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

Chapter 658: Disturbing the Nothingness Dominator

"What about my work here?" The Chaos Stone Eagle pointed toward the treasury."I'll find other hands to guard it!" Xie Tingfeng waved dismissively.

"You said it yourself!"

The Chaos Stone Eagle stretched its body, its stone feathers brightening noticeably.

"Go on," Xie Tingfeng said.

The Chaos Stone Eagle shot out from the treasury, merging into the Nothingness, then sped off rapidly toward the direction of the Third Frontline.

In the Nothingness, the Chaos Stone Eagle was like a fish in water or a bird in the sky—free and swift, moving at an incredible pace.

On the other side.

The hidden operative that the former Seventh Speaker had planted within the Second Frontline was still monitoring all kinds of information from the Chaos Alliance, especially the logistics news of the Second Frontline, which was of utmost importance.

Behind the Scavenger army, the former Seventh Speaker had condensed a Nothingness body and formally become a Nothingness Dominator, with his rank astonishingly also at Seventy-Two!

He had renamed himself Void Venerable!

He felt immensely satisfied with his choice.

The most obvious difference was that he could sense the ceiling on his realm had vanished, though bottlenecks still existed!

And the way he broke through those bottlenecks was by slaying and completely erasing two Chaos Dominators of the same rank or one Chaos Dominator of a higher rank!

No wonder the Nothingness Dominators were so fixated on dealing with Chaos Dominators—this was a fundamental conflict, one that could never be reconciled.

Void Venerable checked the messages sent by the spy, and a smile crept across his lips.

"Just as I thought, the Second Frontline is severely lacking in Dominator Artifact reserves. Once war breaks out, problems are bound to arise!"

The other ten Nothingness Dominators gathered around him.

One of them laughed loudly. "Void Venerable, you've made a great contribution. At the next conquest, we'll give you a kill quota!"

Void Venerable's eyes gleamed as he smiled. "Thank you all for the concession!"

"I'm sure you've already understood the key to advancing as a Nothingness Dominator. This is an important secret of the Nothingness Dominators—don't leak a single bit of it. We can defeat Chaos Dominators and kill a couple of Speakers, but we can't cripple the Chaos Dominators outright. We need to draw it out over time!"

One Nothingness Dominator reminded him.

Void Venerable fell silent. No wonder the Second Frontline, despite being at a disadvantage all these years, had still managed to hold its ground. It held when the odds were seven to ten, and it still held when they were six to eleven.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a message from his spy subordinate that left him stunned.

The Dominator Artifact reserves, which had reached an extremely low level, had been replenished by more than half in just one day!

The weapon reserves of the Second Frontline had suddenly become plentiful!

The logistical crisis that had existed before was now essentially resolved.

Void Venerable was dumbfounded!

The Scavenger army had already marched to the front lines of the Second Frontline, and now that this news had come through, he didn't even know whether he should tell the others.

"What's wrong?"

The First Nothingness Dominator asked, puzzled.

Void Venerable sighed. "Just now, I received an internal intelligence report. The Dominator Artifact reserves of the Second Frontline, which had been depleted, are now basically full!"

All ten Nothingness Dominators froze in place.

"What do you mean?" The First Nothingness Dominator's tone turned displeased.

"It means an artificer called Seven Stars, single-handedly, provided seven hundred million Dominator Artifacts, ranging from 30th Tier to 60th Tier!"

Even as Void Venerable said this, his tone carried a hint of disbelief.

"Do you believe it yourself?" the First Nothingness Dominator asked.

"All my subordinates and informants have confirmed the truth of this news!" Void Venerable sighed. "I suspect this is Ying Wenzheng's backup plan, but I'm really baffled."

"And who is this Seven Stars?" the First Nothingness Dominator asked.

"I don't know either. All I know is that he's the City Lord of a city called Black Flame City in the Third Frontline. I'd never even heard of him before!"

Void Venerable felt like he'd been played, but he had no proof.

"This Seven Stars is no ordinary man. Send someone to eliminate him immediately!" the First Nothingness Dominator ordered on the spot. "We should have planted nails in the Third Frontline, right?"

"We do. We have a hidden Nothingness Dominator at the 70th Tier, ready to follow orders at any time!"

"Good. Send him to take out this Seven Stars. No matter what, eliminate this threat first, then go confirm the details!"

The Nothingness Dominators reacted swiftly, immediately activating their hidden forces.

Inside the Third Frontline.

In a patch of Nothingness.

A figure slowly condensed from the once-empty void, a pair of sharp eyes gleaming with a cold light.

It looked like a cyan lion.

"The mission is just to kill an artificer?"

"This job's easy. Once he's dealt with, the mission is over, and I can return to the main base!"

He had been hidden here, waiting for emergency missions.

He had originally thought he would have to launch an attack on the cities of the Third Frontline simultaneously with the assault on the Second Frontline. But now, his mission was merely to kill an artificer.

Wasn't that a colossal waste of his combat power?

Was this artificer really worth more than all the cities of the Third Frontline combined?

The cyan lion stretched its body, then slipped away toward the direction of Black Flame City.

To the cyan lion's satisfaction, it wasn't far from Black Flame City, and it would reach its destination soon.

At the same time.

When Su Yuan withdrew from the mental space of the City Lord Seal, a lotus seed had also been transmitted to him through the Alliance Token.

Su Yuan stared at the lotus seed, and some information appeared.

[Item]: Chaos Void Lotus - Lotus Seed

[Type]: Nothingness Spiritual Plant

[Rank]: 99th Tier

[Effect]: Can nurture a Chaos Void Lotus; after ingestion, can condense a Chaos Void Body (side effect: the body will be transformed into a Void Body)

Su Yuan was speechless as he looked at the item name. This wasn't the Chaos Void Lotus seed that Xie Tingfeng had mentioned at all—it was a Chaos Void Lotus seed. A single word difference, and the gap was like heaven and earth.

Its rank had reached an astonishing 99th Tier!

The effect was also terrifyingly powerful—it could transform someone into a Chaos Void Body, granting them a 99th-Tier physical realm!

But Su Yuan's Power of Fame could see that there were side effects. Although one could easily obtain a 99th-Tier physical realm, their upper limit would be locked here. The one-step distance to the 100th Tier was an eternity.

So, swallowing this lotus seed was simply not worth it for Su Yuan. Instead, it would be far more practical to cultivate it into a true Chaos Void Lotus and then awaken it into life.
