My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 441 - 442: A Desperate Gamble!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Gu Xing’s eyes were fixed intensely on the notification panel's chilling update...
Special state: Demonic Qi erosion!
Those specific words haunted the screen.
His brain worked at a feverish pace, calculating every possibility with lightning speed.
"Demonic Qi erosion... that signifies her soul hasn't been entirely consumed by the Demonic Qi; she is still fighting back!"
"Right now, she stands at the threshold of ascending to the Pseudo-God realm. This is her moment of peak fragility, but also when the internal struggle for her consciousness is most violent!"
In that heartbeat.
A reckless, perhaps even insane strategy formed within Gu Xing’s mind!
He would gamble!
He had to throw everything on the line!
He would bet on Feng Ni’s dignity as a Supreme Spiritual Beast!
He would bet on her refusal to become a puppet of the Demonic Qi!
If she could just seize the reins of her physical form at the ultimate second!
Even if she regained only a fractional glimmer of sanity for a mere pulse of time...
A Phoenix newly ascended to the Pseudo-God level would surely possess the strength to shatter this stalemate!
To him, this was the path...
The solitary spark of hope in this hopeless nightmare!
With his resolve hardened, Gu Xing began to structure his execution immediately.
The most vital objective was neutralizing the Demonic Qi erosion affecting Feng Ni!
But how could it be done?
Celestial Grace flashed through his thoughts!
That talent had the power to cleanse all detrimental conditions.
He wasn't certain if it could purge Demonic Qi erosion specifically...
However, in this dire hour, no other options remained!
Yet, for Celestial Grace to reach Feng Ni amidst the chaotic combat...
He had to circumvent the Demon God first!
Yuan would never simply stand by while he attempted to liberate Feng Ni.
Consequently, it meant that very soon, someone had to pay any price necessary to distract the Demon God Abyss...
"Sally! Qingyan!"
Gu Xing’s command suddenly echoed within the consciousness of his two Guardian Beasts.
His tone was profoundly grave, yet it radiated a sense of certainty that bolstered the two Guardian Beasts.
"Get ready to carry out the plan!"
Upon hearing those words, the expressions of the two Guardian Beasts turned grimly serious.
"Sally, push your Time Law to its absolute limit. Don't focus on offense or defense—focus on acceleration!"
"Give Long Qingyan the maximum speed boost for her power accumulation and explosive release!"
"And Qingyan... I will burn through my reserves to frantically manifest and transfer Power of Laws into you!"
"You must force this chaotic energy into your own body and endure the strain temporarily!"
"It will be agonizing, but this is the only way we survive!"
"If we can just pin him down for a moment, we can make our escape!"
The two Guardian Beasts understood that the success rate of this plan was incredibly low.
Even with Long Qingyan maximizing her Law Body.
Even with Gu Xing boosting her strength through Soul-devouring once more.
Even with Sally’s Time Law supporting Long Qingyan...
Trying to stall a Demon God...
The odds were still vanishingly small!
Despite the danger, not a single hint of hesitation showed in the eyes of the two Guardian Beasts.
"Understood!"
Once he received their confirmation, Gu Xing didn't pause for another second.
"Soul-devouring! Sovereign! Link! Activate!"
Gu Xing screamed internally as his three primary talents surged with a ferocity he had never before unleashed!
Simultaneously, Gu Xing’s Soul Body radiated a brilliant light, ignoring the personal toll to manifest laws at a mad pace!
A multitude of laws materialized out of thin air!
The summoning of such diverse powers placed a crushing burden on Gu Xing’s soul.
His translucent form began to visibly dim and fade.
Yet, Gu Xing did not falter for an instant.
"Now! Qingyan! Take it all!"
Gu Xing bellowed, funnelling every manifested law directly into Long Qingyan!
At that same moment, the influence of his three talents washed over her.
"Roar——!"
Long Qingyan let out a deafening dragon cry. Her small frame expanded instantly, revealing the grand and terrifying true form of the Dragon Race!
The convergence of these powers caused Long Qingyan’s aura to skyrocket exponentially.
As Gu Xing’s abilities took hold, Sally acted as well.
"Time acceleration!"
A distortion of Time Law wrapped around Long Qingyan, forcing the flow of time around her into a frantic sprint!
To those watching, only a fraction of a second passed.
But for Long Qingyan, it provided the window needed to push her power to its absolute zenith!
"Boom——!!"
As the acceleration reached its peak, Long Qingyan’s presence reached a height that defied imagination!
She looked up sharply, her draconic eyes locking onto the cold, distant figure in the high heavens.
A final, desperate gamble!
She lunged toward the Demon God Abyss with fearless momentum!
High above, a tiny ripple finally disturbed the eternally stoic eyes of the Demon God Abyss.
It wasn't fear, however. It was more...
Like a human watching an ant suddenly display a surprising amount of strength—a brief moment of shock followed by... contempt.
"A mere insect trying to topple a giant tree."
He didn't even shift his stance; he simply lifted a hand with total indifference.
He gave a casual flick toward the oncoming Long Qingyan.
It was as if he were merely brushing away a bothersome speck of dust.
But, just as his fingers were about to make contact with Long Qingyan...
"Buzz——!!!"
An abrupt and violent transformation occurred!
Upon Long Qingyan’s chest, a subtle dark-gold dragon scale pendant she always wore erupted with a blinding, infinite radiance!
A colossal, divine will crashed down like thunder!
A misty yet magnificent phantom of a five-clawed golden dragon rose majestically behind her!
The phantom looked down upon the world with supreme arrogance, letting out a roar that vibrated through the very fabric of the universe!
"Roar——!!!"
The Dragon Emperor’s Amulet!
This was the ultimate protection gifted to her by the Dragon Emperor when she left Dragon Island.
It held a fragment of his very origin!
The moment this Dragon Emperor phantom manifested, it converted into the purest form of energy.
It surged wildly into Long Qingyan’s body!
With this divine boost, Long Qingyan’s power level instantly multiplied tenfold!
The surrounding space buckled and tore into nothingness.
The terrifying pressure sent tremors through the entire sky pit!
This single strike had fully crossed into the Pseudo-God Domain!
"What?!"
The Demon God Abyss’s mask of indifference finally shattered!
His blood-red pupils shrank as he recognized a legitimate threat!
Abyss could no longer remain composed.
The hand he had idly raised was pulled back instantly as he crossed both arms over his chest.
Vast amounts of Demonic Qi flooded from the void, hardening into a massive, obsidian shield before him!
He was forced to defend with everything he had!
"Boooooooooooom——!!!!"
The following instant.
A golden blur crashed violently into the dark shield!
The impact generated a sound that seemed to rend the heavens!
A cataclysmic energy wave rolled out in every direction like a tidal wave.
Wherever the shockwave hit, space cracked like glass and the earth was stripped away layer by layer!
From the sheer force of the recoil, Long Qingyan’s massive form took a brutal hit and was hurled backward.
Dragon blood rained from the sky, her life force flickering and fading instantly.
As for Abyss, who had withstood the pseudo-god level blow directly, his shield held, but his body trembled slightly.
The Demonic Qi surrounding him flickered with instability.
That attack had come dangerously close to piercing his guard!
Realizing this, his eyes burned with genuine killing intent toward Long Qingyan for the first time.
However, in that exact moment, Gu Xing had successfully reached Feng Ni’s side.
"Now!"
"Celestial Grace!"
