Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 557: Unknown Existence, Time Travel
Su Yuan was somewhat puzzled.
His avatar was searching for treasures.
Su Yuan’s true self then performed a Chaos Daoist technique to reverse time and space!
The surrounding scenery immediately began to flow backwards.
Past moments unfolded one by one before Su Yuan’s eyes.
It was as if Su Yuan was treading upon the pulse of time itself, each step spanning trillions of years, continuously probing forward.
For countless years, the surrounding scenes remained as dead, silent, and ruined as before, with nothing particularly noteworthy.
When the reversal of time and space reached a certain moment.
He finally saw something different.
He saw a complete architectural complex!
The heavens and earth were clear and bright, with no grey mist in the sky, everything looked utterly normal.
But soon, Su Yuan realized the problem. Not a single cultivator appeared within the complex, yet he could see the effects caused by cultivators.
For example, some clothes in humanoid outlines were walking automatically, some spirit plants were being harvested or fertilized out of thin air, and some spirit beasts were circling around empty air as if interacting with some entities.
Su Yuan frowned.
This tranquility did not last long. Soon, intense traces of battle appeared on the earth.
Some craters appeared out of nowhere, buildings were being destroyed, and arrays were being shattered.
Some of those floating, moving clothes shot into the sky, others were cut in half at the waist, and some evaporated into nothingness, presenting an extremely bizarre sight.
After an invisible slaughter concluded, the buildings turned ashen and decayed, and everything became the state visible today.
Su Yuan repeatedly examined the images from that segment of time and space.
There was no sound, no physical forms. It was as if those cultivators had been completely erased by something. Su Yuan simply couldn’t discern what these cultivators were even fighting against.
The Unknown!
In an instant, this term surfaced in his mind.
Su Yuan was shocked and filled with doubt.
“What in the world did the Taihao Dominator provoke?”
Su Yuan was utterly astonished.
“Did the Taihao Dominator actually perish or not?”
Su Yuan pondered for a moment. “He likely did not perish. Otherwise, how could that strand of hair still exist? This kind of erasure seems to have wiped out even the very concept of their existence.”
He shook his head, feeling this matter was far from simple.
After contemplating for a while, he rose and flew towards the center of the architectural complex. He wanted to see if he could catch a glimpse of the Taihao Dominator’s figure.
Soon, he arrived at the central area of the complex. This place was also a ruin, perhaps even more thoroughly destroyed, as not a single fragment of a building remained on the ground.
“Time and Space Reversal!”
Su Yuan once again reversed time and space.
The surrounding scenery rapidly rewound until a certain moment.
Su Yuan, however, found he could no longer reverse time and space. He stood frozen at that temporal node where the anomaly occurred, gazing at a mass of grey mist ahead, unable to proceed.
The grey mist not only filled the sky above the heavens and earth, but also shrouded the very end of time itself.
The hazy grey mist appeared extremely thin and light, yet it blocked Su Yuan’s forward progress through reversed time.
Su Yuan extended a finger and chanted:
“Star Summit!”
A Sword Light shot forth from Su Yuan’s fingertip, slashing into the grey mist.
The grey mist churned, splitting into two halves under the Sword Light, forming a passageway through the mist.
The passageway continuously extended under the Sword Light. Even after the Sword Light’s energy was exhausted, it still hadn’t reached the bottom of the grey mist.
After the Sword Light dissipated, the grey mist churned again, sealing the newly opened passageway.
“What strange grey energy is this? What exactly is it?”
Su Yuan was deeply perplexed.
He fell into deep thought.
He felt this matter was not simple. The crisis encountered by the Taihao Dominator was truly thought-provoking. It was highly likely that he, Su Yuan, might also face such a crisis. Therefore, figuring this out was extremely important.
Su Yuan hesitated no longer and activated the [True Name Jade Disc]!
Activating the Chaos Trait — [Corridor of Time]!
A profound force extended from beneath Su Yuan’s feet, forming a corridor that continuously pushed forward.
The grey mist attempted to block the power of the Corridor of Time, but the effect of the Corridor of Time trait was overwhelmingly powerful, directly pushing the grey mist aside.
Su Yuan stepped into the corridor and began walking slowly forward. Outside the corridor, the grey energy churned incessantly, trying to surge into the corridor, but it was blocked by the temporal barrier of the Corridor of Time and could not break through.
Su Yuan walked forward, continuously reversing time and space. Finally, he emerged from the grey mist, arriving at the moment of anomaly in the Taihao Chaos from countless eons ago.
Finally, he saw a figure.
The figure of the Taihao Dominator!
Su Yuan had seen many images and paintings of the Taihao Dominator and naturally recognized him.
The Taihao Dominator was actually a member of the Ancient Giant Spirit God race, his colossal body as vast as an entire God Realm Sea!
He stood towering between heaven and earth.
“What insignificant wretch dares trespass into This Sovereign’s Chaos!”
The Taihao Dominator roared furiously towards a certain point in the sky.
Su Yuan looked in the direction of his gaze. There was nothing there!
“Perish!”
The Taihao Dominator took action, throwing a punch. Within the terrifying fist imprint, dense and solid Chaos True Intent was condensed.
The instant he saw this punch, Su Yuan activated the Chaos Trait [Daoist Techniques Naturally] and the Chaos Trait [Balancing Work and Rest]!
He immediately sensed the extraordinary nature within it.
That punch astonishingly contained a full sixty percent Chaos True Intent!
This was utterly terrifying!
Su Yuan imprinted this scene firmly into his will, constantly contemplating the Daoist implications within it and integrating them into his own True Name Power.
However, before Su Yuan could comprehend even a fragment, that fist had already smashed into an empty spot!
An intense force of recoil emanated from that location. The Taihao Dominator was actually forced to stagger back several steps by the impact.
This scene not only shocked Su Yuan, but even the Taihao Dominator himself was utterly astonished. His expression turned grave as he scrutinized that empty spot.
Su Yuan also looked there, but he still couldn’t see anything or any entity.
Yet, the Taihao Dominator actually began conversing with it.
“I am a product of error? You intend to eliminate me? Hahaha, that’s utterly ridiculous!”
“This Sovereign is naturally real. You, a bewitching charlatan, die now!”
After saying these two sentences, the Taihao Dominator engaged in battle with the unknown entity once more.
This time, the Taihao Dominator’s fight was even more intense. He displayed numerous Chaos Daoist techniques, and the Chaos True Intent contained within them continuously escalated.
The Chaos True Intent even reached a level of seventy percent. This level of strength had reached an inconceivable degree. Even if part of it was achieved through means like Supreme Treasures, it was still utterly terrifying.
Su Yuan meticulously recorded every moment of this into his own River of Time, saving it for later, gradual comprehension.
This trip to the Taihao Dominator’s Life-bound Chaos was absolutely not in vain. On the contrary, it was a huge gain. The Chaos True Intent revealed in this battle alone was a treasure trove!
Although he had just broken through to the Chaos Dominator level, he had already discovered that the greatest difficulty for a Chaos Dominator was finding the path forward.
And everything displayed by the Taihao Dominator was precisely such a path.
“Immense harvest!” Su Yuan’s mood was jubilant.
