Chapter 4158: The Great Dao Changes Hands

Words, at times, are also a kind of weapon. If used well, their effect can even surpass many powerful techniques. The Spirit of Time lives within the River of Time, having witnessed the birth, aging, sickness, and death of countless living beings and the unfolding of myriad stories across endless worlds.

Having seen so many different people and stories, as long as the Spirit of Time isn't a fool, he would have learned to turn words into sharp tools. The Spirit of Time had prepared for this day for countless years, ready to use every method to deal with the Lord of Time.

The Lord of Time was clearly furious, but there was nothing he could do against the Spirit of Time. The more helpless he felt, the more anxious and angry he became. The Spirit of Time kept attacking him with words, while Lin Moyu noticed a hint of blue light deep within the River of Time.

That blue light gave Lin Moyu a very bad feeling.

"Is this Dao poison?"

"No, it's Time Venom!"

Lin Moyu saw the true nature of the blue light it was a deadly poison refined from endless time. The resentment, anger, and curses of countless beings across infinite worlds had accumulated over the ages, finally forming this Time Venom. The venom contained unimaginable resentment, capable of erasing a Dao or shattering a Dao heart.

The Spirit of Time's understanding of time truly surpassed the Lord of Time's. The Time Dao isn't just about speeding up or slowing down; it also contains many ways to kill. The power of Time Venom is immense, rivaling even the Curse Dao more than enough to poison other Eternals.

The faint blue light silently reached the Lord of Time and exploded. The venom instantly enveloped him, and the giant he controlled fell into chaos. Countless timelines interwove, and the chaotic eruption, filled with curses and resentment, struck at the Lord of Time's Dao heart.

Lin Moyu could see that the Spirit of Time had prepared thoroughly for this moment everything was aimed at the Lord of Time. Over the long years, the Spirit of Time had studied his opponent thoroughly. The Lord of Time's greatest mistake was choosing to slumber within the River of Time. If he had chosen the Time Dao itself, the result might have been a bit better, but only a bit.

He wasn't clever enough scheming against others for years, yet not realizing he was being schemed against. While the Lord of Time was assaulted by the venom, the Spirit of Time launched his offensive, seizing more territory within the Time Dao. Now, the Spirit of Time controlled sixty percent of the Time Dao a decisive advantage. But even now, the outcome wasn't fully settled; Lin Moyu sensed the Spirit of Time surely had another move prepared.

Sure enough, the Spirit of Time shouted, and his soul avatar within the Time Dao merged with his true body in the River of Time, transforming into a giant that spanned the river and the Dao.

The Spirit of Time's voice echoed through the River of Dao: "My followers, help me attain the Dao!"

In an instant, time flowed backward within the Time Dao, and the phantoms of countless beings appeared. The same thing happened in the River of Time countless beings, all from the past, who should have long since vanished, reappeared, clearly due to the Spirit of Time's manipulation. These beings offered up vast amounts of faith power, which fell upon the Lord of Time like blades, cutting his giant form to pieces.

But this was only a surface effect the faith power didn't just destroy the giant; it transferred the power within him to the Spirit of Time. The Spirit of Time grew stronger, while the Lord of Time grew weaker. The gap between them widened with each moment.

"So well prepared!"

The Spirit of Time had prepared too thoroughly, using the River of Time to set up countless tricks. He'd kept the souls of the dead as his followers, learned how to use faith power, and when he connected to the Time Dao, he reversed time and temporarily resurrected all his followers. Of course, this resurrection was brief once time stopped reversing, all would vanish.

Lin Moyu understood this, but the followers did not. The Spirit of Time never intended to truly bring them back to life such a violation of the world's rules was not his goal. He just needed them to be "alive" long enough to complete their assigned task.

With each wave of attack, the Lord of Time's aura weakened. The Spirit of Time wasn't done yet he formed a great bow in his hands, and a Time Arrow slowly took shape upon it.

Time flowed along the arrow as the Spirit of Time drew the bow fully and intoned, "Arrow of Time!" He released the arrow, which struck the Lord of Time unerringly.

At that moment, the Lord of Time's flow of time became chaotic, and with his time in disarray, his thoughts became confused. Already struggling against the Time Venom, his Dao heart now fell into even deeper chaos.

The Spirit of Time continued, "Explode! Reverse the flow!"

Boom!

The Time Arrow exploded, and the Lord of Time was cast into a reverse flow of time. The reversal was so fast that in a blink, ten thousand years had passed. Another blink, and a hundred thousand years.

The Lord of Time's aura surged one hundred thousand years ago was his prime. But the reversal didn't stop; it kept tracing further back. A million years, five million, ten million years. In an instant, the Lord of Time was shrouded in the time of countless ages past, as if returned to the very beginning of his cultivation, when his realm was low and he had just begun to comprehend the Dao. His aura plummeted, and the reverse flow seemed endless.

"What a move!" Lin Moyu couldn't help but praise what he saw.

The Spirit of Time's tactics were seamlessly connected: first, a verbal battle to anger the Lord of Time; then, the Time Venom to break his Dao heart and throw him into chaos; then, the faith power of his followers to strip away the Lord of Time's strength and add it to his own; finally, the Time Arrow to cast his foe into a reverse flow, reducing him to his weakest state.

With all these calculations, the Lord of Time had no hope of resistance. The Spirit of Time's domain within the Time Dao grew to over eighty percent he had nearly complete control. The Lord of Time had no chance of a comeback.

It all looked simple, but in truth, it was the result of countless years of planning by the Spirit of Time. Every step was crucial miss one, and the plan would fail.

Lin Moyu knew the drama was about to end; the Lord of Time had no hope left. Even the Candle Dragon seemed entranced by the spectacle, his own actions becoming half hearted. From the Candle Dragon's eyes, Lin Moyu could see his shock such a change of Dao master had never happened before.

Lin Moyu said, "Within the realms of heaven and earth, there is always a sliver of hope. This is the Spirit of Time's chance at life. The Lord of Time made a fatal mistake and must pay the price. The path of cultivation is about defying fate one wrong step, and there's no return."

These words seemed directed at the Candle Dragon, but of course he understood. The Candle Dragon snorted coldly, "Spare me the grand philosophy. Today, it's only because I lack the strength that I can't stop you. That doesn't mean I approve of what you've done."

Lin Moyu smiled, "I'm not finished yet."

His soul force transformed into a sharp arrow, whistling toward the Curse Dao.
