My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 454 - 455: Found Her!

The previously active connection, which had been relentlessly pumping Demonic Qi into Qing Shuang’s form...

Suddenly seized up the moment it made contact with the golden radiance of Celestial Grace!

It was as if the link had been flash-frozen in an instant.

The transmission speed of the Demonic Qi plummeted significantly, slowing to a mere crawl!

"What?! This cannot be!"

Upon witnessing this, the arrogant smirk on the Demon Race member’s face vanished, replaced by an expression of pure disbelief!

One must realize that a contract of this nature originates directly from the Demon God.

"What kind of power is this?! How can it possibly interfere with the authority of Lord Demon God!"

Celestial Grace possesses the ability to cleanse all negative conditions.

While it might not be able to entirely wipe out the Demonic Qi’s corruption, slowing its progress was well within its capabilities.

However, Gu Xing’s expression did not soften as he watched the scene unfold.

He could sense the underlying danger...

Though the Demonic Qi’s encroachment was temporarily halted, the Slaughter Law within Qing Shuang—which had spiraled out of control due to her excessive killing—refused to stop its rampage!

In fact, because the external Demonic Qi had been cut off, the Slaughter Law lost its outside antagonist and became even more volatile, crashing and rebounding with violent force inside Qing Shuang’s sea of consciousness!

At this moment, Qing Shuang’s body had become a literal battlefield.

The Demonic Qi was stuck, but the Slaughter Law had reached a point of total explosion!

Her face contorted in agony as the aura of slaughter surrounding her surged wildly. Her soul was in a state of absolute chaos!

Her mind had to be stabilized immediately to help her regain control over the Slaughter Law!

If not, she would be shredded by her own internal power before the demonization could even take hold!

Seeing this development, the Demon Race member, who had been momentarily panicked, regained his smug demeanor.

"Just give up!"

"The only way to save her life is to let me complete the transformation!"

"If you don't, that rampaging Slaughter Law will surely tear her into pieces."

Gu Xing’s mind raced as he searched for a way out.

Currently, Qing Shuang’s body was a vessel for chaotic Slaughter Law.

While the Demon Race member’s Demonic Qi could technically suppress these laws, allowing the corruption to continue would mean losing Qing Shuang forever.

Yet, if he stopped the Demonic Qi, the Slaughter Law would destroy her from within...

The situation appeared to be a total dead end.

But then, a thought struck him.

Gu Xing recalled the strategy he used to wake Vera when she was being corrupted by the Insect Emperor’s Will.

He would dive into her inner world and provide guidance directly at the level of her consciousness!

Right now, that was the only path left to take!

"Liu Li, Vera!"

"Protect us! Guard both me and Qing Shuang! Do not let a single soul approach until I awaken!"

"If that Demon Race member tries anything, just keep him trapped!"

To enter Qing Shuang’s inner world, he needed to ensure the physical environment was absolutely secure.

Upon hearing his orders, the two immediately grasped Gu Xing’s plan.

"Master, this is far too risky!" Liu Li cried out, her eyes swimming with concern.

"Qing Shuang’s sea of consciousness is completely overwhelmed by the Slaughter Law. If you enter with your own consciousness, one small mistake could see you assimilated by that murderous intent... you might even be trapped there for eternity!"

Vera also tried to dissuade him: "Master, the last time you entered my mind, it was because the Insect Emperor’s Will was an outside force!"

"The situation with Qing Shuang is fundamentally different... the Slaughter Law is an inherent part of her being!"

"Forcefully intervening could cause you to suffer a massive backlash from the Law itself!"

Having felt the agony of consciousness erosion herself, she knew exactly how dangerous this was.

Both Guardian Beasts were well aware that conflicts within the mind were infinitely more perilous than physical combat.

If Gu Xing’s consciousness was damaged within that world of slaughter...

His soul body in the physical world could shatter right along with it!

Despite their pleas, Gu Xing slowly shook his head, his resolve unshaken.

"I know you are worried! But that is exactly why I have to do this."

He turned his gaze toward Qing Shuang, speaking with heavy conviction:

"Qing Shuang is one of our own."

"From the moment she pledged to follow me, her life became my responsibility."

"I will never turn my back on a companion, especially not when she needs me most."

"If I hide away because I am afraid of the risk, how could I, Gu Xing, ever look you in the face as your master?"

"What right would I have to hold your trust?"

These words hit Liu Li and Vera like a physical weight.

They stared at Gu Xing’s determined eyes, momentarily stunned.

Perhaps it was this side of Gu Xing—

The man who truly saw his Guardian Beasts as partners and an essential part of his life—

That inspired such unwavering loyalty in them!

Liu Li exhaled sharply, the fear in her eyes replaced by resolve.

"I understand, Master!"

"Do not worry, we will hold the line out here!"

"Unless we fall in battle, no one will be allowed to disturb you!"

Vera nodded, giving the same silent promise.

Seeing his two Guardian Beasts shift instantly into a combat stance, a flicker of relief crossed Gu Xing’s face.

"Then... I’m counting on you."

As the words left his lips, he didn't wait any longer.

The light from his soul body drew inward, concentrating his entire mind and spirit into a single beam of light that plunged resolutely into the violent, chaotic depths of Qing Shuang’s sea of consciousness!

Boom——!!!

The moment he entered, Gu Xing’s consciousness was hit by an unprecedented wave of force!

Before him lay a boundless, roaring ocean of crimson!

Massive, pungent waves of blood crashed against the Void, and the air was thick with a suffocating desire for slaughter!

This was the current state of Qing Shuang’s inner world...

A realm entirely consumed by the Slaughter Law, resembling a living purgatory!

Gu Xing hovered over the blood-red sea.

He could feel the pervasive murderous intent trying to eat away at his soul, causing waves of sharp pain.

Gritting his teeth against the agony, he expanded his perception to its limit, searching for any sign of Qing Shuang’s will.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Destruction to all!"

Endless screams of violence echoed like a wall of noise, battering his mind.

He witnessed distorted visions manifesting within the sea of blood:

The tragic death of her sister, her father being hounded to his grave by the clan...

The deepest traumas in Qing Shuang’s heart were being twisted and blown out of proportion by the Slaughter Law, turning into her own personal inner demons.

Seeing these memories, Gu Xing felt a pang of sympathy.

He couldn't fathom the level of suffering Qing Shuang was enduring right now.

These visions meant one thing...

Qing Shuang was reliving every single moment of it!

"Damn it!"

Gu Xing shouted in frustration.

Under the pressure of such intense murderous intent, it was nearly impossible to extend his spiritual power.

Locating Qing Shuang was proving to be an immense challenge!

But every second wasted brought her closer to being completely consumed by the Slaughter Law.

She would be turned into a mindless engine of death.

Anxiety began to gnaw at Gu Xing’s heart:

"Qing Shuang! Where are you?!"

He roared into the void, but his voice was swallowed by the sea without a trace.

Direct methods weren't working.

Gu Xing took a deep breath, forcing himself to settle his nerves, knowing that panic was useless.

He shut his eyes, abandoning the attempt to use raw spiritual power to scout.

Instead, he focused every fiber of his being on the contract he shared with Qing Shuang, delicately searching for the vibration of that faint, lingering connection.

Fortunately...

The strategy worked!

"Found you!"
