Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 576: The First Dominator-Level Underling

"Who did this! Who the hell did this!"

Fury blazed through Jin Zhengen!

His divine sense scanned the whole Chaos in one sweep, yet no sign of any suspicious intruder appeared.

By turning back time and space, he witnessed hordes of cultivators storming into the Dao Palace before vanishing completely.

Though their vanishing act remained invisible, he knew without doubt that Master Empty Void had kidnapped every one of his followers!

He burst from the Chaos, positioning himself in "Nothingness" and scanning everywhere, but still no hint of anyone showed up.

A deep sense of frustration and injustice choked Jin Zhengen!

"Damn it, is it possible some foe of mine has tracked me down?"

For a brief instant, Jin Zhengen plunged into existential doubt.

Yet Su Yuan ignored Jin Zhengen entirely now; the man was merely a fleeting figure.

His attention shifted fully to Li Chun.

Li Chun stood at the brink of his ultimate breakthrough.

Positioned beyond the Heavenly Fate Chaos, Su Yuan devoured Chaos Jade straightaway to speed up time across the entire Chaos.

He burned with curiosity over whether Li Chun could actually ascend to Chaos Dominator.

Thanks to the time acceleration, Su Yuan quickly learned the outcome without much delay.

Li Chun devoted three hundred more Kalpas to meditation, burning through two million Chaos Jades while refining his pre-breakthrough condition to flawless perfection.

Then, with firm resolve, he advanced to the last stage.

Driving his Little Chaos forward, he shattered the Chaos's protective shell and plunged straight into "Nothingness."

Right away, "Nothingness"'s corrosive force assaulted him, squeezing the Little Chaos relentlessly!

Li Chun promptly burned his leftover Chaos Jade, flooding the Little Chaos with vast Chaos Origin.

At the same time, Li Chun fused his Origin Space into the Little Chaos's Chaos Origin, merging them seamlessly.

Following that, Li Chun activated the Little Chaos's Great Dao framework for its ultimate evolution, elevating it to Chaos Great Dao status!

The initial assault from "Nothingness" devoured a full one-tenth of the Little Chaos's domain in a flash.

The crisis appeared dire.

However, as Li Chun's Origin Space integrated with the Little Chaos's origin space—sparking the Chaos Great Dao's birth, bolstering the Chaos Barrier, and erecting the Great Dao system—the defense against "Nothingness" surged dramatically.

The Little Chaos endured three additional barrages, dwindling to just one-third its prior extent, before finally holding steady.

The enormous Chaos Origin from the Chaos Jade fueled swift regrowth of the Little Chaos's borders, restoring its original scale and pushing further outward.

Expansion halted only after ballooning to one million times its starting volume.

Li Chun had triumphed in his breakthrough!

Li Chun dubbed his Chaos the Cangmu Chaos.

Visible now, the Cangmu Chaos stretched out a conduit linking to the Heavenly Fate Chaos. With each draw of chaotic energy from "Nothingness," a tenth flowed over to the Heavenly Fate Chaos.

The Heavenly Fate Chaos passed this tenth tribute along to Su Yuan's Life-bound Chaos.

Su Yuan kept his Life-bound Chaos hidden; the Heavenly Fate Chaos acted as the perfect middleman.

Li Chun emerged from the Cangmu Chaos and spotted Su Yuan amid the Nothingness.

Overjoyed, he approached with a deep, respectful salute. "My lord, your aid made this possible! Henceforth, I pledge my loyalty and will heed your every order."

A faint smile crossed Su Yuan's face as he replied, "For the moment, concentrate on building up your Chaos. I'll seek you out later when I require your service!"

"Yes, sir!" Li Chun answered with utmost respect.

Su Yuan then reviewed the Fame Points notifications tied to Li Chun.

On the True Name Jade Disc, a flood of Fame Points alerts had indeed popped up.

With every Xi that ticked by, the Cangmu Chaos delivered one hundred million Chaos Fame Points!

Su Yuan double-checked, ensuring no mistake—one hundred million Chaos Fame Points per cycle. Each breath of the Cangmu Chaos triggered a payout. This was outrageously powerful!

His hunch proved spot-on. Cultivating a Chaos Dominator yielded massive rewards!

From here, he could relax and watch Chaos Jade pour in endlessly.

"Hmm, you can also steer the beings within my Chaos, helping them advance their cultivation. Li Shanchang shows huge promise; offer him extra tutelage."

Su Yuan instructed with a grin.

"Understood!"

Only then did Li Chun realize that beyond the Cangmu Chaos existed two more Chaoses. The Heavenly Fate Chaos was one, while the far larger other one belonged unmistakably to Su Yuan. Gazing through the Chaos Barrier, he spotted Li Shanchang alongside every cultivator from the Dao Palace. Shock flashed across his face; he never imagined Li Shanchang would drag the entire Dao Palace along.

Su Yuan spoke indifferently, "Go handle your affairs!"

Su Yuan settled onto the small stool shaped by the Heavenly Fate Ruler and resumed his fishing.

"I'll remain at your side, ready for your orders. An Incarnation can manage things inside the Chaos."

"That's fine too!" Su Yuan nodded offhandedly.

So, Li Chun positioned himself next to Su Yuan, watching his actions with keen curiosity.

Maybe fortune had finally smiled upon them.

Movement stirred Su Yuan's fishing hook once more.

Ripples spread across the surface of the Myriad Transformation Fish Pond's waters.

Suddenly, Su Yuan caught sight of a fresh Chaos. The vision showed hordes of cultivators clashing fiercely, with innumerable strikes hurtling chaotically over the battlefield. Right then, one of Su Yuan's hooks plunged straight into the heart of the fray.

In that split second, every battling cultivator froze, staring at the hook in stunned bewilderment.

Finding nothing amiss, they resumed their brutal combat.

Li Chun cried out in astonishment, "These folks' cultivation isn't feeble at all! Most are Dao Venerables, with some reaching the quasi-Dominator stage!"

Su Yuan gave a nod. He too had observed the formidable strength of the fighters on both sides!

By shifting the fishing hook, Su Yuan revealed views from farther off. Battles raged in the distance too, fierce beyond measure.

Swiveling the perspective, Su Yuan abruptly spotted two Chaos Dominators locked in combat far away!

They appeared to have intentionally restrained their might, confining attack ripples to a limited area, mimicking a quasi-Dominator clash. Yet Su Yuan discerned those were pure Chaos Dominator techniques.

At the core of their fierce contest, a strand of drifting source energy wandered erratically.

"What's that?" Li Chun questioned in shock.

Su Yuan examined it closely, invoking the Power of True Names to reveal its true designation.

[Chaos Origin]: Holds a thread of genuine Source Qi.

Eyeing the concise explanation, a hint of uncertainty crossed Su Yuan's gaze.

This strand of Qi struck him as extraordinary, though its exact power would only reveal itself upon capture!

Fishing it up directly under two Chaos Dominators' watchful eyes with a mere hook was, needless to say, out of the question.

"I didn't think I'd assign you a mission this quickly," Su Yuan remarked to Li Chun.

Li Chun stood dumbfounded. It was happening way too soon. Fresh from his breakthrough to Chaos Dominator, he felt utterly unready.
