Outside Of Time

Chapter 959 Hunger From the Red Moon’s Authority (2)

Xu Qing licked his lips and hid in the wind, preparing to hunt.

Dozens of kilometers away, at the edge of the green sand desert, a flesh monster was speeding.

Its body was as large as 50 feet tall, like a mountain of flesh. It had more than ten arms and seven to eight sarcomas that looked like heads.

On one of the sarcomas hanging on its chest, there was an unrecognizable face.

From the details, it could be seen that it was Li Youfei.

However, at that moment, his face was pale and his aura was weak. His body had undergone serious mutations and his injuries were equally adverse. It was as though every breath of circulation of his cultivation base would cause intense pain in his internal organs and he would occasionally spurt out blood uncontrollably.

This was especially so for the wound on his chest. There was a puncture wound there and many of his bones had shattered.

What was even more astonishing was that there were still a large number of dandelions on his body, and they were crazily absorbing his life. At the same time, countless strips of flesh grew out of his body and dragged all over the ground. Moreover, they were still spreading and growing.

All of this made him look extremely bizarre.

This was the result of being in the white sandstorm.

Behind him, two red figures were chasing after him unhurriedly.

The fluctuations of Nascent Soul energy spread out and red fog surrounded them. With the enhancement from the power of the Red Moon, the two divine slaves were unfazed by the white sandstorm.

They could have easily caught up, but now they were strolling leisurely, as if they were walking their dogs.

“Li Youfei, run faster. The border of the desert is just ahead.”

“After you step out of the boundary, you won’t have to be tortured by this white goddess wind. There are still tens of kilometers left, you will reach there soon.”

“Even if you manage to escape from here, the curse of my master on you is on the brink of eruption. Remind me later whether it’s the pain of my master’s curse or the fury of this white goddess wind that afflicts you more.”

“Or perhaps you could beg us, and we might just have a moment of compassion, and put an end to you right away.”

The two divine slaves had a cruel look in their eyes. They had accidentally encountered Li Youfei in the white wind, and he had some reputation in their temple.

After all, over the years, this person had been killing rogue cultivators who tried to side with the shrine. While he hadn’t caused any major trouble, he had been a nuisance.

However, such minor players were suitable for baiting, so the big shots didn’t bother to act until the fish took the bait. And this person was skilled at hiding, which is why he had managed to stay alive until now.

However, to the two of them, Li Youfei still had some value.

If they could torment him to death, forcing the curse to erupt, then the transformed remains could fetch them some rewards from the temple.

That was why they were moving leisurely.

At that moment, Li Youfei’s heart was filled with despair.

He knew he was in a hopeless situation. While the white sandstorm had helped him evade those he had offended in the Bitter Life Mountain Range and deterred them from pursuing him, it had also inflicted severe harm upon him.

His already injured body became weaker and weaker. The appearance of the divine slaves from the Red Moon Shrine also caused the last trace of hope in his heart to dim.

“I can’t escape…”

Li Youfei smiled bitterly. He had experienced twists and turns in the Bitter Life Mountain Range all these years because he wanted to join the Moon Rebel Hall. However, it wasn’t easy to kill divine slaves, and finding them alone was even rarer.

So, he had always been one short, until recently when he discovered that the top cultivator among the rogue cultivators in the Bitter Life Mountain Range had a disciple who had secretly become a divine slave. He took the risk to ambush him.

However, before he could take the corpse away after killing him, the other party’s master’s divine consciousness descended and caused his body to collapse.

The latter then started chasing his main body.

If not for the arrival of the white wind, obscuring his traces, he would undoubtedly have met his end.

In the end, he had no choice but to flee into the wind, all the way up to this point. After experiencing profound despair, his eyes now revealed determination and ruthlessness.

“Even if I die, I’ll drag one of them down with me!”

Li Youfei’s killing intent was intense. Just as he intended to bait the two Red Moon divine slaves behind him, a miserable scream suddenly rang out from behind him.

This scream was filled with horror. Even the howling wind couldn’t suppress it as it echoed in all directions.

Li Youfei was stunned. He instinctively turned his head and saw a scene that caused his pupils to narrow!

In the white wind behind him, a huge palm suddenly appeared. This palm was completely purple and was the size of a person. It actually grabbed a divine slave and dragged him into the wind.

The entire process was extremely fast. The divine slave actually couldn’t struggle at all. Only a miserable scream rang out. Moreover, when it was pulled into the wind, the divine slave’s body rapidly withered as though its vitality had been devoured.

As for the other divine slave, his expression changed drastically as though he had sensed something unbelievable. His body trembled intensely and horror appeared in his eyes.

Li Youfei’s breathing was hurried. He didn’t know the exact reason for this scene but he understood that this was a chance to survive. Hence, he didn’t hesitate and ignored the seriousness of his injuries. All his cultivation base instantly erupted as he rushed forward.

In an instant, he distanced himself and fled crazily, leaving this place.

However, within this storm, the other divine slave had no intention of paying any heed to the fleeing Li Youfei. In this moment, a monumental storm surged within him. Just a moment ago, he had felt the presence and fluctuations of the Crimson Goddess, the intensity of which surpassed everything he had ever encountered in his life, even surpassing all the divine servants he had seen and even the divine envoys themselves.

“God!”

The divine slave’s heart shook to the extreme. The qi, blood, and cultivation base in his body were shaking. As someone who had been blessed, he knew very well that his perception couldn’t be wrong.

The hand that killed his companion emitted the aura of his god.

When his body was trembling from the aura, an ethereal voice slowly rang out from the wind.

“My servant, come to me… Come…”

Li Youfei couldn’t hear the sounds in the sandstorm. At that moment, he was already far away from this place and was moving closer and closer to the boundary.

However, that divine slave heard it clearly. The voice contained the aura of the Crimson Goddess, causing his body to lose all resistance at this instant.

As he shivered, he instinctively walked in that direction. Step by step, he walked into the wind and was drowned by the whiteness.

After a long time, a person walked out of the sandstorm.

Purple light flickered in his eyes. Wherever he passed, the energy of the Purple Moon would spread out. In the white wind, this purple scene was like the descent of a god.

It was only after he walked over 100 feet away that the purple light in Xu Qing’s eyes slowly dissipated. He then burped.

“It’s indeed as I judged. The curse in these temple cultivators’ bodies has been transformed into a blessing and has become the source of their faith. The more they believe in the Red Moon and Crimson Goddess, the denser the power of the blessing. It can allow them to draw the corresponding power of the Red Moon.”

“In that case, to me… devouring their power of faith can strengthen my Purple Moon’s divine authority.”

“Although the amount isn’t much, it… is quite delicious.”

Xu Qing licked his lips. To him, devouring a divine slave at the Nascent Soul realm wasn’t that complicated. Due to the existence of faith, he only needed to spread out his Purple Moon divine authority. The other party was like walking food that walked over on its own.

“However, if it was a divine servant with a Spirit Repository cultivation base, it wouldn’t be so easy.” Xu Qing recalled the red-robed woman he had encountered under the sea of fire back then and sighed with emotion.

“Also, I can’t do this for all the living beings in the Moon Worship Region because the curse in their bodies hasn’t been converted into the faith of the Red Moon and Crimson Goddess.”

Xu Qing pondered as he walked forward. Gradually, a shriveled sound rang out from his body and he felt a sense of hunger. It was as though the bit of Red Moon Faith he had eaten had evoked his instincts, causing him to have the urge to continue devouring.

Xu Qing stopped in his tracks. After sensing it, he frowned.

“After eating their faith, why would there be such hunger…”

Xu Qing pondered. However, the feeling of hunger wasn’t very intense. He quickly suppressed it and quickened his pace until he disappeared into the sandstorm.

Half a day later, at the edge of the green sand desert, Xu Qing followed the tracks of the shadow eye and saw a rotting mountain of flesh.

It was none other than Li Youfei.
