My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

When Gu Xing stepped into the Forbidden Land, he had already foreseen the scene before him.

As a human Beast Master, he understood this fatal weakness better than anyone—

No matter how powerful the Guardian Beast, as long as the enemy attacks the Beast Master directly...

That is the most dangerous moment.

What's more...

This is the Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race.

If you're not fully prepared, it's no different than handing your life to someone else.

And now...

Although the one who attacked him is one of the most battle-proficient ghosts.

And had closed in on him, but...

He still wasn't the slightest bit flustered.

He had long known about the Ghost Race's Void Talent. Ordinarily...

Earlier, the safest approach would have been to keep at least one Guardian Beast at his side for protection out of the three.

Yet this time, he sent all three Guardian Beasts out.

This was his deliberate choice.

Because Lilith had previously told him some information:

Liu Li had never fully unleashed her true power.

As a Guardian Beast with Myth Nine Stars Talent, this is already the peak of Myth Talent.

But her combat strength was only slightly above Qing Shuang and Vera, just with some additional Law Control ability.

This clearly didn't match the strength of Liu Li's Myth Nine Stars Talent.

Gu Xing speculated it might be related to Liu Li giving up the Blazing Angels' ultimate offensive power.

Transforming from a pure attacker into a Guardian-type, Liu Li seemed not yet fully adapted to the strength of Guardian Angels.

So, he decided to take drastic measures—

Put himself in danger.

Of course, this wasn't a reckless gamble without preparation.

The Blood Covenant between him and Lilith allowed Lilith to store part of her power within him. This was the trump card he had prepared for the Forbidden Land.

Yet this secret was completely unbeknownst to his Guardian Beasts.

Gu Xing's gaze turned to Liu Li.

He believed Liu Li would never betray his expectations.

At this moment.

Liu Li's face was full of panic.

The Ghost Race's claws were growing ever nearer to Gu Xing's throat, almost touching his skin already.

An unprecedented sense of fear surged in, drowning her, leaving her completely at a loss.

The "Divine Protection" skill had just been used; she couldn't activate it again to protect Gu Xing.

Though she'd already pushed herself to rush toward her master, but...

She couldn't make it!

What to do?

What to do?!

Immense terror thundered through her soul.

If Gu Xing died...

Just that thought made her breath come to an abrupt halt.

No!

Absolutely not!

This sort of thing... how could it possibly happen?!

In that instant, the world seemed to slow down; all color faded in her vision.

Her gaze was locked dead between the Ghost Race's claws and Gu Xing's throat, as if the whole world narrowed to that deadly inch of distance.

She is a Guardian Angel!

If she can't even protect her own master...

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This sort of thing...

Absolutely cannot happen!

The blazing red Ultimate Fire burning around her suddenly froze, as if sensing something.

Gradually, the ferocious flames faded from their savagery...

Gradually, they were tinged with a layer of holy radiance—the red slowly transformed into dazzling golden light.

At the same time, the red Fire Pattern on her twelve wings was washed anew by the Holy Light, gradually turning to gold.

The Celestial Fire Domain changed accordingly—

Where flames once surged in red, now a sacred golden sea of fire replaced them.

And on Liu Li's brow, an ancient Guardian Mark began to appear.

"Wooo—!!"

In a flash, a brilliant gold pillar of light burst skyward!

That golden column shot straight into the clouds, ripping open the thick layers of black cloud!

A hundred miles away, at the Ghost Clan's Residence—

All Ghost Race elites who had entered the Forbidden Land had gathered here.

Their leader was "Qing", the one exiled here several decades ago.

Now, as that soaring column of light split the sky, Qing's expression shifted dramatically.

"That aura..."

"Absolutely not of the Ghost Race!"

"Even less likely to be of the Demon Race!"

A thought raced through his mind...

Could another race have trespassed in the Forbidden Land?

But that's the connection to the Ghost Race's Forbidden Land...

How could any other race enter?

A possibility struck him.

Could something have happened to the Ghost Race?

Thinking of this, Qing barked a sharp command:

"All Monarch Level Ghost Race, follow me to the place of the light column!"

"Yes, sir!"

Led by Qing, the strong Ghost Race figures turned into streaks of darkness, dashing toward the pillar of light.

Meanwhile, the Demon Race in this region also sensed the holy aura.

Dozens of Monarch Level Demon Race members simultaneously looked toward the light column, their eyes flashing with greed.

"A new prey is delivered right to us!"

Under orders from the Monarch Level Demons, the vast Demon Race army surged toward the source of the column like a flood.

At the center of the battlefield—

Gu Xing stared at the completely transformed Liu Li, pupils frozen.

"Exactly as expected..."

"Just as Lilith said..."

Only at this moment did Liu Li fully display her entire potential as a Myth Nine Stars Guardian Beast!

[Divine Angels (Liu Li)]

[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]

[Level: Commander Tier Four]

[Status: Guardian Angel Form]

[Power: 30000→120000]

[Constitution: 30000→120000]

[Spirit: 30000→120000]

[Speed: 30000→120000]

[Skills: Guardian Angel Form (Full Attribute Amplification 400%), Guardian Domain, Guardian Law (can channel a trace of Power of Laws)]

Liu Li's Basic Attributes still remained at 30,000 points—without any growth at all.

But...

Blazing Skills disappeared, and Celestial Fire Domain was gone as well.

What replaced them was a brand new Domain:

Guardian Domain.

When Gu Xing checked this Skill's detailed description, his pupils shrank.

[Guardian Domain: After activation, the designated target protected by Liu Li gains Absolute Defense status. Unless Liu Li dies or lifts the Domain willingly, the protected will not suffer any harm]

"This..."

Gu Xing involuntarily swallowed.

This Domain's effect...

It completely abandoned all offensive power...

But...

This is basically a Divine Skill of the Defense System!

From now on, as long as Liu Li activates the Domain, he will be invincible within its range.

"That's insane..."

"Is this the true might of a Myth Nine Stars Guardian Beast?"

Before, he had felt the Celestial Fire Domain didn't live up to Liu Li's rank...

But now...

The Celestial Fire Domain had evolved into the Guardian Domain!

The effect of this Domain is like a cheat code!

Now, Liu Li was—without a doubt—the strongest Guardian-type Guardian Beast in the world!

No other Guardian Beast could match her in Guardian Ability!

Just then—

The claws of that Monarch Tier Three Ghost Race stopped dead—just one inch from Gu Xing's throat.

The Ghost stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape.

"Impossible..."

He had gone all out, even unleashed the Ghost Race's Secret Technique: Third Technique: Heaven-Breaking.

But even so, his claws could not advance one bit further.

Liu Li's eyes were as calm as still water.

The golden Guardian Domain covered the entire area.

Within the Domain, the attacks of all three Monarch Level Ghost Race members were nullified.

"This can't be?!"

Shock was etched across the faces of the ghosts.

But this is precisely the effect of Liu Li's new Domain!

As long as the Domain endures, the protection persists!
