Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Chapter 335: The Lingluo Beasts Regroup and Strike Back

Everyone's eyes lit up as they happily received the Daoist techniques.

Yan Ou had already experienced the benefits of the Multiple Doppelgangers technique before. While he had mastered some doppelganger divine abilities in the past, these abilities became practically useless once reaching the Tai Chi Level. However, Multiple Doppelgangers actually allowed him to create doppelgangers for combat even at the Tai Chi Realm, and he could create seven at once! Such an extraordinary inheritance was basically the tribe's secret, top-tier heritage that would require astronomical contribution points to exchange normally.

Now not only could he obtain nine more techniques, but he also had the chance to waive the contribution requirements - such good fortune was simply impossible to find anywhere else!

Without another word, he directly absorbed the nine spiritual lights into his body.

In the next moment, nine Divine Art Seeds appeared within his origin source. After nourishing them with Tai Chi magic power, he obtained the specific information about these nine techniques.

Big Dipper, Falling Star Strike, Absolute Defense, Daoist Techniques Naturally, Spatial Walk, Time Wander, Fate Omen, Stealth Walker, Great Devour Art

One by one, the techniques took form within his origin source. He had studied many laws - Star Rule, Spatial Law, Time Law, and other common laws - and had long reached the Hunyuan Great Luo level, allowing him to comprehend these techniques very quickly.

But within a short time, he only managed to grasp the basics of the first two techniques.

These two techniques actually complemented Multiple Doppelgangers perfectly. Multiple Doppelgangers created doppelgangers that could join forces with interconnected origin sources, forming the Big Dipper formation, then launching coordinated attacks with Falling Star Strike to deal massive damage, even enabling them to overcome stronger opponents against all odds.

What surprised him even more was how the Five Elements Rule naturally integrated into the technique's execution. This was indeed the characteristic of Primordial Limit Inheritance - it could utilize various rules through the methods of the Wuji Realm inheritance!

Su Yuan had only recently achieved this step after his super-comprehension, integrating various paths into the Star Rule. Perhaps the previous techniques couldn't truly be considered Primordial Limit Inheritance, but now these techniques were almost indistinguishable from genuine Wuji Realm inheritance.

The comprehension time was brief - what could be understood quickly was understood quickly, while what couldn't might require Yuan Assembly units of time to comprehend.

Yan Ou emerged from his comprehension state and looked ahead to see Lingluo Beasts covering the mountains and plains rapidly approaching.

"Charge!"

Jin Liuyan shouted loudly, charging toward the beast horde first.

"So brave?" Yan Ou was shocked. He thought this guy only knew how to flatter, never expecting him to be such a real man!

"Wait for me!" Yan Ou felt heroic spirit surge within him and charged toward the beast tide alongside him.

Ten thousand hunting team members followed in unison, ten thousand people advancing together, colliding with the beast tide!

In an instant, intense combat fluctuations erupted across Mount Lingluo!

Team members activated Multiple Doppelgangers one after another, instantly increasing their numbers to over seventy thousand!

It didn't look as overwhelmingly outnumbered as before - a one to two ratio wasn't an insurmountable gap.

The battle entered its most intense state right from the beginning.

Yan Ou faced a staggering thirty-three Lingluo Beasts!

Among them was one at the peak of Tai Chi Realm, four at the late Tai Chi Realm, two at the mid Tai Chi Realm, and over twenty at the early Tai Chi Realm!

"Kill!"

Yan Ou roared fiercely, his body splitting into seven.

One intercepted the small beast king at the peak of Tai Chi Realm, two blocked the four at late Tai Chi Realm, one suppressed the two at mid Tai Chi Realm, and the remaining three wreaked havoc among the early Tai Chi Realm Lingluo Beasts!

To speed up the battle, whenever Yan Ou brought a Lingluo Beast to near-death condition, he immediately activated the last of his nine techniques - Great Devour Art.

Initially, Yan Ou thought this technique would be the most difficult, but he later discovered it was actually the simplest.

It was like opening a portal that could unleash a devouring force to swallow the Lingluo Beasts.

However, the devouring force wasn't very strong, requiring him to either weaken the beasts or physically push them into the portal.

The technique description stated that behind Great Devour Art lay an endless abyss where anything thrown in would never emerge again - including Wuji Realm existences!

The description of this technique was extremely astonishing, though its truth remained unknown.

But in combat, this technique's efficiency was truly remarkable.

For the over twenty early Tai Chi Realm Lingluo Beasts, he previously needed considerable time to continuously drain their origin sources to kill them one by one. But now, as long as he could suppress them and kick them one by one into the devouring entrance, the battle would end. Although the spoils were lost, Elder Su still counted it as a kill and recorded the contribution.

This technique wasn't without benefits either - after devouring numerous Lingluo Beasts, the technique's rune would exhale and inhale pure magic power, replenishing his consumption and even increasing his magic cultivation upper limit, leaving Yan Ou utterly astonished.

Thus, when dealing with Lingluo Beasts weaker than him, Yan Ou found combat much easier than before.

Of the thirty-three Lingluo Beasts, he quickly eliminated over twenty.

The mid and late stage Lingluo Beasts were also soon sent into the Great Devour portal to disappear, leaving only the final peak Tai Chi Realm Lingluo Beast still putting up desperate resistance.

This small beast king at the peak of Tai Chi Realm had witnessed Yan Ou's combat process and was both shocked and furious, feeling intense fear toward the dark, hole-like opening Yan Ou released.

What exactly was that thing? Why couldn't tribesmen escape after being swallowed by it?

Little did it know that the so-called Great Devour Art was merely an entrance opening to the Tear of Eternity. Anything thrown into the Tear of Eternity naturally had no hope of emerging again.

The feedback magic power was also just a small portion converted by Su Yuan through the teardrop, less than one-thousandth of the total.

The intelligent Lingluo Beast small beast king began to consider retreat.

However, how could Yan Ou let it escape?

He hadn't killed a single same-realm existence yet.

Seven doppelgangers instantly formed the Big Dipper formation. With their origin sources stacked, each doppelganger simultaneously possessed the power of the other six doppelgangers, thus boosting their individual power to seven times the original!

Seven times seven equals forty-nine!

Yan Ou with the Big Dipper formation deployed now possessed forty-nine times his original combat power!

At this moment, Yan Ou activated Falling Star Strike, concentrating all power instantaneously into unity, gathering it on his blade's radiance, and fiercely slashing it onto the Lingluo Beast.

The Lingluo Beast was immediately sent flying backward!

And behind it, a dark, abyssal black opening had appeared without notice!

"Roar! (No!)" The Lingluo Beast was caught completely off guard and unable to react before being sent into the opening.

Yan Ou said regretfully, "The spoils are gone, but at least I got the contribution!"
