Outside Of Time Chapter 1633: Unsolvable!

Chapter 1633: Unsolvable!

Editor: Atlas Studios

The Fourth True Monarch cultivated the Ordinance of Order, and over the years, he followed the resonance of similar Dao and eliminated all those who walked the same path.

Thereby, refining his own Ordinance, and ensuring its uniqueness.

Unless he were to die, no one in the world could seize the Ordinance of Order.

At this moment, as the thirteen laws manifested, only three distinct melodies resonated from within the coffins, echoing through the heavens and the earth.

“This place shall have no wind!”

As this sound echoed, all the wind in the heavens and earth vanished in an instant!

Countless grains of sand fell from the sky.

“This place shall have no sand!”

The words reverberated, and in the blink of an eye, the sand and soil dissolved into nothingness, ceasing to exist.

Only the figure in black remained, standing in midair, his pupils contracting.

“No one from outside this s.p.a.ce-time shall exist here, except for me!”

This was the third and final sentence.

The instant it spread out, a terrifying force descended from the sky, as though it wanted to purify and expel everything.

When it landed on the black-clothed man’s body, his entire body trembled. As his body trembled, he felt his consciousness being stripped away.

This feeling caused his eyes to turn red and he laughed.

His laughter was sinister and filled with disdain.

“You are neither the true Fourth True Monarch nor the master of this Immortal Palace. Your decrees can’t take effect.”

As the black-clothed figure spoke, his body exploded with a thunderous sound, shattering into pieces and transforming into forbidden sand that shouldn’t exist. As the sand forced its way into existence, the surrounding world seemed to twist and s.h.i.+ft in response.

At the same time, within the Junior Aurora Hall, Xu Qing overturned the chessboard, causing countless pieces to scatter across the floor.

The crisp sound of the chess pieces. .h.i.tting the ground echoed throughout the hall.

It was as if the world had turned upside down.

The independent realm of the teleportation array had transformed into a desert!

Yellow sands surged, stretching endlessly in every direction.

In the distance, it seemed as though an invisible hand was sketching upon the desert.

In an instant, a majestic eagle soared into the air, spreading its wings and letting out a piercing cry as it swooped towards the Fourth True Monarch.

In another moment, a mighty rhinoceros emerged, throwing its head back in a thunderous roar as it charged forward.

Then, countless silhouettes appeared, like heavenly soldiers summoned from the heavens, emerging one after another, ready for battle, their presence exuding overwhelming violence.

This scene unfolded like a sand painting, cascading forth relentlessly!

In the next moment, a blazing sun appeared, painting the desert as its canvas, revealing a divine figure within—it was the Sun G.o.d.

Following this, a bright moon ascended, with the Moon G.o.ddess gazing down upon the world.

Words then emerged on the sands, telling a story that, like a thread, outlined a figure.

Not only that, but the sand painting transformed again.

A figure wielding a sword materialized within, emanating overwhelming sword intent that shook the very corners of the world.

Eventually, another person emerged.

This individual wore an imperial robe and a crown, representing the primordial source of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

The emperor of the human race from a world beyond w.a.n.ggu!

All shone brilliantly, all exuded oppressive power.

As a result, the desert roared, the Fourth True Monarch staggered backward, and the entire desert realm collapsed and dissipated.

It returned to the original scene of the teleportation array!

However, at this moment, Star Ring’s expression darkened, for alongside the dissipating visions, the aura of Xie Lingzi’s broken sword had vanished as well!

Time had pa.s.sed.

In the air, the black-clothed man’s aura was weak. He retreated and was about to step into the void and leave.

“Since you’re here and insist on messing with my order, then…”

The coldness in Star Ring’s eyes intensified. He lifted his right hand and grabbed at the black-clothed man.

Instantly, his voice transformed into the sound of order, becoming a vast array formation. Iron chains surged forth, forming an even more imposing array of order, each s.h.i.+ning with silver light, as the two arrays intertwined.

As they spun together, a tremendous power of order erupted, manifesting as a force of stripping and purification that enveloped the black-clothed figure.

In an instant, the iron chains shot out from the array, wrapping around the black-clothed figure. Accompanied by the runes formed from the sound of order, they flowed across his entire body.

The intent to peel away surged forth in full force.

However, the black-clothed figure was not to be underestimated. Even in his weakened state, he possessed a trump card.

In the next moment, a flash of golden light suddenly radiated from the black-clothed figure.

Then, the world s.h.i.+fted again, transforming into a realm of sky and sea.

However, the sky was below, the sea was above, with fish swimming in between.

It was inverted.

A colossal clay statue, seated in the sea, reflected in the sky, suddenly opened its eyes simultaneously.

One genuine, one false.

This represented truth and falsehood.

This was the divine authority of the clay fox, inverting truth and false!

In the next instant, everything vanished, including the figure of the black-clothed man.

Only the iron chains remained, spinning aimlessly in mid-air, producing a ringing sound as they clashed together.

The stripping had succeeded yet failed.

Success was that the stripping method had shown its effect.

The failure stemmed from the fact that what had been stripped away was false, an illusion.

However, against Star Ring, it was impossible for the black-clothed man not to expose his ident.i.ty.

“Fox Beauty!”

Star Ring turned his gaze toward the direction of the Junior Aurora Hall, his expression dark as a storm cloud. However, he quickly returned his focus because a more troublesome matter, delayed by the fox beauty’s earlier actions, was inevitably about to unfold.

And it was unsolvable.

For in the sky above, there was a figure filled with boundless fury, rus.h.i.+ng toward this location, accompanied by an overwhelming lightning storm.

The figure in the lightning was none other than the master of the dead middle-aged punishment enforcer!

That old deacon from the Thunder Punishment Palace!

His expression was extremely ugly and his anger was intense. However, he was sneering inwardly.

He was the real Xie Lingzi!

After coming to the fourth realm, because he arrived late, he focused more on concealment.

Hence, he used a secret art to gradually alter his disciple’s perception, transforming the other into himself.

He also quietly fused the Ordinance iron sword into the disciple’s body. This way, he made a nearly flawless subst.i.tute and bait.

After that, he hid in the dark and didn’t create any additional karma with his disciples.

His disciple, believing himself to be Xie Lingzi, instinctively did some things that Xie Lingzi should do.

For example, betraying the palace.

He had initially planned to use his disciple as a decoy in a light-and-dark strategy tonight to distract the Fourth True Monarch, while he himself would take the opportunity to betray the palace.

He had made ample preparations for this.

However, the subsequent developments caused him to change his mind.

He conceived of an even more brilliant plan!

Thus, amidst the thunderclaps, he moved with incredible speed, not hiding his presence at all. Instead, he intentionally created a spectacle that drew the attention of countless individuals, and directly appeared at the location of the teleportation array, cras.h.i.+ng into it.

At this moment, his voice spread through the entire Immortal Palace like a loud bell chime.

“Lord True Monarch, why did you kill my disciple!”

As soon as he spoke, the Immortal Palace was in an uproar.

Countless divine senses instantly surged over.

The array formation here instantly shattered, revealing the Fourth True Monarch and the furious deacon of the Thunder Punishment Palace in the air.

Also, on the ground… was the corpse of the middle-aged punishment enforcer.

“My disciple only went to get the thunder light but he was killed here. The marks of order on his body are clearly your doing, True Monarch!”

“True Monarch, please tell me what mistake my disciple made and why he was killed. Did he do something to harm our Immortal Palace?!”

“If he really did something that goes against the interests of the Immortal Palace, this old man will have no objections!”

“However, if True Monarch can’t say it, then even if you’re a True Monarch, you have to give an explanation for killing for no reason. The lightest punishment is imprisonment, and the heaviest punishment is detention or even a life-and-death punishment.”

In the sky, Xie Lingzi’s voice contained endless anger as he spoke word by word.

Star Ring fell silent.

He understood that this was a highly calculated move.

Even if the body had already been disposed of, it was of no use. A simple rewind of time would reveal everything.

The person had indeed been killed by him, and once time was reversed, the events leading to this moment would also be exposed—something he couldn’t allow anyone to witness.

Now, the core of the issue before him was this: Was the dead disciple at fault or not?

If the disciple was in the wrong, he could justify the killing.

But any fault could easily be interpreted as treason against the palace. And if that charge of treason came from his own mouth, then the disciple’s rebellion would be deemed successful, causing significant s.p.a.ce-time upheaval.

Order would have already failed if that happened.

But if the disciple had committed no wrong, he would be unable to explain why he had killed him.

Whether it was personal revenge or some other grievance, the fact that the so-called Xie Lingzi had exposed himself and came forward showed his determination. If Star Ring admitted to negligence or past enmity, then, under the scrutiny of the public, he would inevitably face punishment—likely confinement.

If that happened, for the next half-month, he would lose his freedom and be unable to stop other outside forces from disturbing s.p.a.ce-time.

It was equivalent to losing the entire game.

Therefore, he could only choose the lesser of the two evils.

That was to say that this person had done something to harm the Immortal Palace’s interests.

Too ruthless.

Star Ring sighed inwardly.

Everything was because of the fox beauty’s obstruction. Otherwise, he would have had enough time to deal with Xie Lingzi, and wouldn’t be in his current predicament.

In addition, he could actually say that this person had been possessed. However, Xie Lingzi had already put on a show. If he wasn’t satisfied, he would definitely blow things up and make him take out evidence.

And even if possession was a valid claim, it would be difficult to explain why he had resorted to killing.

Such an action had the appearance of silencing a witness.

Interrogation would have been the more logical choice.

If there hadn’t been rumors recently, he might have had more room to maneuver. But with the ripples of rumors still spreading, and himself caught in their midst, claiming possession would only worsen the situation. The fallout could be enormous, forcing him to enter a spiral of proving his innocence.

In the end, Star Ring lifted his head. His gaze first locked onto Xie Lingzi in mid-air, then slowly s.h.i.+fted toward the direction of the Junior Aurora Hall.

After a long time, he expressionlessly took a step forward and stepped into the void. The moment he left, his cold voice echoed.

“This person betrayed the palace and had a confidential jade token on him, which is why I executed him!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Lingzi’s entire body trembled and his breathing clearly became hurried. He could feel his broken sword fiercely rejoicing, and in that moment, his connection with the sword became tighter than ever before.

Simultaneously, a s.p.a.ce-time storm surged, forming a vortex of time and s.p.a.ce. This vortex, invisible and imperceptible to others, began to rotate with a thunderous roar.

It resulted in unprecedented waves!

At the same time, in the Junior Aurora Hall, Xu Qing, who had been quietly picking up the scattered chess pieces from the ground, lifted his head.

He smiled slightly.

In his right hand, a handful of sand appeared out of thin air.

They were s.p.a.ce-time sand. Each grain contained the profound laws of s.p.a.ce-time.

If Xu Qing were to merge it into his body, his mastery over the s.p.a.ce-Time Ordinance would increase significantly.

This was the reward Xu Qing had gained, a result of the s.p.a.ce-time ripples successfully stirred by Xie Lingzi.
