Outside Of Time

864 The Bronze Coffin Under the Sea of Fire! (3)

However, compared to Xu Qing, the woman was much faster. Hence, she entered the designated area earlier.

The divine consciousness was blocked under the magma, so the two of them didn’t sense each other’s existence. Moreover, due to the different environments they grew in, this divine servant’s vigilance was inferior to Xu Qing’s.

Hence, as Xu Qing moved cautiously, the instant he saw the location where the Purple Moon’s power sensed, he also saw the figure of the red-clothed woman heading there.

Xu Qing immediately paused. He squatted down and tried his best to make his figure smaller. A dark glint appeared in his eyes as he silently observed.

In the distance, there was a massive flat-topped mountain.

To be precise, this might not be a mountain, but rather a colossal coffin standing upright there.

The part that was revealed in Xu Qing’s eyes was the size of a city, indicating the immense scale of this giant coffin.

It was made entirely of bronze, covered in rust that merged with black, green, and blue, intertwining together, giving the coffin a sense of ancientness.

It was as though it had been here for countless years.

As for its length, it was unknown. Xu Qing swept his gaze over but he could only see four thick chains at the four corners of the coffin that were connected to the depths of the magma.

Other than that, the lid of the coffin wasn’t tightly closed but had a gap.

However, because this coffin was too huge, this gap looked like a deep abyss.

At that moment, the red-clothed woman descended outside the crack and floated a thousand feet away from it. She performed a series of hand seals with both hands and fluctuations that emitted the divine power of the Red Moon spread in all directions.

It fused into the invisible restrictions that already existed here, causing this place to flicker with red light. A large net gradually manifested.

This net was formed by the restrictions here.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the large net that appeared was filled with runes that emitted divine might.

Xu Qing concealed himself and observed carefully. He could tell that the other party seemed to be reinforcing the restrictions. However, this bit of divine power was a drop in the bucket.

However, very soon, Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. He saw that after the woman in red performed a series of hand seals, she took out a red crystal the size of a human skull.

As soon as this crystal appeared, the magma in the surroundings churned and a terrifying aura emitted from it. Even Xu Qing’s heart shook.

Outsiders might not be able to recognize it, but through his Purple Moon’s senses, he immediately recognized that this crystal was formed from a drop of blood that had been diluted countless times.

“Blood of the Crimson Goddess?”

Xu Qing’s heart raced. Although this was a drop of diluted blood, the aura of the Red Moon contained in it was still incomparably dense. To Xu Qing, it was akin to a huge nourishment.

While Xu Qing was paying attention, the woman in red looked at the crystal with desire in her eyes. However, she forcefully restrained herself. She knew that this wasn’t something she could enjoy.

“When the high god arrives and harvests this region, my family will also be able to obtain a drop of such divine blood. At that time, I might have a chance to absorb a trace of it.”

The woman muttered inwardly before throwing the crystal down.

The crystal didn’t fall into the crack. Instead, it floated outside the abyss and shattered on its own, emitting a terrifying fluctuation that fused into the surrounding restrictions, causing the red net that appeared to become even more dazzling.

This was the real reinforcement.

As the blood-colored net shone with a piercing light and the divine might intensified, the huge coffin was also stimulated by this aura and suddenly shook. There was also a furious roar that contained pain that echoed from the coffin.

“Crimson Goddess!!”

As soon as this voice rang out, the coffin shook even more intensely. Xu Qing’s heart also stirred. As he became increasingly cautious, the red-clothed woman lowered her head and looked at the abyss from afar, transmitting her divine sense.

“Shut up!”

The sound of hurried breathing echoed from the coffin. Clearly, being humiliated by such a low-level cultivator was an extremely great humiliation to the existence in the coffin.

However, it was helpless.

A hint of mockery appeared in the red-clothed woman’s eyes. To her, humiliating such an ancient and terrifying existence brought a strange stimulation. Hence, she lifted her hand and waved it, taking out lumps of bloody flesh from her storage bag.

There were a total of a hundred lumps of flesh, each of them 100 feet in size. After they spread in the surroundings, the woman lifted her hand and pointed. Immediately, a lump of flesh fell into the abyss.

“Eat. This is the food the high god gave you. They are all citizens of the Moon Worship Region. Your brothers and sisters, just like you, love to eat it.”

“Also, in order to let you guys digest it better, we thoughtfully removed the bones.”

“Enjoy.”

As the flesh fell into the abyss, a roar filled with pain rang out. It was as though the existence in the coffin was trying its best to reject it but for some unknown reason, it had no choice but to swallow it.

Hence, the whimpers and chewing sounds that sounded like crying intertwined to form a heart-wrenching scene.

An extremely intense resentment spread out from the coffin. It was as though it had transformed into a mark that was imprinted on the woman in red, wanting to firmly remember her.

As for the woman who threw the food, she clearly enjoyed it very much. When she heard this voice, her mood seemed to turn better. She didn’t care about the marks on her body and with a wave of her hand, the lumps of flesh fell into the abyss.

Xu Qing remained silent. He had witnessed the woman’s cruelty and heard the excruciating agony coming from the coffin. He had some guesses about her identity.
