The [Balancing Work and Rest] trait displayed a Chaos color, its faint gray light shining within the Origin Space, instantly increasing Su Yuan's comprehension speed of Dao Principles by ten thousand times! And this was just the basic cultivation effect! Without consuming any Chaos Time or Dao Source, his enlightenment speed was already ten thousand times faster! If paired with Dao Source and consuming Chaos Time, his cultivation effect would absolutely rise to an astonishingly incredible level. But at present, he had no Dao Source left. His Chaos Time was also quite brief! Only seven breaths! "So after all that, Seven Stars Chaos has only breathed seven times?" Su Yuan stared dumbfounded at the duration on the trait panel, his mind filled with question marks. Within Seven Stars Chaos, billions of years, endless time had already passed! Chaos Demon Gods had already been born, grown, some had even opened up worlds, and within those worlds, billions of years had also passed. However, on the scale of Chaos, Seven Stars Chaos had only passed seven breaths of time, meaning it had only breathed seven times! All the total matter, total energy, and total Dao Principle power of the entire Seven Stars Chaos came from these seven breaths, so in reality, Seven Stars Chaos was extremely immature, the gap was simply too vast! He was very curious about exactly how many years had passed in Primordial Chaos. He had two observation targets: the Lord of the Nine Void and the Heavenly Dao! The Dao Realm Heavenly Dao was currently in a state of severe weakness and injury. Although it had reached the level of an eleventh-stage Dao Lord, it wasn't impossible to peek at it a little! Su Yuan tentatively attempted to observe the Heavenly Dao within Primordial Chaos. The Chaos trait [Balancing Work and Rest] granted Su Yuan the ability to observe the Chaos Time of others! Thus, he saw the information of the Heavenly Dao. [Name]: Heavenly Fate Child · Heavenly Dao [Realm]: Eleventh-stage Dao Lord [Chaos Time]: Seventy million breaths To Su Yuan's surprise, it turned out Primordial Chaos had also only breathed seventy million times! Although this was only part of the information gleaned from observing the Heavenly Dao, it wasn't far off, at most a bit more time. Of course, there was still a massive chasm between Seven Stars Chaos and Primordial Chaos. While the difference in breath count seemed to be only a hundred million times, the disparity in sheer scale was incalculable. Because each breath's foundation was infinitely superimposed upon the growth of the previous one. Even if it only doubled each time, doubling seventy million times was still an infinite number. "How can I seize the Chaos Time from the Heavenly Dao?" Su Yuan set his sights on the Heavenly Dao's Chaos Time. For him, this was also an important cultivation resource, even comparable to Dao Source. But obviously, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't let him plunder it easily. He thought of the Transaction Dao Principle. "Forget it, let's look at others first!" Su Yuan didn't want to trade for Chaos Time with the Heavenly Dao or the Lord of the Nine Void. The strength of these two was already very close to that of a Chaos Dominator. Su Yuan found the Netherdark Dao Venerable and arrived at his courtyard. "Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, what brings you to seek me out today?" the Netherdark Dao Venerable asked, puzzled. Su Yuan chuckled. "Do you know that Daochu City is about to face a great calamity?" "Great calamity?" This term, for the Netherdark Dao Venerable, could be said to be right within his professional scope. He immediately began to deduce using the Calamity Dao Principle. Very quickly, he felt a sense of obstruction, as if some force was preventing him from deducing the outcome. Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw invisible Dao Principle power forming shackles, restricting the Netherdark Dao Venerable's deduction. These shackles came from between heaven and earth, from the Dao Realm itself, from the subconscious actions of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao's consciousness was currently in a state of slumber and recovery;this obstruction was merely instinct. Su Yuan immediately took action, using the Causality Dao Principle as a sword to slash at those shackles. The sword and shackles collided, producing a distant, reverberating sound. Dream-like clinking sounds echoed in the ears of Su Yuan and the Netherdark Dao Venerable. Cracks appeared on the shackles, slowly breaking apart. The Netherdark Dao Venerable glanced around in surprise, then calmed his mind and continued deducing the calamity. As shackle after shackle broke. The Netherdark Dao Venerable's frown deepened, and his expression grew increasingly grave. Finally, when the last shackle was severed by Su Yuan. The Netherdark Dao Venerable opened his eyes with an extremely grim expression. "The calamity has arrived. A ninth-stage Dao Lord Chaos Phantom is about to lead a full three hundred and fifty-eight Dao Lords to attack Daochu City. Among them are four eighth-stage Dao Lords and sixteen sixth-stage Dao Lords! There are even dozens of fourth-stage Dao Lords! Daochu City cannot hold!" The Netherdark Dao Venerable's brow was tightly furrowed, his face gloomy to the extreme. Su Yuan, however, chuckled. "Fellow Daoist, don't panic. How much time remains?" "From the deduction results, after one more Kalpa, they will be able to form a sure-kill situation!" "One Kalpa?" Su Yuan was surprised. "The time is that long?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 One Kalpa equals 6.4 billion Yuan Assemblies, and one Yuan Assembly is 129,600 years. "Long? That amount of time is too short!" the Netherdark Dao Venerable sighed. "For Dao Lords to traverse the entire Dao Realm, it wouldn't take even a few hundred years. Why would there be a whole Kalpa of time?" Su Yuan asked. The Netherdark Dao Venerable frowned, realizing that indeed, as Su Yuan said, a Kalpa of time was far too long! "Perhaps my deduction result was interfered with. It might be less than one Yuan Assembly!" The Netherdark Dao Venerable grew even more grave. "You came to find me today to ask me to escape together?" "Escape to where? The entire Dao Realm is nothing but a cage. United, there's still a chance to resist. If scattered, defeat is certain!" Su Yuan said calmly. "How can we resist this?" the Netherdark Dao Venerable sighed. "Do you know that the Lord of the Nine Void is an eighth-stage Dao Lord? Not far from the ninth stage!" Su Yuan suddenly stated. "What?" the Netherdark Dao Venerable exclaimed in shock. He was so startled he couldn't control his expression. "And I am now also a sixth-stage Dao Lord!" Su Yuan added. Su Yuan directly released his Dao Principle pressure! "Hiss!" The Netherdark Dao Venerable suddenly felt as if his worldview had been shattered. "You... have hidden yourselves too deeply!" the Netherdark Dao Venerable said weakly. "Do you want to improve like us? As long as there is enough Dao Source, it's not a difficult matter! Your foundation is very solid, and you have comprehended many Dao Principles, you just haven't integrated them into yourself!" The Netherdark Dao Venerable smiled bitterly. "But I don't have many treasures left to trade. Fellow Daoist Seven Stars, it seems your idea is doomed!" Su Yuan shook his head at this point. "No, you have something that can be exchanged for Dao Source! This thing is formless and intangible, but I can strip it from you, turning it into a resource!"
