Chapter 440 - 441: Encounter with the Demon God!
Chapter 440 - 441: Encounter with the Demon God!
At the same time.
After leaving the mine, Aster Grant, following Sally’s guidance, was constantly approaching the area where the demon god was descending.
"Sally, is the source of the Divine Pattern’s resonance in this direction?"
Aster constantly increased his speed to the limit and reconfirmed.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the...
A terrifying and heart-palpitating energy fluctuation!
At the very least, it was a high-level Demon Clan!
Sally, keeping pace by Aster’s side, was filled with seriousness and nodded forcefully:
"Yes, master! Very clear!"
"It’s right in the area where the energy is most chaotic and powerful!"
"But..."
"This Divine Pattern feels as if it’s about to collapse..."
About to collapse?
Hearing this, Aster’s heart sank.
If this Divine Pattern vanished, it would mean all the power of the Chronospirit Clan would be wasted.
The Voranthos would have no chance for repair!
With that thought, Aster clenched his fists tightly.
No matter!
No matter who is ahead, he must get ahold of this Divine Pattern.
"Isabelle, Sally."
Aster’s voice was extremely serious.
"Prepare for combat at any moment!"
"If the situation changes, Isabelle, you attack, Sally, you fully assist and prepare to delay time, giving us an opportunity to retreat!"
"Remember, if it becomes impossible, prioritize your survival above all!"
"Understood!"
Upon hearing Aster’s command, the two beastbonds nodded almost simultaneously.
Then Aster hesitated no longer, bursting out with greater speed, heading toward the center covered in demonic qi.
However, when he reached the very center of this demonic qi...
The scene that entered his sight shook his soul!
It was a gigantic crater as if formed by a meteorite impact.
In the center of the pit, a massive and incredibly bizarre creature was struggling frantically!
It vaguely retained the outline of a Pyralia, but most of its body was corroded by the filthy demonic qi.
A strong yet chaotic aura continually leaked from its body!
"Master, the resonance I sensed is on her!"
Sally pointed at Iris Ashford, her voice filled with gravity.
Hearing this, Aster was alarmed in his heart.
Feeling the aura from Iris Ashford, nearing a breakthrough to the Totem Level.
He knew that acquiring the Divine Pattern this time...
Just got more difficult!
Alongside, Isabelle, after closely examining the creature in the pit, suddenly spoke with shock:
"This is... a Pyralia? One of the Supreme Beasts of the Alternate Space?!"
Hearing this, Aster’s pupils contracted.
Spirit Beast?
In future times...
There is no concept of Spirit Beasts, only Vicious Beasts.
Aster’s gaze instantly turned to Isabelle.
And Isabelle, without withholding, directly explained:
"In the Alternate Space, there are many races, and there are many Spirit Beasts."
"The only difference between these races and Spirit Beasts is..."
"All races have a unified path of cultivation!"
"They awaken domains, laws... but Spirit Beasts are different!"
"Spirit Beasts are born entirely by absorbing spiritual energy; they do not master any domain, law power."
"They are like children of the world, capable of infinite growth just by absorbing spiritual energy!"
Hearing this, Aster seemed to understand how the Vicious Beasts of future times came to be.
Spirit Beasts overly depend on spiritual energy.
And one major property of demonic qi is its ability to merge with spiritual energy, so as long as these Spirit Beasts absorb this corrupt power...
They become the Vicious Beasts of the future.
With this thought, Aster’s expression grew even heavier.
Just then, however.
A more terrifying pressure instantly engulfed him!
Aster’s soul body trembled abruptly, and almost instinctively, he moved his gaze with difficulty towards the sky on the other side of the crater.
There, a figure quietly hovered.
A presence beyond any describable existence.
It wasn’t gigantic, yet it seemed the center of the entire darkness, with even light unable to escape its grasp.
No energy escaped from its form, yet Aster felt as if his soul would freeze, shatter!
It was an absolute gap in life’s tiers!
Demon God Valley!
Though its form seemed to slightly differ from when he was on Dragon Island, that unmistakable demonic qi, Aster would never mistake!
"How could it be him?! Why is he here?!"
Aster’s heart surged with shock!
In front of Demon God Valley, even if he were in his prime state.
Having Lazuli, Vera, and other beastbonds at his side, there was no chance of victory.
And now, with only Monarch Level Isabelle and support-type Sally by his side, himself being a soul body...
Death is certain!
High above, Yuan’s indifferent gaze also fell upon Aster and his companions, Isabelle and Sally.
"A pure-blooded Dragon Clan hatchling? A... half-dead human soul with a peculiar status?"
"To have infiltrated the Demon Abyss to such a point, quite interesting."
His gaze lingered slightly on Isabelle.
Seemingly intrigued by the presence of a pure-blooded Dragon Clan here.
Hence, he did not rush to act, to crush these suddenly emerged insects!
This, indeed, gave Aster a breathing space.
He hadn’t expected his luck to be this bad.
The Divine Pattern of the Seasonal Clan was on a beast about to transform into a Vicious Beast, which was enough.
Now, one of the Ten Great Demon Gods of the Demon Abyss had appeared.
Sally’s face was just as heavy at this moment.
She leaned close to Aster’s ear, "Master, what do we do now?"
To be slain once by the Demon God...
She would require an enormous amount of energy to use the Time Law to resurrect Aster.
Because being slain by the Demon God means being obliterated from the level of rules.
To rescue.
One must stop the entire world’s time.
Then reconstruct using the Time Law to bring about resurrection.
But now...
The power left by the Chronospirit Clan, greatly depleted in rescuing Aster once before, was vanishing.
The remaining power must be used to open the Voranthos.
Now, if Aster died...
It would mean...
He would truly die!
Isabelle also sensed the aura on Yuan akin to that of her father.
God!
Both were in the realm of gods!
For enemies of this tier, Isabelle knew.
Even if Aster amplified the earlier imbued power by tenfold...
It would be impossible to match this Demon God.
He even suspected...
That even the life-saving means her father left behind might not be effective against this Demon God.
"H-Human, what do we do?"
Isabelle’s voice trembled slightly.
Hearing the inquiries from his two beastbonds, Aster was extremely anxious.
He frantically thought of a way to break the situation.
Employ soul-devouring, link, sovereign to enhance the state of the two beastbonds and fight this Demon God...
Impossible!
Completely not a match for this Demon God!
If so...
Then he could only gamble!
Aster’s gaze suddenly fixed on Iris Ashford.
If he could save this Spirit Beast.
Would it be capable of fighting the Demon God?
With that thought.
Aster immediately began to check Iris Ashford’s information.
