Clearly, Gongsun Zhi's roars were useless. The Artifact Spirit directly ignored him.
This was because the current Artifact Spirit was no longer the Artifact Spirit of the past. His identity as a descendant of a Grand Exalt was useless.
At this moment, the fourth streak of light shot down. Another protector sword shot down from the mountain as a dazzling streak of light.
The fourth protector sword was about to choose a master!
However, the protector sword did not land in the region enveloped by white light. Instead, it turned into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the exit of the Tower of Radiance.
In the distance, the eyes of the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, and vice-leader Xuan Zhan narrowed. They could clearly see a protector sword descend and fly towards them as a streak of white light. It moved extremely quickly.
In a single moment, the fourth protector sword crossed the distance and hovered before Xuan Zhan. It flickered with light.
Xuan Zhan was confused as he stared at the simple protector sword that possessed astonishing power. For a moment, he was unable to understand what was going on.
Even the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, was stunned.
This was because both he and Xuan Zhan had clearly withdrawn from the competition for the protector sword. They were very surprised by the fact that the protector sword had actually come to them voluntarily.
"This protector sword comes from the ninth ranked retainer, Kai Ming. Since Kai Ming's sword has chosen you, it means you're fated with Kai Ming. Are you willing to wield Kai Ming's sword and fight for the master of the Tower of Radiance …" The Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in Xuan Zhan's head.
Xuan Zhan did not become excited with the protector sword before him. Instead, he hesitated slightly before asking, "Will the master of the Tower of Radiance be Gongsun Zhi?"
"He has no right to become my master," said the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance.
Xuan Zhan made up his mind when he heard that. He said, "Alright. Since the next master of the Tower of Radiance isn't Gongsun Zhi, I will accept the ninth protector sword and become its wielder."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ninth Saint Sword flashed with light. It cut open his finger at a speed that even Xuan Zhan could not react to, absorbing some of his blood.
When Yu Chen, who was standing beside him, saw this scene, a glint flashed across his eyes. He stared at the protector sword without blinking as he revealed a pondering expression.
At the same time, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance stood on the top of one of the nine mountains in the Tower of Radiance, silently watching the Hallowed Saint Masters below.
"Bai Yu, Donglin, Yan Xue, Xuan Zhan, and Xuan Ming have all obtained a protector sword. Only Han Xin remains."
"Han Xin was once master's teacher. Before master left, he specially told me to take good care of Han Xin. However, Han Xin didn't enter the Tower of Radiance. Moreover, the remnant consciousness of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance has always been influencing me. It wants to assimilate me and turn me into its past self. I don't know how much longer I can remain clear-headed, so I need to bestow all these protector swords to master's friends while I'm still clear-headed … "The Artifact Spirit murmured. After a moment of hesitation, he sent a message to the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall secretly, telling him to gather all the Hallowed Saint Masters who had yet to enter the Radiant Saint Hall.
After receiving the message from the Artifact Spirit, Yu Chen did not hesitate at all. He immediately left the Tower of Radiance.
Before long, Yu Chen entered the Tower of Radiance with over a hundred Hallowed Saint Masters. These Hallowed Saint Masters all knew that they had no fate with the protector swords.
As a result, they had no interest in the protector swords at all.
To no surprise, the lord of the Soaring Clouds Peak, Han Xin, was among them.
Under Yu Chen's orders, the Hallowed Saint Masters all entered the region enveloped by white light.
Swish!
However, soon after they entered, there was a whistling sound. The fifth protector sword flew down from the mountain with a clear thrum, landing in Han Xin's hand.
"Out of the nine protector swords, Heda's Sword, ranked fifth. From today onwards, you are the wielder of Heda's Sword," an obscure voice rang out in Han Xin's head.
Han Xin became stunned as he looked at the protector sword hovering before him and sensed the obscure connection he had established with it. He felt like he was dreaming.
A lot of information regarding Heda's Sword appeared in his head. Among the nine retainers of the master of the Tower of Radiance, Heda ranked fifth. He was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.
The sword originated from Heda. As the wielder of the sword, he basically controlled all of Heda's power.
As long as he possessed the sword, even if he was only the Divine King of Light, his battle prowess would truly reach the peak. He would be able to take on Grand Primes. Even some weaker Grand Primes would not be his opponent.
The current strongest ancestor of the Han family was only a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, while the patriarch who had expelled him was only an Infinite Prime. However, the power he possessed right now was no weaker than a Grand Prime.
Han Xin felt like he was dreaming. It did not feel real.
"I am a descendant of a Grand Exalt. My ancestor was your former master, the Artifact Spirit. I don't want the right to distribute the protector swords. I only want the most powerful protector sword …" Gongsun Zhi roared out from afar. He began to panic as he watched the protector swords fall one after another, but he still did not get a share. He wanted the most powerful protector sword.
A protector sword was equivalent to skyrocketing. Regardless of whether he would become the master of the Tower of Radiance in the future, he had to obtain one of the protector swords.
The Artifact Spirit glanced at Gongsun Zhi coldly from the top of the mountain before no longer paying any attention to him. Gongsun Zhi's resentment towards Jianchen was just too deep. He would never let Gongsun Zhi inherit a protector sword.
"If it weren't for the lingering consciousness of the Artifact Spirit from the Tower of Radiance, you wouldn't be able to possess the miniature world for yourself," the artifact Spirit thought. He was no longer the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance in the past, so he had no feelings for the descendant of the previous master of the Tower of Radiance at all.
"Out of the nine protector swords, the greatest one is Godslayer's sword. It was transformed from the strongest of the nine retainers, Godslayer. Godslayer was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime when he was alive, so this sword is the most powerful out of the nine protector swords. This sword should be left for master's mother. " The Artifact Spirit looked at the sword stabbed into the ground behind him. He had already decided on who the first protector sword belonged to.
However, at this moment, the artifact spirit's body suddenly began to tremble violently. His body that had been condensed from energy had almost collapsed.
In his eyes, two completely different gazes flickered. It was as if two completely independent thoughts and consciousnesses were engaged in an intense battle.
The lingering consciousness of the Artifact Spirit from the Tower of Radiance appeared once again, engaging in an intense battle with the Artifact Spirit. He wanted to assimilate the Artifact Spirit.
"Your era has already become a thing of the past. It's impossible for you to assimilate me," the Artifact Spirit growled. His figure would blur and clear at times. He was extremely unstable.
But in the end, his eyes lost their original light, replaced by a completely unfamiliar coldness. As a result, his eyes seemed emotionless.
"Godslayer's sword should be controlled by master's descendant …" The Artifact Spirit said coldly. He extended a finger towards the protector sword behind him gently.
Immediately, the first protector sword stabbed into the ground directly shot into the air and landed in Gongsun Zhi's hand.
