Chapter 110: Angel Nine Trials

Wuhun Empire, Wuhun City.

"What? The Jiemie Squad has been wiped out? Over five hundred Spirit Masters lost across five cities?"

Bibi Dong was furious; facing Hu Liena, who stood with her head bowed in self-reproach, her aura surged around her, her robes billowing without wind. Anyone else would have surely faced severe punishment.

But Hu Liena was not only her favorite disciple to her; she was more like her daughter.

Even though she already had Qian Renxue, the scale of that emotion had involuntarily tilted toward Hu Liena.

Afterwards, she asked, unable to hide her sorrow: "Xie Yue and Yan... are both dead?"

Hu Liena replied, her voice choked: "Yes..."

Hu Liena felt deep grief at the passing of her brother and closest friend, her heart wrung as if by a knife.

And Bibi Dong was at the peak of her rage; she clenched her teeth and vowed: "Tang Chen, this Emperor will definitely make you pay with your life!"

Unfavorable intelligence arrived one after another; Bibi Dong had already learned that the two great empires had launched large-scale military operations, their targets pointing directly at the Wuhun Empire.

"Very well! This Emperor wants to see on what basis you dare to contend with my Spirit Legion."

"Nana, issue my order: summon the Sect Masters of the Seven Sects, and all Empire-enfeoffed Spirit Masters above the rank of Bishop to convene for discussion. Since they wish to stake everything on a single battle, then I shall grant them their wish."

"Yes, Teacher."

In the entire Wuhun Empire, only Hu Liena could address Bibi Dong without using the title "Your Majesty."

On the other side, having learned that the great war had begun.

Tang San did not head to the battlefield; instead, he moved toward the direction of Sea God Island.

"With my current strength, going to the front lines would only mean throwing myself to death!"

Knowing his strength was insufficient, he did not rashly join the battle, deciding first to elevate his soul power realm.

"Great-Grandfather, Sea God Douluo..."

Tang San seemed to have made a certain resolve, speeding toward Sea God Island at full force.

Shortly after, Zhou Yu returned to Wuhun City.

However, he did not discover Tang San's whereabouts.

"That little wretch actually didn't come to the front! Looks like he's scared and hiding somewhere!"

Just as Zhou Yu was preparing to go discuss countermeasures with Bibi Dong.

Suddenly, the Seventh Offering Hall Guardian, the Demonic Douluo, blocked his path.

"Zhou Yu, the Great High Priest requests your presence!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was instantly stunned.

He did not understand why Qian Daoliu would send someone to find him.

In the Elder Hall, Qian Renxue's entire body was enveloped in a layer of golden radiance.

She stood quietly in the center of the Elder Hall, facing that massive six-winged Angel Statue. Completely different from when she first arrived here, she was now no longer someone who could only worship before the Angel God Statue; she had become the core of this great hall, just like the Angel God Statue.

"Are you ready?"

A hoarse yet calm voice sounded.

Qian Renxue slowly raised her head; her eyes were entirely golden, emitting a light filled with a sacred aura. She spoke in a cold and indifferent voice: "Yes, I am ready."

A towering figure leisurely stepped out from behind the Angel God Statue, his figure upright and his momentum majestic. With his appearance, a rugged and powerful voice also became much clearer, as if piercing through the dust of the ages: "My existence is to wait for the arrival of this day. For this day, I have waited for over a hundred years. Come with me."

The one who stepped out from behind the Angel God Statue was none other than the Great High Priest of the Wuhun Empire, one of the three peerless Douluo, the Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu led Qian Renxue flying forward; it felt as if a century had passed, when suddenly the surrounding scenery cleared, the illusory sensation vanished, and a sense of reality returned.

Qian Renxue was surprised to find that she and her grandfather had arrived inside a great hall.

Positioned beneath the vast, boundless curtain of the night sky, where stars twinkled like lost pearls, she felt as if she were standing within a palace sailing through the starry sea.

This palace was shaped like a six-pointed star; six towering golden pillars, like the hands of heavenly gods, steadily held up the dome. The surroundings were vast and empty, with only the void for company.

Beneath her feet, the dome, and even those six brilliant golden pillars were all engraved with complex and mysterious patterns. These patterns drew inspiration from the light wings of angels, weaving together scenes that transcended the mortal world.

In the very center of the hall stood a three-meter-tall Angel Statue. Its form was identical to the masterpiece inside the Elder Hall, only slightly smaller in size, displaying exquisite detail.

This statue was not gilded with brilliant gold; instead, it was presented in a dim gray, revealing an unusual silence. Before the statue's solemn presence, a gray long sword was deeply embedded in the earth, complementing it perfectly.

Behind the statue, six wings spread out, every detail visible, as if ready to flap and take flight at any moment. It was lifelike, leaving one in awe.

"Grandfather, where is this?"

Arriving in this strange world, Qian Renxue's voice finally regained a touch of human warmth.

A strange smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. He beckoned to Qian Renxue and said: "This is the true Angel Temple, the place of the Angel God inheritance. Child, come here."

Under Qian Daoliu's guidance, Qian Renxue walked slowly to the base of that solemn Angel God Statue.

Qian Daoliu gently took her hand, gazing deeply at the new diamond-shaped golden gem on her forehead, and said in a heavy voice: "You will awaken the former glory of this place, letting the light of the angels shine upon the human world once more. This place is not only the sacred ground for the ultimate trial of the Angel Nine Trials, but also the starting point for you to formally inherit the position of the Angel God and step into the Divine Realm. Douluo Dalu has not seen divine miracles for a long time. And you are about to become the supreme power on this continent, leading the Wuhun Empire to the peak of glory."

Qian Renxue's eyes instantly lit up, with intense divine brilliance flashing within her golden pupils.

At this moment, a figure suddenly floated into her mind: the one who had once defeated her.

"Tang San, when we meet again, you will have only two choices: submit or be destroyed."

"Xiaoxue."

Qian Daoliu's voice pulled Qian Renxue back from her thoughts.

"Grandfather, what should I do?"

Qian Renxue's gaze became firm once more. For some reason, whenever she thought of Tang San in her mind, her whole heart became fiery.

Qian Daoliu pointed to the round, transparent gem on the hilt of that dull, lightless long sword before the Angel God Statue, and said: "Use your blood."

Qian Renxue took a sharp, deep breath; she knew the final moment had finally arrived.

Her right hand slowly rose and covered that gem.

Suddenly, a stream of strangely colored blood was instantly sprayed from her cut middle finger by her Angel soul power, staining the gem on the sword hilt.

Qian Daoliu stood aside, witnessing everything happening before his eyes.

At this moment, he also sensed Zhou Yu's presence.

Zhou Yu arrived at the Elder Hall and had just stepped inside.

A hoarse yet calm voice immediately sounded in his mind: "Zhou Yu, this one earnestly begs you to help Xiao Xue pass the Angel's Ninth Trial and obtain the inheritance of the Angel God!"

Zhou Yu was stunned and replied with his spiritual power: "Are you Qian Daoliu?"

After a moment, that hoarse voice came again: "Correct! This one knows you have also obtained the inheritance trial of the Sea God. Helping Xiao Xue is also helping yourself! The Sea God and the Angel God are originally..."

"..."

After hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Zhou Yu finally agreed to help Qian Renxue pass the Angel's Ninth Trial.
