminate. Although the arrival of the Seven Blood Eyes was too sudden, causing many plans to not be carried out in time, Saintly Star’s faith still did not collapse.

Even though his 121st magic aperture had collapsed, resulting in the dissipation of the eighth illusory Heavenly Palace, he still felt that he was on the path to glory.

Hence, in the next instant, when Xu Qing arrived like a bolt of lightning and punched out again, Saintly Star smiled. His eyes were filled with madness as a ferocious expression appeared on his face. He let out a low cry and punched out as well.

However, the huge difference in their battle prowess made it impossible for Saintly Star to be a match for Xu Qing. In the next moment, Saintly Star’s entire body trembled, and his right arm exploded. A miserable scream came out of his mouth as he was sent tumbling backward again.

However, he was still counterattacking. His hands quickly formed seals, and sword lights appeared again.

The first sword descended from the sky, the Heavenly Blood Sword.

The second sword swept over, Soul Shaking Demon Suppression Sword.

The third sword turned into ghosts with a sword on their backs, Northern Ghost Inquires the Heaven Sword.

However, this time around, Xu Qing directly disregarded them. With a wave of his hand, the sword that descended from the sky shattered inch by inch. The sword that swept over shattered into pieces. The eight ghosts couldn’t even draw their swords before they let out a shrill cry and were wiped away by the impact of Xu Qing’s aura.

The killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes was intense. He didn’t slow down and directly caught up to the retreating Saintly Star. He didn’t give the other party any chance to react and ignored all the defenses from Saintly Star. At the instant he approached, he activated Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art.

His right hand turned illusory and entered Saintly Star’s body!

Saintly Star trembled and he struggled violently, but it was useless. His eyes widened with madness as he charged toward Xu Qing. At that moment, Xu Qing’s right hand had already entered Saintly Star’s sea of consciousness and touched his Heavenly Palace!

A Golden Core cultivator would create illusory Heavenly Palaces at the moment of advancement. This would determine the upper limit, and to truly form combat strength, one needed to turn the illusory Heavenly Palace into corporeal.

For example, Saintly Star had eight Heavenly Palaces. However, he had only changed one illusory Heaven Palace to corporeal.

After Xu Qing probed it, he grabbed Saintly Star’s golden core from the Heavenly Palace!

He pulled hard!

The Golden Core contained an innumerable amount of resentment. As it spread out, it also emanated extraordinary fluctuations. Xu Qing pulled it out amidst Saintly Star’s screams!

Countless strands of blood could be seen coiling around the Golden Core, connecting to Saintly Star’s trembling body. At that moment, his wails spread out in all directions. The killing intent in Xu Qing’s eyes grew even stronger as he suddenly clenched his fist.

With a boom, the golden core collapsed, transforming into countless nutrients that rapidly fused into Xu Qing’s body. At the same time, Xu Qing ruthlessly slammed into Saintly Star’s forehead.

A boom could be heard as Saintly Star’s entire body shook violently. His facial features were badly mutilated, and his head caved in. However, the madness and fierceness in his eyes were still there.

Xu Qing’s face was also covered in blood. That was Saintly Star’s blood.

There was also madness in his eyes. It was his own!

In the next instant, the Golden Crow behind Xu Qing let out a cry and descended abruptly, sucking fiercely at Saintly Star.

Saintly Star let out a miserable laugh. Behind him, a Golden Crow manifested and was uncontrollably being bitten by Xu Qing’s Golden Crow. The two of them were entangled in midair.

They devoured and entangled each other. Xu Qing’s eyes shone with a cold light, and the killing intent in his heart was about to explode out. He grabbed Saintly Star’s hair and punched him in the chest again and again.

With every punch, a portion of Saintly Star’s body would collapse, a portion would shatter, and a portion would dissipate.

His soul was the same. It was rapidly collapsing and being greedily absorbed by the Diamond Sect’s ancestor.

After three punches, half of Saintly Star’s body was about to explode. Finally, after Xu Qing’s fourth punch landed, a loud bang echoed out in all directions. Saintly Star’s miserable scream suddenly stopped.

His body exploded from the neck down, shattering into pieces. His bones and flesh turned into countless pieces that scattered in all directions.

His body was like this, and so was his soul.

Only the head was in Xu Qing’s hands. At this moment, Saintly Star’s eyes were still filled with unwillingness and madness.

However, it had no source and was slowly dimming.

Saintly Star was dead!

The ground was covered in blood and minced meat. Saintly Star’s head was dripping with blood just like Lord Sixth’s head.

As for the Golden Crow that was controlled by Saintly Star in the air, it had lost its source and was weakened. It gradually couldn’t hold on anymore. Xu Qing’s Golden Crow let out a cry and devoured it.

After devouring the Golden Crow, Xu Qing’s Golden Crow’s body shook violently. Endless flames spread out in all directions in a violent manner. At the same time, its tenth tail formed, followed by the eleventh, the twelfth, and finally the thirteenth!

At this moment, the emperor-level cultivation technique, Golden Crow Refines All Life, finally broke through to the second stage!
