Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 510: Huo Linzi's Tyrannical Actions

"Hmph, what exactly are you implying? This land was seized by our Miluo Dao Court through our own efforts. We refuse to surrender it!"

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable responded swiftly.

Huo Linzi arched his brow. "So, you really trust in your Dao Court's might? You have the audacity to halt the progress of my Wuliang Dao Court!"

The Wuliang Dao Court stood as a mighty entity, boasting the Eighteenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable Wudaizi, and it commanded more than tenfold the Dao Venerables compared to the Miluo Dao Court!

In addition, apart from that single Eighteenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable, the Wuliang Dao Court possessed multiple Seventeenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerables. Its power was immense, vastly outstripping the Miluo Dao Court's.

With so many Dao Venerables under its banner, the Wuliang Dao Court required additional independent space-time domains. Thus, their arrival at the Miluo Dao Court's gates wasn't entirely unexpected.

"Fellow Daoist Huo Linzi, you must comprehend that this is my Miluo Dao Court's domain. It isn't part of the Wuliang Dao Court!"

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable fixed his intense stare on Huo Linzi, his expression solemn.

Huo Linzi displayed a mocking grin. "Looks like you fail to grasp the vast gap in power between our Dao Courts! Very well, then I shall demonstrate it to you directly!"

Vast, heaven-blocking flames erupted in a flash, engulfing the expanse of three Chaos Kingdoms and overtaking over half the frontier zone.

These horrifying flames, resembling an apocalyptic onslaught, surged straight at the fortifications.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable's eyes narrowed sharply. He hurriedly shielded himself, as his protective spirit forms rushed back to encircle him, forming a shielding veil.

The blaze shattered the wall's protections in an instant, utterly demolishing a complete set of one hundred border layers all at once.

The inferno breached into the Miluo Dao Court's lands. Cultivators from the Dao Court stationed close to the barriers were reduced to cinders in vast numbers.

The flames brushed against the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable's form.

His spirit barrier cried out in torment first. Spirit after spirit vanished into strands of emerald mist amid agonized howls.

The spirit bodies collected by the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable throughout his existence were largely eradicated in just seconds!

Merely two spirit bodies, advanced to Eleventh-Order Fusion Dao Venerable status, continued to resist faintly.

Upon identifying Huo Linzi, he had promptly dispatched pleas for support to every Dao Venerable in the city, explicitly urging Su Yuan to arrive and confront this formidable foe.

He dispatched an urgent call to the Miluo Dao Court's central base too, yet aid from the organization obviously wouldn't make it soon enough.

Yet now, the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable got shocking replies from the fellow Dao Venerables.

Dao Venerable Ji Ning and Dao Venerable Niro reported facing assaults from mighty adversaries as well. Apparently, troops from the Blood Moon Dao Court and True Knowledge Dao Court, probably following Huo Linzi's orders, were hitting the Miluo Dao Court's frontiers at the same time. They were swamped and couldn't break free!

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable bellowed. Drawing on the Soul-Constraining Dao Principle's might, he desperately sought to bind the blaze, striving to convert it into his personal spirits.

But the fire seemed boundless. Its scorching intensity promptly ignited the Soul-Constraining Dao Principle itself.

Enveloped by the blaze, the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable could hardly safeguard his own being.

He stood no chance against the fire's rampage.

The fortifications crumbled swiftly. Any walls attempting self-repair vanished right away, failing to reform whatsoever.

Outpost by outpost, positioned among the celestial bodies, dissolved into void beneath the searing blaze!

Miluo Dao Court followers faced ruthless butchery, their ends dreadfully tragic.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable shot a rage-filled glare at Huo Linzi. "Do you not fear that our Miluo Dao Lord will strike and wipe you out?"

"The Miluo Dao Lord?" Huo Linzi replied calmly. "Should she show up, my Wuliang Dao Court has supreme masters ready to handle her. You seek to summon your patron, yet mine outmatches yours!"

Huo Linzi's voice carried total indifference.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable's spirit plummeted into despair.

Right then, he noted the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign's absence. In truth, he comprehended the reason. Against Huo Linzi's fearsome prowess rivaling a Fifteenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable, an additional Eleventh-Order one stepping forward would merely court death.

Rage boiled within the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable. The seven Chaos Kingdom areas they'd recently claimed were likely to be seized by force by the Wuliang Dao Court now, with the Dao Court enduring severe casualties.

"You're fretting over the Miluo Dao Court's damages? Better concern yourself with your fate!" Huo Linzi "helpfully" warned him.

"What?"

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable at once noticed the nearby space-time had been locked down forcefully. An oppressive energy hampered his actions!

He cried out in dread, "You... you plan to end me? You aim to shatter all facades with my Miluo Dao Court?"

"Tch, merely the Miluo Dao Court!"

Huo Linzi spoke outright, showing utter contempt for the Miluo Dao Court.

Prior to this, he had gone to the Blood Moon Dao Court and True Knowledge Dao Court, securing two Chaos Kingdom domains and one and a half Chaos Kingdom domains in turn.

Those Dao Courts acted wisely and refrained from opposition. Yet the Miluo Dao Court's defiance here stirred Huo Linzi's scorn. Ignorance of their predicament demanded a harsh teaching, to show all the steep toll of challenging the Wuliang Dao Court!

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable beheld powerlessly as his two cherished spirit bodies met destruction. The sheer devastation wrenched his heart, leaving him scarcely able to remain upright!

The dreadful blaze kept pressing into his frame, scorching his corporeal shell, and even his Dao Principle Origin Essence!

Regardless of his tactics, he was relentlessly driven back by the inferno. It appeared his demise under Huo Linzi's blaze loomed near.

While Huo Linzi savored the dazzling pyrotechnics erupting from the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable, an abrupt shift unfolded.

A blade of sword radiance, like splitting the cosmos asunder, streaked from afar.

The sword radiance swelled swiftly, ballooning to the immense size of a Chaos Kingdom momentarily. Along its path, the flames were outright quenched by its keen border.

Everywhere the sword radiance traversed, the blaze died out effortlessly!

This sight caused Huo Linzi's eyes to shrink abruptly.

He quickly turned toward the sword radiance's origin.

There appeared a youthful cultivator, treading the sword radiance, hurtling in at a velocity that looked leisurely yet struck with blinding swiftness.

"Who are you?!" Huo Linzi bellowed.

"Hah, your executioner!"

Su Yuan called forth the freshly forged Seven Stars Sword. The blade shot forth immediately, dividing into nine parts, then established the Big Dipper Formation!

Without delay, Su Yuan claimed ninety percent dominion over the adjacent space-time!

Infinite sword radiance burst forth across the Big Dipper's domain.

Every thread of sword radiance was dousing clusters of fire!

Beneath the piercing, savage sword radiance, the horrifying flames spanning three Chaos Kingdoms were gradually snuffed out by Su Yuan one after another!

Huo Linzi warily withdrew scores of light-years, his brows knit as he scrutinized the Big Dipper Formation.

He perceived the array's potency as extraordinarily elevated. It merged countless Dao Principles, capable of erupting with force multiplied dozens of times. Crucially, the soaring sword at the array's core evoked an uncanny sensation in him, one of utter, impeccable perfection.
