Chapter 3840: Corpse Explosion
The Twilight Drum Emperor didn't ask Lin Moyu why he wanted to do this and simply agreed, "Alright!"
A wisp of Lin Moyu's soul was drawn away and landed on the projection clone of the Morning Bell.
In the next instant, Lin Moyu felt his soul had already arrived in the outside world.
The Morning Bell Emperor seemed to hear the words of the Twilight Drum Emperor and struck the Morning Bell heavily, causing the just-stabilized space to shatter once more.
Countless spatial rifts appeared, enveloping the Lord of Time.
The descending power of time was forcibly cut off as well.
But this situation couldn't last long the Lord of Time was still laughing wildly: "It's useless, you can't trap me in the Spacetime Spirit Realm."
The Morning Bell Emperor said nothing, continuing to strike the Morning Bell. Space exploded with a roar, forming spatial vortices, trying to sweep the Lord of Time away.
On the other side of the spatial vortex, the Origin Ancestral Land appeared as a phantom. This time, the spatial eruption was so intense that even the Lord of Time found it difficult to control himself.
At that moment, Lin Moyu's wisp of soul silently landed on the Lord of Time.
The Twilight Drum Emperor spoke at the same time, "It's done."
Lin Moyu could sense it too. He took a deep breath and focused his will.
Corpse Explosion!
The Void Soul Essence Stone in his hand silently disintegrated.
Boom!
A burst of brilliant light erupted from the Lord of Time, followed by his anguished scream. A massive hole appeared in the Lord of Time's soul.
His aura plummeted, weakening by an unknown magnitude.
Lin Moyu was overjoyed: "It worked!"
Using the Void Soul Essence Stone as the material, he had truly blasted the Lord of Time.
The injury wasn't just to the soul even his physical body, wherever it was, was severely damaged in this explosion.
It had been a long time since he'd used Corpse Explosion, but its effect was as reliable as ever.
Eternal existences cannot die, only fall into dormancy but that doesn't mean they can't be injured.
This Corpse Explosion was enough to leave the Lord of Time with a lasting lesson.
The Lord of Time didn't even know where the attack came from.
Even if he searched the River of Time, he wouldn't be able to find Lin Moyu within the Spacetime Spirit Realm.
This time, he would have to swallow the loss in silence.
The bell rang out even more fiercely seizing the opportunity while he was down, the Morning Bell Emperor struck again, kicking the Lord of Time while he was weak.
Although everyone knew the Lord of Time couldn't be killed, making his injuries worse, or even forcing him into dormancy, was not impossible.
The Lord of Time regained his senses and, enduring the pain, forcefully pulled the River of Time to his side. With a single step, he entered the River of Time, which then disappeared he had fled.
As he left, Lin Moyu saw fear in his eyes.
It was clear that at his level, there was little in the world he didn't know.
But now, after being wounded by an unknown source, that was what truly terrified him.
He feared dormancy he wouldn't dare stay here any longer.
Not just the Morning Bell Great Spirit Domain, but even the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain, he probably wouldn't dare linger in.
The Twilight Drum Emperor said, "Daoist Lin, what a brilliant move you managed to so grievously wound the Lord of Time."
Lin Moyu replied, "That was my trump card, Senior. Please help me keep it secret."
The Twilight Drum Emperor laughed, "Rest assured, Daoist Lin, I won't say a word about what happened here not even to Discernment Beast."
A shimmer of light, and the Morning Bell Emperor arrived.
Lin Moyu sensed the complexity in his gaze he was clearly still processing what had just happened.
Lin Moyu asked, "What will you two Emperors do next?"
The Morning Bell Emperor sighed, "I thought I could outmaneuver Shi You this time, using him to pull the Twilight Drum brother back from the River of Time."
"I didn't expect to fall into Shi You's scheme again and nearly cause disaster. Fortunately, Daoist Lin, you resolved the crisis."
"After this, Shi You will definitely go off to heal he'll return to the real world and won't come back to the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain for a while."
Lin Moyu nodded. Judging from the Lord of Time's expression just now, this was highly likely.
The Morning Bell Emperor continued, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
Lin Moyu said, "Please speak, Emperor."
The Twilight Drum Emperor added, "Say whatever's on your mind. Daoist Lin is easy to talk to, unlike Shi You."
The Morning Bell Emperor said, "Daoist Lin, you also understand the Time Great Dao, so you should be able to summon the River of Time. While Shi You is away healing, I'd like you to enter the River of Time and find where the Twilight Drum brother is sealed."
Lin Moyu's expression changed, a wry smile on his face: "Emperor, you give me too much credit. I'm just a first-tier innate soul at the Great Dao realm entering the River of Time isn't a problem, but finding where the Twilight Drum Emperor is sealed would be suicide."
It was easy to imagine that the place sealing the Twilight Drum Emperor would be under the Lord of Time's watch. If Lin Moyu went there, he'd be swatted to death.
The Morning Bell Emperor looked to the Twilight Drum Emperor, "Twilight Drum brother, do you think this is possible?"
In terms of understanding the River of Time, aside from the Lord of Time himself, the Twilight Drum Emperor was the expert.
The Twilight Drum Emperor thought for a moment, "It is dangerous, but not impossible. Most of the River of Time records the events of past and present."
"Only a tiny part is used to seal my main soul."
"Back when I debated the Dao with the Lord of Time, we used the Twilight Drum to evolve a branch of the River of Time. If Daoist Lin is willing, he can use this branch to conceal himself."
"Even if Shi You weren't injured, as long as he isn't watching the River of Time, it would be hard for him to sense you."
Lin Moyu felt the Twilight Drum Emperor was trying to reassure him, hinting that he wanted Lin Moyu to go.
It was understandable retrieving the main soul was like resurrection, and no matter how calm the Twilight Drum Emperor appeared, he couldn't resist the temptation.
But he didn't say it outright, perhaps not to pressure Lin Moyu.
The Morning Bell Emperor was more direct: "Daoist Lin, will you go? We'll do our best to keep you safe. I'll lend you the Morning Bell's projection if you're in danger, you can use it to escape the River of Time."
Lin Moyu thought for a moment: "This is too dangerous for me I really don't want to go."
As he spoke, both Emperors showed clear disappointment.
Lin Moyu continued, "If you really want me to go, I have a few small requests I hope you'll agree to."
The Morning Bell Emperor said, "Name them."
Lin Moyu said, "I want three Void Soul Essence Stones, each at least as big as the last one, and I want this Essence of Chaos as well."
Without hesitation, the Morning Bell Emperor agreed, "No problem."
He immediately produced three Void Soul Essence Stones, each larger than the previous one.
Lin Moyu knew he must have accumulated them over the years sure enough, he had.
He wasn't greedy; three were enough.
Lin Moyu said, "And my third request is actually the one I mentioned before about the will of my world. Now that Shi You can't act, I hope you two Emperors will help."
The Morning Bell Emperor said, "I already promised that I will definitely act when the time comes."
