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

The Cyan Lion quickly closed in, then unleashed a soul roar.

A terrifying wave of soul-shaking force howled forth.

Su Yuan’s mind stirred.

The ability of [Dominator of Space] was activated.

Before him, a spatial barrier materialized!

The defensive power of this spatial barrier came from the space of Black Flame City itself, and this space constructed by The Alliance had an intensity of at least the seventieth rank.

One layer of the spatial barrier was easily shattered by the soul roar, but the roar itself was also somewhat depleted.

Su Yuan’s mind stirred again, and he condensed another spatial barrier, once more blocking the soul roar’s path.

The spatial barrier was again partially broken.

But this time, the power of the soul roar was significantly reduced.

After seven such exchanges, the soul roar could no longer break through the seventh spatial barrier.

All of this happened in an incredibly short span of time.

The Cyan Lion frowned, immediately realizing there was a major problem with his intelligence.

This was no ordinary Artificer; the opponent’s strength had clearly also reached the seventieth rank!

The Cyan Lion sensed something was wrong and immediately thought of retreating.

Without a word, he instantly pulled back, trying to escape this space.

However, when he turned around to look, he was stunned to find Su Yuan right behind him, as if he had turned around to face nothing but emptiness.

When he extended his perception outward.

He discovered that in every direction, there was a Su Yuan and a little girl. These countless Su Yuans and countless little girls had surrounded him tightly in the center, blocking all his escape routes.

“This technique is no simple matter!” The Cyan Lion’s eyes flashed with golden light, as if trying to see through Su Yuan’s true nature, but he could discern nothing.

It seemed that every Su Yuan in every direction was real.

And indeed, that was the case.

Su Yuan controlled space; his body existed simultaneously across countless dimensional spaces. Once someone entered the space under his control, anyone wishing to escape had to defeat him, or they would be forever trapped in a spatial cage.

The Cyan Lion let out a great roar, his body expanding infinitely, instantly transforming into the size of a chaotic universe. His massive frame was filled with terrifying power, and he roared in fury.

A colossal sonic attack, far more powerful than before, radiated from him, surging outward in all directions.

In that instant, countless Su Yuans were locked onto simultaneously!

Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. With a wave of his hand, a hexagonal shield appeared before him, blocking his front.

Countless Su Yuans seemed to mimic this same action, forming a spherical wall of shields, layer upon layer, containing all of the Cyan Lion’s attacks within.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Countless sonic attacks struck the shields, only to be reflected back.

Countless echoes of the impact reverberated throughout the inner space, and the reflected sonic attacks instantly converged on the Cyan Lion.

These reflected attacks, however, were immediately seized by Su Yuan’s [Dominator of Force], becoming his own attacks. The will imprints within the techniques were shattered by the Void Ark shield the moment they were blocked.

The Cyan Lion had never imagined he would have to withstand his own attacks.

The cyan hair on his body emitted a hazy blue glow, easily blocking these attacks, but the Cyan Lion’s expression turned grim. His strongest attack had been blocked and turned against him—how could he continue this battle?

At this moment, Su Lian beside Su Yuan started to fidget with excitement, looking up at him with eager anticipation.

“Little Lian, do you want to fight?”

“Yes, Father, please allow Little Lian to make a move!” Su Lian gazed at Su Yuan with longing.

This was precisely why Su Yuan had brought her out in the first place, so he had no reason to refuse.

“Go ahead, but be careful.”

“Okay!”

Su Lian excitedly charged toward the Cyan Lion.

The Cyan Lion snorted coldly and viciously lashed out with three claw shadows.

Su Lian’s figure flickered, dodging the Cyan Lion’s attack.

Her body seemed to instantly enter a kind of illusory state, completely impossible to hit.

Then Su Lian made her move. Around her, the Ninety-Nine Flying Blades whirled into motion, shooting toward the Cyan Lion.

The Cyan Lion’s expression changed instantly. He immediately sensed the threat of these Ninety-Nine Flying Blades. The perception was crystal clear: one hit would mean a minor injury!

Two hits would mean a severe injury!

Three hits would mean death!

Thus, the Cyan Lion decisively used the Scavengers’ life-saving divine technique.

His body began to merge into Nothingness, becoming a part of it, not only neutralizing the attacks but also allowing him to flee the battlefield.

This was why Nothingness Dominators were so hard to kill. Unlike Chaos Dominators, who lacked a Life-bound Chaos to revive from, Nothingness Dominators could escape through Nothingness, granting them formidable survival abilities.

However, this time, he had miscalculated.

The ability of [Dominator of Space] once again displayed astonishing results.

Within the space controlled by Su Yuan, there was not a trace of Nothingness to be found. The space completely and utterly repelled Nothingness; this was a space of pure, absolute existence!

True Name Power filled every corner, representing the force of reality, occupying every inch of space.

And so, the Cyan Lion’s foolproof divine technique failed in this moment.

The Cyan Lion’s face turned completely pale. After trying several times without success, he was thoroughly panicked.

He quickly used extreme speed to evade the flying blades’ attacks.

Su Lian’s control over the flying blades was indeed quite clumsy, and the Cyan Lion actually managed to dodge them.

But after a few attempts, Su Lian became adept at handling the blades.

The flying blades flashed continuously through space, crossing dozens of Chaos units in a single blink. Within a spatial range exceeding ten thousand Chaos units, they constantly flickered, sealing off the Cyan Lion’s movement.

In the end, the Cyan Lion was struck by one blade.

In an instant, ten percent of the Nothingness Power within his body was severed!

Most terrifying of all, the Cyan Lion could not draw Nothingness Power from Nothingness to replenish his own consumption.

Thus, with his strength diminished, his evasive ability further declined, and he was soon hit by a second blade.

Thirty percent of the Nothingness Power in his body was cut away!

Filled with shock and fury, the Cyan Lion tried to report his situation to the Nothingness Dominator, but to his despair, the entire space was under Su Yuan’s control, completely sealing off all communication.

His transmission could not get out at all, tightly restricted by Su Yuan.

Then, the Cyan Lion was struck by a third flying blade. Ninety-nine percent of his Nothingness Power was severed, leaving only a single percent lingering, barely alive.

Su Yuan stopped Su Lian’s next move with a look, then asked, “Tell me everything you know!”

“Hmph! I won’t tell you anything!” the Cyan Lion roared angrily.

Su Yuan said calmly, “That’s not for you to decide!”

The ability of [Dominator of Force] was activated. Su Yuan’s True Name Power was converted into the power of the Chaos Soul Dao, and with it, he searched the Cyan Lion’s soul.

The Cyan Lion’s soul was also composed of Nothingness Power, but it could not prevent Su Yuan’s search.

Soon, Su Yuan gained a general understanding of the basic situation among the Scavengers.
