My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 479 - 480: Contract with Lilith!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
"Buzz——!!!"
Suspended in the air, Lilith’s tightly closed lashes shuddered violently.
The crimson pillar of light that pierced the sky did not fade away.
Instead, it imploded, condensing layer by layer around her form.
Sharp cracking sounds erupted from her body, reminiscent of shattering jade or the birth of something entirely new.
Having already retreated to a safe distance, the Snow Woman stood beside Long Zhenguo, Tushan Yueli, and the others, watching the spectacle in utter disbelief.
Long Qingyan and Feng Ni also turned their heads, sensing the shift.
Under the influence of Gu Xing’s feedback, this member of the Blood Race seemed to be undergoing a bizarre metamorphosis.
Yet, they were unable to determine the exact nature of the change.
Standing at the very front, Gu Xing unleashed his divine perception to its limit, monitoring the transformations occurring within Lilith.
Deep inside Lilith’s heart.
At the very foundation of her Blood Race power, a single droplet of dark golden origin blood was radiating an unprecedented glow!
This drop of origin blood served as the ultimate proof of Lilith’s noble bloodline.
Now, however, it began to expand and warp, its internal essence shattering only to be restructured!
Countless delicate threads erupted from the origin blood, spreading like wildfire.
In a heartbeat, they permeated every piece of Lilith’s skeleton, every fiber of muscle, and every single cell!
These threads hungrily consumed the divine energy flowing back from Gu Xing’s divine body.
Finally, catalyzed by this massive influx of power, Lilith’s bloodline began its ascent.
Myth Six Stars!
Myth Seven Stars!
...
"Boom——!!!"
With a final surge, she abruptly broke through to Myth Nine Stars!
The atmosphere shifted instantly as the heavens themselves changed color!
The blood-red pillar surrounding Lilith detonated with a thunderous roar.
It dissolved into billions of shimmering, ruby-like blood crystal petals that drifted downward, evaporating before they could touch the earth.
Still floating in the sky, Lilith finally let her eyelids flutter open.
Her pupils were no longer the expected crimson or dark gold; instead, they were as deep and dark as the finest obsidian.
Her physical features remained largely the same, possessing a perfection that was breathtakingly beautiful.
Her skin was as pale as white jade, though it carried a faint, healthy glow of vital blood.
Her silver tresses had grown significantly, now cascading all the way down to her ankles.
The most dramatic transformation, however, was the wings on her back.
The single pair of membranous bone wings had been replaced by three magnificent pairs!
Her aura stabilized firmly at the peak of Totem Tier Nine, a mere hair’s breadth away from the Pseudo-God realm.
She lowered her gaze slightly, inspecting her own slender, flawless hands.
Tangible wisps of dark red blood energy swirled around her fingertips.
Within that energy, one could faintly detect a unique divine essence, mirroring Gu Xing’s own divine power!
This was a miraculous fusion of divine energy and the Blood Covenant.
It granted her the ability to wield a portion of power that had not originally belonged to her.
The Snow Woman stared at Lilith in a daze, as if watching a goddess step out from a legend. After a long silence, she managed to stammer:
"...You, you truly reached... Totem Tier Nine?"
Lilith offered no immediate reply to the Snow Woman.
Her attention slowly shifted toward Gu Xing.
As their eyes locked, an indescribably heavy and complex atmosphere settled between them.
Looking at the Blood Ancestor who had been completely reborn before him, Gu Xing felt a wave of conflicting emotions.
Regardless...
It was a relief that she had awakened!
Lilith descended gracefully to the ground, pulling her three pairs of wings back into her body.
She approached Gu Xing and tilted her head up slightly.
Her eyes, as vast as the midnight sky, searched Gu Xing's. Her crimson lips parted, and she spoke with an ethereal, magnetic voice:
"Contract!"
Her tone was steady, betraying very little feeling.
Yet Gu Xing could sense the turbulent storm being held back beneath that calm exterior.
Gu Xing was briefly stunned by her words.
Then, he couldn't suppress a soft chuckle.
Lilith had stayed by his side for a long time; it was indeed the right moment to formalize their bond!
"Alright!"
Upon hearing his agreement, a spark of light seemed to dance within the dark red galaxy of Lilith’s eyes.
Without another word, she raised her right hand and used a fingernail to lightly cut her left palm.
A thin, profound line appeared, yet no blood spilled out.
A moment later, a single drop of dense, pure ruby-like ancestral origin blood—containing what looked like swirling nebulae—oozed from the cut and hovered above her palm.
The second this blood manifested, the surrounding space seemed to warp under its weight.
The air grew thick as a potent life force, mingled with a hint of ancestral majesty, radiated outward with a powerful aura.
At Lilith’s current level, a standard Beast Taming Contract was useless.
Consequently, Lilith had directly summoned her most vital origin blood.
Only a contract forged upon this origin blood would allow Gu Xing to truly link his soul with hers.
Gu Xing wiped the smile from his face, his expression becoming grave.
He lifted his own right hand and focused his mental energy.
A golden Contract Array slowly manifested at his fingertip.
With deliberate care, he pressed the Contract Array into the droplet of blood in Lilith’s hand.
"Buzz——!!"
The moment they touched, the golden array was instantly absorbed into the origin blood.
As the ripples of the contract spread silently through the air, it was finalized.
Lilith had officially become Gu Xing’s Guardian Beast.
...
Deep within the Demon Realm.
This region had once been a land of eternal shadow, boasting the highest concentration of Demonic Qi in the entire realm.
But that had changed.
Countless demons slowly looked upward.
Shining down upon them was a brilliant, blazing sun.
Liu Li and Vera had completely purged the Demonic Qi from the heart of the Demon Realm.
The high-ranking demons living there let out cries of absolute terror and rage.
In the center of the demonic horde, Yuan stared fixedly at the sun in the sky, fury boiling in his chest.
"This... is a familiar aura!"
He recognized Gu Xing’s presence immediately.
The puny human who had once survived his strike.
Not only had that insect survived the disaster, but in a shockingly short span of time, he had reached a level of power nearly equal to his own.
Furthermore...
He sensed something from this human's aura that he hadn't felt in an eternity.
That sensation...
Was the feeling of death!
He turned his gaze toward the other nine Demon Gates.
He had been working tirelessly to unseal these portals.
By now, the gates were nearly ninety percent open.
With just a little more time, they would be fully unleashed, allowing the demons to swallow the world.
Yet, at this vital moment...
An insect had the audacity to invade the Demon Realm.
The safest course of action would be to continue waiting and gathering strength.
He should wait for all the Demon Gates to open and then use an unstoppable army to annihilate all resistance—including this anomaly—with sheer numbers and power.
But...
"How can I stand back and endure an insect's insults?"
To take a beating without retaliating was a stain upon the pride of the Demon God!
"All members of the Demon Race, hear my decree!"
Yuan’s voice thundered through the minds of every demon.
"Bare your fangs and claws...
Protect the honor of the Demon Race!"
