Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”
Chapter 294: Xiao Cai Is Defeated
Zhouming's head was crowned with an eye-shaped treasure that shimmered with profound rules of light.
The pitch-black Nameless Mist before them suddenly turned transparent.
Zhouming finally saw the true culprit behind Ragnarök—a colossal multi-colored fish spanning eighteen light-years in length!
Its body seemed to contain thousands of hues, every color in existence could be found upon it, and each shade appeared to represent a unique ability. This was clearly no ordinary creature!
Zhouming's expression turned grave as he declared, "Everyone, our opponent is actually a special exotic beast! Do any of you recognize it?"
He simulated Little Cai's appearance for the others.
Nos shook his head. "I don't recognize it."
Yaxia looked thoughtfully at the image and said, "I believe I've seen descendants of this fish before—creatures called Nine-Colored God-Devouring Fish. They can consume various energies, including divine power, but their grade is usually not particularly high."
"So that's it! Then this Calamity must share similar characteristics!" Nos understood immediately.
"Can you locate this type of fish?" Sifang Creator God asked.
"Let me search!"
Yaxia manipulated space.
Moments later, several Nine-Colored God-Devouring Fish appeared in his hand.
They immediately conducted thorough research on the fish, and from deep within the bloodline of the Nine-Colored God-Devouring Fish, they glimpsed the silhouette of an enormous giant fish.
"That's definitely it!" Zhouming revealed a slight smile.
Meanwhile, Little Cai observed their actions with disdain in her eyes.
She was a Heaven-Devouring Fish, originating from the Nine Nether Realm!
She had absolutely no relation to these common fish—how ridiculous!
Moreover, with Su Yuan's assistance, she had become completely different from her kind. These people were truly foolish!
"Let's attack, no more delays!" Nos Creator God urged.
"Agreed!"
Zhouming Creator God locked onto Little Cai's position, and the eye above his head shot forth a beam of light that instantly immobilized Little Cai's body.
Little Cai vanished from the Nameless Mist.
In that instant, space and time reversed.
Little Cai found herself transported to a void region.
"Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Four Elements Creation!"
Four pillars of light rose from the four corners of the void.
The elemental rules of earth, water, wind, and fire evolved into a world, coalescing into a creation domain!
The four elemental rules condensed into four chains that restrained Little Cai's body from all directions!
The chains wrapped around Little Cai, continuously entangling and binding her!
Sifang Creator God had comprehended four creation-level elemental rules—truly formidable!
Little Cai twisted her body but found herself temporarily unable to break free from the restraint of these four rule chains.
"Well done!"
Zhouming closed his eyes!
The moment he shut his eyes, all light in the world vanished, and even time froze in that instant!
"One moment becomes eternity!"
Zhouming Creator God immediately coordinated, transforming that momentary restraint into an eternal prison!
Zhouming clearly controlled the rule of time, encompassing both temporal rules and light rules!
Yaxia Creator God followed up with his attack!
"I bestow upon you—life deprivation!"
Yaxia raised a scepter, appearing like a deity judging rules as he decreed the stripping of Little Cai's life!
A massive amount of life force was torn from Little Cai's body, as if pronouncing her death sentence!
Nos Creator God held a book and calmly declared, "By the rule of judgment, I proclaim you dead, your soul dispersed!"
Nos clearly mastered the rule of judgment, substituting his own thoughts for heavenly will!
Replacing heavenly principles with his own rules!
Judging Little Cai's death became established fact, dispersing both her soul and true spirit!
The four Creator Deities joined forces to launch a rule-based strike!
The creation divine power within their bodies was depleted by over seventy percent!
This single strike was their pre-arranged fatal blow, executed at full power from the very beginning!
The divine light in Little Cai's eyes dimmed, and both her soul and true spirit within her body seemed to completely dissipate!
At this moment, Little Cai appeared deader than dead!
But Yaxia and the other three suddenly changed expressions, gazing toward the original location of the Nameless Mist.
They saw the black mist coalescing together, and a massive entity reappeared within the Nameless Mist.
Little Cai's physical body and soul reformed once again.
Shock appeared in her eyes—she clearly hadn't expected to be instantly annihilated by the combined attack of four beings!
Zhouming Creator God's eye above his head snapped open, divine light sweeping through the Nameless Mist. His face paled dramatically: "Disaster! We misunderstood her essence! Her true form isn't the fish—she is the Nameless Mist itself!"
The intelligence error had caused their preemptive strike to fail!
"Don't worry, that strike should keep her recovering for quite some time!" Nos stated.
However, Zhouming's expression remained grim, because he clearly saw that Little Cai's body recovered within mere moments, returning to peak condition.
"She's recovered!" Zhouming frowned.
"That's impossible!" Yaxia glanced at Little Cai's remains left behind at the original location—that body still contained abundant life essence!
"I stripped her life at the fundamental rule level! How could she recover so quickly? I have confidence in my life rule!" Yaxia said solemnly.
But the facts were undeniable—the fish had recovered for some unknown reason.
In reality, this was naturally because of the Green Emperor Puppet that Su Yuan had provided.
"Continue! This is our only chance—we can't let her keep growing!" Nos quickly regained his composure.
Everyone nodded.
Their depleted creation divine power was rapidly recovering through their Divine Kingdoms.
They too possessed Divine Kingdoms, and within these kingdoms, they had evolved Heavenly Dao Level worlds. The fundamental essence of these worlds was their creation divine power!
They could quickly draw upon their world's essence to rapidly restore their consumed divine power.
A few moments were already sufficient for them to recover completely!
"I'll try again!"
Zhouming Creator God summoned his treasure, and the Eye of Time projected mysterious light once more toward Little Cai.
This time, Little Cai was fully alert.
Her body instantly vanished from its location.
Suddenly, Little Cai abruptly appeared before Zhouming, swinging her tail and striking Zhouming's body with tremendous force.
An absolute colossal power shook Zhouming's Creator God body, sending him flying backward.
Meanwhile, Little Cai opened her massive mouth and inhaled powerfully.
A terrifying suction force instantly erupted, enveloping the Eye of Time.
The Eye of Time resembled a candy bean as it vanished into Little Cai's enormous mouth within a single breath.
Her massive mouth seemed like an abyss—anything swallowed within instantly severed its causal connection with its owner!
Zhouming's eyes nearly burst from their sockets. His newly repaired creation treasure had just been severed from his perception, fresh and glistening!
Suddenly, two beams of temporal power erupted from Little Cai's eyes, immobilizing Sifang Creator God and Yaxia Creator God just as they were about to take action!
Little Cai had actually assimilated and utilized what she had just consumed immediately after swallowing it!
