Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 527: The Evolution of the Little Chaos

"I am the Seven Stars, birthed from the Great Dao!"

These were the inaugural words of the most formidable Great Dao Life Form to ever manifest from the Chaos.

Su Yuan was stunned. The notion that the most robust entity within his Little Chaos would dare claim his own title left him bewildered.

A wave of displeasure washed over Su Yuan.

It was an entirely reflexive reaction.

Yet, because the Little Chaos was an extension of Su Yuan himself, the sudden emergence of his annoyance sent ripples through existence...

The heavens were instantly suffused with murderous intent!

In that singular, unfathomable heartbeat, all twelve of the original Great Dao Life Forms felt an inexplicable surge of hostility toward the Seven Stars.

The shift caught Su Yuan off guard.

Though he had originally intended to remain a mere observer of the Little Chaos's evolution, his minor interference seemed to have nudged the gears of destiny.

Without delay, the twelve Great Dao Divine Demons converged on the location of the Seven Stars Divine Demon.

Unaware, the Seven Stars Divine Demon had sat cross-legged upon declaring his origin, intent on his Cultivation.

His progress surged to the peak of the Dao Yan Realm, hovering just a breath away from the status of a Dao Venerable.

Alas, even after countless Yuan Assemblies of diligent Cultivation, that final bottleneck remained unyielding.

Then, during a session where he wielded the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword and the World-Destroying Spear, a collision between the two blades cracked a segment of Chaos. Chaotic Energy shattered, cascading into more primitive forms. Turbid Qi and Clear Qi emerged, as Dao Principles began to manifest rules, eventually birthing the essence of Law.

A fragile pocket of Heaven and Earth had sparked into existence within the void.

The Seven Stars Divine Demon studied this phenomenon, feeling a sudden, vague clarity. His breakthrough, he realized, was hidden within that sight.

However, the surrounding tides of Chaos quickly crushed the nascent realm.

Enlightenment struck the Seven Stars Divine Demon. "My Great Dao is the act of splitting the heavens! I shall prove my Dao by sundering the firmament!"

He danced through the Chaos with fervor, then began to synchronize the Heaven-Splitting Divine Sword and World-Destroying Spear with the twelve Great Dao paths etched into the Great Dao Jade Dish, striving to carve out a permanent Heaven and Earth.

He failed nine times. Yet, each attempt enlarged the scope of his creation. By the ninth failure, he had forged a expanse spanning millions of light-years.

Learning from these trials, he initiated his tenth attempt.

His movements were now flowing with mastery. A sweep of his World-Destroying Spear obliterated swathes of Chaotic Energy, while the Heaven-Splitting Sword divided the remnants into diverse energies and fragmented Dao Principles.

The Great Dao Jade Dish shimmered, casting auspicious light to anchor the framework and cultivate intricate rules.

As the world swelled in size, his comprehension of the Great Dao climbed alongside it.

Just as the Seven Stars Divine Demon found his rhythm, the twelve Great Dao Life Forms arrived from the depths of the Chaos.

The Space Divine Demon led the charge, shouting, "What are you doing, wreaking havoc upon the Chaos? Desist immediately!"

The Seven Stars Divine Demon remained icy. "This is the splitting of the heavens, the genesis of Order. The Great Dao is revealed here!"

"Absurd! The Chaos Great Dao is inherent to the Chaotic Energy itself. Stop this blasphemy!" the Space Divine Demon roared.

"Begone," the Seven Stars Divine Demon dismissed him.

He persisted in his task. Flash after flash of his blades tore through the endless Chaotic Energy.

Undermined by the sheer display of power, the Space Divine Demon hesitated, keeping his distance while the rest of the Divine Demons arrived, all casting looks of deep disapproval.

The Seven Stars Divine Demon ignored them.

Nevertheless, as the rift in the Chaos widened, the pressure from the surrounding energy grew, threatening to collapse his fragile world.

His eyes scanned the twelve Divine Demons, and a spark of ingenuity ignited. He saw a solution: by utilizing their origin cores as pillars, he could anchor a World Origin Core capable of resisting the erosion of the Chaos for eternity.

Simultaneously, the twelve Divine Demons plotted amongst themselves, agreeing to unite their strength to silence the Seven Stars Divine Demon.

The intentions of both sides aligned perfectly.

A cataclysmic battle broke out shortly thereafter.

The twelve Divine Demons launched a combined assault against the Seven Stars Divine Demon, who was still mid-task.

But their opponent had been prepared. He struck back with devastating force.

To the shock of the twelve, his strength was gargantuan. His World-Destroying Spear deflected their combined might, and his sword cleaved the Earth Divine Demon in two!

The Earth Origin Core plummeted into the center of the newborn world, forming a solid landmass that stabilized the volatile realm.

"Strike with everything! He is too strong!" the Matter Divine Demon shrieked in terror.

The remaining eleven Divine Demons abandoned caution and unleashed their full destructive potential.

The Seven Stars Divine Demon took several shallow wounds but refused to falter. He surged forward and slew the Water Divine Demon.

The Water Origin Core fell, conjuring vast oceans around the landmass, providing a buffer that significantly bolstered the world's resilience.

"Destroy him!"

Panic rippled through the remaining ten Divine Demons as they assaulted him with reckless desperation.

Though bloodied, the Seven Stars Divine Demon remained lethal. The Wind and Fire Divine Demons were struck down, their cores reinforcing the world's structure.

The conflict was harrowing.

With unmatched ferocity, he claimed the lives of the Time, Space, Matter, and Energy Divine Demons. The world’s framework was rapidly nearing completion.

Following the demise of the World Divine Demon, the newborn realm unified. Smaller worlds began to sprout, forming a stable cluster that resisted the Chaotic Energy with ease.

Before his end, the Fate Divine Demon hissed, "You may butcher us, but you are destined for your own ruin!"

The Seven Stars Divine Demon silenced him and turned to slay the Order Divine Demon.

Exhausted and severely wounded, he saw perfection dawning upon the new world. He knew his Dao was nearly proven.

The Chaos Divine Demon fled, desperate to hide within the new creation.

Yet, the Seven Stars Divine Demon caught him and slew him without mercy.

However, the death of the Chaos Divine Demon within the bounds of the new world caused his essence to shatter into chaotic ripples, threatening the stability of the foundation.

At the final moment, the Seven Stars Divine Demon dragged his broken body into the world, using his own form to prop up the heavens and earth.

The Chaos assaulted his weary, wounded form, yet he bore the agony with contempt. It was all for the sake of the work.

But a treacherous strike, cast from the future by the Time Divine Demon, caught him off guard.

The Seven Stars Divine Demon's vitality vanished instantly!

A flicker of disbelief crossed his face before his essence dissolved. His core merged with the World Origin Core, and his very being became the final ingredient needed to perfect and cement the world for all time.
