The Artifact Spirit's expression did not change at all. Its gaze remained fixed on Gongsun Zhi the entire time. It only said indifferently, "Gongsun Zhi, you are no longer suitable to inherit Godslayer's sword."
With that, the artifact spirit gently extended a finger towards Gongsun Zhi's forehead. In the next moment, a bright light surged into the sky. Godslayer's sword broke free from Gongsun Zhi's control as a streak of light, vanishing from the sky of the Tower of Radiance in a single instance. No one knew where it had gone.
Gongsun Zhi was stunned. His face was filled with confusion and confusion. He had no idea why the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance would take away his sword for no reason.
However, he did not panic, nor did he realise that the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance was targeting him. All of this was because he possessed the Grand Exalt's bloodline. His ancestor, his ancestor, was the former master of the Tower of Radiance, the creator of the Tower of Radiance.
Now, he was the only known descendant with the Grand Exalt's bloodline. Under these circumstances, he was naturally the person closest to the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance.
As a result, even though Godslayer's sword had been taken away, Gongsun Zhi did not believe the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance would harm him.
"Sir Artifact Spirit, w- w- w- what are you doing? Why did you take away my Godslayer Sword? "Gongsun Zhi asked with a confused expression.
However, before the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance could reply, Gongsun Zhi seemed to realise something. He suddenly ravished with joy, and his voice became extremely excited, "I- i- is it because … sir Artifact Spirit, have you finally thought it through and decided to accept me as your master?"
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha, sir Artifact Spirit, I knew you would think it through eventually. I knew you would choose me sooner or later because I am the only descendant with the Grand Exalt's bloodline. Apart from me, no one else has the right to inherit the Tower of Radiance."
"I, Gongsun Zhi, am the most suitable person for the Tower of Radiance …"
Gongsun Zhi raised his head to the sky and laughed maniacally. The loss of the Godslayer sword instantly disappeared without a trace.
This was because Godslayer's sword was under the control of the Tower of Radiance. The Tower of Radiance could retrieve the protector sword at any time, so it was naturally possible to bestow the protector sword to others at any time.
If he had to choose between Godslayer's sword and the Tower of Radiance, Gongsun Zhi would obviously choose the Tower of Radiance without any hesitation.
The expressions of Bai Yu, Han Xin, Donglin Yan Xue, and Xuan Ming changed as they felt uneasy.
They also knew the power of the Tower of Radiance. Once Gongsun Zhi really did inherit the Tower of Radiance, they really might not be able to keep their protector swords.
Among them, only Xuan Zhan remained composed. He glanced past the artifact spirit of the Tower of Radiance and Gongsun Zhi, and he could not help but smile mysteriously.
When he glanced at Gongsun Zhi, there was a hint of mockery and ridicule in his eyes.
"The Martial Soul lineage is the imperial clan. In the age when the master of the Tower of Radiance reigned supreme, every single member of the imperial clan was supreme. Even the master of the Tower of Radiance himself was a successor of the Martial Soul lineage. Now, Gongsun Zhi has actually declared that he wants to wipe out the imperial clan before the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance. Sigh, Gongsun Zhi has probably made a huge mistake, "Xuan Zhan thought.
"No, Gongsun Zhi, you have no right to inherit the Tower of Radiance," the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance said indifferently.
As soon as it said that, the smile on Gongsun Zhi's face froze. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"What did you say? Sir Artifact Spirit, you don't want me to inherit the Tower of Radiance? Since you don't want me to inherit the Tower of Radiance, w- w- then why did you take away my Godslayer's sword? "Gongsun Zhi was rather stunned. For some reason, he suddenly experienced an ill omen.
"Because you are no longer suitable to inherit Godslayer's sword," said the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance.
Gongsun Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became extremely nervous. The Tower of Radiance did not want him to inherit the sovereign artifact, and it had taken away Godslayer's sword. Without these things to rely on, he immediately lacked confidence.
"Then you can give me another Godslayer's sword," Gongsun Zhi said in a hurry.
"No, you are not suitable to inherit any protector sword."
With that, Gongsun Zhi immediately paled. Disbelief filled his eyes.
He struggled to imagine just how great of an impact his status in the Radiant Saint Hall would face without the Tower of Radiance and protector swords.
Without Godslayer's sword, how was he supposed to command everyone in the future? How was he supposed to reign supreme on the Desolate Plane?
"No, sir Artifact Spirit, you can't do this to me. You can't take away my Godslayer's sword. I must possess Godslayer's sword …"
"Even if you don't give me Godslayer's sword, just give me any protector sword. I must possess a protector sword …"
"Artifact Spirit, I, Gongsun Zhi, am a descendant of the Grand Exalt. My ancestor was your master, your creator. How can you treat your master's descendant like this …"
"Give me a protector sword. Give me a protector sword. I can't be without a protector sword. I can't be without a protector sword …"
…
Gongsun Zhi was no longer able to remain composed. He seemed to have gone mad as his face became extremely twisted. His face was vicious as he roared out with great reluctance and fear in his eyes.
Bai Yu, Han Xin, and the others all stood there in a daze. They also felt disbelief. Gongsun Zhi was a descendant of the Grand Exalt after all. He possessed a sliver of the power of the bloodline of the master of the Tower of Radiance, so his identity was extremely special.
In reality, when the Artifact Spirit took away Gongsun Zhi's Godslayer's sword, they all thought that Gongsun Zhi would become the master of the Tower of Radiance because obtaining the Tower of Radiance would mean that he could control the protector swords. At that point, whether he inherited the Tower of Radiance or not was no longer important.
However, they had never thought that not only would Gongsun Zhi fail to inherit the Tower of Radiance as he wished, but he would even lose his protector sword.
Without his protector sword, Gongsun Zhi was like a toothless tiger. Without his power, could he still be the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall? Could he still hold onto that position?
At that moment, Bai Yu, Han Xin, Donglin, Yan Xue, and Xuan Ming could not help but look at each other.
They were filled with mixed feelings because Gongsun Zhi had just gathered everyone to attack the Martial Soul Mountain. However, at this crucial moment, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance suddenly took away Godslayer's sword.
Without Godslayer's sword and without the support of the Tower of Radiance, would Gongsun Zhi's authority still exist?
The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance ignored Gongsun Zhi's roars. No matter how Gongsun Zhi begged, it ignored him. Instead, it said to the five other people, "It looks like you still don't understand some of the secrets of the Martial Soul lineage. If that's the case, I'll repeat it …"
…
Experts gathered in the Radiant Saint Hall. All the Primordial realm experts in the Radiant Saint Hall had gathered there. Even Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi waited patiently for the six protectors to enter the Tower of Radiance.
None of them said anything. They did not converse at all. They all remained silent. It was extremely quiet.
As a matter of fact, undisguised excitement and joy could even be seen in the eyes of a few elders. They had been waiting for this day for far too long. They could conquer the Martial Soul Mountain and even destroy the Martial Soul lineage once again.
