Primordial Chaos Era

"Uh... this is way too tragic!"

Lin Tian muttered with a gloomy expression. He had originally been planning to loot some rare treasures or powerful artifacts from those two.

Who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, they would simply dissipate?

Just then, something unexpected happened—the Chaos Pearl inside Lin Tian's body appeared above his head without warning and began spinning rapidly.

"Hm? Chaos Pearl, why did you come out on your own? Did you sense something unusual?"

Lin Tian was greatly surprised. He had not summoned the pearl at all, so there had to be a reason for it to appear on its own.

The Chaos Pearl gleamed with a dazzling radiance.

Then, it abruptly fired an incomparably brilliant divine beam straight into the void ahead.

In an instant, the previously calm space rippled as though a stone had been cast into water. Rings of visible waves spread rapidly outward.

"What's going on? Could there be another hidden space inside?"

Seeing this, Lin Tian could not help feeling a trace of anticipation. He secretly thought, Hehe, if I can get something out of this, then this trip won't have been for nothing!

As time passed, the space ahead finally slowly revealed its true form—a small independent space quietly emerged.

Without another word, Lin Tian stepped inside.

The moment he entered, Lin Tian's gaze was drawn to the two items opposite him.

A massive purple lotus spun continuously, while a great cauldron hovered above it.

Both treasures emitted divine radiance, and upon closer inspection, golden light flowed across their surfaces.

"Th-this... I've struck it rich?"

Lin Tian's eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

The divine aura emitted by these two treasures was no weaker than that of the Chaos Pearl!

The Chaos Pearl circled continuously between the two treasures, flashing from time to time as though greeting old friends.

A moment later, the Chaos Pearl returned to Lin Tian's body.

"Hehe, this trip really wasn't in vain. I got two supreme treasures—looks like my luck is pretty good!"

Lin Tian reached out, preparing to collect the two treasures.

The instant Lin Tian touched one of the lotus petals, a scene flashed through his mind.

Two middle-aged men sat cross-legged in a pavilion, raising their cups and drinking heartily, looking utterly carefree.

Looking closely, Lin Tian realized that these two were the very corpses he had encountered earlier.

"Why am I suddenly seeing what happened to them?"

Lin Tian was deeply puzzled. Could they have been the owners of these two treasures?

Were they showing him memories from before their deaths?

"Brother Luo Li, we haven't seen each other for several epochs. It's rare for us to meet today, so you must drink with me until neither of us can stand!"

One of the men laughed loudly, picked up a wine jug, and poured wine for the man across from him.

The other man stroked his beard and smiled faintly. "Brother Dao Tian, we have not met for a long time. I have missed you greatly. The moment I came out of seclusion, I came to find you for a drink."

The two chatted as they drank, thoroughly at ease.

After several rounds of drinks, Dao Tian asked Luo Li whether he had broken through.

Luo Li shook his head and sighed. "Brother Dao Tian, how could the Primordial Chaos Saint Venerable realm be so easy to break through? We have cultivated bitterly for several epochs, yet we remain Half-step Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables. What a shame!"

Dao Tian did not mind at all and consoled him, "The Dao follows the heart, and the Dao is ever-present. Brother Luo Li, everything has its destined course. Do not become attached."

Luo Li had not expected Dao Tian's understanding of the Dao to surpass even his own. He raised his cup and said, "Brother Dao Tian, though you and I are both Half-step Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables, I am inferior to you!"

With that, Luo Li drained his cup in one gulp.

Dao Tian smiled modestly. "We're about the same, haha!"

The two then looked at each other and smiled.

"Dao Tian? Luo Li?"

Those were their names!

Primordial Chaos Saint Venerable?

What kind of realm was that?

But from their conversation, it was clear that realm was incredibly powerful.

Could these people have been from the Primordial Chaos Era?

As Lin Tian pondered this, the scene flickered and changed again.

"Dao Tian, Luo Li, hand over the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Cauldron, and we will consider sparing your lives!"

Seven figures stood in the void opposite Dao Tian and Luo Li, staring at them.

Each of them radiated endless divine light, their powerful auras sweeping across heaven and earth.

"Yu Qi, Xin Ziya, Lu Potian, Lao Xi, Zi Yu, Kan Tuanzi, Ling Daozi. I never thought all seven of you would come. I never thought we were important enough for seven dignified Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables to come here!!!"

Dao Tian burst into laughter, but his aura grew even stronger. Faced with such formidable enemies, he showed no fear whatsoever.

"Hmph! I can't be bothered wasting words on you two. Hand over the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron, or die!!!"

Lu Potian's gaze was blazing as he stared fixedly at Dao Tian and Luo Li, looking utterly determined not to let the matter rest.

"Haha, what a joke. Treasures belong to those fated to obtain them. Since my brother and I obtained these two treasures, why should we hand them over?"

Luo Li's retort left everyone speechless.

But they did not want to give up.

These were treasures of the Primordial Chaos Supreme. It was said that obtaining them would allow one to break through to the Primordial Chaos Supreme Realm!

Who could resist such temptation?

"Since that is the case, there is no point talking further. Everyone, let's attack together. Once we deal with them, we can discuss the ownership of the treasures!"

At this point, they no longer held back and all unleashed their strength!

The immense power made the entire space tremble violently, as though it would shatter the next instant.

"Brother Luo Li, it seems we'll be fighting side by side today!"

"Brother Dao Tian, I've long wanted to test this. Let's see how great the gap is between us, newly advanced Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables, and these seven veteran Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables!"

"Then come on!!!"

Dao Tian and Luo Li showed no fear at all as they brought out the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron.

The great cauldron spun through the air, engraved with unknown beasts and shrouded in mystery. With one strike, it instantly froze the surrounding space and time. With another wave, a beam of golden light shot forth and struck one of their enemies, sending him flying as he crashed to the ground and coughed up blood.

The Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus unfolded into seventy-two petals and hovered above Dao Tian's head. No attack could approach him, and with a wave of Dao Tian's hand, those attacks were reflected directly back.

The battle raged for hundreds of exchanges. Wherever their power reached, corpses lay everywhere, not a blade of grass survived, and not an inch of land remained intact.

Lin Tian's blood boiled as he watched those scenes!

What terrifying power was that?

Their battle tore apart countless spaces and shattered countless time streams.

Then the scene changed once more.

Amid a ruined structure, the divine light around Dao Tian and Luo Li had dimmed. Blood seeped from the corners of their mouths, and their auras were weak.

"Cough, cough... Brother Luo Li, we won this battle in the end!"

Dao Tian laughed as he coughed up blood.

"Brother Dao Tian, we killed five and severely wounded two. Even in death, we have no regrets!"

Using the Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures, they had slain five enemies and severely wounded two more. Such a record was enough to stand proud over all Primordial Chaos!

"What a pity. We obtained these two Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures too recently. Otherwise, we might even have fought for the position of Primordial Chaos Supreme!"

By now, both of them were at the end of their strength, barely holding on with their last breath.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Tian breathed his last!

"Brother Dao Tian!!!"

Luo Li was overwhelmed with grief. Then, with his final breath, he sealed the two supreme treasures away in another space, waiting for a fated person to open it.

Having done all this, Luo Li died contentedly as well!

And with that, the scene ended!!!
