My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 501 - 502: One Sword Slays Six Gods!

Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Gu Xing arrived on the chaotic battlefield, his eyes darkening at the sight of the injured Fei Yue amid the seven Insect Emperors. Accompanied by Liu Li, Qing Shuang, Tushan Yueli, Vera, and other empowered Guardian Beasts, he reunited with the tearful Fei Yue, who collapsed into his arms in overwhelming relief after her desperate stand. Confronting the Insect Emperors who had threatened her, Gu Xing watched as Liu Li's swift sword strike obliterated the largest one, instilling terror in the remaining six. Offering Fei Yue a chance for vengeance, she declined, preferring the protection of her companions, as Gu Xing then challenged the Insects to survive one round against Liu Li for a shot at mercy.

"One round?"

The spirits of the six surviving Insect Emperors quivered with fierce intensity.

These arrogant Insect Emperors commanded the utmost authority within the Insect Realm, powerful enough to clash directly with Demon Gods.

Yet at this moment, a human who popped up out of nowhere had shamed them deeply...

What an utter humiliation!

In particular, the Insect Emperor deprived of its enormous claw trembled with overwhelming fury.

It understood that this human had acted on purpose.

He sought to return the blow it had unleashed earlier.

Nevertheless...

A spark of savagery flashed across its gaze.

Regardless of how unfathomably deep this human's strength ran.

What difference did it make?

Right here stood six beings at the Pseudo-God level, ready to face off against the five Demon Gods from the Demon Abyss.

And this human dared to challenge all six of them single-handedly...

Impossible!

"Human! Don’t push the insects too far! One round? You’re taking too..."

Its words cut off sharply.

Gu Xing had zero patience for the ramblings of a soon-to-be corpse.

He simply lifted his hand, softly stroking Liu Li's slightly tousled locks, and murmured:

"I refuse to listen to a dead man's drivel! I'm granting you just one strike opportunity, solely so you can witness..."

"How the one you once drove into a miserable escape can now utterly dominate you."

"Liu Li."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Li advanced a step.

With that single stride, lotuses blossomed across the empty void.

Not ordinary blooms of flora, but deadly flowers forged from endless destructive intents.

She gradually lifted the longsword she held.

The Insect Realm's space appeared to buckle under some unbearable strain, letting out a grating, teeth-clenching groan.

"Roar——"

The very second Liu Li lifted her hand, a deadly peril washed over them.

At that point, the six Insect Emperors cast aside their old rivalries.

In a flash, they agreed unanimously...

Unite your strengths!

"No matter his might, he's merely at Divine Level!"

"United, we'll make him regret his hubris!"

"Devouring them will propel us to greater heights!"

"Soon, the Insect Race will eclipse the Demon Race and rule over every realm!"

Instantly, six immense forces merged, birthing a deep violet torrent of power that could rend through dimensions.

Meteorites and debris in the vicinity dissolved instantly upon touching this force.

Confronted by this onslaught that would daunt any typical Pseudo-God expert, Liu Li's face remained unmoved.

She merely tightened her grip on the sword's handle.

In that instant, Qing Shuang and Vera fused their powers to form a protective barrier around the group.

They understood Liu Li planned to unleash everything.

At Tier Four Totem, Liu Li in her resonant form could swiftly slay the Tenth Demon God.

And this time.

With Long Qingyan invoking her divine position, alongside Fei Yue's comeback.

Their godly essences elevated Gu Xing straight to Totem Tier Nine.

Thus, as Liu Li exerted her full might now, her true power remained an utter mystery.

"Silent Extinction!"

Liu Li's crimson lips parted softly.

A slender white streak emerged from the tip of her blade.

The sword's glow glided by, akin to a gentle wind skimming water, without the faintest disturbance.

However, that deep violet torrent, brimming with the Insect Emperors' lifelong essence and world-shattering force.

Sliced cleanly as though by some unseen edge, parting perfectly down the middle!

The severed energies failed to burst; instead, they drained of life and unity, fading into dull wisps that scattered into nothingness.

Yet the spectacle continued.

The slim streak, having cleaved the torrent, pressed onward without pause.

Its path inevitably led straight through the positions of the six Insect Emperors.

No thunderous boom, no dazzling blast.

The streak traversed them with eerie tranquility.

The Insect Emperors' vaunted might, their forms, their very essences...

In the streak's passage, all proved meaningless.

Time stretched endlessly in that instant, as if locked in stasis.

The colossal, peak-like frames of the six Insect Emperors, their motions, their faces, even their soul pulses, held rigid in the previous beat.

Next, like flawless craftsmanship in division, following the streak's course, they parted seamlessly into halves.

The severed edges gleamed as polished mirrors, with no blood gushing, no innards tumbling, no power spilling.

As though they had always been two pieces, only just revealed.

Moments later, the split corpses, including the energies amassed inside and their final ties to the Insect Realm's origin.

Started to crumble away in perfect, soundless harmony.

The entire event unfolded in haunting quiet.

Only the streak, having completed its task, dissolved like a ghost, as if it had never been.

Long afterward, beyond the shield woven by Qing Shuang and Vera, the chaotic energies from the severed torrent finally erupted in delay.

That stemmed from the divided power's loss of restraint.

Fei Yue gazed blankly at the now-vacant expanse, filled merely with lingering force echoes, her eyes brimming with reverence.

She had anticipated Liu Li's triumph, yet never imagined...

Liu Li would claim victory with such ease!

She hadn't even caught sight of the streak's emergence; the fight...

Had concluded!

Gu Xing continued to hold her tenderly, his eyes scanning the emptiness with serene composure, treating it as a minor affair.

This represented the merged prowess of both him and Liu Li!

If six Insect Emperors lacking divine position control couldn't fall in one blow...

How would he ever stand against the Demon Gods lurking in the Demon Abyss?

How to defy the entity that birthed those Demon Gods?!

Once assured of the six Insect Emperors' total annihilation, Gu Xing prepared to depart this realm alongside the others.

The Insect Emperors upheld the sprawling hierarchy of the Insect Race, curbing the base devouring urges of the lower ranks.

Without these seven overlords, the leftover Insect Race would swiftly descend into turmoil.

Until the whole species faded through endless infighting.

But that no longer mattered to him!

Still, right as he pivoted to guide the group toward the void gateway...

"Wait!"

Lilith, who had lingered quietly at the group's rear, spoke up abruptly, her tone laced with yearning.

Gu Xing halted, and the others turned toward the voice.

They noticed Lilith's scarlet eyes locked unblinkingly on the spot where the Insect Emperors had perished.

Her breaths came quicker now.

She sensed the divine position within her, dormant for so long.

Now howling with ravenous hunger!

"Mas... Master, I desire to consume every drop of blood in this realm!"

At Lilith's plea, Gu Xing's frame went rigid.

Absorbing the blood from every being across a full world...

This seemed brutally savage!

But catching the plea in Lilith's eyes, a grin curved his mouth.

Savagery? Who cared?

If it served his Guardian Beast's needs.

Even swallowing an entire world whole, he would permit it.

Besides, what Lilith craved...

Was just the blood of the repulsive Insect Race in full!
