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

Chapter 415: A Kill Across Time and Space

Wang Shan Gong saw the painting from the past.

The battle between Tie He and Su Yuan shifted from an even match to a completely one-sided disadvantage in just thirty breaths.

In just thirty breaths, the techniques Su Yuan unleashed had already become profoundly mysterious and overwhelmingly powerful. With cultivation at the mid-stage of the Wuji Realm (City Lord Level), his attacks carried the might of the peak of the Wuji Realm (Near King-level).

Tie He barely managed to defend against a few moves relying on the Supreme Treasure beneath his feet, but was ultimately pierced through the heart by Su Yuan's sword. His body shattered, and the Chaos Flying Ship within him was also annihilated by this single sword strike, along with the tens of thousands of people inside it.

Wang Shan Gong watched this scene in horror, his heart filled with immense terror.

He wanted to flee, but an inexplicable force suddenly suppressed him out of thin air.

It rendered him immobile.

He saw Su Yuan, who should have been just a remnant image from a past time, actually turn his head to look at him, and then slash a sword towards him.

The moment Wang Shan Gong regained his senses, he immediately sent out everything he had seen.

The Sword Light traversed time and struck Wang Shan Gong. In that instant, Wang Shan Gong's past and future were simultaneously struck. His body melted and vanished like snowflakes.

Elder Tie Xin was in the midst of arranging troop movements when he suddenly received a transmission message from Wang Shan Gong.

He immediately opened the message.

Then he saw a scene;he too witnessed the entire process of Su Yuan slaying Tie He!

"This person is incredibly strong!" Tie Xin's expression turned grave.

He could see that this cultivator had already mastered the application of rules to a Near King-level standard. As long as his magical power could keep up, he could immediately become an existence at the Elder level. Such a cultivator must be taken seriously.

Therefore, even before finishing the recording, he backed up this piece of information into the allied forces' enemy intelligence database, instructing all cultivators to memorize it, lest they encounter the enemy without knowing his strength.

All members of his Tie Xin Army were the first to see the intelligence uploaded by Elder Tie Xin, and they naturally all began to watch it.

And at this moment, Elder Tie Xin saw the final segment of the recording.

In the scene, that cultivator suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

He was immediately startled. In an instant, he felt a certain suppressing force traversing from the end of time and space, descending out of thin air before all his Avatars and clones, simultaneously suppressing his true self, his clones, and his Avatars!

What kind of power was this?

Everything about him was suppressed by some force.

Then, he watched helplessly as the man in the scene swung a sword towards him!

The Sword Light traversed time, crossed the boundaries of time and space, pierced through the obscurity of Chaos and the obstruction of all tangible and intangible matter. The Sword Light simultaneously struck all of his bodies.

Thus, Elder Tie Xin's consciousness plunged into darkness.

His true body, along with all his other bodies, shattered into fragments, then disintegrated into the tiniest particles, ultimately turning into points of starlight that merged into the Nine Stars Land, becoming nourishment for the endless Lifebound Stars.

Dead!

Just like that, he was dead!

In the great hall of the Star Han King's city.

Elder Tie Xin's body vanished into thin air.

This scene drew the attention of many Elders. During this critical period of warfare, every Elder was required to have one Avatar stationed in the hall to promptly receive information from all aspects, facilitating discussion and analysis. This situation of disappearing without a word was truly unexpected.

The Star Han King frowned. "What happened to Elder Tie Xin?"

Elder Chang Jiu said, "Let me try to contact him!"

He attempted to make contact but found he couldn't reach him.

"Your Majesty, I cannot reach him!"

The Star Han King flexed his fingers and began to perform divination.

However, he soon frowned and said, "Tie Xin has fallen. Wasn't his true body in Tie Xin City? Has Tie Xin City fallen?"

Everyone was stunned. They looked up at the map, but Tie Xin City was still within their defensive perimeter, and the map showed no signs of danger.

An Elder spoke up, "I have subordinates in Tie Xin City. Nothing happened there just now. No one attacked the city;everything is fine!"

"What on earth is going on?"

At this moment.

In Tie Xin City.

The cultivators of the Tie Xin Army did not yet know their leader had fallen. Instead, they each split off a strand of their consciousness to view the information recording uploaded by Elder Tie Xin.

All cultivators of the Tie Xin Army were strong;splitting their focus was a basic skill. Therefore, almost everyone simultaneously began watching that recording.

Then, everyone saw the combat recording of Su Yuan defeating Tie He.

Everyone was shocked by this, astonished by Su Yuan's strength!

Finally, they all saw the moment Su Yuan turned his head.

Subsequently, all members of the Tie Xin Army, whether in Tie Xin City or fighting outside, anyone who saw this scene, instantly froze in place.

Their very thoughts seemed to solidify.

A Sword Light traversed time and space, striking their bodies, striking their Dao Fruits, striking their True Spirits.

They watched this happen, utterly helpless.

In an instant, everyone's bodies shattered and dissipated. Along with all the Supreme Treasures and storage equipment on them, everything turned into the most fundamental particles of starlight, sucked into the Nine Stars Land, becoming the most basic nourishment.

Almost in an instant, Tie Xin City was emptied!

A team of foreign soldiers responsible for escorting supplies within Tie Xin City clearly witnessed the process of the Tie Xin Army soldiers disappearing.

They watched helplessly as people walking on the streets, cultivators gazing at the stars on rooftops, or soldiers handling handover duties—all vanished into thin air at the same exact moment!

This team was terrified out of their wits. They hurriedly summoned various defensive treasures, surrounding themselves tightly. Only after several breaths, confirming they were safe, did they observe the situation within Tie Xin City.

Then they saw a ghost city!

Countless cultivators throughout the entire city had vanished without a trace!

They dared not stay any longer. Hastily stepping onto a teleportation array, they directly left Tie Xin City and immediately reported the situation that had occurred there.

The news quickly reached the great hall of the Star Han King's city.

All Elders received a shocking piece of news.

The entire Tie Xin Army had been wiped out. All cultivators, along with Elder Tie Xin, had been killed by an unknown method!

Upon receiving the news, the Star Han King's expression turned grave. "What on earth happened?"

Everyone was bewildered;they didn't know what had occurred either!

The Star Han King frowned and said, "Chang Jiu, Xing Yuan, Tie Mu, the three of you lead troops to Tie Xin City to investigate the situation. Additionally, the Intelligence Department must immediately investigate any recent problems the Tie Xin Army encountered!"

All the Elders' expressions became extremely solemn.

A Near King-level Elder vanishing into thin air, along with his entire army being simultaneously slain—this method was far too astonishing.
