Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 583: Zhou Hao's Path
Yuanhao was speeding over, and he had already seen the Spatial Domain Trap Formation!
“Excellent, that Zhan Tian is already trapped!”
Yuanhao was overjoyed and, without the slightest hesitation, charged into the Spatial Domain Trap Formation, not even having time to coordinate with the three Dao Venerable Elders.
He could hardly wait to personally slay Zhan Tian!
However, the moment he barged into the formation, he was immediately restrained by a powerful force of spatial stagnation, his body controlled from extreme motion to utter stillness!
Caught off guard, Venerable Yuanhao was also immobilized for an instant.
And at that moment, a blade radiance containing terrifying destructive power viciously slashed at Yuanhao.
The destructive power breached a layer of defense on Yuanhao’s body surface, leaving a shallow white mark on his protective treasure robe.
“True body?”
Zhan Tian showed a look of surprise, then immediately retreated at extreme speed without hesitation, fleeing the Spatial Domain Trap Formation and escaping like lightning.
Venerable Yuanhao exerted force to break free, and the Spatial Domain jointly arranged by three Fifteen-Fusion Dao Venerables was shattered by him!
His vision cleared, and he immediately locked onto Zhan Tian, who was nine thousand light-years away.
He rapidly gave chase and thrust out with his spear.
Zhan Tian’s body turned to dust under his spear.
Venerable Yuanhao’s expression darkened: “That was an Avatar. I’ve been tricked!”
By the time he thought to pursue again, it was already too late.
“Such a disguise ability… could it be some treasure at the Dominator Realm level?” Venerable Yuanhao was utterly perplexed.
He even suspected that Zhan Tian possessed a Chaos Dominator Artifact, just like the Tai’a Guiyuan Treasure Mirror he had possessed before.
Thinking of this, his heart ached faintly. His Chaos Dominator Artifact, snatched away by that Seven Stars Dominator! He didn’t know if he’d ever have a chance to reclaim it. So painful!
His hatred for the Seven Stars Dominator rose another notch, and his desire to hunt down the Dominator’s disciple grew even stronger.
“Since this Zhan Tian is difficult to kill, I can go after the others! First, trap them to lure Zhan Tian into coming to the rescue and walking right into the trap! I refuse to believe I can’t finish off this Zhan Tian!” Once this thought occurred to Venerable Yuanhao, it became unstoppable.
Without another word, he immediately locked onto the location of one of the Seven Stars disciples.
While pursuing Zhan Tian, his Avatar had also been investigating the others. Unfortunately, the others weren’t as high-profile as Zhan Tian, making them difficult to track down.
But now he had finally tracked down one person.
In a certain valley.
Zhou Hao sat cross-legged.
Within his body, drops of Chaos Blood were flowing. Each drop of Essence Blood seemed to contain a sea of blood, brimming with immense energy and violent Dao Principles.
Every inch of his flesh, bones, meridians, soul, and True Spirit was being tempered by the Chaos Blood, becoming increasingly powerful!
An aura of terrifying, ancient, and magnificent life force emanated from his entire body, spreading for thousands of light-years, stirring the soul. Even the surrounding environment became more ancient and profound the longer Zhou Hao stayed. The surrounding heavens and earth naturally condensed with blood energy.
Some ancient beasts with Divine Beast bloodlines began to be born in the surrounding area, growing by absorbing the blood energy influenced by Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao paid no mind to the changes he was producing. He was still continuously refining Chaos Jade Marrow. Drop after drop of Chaos Jade Marrow was refined by him and then integrated into his body, causing his physique to gradually approach the Chaos Dominator Realm.
Suddenly, a team of cultivators intruded into the area of heaven and earth influenced by Zhou Hao and rushed rapidly towards him.
“There must be a Supreme Treasure being nurtured here! A treasure that can influence nearly ten thousand light-years must be of an extremely high grade!”
“Haha, let’s hurry over before someone else snatches it!”
“It’s our turn to strike it rich!”
They crossed the distance of several thousand light-years with great enthusiasm, arriving at the center of the Blood Energy Heaven and Earth. There, they saw Zhou Hao sitting cross-legged, but saw no trace of any treasure.
“Kid, did you take the treasure? Hand it over!”
A middle-aged Dao Venerable stared at Zhou Hao, yet couldn’t discern his depth.
Although Zhou Hao had influenced the surrounding heaven and earth, in reality, Zhou Hao’s aura was extremely well-concealed, making it difficult for others to see his realm.
“Treasure? There isn’t any! Go back to wherever you came from,” Zhou Hao said flatly.
The group exchanged glances, and their Avatars began searching for information on Zhou Hao.
Soon, they found Zhou Hao’s information.
“He’s actually a Dominator’s disciple? A Ninth-Order Dao Venerable!”
Someone who had looked up Zhou Hao’s information showed a flicker of shock in their eyes.
The middle-aged Dao Venerable cupped his hands: “Farewell, fellow Daoist!”
They turned and left without a moment’s delay.
Zhou Hao watched their retreating figures, already sensing that they would bring him more trouble.
But Zhou Hao made no move. If someone truly came looking for trouble, all the better. His Chaos body just needed some flesh, blood, and origin to supplement its growth nourishment.
Only three years passed.
Sure enough, someone descended.
Thirty cultivators swarmed over, with that middle-aged cultivator from before clearly among them!
The group surrounded Zhou Hao, their gazes burning as they stared at him.
“Heh, he actually didn’t run! A Dominator’s True Disciple, the merit points on his token are a hundred times that of peers! We’ll gladly accept them!”
Someone chuckled darkly.
“And he’s a True Disciple of the Seven Stars Dominator at that. He must have plenty of Chaos Jade Marrow on him!”
Clearly, Zhou Hao had been targeted and was seen as an easy target.
Zhou Hao looked at the crowd with a wry smile: “So, you plan to attack me?”
“Attack!”
The thirty immediately launched their assault!
Zhou Hao sighed: “Why bother?”
Zhou Hao stood up. As he rose, his body immediately began to expand.
From a height of two meters, in the space of a breath, it soared to a size of two light-years!
A full two light-years tall, he instantly pushed aside the thirty Dao Venerables!
The strongest among them, a Fifteen-Fusion Dao Venerable, thrust out with a sword, striking Zhou Hao’s enlarged arm. The sword clashed with the arm, producing a metallic clang. The blade struck a single hair, yet was blocked by that hair.
He froze on the spot, clearly unable to believe the phenomenon he was witnessing.
Zhou Hao reached out and grabbed. His massive hand, moving with a super speed that seemed slow but was actually fast, seized a Tenth-Order Dao Venerable.
Then, the power of the Chaos Divine Beast Dao Principle activated!
This Dao Venerable didn’t even struggle for half a moment before being instantly refined!
Flesh, blood, soul, True Spirit, protective armor, Dao treasures, Origin Space, Inner World—everything, without exception, was refined and absorbed by Zhou Hao, integrated into his body!
Within his heart, three more drops of Chaos Essence Blood condensed. His soul gained three more Chaos True Souls. His True Spirit gained three more Chaos True Spirits!
His skin, flesh, and bones, tempered by the treasures, became a bit more resilient.
“Not bad!”
Zhou Hao murmured softly.
His voice rumbled like thunder, jolting the twenty-nine shocked individuals awake.
“Retreat!”
Someone shouted and immediately turned to flee.
But was it still in time to run now?
The area of nearly ten thousand light-years seemed to have become Zhou Hao’s domain. The heavens and earth moved according to Zhou Hao’s will, forming an overwhelming pressure to suppress them.
