Time Eater snapped his finger to manifest chains, but this time, his target was not Wang Wei but the Time Wraith. The creature gave him the dirtiest look, its facial expression indicating Time Eater was committing an act of blasphemy on par with Wang Wei. However, Time Eater ignored him and continued his actions.
The Time Wraith struggled, but it was useless. Wang Wei ordered his White and Black Impermanence to interfere but Time Eater used his Grandmist Wheel to create layers of universe as blockage. Everywhere the impermanence passed, these universes died, but it was still useless as Time Eater achieved his objective.
The Time Wraith turned into a small gem embedded into his forehead. Time Eater's aura became more ancient, primordial, and noble. His connection to the River of Time had reached the highest level. 'His strength is reaching the limit of Peak Paragon,' Wang Wei thought; he knew he could not be outdone, so he also started artificially boosting his strength.
He first fused the White and Black Impermanence. In many of their iterations, these two are a single individual, so the concept of unity was already built into the technique that created them. Then, Wang Wei summoned his Earth Emperor Crown before putting on the new White and Black Impermanence.
'Let's call this [False Yama King],' Wang Wei thought as he swallowed this artificially created Yama King. His aura also changed, becoming more primordial and deadly: Wang Wei's connection to Samsara had increased. However, this was not the end. Since Time Eater could increase his connection to the River of Time, couldn't he do the same?
Without hesitation, Wang Wei summoned his [Future Buddha Self] before using them as a medium to access more power or [Authority] of the River of Time. "No, you won't," Time Eater said before making a slashing sign with his fingers. A terrifying cut rushed toward the Future Buddha Self. Wang Wei teleported before the slash and summoned a Hungry Ghost to swallow it.
However, the attack suddenly became intangible by entering a parallel dimension, leaving a projection. Wang Wei reacted, trying to use his Time Dao to intercept the attack, but it was too late. The slash cut off the Future Buddha Self's connection before turning into a seal that blocked Wang Wei's future action of synchronizing to the River of Time.
Wang Wei was angry, but this emotion lasted less than a microsecond before he controlled it. Instead, he materialized a black gate behind him, and once the thing opened, an ocean of dark-red blood rushed out. The [Asura Slaughter Ocean] contained numerous powers: death, killing, slaughter, and corruption.
Wang Wei controlled it to drown Time Eater, but the latter responded by manipulating time to return the ocean to its point of origin. However, Wang Wei showed him that two could play at this game. Before the latter's attack could activate, Wang Wei used his [Freedom Dao] to make the blood "free" from any time effect.
The blood swallowed the Time Eater, but he reacted by protecting himself with the power of destiny, preventing his body or soul from being affected. However, Wang Wei's target was not him, but his connection to the River of Time. Although he did not want to admit it, Wang Wei knew his connection to Samsara was not as deep as Time Eater, so he chose to reduce the latter's.
Wang Wei's approach was successful. The Asura Slaughter Ocean was created from all the killing of the Asura Race throughout history, meaning it also contained the resentment and unwillingness of all these creatures killed. That resentment is the ultimate corrosive, and Wang Wei used it to corrode Time Eater's connection.
'It's still too much for my taste,' Wang Wei complained. Time Eater is a Time Beast and fused with a Time Wraith, meaning his affinity with Time Dao was probably on par with Wang Wei before removing his Fate Seed Status. But now, the ocean corruption has decreased Time River's affinity and connection by a few percent.
Time Eater did not focus on his loss since it was pointless. Instead, he went on the offensive. He snapped his finger, creating a strange echo—an echo of the past. Time around him appeared to rewind, with trillions of yuan epochs passing in less than a nanosecond. Once the process ended, a strange creature appeared in the world.
The creature was a pair of eyes about 20 meters tall, 3 meters wide, and linked through a strange green nerve more than 1 meter thick. The creatures glanced at Wang Wei and its eyes turned red; it appeared as if he was about to release an eye beam.
'Is that a Genesis Creature? No, it doesn't have that ancient and primordial aura that is slightly different from the Grand Dao Source,' Wang Wei thought. Well, it did not matter whether it was a Genesis Lifeform or something from later on, Wang Wei treated it as such. He used a technique called [Grand Dao's Wrath].
