My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Having said this, Gu Xing abruptly turned around to face the Demon God, who had already gathered Demonic Qi to its peak!

Phoenix Ni took one last deep gaze at that back figure, as if to etch the back that had saved her from despair deeply into the core of her soul.

Immediately after, she let out a sorrowful phoenix cry that pierced through the clouds, and the Pseudo-God Power around her exploded.

She swept up Long Qingyan, who was forcibly restrained by the Contract's power, with dragon tears streaming down but powerless to resist.

Transforming into a brilliant stream of light that tore through the Void, she fled without looking back toward the direction of the Alternate Space!

"Hmph! Did I grant you permission to leave?"

These repeated provocations and incidents finally ignited Demon God Abyss's fury completely.

Seeing that Phoenix Ni dared to escape right in front of him, he let out a cold snort, and the Circulation Demonic Qi boiled as a result!

The vast Demon Might split into two, one part transforming into a monstrous demonic claw that blotted out the sky.

With inconceivable speed, it enveloped towards the light beam that Phoenix Ni had become.

The other part transformed into a destructive torrent of Demonic Qi, crushing down towards Sally, who was fully merging the Divine Pattern, and the protective Gu Xing!

He intended to capture these ants who had repeatedly offended him in one swoop and erase them completely from the world!

"Sally! Quick!"

Gu Xing's pupils contracted abruptly, and he roared fiercely!

As he alerted, he recklessly burned the scant, nearly depleted source of his soul.

Extracting the last of his Spiritual Power, he transformed it into a spiritual barrier, ascending against the current.

He attempted to buy Sally that critical time for merging!

Sally understood, and her eyes showed only absolute focus.

Her petite body trembled violently from excessively urging the Time Law.

Blood streaks had already seeped out from her seven orifices, but her hands merging the Divine Pattern were as steady as a rock, without a hint of tremor!

Faster!

Must be a bit faster!

"Boom——!!!!!"

The leading torrent of Demonic Qi from the Demon God's angry strike fiercely collided with the spiritual barrier Gu Xing had raised!

Almost without suspense!

Faced with the utter disparity in Power, the defense Gu Xing had built with everything he had shattered and collapsed like paper!

His Soul Body suffered a heavy blow, letting out a groan of pain, becoming even more transparent and ethereal.

Even the edges began to show signs of dispersing, as if he might vanish completely in the next moment!

Yet the most terrifying part was, after crushing the barrier, the torrent of Demonic Qi had not significantly weakened.

It still surged forward with destructive momentum, targeting the helpless Gu Xing below and Sally in the critical stage of fusion!

If struck directly, with their Totem Level strength, their spirits would undoubtedly be annihilated, with no chance of survival!

What to do?

What to do?

Gu Xing looked at the incoming attack, a thread of despair igniting in his heart.

He originally thought that by burning all his Power, he could block the Demon God's attack for a moment.

But...

He miscalculated!

And the price of that mistake... was his and Sally's lives!

Seeing that Sally's fusion was at the final juncture, Gu Xing gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, he stepped forward.

He intended to block the attack with his body!

Except...

Using his body to withstand the Demon God's blow, one could only imagine the outcome.

Except...

Just as the torrent of Demonic Qi was about to engulf Gu Xing completely.

An unforeseen change occurred!

Gu Xing felt a previously silent Contract tether at the core of his soul suddenly turn hot!

A familiar and warm Power surged towards him as if crossing endless barriers of time and space!

This Power, carrying Liu Li's unique Guardian intention, instantly filled his nearly desiccated soul!

It was Liu Li!

It was Liu Li's Power!

Although he didn't know why, in this life-and-death moment, Gu Xing had no hesitation.

Almost instinctively, he directed this Guardian Force that had appeared out of nowhere.

He activated the only life-saving trump card he could use at this moment——

"Divine Protection! Absolute Defense!"

Buzz——!

A dazzling golden shield, containing the supreme Guardian Law, expanded with Gu Xing at the center!

On the shield, the ultimate Guardian Law flowed!

"Rumble——!!!"

The torrent of Demonic Qi from the Demon God Abyss, powerful enough to obliterate stars, fiercely struck the Divine Protection shield!

However, this time, the result was completely different!

The terrifying Demonic Qi that could easily tear through Gu Xing's spiritual barrier, upon striking the golden shield...

Exploded with a deafening crash, but couldn't shake it in the slightest!

The golden shield remained as solid as a rock, firmly protecting Gu Xing and Sally, who was fully focused on merging the Divine Pattern, and all the Demonic Qi erosion and destructive Energy were isolated outside!

"What?!"

In the sky, the scarlet eyes of Demon God Abyss revealed a clear astonishment for the first time!

This human...

Actually blocked his attack!

"Sally! Hurry up!"

At the same time.

Gu Xing, enduring the soul-tearing pain, shouted towards Sally behind him.

He knew that even though Divine Protection was powerful, it could only block one attack.

They must complete the fusion of the Divine Pattern and the opening of the river of time within this precious invincible moment!

Sally dared not be distracted for even a moment, pushing her fusion speed to the limit!

The fragment of the Temporal Divine Pattern in her hand radiated brilliantly, echoing with the clock imprint on her forehead.

A vague apparition of a time river was rapidly solidifying and becoming clearer behind her!

"Hmph! Let's see how long your turtle shell can last!"

Demon God Abyss, coming back from his astonishment, had even more intense killing intent in his eyes.

Even more terrifying attacks began to brew!

The entire sky of Demon Abyss seemed to be collapsing!

And then.

"Buzz——!!!"

In Sally's hand, the fragment of the Temporal Divine Pattern suddenly exploded with resplendent brilliance!

The apparition of an expansive river, composed of myriad threads of time, behind her, solidified completely and flowed gently!

Though highly unstable, it emitted an aura truly superior to ordinary Laws!

The fusion has succeeded!

At the same time, an invisible time ripple with Sally at its center rapidly spread across the entire battlefield!

Under the Function of the third of the Temporal Divine Pattern merged...

The time flow of the entire battlefield descended into absolute stasis!

The wind stopped, Demonic Qi solidified, and sound vanished.

The titanic demonic claw of Demon God Abyss, poised to strike Phoenix Ni, halted mid-air.

The wrath on his face, preparing for an even more terrible attack, also froze completely.

Even the monstrous Demonic Qi gathering in the sky was like a frozen photograph...

All was silent, but the apparition of the river of time quietly flowed behind Sally.

Relying on the Power of the Divine Pattern, Sally forced this region's time to halt once again!

Gu Xing watched this scene, akin to a miracle, and his long-held tense spirit could finally relax a bit as an overwhelming weakness overcame him.

He cast one last deep look at Demon God Abyss, time-frozen but still exuding a heart-palpitating Demon Might in the high sky.

Imprinting that figure which brought him endless pressure and disgrace deeply into his soul.

This was the second time!

Twice facing the Demon God and both times so disgraced.

Next time...

The next time he met, he would never be so powerless!

"Go!"

Without further hesitation, he used his last ounce of strength to grab the weakened Sally, who was barely holding it together after forcibly urging the Divine Pattern, and leaped into the apparition of the time river.

Their figures instantly vanished.

The apparition of the time river also fluctuated violently in response, slowly dissipating into the Void.
