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

Chapter 391: The Assassination Fails

The three King-level assassins had arrived at Lin Feng's secluded cultivation site.

The three exchanged a glance and instantly struck with their full power, slashing toward Lin Feng!

At this moment.

The Primordial Emperor stared intently at this place. He truly did not believe that Lin Feng, a mere Tai Chi Realm cultivator, could have any means to withstand the encirclement and killing of three King-level assassins!

But right at this moment.

A spherical mirror layer materialized out of thin air around Lin Feng!

The mirror seemed to reflect an endless starry sky, intoxicating to behold.

Among them, Emperor Three, eager to claim the merit, was a step faster. He noticed the mirror but disregarded its defensive nature. Instead, he used his true body to pass through the mirror, intending to directly finish off Lin Feng.

However, when Emperor Three passed through the mirror, his aura vanished completely!

The mirror remained standing in place, protecting Lin Feng within. Lin Feng was completely unaware of the events unfolding outside, still deeply immersed in his arduous cultivation!

"What is this?" Emperor Two revealed an expression of utter disbelief.

"Retreat!" Emperor One decisively commanded.

The two hesitated no longer, their bodies instantly fleeing billions of light-years away.

Witnessing this scene, the Primordial Emperor was also stunned. He performed a divination and discovered he could no longer deduce even the slightest trace of Emperor Three. It was as if this person had completely vanished from the world!

That was a King-level powerhouse! To die so silently and without a trace?

The Primordial Emperor felt a chill run down his spine in an instant. He had a feeling that if he himself charged into that spherical mirror, he would disappear completely, just like Emperor Three!

Who could have imagined that a Tai Chi Realm cultivator would be protected by such a mysterious mirror shield?

Just as the Emperor was reeling from the shock.

A flying sword materialized out of nowhere within the chaos!

This flying sword seemed to instantly receive the power blessing of billions upon billions of God Realm Seas, elevating it to an unimaginable level!

Su Yuan made his move from the shadows, immediately layering numerous traits onto the flying sword.

The trait 【Duty in Peril】 consumed ten thousand Kalpas of lifespan, elevating his power once again!

A King-level expert imprisoned within 【Tear of Eternity】 boosted his power another fold!

The will of 【Great Power Bearing】 erupted, elevating his willpower further and causing the flying sword he controlled to mimic Lin Feng's aura!

The power of 【Corridor of Time】 filled this single flying sword with an aura of countless years.

The power of 【World Traveler】 endowed it with astonishing speed.

In the next moment, the flying sword instantly shot out, aiming directly at the two fleeing King-level assassins!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the flying sword arrived behind Emperor Two. An astonishing pressure of will erupted from the sword, instantly freezing Emperor Two in place before slashing down towards him.

"Block it!"

Emperor Two immediately deployed all his defensive means to stop the flying sword's attack!

The long sword struck his defensive shield. Dao Principles formed a Wall of Sighs, sufficient to withstand attacks from the same realm.

However, Su Yuan's sword was enhanced with too many things;its power had been elevated to a higher level.

The flying sword effortlessly sliced through the Wall of Sighs and struck Emperor Two's true body.

The formidable body of a dignified King-level existence was cleaved apart and destroyed as easily as clay!

Countless damaging forces erupted within Emperor Two's body, grievously wounding him!

Emperor Two's resistance plummeted, and he turned to ashes under the flying sword's second attack!

Su Yuan, observing from the shadows, immediately activated the trait 【Equivalent Annihilation】!

Su Yuan paid the price of a portion of his own origin, completely annihilating everything about Emperor Two!

Emperor Two was already severely wounded, his remaining power less than a thousandth of his peak. And so, with a permanent cost of one-thousandth of his origin, Su Yuan directly equivalently annihilated Emperor Two's entire existence, thoroughly slaying him! This eliminated any possibility of the opponent's resurrection!

Simultaneously!

All resurrection methods Emperor Two had left in the world failed at once. Even a certain resurrection medium stored within the Primordial Emperor's body vanished instantly.

The terrifying extent of Equivalent Annihilation was evident!

Even within the 【Nine Purity Land】, Su Yuan extinguished Emperor Two's fantasy bubble! Since he knew of this dimension's existence, he would not allow this Emperor Two any possibility of reviving again!

During the time it took to slay Emperor Two, Emperor One seized the opportunity, escaping the God Realm Sea Cluster, fleeing the chaos, and teleporting into the void to conceal himself.

The flying sword, pretending to have lost its target, shattered on the spot, turning into nothingness and disappearing.

Everything passed like the wind.

The God Realm Sea Cluster remained as bustling and lively as usual.

Only existences at the King-level and above saw the terrifying attack that flashed through the chaos and sensed the ripple of aura following Emperor Two's death.

"A King-level expert has fallen!"

"What happened? Why did he fall?"

"Who? Which Emperor has fallen?"

"This location is at the edge of the God Realm Sea Cluster. How could someone die here? The battle was far too brief!"

Several Emperors who sensed this were utterly astounded.

They immediately began investigating which Emperor had fallen.

After a round of investigation, they found that among the seventeen Empires, no one had fallen. This meant this fallen Emperor was a hidden powerhouse, and the one capable of killing this powerhouse was another, even stronger existence.

In an instant, the rulers of the Empires felt a thick sense of unease. Their activities within the God Realm Sea Cluster immediately reduced in intensity. They themselves even dared not set foot into the God Realm Sea Cluster anymore. Without discovering the reason in a short time, they would only dispatch King-level existences to go there.

Besides the Emperors being suspicious and jumpy, the most shocked was the Primordial Emperor!

He was the mastermind behind this assassination attempt.

He saw his subordinate Emperor Three vanish inexplicably, a scene beyond his expectations. He had no time to intervene. He did detect the subsequent flying sword attack on Emperor Two and had the means to stop it, but he did not act.

Instead, he watched helplessly as Emperor Two was killed!

When he attempted to resurrect Emperor Two, he was shocked to discover that Emperor Two had completely perished, utterly erased from existence by that single sword strike!

Silence fell.

Within that flying sword, the Primordial Emperor sensed Lin Feng's aura and also an aura of countless years. Could it be that this attack came from the future? From Lin Feng's future self?

How terrifying!

If he were to make a move, wouldn't a Sovereign-level attack come for him as well?!

The Primordial Emperor sighed: "It seems we can only proceed slowly and carefully. Our previous actions were too rash!"

Legends had always been legends, but now, having witnessed it firsthand, he understood that legends truly lived up to their name.

It was simply outrageous. Three King-level assassins sent to kill a mere Tai Chi Realm cultivator, two died, and the last one only escaped with his secret assistance;otherwise, he probably would have died too!

The substantial worth of a Dao Lord continues to rise.

The Primordial Emperor took a deep breath and pondered: "That one may not necessarily rely on this God Realm Sea to break through to Dao Lord. I still have a chance. I'll wait until he leaves that God Realm Sea first."
