A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 384 The Ninth Rank of a Monarch!

now.

A peculiar tranquility pervaded the smoke-filled battlefield.

Gu Xing sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

His body was enveloped in layers of pure demonic energy, so dense it was almost liquefied, like a giant dark cocoon of light.

This energy originated from the large number of high-level demons that were just killed.

At this moment, he is absorbing and refining it at an astonishing speed.

Not only him, but all the contracted beasts, including Liuli and Vera, are steadily increasing in aura.

Upon seeing this, Lilith moved closer to the Snow Woman.

"Xiaoxue, Gu Xing was already at the fifth level of the Monarch realm before. After absorbing so much demonic energy this time, his level is probably at the peak of the Monarch realm!"

The Snow Woman concentrated and sensed for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her icy blue eyes, and nodded slightly:

"Hmm, the total amount of this energy is probably enough to support dozens of fifth-level King-level Beast Tamers to advance to their peak."

"Although Gu Xing requires a huge amount of energy for each advancement, this time..."

"Reaching the pinnacle of kingship will definitely not be a problem!"

Having received the Snow Maiden's affirmation, Lilith's gaze once again fell upon Gu Xing at the energy core.

A hint of undisguised envy flickered in her eyes.

"Speaking of which, you and I are both already at the totem level!"

"But I don't know why, seeing Liuli and Vera able to break through with Gu Xing time and time again, I still feel a little envious."

The Snow Woman remained silent for a moment, glanced at Lilith, and then slowly spoke:
"Perhaps you are not envious of Liuli and Vera's increased strength, you are just envious of their ability to grow alongside Gu Xing."

"Perhaps only when you truly become Gu Xing's tamed beast will you be able to completely let go of this mentality."

"but."

She paused, then turned to Lilith, her tone becoming serious:
"Are you really not going to consider telling Gu Xing and having him sign a contract with you first?"

“Now that Liuli and Vera are stronger than you, they don’t need your totem-level strength to lead the charge.”

"Why don't you suggest to Gu Xing that you sign a contract with him?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith fell into an even longer silence.

After a long silence, she finally spoke in a low voice with some hesitation:
"Let's... let's wait a little longer. That spot will be reserved anyway."

"Moreover... for some reason, I always feel... it's a little difficult to say when it comes to asking him to form a contract with me."

Seeing her friend's awkward expression, the Snow Woman shook her head helplessly:
"You're so stubborn. What if Gu Xing decides it's a waste to leave this spot unused and gives it to someone else? You'll have no one to blame but yourself!"

However, Lilith didn't care.

She still wanted to wait for Gu Xing to take the initiative to speak and form a contract with her.

Unlike the hushed conversation between Lilith and the Snow Woman.

Long Zhenguo and the others, standing to the side, looked around warily.

Gu Xing is now humanity's only hope.

Any of them could get into trouble, but Gu Xing absolutely cannot!

This place used to be a battlefield where the demons fought.

Therefore, with Gu Xing's upgrade, they dared not let their guard down for even a moment.

"Vero, you're in charge of guarding the south!"

"Chief You, we entrust the east to you!"

"Qing, Lord Liuxia, I'll trouble you two with the west side!"

"I will personally guard the north side! Make sure it is absolutely safe!"

"understand!"

"rest assured!"

The crowd responded in unison and immediately dispersed, each taking up a post.

They spread their mental energy to its fullest extent, vigilantly scanning every inch of the surrounding land and sky. Although most of the demons had been wiped out, no one could guarantee that there weren't any survivors or other potential threats.

Gu Xing is the hope of humanity and even the entire alliance; his safety is of paramount importance.

Time passes in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the enormous energy cocoon enveloping Gu Xing suddenly contracted inward, like a whale sucking in water, and was completely absorbed into his body!
"Om-!"

A powerful aura erupted from him, spreading outwards! His level began to rise steadily!
Kingship Level Six!

Seventh Rank of King!

Eight ranks of monarchy!

The Nine Ranks of a Monarch!

Finally, his aura stabilized at the peak of the ninth level of the Monarch realm. He was just one opportunity away from opening the door to the Totem level!

Gu Xing slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and profound.

For him personally, the direct increase in combat power from the fifth level of the monarch to the peak of the ninth level was not significant.

The main advantage is that the ability to create laws becomes more readily available.

But for the few tamed beasts...
That fourth-tier advancement is incredibly terrifying.

Liuli and Vera's core attribute values ​​have surged, both approaching the million mark, resulting in a qualitative leap in their strength!

Even Tu Shan Yue Li, whose aptitude was slightly inferior, saw her attributes increase by nearly 200,000, a significant improvement.

This clearly shows the difference between Origin Level and Mythical Level.

Mythical Five-Star and Origin Level, even when upgraded to the same level, have attributes that differ by a factor of two.

Noticing this, Gu Xing felt even more strongly that he should improve the aptitude of the other beasts.

The Lapis Lazuli is now at the Origin level.

Vera has embarked on the path of mythology's transformation into its origin.

And the other beast taming
Qing Shuang and Fei Yue are currently unaware of the situation.

The other two beasts.
Tu Shan Yue Li's current aptitude is still only Mythical Five-Star.

As for Sally
Gu Xing's gaze fell upon the Beast Taming Space.

After arriving in the snowy region last time, he also used the system to check Sally's information.

but
The reason for Sally's sleep has still not been discovered.

Therefore, he still placed Sally in the Soul Nourishing Pool.

And Sally's current qualifications
It was still only for monarchs.

To know.
Sally's abilities are related to time.

If Sally is trained, she will be of immense help to him.

With this in mind, Gu Xing roughly determined his development path for the next stage.

That means we should prioritize training Tu Shan Yue Li and Sally!
But at this very moment...

The Snow Woman, holding Lilith's hand, walked quickly over with a solemn expression.

"Gu Xing, something's not right!"

The snow woman's voice carried an unusual sense of urgency.

Gu Xing's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"The Snow Wolf Clan has just sent word—they have discovered that throughout the entire alternate dimension, all demons, regardless of their level, from Awakening to King, are undergoing a large-scale, orderly retreat!"

"Their targets are all aligned, converging on the core area of ​​the Demon Realm!"

This news is undoubtedly a heavy blow!
Gu Xing's brows furrowed instantly.

All demons retreated?

Something is very wrong!

There are often conflicts between different demon tribes, so the fact that they could put aside their differences and act in unison only proves one thing:
A higher being has issued the order!

And this being is very likely the Demon God from the depths of the Abyss!
