Chapter 1341 Quick & Aggressive Move

Chapter 1341 Quick & Aggressive Move

Time Eater sat on a throne, calmly listening to his subordinate explain everything that had occurred since he left for the frontier. Although he knew about the most significant news, he was meticulous about this type of thing, so he wanted to know everything to ensure he did not miss anything crucial. He would ask questions once in a while once he heard a topic he thought was important.

He suddenly stopped and raised his head. The room was immediately silenced, especially after Time Eater stood up with a frown. The people stopped breathing to ensure they did not bother the lord.

'What's going on? Why am I feeling uneasy?' Time Eater thought. He immediately trusted his instinct that something was about to happen, but he could not fathom what. 'Is someone going to attack me? If so, who?'

He recalled his enemies and first thought about Yan Hai and Wu Hong. So, he used a technique to check on the people he placed around their factions. Of course, he did not expect to notice their disappearance with these low-level soldiers.

Time Eater was a master of Time Dao, and that's how he tracked his opponent. Through the soldiers, he used a technique that tracked residual time fluctuation around the entire Origin Seal Continent and the Dao Opening Sect. This residual fluctuation is difficult to detect unless these two already knew he was doing it, making it easier for him to track them.

'Nothing?' Time Eater thought. His technique did not track any individual directly but checked how much the surrounding space-time continuum in these locations has changed. Yan Hai and Wu Hong are extremely powerful, meaning their presence significantly influences the surrounding space-time continuum. So, if any of them had left, there would be signs.

'Wait, there is a significant change from the last time I checked. This level of effect — Wang Wei. Did he leave? Is he the one coming to attack me? But how did he get the courage?'

As soon as these thoughts appeared, Time Eater removed them. He would not underestimate any Dao Overlords, especially one with enough time to prepare to eliminate their opponent.

'I must prepare to respond.'

Boom!

Time Eater's face changed. He disappeared from his palace and teleported outside. He looked in the distance and discovered four pillars in the heavens releasing golden lights. "The Resentment Purification Pillars? Kong, are you a part of this?" Time Eater immediately noticed four people at each pillar, including Emperor Kong.

Feng Heng nodded before releasing his peak first-level Golden Body of Merit and Empyrean Realm cultivation level. In the past 10,000 Yuan Epochs, Feng Heng used his savings from the lower dimension, the Buddhist Sect's resources, and all his merit and destiny to reach cultivation of 72% Grand Dao Source or the early stages of Empyrean. His golden body has almost reached the second level, and the next time he receives the reward for reviving Buddhism in the lower dimension, he should achieve a second level.

The other monks followed him, and they were also first-level Golden Body with Empyrean Realm cultivation, but they were all in the late or peak stages, similar to Wang Wei. With the addition of these three people reinforcing Sage Pure Flame, the seal's flaw was made up, thus changing the situation.

The barrier, which had previously stopped, immediately started shrinking again, forcing Time Eater to take drastic measures. He released all his powers to force the sealing process to stop temporarily. He gazed at Wang Wei: "I guess I should have expected such a move from you."

Time Eater had to admit that he had lost in their first confrontation. He acknowledged it but would not admit it was because he was not as intelligent as the latter. His defeat was the result of a lack of information and circumstances. He did not know as much about Wang Wei as he thought, and he did not have the time to plan or anticipate his opponent's next move while he was on the frontier.

Wang Wei did not pay him any mind. Instead, he focused on completing the seal. Time Eater turned to Emperor Kong: "Are you sure you want to do this? Wang Wei has the Dao Opening Sect as a safety net in case something goes wrong, but you — you'll lose everything you've built so far as long as you make one wrong move."

Emperor Kong remained quiet. Time Eater was telling the truth, but that was not enough for him to get in bed with him. The chances of making the wrong move drastically increased by being on Time Eater's side rather than being his enemy. The situation looked hopeless, but Emperor Kong knew that his future was only guaranteed by betting on Heavenly Dao. If Supreme Unity wins, he does not want to think about what future awaits him or the Academy.

'Plus, as Xu Shi said, it's always a good thing to bet on Wang Wei's side,' Emperor Kong thought as he continued his actions to complete the seal.

Time Eater turned to Sage Lin Qi, but he did not even bother, leaving only the last group. He scrutinized the monks briefly before focusing on Sage Pure Flame.

"You have no bone in this fight, right?" Time Eater said. "You're probably here because these people promised you some benefits. Let me guess —- merit? I think I'm right. However, in the current situation, the merit system is malfunctioning, to say the least, so what's the point of working so hard for nothing?"

Just like the others, Pure Flame remained quiet. However, no one knew whether it was because he was not tempted or out of fear that if he took action, the monks behind him would annihilate him with one strike.

Time Eater looked at Pure Flame before glancing at the others. His gaze then shifted to the outside. 'As expected, I cannot rely on these people.' He looked around, analyzing the situation.

'Is this my only option in this scenario?' He was unwilling to reveal one of his trump cards so early, but Time Eater knew he might not have a choice.
