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

Chapter 511: Defeating Huo Linzi



“A single sword, Chaos is born!”

Su Yuan mobilized the fused Dao Principles within his body, stimulated the might of the Seven Stars Sword, and condensed countless sword lights out of thin air. Within a radius of billions of light-years, a domain of Chaos took form!

Huo Linzi immediately discovered that he had fallen into a strange domain.

Innumerable sword lights, moving along mysterious threads, constructed a perfectly intricate network of sword light!

As each strand of sword energy flowed, wisps of the profound meaning of Chaos wove together to form a complete, self-contained Chaos!

Huo Linzi’s expression changed instantly. “Chaos Intent approaching perfection!”

In his perception, the Chaos domain enveloping him was infinitely close to the most perfect state. This proved that the newcomer had already comprehended a complete path to Chaos, lacking only the final fusion and structure to break through to the Chaos Dominator realm!

Although this final step was also incomparably difficult, it signified the other party was infinitely close to breaking through to Chaos Dominator. Moreover, the power of the Daoist techniques he could unleash were Chaos techniques capable of fighting across several cultivation stages!

“Fire Melts Chaos!”

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Linzi unleashed his strongest killing move.

Endless flames transformed into a furnace capable of melting and annihilating Chaos itself!

However, Su Yuan’s actions were a step faster.

The very next moment after the Chaos domain was constructed.

“Chaos Big Bang!”

In an instant, the Chaos domain spanning hundreds of billions of light-years collapsed, condensing completely into a single point in a flash, and then immediately exploded with a thunderous roar!

Violent waves of destruction spread out in all directions. The shockwaves heading towards the territory of the Miluo Dao Court were blocked by Su Yuan, while the other half of the shockwaves spread towards the Blood Moon Dao Court.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the distant border of the Blood Moon Dao Court was directly extinguished by the shockwaves. Everything there turned into nothingness.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared, utterly shocked, at this terrifying scene.

That dreadful killing move of Chaos being born and then annihilated, combining confinement, slaughter, and obliteration into one, was immensely powerful and erupted with terrifying speed. He truly found it hard to imagine anyone being able to withstand such a strike!

“Cough, cough!”

Two coughs rang out in the now empty void.

A tiny point expanded in an instant, transforming into a palace.

However, the originally magnificent and imposing palace was now tattered and broken.

Huo Linzi’s body, split into several pieces, was slowly pulling itself back together. The coughing sounds came from the mouth on his remaining half a head.

Huo Linzi’s appearance was utterly miserable.

His one remaining eye (half of a pair) looked at Su Yuan with terror, his face still wearing an expression of disbelief.

Clearly, he, a Fifteenth-order Fused Dao Venerable, had been easily and severely wounded by Su Yuan, a mere Twelfth-order Fused Dao Venerable. Huo Linzi simply couldn’t accept it.

His gaze shifted to the sword in Su Yuan’s hand. His rich experience allowed him to see the extraordinary nature of that sword, and his eyes were filled with incredulity.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable waited a moment. Seeing that Su Yuan had not launched a second attack after the first, he couldn’t help but look at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan gave him a look.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable immediately understood. He stepped directly in front of Huo Linzi, looking down at him coldly. “Now, do you have anything you wish to say? If not, it’s time I sent you on your way!”

“You dare!” Huo Linzi looked at the Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable with shock and fury, flipping his hand to produce an object. “This is a summoning token from a Seventeenth-order powerhouse of my Dao Court! If you push me, I will immediately call for his aid!”

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable sneered disdainfully. “Try it. Let’s see if your call for aid is faster, or your death is faster!”

“You… what do you actually want?” Huo Linzi asked warily, his gaze shifting to Su Yuan.

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable blocked Huo Linzi’s line of sight, speaking indifferently, “Our Miluo Dao Court has always been reasonable. You invaded our territory without cause, slaughtering countless cultivators. This is a tremendous loss. Very well, we won’t ask for too much. As long as you pay tenfold compensation and additionally hand over the territories of five Chaos Kingdoms to our Dao Court, this matter can be considered settled!”

Huo Linzi’s face at this moment was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Such a loss was truly enormous!

But circumstances were stronger than the man.

Meanwhile, one of Huo Linzi’s avatars had already rushed to the headquarters of the Wuliang Dao Court and met with its leader, the Eighteenth-order Fused Dao Venerable, Wudaizi!

Upon seeing Wudaizi, Huo Linzi immediately reported everything that had just happened.

Wudaizi looked at Huo Linzi expressionlessly and said, “I need to examine your recent memories!”

“Yes!” Huo Linzi gritted his teeth and nodded.

Wudaizi extended his palm, placing it on the head of Huo Linzi’s avatar, and began to retroactively view Huo Linzi’s memories.

When he saw the ultimate move of ‘A Single Sword Gives Birth to Chaos’ and the killing technique of ‘Chaos Big Bang’ displayed by Su Yuan, a clear look of surprise appeared on Wudaizi’s face.

“To actually have already approached the perfect level… I didn’t expect another fellow Daoist to be born!”

Wudaizi’s tone became serious.

Huo Linzi also let out a bitter laugh. “I had no power to resist under his techniques. That weapon of his is extraordinary, seeming to perfectly harmonize with his Chaos path, amplifying his power by several dozen times again!”

Wudaizi was not surprised by this. “That sword is indeed a Twelfth-order Fused Dao Treasure. His Chaos path was likely consolidated with the help of that sword. His luck and talent are both excellent!”

“So, how should this matter be resolved?” Huo Linzi asked hesitantly.

“He has already earned the qualification to sit at the table. In all of Chaos, only seven or eight have reached this level. Since no life-and-death enmity has been formed, handle this matter according to his demands. It’s better to resolve grievances than to create them. Additionally, in other independent space-times, give him five more Chaos Kingdom territories, along with three Fused Dao Treasures as an apology!” Wudaizi’s tone was calm.

“What? That much!” Huo Linzi’s voice was filled with unwillingness and helplessness.

Now he had become a sinner to the Dao Court. The contribution points deducted would probably turn his savings into a negative number.

Wudaizi seemed to perceive Huo Linzi’s thoughts and smiled. “This matter might not be a bad thing. Establishing a connection with this person might lead to cooperation in the future. Tell him that This Sovereign looks forward to discussing the Dao with him and ask if he has the time.”

Huo Linzi understood, cupping his hands in salute. “This subordinate understands!”

On the other side.

Huo Linzi’s body had barely recovered. He cast a complicated glance at the calm Su Yuan and said, “I agree to give you compensation!”

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable showed a look of surprise. He had thought the other party would haggle. He had left room for bargaining, but he hadn’t expected the other party to agree directly!

Could it be that the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign had scared him into submission?

He looked at Su Yuan with awe.

Only now did he belatedly realize what Su Yuan’s earlier techniques truly represented.
