After Wall Mountain was blasted apart, an ancient altar unexpectedly erged from behind the mountain wall.
On the altar, there were no monunts or pillars, only blood stains on the ground, resembling a human figure.
Before the crowd could get a clear view, the blood stains emitted a blood-red light, moving as if they were a shadow brought to life, slowly standing up from the ground.
"Having passed the four tests to arrive here, you have already earned the qualification to receive the inheritance of this king. Open the altar, below is the king’s lifelong accumulation. But before that, this king must make it clear, accepting the king’s accumulation ans taking on this king’s grievances and entanglents. Are you sure you want to accept this king’s inheritance?" Blood Shadow spoke as he was standing up, his gaze falling on the crowd, hesitating slightly: "Why are there so many people?"
Clearly, Blood Shadow did not expect that the person who passed the tests was not just one person, but so many people.
"Among you, who exactly passed the four previous tests?" Blood Shadow asked again, surveying the crowd.
"What is this thing?" Lin Shen turned his head and asked Xiaoye.
Xiaoye was staring intently at Blood Shadow. Hearing Lin Shen’s question, she shook her head and said, "I don’t know."
"This king is asking you a question, didn’t you hear?" Blood Shadow said impatiently.
"Who are you?" Di Esi looked at Blood Shadow and asked.
"Isn’t it obvious? This king is, of course, the shadow of The Ancient Realm King..." Blood Shadow said haughtily: "This king left a shadow here to prevent so petty thieves from taking this king’s lifelong treasures. Only those who pass the four tests may inherit this king’s accumulation."
Lin Shen glanced at Xiaoye and Xiaona again; this thing claims to be The Ancient Realm King’s shadow, and apart from them, likely no one else can see the truth.
"You are The Ancient Realm King’s shadow, then do you know who I am?" Xiaoye stepped forward a few steps, looked at Blood Shadow, and asked.
"This king cares not who you are. Among you, who solved the four tests?" Blood Shadow asked again.
Everyone felt sothing was wrong; this Blood Shadow claid to be The Ancient Realm King’s shadow yet failed to recognize The Ancient Realm King’s daughter — clearly, there’s a problem.
"What exactly is going on here?" Lin Shen asked Xiaoye and Xiaona.
"Unsure if done purposely or if sothing went wrong." Xiaoye’s eyes grew sharp, intently staring at Blood Shadow, her hand gripping the Jade Purifying Bottle tightly.
She thought of a possibility; perhaps the reason Lin Shen has issues might be due to a problem during reincarnation.
If The Ancient Realm King reincarnated here, then this thing might very well be the cause of the issue in The Ancient Realm King’s reincarnation.
"Let ask you again, what exactly are you?" Xiaoye stared at Blood Shadow, coldly questioned.
"Haven’t I already told you? This king is The Ancient Realm King’s shadow..." Blood Shadow’s words suddenly stopped, upon seeing Xiaoye lift the Jade Purifying Bottle, tilting its mouth towards him.
"Jade Bottle... Jade Bottle... Purify this vile creature..." Xiaoye imdiately uttered the Secret Language to activate the Jade Purifying Bottle.
Within an instant, a bizarre spectral light shot out from the Jade Purifying Bottle, illuminating Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow suddenly erupted with blood-colored smoke, leaped into the sky, freeing itself from the Jade Purifying Bottle’s beam.
"The Great Emperor’s Divine Artifact Golden Transformation Vase of the Western District..." Blood Shadow identified the true na of this Great Emperor’s Divine Artifact.
This na was unknown even to Lin Shen, Xiaoye, and Xiaona; The Ancient Realm King only told the two sisters that it was called the Great Emperor’s Jade Bottle or Jade Purifying Bottle.
"The one you’re holding is the Golden Transformation Vase... Then the gourd she holds must be the Purple Gold Gourd of the Southern District..." Blood Shadow’s gaze lingered on the Jade Bottle and gourd.
"Now you know, you better confess, what on earth are you, and why are you here, otherwise, I will turn you into blood water." Xiaoye coldly stated.
Xiaona cooperatively raised the gourd, aiming it at Blood Shadow, ready to absorb him at any mont.
"Haha... how delightful... didn’t expect you to co willingly... haha..." Blood Shadow laughed wildly towards the sky.
"What’s so funny?" Xiaoye’s gaze turned cold, directing the Jade Purifying Bottle’s beam at Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow moved like an illusion, dodging as the Jade Purifying Bottle’s light couldn’t keep up with his speed, shocking everyone greatly.
"Don’t waste your effort, the Golden Transformation Vase hasn’t returned to Great Emperor level, it’s useless against ." Blood Shadow murmured, appearing on the other side, examining Xiaoye and Xiaona, calmly saying: "You must be the daughters of the ancient one."
Blood Shadow clearly admitted he wasn’t The Ancient Realm King’s shadow.
Everyone prepared for battle, watching Blood Shadow cautiously; his supernatural speed was far beyond everyone else, all felt they couldn’t keep up — exceedingly dangerous.
"So what if we are?" Xiaona said, readying to use the Great Emperor Gourd to absorb Blood Shadow.
"Don’t act yet, in so ways, I’m still your benefactor, how could you be so ungrateful?" Blood Shadow suddenly remarked.
"Nonsense, I am your father." Xiaona scornfully retorted.
"If not for , how would ancient know to let you reincarnate with the Divine Artifacts, creating a symbiotic relationship to secure your lives? Without , you’d have died just like your brother long ago." Blood Shadow humorously proclaid.
Lin Shen hearing these words, suddenly realized who Blood Shadow was.
He had previously heard the tale of The Ancient Realm King and The Three Treasure Chests; a person brought three chests to The Ancient Realm King, asking him to place his three most precious items inside. If indeed he put what he deed most precious, then his predicant would be solved.
Otherwise, those close to The Ancient Realm King would face calamity.
The legendary outco witnessed The Ancient Realm King’s only three blood relatives — the two young princesses survived, yet the young prince t a tragic fate.
Listening, Lin Shen couldn’t shake the feeling that Blood Shadow seed to be that person who presented The Three Treasure Chests to The Ancient Realm King.
"You... you..." Xiaona retreated in fear, retreating to Lin Shen’s side, her body trembling with fear.
Clearly, she too anticipated who that person was and feared him greatly.
Xiaoye’s gaze shifted to one of hostility, glowering at Blood Shadow, angrily swearing: "It was you... you’re still not dead... return my brother’s life..."
As she spoke, Xiaoye, brimming with fury, lifted the Jade Purifying Bottle, launching an attack on Blood Shadow.
However, Blood Shadow’s speed was too swift, leaving only a series of afterimages, the Jade Purifying Bottle’s beam only managing to hit those afterimages, failing to touch Blood Shadow’s true form.
"With all ancient’s calculations... never anticipated you’d arrive before reaching the Great Emperor level... truly, fate has favored ..." Blood Shadow’s words were filled with fanaticism.
