Outside Of Time

1140 Three Slashes to Kill Tian Lan

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, King Tian Lan calmly scanned the sky with his divine sense.

He wanted to see what other reliance Fenghai County had besides the Sun of Dawn.

Regardless of what it was, it wouldn’t matter to him. He didn’t become a Heavenly King because of his family but because of his Soul Accumulation cultivation.

As one of the 33 Heavenly Kings of the human race, although he wasn’t the strongest, his identity, status, and combat strength allowed him to have the confidence to face the vast majority of situations in this world.

Let alone this Holy Wave Large Region which was just a remote countryside.

He knew that before this generation’s Grand Duke Holy Wave had stepped into the Soul Accumulation realm, and that there had been no Soul Accumulation in the Holy Wave Large Region for countless years. To the people here, the Soul Accumulation… was no different from a god.

They were like heavenly might that couldn’t be resisted or shaken.

As the last large race to unify Wanggu, although the human race had experienced many bumps and could barely be considered one of the large races now, the number of their Soul Accumulation cultivators had surpassed the Black Heaven Race’s.

Hence, if humans had wanted to take back the Holy Wave Large Region that was previously attached to the Black Heaven Race, it would be extremely simple.

It was also possible to recover the enclaves in other regions.

However, the price of doing this wasn’t small and the situation didn’t allow it. They would have to face many nonhuman races and this would put great pressure on them.

This was because the large regions where the seven enclaves were located all had complicated connections. Behind them, there were large races with regional treasures.

Previously, the human race didn’t have any regional treasures.

Therefore, they could only endure it.

Only by possessing a regional treasure could one possess a certain level of self-protection ability.

This was also the reason why many nonhuman races invaded the human race during the battle in Fenghai County. However, as soon as the Sun of Dawn appeared, the races were shocked and retreated one after another.

However, regional treasures alone weren’t enough.

What was more important than the regional treasure was the god.

The god was the root of determining whether a race was strong or not.

In front of the god, be it the Soul Accumulation or the regional treasure, they were all useless. This was also the reason why the Black Heaven Race’s strength was clearly inferior to the human race but they could still make the human race wary.

Gods could overturn everything.

The root of the Black Heaven Race’s defeat was their god, Crimson Goddess. Under the many mysterious arrangements of the Human Emperor, She fell into a deep slumber.

As time passed, the human race naturally became stronger.

It was very difficult for stupid people to understand the various reasons. In their eyes, the world was too simple. They even had some laughable doubts. For example, if the human race was so strong, why didn’t they subdue the Holy Wave previously?

Only those who had grasped a lot of core information or were smart and observant could see the key.

“So, what will Fenghai County rely on?”

King Tian Lan’s expression was calm. From the start to the end, he didn’t lift his head. He only swept his divine sense across the sky and saw nothing.

However, just as he was about to sense deeper, a cold snort squeezed into his divine sense in an extremely abrupt manner, echoing through the world and transforming into heavenly lightning in King Tian Lan’s mind.

It rumbled and exploded.

The expression of King Tian Lan froze and he abruptly lifted his head. The moment he looked at the sky, the sky above the great world that enveloped the county capital emitted the sound of the cracking. A huge crack actually appeared in the sky.

This crack clearly wasn’t formed naturally. Its edges were straight, as though it had been cut by a sharp blade. Its length also reached tens of thousands of feet.

Looking up from the ground, this crack was extremely conspicuous in the sky. There was also an earth-shattering sword qi whistling over from the inside, and the sword momentum covered the surroundings.

In an instant, the clouds and fog collapsed, the ground rumbled, and everything trembled. The hearts of all living beings churned.

Everything in the world seemed to have disappeared. The world turned dim and distorted endlessly. In this blurry state, only this sword qi that fell from the crack in the sky became the sole entity.

Like a heavenly sword, it directly landed on King Tian Lan’s great world above the capital.

The moment they came into contact, King Tian Lan’s great world trembled like never before, emitting a deafening sound. It was as though millions of lightning bolts had exploded at the same time.

Its world barrier instantly collapsed, transforming into countless fragments that landed on the mountains and rivers of the great world like meteors.

The world trembled, but the sword qi didn’t stop at all. It broke through the barrier and directly landed in King Tian Lan’s great world, cutting through the sky of the great world and leaving a sword mark that spread through the entire world.

The world rumbled and caved in toward the location of the sword mark. All the mountain ranges inside collapsed and all the rivers evaporated. All living beings wailed as blood filled the world.

However, the momentum of the sword qi was still terrifying. Wherever the sword mark was, the ground would continue to shatter and spread rapidly into the depths. Finally… the entire great world was directly cut into two by this sword strike.

The world was destroyed!

From afar, the great world that had split into two separated from the sky above the county capital.

This scene was shocking.

The two halves of the great world were covered in blood and filled with all sorts of screams. Countless stones fell and dust spread.

After that, the great world that had been split into two became illusory and transparent, falling toward the ground.

The moment they landed on the ground, they shattered into pieces. As the ground trembled, King Tian Lan’s great world turned into countless pieces that fused into the land of Fenghai County.

It wasn’t a corporeal existence, so it was the same when it collapsed.

All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, it happened instantly. As the great world collapsed, the shock brought about by this scene stunned everyone in Fenghai County.

The army under King Tian Lan was also stunned.

Everyone in the army instinctively trembled. Looking at the scene that was like the apocalypse, their minds went blank.

This scene was too terrifying and sudden, so no one was mentally prepared.

In reality, even if they were mentally prepared, when they personally saw a Soul Accumulation large world destroyed by a single slash, they would still find it difficult to accept it.

Compared to the others, King Tian Lan’s shock was even more intense. His heart was in turmoil at this moment. An unprecedented crisis caused him to suddenly stand up from the black dragon and take a step forward.

With this step, the black dragon under his feet let out a wail, as though it couldn’t withstand the pressure from King Tian Lan at this moment. Its body fell to the ground.

The moment the black dragon landed on the ground, the body of King Tian Lan in the air rapidly expanded. From the size of an ordinary person at the start, he grew to 1000 feet, 10,000 feet, and 100,000 feet, until he became a giant that seemed to touch the sky.

The capital city of Fenghai County was like a play ball in front of him. As for the huge King Tian Lan, his mind didn’t calm because of the increase in his body. Instead, his expression became increasingly solemn as he stared fixedly at the crack in the sky and let out a deep shout.

“Which fellow Daoist wants to start a war with our human race?!”

As he spoke, King Tian Lan raised his right hand and grabbed at the crack in the sky.

Endless pressure erupted from his body. The sun, moon, and stars flickered in the surroundings as countless rules and laws were revealed on his body.

At this moment, it was as though he was the heavens and the Dao.

The only response he got was a cold snort.

“Didn’t you want to see me?”

As the voice rang out, the second sword slash landed!

The dazzling light of this sword formed a sea of light that enveloped King Tian Lan. Faced with all of this, King Tian Lan’s heart trembled. He gathered the nomological laws in his raised palm and went all out.

However, this sea of light ignored everything and passed through King Tian Lan’s palm, merging into his body.

At the next instant, King Tian Lan’s body trembled and his eyes revealed horror and disbelief.

“Second stage…”

Before he could finish speaking, a sword grew out of his mouth and penetrated his body. After that, sharp swords penetrated his arms and hands from many places.

After that, it was his legs, his body, his neck, his head…

Countless swords penetrated many parts of his body one after another. His huge body collapsed.

In the end, his huge body split into countless pieces and fell from the sky.

This scene was the same as his great world. He was torn into pieces and couldn’t withstand the might of a single slash.

His body was destroyed.

The world rumbled and all living beings were shocked.

As the countless pieces of flesh and blood landed, King Tian Lan’s divine soul flew out. His divine soul was different from his soul and looked no different from his physical body. However, upon closer inspection, one could still see that it was formed by laws and rules.

After it appeared, horror appeared in King Tian Lan’s eyes. He had never seen such a sharp sword or such a frightening second stage Soul Accumulation cultivator.

At this moment, he didn’t hesitate at all. His divine soul retreated with all its strength.

He wanted to leave this place. He could sense death coming. He didn’t want to die.

However, just as his soul retreated to 100,000 feet, in front of him, an air wall formed by sword qi suddenly rose from the ground and connected to the sky.

The expression of King Tian Lan changed and he instantly changed directions. However, very soon, the second wall of sword qi towered into the sky in front of him. This was followed by the third, fourth, and fifth sword qi.

In that instant, as King Tian Lan tried his best to change directions, he was sealed in the center by five sword qi walls that connected the world.

If one looked down from the peak of the sky, they would be able to see that these five sword qi walls were a pentagon. As for King Tian Lan in the center, his spirit was trembling at this moment and his eyes revealed despair and disbelief.

He couldn’t believe that as a Soul Accumulation and a Heavenly King, he was actually… about to die just like that.

“Who are you!!”

King Tian Lan faced the sky and let out a heart-rending roar.

The only response he got was a single word.

“Slash!”

As the sound rang out, the five sword qi walls instantly contracted and headed straight for King Tian Lan’s soul. In the blink of an eye, they gathered together and the sword light drowned him.

His divine spirit was destroyed!

The color of the world changed and a rumbling sound echoed like the mournful roar of the Heavenly Dao. There were clearly no clouds but a rain of blood appeared out of thin air and scattered on the ground.

Its coverage reached half of the province.

About half of the province was enveloped in the blood rain, as though the sky was crying.

This gore rain would nourish this land, causing this place to be different from other places from now on.

This was because this was the place where a Soul Accumulation had fallen. The world fragments of the Soul Accumulation would transform into spiritual energy, causing the spiritual energy in this half of the province to skyrocket.

There were also mountain peaks that rose from the ground in this part. Those were all formed from the flesh and gore of King Tian Lan. These hills would become spiritual mountains!

As for King Tian Lan’s ruined divine soul, it would transform into an invisible spirit root. The spirit root of the children born here in the next hundred years would be different from others.

They would be more suitable for King Tian Lan’s Dao.

This was the scene of the Soul Accumulation’s death, just like how the Ghost Emperor had died in Fenghai County.

However, the degree wasn’t as great as the Ghost Emperor’s.

However, it also nourished all living beings.
