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.
He identified these four people, and with one glance, he knew what they had in common — Golden Bodies of Merit. His face changed as he thought of something, so he rushed to stop them. Sadly, he was too late as the Four Pillars released a barrier surrounding the palace.
'So that's your plan,' Time Eater said gloomily. 'Seal me so I can stay out of the way while you eliminate the other useless bastards. Wang Wei, this is far from over.' Time Eater took a deep breath to calm down. The situation was severe, and he needed to act swiftly.
He looked at this seal formed by four [Sages], trying to find a weak spot. His eyes suddenly lit. 'Three of them have a second-level body, while the last one only has a first-level. I can exploit such a flaw in this seal.' Time Eater did not waste time as he immediately rushed to the Pure Flame Sage's pillar and started attacking.
'So, he found it after all,' Wang Wei thought. He knew the slight flaw of this seal, but he did not expect Time Eater to find it so quickly. 'You're really not a simple bastard, are you?' Wang Wei deployed his golden body to finish the sealing process as fast as possible, and the others followed. The barriers around the palace shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, trying to capture Time Eater. However, Wang Wei, or the others, were not happy.
'This won't work,' Emperor Kong said. 'I tried my best to reduce the flaw of this seal, but he caught it so quickly. With his strength, he might be able to delay long enough to find a way to destroy it.'
'Should we move to the next step? However, it might not work after the lock,' Sage Lin Qi said. Everyone was quiet. Time Eater became aggressive with each passing second; meanwhile, the barrier seal slowly closed in, but the speed was reducing with time.
"Well, this is not the time to chat, so let's get down to business." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
