My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 384 - 385
At this moment.
The battlefield, shrouded in smoke, presented a peculiar tranquility.
Gu Xing sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly closed.
He was enveloped by layers of dense, almost liquefied pure energy from the Demon Race, like a massive dark light cocoon.
This energy originated from the large number of high-tier Demon Race members that had just been slain.
At this moment, he was absorbing and refining it at an astonishing speed.
Not only him, but Liu Li, Vera, and all other Contracted Beasts were steadily enhancing their auras.
Lilith, witnessing this scene, approached the Snow Woman.
"Little Snow, Gu Xing was at Monarch Tier Five before. After absorbing so much Demon Race energy this time, his level might reach Monarch Peak!"
The Snow Woman focused her perception for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her ice-blue eyes, and she nodded gently:
"Yes, the total amount of this energy is probably enough to support dozens of Monarch Tier Five Beast Masters ascending to the Peak."
"Although the total energy Gu Xing needs for each advancement is enormous, this time..."
"Reaching Monarch Peak is definitely not a problem!"
With the Snow Woman’s confirmation, Lilith’s gaze once again fell on Gu Xing at the core of the energy.
A hint of undisguisable envy appeared in her eyes.
"Speaking of which, both you and I are Totem Level!"
"But for some reason, seeing Liu Li and Vera keep breaking through with Gu Xing, I can’t help feeling... a little envious."
The Snow Woman was silent for a moment. She glanced at Lilith before slowly speaking:
"Perhaps you’re not envious of Liu Li and Vera’s growing power; you’re envious of them being able to grow with Gu Xing."
"Maybe only when you truly become Gu Xing’s Guardian Beast can you... completely let go of this mindset."
"But..."
She paused, turning to Lilith, her tone becoming serious:
"Have you really not considered telling Gu Xing to contract with you first?"
"Now Liu Li and Vera’s strength already surpasses yours; they don’t need your Totem-level strength to lead the charge."
"Why not propose a contract with Gu Xing?"
Lilith fell into a longer silence after hearing this.
After a while, she whispered with some hesitation:
"Let’s... wait a bit longer. That spot will remain available after all."
"And... for some reason, I feel it’s hard to bring it up and ask him to contract with me."
The Snow Woman looked at her friend’s awkward expression and shook her head helplessly:
"You’re so stubborn. If one day Gu Xing thinks it’s a waste for this spot to remain idle and gives it to someone else, you’ll have nowhere to cry!"
However, Lilith didn’t seem to mind.
She still wanted to wait for Gu Xing to propose a contract with her.
Unlike Lilith and the Snow Woman’s whispering conversation.
Long Zhenguo and others nearby were vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Gu Xing was now humanity’s only hope.
Anyone else could afford to be in jeopardy, but not Gu Xing!
This was previously the battlefield against the Demon Race.
Therefore, with Gu Xing leveling up, they couldn’t afford to relax their vigilance even a bit.
"Verlo, you’re in charge of the south side!"
"Clan Leader You, I entrust the east side to you!"
"Qing, Master Liu Xia, the west side is in your hands!"
"I’ll personally guard the north side! Ensure absolute security!"
"Understood!"
"Rest assured!"
Everyone replied in unison, immediately spreading out to guard each side.
They expanded their Spiritual Power fully, vigilantly scanning every inch of ground and sky around them.
Although most of the Demon Race had been purged, no one dared guarantee the absence of stragglers or other potential threats.
Gu Xing was the hope of the Human Race and the entire alliance; his safety was paramount.
Time passed in silence.
No one knew how much time passed before the massive energy light cocoon around Gu Xing suddenly contracted inward, being completely absorbed by him like a whale drinking water!
"Buzz—!"
A powerful aura erupted from him, spreading outward! His level began to climb rapidly!
Monarch Tier Six!
Monarch Tier Seven!
Monarch Tier Eight!
Monarch Tier Nine!
Finally, the aura stabilized at the peak of Monarch Tier Nine, just a step away from knocking on the door to Totem Level!
Gu Xing slowly opened his eyes, a profound spark hidden within them.
For him, the direct combat power increase from ascending from Monarch Tier Five to Nine was not substantial.
The main benefit was the more adept utilization of the Creation Law.
But for the few Guardian Beasts...
That four-tier leap was immensely terrifying.
The core Attribute Values of Liu Li and Vera soared, both approaching the million mark, a qualitative leap in strength!
Even Tushan Yueli, whose talent was somewhat lacking, saw an increase of nearly 200,000 in various attributes, a significant improvement.
This starkly illustrated the gap between Origin Level and Myth Level.
With the same level of advancement, the attributes of Myth Five Stars and Origin Level differed by double.
Noticing this, Gu Xing felt an urgency to improve the talent of the other Guardian Beasts.
Liu Li was already at Origin Talent.
Vera was on the path of transforming from Myth to Origin.
As for the others...
Qing Shuang and Fei Yue’s situations were unknown for now.
The status of the other two Guardian Beasts...
Tushan Yueli’s talent remained at Myth Five Stars.
As for Sally...
Gu Xing’s gaze fell within the Beast Taming Space.
After arriving at the Snow Domain last time, he used the system to check Sally’s information.
But...
There was still no clue as to why Sally was in a deep sleep.
Thus, he left Sally in the Soul Nourishing Pool.
Currently, Sally’s talent was still at the Monarch Level.
Knowing...
Sally’s abilities were time-related.
If Sally were to be cultivated, the benefit to him would be immensely significant.
Thinking of this, Gu Xing roughly determined his development route for the next phase.
Which was to prioritize the cultivation of Tushan Yueli and Sally!
However, just at this moment.
The Snow Woman came over quickly, pulling Lilith along, her complexion solemn.
"Gu Xing, something seems off!"
The urgency in the Snow Woman’s voice was rare.
Gu Xing’s heart tensed: "What’s wrong? What happened?"
"The Snow Wolf Race just sent word—they discovered all over the Alternate Space, all the Demon Race members, regardless of level, from Awakening Level to Monarch Level, are retreating in large-scale, organized fashion!"
"Their target direction is highly consistent, all converging toward the core area of the Demon Realm!"
This news was undoubtedly a heavy blow!
Gu Xing’s brow furrowed immediately.
A complete Demon Race withdrawal?
Something’s definitely off!
There are often disputes between different Demon Race tribes; for them to put aside past grievances and act as one can only point to one thing:
A higher existence has issued an order!
And this existence is most likely from the depths of the Demon Abyss—the Demon God!
