Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 558: The Supreme Ruler!

The battle was still raging.

The figure of the Taihao Dominator darted rapidly between heaven and earth, locked in fierce combat with another unknown existence.

Finally, the two beings directly fought their way out of the world and plunged into the Nothingness.

At this point, Su Yuan could no longer watch, because there was no Time and Space within Nothingness, making it impossible to reverse time and space to observe.

When Su Yuan lowered his head again, he unexpectedly discovered a young man standing before him. It was the Taihao Dominator, only at this moment, the young man was merely a little over two meters tall.

“Fellow Daoist, save me!”

The Taihao Dominator approached and immediately dropped to one knee, his face full of expectation as he spoke.

Su Yuan stood frozen in place.

Seeing Su Yuan’s lack of reaction, the Taihao Dominator now dropped to both knees and hugged Su Yuan.

“Save me! I’m finished! Quick, save me!” The Taihao Dominator’s tone was extremely sincere.

The corner of Su Yuan’s mouth twitched. “I’m just a newly promoted Chaos Dominator. Save you? How? And why should I save you!”

The Taihao Dominator immediately said, “Fellow Daoist, you were able to break through that thing’s blockade and arrive here. Your methods are absolutely astonishing. You definitely have a way to save my life! If you are willing to save me, I will give you all my treasures!”

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “What exactly is that thing?”

The Taihao Dominator shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know either. Not long ago, I was in seclusion within the Chaos when suddenly an existence appeared, saying I had exceeded the true limit, it was a program error, and my existence needed to be erased!”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “It was as if the place I lived was actually an illusory existence, but my essence had surpassed the boundary of illusion and was about to break through illusion to achieve reality. Thus, a power from reality came to preemptively erase my existence!”

Su Yuan listened, his brow deeply furrowed. “This talk of reality and illusion is utterly unbelievable. Will is the true reflection of one’s own existence. It doesn’t need the judgment or approval of outsiders!”

“Fellow Daoist speaks truly! I think so too!” The Taihao Dominator’s tone shifted. “However, the opponent’s strength is indeed formidable, and extremely bizarre. I estimate I can’t hold out much longer. Now, I can only rely on you, Fellow Daoist! I’m counting on you to help me!”

Su Yuan began to ponder.

This matter seemed extremely abrupt. Who knew if the Taihao Dominator was being deceitful? He looked out towards the Chaos.

“Theoretically, there is no concept of time within Nothingness. Although I have arrived here by reversing time and space, and indeed countless years have passed in this Chaos, Nothingness still possesses an independent temporal state. Therefore, your true body should currently be in a superimposed temporal state of either having perished or not yet perished!”

The Taihao Dominator nodded. “Theoretically, I will indeed be defeated soon, but that is within Nothingness. Precisely because of that, this avatar of mine can still survive, still waiting at the end of the past for the arrival of hope! Is Fellow Daoist worried that existence will consequently set its sights on you?”

“Naturally!” Su Yuan nodded.

The Taihao Dominator shook his head. “That thing is a bit rigid and single-minded. You are not a being of my Chaos. You won’t attract even a sliver of its attention. Even if you stood right in front of it, it wouldn’t pay you any heed. There’s no need to worry at all about it attacking you! There’s no risk in saving me!”

Su Yuan curled his lip. You’re almost dead. Who dares believe the words of someone on the verge of death!

The Taihao Dominator then said, “Fellow Daoist, you can directly take away my Chaos and make it your own! I have already hidden my Chaos Origin Space. I can open it to you now, letting you occupy it as you wish. Among it are three Chaos Dominator Artifacts I don’t commonly use, as well as a vast sea of Dao Yan Crystals and Chaos Jade Marrow. They are all yours! Fellow Daoist carries the aura of my Tai’a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror. I believe you must be interested in these Dao Yan Crystals!”

He opened a mirror. On the other side of the mirror was a deep Chaos Origin Space, within which countless mountains of piled-up Dao Yan Crystals fell into Su Yuan’s view.

“All these years, aside from my Life-bound Chaos, a portion of the Taihao Chaos’s output has been taken by my Life-bound Chaos. I’ve hidden it all within the Chaos Origin Space. This is all your reward!”

The Taihao Dominator’s tone was extremely sincere.

Looking at that vast sea of Dao Yan Crystals, Su Yuan was also shocked. Their quantity was at least ten thousand times greater than the resources he obtained before his breakthrough!

Not to mention, there were a full three Chaos Dominator Artifacts, along with a vast sea of inheritance texts and records, including the Taihao Dominator’s own breakthrough insights and experiences.

Such an immense treasure trove was now presented before Su Yuan’s eyes.

Su Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply. Why did this feel like an illusion, designed to confuse his mind, to make him lose himself in all of this?

He scanned his surroundings suspiciously, sensing the fluctuations of Time and Space.

“Fellow Daoist couldn’t possibly think this is an illusion or hallucination, could you?” The Taihao Dominator said, looking torn between laughter and tears. “I am an eternal, deathless existence. Treasures aren’t very important to me. Life and death, however, are the most important matters. I’ve lived for too long, so long that I myself feel bored and weary. But if I were truly to march towards death, I truly am unwilling!”

Su Yuan gave him a deep look and asked, “Tell me more about that thing. How did you provoke it? If you can’t explain clearly, I won’t save you.”

The Taihao Dominator sighed. “Before, I was just a bit curious. Was this Nothingness truly nothing? Did it truly have no boundary? So I kept exploring the Nothingness, kept digging for its edge. I never imagined I would actually touch that faint sensation akin to illusion. I seemed to have truly found a world beyond Nothingness. This was the result later!”

Hearing this, Su Yuan fell into thought.

Assuming the Taihao Dominator’s words were true, then this so-called “Nothingness” truly had hidden secrets.

He found this matter too incredible. With his realm as a Chaos Dominator, he fundamentally did not believe he was an illusory character. He was himself, his will eternal, deathless and indestructible!

Su Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, “I can try to save you, but whether I can succeed, I cannot guarantee.”

“Excellent!”

The Taihao Dominator said excitedly, “I believe you can do it!”

He placed that mirror in Su Yuan’s hand.

“This is the key to the Chaos Origin Space! You can retrieve the treasures within it yourself later!”

Su Yuan nodded, intercepting this image of a mirror from the past timeline and leaving it within the Corridor of Time.

Subsequently, Su Yuan extracted the other’s past temporal body, integrating it into the Suiyue story within [Tempering Heart in Mortal Dust].

The Taihao Dominator did not resist, allowing himself to be refined by Su Yuan into a character within a story, allowing all his power and even perception to completely vanish.

After completing all this, Su Yuan took one more look at the empty scene of the past timeline, then retreated backwards. The Corridor of Time, like a train, traversed the gray mist, returning once more to the normal flow of time.
