Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 740: Slaughtering Everything to Forge the Foundation

Blood-Slay instinctively took it.

“You’re just giving this to me?” Blood-Slay said in surprise.

“Of course. I can’t let you have all the benefit for nothing. If you figure anything out, you have to give me an equal share of your insights. We’ll need to draw up a contract!” Bai Dicang stated.

Blood-Slay shook his head. “This is just a crystal. You offer a single item and expect to get my research insights in return? Isn’t that a bit too easy?”

“This is a treasure I obtained by chance. If you don’t want it, give it back!” Bai Dicang shot back.

“Hahaha, fine, I agree!” Blood-Slay laughed heartily as he stowed the crystal away.

Bai Dicang nodded, then signed a contract with Blood-Slay.

After that, Bai Dicang took his leave.

Once Bai Dicang was escorted out, Blood-Slay retrieved the Seven Stars Origin Crystal to study it.

Blood-Slay headed to his secluded cultivation chamber, taking out the Seven Stars Origin Crystal for research.

When he tried to refine the Seven Stars Primal Source, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it absorbed into him with ease!

He successfully cultivated to the first stage of the Seven Stars Dominator realm.

“What a treasure!” Blood-Slay exclaimed in astonishment. “And Bai Dicang gave me something like this to study? He must have gotten his hands on a lot. He’s using me as a test subject!”

Blood-Slay was highly sensitive to danger, but he could sense that this enhancement carried no downsides for him. Without hesitation, he continued refining the Seven Stars Origin Crystal.

As he refined it, his Seven Stars Dominator realm steadily improved.

Meanwhile, the Seven Stars Origin Crystal gradually shrank, slowly revealing a chaos hidden deep within it.

At a certain moment while Blood-Slay was immersed in his cultivation.

He suddenly sensed a flicker of danger. He tried to pull himself out of his cultivation state, but it was too late!

At some point, he had already drawn the Seven Stars Origin Crystal into his body to refine it. The attack came from within the crystal itself—a figure stepped out from within it and delivered a fatal, all-or-nothing strike from the inside out!

Bai Dicang had been brewing this attack for a long time. The power of this killing blow directly reached the 99th rank.

Catching his opponent off-guard through careful calculation, Blood-Slay, who was at the 97th rank, simply couldn’t withstand it!

In a single strike, Blood-Slay was utterly killed, with no chance to turn the tables.

Blood-Slay, who had spent his entire life assassinating others, ended his own life by being assassinated.

Of course, Blood-Slay likely had many means of resurrection, but under the plunder of the Seven Stars Fundamental Great Dao, his cultivation would inevitably be stripped away entirely. Who knew how long it would take him to cultivate back to his former strength!

Bai Dicang felt a mysterious transformation in his Seven Stars body. His realm had clearly advanced further, reaching the 99th rank!

His realm had broken through!

Bai Dicang charged out of Blood-Slay’s secluded cultivation chamber, then began a massive slaughter within the Blood-Slay Pavilion. Hundreds of millions of the Blood-Slay Pavilion’s high-ranking members and even ordinary members.

Under Bai Dicang’s bloody massacre, they were all annihilated in an instant!

His 99th-rank Seven Stars Dominator realm became even more stable, while his 98th-rank Nothingness Dominator realm was also not far from breaking through to 99th rank.

Next, he returned to Sifang City, slaughtering countless living beings within the city.

Then, he went back to his own territory at Hollow Heart Temple, killing countless Nothingness Dominators and Chaos Dominators all over again!

The entire process was swift and decisive!

Bai Dicang no longer cared if he was discovered!

In the end, his Nothingness Dominator realm had risen to 99th rank!

Both realms had reached 99th rank!

At the front lines of the Chaos Alliance.

A scout hurried back to the military camp.

“Reporting! General! A major development has occurred. The Heaven-Destroying Alliance’s camp is completely empty! It’s unclear what happened!”

A general immediately asked, “Is there an ambush?”

“None detected!”

The general gave a decisive order. “Dispatch the vanguard forces. Launch an attack on the Heaven-Destroying Alliance’s city!”

“Yes, sir!” A vanguard general immediately stepped forward.

He left the main camp, leading a hundred-thousand-strong vanguard army to issue a challenge!

However, no one in the Heaven-Destroying Alliance responded.

So the vanguard general gave a very straightforward order for a full assault!

A hundred thousand men charged into one of the Heaven-Destroying Alliance’s major camps, only to find it completely empty. No one was defending it—it was as if everyone had fled!

Under the hundred-thousand-strong force’s sweep, they uncovered quite a few treasures and military supplies, but the enemy was nowhere to be found.

This scene wasn’t just happening in this one camp.

The same situation played out in all the major camps along the front lines.

The Chaos Alliance immediately began seizing territory, occupying the Heaven-Destroying Alliance’s lands.

Within the Heaven-Destroying Alliance’s territory, many ordinary Dominators had no idea what was happening before they were wiped out by the Chaos Alliance’s army!

Territory after territory was captured, the situation presenting a one-sided trend.

The Heaven-Destroying Alliance’s power was collapsing at an alarming rate!

Wu Tianxiang walked out of his secluded cultivation chamber. His will swept across the entire outpost, and everything he saw was utter silence. Not a single cultivator remained.

This scene was identical to the time he had killed his own subordinates, except this time, it wasn’t him who had done it.

Zang Tianguan also came out, looked around, and clicked his tongue in amazement. “Haha, someone actually imitated you and me and pulled a genocide. How interesting!”

“Who did it?” Wu Tianxiang asked with a frown.

Zang Tianguan performed a divination and said, “That Bai Dicang. He used to be one of my disciples. I kicked him out of the sect later on. I never thought he’d repay me like this!”

Wu Tianxiang was surprised. “You sure did take care of him. You kicked him out of the sect.”

“Mm, I really did think highly of him. He’s already at the 99th rank now, just one step away from our level! He slaughtered the hundreds of millions of Dominators in the three top-tier forces and countless other factions. Ruthless enough. Spicy enough.”

Zang Tianguan even let out a laugh at this moment.

Wu Tianxiang suddenly said, “His Dao name shouldn’t be Bai Dicang—it should be Hei Dizang! Can we track him down?”

“Too late. He’s already on the Chaos Alliance’s turf,” Zang Tianguan replied.

“Hm?” Wu Tianxiang was stunned. “Does he think hiding in the Chaos Alliance will keep him alive? Or does he plan to defect to the Chaos Alliance? With his identity, there’s no way he can stay in the Chaos Alliance!”

Zang Tianguan also looked puzzled. “That’s true. What is he up to?”

Meanwhile.

Having infiltrated the Chaos Alliance, Bai Dicang casually found a place to cultivate in seclusion.

Then he began his plan!

At this point, after killing a massive number of Dominators, he was at the 99th rank in both realms, only one step away from the hundredth rank.

And now, he decided to attempt a breakthrough!

He would abandon his 99th-rank Nothingness Dominator cultivation, using Nothingness to nourish the Seven Stars!

Letting the Seven Stars Primal Source break through its shackles, rising to the hundredth rank!

This was a massive gamble!

If he won, everyone would be happy. If he lost, he’d just switch identities and pledge allegiance to the Seven Stars Dominator.
