The old man’s cultivation was far above Alex’s.
In an instant, he left Alex far behind and beca the first to reach the deepest part of the estate.
What he found there was completely unexpected.
There were no Sovereign Relics.
No immortal weapons.
Not even a single Spirit Herb.
Only a spacious ditation chamber.
"This is..."
After finding no obvious treasure, his gaze fell upon the chamber walls.
The markings carved there seed to form so kind of ancient script.
The old man hurriedly copied them down.
"An inheritance. This has to be the Immortal Legacy!"
His voice trembled with excitent.
A short while later, Alex arrived.
He remained deeply wary of the old man.
When the old man had rushed ahead earlier, he had accidentally revealed his realm.
Mid stage Worldbinder.
Roughly Worldbinder Layer 7.
Alex’s guess had been correct.
Keeping his sword in hand, Alex did not dare relax for even a mont.
If the old man attacked, he would imdiately use his life saving trump card.
Only then would he have a chance to survive.
The old man glanced at Alex from the corner of his eye and smiled.
"No need to worry. I won’t attack you."
Of course, he wanted to monopolize the Immortal Legacy.
If such a world shaking inheritance belonged to him alone, nothing could be better.
But that was only wishful thinking.
The thods of the great sects were mysterious and unfathomable.
Alex belonged to Cosmos Sword Sect.
The old man did not dare make a reckless move.
Alex did not trust him, but his attention soon fell on the wall markings as well.
Excitent flashed in his eyes.
Just like the old man, he began copying them down.
It had been many years since an Immortal Legacy appeared in the Celestial Arc Realm.
Whoever seized this opportunity could rise to the heavens in a single leap.
Before long, other Ascendants arrived one after another.
Each of them hurriedly morized or copied the markings on the chamber walls.
All believed this to be the inheritance left behind by an Immortal.
They were wrong.
The markings were aningless.
At last, Caelum arrived.
No one paid much attention to a re Ascendant Realm cultivator.
They simply watched him walk up to the stone wall and place his palm against it.
Then the chamber changed.
Everyone, including the old man and Alex, froze in shock.
Golden runes erged from within the stone wall.
They gathered rapidly, forming a mysterious scripture in front of Caelum.
This was the true inheritance left behind by the Worldbreaker Divine Physique.
Its na was the Worldbreaker Physique Art.
The scripture entered Caelum’s mind.
In an instant, he morized every word.
The other Ascendants imdiately realized the truth.
What Caelum had received was the real Immortal Legacy.
In the next mont, every eye locked onto him.
The atmosphere beca suffocating.
Greed and killing intent spread silently through the chamber.
Without anyone saying a word, the Ascendants had already sealed off all possible routes of escape.
Caelum was about to leave.
The old man was the first to block his path.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Young friend, that inheritance you obtained from the wall. Would you mind letting us take a look?"
The other Ascendants quickly joined in, their voices carrying clear threats.
"That’s right."
"Why not let everyone see what an Immortal Legacy looks like?"
"Keeping it all to yourself isn’t very kind."
"Take it out."
Soone else was far more impatient.
"Why waste ti talking?"
"Just seize him and search his soul!"
"Exactly. Search the boy’s soul!"
Alex chose to stand aside and watch.
"..."
Facing their threats, Caelum remained completely calm.
His gaze swept across the gathered Ascendants.
His presence did not weaken in the slightest.
Then he looked directly at the old man and spoke coldly.
"Move."
Alex looked surprised.
An Ascendant Layer 1 cultivator dared say that?
Where did his confidence co from?
The old man’s expression darkened.
"You brought this on yourself."
He reached out with one hand.
His Worldbinder Realm cultivation erupted.
The suffocating pressure turned many Ascendants pale.
Those with lower cultivation spat blood and fainted on the spot.
"A re Ascendant Realm brat dares act so arrogantly?"
Then a blade flashed.
Like thunder tearing through the dark.
Its speed was terrifying.
The old man’s expression changed.
A chill shot straight through his body.
Blade aura exploded outward, sharp enough to make everyone’s skin crawl.
By the ti the gathered Ascendants ca back to their senses, the battle was already over.
Caelum had drawn his blade at so point.
The mid stage Worldbinder old man was pinned to the stone wall, his skull pierced through.
Blade aura raged within his body, shredding every trace of life.
"What?!"
"That old man was a Worldbinder Realm cultivator!"
The Ascendants could hardly believe what they were seeing.
They looked again.
Caelum was indeed only in the Ascendant Realm.
Alex’s pupils contracted.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
His grip tightened around his sword hilt, ready to draw at any mont.
That stunning blade strike had escaped even his perception.
"What exactly just happened?"
Caelum’s cold gaze swept across the room.
Riftcleaver blade intent surged outward.
Every Ascendant who had threatened him monts ago was split cleanly in half from head to toe.
Blood sprayed across the chamber.
The remaining Ascendants trembled in terror.
None of them could have imagined such an absurd scene.
An Ascendant Realm cultivator slaughtering a group of Transcendent and Voidwalker cultivators.
Even a Worldbinder expert had been cut down in a single strike.
It was beyond belief.
Alex was shaken by the blade intent and instinctively drew his three foot sword.
Caelum rely glanced at him.
Then he sheathed his blade and turned to leave.
That single glance alone left Alex drenched in cold sweat.
His face was pale.
"Who is he?"
The remaining Ascendants watched Caelum’s back in silence.
No one dared follow.
No one wanted to be split in half by that blade.
Caelum knew this matter was not over.
Although he had cut down the Worldbinder old man, the man had not truly perished.
The instant he realized death was inevitable, he had used his Soulbound Essence to escape.
If Caelum’s guess was correct, the phenonon caused by the Immortal estate’s ergence had already drawn powerful cultivators and sect forces from across the Celestial Arc Realm.
A much larger scene was waiting outside.
Now that he had obtained the Immortal Legacy, he would not be allowed to leave so easily.
With that in mind, Caelum activated the Divine Firmant Codex.
Within the Skyspire Order’s secret realm.
Buzz!
The Divine Firmant Blade, which had been floating peacefully amid the radiant clouds, suddenly stirred.
In the next instant, it erupted with supre Sword Intent, tore through the secret realm, and shot into the nine heavens as a streak of light.
The sword guardian was startled.
"The Divine Firmant Blade!"
The Elders of the Skyspire Order, however, were overjoyed.
"I never thought I would live to see the Divine Firmant Blade awakened again."
"Is the Heir Apparent in danger?"
"It doesn’t matter."
Master Heavensreach was in excellent spirits.
With a loud laugh, he transford into a divine streak of light and sped toward Caelum’s location.
Just as Caelum had expected.
A grand stage was waiting for him.
