Outside Of Time

Chapter 1690 The Relic of the Fourth True Monarch

The Chaotic Sky Universe was home to the Chaotic Sky Royal Family.

This clan was extraordinarily gifted. Members of their clan had skin that was half crimson and half azure and possessed four heads-front, back, left, and right.

Their physical stature was immense, with newborns towering at a thousand fect, adults starting at ten thousand feet, and the truly exceptional reaching a hundred thousand feet in height.

Equally remarkable was their overwhelming population compared to other races.

Their cultivation required no external techniques or methods. By relying solely on the inheritance embedded in their souls and bloodlines, they could instinctively absorb the origin essence of the upper star ring,

All of this was because the source of the race was a True God!

Hence, back then, this clan had unified the Chaotic Sky Universe. Within the ancient divine hierarchy of the Fifth Star Ring, they were counted among its illustrious members.

However, with the war between immortals and gods that swept through the Fifth Star Ring, the tide shifted. As the gods were subdued and the immortals rose to dominance, all the glory that belonged to this clan became a thing of the past.

Their True God was suppressed.

Their people, having chosen to avoid the conflict and being among the earliest groups to surrender, were allowed to survive after the war.

As a reward, they were granted the authority to oversee the Chaotic Sky Universe and bestowed the title of ʼChaotic Sky Royal Family! a mark of honor.

Such royal families were numerous across the Fifth Star Ring, each granted their status for meritorious service.

However, for such clans, the Fifth Star Ring... put some necessary restrictions in their bloodlines.

As a result, the clanʼs original dual-tone skin was reduced to a single hue.

Their four heads were reduced to two, and their towering physiques were redefined, capped at a maximum height of a thousand feet.

Their cultivation was also similarly restrained.

The restriction imposed on their bloodlineʼs inheritance stripped them of their innate talent, forcing them to abandon divinity and take up cultivation. They were restricted from achieving immortality and outright forbidden from becoming gods.

Over generations, the double-faced feature began to fade entirely, and issues with reproduction emerged. The population of the clan gradually dwindled. leading to its decline.

In the end, in the so-called Chaotic Sky Royal Family, most of them were about a hundred feet tall and they only had one head.

This lasted until the Aurora Immortal Palace dimmed.

This caused this Heavenʼs Beyond to lose its owner and also allowed the Chaotic Sky Royal Family to see a trace of hope. Hence, a clansman experienced atavism, gaining two heads and becoming the emperor.

At this moment, in the depths of the Chaotic Sky Universe, outside the huge Chaotic Sky Palace, Star Ring stood amidst the starry void, his body encircled by countless chains of order, gazing into the distance at the grand palace.

His expression was cold and his gaze sharp.

Around him were countless members of the Chaotic Sky Clan. They were all a hundred feet tall and were covered in black armor, exuding thick, oppressive killing intent. Their cold gazes were fixed on Star Ring.

In front of the Star Ring and between the palace were three figures.

These three were all 700 to 800 feet tall. One of them held a spear, one held a pagoda, and the last one had a massive banner unfurled behind him.

The auras emitted by their bodies were all Quasi Immortals!

This was something impossible in other Heavenʼs Beyonds.

The nonhuman races were not allowed to become immortals. Even Quasi Immortal Realm was not allowed for them!

These three not only emitted the aura of Quasi Immortals, but their bodies also contained the fluctuations of gods, as if they cultivated both immortal and god system.

At that moment, their gazes met with Star Ringʼs. Among the three, the Chaotic Sky Clan member with the huge banner on his back spoke hoarsely.

”Youʼve already fought against the three of us several times and it has always been a draw. Why continue?”

”Also, you must have already gathered the required origin essence in this universe. Now, even after knowing that my clan has an exemption token, you still chose to force your way through. Isnʼt this... going too far?”

”My Chaotic Sky Royal Family has a bottom line. I hope, sir... you do not bring about your own undoing!”

Star Ringʼs expression remained indifferent. He had been here for quite some time, cutting his way through, only to be halted at this point.

Of the three before him, Star Ring was confident that if he faced any one of them alone, he could take their life.

Even if there were two of them, he could still kill them at some cost.

However, there were three of them... and their cooperation was perfect, causing him to be unable to continue.

He replied coldly.

”Whether enough has been collected has nothing to do with me.”

”Your clan breaking its limits has nothing to do with me. Whether you ascend to become immortals or gods also has nothing to do with me. Whoever is backing and protecting you from the shadows is equally irrelevant to me!

”Itʼs the same for the exemption token!

”I only want.... that clump of soil you worship within your imperial palace!”

Star Ring pointed at the distant palace.

As his finger pointed, the radiance of the imperial palace intensified, and a clump of yellow soil floated outward, emerging into the starry void. It exuded an overwhelming aura of Heavenʼs Law!

”You want this?”

A deep voice that carried a hint of mockery echoed out from the palace.

Within the imperial palace, the towering figure of the Chaotic Sky Emperor- standing a thousand feet tall, his entire body a fiery crimson and bearing two heads, one in the front and one in the back-let out a soft chuckle.

”I canʼt give you the Fourth True Monarchʼs relic!”

As he spoke, the Chaotic Sky Emperor waved his hand and the clump of soil that emitted the might of the Heavenʼs Law returned.

After that, his voice carried a hint of coldness as it echoed outside.

”Chase him away”

The instant these words were spoken, the auras of the three clansmen who stopped Star Ring erupted violently. This time, not only did they display immortal cultivation, but the intent of the gods was also even more obvious.

They moved toward Star Ring.

At the same time, the other clansmen in the surroundings also emitted intense baleful auras. As their auras fused, eighteen colossal phantom statues wielding massive halberds rose around Star Ring,

Each of these statues towered at a hundred thousand feet, emanating waves of terrifying power. Together, they brought their halberds crashing down toward Star Ring, the momentum akin to a mountain collapsing and a sca overturning.

A deafening roar erupted.

Faced with such formidable opponents, Star Ringʼs eyes burned with intense killing intent. Yet, his body ultimately retreated slightly. However, in his entire life, he had only been defeated once. Even now, confronted by so many powerful foes, his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

The chains of order surrounding his body instantly expanded outward, radiating with an unstoppable force. Simultaneously, the Ordinance of Balance erupted, its immense power spreading across the battlefield. With this, Star Ring forcibly stood his ground, using his strength alone to contend against the multitude of adversaries.

They were evenly matched.

Those eighteen colossal statues and the three Quasi Immortals were unable to suppress Star Ring!

This was the strength of Star Ring.

His Ordinance of Order could impose boundaries and enforce rules on himself and his enemies alike. Meanwhile, his Ordinance of Balance held an even more terrifying power-it could forcibly equalize the disparity between strength and weakness.

The stronger his enemies were, the more his Ordinance of Balance would amplify his own combat power.

Back then, when Xu Qing faced this Balance Ordinance, he also had to rely on the multiple versions of himself in his parallel space-times to erupt at the same time to make Star Ring lose the balance.

From this, it could be seen how strong Star Ring was.

Exclamations of admiration rang out from the palace. ”You should be the strongest Material Procurer here, right? To possess such

combat strength at such an age, youʼre indeed a heavenʼs chosen. If you become an immortal in the future, youʼll definitely be a powerful immortal!” ”No wonder you wanted the Fourth True Monarchʼs belongings... Your Ordinance is indeed in line with him. However, so-called balance is inherently unstable and difficult o maintain for long”

”Thus, for someone like you, leveraging your balance to unleash your peak strength is clearly the combat strategy youʼve tailored for yourself” ”Unfortunately, your peak strength lacks a robust foundation. I assume that if this Heavenʼs Law were handed to you, it would perfectly fill that missing link in your strength.”

Star Ring didnʼt say anything.

He originally bad it...

That voice was still echoing

”Giving it to you is not impossible. If you form an alliance with my Chaotic Sky

clan, become a guest elder, and assist my clan three times, then... the Fourth True Monarchʼs relic can be yours!”

When Star Ring heard dus, he coldly looked at the palace. That gaze was like looking at an ant.

”A mere nonhuman race with a sinful bloodline dares to speak of an alliance with me?”

As soon as these words were spoken, anger appeared in the eyes of all the surrounding clansmen of the Chaotic Sky Clan. Their murderous aura also became stronger.

In the palace, the emperor of the Chaotic Sky Royal Family chuckled.

”Iʼm not worthy?”

He raised his right hand and pointed out gently.

With this gesture, the starry sky outside the palace instantly distorted and everything became blurry. Moreover, all the colors seemed to have been forcefully stripped away, leaving only black and white.

Amidst the black and white, a huge ink finger appeared out of thin air and pressed down toward Star Ring with a vast might. Wherever it passed, the void shattered and the starry sky withered. Star Ringʼs expression instantly turned solemn as he rapidly retreated. He performed a series of hand seals with both hands and was about to go all out.

At this moment, a familiar voice echoed through the starry sky.

”Heʼs right. Youʼre indeed not worthy!

As the sound appeared, a red light appeared. Endless red light came from nothingness and penetrated the black and white, causing the area where the color was stripped to instantly turn red!

Those red leaves were actually the leaves of the seaweed.

A total of 20 pieces rapidly intertwined with each other, forming a whip that lashed out at the finger.

There was a snap.

A destructive force erupted. Wherever it passed, the void collapsed and cracks appeared in the starry sky. The finger paused for a moment before dissipating.

The eighteen colossal statues in the surroundings also shook and shattered into pieces.

The expressions of the three experts from the Chaotic Sky changed drastically and they retreated one after another. However, they were still affected and spat out blood.

In the palace, the expression of the originally calm Chaotic Sky Emperor froze. His divine sense rumbled and gathered outside the palace, forming a huge face that stared at the huge seaweed that had appeared in the starry sky!

And... the black-clothed youth standing on the seaweed!

The youth stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were like the stars and his expression was calm,

The Chaotic Sky Emperor naturally recognized the seaweed! But it was precisely because of this recognition that the waves in his heart were immense at this moment.

”A29... it actually followed this person here!”

”Moreover, this personʼs aura is clearly stronger than that Order Ordinance cultivator, Is he the leader of these Material Procurers?!”

Due to the separation between different Heavenʼs Beyonds, this Chaotic Sky Emperor wasnʼt that well-informed about the events that happened in Nine Shores Heavenʼs Beyond.

As the Chaotic Sky Emperor gazed, Star Ringʼs heart did not settle at Xu Qingʼs appearance. On the contrary, it was filled with even more turbulence.

This was because he could tell...

”Xu Qing has become even stronger!”

Xu Qing had indeed become stronger.

On the way here, he had been absorbing the origin essence stored in other space-times. The current him was only a trace away from fusing the Imperishable and Illusion of Truth!

The increase in his realm and immortal embryo also allowed Xu Qingʼs Ordinance to erupt with greater might.

At that moment, he stood on the seaweed and looked at the huge face formed by the Chaotic Sky Emperor.

”Take it out.”
