out of time

Chapter 1069: Graveyard in the Rain
In the unknown world of Emperor Mingyan’s memory fragments, there is a huge ravine on the dark plain.

Like an abyss.

Deep inside, an old man in a black robe was walking forward.

He no longer looked like Ming Yan, but had a weathered look on his face.

It was the black-robed man who had appeared in the Taoist temple of Emperor Mo Yu.

The chains on his body rattled as he moved forward, and felt an intense burning sensation, but these did not cause him to look painful. Instead, he was filled with excitement.

"It's almost here..."

The old man in black robe's breathing became rapid and he quickened his pace. His speed became faster and faster. Finally, after an incense stick of time had passed, his body paused.

In front of it is the end of the abyss.

There is actually a well here.

Standing beside the well, the old man looked down with excitement.

There is water in the well, and a blurry world is reflected on the surface of the water.

That world was dark and filled with death.

it is raining……

"right here!"

The old man took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination, and rushed straight into the well.

……

At the same time, in a world of memory fragments with birds singing and flowers blooming, this place seems like a fairyland, with white clouds and flying cranes.

Fairy mountains stand on the earth, and countless fairy palaces can be seen among the curling clouds and mist.

Outside the gate of the Seventeenth Immortal Palace, the young master of the Yun family stood there. After turning his head to look into the distance at the heaven and earth, he muttered in a hoarse voice.

"It is going to rain."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the fairy palace in front of him.

The moment the palace door opened, wind blew in the sky of this world.

There seems to be a dampness vaguely permeating the world.

Inside the open fairy palace, it was dark and it was raining.

The young master of the Yun family walked in with a respectful look, as if he was making a pilgrimage.

……

At the same time, in the place where Emperor Mingyan was in seclusion, those people from West Demon Feather and Lin Kun from East Demon Feather also used their own methods to leave the original memory fragments.

And explore in other memory fragment worlds in different ways.

During this exploration, the same weather changes occurred one after another in the different memory fragment worlds they were in.

The clouds rolled and the rain fell.

……

"It's raining?"

A drop of rain fell in front of Xu Qing and dripped onto the leaves of the Holy Heavenly Vine.

The cracks and gaps in the dark grey sky were slowly healing; only in other areas, clouds and mist were gathering and drops of rain were falling.

It poured on Xu Qing, on the ground, and on Erniu's hair as he spoke proudly.

"Big Brother, let's go."

Xu Qing spoke calmly that his next goal was to find the empress.

After all, in this strange place, after experiencing all these things, Xu Qing felt that it was safest to follow the empress.

But obviously Erniu doesn't think so.

In his heart, he was in an extremely miserable state on this planet.

Especially after being stimulated by Xu Qing's gorgeous appearance, Erniu's unyielding heart beat faster and stronger than ever before.

"If I can't take anything away from this damn place, then all my sufferings will be in vain."

He thought so in his mind, but on the surface he maintained a proud attitude and spoke calmly.

"Xiao Aqing, we don't have to leave in a hurry. This planet has been conquered by me, your senior brother. Now it will be time to pick the fruits of opportunity."

"You are lucky. You came at the right time. As the eldest senior brother, I will not bother with you. I will let you witness my rise with your own eyes!"

Erniu raised his chin, shook his shoulders, and threw his empty sleeves.

To act in an arrogant manner.

It was just his one leg and one hand, his messy hair and the wounds all over his body, which made Erniu look miserable no matter how you looked at him at this moment.

Xu Qing sighed in his heart, knowing that his eldest senior brother's desire to win had reappeared.

So he jumped down from the sacred vine, stood in front of Erniu and asked in cooperation.

"What chance?"

"Of course it was the greatest fortune that Emperor Mingyan obtained here!"

Erniu's eyes were bright, he licked his lips, and looked around. Looking at the barren starry sky filled with corpses and maggots, he spoke in a low voice.

"Xiao Aqing, you just got here, so you don't know my experience. I have already explored this place thoroughly and analyzed the cause and effect."

"Don't be fooled by the poor environment here. In fact, according to my judgment, the more unremarkable a place looks, the greater the opportunities it contains."

"After all, the memory fragments of Emperor Mingyan can form a world, which shows that he had a very deep impression of this place back then..."

"And I have also analyzed during this period that the Dark Flame Emperor that I transformed into was seriously injured and on the verge of death here. So how did he recover? How did he leave here?"

"Under normal circumstances, he would have died without a doubt, but he left."

"This is enough to show that this place contains a huge opportunity, and Emperor Mingyan has obtained this opportunity!"

"This opportunity, because I am here incarnated as Dark Flame, only I can get it!"

Erniu's words were true. After Xu Qing heard them, he understood the cause and effect, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

So he also looked around and thought in his heart.

Seeing that Xu Qing agreed with his judgment, Erniu felt more and more that his guess was correct, so he coughed.

"So my current miserable state and the fact that I was chased by those maggots before were actually intentional. I was trying to experience the despair that Emperor Mingyan felt back then."

Erniu went around in circles and finally came to this sentence.

I have to say that Erniu has a hard time, and his words seem to make some sense.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Erniu.

"Big Brother, have you found that opportunity?"

Erniu blinked.

"Not even close. After many attempts, there are only two options I didn't do."

"One is to eat the maggots here, and the other is to die once!"

"Originally, it was difficult for me to try the second option, because I analyzed that if Ming Yan gained the opportunity through death, then he must have some rare treasure that could allow him to be resurrected after death."

"But I don't have such a treasure..."

"But after you came, I thought there was a way that could have a similar effect..."

Erniu looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing met his gaze and understood instantly.

"Big Brother, are you talking about the thread of seven emotions and six desires that we all share?"

Erniu nodded.

"That's right, the Six Thieves' authority of the two of us is one, so the seven emotions and six desires can also be connected together. You can think of it as a rope."

"This rope, hanging my greed, can become the rope that pulls me out of death."

"That's it!"

When Erniu said this, there was madness in his eyes, and as the power of the six thieves shone, threads of the seven emotions and six desires emerged.

Seeing that the eldest brother was so decisive, Xu Qing thought about it, and also used the power of the Six Thieves to spread out his seven emotions and six desires and merge them with Erniu.

The moment these silk threads overlapped and connected, an extremely strong greed and madness surged along the Erniu silk threads.

Also coming along is the desire to win.

"Are you sure?" Xu Qing asked.

"Sure, don't worry. My will to survive may not be that strong, but my greed is strong enough. As long as the greed is there, nothing else will be a problem."

Erniu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and winked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing saw the determination of the senior brother, and at the same time felt that the thread of the seven emotions and six desires could indeed pull the other party's last trace of greed. The most important thing was that he noticed the look, so he sat down cross-legged without showing any abnormality.

Erniu also sat down quickly, raised one hand, and slapped his head hard.

With a loud bang, his forehead caved in and he fell to the ground.

But he didn't die.

As he was dying, Erniu spoke weakly.

"Xiao Aqing, help me, I can't kill myself..."

Xu Qing had a strange look on his face, so he raised his right hand and pointed a finger at Erniu's chest.

The next moment, Erniu's chest roared and his vitality rapidly faded away.

Xu Qing concentrated his mind and paid close attention to the thread of emotions connecting Erniu, ready to pull his life out of death at the critical moment.

Time passed little by little.

Erniu's body, which had turned into dark flame, had very little life left and disappeared completely in an instant.

Xu Qing's power suddenly flashed, and he pulled hard.

Suddenly Erniu's body shook, his greed burst out, his vitality was stimulated, and as he breathed, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing confusion. After recovering quickly, he was extremely excited.

"I feel the power of death... My previous analysis was correct. The opportunity here can only be sensed by death!"

"Xiao Aqing, come again, this time you save me a little later."

Erniu said this, looking at Xu Qing expectantly.

Xu Qing had no choice but to raise his hand and slap him down.

Erniu fell to the ground motionless.

This time, at the moment when its vitality was fading, Xu Qing restrained the instinct to pull it out, and instead focused on the threads of emotions, until even greed faded, Xu Qing knew that he could not wait any longer.

Then his power burst out, he pulled hard, and at the same time the knife of destiny flashed in his body.

With this pull, Erniu's greed was about to revive.

But at this moment, a breath of death emanated from the star and rushed directly along Erniu's body.

What is expressed in the thread of the seven emotions and six desires is the appearance of gray fog, which wants to drown everything of Erniu.

Xu Qing's eyes flashed, and he knew that what the senior brother was waiting for had appeared.

With his understanding of Erniu, he already knew the previous look clearly.

At this moment, without any hesitation, the knife of destiny flew out and slashed fiercely at the gray fog!
At the same time, Erniu's greed, which had just dimmed, seemed to have faded away and erupted violently at this moment. His greed was so overwhelming that he seemed to turn into a celestial dog, and he swallowed the gray fog fiercely while roaring silently.

The next moment, the sky and the earth changed color.

The sky roared and the earth trembled.

All the corpses on this desolate planet opened their eyes at the same time.

Countless maggots made shrill sounds, trembling and continuing to collapse.

As for Erniu, Xu Qing could see clearly that the gray mist in his body was rapidly returning to this planet, but a wisp of it was eventually swallowed up by Erniu's greed.

At the same time, he looked inward at his returning destiny carving knife, and there was also a wisp of gray mist on it. It was the mist that the carving knife had rolled back after cutting down before, and was now being absorbed by the carving knife.

This scene made Xu Qing's eyes sparkle with surprise.

Immediately afterwards, a breath of death exploded from Erniu's body, pushing him into the air.

The moment it stood in mid-air, all the corpses on the stars bowed their heads and knelt before it.

The maggots that were not dead also shrank into a ball, showing a feeling of surrender.

And in the sky, Erniu's eyes suddenly opened and turned gray.

The next moment, the gray disappeared and was replaced by greed, and Erniu laughed wildly to the sky.

"I have conquered this planet!"

Xu Qing felt relieved and was about to speak, but at this moment, something strange happened.

In this world, the rain from the sky fell like a torrential downpour, much more than before, forming rain lines and turning into an endless rain curtain.

And within this rain curtain, a world appears.

This world is dark, and countless graves are looming...

It's raining outside and it's raining inside.

At this moment, the rain seemed to become a medium, integrating everything, including Erniu who was laughing wildly in the air, and Xu Qing whose expression changed.

Devour them all.
