Chapter 380 - 381: Aster Grant Awakens!
Veridia felt the ghost qi that had been dormant inside her body erupt like a volcano, pure energy breaking through all constraints.
Her level soared at an unprecedented speed—
Monarch Tier Three, Tier Four, finally stabilizing at the peak of Monarch Tier Five!
Though only a third-tier advancement, for Veridia...
It was completely enough!
Feeling the power surging through her entire being, she lifted her gaze to the terrifying attack coming from the Demon Clan.
There was not a hint of fear in her blue eyes, but instead a fierce battle intent ignited.
"Ghost King’s Body!"
"Ghost Clan Fourth Style: Star Shattering!"
Without a trace of hesitation, Veridia utilized all her trump cards instantly.
The dense ghost qi enveloped her like a tangible black armor, her attributes suddenly skyrocketed like a rocket, with her momentum shooting straight to the sky!
In the next moment, she slowly raised her right fist.
On her unadorned fist, the black light of the Law of Power rapidly gathered and compressed, emanating terrifying waves capable of distorting space.
Law of Power, one strength to break ten thousand techniques!
No matter how fearsome the attack from this group of demons was, for Veridia...
The method to counter was always to smash it back with her own fist!
"Boom——!!!"
The fist edge imbued with destructive power collided fiercely with the overwhelming demonic qi from the combined attack of several demons!
In a deafening explosion, a violent energy shockwave erupted in concentric circles.
Everything around - mountains, rocks, trees - was razed to the ground, leaving a giant crater on the earth.
Seeing this scene, several demons from afar showed regretful expressions.
"Let’s go, this ghost race talent was not bad, what a pity."
"If she were to submit to our clan, she would definitely be a massive asset in the future."
"But she made the most foolish choice!"
Saying this, the demons began to leave.
However...
At the center of the crater, a strand of purest black ghost qi seeped out like thread.
And then, like a dam breaking, it surged forth explosively!
The dust that was gradually dissipating was instantly dispersed, revealing a steadfast figure within.
Witnessing this unbelievable sight, the smug faces of the demons froze at once and transformed into shock!
"Impossible! How could she not be dead?!"
"Such an attack would severely injure even a Totem Tier Two! She’s at Monarch Level..."
"Monster! She is simply a monster!"
No matter how shocked they were, the truth was undeniable.
The aura around Veridia not only didn’t weaken but instead continued to climb!
Her indifferent gaze scanned over the present demons, her chilly voice carrying no emotion:
"This charade is over!"
Before her words fell, her figure blurred, instantly plunging into the center of the demons!
Like a wolf among sheep!
Her strength surged to Monarch Tier Five, having used all her trump cards...
At this moment, Veridia was like the reaper harvesting lives.
Her movements were so fast that only afterimages remained, fist, palm, finger, knee...
Every part of her body became the deadliest weapon, with the Law of Power and Slaughter Law intertwined, every strike inevitably accompanied by the fall of a demon!
Shrill screams and the sound of demon artifacts shattering rang out incessantly, but quickly fell silent.
In just moments, all demons present were dead.
Veridia stood quietly in the field, thick demon blood dripping from her fingertips.
The Slaughter Law swirling around her became even more blood-red and glaring, having absorbed a large amount of slaughter aura.
She slowly restrained the surging ghost qi, her gaze directed towards the deepest part of this world.
She had a premonition...
As long as she could reach the deepest part of this world, she could reunite with her master.
...
At the same time.
Edge of the Demon Domain.
At this moment, the battlefield was critical.
Even though Lilith had forcibly raised her strength to Totem Tier Three peak by consuming the blood of thirteen Totem-level demons, and successfully trapped the Red-horned Demon Lord and other five-tier strong opponents with the Blood Domain.
The pressure she faced from the combined assault of the top-tier demons had pushed her to the brink of her limit.
"Crack..."
The cracks on the barrier of the Blood Domain spread out clearly like a spider web.
The entire domain trembled violently, emitting a groan as if it were on the brink of collapse.
Lilith’s face was as pale as paper, her delicate body trembling slightly, obviously reaching her limits.
She looked in the direction where Aster Grant was, yet he hadn’t completed his advancement.
"I can only fight desperately..."
Lilith gritted her silver teeth, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
If she couldn’t hold back these demons, everything would be in vain!
The next moment, Lilith suddenly slit her wrist.
Blood flowed continuously from her body.
The Blood Clan’s own blood is the source of their power, and Lilith’s current act...
was to enhance the domain’s strength forcefully with her own blood.
Nourished by this power, the cracks on the domain’s barrier began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The tremors temporarily subsided, and the Blood Domain stabilized once more.
But corresponding to this...
Lilith’s aura diminished visibly.
Within the Blood Domain.
The Red-horned Demon Lord, leading the group, felt the domain barrier stabilize again, his expression dark and almost dripping with water.
To think that five Totem Third Tier demons were kept at bay by a single member of the Blood Clan for so long,
An utter disgrace!
His scarlet eyes brimmed with murderous intent.
"We can’t drag this out any longer! Everyone, no matter the cost, focus your magic power on a single point and forcefully smash through this shell!"
"Yes, sir!"
Five torrents of vast Totem-level demonic qi were mobilized instantly, like five raging Demon Dragons.
Under the Red-horned Demon Lord’s guidance, they precisely converged on the same point of the domain barrier!
The pressure on that point increased exponentially.
The barrier, just repaired, emitted a piercing cracking sound, its light flickering wildly, on the verge of collapse.
Meanwhile.
The frontline composed of Zane Drake, Cavan Vero, Shade, Veridia, and Summer Gardner was even more precarious.
Each of them faced multiple Totem-level demon clan warriors at once, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Although Zane Drake and Cavan Vero were newly entered Totem Tier One, they had contracted several powerful Monarch-level Beastbonds.
At the moment, they and their Beastbonds fought in coordination, supporting each other, barely holding their ground against the demons’ ferocious storm-like attacks.
Yet, they also faced peril at every step, wounds adorning their bodies.
The situation was even more difficult for the Ghost Clan’s Shade, Veridia, and the Angel Race’s Summer Gardner.
They relied solely on their own strength to withstand the attacks.
Under such circumstances, the injuries on each of them were severe.
Worse still, a few Tier Two Totem demon clan commanders, who had been holding back and not yet acted, began to lose patience.
They exchanged glances, and demonic qi started to gather around them.
On Lilith’s battlefield, the Blood Domain was reaching its limit.
"Boom——!!!"
An earth-shattering explosion erupted!
Lilith’s Blood Domain, finally breaching its limit under the combined assault of the five Demon Lords, shattered completely like broken glass!
The vast scarlet energy dispersed instantly, transforming into myriad points of light in the sky.
Five terrifying figures soared into the sky from the shattered domain, carrying overwhelming wrath and murderous intent!
The Red-horned Demon Lord’s gaze immediately locked onto Lilith, whose aura was depleted, barely able to maintain flight.
"Blood Clan, even if you fought desperately to hold us back for a while, what’s the use? Now, you will still face death!"
At this moment, due to burning too much of her original essence blood, Lilith was weakened to the extreme, barely able to stabilize herself.
Facing these five Totem Third Tier demons, she seemed to be in dire straits.
Yet, surprisingly, Lilith’s pale face did not show any fear.
Instead, a relieved smile appeared.
Her gaze turned once more to the center where the energy lights gradually converged behind her.
Because just before the domain shattered, she distinctly sensed—
that reassuring presence had finally completed its final transformation!
Aster Grant had awakened!
