"Buzz—!!!"

Suspended in mid-air, Lilith’s tightly shut eyelids trembled violently.

The blood-red column piercing the sky had not dissipated.

Instead, it collapsed inward, condensed, layer upon layer, casting over her body.

Her body began emitting dense sounds akin to jade shattering yet resembling something new-born crackling.

The Snow Maiden had long retreated to the distance, standing with Zane Drake, Elara Crimson, and others, watching this scene in shock.

Isabelle and Iris Ashford also glanced over, feeling it.

This Blood Clan, under Aster Grant’s feedback, seemed to undergo some strange transformation.

But what the specific change was, they couldn’t articulate.

Aster Grant stood at the forefront, divine perception fully opened to feel the transformation within Lilith’s body.

At the core of Lilith’s heart.

At the core of Blood Clan power, a drop of dark golden origin blood was burning with unprecedented brightness!

This drop of origin blood was the proof of Lilith possessing the supreme bloodline.

Yet at this moment, it began to swell, deform, and its internal structure was shattered, reassembled!

Around the origin blood, innumerable fine threads furiously spread.

Instantly covering every inch of Lilith’s bones, every strand of muscle, every cell!

These threads greedily absorbed the divine energy feedback from Aster Grant’s divine body.

Ultimately, under the catalysis of this power, Lilith’s bloodline began its evolution.

Mythical Six Stars!

Mythical Seven Stars!

...

"Boom—!!!"

Finally, suddenly stepped into Mythical Nine Stars!

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color!

The blood-red light column enveloping Lilith exploded.

It transformed into billions of crystal-clear, blood-red crystal petals carved like rubies, falling down, vanishing into nothing before touching the ground.

Suspended in the air, Lilith finally slowly opened her eyes.

Her pupils were no longer the common blood-red or dark-gold, but deep as the purest obsidian.

Her appearance didn’t change much, each line perfect to the point of breathtaking.

Her skin was as white as jade, yet faintly exuding a layer of healthy blood-red glow.

Her silver long hair grew longer, reaching her ankles.

The greatest change was in the bat wings behind her.

No longer mere leathery bone wings, but transformed into three pairs!

The aura around her stabilized completely at the peak of Totem Ninth Tier, only a step away from becoming a Pseudo-God.

She slightly lowered her head, looking at her long and perfect hands.

Dark red blood power coiled around her fingertips, as if substantial.

Within that blood power, there was faintly a trait of divinity from Aster Grant’s divine power hidden!

This was due to some wondrous change between divine energy and the blood covenant.

Allowing her to mobilize a portion of this power that originally didn’t belong to her.

The Snow Maiden stared at Lilith, as if reborn, as if walking out of a myth, opening her mouth, and after a long pause, squeezed out a sentence:

"... You, you’re already... Totem Ninth Tier?"

Lilith did not answer the Snow Maiden first.

Her gaze slowly fell on Aster Grant.

Their eyes met.

The air was infused with an indescribable complex atmosphere.

Aster Grant looked at the thoroughly transformed Progenitor of Blood before him, emotions surged within.

However...

As long as she’s awake!

And Lilith slowly descended to the ground, her three pairs of wings retracted into her body.

She walked before Aster Grant, slightly tilting her head upwards.

Those profound eyes, like a starry night, gazed at Aster Grant, red lips slightly parted, her voice ethereal and with a peculiar magnetism:

"Contract!"

Her tone was calm, not revealing much emotion.

But Aster Grant could feel, beneath that calm, waves were surging.

Upon hearing this, Aster Grant was taken aback.

Immediately, he couldn’t hold back and chuckled wryly.

Nonetheless, Lilith had been with him for so long; it was indeed time to form a contract!

"Alright!"

Hearing this, a momentary shine seemed to pass through the dark red stardust in Lilith’s eyes.

She spoke no more, simply raising her right hand, gently drawing her fingertip across her left palm.

A fine yet profound blood mark emerged, yet no blood flowed.

The next second, a drop of ancestor origin blood, dense like the purest ruby, seemingly containing swirling nebulae within, slowly seeped from the wound, levitating above her palm.

The moment this drop appeared, the surrounding space seemed to slightly sink.

The air turned viscous, rich life force mixed with a trace of ancestral majesty, spreading with an overwhelming energy aura.

At Lilith’s level, ordinary Beast Taming Contracts were essentially ineffective for her.

Therefore, Lilith directly mobilized her most vital origin blood.

Aster Grant had to form a contract on the origin blood to thoroughly connect him with Lilith.

At this moment, Aster Grant restrained his smile, his expression turning solemn.

He likewise raised his right hand, mind focused.

A golden contract array appeared slowly at his fingertip.

Then, he pushed the contract array into the blood in Lilith’s hand.

"Buzz—!!"

At the moment of contact, the golden contract array promptly merged into Lilith’s origin blood.

As the fluctuating contract formed spread soundlessly.

It meant that Lilith had completely become Aster Grant’s Beastbond.

...

Deep within the Demon Domain.

This place was once covered by eternal darkness, also the most densely concentrated spot of demonic aura within the Demon Domain.

Only now...

Countless demons slowly raised their heads.

Above was Pyralia.

Lazuli and Vera had entirely cleared the demonic aura from the core region of the Demon Domain.

Numerous high demons dwelling here roared in fear and fury.

And at the center of this group of demons.

Yuan fixedly stared at Pyralia in the sky, fury steadily accumulating in his chest.

"Such... a familiar aura!"

He clearly sensed Aster Grant’s aura.

The human who survived his attack.

Not only did that ant survive but within this short span of time.

He had grown to be nearly equal to him.

Moreover...

He even sensed a feeling from this human’s aura he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

This feeling...

Called death!

He slowly turned to look at another nine demon gates.

During this time, he had been striving to open these few demon gates.

By now, these few demon gates were nearly ninety percent opened.

Just a little more time needed, and they could be completely opened, plunging the entire world into chaos.

Just, at this critical juncture...

An ant dared to launch an attack on the Demon Domain.

According to the safest plan, he should continue to endure, restraining his power.

Waiting for all demon gates to open completely, then with an overwhelming force and qualitative superiority to crush all resistance, including this unexpected rise.

But...

"How can I endure an ant?"

Passive endurance itself is an insult to the dignity of a Demon God!

"All demons, heed the command!"

Yuan’s voice echoed in the minds of all demons.

"Raise your claws and fangs..."

"Defend the dignity of the Demon Clan!"

...
