out of time

Chapter 555 Fighting against the sky, there is no day to replace

The jade slip of the map given by the captain, obviously the direction of the previous investigation was not here, so the records are not very detailed, but only roughly pointed out.

But it also expresses that the alliance of these two races is not a human race.

They are the Mirror Clan and the Sky Face Clan.

The ones who appeared in front of Xu Qing asking for guidance were the Mirror Shadow Clan.

The body of this family is a mirror, from the small lens of the juvenile body, until it grows to be extremely huge.

Belongs to one of the strange ethnic groups.

It is also a new ethnic group that appeared after the arrival of the remnant face of the gods.

The people of this family are hermaphrodites, and their reproduction speed is extremely fast, and their talent is that they can reflect their enemies in their own mirrors, thereby controlling them to a certain extent.

There are even some who like to enslave foreigners and parasitize themselves.

But to be able to do this requires a stronger talent, and only the nobles in this family can do it.

And the members of the Mirror Shadow Clan who are blocking Xu Qing at this moment are just the border guards of this clan, and most of their cultivation bases are in the form of foundation building, which is similar to Xu Qing's current status.

So they dared to hide their malice in front of Xu Qing. It seemed that as long as Xu Qing couldn't express his identity, they would rush out and kill him in an instant.

After all, the human race, in their eyes, is just an inferior race.

Xu Qing was expressionless, and looked at these Mirror Shadow tribe members with cold eyes. He remembered the malicious eyes of the other party.

But this is not the time to make a move. After all, this place belongs to the other party, so after Xu Qing swept past them, he focused on looking at himself reflected in the mirror.

Then he took out the Yin Yang Hua Jian Zong Yu Jian given by the captain and threw it over, he wanted to see how the other party touched the real thing.

In the next moment, a member of the Mirror Shadow Clan, Xu Qing's figure refracted in the mirror, stretched out his hand from the mirror.

This person's hand was the same as Xu Qing's in the mirror, but when he stretched it out, it turned into a black air, and he grabbed the jade slip, as if he was inspecting it.

Soon, they found out the results, and they frowned.

The malice and greed in his eyes did not dissipate too much, and he looked at Xu Qing repeatedly, obviously unwilling to let him go like this.

Xu Qing's eyes were cold, and the two sides confronted each other.

After a while, the members of the Mirror Shadow Clan looked at each other and chose to restrain themselves.

Apparently, the tiger skin of the Yin Yang Hua Jian sect still had the function, so in the end these mirror shadow clan guards landed on the ground again, merged into the ground, and disappeared.

Xu Qing took a look at the place where they hid, and the dark black soil there was as usual.

This scene made Xu Qing feel strange.

"Why do they blend into the ground?"

Xu Qing was puzzled, this point was not marked on the jade slips of the map.

So Xu Qing paid attention to this matter, and after taking back the jade slips, he walked to the distance and entered the land where the two clans were united.

Although the ground here is also dark black, the sky is not the same as that of the small altar. I don't know if it is because of the proximity to the sea of ​​fire, but the sky here is obviously brighter.

And the earth finally has no bone pit.

Villages and towns came into Xu Qing's eyes as he walked forward.

It is different from the towns of the human race.

The cities of the Mirror Shadow Clan are often made of clay, and they look pitch-black, like earthen castles.

Xu Qing walked all the way and saw a lot, all of them were like this.

Even larger cities are at best earth castles with a more complicated scope and structure.

On the whole, it is full of gray and rough.

But in the Mirror Shadow Clan, everything is quiet, there is no jokes, no hustle and bustle, only a mirror, walking around in the earth castle, occasionally flying.

All the Mirror Shadow Clan don't seem to like to talk too much, they often communicate with each other just by looking at each other.

Such a group is destined to be xenophobic.

The appearance of Xu Qing caught their attention. Malicious eyes kept coming from all directions along the way, but Xu Qing hadn't met anyone who took the initiative.

And the Mirror Shadow Clan is not everyone's cultivation, there are more ordinary people, but none of their bodies is mirror-like, and there are cracks in them, some of them have seven or eight holes, and many of them are innumerable.

The latter are often weak and lifeless.

In addition, they have different shapes, some are human, some are animal, and they all look dirty.

There are even countless pieces of mirrors pieced together, which is very weird. At the same time, Xu Qing also discovered that there are human races in the alliance of these two races.

It's just that the human race here is obviously a disadvantaged group, and there are not many of them. Most of them live in the city of the mirror and shadow clan, and their status is low.

When they saw Xu Qing, their expressions were mostly numb.

Xu Qing looked at these, powerless to change.

Although it is not very far from the human race area, especially after the return of the Shenglan tribe, there is only a long river of sacrificial yin, but no one can dissolve the curse in this area.

In fact, the human race is also like this in other domains. Due to the unification of the ancient emperor Xuanyou, too many domains in this Wanggu continent are the territory of the human race. Therefore, the defeat of the Dongsheng human emperor has caused countless human races to be separated. Come, hard to return.

And after a generation, there may be rises, but most of them have become inferior groups.

Some of them still know that they are human races, and some of them have gradually forgotten tens of thousands of years later, and their bloodlines are also extremely heterogeneous.

There are also some who are looking in the direction of the human imperial capital Dayu, eager to return.

But the long distance and the intricate relationship between the various domains make only the strong qualified to return, while countless ordinary people do not have this ability.

They can only wait, wait until one day, maybe a new ancient emperor of the human race will appear, who will dominate the past and allow them to return.

The tens of thousands of years of waiting has become a luxury that has become increasingly fading from generation to generation.

All of this, Ling'er also sighed.

Because the same is true for the Ancient Spirit Race, they waited longer and longer, but still had no results.

Although the ancient Linghuang seems to be still there, Lingyuan's experience made Ling'er doubt the ancient Linghuang in her heart. She didn't know if the other party was still the Linghuang who once led the ancient spirit clan to dominate the ancient times.

Seeing this, Xu Qing could only leave silently, stepping from the range of the Mirror Shadow Clan into the Tianmian Clan.

The land where this tribe is located has very few plains and is dominated by mountains.

They are also a strange ethnic group, but their bodies have flesh and blood, but all the clansmen wear a mask on their faces, or the mask is their face.

As for the body shape, it is similar to the human race, but taller.

Most of the clansmen are more than ten feet tall, and the masks on their faces are not conventional facial features, but have various patterns.

The evil in them is stronger than that of the Mirror Shadow Clan. Wherever Xu Qing has gone, anyone who sees him is ready to move.

However, the aura from Xu Qing's body made many members of the Tianmian clan restrain their malice, but some were not open-eyed.

When Xu Qing was walking along the mountains, he encountered several ambushes.

The result can be imagined.

And the city of this family is as tall, and there is an unpleasant smell, which makes people uncomfortable.

But the people of this clan obviously swallow the breath here all the year round, so they can't smell it, and they have long been completely used to everything here.

Xu Qing didn't see the human race here.

He just saw a restaurant in a Tianmian clan's city.

The owner of the store is an old couple from the Tianmian clan. The masks on their faces are full of kindness, but among the bones hanging a lot of meat at the door, there are human bones and bones of their own clan.

If you are weak, you will be swallowed.

Either way, it's all the same.

In Southern Huangzhou, it was not uncommon for people to eat people at the bottom.

"Troubled times..."

Xu Qing sighed softly, and left here until he arrived at the destination of this trip at the border of the Tianmian Clan.

The sky is full of flames.

What caught Xu Qing's eyes was a boundless crimson-red magma, on which flames rose, as if eternal, covering his sight.

This area is too big, even if Xu Qing takes off to see it, he still can't see the end.

Under the reflection of the sea of ​​fire, the sky here was brightly lit, and when the flames were raging, the extreme high temperature spread from the front.

There are also bursts of roars reverberating in the sea of ​​flames, and sometimes you can see bubbles exploding on the surface of the magma, splashing a lot of ground fire, as if a flower that destroys the world blooms.

After staring at it for a while, Xu Qing rushed out, roaring forward amidst the bursting of the world-killing flowers.

He didn't intend to absorb the fire here immediately, but was going to check it out as a whole to find the most suitable place to practice.

After all, he doesn't know if there will be some strange appearances when he refines the life lamp, which will cause unnecessary trouble and prying eyes.

And monks here are not uncommon.

After all, the fire here still has a way to get out of the outer domain. After a certain degree of preservation, its power is not bad, and it is also helpful for alchemy and refining tools.

So it has the value of being a commodity.

There are even some who are already good at the practice of fire, and they will choose to practice here.

Therefore, whether it is an outsider or a local cultivator, Xu Qing can be seen from time to time while flying.

Some of them are alone, some are in small groups, and there are all ethnic groups.

And most of them are wary of each other, often when outsiders approach, they will immediately show their vicious intentions and quickly distance themselves.

But on the whole, there are still most monks from the Mirror Shadow Clan and the Sky Face Clan.

And dealing with this sea of ​​fire all year round, they naturally have too many ways to avoid the heat here and improve their resistance here.

At the same time, Xu Qing also discovered something special. There are some monks here, holding something like a compass in their hands, walking forward, as if they are looking for something.

Xu Qing pondered, he didn't have a comprehensive understanding of this sea of ​​fire, and it was not suitable to ask questions here, so he began to observe habitually.

In this way, during this observation, Xu Qing galloped across the sea of ​​flames. Although his speed was restrained, he was not slow. It was only three days, but he still hadn't seen the end of the sea of ​​flames.

"This area is too large, if you want to go through it all, it will take a long time..."

But for those monks holding compass, Xu Qing also saw the answer in these three days.

They are looking for a white stone.

This kind of stone seems to be a natural formation of this sea of ​​fire. It is similar to Lingshi, but it is obviously more valuable, and the number is not very large. It is often hidden under the magma and needs a compass to sense and collect it.

Xu Qing saw this from a distance.

But the other party was extremely vigilant and showed hostility. Xu Qing knew how to measure, so he never approached, and left quickly after solving the confusion.

After flying for a few more days, until it was completely deep into the sea of ​​flames, and few monks around could see it, Xu Qing gave up his original idea.

"It's better to try it here first!"

Xu Qing pondered, lowered his head to look at the sea, then raised his hand to spread out his protection, and landed on Ling'er.

Ling'er knew that Xu Qing wanted to practice, so she obediently didn't disturb her, but said something crisply.

"Brother Xu Qing, I'm sure I'll succeed. My talent can show a little bit now, and I can help Brother Xu Qing feel whether there are bad people around!"

Xu Qing smiled. In this strange world, all he saw these days was darkness, but with Linger's company, he didn't feel lonely.

So after nodding his head, Xu Qing arranged everything, with anticipation in his eyes, and went straight to the sea below.

It fell instantly, flames rose around him, and the purple crystal in Xu Qing's body vibrated actively.

As Xu Qing opened his mouth to inhale, the surrounding flames rushed straight into his mouth. After being swallowed by Xu Qing, he thought for a while and raised his hand to touch the surface of the magma.

The temperature is high.

But the hand is fine.

"My body should be able to withstand it." Thinking of this, Xu Qing sank directly into the magma.

When most of his body melted into him, Xu Qing took a breath. He felt the extreme high temperature enveloping himself, and that scalding sensation formed a tingling pain.

"It can't go any further."

Xu Qing murmured, while being vigilant in all directions, he opened his mouth and continued to inhale the surrounding flames.

Soon, the purple crystal in his body was continuously absorbed, and six rays of light shone out, completely reflecting Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

Under this light, the fog of life became less blurred, and the five lights of life within it became clearer.

Xu Qing was full of anticipation. Although he couldn't control the direction of the light formed by the purple crystal, as long as the life mist reflected from the sea of ​​consciousness, the first thing to be reflected must be the big black umbrella life lamp.

Under the reflection of the six rays of light, the life lamp he obtained from the Mermaid Island Temple back then showed signs of melting again.

The sharp point formed by an umbrella bone is no longer sharp, but gradually becomes round and irregular, until it finally turns into a drop of liquid and falls down.

When this drop of liquid hit the sea of ​​consciousness, it thundered in Xu Qing's mind like thunder from the sky.

As his body trembled, wisps of marvelous matter from the Life Lamp scattered in his sea of ​​consciousness and merged into his blood.

Everything is the same as what Xu Qing verified before.

Xu Qing's eyes were bright, and he took a deep breath, sucking in more flames, forming six purple lights again, and continuing to refine.

An hour later, the second drop of liquid dripped from the life lamp of the big black umbrella, and in the process, the Nascent Soul formed by the life lamp also transformed out, and began to blur as the life lamp melted.

Xu Qing immediately paused and observed carefully.

After confirming that his Nascent Soul was not damaged, but merged with it in the melting of the life lamp, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

In this way, three days passed.

Under the sufficient flame, Xu Qing continued to melt the life lamp, and gradually [-]% of his big black umbrella was melted.

At this moment, it does not look like a life lamp, but a remnant umbrella.

And the concentration of the wonderful substance that makes up the life lamp in his blood has also increased accordingly.

Xu Qing has a strong feeling that when the concentration reaches a certain level, there is a high probability that he will be able to create his own life lamp.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's breathing was slightly rapid, but he restrained himself from absorbing the flames, got up and left the place quickly.

After moving on for a day, I changed positions and sank in the magma again, absorbing it again.

Being in an unfamiliar environment, Xu Qing's vigilance and prudence seem to have returned to the time when he first entered Qixuetong.

He knew that he couldn't stay in one place for too long, otherwise, the level of danger would increase.

After changing the position now, Xu Qing first checked the surroundings to make sure that there is no obstacle here.

"Unfortunately, this sea of ​​flames is not suitable for arranging formations, otherwise it would be much simpler."

Xu Qing muttered, after thinking for a while, his body slowly became blurred, turning into the translucent state of the Youyou clan.

In this way, hide yourself, and then absorb the surrounding flames.

The life lamp of the black umbrella, which was already out of shape, melted again under the continuous reflection of rays of light from the purple crystal, but the more the last, the slower the melting of the life lamp.

This is especially true of the position of the lampstand.

So three days later, when Xu Qing changed positions again, the melting of the life lamp reached [-]%.

"It's okay, there's enough time!"

Xu Qing was not in a hurry, and continued to maintain his own rhythm, not staying in any place for more than three days, changing positions again and again, and absorbing again and again.

In this way, his big black umbrella life lamp gradually melted from [-]% to [-]%, [-]%, [-]%...

During this period, some red crystals were also formed from him, and every time one was formed, he immediately took it away.

Xu Qing is not sure what this thing is, but it is not good to be exposed.

And his caution is not in vain.

"High-grade Skyfire Crystal!!"

On the Skyfire Sea, a group of Mirror Shadow Clan monks was galloping forward in mid-air at this moment.

They are different from the clansmen that Xu Qing sees in the Mirror Shadow Clan. Their bodies are not mirror bodies, but they have flesh bodies, but they don't look the same as each other.

And there is a diamond-shaped lens between the eyebrows of each of them, the color is red, without any cracks, and without any dirt, it looks extremely transparent.

They are descendants of nobles in the Mirror Shadow Clan, their bloodlines are far beyond that of ordinary clansmen, and they all enslaved foreign clans to become their own puppet bodies.

The person in charge is a mirror monk with three pairs of wings on his back. His whole body is covered with pitch-black scales, and he holds a compass in his right hand, with a location marked on it, shining bright red light.

"I was lucky today, and found a top-grade skyfire crystal!"

"Most of these high-grade skyfire crystals are hidden in the deep seabed. Occasionally, a few of them will burst out with the explosion of the magma flower, but there are not many of them."

"Let's go quickly. If we go too late and are found by other parties, we will have to fight again."

These Mirror Shadow Clan monks spoke in a low voice, with excited expressions on their faces, and accelerated forward.

But in the next moment, their expressions changed, and the red dot on the compass in the leader's hand disappeared immediately.

"Damn it, it was taken away!"

"Let's go ahead and see who snatches this crystal!"

Similar things didn't just happen to them. At this moment, there were some monks on another sea surface, each of them had their own investigations, and some even noticed that it wasn't just one time.

"It appears once every two or three days, and disappears instantly every time it appears."

"Then how did you manage to find and take away the cultivation of the Skyfire Crystal so quickly?"

Farther away, the monks from the Tianmian tribe also noticed this scene with a compass. Outsiders don't know the meaning of the top-grade skyfire crystal, but they who have been here all the year round know its value too well.

"This kind of sacrificial objects can appear one after another in a short period of time, there must be a reason!"

"Go ask the national teacher to come, his old man's compass can locate more accurately, and even penetrate a certain degree of fire box!"

When the outside world was turbulent, Xu Qing was melting the life lamp in his body with all his heart. At this moment, his black umbrella life lamp had melted to as much as [-]%, and it was only a little short of completely melting.

"One day at most!"

Xu Qing's eyes showed a strange light, and he looked around. Although he didn't know the waves in the outside world, Mosang Dragon sent many warnings these days, which made Xu Qing even more vigilant.

So he looked down at the magma submerged in his chest, gritted his teeth, and sent Ling'er into his Mosang Dragon Heavenly Palace, and then his body sank into the magma suddenly.

In an instant, magma covered it, and everything around it was as usual.

Xu Qing's breath was also wiped away by the magma.

But he couldn't sink too deep, at most it was half a foot deep. In the indescribable heat that filled his whole body, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and galloped inside the magma.

In this way, the breath and traces of oneself are completely dispersed.

It wasn't until he was far away from the previous position and he reached his limit that he crossed his legs again and absorbed it all over his body.

In the next moment, endless flames poured into Xu Qing's body, and the purple crystal shook slightly, emitting more rays of light.

In this way, time slowly passed.

Ten hours passed in a flash, and Xu Qing's black umbrella life lamp shattered, and the last residue turned into a drop of turbid liquid, dripping into Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

With a bang, the water droplets burst, and the lingering sound continued.

It took nearly a month for the Black Umbrella Life Lamp to completely dissolve.

The lingering sound reverberated, like the wind blowing on the surface of the water, causing infinite ripples, and then blowing on the sky, attracting billowing thunder and rumbling explosions.

At this moment, Xu Qing's body trembled violently uncontrollably. Inside the magma, his eyes suddenly opened, fearlessly scorching hot, and a cloud of mist quickly filled his eyes, twisting and changing, so that he would not be attacked by the magma. .

At this moment, in his blood, the concentration of the mysterious substance that makes up the lamp of life has reached the extreme.

As the sky thunder continued to roar, and as the magma churned around Xu Qing, a huge vortex, centered on Xu Qing, appeared in the sea of ​​flames.

Distorted in all directions, the rotation speed of this vortex is obviously extremely fast, but in the area of ​​the sea of ​​fire that is thousands of feet away, it seems that it has not been noticed, it has not been dragged in the slightest, and everything is as usual.

Only within a thousand feet, the time seems to be different.

During the extreme rotation of the vortex, Xu Qing crossed his legs inside, with uncertain light and dark lights shining on his body, a breath of leaping life was forming and exploding on his body.

And the bigger storm happened in Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, where the life lamp of the big black umbrella disappeared.

A series of purple silk threads radiated from Xu Qing's body and converged there.

Under this continuous integration, a new life lamp is being formed.

This life lamp is completely derived from Xu Qing's blood, and it is unique in this world!

Any ancient emperor, any ruler, the shape of their life lamp is the same.

And throughout the ages, after the arrival of the remnant face of the gods, those who can also become the rulers, looking at the entire Wanggu Continent, are rare and extremely rare.

Therefore, the appearance of a new life lamp is also like this.

But at this moment, such a life lamp that has never appeared in the world, it is being born!
The first thing that appeared was a purple round jade plate, which stood on a slant, with twelve hour scales appearing around it. On each scale, there were a large number of runes, which made the purple jade plate look extremely complicated and full of The meaning of mystery.

And in the middle position, at this moment, under the gathering of purple silk all over Xu Qing's body, a sundial needle was gradually formed on it! !

There is also a group of lights, with the sundial needle as the center, floating up and turning around.

If you look carefully at the lights, you can see that the cross-legged person inside is Xu Qing's Nascent Soul!

The light he emitted fell on the sundial, forming a pointer-like shadow with the disk, and it was moving slowly!
This is... a sundial!
Xu Qing's life lamp!
The purple jade is the plate, and the green gold is the needle.

The lights surround the sky, and the years become shadows.

It is the sundial's luck that goes on and the time is eternal, competing with the sky and changing the time without the sun! ——
