Outside of Time

Inside Chi Mufan's shed, Xu Qing raised his head and looked above.

At the end of his eyes was the calamity cloud formed in the red mother's mortal shedding. This cloud was not large in scope, and although there was thunder, it was not shocking. And through the induction in the dark, Xu Qing could sense that there was a larger calamity cloud appearing in the outside world at this moment.

What appears in the red mother's mortal shedding is more of an illusory projection of the calamity cloud from the outside world attracted by Xu Qing's own cultivation.

The captain was standing aside, looking strange.

"Junior brother, in all my lifetimes, this is the first time I have encountered this situation."

"You are in the mortal shed of the Red Mother, so when it comes to the judgment of the fateful calamity, is it you or the mortal shed of the Red Mother who will survive the calamity?"

"If the Red Mother is mortally transformed, then the calamity that will come will definitely be terrifying, but the mortal transformation of the Scarlet Mother is equally terrifying."

"If it were you, then the coming catastrophe would be blocked by the Red Mother Mortal Slough, and you would be unscathed, without disaster. The appearance of this Red Mother Mortal Slough will passively take over for you!"

"Interesting, I have never seen anything like this before, and it is extremely rare for gods to shed mortal form, especially since the mortal form itself has no consciousness, only instinct."

Xu Qing also had bright eyes and was thoughtful.

At this moment, the outside sky was full of clouds and mist. Even the red sky could not completely stop the laws of heaven, so soon the black clouds came over and spread over the sea of ​​blood.

The clouds collided, reverberating and rolling thunder, each sound was deafening, shaking all directions, but no thunder disaster came immediately, as if to judge.

After a while, the fate judgment was answered.

In an instant, the calamity clouds in the sky erupted, and in the rumbling sound, a sky thunder shone out from inside, turned into a thunder dragon, and went straight to the Red Mother Mortal Slough below.

As the sound echoed, the lightning collapsed on Chi Mu's body, turning into countless arcs of lightning and scattered in all directions. Chi Mu's body was unscathed.

Even though the thunder was still there, the catastrophes continued one after another.

But the ending remains unchanged.

This is Xu Qing’s fifth life calamity, not the mortal transformation of the Red Mother!

Xu Qing's fate was different from others due to a series of reasons. The first time was when the fate of Fenghai County was dispersed, the second time was when the laws staggered across the sky and fell, and the third time was when the crown prince used the desert as a substitute to suffer endless disasters. .

The fourth time was even more terrifying, erupting at the God-Slaying Platform.

Each time is more amazing than the last.

But compared with the previous ones, this fifth time... was a bit average.

Without the help of the Crown Prince this time, Ming Jie could not determine that Xu Qing had merged with Da Mo like the third time, thus causing a terrible disaster.

And Xu Qing no longer understands the God-Slaying Platform, which makes the fate disaster even more terrifying.

So this time, in terms of judgment, he is hiding in the red mother's mortal shedding, rather than being in one body.

And with this little thunder tribulation, it is completely impossible to shake the Red Mother Mortal Slough.

This is the case even if ninety-nine thunder tribulations appear, all of which hit the red mother's body.

The electric light of Chi Mu Fan's slough shines brightly, and under that light, not even the surface of the slough's skin is damaged.

Soon the fateful calamity was over, and the clouds and mist in the sky dispersed, revealing the rays of light. This was the light of destiny, which meant that Xu Qing had completed the fateful calamity.

Everything went extremely smoothly.

But inside Chi Mufan's body, Xu Qing's brows furrowed and his expression became solemn.

The captain on the side also had a flash of light in his eyes, staring at the red mother above.

"Something's wrong!"

Something is indeed wrong. It is obvious that the heavenly calamity in the outside world has ended, and the destiny has also fallen with the rays of light. However, in this red mother's mortal body, the thin calamity cloud that was transformed before has not dissipated.

And Xu Qing didn't feel the surge of cultivation after breaking through the catastrophe like before.

It's as if he hasn't overcome the tribulation yet.

But it happened that the catastrophe did come before...

"Been eaten by Chi Mufan!" The captain suddenly spoke, his tone filled with surprise.

"Junior brother, this is not right, something is strange. Let's go back to the gate first!"

"It's too late..." Xu Qing said hoarsely, his face extremely solemn. He felt that he had been locked, and no matter where he went, he could not stop him.

That kind of locking made Xu Qing feel like he was being watched by the gods. At this moment, his body was trembling, the poison was tumbling, the purple moon divine source exploded, and Ding Yisaner's divine fingers were also trembling.

"All the powers related to the gods in my body are being locked!"

Almost at the moment when his words came out, the red mother's mortal slough covering the Kusheng Mountain Range suddenly began to squirm, and as the sky formed by its skin rolled, the previous calamity clouds also erupted.

There was even more divine power that fell from the sky and merged into the calamity cloud. Under this divine power, the calamity cloud exploded and collapsed in all directions. A huge golden blank stone tablet actually appeared from the shattered calamity cloud.

This stone tablet, which was a hundred feet big, suddenly fell towards Xu Qing.

With the arrival, the aura of the gods rose into the sky, and all living beings on the earth were shocked and their hearts roared.

Xu Qing's expression changed, and the captain's eyes widened, looking extremely moved.

"This is a divine monument. Leave your name on it with divine blood, experience the death of the five elements, and then light the divine fire. Put the divine monument into the ancient god's body, and you can plunder the divine personality and form your own divine personality!"

"This is a kind of divine tribulation ceremony, called burial of gods after death!"

The captain's breathing was rapid, and with his knowledge, he directly stated the essence.

"No, the power is different, too much smaller."

"I know, this is the instinct of the red mother to shed her mortal body!"

"When Chi Mu is not a god, her obsession is to become a god. To ensure success, she must practice the ritual many times by simulating it."

"So this obsession was deeply integrated into this mortal body, and then it was beheaded. Although Chi Mu ignited the divine fire in Huangtian and became a god, the obsession of this mortal body still exists."

"If it were someone else here to survive the tribulation, it wouldn't be like this, but you can't!"

"You have the power of the Purple Moon, are of the same origin as the Red Mother, and are in the mortal body...so you invite the fateful calamity, allowing this mortal body to instinctively practice the divine calamity ritual!"

"This is an opportunity. Although it is not a true divine calamity and there will be no steps to ignite the divine fire, for you, this is an unknown destiny!"

"Junior brother, this is your fifth calamity!"

As the captain spoke, the golden stone tablet came crashing down and landed in front of Xu Qing. The golden light exploded and turned into a sea of ​​light, illuminating everything.

"No matter what kind of fate it is, this calamity must be overcome."

Xu Qing looked at the stone tablet with determination in his eyes.

The Red Mother Mortal Slough swallowed his life calamity. At this moment, his own cultivation level is neither up nor down, nor complete. In this way, no matter what the fate is, he must survive this calamity!

"This calamity is special. Junior brother, please follow my command. The first step is to use your own divine blood to write your name on the stone tablet!"

The captain spoke solemnly and quickly.

Xu Qing nodded. Under the shocked gazes of all the beings here, he swayed straight towards the stone monument. When he got close, he raised his right hand, and a large amount of blood came out.

Using his palm as a pen and blood as ink, he suddenly made a stroke on the 100-foot stone tablet and wrote the first stroke of his name.

When this stroke fell, the stone tablet roared, Xu Qing's body shook violently, and when the blood in his body surged out uncontrollably, he breathed rapidly, continued to write as his cultivation continued.

After three strokes, Xu Qing trembled all over. He felt that his life was withering. A feeling of weakness spread throughout his body, and a large amount of water dropped out of thin air on his body, covering his whole body and flowing continuously.

The water droplets had a foul smell, like corpse water, and Xu Qing... was melting.

"This is the Five Elements Tribulation, little junior brother, remember not to lose yourself and come out!" the captain said anxiously.

Just as Xu Qing was about to respond, the next moment his body fell down and turned into a corpse that was wet from head to toe. The decomposition was so severe that even his appearance could not be clearly seen.

Only the dripping corpse water floated in the air, preserving Xu Qing's life-like appearance in the reflection of the water.

This is the drowned corpse of the Five Elements.

"Junior brother, come out from death to life!" the captain said in a low voice.

Everyone on the ground also changed their expressions one by one, Ling'er was even more anxious, but they couldn't help, it all depended on Xu Qing himself.

Fortunately, not long after, Xu Qing in the reflection opened his eyes, confused at first, and then clear.

In his feeling, time seemed to have passed endless years, and he had experienced countless drownings in his life, and the process of death was extremely real. He struggled again and again to keep his consciousness alive, and finally woke up.

After a while, Xu Qing stood up and walked out of the reflected water step by step until he left the water, and beside him was his corpse.

Standing under the stone tablet, Xu Qing looked at the red mother's body in the sky, and then at his own corpse, and suddenly had a realization.

"Is this my mortal transformation? Can this ritual allow people to form a mortal transformation?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Qing retracted his gaze, raised his hand, and continued to write his name on the stone tablet.

The fourth stroke, the fifth stroke, the sixth stroke.

The moment the sixth stroke fell, Xu Qing spurted out blood, and a wound appeared out of thin air on his stomach, as if a pair of invisible hands were pulling it apart.

The abdominal cavity was exposed.

The internal organs inside were disappearing, as if they were being hollowed out, and soon they were all gone. The great pain that followed made Xu Qing's body tremble, and he had to sit down, bending over in pain, as if he was worshiping.

This is the excavation of the five elements.

But soon, an illusory shadow appeared from the corpse, walked out, and transformed into Xu Qing again. He had also experienced countless such deaths. At this moment, his consciousness was a little blurry, but he still raised his trembling hands, Keep writing.

The seventh stroke, the eighth stroke, the ninth stroke...

A red vine appeared out of thin air, wrapped around Xu Qing's neck, and then wrapped around his body. Those vines were full of sharp thorns, piercing deeply into Xu Qing's body.

Gradually apply more force and slowly tighten until Xu Qing falls down and becomes motionless.

This is the Hanged Corpse of the Five Elements.

As the hanged corpse lowered its head, after a while, overlapping shadows appeared on it. Xu Qing walked out like a soul, leaving the body of death and standing in front of the stone tablet.

Xu Qing looked confused again. After a long time, he turned his head and looked at the drowned, dug up and hanged corpses on the side.

He remembered that there was a hanging attic deep in the ghost cave under Liyou Pillar at the beginning of Taichu.

There was a woman singing in the attic, and five corpses were sitting cross-legged in each of the five corners of the attic.

"It turns out that while she was suppressing the gods, she was also trying to become a god..."
