My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 413 - 414: Monarch Level! Breakthrough!
"Master!"
Liu Li, Vera, and the rest of the guardian beasts were consumed by anxiety as they felt Gu Xing’s aura rapidly fading away.
Spiritual Power serves as the very bedrock of a Beast Master. If it is entirely spent, the most optimistic outcome is a shattered foundation; at worst, the soul itself might collapse, leading to unthinkable catastrophe!
However, at this moment...
Gu Xing could not afford to deactivate the buffs he had placed on them unless the Demon Race standing before them was utterly crushed.
"Vera, we have to give it everything we've got!"
Recognizing the gravity of their predicament, Vera’s eyes once again surged with the powerful Insect Emperor’s Will.
During the previous encounter with the Insect Emperor, she had not been by Gu Xing’s side to safeguard her master.
But things were different now...
She stood right beside Gu Xing, and the power of this Demon Race member was not completely insurmountable.
How could she possibly permit her master to fall into such peril a second time?!
Vera’s frame shook violently as her body began to relentlessly absorb the Insect Emperor’s Will.
Driven by this constant consumption of the Insect Emperor’s Will, her talent began to gradually ascend toward the Origin Level.
Meanwhile.
The Ninth-tier Earth Demon Race warrior from the tribe also sensed Gu Xing’s flagging strength. His strikes grew more savage, and a murderous light flickered within his crimson pupils.
He had marked Gu Xing as his ultimate target.
Despite the desperate attempts of the two guardian beasts to obstruct him, the distance between the demon and Gu Xing continued to shrink.
"Roar!"
He took a direct hit from Liu Li’s Sword of Destruction, causing his flesh to sizzle and corrode.
He paid the injury no mind, however, transforming into a streak of dark lightning as he lunged toward the stumbling Gu Xing!
Seeing this, Liu Li’s eyes turned a frantic shade of red.
Ignoring her own wounds, she madly channeled the laws within her being.
The Sword of Destruction erupted with a brilliance never seen before, meeting the incoming assault with total fearlessness!
"Boom!"
It was another brutal collision, devoid of any refined technique!
Liu Li was thrown back once more, blood spraying through the air.
Sally, who had utilized the Time Law to rescue Liu Li, was also left in a weakened state.
The high-intensity use of the Time Law in the heat of combat had pushed her physical form to its breaking point.
At this stage, even tapping into her chronokinetic abilities felt like an immense burden.
Yet, the Demon Race warrior paid no attention to the exhausted guardian beasts.
His bloodthirsty focus remained locked on Gu Xing as he charged forward with insane momentum.
At that very threshold of disaster...
Vera suddenly snapped awake, having nearly finished devouring the Insect Emperor’s Will that had stirred within her.
The Devouring Law under her command had reached a new height because of this process.
While it had not quite attained the same level of mastery as her Life Law, it was rapidly closing the gap!
Right then.
Upon seeing the Demon Race rushing toward Gu Xing.
A frenzied murderous intent filled her eyes, and in the following instant....
An ocean of vines erupted between Gu Xing and the demon.
Woven with both the Devouring Law and the Life Law, these vines swarmed the Demon Race warrior.
The fusion of these two laws made the greenery nearly twice as durable as it had been previously.
The Devouring Law stripped the Demonic Qi from the demon’s skin, converting that energy into even more vines to join the fray.
Under the weight of Vera’s offensive, the Demon Race warrior seemed to be momentarily pinned down.
Capitalizing on this opening, Sally moved to support Liu Li, her eyes clouded with concern:
"Lord Liu Li, are you injured?"
Liu Li simply shook her head in response.
Though this Demon Race combatant was a Ninth-tier Totem, it appeared he had been created quite recently.
His skill set was fairly basic.
Aside from wielding Demonic Qi, he relied almost entirely on raw physical power.
Because of this, Liu Li had mostly sustained superficial wounds during the clash.
For the Angel Race, as long as the foundation remained intact, their combat effectiveness would not be diminished.
"I'm alright!"
After her brief reply, Liu Li turned her attention back to the fight.
She felt a wave of relief seeing the Demon Race entangled in Vera’s vines.
The sheer power of this demon was immense; they had exhausted every tactic to kill him without success.
Consequently, their only option was to restrain him to ensure Gu Xing’s protection.
And when it came to binding the Demon Race, Vera was clearly the most capable.
With the situation now stable, Liu Li looked back at Gu Xing once more.
She could feel that Gu Xing’s state was highly precarious.
The space around him was warping continuously as his Spiritual Power bled away.
Watching this, a visible shadow of worry crossed her features.
It was true that a Monarch Level could potentially break through to the Totem Level in a life-or-death crisis.
There were indeed historical accounts of such feats.
However....
It was far more common for Spiritual Power to be drained completely, resulting in death during the attempted transition to Totem Level.
While the battle raged on the outside, a stalemate had formed.
Gu Xing’s consciousness had already drifted into a strange and magnificent dimension.
The clamor of the world, his physical exhaustion, and the agonizing pain in his soul all seemed to vanish into the distance.
His inner vision sharpened, cutting through his physical form to reach the very core of his spirit.
This realm was not a void of darkness, but an immense, boundless sea composed of countless shimmering threads of light!
Every spark of light represented a fundamental law of the universe!
Power, Speed, Guardian, Destruction, Life, Devouring...
And even the most enigmatic and deep among them — Time!
Gu Xing was even more stunned to find that these usually distant threads of law were acting like loyal servants.
They drifted and circled around the center of his consciousness with great reverence!
It felt as though he wasn't just someone learning to use the laws, but rather...
Their rightful ruler!
Amazed by the sight, Gu Xing slowly reached out.
Several laws immediately flocked to his hand.
"What is this place?"
Before he could savor the incredible feeling, a sudden change occurred!
An irresistible, unseen force yanked his consciousness upward, instantly shattering a hidden boundary!
The scenery shifted violently!
The ocean of threads was gone, replaced by...
A blue planet hanging in the middle of a vast, dark void!
The Blue Star!
From an all-seeing perspective, Gu Xing’s mind could see every inch of the Blue Star!
The peaks, the rivers, the sprawling cities, the tiny villages, the deep oceans, the vast continents, and even the pulse of every living creature were visible in perfect detail!
A massive, untainted power surged from every corner of the Blue Star, pouring into his nearly empty soul like a thousand rivers rushing into the sea!
In that instant, he felt like the master of the Blue Star, the very personification of the planet’s will!
He was the God of the Blue Star!
With this sudden influx of energy, Gu Xing’s soul flame—which had been fading like a dying coal—erupted into a massive bonfire as if it had been drenched in oil!
"Crack... crack... crackle..."
Simultaneously.
The stubborn Monarch Level barrier within him finally buckled under the strain and began to fracture!
A fresh power, far more vast and refined than anything at the Monarch Level, began to awaken!
