Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 551: Tian Yunzi Meets with Calamity
Previously on Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”...
Primordial Chaos served as Heavenly Fate Child's lifebound Chaos, something he had nurtured over an incredibly long period.
The sheer scale of it had grown tremendously vast. While it paled far in comparison to the Taihao Chaos, it had actually ballooned a million times larger than when he first advanced to the Chaos Dominator realm.
Yet, through Su Yuan's careful observation, this Chaos appeared merely a bit more powerful than his own lifebound Chaos.
Those ten billion Chaos Jades proved immensely valuable, instantly closing the divide between him and a veteran Chaos Dominator.
"If I can devour this Primordial Chaos, my lifebound Chaos can grow by another huge leap!"
Su Yuan's eyes held deep intensity. After everything, Primordial Chaos remained the home where he was raised. He wished to return frequently in the times ahead. Therefore, Heavenly Fate Child needed to be eliminated.
Right then, Heavenly Fate Child felt a faint twinge of discomfort.
He inspected his condition, wondering if some flaw lingered from the earlier fight.
Despite his Chaos Dominator realm cultivation, no issues surfaced upon his check.
He furrowed his brows deeply, evidently baffled.What remained unknown to him was how his repeated thoughts of Su Yuan strengthened the Mental Echo's lock on his location, letting Su Yuan monitor him whenever desired.
Positioned inside "Nothingness" for the moment, Su Yuan started preparing his ultimate attack.
He looked over the Chaos Trait [Duty in Peril].
This trait's original power involved burning lifespan to amplify battle strength.
But upon evolving into a Chaos Trait, its consumption shifted—no longer lifespan, but Chaos Rest Time!
The traits interconnected seamlessly.
[Duty in Peril]'s power now fused with [Balancing Work and Rest].
Su Yuan held a substantial reserve of Chaos Rest Time, largely gained from the Miluo Dao Court's Dao Venerable Elders previously. In total, it reached an astonishing seventeen million Xi.
"Huh, it shrank?"
Upon rechecking, Su Yuan saw his Chaos Rest Time had dropped to just one thousand seven hundred Xi.
Reflecting on it, this made perfect sense.
Back when Su Yuan was merely a quasi-Dominator, Chaos Rest Time from a Dao Venerable worked at full potency for him.
Having now ascended to Chaos Dominator realm, the disparity in levels was vast. If it lost all utility, he wouldn't be shocked. Retaining even one ten-thousandth of its prior effect was already impressive!
Without delay, Su Yuan burned through every bit of his Chaos Rest Time.
As the one thousand seven hundred Xi vanished, his Chaos Origin surged stronger from nowhere. With a brief focus, Su Yuan perceived his Chaos Origin had multiplied fully seventeenfold!
At the same time, Su Yuan triggered [Great Power Bearing]. His willpower's potency exploded upward abruptly, surging a complete hundred times higher.
Next, Su Yuan called forth his mightiest Supreme Treasure, the [True Name Jade Disc]. Channeling the bolstered, seventeen-times greater Chaos True Name Power, he activated this artifact to release his deadliest assault—Star Summit!
The True Name Jade Disc counted as a Chaos Dominator Artifact fully under Su Yuan's command. Though auxiliary in nature, it rivaled his personal lifebound Dominator Artifact.
He commanded one-tenth of Chaos True Intent, and the True Name Jade Disc bore the same one-tenth imprint of Chaos True Intent.
Employing the [True Name Jade Disc] for spells unleashed Chaos True Intent at double Su Yuan's manual capacity, hitting a horrifying two-tenths level.
"Star Summit Strike!"
Su Yuan unleashed a ferocious sword slash.
His form blended wholly into the blade. Leveraging the [World Traveler] trait, he pierced the Chaos Barrier in a flash, materializing directly next to Heavenly Fate Child.
The Chaos Trait [Corridor of Time] sprang to life. Time halted endlessly right then, denying Heavenly Fate Child any opportunity to respond.
That devastating sword strike crashed directly onto Heavenly Fate Child's form.
Boom!
In that split second, Heavenly Fate Child endured the most horrifying, deadly assault!
This blow, long prepared, offered zero defense, struck with total surprise. Not even a flicker of reaction arose before his will shattered under the impact!
"Equivalent Annihilation!"
In the identical instant, Su Yuan invoked the Chaos Trait [Equivalent Annihilation]!
Su Yuan seldom deployed this trait, yet its dominance was unmatched. It erased the foe at the price of sacrificing a portion of his own being!
Su Yuan's attack had already ravaged Heavenly Fate Child's origin to the utmost. With Equivalent Annihilation now, finishing him off demanded minimal cost!
As anticipated, [Equivalent Annihilation] employed some unfathomable method to wipe out every trace of Heavenly Fate Child's existence!
Su Yuan's origin suffered a sudden one percent loss, incurring a light wound.
Yet, after dispatching Heavenly Fate Child, he claimed dominion over the Primordial Chaos.
Inside the Chaos Origin Space, the origin framework, bereft of Heavenly Fate Child's controlling origin will, started displaying collapse tendencies.
But precisely then, Su Yuan infused his will into the Chaos Origin Space, assuming Heavenly Fate Child's former position.
Thus, the Chaos, which had just begun wavering, steadied anew.
Save for the change in master, nothing else went awry.
"Tsk tsk, indeed, when you strike, go all-in, deploy every hidden card, and seek total obliteration. That's the real path!"
Su Yuan felt utmost satisfaction. "Now, time to claim Heavenly Fate Child's spoils of war!"
Su Yuan scanned the treasures lately held by Heavenly Fate Child.
He swiftly located the ruler wielded by Heavenly Fate Child in the prior clash.
[Item Name]: Chaos Heavenly Fate Ruler
[Item Grade]: Low-grade Chaos Dominator Artifact
[Function]: Gathers Heavenly Fate for Auspiciousness, Borrows Fortune to Achieve Heaven
This treasure boasted a unique power. It ranked as a Fortune Dao Chaos Dominator Artifact.
It amassed one's personal fortune to forge Heavenly Fate. It offered another ability: compellingly drawing vast fortune to perform heaven-defying feats, albeit risking severe backlash.
Su Yuan vaguely surmised Heavenly Fate Child's downfall tied to this item.
In theory, "Nothingness" held utter void, bereft of Heavenly Fate. But entering any Chaos exposed one to Chaos True Intent's sway, naturally including Heavenly Fate, inviting dire mishaps.
Su Yuan believed Heavenly Fate Child erred by lingering inside the Chaos for revival, recovery, and mending. He ought to have stayed inert in "Nothingness," betting against meeting another Chaos Dominator.
Beyond the Heavenly Fate Ruler, Su Yuan spotted Heavenly Fate Child's Great Dao compendium. Its exhaustive details thrilled Su Yuan greatly. He could draw Chaos Dominator insights from it.
Yet, while perusing it.
Abruptly, Su Yuan noticed an issue and knit his brows.
The incarnation effect from the Chaos Trait [Mental Echo] failed to trigger!
Slaying a foe should grant the enemy's cultivation and insights. Yet [Mental Echo] refused to activate, as though Heavenly Fate Child hadn't truly died.
