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

Chapter 711: Changing the Target



"Hm?"

Northern Curse Master sensed that Changsun Xuzhu's primal aura showed no change, his expression flickering in surprise.

"Strange!" Northern Curse Master was very puzzled.

Su Yuan's attack arrived at this moment.

Northern Curse Master instinctively dodged. With his movement technique, he should have easily avoided Changsun Xuzhu's strike.

However, something astonishing happened.

Even though he had pushed his movement to the limit, he was still effortlessly hit.

Raging flames surged in, and the set of wind-cloak covering his body was ignited.

Northern Curse Master immediately expended Primal Source Power to activate his defensive wind-cloak, but some flames still pierced through the cloak’s layered defenses and landed on him.

His physical body was scorched by the void flames, and his Primal Source Power began dropping rapidly.

Northern Curse Master continued to dodge, driving his movement skill to its extreme, yet the following attacks kept coming in an endless stream.

"Something's wrong! Why is Changsun Xuzhu so strong today!"

Northern Curse Master suddenly realized, "You already took that Supreme Treasure?!"

Su Yuan snorted coldly, "So what if you know? You won't be escaping here today!"

Northern Curse Master's heart sank. Looking around, he discovered he had already been tightly sealed by a treasure furnace.

It was Changsun Xuzhu's signature artifact, the Void-Devouring Treasure Furnace!

"Amazing! Compared to before, your strength is worlds apart!"

Northern Curse Master acknowledged Changsun Xuzhu's leap in power.

He attacked Changsun Xuzhu again, chanting curses, repeatedly locking onto "Changsun Xuzhu."

But Su Yuan no longer intended to take those attacks. Using the Dominator of Space’s methods, he continuously flickered through this space.

Curse Kill, ten times out of ten, missed!

Even if it miraculously hit, Su Yuan would transfer it to the true Changsun Xuzhu, forcing Changsun Xuzhu to silently endure it while hastening to recover his injuries.

Meanwhile Su Yuan's attacks landed on Northern Curse Master like burning afflictions attached to the bone, steadily chipping away at Northern Curse Master's Primal Source Power.

Seeing his attacks were ineffective, Northern Curse Master shifted his strikes to counter Su Yuan's assaults, but Su Yuan still easily evaded them.

Northern Curse Master was completely at a loss. He could only strengthen his defenses, hoping to buy more time!

At the same time, he activated a one-use treasure to send out a distress signal about his capture and Changsun Xuzhu obtaining the Supreme Treasure, hoping more people would come to rescue or seize the treasure.

Within the Second Frontline, two Nothingness Prison powerhouses who were searching for treasures immediately received Northern Curse Master's transmission.

They then rushed over without hesitation.

Before long,

the two powerhouses arrived one after the other at the place where "Changsun Xuzhu · Su Yuan" and Northern Curse Master were fighting.

Su Yuan looked over.

【Name】: Sima Tu

【Rank】: 93rd-order Chaos Dominator

【Great Dao】: Chaos Time Dao

【Faction】: Nothingness Prison

【Name】: Li Fei

【Rank】: 94th-order Nothingness Dominator

【Great Dao】: Nothingness Light Dao

【Faction】: Nothingness Prison

Sima Tu and Li Fei exchanged a glance, quickly reaching an unspoken agreement, then both attacked "Changsun Xuzhu" at the same time.

Their combined assault merged, forming a river of time that flowed toward "Changsun Xuzhu."

Su Yuan felt a hint of danger and immediately retreated, withdrawing the Void-Devouring Treasure Furnace.

Northern Curse Master was successfully freed, but his Primal aura was now less than thirty percent of its original strength—severely wounded!

Once he was out, he immediately consumed precious medicinal treasures, and his Primal Source Power rapidly recovered and strengthened.

Seeing this, Sima Tu showed a trace of astonishment. The usually unimpressive Changsun Xuzhu had actually beaten the troublesome Northern Curse Master to such a state; the improvement was shockingly obvious!

Only then did Northern Curse Master look toward the two and say, "He obtained that Supreme Treasure—whatever it is, my attacks are useless on him, and his control of the Space Dao has skyrocketed. His movement technique is exquisite, and his mastery of the Fire Dao has grown tremendously! He's been completely reborn! We must join forces to deal with him!"

Northern Curse Master spoke urgently. In a mere moment, his Primal aura had recovered to ninety percent.

Sima Tu looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded, "I want at least forty percent!"

"I want forty percent too!" Sima Tu said.

Northern Curse Master immediately agreed, "Fine!"

Su Yuan instead smiled, "We're all from Nothingness Prison. If you openly team up against me like this, you'll suffer!"

"Nobody cares about the dead!" Sima Tu snorted coldly.

"Attack!" Li Fei called.

The three combined their assaults in an extremely refined manner, forming an arrow of time that shot toward Su Yuan.

Su Yuan sensed that no matter how he dodged he could not avoid it!

Still, he dodged once.

The time arrow indeed struck him.

Su Yuan directly transferred the attack to the real Changsun Xuzhu.

Inside the Nine Stars Land, Changsun Xuzhu suddenly spat a mouthful of pure Primal blood, his face turning deathly pale.

He looked down at the time arrow lodged in his chest, horrified, "What kind of attack is this? It cut away ninety-nine percent of my Primal Source Power in one blow! I almost perished!"

At this moment, Changsun Xuzhu truly felt like crying without tears. Why was he the one getting hurt? Where did that attack even come from? It contained three super-strong primal Dao forces—damn it!

Su Yuan was also startled by Changsun Xuzhu's grim condition!

If he hadn't transferred the remaining attack power of the time arrow back onto himself, Changsun Xuzhu would have died on the spot.

The leftover time arrow struck a fragment of Su Yuan's ark on his body and was blocked by the shard.

All three could see that Changsun Xuzhu's aura had dropped somewhat—seemingly less than one ten-thousandth, but damage nonetheless.

They exchanged glances and accelerated toward Su Yuan.

Su Yuan hadn't expected their combined assault to be so powerful, hundreds of times stronger than before.

He waved his hand at the three, "Let's go!"

Su Yuan flashed and plunged into the frontline barrier, breaching into the First Frontline.

"Pursue!"

The three followed in unison.

All four moved extremely quickly.

But soon, the three chasing behind noticed something was wrong.

"Changsun Xuzhu's speed is getting faster and faster, clearly beyond the level of a 92nd-order, vanishing from our senses."

They chased for a while longer, then completely lost all trace of Changsun Xuzhu.

Sima Tu couldn't help glancing at Northern Curse Master, "Aren't you good at tracking?"

Northern Curse Master stopped his secret technique and said helplessly, "I don't know why, but I can no longer lock onto Changsun Xuzhu. It's as if he has perished—there isn't a single trace to find."
