The Three Suns Sword Tomb returned to silence, leaving behind massive scorch marks across its surface.
The ecosystem of the sword tomb was utterly destroyed; of the 120,000 Sword Ghosts, only two or three thousand remained—a number already considered fortunate, with the rest reduced to fodder for the Night Wanderers.
The surviving Sword Cultivators wore expressions of despair as the spiritual energy within the arena grew increasingly thin.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
The Three Suns Sword Tomb descended toward the ground.
The Heavenly Sword Sect itself was a massive sword array. Whenever any sword tomb rose to prominence or fell into decline, the sect would autonomously adjust the elevation of the sword tomb.
As expected, the Three Suns Sword Tomb was on course to be relegated to a lower-level Taoist inheritance.
Climbing back to the ranks of mid-grade would be an unrealistic goal without centuries or millennia of accumulation.
