Sea of Chaos

Lin Tian did not choose to enter seclusion and cultivate. Instead, he resolutely headed into the mysterious, unfathomable depths of Chaos.

In the past, because his strength had been too low, he had been filled with fear toward the depths of Chaos and had not dared to venture into them lightly.

But times had changed. Lin Tian had now reached the peak of the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and believed he possessed enough power to protect himself.

Along the way, Lin Tian occasionally encountered scattered Purple Qi Great Cocoons.

These great cocoons floated silently within Chaos, absorbing the surrounding Chaos Qi.

But Lin Tian did not disturb them and simply went around them.

Not only that, he also encountered several Chaos Beast Forms that had yet to be born.

The outlines of these beast forms were vague, yet they faintly radiated powerful auras.

Lin Tian merely observed them from afar before continuing onward.

During this time, Lin Tian also gained some rewards.

He discovered quite a few Spiritual Treasures and other valuables, though most were only Low-grade Chaos grade.

Although these treasures were not particularly high-grade, they were still Chaos Spiritual Treasures. Compared with the common Innate Spiritual Treasures of later ages, they were far more powerful.

Thus, Lin Tian unceremoniously swept them all up.

As he walked, a strange sight suddenly appeared ahead—a boundless ocean came into view.

Though it was called an ocean, it was actually a liquid entity condensed from Chaos Qi, showing just how dense the spiritual energy here was.

Yet surprisingly, this place was suffused with intense Fierce Fiend Qi.

Even with Lin Tian's profound cultivation, he found the aura somewhat difficult to withstand.

He could not help but wonder, "What exactly is going on? Why is there such a terrifying aura here?"

Lin Tian stood quietly to one side, an indescribable sense of oppression rising within him.

That suffocatingly powerful aura surged toward him endlessly like a tidal wave, as though an invisible mountain were pressing down upon his body.

Although he had already reached the peak of the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, a level of cultivation that would be honored as the peak of a Saint in later ages,

he still could not help feeling somewhat nervous and uneasy when faced with such a terrifying aura.

He secretly pondered, What kind of power could possibly emit such a horrifying aura?

For even a powerhouse like him to feel fear and break out in a cold sweat, this place must conceal some enormous secret or danger unknown to others.

At that thought, Lin Tian took a deep breath, striving to calm the turmoil in his heart as he secretly circulated all his mana.

Only after a moment did Lin Tian let out a long breath.

"There is definitely a huge secret inside. Perhaps I can find out why this place has such a strange aura!"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian gritted his teeth. "Damn it, I'll risk it!"

With a wave of his hand, the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Sword, emerged.

Lin Tian held the Chaos Sword as powerful mana surged forth, and he also brought out numerous Spiritual Treasures he had found in Chaos.

Sky-Breaking Armor.

Exquisite Pearl.

Bin Tian Umbrella.

Various defensive Spiritual Treasures strengthened him one after another.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Tian resolutely stepped forward, advancing step by step into the depths of the Sea of Chaos.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

A strange sound came from all directions, as though countless invisible eyes were spying on him.

As he continued onward, with every step he took, Lin Tian could clearly feel a powerful, violent force crashing toward him like a tide, wildly ravaging his meridians and organs and bringing heart-rending pain.

The overwhelming force caught him off guard, nearly crushing him to the ground.

The defensive Spiritual Treasures around him also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Looking up, he saw clumps of blood-red energy floating in the air.

Like ferocious evil ghosts, they lunged at Lin Tian with bared fangs and claws.

In an instant, Lin Tian saw nothing but crimson as countless fierce attacks rained down upon him like a violent storm.

In only a moment, a streak of blood seeped from the corner of Lin Tian's mouth and ran down his chin.

At the same time, wounds of varying depths appeared across his body, crisscrossing one another as blood poured out and stained his clothes red.

Yet despite such severe injuries, Lin Tian showed no intention of retreating.

He tightly gripped the Chaos Sword in his hand, his gaze incomparably resolute as he secretly thought, If I cannot even endure this little pain, how will I surpass the Great Dao in the future?

At that thought, Lin Tian roared as all the mana in his body surged forth like a breached flood, pouring endlessly into the Chaos Sword.

In an instant, the Chaos Sword bloomed with dazzling divine light, so brilliant that it was impossible to look at directly.

Immediately afterward, Lin Tian swung the Chaos Sword, sending forth a splendid rainbow-like streak of sword light that slashed viciously toward the blood-colored energy.

Although the blood-colored energy was powerful, its numbers were limited.

Under Lin Tian's fierce assault, it gradually could no longer hold out and finally collapsed one after another.

In only a short while, all the blood-colored energy was completely cut down by Lin Tian and vanished without a trace.

Looking at the blood-colored energy that had disappeared, Lin Tian let out a long breath.

Though the battle had been exceptionally difficult, he had at last succeeded in overcoming those terrifying forces.

Still, he knew perfectly well that if anyone else had been present here, they likely would have found it difficult to escape death with their current strength.

After calming himself slightly, Lin Tian raised his foot once more and continued forward.

But just as he took his next step, the scene around him suddenly underwent a drastic change...

He found himself in an unfamiliar space.

Broken walls and ruins surrounded him, all in utter disrepair.

Traces of battle were everywhere.

From time to time, he could even sense powerful lingering auras in the air.

"Where is this? How could something like this appear inside the Sea of Chaos?"

Lin Tian was stunned. Could this be a place where powerhouses from before Chaos had fought?

There had been a saying in his previous life that before Chaos came Primordial Chaos.

Could this place have been left behind by powerhouses from the Primordial Chaos era?

Carrying a nervous heart, he continued walking deeper into the space.

Suddenly, a ruined building appeared in the distance.

Lin Tian walked inside and saw two corpses in the middle of the main hall.

Both looked like middle-aged men. They wore splendid robes, sat cross-legged facing one another, and had their eyes closed.

Judging by their appearance, there was not the slightest wound on their bodies.

Yet their bodies emitted an aura of decay and ruin.

No one knew how long it had been, yet they still remained in this state.

Lin Tian focused his mind and carefully sensed everything around him.

He found no one else.

In the entire space, aside from him, there was not a single living person.

Lin Tian sensed carefully and found that these two had long since lost all signs of life.

"Who exactly were they? They seem to have been dead for a very long time, yet their bodies have not rotted even now. Such strength is simply terrifying!"

Lin Tian could not help muttering to himself.

Although they had died long ago, when Lin Tian approached, he could still clearly feel waves of powerful pressure coming from the corpses.

This was enough to show how terrifyingly strong they had been in life; even after death, they could influence the entire space.

This was simply too frightening!

At that thought, Lin Tian's heart stirred. Such formidable figures must have countless treasures hidden on them, right?

Thus, the corners of his lips curled upward in a sly smile as he secretly considered searching the corpses thoroughly. Perhaps he might obtain an unexpected gain.

Acting immediately, Lin Tian strode forward and reached out to lightly touch one of the corpses.

However, the instant his fingertips touched the corpse, an astonishing scene occurred!

The corpse suddenly transformed into countless shining specks of light, rapidly drifting away like meteors and vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the other corpse beside it seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force and underwent the same change.

It too transformed into specks of light and gradually dissipated into the void.
