Chapter 1174: Time Amber

~10 min read 1,997 words

Xu Qing's childhood was full of displacement, experiencing many human sufferings, but he walked through them all by relying on his persistence to survive and trying his best.

Such experiences fostered his cautious character, his means of repaying every grievance, and also created cold-blooded slaughter, while his longing for knowledge and yearning for beauty turned into the undying light in his heart.

It was just that his heart had been locked by himself, not easily opened to the outside.

On the road of life afterward, there were twists and turns, but overall, looking at the trend, it was much better than his childhood, and his heart slowly opened.

It was just that although there were flowers blooming on this road, there was also withering.

As Xu Qing grew up, he opened his heart along the way and accepted the world, and figures were added within...

His heart had waves.

And also had a storm called extreme anger!

The first time he was this angry was the death of Captain Lei.

After that, it was the harm to Master Bai.

After that, it was the head of Sixth Uncle being thrown in front of him by his own brother, and learning the truth about Wushuang City.

As for the fourth time, it was the fall of the Sword-Wielding Emperor.

Now, it was the fifth time.

Everything in the illusion, looking at it when waking up, had many flaws, but being in it, the perception was completely different. He seemed to have truly experienced everything, and after learning that all the people he was familiar with had dissipated, he felt that extreme pain, that nothingness of heart and soul.

This feeling, with Xu Qing's awakening at this moment, was as strong as the pain had been, and his anger was now just as monstrous.

Thus, facing the voice of this True God who hadn't completely returned and was in the process, Xu Qing didn't have any verbal response.

The aura on his body, the bloodshot eyes, and the strong fluctuations emanating from his whole body had turned into extreme killing intent, merging from every part of his body into his Immortal Embryo, and into the Aurora Xiangong.

Erupting!

The starry sky roared, and the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven also appeared with ripples. In this starry sky, Xu Qing's Immortal Embryo was supreme, the Aurora Xiangong within it fully manifested, carrying heaven-shaking power, and smashed toward the half-human, half-spider god!

The roaring sound exceeded the previous one.

The Aurora Xiangong shone with endless immortal light, and the moment it fell, that True God in the process of returning wanted to dodge, but...

At this moment, He was in the process of returning, so He was extremely weak.

At the same time, the backlash of His divine grid technique also brought Him soul-level extreme pain, and the wails in His mouth simply couldn't be controlled.

In addition, the suppression from the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven was not something a weak True God like Him could resist.

These factors accumulated together, making His dodging unsuccessful.

It was smashed directly on His body by the vast and astonishing Xiangong.

Under one strike, the True God shook violently, His body sinking uncontrollably, golden blood spat out, and His carrier body also appeared with cracks, and greater pain swept across like a storm.

He wanted to counterattack.

But the next instant, Xu Qing, who was at the peak of anger, how could he give Him a chance.

The Aurora Xiangong's light rose again, the shining light shot into the starry sky, pulling more power, and... smashed again!

Roaring sounds, accompanied by the miserable sounds of this True God, echoed.

This True God in the process of returning had even more cracks in His body, especially the half-spider body, which was now about to fall apart, emanating thick source essence.

But He was still struggling, and by borrowing the emanating source essence, He wanted to form divine techniques.

But Xu Qing had already escaped death before, so how could he not be on guard? At this moment, he took a step and had already entered the Aurora Xiangong, sitting cross-legged in the main hall within.

The Aurora Xiangong was illusory in the outside world, but it was real in this Heaven-Beyond-Heaven.

Sitting within it, holding the authority, Xu Qing at this moment was the Lord of the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven.

Although his cultivation was insufficient and his means lacked effective sanctions for a True God, but... this Xiangong itself was the best killing weapon!

He didn't need divine arts. At this moment, any Dao method couldn't let Xu Qing's inner anger be vented more thoroughly; only... pure violence!

Thus, as his thoughts moved, the Aurora Xiangong smashed toward the True God in the process of returning again!

Once, twice, three times...

Xu Qing was venting!

The roaring sound was deafening, drowning out the miserable sounds from this True God.

The cracks in His body were also dense, and finally, amidst the wails, half of the spider body collapsed and fell apart.

The remaining half of the human body now had much weaker light in its eyes.

It was just that soul pain and flesh pain, all of this at this moment, were not the source that this True God feared the most.

What He truly feared was... the black hole below!

That was the prison formed by the power of the entire Heaven-Beyond-Heaven, the sinking prison. Once He fell into it, wanting to return again in this life would be nearly impossible!

Amidst the smashing of the Xiangong, His body was constantly being pushed closer to the black hole.

At the critical moment, the light in His eyes suddenly shone brightly, actually turning into golden fire, spreading from His eyes, not to burn the surroundings, but to flow through His whole body.

He was actually choosing to burn Himself!

Wanting to self-destruct!

Because the destruction of the carrier, for Him, although it meant the failure of the return, it would also erase all traces of Him!

In this way, He might not have no chance of returning in the future.

But if this carrier remained and was suppressed in the black hole, then He would really have no chance.

So at this moment, He didn't hesitate at all, not only burning the carrier but also burning the divine grid that had returned by half, wanting to shatter the divine grid as well.

Even if, for this, He would pay a huge price and need a long time to recover.

But for gods, the least lacking thing was time!

He could continue to wait!

And His burning was incomparably decisive and extremely rapid, almost impossible to block.

In the blink of an eye, it was about to burn out completely. This moment was also the moment He was extremely weak.

But He underestimated Xu Qing!

Xu Qing, sitting cross-legged in the Xiangong, stared fixedly at the True God who chose to burn Himself, the coldness in his eyes still strong.

He knew that True Gods are immortal.

So this time, the purpose of his strike naturally wasn't to slaughter, but to make the other party suffer extreme pain!

So, how could he let the other party really succeed in leaving, returning...

It's not that you want to end it, so it ends!

The next instant, Xu Qing's right hand was raised suddenly, and a Dao sound came from his mouth.

"Seal!"

The Blue Heaven shook, and in an endless range, countless stars, countless star systems, countless universes, at this moment, under Xu Qing's Xiangong authority, in his mastery of this Heaven-Beyond-Heaven...

Instantly sealed!

This Heaven-Beyond-Heaven was isolated as a whole, cutting off the inside and outside completely!

Turning this Heaven-Beyond-Heaven into a vast prison!

However, the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven belongs to a part of the Upper Star Ring, and True Gods are immortal. Their true name return and departure are the favor of the Upper Star Ring itself toward gods, like fish swimming in the sea.

Therefore, this kind of isolation wasn't thorough; it was like a fishing net, although it covered it, there were gaps.

However, Xu Qing's means naturally wouldn't be just these.

At the same time, there was another item on Xu Qing's body that flew out of the Xiangong!

Floating in the starry sky outside the Xiangong!

That was an hourglass!

That was the time-space supreme treasure he obtained from the mirror history of the Aurora Xiangong!

What it contained was an extra hour that transcended this time and space!

Can add an extra hour of time to any time.

And it cannot be erased!

It exists outside of time and space, outside of light and shadow!

Not restricted by any time and space!

Can be used arbitrarily by those who master the time-space Constitution, whether it is normal flow, acceleration, or slowing down.

And the limit is one hour!

After appearing at this moment, with a crack, the hourglass shattered, and the sand inside emitted five-colored light, suddenly spreading out, at the moment when the burning True God's body and divine grid were about to dissipate...

This piece of sand covered Him!

Extending this one hour for Him!

An hour that didn't contain any karma and didn't belong to this time and space!

And the effect, under the control of Xu Qing's time-space Constitution, was to forcibly stretch His departure and His own burning, making it slow.

Making that one breath become this extra hour in the present world!

If the closing of the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven was like a fishing net falling into the sea, then the appearance of this time-space sand was to make the fish that was about to escape the fishing net slow down itself!

Making His departure no longer rapid!

Making His weak state continue!

This scene caused waves in the starry sky, and vaguely, there was a thought of a true name, carrying disbelief, echoing in the void.

Xu Qing also stood up from the Xiangong at this moment, and with extreme coldness in his eyes, he took a step out, appearing in the starry sky, appearing in front of the True God who was extremely weak and whose one breath was stretched to an hour.

"Like other people's pain?"

Xu Qing spoke slowly, saying the first sentence since the battle began.

This sentence contained coldness.

"Then, you taste it too."

Xu Qing raised his hand, and a giant ice coffin appeared suddenly.

This coffin exuded cold air and possessed nine colors.

It was exactly the ice coffin that Xu Qing obtained from the Huntian Royal Clan, the one prepared by the Aurora Immortal Lord and his wife for their child back then, which had once frozen the Aurora Young Lord inside, keeping him in an infant state.

What was frozen was not just the flesh, but also the soul, and even time.

That was, after all, an item of the Immortal Lord, and its power was naturally astonishing.

At this moment, Xu Qing took it out, and with a wave of his hand, the coffin headed straight for the burning True God, covering Him inside, and as the lid of the coffin fell with a roar, the freezing was completed!

Sealing the True God who was burning and hadn't completely finished the return state inside.

And also sealing time together!

In this way, to a certain extent, this True God was solidified in the state of return.

Unable to truly leave, and unable to truly return.

Like... a time-space amber!

From now on, He would be immersed in endless burning pain, sinking into the beginningless and endless.

True Gods are immortal; this was no longer the blessing of the Upper Star Ring toward Him, but had become a curse!

At the same time, in this state, there was also an endless stream of source essence continuously emanating, like spirit stones! ===== CHAPTER 1177 =====

At the same time, in this state, there was also a continuous stream of source quality being emitted, appearing just like spirit stones!
