“I think the barrier should be linked to the array. If we break the array, the barrier should disappear at the same time,” Billy nodded.
“Understood!” responded Casey.
“Why is there no sign of any fighting here?” Harleen said with a hint of confusion.
“They are all strong experts of the Divine Realm. Even if they are in a bad situation, they shouldn’t have been killed before they could make a move,” added Casey.
“It is indeed puzzling,” Casey chimed in.
“The most likely scenario is that they were severely injured elsewhere and then came here.”
“It’s possible!” Billy nodded thoughtfully.
“Without a doubt, this place is probably their chosen resting location,” Billy continued.
“Billy, are you implying that they may have predicted their own deaths?” Ivy asked.
“It’s possible,” Billy nodded.
“Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why the techniques of Lady Heartless and Celestial Blade appeared in the Ice Melting Cave and the Southern Ruins,” Casey pointed out.
“They were probably worried that their lifelong knowledge would disappear with them if they were to meet an unfortunate end one day,” elaborated Billy.
“So, they made arrangements in advance to pass on their legacies to someone worthy,” added Casey.
“Reasonable explanation,” the three of them nodded simultaneously.
Apart from this reasoning, they couldn’t think of any other plausible explanation.
“Boss, can you break this array?” Casey asked after a brief pause.
“This array is slightly simpler than the one at the entrance, so breaking it shouldn’t be a problem,” Billy responded.
“But if we break this array, the bodies of the three of them may dissipate, which would show disrespect towards them,” Billy expressed his concern.
Respect for the deceased!
Moreover, in a sense, he and the others could be considered half-disciples of Lady Heartless and Celestial Blade, so they wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.
“Understood,” Casey nodded.
“Alright, let’s go!” Billy said, turning and heading towards the staircase.
“Honey, it looks like there are some words up there!” at that moment, as they passed by the entrance, Harleen pointed to a screen opposite them and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Billy and the others walked over and took a look.
Sure enough, there were some Glavale characters carved on the wooden board below the screen, which were hard to notice due to the lighting.
Subsequently, Billy and the others examined them carefully.
There were two lines of words carved on it.
“We three were severely injured and gathered here, setting up an array to protect our bodies. If the array is broken, our legacy can be inherited!”
“A hundred years in a cycle, danger in the polar region, to guard the polar region, go to the City of Angels…”
The text clearly was not finished, probably due to fate.
“What does it mean?” Casey furrowed his brows slightly.
Billy and the others also looked puzzled.
“Could it be that some powerful individual is threatening the Polar Domain, and these three fell due to that reason?” Harleen speculated.
“It’s possible,” Ivy nodded, then continued after a pause, “The place they mention should be the City of Angels, right? Could the person who killed them be in the City of Angels?”
With no other clues, they could only make such a speculation.
“Boss, should we break the array?” Casey asked after a while.
“Since they left a message, let’s give it a try,” Billy decided after a moment of contemplation.
Since the three of them set up the array intentionally to wait for someone with destiny, breaking the array wouldn’t be considered disrespectful to the deceased!
“Let me try first!” Casey said, picking up a chair from not far behind and extending it into the entrance.
Swish!
As soon as the chair entered the spatial range, several extremely sharp energy attacks slashed towards it, instantly disintegrating the chair.
Hiss!
Casey inwardly gasped, “The power of this energy attack array is probably enough to kill a strong Saint in the mid to late stage!”
“They are all experts of the Divine Realm, so the energy attack array they set up must not be underestimated,” Billy explained.
“Moreover, the energy attack array exists only in the circular space between the screen and the barrier.”
“If the array is not broken, even if someone can withstand the energy attack, they won’t be able to inherit their legacy.”
After a brief pause, he added, “The barrier set up by the experts of the Divine Realm, relying solely on brute force, probably few people in the entire Polar Domain can break it!”
“Okay!” Casey shrugged.
“Give me some time!” Billy said to the others before sitting down cross-legged.
Then, he released spiritual power to fill every corner of the sixth floor and began sorting out the formation lines.
As he had mentioned earlier, although this array was a high-level one, it was much simpler than the one at the entrance and had only one eye.
After about an hour, Billy located the eye.
Five minutes later, the array was decisively broken.
“Let’s try again!” Casey picked up another chair and extended it into the barrier.
As expected, this time, there was no response at all.
“Let’s go in! The barrier has disappeared,” Billy said, leading the three of them inside.
As he had said, the barrier had indeed disappeared, and the three of them walked straight to a spot about two to three meters from the dining table.
“Three esteemed predecessors, citizens of Glavale, Billy has brought friends to disturb this place. Please forgive us!”
Billy then deeply bowed to the three figures, and Casey and the others followed suit.
“Boss, their message didn’t mention how to obtain their legacy, what should we do about it?” Casey asked Billy.
“Casey, let me give you a new blade,” Billy said with a slight smile.
Casey was slightly puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“That blade should be Celestial Blade they referred to. It’s most suitable for you!” Billy pointed to the large blade next to Celestial Blade.
“I don’t need it. You should keep it, Boss!” Casey hesitated.
“According to Celestial Blade Art, to achieve perfection, only Celestial Blade is needed. This blade should be the one!”
“I can’t even practice Celestial Blade Art yet, so it’s useless for me to wield Celestial Blade.”
“My Bloodshadow Fury Blade is no less than Celestial Blade!” Billy smiled again, “It’s just that my current cultivation is too low to unleash the full power of the Bloodshadow Fury Blade!”
The Bloodshadow Fury Blade, forged from meteorite iron from beyond the domain, was specially passed down to him by the old man from Ether Mountain and was not an ordinary weapon!
“But…” Casey hesitated again.
“Go ahead!” Billy interrupted him, “Pick it up and give it a try!”
“Alright then!” Casey gave in.
He also understood that the Bloodshadow Fury Blade in Boss’s hands was extraordinary!
Casey then walked up to Celestial Blade and bowed slightly, saying, “Celestial Blade, pardon the interruption!”
After that, he reached out and picked up the jet-black great sword.
Boom!
As soon as his hand touched the hilt of the sword, a breath erupted from Celestial Blade.
Shortly after, it enveloped Casey instantly.
