My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 503 - 504: A Familiar Figure!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
The tenth layer of the Demon Abyss.
Long ago, it served as the domain controlled by the Tenth Demon God Abyss.
At its heart, endless shadows and Void energy once dominated completely.
Any common being that ventured inside faced immediate draining of their strength by Yuan, turning into fuel for this shadowy territory.
Even mighty members of the Demon Race...
Would hesitate to enter without Yuan's direct orders.
But today, this shadowy territory displays an eerie...
Stillness.
Demonic Qi lingers so heavily that it refuses to fade, flowing quietly like dense ebony waves through the Void.
However, the distinctive fearsome aura of the Demon God Abyss has completely disappeared.
Right now.
A slim silhouette moves carefully through this eerily quiet shadowy space.
She remains shielded by a unique dark glow that guards her against the Demonic Qi's corrosion.
This comes from a Guardian Beast exclusive to the Demon Abyss, serving as her key protection for braving this area.
She goes by Li Xin, having departed from the Fire Camp to investigate the tenth layer!
Her usually vibrant eyes now brim with shock.
She has scoured the tenth layer as much as she could.
Yet the findings match her earlier suspicions.
The Demon God Abyss appears to have... met its end!
The presence of the Demon God Abyss has faded away, and almost every Demon Race inhabitant in the tenth layer lies dead.
This suggests the Demon God Abyss suffered not just a physical breakup that could allow rebirth.
Its Divine Position got utterly shattered as well!
Currently, only a handful of Demon Race survivors remain in the entire Demon Abyss, none originating from the Demon God Abyss.
Furthermore, the very fabric of this realm carries an air of abandonment and breakdown.
The environment gradually crumbles, while spatial rifts start to form unstably.
"I have to uncover the reason!"
Li Xin gripped her fist tightly, her fingertips turning pale from the pressure.
Should the Demon God Abyss have been truly defeated by some mysterious, overwhelming force, leading to total destruction...
What exactly is that force?
Ally or enemy?
If it's a potential partner, or someone open to dialogue and alliance...
It could provide boundless power to the entire Firewood organization!
With that in mind, she began a more thorough search of the tenth layer, examining every unusual detail.
Still, the outcome left her deeply frustrated.
Besides the vanished presence of the Demon God Abyss, no traces of any outsider turned up.
"Did the Demon God Abyss get wiped out in some other realm?"
Li Xin abruptly considered this possibility.
In that case, her arduous journey here would prove pointless.
While her mind raced, as she geared up to leave this spot and head back to the Fire Camp...
"Tear——!!!"
A piercing noise exploded across the heavens of this hushed tenth layer!
Li Xin snapped her head upward, her pupils shrinking in alarm!
The heavens, once shrouded in Demonic Qi, now got torn apart by a brilliant sword beam!
The heavy Demonic Qi pulled back and dissolved, as if facing its deadly foe.
Before long, a massive tear ripped open in the tenth layer's sky!
Right away, multiple presences on par with a Demon God emerged from that tear.
At the forefront stood a figure with dark hair and dark robes, featuring a composed expression and profound eyes.
That person is...
The Divine Envoy that generations of the Fire Camp have chased after!
"Divine... Divine Envoy?!"
Li Xin cried out in disbelief, her thoughts nearly going empty.
Her form stiffened on the spot, even forgetting to inhale.
She could never have imagined encountering the Divine Envoy, longed for by the Fire Camp over generations, in this manner, right here!
Up in the sky.
Gu Xing's eyes scanned this realm with steady calm.
The solid, oppressive Demonic Qi, the crumbling and unstable space, the lingering trace of the Demon God...
"So this is the heart of the Demon Abyss' tenth layer?"
He had anticipated the core of the Demon Abyss' tenth layer to brim with extreme filth and disorder.
Yet the actual state proved far less severe than his expectations.
His sight passed over the wreckage underneath, ultimately settling on a somewhat clear patch.
There, a form clashed with the grim surroundings.
A human being.
Gu Xing's eyes revealed little astonishment.
During his initial plunge into the river of time, he had arrived at the Demon Abyss.
At that point, he realized the Demon Abyss held more than just the Demon Race.
It also sheltered certain humans treated like mere livestock by the Demon Race.
Back then, he recalled planting a legacy deep in the Demon Abyss.
However, after millennia, that legacy he established could have vanished entirely.
He shook his head, dismissing the jumbled recollections from his thoughts.
Next, his attention returned to the figure below.
It appeared as a delicate, willowy shape.
Likely a young woman, gazing upward at them without blinking, as though paralyzed by fear.
Despite the notable distance, Gu Xing sensed a vague familiarity about her, like someone from his past.
But Gu Xing paid it no heed.
After all, centuries adrift in the river of time, amid countless experiences, plenty of minor faces had faded into obscurity.
Nevertheless, as the initial human he met in the Demon Abyss, he chose to seek some details from her.
With a simple mental shift, he moved downward toward where the young woman stood.
As he drew near, the churning Demonic Qi nearby withdrew in apparent dread, creating a purer zone.
Gu Xing touched down softly, mere steps from the young woman.
He prepared to address her, aiming for the gentlest voice to avoid startling her.
But the instant their eyes locked...
"Thump!"
A distinct noise of knees striking the earth echoed.
The young woman abruptly knelt down without a second thought, lowering her head profoundly!
Her petite frame shook faintly, and her words trembled with intense feeling.
"Leader of the 137th generation of the Fire Camp, Li Xin... pays respect to the Divine Envoy!"
Divine Envoy?
Gu Xing hesitated for a beat, as recollections tied to that title flooded his mind.
In the Demon Abyss, those who knew him and used that title...
Seemed limited to the miners he had freed long ago!
And in that instant, he identified in the young woman's features the child he had once rescued.
"Are you a descendant of Little Lizi?" Gu Xing asked cautiously.
The mention of Little Lizi, inscribed on the opening page of their family records, caused Li Xin's body to quake violently.
At this point, her conviction grew stronger...
It wasn't a dream; she had indeed located the Divine Envoy pursued by the Fire Camp for generations.
"Yes! Divine Envoy!"
"The Little Lizi you mentioned is my great-grandmother!"
Then, drawing in a steadying breath, she seemed to summon every bit of her bravery and reverence, delivering the most sincere plea:
"Divine Envoy, please... please come to the Fire Camp!"
"They... they must witness you personally, require your direction!"
