Boom! However, it was completely ineffective. The vast Golden Sword River enveloped the two, instantly swallowing them whole. Crack! Crack! Crack! The sounds of sword energy sweeping through the air echoed. These two Peak Earth Venerable experts couldn't even let out a scream before they were turned to ash, their souls crushed into nothingness.
"Hmph, looking for death on your own."
Qin Chen coldly snorted, while Ji Xinyi, whom he was holding, was filled with terror, her eyes filled with fear. This guy is a devil.
Qin Chen remained expressionless. They were merely Earth Venerables; it was fine if they didn't guide him, but they should obediently step aside and recognize their defeat. Although Qin Chen's killing intent surged, he was not someone who indiscriminately slaughtered the innocent.
But if they insisted on insulting Ruyue, then Qin Chen wouldn't hold back.
In Qin Chen's view, no one could insult the people around him.
Boom! As the two Earth Venerables fell, turning to ash, an inexplicable chaos aura emanated from their remains.
"This power..." Qin Chen frowned.
The bloodline of the Ji family indeed seemed to have some mysteries, and within the range of Hell Mountain, it felt particularly pronounced.
In the Chaotic World, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor were both taken aback.
"Huh, this power seems quite nourishing."
"Devour!"
Whoosh! A wave of devouring power surged within the Chaotic World, and in an instant, this bizarre chaos aura was completely absorbed by the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor.
"Damn, old Primordial Ancestral Dragon, you're absorbing too much."
"What? Blood River, do you want to compete with me?"
"Hmph, my Blood River is not afraid of you."
Immediately, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor began to argue over who absorbed more in the Chaotic World.
Boom! As they spoke, they started fighting.
There was no helping it; the two were too bored in the Chaotic World, and it had become a habit for them to spar occasionally.
"Primordial Ancestral Dragon, Blood River Saint Ancestor, is this chaos aura very special?"
Qin Chen frowned. After all, these were just two Earth Venerables; how powerful could the energy they emanated be?
In the past, he hadn't seen them quarrel over such a trivial amount of power.
The two stopped abruptly. The Primordial Ancestral Dragon frowned and shook his head, saying, "Qin Chen, it's actually quite simple. This chaos aura can be considered special, but it can also be considered not special."
"Old man, get to the point. The master doesn’t understand."
The Blood River Saint Ancestor disdainfully commented, then turned to Qin Chen, "Master, the reason we are arguing over this chaos aura is that it shares the same lineage as us."
"The same lineage?"
Qin Chen was puzzled.
What does that mean?
"Alright, let me explain."
The Primordial Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice, "It’s rather simple. The so-called ancient clan Ji family in the Ancient Realm possesses a bloodline inheritance that should indeed originate from the ancient times, just like us, primordial beings who were born from the chaos."
"Therefore, although the two you killed were merely Earth Venerables, the ancient chaos aura contained within their bloodline is a kind of supplement to me and Blood River, and it's the kind that can be directly absorbed."
Qin Chen suddenly understood. No wonder.
The current Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor were both focused on recovering their cultivation, and anything that could restore their strength and abilities was extremely precious to them. It wasn’t surprising that they were so concerned.
At the same time, Qin Chen also realized that he didn’t expect the Ji family to inherit the bloodline of ancient powerhouses. Furthermore, the fact that it could make the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and the Blood River Saint Ancestor feel a connection indicated it must come from some extremely powerful chaos being.
