“You didn’t pass the trial. You are not allowed to enter here!” the twelve figures simultaneously said, their voices gloomy and ethereal.

Zhao Fu ignored those people and walked forwards.

Swish, swish, swish...

The twelve figures simultaneously acted, turning into black shadows, coming within 100 meters of Zhao Fu in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Fu held the Emperor Killing Sword as he stood still and looked at the incoming figures. There was a trace of disdain on his face as he slashed out, sending out a massive blood-red crescent.

The twelve figures were greatly startled and quickly retreated, narrowly escaping Zhao Fu’s attack. They had greatly underestimated his power.

The 12 figures were now serious and spread out to surround Zhao Fu. They gave off powerful auras and stabbed their weapons into the ground. Black auras flowed into the ground, creating twelves points on the ground that seemed to call out to each other.

A black magic formation appeared underneath Zhao Fu’s feet, and a large barrier appeared. This was the Assassin Domain, which Zhao Sha and the others had used before. Those within it would have their strength, speed, and agility greatly decreased.

Within the Assassin Domain, the 12 figures received a big boost to their strength, but they were still not a match for Zhao Fu. They once again attacked simultaneously, rushing at Zhao Fu with their weapons.

Zhao Fu did not want to continue wasting time with them like this. Even though he could feel a massive power locking him down, Zhao Fu still raised the Emperor Killing Sword and released its full power.

Boom!

A massive explosion sounded out as the Emperor Killing Sword gave off a large amount of blood-red light, causing a destructive power to ripple out. The ground immediately cracked, and the 12 figures were quickly covered by the light.

After everything settled down, a massive crater that was hundreds of meters wide had appeared, and 12 black pieces of jade floated above the crater. Zhao Fu stretched out his hand and grabbed them.

[Assassin – Darkness Soul Jade]: A bloodline legacy item left behind by a powerful Assassin. After using it, one can receive the Darkness Bloodline and grasp powerful skills and abilities.

After looking at the Darkness Jade, Zhao Fu smiled; this would be perfect for Great Qin’s 12 Assassin leaders, and they would make them even stronger. In the future, it would be easier for them to assassinate major figures. The Darkness Bloodline was not weak either, being a relatively high-grade bloodline.

Shing!

A sword hum suddenly sounded out as the sword on the middle stone stele turned into a ray of light and shot at Zhao Fu. It was incredibly fast and was like a black line as it stabbed towards Zhao Fu’s throat.

At that moment, Zhao Fu slashed out with his sword, sending out a sharp blood-red arc of light that knocked the incoming sword away.

After the exquisite black sword was knocked away, a powerful aura appeared in the air. The sword gave off a faint black light as a graceful woman’s figure in a cloak appeared. Even though Zhao Fu could not see her full appearance, just from the portion of her face that was revealed, he could tell that she was quite beautiful.

Suddenly, the woman grabbed that exquisite sword and disappeared, instantly reappearing behind Zhao Fu as she chopped towards his neck.

Bang!

Zhao Fu released his Emperor’s Domain in that moment with immense force, sending the woman flying ten or so meters. The woman stamped on the ground, stopping her body from sliding backwards, and she prepared to attack Zhao Fu once again.

However, Zhao Fu did not even look at her as he stretched out his hand, causing countless chains to shoot out with immense force. The woman continuously nimbly dodged, but she was still bound by the countless chains in the end and hung in the air.

Zhao Fu had a trace of a smile on his face as he walked over.

The woman desperately struggled and savagely glared at Zhao Fu as she watched him walk over. “You didn’t pass the trial; you used brute force to destroy the trial. You can’t obtain the legacy.”

Zhao Fu smiled as he said, “I don’t want to go through so much trouble. I just used the killing intent I obtained to easily pass. Right now, my strength greatly surpasses yours, so why should I abide by your rules?”

The woman coldly replied, “Then you can’t obtain the Legacy!”

Zhao Fu ignored her words and stretched out his hand towards her chest, covering her with his Emperor’s aura.

Gradually, the woman disappeared, leaving behind an exquisite sword.

This sword was bound by countless chains and continuously struggled. Zhao Fu grasped the sword and sent his Emperor’s Power into it, forcing it into submission.

Following this, Zhao Fu looked at the sword’s information with interest.

This sword was called the Assassin – Way of Kings Sword, and it was a weapon used by the King of Assassins. It contained King’s Power, and it greatly boosted one’s agility and stealth abilities.

The sword was a Level 1 Saint Armament and quite powerful, but it was helpless against Zhao Fu and easily forced into submission by him.

Zhao Fu looked around and found that the 13 massive stone steles were treasures as well. Every other day, they would form a Darkness Soul Jade. These Darkness Soul Jades naturally were not as powerful as the original 12, and they were weaker versions.

Apart from this, Zhao Fu also found that there was a stage behind the 13 stone steles, where there was a floating black ball. That was most likely the core of this historical remnant, and controlling it would allow one to control everything here.

Zhao Fu naturally didn’t hesitate as he chose to conquer it.

What Zhao Fu did not expect was for a massive amount of power and information to flow into his body. All of that instantly entered Zhao Fu’s mind, and all of the information was related to Assassins.

This was most likely the Legacy that the woman had spoken of. Zhao Fu went through the information and found information about the origin of these Assassins.

This Assassin Legacy came from the central area of the Heaven Awaken World, and it belonged to a large faction that had gone into decline.

With Zhao Fu’s current power, he very rarely used the Assassin profession’s power, but it was still quite useful now and then. It was much more useful than ordinary battle professions, so Zhao Fu decided to properly use it in the future.

Now that Zhao Fu had conquered the core of the historical remnant, he had full control over the historical remnant. He found that the monsters in here could only survive in the historical remnant, making it so that he could not nurture them himself. This disappointed him quite a bit.

If he could nurture them, they would have been another powerful force for Great Qin, but it seemed that this was not possible.

However, now that he had finished clearing the Assassin Historical Remnant, that was one thing off Zhao Fu’s mind.

After dealing with all of this, Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin, called the 12 Assassin leaders, and gave them the Darkness Soul Jades. After using them, their power would greatly increase, and they would obtain even more powerful Assassin skills.

Only 11 of the 12 Assassin leaders had come, and there was still one Darkness Soul Jade remaining. This was because Tuoba Qing had been one of them, but she had left Great Qin and no one knew where she was now.

These 12 special Darkness Soul Jades could only be used by the 12 Assassins who had been chosen by the Assassin Legacy, so Zhao Fu could only put aside the remaining piece for now.
