Situ Kong stood for half a day, yet no one dared to step forward to seize the Heritage. Instead, they retreated one by one, seeking the Heritage of the other four individuals. At least their strength did not seem as formidable.
“Tsk tsk… that was really impressive!” Ren Pingsheng said with a smile as he walked over.
“Ren Pingsheng, what’s up? Are you here to snatch the Heritage too?” Situ Kong glanced at Ren Pingsheng and smiled as well, unsure of what made him laugh.
Ren Pingsheng chuckled lightly and shook his head, saying nothing. He then looked ahead at the crowd still engaged in battle, seemingly blinded by their desire for the Heritage.
“Didn’t expect it, huh? You’ve been quiet but still managed to gain a lot,” he said with a grin, as if he had noticed something in Ren Pingsheng’s reaction but chose not to reveal it.
“I heard that this Inheritance Seed has its pros and cons. Do you know? Even without relying on it, your talent could still take you far.”
“Haha, don’t worry. I know all about these things; I have other uses for this Inheritance Seed.”
“That’s more like it; at least that gives you the qualification to be my opponent,” Ren Pingsheng said softly. Then he shifted his gaze toward another Inheritance Tower. That was where the people from the Five Major Forces had entered. Now that tower was also shaking, indicating they had obtained the Inheritance Seed as well.
“An opponent? I like that title. The people from the Five Major Forces are a bit slow; I wonder what they’re doing inside?” Situ Kong remarked, looking over with some confusion.
“Who knows? But they must understand the Sword King Tomb better than we do; perhaps they have other objectives as well.”
“Hmm, that’s quite possible. None of these major forces are willing to lose out.”
Just after he finished speaking, another Inheritance Tower began to tremble as well. It seemed that this time the Five Major Forces had made good gains; another Inheritance Seed had emerged. The Five Major Forces occupied ten Inheritance Towers, and now they had obtained five Inheritance Seeds, one for each force.
“Ah… ah… the Inheritance Seed is mine; none of you can take it!” shouted a warrior who had obtained an Inheritance Seed. Surrounded by seven or eight warriors of equal rank and severely injured, he still yelled frantically. In a final act of desperation, he swallowed the Inheritance Seed.
"Hey... hey... I can't have you, and no one else can either." He grinned savagely, the thunderous roars echoing from the legacy seed he had swallowed, something unknown happening within him.
"Bang..." The warrior laughed, but suddenly let out a chilling scream, his body beginning to swell until it exploded, flesh raining down like a blood shower.
The legacy seed remained intact. It did not undergo any adverse changes despite being consumed by that warrior.
"The legacy seed is mine, it's mine!" The seven warriors who had retreated far away rushed back in, engaging in battle once more. In just this brief moment, dozens had already died due to the chaos over the legacy seed. It was uncertain how many more would perish.
"Hmm? What's going on?" The three towers occupied by the five major forces suddenly trembled violently. This reaction was much more exaggerated than before; while there had only been slight tremors earlier, now the ground itself was affected. Even the warriors fighting for the legacy were momentarily stunned and halted their actions.
Ren Pingsheng watched intently, wanting to know what was happening inside that could cause such a strong reaction. He began to understand why the five major forces had chosen this tower; they clearly had ulterior motives.
"Hehe... looks like there's a good show coming up; I wonder what treasure has emerged." Situ Kong squinted his eyes, a smile spreading across his face. His hands tightly gripped his long knife, indicating that he would strike if he found it interesting.
Suddenly, three beams of sword light shot out from the three towers, closely followed by three figures. After emerging, the sword lights paused and began to dance up and down. These were clearly three uniquely shaped long swords radiating an aura of kingship; each movement could easily tear through the void, leaving terrifying traces behind.
"Kid, those are King's Artifacts! Hurry up and grab them!" The Demon Emperor shouted urgently.
"What? These are King's Artifacts? No wonder they possess such great power." Ren Pingsheng's eyes were fixed on the three distinct long swords, feeling shocked. To think these were King's Artifacts, and there were three of them right from the start.
"That's right; King's Artifacts are extremely rare. Many are collected over long periods by king-level powerhouses who forge them from various materials. Each possesses immense power; these three are top-tier King's Artifacts. If you manage to seize them, you'll become a king without needing to waste time forging your own."
At this moment, not only Ren Pingsheng but also other warriors recognized the extraordinary nature of these three weapons. Situ Kong's eyes lit up upon seeing them; it seemed he had also guessed their identity.
The other warriors weren't foolish either; they quickly associated the weapons emerging from the legacy tower with those used by king-level powerhouses. Each of them began to breathe heavily, torn between the allure of king-level legacies and King's Artifacts—each was something they couldn't easily give up.
"Damn, this is the top-tier King's Artifact; it can't be restrained at all." The three people behind were also recognized: Yun Xingzi from the Xuanjian Sect, Cheng Batian from the Bajiang Sect, and Zuo Qingcang from the Listening Wind Tower.
"Regardless, they are all kings from the Ancient Times period, and their strength is undoubtedly formidable. Their weapons will naturally be exceptional. It's just strange this time; it seems like there are so many legacies emerging all at once due to some unforeseen event," Zuo Qingcang said with a furrowed brow.
"Who knows? Maybe something went wrong in the Sword King's Tomb. We should subdue them first; otherwise, these guys might not be able to hold back," Yun Xingzi said, glancing at the greedy faces surrounding them.
At that moment, three long swords hovering in mid-air began to vibrate continuously, emitting a clear ringing sound. It seemed as if they were calling for something—perhaps their former masters with whom they fought together, or perhaps they were lamenting.
Suddenly, the entire Sword King's Tomb shook, and all one hundred and eight legacy towers trembled violently as if something was awakening. The ground felt like it was experiencing a massive earthquake.
"What’s happening? What’s going on?" Many martial artists shouted in panic.
"There’s a major upheaval in the Sword King's Tomb; it seems all the King's Artifacts are about to emerge. But that’s good news for you," the Demon Emperor said softly. Then he suddenly looked surprised: "No, it seems not only the King's Artifacts but also the remaining legacies are likely to emerge as well. I really don’t understand why this is happening."
"Kid, you must obtain a King's Artifact. These King's Artifacts are not simple; they probably contain part of the legacy as well. You must seize this opportunity; I have a feeling that most of these King's Artifacts and legacies will escape from here."
"What?" Ren Pingsheng was startled. Initially, when he heard the Demon Emperor say that all the King's Artifacts would emerge, he thought he would definitely get one. But now he realized that these King's Artifacts and legacies were going to leave the Sword King's Tomb—was it to find suitable inheritors? That was his first thought. He immediately became alert and prepared to seize a King's Artifact.
From within the one hundred and eight legacy towers, weapons flew out one after another, with swords and knives being the most numerous, along with some other types of weapons, each exuding unparalleled might. At this moment, they rang out to each other as if telling a story. The remaining nineteen legacy seeds also flew out one by one, mingling among the King's Artifacts.
"Oh my God, so many legacy seeds! This is my chance!" A martial artist's eyes widened as he flashed forward to grab a legacy seed.
"Swish..." A King's Artifact suddenly flashed, and the nearby martial artist let out a cry before being split in two. This shocked all those who were preparing to act.
"Indeed, there has been an upheaval; all the King's Artifacts and legacies in this Sword King's Tomb have emerged." The martial artists from the five major forces had grim expressions on their faces. However, thinking of so many King's Artifacts made their eyes flicker with excitement.
"Boom..." The entire Sword King Tomb shook again, more violently than before. The one hundred and eight Inheritance Towers suddenly lit up, and beams of light converged into a Light Gate, dark and unknown in its destination.
The swirling King's Artifacts and Heritage seemed to sense the energy, trembling as they flew towards the Light Gate, with a significant portion disappearing in an instant.
"Not good, they're trying to escape! Act quickly!" The members of the Five Major Forces reacted, each roaring as they unleashed their most powerful techniques to grab at the King's Artifacts, hoping to retain at least one. Unfortunately, many martial artists lacking sufficient strength were pierced through by the King's Artifacts, leaving only corpses behind.
"Haha, I like this Long Sword. Follow me, and I will let you shine once more," Situ Kong leaped forward to intercept a Long Sword-shaped King's Artifact, his aura locking onto it from afar. True Qi surged in his hand as he engaged in battle with it.
"Yes, it's you." Thanks to the Demon Emperor's reminder, Ren Pingsheng reacted faster than anyone else. He was the first to intercept a longsword-shaped King's Artifact. Upon seeing it, he felt his Sword King Order tremble.
He clearly remembered that his Sword King Order was inscribed with Changping Wang. He immediately guessed that this King's Artifact must have belonged to Changping Wang back in the day.
"We are destined to meet. My arrival here is due to receiving Changping Wang's Sword King Order. Come with me and fight," Ren Pingsheng said softly, his aura surging not only for battle but also to gain the recognition of the King's Artifact.
"Buzz..." The King's Artifact trembled continuously, seemingly hesitating. Suddenly, a glow erupted from the sword body, and countless Sword Qi rained down from all directions.
"Kid, seize this opportunity; it's testing you!" Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng's expression changed dramatically. Without holding back, he turned his body and slashed out with his sword. The entire world seemed to pause along with the falling sword rain. A Sword Qi about ten feet long flashed by in an instant, imperceptible to the naked eye. It wasn't until all the Sword Qi were shattered that a long crack appeared in the void.
"Bang..." The King's Artifact shook lightly, causing that Sword Qi to shatter; however, it was also forced back three feet.
That move was precisely what Ren Pingsheng had obtained from Puppet Tower—the second style of Heavenly Sword Three Styles—boasting unparalleled speed and lethal power.
