Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 551: Tian Yunzi Meets with Calamity
Primordial Chaos was Heavenly Fate Child’s lifebound Chaos, which he had nurtured for a very, very long time.
Its overall scale was already extremely vast. Although it was far inferior compared to the Taihao Chaos, in reality, it had expanded a million times compared to the Chaos when he had just broken through to the Chaos Dominator realm.
However, from Su Yuan’s observation, he discovered that this Chaos only seemed to be slightly stronger than his own lifebound Chaos.
Those ten billion Chaos Jades were truly useful, directly bridging the gap between him and an old-timer Chaos Dominator.
“If I can devour this Primordial Chaos, my lifebound Chaos can grow by another huge leap!”
Su Yuan’s gaze was profound. When all was said and done, Primordial Chaos was still the place where he had grown up. He also hoped he could often return to visit in the future. Since that was the case, this Heavenly Fate Child had to be dealt with.
At this moment, Heavenly Fate Child faintly sensed a trace of unease.
He examined himself, suspecting he might have left behind some regret during the previous battle.
However, with his Chaos Dominator realm cultivation, he still hadn’t discovered any problems with himself.
He frowned tightly, clearly very puzzled.
What he didn’t know was that the more he kept thinking about Su Yuan, the more Mental Echo could anchor his position, allowing Su Yuan to observe his movements at any time.
Su Yuan, standing within “Nothingness” at this time, began brewing his killing move.
He glanced at the Chaos Trait [Duty in Peril].
This trait originally had one effect: consuming lifespan to boost combat power.
However, after this trait was upgraded to a Chaos Trait, its effect changed. What it consumed was no longer lifespan, but Chaos Rest Time!
The traits had linked together.
The effect of [Duty in Peril] linked with the effect of [Balancing Work and Rest].
Su Yuan currently possessed quite a bit of Chaos Rest Time, most of which he had obtained from the Dao Venerable Elders of the Miluo Dao Court back then. Added together, it amounted to a staggering seventeen million Xi.
“Huh, it shrank?”
When Su Yuan checked again, he found the remaining Chaos Rest Time was now only one thousand seven hundred Xi.
Thinking it over, this was also reasonable.
Previously, Su Yuan was only a quasi-Dominator. The Chaos Rest Time from a Dao Venerable naturally took full effect for him.
Now that he had broken through to the Chaos Dominator realm, the level was completely different. If it became completely unusable, he wouldn’t even be surprised. Being able to get one ten-thousandth of the effect was already pretty good!
Without hesitation, Su Yuan directly consumed all of his Chaos Rest Time.
With the consumption of one thousand seven hundred Xi, his Chaos Origin immediately strengthened out of thin air. Su Yuan focused slightly and sensed that his own Chaos Origin had increased by a full seventeen times!
Simultaneously, Su Yuan activated [Great Power Bearing]. The intensity of his willpower grew by a large chunk out of thin air, increasing by a full hundred times.
Then, Su Yuan summoned his strongest Supreme Treasure, the [True Name Jade Disc]. He used the enhanced, seventeen-times-stronger Chaos True Name Power to activate this treasure and unleash his strongest killing move—Star Summit!
The True Name Jade Disc was a Chaos Dominator Artifact that Su Yuan had completely mastered. Although it was an auxiliary artifact, it was equivalent to Su Yuan’s lifebound Dominator Artifact.
He had mastered one-tenth of Chaos True Intent, and the True Name Jade Disc had similarly imprinted one-tenth of Chaos True Intent.
Using the [True Name Jade Disc] to cast techniques would unleash Chaos True Intent at twice the level of Su Yuan using his bare hands, reaching a terrifying degree of two-tenths.
“Star Summit Strike!”
Su Yuan fiercely slashed out with a sword.
His entire person merged into the sword. Using the [World Traveler] trait, he instantly traversed the Chaos Barrier and appeared right beside Heavenly Fate Child.
The Chaos Trait [Corridor of Time] activated. Time, at this moment, paused infinitely, freezing any chance for Heavenly Fate Child to react.
That earth-shattering sword slash landed squarely on Heavenly Fate Child’s body.
Boom!
In that instant, Heavenly Fate Child suffered the most terrifying, fatal blow!
This strike was one that had been accumulated for a long time, one against which there was no defense, one that was utterly sudden. He didn’t even have time to generate the consciousness to react before his will was obliterated by this strike!
“Equivalent Annihilation!”
In that same instant, Su Yuan utilized the Chaos Trait [Equivalent Annihilation]!
Su Yuan rarely used this trait, but it was extremely overbearing. It would annihilate the opponent at the equivalent cost of annihilating part of his own existence!
Su Yuan’s strike had already destroyed as much of Heavenly Fate Child’s origin as possible. Now, using Equivalent Annihilation, it wouldn’t cost much to completely eradicate Heavenly Fate Child!
Sure enough, [Equivalent Annihilation], through some inconceivable means, instantly annihilated all other forms of existence belonging to Heavenly Fate Child!
Su Yuan’s own origin was cut by one percent out of thin air, also suffering a minor injury.
But fortunately, after eradicating Heavenly Fate Child, he seized control of the Primordial Chaos.
Within the Chaos Origin Space, the origin structure, having lost the control of Heavenly Fate Child’s origin will, began to show signs of collapse.
But at this moment, Su Yuan integrated his own will into the Chaos Origin Space, replacing Heavenly Fate Child’s role.
Thus, the Chaos that had just begun to ripple became stable once again.
Apart from the master changing, no other accidents occurred.
“Tsk tsk, indeed, when you act, you must go all out, play all your trump cards, and aim for complete annihilation. That’s the true way!”
Su Yuan was extremely satisfied. “Next is to receive Heavenly Fate Child’s spoils of war!”
Su Yuan checked the treasures Heavenly Fate Child had just possessed.
He quickly found the ruler that Heavenly Fate Child had used in the previous battle.
[Item Name]: Chaos Heavenly Fate Ruler
[Item Grade]: Low-grade Chaos Dominator Artifact
[Function]: Gathers Heavenly Fate for Auspiciousness, Borrows Fortune to Achieve Heaven
This treasure had a peculiar effect. It was actually a Chaos Dominator Artifact of the Fortune Dao.
It could gather one’s own fortune, thereby forming Heavenly Fate. It also had another function: forcibly borrowing a large amount of fortune to accomplish heaven-defying acts, though one might suffer backlash.
Su Yuan faintly guessed that Heavenly Fate Child’s demise was also related to this treasure.
Theoretically, “Nothingness” contained nothing, and Heavenly Fate simply didn’t exist there. But once one entered a Chaos, they would be influenced by Chaos True Intent and naturally also by Heavenly Fate, leading to unfavorable events.
Su Yuan felt that Heavenly Fate Child shouldn’t have stayed within the Chaos to revive, recover, and heal. He should have just laid flat within “Nothingness,” gambling that he wouldn’t encounter another Chaos Dominator.
Besides the Heavenly Fate Ruler, Su Yuan also saw Heavenly Fate Child’s Great Dao compendium. Its contents were extremely detailed, making Su Yuan very happy. He could use it to gain some Chaos Dominator experience.
However, as he looked through it.
Suddenly, Su Yuan realized a problem and frowned.
The incarnation effect of the Chaos Trait [Mental Echo] had not activated!
After killing an enemy, he should obtain the opponent’s cultivation and insights. But the [Mental Echo] trait unexpectedly hadn’t taken effect, as if Heavenly Fate Child hadn’t actually perished.
