Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 557: Unknown Existence, Time Travel

Su Yuan felt a touch of bewilderment.

His avatar kept hunting for treasures.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan's main body unleashed a Chaos Daoist technique, inverting time and space!

The nearby landscape swiftly started rewinding.

Scenes from the past played out sequentially in front of Su Yuan's gaze.

It felt like Su Yuan strode along the rhythm of time, every stride covering billions of years, steadily advancing in his probe.

Across endless ages, the vistas around stayed desolate, hushed, and dilapidated just like earlier, with nothing special catching the eye.

Until the time-space reversal hit a particular instant.

He finally spotted something unusual.

He beheld an intact cluster of structures!

The skies and lands shone clear and vibrant, free of any gray fog overhead, making everything seem perfectly ordinary.

Yet Su Yuan quickly noticed the issue. No cultivators showed up in the structures, but signs of their activities were everywhere.

For instance, garments shaped like human forms moved on their own, spirit plants got picked or nourished from nowhere, and spirit beasts orbited vacant spaces as though engaging with invisible beings.

Su Yuan knitted his brows.

This peace didn't endure. Before long, fierce battle marks scarred the ground.

Craters burst into existence suddenly, edifices crumbled apart, and formations shattered to pieces.

Some of those drifting garments soared skyward, others got sliced midway at the torso, and a few vanished into vapor, creating a profoundly eerie spectacle.

Once the unseen massacre wrapped up, the structures grayed and crumbled, reverting to the current ruined state.

Su Yuan scrutinized those time-space visions over and over.

No voices echoed, no bodies appeared. Those cultivators seemed utterly obliterated by some force. Su Yuan couldn't make out what they battled at all.

The Unknown!

This phrase flashed through his thoughts instantly.

Su Yuan felt stunned and full of questions.

"What on earth did the Taihao Dominator provoke?"

Su Yuan stood completely astounded.

"Did the Taihao Dominator truly perish or not?"

Su Yuan mulled it over briefly. "He probably didn't die. If he had, how would that strand of hair persist? This erasure looks like it wiped away their existence entirely."

He shook his head, sensing the complexity of this affair.

After some reflection, he stood up and soared toward the heart of the structure cluster. He aimed to spot if the Taihao Dominator's form appeared.

Quickly, he reached the core zone of the complex. This spot lay in even greater devastation, a total ruin with no building remnants left on the surface.

"Time and Space Reversal!"

Su Yuan inverted time and space anew.

The ambient views rushed backward until a specific juncture.

But Su Yuan discovered he couldn't push the reversal further. He halted at that anomalous time point, staring at a swirling gray mist in front, blocked from advancing.

The gray mist blanketed not just the firmament above the world but the terminus of time too.

This faint, ethereal gray mist halted Su Yuan's delve into reversed time despite its slim appearance.

Su Yuan pointed a finger and incanted:

"Star Summit!"

A streak of Sword Light erupted from Su Yuan's fingertip, cleaving into the gray mist.

The mist roiled, parting under the Sword Light into two sections, carving out a path through it.

The path stretched onward with the Sword Light's might. Even as the Sword Light's power faded, it hadn't pierced the mist's depths.

Once the Sword Light vanished, the gray mist surged back, closing off the fresh passage.

"What bizarre gray power is this? Exactly what lurks within?"

Su Yuan grappled with profound confusion.

He sank into contemplation.

This issue struck him as far from straightforward. The peril facing the Taihao Dominator demanded deep thought. Su Yuan himself might confront a similar threat, making unraveling it vital.

Su Yuan wasted no more time and triggered the [True Name Jade Disc]!

Invoking the Chaos Trait — [Corridor of Time]!

A mysterious energy unfurled from under Su Yuan's soles, crafting a corridor that thrust ahead relentlessly.

The gray mist tried to impede the Corridor of Time's force, yet the trait's dominance shoved the mist away effortlessly.

Su Yuan entered the corridor and advanced step by step. Beyond its walls, the gray energy boiled furiously, straining to invade, but the time barrier held firm against it.

Su Yuan pressed on, perpetually inverting time and space. At last, he broke free of the gray mist, reaching the anomalous event in the Taihao Chaos from immemorial epochs past.

There, he finally glimpsed a silhouette.

The silhouette of the Taihao Dominator!

Su Yuan knew the Taihao Dominator from countless depictions and portraits, recognizing him instantly.

The Taihao Dominator belonged to the Ancient Giant Spirit God race, his immense frame spanning a whole God Realm Sea!

He loomed massively betwixt heaven and earth.

"What puny fool dares invade This Sovereign's Chaos!"

The Taihao Dominator bellowed wrathfully at a spot in the heavens.

Su Yuan peered where he glared. Nothing occupied that space!

"Perish!"

The Taihao Dominator struck out, hurling a fist packed with thick, unyielding Chaos True Intent.

The moment Su Yuan witnessed this strike, he invoked the Chaos Trait [Daoist Techniques Naturally] and the Chaos Trait [Balancing Work and Rest]!

He instantly grasped its exceptional quality.

That fist shockingly held a complete sixty percent Chaos True Intent!

Terror gripped him at this revelation!

Su Yuan etched this moment deep into his mind, endlessly pondering its Daoist essence and weaving it into his True Name Power.

Yet before Su Yuan absorbed even a sliver, the fist collided with void!

A ferocious rebound force exploded from there. The Taihao Dominator reeled back multiple paces from the clash.

This sight stunned Su Yuan and left the Taihao Dominator himself in disbelief. His face hardened as he examined that blank area.

Su Yuan stared too, yet perceived no form or presence.

Still, the Taihao Dominator spoke to it.

"I am a product of error? You intend to eliminate me? Hahaha, that's utterly ridiculous!"

"This Sovereign is naturally real. You, a bewitching charlatan, die now!"

With those words, the Taihao Dominator clashed anew with the unseen foe.

This bout raged fiercer. He unleashed a barrage of Chaos Daoist techniques, with Chaos True Intent surging higher within them.

The Chaos True Intent peaked at seventy percent. Such power bordered on the unimaginable. Even aided by Supreme Treasures, it remained horrifyingly potent.

Su Yuan captured every instant into his River of Time, storing it for future, incremental mastery.

This venture into the Taihao Dominator's Life-bound Chaos proved immensely rewarding, far from futile. The battle's unveiled Chaos True Intent alone formed an invaluable hoard!

Though freshly ascended to Chaos Dominator, Su Yuan already knew the paramount challenge lay in charting the next steps.

The Taihao Dominator's displays charted exactly that course.

"Immense harvest!" Su Yuan brimmed with elation.
