Chapter 1

"Take off your clothes! Dual cultivation!"

In a chaotic space, an exquisite beauty stood in mid-air, looking down at a sharp-featured young man.

This woman had a graceful figure, skin as white as snow, and a face that could topple cities, with her ample chest almost spilling out, making it hard for anyone to look away.

She exuded an aura of superiority, cold and noble, but her gaze on the young man was intensely passionate, like a hungry wolf eyeing a delicious feast.

This exquisite beauty was known as the Empress of Chaos, an unparalleled existence standing at the pinnacle of cultivators.

The young man was named Chu Lingtian, a member of a powerful family in a remote empire on the continent of Jiuzhou.

"I refuse!"

Chu Lingtian didn't even think about it and immediately refused.

Although he was very tempted, he wasn't a naive child. He knew there were vicious secret techniques that could absorb yang energy to nourish yin.

The Empress of Chaos's intense gaze made him feel uneasy.

He was afraid that she would drain him to death.

"The Empress is not asking for your opinion, but informing you!" The Empress of Chaos coldly snorted.

A powerful pressure erupted, instantly immobilizing Chu Lingtian, making him unable to move.

Chu Lingtian watched helplessly as his clothes were torn apart, and the Empress of Chaos removed her own garments, revealing flawless skin, before pouncing on him...

"Don't... stop... don't, stop..."

The Empress of Chaos had extremely high cultivation, capable of crushing mountains and shattering the void with a snap of her fingers.

To her, the continent of Jiuzhou was merely a weak lower realm.

Even the strongest cultivator on the continent of Jiuzhou would be no match for her casual finger.

However, just as she was about to break through to the supreme realm, she was betrayed by her friend, the Empress of the Nine Heavens, who severely injured her and attempted to steal the supreme treasure, the Chaos Pagoda, which she had obtained from an ancient relic.

The Empress of Chaos fought to the death, paying a huge price to use a forbidden technique and shatter space with the Chaos Pagoda, escaping to the lower realm.

Although she saved her life, she was severely injured and had been poisoned by the Empress of the Nine Heavens' fox charm. If she couldn't find a virgin to dual cultivate with and absorb yang energy to suppress the poison, she would soon perish.

After a day and a night, Chu Lingtian slowly opened his eyes, immediately feeling a wave of weakness.

He supported his waist and slowly sat up, seeing the Empress of Chaos sitting cross-legged beside him, forming seals and cultivating.

After a day and a night of nourishment, the Empress of Chaos's complexion had become much rosier, and her aura had become even more powerful.

"Indeed, she is a demoness who absorbs yang to nourish yin. She will probably come for a second, third time..." Chu Lingtian felt despair.

Suddenly, he noticed a streak of crimson blood on his torn clothes.

"Did I misjudge?" Chu Lingtian's eyes widened.

Just as he was lost in thought, the Empress of Chaos suddenly opened her eyes, her bright gaze making the stars pale in comparison.

Chu Lingtian was momentarily stunned.

"Have you had enough?"

A cold voice snapped Chu Lingtian back to reality.

"Although the Empress has absorbed your yang energy, you have not lost. Your damaged foundation has been restored." The Empress of Chaos said.

Hearing her words, Chu Lingtian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with overwhelming killing intent, and he growled, "The Chu family! I will not be human until I avenge this!"

The Chu family was the leading family among the three major families of the Crimson Flame Empire's Flowing Cloud County, with many experts and formidable strength.

As a prominent family, the Chu family had many members. Besides the main family residing in the Flowing Cloud County city, there were four branches scattered across the four cities within the county.

Chu Lingtian belonged to the branch in Wind Cloud City.

Five days ago, the head of the branch, Chu Shan, used a vicious secret technique to extract the awakened Spirit Flame Bloodline from his body and offered it to the main family, receiving a large reward.

As a result, Chu Lingtian, with his bloodline extracted and his foundation damaged, lost his cultivation and fell into a coma for five days.

It was then that the Chaos Pagoda shattered space and appeared in his room, sensing his unbroken yang energy and bringing him into the pagoda's space.

Chu Lingtian sensed that his damaged foundation had been restored, allowing him to continue cultivating. He felt a surge of joy, but thinking of the Chu family's strength, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"So what if my foundation is restored? Without my bloodline, I am just a waste. No matter how much I cultivate, I will not achieve great success." Chu Lingtian said dejectedly.

On the continent of Jiuzhou, over 90% of cultivators could awaken bloodlines. However, most could only awaken the lowest-grade first-class bloodline.

Talented cultivators could awaken higher-grade bloodlines, gaining various benefits from the bloodline's power.

The continent of Jiuzhou classified bloodlines into ten grades, from lowest to highest: first-class bloodline, second-class bloodline, third-class bloodline... ninth-class bloodline, and supreme-class bloodline.

The higher the grade of the bloodline, the greater the talent.

Chu Lingtian's previously awakened Spirit Flame Bloodline was a fifth-class bloodline.

Don't underestimate this fifth-class bloodline. In the entire Wind Cloud City, there were only a few dozen geniuses who had awakened third-class or higher bloodlines, and only Chu Lingtian had awakened a fifth-class bloodline!

Thanks to his Spirit Flame Bloodline, Chu Lingtian became the top genius of the Wind Cloud City Chu family branch.

Chu Shan took action against him for two reasons: First, the main family's young master, Chu Yunxiao, had awakened a top-tier sixth-class bloodline, the Fire Snake Bloodline.

According to ancient texts, the Fire Snake Bloodline and the Spirit Flame Bloodline could fuse to form an even stronger bloodline.

To curry favor with the main family, Chu Shan used a vicious secret technique to extract the Spirit Flame Bloodline from Chu Lingtian's body and personally delivered it to the main family in the county city.

It was rumored that the main family's young master, Chu Yunxiao, had used secret techniques and various heavenly treasures to fuse the Spirit Flame Bloodline, transforming his own bloodline from the Fire Snake Bloodline to a seventh-class bloodline, the Flame Dragon Bloodline, becoming a top genius of the Crimson Flame Empire!

Second, Chu Shan also wanted to remove Chu Lingtian as an obstacle and pave the way for his second son, Chu Haochen.

"A mere Spirit Flame Bloodline is nothing compared to the supreme opportunity you have gained." The Empress of Chaos said disdainfully.

Chu Lingtian couldn't help but ask, "What supreme opportunity?"

Dual cultivation only made him feel tired, weak, and sore, without any other benefits.

The Empress of Chaos pointed to the space around them and said, "We are now in the eighth level of the Chaos Pagoda. This pagoda is a supreme treasure I obtained from an ancient relic after risking my life. It has the power to suppress time and space!"

"To put it simply, the time flow inside the pagoda is different from the outside. The time flow in the first level of the Chaos Pagoda is one hundred times faster than the outside. This means that if one day passes outside, one hundred days will pass in the first level of the pagoda. If one year passes outside, one hundred years will pass in the first level of the pagoda."

"The Chaos Pagoda has nine levels, and the higher the level, the faster the time flow. Most importantly, as the owner, your lifespan is not affected by the pagoda's time flow."

The Empress of Chaos pointed at Chu Lingtian with her jade finger, "After dual cultivation with the Empress, you have been recognized by the Chaos Pagoda and have become its second owner. You can freely enter the pagoda's space to cultivate. Of course, with your current strength, you can only enter the first level of the pagoda."

Hearing this, Chu Lingtian's face showed excitement.

There was actually such a supreme treasure in the world!

If the Empress of Chaos wasn't lying, he could stay in the first level of the pagoda for a hundred years and only lose one year of his lifespan! For a thousand years, he would only lose ten years of his lifespan!

Although he no longer had a bloodline, his cultivation speed would be very slow, but with the Chaos Pagoda, he could make up for his disadvantage in cultivation speed.

In the future, if he could obtain a great opportunity and regain a bloodline, he would soar to new heights, surpassing all geniuses!
