Beyond the Timescape

Chapter 569: Imperial Sovereign’s God-Weapon Suppresses the Northern Plains (part 2)

Not too far away, the very Xu Qing the Captain was so worried about was seated cross-legged atop the glacier, looking down into the ice. He had been waiting for quite a while now. Already, about half of the day he’d set as the deadline had passed. As of yet, there was no change to the figure in the glacier below.

Xu Qing’s facial expression was the same as ever as he retracted his vision and continued to wait. He would do his absolute best to wait for the entire day.

Thus, time passed. Soon, as the twenty-fourth hour neared completion, Xu Qing opened his eyes. Standing, he clasped hands in the direction of the ice.

“Time’s up, Senior.”

“Back up by about 3,000 meters,” came the faint voice of the Heir Apparent from beneath the ice.

Hearing that, Xu Qing sped away. When he was about 2,400 meters away, a thunderous boom erupted from the glacier behind him. The icy ground quaked, and blue light shot up from the ice below, making everything increasingly bright. Eventually, it became so bright that the area beneath the glacier almost seemed lit by a blue sun. The source of that blue light was the nail in the huge figure’s forehead.

Quivering, the nail slowly rose, as if there was a massive power inside of it trying to pull it out of the body’s forehead. As every successive inch came out into the open, it shone with more scintillating blue light. Gradually, terrifying fluctuations spread out from the glacier. The mere sensation of the fluctuations caused Xu Qing’s heart to thump with fear. The sensation he was getting surpassed the taboo treasure of Sea-Sealing County. In fact, the difference between the two was like that between a firefly and the sun.

There was also something profoundly ancient spreading out. As a result, Xu Qing had no other choice than to back up. After he’d gone another 300 meters, the feeling of fear remained, but wasn’t as intense. Meanwhile, the fluctuations had provoked a reaction from the red moon warding spells.

From a distance, it looked like the red light of the warding spells was being suppressed by the blue light. As a result, the glacier vibrated, and cracks started spreading out over its surface.

All of a sudden, a howling voice echoed in Xu Qing’s mind.

“Help me suppress them!”

Xu Qing gritted his teeth. It was obvious that if he stuck around, he would be asked to provide help. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out with his right hand and pushed it down onto the glacier.

Violet moon godly authority erupted out to interfere with the warding spells.

He didn’t need to take control of the warding spells to open a passage. He just needed to interfere with the warding spells. As for whether the Heir Apparent would ultimately make it out, there was no way for Xu Qing to assess.

That said, to the Heir Apparent, Xu Qing’s actions were crucial. His interference and influence could very well make the difference between success and failure. Before, all probabilities pointed to failure. But now, things were different.

Next, an even more deafening sound erupted from the glacier. Blue light shone brilliantly as the nail continued to rise. Ultimately, it completely emerged from the corpse.

When that happened, the northern ice plains turned blue.

Various species and sects that called the northern ice plains their home took notice, and many were curious about why things had suddenly turned blue. Though they had no idea what was happening, they all felt fear and pressure as the blue light spread everywhere.

Cracking sounds erupted that surpassed the volume of heavenly thunder. In the depths of the glacier, the nail, which was emanating that boundless blue light, pulsed with terrifying energy as it slowly rotated around to point at the red moon warding spells. Light flared as the blue nail then shot upward.

It accelerated with boundless courage and unstoppable force as it slammed into the warding spells. Blue and red light flickered together, creating a violet glow. It was a deadlock.

“God Weapon Qi Nuo, you were born in the darkheaven and tempered in an earthworld; are you really willing to be trapped here? I can help you! Now is the time to unleash your power!”

The blue nail vibrated, until eventually, the defiant fluctuations of a spirit automaton rolled out of it. They were imbued with a spirit that could conquer mountains and rivers, and as they gathered at the tip of the nail, it pulsed with the power to crush everything in its path! Wild colors flashed in heaven and earth as the nail shot high into the sky! The dome of heaven was now lit by blue light, so that it was no longer dusky. From a distance, the northern ice fields seemed to have been turned into a world of blue. Cracks spread out on the ground, and many places caved in. Glaciers shattered. The entire northern region was starting to sink down.

Nothing like this had ever happened before. Whether it was to the living beings of the north, or to the Moonrite Region in general, it was completely unprecedented! There was no way the Red Moon Cathedral wouldn’t investigate something like that, and thus, it was only possible to imagine what explosive developments were just around the corner.

All living beings were shocked. Cries of astonishment rang out everywhere. However, the blue nail in the sky didn’t leave. It slowly turned until its tip was pointed at the ice below. Light flickered dazzlingly, making it look like the nail was building up power.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing appeared on a distant shattered glacier, looking around at everything. He had prepared himself mentally, but even still, was nearly bowled over with shock.

The Heir Apparent said that he had a younger brother who died here, and a big sister who was sealed here.... Does that mean he’s about to....

Pupils constricting, Xu Qing turned to run. He could tell that things were going to get very dangerous and destructive soon. However, even as he turned, a majestic stream of divine will slammed into his mind like ten thousand sledgehammers.

“It will be really unlucky for me if you leave now, young friend. Don’t you remember how I promised to give you a very mysterious gift? As the Heir Apparent, my word is my bond. And I promised you something!”

Xu Qing stopped moving. Gritting his teeth, he turned to look at the blue nail, which seemed very close to the point of being fully powered up.

“What gift?” Xu Qing asked.

“How about the fragment of a Smoldering God’s major world? There are three items sealing my third older sister, and that’s one of them.”

Xu Qing’s eyes went wide, and his heart raced. How could he ever have guessed that the mysterious gift which had been offered to him was the fragment of a major world?

The identifying mark of a Smoldering God was the ability to bring forth a major world. A major world like that would have boundless mysterious abilities. And even a broken fragment of one would still be considered a precious treasure. It was something that would be valuable even to a god. The red moon hadn’t taken it away, but rather, used it as part of a sealing cage. To ordinary cultivators, something like that would be even more incredibly precious.

Once again, divine will echoed into his mind. “Do you dare come with me to get it?”

“Yes!” Xu Qing said, his eyes already bloodshot.

A prize like that was enough to cause craziness to bubble up from deep within him. It was like the time he got his first life lamp, his first imperial-class ability, or that experience with the seazombie divine likenesses. During those escapades, the craziness in his heart rivaled the Captain.

In response to his words, laughter swept out from the nail.

“Come here!”

Blue light shone down, surrounding Xu Qing like a cage, then taking him up into the sky. Eventually, he approached the nail and stood atop it.

The blue light connected with the nail. Because the light was from the nail, Xu Qing didn’t suffer any of the pressure of being so close to a precious treasure. As he stood there, the Heir Apparent spoke to him again with divine will.

“Okay, young friend. Now I’m going to show you exactly how mighty this precious treasure of my father’s was!”

Rumbling sounds erupted from the blue nail as it turned into a streak that shot down toward the ice! Its shocking speed and might caused ripples to spread through the canopy of heaven, and resulted in the ground caving in.

There wasn’t anything that could stand up to it!

***

Meanwhile, inside the major world fragment, atop the highest of the black glaciers, the Captain stood, looking around. Of course, he had no idea what was going on outside.

“This is the place! Little Ningning, Big Jianjian, you two better behave well! In a moment, you both need to unleash your treasures. We need to do the sealing as quickly as possible. Once the sealing is over, we’ll get out of here. If we go too slowly, though... well, then I wish all of you good luck. After all, every place that I’ve raided up to this point ends up becoming a barren wasteland.”

Wu Jianwu nodded vigorously, though inside, he felt very nervous. Ning Yan was also getting anxious.

Seeing their facial expressions, the Captain inwardly shook his head.

Just not on the same level as little Ah Qing. They clearly lack courage. If little Ah Qing were here, he would just be looking at me calmly.

Sighing inwardly, the Captain waved his hand, causing a ball of light to shoot up into the dome of heaven.

“Show yourself, my Little Roundy!”

The ball of light suddenly erupted with blinding beams of light that contained seemingly infinite heat. As the light rose high into the canopy of heaven, it turned into a sun! Boundless light and heat spread out, covering all of the black glaciers!
