Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1342  Good Response & Two Steps Ahead

[Unedited Chapter]

----

Time Eater waved his hand to summon a projection of the River of Time. He used it as a medium to release terrifying chaotic temporal storms, trying to break, or even stop, the seal. Sadly, his efforts were pointless. Wang Wei knew his Dao was Time, so how would he not prepare for such a possibility?'

'There is no need to hesitate,' Time Eater reminded himself as he gazed at the seal, which was only a few meters in all dimensions. His body suddenly changed into a monstrosity. He completely filled the barrier in only a few seconds, but his body did not stop expanding. Everyone present watched as the small barrier expanded at an abnormal speed.

In a few seconds, it reached the size of Time Eater's castle, but soon, it spread to include most of the Central Time Realm, which was the core area of Time Eater's territory — the capital, to be specific. "Stop him," Wang Wei yelled. Everyone was shocked by this monster that Time Eater had turned into, thus distracting them. Luckily, Wang Wei reminded them, and they quickly reinforced the seal, preventing it from spreading. However, their resistance was enormous, and they barely stopped the seal from expanding beyond its capabilities and shattering.

"What is that thing?" Sage Pure Flame asked, looking at this enormously large creature whose body seemed made of stars, galaxies, and time itself. However, no one answered him since they did not know.

"It's a Time Beast," Wang Wei said, and everyone gazed at him.

"Powerful creatures born from unique environments," he explained. "For example, Void Beasts are born in the spaces between worlds, Source Qi Beasts are born from the Source Qi Space, and Time Beasts are born from the River of Time. However, they are extremely rare since the conditions of their births are harsh beyond reason."

Everybody nodded.

"So, does he have the bloodline of a Time Beast?" Emperor Kong asked.

"That's the problem — he's supposed to be human. There has been no record of him acquiring such a bloodline," Wang Wei replied with squinted eyes.

"He should have acquired it at some point," Emperor Kong analyzed. "But the fact he was able to hide it so well shows how scheming his mind is."

"No, this is not a human who has acquired a bloodline. He's a Time Beast," Feng Heng suddenly said. Everybody looked at him and saw a third golden eye on his forehead.

"What are you saying?"

"If this poor monk guessed correctly, he's no longer human," Feng Heng explained. "This donor has abandoned his human body and taken over a Time Beast's body. The previous appearance was just a well-crafted meat puppet." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"He's right," Wang Wei said. "The only thing human about him is his soul, but it also seems to have some characteristics of the Time Beast; most likely, he swallowed the latter's." Learning that Time Eater's genuine body was a Time Beast was a great revelation. Wang Wei knew he would have suffered had he tried to plan the latter's downfall without knowing this piece of information.

"It's good that we know more about our opponent, but this is not helping our current situation," Emperor Kong said.

"Kong's right. Let's proceed to the next step," Wang Wei announced. This may be the only way to seal Time Eater truly.

"But what if that doesn't work?" Sage Pure Flame suddenly asked.

"We'll use Backup C."

"Which is?" he asked in confusion, and he was not the only one. The plan only reached Backup B.

"You'll know when we get there," Wang Wei replied. Emperor Kong frowned before suddenly thinking of something. "I understand," he said, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Sacrifices are necessary in these times of great trouble," Sage Lin Qi nodded, acquiescing. Wang Wei looked at this old man, not thinking he was this sharp. However, it made sense. After all, Sage Lin Qi's actions must have offended many people. Even with the Golden Body of Merit, some people would dare scheme against him. After all, even if they cannot kill him, they can seal him. However, the old man remained alive and continued his work, which showed he was not simple.

"Let's get started," Wang Wei said, and everyone started to recite a few words:

"The world is in chaos. Destiny has been stolen and shackled. The world needs freedom, which cannot be achieved until the perpetrators are dealt with. In my name as a [Sage]. I, Wang Wei (insert name), shall seal this evildoer to give hope to Heaven and Earth."

There are many positions or titles between Heaven and Earth, many of which have certain [Authorities]. For example, the Earth Emperor has full access to the Underworld and can even request a direct meeting with one of the Yama Kings. The position of [Sage] also has certain authority or power, mainly to protect the world or guide it in a better direction. These seven people are mobilizing this [Authority] to seal Time Eater. Such an approach would have been quick and easy a few hours ago but after the lock? Their authority is a power granted by Heaven and Earth, or Heavenly Dao, to be directed. So, the issue now is whether they can still mobilize its power.

Wang Wei looked at the sky, waiting with bated breath. The others were immediately worried, but he and Emperor Kong — who both already cultivated their Paragon Souls — could detect a recognizable power trying to be mobilized from Heaven and Earth. However, it's also apparent that something else was intercepting it. Luckily, a golden light descended from the sky after a few seconds and turned into golden chains surrounding the barrier.

The seal was completed. However, Wang Wei frowned. The seal did not shrink but remained the size of Time Eater's humongous body. This difference might not appear much to others, but he knew the difference. The new seal included not only Time Eater but also the entire Central Time Realm, meaning the latter had access to manpower and resources for that whole Realm. This meant he could cultivate and even plan for his escape.

'He cannot directly interfere, but his strength can continue to improve, and he might even find a way to interfere from the shadow,' Wang Wei analyzed. The current situation was the definition of he won the battle but not the war. It was not that simple to deal with those capable Paragons. However, Wang Wei was glad he did not have to use Backup C, as that would mean actual loss.

'You made an excellent response to my move,' Wang Wei thought. 'But I'm still a few steps ahead.' He waved his hand to condense his destiny into a spear.

"Gentlemen, if you don't mind, may I borrow your destiny?"

Everyone looked at him, not hiding their puzzlement. Emperor Kong remembered the information he gathered about that party and did not hesitate to add his destiny to the spear. Sage Lin Qi was also confused but followed suit after seeing Emperor Kong's actions.

Feng Heng did not say anything else and just lent his destiny. The monks who followed him copied him without asking for an explanation. After his outstanding merit in the lower dimensions, Feng Heng had an extremely high status in Buddhism, and everyone knew he'd probably be Mother Maitreya's next disciple.

Sage Pure Flame was the last one to instill his destiny. After seeing everyone do it, he knew refusing was a bad idea. Additionally, he had sensed that Sage Wang Wei was weary of him. His intuition told him if he refused, he might be able to leave this place alive, but he would not live long.

Wang Wei calmly took the [Spear of Destiny] with one hand, and with the other, he used a Luck Dao Spell. A roar echoed between Heaven and Earth, followed by the manifestation of an enormous dragon that covered Time Eater's territory. The dragon covered not only the Central Time Realm but all the territory, including countless other realms, worlds, universes, dimensions, etc.

"Wang Wei, you bastard," the Time Beast roared. He knew what was going to happen. As expected, Wang Wei threw the spear, trying to destroy Time Eater's Qi Luck Dragon, just like he did to Five Feathers.

'I can't let this happen,' Time Eater thought. Under normal circumstances, he did not care much about this luck now that his plan was close to completion. However, it was an entirely different matter now that he was sealed. He looked at the dragon and knew it would not last long. After all, the spear was created with the attribute of destroying Qi Luck Dragon; it also did not help that the destiny used to create it originated from [Sages].

Time Eater clawed his own heart to draw this gray and misty blood that exuded the power of time. He drew a magic circle in the hair before putting his blood at the center:

[The Art of Sacrifice]

The Dao of Sacrifice is one of the universe's most versatile and powerful Dao. As long as you have enough knowledge/accomplishment in the field, you can gain anything — with the proper sacrifice. Time Beast's blood is extremely valuable, even more so for the Blood Essence from their heart. Time Eater bypassed the seal with this sacrifice and temporarily controlled the Qi Luck Dragon.
