Outside Of Time

To be able to shock the three of them with a single remark, it could be seen how formidable Erniu’s ability to speak was.

After all, while others could only spend a lifetime honing their speech, Erniu had refined his verbal skills over many lifetimes, achieving a mastery beyond compare.

If there were a system of cultivating verbal ability, Erniu would undoubtedly be approaching its pinnacle.

Even Xu Qing, who was now dominated by divinity, glanced at Erniu.

Erniu was smug. He held his head high and puffed out his chest with a proud expression.

He suddenly discovered a new challenge from Xu Qing.

‘Getting the normal Little Qing to worship me isn’t difficult at all. It’s too simple. What I have to do is to get Little Qing, who is controlled by divinity, to also develop intellectual respect for me. This is true capability!’

Erniu coughed and was about to continue speaking.

At that moment, outside the pagoda, on the damaged icy plains, the scene of Yue Dong and the other two also reached its first climax.

As Yue Dong raised her hand and pointed, Lan Yao, who had regained her senses, felt her emotions fluctuating intensely again.

The seven emotions and six desires continued to erupt from Lan Yao’s body, turning into threads that were extracted from her body and spread toward Lu Lingzi.

Lan Yao’s entire body trembled and her expression revealed pain. She wanted to struggle but very soon, even her thoughts of struggling were drowned by emotions.

Beside her, Yue Dong ignored Lan Yao’s pain and looked at Lu Lingzi.

“Lord Lu, I’ve already disrupted Lan Yao’s seven emotions and six desires, making her into a hotbed. Now, with her emotions erupting, all the conditions are met.”

“I hope that after you succeed, you will remember our agreement. I want Feng Lintao’s inheritance to imprint my immortal art as authority. As for you… you will rise to the top from now on and advance to Ruler realm!”

Lu Lingzi’s gaze was gentle as he stared at Yue Dong. He smiled and nodded with a sincere expression.

“I naturally won’t forget you. In the future, we will walk the path of the Great Dao together.”

Yue Dong fell silent for a moment before taking a deep breath. Her expression was firm as she performed a series of hand seals and pointed again. Immediately, the last trace of consciousness in Lan Yao’s eyes disappeared.

What was left was emptiness and confusion.

She could be fused!

Lu Lingzi took a deep breath and a hint of anticipation rose in his eyes as he walked toward Lan Yao. When he raised his right hand, it came into contact with the seven emotions and six desires threads emitted by Lan Yao.

The instant they came into contact, these threads rapidly fused into Lu Lingzi’s fingers, fusing with his flesh and blood and connecting to his soul.

At the next instant, Lan Yao’s trembling became even more intense. Her aura gradually weakened and the fate threads formed by the seven emotions and six desires continued to surge into Lu Lingzi’s body.

Lan Yao’s flesh and blood followed.

She was rapidly losing weight!

There was also the power of her cultivation base that surged toward Lu Lingzi through the seven emotions and six desires threads.

The most important thing was that Lan Yao’s pure bloodline from the Great Emperor had also begun to transfer.

The emptiness in Lan Yao’s eyes grew deeper, and her confusion intensified. A sense of sorrow seemed to gather at the corners of her eyes, eventually forming tears that glistened and then rolled down her gaunt cheeks.

Lu Lingzi saw these tears. As he fused with her, he sighed softly and stopped.

Yue Dong, who was at the side, suddenly spoke when she saw this scene.

“You can’t bear to part with her?”

Lu Lingzi shook his head.

“It’s nothing like that. I was just thinking about when the two of you would stage this turnaround.”

“Even tears were shed, making it look incredibly real.”

“Could it be when I absorb everything together?”

“Yue Dong.”

“Although the backlash method you hid in Lan Yao’s seven emotions and six desires was ingenious… I still sensed it.”

Lu Lingzi smiled and looked at Yue Dong.

In the pagoda in the sky, Xu Qing was expressionless as he stared at this scene. His main focus was on Lu Lingzi.

Next to him, Erniu, clearly focused on the plot, brightened up instantly at the words, exclaiming loudly.

“The tables are turning!!”

“Didn’t I say it? These three really know how to play.”

“Yue Dong, your plan has been figured out. Counterattack quickly, or you’ll miss the timing. Trying to succeed again will be infinitely harder.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Dong frowned. She ignored Erniu and looked at Lu Lingzi.

“Lu Lingzi, what do you mean!”

Lu Lingzi smiled, and a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

“Didn’t you hear what that fellow Daoist in the pagoda said?”

“Although you still want to continue acting, I’m no longer interested. What I mean is that I don’t want this fusion anymore.”

With that, Lu Lingzi suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed at Lan Yao. The power of the nine worlds Soul Accumulation erupted violently, forming a fatal blow that stirred the wind in all directions as it headed straight for Lan Yao.

He wanted to crush the unconscious Lan Yao.

Yue Dong’s expression instantly changed. She could sense Lu Lingzi’s killing intent. That was true killing intent, not probing. Hence, she immediately performed a series of hand seals with both hands and pointed.

Immediately, the seven emotions and six desires threads emitted by Lan Yao’s body shone with a resplendent light. They each transformed into a curse and imprinted themselves on Lu Lingzi.

In Lu Lingzi’s body, the seven emotions and six desires that he had absorbed also turned into curses at this moment and erupted in his body.

At the same time, Lan Yao, who was originally empty and confused, suddenly revealed spirituality in her eyes. Her body swayed and she actually regained all her movements. Her expression was even colder as she smacked her forehead with her right hand.

With a boom, the seven emotions and six desires she emitted erupted even more intensely, taking the initiative to surge the threads of fate toward Lu Lingzi.

From the start to the end, she hadn’t lost consciousness!

This was originally a hunt for her, but from the looks of it now, she had transformed from a prey into a hunter.

Moreover, her cooperation with Yue Dong was extremely tacit. Clearly, the two of them had practiced many times. Now that they made a move, the curses formed by the seven emotions and six desires instantly soared.

There were also voices that echoed in all directions.

“Lu Lingzi, this was all set up for you! Did you think 1, Lan Yao, wasn’t aware of your thoughts? Let me tell you, Little Lu, 1 know very well what you did!”

“Yue Dong’s sister has already told us everything. Our target has always been you. You… are my prey!”

The person who spoke wasn’t Lan Yao.

It was Erniu. He imitated Lan Yao’s voice and didn’t mind the commotion as he spoke loudly.

At that moment, regardless of whether it was Lan Yao or Yue Dong, they weren’t in the mood to care about Erniu’s words. Their attacks were powerful and the curses continued to invade Lu Lingzi.

Lu Lingzi’s body swayed and his aura was chaotic, showing signs of weakness. However, his expression didn’t change at all from the start. He even smiled and was about to speak.

The voice appeared again.

“Yue Dong and Lan Yao, do you two b*tches really think that victory is in your grasp? As the disciple of the Great Emperor, 1, Great Lu, have never trusted you. Since 1 dared to descend today, I’m naturally fully confident that 1 can shatter your plans!”

It was still Erniu who spoke first.

He was like a voice actor, helping the three of them tell their stories.

When Lu Lingzi heard this, the smile on his face grew even wider. In fact, while suppressing the curses in his body, he even looked up at the pagoda.

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve indeed spoken my thoughts.”

As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in Lu Lingzi’s eyes. He lifted his feet but he didn’t walk toward Yue Dong and Lan Yao. Instead, he stepped on the air and punched an empty space.

The nine great worlds on his body rumbled in unison, adding terrifying power, causing this punch to seem as though it could shatter everything.

The instant his fist landed, the space suddenly distorted. Six figures flashed out from within and resisted Lu Lingzi.

Booming sounds rose into the sky.

Blood flowed out of the corner of Lu Lingzi’s mouth as he rapidly retreated.

As for the six of them, they also spat out blood and retreated, revealing the appearance of middle-aged people.

From their appearances, they vaguely looked a little similar to Lan Yao. At this moment, they were all looking at Lu Lingzi with killing intent.

“The six nine worlds Soul Accumulation elders of the Lan family actually secretly descended to Wanggu.”

“Looks like it wasn’t Lan Yao hunting me in this hunt but the Lan family.”

“In that case, why hasn’t the Lan family’s ancestor appeared even though he has arrived?”

Lu Lingzi looked at the empty space.

At that moment, that area distorted again and the figure of an old man in luxurious clothes appeared. The instant he took a step out, the color of the sky changed and the wind surged. The might of a Ruler descended.

The instant he walked over, Lan Yao and Yue Dong along with the six elders immediately greeted him.

The old man was expressionless. After nodding slightly at Lan Yao and Yue Dong, he looked at Lu Lingzi and calmly spoke.

“Although you don’t have the bloodline of a Great Emperor, you do possess a rare magical eye that appears once in a millennium. This is why the Great Emperor Ancestor accepted you as a disciple and why our family accepted you as a son-in-law.”

“As for hunting… You want my race’s bloodline and my race wants your magical eye. It’s fair.”

When Xu Qing saw this scene, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes. Erniu, who was beside him, saw all of this and blinked.

“D*mn, this matter has become somewhat big.”

“I wonder what kind of backup plan this Little Lu has prepared.”

Outside the pagoda, Lu Lingzi looked at the Lan family’s ancestor and nodded with a smile.

“It’s indeed fair.”

“So, ever since 1 married into your Lan family and became a disciple, I have never trusted you or my master.”

Seeing how Lu Lingzi was still calm, whether it was Lan Yao, Yue Dong, or the Lan family’s ancestor, the sole Ruler within their family, they felt a slight unease deep within.

“Lu Lingzi, this old man knows that you’re extraordinary, so before I descended, I made use of the ongoing war to restrain all your backup plans in the holy land.”

“At this moment, you have no way out.”

As the Lan family’s ancestor spoke, the aura on his body transformed into a suppressive force that enveloped the surroundings. The might of a Ruler caused the weather to change. It was as though all the aura had gathered on him and he had become the master of this place.

He walked toward Lu Lingzi. Every step he took caused the world to rumble.

However, Lu Lingzi’s expression was still calm in the face of these. He was still smiling.

He spoke softly.

“My backup plan?”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the… Holy Heaven Pagoda that stood in the sky!

He looked at Erniu.

Erniu was stunned..
