Ti Eater sat on a throne, calmly listening to his subordinate explain everything that had occurred since he left for the frontier. Although he knew about the most significant news, he was ticulous about this type of thing, so he wanted to know everything to ensure he did not miss anything crucial. He would ask questions once in a while once he heard a topic he thought was important.
He suddenly stopped and raised his head. The room was imdiately silenced, especially after Ti Eater stood up with a frown. The people stopped breathing to ensure they did not bother the lord.
'What's going on? Why am I feeling uneasy?' Ti Eater thought. He imdiately trusted his instinct that sothing was about to happen, but he could not fathom what. 'Is soone going to attack ? If so, who?'
He recalled his enemies and first thought about Yan Hai and Wu Hong. So, he used a technique to check on the people he placed around their factions. Of course, he did not expect to notice their disappearance with these low-level soldiers.
Ti Eater was a master of Ti Dao, and that's how he tracked his opponent. Through the soldiers, he used a technique that tracked residual ti fluctuation around the entire Origin Seal Continent and the Dao Opening Sect. This residual fluctuation is difficult to detect unless these two already knew he was doing it, making it easier for him to track them.
'Nothing?' Ti Eater thought. His technique did not track any individual directly but checked how much the surrounding space-ti continuum in these locations has changed. Yan Hai and Wu Hong are extrely powerful, aning their presence significantly influences the surrounding space-ti continuum. So, if any of them had left, there would be signs.
'Wait, there is a significant change from the last ti I checked. This level of effect — Wang Wei. Did he leave? Is he the one coming to attack ? But how did he get the courage?'
As soon as these thoughts appeared, Ti Eater removed them. He would not underestimate any Dao Overlords, especially one with enough ti to prepare to eliminate their opponent.
'I must prepare to respond.'
Boom!
Ti Eater's face changed. He disappeared from his palace and teleported outside. He looked in the distance and discovered four pillars in the heavens releasing golden lights. "The Resentnt Purification Pillars? Kong, are you a part of this?" Ti Eater imdiately noticed four people at each pillar, including Emperor Kong.
He identified these four people, and with one glance, he knew what they had in common — Golden Bodies of rit. His face changed as he thought of sothing, so he rushed to stop them. Sadly, he was too late as the Four Pillars released a barrier surrounding the palace.
'So that's your plan,' Ti Eater said gloomily. 'Seal so I can stay out of the way while you eliminate the other useless bastards. Wang Wei, this is far from over.' Ti Eater took a deep breath to calm down. The situation was severe, and he needed to act swiftly.
He looked at this seal ford by four [Sages], trying to find a weak spot. His eyes suddenly lit. 'Three of them have a second-level body, while the last one only has a first-level. I can exploit such a flaw in this seal.' Ti Eater did not waste ti as he imdiately rushed to the Pure Fla Sage's pillar and started attacking.
'So, he found it after all,' Wang Wei thought. He knew the slight flaw of this seal, but he did not expect Ti Eater to find it so quickly. 'You're really not a simple bastard, are you?' Wang Wei deployed his golden body to finish the sealing process as fast as possible, and the others followed. The barriers around the palace shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, trying to capture Ti Eater. However, Wang Wei, or the others, were not happy.
'This won't work,' Emperor Kong said. 'I tried my best to reduce the flaw of this seal, but he caught it so quickly. With his strength, he might be able to delay long enough to find a way to destroy it.'
'Should we move to the next step? However, it might not work after the lock,' Sage Lin Qi said. Everyone was quiet. Ti Eater beca aggressive with each passing second; anwhile, the barrier seal slowly closed in, but the speed was reducing with ti.
'Hold on for a little while. I have a plan,' Wang Wei said. He was telling the truth, but, as always, only the partial truth. He had anticipated this outco, so he prepared for it. However, he did not imdiately act for two reasons: firstly, this was a perfect opportunity to gather data about Ti Eater's fighting prowess, and secondly, he wanted to observe Sage Pure Fla.
His part was indeed the weak link of the array/seal, but Wang Wei wanted to ensure the latter was not suspicious by not doing his job correctly. Wang Wei kept observing him, prepared to slap him to death at the slightest signs of rebellion.
'It seems I may be overthinking,' Wang Wei concluded after a few minutes of observations. 'In that case, let's move to the next step.' He sent a signal, and imdiately afterward, three people appeared next to the Pure Sage Fla, shocking the latter and ready to attack or defend himself. However, he was soon reassured after realizing these people were Buddhist Monks.
"Feng Heng, thank you for coming," Wang Wei said, looking at the leading monk.
"Donor, this poor monk is happy to help. After all, you are still the Honorary Buddha of our temple," Feng Heng replied.
"Well, this is not the ti to chat, so let's get down to business."
Feng Heng nodded before releasing his peak first-level Golden Body of rit and Empyrean Realm cultivation level. In the past 10,000 Yuan Epochs, Feng Heng used his savings from the lower dinsion, the Buddhist Sect's resources, and all his rit and destiny to reach cultivation of 72% Grand Dao Source or the early stages of Empyrean. His golden body has almost reached the second level, and the next ti he receives the reward for reviving Buddhism in the lower dinsion, he should achieve a second level.
The other monks followed him, and they were also first-level Golden Body with Empyrean Realm cultivation, but they were all in the late or peak stages, similar to Wang Wei. With the addition of these three people reinforcing Sage Pure Fla, the seal's flaw was made up, thus changing the situation.
The barrier, which had previously stopped, imdiately started shrinking again, forcing Ti Eater to take drastic asures. He released all his powers to force the sealing process to stop temporarily. He gazed at Wang Wei: "I guess I should have expected such a move from you."
Ti Eater had to admit that he had lost in their first confrontation. He acknowledged it but would not admit it was because he was not as intelligent as the latter. His defeat was the result of a lack of information and circumstances. He did not know as much about Wang Wei as he thought, and he did not have the ti to plan or anticipate his opponent's next move while he was on the frontier.
Wang Wei did not pay him any mind. Instead, he focused on completing the seal. Ti Eater turned to Emperor Kong: "Are you sure you want to do this? Wang Wei has the Dao Opening Sect as a safety net in case sothing goes wrong, but you — you'll lose everything you've built so far as long as you make one wrong move."
Emperor Kong remained quiet. Ti Eater was telling the truth, but that was not enough for him to get in bed with him. The chances of making the wrong move drastically increased by being on Ti Eater's side rather than being his enemy. The situation looked hopeless, but Emperor Kong knew that his future was only guaranteed by betting on Heavenly Dao. If Supre Unity wins, he does not want to think about what future awaits him or the Academy.
'Plus, as Xu Shi said, it's always a good thing to bet on Wang Wei's side,' Emperor Kong thought as he continued his actions to complete the seal.
Ti Eater turned to Sage Lin Qi, but he did not even bother, leaving only the last group. He scrutinized the monks briefly before focusing on Sage Pure Fla.
"You have no bone in this fight, right?" Ti Eater said. "You're probably here because these people promised you so benefits. Let guess —- rit? I think I'm right. However, in the current situation, the rit system is malfunctioning, to say the least, so what's the point of working so hard for nothing?"
Just like the others, Pure Fla remained quiet. However, no one knew whether it was because he was not tempted or out of fear that if he took action, the monks behind him would annihilate him with one strike.
Ti Eater looked at Pure Fla before glancing at the others. His gaze then shifted to the outside. 'As expected, I cannot rely on these people.' He looked around, analyzing the situation.
'Is this my only option in this scenario?' He was unwilling to reveal one of his trump cards so early, but Ti Eater knew he might not have a choice.
