Su Qinghe looked into Ling Chen's deep eyes and her heart trembled inexplicably.

Although she couldn't understand what realms "beyond the Dao" and "chaos" meant, she could clearly feel the unshakable determination in the boy's words, as well as the immense ambition hidden beneath his calm exterior that was enough to shake the heavens and the myriad worlds.

"The Chaos God..." she murmured softly, repeating this title she had never heard before, "Is that a higher realm than the Spirit Emperor?"

Ling Chen withdrew his gaze from the sky, his fingertips gently caressing the black token in his arms. The warmth from the token spread from his fingertips to his limbs and bones, slowly merging with the spiritual energy within his body.

"The Eternal Spirit Emperor, who rules over all spirits and controls all the myriad paths of heaven and earth, represents the ultimate peak of cultivation for all living beings. Yet, he is still trapped within the laws of heaven and earth, unable to escape the cycle of reincarnation and the shackles of life and death."

He paused, his eyes surging with golden light, faintly revealing a vast and boundless aura like the beginning of chaos, his tone unwavering: "And the Chaos God, transcending all paths, wields the origin of chaos, creating heaven and earth, shaping all realms, neither born nor dying, impervious to all paths. In my previous life, I ascended to the position of Spirit Emperor, but because I touched upon the taboos of chaos, I suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao and ultimately perished."

This is the truth behind his death in his previous life!

People generally believe that the Eternal Spirit Emperor is supreme, but they do not know that there is an even higher realm above the Spirit Emperor. To break through that barrier, one must defy the rules of heaven and earth and endure unimaginable tribulations.

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe's expression changed slightly, her heart filled with shock.

She never imagined that someone as powerful as the Eternal Spirit Emperor would one day fall, let alone that there was such a terrifying supreme realm in this world.

"Then you will definitely succeed in this life." Su Qinghe raised her eyes, looking at Ling Chen with a firm gaze, her tone full of trust.

Looking into the clear eyes of the woman beside him, Ling Chen felt a slight stirring in his heart. In his previous life, he had ascended to the Spirit Emperor realm alone, without anyone by his side. In this life, he not only wanted to prove the Dao of Chaos, but also to protect those around him.

"Rest assured, the regrets of the past life will never be repeated in this life."

As he finished speaking, the aura of the ninth level of Qi Refining slowly circulated around him. After the battle just now, his control over his own power had become more and more proficient. The power of the Spirit Emperor in the black token was also quietly transforming the foundation of his physical body, laying the most solid foundation for breaking through to higher realms and comprehending the power of chaos in the future.

"The Spirit Emperor's legacy has now been exposed. Although the Xuanjian Sect has temporarily compromised, once the news spreads, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of various forces. We need to leave this place as soon as possible," Ling Chen said calmly, regaining his composure.

Currently, his cultivation is still weak, only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If the major sects or old monsters learn of the Spirit Emperor's inheritance, it will surely bring about his death. The most urgent task is to quickly improve his strength, step by step return to the peak, and then challenge for the position of Chaos God Venerable.

Su Qinghe naturally understood the implications and immediately nodded, "I'll do whatever you say."

Without further delay, the two transformed into two afterimages and sped off into the depths of the mountains and forests.

Behind them, the Xuanjian Sect members stared in the direction Ling Chen had left, remaining motionless for a long time.

The sect leader sighed deeply, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "This child is no ordinary person. With the inheritance of the Spirit Emperor in his hands, he will surely soar to great heights in the future. Our Xuanjian Sect must never be his enemy in the future; on the contrary, we should try our best to befriend him."

The elders beside him echoed his sentiments, their gazes fixed on the direction Ling Chen had departed, filled with deep awe.

Lin Cang, who was lying on the ground, had already been carried away by his disciples. What awaited him was the sect's harshest punishment.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a hidden gaze swept across the area from the depths of the clouds. Upon sensing the lingering aura of the Spirit Emperor, the gaze trembled and vanished without a trace.

A storm that will sweep across the entire cultivation world is quietly brewing.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen had already taken Su Qinghe far away from the place of trouble.

He had already planned his cultivation path: first, to stabilize his Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivation and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. With the cultivation experience of the Spirit Emperor and the Chaos Dao Heart, his breakthrough speed would far exceed that of ordinary people. Then, he would search for Chaos Spiritual Objects, gradually awaken the Chaos Inheritance hidden in the black token, improve his cultivation while avoiding crises from all sides, and sweep away all obstacles.

The Eternal Spirit Emperor is just the beginning.

The Chaos God is the ultimate destination!

Ling Chen raised his eyes to look at the endless sky, his eyes filled with golden light and chaotic energy, and his whole body exuded a fierce fighting spirit.

In this life, he will shatter all the myriad paths of the heavens, surpass the peak of his previous life, and use the foundation of the Spirit Emperor to forge the position of the Chaos God, making the entire myriad realms submit to his feet!

The two sped along, avoiding the traces of cultivators in the mountains and forests, until they stopped in a secluded valley at sunset.

The valley is surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation. Although the spiritual energy is not as strong as that in the cave, it is secluded and difficult to be discovered.

Ling Chen found a clean stone platform, gestured for Su Qinghe to wait aside, and then sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating.

Using the Spirit Emperor's Devouring Claw during the day, though seemingly effortless, actually consumed a significant amount of his spiritual energy. More importantly, the imperial aura emanating from the black token was now slowly integrating with his newly formed body.

He must quickly gain complete control of this power and solidify his foundation at the ninth level of Qi Refining, making full preparations for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Su Qinghe stood quietly by his side, watching the young man's profile as he meditated with his eyes closed, feeling completely at ease.

For some reason, as long as she was by Ling Chen's side, she felt that no matter what danger she encountered, she could get through it safely.

As night deepened, moonlight filtered through the branches and leaves, casting a soft glow upon Ling Chen.

Suddenly, his aura shifted slightly.

Within his dantian, spiritual energy surged forth like rivers flowing into the sea. The black token vibrated gently in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a wisp of royal aura, even purer than before, slowly flowed out and merged into his meridians.

In his previous life, he was the Eternal Spirit Emperor. He knew every meridian and every inch of his flesh and blood like the back of his hand. Even after being reborn, his cultivation path was as smooth as flowing water.

What others need to painstakingly comprehend and overcome bottlenecks to achieve, he sees as nothing more than a natural progression.

More importantly, his Dao heart at this moment has already surpassed that of his previous life.

It is no longer merely the heart of the Spirit Emperor who governs all spirits, but the heart of the Divine Sovereign who is moving closer to the origin of chaos.

A faint, almost imperceptible aura of vastness quietly emanated from his body.

That aura was ancient and ethereal, as if it originated from the time before heaven and earth were created and before chaos was divided. It was completely different from the domineering majesty of the Spirit Emperor, but it was more profound and more primal.

Su Qinghe was suddenly startled.

She could clearly sense that Ling Chen's aura had changed.

The overwhelming imperial aura that once dominated the world still existed during the day, but now it possessed an unfathomable, chaotic quality, making those who looked upon it feel as if they were gazing into an abyss, inspiring awe.

"This is..." She was shocked, but dared not utter a sound to disturb her.

Ling Chen slowly opened his eyes, a golden light and a faint grayish-chaotic color flashing in his eyes at the same time before returning to calm.

He raised his hand, and a wisp of air swirled around his fingertips.

That flow of energy belonged neither to spiritual energy nor to the power of an emperor, but was the most primordial chaotic energy.

"In my past life, I exhausted all my efforts and could only touch the edge of chaos. I never thought that after being reborn, I would be able to trigger the aura of the origin of chaos ahead of time by taking advantage of the opportunity to cultivate again," Ling Chen thought to himself.

This is undoubtedly an incredible opportunity.

With the foundation honed by the chaotic energy and guided by the Spirit Emperor's techniques, his future achievements will surely far surpass those of his previous life.

"The barriers of the Foundation Establishment Realm are practically non-existent for me."

Ling Chen stood up, his spiritual energy calm and restrained, his aura even deeper and more profound than during the day.

He can draw upon spiritual energy at any time, break through the shackles, and step into the Foundation Establishment stage, as long as he is willing.

But he was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough.

Haste makes waste. He needs to hone his foundation to an unprecedented level of perfection, breaking through to a higher realm in the most perfect way, paving an invincible path for his future ascent to a higher realm, and even to become a Chaos God.

Seeing that he had finished his cultivation, Su Qinghe stepped forward and said, "Your aura... seems to have become even deeper."

Ling Chen nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "It's just that the foundation is a bit more solid now."

He didn't elaborate on the matter of the chaotic energy, as it was too significant and, if leaked, would trigger a frenzied hunt by the entire cultivation world.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. We'll set off for Wanbaoge first thing tomorrow morning," Ling Chen said.

"Wanbao Pavilion?" Su Qinghe was slightly taken aback. "That's the largest trading company within a radius of ten thousand miles. It has everything from treasures and cultivation techniques to pills. However, it's a mixed bag, with many experts among its members."

"I need a few things." Ling Chen's eyes turned slightly cold.

First, there are enough spirit stones to support cultivation; second, there are treasures that can conceal one's aura to hide the aura of the Spirit Emperor and Chaos, avoiding premature exposure; and third, there is the search for ancient artifacts related to Chaos to accelerate the awakening of the deep inheritance within the token.

Only with sufficient strength can he gain a foothold in this ever-changing world of cultivation.

Only by holding enough trump cards can he gradually rise from a reborn youth to the Eternal Spirit Emperor, break through the limits, and ascend to the Supreme Chaos God.

As night deepened, the valley fell silent.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a being destined to shake the heavens and earth was lurking in this unassuming mountain forest.

Ling Chen looked up at the night sky, where the stars twinkled and all was silent.

Enemies from a past life, the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, the mysteries of chaos...

Everything has just begun.
