CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 268: DEAD END!

But the bone demon gave Gu Xing no chance to think.

With the powerful attributes of the second totem transformation, he almost instantly bypassed Lilith and appeared not far in front of Gu Xing.

The best way to deal with a beastmaster is to bypass his guardian beasts and solve the beastmaster himself.

As a top demon in the Demon Abyss, how could he not understand such a simple truth?!

As long as he kills this human, then even if the remaining guardian beasts are strong...

Their power would be significantly weakened!

Although he currently held the advantage, he still chose the most prudent approach.

Lord Demon God’s plan doesn’t allow for the slightest mishap!

He couldn’t take risks, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of letting this human escape, it would be an irretrievable failure.

At this moment.

Gu Xing watched as the bone demon suddenly appeared not far from him.

A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

Too strong!

The power of this bone demon completely surpassed that of his guardian beasts.

Even though Liu Li could now use the power of the Divine Pattern, she still didn’t stand a chance against this bone demon.

Not to mention the other guardian beasts!

Lilith was now the only one able to contend with this bone demon.

However, to contend and to defeat are two different concepts.

From the moment Lilith’s Blood Domain was shattered easily by this bone demon, Gu Xing could tell...

The strength of this bone demon was much more than just a bit stronger than Lilith.

But Lilith’s Divine Pattern control was high, so although she was not a match for this bone demon, it was not easy for him to kill Lilith either.

The only thing he didn’t expect was...

This bone demon would be so decisive and choose to attack him.

This situation caught him off guard.

For a long time, under the protection of powerful guardian beasts like Liu Li, it was as hard as reaching for the sky for enemies to get close, let alone directly threaten him.

But...

Today was vastly different.

This bone demon...

His power far exceeded his guardian beasts, and they simply didn’t have the strength to stop him.

"Master, beware!"

Fei Yue, who was beside Gu Xing, saw the bone demon approaching and immediately unleashed the purple Void Power.

She wanted to escape with Gu Xing immediately.

However, the bone demon just let out a disdainful sneer and lightly clenched his white bony hand.

"Buzz!"

The surrounding space instantly froze, and the dense demonic Qi formed an absolute blockade, severing Fei Yue’s connection with the Void!

Reaching Totem Level allows manipulation of a space through laws.

Although the demon race cannot use laws, their use of demonic Qi has the same effect.

Fei Yue’s face turned pale; this was the first time she encountered an enemy who could completely suppress the Void Power.

Gu Xing decisively withdrew Fei Yue into his Beast Taming Space.

It was not the time for bravado; staying would only endanger the girl.

And the bone demon, seeing Gu Xing’s action, made no move to stop him.

Although the guardian beast also possessed a Divine Pattern, as long as the beastmaster was controlled...

The guardian beasts would comply and hand over the Divine Pattern.

"Human, think carefully, you are still young and have a great future ahead of you."

"What a pity it would be to die here!"

"Join the demon race, I promise you and that War Angel will receive far different treatment."

"Even I can be your subordinate!"

"By then, with Lord Demon God’s support and my assistance, you could not only rule this Alternate Space but also surpass the totem limit and reach the legendary... Pseudo-God Realm."

The bone demon looked at Gu Xing, his tone full of temptation.

He believed no one could resist such a temptation.

After all, the highest level that can be reached in this Alternate Space is just the ninth Totem level.

Without external help, breaking through the Totem Level and advancing further is impossible!

But...

This demon race underestimated Gu Xing.

Although he wasn’t an indigenous person of this world, the various experiences he had gone through during this period...

had already made him consider himself a part of this world.

All races avoided letting the Divine Pattern fall into the hands of the demon race. If he were to join them and give it away...

Not to mention others, even he himself couldn’t forgive such an act.

However, the bone demon mentioned something beyond the totem...

Gu Xing took the opportunity to ask his inner doubts.

"If I join the demon race, how can you guarantee that I could surpass the demon race?"

He now had a good grasp of the entire Alternate Space.

Except for the most mysterious Time Spirit Race and Dragon Race.

He had already been in contact with the other top races.

As far as he knew, almost no race had produced an existence beyond the totem level.

According to the bone demon’s words, it seemed that the demon race had a method to help them break the shackles and reach beyond the Totem Realm.

"Or put it another way, how do you demons plan to help me break through to the Pseudo-God Realm?"

Upon hearing Gu Xing’s question, the bone demon instinctively wanted to answer:

"As long as you can become..."

But halfway through the sentence, it stopped abruptly.

The bone demon’s soul fire suddenly flickered violently, and the white jawbone made a harsh grinding sound.

He realized he almost divulged one of the core secrets of the demon race...

The method to break through the totem limit is a top secret unknown even to many high-level demons!

"Cunning human..."

The bone demon’s voice suddenly turned cold as the demonic Qi surged wildly around him.

He regretted this human’s talent and thus wanted to persuade him to join Lord Demon God.

But this human did not appreciate the favor!

A terrifying demonic Qi condensed into a jet-black vortex between his bone claws, distorting and shattering space under this force.

Since this human chose a dead-end road, he didn’t mind sending him on his way.

However, just as the bone demon was about to strike, Lilith’s blood-colored domain suddenly contracted!

Taking advantage of the precious time Gu Xing gained, she had compressed the Blood Law to its limit.

The Blood Domain that initially permeated the battlefield now transformed into a blood-colored crystal ball just large enough to envelop the bone demon.

"Law compression?!"

For the first time, surprise tinged the bone demon’s voice.

The smaller the area affected by the law, the stronger the power it could unleash.

To compress the domain to this extent meant that this blood race’s grasp of the law had reached the level of the second totem transformation.

Under Lilith’s control, the compressed Blood Law completely enveloped the bone demon’s figure.

But no trace of joy appeared on Lilith’s face.

She could clearly feel that even with such efforts, it could only hold the opponent for a brief moment!

As expected.

"An ant’s struggle!"

As the bone demon’s voice echoed from within the Blood Domain...

A frenzy of black demonic Qi corroded the blood-colored barrier, causing the crystalline surface to expand violently, with countless cracks spreading like a web—

"Boom!!!"

In the deafening explosion, the blood-colored crystal ball shattered!

Amidst the scattering blood light, the bone demon’s figure reemerged.

Now, he was covered in a jet-black Demon Armor, with solidified demonic Qi burning like black flames!

The flickering soul fire in his eye sockets locked onto Lilith:

"I underestimated you... but unfortunately, you’re still too weak!"

...
