Outside of Time

"Sacred fire?"

Xu Qing's eyes focused on the shadow on the ground. In his eyes, the shadow trembled a few times, carefully conveying the emotional fluctuations.

"Fire... boom boom boom..."

Xu Qing was silent, he missed the ancestor of the Vajra Sect a little.

In fact, the emotional fluctuations here in Shadow can sometimes be understood, but more often it is difficult to accurately know the meaning.

The word "divine fire" is too sensitive. According to Xu Qing's understanding in the Moon Sacrifice Domain, it is the only way to become a god. Only by igniting the divine fire can one become a god.

Like the Chi Mother, like the Son of God, they all take this path.

However, the former succeeded, but the latter's divine fire was not completely ignited and burned itself.

Therefore, after hearing the word "Shenhuo" from Shadow, Xu Qing's heart fluctuated.

"Can you form divine fire?"

Xu Qing asked.

Shadow nodded first, then shook his head. Finally, he became anxious and simply...

"Boom boom boom..."

Xu Qing frowned, thought to himself, then raised his hand to arrange the surroundings, and then took out a piece of red mother's flesh and blood feathers.

Looking at the feathers, the shadows were excited and rolled on the ground, as if turning the floor tiles of the attic into a black quagmire.

After noticing the shadow's emotions, Xu Qing waved his hand and threw the feather out. Before it landed, the shadow eagerly rose from the ground, opened its mouth and swallowed the feather in an instant.

Its body was like a black hole that could swallow everything. Its feathers disappeared in the blink of an eye, and its shadow trembled violently at this moment and continued to expand outwards.

Xu Qing paid attention to the whole process, until half an hour later, the shadow's fluctuations slowly decreased, and finally stabilized, shrinking from all directions, and when it returned to Xu Qing's feet, the shadow's extremely longing emotion could be heard in it.

"It's delicious...swallow...want to..."

Xu Qing had thoughts in his eyes. After checking the remaining flesh and blood of his red mother, he endured the pain and took out a fist-sized piece.

Such a large piece immediately excited the shadow to the extreme, forming shadow thorns from the ground. All the eyes showed excitement as they kept rising and falling, and even the mouth opened wide, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.

Even in order to eat this piece of meat, the shadow formed a shadow tail and swayed on the ground like a puppy.

I don’t know if this is the knowledge it saw from the consciousness of someone whose body it once seized...

It still has an effect.

Xu Qing glanced at the shaking shadow tail on the ground and threw the flesh and blood in his hand to the shadow.

In an instant, all the shadow thorns went straight to the flesh and blood, covering it instantly. Then the sound of swallowing echoed, and the fluctuations of the shadow were even greater than before, like boiling, erupting.

But obviously such a large piece was a bit unbearable for it, so its body soon became unstable, until with a bang, the shadow's body collapsed directly, like an ink stand that fell to the ground, falling into pieces and breaking into hundreds of parts. .

The red mother's flesh and blood that was swallowed also fell out of her body.

But in the blink of an eye, the shadows shattered into hundreds of parts, like hungry wild dogs, quickly gathering towards the flesh and blood in all directions, covering it again, continuing to devour, and continuing to collapse.

Just like this, the shadow's persistence is most vividly displayed at this moment.

Until the sky dimmed slightly in the distance, after a night, the shadow shattered countless times, and finally swallowed the piece of flesh and blood bit by bit, and the body barely maintained its strength and no longer shattered.

But its heart is still not satisfied. At this moment, it is trying to keep its body intact while trying to spread flattering mood swings towards Xu Qing.

"Lord... be good... I... want..."

"I swallowed a whole piece, but nothing changed. What's the use of it?" Xu Qing said coldly.

He felt that there was a certain possibility in the shadow, that it could change but was deliberately suppressed. This speculation made Xu Qing unhappy in his heart.

So he had to activate the purple crystals to see if he could smash out whatever the shadow swallowed and at the same time use it as a deterrent.

Noticing the purple light appearing on Xu Qing's body, the shadow immediately trembled and quickly exuded the emotion of begging for mercy.

"Don't... don't eat... the restricted area... it's okay."

Xu Qing ignored it and directly suppressed it. In an instant, purple light emitted from Xu Qing's body and fell on the shadow. A wail came out, the shadow collapsed, and the half-eaten piece of flesh and blood fell out.

Xu Qing raised his hand and grabbed it from the air.

The shadow trembled and watched eagerly as Xu Qing took away his food. It was obviously anxious and quickly rotated around Xu Qing, forming a black vortex.

"Swallow...swallow..."

"Boom boom boom"

"I'm... powerful... useful!"

Shadow expressed quickly, Xu Qing looked at him coldly.

"No need for extra flesh and blood?"

"No...restricted area...but..."

Shadow conveyed emotions carefully.

Xu Qing did not continue speaking. He recalled that Shadow's previous climbs were all related to heterogeneity.

As for heterogeneity, in addition to its flesh and blood existence, there are many restricted areas in any area.

Therefore, out of the need for the shadow's promotion and the speculation about the word "divine fire" he said, Xu Qing's body disappeared into the attic in an instant and was already outside the county capital when he appeared.

His figure didn't pause at all. After being revealed, he took a step forward. The ground seemed to shrink under his feet, and every step fell into a large area.

The rules and laws can already be initially reflected in the Lingzang monks.

In this way, an hour later, Xu Qing had left the boundaries of the county capital and appeared in a nearby state.

This state is called Lingtu, and it is the smallest state in Fenghai County. It is named because there are many Lingtu restricted areas in it.

This spirit does not mean spiritual energy, but the spirit of the dead.

That forbidden area is a paradise for the undead and weird things. It's okay for ordinary monks to step into the edge. If they go into the depths, they will escape death. Only after reaching Nascent Soul and a certain amount of luck can they survive.

It is also the only way for the ghost ship to pass.

When Xu Qing came here, he saw the boat in the ghost shop.

Although it is still daytime, dark clouds are filling the air in the distance, the sky is getting dark, and a piece of mist is rolling in to cover the sky, making the light less and less, and the coldness spreading in all directions.

A dilapidated and huge ghost boat, looming in the mist, was moving forward in the sky.

Staring at the ghost ship, Xu Qing looked as usual.

He is no longer the same as he was then, let alone his former identity. As a county guard, he has luck to mobilize in this Fenghai County, and he is not too curious about the ghost boat he once rode on.

The ghost boat also showed respect to Xu Qing. After noticing Xu Qing's figure, the fog on the ghost boat solidified, and a large number of ghost figures rose up from the boat, floating outside and bowing to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded, passed by him, and headed towards the restricted area of ​​​​the spiritual land.

After his figure disappeared, the fog in the sky rolled again. The ghost boat continued to move forward and soon disappeared, and the sky became bright again.

After burning the incense, as Xu Qing moved forward, a forbidden area of ​​spiritual land was in sight.

There are a total of thirteen restricted areas of Lingtu in the entire Lingtu State.

Every place is very ancient and has gone through endless years. According to ancient records, it was formed in the era of Emperor Dongsheng.

It was originally a forbidden land of spiritual land, but changes occurred in later generations. Overnight, the forbidden land collapsed and turned into thirteen parts, becoming a forbidden area.

As for the reason, it is not recorded in any classics, but based on clues, some people analyze that a divine war may have occurred here.

But the truth is buried in history.

The restricted area that appeared in front of Xu Qing at this moment was similar in scope to the restricted area in the Nanhuangzhou scavenger camp. From a distance, it looked like a black jungle.

The grass and trees inside are all black, exuding the meaning of decay, and a rich heterogeneity spreads inside, forming a black mist that covers the restricted area. At the same time, bursts of roars that can be sensed by the soul echo in the depths of the restricted area at all times.

Even from a close distance, you can see some skeletons walking around in the jungle with the naked eye, and various strange things are also appearing and disappearing inside.

For example, right now, Xu Qing was standing outside the penalty area, and he could clearly see an old woman standing in the penalty area.

The old woman was wearing a shroud, her face was pale, and she was smiling at Xu Qing.

The smile was wide, revealing black teeth, and a strong corpse odor spread from his body and spread around.

Xu Qing's expression was as usual. As for the weird things, he had seen too many things all the way to this day. There was nothing surprising, they were just shadow food.

"I'll only give you one chance. If you still can't be promoted, then you won't be needed."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, and the shadow under his feet trembled. After a firm emotion was heard, it immediately spread along Xu Qing's feet towards the restricted area.

The moment the shadow appeared, the expression of the old woman who had been staring at Xu Qingxiao changed drastically, as if she had seen a natural enemy, she turned around quickly and planned to run away.

But it was still slower, and the shadow spread faster. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the restricted area to catch up with her. After being covered by her figure, the old woman immediately melted and disappeared into the shadow.

The shadow did not pause, while making the sound of chewing, it spread in all directions with all its strength.

Xu Qing did not follow. He stood outside the restricted area, relying on his mysterious connection with the shadow to sense every move of the shadow. Gradually, his expression showed a strange expression, which slowly turned into surprise, and finally he was shocked.

"What is it doing?"

In Xu Qing's perception, the scope of the shadow's spread this time was completely beyond the past, reaching an incredible level.

It actually spread throughout the restricted area!

And at the moment when the restricted area was covered by it, the restricted area gradually blurred in front of Xu Qing, as if it was being swallowed up!

Xu Qing quickly determined that this restricted area did not seem to be swallowed up, but... was really being swallowed up.

It became lighter and fainter, and the edge position had completely disappeared, until one day later, Xu Qing looked ahead in shock.

It was... empty.

The restricted area has disappeared!

From then on, Lingtu State was no longer one of the thirteen forbidden areas, but one was permanently missing!

It is swallowed by the shadow!

And on that empty land, the earth was gray, with no sign of life or the breath of death. The gray was like the background color of the world.

On top of this background is a squirming black shadow.

Waves of murmurs like gods were coming from the black shadow, echoing around the world.

"The three elements nourish the nine qi cloth and transform the five dust-shaped internal organs and the seven stars into the orifices, and the souls of all living beings go to hold the three-foot-high starlight and shine in the dark sky."
