My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Gu Xing did not hesitate in the slightest.

He poured out all his remaining spiritual power without reservation!

A gentle golden beam of light accurately enveloped the core area of Feng Ni most severely corroded by Demonic Qi.

Her heart and head!

"Ssssss——"

The moment the golden radiance touched the Demonic Qi...

The reaction was extremely intense!

Fortunately, the amount of Celestial Grace seemed to have some natural restraint against the Demonic Qi.

Where it shone, the sticky ink-like Demonic Qi actually began to churn and dissolve violently!

"Ugh...!"

The pillar of light enveloped her, and Feng Ni let out a moan mixed with extreme pain and a trace of relief.

In her eyes, which had completely turned pitch black...

A weak but resilient golden-red light began to flicker and pulse!

That was her self-awareness, about to be completely devoured.

At this moment, with the help of Celestial Grace, it began to fight back!

"It works!"

Gu Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart, but his expression quickly became more somber.

He sensed that the Demonic Qi within Feng Ni was extremely stubborn.

The purification speed of Celestial Grace was far behind the speed at which the Demonic Qi from her deeper body regions counterattacked and regenerated!

"Not enough... far from enough!"

Gu Xing clenched his teeth, his soul body fluctuating violently due to excessive exertion, almost on the verge of collapse.

But he knew, he absolutely couldn't retreat at this moment!

Once interrupted, all efforts would be wasted, and they would fall into an irredeemable situation!

Meanwhile, a crisis unfolded in the sky above.

"Ants... you have utterly enraged me."

The icy voice of Demon God Yuan suddenly rang out.

The interference caused by Long Qingyan's all-out attack had ended.

Though his shape wavered slightly and his Demonic Qi was chaotic, he had not suffered any substantial harm.

At this moment, his blood-red eyes locked entirely onto Gu Xing and Feng Ni at the pit's bottom.

Especially on that golden beam of light purifying the Demonic Qi!

"Trying to stop such a transformation? Wishful thinking!"

He no longer paid attention to Long Qingyan, whose presence was enfeebled and temporarily non-threatening in the distance.

Nor did he heed Sally, who released the Time Law and tried once again to intercept him.

That giant demon claw, large enough to cover the sky, began to condense.

But this time, the Demonic Qi entwining it was even more solid and terrifying.

It pressed down slowly toward Gu Xing and the purifying Feng Ni!

The speed was not fast, but it filled everyone present with despair!

"Master!"

Sally was utterly panic-stricken, frantically urging the Time Law in an attempt to slow the descent of that giant claw.

But her power, in the face of the Demon God's enraged strike, was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The instant the Time Law touched the giant claw, it shattered inch by inch!

Long Qingyan's eyes widened in despair.

She wanted to struggle to her feet, but the power of the Dragon Emperor's Talisman had already been depleted.

She, at Monarch Level, had also reached her limit.

Now, even raising her dragon head had become exceedingly difficult.

Gu Xing's spiritual perception naturally sensed this scene.

But he did not turn back, nor did he cease maintaining the Celestial Grace.

All his focus was entirely on rescuing Feng Ni.

He knew that stopping meant death.

Continuing might still hold a slim chance of survival!

"Feng Ni! Wake up!!"

Gu Xing no longer relied solely on the power of Celestial Grace.

He also infused his own will into Feng Ni's mind.

He was making a final attempt!

Betting on Feng Ni's pride as a Supreme Spiritual Beast, that she would never willingly degenerate into the Demon Race at the brink of her breakthrough!

As if responding to his call.

Or perhaps the continued purification by Celestial Grace finally took effect.

Or maybe she sensed Gu Xing's unyielding, defiant will against the Demon God...

"Caw——!!!!!!!!!"

A piercing, sky-cracking cry of boundless fury erupted from Feng Ni's mouth!

This time, the cry was not solely filled with pain...

But also carried a dignity of being reborn anew!

Her eyes, which had been thoroughly corroded by Demonic Qi, now shone brilliantly with golden-red light.

Though still entwined with Demonic Qi, clarity now prevailed!

"Boom——!!!"

Meanwhile.

A far more pure, grand aura than before.

A truly terrifying presence of the Pseudo-God level erupted from within Feng Ni!

The Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi around her were no longer in opposition, but under her guidance...

They began to merge and elevate!

She had successfully regained control of her body!

And by seizing this opportunity born from destruction and reconstruction, she broke through the barrier that troubled her for so long, genuinely stepping into...

The Pseudo-God Realm!

The reborn Pseudo-God Phoenix opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was that Demon God's claw, about to crush her and her savior!

No fear, only blazing anger!

"Yuan——!"

Feng Ni let out a thunderous roar, her wings spread wide.

The newborn Pseudo-God power poured out without reservation, transforming into a golden-red pillar of fire that scorched the void, surging upward and fiercely colliding with that sky-covering giant claw!

"Rumble-rumble-rumble——!!!!!!!!!"

A collision of Pseudo-God levels!

An energy storm more terrifying than the previous Dragon Emperor's shadow attack spread out!

The entire pit groaned under the strain of such a clash, with vast layers of rock vaporizing into nothing!

Demon God Yuan's kill strike was forcibly stopped mid-air by Feng Ni's furious blow!

At the pit's bottom, Gu Xing knelt on one knee, exhausted.

His soul body was so thin it seemed on the verge of dissipating.

But as he gazed at the majestic phoenix silhouette ahead, a difficult smile spread across his lips.

The gamble had been won!

In the sky above, Demon God Yuan's face darkened terrifyingly as he observed Feng Ni below, her aura now entirely different, having successfully reached the Pseudo-God Realm.

He had not expected these ants to actually disrupt his plans right under his nose.

To forcibly reverse the transformation of a soon-to-be Demon Race Pseudo-God!

"Very well..."

Yuan's voice was icy and piercing, the Demonic Qi around him beginning to gather on an unprecedented scale, darkening the entire sky of Demon God Abyss.

"A newly ascended Pseudo-God... I shall personally measure your strength!"

Gu Xing, struggling to hold onto his nearly collapsing consciousness, labored to look up at the sky.

Although Feng Ni had successfully broken through to Pseudo-God and forcefully blocked a strike from Demon God Yuan, the situation was far from optimistic.

Feng Ni was, after all, newly entered into the Pseudo-God Realm, her realm not yet stable.

Her control of power was far less experienced and profound than Demon God Yuan's.

That earlier furious blow seemed grand, but in truth, she had exerted her utmost.

Whereas Demon God Yuan had clearly not yet utilized his true strength.

Now, the entire sky of Demon God Abyss darkened with Yuan's wrath, boundless Demonic Qi converging from all directions, its pressure several times more terrifying than before!

The next move would undoubtedly be far more powerful!

"We must leave here as soon as possible..."

Feng Ni might manage to entangle Demon God Yuan temporarily, but there was no chance of victory.

Once she exhausted her strength and fell, none of them would escape with their lives.

He looked at Long Qingyan, now enfeebled, and the overexpended Sally beside him, then at the phoenix silhouette standing guard in the skies above.

The urgent task at hand was to find a means of escape.
