My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 437 - 438: You... Are Free!

Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Determined to liberate the human miners from their brutal treatment, Gu Xing infiltrates the demon-controlled mines by disguising his soul body in tattered robes. He intentionally provokes a demon overseer to get close to the two Totem-level leaders stationed on the central high platform. While the demon leaders grow suspicious of the threat he poses, Gu Xing prepares a final strike, calling upon Long Qingyan to manifest her Law Body. As the demons move to reveal his true identity, Gu Xing signals for the ambush to begin.

A monstrous claw lunged forward, inches away from shredding Gu Xing’s features...

“Roar—!”

Suddenly, the entire cavern vibrated with the resonance of a majestic, piercing dragon’s cry!

The air above the raised dais warped violently as a brilliant explosion of golden radiance erupted.

Long Qingyan materialized out of thin air within that shimmering light!

However, her current appearance was a far cry from her usual self.

Countless intricate runes of law swirled around her small frame, making her look as though she had fused with the very fabric of the universe.

Shades of dark red, icy blue, and crimson gold...

Various elemental law lights harmonized and clashed around her, radiating a suffocating pressure that surpassed all mortal limits!

Absolute serenity dwelled within her golden, reptilian eyes.

In that final heartbeat of time.

She had shattered her internal limits, successfully manifesting the ultimate technique of the Dragon Race...

The Law Body!

Yet, despite the successful activation of the Law Body and the massive surge in her Cultivation.

Long Qingyan could still sense something lacking.

Her strength had ascended to a height she had never known, bordering on the legendary Totem Level.

But...

It felt as though one final threshold remained uncrossed.

With her current state, the odds of simultaneously destroying two peak-condition Totem-level Demon Clan warriors were remarkably low.

“It’s still not enough...”

She had already exhausted every ounce of her potential without holding back a single drop of Qi.

Despite that, a narrow gap remained between her and the two Demon Clan combatants.

Just as anxiety began to cloud Long Qingyan’s mind...

“Soul-devouring!”

Gu Xing’s command suddenly thundered within her consciousness!

In the following instant, a massive tidal wave of spiritual energy surged out and completely submerged Long Qingyan!

This energy didn't just flow into her; through a profound and cryptic method...

It immediately magnified her newly awakened Law Body and all her internal reserves to an unimaginable zenith!

“Boom—!!!”

Long Qingyan felt her very soul shudder as the law runes orbiting her began to rotate at a frantic, unprecedented velocity!

Her speed, raw power, and mastery over the laws escalated exponentially in that single moment!

Doubled! Tripled!

This terrifying level of power caused even her own heart to race with dread.

However, her instincts as a warrior left no room for hesitation.

“Judgement!”

Channeling her entire being into her right claw, she lashed out at the two Totem Demon Race members who were only just beginning to react.

Shock was still etched onto their monstrous faces.

Wherever the shadow of her claw passed, the vacuum of space disintegrated silently, and the very passage of time seemed to freeze in its tracks!

“No!!!”

The two Demon Race warriors barely managed to squeeze out a single, horrified shriek.

Bolstered by Gu Xing’s intervention, Long Qingyan found them to be as flimsy as wet paper!

“Slash—!”

There was no thunderous detonation, only a faint, subtle sound—like a blade slicing through silk.

The claw shadow swept through the air.

The expressions of the two Totem-level Demon Race members remained frozen in their hideous masks of terror.

Their massive demonic frames split apart with mirror-like precision before crumbling away like ancient sand, dissolving into wisps of raw demonic Qi.

An instant kill!

A pure, undeniable execution in a single strike!

The platform was suddenly swallowed by a heavy, deathly silence.

Long Qingyan drifted downward slowly, staring at her palms with a look of utter bewilderment.

Did she... actually accomplish that?

Was it truly possible to wipe out two Totem-level Demon Clan members with one move?

The sheer destructive potential she had just wielded...

She snapped her head around to look at Gu Xing, who stood beside her with an unruffled expression.

Gu Xing didn't explain the mechanics; he simply offered a word of approval:

“Well done!”

Long Qingyan’s mouth hung open, ready to press for answers, but Gu Xing signaled for her to stop.

The immediate priority was taking care of the remaining Demon Race forces.

With the two Demon Race commanders on the platform having been vaporized instantly.

The entire cavern was plunged into a momentary, paralyzed state of shock!

From the tens of thousands of laborers below to the Demon Race soldiers stationed throughout the area.

Everyone stood as if turned to stone, their minds completely blank.

What just occurred?

The two powerful lords... were dead?

Slain in a single breath by that terrifying little girl who appeared out of nowhere?

How could this be possible?!!

Once the silence broke, two polar opposite reactions erupted!

“The lords... they’ve fallen?!”

“Kill them! Avenge our leaders!!”

“Roar! Die, invaders!!”

...

Recovering first from the shock, the Demon Race soldiers were consumed by a mindless, primal fury!

Even though the loss of their leaders chilled them, their innate savagery pushed them into a suicidal frenzy.

The nearest Monarch Level Demon Race warriors, their eyes glowing blood-red.

They bellowed and unleashed their demonic Qi, swinging their weapons as they charged the platform like rabid beasts targeting Gu Xing and Long Qingyan!

“Ah—! The Demon... the Demon Race is losing it!”

“Run! Save yourselves!”

“Divine Envoy, watch out!”

Meanwhile, the Human Race miners below were paralyzed by the sudden chaos.

A wave of sheer terror rippled through the masses like a plague.

Screams and panicked cries filled the air as people began to trample one another in a desperate bid to escape.

The cave descended into absolute bedlam.

Facing the onslaught of the maddened Demon Race and the frantic panic of the miners.

Gu Xing’s Soul Body stood motionless, entirely unperturbed.

The moment had arrived.

He slowly lifted his right hand, palm facing the ceiling.

A heavy, indescribable aura that transcended the limits of mortality began to spread silently from his form.

This wasn't merely a clash of power, but the absolute dominance of a superior existence!

Emperor’s Might!

“Buzz—!”

A silver-white Spiritual Domain, invisible but capable of making any soul cower, flowed outward like liquid mercury, instantly saturating the vast cavern.

Wherever this domain touched, time itself seemed to grind to a halt.

The Demon Race soldiers who were sprinting toward the dais...

Whether they were lowly Commanders or mighty Monarch Levels, their bodies were suddenly locked in place.

Having reached the Totem level, Gu Xing’s Emperor’s Domain had undergone a total evolution.

For anyone below the Totem level caught within this field, resistance was an impossibility.

In the next breath—

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

“Thud!”...

Like a harvest of wheat, every single Demon Race member collapsed to the floor like puppets with their strings severed.

Not a single sound remained.

In the blink of an eye, there wasn't a living Demon Race member left standing in the entire cave.

The previously chaotic and deafening cavern returned to a heavy, suffocating stillness.

Now, only the human miners remained, standing like statues in their tracks.

Their eyes were wide and their mouths agape as they stared in disbelief at the glowing figure on the platform.

They looked from him to the piles of lifeless Demon Race bodies scattered across the floor.

Terror, shock, confusion, and overwhelming joy...

A whirlwind of emotions collided within them, eventually coalescing into a single, divine emotion...

Hope!

Gu Xing slowly lowered his arm, the silver-white Emperor’s Domain pulling back like a receding tide.

His tranquil gaze washed over the stunned miners below, and his voice resonated clearly in the mind of every person present:

“You... are free.”
