My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 478 - 479: Lilith’s Mutation!

Through the synchronized efforts of Liu Li and Vera, the thick shroud of black clouds looming over the entire Demon Realm dissolved rapidly, vanishing like early snow under the heat of the sun.

The Demonic Qi contained within those clouds also began to evaporate at a frightening pace, finally exposing the scorched, blackened earth that had been corrupted by Demonic Qi for so long.

At this moment, the powerful auras of the two Guardian Beasts started to slowly recede. Purifying the Demonic Qi from the vast expanse of the Demon Realm had proven to be a massive drain on their energy.

Fortunately, having already attained the Totem Level, they were capable of swift recovery by drawing upon the Spiritual Qi present between heaven and earth.

As Gu Xing made his way back to the main group alongside his two Guardian Beasts, Long Qingyan and Feng Ni stared at him with expressions of profound disbelief.

Even though Gu Xing had reached a Divine Position and successfully tempered a Divine Body, displaying Divine Level combat power while only at Tier Four of the Totem Level was staggering. Such a feat could no longer be labeled as mere genius.

It was a level of talent that surpassed brilliance; he was a total freak of nature!

Gu Xing, however, seemed entirely oblivious to the shock he had caused. He approached Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, eventually coming to a halt before them.

"Two seniors, when we encounter Yuan later, please lead the frontal assault while I provide support from the flanks."

Because he had never witnessed Long Qingyan and Feng Ni in full combat, Gu Xing genuinely assumed that these two, who had reached the Totem Level long ago, were surely more powerful than himself.

Hearing his suggestion, Long Qingyan and Feng Ni opened their mouths to respond but ultimately remained silent. After all, how could they bring themselves to admit that they were actually weaker than Gu Xing?

Meanwhile, seeing that Gu Xing had neutralized the Demonic Qi hindering the allied forces, Tushan Yueli barked out another command: "The entire army is to resume the march! Sweep through the Demon Realm!"

Within the ranks of the massive army, those who knew Gu Xing personally appeared somewhat dazed. Since the arrival of the Demon God, the population of the Demon Race had surged, which brought both danger to the Human Race and opportunities for growth.

Ying Bing, Shen Ruoxue, Cecilia, Veronica, and several others had all progressed to Monarch Tier Nine. In fact, Ying Bing was on the very cusp of breaking through to the Totem Level.

As the small group gathered, they fell into a heavy silence after witnessing Gu Xing’s display. They had once stood on the same level as him, but now, the chasm between them was as wide as the distance between the earth and the heavens.

Veronica shifted her eyes away from Gu Xing at the head of the formation and let out a soft sigh. "I wonder if Gu Xing even remembers who we are anymore? Ever since that first incident in the Divine Secret Realm, his power has skyrocketed as if he were on some kind of stimulant."

"Of course he remembers us. Gu Xing isn't that sort of person!" Shen Ruoxue countered immediately. Having traveled with him since the days of Lin Yuan City, she was one of his most steadfast supporters.

Veronica didn't try to argue, as she had only been joking. She didn't truly believe Gu Xing was cold-hearted either.

However, Ying Bing stood still, lost in her own thoughts. Once unable to decipher her own heart, she finally realized that the feelings she had carried for so long were actually love. But the realization had come far too late.

After returning from the Snow Domain to the Human Race, her opportunities to spend time with Gu Xing had been tragically few. Even though she understood her feelings now, she felt she was not destined to be with him.

How can you walk beside someone if you lack the strength to stand at their side? She had pushed herself to grow stronger with desperate intensity, only to find that no matter how hard she struggled, the gap between her and Gu Xing only grew wider.

Watching Gu Xing’s Guardian Beasts in action today only intensified that feeling. Perhaps the only ones truly meant to stand by his side were his own Guardian Beasts.

Elsewhere within the marching army, the Snow Woman moved alongside the unconscious Lilith. She had been tasked with Lilith's care during this time, and as the premier healing-type Guardian Beast, she couldn't miss the invasion of the Demon Realm. Her presence alone would likely cut the casualties of the allied races in half.

Gazing at Lilith’s closed eyelids, the Snow Woman sighed. "Lilith, why didn't you just sign a Beast Taming Contract with Gu Xing back then? You just had to maintain your pride! Now, even if you wanted a contract, he might not even consider it."

"You even went and tied yourself to someone else with a Blood Covenant, and now look at you! If Gu Xing can't fix his own body, you might as well get used to keeping your eyes shut forever. I’m telling you, you should have used your superior strength back then to just force him..."

The Snow Woman continued her relentless chattering at Lilith’s side. Because of the Blood Covenant, Lilith’s Life Force had vanished when Gu Xing’s physical body was destroyed. However, as long as Gu Xing could be restored, Lilith could return to life as well.

Because of this, the Snow Woman wasn't overly anxious about Lilith’s state, though she wondered how long the recovery would take. Unseen by the Snow Woman, Lilith’s finger gave a faint twitch.

Suddenly, a massive explosion of Life Energy erupted from behind the Snow Woman, manifesting as a terrifying pillar of blood-colored light. The Snow Woman’s constant talking stopped instantly.

"What is this...?" She spun around quickly. There she saw Lilith hovering in the air, her massive bat wings unfurled to their full extent. Though her eyes remained shut, her aura was climbing at a staggering speed.

Bound by the Blood Covenant, she shared in Gu Xing’s Life Force. The Divine Body Gu Xing had forged possessed a life force of a divine caliber, and through their link, Lilith’s Life Level was undergoing a radical evolution.

Boom——!!!

A fierce shockwave of energy rippled outward. Even the nearby Totem Level experts were struck with alarm upon sensing this aura. Gu Xing naturally picked up on the disturbance and appeared on the scene instantly, accompanied by his Guardian Beasts.

Looking at Lilith bathed in the crimson light, Gu Xing understood the situation immediately. Through the Blood Covenant, Lilith was receiving the feedback from his own upgrades. She was waking up, and because his body reconstruction had been such a massive leap forward, the power flowing to her was immense.

Before Gu Xing’s eyes, Lilith’s strength began to skyrocket. Tier Two Totem... Tier Four Totem... all the way until she reached Tier Nine Totem before the explosive aura finally settled.

Beyond just her level, Lilith’s innate talent was also being reshaped. It had previously been at Myth Five Stars because Gu Xing hadn't focused on enhancing her specifically, but this rebirth had allowed her to shatter that threshold entirely.
