Chapter 57 The Past of the Celestial Realm
The moment Xu Ruo's icy voice fell, an incredibly violent aura suddenly erupted from his body!
He was clearly just standing there, not even using a trace of magic power.
Yet, just that terrifying aura alone...
Pressured the two angels so much they could hardly move, and cold sweat instantly soaked their foreheads!
Fear was impossible to hide in their eyes!
At this moment, they finally realized how terrifying and formidable the man before them was!
Seeming to suddenly remember something, the blonde angel trembled as she resisted the pressure, saying:
"You... you're not human!"
"You... you are..."
Before she could continue, in the next instant...
A figure radiating a holy aura suddenly emerged!
Six holy silver-white angel wings abruptly unfurled, shielding them from Xu Ruo's pressure!
"Holy, Holy Lord!"
The two women never expected that the strongest angel, known as the Six-Winged Holy Lord, would appear so quickly!
The Six-Winged Holy Lord rarely met people on ordinary days; she usually stayed in the core of the Heaven Realm, stabilizing its space.
For her to rush here so quickly now...
Not only proved that the man before them was terrifying, but also...
Validated the blonde angel's suspicion from just now!
"Withdraw!"
The Six-Winged Holy Lord spoke, her voice cold and clear.
The two women felt as if they had received a grand pardon and hurriedly backed away several steps.
Meanwhile, the Six-Winged Holy Lord finally looked Xu Ruo directly in the face.
Her gaze was calm and solemn.
Her long silver hair danced lightly in the wind, but as she looked at Xu Ruo, her peerless beauty held a hint of gravity—
"Xu Ruo, as the Demon King of the Human Realm, what business brings you to my Heaven Realm?"
"Hand over the angel who went to the Human Realm today, and I will leave." Xu Ruo's expression remained indifferent:
"Otherwise, face the consequences!"
Xu Ruo didn't seem to care about the strongest angel standing before him.
The Six-Winged Holy Lord's eyes flickered slightly.
She couldn't quite understand Xu Ruo's intentions.
The Heaven Realm and the Human Realm had always minded their own business.
In fact, for over a hundred years, no angel in the Heaven Realm knew what had happened in the Human Realm...
Why would he be so hostile to the Heaven Realm just to find a single lowly angel for no apparent reason?
But she also knew...
With her strength, she was absolutely no match for the man in front of her.
After a moment's thought, she waved her hand at Xu Ruo and said:
"Follow me. I will take you to check the angel registry to see exactly which angel you are looking for."
Having said that, the Six-Winged Holy Lord didn't wait for Xu Ruo's answer and took the lead, stepping through the Gate of the Heavenly Realm!
Seeing this, Xu Ruo said nothing more.
He lifted his foot and followed.
Passing through the white light gate, the scene before him suddenly shifted.
A majestic and grand palace came into view, the ground beneath his feet white as jade, exuding a holy aura.
Being inside, one felt as if they were being cleansed by a pure spirit!
This was the domain of the angels.
Xu Ruo couldn't be bothered to observe the layout.
After all, this wasn't his first time here.
Last time, he had nearly slaughtered his way through this place...
If the Goddess hadn't appeared to stop his slaughter, there probably wouldn't be any angels left in this world.
However...
One thing surprised Xu Ruo...
The Six-Winged Holy Lord could actually recognize his identity?
The last time he came to the Heaven Realm, he had been wearing the demon king armor, which had a cognitive interference effect.
But this time...
Before Xu Ruo could figure it out, the Six-Winged Holy Lord had already opened the doors to the main hall.
Inside the doors—
All the angels currently remaining in the Heaven Realm were lined up on both sides.
Among them were the two Four-Winged Angels from earlier!
Seeing the Holy Lord bring that man into the main hall, everyone was shocked!
But they didn't dare to make any noise.
The Six-Winged Holy Lord stopped in the center, stood with her hands behind her back, scanned the angels, and said calmly:
"Open the angel registry and check which angel went to the Human Realm recently."
The angels looked at each other.
Although they didn't know the man's background.
Being personally brought to the main hall by the Holy Lord meant his identity was clearly extraordinary.
The blonde angel also quickly retracted her hostility.
As a holy light bloomed, a pure white key appeared in her hand.
As she inserted the key into an ancient door in the center of the main hall, a blue light screen emerged in the next moment.
The blue light screen displayed not only the portraits of the angels but also their various information—even where they were now and what they had done was clearly recorded!
As the pages turned, portraits of angels flashed by rapidly.
However, every angel currently in the Heaven Realm was recorded therein!
But no matter who it was...
There was no record of anyone leaving the Heaven Realm!
Finally, the angel registry stopped on the penultimate page.
The next page was the Six-Winged Holy Lord's own record!
The blonde angel was clearly hesitant about whether to turn to the next page.
The Six-Winged Holy Lord gave her a signaling look.
Helpless, the blonde angel could only reach out and flip to the last page!
However...
Under Xu Ruo's gaze, the information displayed on the last page still showed no issues!
It recorded the Six-Winged Holy Lord's grooming and her actions...
But there was no record of her leaving the Heaven Realm...
Xu Ruo's eyes didn't flicker at all; he said nothing.
The Six-Winged Holy Lord waited quietly for his reaction.
The angels didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
For a time, the main hall was silent!
After a long while.
Only then did Xu Ruo confirm...
The one who tried to induce Mira to attack the tombstone this time was not an angel from the Heaven Realm.
Having confirmed this, Xu Ruo didn't waste any more time staying in the Heaven Realm.
He only left a final warning:
"I don't care about those non-threatening ants."
"But you... if you dare to meddle with the Human Realm again, I will slaughter the entire angel race!"
In the next moment, under the terrified gazes of the angels, he turned and left!
His figure turned into a streak of black light and vanished from the hall in the blink of an eye!
Only after his figure had completely disappeared did the tense atmosphere slightly relax.
The red-haired angel asked the Six-Winged Holy Lord with lingering fear, "Holy Lord, that person just now... what exactly is his background?"
The Six-Winged Holy Lord's expression returned to calm.
She slowly turned around, her gaze sweeping over the angels before finally landing on the spot where Xu Ruo had vanished, replying cryptically—
"The Demon King of the Human Realm, Xu Ruo."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the angels present gasped.
Xu Ruo...
Wasn't that the Demon King Xu Ruo who, over a hundred years ago, had slaughtered the vast majority of angels single-handedly?!
The angel race of the past was powerful!
There were no fewer than a dozen Four-Winged Angels alone!
There were nearly ten thousand Two-Winged Angels!
The Six-Winged Holy Lord of that time wasn't the silver-haired girl before them.
But an even more powerful Six-Winged Archangel!
But...
After that spine-chilling massacre, only the hundred or so angels currently in the Holy Temple remained.
As for Four-Winged Angels...
Only a mere three remained...
If Tasia hadn't broken through in a desperate situation to become the current Six-Winged Holy Lord...
The Heaven Realm would have long since...
Thinking of how this Demon King had nearly caused the angels to perish...
All the angels were silent as cicadas in winter.
They were filled with lingering fear!
Fortunately, the Holy Lord appeared in time today, otherwise the tragedy of that year might have repeated itself.
"This person must not be provoked."
"If I find out anyone dares to provoke this man..."
"Don't blame me for disregarding our kinship!"
Tasia's voice remained cold, but it now held a touch of ruthless killing intent!
The angels all nodded in unison, not daring to disobey.
Seeing this, Tasia turned back to look at the gradually fading streak of black light.
She didn't withdraw her gaze for a long time.
After a while, until Xu Ruo's figure had completely vanished from the Heaven Realm, Tasia sighed softly—
"Back then... if I had successfully stopped the Clan Leader from exiling Gabriel..."
"Would the ending... have been different..."
...
