"How many epochs has it been? I have finally waited for a living being to enter!"
Ling Daozi was deeply moved, tears glistening in his eyes.
Back then, he and the other six Primordial Chaos Supremes had jointly besieged Dao Tian and Luo Li, who possessed two Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures.
Unfortunately, the power of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures was immense, and Dao Tian and Luo Li had forcibly bound the treasures with their own essence blood.
Thus, they could unleash a portion of the treasures' might.
Originally, this battle was a sure victory; they had even discussed in front of Dao Tian and Luo Li how to divide the two treasures afterward.
But things did not go as planned.
In the end, they suffered a crushing defeat—some died, others were wounded.
Even he himself was reduced to a mere remnant soul.
He had hidden within his own Primordial Chaos Sacred Sword.
Otherwise, his fate would have been the same as Yu Qi's before him—annihilation of both form and spirit.
Yet, after so many epochs, he had recovered not a bit.
He had once investigated and found this place to be a sealed space.
Even the floating Primordial Chaos Purple Qi in the air could not be used by him.
It seemed there was something wrong with his remnant soul.
This infuriated him to no end.
Every time he thought of it, he cursed Dao Tian and Luo Li, calling them unworthy scoundrels.
If not for them, how could he have fallen to such a state?
In his heart, he was deeply wary of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures.
Alas, he lacked the fortune; the treasures were not meant for him!
Lin Tian watched the weeping remnant soul, seemingly lost in its memories.
So, he turned to flee.
He only wanted to leave this place quickly—who knew what intentions this being had toward him?
"Boy, where do you think you're going?"
A stern voice rang out, halting Lin Tian's movement.
Having taken only two steps, Lin Tian could only force an awkward smile.
"Ahem... Senior, this junior greets you. Might I ask what guidance you have?"
Ling Daozi wore a smile as he looked at Lin Tian, a strange glint in his eyes.
"Boy, this old Daoist has been here for who knows how many epochs. Now, you are the first living being to arrive. Let me ask you—how many Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables remain in the Primordial Chaos today? And which are the most powerful factions?"
Lin Tian was taken aback. Why is he asking me this?
Does he not know that the Primordial Chaos has shattered and this is now the Chaos Era?
Lin Tian was puzzled, then recalled that this man had said he had been here for countless epochs, so he likely truly did not know.
"Senior, the Primordial Chaos shattered countless epochs ago. Now it is the Chaos Era. There are no so-called Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables. Today, the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods hold sway!"
Lin Tian was highly vigilant. For a figure from the Primordial Chaos Era, especially one with grudges against Dao Tian and Luo Li, he had to tread carefully.
Ling Daozi was utterly stunned at these words, his eyes filled with disbelief. His Primordial Spirit aura erupted, and in an instant, the surroundings seemed to crack and quake, shaking violently.
Caught off guard, Lin Tian was flung thousands of miles away by this force.
The entire continent fractured everywhere, dust and smoke billowing. Lightning and thunder tore through the void, striking the land repeatedly, leaving a scene of devastation.
Lin Tian was astonished. Even as a mere remnant soul, Ling Daozi's Primordial Spirit power was so terrifying that it could shake the entire continent and affect its surroundings.
How terrifying must a figure from the Primordial Chaos Era be? It was unimaginable what his full strength was like!

Lin Tian's heart churned with emotion!
He had tried before, but his own destructive power was not this formidable. Even when unleashing his full strength, his range was only tens of thousands of miles.
This alone proved that even in a remnant soul state, this being's power remained immense!
"I have waited so many epochs, only to face such an outcome! I will not accept this! Dao Tian, Luo Li—I will have you dead!"
Ling Daozi roared incessantly, his terrifying aura erupting once more.
Lin Tian, being the closest, was struck again by this overwhelming force. In an instant, he could no longer hold on and channeled his internal energy to resist.
The Chaos Pearl, Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus, and Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron within him all sensed Lin Tian's crisis. They emitted divine light, and streams of strange power surged into Lin Tian's body, helping him withstand this force!
Having vented his fury, Ling Daozi calmed down again.
Everything around fell silent once more.
Ling Daozi's gaze was filled with desolation. He sighed. "I never expected Primordial Chaos to shatter. Could it be because of that great war back then? Have all my former Dao companions vanished?"
Then Ling Daozi turned his gaze back to Lin Tian, staring intently at him.
Lin Tian felt a chill run down his spine under that stare, uncertain what Ling Daozi was thinking.
"Senior looks at this junior so fixedly—might there be some matter?"
Ling Daozi clicked his tongue twice, his expression full of disdain. "Judging by the fluctuations of your aura, you, a Chaos Creature, aren't much in terms of cultivation, are you?"
Lin Tian was left speechless by the jab. He thought to himself, You're a being from the Primordial Chaos era, and you're calling my cultivation low as a Chaos Creature?
I can't even argue back, because it's the truth!
Lin Tian could only force a smile, an awkward laugh. "Senior's cultivation is profound, your Dharma power boundless—what you say is absolutely right!"
Ling Daozi continued, "Now that Primordial Chaos has shattered and my Dao companions are no more, I have no wish to linger in this world. I am but a remnant soul, unwilling to let my legacy be cut off. Very well. Since you are the first to arrive here, it is fate. Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"
Lin Tian was taken aback. Pass on his techniques to me?
Then a strange expression crossed his face. The way that old man looked at me just now was clearly full of greed and desire!
Lin Tian sensed something was off and politely declined. "Senior, this junior's strength is too meager to bear your generous favor. It would be better to leave this inheritance for someone else!"
Ling Daozi was astonished. My techniques, though not the very top tier, are still at the Primordial Chaos level. And this mere Chaos Creature before me doesn't covet them?
"Why? My techniques are all from the Primordial Chaos era. Moreover, I was once a Primordial Chaos Saint Venerable—only a handful in the entire Primordial Chaos Realm were my equals!"
Ling Daozi voiced the doubt in his heart.
"Senior, this junior knows his limits. I do not seek invincibility in cultivation, only freedom and ease!"
Lin Tian spoke in a low, steady voice, neither servile nor arrogant.
"Ha ha, well said, boy. What a pity..."
Ling Daozi sighed with emotion. Back in his day, to pursue the heights of cultivation, he had exhausted every scheme, scrambling everywhere for cultivation resources and seizing Spiritual Treasures!
Because he understood one truth: if you are not strong, others will kill you!
The weak are prey to the strong—that is an unchanging law!
Lin Tian was puzzled. A pity?
What a pity?
Suddenly, just as Lin Tian was lost in thought, Ling Daozi's form flickered, turning into a streak of light that drilled into Lin Tian's body.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
Lin Tian hadn't expected Ling Daozi to be so shameless, barging into his body without so much as a word.
Ling Daozi's triumphant laughter echoed from Lin Tian's sea of consciousness. "Boy, did you really think I wanted you to accept my inheritance? How naive! I have waited for so many epochs, finally finding a living being to come here—would I let you go? I will seize your body! And recreate my glory!"
Lin Tian's mind jolted. Just as I thought!
"So Senior's true intent was to take over my body?"
Everything had been within Lin Tian's expectations!
