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

Chapter 545: Defeating Yuanhao

"Vanished?!"

Venerable Yuanhao, Che Chi Old Man, Wuyazi, and the Stone Dominator—all four of them were stunned.

Among them, Venerable Yuanhao was the most shocked. That treasure was placed there by him, so he naturally knew its properties. That treasure was connected to the earth; moving it even an inch was extremely difficult. How could it have been taken away in an instant?

"Fortunately, I had already roughly refined that treasure."

Venerable Yuanhao felt relieved and immediately tried to sense the treasure's location, intending to retrieve it remotely.

However, something that stunned Venerable Yuanhao happened again: he actually couldn't establish a connection with that treasure anymore.

In just an instant, he had already lost all trace of that treasure!

He couldn't believe this scene; he was almost going crazy!

The other three Chaos Dominator Incarnations didn't have any particular feeling. They didn't know the details of the treasure, so they were actually quite appreciative of Su Yuan snatching it away.

"The Chaos World Dao you've been comprehending seems extremely close to perfection. It looks like I should congratulate you in advance!" Wuyazi also praised.

The Stone Dominator laughed, "Interesting!"

Su Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow daoists, for yielding. This treasure is fated with me, so I'll presumptuously take it. My thanks to everyone!"

His smile was gentle, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"I need to go back and refine the treasure now, so I'll take my leave for the moment. Another day, I'll discuss the Dao with you all again!"

Su Yuan gave a polite salute, looking as if he was preparing to leave.

Che Chi Old Man and the other two casually waved their hands, indicating Su Yuan could do as he pleased.

However, at this moment, Venerable Yuanhao stepped forward and blocked Su Yuan's path.

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Does Fellow Daoist Yuanhao still have any advice?"

Venerable Yuanhao's gaze turned gloomy, "Where did you put that treasure?"

Su Yuan shrugged, "That's not something Fellow Daoist needs to worry about!"

Venerable Yuanhao took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, this treasure is extremely important to me. Could you please, with great pain, part with it? Name any price you want!"

Che Chi Old Man and the other two revealed expressions of great interest, curiously watching from the sidelines.

Su Yuan chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Yuanhao, I'm truly sorry. This treasure is just too suitable for me; I really cannot part with it. So, please forgive me!"

Venerable Yuanhao's face completely darkened, "So, you mean you absolutely do not wish to give it up no matter what?"

"Exactly so!"

Su Yuan said solemnly.

"Since that's the case, I can only be polite before resorting to force!"

Venerable Yuanhao's tone became extremely gloomy.

The auras between the two instantly collided, tearing the void apart!

Che Chi Old Man, Wuyazi, and the Stone Dominator exchanged glances and, with great tacit understanding, retreated a long distance. They stood in a triangular formation, constructing an enclosed space.

Su Yuan glanced at them, the corner of his mouth twitching. These three were clearly watching the show, not caring if things got bigger. They had specifically set up an arena-like area, the three of them jointly building a massive enclosed space, forcing the two to fight inside with no way out!

Seeing this, Venerable Yuanhao was overjoyed. This was even more useful than the trapping method he had prepared earlier. It could guarantee Su Yuan couldn't escape, allowing him to smoothly kill Su Yuan.

Su Yuan withdrew his gaze, his tone equally icy, "Fellow Daoist truly wishes to go this far? It's just a mere treasure, not worth you risking your life!"

Venerable Yuanhao laughed out loud, "Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, it seems you have great confidence in your own strength!"

"Indeed!" Su Yuan said calmly.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two had completely dropped to freezing point!

At a certain moment, both simultaneously vanished from the void.

When they reappeared, they had simultaneously closed the distance.

Venerable Yuanhao's gaze was icy. A long spear condensed in his hand, and he fiercely thrust it towards Su Yuan.

Twenty-four Dao Principles perfectly fused onto this spear. Chaos True Intent flowed unceasingly, carrying an unstoppable, terrifying force capable of destroying all defenses in the world!

For this spear thrust, Venerable Yuanhao had used his full power, holding nothing back!

The long spear itself was also a quasi-Dominator artifact, possessing terrifying destructive power on its own. Within the spear was a Little Chaos, driving a massive amount of Chaos Origin, multiplying the damage caused by hundreds of times!

He didn't believe Su Yuan could block this strike!

Yet Su Yuan's expression was indifferent. Facing the ferocious attack, Su Yuan raised his palm and opened his hand!

"With a single thought, Chaos is born!"

On Su Yuan's palm, a black dot instantly expanded, transforming into a grey pearl!

Within the pearl, a Little Chaos materialized out of thin air. Twelve Dao Principles perfectly combined, constructing a Little Chaos Universe with a perfect structure!

Inside, Chaotic Energy filled the space. Dao Principles evolved into the rules of the myriad heavens. Worlds were born out of nothingness. The Little Chaos instantly expanded several times, reaching an extremely vast scale.

Watching from afar, Che Chi Old Man showed a look of surprise, "This is... Chaos in the Palm? Such a proficient method of creating a Little Chaos!"

Wuyazi nodded, "With the domain generated by this Little Chaos, it should be enough to block Yuanhao's strike!"

"His realm has already reached the seventh, eighth, or ninth step, right?" said the Stone Dominator. "He's not far from a Chaos Dominator. Where did this genius come from?"

Just as the three were marveling, they suddenly noticed signs of disorder appearing in the Little Chaos on Su Yuan's palm.

"Huh?"

The three were astonished.

Venerable Yuanhao felt it even more deeply. His spear thrust was about to collide with that Little Chaos pearl.

At that moment, the Little Chaos entered a state of disorder.

"With a single thought, Chaos is destroyed!"

Su Yuan chuckled lightly and gently pushed the Little Chaos in his hand forward!

The Little Chaos instantly approached Venerable Yuanhao.

Venerable Yuanhao's pupils contracted. His spear pierced the Little Chaos, but it was already useless!

The Little Chaos instantly shattered. Boundless Chaotic Energy and vast Chaos Origin erupted to their extreme in that single moment!

A terrifying destructive force exploded with a roar!

The void collapsed, all things withered. Everything within a radius of one hundred million light-years was devoured by the destructive force of the Little Chaos, completely turning into nothingness!

Che Chi Old Man, Wuyazi, and the Stone Dominator had long since made themselves scarce, retreating several hundred million light-years. When they looked back, they saw that the desert ahead had disappeared. In its place was a super-giant crater of unimaginable size!

At the bottom of the crater, countless magma gushed forth, shooting up into the sky, dyeing the horizon a blood-red color.

In the original position mid-air, Su Yuan's figure still stood steadily.

Venerable Yuanhao, however, had vanished.

A long time later, a disheveled figure shot out from the soaring magma.

Venerable Yuanhao reappeared, but his appearance was utterly miserable. Dozens of obvious cracks had appeared on the defensive treasure robe covering his body. He had multiple wounds all over, and even the long spear in his hand now had a fine, dense crack, from which Chaotic Energy occasionally leaked out.

Venerable Yuanhao was injured.
