My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 753 - 393: Little Nian Beast vs. Lin Xingshi, Zhou Jiuya, Demon Arrival Night

"The Bronze Formation was broken so easily... then come on, beast!"

Zhou Jiuya frowned deeply and lowered his face, silently mouthing.

In an instant, he unfurled the five-meter-long Qingming River Painting in front of him. It was like bullfighting, with the matador waving a red cloth before the enraged Mad Bull, waiting for it to charge.

The graceful scroll curled in mid-air, forming a circle that wrapped around Zhou Jiuya, ensuring that the Little Nian Beast wouldn't suddenly change its attack direction.

But the Little Nian Beast, upon seeing the bustling street scene in the painting, suddenly halted its charge. Its paws braced against the ground, kicking up a tide of dirt before it twisted in mid-air like a cannonball, darting sideways.

"Running?"

Zhou Jiuya's expression turned grim.

"Boom... boom——!"

Tens of thousands of bronze pillars crashed down from the sky like a rainstorm but couldn't stop the Little Nian Beast's forward momentum—the dark purple flame pillar seemed unstoppable, smashing through the pillars falling head-on, charging straight towards the world's edge!

"Roar——!"

Suddenly, the crimson Lion Shadow, into which Lin Xingshi had transformed, roared and pursued the Little Nian Beast.

On the wilderness, with every step the Lion Shadow took, a curtain of flames erupted from its four paws, scorching the earth black. Even the damp air was evaporated, turning into wisps of white steam spiraling around it.

But even at full speed, she couldn't match the Little Nian Beast's velocity.

"Wait a moment, Little Nian's target is..." Lin Xingshi's expression shifted as she suddenly realized something.

She quickly lifted her gaze, looking ahead to see a dark crown standing alone in the wild, radiating an eerie and sinister dark glow in the night.

—Indeed, the Little Nian Beast's goal wasn't to escape but to seize the "Demon Crown" that Lin Xingshi had just thrown to the ground!

The Little Nian Beast had already lost its reason due to "Demon Arrival", but it could feel the demonic aura emanating from the Demon Crown, an irresistible temptation.

At this moment, with only two seconds left in the "Demon Arrival" state, the Little Nian Beast burned through the greenery of the mountains and wilderness, launching itself before the crown, then bent down and grabbed the Demon Crown in its paw.

Immediately, it placed it on its head.

"Oh no..." Lin Xingshi looked on in shock, almost speaking without sound.

Upon wearing the Demon Crown, the Demon Flame shrouding the Little Nian Beast's body suddenly vanished. The deep red in its eyes receded instantly, replaced by nothingness, and a menacing dark purple re-emerged from that void.

Next, the white and purple interwoven exoskeleton protruded from its body with a "kakaka" sound, covering its entire form, including its cheeks.

In that instant, with one second left in the "Demon Arrival" state, and the Little Nian Beast wearing the Demon Crown, the overwhelming pressure surged again.

It felt completely invigorated, as if a whale returned from the dry land to the ocean, jubilant.

In that seemingly endless second, the Little Nian Beast slowly turned its head back, locking eyes with the crimson Lion Shadow in pursuit. In an instant, it casually swung a claw forward.

At that very moment, the Demon Flame, which had withdrawn into its body, erupted from the Little Nian Beast's claw and fangs, like a deluge, engulfing everything. In a blink, Lin Xingshi's Lion Shadow was utterly consumed by the fierce Demon Flame, as if sinking into a sea.

"Boom——!!!"

Her figure was blasted a thousand meters backward, shattering every inch of the ground along the way, devoured by the dark purple flames. Finally, the fiery Lion Shadow crashed into the city wall, piercing right through it!

The ruins collapsed with a roar, burying the dim Lion Shadow shortly after.

"Old Lion!" Zhou Jiuya was startled, then swiftly rushed over.

Lin Xingshi's long braid came undone, her fiery red hair spreading out behind her. She collapsed amidst the ruins, her face pale.

"Can you stand?" Zhou Jiuya bent down and asked.

"Yeah, I can manage..."

Lin Xingshi rasped, spitting out blood, then raised her hand to wipe her lips, her diminished Lion Shadow clearing the ruins of the city wall, turning them into scattering embers.

She exerted great effort to gradually stand up, gazing at the formidable figure in the distance.

In that second, the Little Nian Beast's eyes suddenly regained their original color.

As the dark purple in its eyes faded, a prompt appeared before it. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

[Prompt: "Demon Arrival" form has reached its maximum duration.]

It immediately emerged from the "Demon Arrival" state, regaining its senses and returning under Ji Minghuan's control.

However, the Demon Crown remained on its head, so the layer of "exoskeleton" still existed, albeit constricting slightly inward, thinning a few layers, seemingly not as indestructible.

"That was close... Fortunately, even in the Demon Arrival state, I can hint at actions, or I'd really be trapped in the Qingming River Painting."

The Little Nian Beast muttered silently, raising its brows and glancing around with clear eyes.

"My old man and elder brother are still nearby. The White Crow Travel Brigade, on one hand, may not act. On the other, the Demon side has been utterly defeated; plus, they saw Bai Tanlang being rescued, so they won't bring members here. Urushibara Osamu probably will choose another day to find an opportunity," the Little Nian Beast thought. "I must retreat immediately; staying any longer offers no chance of victory."

Realizing this, the Little Nian Beast knew waiting for the brigade was impossible, so it didn't linger in battle.
