Three years... seven years... time passed day by day.
Until one day in the ninth year.
At the bottom of a deathly silent abyss, violent energy ripples suddenly appeared. Amidst the endless surge of abyssal demonic energy, one after another, vast and boundless auras descended.
A black ocean, a gigantic eyeball, and the "Lord of the Heavenly Ridge" carrying a towering stone pillar...
Hundreds of Abyss Supremes arrived simultaneously.
"We feel the tremors of the abyss, the shift of power. Could it be that our great Lord has departed from us?"
A rumbling sound rang out, and pairs of different eyes lingered on Anna, who stood indifferently, and the dying Demon Emperor, revealing a hint of greed.
The Demon Emperor is dead?
They exchanged a silent glance, then collectively moved forward, their immense pressure subtly coalescing into one, pressing down upon the others.
“Beings from all realms, this is not the place for you. Please step aside and allow us to go and pay homage to our Lord.”
Annalia suddenly opened her eyes, and a dazzling divine light shot out, instantly slicing through the almost solidified pressure, leaving a mark that separated heaven and earth on the path the group was traveling through.
"Those who cross the line shall die."
The cold voice was devoid of any emotion, as if stating something trivial.
The numerous Abyss Supremes let out a muffled groan and stopped in their tracks, looking at Analia with surprise and uncertainty.
Only then did they realize that the opponent's concealed aura contained unimaginable terrifying power and a life level far superior to their own.
"The Demon Emperor has passed on his power to you?!"
The leaders narrowed their eyes, their eyes flashing with undisguised jealousy and resentment.
Why should this being from all realms, who was not even of supreme power, be able to inherit the strongest power from the abyss? This is unfair!
Analia lowered her eyes and did not respond.
"Hey everyone, you're not scared by this little girl, are you?"
"Even if she inherited the Demon Emperor's power, how much of it can she actually use? Does she dare to offend all of us?"
“I remember this angel. When I encountered her in the various realms, she couldn’t even withstand a single move from me. Why does she stand above us?”
Many of the Abyss Supremes were secretly discussing the matter.
They are among the beings that absorb the most negative energy in the abyss, so they are naturally not benevolent.
However, despite their words, they all stopped at the scratches and did not continue forward, their eyes fixed on the black ocean.
The true form of the Endless Abyss spans hundreds of layers of abyss, almost endless; this is merely an avatar, making it the most suitable candidate for testing.
Splash... splash...
The water surges and flows, bravely spreading beyond the traces.
The next moment, Anna raised her pale right hand, and an unstoppable force enveloped her, instantly drawing in the massive black ocean that stretched for billions of feet.
When it gathered in front of her, it had been forcibly condensed into a pond-sized mass.
Endless flames of nothingness surged from all around, fiercely burning the black water.
squeak--!
A mournful wail echoed in the void, as if the clone was directly burning the soul of the original body, which was then evaporated in an instant.
"Her power is already close to that of the Demon Emperor!"
A supreme being from the abyss roared as he watched this scene, and in his shock, he inadvertently crossed the mark as well.
Anna flashed, and before any of the Supreme Beings could react, the transgressor was already being held by the neck and lifted into the air, like a little fish, unable to move.
The wings on his back turned as sharp as blades and suddenly pierced into the body of this supreme being of the abyss, tearing him apart violently.
Tap!
Before he could even scream, the supreme being's body was torn in two, and then sliced into countless pieces by the sharp edges of the wings!
Blood and flesh rained down from the sky, making the eighteen-winged angel appear like a true abyssal demon.
"Those who cross the line shall die."
The same words were repeated, but at this moment, all the Abyss Supremes showed fear and subconsciously took several steps back.
Wasn't this guy once an angel from the Holy Light pantheon?
Shouldn't it be a symbol of holiness, justice, and kindness? How come it's even more ferocious than the previous "Abyss Demon Emperor"?
They immediately hesitated.
The power of the abyss is shifting, and authority is changing hands. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we may be able to gain even greater power from it.
But the eighteen-winged angel before them was simply too powerful.
Perhaps if everyone rushed forward, the enemy might not be able to kill them all before they could advance to the next level, but no one wanted to be the first to stick their neck out.
In the midst of the silent stalemate, a clear sound of footsteps rang out.
Tap...tap...
From far to near, from bottom to top.
"Holy Lord!"
Anna, who had been standing indifferently, suddenly turned around, her icy expression thawing like a spring breeze, and she couldn't help but smile with excitement.
But then she seemed to realize something, and hurriedly folded her wings and black flames, her hands outlining the incantation for "Light and Shadow Spell" in an attempt to restore her wings and hair color to their original state. But when she tried, she found that she could no longer cast holy light spells.
In a moment of panic, I felt like a child who had done something wrong, completely at a loss.
"Anna, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."
Amidst the familiar voices, a man draped in a black robe appeared at the entrance. His deep gaze held no disdain, only a gentle smile and tenderness.
Anna, who was in a panic, immediately felt relieved and said happily, "Holy Lord, it's so good that you're alright."
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yan stepped forward, gently touched the other person's long hair that had turned deep purple, and smiled:
"However, I am no longer the Holy Lord; the Holy Light Law has left me."
"No, Holy Lord."
Anna slightly bent her long legs and whispered:
"Because you wield the Holy Light, it is called holy. When it loses your favor, it becomes a demonic art and is unworthy of being called holy."
"The definition of sainthood and evil does not lie in the things themselves. Being favored by you is sainthood, while opposing you is evil."
You're right.
Jiang Yan paused slightly, his smile widening. His hand slid down the other person's long hair to the wings on their back, and he suddenly exerted force.
Clang!
Dozens of chains were crushed instantly.
He held the broken chains in his hand and looked down at the assembled supreme beings of the abyss.
puff!
The moment the gaze fell upon them, everyone felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, and they were all thrown away, spitting out blood.
But they dared not complain at all, and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground: "Master, please forgive us, master, please forgive us, we were just in a hurry..."
Jiang Yan's left hand remained expressionless, as if making a loose fist.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Seven of the Abyss Supremes exploded instantly.
He then tore open space and pulled it out with a sudden jerk. An endless ocean spanning hundreds of layers of abyss was pulled away, writhing in terror in his palm like a small loach.
"Master, spare me... spare me... ah!"
With his palms clasped together, this eternal and supreme being, who had instilled fear in countless planes, vanished without even a ripple.
He reached out and forcibly fused the remaining power of the eight fallen Abyss Supremes, forging it into the shape of a longsword. Finally, two beams of divine light shot from his eyes onto the sword, endowing it with supreme divine power.
"Anna, your new weapon."
"Thank you, Holy Lord."
Annalia gripped the longsword with delight.
Her original weapons had been destroyed by the power of the abyss when she inherited the power.
This weapon, which combines the power of eight powerful Abyss Sovereigns and a trace of Abyss Authority, far surpasses any weapon she has ever seen.
Upon seeing this, the Abyss Supremes prostrated themselves even lower, their hearts almost stopped, for fear that the slightest sound would attract attention.
The enemy is still missing a piece of armor!
"Wear these chains and do not break free without my command."
Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and released the chains, which immediately embedded themselves into their bodies.
"As you wish, master."
The Abyss Supremes, feeling immense pressure, actually breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully accepted the order.
I dared not have any other thoughts.
Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Just like when the "Lord of the Abyss" punched the core of all realms.
The abyss beneath His feet also unfolded automatically, layer by layer, until it reached the first layer.
"You all, heed my command: summon the Abyss Legion, follow in the footsteps of the Holy Lord, and be ready at any time."
Analia gave a brief instruction to the group of Abyss Supremes, sheathed her longsword, and followed closely behind.
