Chapter 3839: 3839 Chapter 3839: One Arrow, Three Targets From the Twilight Drum Emperor’s account, Lin Moyu learned two pieces of knowledge that few know. First is the concept of eternal qi: every eternal existence possesses a breath of eternal qi, which can render anything eternal. Second is about the chaotic qi they drew in: it turns out to be a kind of tiny worm living in chaos, which the Twilight Drum Emperor calls a chaos worm. The refined chaos essence is the soul of the chaos worm, while the Void Soul Essence Stone is the corpse of the chaos worm. Chaos worms are peculiar creatures without intelligence. They can merge infinitely, both in life and death. Thus, after refinement, their souls continually merge, making the chaos essence ever larger. Their corpses also keep merging, growing larger and larger. The Void Soul Essence Stone in Lin Moyu’s hand is formed from the fused corpses of tens of millions of chaos worms. Upon learning that the Void Soul Essence Stone is actually the corpse of chaos worms, Lin Moyu’s first thought was whether this thing could be used for corpse explosion. He wasn’t sure about the vitality of chaos worms, but given their absurdly high level, their vitality couldn’t be weak. Even if a single one wasn’t enough, the fusion of millions of corpses should suffice. If used for corpse explosion, who knows what the effect would be. Lin Moyu asked, "It’s said eternal existences can’t fall, so how did you get killed by the Lord of Time?" The Twilight Drum Emperor replied, "Eternal existences won’t perish unless they lose the will to live; otherwise, they only enter dormancy. You cultivators are like this, and so are we Emperors." "The Lord of Time refined the Poison Great Dao, condensing its entire essence into a single drop of ultimate poison, causing me to fall into temporary dormancy. Then he sealed me into the River of Time, and with its baptism, forced me into eternal slumber within the river." "On top of that, the River of Time is isolated from the outside, creating the illusion of my demise." "But what he didn’t know is that I left a remnant soul here, protected by eternal qi, so it survived and allowed the Morning Bell Emperor to learn the truth immediately." Indeed, killing an eternal existence is nearly impossible; what the Lord of Time did was already the limit. Even so, the Twilight Drum Emperor only entered dormancy, not true death. If one day he returns from the River of Time, he can still be the Twilight Drum Emperor. Outside, the great battle raged on more intense than before. The Spacetime Spirit Realm was also affected, rumbling and shaking. The Morning Bell Emperor still held the upper hand, but fully suppressing the Lord of Time would take more time. The Twilight Drum Emperor sighed, "The Morning Bell Emperor left part of his power here to help me, so he can only use about eighty percent of his strength, which is holding him back." Lin Moyu watched the battle outside, frowning tightly: "The Lord of Time probably still has a backup plan. The Morning Bell Emperor must be careful." The Twilight Drum Emperor said nothing, but from the change in his aura, Lin Moyu sensed he was clearly nervous as well. At this moment, Lin Moyu didn’t take sides or fully trust the Twilight Drum Emperor’s words. He had his own judgment and knew neither side was someone he could afford to provoke; it was best not to get involved in their struggle. Just offering a warning was already the limit. In the scene, the River of Time appeared, the Time Great Dao poured down, and time became incomparably chaotic. The Spacetime Spirit Realm shook even more violently, as if it might collapse at any moment. The Morning Bell Emperor struck the bell forcefully, layering endless spaces to block the power of time. But the power of time was unpredictable and ever-changing; some spaces were annihilated, and the Spacetime Spirit Realm was inevitably affected. The Morning Bell Emperor’s hollow voice rang out: "Shi You, your human Daoist friend is in the Spacetime Spirit Realm right now. Aren’t you afraid of getting him killed?" The Lord of Time laughed loudly: "Daoist Lin is the reincarnation of a Great Dao Lord. He can’t die at worst, he’ll just reincarnate again." "In fact, if his luck is bad this time and his true spirit imprint is taken by the world will, maybe next time he’ll return to the Great Dao." "And don’t forget, if he dies in the Spacetime Spirit Realm, the karma falls on your head." At this moment, the Lord of Time looked completely different, his eyes full of killing intent and even a hint of madness. Lin Moyu instinctively felt this was the Lord of Time’s true face; all the previous friendliness was just an act. He’d not only fooled Lin Moyu, but even Discernment Beast. Discernment Beast wasn’t all-knowing, and the Lord of Time was usually very agreeable, so even it was misled. Lin Moyu sighed softly he truly didn’t want to get involved in the struggle between two eternal beings. But now, it seemed he had no choice but to get involved. The Lord of Time was already close to madness, using every means to force his way into the core of the Morning Bell Great Spirit Domain not to deal with the Morning Bell Emperor, but to destroy the Spacetime Spirit Realm. Only by destroying the Spacetime Spirit Realm could the Twilight Drum Emperor’s remnant soul lose its eternal protection, allowing the Lord of Time to truly seize the Twilight Drum. As for the Void Soul Essence Stone, it didn’t seem so important after all. Lin Moyu thought of the Three Lives Secret Method the Lord of Time controlled the River of Time and knew most things in the world. Perhaps he learned the Three Lives Secret Method from the River of Time; even without the Void Soul Essence Stone, he could use the Three Lives Secret Method to refine the Twilight Drum and become the new Twilight Drum Emperor. If so, the Morning Bell Emperor’s final step would be blocked. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 And if Lin Moyu died, the Lord of Time wouldn’t have to help him, thus avoiding karma, and Lin Moyu’s death would count against the Morning Bell Emperor. For the Lord of Time, this was truly a "one arrow, three targets" masterstroke. "What a scheme," Lin Moyu couldn’t help but sneer. At this point, he knew he could no longer stay uninvolved. But a struggle at the eternal level wasn’t something he could participate in. The Lord of Time suddenly took out a treasure shaped like a small mountain, holding it in his palm. He tossed the treasure, and it instantly grew into a mountain a hundred million miles high. The mountain hummed in the void, radiating powerful energy, and space instantly stabilized. The Morning Bell Emperor and Twilight Drum Emperor spoke in unison: "Immovable Mountain!" The Morning Bell Emperor’s expression darkened, his voice icy: "You actually obtained the Immovable Mountain." His words were met with the Lord of Time’s laughter, as he activated the Immovable Mountain. Space grew ever more stable, making it harder for the Morning Bell Emperor to manipulate space. Lin Moyu asked, "What is the Immovable Mountain?" The Twilight Drum Emperor replied, "The Immovable Mountain is a treasure of the Space Great Dao, belonging to that True Body Dao Lord. Its function is to stabilize space." "Although the Lord of Time plus the Immovable Mountain can’t kill the Morning Bell Emperor, it will put him at a disadvantage and prevent him from protecting the Spacetime Spirit Realm." The Lord of Time’s goal from the start was the Spacetime Spirit Realm, not the Morning Bell Emperor. Once the Morning Bell Emperor was affected, Lin Moyu himself would be in danger. And right now, he couldn’t leave battle shockwaves filled the outside, and stepping out would mean instant death. Lin Moyu’s expression was equally grim. "Twilight Drum Senior, can you do me a favor?" The Twilight Drum Emperor asked, "What favor?" Lin Moyu split off a wisp of his soul: "Help me get this soul fragment onto the Lord of Time maybe I have a way to stop him."
