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

Star Ancient God’s eyes flashed as he immediately ordered the action.

Ten Directions Ancient God Formation!

Ten Rule Ancient Gods formed together into a vast and expansive crystal wall universe, with ten rules combining into one great dao will.

The terrifying great dao pressure instantly suppressed Su Yuan.

Su Yuan’s expression remained natural as he ignored the so-called great dao pressure.

However, he was quite surprised by the methods of these ten ancient gods.

Using their own rules as a framework, they temporarily constructed a crystal wall universe, thereby unifying the abilities of all ten ancient gods and amplifying the power of their techniques.

This technique could even persist long-term—as long as they maintained this state until the universe completely stabilized on its own, this crystal wall universe could truly exist.

This great dao divine ability, similar to 【Palm Universe】, already approached the power of the Hunyuan Tai Chi Golden Immortal realm!

No wonder the next realm for Rule Ancient Gods was the Creator God realm.

In an instant, Su Yuan deduced the advancement path of Rule Ancient Gods—using the rule cores of other Rule Ancient Gods as foundation stones to construct a perfect universe and control a universal will.

Star Ancient God now controlled the great dao will of this temporary universe, with countless rule threads forming the universal will that took shape, its power skyrocketing wildly.

A pseudo-great dao eye stared at Su Yuan, its gaze revealing condescending indifference.

Su Yuan smiled faintly: “Thank you for the demonstration. I’ve gained some understanding of the Tai Chi Realm.”

Star Ancient God didn’t comprehend what Su Yuan meant by Tai Chi Realm.

He merely looked indifferently at Su Yuan, using the universal will to seal time and space, cutting off the reincarnation great dao, and eliminating any possibility of Su Yuan’s escape.

Su Yuan then clenched his right hand, and 【Tear of Eternity】 transformed into a Seven Stars Sword, ready for action.

After preparing, Star Ancient God took the initiative to attack!

From the pseudo-great dao eye, a destructive divine thunder erupted!

The thunder crossed the void and instantly arrived before Su Yuan.

Within the divine thunder, numerous rule powers were fused together, countering most forces in the world, possessing irresistible destructive power.

Su Yuan raised his sword and slashed upward.

The sword also emitted profound rule power, but Su Yuan only mobilized one type of rule power!

Life rule power!

Using the Tai Chi Realm Puppet’s power as the core and the 【Mimicker】’s method, Su Yuan imitated the Green Emperor’s life rule power to execute the Green Emperor’s great dao divine ability 【Withering】. Both its external form and core essence had reached the Hunyuan Tai Chi realm.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the sword strike Su Yuan unleashed was already the genuine great dao divine ability 【Withering】!

The sword struck the destructive divine thunder.

In that instant, the destructive divine thunder seemed to transform into a living being, gaining life and “health points.” And any existence with “health points” could be killed!

Su Yuan saw the life thread of the divine thunder.

So, Su Yuan severed that life thread!

Subsequently, this destructive divine thunder seemed to have its vitality severed, falling powerlessly into the void, now filled with deathly stillness. The divine thunder was no longer active, as if it had become a “lifeless object” with no vitality left, naturally incapable of attacking Su Yuan again.

This scene astonished both Star Ancient God and the other merged ancient gods.

The destructive divine thunder unleashed by the universal will should have caused massive damage and was almost impossible to evade, forcing one to withstand it directly. Yet Su Yuan displayed this ability to sever divine thunder with his sword, leaving them utterly incredulous.

Su Yuan raised his head, countless life threads entering his vision.

He not only saw the life threads of all things in the universe, but he also saw the life thread of the universal will. He even saw behind these appearances—the life threads on the ten ancient gods themselves!

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Su Yuan had a feeling that if he killed the ancient gods using the life dao, he could sever their origin cores!

Dead origin cores would only lose their owners, but they themselves would still belong to the Hunyuan Great Luo level origin, allowing living beings to fuse with them and attempt breakthroughs to the Hunyuan realm.

“Wait, I understand how the law origin qi of Primordial Isle came to be!” A flash of enlightenment appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes.

While Su Yuan was contemplating, Star Ancient God didn’t stop attacking.

Billions of thunderbolts descended, easily freezing time and space, yet under Su Yuan’s sword, they turned into “corpses” one after another.

The thunderbolts hadn’t changed much, but having lost their “vitality,” they were no longer controlled by Star Ancient God and needed to be refined again.

Su Yuan casually collected the “dead” thunderbolts into his sword, that is, into 【Tear of Eternity】, continuing to strengthen 【Tear of Eternity】’s power.

“Is this the life rule? How can he sever our rule power?” an ancient god voiced confusion.

“Impossible! How can rule power of the same realm easily destroy other rules’ power?”

“Moreover, our ten rule origins have merged, their essence already approaching the Creator God level. How could they be so easily severed?”

Star Ancient God vaguely had a guess in his heart, but he felt it was extremely absurd.

Given the ease Su Yuan displayed, his divine rank likely already surpassed the Rule Ancient God level. But this was fundamentally impossible—he had personally witnessed Su Yuan’s advancement earlier!

“Let’s execute our ultimate divine ability, Universal Cycle of Life and Death!”

The ancient gods immediately steeled themselves. This was the ultimate killing move simulating universal destruction, with terrifying power that could even potentially harm themselves.

But the pressure Su Yuan exerted was too great, so they all agreed to this course.

Su Yuan immediately felt the entire crystal wall universe abruptly accelerating toward collapse.

Borrowing the life rule power, he saw the universe accelerating toward death, with life energy constantly compressing during this process. Once this life force compressed to its extreme, it would inevitably generate massive destructive power—the principle was equivalent to a cultivator’s self-destruction, but this was an entire universe’s self-destruction!

“Since you don’t want to play anymore, let’s end this!”

Naturally, Su Yuan wouldn’t allow them to execute their technique. Since the universe was determined to self-destruct, it meant abandoning its own life. In that case, he might as well directly end the universe’s life.

“Sever!”

A light shout rang out as Su Yuan’s 【Tear of Eternity】 transformed into a long blade. The blade light condensed into a supreme life edge that swept down, cutting across the entire universe and striking the universe’s life thread.

With a clear cracking sound, the universe’s life thread was severed!

With the life thread broken, the universe directly entered a state of withering and death, naturally interrupting the compression and self-destruction process.

And the ten ancient gods who composed the universe scattered into the void like kites with cut strings.
