Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 5

Chapter 963: Anyone Who Touches it Shall be Killed

The numerous heirs and universe knights floating in midair all stared at the eye-catching, giant silver wings before the manor gate, all eager to claim them.

"That is a true treasure," said a universe knight. "If I could get one, it would be so valuable that I wouldn't need to come to the Land of Inheritance ever again."

A creaking sound.

Surprisingly, the closed gate to Luo Feng's mansion opened again, startling the numerous heirs in the distance. Wasn't Blade River Emperor dead? Why was his gate opening from the inside?

An emperor-level, undying great being, whose godly body seemed like being carved of diamonds, stood at the gate in green armor. It was Luo Feng's slave, Honed Heart Emperor.

"Heirs," said Honed Heart Emperor loudly. "Blade River Emperor is not dead. You are not permitted to touch his treasure. If any of you touches it, you are essentially stealing from Blade River Emperor. I believe that every heir present understands the rules of the Ancestral God School. The five-color aurora lake protects every heir. If any of you dares to kill another heir, you will be attacked and annihilated. Seizing the treasures from other heirs is just as grievous a crime as assailing and killing them. By doing so, you will also be destroyed."

Tens of millions of heirs looked at Honed Heart Emperor who dared not step out from the manor gate.

The rumbling voice of a demon clan heir spoke up. "Blade River Emperor is not dead? How do you know that? And who are you, anyway? I have never met you on Bauhinia Island before."

"I am Blade River Emperor's soul slave," said Honed Heart Emperor. "I have never left this mansion. If my master Blade River Emperor is dead, then so am I. If I am alive, it means that my master is also alive. I say again, none of you shall touch my master's treasure. If you touch it, you will be stealing from a fellow heir, and the five-color aurora lake will kill you."

Honed Heart Emperor's voice echoed through the air of Bauhinia Island.

Tens of millions of heirs hesitated. If they stole a treasure from a living heir, they would certainly be killed. But if an heir was dead, his treasure would become ownerless and up for grabs to anyone.

Swish!

A figure dove at the silver wings. In the blink of an eye, a stream of black light had arrived at the mansion gate.

"I will make the most out of a bad situation," announced the black, shadowy figure. "Having been trapped in the last step for billions of years without achieving any results, I shall gamble for success this time! I saw with my own eyes that the Blade River Emperor was annihilated. How can I trust the words of someone I don't even know? Humph! As long as the Blade River Emperor is truly dead and I acquire this pair of valuable wings, no other heirs will dare attack me. Besides, my clan members and I can exchange this true treasure for plenty of resources. Perhaps I can even break through the last phase and become a universe knight!"

"Don't!" shouted Honed Heart Emperor.

Some greedy heirs were irritated. "We hesitated, and now he is a step ahead of us!" However, they dared not steal the treasure.

"It is mine!" said the black shadow as he grabbed the silver wings.

The moment his sharp claws touched the silver wings, an invisible force froze the area in a space ripple. Mud Swallowing Knight had not been able to escape from this very force last time; neither could the black shadow.

"No!" said the black shadow as he felt himself locked in the space ripple. He issued a shrill cry. He refused to accept his doom! If he died today, all the treasures he had accumulated over many years would be gone. Even if his clan members resurrected him in the future, he would have lost his opportunity for inheritance. It had already been difficult for him to break through to the last step. He would only be worse off after being resurrected.
