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

“Slash!”

Su Yuan’s second blade swept toward the Sky Ancient God.

The Sky Ancient God instantly smelled the scent of death.

He was the master of the heavens, his origin already connected to the endless sky—even if killed, how could he possibly die?

Yet in Su Yuan’s eyes, the threads of life on his body were so glaringly obvious. There were fourteen threads of life in total—some stretched into the void, some hid within his body, some extended into the distance—but the source of all these threads of life was upon that Ancient Godhood.

Su Yuan’s blade tore through space, passed through the Sky Ancient God’s defenses and divine body, and struck directly upon the primary godhood. The front ends of all fourteen threads of life were severed!

In that instant, all signs of life in the Sky Ancient God vanished completely!

His divine body lost consciousness, his divine soul shattered and dissipated, his divine flame extinguished directly, and even his primary godhood fractured.

Only the origin energy within was preserved, manifesting before him as a wisp of Sky Law Root Qi!

Su Yuan collected it, then turned and slashed toward the nearby Ocean Ancient God.

The Ocean Ancient God was already terrified out of his wits. Without hesitation, he abandoned this body, his consciousness attempting to traverse space and escape this place.

But two strange lights flashed in Su Yuan’s pupils. In his left eye, the power of the Time Law slowed and even paused the Ocean Ancient God’s movements. In his right eye, the power of the Dimension Law restricted and even sealed the Ocean Ancient God’s mobility.

In the moment the Ocean Ancient God was restrained, Su Yuan’s Tear of Eternity blade easily struck the Ocean Ancient God’s body, severing the twelve threads of life within him.

The threads of life snapped with the sound, and the intelligence in the Ocean Ancient God’s eyes vanished instantly. Though his physical body remained intact, the Ocean Ancient God’s life had been extinguished.

Su Yuan harvested a wisp of Life Law Root Qi.

With two Ancient Gods perishing on the spot, the void finally reacted, unleashing boundless blood rain. When Ancient Gods fall, heaven and earth mourn together!

Living beings touched by the blood rain all felt boundless sorrow, forced to cease their actions and express their grief and sadness to the world.

But Su Yuan remained completely unaffected—he only felt excitement and joy! This was Law Root Qi!

He had always wondered how the Law Root Qi on Primordial Isle came to be. So this was how the Green Emperor obtained it himself through slaughter. The methods of the Life Great Dao were unexpectedly miraculous.

No wonder this was the first human inheritance. If that puppet had personally killed other Hunyuan cultivators, it would likely have similarly seized Law Root Qi. With new Law Root Qi, the Human Sovereign could cultivate more human powerhouses to overcome difficulties.

And now, using the methods of [Mimicker] and [Tear of Eternity], Su Yuan had achieved the same feat. Moreover, with the help of [Tear of Eternity], he could generate two from one, three from two, producing even more of the same Law Root Qi.

Su Yuan’s third blade locked onto the Earth Ancient God.

“Why me!” The Earth Ancient God was scared out of his mind at this moment. Without hesitation, he chased after the Star Ancient God’s direction.

“Stars, save me!”

Yet the Star Ancient God at this moment fled without looking back!

He showed no intention of glancing back even once.

The Earth Ancient God felt the arrival of despair. He turned toward Su Yuan and unleashed his ultimate attack.

But it was useless!

Attack after attack landed on Su Yuan, only causing minor injuries—and these minor injuries, before the Life Law, recovered in less than an instant!

The Earth Ancient God despaired. He regretted it—if he had known, he wouldn’t have come!

“I surrender!”

The Earth Ancient God chose to preserve his life, setting aside his dignity to survive.

However, for Su Yuan, the Earth Ancient God was more valuable as a corpse.

Blade light flashed, and the dozen or so threads of life on the Earth Ancient God shattered one by one. The Earth Ancient God’s form of existence continuously downgraded until even his true spirit and consciousness vanished without a trace.

Su Yuan killed the Earth Ancient God from every conceivable aspect, even cutting off any possibility of resurrection!

This was the terror of life rules. The Life Great Dao at the Tai Chi Realm held terrifying power of life and death over numerous rules one level lower.

After Su Yuan extracted the Earth Law Root Qi from within the Earth Ancient God…

By this time, the other seven Ancient Gods had already fled far away, escaping toward their own Divine Kingdoms.

Su Yuan sneered coldly: “Do you think you can escape?”

He took a single step, activating the [World Traveler] trait.

He instantly appeared behind the Wind Ancient God and delivered a fatal slash toward him!

“Impossible!”

The Wind Ancient God had been supremely confident in his speed, believing fewer than two Ancient Gods in heaven and earth could catch up to him. But Su Yuan’s appearance made him realize another Ancient God faster than him had emerged.

Su Yuan slashed down without hesitation.

The Wind Ancient God attempted to dodge.

However, the powers of dimension and time exerted their force once more. Space-time stagnated, and the Wind Ancient God’s movement faced massive restrictions.

Star Law power formed numerous starry chains that similarly restrained the Wind Ancient God’s actions.

The Wind Ancient God transformed into countless forms, changing into innumerable wisps of wind blowing in all directions.

Su Yuan chuckled wryly, simply tossing his long blade into the air. The blade transformed mid-air into a massive mirror surface—so large it rivaled an entire crystal wall universe!

The mirror reflected countless star pearls, concealing unimaginable power.

The mirror reflected those countless dispersed winds, and unknowingly, these winds were drawn into the mirror surface, transforming into droplets of eternal tears.

The Wind Ancient God within the teardrops continued to flee endlessly, but he didn’t realize he had already been captured by the [Tear of Eternity], becoming part of it.

Su Yuan shook his head. The mirror rapidly shrank, transforming back into a long blade in Su Yuan’s hand.

With a flash, Su Yuan appeared abruptly beside the Thunder Ancient God.

The Thunder Ancient God had prepared long ago. His low-grade Acquired Supreme Treasure struck out with a burst of annihilation divine thunder, intending to delay Su Yuan’s attack.

But Su Yuan merely slashed several times, not only destroying the Thunder Ancient God’s attacks but slaying the Thunder Ancient God himself!

After the Thunder Ancient God, the Ice Ancient God, Fire Ancient God, Night Ancient God, and Blood Moon Ancient God were all chased down and slain by Su Yuan!

They died without ever returning to their Divine Kingdoms—they simply couldn’t escape back!

It’s worth mentioning that after the Fire Ancient God perished, Su Yuan obtained another wisp of Fire Law Root Qi. Having wasted one previously, now regaining it, Su Yuan expressed sincere gratitude for the Fire Ancient God’s generosity!

As for the Star Ancient God, he finally reached his Divine Kingdom and hid within its core.

Within a Divine Kingdom, a deity could boost their combat power by one realm—meaning the Star Ancient God could wield the power and methods of a Creator God inside his Divine Kingdom.

But Su Yuan no longer cared, because he had plenty of Star Law Root Qi. This was also why he placed the Star Ancient God last. Additionally, he felt the Star Ancient God would definitely cause trouble later, inviting other Ancient Gods to deal with him. This way, he would have an excuse to take action against other Ancient Gods.
