The lord of the Scorching Sun Peak, Gongsun Zhi, seemed to have lost his mind. He used a secret technique, burning the very essence of his life to activate the god artifact as hard as he could to slash at Jianchen. He wanted to stop Jianchen from taking the legacy.
He had already treated the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint as his. Every time Jianchen obtained something from the imprint, he would lose a portion of the legacy.
Currently, Jianchen was absorbing the contents of the legacy imprint as hard as he could. The Grand Exalt's legacy imprint struggled more and more intensely. If this continued, the legacy imprint would break free from his suppression and abandon him.
As a result, he did not have the time to continue tangling with the Divine King of Light. He just stood in the air as he focused all his attention on the Grand Exalt's imprint.
Right now, he was completely defenseless against the outside world.
This time, Gongsun Zhi used his full strength to activate the god artifact in his hand. With shocking pulses of energy, he slashed at Jianchen viciously.
Immediately, with a deep rumble, Jianchen was blown away by Gongsun Zhi's strike.
Gongsun Zhi was stunned at first by this. Probably even he had never thought that he would hit Jianchen so easily this time.
However, he soon ravished with joy. He knew extremely well that Jianchen did not put up any defences at all against his strike. He had used his body to take it on.
In Gongsun Zhi's opinion, no matter how powerful or extraordinary Jianchen was, he would definitely pay a huge price to take on a strike from a god artifact with his body. Even if he did not die, he would be half-dead.
Behind Gongsun Zhi, the Divine King of Light ravished with joy when they saw Jianchen take on a strike from Gongsun Zhi's god artifact with his body. They immediately used their god artifacts to fly towards Jianchen. They all used their full strength in an attempt to kill Jianchen.
Immediately, booms rang out incessantly. This time, not only did Jianchen not fight back, but he did not dodge either. He used his body to endure the attacks from everyone.
Over a dozen god artifacts struck Jianchen's slender body with surging might, immediately knocking him into the air. In the end, a huge hammer fell from the sky and struck Jianchen's head with lightning speed. The powerful ripples of energy caused space to distort.
Jianchen's body was smashed to the ground.
"What's going on? Why has the invincible Chang Yang suddenly lost the power to fight back …"
"It must be because of the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint. Chang Yang probably wanted to comprehend the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint, but it didn't accept him in the end. It absorbed his soul, causing Chang Yang to lose all contact with the outside world …"
"Fantastic. If that's the case, killing him will be as easy as blowing off dust. Many people say that Chang Yang is Aoyama in disguise. If we really kill him, the Martial Soul lineage will lose a member. That will be a great merit … "
"The merit of killing Chang Yang will belong to all of us. Let's do it together, and we'll all get a share of the merit …"
…
In the distance, many Radiant Saint Masters called out as they surged over.
It was as if Chang Yang, who had been invincible earlier, was doomed in their eyes.
The peak lords who wielded god artifacts were unable to cheer up at all. Instead, their hearts sank, and their faces became very ugly. This was because they did not even see a single droplet of blood.
A person at the same cultivation level as them had endured the attacks of over a dozen god artifacts with his body, yet he did not even shed a single droplet of blood. Who would believe that?
"Method of the Exalted Saint!" At the same time, Jianchen, who was completely immersed in the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint, shuddered violently. He ravished with joy.
He had finally found a Grand Exalt's cultivation method in the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint.
The cultivation method was created by the master of the Tower of Radiance. It was called the Method of the Exalted Saint.
"Absorb!" Without any hesitation, Jianchen immediately absorbed all the information related to the Method of the Exalted Saint.
Immediately, the imprint that contained the information about the Method of the Exalted Saint immediately surged towards Jianchen. A tremendous amount of information was poured into Jianchen's head, immediately causing Jianchen's head to swell painfully.
The information was just too tremendous, so much that even with Jianchen's current cultivation level, he found it rather difficult to process.
Outside, the peak lords with god artifacts had already gathered around Jianchen. Their eyes were all widened as they stared at Jianchen who sat on the ground. Undisguised shock filled their eyes.
There were many wounds on Jianchen's body. They had all been left behind by their god artifacts when they struck Jianchen.
However, without any exception, all the wounds on Jianchen were superficial. Let alone injuring Jianchen's organs, there was not even a single droplet of blood.
Moreover, to their surprise, the wounds on Jianchen actually healed at a visible rate.
In just a few seconds, the wounds they had left behind on Jianchen completely vanished. Not a single scar remained.
This scene stunned all of them. The dozen or so powerful Peak Masters with God Artifacts in their hands were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.
"H- how is this possible …" Gongsun Zhi said with a trembling voice as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
"He's absorbing the legacy imprint anyway, so he can't pay attention to the outside world. Let's continue attacking. I'd like to see just how much longer he can last," one of them bellowed out and immediately used a god artifact to continue attacking.
The remaining dozen or so people with Divine Artifacts also joined in one after another. Even the group of Radiant Saint Masters who had surged over from behind struck out as well. All of them used their most powerful attacks, sending them toward Jianchen.
Immediately, the Laws of the Hallowed surged in the surroundings. Powerful pulses of energy ravaged the ground mercilessly. Jianchen had already been drowned out by the attacks.
But very soon, everyone became dumbfounded. After taking on all their attacks, Jian Chen had only suffered some superficial wounds as he sat there.
Furthermore, these superficial wounds were all left behind by the dozen or so Divine Artifacts.
In other words, no matter how powerful the Divine King without god artifacts were, even the peak lords who had broken through to late Divine King were unable to harm Jianchen at all.
"Heavens, is he still human …"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The scene that happened in front of them had completely overturned their understanding of the world.
They could accept it if they were facing a powerful Primordial realm expert, but they just happened to be facing a Divine King who was at the same level of cultivation as them.
At this moment, Jianchen had completely received all the information regarding the Method of the Exalted Saint. He had completely grasped this unprecedented Grand Exalt cultivation method.
However, the Inheritance Imprint was not as simple as a Cultivation Technique. It also contained powerful Light Divine Skills and various extremely ancient Secret Skills that originated from the previous era and possessed extraordinary power.
It also contained the personal experiences of Grand Exalts on cultivation, as well as their comprehension of cultivation.
Jianchen did not waste any time after receiving the Method of the Exalted Saint. He continued to absorb the rest of the contents.
However, at this moment, the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint in his hand suddenly became scorching hot. The power of the legacy imprint increased by countless times in a single instance, and it actually broke free from Jianchen's suppression. It flew out of Jianchen's hand and arrived before Gongsun Zhi.
How could Jianchen allow something like that to happen? He bellowed out, and his presence surged. He appeared before Gongsun Zhi in a single instance and directly extended his hand towards him.
However, the power from the Tower of Radiance appeared silently, enveloping Gongsun Zhi and protecting him.
The Tower of Radiance was a peak god artifact, on the same level as the Anatta Tower. As a result, Jianchen was as weak as an ant before the power of the Tower of Radiance. He was unable to harm Gongsun Zhi at all.
With a flash, the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint shot into Gongsun Zhi's forehead as a streak of light and vanished.
On the other hand, the lord of the Scorching Sun Peak, Gongsun Zhi, closed his eyes and collapsed. He was unconscious.
The sudden change of events immediately stunned all the Radiant Saint Masters present. They all shifted their gazes away from Jian Chen and stared at Gongsun Zhi. They were all confused. None of them knew what had happened.
"The Artifact Spirit," Jianchen looked at Gongsun Zhi deeply as he secretly called out to the Artifact Spirit inside.
"Master, H- h- the bloodline of the master of the Tower of Radiance actually flows through his veins. He's a descendant of the master of the Tower of Radiance …" The Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in Jianchen's head. Its voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
"I've already learnt from the remnant consciousness of the Artifact Spirit that the master of the Tower of Radiance is not a sovereign of this aeon, nor is he a sovereign of the last aeon. Instead, he was an overlord of the aeon before the aeon before that. I never thought, I really never thought that the bloodline of the master of the Tower of Radiance would continue to exist even after two aeons."
"Master, I still can't control the Tower of Radiance completely right now, and the remnant consciousness of the Artifact Spirit is affecting me at all times. I can't remove the layer of power that protects the Grand Exalt's descendant," said the artifact artifact artifact. Although he had become the master of the Tower of Radiance, he had only been in the Tower of Radiance for far too short a time, and he had fused with far too many remnant consciousnesses of the Tower of Radiance's Artifact Spirit. He would often be affected by the remnant consciousness and lose control of himself.
Jianchen fell silent. He was not surprised by this outcome, as he had already expected this when he discovered that the bloodline of the lord of the Scorching Sun Peak, Gongsun Zhi, would lead to a change in the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint.
Although he had taken out the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint from the stele after comprehending the diagram of ways, logically speaking, he should have successfully inherited everything from the Grand Exalt's legacy imprint. However, he had never thought that the descendant of the master of the Tower of Radiance would appear here.
The legacy imprint had a spirit. Although he had fulfilled the conditions, he was still an outsider to the legacy imprint. The bloodline that flowed through the body of the lord of the Scorching Sun Peak, Gongsun Zhi, was the descendant of the Grand Exalt who had left behind the legacy imprint in the past.
Before an outsider and his descendant, the legacy imprint would naturally choose his own descendant.
Although Jianchen might have been able to obtain the complete legacy if he had killed Gongsun Zhi beforehand, he really could not do something like that. It would go against his principles.
