"You are all the cream of the crop in the Divine Realm, powerful gods who will rule the various planes in the future. May the Holy Light protect you forever."
Claude's voice was very calm. "Now, I will carry out the Battle Angel inheritance and blessing ceremony for you. Remember, Battle Angel is just a title, not a true Angel. As long as you become a Battle Angel, you will have a chance to break through to become a Four-Winged Radiant Angel. When that time comes, you will be the mainstay of the Divine Realm."
The group of contestants listened respectfully to the Ruler's teachings in silence.
The two Seraphs, Xi Yan and Eva, floated to Claude's left and right, one on each side. They looked at the contestants leisurely. Xi Yan said, "One by one. Tenth place, you go first."
The tenth place was a contestant carrying a heavy shield. He respectfully came to the center of the temple and stood still. He knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Lord Ruler, for your blessing!"
Claude, who was shrouded in the light, had an indiscernible expression on his face. He merely smiled and waved his hand. In an instant, a powerful wave of divine power enveloped the candidate's body. With a low growl, he fell to his knees, as though he was in great pain. His blood was pumping and his veins were bulging. A strange light elemental power surged in his body, as though it was about to burst his body.
Patter …
In the sky above the temple, the thousands of statues gathered their palms together. Drops of holy water condensed together. Suddenly, a drop fell, falling straight on the contestant's head. Immediately, a golden light burst out.
"Ahhhh …"
The contestant finally couldn't help but scream. His body twisted and struggled, and the shield in his hand repeatedly knocked against the stone bricks.
About two minutes later, the light dissipated. He lay on the ground powerlessly, but a pair of blood-red light wings flickered behind him. He had received the inheritance!
"Blood-Winged Battle Angel." The corner of Xi Yan's mouth rose.
Eva said, "I still remember the scene when I received the Blood-Winged Battle Angel's inheritance. Ouch, it was a nightmare. It hurt so much."
"Cough, cough …"
Claude coughed behind him, signaling the two restless seraphs to focus on the ritual and not speak nonsense.
In the center, the newborn Blood-Winged Battle Angel knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "Thank you for your blessings, Lord Juggernaut. I will do my best to dedicate my life to light and justice!"
Claude nodded. "Go, next."
"Number nine, step forward," Xi Yan reminded.
The ninth place was a girl. She walked up a little awkwardly and knelt down on one knee to receive the inheritance just like the others before her.
Soon, it was Zhou Ximin, Lake, and the others' turn. They had all obtained the Level-6 Battle Angel's Legacy and all had Blood Wings. When a pair of Blood Wings appeared behind Lake, Tarilyn whispered, "How do you feel?"
Lake's face was filled with excitement. "Thank you, Sovereign Lord. Thank you, Radiant Light. I can sense that my power is greater than ever before."
"Compared to before the inheritance?"
"Double the power!"
"Oh my god …" Tarilyn opened her mouth wide, seemingly looking forward to the inheritance blessing even more.
"Number three, Tarilyn," Xi Yan said softly.
Tarilyn stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
Not long after, a pair of Blood Wings appeared behind her. Her power of light greatly increased, and her entire temperament seemed to have changed. The confidence on her face became incomparably proud.
When she saw Xiyin and Dora again, Tarilyn could clearly feel that her power surpassed theirs.
"Number two, Dora."
Xi Yan frowned. She did not like Dora, because this kind of woman who would do anything for power was actually very annoying and frightening. It was said that in order to learn the martial arts of the Sea Breeze Clan in the trial, Dora did not even hesitate to sell her body and sleep with Luo Pei. However, Luo Pei had already been killed by Xiyin, and she did not feel any pity and was completely indifferent.
Dora piously stepped forward and knelt on one knee, saying, "Thank you, Lord Juggernaut. I will be loyal to the light for life."
Claude smiled in satisfaction and raised his hand to activate his divine power to bless.
Whoosh, whoosh …
Waves of golden air reverberated around Dora. She cried out miserably and fell to the ground, as if her reaction was very strong.
Li Fei could not help but frown. "What's going on? With Dora's cultivation, she shouldn't be in so much pain, right?"
Xi Yan squinted her beautiful eyes. "Is it the power of darkness?"
Eva opened her mouth, but did not say anything.
"Ahhhh …"
Dora's screams grew louder and louder. She was practically rolling on the ground. This did not seem like a blessing, but more like a curse.
"Lord Juggernaut, what's going on?" Xi Yan asked.
Claude's gaze was cold. "Pain is just to make her stronger."
Everyone just watched, and even felt a little sorry for her. Although Dora was bloodthirsty and cruel, making her suffer like this made people feel pity.
… …
Finally, after howling for nearly five minutes in the golden light, Dora slowly stood up, trembling. Behind him, a pair of black light wings unfurled with a whoosh!
"Heavens, a Black-Winged Battle Angel!"
Eva cried out in surprise.
Black-Winged Battle Angels, a cursed branch of the Battle Angel race.
"What's a Black-Winged Battle Angel?" Xiyin was confused.
The shock on Tarilyn's face had yet to fade, but she still explained, "Battle Angels are divided into three categories. One is the Blood-Winged Battle Angel, like us, and the other is the Black-Winged Battle Angel. Legend has it that the Black-Winged Battle Angel is a cursed member of the Angel race. Their strength is lower than the Blood-Winged Battle Angel, but as long as they continue to kill and absorb blood, their strength will increase, even far surpassing the Blood-Winged Battle Angel. There's another type of Battle Angel, but it's only a legend. No one knows."
Xiyin fell silent.
In the center of the temple, Dora knelt on the cold stone bricks, her whole body trembling, not out of fear, but out of excitement. Her face was full of a seductive smile. She knew that with her current strength, even three Xiyin's wouldn't be a match for her, because after transforming into a Black-Winged Battle Angel, she had broken through to the 50th Heaven Realm!
Blessings and inheritances were ways to imbue divine power into one's body, greatly stimulating one's potential. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many high-level cultivators in the Western Divine Realm, and they wouldn't be able to compete with the East Heaven at all.
Tarilyn, for example, was originally at the 29th Heaven Realm, but after receiving the blessing of the Blood-Winged Battle Angel, she broke through to the 45th Heaven Realm. In the future, when she obtained four or six wings, her cultivation would greatly increase. Angel wings were the privilege of the Western Divine Realm, and also their advantage.
"First place, Xiyin, accept the inheritance." Xi Yan smiled. She really didn't know how to hide her feelings, and her likes and dislikes were completely written on her face.
Xiyin stepped forward, and when he brushed past Dora, Dora sneered, and an almost inaudible voice floated into Xiyin's ears. "You better be able to inherit something stronger than me, or else … I'll definitely kill you!"
Xiyin didn't say anything, and only walked forward and knelt on one knee.
The corner of Claude's mouth rose, and he raised his hand to carry out the inheritance ceremony.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
Waves of golden air swirled, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a storm had wrapped around Xiyin's body. Instantly, a powerful force spread out, and even the entire temple trembled slightly. Dark clouds gathered outside, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
"Hmm?" Xi Yan looked at the sky outside in surprise.
Eva opened her small mouth, and her eyes squinted as she smiled. "This year's Chosen of the Gods Trial is really interesting …"
Claude was even more stunned, and he stared straight at Xiyin, who was enveloped in the light screen. Among everyone present, only he could see through the layers of golden light.
Outside, Dora clenched her fists, and her eyes were filled with anger and hostility. Even the black wings on her back spread out involuntarily, as if she was ready for a fierce battle.
Tarilyn, Lake, and the others looked at each other. Xiyin's power was getting stronger and stronger, and it was rising higher and higher, to the point where they felt an inexplicable sense of submission.
"So … so powerful …" Li Fei couldn't help but click her tongue.
Kulun clenched his fists. "Xiyin … what kind of identity does she have, to actually have such powerful light divine power …"
"Who knows …"
… …
The golden shockwaves became thinner and thinner. When the golden mist dissipated, Xi Yin was still kneeling on one knee. However, a pair of golden wings had appeared on her back!
"Gold … Golden-Winged Battle Angel …" Eva took a few steps back, and her face was filled with shock. "Xiyin actually inherited the Golden-Winged Battle Angel. Oh my god, what a blessing!"
Claude almost couldn't sit still anymore. He coughed and said, "Not bad, Xiyin, you really didn't let us down. The first place of this year's Chosen of the Gods Trial is actually the Golden-Winged Battle Angel. Very good."
Tarilyn was dumbfounded.
Lake murmured, "Xiyin's aura is so powerful. She's at least at the 50th level of Grotto-Heaven!"
Zhou Ximin's expression was solemn. "What's a Golden-Winged Battle Angel?"
Instructor Kulun's face was full of excitement as he explained in a low voice, "The Golden-Winged Battle Angel is the king of the Battle Angel race, superior to the Blood-Winged Battle Angels and Black-Winged Battle Angels. There's only one in ten thousand, and legend has it that there hasn't been a Golden-Winged Battle Angel in the past 100,000 years. I originally thought this was just a legend, but it seems like it isn't … Legend has it that the Golden-Winged Battle Angel is about 50% stronger than the Blood-Winged Battle Angel!"
Zhou Ximin was shocked.
Xiyin stood up, hid her wings, and returned to her original position. She glanced at Dora beside her, and said calmly, "Now, do you still want to kill me?"
Dora gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, "Then you have to be careful when you sleep at night."
"Okay, I welcome you at any time."
The corner of Xiyin's mouth rose, and she said, "Even if you don't come looking for me, I will come looking for you. Don't worry."
This time, it was Dora's turn to feel uneasy. Being targeted by a Golden-Winged Battle Angel was not a good thing.
…
Claude stood up, and his body was enveloped by a holy light. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, the ten of you have become the cream of the crop among the Battle Angels. This time's Chosen of God Trial is not so simple. You will receive a new mission, and you will form a team of ten to complete a mission that concerns the future of the entire Western Divine Realm. You have three days to rest, and that's it. Xiyin, you stay behind. "
"Yes, my lord."
