Chapter 1087

This sweep of his gaze allowed this existence, who was second only to the Eight Great Stars in the Southern Star Ring, to immediately recognize Xu Qing!

The scenes of him once hunting down the other party and being escaped into the Ferryman's boat also surfaced in his mind in an instant.

But the next instant, what followed was disbelief, the explosion of heavenly thunder within his soul, and the raging storm in his heart.

He naturally... felt Xu Qing's difference!

He could not see the Law, could not recognize or understand it, but the spiritual sense formed by his cultivation allowed him to generate a life-and-death crisis so intense it was indescribable the moment his gaze looked over.

This sense of crisis was not even adequately described by "needles on his back," so it was not just his footsteps that paused.

It was also his heartbeat, his sea of consciousness, and his thoughts.

All were at this moment, as if facing a natural enemy!

His face changed drastically.

And Xu Qing, his expression as usual, only the coldness in his eyes affected space, rippled through time, and sealed time and space.

Between him and Li Mengtu, it was a Dao struggle; the other party was also honorable, and killing him would cause his own Dao to be borrowed, and his own time-space Law was also in response to the cause and effect of the other party's ancestors.

Added to the background, Xu Qing ultimately gave up.

But this red-haired young man was different!

Thus, killing intent arose, and time and space opened!

The heavens and earth blurred, and all things twisted. Under the spread of Xu Qing's time-space state of thinking, he was clearly still sitting cross-legged there, but shadows descended into this time and space.

The red-haired young man's pause seemed to become eternal, and everything in Xu Qing's eyes was incomparably clear.

It seemed to have become a painting.

Whether it was the past or the future, everything... was "seen" clearly.

Afterward, Xu Qing raised his hand and poked lightly.

Like a person outside a painting reaching out to poke the painting, poking a hole in the canvas, and also causing the person in the painting, along with his surroundings, to shatter one after another.

Manifested in reality, the space around the red-haired young man collapsed instantly, and time became chaotic in a flash.

His body was directly suppressed at this instant by a vast power that was indescribable and exceeded his ability to bear.

His soul could not escape either, emitting a shrill wail.

No matter how hard he tried, how he struggled, how he erupted, he was... unable to dodge, unable to block!

It looked like he was about to be destroyed in body and soul.

And just at this moment, Jiang Fan, who was from the same Southern Domain as him, raised his head and coughed lightly.

"This fellow Daoist, why such anger."

"If there is something, why not talk about it? There is no need to hurt people with a Law the moment you meet."

As his words spread, a mist appeared out of thin air around the red-haired young man, shrouding his entire body and covering everything.

As if painting the canvas black.

And this scene could not be seen by those who did not possess a Law.

Only those who possessed a Law could see the essence within, seeing the mist that covered the red-haired young man.

This mist was extraordinary, possessing the power of a Law.

It made Xu Qing unable to "see."

It was precisely the Earth's Qi rising, Heaven not responding, called Mist; Mist is called Obscurity.

Jiang Fan's Law was Obscurity, and the form it manifested was Mist.

Under the cover of this Obscure Mist, it was as if the red-haired young man himself did not exist, as if he had been plucked out of Xu Qing's time-space Law.

Only a Law can oppose a Law!

This was also the first time Xu Qing personally felt the confrontation between Law and Law.

That mist was rippling, possessing secrecy, hiding killing intent, containing death, and displaying a terror that made outsiders palpitate, but in Xu Qing's thinking...

This Law of Obscure Mist, while not bad and quite strange, was a bit thin.

Thus, Xu Qing sat cross-legged in place and emitted a calm voice.

"This moment is my emptiness, this emptiness is my time, disperse!"

At the same time the words were spoken, Xu Qing raised his hand, not caring about the spread of the Obscure Mist, and grabbed toward the location of the mist.

Under this grab, the time and space there immediately appeared to fluctuate violently.

These fluctuations came from the past, causing the past to begin to collapse, the future to become bubbles, and the present to turn into dust.

Time and space were influenced accordingly, with ripples coming from different times.

These ripples gathered, ultimately forming... a time-space storm.

And as the storm arose, Jiang Fan's Obscure Mist persisted for a few breaths before it could no longer continue and collapsed abruptly.

Earth's Qi, Heaven not responding, only then does Mist form.

If Heaven responds, this Mist cannot exist!

So the red-haired young man who had been covered appeared again.

He was still within Xu Qing's time and space, without the slightest change.

And as Jiang Fan's Obscure Mist dissipated, Xu Qing's raised hand fell without any obstruction.

He grabbed the red-haired young man's past, future, and present!

And squeezed hard!

The sound of cracking echoed in the ears of all living beings here.

The red-haired young man's body shook, his unwilling thoughts became eternal, and his desperate emotions became nothingness.

His past, everything that had already existed, collapsed completely and shattered at this moment.

His future, everything that had not yet happened, shattered like bubbles in an instant and was completely annihilated.

The present body that remained existed alone in this time and space.

But without the support of the past and the traction of the future, this present... also became a tree without roots.

It could not exist.

Thus, in the eyes of the crowd, the red-haired young man's body and soul dissipated silently, falling apart, and when they scattered down, they became dust.

With a gust of wind, he dissipated between the heavens and earth.

All directions were silent.

The people here, those cultivators who did not possess a Law, each had their souls trembling; this was a slaughter they could not understand, could not recognize, and could not perceive.

But it made them understand once again... the terror of a Law.

Fortunately, looking at the entire Fifth Star Ring's Sovereign realm cultivators, those who possess a Law and possess Law treasures are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

And in the silence of the crowd, Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and gazed at Xu Qing.

His previous intervention was not because he had a deep friendship with that red-haired young man; in reality, the two were only casual acquaintances.

The reason he intervened was more because they were both from the Southern Domain.

If he hadn't seen it, that would be one thing, but seeing a Southern Domain cultivator being killed right in front of him made him feel displeased in his heart.

But Xu Qing's Law... made him feel wary, and he had never heard of such a figure appearing in the Western Domain before.

Plus, he had seen the scene of Li Mengtu going to pay respects earlier.

Thus, he was lost in thought.

Yuanshan Su beside him also had a strange glint in her eyes as she looked at Xu Qing.

Her Law was Distant Mountains, which was also Weight.

Facing the gazes of the two, Xu Qing's expression did not change in the slightest, and he meditated calmly.

But Li Mengtu beside him had a sharp gaze at this moment, coldly looking at Jiang Fan and Yuanshan Su; his stance was already contained in this gaze.

Thus, Jiang Fan, who was already wary in his heart, slowly revealed a smile on his face, his expression gentle, as if he hadn't intervened earlier, and he spoke with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist's Law is quite extraordinary."

After speaking, he closed his eyes.

As for Yuanshan Su, she also smiled, and in her gaze toward Xu Qing, besides weight, there was also more interest.

Xu Qing ignored this.

This scene was awe-inspiring to others, and for Earth Spirit Ancestor, it was even more stimulating.

Compared to the Eight Great Stars, Earth Spirit Ancestor knew that in terms of identity or status, he was far inferior, and the battle between Law and Law, even if he couldn't see it, made his position more intuitive than others.

At this moment, a sense of relief also arose in his heart.

He was relieved that he hadn't fought Xu Qing back in the Time Desert.

Otherwise...

Earth Spirit Ancestor took a deep breath, and suddenly his mind became active; he felt that this might not be a bad opportunity for him.

An opportunity that others might dream of.

Thus, Earth Spirit Ancestor spoke in a low voice, with a respectful tone.

"My Lord, I remembered there is another important piece of information regarding this Aurora Xiangong..."

The form of address also changed unconsciously.

Xu Qing heard this, looked at Earth Spirit Ancestor, and waited for his words.

"My Lord, I said before that within this Aurora Xiangong, eight layers of worlds are known to exist."

"And the reason for determining which layer one has entered is that each layer has a boundary stele marking the layer number."

"Generally speaking, those at the Sovereign level enter the third layer world, and can only be in the third layer, unless one possesses a Law or is a Quasi-Immortal, only then can one enter the fourth layer and the worlds that follow."

"In order to obtain more opportunities and fortunes, it is said that if one can enter the eighth layer world, one can obtain the opportunity to achieve the status of a Xia Immortal."

"This is also the reason why Quasi-Immortals are attracted to come here!"

"And when the Immortal Fall Land opens, after everyone steps in, they are all in the same area, which is the Guest-Welcoming Terrace of the Xiangong."

"Anyone must choose the path they will take here, and there are three paths."

"The first path is straight ahead; it is said that there is a bridge there."

"The second path is on the left; that is a quiet little path."

"As for the right side, it is a black river with no visible end; that is the third path."

"Entering the Aurora Xiangong, throughout the ages, there have only been these three paths."

"And My Lord, remember: the bridge must not be stepped upon. According to records, five out of ten who step on it die."

"The path on the left, although also dangerous, has eight out of ten who enter survive; it is the best choice."

Earth Spirit Ancestor did not hide anything, truthfully informing him of the information he knew.

"What about the right side?"

Xu Qing asked.

It was not Earth Spirit Ancestor who answered him, but Li Mengtu on the side.

"Ten deaths, no life."

After speaking, Li Mengtu looked at Xu Qing.

"What this person said is indeed true. Of the three paths, only the left side is the safest, but the differences are not small."

"Walking the left path, at the end, one enters the third layer world directly; there is no possibility of heading to the first or second layers."

"Walking from the bridge, the end is the second layer world; although dangerous, there are more fortunes and opportunities, but walking this path, one cannot enter the first layer."

"As for walking on the right, it is the most complete; one will enter the first layer world, but so far, I have never heard of anyone walking this path and living."

Xu Qing nodded and was just about to speak when his heart suddenly moved, and he looked toward the core of the plain where the stone stele was located.

Spiritual energy surged there, echoing with a deafening sound, and amidst the roaring, spiritual energy surged like a tide, making the place like a sea eye, erupting outward.

A great wind arose.

A spiritual tide appeared.

It instantly swept in all directions, covering the entire plain.

Looking from afar, the spiritual energy was like a rising tide, sweeping over everyone, as if they were in the sea.

At the same time, a vast and majestic Xiangong slowly appeared on this spiritual sea.

In an instant, colorful rays of light appeared, which could be called brilliant.

Compared to it, the crowd was extremely small, as if entering the kingdom of giants.

And in the distance, more figures roared over.
