Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 746: Zang Tianguan's Desperate Decision
Previously on Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”...
Zang Tianguan's brows furrowed tightly.
He immediately felt that something was terribly wrong.
Su Yuan's two hundred-rank combat avatars, along with that eerie Bai Dicang, were all attacking Wu Tianxiang simultaneously. But Wu Tianxiang, at this moment, wasn't just defending himself—Qixin was also helping him block the assault. So, it was essentially two against three, and his situation had improved considerably.
Yet Zang Tianguan, at this very moment, had to face the combined attacks of two opponents. It was one against two, and the pressure he was bearing was far from light.
Zang Tianguan knew there was no time for hesitation. He went all out, unleashing his full power against Wu Tianxiang, hoping to kill him as quickly as possible.
But Qixin and Wu Tianxiang were already fighting with the mindset of a life-and-death battle, unleashing one hundred and twenty percent of their combat power!
For a moment, the scene was incredibly chaotic.
Wu Tianxiang could indeed feel that the intensity of Su Yuan's two avatars' attacks on him had dropped significantly—barely even thirty percent of their full strength!
Even though that heavenly corpse was still hitting him with everything it had, the pressure on him had suddenly eased by a huge margin!
The attack intensity he was facing had instantly dropped to just two point six hundred-rank combatants! Two against two point six—no pressure at all!Meanwhile, Zang Tianguan was fighting one against two, and the pressure on him was even greater than what Wu Tianxiang was experiencing!
Zang Tianguan didn't immediately detect anything wrong. Instead, he continued to attack Wu Tianxiang with all his might.
Unfortunately, without the trillion corpse puppets to help him now, his combat power had clearly dropped by ten percent.
A slight difference at the start leads to a vast divergence at the end.
Losing just ten percent meant the combat effectiveness displayed was ten times worse than before.
After only a hundred years of fighting, Zang Tianguan began to show signs of weakness.
His Zang Tian secret art could bury the heavens, bury the earth, and bury the myriad beings, but against an invincible powerhouse of the same rank, its effect was limited.
Zang Tianguan realized that his Primal Source Power had been depleted by about fifty percent, yet looking at Wu Tianxiang's condition, he seemed to still be maintaining seventy percent.
This made Zang Tianguan realize something was wrong.
"Seven Stars, why aren't you going all out? Are you trying to reap the benefits without doing the work? If you don't give it your all, I'll leave right now and wash my hands of this cooperation!" Zang Tianguan shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Su Yuan smiled and said, "Daoist friend Zang Tianguan, it might be because I've only just reached the hundred-rank realm and I'm not familiar with this level of combat, so my performance has been a bit lacking. But I feel much better now—rest assured!"
Zang Tianguan breathed a sigh of relief.
Good. Seven Stars could finally go all out.
And sure enough, the moment Su Yuan unleashed his full strength, the pressure on Wu Tianxiang and Qixin shot up dramatically!
The pressure on Zang Tianguan also lessened considerably, and his Primal Source Power even began to show signs of recovery.
At that very instant, when Zang Tianguan's body and mind relaxed...
Su Yuan turned his coat.
Both of his avatars spun around simultaneously and attacked Zang Tianguan.
In that split second, four hundred-rank combat powers all struck at Zang Tianguan at once!
Zang Tianguan's expression was one of sheer horror. He immediately tried to retreat and dodge.
But, without him even realizing it, his position had become trapped in a terribly awkward spot. Dao marks blocked his path from the left, right, top, bottom, and rear. He had no chance to escape!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying attacks that could have covered billions of Chaos beings kept thundering in Zang Tianguan's area!
Four hundred-rank combat powers simultaneously launched a lethal assault on Zang Tianguan, leaving him utterly helpless to resist. His entire body was blown apart, transforming into a vast Nothingness universe!
The interior of the Nothingness universe was boundless, filled with countless living beings. Zang Tianguan's will manifested, yet it appeared as an ocean of light composed of countless Heavenly Dao will orbs.
Countless attacks rained down into the Nothingness universe, turning into various perfected secret techniques that obliterated orb after orb of will.
Endless living beings also fell without any resistance under the onslaught of the hundred-rank powerhouses!
Zang Tianguan panicked, frantically trying every means to save himself.
He desperately begged the three of them for mercy, especially Wu Tianxiang and Qixin, pleading with them to spare his life!
"Stop! Stop! Think about it—if you kill me, will things really go well for you? Seven Stars can take the lion's share of the rewards, and all that's left for you two is just the scraps!"
"If I live, I can give you far greater benefits! Let me tell you the truth—that Bai Dicang heavenly corpse isn't under my control anymore! Something's gone wrong with that corpse! I suspect Seven Stars is behind it! There must be some unspeakable secret buried in that Seven Stars Dominator's cultivation path!"
"Let go now! Don't let Seven Stars fool you! That guy is vicious! He's the puppet master behind the scenes! He designed all of this!"
Zang Tianguan frantically sent messages to Qixin and Wu Tianxiang, even pouring out his current situation and suspicions, telling them just how dire things really were.
But Wu Tianxiang just sneered, "Hah, if your heavenly corpse had really lost control, why didn't you tell me immediately? Do you think I'd turn on you and harm you? If you had helped me back then and coordinated with Qixin, things never would have come to this! You were always planning to kill me, weren't you?"
Zang Tianguan bitterly regretted it. He knew he had been greedy. In the face of opportunity, his mind had been thrown into chaos!
In the other main halls, they had not only obtained the medicinal pill for achieving enlightenment but also learned a lot of information. Among it was the fact that the Void Emperor Hall contained a treasure capable of controlling the entire hall—even the entire Nothingness universe. Naturally, their eyes had burned with desire.
In truth, everyone knew that once the golden Dao mark was broken, a fierce battle for control would inevitably erupt. They were all just pretending to be oblivious.
That was why he had made his move. But now, he was stuck in an impossible position.
Qixin sneered even more coldly, "I was allied with Seven Stars from the very start, and I still am! You're a fickle and capricious creature. You've been scheming to refine me into a heavenly corpse all along. Did you think I didn't know?"
Zang Tianguan's heart grew heavy. He felt, truly felt, that he was about to fall.
He refused to accept it. He refused to die like this, to let someone else take the opportunity. In that moment, a mad idea flashed through Zang Tianguan's mind!
Right then!
The entire ruins were exactly a sealed-off area. If he self-destructed here, no one would escape!
Since he couldn't live on, no one else was going to have a good time either!
In that instant, Zang Tianguan activated his self-destruction divine ability!
Countless Primal Source Powers all condensed into a single point in that split second!
"Damn it! He's going to self-destruct!" Qixin's expression was filled with terror, and he immediately retreated!
"Is he an idiot? If you're killed, you still have a chance to revive. But self-destruction means the annihilation of your will, eternal sinking into damnation!" Wu Tianxiang's face also contorted as he quickly fled.
As he turned around, he was stunned to find that Su Yuan and that heavenly corpse had disappeared without a trace! They had fled too fast!
The moment Zang Tianguan had the thought of self-destructing, Su Yuan had already pulled back and teleported away. The ruins could prevent others from teleporting out, but it couldn't stop Su Yuan.
Not to mention, he was the heir of these ruins!
Boom!
The brilliant self-destruction exploded in that instant! A violent storm of will raged uncontrollably, spreading wildly in every direction.
