Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 632: Resolving the Crisis

Nonetheless, Su Yuan's assault was discernibly quicker. The longsword plunged directly into the Scavenger's core, while the Chaos True Name Power initiated its function, actively countering the Nothingness Power and causing the opponent's physical form to disintegrate!

Su Yuan could keenly observe that each unit of True Name Power possessed the capability to dismantle dozens of units of Nothingness Power. He recalled witnessing a Dominator confronting a Scavenger of equivalent rank, where more than a hundred units of attack were insufficient to erode even a single unit of the Scavenger's Nothingness body.

This disparity wasn't attributable to any mystical technique or secret art, but rather the inherent superiority in 'quality' of True Name Power over Nothingness Power. This was merely the potency of origin power from a forty-order Life-bound Chaos. Should the Chaos Origin ascend to forty-fifth order, this Scavenger would stand no chance whatsoever!

Su Yuan's Chaos True Name Great Dao, a supreme Great Dao, was meticulously synthesized from forty-nine distinct Dao Principles. Such a formidable outcome was thus entirely predictable.

The Scavenger's offensive strike impacted Su Yuan.

It was effortlessly repelled by Su Yuan.

A fleeting expression of surprise crossed the Scavenger's visage.

Then, Su Yuan's relentless assaults continued. Two to three precise sword strokes cleaved away a tenth of the Scavenger's Nothingness body.

The Scavenger's retaliatory attacks struck Su Yuan but failed to inflict even the slightest trace of damage.

"Obstinate entity, initiate termination protocol!" the Scavenger merely vocalized in a repetitive chant.

Unconcerned by its incessant muttering, Su Yuan unleashed a flurry of consecutive sword strikes, obliterating substantial portions of the Nothingness body. This forty-fifth order Scavenger was utterly annihilated, reduced to nothingness under Su Yuan's overwhelming assault.

Although this sequence of events has been extensively detailed, it transpired in mere an instant.

Whether observing the Scavenger horde or the assembled Dominators, all that was perceived was a swift blur that was Su Yuan. Where he had stood moments before, only a Will Crystal and a fragment of unique crystalline material remained, which Su Yuan promptly retrieved.

The onslaught from the Scavenger horde subsequently redirected towards Su Yuan, with innumerable Nothingness attacks converging upon him.

Su Yuan's form flickered once more, vanishing from his current position. Upon reappearing, he was already back on the battlements of the city wall.

Jia Jicheng gazed upon this spectacle with astonishment. "You... you've already dealt with that one?"

"Eliminated!"

Su Yuan responded with a calm nod. "There is another located in the western sector of the city. Stand by for a moment, and I shall address the City Lord!"

With another instantaneous displacement, he vanished from sight.

Jia Jicheng immediately hastened towards the west city's direction, but his view was met only by the disarray of the Scavenger horde within the western sector. Over two hundred thousand Scavengers, now devoid of leadership, had descended into a state of utter chaos.

Taking a profound breath, Jia Jicheng proclaimed at the top of his lungs, "The high-ranking Scavengers in both the western and eastern sectors have been neutralized! All personnel, evacuate the city and proceed to exterminate the remaining Scavengers!"

The three legions, augmented by the members of the War Regiment, promptly surged out from the city's confines, engaging the Scavenger horde in fierce combat.

Lacking any coordinated command, the Scavengers were swiftly fractured. The legion soldiers and War Regiment operatives employed a strategy of division and conquest, systematically annihilating Scavengers and rapidly accumulating Merit Points.

Following his conclusive engagement with the Scavenger in the west city, Su Yuan plunged directly into the fray where the City Lord was currently besieged by two formidable Scavengers.

Su Yuan's timely arrival immediately drew the attention of the venerable City Lord.

His eyes illuminated with a fervent spark. "Esteemed Daoist friend, render your assistance!"

"It is you!" bellowed the forty-sixth order Scavenger.

Su Yuan replied with a composed tone, "You do recall me, then!"

Upon hearing this exchange, the Old City Lord swiftly deduced the reason behind the decimation of the formidable group of high-order Scavengers from the Second Frontline, which had been reduced to a mere quartet, and consequently intensified his assault.

It was evident that Su Yuan was responsible for this outcome.

That represented an entire contingent of mid-to-high order Scavengers, with a considerable number exceeding the fortieth order, and Su Yuan had vanquished them all? What manner of cultivator was this individual?

Abruptly, the two Scavengers vanished from their positions, dissolving into the void.

"Exercise caution!" City Lord Yan Feng urgently warned.

Su Yuan's brow furrowed as he scanned his surroundings, yet he could not discern the slightest indication of their presence.

The stealth capabilities exhibited by the forty-fifth order Scavenger surpassed Su Yuan's prior estimations. Previously, he had always dispatched opponents swiftly once they revealed themselves, inadvertently overlooking the Scavengers' exceptionally potent concealment abilities.

In that critical instant, overwhelming Willpower Impacts assailed him from every conceivable direction.

Su Yuan's willpower was immediately subjected to the force of two exceptionally potent wills.

Su Yuan's eyes glazed over, and he remained suspended in mid-air, completely motionless.

Witnessing this, the Old City Lord's pupils constricted with alarm. A sudden recollection of Jia Jicheng's earlier words struck him: this formidable expert had experienced a rapid ascent from the forty-first to the forty-fifth order at the Chaos Stele. It was plausible that while his comprehension of True Intent and cultivation realm had advanced significantly, his willpower might not have kept pace. Thus, encountering the simultaneous will attacks from two Scavengers could have plunged him into unconsciousness or a state of daze.

Without hesitation, the Old City Lord propelled himself towards Su Yuan, only to find the two Scavengers reappearing and launching an assault on Su Yuan.

With no alternative, the Old City Lord felt compelled to engage the closest forty-fifth order Scavenger, aiming to alleviate some of the pressure on Su Yuan.

Concurrently, the forty-sixth order Scavenger's visage contorted into an expression of triumph as it unhesitatingly swung towards Su Yuan's Origin Core.

Whoosh!

Su Yuan's physical form was instantly bisected!

The triumphant grin on the Scavenger's face widened momentarily, then evaporated just as swiftly.

This was because the body was an illusion; the severed halves dissolved into ephemeral bubbles, vanishing without a trace.

The forty-sixth order Scavenger captain experienced an immediate realization, but by then, it was far too late.

A longsword erupted from behind the Scavenger captain, impaling its form. Chaos True Name Power surged within the Scavenger, commencing a relentless disintegration of its Nothingness body.

Furthermore, the Chaos True Name Power Su Yuan unleashed this time did not originate from his Life-bound Chaos. Instead, it emanated purely from within his own being, representing genuine forty-fifth order Chaos True Name Power, inflicting even more devastating damage.

In mere moments, the body of this Scavenger captain was utterly vaporized.

A single unit of forty-fifth order True Name Power possessed the capability to obliterate one thousand units of forty-sixth order Nothingness Power from existence!

Su Yuan expended but a fleeting instant to neutralize this formidable forty-sixth order Scavenger!

Meanwhile, the Old City Lord remained locked in a fierce engagement with the forty-fifth order Scavenger.

He managed a furtive glance toward Su Yuan's direction and observed Su Yuan standing with his hands clasped behind his back, an observer of the ongoing battle.

The Scavenger captain was nowhere to be seen.

The City Lord's instinct led him to believe the Scavenger had cloaked itself once more, maintaining his heightened state of vigilance. Even amidst his strenuous fight, he reserved thirty percent of his strength, poised to counter the potential surprise assault from the concealed Scavenger.

He was acutely aware of the insidious cunning characteristic of Scavengers; it could very well be a ruse to launch a surprise attack upon him.

At that juncture, Su Yuan's voice cut through the air. "City Lord, do you require my assistance?"

"Exercise caution. That Scavenger is not to be underestimated."

"I have already dealt with it."

"What?" For a moment, the Old City Lord failed to comprehend Su Yuan's declaration.

Seeing the City Lord's confusion, Su Yuan ceased his polite reticence. He swiftly brandished his sword, its luminous arc slicing through the void and striking the forty-fifth order Scavenger. Su Yuan's True Name Power proved exponentially more potent against adversaries of the same order; one unit could vanquish ten thousand!

With a singular sword stroke, four-fifths of the forty-fifth order Scavenger's physical form was cleaved away.

The Old City Lord delivered the finishing blow with a swift slash, utterly annihilating the Scavenger, yet he remained in a state of profound astonishment.
