Outside Of Time

Chapter 1416 - 1416 Continue Playing Music (1)

At this moment, dawn appeared on the Forbidden Sea, like a god spreading Its divine power from within the darkness.

It dyed the sea and the world.

In the end, it was hard to tell if this god was in the sky or in the sea.

Was it the color of the sea that invaded the sky, or was it the sky accentuating the Forbidden Sea?

However, this was not important to the races living in the Forbidden Sea. Whether it was day or night didn’t matter to them. They lived here and were already used to everything here.

On the black sea, the shadows of some boats could occasionally be seen rising and falling with the waves.

In the sky, one could occasionally see birds sweeping up the night to hunt.

As for the seabed… the speed of the severed hand was displayed to the extreme as it continued to escape. It was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear; every time it did this, it would have warped across a large area.

All the sea beasts that appeared in front of it instantly withered, their divinity and life becoming its nutrients.

This allowed it to move even faster.

In addition, wherever it passed, regardless of whether it was itself, the seawater, or the sea beasts in the surroundings, everything was silent. All sounds were suppressed by it using its divine authority.

This was because it knew that the sound was its weapon but it was also the weapon of the pursuer.

However… even if it gained more speed, the pursuer who was chasing it through some strange method was still there.

He wasn’t shaken off at all.

Moreover, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

This was because the divine authority of sound wasn’t the only thing augmenting Xu Qing’s speed.

Misfortune could augment him and the Purple Moon power could too. In fact… the anomalous substances contained in the Forbidden Sea could provide Xu Qing with a certain level of support.

That body of his was astonishingly terrifying.

Therefore… after fifteen minutes passed, the waters around the severed hand suddenly surged, forming vines of water.

They swiftly approached, soundlessly blocking its path as they closed in.

The hand swayed, attempting to change direction, but more vines formed from the seawater, obstructing its path in other directions as well.

In the blink of an eye, it was trapped.

Countless seawater vines appeared one after another, enclosing around the severed hand.

No matter how the severed hand attacked, it still had to pause under the envelopment of the countless water vines.

The price of this pause was it being trapped in the cocoon formed by water vines.

The cocoon was like a seal.

Although it only existed for a few breaths of time and collapsed under the attacks of the severed hand, the explosion that instantly formed was the first sound in this silent battle.

Booming sounds echoed.

Even though it was only for a breath of time before the sounds were snatched away, it was still too late.

Almost at the instant this rumbling sound rang out, Xu Qing had already captured it. His body mysteriously emerged directly from within the rumbling sound.

He stood in front of the severed hand.

Among the vines formed by the seawater, the figure of the Holy Heavenly Vine also flashed past, emitting emotions of contribution. After that, it spread out in all directions, manifesting more water vines, sealing this place again.

The shadow wasn’t willing to be left behind and rapidly spread out, replacing the seabed in this area, and even spread above, completely enveloping this place.

There was also Xu Qing’s god’s curse poison that also spread out from his body, causing the seawater to become even darker.

After doing this, Xu Qing stared at the severed hand with a dark look.

This hand was the key to whether he could summon the dragon carriage.

He took a step forward.

The instant his foot landed, the eye in the palm of the severed hand flashed with blood-red light. Illusory ghostly figures emerged from its gaze, and eerie ghostly sounds echoed once more.

A murderous melody was about to erupt.

“In this place, besides my sound, there shall be no lingering sounds.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

The instant his voice rang out, the sharp cries of the malicious ghosts stopped abruptly.

The severed hand quivered, and immediately the eye in its palm glowed with intensified red light. A tear, blood-red in hue, flowed from within, unleashing a terrifying aura as it shot straight at Xu Qing.

Wherever this tear passed, the seawater erupted, churned up by its resentment, madness, and boundless hatred, closing in an instant.

A light flashed in Xu Qing’s body and immortal light was about to spread out. However, he narrowed his eyes and withdrew the immortal light. He didn’t stop at all and continued walking.

He allowed the red tear to land on his body.

There was no sound.

Xu Qing’s body paused. A feeling like he was being pricked by needles surfaced throughout his body.

That was all.

Before an attack reached the strength of a Ruler, it couldn’t shake his current body. Only the power of the Ruler Realm and above could make his form and soul feel like they were separating.

Only like that would his body be damaged.

He raised his foot and landed again. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the severed hand. He let the red light in the severed hand’s eye to rise again, allowed the malicious ghosts in the surroundings to appear and struggle, and even allowed the fingers of the hand to perform a series of hand seals…

He raised his right hand and punched out.

This punch looked like the Indestructible Emperor’s Fist but in reality, it had been modified by Xu Qing, incorporating the Under the Nine Springs given by Old Master Seventh. Through this fusion, it possessed both substance and emptiness simultaneously, making its power even more astonishing.

There was still no noise but an blast erupted.

The cut appendage was sent flying.

Its overall combat prowess, in fact, paled in comparison to its authority of sound.
