Tragic! Lamentable!

Lin Tian's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he did not know what to say.

Lin Tian gazed at the two supreme treasures floating before him, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

They exuded a mysterious and captivating aura, as though they possessed endless power and wisdom.

Who would have thought that these two supreme treasures were rare relics left behind from the legendary Primordial Chaos Era?

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

Their value and might were impossible to estimate. They could be called treasures countless powerful cultivators dreamed of obtaining.

Yet no one had expected that two such precious supreme treasures would fall into the hands of those two through an accidental stroke of fate.

The news spread without wings and quickly drew the attention of others.

Upon hearing the news, those with ulterior motives revealed their greedy faces and eyed the two supreme treasures covetously.

Finally, one day, several others could no longer suppress the desires in their hearts and brazenly made their move to seize them.

In order to break through into the legendary Primordial Chaos Supreme Realm, these people spared no cost and even resorted to murder and robbery.

For a time, the once-peaceful situation instantly became utter chaos, with bloodshed and slaughter filling the entire space.

The fierce battle continued for a long time. Both sides fought with everything they had and refused to yield.

In the end, the brutal struggle ended with both sides badly wounded.

Some of those who participated died on the spot, while others suffered severe injuries and clung to life by a thread.

Lin Tian could not help letting out a deep sigh. "It truly fits that saying—if one hears the Dao in the morning, one may die that evening without regret!"

He shook his head, his heart full of emotion.

But what had become of the other two severely injured people?

Those two newly advanced Primordial Chaos Saint Venerables had relied on the two supreme treasures to kill five people and seriously injure two. That was enough to show how formidable they were.

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

They were enough to overcome a difference in realms, allowing their wielders to fight several opponents alone without falling behind.

"When will I ever reach their level?"

Lin Tian's heart was filled with incomparable envy. Primordial Chaos!

The very mention of that name inspired shock and reverence.

In the ancient myths and legends of his previous life, Primordial Chaos had been an existence beyond Chaos. The era it represented had been so powerful that it was beyond imagination.

Lin Tian could not help immersing himself in fantasies of that era, secretly pondering: What kind of grand and magnificent spectacle must that era have been?

Countless powerful beings stood side by side, and earthshaking battles erupted one after another. Perhaps any random fierce battle would have been enough to make the entire universe tremble.

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

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

Lin Tian murmured to himself, longing and yearning flickering in his eyes.

However, he soon shook his head and laughed at himself, thinking that he should stop indulging in wild fantasies.

After all, one had to keep one's feet on the ground and move forward step by step.

Since he was already here in the present, he should first deal with what needed to be done before him.

At that moment, Lin Tian seemed to suddenly recall something important, and his expression changed slightly.

"Oh no! I wonder if those two severely injured people are still alive?

"If they survived by chance, and one day discovered that I possess these two rare supreme treasures—the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron—wouldn't they definitely come after me to seize them?"

At that thought, Lin Tian's slightly relaxed nerves instantly tightened again, and he became extremely tense.

However, after calming down and thinking it over, Lin Tian felt that he might be worrying too much.

After all, so much time had already passed. Even Primordial Chaos had shattered and become Chaos, so who could be certain whether those two were still alive?

Perhaps they had long since turned to ashes amid the passage of countless years...

After steadying himself somewhat, Lin Tian let out a long breath and gently beckoned with his right hand.

The two supreme treasures began circling through the air as though summoned, then swiftly shot toward him.

In the blink of an eye, the two supreme treasures landed steadily in his palm.

Lin Tian lowered his head and stared at the two supreme treasures in his hand, his brows knitting slightly.

One of them, the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus, had once been an unparalleled divine object with a full seventy-two grades of petals. Every petal had bloomed with dazzling brilliance and overwhelming majesty.

Unfortunately, after that breathtaking battle, its grade had forcibly dropped by an entire major tier, leaving it with only thirty-six grades now.

Looking at the damaged Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus in his hand, Lin Tian's heart ached so much that he nearly cried.

The sight before him was truly regrettable. Such a powerful supreme treasure had lost its former glory amid the flames of war.

Lin Tian stroked the two supreme treasures, and they exuded an aura of sorrow.

"Don't worry. One day, I will restore you and make you Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures once more, returning your former divine radiance!"

Looking at the supreme treasures emitting mysterious light in his hand, Lin Tian took a deep breath and solemnly made a promise. "Don't worry. When the opportunity comes, I will definitely return you to the rank of Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasures!"

As if they had sensed Lin Tian's unwavering vow, the two supreme treasures trembled slightly, as though responding to him in a special way.

Lin Tian happily prepared to store them inside the Chaos Pearl.

However, no matter how he tried, the two supreme treasures simply could not enter the Chaos Pearl.

"Hm? What is going on? Could it be that they do not want to go inside?"

Lin Tian frowned slightly as he pondered to himself.

Immediately afterward, Lin Tian focused his mind and vaguely sensed the meaning they conveyed—they preferred to remain within his primordial spirit.

Although he did not understand why, since the supreme treasures had such a wish, Lin Tian could only comply.

But just as Lin Tian stored the two supreme treasures inside his primordial spirit, the surrounding space suddenly released a dull roar.

The once-calm space began shaking violently, while savage cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb.

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

Lin Tian's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Tian hurriedly put away the supreme treasures and used a teleportation technique. His body became a streak of light as he raced down the path he had come from.

Time was pressing, and every second seemed incomparably precious. The space collapsed faster and faster, while massive rocks and violent energy crashed down from all directions.

Finally, just before the space completely collapsed, Lin Tian swiftly darted out.

"Whew! That was close. I almost got trapped inside!"

Still shaken, Lin Tian let out a long breath. Fine beads of sweat already covered his forehead.

At that moment, he knew full well that his strength was still weak. If he had rashly fallen into such a dangerous situation, the consequences would have been unimaginable. He might even have been swept into an unknown spatial-temporal turbulence and trapped in a perilous place.

All right, next he needed to find an excellent place where he could refine the supreme treasures in his possession without distraction!

This harvest had been extraordinarily rich, and Lin Tian was incredibly excited. He could not wait to begin refining these treasures so that he could master them as soon as possible.

At this moment, Lin Tian stood quietly above the vast and turbulent Sea of Chaos.

He looked into the distance and saw an endless expanse of sea before him. The place where sea and sky met seemed to conceal limitless mysteries and possibilities.

At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: this place seemed rather good!

Not only was the environment peaceful and secluded, but it was also rarely visited by anyone. He would not need to worry about anyone interrupting his cultivation.

Having made up his mind, Lin Tian immediately sat down cross-legged where he stood.

He took a deep breath, rapidly formed hand seals, and muttered incantations under his breath.

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

The formations echoed one another, forming an indestructible defensive barrier that tightly protected Lin Tian.

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

The supreme treasure emitted mysterious purple radiance all over, like an unparalleled bloom flourishing amid Chaos.

Lin Tian stared at the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus in his hand, excitement flashing through his eyes. Then he closed his eyes and devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the treasure...
