Outside Of Time

Chapter 1089 Snatching Food From God's Mouth

"Ancestor of the Nether Race, You Dingmu!"

A cold glint flashed in the heir's eyes as he revealed the identity of the six-eyed face!

It wasn't just the heir who recognized this face. His siblings also recognized it the moment they saw it.

The captain narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up. Clearly, he also knew the identity of the totem face on the gate. After all, in his previous life… he had been here.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed as he recalled what the heir had told him when they saw the Nether Race on the way to the northern ice plains.

The ancestor of the Nether Race was once a subordinate of the ruler. When Crimson Goddess arrived, he chose to betray the ruler. After that, he was killed by the ruler's finger on the northern icy plains, shattering his great world.

The fragment of the great world he had obtained was a part of the great world of the totem face.

Now, this subordinate who had been killed by the ruler appeared on the Moon Palace's gate and was acting like a gate god. Clearly, he had been revived by Crimson Goddess.

"So, back then, when Eldest Senior Brother went to go to the northern icy plains, he used his skin to imprint the fingerprint there…"

Xu Qing looked at the captain.

The captain looked at Xu Qing with a smug expression as if telling Xu Qing, 'Now you know how impressive I am.' He inwardly thought that Little Qing had been performing too well, and now it was finally his turn to shine.

Hence, he looked up and spoke loudly.

"Seniors, the awakening of Crimson Goddess requires a process. We have to reach Her slumbering place before She completely wakes up!"

"As for this gate god, help me stall for some time. I have a way to suppress it!"

When Xu Qing heard this, his gaze swept across the surroundings before looking at the captain. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

At the same time, as the Moon Palace appeared, the ground of the Red Moon's star trembled and bulged. The sky tilted down as though it was being pulled by an invisible force.

From a distance, the Moon Palace appeared ancient and weathered, with giant stones exuding an ancient aura. However, whether it was the patterns on its surface or the details, everything reflected exquisite and luxurious craftsmanship.

There was also a majestic feeling.

The red walls, red tiles, and dazzling brilliance, along with intricately carved beams and painted rafters, created a scene of unparalleled beauty. The eaves were high and imposing, with lots of vivid scenes portrayed on them.

Shrouded in the hazy blood mist, it appeared like a silhouette floating in the clouds, giving it an extra sense of silence and solemnity.

Its arrival seemed to have become the core of this world. Everything had to gather here. Regardless of the sky or ground… it had to be like this.

The sky distorted and the ground undulated. The entire world was rumbling.

The Moon Palace became the center of attention. The blood light it emitted illuminated the surroundings and enveloped the entire Red Moon Star.

At that moment, the Red Moon Star seemed to be worshiping it. The colors of the bodies of those figures whose prayers had been tampered with by Xu Qing instantly returned to red. Their chanting also returned to its previous lines.

Under the red light, the totem face on the gate became even more sinister. It glared at Xu Qing with killing intent. Its voice was like countless heavenly lightning bolts that rumbled and exploded in all directions.

There were also red snowflakes floating around which quickly gathered to form armored skeletons that rushed toward Xu Qing and the others.

Facing these, the heir let out a cold snort and took a step forward. The instant his foot landed, the power of Soul Accumulation erupted from his body, forming a huge palm that grabbed forward.

Immediately, the void blurred and the armored skeletons trembled one after another before collapsing in unison. However, at the next instant, they gathered together and formed blood-bone beasts.

It was as though their existences were eternal and they couldn't be completely eliminated. On the contrary, they would become stronger and stronger under repeated destruction and revival.

However, the siblings of the heir were naturally not weaklings, and their cooperation was incomparably tacit. At this moment, Princess Mingmei performed a series of hand seals and the River of Time flowed over.

There was also Old Eighth who let out a deep shout. His shout could affect the seven emotions and six desires, even causing emotions to rise in those who didn't have emotions. In an instant, those blood-bone ferocious beasts became restless and felt fear.

Before they could suppress their emotions, the River of Time arrived and drowned them all.

The captain wasn't idle either. He took out a human skin scroll from his storage bag and called Xu Qing over. The two of them each held one end and opened it with all their might.

In the blink of an eye, the human skin was opened by them, revealing a huge fingerprint.

This fingerprint was strange. Just looking at it made one's heart skip a beat.

That was the fingerprint left by the ruler's finger that had suppressed the Nether Race's ancestor.

"Little Qing, fuse your Poison Restriction into it!"

The captain shouted and spat out a mouthful of blood that landed on the human skin, activating it. In an instant, the fingerprint shone with an intense light and a terrifying pressure erupted from it.

Xu Qing's eyes turned pitch-black and the power of Poison Restriction enveloped the fingerprint, while the captain kept coughing blood repeatedly.

Soon, the pressure from the fingerprint on the human skin became even stronger.

However, looking at the captain spurting out blood, Xu Qing wanted to say something, but seeing that the captain was in high spirits, Xu Qing felt that it was best not to remind him.

As for the attacks of the heir and the others, it wasn't over. After neutralizing those blood-bone ferocious beasts, they rose into the air and headed straight for the Moon Palace.

However, to be able to guard the gate for the Crimson Goddess, the totem face naturally had more tricks up its sleeve. Its six eyes flickered at the same time, forming six red lights that transformed into six lumps of red mud that headed straight for the heir and the others.

This mud was extraordinary and actually contained the will of a god.

Their speed was so fast that they instantly enveloped the heir and the other four. The additional lump of mud headed straight for Xu Qing.

However, before this lump of blood-red mud landed, a black sword appeared in front of Xu Qing and blocked the mud.

Old Ninth, who was already covered by the fifth lump of mud, appeared in front of Xu Qing. He was actually fighting against two lumps of the mud alone.

"Hurry up!"

With his back facing Xu Qing and the captain, Old Ninth's entire body was covered in blood. A deep voice rang out from the mud.

The captain's expression changed and he quickly nodded.

"Seven breaths at most!"

As he spoke, he spat out even more blood. Xu Qing also increased the influx of the Poison Restriction. During this process, the two of them rapidly rose into the air. At the same time, as the Poison Restriction and the captain's blood flowed, this human skin continued to grow larger.

Under the tug of the two of them, the human skin quickly enlarged to 30 feet, 100 feet, 400 feet…

The fingerprint on it became increasingly clear, and the aura it emitted gradually became terrifying.

Seeing this, the six eyes of the totem face closed at the same time. On its closed eyelids, six souls actually appeared.

Upon closer look, one could see that these six soul figures were none other than the heir and his siblings. The additional soul was another figure of Old Ninth.

The instant they appeared, the blood mud around the heir and the others exploded and rolled back at the same time, merging together to form six mud figures identical to them.

They were grinning strangely. Their cultivation erupted and displayed the same Soul Accumulation power as they charged toward the heir and the others.

A crack appeared between the brows of the totem face. It opened its seventh eye and looked at Xu Qing and the captain. More specifically, it was looking at the fingerprint on the human skin.

The seventh eye narrowed and the totem face swayed. It chose to leave the gate and appear outside, transforming into an incomparably huge mud face.

Its existence was actually formed from blood mud. At that moment, it headed straight for Xu Qing and the captain. Its mouth opened wider and wider, as though it wanted to devour them.

However, at that moment, just as the blood mud face flew out and before it could devour Xu Qing and the captain, a black light suddenly appeared from the void.

This black light had concealed itself extremely deeply. The way it appeared and the timing were extremely tricky. It was as though this light was waiting for the instance the face left the gate.

As it flew over, a sense of greed and thirst erupted uncontrollably. There was also turbid water from the Yellow Springs falling from all directions. That was… the saliva of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

The black light was none other than the cloak that the Ancient Spirit Emperor had transformed into.

In the blink of an eye, the cloak headed straight for the mouth of the bloody face and flew in.

The hunger that had been suppressed for countless years completely erupted at this moment. The devouring power of the Ancient Spirit Emperor erupted crazily.

A mournful cry rang out from the bloody face. For the first time, horror appeared in its eyes. At that moment, it no longer cared about devouring Xu Qing. Instead, it rapidly retreated, wanting to return to the gate.

However, the Ancient Spirit Emperor had hidden at the side until now for the sake of eating. How could He let the food escape just like that? Hence, He devoured even more crazily from within the blood mud face.

One bite after another, He continued to bite. In an instant, there was even more Yellow Springs drool. As it gathered into a river, thunderous sounds of hunger echoed in all directions.

This scene stunned the captain. He gazed at the ultimate move he had prepared and then at the bloody face, feeling a little depressed.

Xu Qing wasn't surprised by this.

According to his understanding of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, it would be strange if the other party didn't do this.

He had actually planned to remind the captain earlier… but on one hand, it didn't feel good to destroy Eldest Senior Brother's enthusiasm. On the other hand, once he reminded him, he was afraid that the sneak attack of the Ancient Spirit Emperor would lose its effect.

Just as the captain was feeling depressed, the blood mud face let out a heart-rending cry. The face instantly collapsed and shattered into pieces, turning into a large amount of blood mud that rapidly gathered together.

However… only 40% of the blood mud was left. The remaining 60% of the blood mud indeed turned into eyeballs that disclosed intense greed.

They already belonged to the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

The ancestor of the Nether Race was horrified and immediately tried to return to the Moon Palace, but the captain immediately seized this opportunity. He let go of the human skin and shouted.

"Seal!"

The instance he uttered it, Xu Qing also let go. Immediately, the fingerprint on the human skin let out a massive aura like the laws of nature, earth-shattering and imposing. It immediately got past the Ancient Spirit Emperor and imprinted on the ancestor of the Nether Race.

If this fingerprint was used on others, there might be all kinds of unknown effects. However, it had once suppressed the Nether Race's ancestor to death and had a great karma with him. Hence, when it emerged at this moment, it immediately caused the Nether Race's ancestor's body to tremble.

At the next instant, the human skin arrived and directly enveloped the ancestor of the Nether Race. After covering him, it rapidly spun and transformed into a scroll that flew toward the captain.
