Chapter 417: Chapter 418: The Despair-Inducing Demon God

Facing Yuan’s terrifying pressure, as if the sky itself was collapsing.

Gu Xing’s body involuntarily trembled, a primal fear screamed from the depths of his soul.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to him.

The last time he faced the Insect Emperor, he had felt this absolute crushing of life levels.

But this time, it was different.

The oppressive presence of Demon God Abyss was ten, no, a hundred times more terrifying than the Insect Emperor!

It was the aura of despair brought by a supreme being who held dominion and looked down upon all creatures.

However, Gu Xing was no longer the weak Monarch-level Beast Master he once was!

The totem-level power coursed through him, and his comprehension of the laws gave him a sliver of courage to struggle!

His body still sent signals of fear, every cell screamed to flee.

Yet his will was like tempered steel, steadfastly anchored in place!

If he could still move, then there was still a chance to fight!

Even if the opponent was a demon god, he would never sit idly by!

“Liu Li, Vera, Sally!”

Gu Xing’s voice rang through the soul link.

The three Guardian Beasts responded instantly, their faces devoid of hesitation, only the determination to live and die with their master!

Liu Li’s twelve wings spread wide, shielding Gu Xing firmly behind her.

She looked up at the demon god’s figure in the sky, her eyes full of defiance.

From the Northern Territory to the seas, from Monarch to Totem, they had faced life and death countless times and come through!

This time, she firmly believed that as long as their master was there, no obstacle was insurmountable!

Meanwhile, deep within Vera’s emerald eyes, the tyrannical will belonging to the Insect Emperor surfaced and roiled once more!

But unlike before when she was forced to devour, this time she took the initiative to guide and merge!

The terrifying memories of losing her master were like a nightmare striking at her soul!

She would never allow such a thing to happen again!

Even if it meant sacrificing everything, burning through it all, she would protect the one in front of her!

Driven by this extreme obsession, the fusion of the Devouring Law and her essence deepened at an unprecedented speed.

Her Talent emitted a faint cracking sound, taking another small step towards the Origin level!

Sally had the simplest and purest thoughts.

She clung tightly to Gu Xing’s sleeve, with faint golden Time ripples undulating around her.

She neither possessed Liu Li’s formidable combat strength nor Vera’s complex thinking.

She only knew that wherever her master was, she would be there.

If her master wanted to fight, she would give her all to buy her master that fleeting opening.

Gu Xing felt the thoughts of his Guardian Beasts, and his heart was heavy.

He knew better than anyone the gap before him.

The chasm between Totem-level and Divine-level was as vast as a natural barrier!

Even if they all advanced, their strength skyrocketing, they remained insignificant before a true demon god.

But the Dragon Emperor had already fallen, and Dragon Island was in ruins.

If he retreated now, the entire Human Race, the entire Alternate Space, would face annihilation!

Taking a deep breath, the last trace of hesitation in Gu Xing’s eyes was completely dispelled, replaced by an overwhelming battle intent!

No matter what, he had to try!

Demon God Abyss took in Gu Xing and his companions’ reactions, the mockery in its blood-red eyes growing more intense.

“Humans, it seems you haven’t grasped the reality.”

Yuan’s voice was as indifferent as one looking down on ants.

“I admit, your potential is astounding. Perhaps there truly will come a day when you equal my might, but not today!”

“Totem-level? Even if you possess the power to reverse defeat at Tier Nine in that level, so what?”

“You must understand, a Totem Nine-tier might as well be a plaything I can create at will!”

“And you, in this moment, vainly try to challenge a true deity with such paltry strength? Laughable! Pathetic!”

At this moment, Yuan’s murderous intent had reached its peak.

No matter what connection Gu Xing had with that being of the past, be it reincarnation or a shadow spanning time, as long as he was utterly obliterated at this moment, all threats would vanish!

However, at this moment Gu Xing entirely disregarded the demon god’s words.

He roared furiously, launching the first attack!

“Do it!”

He pushed his totem-level Spiritual Power to its limits!

“Soul-devouring!”

“Sovereign!”

“Divine Pattern!”

“Link!”

“Law Creation!”

Gu Xing’s eyes were filled with madness.

Reckless of consequences, he frantically drove the five forces within him.

He understood that against such an enemy, numbers were utterly useless.

The only way was to gather all their power onto Liu Li.

“Boom——!!!”

A vast torrent of energy burst from within Gu Xing, rushing crazily into Liu Li!

Liu Li received this power, her twelve radiant wings bursting with dazzling brilliance!

She felt her power instantly break through the Totem limit, climbing towards an unimaginable level!

The two sources of Law condensed in her hands to form a Platinum Holy Sword!

“Judgement!”

Liu Li gave her all, releasing the strongest strike of her life!

Where the sword light passed, space quietly disintegrated, as if even time might be severed by this strike!

Against this strike, which concentrated all the power of Gu Xing’s team, enough to instantly annihilate any Totem-level opponent.

Yet, the corners of Demon God Abyss’s mouth curled with a cruel smile.

He didn’t even make a defensive or evasive move, merely raising his right hand casually, and lightly gripping the devastating sword light.

“Pop…”

A faint sound like a bubble bursting.

The strike containing all of Gu Xing’s hope shattered, a hundred feet from Demon God Abyss as if hitting an invisible wall, silently…

Crumbled, disintegrated, and dissipated.

Absolute disparity!

An insurmountable chasm!

“Heh…”

Demon God Abyss let out an ambiguous chuckle, filled with the mocking tone of a cat playing with a mouse.

“Truly naïve!”

He shook his head.

The next moment, his figure vanished.

It wasn’t speed taken to the extreme, but a true disappearance.

He traversed spatial distances, ignoring the passage of time!

In the eyes of the Guardian Beasts, he appeared without warning in front… of Gu Xing!

The distance between them was now only a step away!

Seeing the demon god before him, Gu Xing’s body suddenly stiffened.

This was a primal reaction when facing an unopposable existence.

And the faces of the Guardian Beasts were filled with terror.

They were not afraid that this demon god would act against them.

But they feared… that they couldn’t protect their master!

“Master!!”

The Guardian Beasts let out a cry, then charged towards the demon god.

But still…

Yuan merely waved his hand lightly.

The next moment.

The Guardian Beasts were instantly frozen in place.

With the Guardian Beasts dealt with, Yuan’s face bore a ferocious smile, his right hand gently, nonchalantly…

Reaching towards Gu Xing’s head.

That hand, seemingly slow, made Gu Xing’s body rigid, even plunging his mind into a quagmire, incapable of any response!

“No——!!!”

Liu Li let out a heart-wrenching scream, charging frantically forward!

Vera’s eyes were bloodshot, attempting to burn her soul!

Sally desperately activated the Time Law, but it was as if of no use!

It was all too late.
