Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 698: Enormous Impact!
“BOOM—!”
A terrifying self-detonation erupted instantly!
Inside [the Boundless], it turned into a sea of hellfire!
The four Nothingness Dominators were filled with shock and regret.
“Void Venerable was actually a mole! He was actually a mole!” Miao Laogang was utterly despairing!
“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Miao Chengzhong was also in agony and despair.
Jiu Han wished he could slap himself several times. He shouldn’t have come at all—this was suicide!
But it was too late for everything!
This was an explosion at the Source level. The terrifying power of destruction was enough to annihilate everything, including all avatars and incarnations connected by will—all turned to nothingness in this instant.
The four Nothingness Dominators didn’t even have a chance to resist. They were annihilated on the spot.
Even the Supreme Treasure [the Boundless] couldn’t withstand the terrifying internal explosion. The barrier shattered into countless fragments!
Ying Wenzheng moved to block the blast, deflecting the explosive aftermath, then charged into the explosion to search.
He searched everywhere, but there was nothing left. Everything in that explosion had been completely obliterated!
Including the three hundred trillion Scavenger army, including the thirty thousand Nothingness Dominators, including the four Nothingness Speakers, and including Void Venerable!
Ying Wenzheng reached out blankly, trying to grab something, but grasped only empty air.
Beside him, the incarnations of several Speakers appeared, also staring blankly at the empty void. They could see some remnants of [the Boundless], but nothing else remained.
Xie Tingfeng patted Ying Wenzheng’s shoulder and sighed. “I was wrong about Tian Mu. So he had been bearing all this! He… hid all of this from everyone, carried all that infamy, and used his own life to trap four Nothingness Dominators! He… is a hero!”
Ying Wenzheng silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed. “I wronged him!”
Xiuming said solemnly, “He is a hero of our Chaos Alliance. The warriors and artificers who died because of him can rest in peace now! You are all heroes too!”
On the city walls, countless Chaos Dominators stared blankly at this scene. In the silence, an inexplicable sorrow welled up in their hearts.
Suddenly, on a fragment of [the Boundless], a gleam of light rapidly brightened.
Everyone turned to look.
They saw that shimmer instantly transform into a gateway, and then countless rays of light flew out from within.
One beam of light landed in the void, transforming into a Chaos Dominator with a weak aura!
Countless weak Chaos Dominators appeared one after another, dazzling to behold.
Ying Wenzheng’s pupils contracted. He saw many familiar faces—those comrades, artificers, and alchemists who had been confirmed killed by Void Venerable!
Trillions upon trillions of beings had all appeared!
Though their auras were faint, they were genuinely alive!
Everyone who had supposedly been killed by Void Venerable had now appeared!
“Yu Fu?” Ying Wenzheng spotted a familiar being among them.
“Teacher?” that being exclaimed joyfully. “You came to save me? That Tian Mu captured me. He wanted to kill me, he wanted to kill me! I felt like I was already dead! I never expected to still be alive! Did you rescue me?”
Ying Wenzheng shook his head. “It wasn’t me who saved you. It was Tian Mu who saved you. He is a hero! He is the Alliance’s guardian! He is a role model for all Chaos Dominators!”
Ying Wenzheng waved his hand, converting everything that had happened since Void Venerable’s appearance into an image recording, transmitting it to the tokens of all Chaos Dominators across the Second Frontline and Third Frontline!
Countless people witnessed everything!
Dongfang Mingjing, who was still in battle, watched the recording and was deeply shaken!
“So Speaker Tian Mu bore such a heavy infamy, turning to the Nothingness Dominators, all to become a mole! In the end, he single-handedly trapped and killed four Nothingness Dominators, including the three strongest Nothingness Speaker Dominators! He is a hero! This battle will be won!”
Dongfang Mingjing was filled with respect, his face showing veneration!
Zhan Tian sighed in admiration. “What a true hero!”
Lin Feng sighed. “Brilliant tactics!”
On the city wall, a spy who had been inclined toward the Nothingness Dominators watched the images, his face ashen. “It’s over. From this moment on, no one can possibly defect to Nothingness anymore!”
If the Seventh Speaker defecting to the Nothingness Dominators had fueled the trend toward betraying the alliance and incited rebellion, then Void Venerable’s explosion had completely blocked any possibility of betrayal, treachery, or defection!
It was a direct extinguishing—no hope whatsoever!
This spy sighed and steeled his resolve. “What spy? I’m a mole! Right, I have intelligence on a small stronghold. I need to upload it to the higher-ups immediately! Tell them I’m Void Venerable’s—no, I’m Speaker Tian Mu’s undercover agent! Hurry up! If I don’t clear my name fast enough, I’ll be caught between both sides!”
What else was there to say? Time to report.
A large number of spies switched sides on the spot. Some who had committed evil deeds also requested to surrender, asking for lenient treatment. With Void Venerable’s heroic sacrifice, they might even get reduced sentences.
This news not only spread throughout the Chaos Alliance but also reached the Nothingness Dominators’ side!
For the Nothingness Dominators, this was undoubtedly a massive catastrophe!
Four Nothingness Speakers had fallen, along with thirty thousand Dominators above Rank Sixty, and the disappearance of three hundred trillion Scavengers—this loss was simply too painful!
And so, the sound of retreating gongs rang out across the entire battlefield!
All Nothingness Dominators and the Scavenger army immediately began withdrawing and retreating.
The Chaos Dominators seized the opportunity to pursue and attack from behind, resulting in another massive wave of Scavenger losses.
At this moment, morale had completely shifted. The offensive and defensive positions had reversed!
The Nothingness Dominators had lost all heart to command their armies, retreating ahead of schedule.
The Scavenger army suffered tremendous losses!
The Chaos Dominators all gained massive kill counts, earning Merit Points explosively.
Victory!
A single earth-shattering explosion had crippled the Nothingness side’s vital energy.
Those original Chaos Dominators who had fled to the Nothingness side panicked and tried to escape, but the enraged Nothingness Dominators struck them down one after another. Only a few managed to get away, but they were now homeless, forced to wander the void. They couldn’t return to the Chaos Alliance, and they couldn’t go back to the Nothingness side. All they could do was roam, waiting for the day when their execution line would come, when they’d run into someone from either side—and their fate would be sealed.
Void Venerable’s explosion was a masterstroke. Not only did it level the strategic balance from the tilted scales, but it also unified all Chaos Dominators ideologically. It was truly a heaven-shaking feat.
Inside Su Yuan’s body, endless Power of Fame surged toward him at an inconceivable speed!
The True Name Star representing Void Venerable blazed hot and bright.
Void Venerable’s residual will let out a long, resigned sigh. He seemed to have made his peace, allowing his will to dissolve into nourishment, becoming a part of Su Yuan. He accepted his defeat.
