Chapter 3830: The Lord of Time

At the last moment, the Wings of Time's Curse activated, and the Time Great Dao erupted, causing Lin Moyu's personal time to accelerate sharply.

Space became chaotic, time was stirred up, and layers of ripples appeared on the outskirts of the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain those were the marks of time.

Lin Moyu shot forward like an arrow, piercing through the ripples and charging into the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

As he broke in, the deep drumbeat sounded again, lower than before, and the ripples of time shattered in the sound.

The entire void fell into a state of time reversal; the scene of Lin Moyu charging in replayed again and again.

Lin Moyu heard a sound and looked back to see "himself" repeatedly dashing toward the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

But each scene was only a fragment none showed him succeeding.

Inside and outside the Great Spirit Domain was separated by a thin line: inside, all was calm; outside, time surged violently.

Just ten seconds later, all the scenes shattered with a bang. Lin Moyu's expression changed dramatically as his soul twisted and suffered severe injuries.

"Time Strangulation!"

Lin Moyu realized what had just happened: the Time Great Dao, using the imprint of the past, had strangled his present self.

He possessed this ability too, but it was ineffective against those of higher cultivation than himself.

Fortunately, with the Time Great Dao protecting him, he was only injured and not in mortal danger.

Life force surged, quickly repairing his soul, as Lin Moyu flew deeper into the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

Skeleton Generals spread out in all directions.

Here, time seemed to lose its effect; he couldn't sense its flow, and even his thoughts seemed to slow down.

The entire Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain was suffused with the power of the Time Great Dao, making time stand still.

Without the protection of the Time Great Dao, a cultivator would become lost here, their thoughts gradually halting until they were trapped forever.

Only the Time Great Dao allowed Lin Moyu to move freely.

Now he understood why Discernment Beast said he could survive here because of the Time Great Dao.

Unknowingly, he flew for nearly two days. The domain was utterly silent; Lin Moyu saw no void beasts, no soul worlds just a profound desolation.

He also hadn't seen any small spirit domains.

Since entering, he'd always been in the same small spirit domain.

Either it was enormous, or the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain only had one small spirit domain.

He recalled noticing from a distance that the domain seemed small, and remembered that in the Redstone Great Spirit Domain, small spirit domains were merging.

If the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain had also merged its small spirit domains, it would make sense for it to be smaller.

Lin Moyu changed direction and flew onward.

Several days passed without reaching the edge of the small spirit domain.

He was now seventy percent sure the small spirit domains had merged into one.

But the key was, there wasn't a single void beast or sign of life just chaotic mist. To Lin Moyu, this was true emptiness.

"What is that?"

Far ahead, through the mist, Lin Moyu suddenly saw a glimmer of light.

A speck of light in the darkness, dazzling.

He quickly approached, and after passing through several layers of mist, he saw it clearly.

A brilliant river flowed from afar, winding through the empty void.

Lin Moyu had seen this river several times before, but seeing it again shocked him more than anyone it shouldn't be here!

"The River of Time why is the River of Time here?"

Lin Moyu murmured. The River of Time shouldn't be in this place.

Yet it was right before his eyes, and had clearly existed for a long time, not just appeared.

He flew closer and saw countless time fragments in the river, like scenes in a painting, tumbling through the current.

He frowned; all the time fragments showed similar, chaotic scenes. After watching for a while, he couldn't make sense of them.

He followed the river and saw more and more scenes, but they all came from the Soul Void.

Some showed void beasts, some soul worlds.

Most were just empty illusions.

Lin Moyu finally understood: this was not the real River of Time, but an imitation.

"This isn't the real River of Time!"

"Who copied the River of Time, and why?"

"All the records in this imitation are from the Soul Void. Could it be the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain's Emperor?"

"There is no Emperor here now, but there must have been one before. This river must have been created by a former Emperor."

Lin Moyu didn't enter the river he didn't know what would happen inside, and wouldn't risk it without certainty.

He flew along the river for a long time. The closer he got, the more chaotic time became, to the point he couldn't tell how long he'd been flying.

Finally, he glimpsed the end of the river.

Dong!

A deep drumbeat sounded again.

The calm river exploded into huge waves, shaking the entire domain. The power of time swept out through the river, across the domain, and even beyond.

Inside the domain, the effect was much weaker.

The time reversal targeted the area outside the domain, not inside.

As the drum sounded, Lin Moyu saw that at the end of the river sat a giant drum.

The drum's shape was exactly like the outline of the domain he'd seen before.

"Twilight Drum!"

Lin Moyu instinctively recognized it as the innate origin treasure: Twilight Drum.

The Nine Great Spirit Domains were not formed by Emperors, but by nine innate origin treasures.

These treasures were all in the hands of Emperors and rarely seen this was a rare chance to see one up close.

As he drew closer, Lin Moyu was startled to see ten figures standing beside the drum.

Time Dao power swirled around one of them, making time speed up and slow down, stop and go, filled with chaos.

Only the Lord of Time could do that.

When Lin Moyu saw him, the Lord of Time noticed Lin Moyu too.

"Hm?"

A crisp voice called out: "Greetings, Lord of Immortality."

Lin Moyu was also surprised the voice was familiar. When he entered the Returning Origin Land and reached the Immortality Great Dao, someone had congratulated him. This was one of those voices.

Lin Moyu sped over and bowed: "Greetings, Senior."

"No need for formality, Lord of Immortality. We are fellow cultivators no need for humility. I am Shiyou, well met!" The Lord of Time smiled, the Time Great Dao fading from around him, revealing his true form.

He was human, appearing middle-aged, with a gentle look and a faint smile.
