Primordial God Of Time

"This disciple only requires a beast or demon control manual…"

As soon as Amira's voice faded, the 'immortal' seemed to ponder for a moment before speaking, "A manual for controlling beasts and demons? What kind of demon do you hope to control? Let me hand you a more specific manual."

"It is a beast that looks like a tiny worm but can control the body of a big worm. It also has all these worms that it can use to control other people," Amira began describing the Worm Demon.

"Oh? That should be the Void Tentacled Demon. I didn't expect such a rare creature to actually be on this planet; you are truly lucky," Kranos, the 'immortal,' responded in surprise.

He then continued, "There are two ways to control the Void Tentacled Beast. One of which is by cultivating a certain technique. Although this would take long to master since it is another immortal technique…" Saying so, Kranos took out the basic scroll he had previously written on.

"The second method is using a Gu worm restricting pill. When the beast is at its weakest, just feed this pill to it while infusing slight traces of mana into its body." Kranos then glanced at the sky as though he was reading the stars, "Young cultivator, you are quite lucky. It seems the Void Tentacled Demon will be at its weakest a month and two weeks from now," Kranos then gave the specific date which he was leaving this world.

"After that day, it will take another hundred years before the Void Tentacled Demon experiences a period of weakness." At this moment, Kranos glanced forward and said in a deep tone, "Young man, since you have been watching our exchange for quite a while, why don't you come and introduce yourself?" Although Kranos didn't know precisely where Ko was, he could roughly guess that he had followed Ming all the way.

But Ko didn't respond. Kranos immediately snorted, "Young man, since you are unwilling, I will have no choice but to pass on this cultivation technique and pill to this young man." As Kranos finished speaking, a pill appeared in his hand. It was an extremely potent poison pill but emitted a medicinal aroma.

Ko could no longer hide himself. From the fact that Ko had betrayed his friends, Ming and Ju, to join the Worm Demon, Kranos had already guessed that Ko was a very ambitious person. He had slowly lured him into a trap, and now everything was about to be completed.

Seeing Ko materialize, Amira immediately gasped in shock, as though she didn't know she was being followed. "Si—sir!" she managed to stutter. Ko only glanced at her coldly. He finally understood why the cultivator before him kept his identity a secret and why the cultivator was secretive the past week: to think there was actually a chance encounter with an immortal.

But Ko didn't fully trust the words of the immortal. He decided to be cautious. However, just looking at the cultivation manual and medicinal pill that seemed to revitalize his aging body, his eyes immediately burned with greed. At this moment, rather than being the Worm Demon's subordinate, he wanted the Worm Demon to be his subordinate.

Just as Kranos guessed, Ko was a very ambitious person. He had always wanted to be at the top; he never liked being beneath others. However, his talent was restricted. If I gain a powerful subordinate like the Worm Demon, my strength will soar, and no one can stop me anymore! Just the thought of it made his blood boil.

"An immortal, huh?" Ko sneered in disdain. However, the next moment his expression changed drastically. He could feel his lifespan had reduced drastically. He was immediately horrified. The immortal didn't even move, and he felt like he had lost 50 years of lifespan! He immediately trembled and begged, "Spare—please spare me!"

Although it seemed like Kranos didn't move, he had indeed moved. By rapidly using space shift and pausing time, while slashing at the old man with the time sword, Kranos managed to create the effect that he didn't move at all.

Seemingly putting on the demeanor, Kranos didn't bother Ko. Rather, he turned to the two of them and asked, "Which of you will take the treasures?" Immediately after Kranos finished asking, Ko turned and glared fiercely at Amira.

"H—he will take the treasures…" Amira said with a trembling voice. Kranos nodded and then tossed the two treasures at Ko, who immediately became overjoyed. He then turned to Ko, "I don't want to discover that you killed a fellow cultivator to silence him. If not… hmph!" Although Kranos merely snorted, Ko could still remember how he lost more than fifty years of lifespan without the cultivator doing anything. He immediately decided inwardly that he would only threaten Amira without hurting her in the slightest bit.

After advising him, he sighed and muttered under his breath, just loud enough for a cultivator at the Golden Core realm like Ko to hear, "It's time to head back to the immortal realm…" As soon as his voice faded, Kranos paused time and teleported away. The authentic version is on M|V|LEMPY_R.

Amira and Ko, who were just about to ask the immortal for a favor, were immediately stunned. Ko, despite being in the Golden Core realm, couldn't fathom how Kranos disappeared! He shivered at the thought inwardly. He could imagine all the mystical secret techniques someone of that level must have. That is the level I want to reach!

He glanced at Amira and with a thunderous snort, he spoke, "Hmph! I don't want to hear anything about today from your mouth!" After speaking, Ko turned and with a light stamp of his foot, he vanished into thin air, heading to begin comprehending the cultivation technique. He also recalled the time Kranos mentioned, when the Void Tentacled Demon would be at its weakest. He had to find a way to forcefully feed the demon the pill!

…

Meanwhile, a few meters away, a figure clad in black appeared. His silver eyes gleamed brighter than even under the purple moonlight. Mission accomplished. Now, it's to wait for the day I ascend to the immortal world and take action, Kranos muttered to himself as he walked back to the tree where he stayed, sat down, and continued cultivating.
