My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 421 - 424: The Enraged Demon God Abyss!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Sally’s eyelids fluttered open slowly.
Her once innocent gaze had been replaced by eyes that resembled profound, motionless depths.
All traces of her former hesitation and fear had evaporated, leaving behind a cold extinction that could pierce through the veil of time itself!
She calmly surveyed the Demon God Abyss, which remained suspended in a frozen pocket of space-time, and glanced at the three fading Human Race Divine Patterns currently being tainted by Demonic Qi.
Her attention finally settled on the empty void where the headless remains of Gu Xing had plummeted.
A faint lingering of Gu Xing’s aura still remained in that spot.
"Time Secret Technique: Time Reversal!"
Raising her hand, Sally channeled the most untainted and primal Power of Time Spirit Laws from her fingers.
This energy did not target physical matter; instead, it focused solely on the soul!
A pale gold vortex of time began to manifest within the palm of her hand.
Fragments of shattered soul-light were pulled from the vacuum into the heart of the whirlpool, as if responding to a divine summons.
These were the scattered remnants of Gu Xing’s soul!
Driven by the immense authority of the Time Law, these shards coalesced and bonded, forcing the process of their destruction to run backward.
A translucent but perfectly whole soul-body belonging to Gu Xing gradually materialized at the center of the vortex.
His eyes remained shut and his expression was serene, appearing as though he were merely lost in a profound slumber.
In that instant, the soul of Gu Xing had been fully restored!
Upon seeing his soul returned to its proper state, even the somber Sally couldn't hide a flicker of genuine relief in her eyes.
However, bringing Gu Xing back to this state was only the initial step she was capable of performing.
She then shifted her gaze toward the river of time flowing through the heavens.
Only a naked soul-body possesses the resilience to endure the scouring of the time river and participate in the crossing of time and space.
This reality was the core reason why the Time Spirit Race was born with such immense Spiritual Power and soul-strength!
She scanned the surroundings once more, her eyes eventually landing on Liu Li and Vera.
A shadow of concern crossed her features.
Mending Gu Xing’s soul had pushed Sally to the absolute edge of her current capabilities.
Every ounce of power left by the Time Spirit Race had to be reserved to breach the river of time!
She possessed no surplus strength to battle or destroy a terrifying Demon God.
Consequently, the fate of Liu Li and Vera would rest entirely in their own hands.
"Master, it is time to depart."
After a brief moment of doubt, Sally reached out and firmly grasped Gu Xing’s ghostly wrist.
The pair lunged forward, diving into the rushing currents of time and vanishing from sight instantly.
As they entered the river, the force maintaining the absolute stasis of the Alternate Space suddenly failed.
"Crash——"
Like a film being resumed after a pause, the flow of time throughout the Alternate Space snapped back to its normal pace!
The snow resumed its descent, Demonic Qi began to swirl once more, and the choir of wind, waves, and life filled the air again!
The cruel smirk on the face of Demon God Abyss froze, quickly transforming into a look of sheer confusion.
He felt as though... he had been momentarily dazed?
But in the following heartbeat, he sensed something was terribly wrong!
That prickling sensation of dread on his back—an omen that caused him immense irritation—had not vanished with the destruction of the human's head. Instead, it had intensified!
His eyes snapped toward the fading mist of blood before him...
It was impossible!
The aura of that human’s soul... had vanished entirely?!
It hadn't simply faded away; rather, it had been forcibly extracted from this reality by some outside force!
"His soul... is gone?!"
The realization hit Yuan instantly. A volcanic rage, born from the humiliation of being toyed with, erupted in his heart!
"Roar——! How dare a mere ant play tricks on me!!"
An earth-shaking scream ripped through the firmament!
Yuan’s blood-red eyes locked onto Liu Li and Vera, who stood nearby, their strength completely spent!
His murderous intent was so potent it almost seemed to solidify!
"Very well! Since your master has scurried away like a frightened rat, I will begin by crushing you two faithful insects!"
The Demon God Abyss wasted no more time, gathering thick clouds of Demonic Qi at his fingertips.
He leveled a finger toward Liu Li and Vera in the air!
"Annihilation."
A dense, nearly transparent beam of pure darkness shot from his finger.
As the beam traveled, the very fabric of space disintegrated silently, as if it were being erased from existence.
Even at their peak, Liu Li and Vera would have found it nearly impossible to survive such an assault.
In their current state of exhaustion, they stood no chance!
The beam of darkness moved faster than thought.
There was no time to move.
They could only watch in silence as the light of certain death grew larger in their eyes!
But just as the strike was about to consume them.
"Heh heh... cough cough..."
A faint, yet mocking and relieved laugh echoed from the crumbling debris of Dragon Island below.
The Dragon Emperor!
His massive draconic form was mangled and broken, his life force flickering low.
Yet, in this moment, his giant eyes blazed with a brilliant light!
It was the look of a warrior who had completed his duty, a content soul who had cleared the path for his successors and could die without a single regret!
"Yuan, your grand design... seems to have stumbled..."
The Dragon Emperor’s voice was shaky, yet dripping with contempt.
Before the words could fully leave his mouth, his shattered body suddenly erupted in a golden radiance!
"Boom——!!!"
His physical form, which had long since reached its breaking point, detonated with a thunderous roar!
This was not a simple self-destruction; he was releasing every law that constituted his being!
A torrent of pure, concentrated laws exploded outward!
Guided by the Dragon Emperor’s final will, the flood of energy split into two distinct paths!
The first path carried the Time Law.
It immediately swirled around the three Human Race Divine Patterns that had been corrupted by Demonic Qi!
Time Reversal!
Under the influence of the Time Law, the Demonic Qi clinging to the patterns vanished, and their fading light returned at a visible speed!
In the blink of an eye, the three divine patterns were purified, appearing even more robust after surviving the ordeal!
The second path was the pinnacle of Space Law!
An invisible wall of space manifested instantly, not only intercepting the Demon God’s lethal strike.
It also wrapped around the exhausted Liu Li and Vera, along with the arriving Snow Woman and Aliya...
And it took the three restored Human Race Divine Patterns with them!
In the next breath, the space twisted violently!
Everyone protected by the spatial barrier, including the divine patterns, turned into streaks of light and merged into a rift in the void, vanishing completely!
"Damn it——!!!"
Watching his targets and the divine patterns escape from right under his nose, Yuan let out a maddened scream!
The sound waves were so powerful they shattered the surrounding space piece by piece!
He snapped his head toward the spot where the Dragon Emperor's presence had finally faded into dust.
"You old lizard! How dare you... how dare you!!!"
Yuan’s rage was nearly all-consuming!
He never suspected that the Dragon Emperor would hold such a powerful trump card even at the moment of his death!
The wild Demonic Qi tore through the landscape, turning the already ruined Dragon Island into a total wasteland.
Under this onslaught, the area became even more desolate.
After a long period, the environment finally grew quiet.
The Demon God Abyss stood in the empty air, the Demonic Qi around him pulsing erratically.
He had technically won the battle, yet the dark premonition in his heart only grew heavier.
That human... he had to be destroyed!
But where would he run to?
A moment later, Yuan knew the answer.
The Human Race!
