Outside Of Time

Chapter 1249 Be Careful, There May Be a Trap

Tuoshi Shan muttered to himself and took a big gulp of wine.

The nine figures beside him maintained their bowing postures, not moving at all.

They deeply respected this young master. His character and actions had earned their respect through numerous past experiences.

For example, this time around, the difference between the number of the young master's forbidden mountains and that of the human Xu Qing was extremely small. With the young master's family's ability, it would be easy for him to casually add a few more forbidden mountains.

Even if he didn't use his family's strength, as long as he spread the news, someone would naturally send the forbidden mountains over.

In fact, he could instruct them, and they could use other methods to make things difficult for Xu Qing.

However, they could already tell that the young master disdained such actions.

He was clearly interested in that human named Xu Qing and wanted to wait here to fight with him and determine the first place directly.

As for victory or defeat, they weren't worried.

From what they knew, the young master could easily suppress someone like Prince Mingnan.

The Mystic Heaven Bloodline was extraordinary.

Time flowed by. After Tuoshi Shan finished the seventh jar of wine, a rainbow rushed from the distant sky.

From afar, one could see the figures of Xu Qing and the other two.

Tuoshi Shan lifted his head and burped. A strange glint appeared in his eyes as he looked at the horizon and grinned.

"He's finally here."

The moment Tuoshi Shan looked at the sky, Xu Qing's gaze also landed on the mountain peak in front of him.

The moment he looked over, the expression of the captain behind him became a little solemn.

"Junior Brother, this person… isn't simple. From the qi and blood energy he revealed, his physical body has clearly reached the great circle of perfection in Nihility. His cultivation base is also the same."

"This person is only half a step away from the Soul Accumulation realm!"

"According to my understanding of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race's cultivation art, cultivators at this level like to choose the blood of divine creatures to awaken divinity!"

The captain's deep voice echoed in Xu Qing's mind.

Xu Qing could also tell how extraordinary the Flame Moon cultivator who was drinking at the top of the mountain was. That piercing gaze seemed to sting his eyes, and the scorching aura felt like facing a volcano. This allowed Xu Qing to make a judgment about the combat strength of this Flame Moon cultivator.

The other party's location happened to be the path he had to pass through. Moreover, from the looks of it, he was clearly waiting. In addition, there were more than 900 forbidden mountains above the other party's head.

His motive was self-evident.

"He's Tuoshi Shan!"

Qiu Quezi took a deep breath and quickly reminded.

Before the battle with Prince Mingnan, he had completed the task as instructed by Xu Qing. They met up later, and he followed Xu Qing. Along the way, he had seen how terrifying this human cultivator in front of him was.

He also knew Prince Mingnan had died. During this period, he had been shocked and nervous, but now he was indifferent to it all.

However, this indifferent heart still fluctuated.

"He is ranked fourth among the five heaven's chosens of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race!"

"He possesses the bloodline of the Mystic Heaven Family and has great innate talent. He was born with divine strength and has been blessed by the Moon Flame Temple five times. He is appointed by the Moon Flame High God to be the guardian of the temple once he reaches Soul Accumulation."

"He… can be said to be one of the most dazzling stars of our Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race!"

Qiu Quezi's words revealed the identity of Tuoshi Shan.

Xu Qing's heart was solemn but his expression didn't change at all. His speed also didn't decrease as he headed straight for the mountain the other party was on.

He could get past Tuoshi Shan if he moved with his full speed, and reach the Divine Mountain which was in the distance.

However, this was meaningless.

At the next instant, the mountain peak trembled.

Xu Qing directly landed on the top of the mountain and appeared in front of Tuoshi Shan.

The captain and Qiu Quezi also landed one after another.

The captain used a special way to transmit his divine sense to Xu Qing.

"The nine people beside him aren't simple either. You attack first and buy me some time. I'll trap them. After you snatch the mountains, head straight for the Divine Mountain!"

Xu Qing swept his gaze across the surroundings and finally looked at Tuoshi Shan, who was sitting in front.

Tuoshi Shan smiled and threw out a wine jar with a wave of his hand.

Xu Qing was a little surprised. His soul threads wrapped around it and it floated in front of him.

The smell of alcohol spread out. With Xu Qing's understanding of the Dao of herbs, he immediately determined what it contained.

It was a blood brew that greatly replenished qi and blood, and drinking it provided certain recovery and enhancement to the physical body.

"I didn't like Prince Mingnan either. Since you killed him, you are capable and bold. This jar of wine is for you."

As Tuoshi Shan spoke, he picked up his wine jar and lifted it. After toasting Xu Qing from afar, he took a big gulp.

Xu Qing fell silent. This Flame Moon heaven's chosen in front of him was different from the ones he had encountered on the way. However, he wouldn't easily drink the wine just because of this.

Tuoshi Shan clearly didn't care about this. After he finished drinking, he slowly stood up. His eyes revealed a hint of sharpness and the aura on his body spread out. In an instant, a storm brewed.

It was as though a storm had formed on his body and spread in all directions. From afar, the tornado that was connected to the sky circled around him.

The sky rumbled, forming a huge vortex. Bolts of lightning swam inside.

Because it was too close to the Divine Mountain, the phenomenon here immediately attracted the attention of the cultivators in the Divine City under the Divine Mountain.

Soon, figures flew out of the Divine City one after another. Wisps of divine sense also rapidly approached and stopped in the surroundings, paying close attention.

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes and his soul threads spread out. The god form instantly formed and his aura also shook the surroundings.

A hint of excitement flashed in Tuoshi Shan's eyes. He carefully looked at Xu Qing's god form and spoke after a moment of silence.

"Let's first establish the rules and stakes."

"In our battle, the loser can keep one forbidden mountain, as for the rest, they will be the stakes."

Xu Qing was surprised again. This Flame Moon cultivator in front of him was indeed different from the others.

"Also, there's no point in fighting directly like this. I heard that your sealing technique is quite extraordinary."

"And I also have a sealing technique."

"Why don't we act separately? I'll take the initiative to enter your seal and you'll enter mine as well. Let's see who can break through the other party's seal first."

"The side that walks out first wins."

Tuoshi Shan looked at Xu Qing with clear gaze and smiled. He could sense Xu Qing's aura. His premonition made him determine that once they fought, they probably wouldn't be able to resolve it in a short period of time.

Most importantly, he didn't want to be injured.

After all, this was only the first segment of the Grand Hunt. He had to maintain his peak might and obtain sufficiently powerful divine blood in the Divine Realm in the third segment.

Xu Qing fell silent. The captain stroked his chin and immediately transmitted his voice.

"Be careful, there may be a trap."

Xu Qing thought for a moment, but following the captain's previous approach seemed unreliable, and if they were to compete on sealing techniques…

"Alright!"

Xu Qing calmly spoke. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky. Immediately, the sky rumbled and a vast aura descended from the sky, suppressing the surroundings. At the same time, the image of a huge prison slowly appeared.

At first, it was still illusory but it quickly condensed. Its aura was violent like a waterfall, emitting waves of divine might.

It was D132.

After it appeared, the prison's gate silently opened. All kinds of strange cries disseminate out from the open gate.

Its appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding cultivators and divine senses. Tuoshi Shan also took a few more glances before taking out a tri-colored bead.

This bead shone and floated on its own, growing larger and larger in the air. In the end, it was a thousand feet in size and emitted a dense sealing power. There were also divine patterns flickering on it.

Interweaving with each other, they seemed to be arranged in a certain order. Eventually, they expanded outward, forming a golden light barrier. A gap appeared on top of it, splitting open outward like a door.

"Then, let's begin."

As Tuoshi Shan spoke, he directly flew toward the prison gate of D132.

Xu Qing also moved, heading straight for the gap on the tri-

colored bead.

Tuoshi Shan looked like a brute, but he matched Xu Qing's speed. Finally, at the same time as Xu Qing, they both stepped into each other's seals.

At the next instant, D132's gate closed and the gap on the tri-

colored bead disappeared.

The two of them were each sealed in the other party's seal.

In the tri-colored bead, the instant the gap closed, Xu Qing seemed to have entered a strange space. The first thing that entered his vision was black. It was like the night, endless and forming a seal.

After breaking through, a second color would appear.

Black, white, and red. Every color represented a type of seal.

If all three colors were broken, what would appear would be the tri-colored fusion restriction, forming an even more terrifying seal. Moreover, every time the three colors overlapped, it would be stronger than last time.

After continuously stacking, the sealing power would become extremely powerful.

As for Tuoshi Shan, what he had to face was misfortune and forgetfulness, as well as all the prisoners and the god's finger. For him, this experience was not only novel but also extraordinary.

Just like that, time flowed by. Fifteen minutes had passed, but the two of them were still trapped.

A rumbling sound echoed in their respective seals.

This lasted for an hour… two hours…

The subordinates of Tuoshi Shan revealed surprised expressions. It was the same for the captain. He understood Xu Qing's abilities, so he made some guesses about the seal that could trap him for such a long time.

Finally, when the sixth hour arrived, the captain's expression changed and the servants of Tuoshi Shan became solemn.

Although outsiders couldn't see the details due to the concealments of the seals, judging by the passage of time, they could imagine the difficulty of breaking these seals.

In reality, that was the case.

Within D132, Tuoshi Shan could no longer maintain his composure. His hair was disheveled and he was in a sorry state.

What was in a sorry state wasn't his body but his mind.

He was entangled by misfortune and had to go all out at every moment. In addition, forgetfulness had arrived, causing him to forget his goal many times. Hence, the disgusting feeling became increasingly intense.

He didn't care about the prisoners.

He had suppressed all the prisoners and destroyed them countless times. He didn't care much even about the god's finger. It was the first time he had seen such a weak god, and it had broadened his horizons.

"I might be facing challenges here, but it must be even more hard for Xu Qing over there. Besides, he can't possibly break out of my seal. When the three colors rotate to a certain extent, he will discover the final obstacle, one that cannot be broken by anyone below the Soul Accumulation realm. That's the gift I've left for him."

With these thoughts, Tuo Shishan balanced the torment he endured. Breathing heavily, bloodshot eyes, he continued his onslaught. After suppressing even the god's finger, he gasped for breath as he walked towards the revealed prison gate.

If he walked out of here, it would be considered breaking the seal.

Tuoshi Shan laughed.

At the same time, within the tri-colored space where Xu Qing was, the situation was equally challenging. He had exhausted almost all his means, but the three colors were endless, especially as they continuously merged and intensified, becoming increasingly formidable.

Although he continued to break through them, at that moment, when the three colors merged for the three hundredth time, within the light of these colors, there appeared a figure sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Looking at this figure, Xu Qing stopped in his tracks.

"Soul Accumulation!"

In this tri-colored space, the final hurdle was a Soul Accumulation soul.

He guarded the tri-colored space. As long as he didn't allow it, no one below the Soul Accumulation realm could walk out.

"You can't get out with me around."

That Soul Accumulation cultivator was an old man. At that moment, he opened his gaze and calmly spoke to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing remained silent.

At the same time, in D132 Prison, Tuoshi, who was standing in front of the prison gate, was also silent.

A sphere was embedded in the gate in front of him.

That was… the ancient sun, which was also an enhanced version of the Sun of Dawn.

If this gate was opened, the Sun of Dawn would self-destruct.

"How f*cking despicable!!"

After Tuoshi Shan recognized the sphere, he was stunned for a long time before he gritted his teeth and cursed.
