Primordial Chaos Era

"Ugh... this is just too tragic!"

Lin Tian muttered with a face full of frustration. He had originally been counting on scrounging some rare treasures or powerful artifacts off these two fellows.

But 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 surfaced above his head without any warning and began spinning rapidly.

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

Lin Tian was astonished, because he hadn't summoned this pearl at all, so its sudden appearance must have a reason.

The Chaos Pearl shimmered with dazzling light.

Then, it abruptly shot out a brilliant divine beam, shining straight into the void ahead.

In an instant, the previously calm space before him rippled like a stone had been thrown into water, spreading visible rings outward at a rapid pace.

"What's going on? Could there be some hidden space tucked away in here?"

Seeing this, Lin Tian's heart stirred with a glimmer of anticipation, and he mused to himself, "Heh heh, if I can actually get something out of this, then this trip won't be a waste!"

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

Without a second word, Lin Tian stepped inside.

The moment he entered, his gaze was drawn to two objects on the opposite side.

A massive purple lotus spun continuously, and above it, a large cauldron hovered.

Both treasures radiated divine brilliance, and upon closer inspection, golden light flowed across their surfaces.

"This... did I hit the jackpot?"

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

The divine aura emanating from these two treasures was in no way inferior to the Chaos Pearl!

The Chaos Pearl circled between the two treasures, occasionally flashing with light, as if greeting old friends.

After a moment, the Chaos Pearl returned to Lin Tian's body.

"Heh heh, this trip wasn't a waste. I've gained two supreme treasures—looks like my luck is good!"

Lin Tian reached out to collect the two treasures.

The moment his hand touched the lotus petal, a series of images flashed through Lin Tian's mind.

He saw two middle-aged men sitting cross-legged in a pavilion, raising their cups and drinking freely, utterly at ease.

Looking closely, Lin Tian realized these two were none other than the corpses he had just encountered!

"Why am I suddenly seeing their situation?"

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

Was this showing me their memories from when they were alive?

"Brother Luo Li, it's been a few epochs since we last met. Today, we're finally together—you have to drink with me until we're both dead drunk!"

One man laughed heartily, picked up the wine jug, and poured for the man across from him.

The other man stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Brother Dao Tian, it's been so long since we've seen each other. I've missed you dearly. As soon as I came out of seclusion, I came straight to drink with you."

The two chatted back and forth, drinking and talking, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After three rounds of wine, Dao Tian asked Luo Li if he had broken through.

Luo Li shook his head and sighed, "Brother Dao Tian, how could breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Saint Venerable realm be so easy? We've cultivated for several epochs and still remain at the Half-step Primordial Chaos Saint Venerable stage—truly shameful!"

Dao Tian, however, was unconcerned and comforted him, "The Dao follows the heart; the Dao is always present. Brother Luo Li, everything has its destined course. Don't cling to appearances."

Luo Li hadn't expected Dao Tian's understanding of the Dao to surpass his own. He raised his cup, "Brother Dao Tian, though we are both Half-step Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables, I am not your equal!"

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

Dao Tian smiled modestly, "We're equals, haha!"

Then, the two exchanged a knowing smile.

"Dao Tian? Luo Li?"

Those were their names!

Primordial Chaos Saint Venerable?

Searching for the book title won't work—try searching for the author instead. Maybe it just changed names!

What kind of realm is that?

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

Could these people be from the Primordial Chaos Era?

Just as Lin Tian was pondering, the scene shifted, and a new image appeared.

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

Seven figures stood in the void across from Dao Tian and Luo Li, staring them down.

Each of them radiated boundless divine radiance, their overwhelming auras sweeping across the entire heavens and earth.

"Yu Qi, Xin Ziya, Lu Potian, Lao Xi, Zi Yu, Kan Tuanzi, Ling Daozi—I never expected all seven of you to show up. I didn't realize we had such face, that seven esteemed Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables would grace us with your presence!!!"

Dao Tian laughed heartily, but his aura only grew stronger. Faced with such formidable enemies, he showed not a trace of fear.

"Hmph! We can't be bothered to waste words with the two of you. Hand over the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron, or else—die!!!"

Lu Potian's eyes blazed like torches, fixed unyieldingly on Dao Tian and Luo Li, his expression one of relentless determination.

"Haha, what a joke. Treasures go to those fated to claim them. Since these two treasures have fallen into the hands of us brothers, what reason is there to hand them over?"

Luo Li's rebuttal left the others speechless.

But still, they couldn't bear to give up?

These were items of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Realm—it was said that obtaining them could allow one to break through to the Primordial Chaos Supreme Realm!

Who could resist such temptation?

"Since that's the case, words are useless. Everyone, let's attack together. Once we've dealt with them, we'll discuss the distribution of the treasures!"

Seeing this, the others cast aside all hesitation and unleashed their full strength!

The immense power caused the entire space to tremble violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.

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

"Brother Dao Tian, I've long wanted to test this—to see just how great the gap is between us, newly broken through Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables, and these seven veteran ones!"

"Then let's do it!!!"

Dao Tian and Luo Li showed no fear. They summoned the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron.

A great cauldron hovered in the air, carved with unknown beasts, exuding an aura of profound mystery. With one strike of the cauldron, the surrounding space was instantly frozen in time. With another wave, a beam of golden light shot forth, striking one of the enemies, who was sent flying, spitting blood as he crashed to the ground.

As for the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus, it unfolded into a full seventy-two petals, hovering above Dao Tian's head. All attacks around him could not draw near, and with a wave of his hand, those attacks were directly rebounded.

The battle raged for hundreds of rounds. Such was the force of their power that wherever they passed, corpses littered the ground, not a blade of grass grew, and not an inch of land remained untouched.

Lin Tian watched these scenes, his blood boiling!

What kind of power was this?

Their battles tore apart countless spaces and shattered countless timelines.

Then, the scene shifted again.

Now, amidst a ruined structure, Dao Tian and Luo Li stood with their divine light dimmed, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their auras withered.

"Cough, cough... Brother Luo Li, in this battle, we have ultimately prevailed!"

Dao Tian laughed even as he coughed up blood.

"Brother Dao Tian, we killed five and severely wounded two. Though we die, our glory endures!"

Using the Primordial Chaos supreme treasures, they had slain five and gravely injured two—such achievements were enough to look down upon the entire Primordial Chaos!

"A pity we obtained these two Primordial Chaos supreme treasures too recently. Otherwise, we might have contended for the position of Primordial Chaos Supreme!"

Now, the two of them were utterly spent, clinging to life with only their last breath.

With those words, Dao Tian's breath ceased, and he died!

"Brother Dao Tian!!!"

Luo Li was overcome with grief. Then, with his final breath, he sealed the two supreme treasures in another space, awaiting a fated one to open them.

Having done this, Luo Li was content, and he too breathed his last!

The scene ended there!!!
