Yes.
What was there to fight over?
What was there to fight?
Of those beings who had once dominated the world, commanded the Myriad Dao, and stood at the pinnacle of the Era, how many were still left?
Had it not also fallen to this state?
It did not even have a complete body, and could only cling to a statue, barely clinging to life as it waited in slumber for its final demise.
At that thought, Dark Erosion let out a deep, hoarse whimper from its throat.
There was no longer any brutality or killing intent in that sound.
Only... endless weariness and deep sorrow.
And longing for the glories of the past...
The phantom of the Dao Lord Yuan quietly watched it. A trace of complexity seemed to flash across his blurred features as well.
After a long while, he finally spoke softly, his voice gentler than before:
"This boy..."
He turned slightly and looked toward Lu Chen behind him.
"He is my inheritor."
"He is also the only person in this Era to obtain my complete Dao lineage."
"He bears great fortune, possesses a tenacious temperament, and has an unwavering Dao heart. His future... is limitless."
Dark Erosion suddenly raised its head, its hollow eye sockets once again "fixing" on Lu Chen.
Terrifying pressure descended once more!
This time, it was even more concentrated and even heavier!
Lu Chen grunted. His spine creaked under the pressure, his legs weakened, and his knees bent, almost forcing him to kneel!
But he clenched his teeth and forcefully held his back straight!
The veins on his forehead bulged, every muscle in his body tensed to its limit, and Chaos Saint Power surged madly as he resisted that mountain-like pressure!
He could not kneel!
Absolutely... not!!!
I, Lu Chen, can die
