Lin Tian's heart was a tangled mess of emotions; he didn't know what to say.

His eyes, full of complexity, fixed on the two supreme treasures floating before him in the air.

They radiated a mysterious and captivating divine aura, as if possessing boundless power and wisdom.

He hadn't expected that these two treasures were actually rare relics left behind from the legendary Primordial Chaos Era.

One had to know that even in that distant Primordial Chaos period, these two treasures stood at the very pinnacle of existence.

Their value and might were incalculable—truly the dream of countless powerhouses.

Yet no one could have imagined that such precious treasures would fall into the hands of two people by sheer accident.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly catching the attention of others.

Those with ill intentions, upon hearing this, revealed greedy faces, eyeing the two treasures with predatory intent.

Finally, one day, the others could no longer suppress their desires and brazenly struck to seize them.

These people, desperate to break through to the legendary Primordial Chaos Supreme Realm, would stop at nothing, even resorting to murder and robbery without scruple.

In an instant, the once-peaceful situation descended into chaos, blood and Slaughter filling the entire space.

The fierce battle dragged on for a long time, both sides giving their all, refusing to yield.

In the end, this brutal struggle ended in mutual destruction.

Some of those who fought fell on the spot, while others were gravely wounded, barely clinging to life.

Lin Tian couldn't help but let out a deep sigh: "It's just as they say—'In the morning, hear the Way; in the evening, die content!'"

He shook his head, his heart full of emotion.

But what about those two severely injured people? How were they doing?

Those two newly ascended Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables, relying on the two treasures, had managed to kill five and gravely wound two—that alone proved their strength.

It also proved the power of the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron.

Enough to transcend ranks, allowing them to fight several opponents at once without falling behind.

"When will I ever reach their level?"

Lin Tian's heart brimmed with intense envy. Primordial Chaos!

Just the appearance of that name stirred a sense of shock and awe.

In the ancient myths and legends of his past life, Primordial Chaos was something beyond Chaos itself, and the era it represented was unimaginably powerful.

Lin Tian couldn't help but sink into reverie about that age, pondering to himself: What kind of magnificent, breathtaking scene must that era have been?

Countless powerhouses standing tall, earth-shattering battles erupting one after another—any single clash would probably make the entire universe tremble.

"Sigh, why can't this Chaos Pearl take me to the Primordial Chaos Era?

If I could personally witness that astonishing battle, that world-destroying power—how thrilling and unforgettable an experience that would be!"

Lin Tian muttered to himself, a gleam of longing and desire flickering in his eyes.

But soon, he shook his head and laughed at himself, thinking he should stop daydreaming.

After all, everything required a solid foundation, step by step.

Now that he was here in this place, he should first handle what was right in front of him.

Just then, as if remembering something important, Lin Tian's expression shifted slightly.

"Ah! Those two gravely wounded people from before—I wonder if they're still alive?

If they managed to survive and one day sensed that I possess these two rare treasures—the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron—wouldn't they surely come to snatch them?"

At this thought, Lin Tian's briefly relaxed nerves tightened again, his mood growing exceptionally tense.

But after calming down a bit, he felt he might be worrying too much.

After all, so much time had passed that even Primordial Chaos had shattered into Chaos—who could say whether those two were still alive?

Perhaps they had long since turned to ashes in the endless years...

After steadying himself, Lin Tian let out a long breath, then raised his right hand and beckoned lightly.

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

The two treasures, as if summoned, began to circle in the air and swiftly flew toward him.

In the blink of an eye, they landed steadily in his palm.

Lin Tian lowered his head to gaze at the treasures in his hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

One of them, called the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus, had once been a divine object with a full seventy-two petals, each radiating dazzling brilliance and overwhelming majesty.

But unfortunately, after that heart-stopping battle, its grade had been forcibly reduced by a major rank, leaving it with only thirty-six petals.

Looking at the damaged Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus in his hand, Lin Tian's heart ached so much he could almost cry.

The sight before him was truly regrettable—such a powerful treasure had lost its former glory in the flames of war.

Lin Tian stroked the two treasures, and they emanated a sorrowful aura.

"Don't worry. One day, I will restore you to Primordial Chaos supreme treasures and bring back your former glory!"

Gazing at the treasures radiating a mysterious light in his hands, Lin Tian took a deep breath and solemnly made a vow: "Rest assured, when the time comes, I will surely return you to the Primordial Chaos supreme treasure level!"

As if sensing Lin Tian's steadfast oath, the two treasures trembled faintly, as though responding to him in a unique way.

Overjoyed, Lin Tian prepared to store them inside the Chaos Pearl.

Yet no matter how he tried, the two treasures simply refused to enter the Chaos Pearl.

"Hmm? What's going on? Are they unwilling to go in?"

Lin Tian frowned slightly, pondering silently to himself.

Then, concentrating his mind, he vaguely sensed the intention they conveyed—they preferred to reside within his Primordial Spirit.

Though puzzled, since the treasures had such a wish, Lin Tian could only comply.

But the moment he absorbed the two treasures into his Primordial Spirit, a dull rumbling suddenly erupted from the space around him.

The once-calm surroundings began to tremble violently, and jagged cracks spread like a spiderweb.

"Not good! This space is about to collapse!"

Lin Tian's face changed drastically as he cried out in alarm.

Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly secured the treasures, activated his teleportation technique, and transformed into a streak of light, racing back along the path he had come.

Time was pressing; every second was precious. The space collapsed faster and faster, with massive boulders and violent energy crashing down from all directions.

Finally, just before the space completely caved in, Lin Tian moved with sharp reflexes, flashing outward in a single bound.

"Whew! That was close—I nearly got trapped inside!"

Lin Tian let out a long, relieved breath, his forehead already beaded with fine sweat.

At this moment, he deeply understood that his strength was still lacking. If he recklessly fell into such a perilous situation, the consequences would be unimaginable—he might even be swept into an unknown temporal vortex and land in danger.

Alright, next up was to find an ideal location where he could focus without distraction on meticulously refining the treasures in his hands!

This harvest had been extraordinarily bountiful. Lin Tian's heart surged with excitement, and he couldn't wait to begin refining these treasures immediately, hoping to master them as soon as possible.

Right now, Lin Tian stood silently on the vast, surging Sea of Chaos.

He gazed into the distance, seeing only an endless expanse of ocean where water and sky merged, as if hiding boundless mysteries and possibilities.

Just then, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: This place seemed quite suitable!

Not only was the environment serene and secluded, but it was also far from human traces—no need to worry about anyone disturbing his cultivation.

Decision made, Lin Tian promptly sat down cross-legged on the spot.

He took a deep breath, swiftly formed hand seals, and murmured incantations under his breath.

In the blink of an eye, several dazzling beams of light shot from his fingertips, weaving into multiple powerful arrays around him.

These arrays resonated with one another, forming an impenetrable protective barrier that tightly shielded Lin Tian.

After completing this, Lin Tian carefully took out the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus.

This treasure radiated a mysterious purple glow, like a peerless bloom unfurling amidst chaos.

Gazing at the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus in his hand, a glint of excitement flashed in Lin Tian's eyes. Then he closed his own, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the process of refining the treasure...
