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

Chapter 418: Dread of the Emperor-Level Experts!

"Father, save me!"

Voidless Heavenly Emperor realized his situation was critical. In his panic, he activated all his life-preserving methods, including calling for help from his Great Emperor father—the Void Great Emperor who had just ascended to become the Wuji Great Emperor.

The life-preserving methods on Voidless Heavenly Emperor's body failed one after another, even including a near-Emperor-level defensive supreme treasure.

At this moment, Voidless Heavenly Emperor truly felt the arrival of death!

This kind of death was something he hadn't tasted for countless years. He had already become eternal, and his state of mind had long reached the point of facing death directly.

But only at this moment did he realize that the fear of death was still corroding his heart. He couldn't resist this fear!

"Stop!"

A shout rang out from nowhere.

A blade light slashed over from an unknown, incredibly distant place!

Before Voidless Heavenly Emperor could be completely erased, it struck that sword light!

The sword light's power was only at the Imperial-level. Under the full-force strike of a Great Emperor, the sword light ultimately couldn't withstand its own Dao Principle structure and completely shattered, disappearing.

The sword light was gone.

But the wounds on Voidless Heavenly Emperor's body didn't disappear.

Voidless Heavenly Emperor felt that a large portion of his essence had been severed.

His cultivation had shockingly been erased by more than half, falling from the Imperial-level realm to the King-level realm!

This was impossible!

His realm had been genuinely achieved step by step through his own efforts, yet it could actually be erased by someone!

His strength wasn't even one ten-thousandth of what it was at the beginning!

Void Great Emperor appeared out of thin air before Voidless Heavenly Emperor. He glanced at Voidless Heavenly Emperor, then looked at that image.

The image had already finished playing and had completely vanished without a trace.

Even Void Great Emperor couldn't trace back to the source of that attack.

Void Great Emperor turned back to look at Voidless Heavenly Emperor, his eyes full of reproach. "Come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Void Great Emperor took Voidless Heavenly Emperor and directly disappeared.

All of this happened in an instant.

Inside the grand hall.

Originally, everyone was still marveling at Ring King's fall, then they noticed the aura from above had disappeared.

They blinked, cautiously looked up, and discovered Voidless Heavenly Emperor had already vanished.

They all looked toward a black shadow beside Voidless Heavenly Emperor's seat.

That black shadow was also stunned, immediately trying to contact Voidless Heavenly Emperor, but only received a reply to handle things himself.

The black shadow said, "Heavenly Emperor has entered seclusion. You all continue with your own affairs!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking the Heavenly Emperor had also fallen.

Inside the imperial palace of the Void Empire's capital.

Voidless Heavenly Emperor was still sensing his own power. After discovering his cultivation had indeed fallen, he looked somewhat anxiously at Void Great Emperor. "Father, can my cultivation be restored?"

Void Great Emperor shook his head. "All the Dao Principles you left in the world have had traces above the Imperial-level erased. It's equivalent to you never having cultivated them. How can there be talk of restoration?"

Voidless Heavenly Emperor was a bit dumbfounded. "How is this possible?"

"Why wouldn't it be possible?" Void Great Emperor shook his head. "The waters of this world are much deeper than you imagine! When I broke through to Great Emperor, I had a premonition that I had only stepped onto the highest staircase, but I'm merely standing at the very end of the steps."

Voidless Heavenly Emperor fell silent.

Void Great Emperor pointed in the direction of the chaos. "That God Realm Sea is extremely miraculous, actually obtaining the characteristic of infinite ascension. This kind of God Realm Sea isn't just something you want to obtain. For Great Emperors, it's also a very important thing. But did you see, apart from you, have the other three old empires taken action?"

Voidless Heavenly Emperor was stunned. "They haven't?"

"No!" Void Great Emperor said calmly. "I deduced that a certain force of Primordial Emperor has acted, the specific actions unknown, but that God Realm Sea still exists perfectly fine there."

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Voidless Heavenly Emperor's back.

So it seemed, he had indeed thought too shallowly.

"I was also doing it for Father's grand feast..."

"No, you were blinded in heart and mind by an unknown force. Though I don't know what force it was, you were indeed blinded!"

"This..." Voidless Heavenly Emperor was astonished.

Void Great Emperor suddenly added, "Since you arranged for the allied army to attack that God Realm Sea, then continue attacking. But you don't need to personally intervene anymore. Let those allied forces carry out the attacks."

"Yes!"

Voidless Heavenly Emperor felt doubt arise in his heart again. Since they knew that God Realm Sea had problems, why continue to take action?

Void Great Emperor said calmly, "Since we've already obtained the Seven Stars God Realm Sea, there's no need to offend another party!"

Another party?

Voidless Heavenly Emperor immediately understood. His father was referring to that existence that had blinded his mind.

In a daze, he realized he had become a chess piece, and one that must continue moving on the chessboard.

...

Somewhere in the Chaotic Sea.

Su Yuan was comprehending Dao Principle power.

At this moment, he sensed something and turned to look outside the room.

"Su Yuan (Abyss) requests an audience!"

"Enter!"

Su Yuan (Abyss) soon brought Ye Fan inside.

At this time, Ye Fan's cultivation had shockingly already reached the Wuji Realm!

"Oh? You broke through?" Su Yuan said calmly.

Ye Fan bowed. "Greetings, Master. I have successfully broken through to Wuji!"

"Hmm, in that case, you are my first true disciple!"

Su Yuan said with a smile, "Wait for a moment. I will give you all a sermon."

Ye Fan showed joy and said, "Yes!"

The corner of Su Yuan (Abyss)'s mouth lifted as he looked outside the room.

After a while.

A voice came.

"Su Qian requests an audience!"

"Enter!"

Su Qian then brought Zhou Hao inside.

At this time, Zhou Hao's cultivation had shockingly also reached the Wuji Realm.

Zhou Hao's eyes were somewhat dazed, as if he hadn't yet processed his current, rapidly advanced realm.

When he saw Su Yuan, Zhou Hao couldn't help but recall his previous experiences.

Su Qian had taken him to a place with an extremely fast time flow rate. There, he experienced countless life-and-death battles. Killing enemies allowed him to obtain treasures to enhance his cultivation. His strength was like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, leaping hundreds of millions of miles in a single bound!

From Human Immortal to Earth Immortal took only one year. Earth Immortal to Heavenly Immortal took three years. After that, it wasn't long—merely several hundred years—before he reached the Golden Immortal realm. Then, after another few thousand years, he broke through to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Subsequently, over tens of thousands of years, he directly proved the Dao of Hunyuan, becoming a legendary sage.

After spending several million more years, he proved the Dao of Taiji.

Then, after dozens of Yuan Assemblies, he cultivated all the way to the Wuji Realm!

The time acceleration was too fast, making his spirit somewhat dazed. Only upon seeing Su Yuan did he awaken from that dreamlike, rapid ascension.

"You lost!" Su Yuan (Abyss) said to Su Qian.

Su Qian said helplessly, "This kid's brain isn't sharp enough. It took a bit more time!"

Zhou Hao's mouth twitched. His brain wasn't good?

"Alright, all of you sit properly. I will give you a sermon!"

Before Su Yuan, Su Li and Little Cai appeared out of thin air, just in time to catch the sermon.

Before Su Yuan, there were exactly six people, each sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.
