NOVEL NEXT Chapter 335: Lanny Becomes King!
Angel Holy City, central square.
Under the gaze of thousands of angels, the statue of the Twelve-winged Angel, symbolizing the supreme faith of the Angel Race...
emitted a dull and strange sound without any warning!
"Crack—"
A sinister crack spread upwards from the base of the statue, instantly spanning several meters.
The entire crowd was in an uproar!
All the angels were dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at this horrifying scene.
Perceiving the anomaly, five Totem Ninth Rank Angels' faces changed drastically and they appeared instantly around the statue.
"What's going on?!"
Order Angel Milo exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes full of wonder.
"Could it be that something went wrong inside the Trial Space?!"
It must be known that this statue is closely connected to the Trial Space.
Though its material is unclear, they have tried before...
Even if they exert their full power, the damage to this statue would be negligible.
And now...
The entire statue has actually split open with a crack several meters long.
"Boom—"
As if to respond to their shock, a phantom of red Fire of Destruction burst out from the crack.
Instantly permeating the surrounding space, exuding a terrifying aura of incinerating all things!
War Angel Liu Ye stared solemnly at the sinister crack, his gaze completely settled.
The aura around him began to surge uncontrollably, the air filled with a suffocating aura of slaughter.
His daughter Liu Li was still inside the Trial Space! If this anomaly signifies a collapse...
At the thought that Liu Li might encounter disaster, a frightening red surged in Liu Ye's eyes, as if scenes of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were emerging behind him!
The temperature of the entire Holy City suddenly dropped to freezing point!
"Liu Ye! Calm down!"
Order Angel urgently stepped forward, voice heavy like never before, "The situation is unclear, you must not act rashly!"
However, the boiling killing intent around Liu Ye was like a volcano about to erupt!
"Even if you want to forcefully break into the Trial Space now..."
Order Angel's voice carried unprecedented gravity:
"But you cannot predict the consequences of doing so! What if it leads to the complete collapse of the already anomalous Trial Space?!"
This remark was like a basin of cold water, instantly dousing Liu Ye's imminent violent aura.
His tightly clenched fists slowly loosened, the boiling killing intent receding like a tide.
He had to admit, Milo was right—
The consequences of forcefully breaking the space were unpredictable, he couldn't gamble Liu Li's safety on an unknown possibility.
However, in this suffocating moment of stalemate—
"Buzz!"
The space suddenly issued a violent fluctuation, and two figures accompanied by dazzling light stumbled to appear in the center of the square!
It was Lanny and Leia, sent out early by Gu Xing!
All eyes instantly focused!
Liu Ye's figure appeared before the two like a flash, his speed leaving an afterimage.
Being anxious about Liu Li's safety, he even forgot to restrain that terrifying Totem Ninth Rank pressure.
The overwhelming aura pressed on Lanny and Leia like a mountain, their faces turning pale, with almost no ability to breathe or even raise their heads!
"Liu Ye! Calm down!"
Judgment Angel reacted quickly, stepping forward.
Equally powerful aura gently unfolded, like a shield, isolating Liu Ye's pressure.
"Your daughter will surely be fine! But like this, how can they speak to explain the situation?"
With Judgment Angel's reminder, Liu Ye suddenly awoke, immediately retracting all his aura.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions, eyes blazing as he stared at the frightened Lanny and Leia, voice low and urgent:
"What exactly happened in the Trial Space?"
"Why didn't Liu Li come out with you?"
Lanny opened her mouth, ready to explain...
"Crack! Crack, crack—!"
A series of even more jarring and dense cracking sounds suddenly exploded from the twelve-winged statue behind everyone!
That originally several-meter-long crack was now crazily spreading and branching at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly covering more than half of the statue!
Countless pieces of rubble and light flakes sprayed out from the cracks, and the entire statue emitted an unbearable groan, as if it would disintegrate completely in the next second!
"Boom!!!"
The cracks on the twelve-winged statue suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and a torrent of violent energy like a flood breaching a dam surged forth from it!
That energy contained an intense aura of destruction, yet strangely mixed with an indestructible will of protection, two completely different law forces rudely entwined and collided...
Forming a destructive storm strong enough to tear apart space, sweeping in all directions!
"Damn it!" The Judgment Angel's expression changed dramatically, being the first to react, "The energy is out of control! Everyone, defense!"
With a roar, he unleashed the full power of the Totem Ninth Rank without reservation.
It transformed into a thick golden barrier, blocking the forefront!
The Great Angels of Order, Wisdom, and Guardian also understood the critical situation, instantly pushing their powers to the limit...
Four powerful energy shields layered in an attempt to jointly resist this terrifying impact!
However, this violent energy from the original source of the Trial Space was too terrifying!
The defensive light curtain laid down by the four Great Angels immediately emitted an unbearable groan and violently trembled upon contact with the energy storm, the cracks on the surface rapidly spreading!
Their faces turned pale at a visible speed, bodies slightly trembling, clearly struggling to support it.
Only the War Angel Liu Ye, after the initial shock, slowly loosened his clenched fists instead.
He carefully perceived the familiar aura within that destructive storm—
Indeed, it was mixed with the aura of Liu Li's Guardian Law and Destruction Law!
"Liu Ye! What are you standing there for! Do something! We can't hold on!"
The Order Angel Milo already had a trace of golden blood at the corner of his mouth, his voice urgent with gasps, shouting at Liu Ye.
The other three Great Angels also cast anxious glances.
Liu Ye took a deep breath, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes.
He stepped forward, and the crimson War Flame around him soared into the sky!
That scorching and commanding aura instantly suppressed all the energy fluctuations in the scene!
Instead of reinforcing the shaky joint defense, he walked straight to the front of the energy storm!
Under the astonished gazes of the four Great Angels, he slowly opened his arms toward that destructive energy torrent—
"Scatter."
There was no earth-shattering collision, only a calm yet supremely authoritative whisper.
That violent energy, enough to destroy half of the Holy City, when it touched the War Flame around Liu Ye...
It became as tame as a gentle stream encountering a scorching iron, making a "hiss" sound, and then...
It evaporated and dissipated into nothingness!
The entire scene fell into silence.
The four Great Angels maintained their defensive posture, staring wide-eyed at this scene before them.
As if truly realizing for the first time the terrifying realm of strength this War Angel, who had long guarded the borderlands, had reached.
Liu Ye slowly withdrew his hands, once again gazing at the statue covered in cracks, with only pure worry left in his eyes.
With the destructive energy storm resolved by Liu Ye's absolute power, the tense atmosphere finally slightly eased.
The still-shaken Lanny and Leia, prompted by the inquiries of several Great Angels, began to narrate haltingly everything that had happened within the Trial Space.
From the choice in the Guardian Trial, to the absolute power Liu Li displayed in the Destruction Trial, and finally Liu Li handing the crown over to Lanny.
Everything was revealed entirely.
Upon hearing that Liu Li had willingly relinquished the crown of the Angel King and passed it on to Lanny, a subtle fluctuation flashed in Liu Ye's eyes.
He remained silent for a moment, not saying much, just slowly nodding.
To him, the throne itself was meaningless.
He had been willing to lend his full support earlier simply because his daughter Liu Li desired it.
Now, since it was Liu Li's own choice to bestow this responsibility and authority upon Lanny, he would unconditionally respect and support his daughter's decision.
His gaze slowly swept over the four Great Angels of Judgment, Order, Wisdom, and Guardian, his eyes calm yet carrying undeniable authority.
The lingering war flame around him, not yet fully retracted, seemed to solidify the surrounding air.
"The matter is clear now."
Liu Ye's voice was not loud, yet it clearly spread across the entire scene, "From this moment on, Lanny is the new leader of the Angel Race."
He paused slightly, his gaze dropping onto the four Great Angels like a tangible weight, as he asked, word by word:
"Among you four, who approves, who opposes?"
