Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 569: Slaying the Heavens and Escaping
Zhan Tian continuously flickered forward, each flicker covering hundreds of light-years.
His movement method was profoundly mysterious, infinitely aligning with the fluctuations of the Thunder Dao Principle, leaving not a single trace of anomalous ripples during his travel.
Unfortunately, his realm was still too low; currently only a Four-Order Fused Dao Venerable, capable of crossing realms to seven or eight fusions, yet still far inferior to Yuanhao’s avatar.
Venerable Yuanhao’s avatar clung tightly, chasing Zhan Tian at an extremely rapid pace.
“How is Zhan Tian’s movement technique so powerful? I actually can’t lock onto his body! I can only determine his position during the intervals between his spell activations!”
Venerable Yuanhao continuously studied Zhan Tian’s movement technique, intending to decipher its profound mysteries.
However, after studying it several times, Yuanhao was shocked to discover that Zhan Tian used a new movement-type Daoist technique with every move!
After flickering hundreds of times, his opponent had used hundreds of different techniques!
This directly left Yuanhao utterly astonished.
“This guy… is too outrageous!” Venerable Yuanhao was profoundly shocked.
Zhan Tian, on the other hand, was utterly speechless about Yuanhao’s pursuit.
“Has this disciple of mine lost his mind? Why is he chasing me?”
Zhan Tian couldn’t comprehend Yuanhao’s thought process. “The only identity I’ve exposed is being a disciple of Teacher Seven Stars. This guy seems to have indeed suffered a great loss at Seven Stars’ hands, but is it really necessary for him to personally deal with Seven Stars’ disciples?”
He pondered for a moment, then began researching the next Dao Principle.
The destructive power of the four fusions was too violent; it needed some Dao Principles to neutralize it. Within the thunder region, the Life Dao Principle and the Evolution Dao Principle were present, suitable for tempering the violence, ensuring it retained softness amidst the ferocity and stabilized the form of the Dao Principles.
Thus, he simultaneously began absorbing the surrounding Life Dao Principle power and Evolution Dao Principle power.
The power of the two Dao Principles began to gather upon Zhan Tian and rapidly intensify.
Venerable Yuanhao, chasing from behind, was also startled upon seeing this. This rate of improvement looked nothing like cultivation; it seemed more like recovering one’s cultivation base.
Yuanhao suddenly realized, “That’s right, he is recovering his cultivation! He isn’t a newly ascended Four-Order Dao Venerable at all, but a high-order Dao Venerable undergoing re-cultivation. This explains the profound nature of his techniques!”
A glint flashed in Yuanhao’s eyes. This made it even more imperative to kill him.
Venerable Taihao no longer held back, beginning to unleash large-scale killing moves, freezing time and space, annihilating thunder and lightning!
Terrifying attacks exploded all around Zhan Tian.
Zhan Tian was inevitably affected. Although his exquisite movement technique allowed him to dodge ninety-nine percent of the attacks, a few still landed on him.
Layer upon layer of defensive techniques manifested on his body, successively weakening the attacks. Even after being weakened a million-fold, the attacks that finally struck Zhan Tian still caused him significant damage.
Cracks appeared within his body, making him look utterly wretched.
However, the Life Dao Principle power and Evolution Dao Principle power began continuously restoring Zhan Tian’s injuries. The Life Dao Principle power repaired his damaged body, while the Evolution Dao Principle power evolved his physique. The Dao Principle of Annihilation power grew even stronger with each instance of his body’s destruction and rebirth.
With every attack he endured, his strength increased dramatically!
Truly worthy of a former Chaos Dominator, instantly transforming encountered calamity into the optimal cultivation environment, turning danger into opportunity, transforming decay into magic!
Su Yuan, watching this scene from afar, was also filled with admiration. Zhan Tian’s (Taihao’s) performance was truly incredible. Despite a power difference of over a hundred million times, he handled it with ease.
Venerable Yuanhao blasted away hundreds of times, only to discover that Zhan Tian not only remained unharmed, but his strength had grown even greater.
His movement technique was becoming even more refined, and his defensive techniques were emerging endlessly.
This left Venerable Yuanhao utterly bewildered.
His true body and numerous avatars were rapidly converging. He had already decided to eliminate Zhan Tian with full force.
“Life Dao Principle, condense!”
“Evolution Dao Principle, condense!”
Within Zhan Tian’s Origin Space, the two Dao Principles materialized and condensed out of thin air.
Within the thunder region, the Life Dao Principle and Evolution Dao Principle simultaneously trembled, announcing Zhan Tian’s successful breakthrough.
Zhan Tian successfully advanced to become a Six-Order Dao Venerable.
Furthermore, the Dao Principle of Annihilation was rapidly fusing with the Life Dao Principle and Evolution Dao Principle.
The difficulty of fusing these two Dao Principles was immense, but for Zhan Tian, it wasn’t difficult.
While being pursued, Zhan Tian only allocated a portion of his focus and completed the process of six fusions.
Zhan Tian’s power surged dramatically, and his escape speed increased substantially.
Each flicker now covered a distance of five hundred light-years, greatly enhancing his fleeing speed.
This time, Yuanhao’s avatar could only barely keep up with Zhan Tian.
Seeing that Yuanhao was still in hot pursuit, Zhan Tian thought of a way to shake off Yuanhao’s avatar.
Sensing the various Dao Principle fluctuations within the thunder region, he faintly detected combat ripples coming from afar.
Thus, he changed direction, heading towards the source of the combat fluctuations.
Just three days later, he arrived at the location and saw several dozen Dao Venerables entangled in combat with each other.
They were all fighting over a treasure that had just manifested.
Zhan Tian instantly comprehended the entire scene, found a path leading directly to the Supreme Treasure, then flickered and appeared right in front of the treasure. He swept it up and vanished with another flicker.
The group of battling Dao Venerables immediately sensed the disappearance of the treasure’s aura. They turned to look, only to see Yuanhao’s avatar materialize in the spot where the treasure had just been, the treasure already gone.
“Leave the treasure!”
“Don’t go!”
“Focus fire on him!”
In an instant, all the Dao Venerables simultaneously attacked Venerable Yuanhao!
A barrage of attacks, along with numerous restraining techniques, trapped Yuanhao’s avatar in place.
By the time Venerable Yuanhao broke free from these attacks and restraints, he could no longer sense Zhan Tian’s location.
He had lost the trail!
Furious and humiliated, Yuanhao immediately launched attacks on the surrounding Dao Venerables.
His spear ravaged the thunder region, instantly crushing the bodies of all the Dao Venerables!
The group of Dao Venerables was horrified, hurriedly reforming their bodies and fleeing into the distance.
“Senior, spare us!”
“Great one, please forgive us!”
They fled while observing the situation behind them.
Upon seeing Venerable Yuanhao’s face, they immediately recognized his identity.
Simultaneously, many of them reviewed their memories and could confirm that the one who stole the treasure just now wasn’t Venerable Yuanhao, but another unfamiliar cultivator.
They had attacked the wrong person!
Yuanhao had no time to deal with these idiots. He immediately followed the traces, continuing his strenuous pursuit of Zhan Tian.
The several dozen Dao Venerables flew for a good while before stopping. They exchanged glances, all looking at each other in confusion.
“Who was that person just now? He could actually escape under Venerable Yuanhao’s pursuit?”
“That seemed to be the new disciple taken in by the Seven Stars Dominator. I saw relevant information before!”
“Huh? I saw news earlier that he was only a Two-Order Dao Venerable? Just now, I seemed to sense a Six-Order Dao Venerable fluctuation flash by!”
This revelation shocked everyone. They couldn’t even be bothered to recover from their injuries, each hurriedly reporting the intelligence to their respective factions to verify the authenticity of the situation.
