Chapter 500 Hell Altar

’It really is an Emperor’s Weapon and a Holy Artifact...’

Looking at the Angel’s Staff floating before him, even he could feel a sense of pressure from the aura it released.

But soon after, the Celestial Demon Blade inside him hummed, and the encroaching pressure instantly vanished.

"We finally broke through!"

Seeing the levitating Angel’s Staff, a joyous expression appeared on the Angel Empress’s face. She took a step forward, arriving right before it.

She reached out a hand, and a holy light erupted from her five fingers.

"VMMMM—!"

At that moment, the floating Angel’s Staff seemed to sense the Angel Empress’s holy fluctuations. The aura of the Emperor’s Weapon receded, and it quickly fell into her hand.

Holding the Angel’s Staff, the Angel Empress’s aura seemed to intensify, growing even more powerful!

Chen Yu watched this scene quietly, showing no particular reaction.

After all, he had come this time specifically to help the Angel Empress obtain the Angel’s Staff.

Things had gone more smoothly than he’d expected.

With the Angel’s Staff secured, his mission was more or less complete.

This would settle the karmic debt!

"Congratulations, Empress, on once again wielding the Angel Holy Artifact," Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

The Angel Empress returned to her senses. With a thought, the Angel’s Staff in her hand vanished into her body. She looked at Chen Yu, a smile also gracing her face.

"This was all thanks to Fellow Daoist Chen. You are truly a person of destiny. From this day forward, the entire Angel Race will be your ally, advancing and retreating as one."

Hearing this, the smile on Chen Yu’s face grew even wider.

Receiving this promise from the Angel Empress was a truly unexpected delight.

Although the Angel Race was already an ally of the Human Race, with the Angel Empress’s personal promise, this alliance was now even stronger.

With the Angel’s Staff, an Emperor’s Weapon, in her hands, the Angel Empress’s power was likely now great enough to trade a blow or two with a Great Emperor.

Gaining such an ally was naturally an excellent outcome.

"You’re too kind, Empress. This was all part of our prior agreement. I was simply fulfilling my end of the bargain."

The Angel Empress smiled and opened her hand again. Two golden fruits appeared in her palm.

Looking at Chen Yu, she said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, these two Celestial Dragon Fruits were part of our agreement. Since you helped my race retrieve the Angel’s Staff, these now belong to you."

As she spoke, the two golden Celestial Dragon Fruits flew over to Chen Yu.

Looking at the two Celestial Dragon Fruits before him, Chen Yu didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted them as a matter of course.

"Empress, now that the Angel’s Staff is in hand, should we deal with the remaining three Hell Space-Time nodes?"

After putting away the Celestial Dragon Fruits, Chen Yu looked at the Angel Empress and asked.

The Angel Empress nodded. "Yes. With the Angel’s Staff, we can finally resolve the three space-time nodes. If you are not in a hurry, Fellow Daoist, how about you accompany me to see it done?"

"Alright, no problem."

Chen Yu immediately nodded in agreement.

He did have some thoughts regarding the Hell Space-Time nodes. Learning more about them now would help him be better prepared in the future.

"In that case, please, Fellow Daoist Chen!" The Angel Empress waved her hand, tearing space-time and creating a rift.

Chen Yu stepped into the space-time rift, and the Angel Empress followed close behind. The two of them quickly vanished.

Soon, the two reappeared in the valley.

The four stone pillars still stood, but their light had dimmed considerably.

The Angel Empress flicked a finger, and the four giant stone pillars immediately crumbled, completely destroyed.

Seeing this, Chen Yu was a little surprised.

’If she destroyed this spatial entrance, doesn’t that mean the space-time where the Holy Artifact was kept will be utterly annihilated?’

’Wouldn’t it have been better to leave it?’

As if sensing Chen Yu’s thoughts, the Angel Empress explained, "Fellow Daoist Chen, the Holy Artifact’s space-time existed because the Holy Artifact stabilized it. Now that the Holy Artifact has been removed, the space-time will annihilate itself soon enough anyway."

’So that’s how it is...’ Hearing the Angel Empress’s explanation, Chen Yu’s understanding cleared up, and he nodded.

"Let’s go. Fellow Daoist Chen, please follow me to the first Hell Space-Time node," the Angel Empress said. Chen Yu nodded, and soon, the two disappeared from the valley.

In the span of a breath, they arrived above a massive canyon on Angel Star.

Looking down from the sky, the canyon was extremely long, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The canyon was several hundred yards wide and seemed bottomless.

It was like a bottomless Abyss.

Gazing down at the great canyon that stretched for hundreds of miles, Chen Yu soon sensed a peculiar fluctuation of aura from its depths.

The fluctuation of Hell’s aura.

"This is the first space-time node," the Angel Empress said from beside him. "Although it’s temporarily sealed, some of Hell’s aura inevitably leaks out."

"This isn’t just a simple Hell Space-Time node, is it? Could it be one that was opened by a Hell Demon God-level entity?"

Chen Yu looked at the Angel Empress.

The Angel Empress nodded. "Mm, you’ve guessed correctly. It’s a space-time node opened by Hell Demon Gods. And not just one, but several. Although we managed to kill one back then, the rest returned to Hell. Even I was unable to stop them."

’They’re that powerful?!’

Hearing the Angel Empress’s words, Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

"There is a Hell Altar below. The Angel’s Staff can purify the altar and completely destroy the space-time node. Fellow Daoist Chen, let’s go down," the Angel Empress said.

Chen Yu nodded and followed the Angel Empress deep into the vast canyon.

Deep in the canyon, a black mist shrouded everything, and a chilling aura spread through the air.

Entering it was like stepping into Hell itself.

The aura of Hell was pervasive, making the very space here twisted and unstable.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the canyon, a massive altar appeared before them.

The altar was several hundred yards across, and a dense aura of Hell emanated from it.

This was the source of Hell’s aura.

Looking at the Hell Altar, he could see it was surrounded by layers of powerful formations that sealed it and prevented the aura of Hell from spreading.

"Empress!"

As the two appeared, a member of the Angel Race emerged from the darkness.

It was a Supreme Elder of the Angel Race!

His cultivation was at the level of a Tier Three True God.

"Empress, were you successful?" the Angel Race elder asked, approaching them with a look of anticipation.

The Angel Empress nodded and waved her hand, revealing the Angel’s Staff!

"It’s the Great Emperor’s staff!"

Seeing the Angel’s Staff, the Angel Race elder’s face was filled with excitement.

"VMM!"

The Angel Empress said nothing more. After revealing the Angel’s Staff, she directly infused a stream of Light Divine Power into it.

Instantly, the Angel’s Staff erupted with a brilliant, holy radiance.

A dazzling pillar of light shot out from the Angel’s Staff, blasting toward the Hell Altar.

The Hell Altar trembled, and a massive, illusory figure appeared.

"Damn it! The Staff of God! How could this thing appear here?!" the phantom roared, filled with unwillingness.

It looked at the Angel Empress, its boundless resentment erupting. "Damn you, Angel Race! The day my race enters the Mortal World will be the day your Angel Race is annihilated!"

The resentful roar echoed through the deep Abyss of the canyon.

"Hmph, you think you’re worthy?" the Angel Empress snorted coldly. She infused another stream of Light Divine Power into the Angel’s Staff, and a second pillar of light erupted, smashing into the Hell Altar.

"BOOM!!!"

This time, the Hell Altar could no longer hold on. It was utterly annihilated, turning to nothingness.

Then, a holy wave swept through the dark canyon, instantly cleansing every last trace of Hell’s aura!
