God of Pets-Chapter 399: Frenzied Level-Up

The Peach Blossom Immortal Robe on Jin Taohua and the Peach Blossom Sword in her hand suddenly ignited, and soon the flames engulfed Jin Taohua completely.

The Peach Blossom Immortal Robe and Sword, consumed by fire, did not turn into ashes but transformed into petals, drifting with the wind towards the approaching Secret Treasure Array.

Chen Guan watched as the blizzard-like petals landed on each of the Secret Treasures.

The next second, Chen Guan witnessed a terrifying scene.

The Secret Treasures tainted with petals instantly shattered and disintegrated, fragmenting into smithereens.

In an instant, Secret Treasures were breaking apart incessantly, as if fireworks were exploding, leaving Chen Guan completely dumbfounded.

"What the hell... It’s so powerful..." Chen Guan was both startled and delighted.

Jin Taohua’s strength had exceeded his understanding.

"No wonder... no wonder she’s called the number one Female Demon in the world..." Chen Guan marveled internally as he watched the Secret Treasures explode across the sky.

Although he knew that wielding such power must come at a great cost for Jin Taohua, otherwise she wouldn’t have waited until now to use it.

Even so, it did not detract from the incredibility of this strike.

Seeing tens of thousands of Secret Treasures of the Nine Heavens Resentment Array almost entirely shattered under the blizzard-like petals in the blink of an eye, the three Demon brothers were frightened out of their wits.

But they had no time for anger, not even enough time to retrieve the Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure Resentment Demon Hooks, as all three quickly flew back in retreat.

But the snow of petals had already fallen, sweeping over the heavens like a blizzard, preventing them from escaping its reach in time.

Boom!

Explosions resounded ceaselessly.

When the Immortal Robe and Peach Blossom Sword on Jin Taohua had burned out, the mask on her face had also disappeared.

Reverting to the form of a purple-armored witch, Jin Taohua’s body could no longer maintain flight and uncontrollably plummeted towards the Cloud Sea.

Chen Guan hurriedly flew over and caught the falling Jin Taohua in his arms, seeing that she was utterly exhausted, as soft as cotton, with barely any strength left. She seemed barely conscious, her eyelids drooping powerlessly, as if half-awake and half-dreaming.

Chen Guan was about to check on Jin Taohua’s condition, but suddenly saw a silver light piercing through the falling Secret Treasure fragments in the sky.

It turned out to be a demon, all wounds, missing both legs and an arm.

Chen Guan turned his head to see. He didn’t know whether the demon was Feng Baicheng, Feng Qiancheng, or Feng Wancheng. At this moment, the demon was covered in blood, resembling a bloodied figure, holding a broken Resentment Demon Hook and using all his strength to deliver a final blow.

The Feng family brothers, defeated by Jin Taohua who shattered the Nine Heavens Resentment Array and destroyed all the Secret Treasures, had lost two brothers, leaving only this one with a crippled body.

Chen Guan’s body’s level and capabilities were too poor. Although he wanted to dodge as he saw the demon rushing over, his body couldn’t move in time.

The demon charged from behind, and the broken hook in his hand stabbed directly into Chen Guan’s body.

The explosive blood erupted, and a layer of blood-colored mist, like smoke or fog, enveloped Chen Guan. The Blood Burst Divine Skill of the Blood Bull surprisingly took effect, forming a layer of blood energy to protect Chen Guan’s body automatically.

Yet, unfortunately, the Blood Burst Divine Skill could not completely block the demon’s last attack.

The broken hook still pierced through Chen Guan’s body, but because of the obstruction from the Blood Burst Divine Skill, it did not continue through to the Jin Taohua in his arms, only penetrating her armor, inflicting a slight injury.

The pain helped clear Jin Taohua’s foggy mind, and she forcefully gathered her strength to slap the demon that had almost crashed into Chen Guan’s back, sending the near-dead demon flying away.

Countless Blood Spirits instantly swarmed the demon, quickly devouring him amidst his screams.

"Puh!" Jin Taohua coughed up fresh blood.

She ignored the blood at the corner of her mouth, focusing instead on Chen Guan’s injury.

The broken Resentment Demon Hook was still lodged in Chen Guan’s body.

Jin Taohua reached out to knock away the broken hook, but Chen Guan stopped her.

"Don’t move... there’s no time..." Chen Guan held Jin Taohua tightly as he flew towards a protrusion in the Cloud Sea.

It was a mountain peak’s summit, appearing like a solitary island amidst the Cloud Sea.

Chen Guan reached the summit, slowly sitting down, but didn’t release Jin Taohua in his arms. He merely smiled at her and said, "I have to leave now... Thank you for your care during this time... from now on, you have to take care of yourself..."

"With me here... you won’t die..." Jin Taohua struggled to stand but felt powerless all over, unable to break free from Chen Guan’s arms.

She didn’t want Chen Guan to die. In her view, it was Chen Guan who took the fatal blow for her, and she wanted to save his life.

"Death may just be another beginning... perhaps we’ll meet again someday..." Chen Guan still smiled as he spoke.

He was genuinely happy because he could feel that as his body’s energy rapidly dissipated, he was vaguely sensing his connection to the flesh.

"There’s no such thing as an afterlife in this world... I only ask for this life..." Jin Taohua misunderstood, believing Chen Guan was speaking of meeting again in the next life.

Chen Guan didn’t clarify because he wasn’t sure if he would return to Cangwu Grotto Heaven.

Under normal circumstances, he would have to go to the Celestial Court Army’s Grotto Heaven for his Fourth Awakening.

And due to Jin Taohua’s identity, she could almost never leave Cangwu Grotto Heaven, making it very uncertain whether they would have a chance to meet again in the future.

"In this life and the next... you don’t need to care... you are you... the one and only Jin Taohua... no matter where you are... you are the most beautiful scenery in this world... you don’t need to change for anyone... including me..." Chen Guan spoke, only feeling the energy rapidly draining from his body, reaching its limit.

Jin Taohua stared blankly at Chen Guan. As she snapped back to reality and wanted to say something, Chen Guan’s body suddenly scattered like flying ashes, turning into a sky full of blood dust and dissipating into the void.

"Guan Guan..." Jin Taohua reached out, trying to grasp something, but ultimately caught nothing.

...

Chen Guan abruptly sat up in bed, immediately feeling the immense and boundless energy rushing within his body, spreading swiftly like a ferocious flood beast.

Chen Guan quickly activated the Secret Technique of One, absorbing the energy swiftly.

Yet there was still a massive amount of energy that couldn’t be absorbed in time, spilling out from Chen Guan’s body, forming a blood-colored mist rising from every pore on his body.

Chen Guan gritted his teeth, frantically operating the Secret Technique of One, trying to retain as much of the energy as possible.

Upon returning to his own body, he brought back some energy. Although only a part, this energy was still not to be underestimated.

Chen Guan’s level quickly broke through... Level 18... Level 19... Level 20...

The energy he brought back propelled him directly to the peak of the Second Awakening, and the energy still hadn’t been fully absorbed, but since he could no longer level up, the remaining Primordial Energy had to be expelled from his body eventually.

The entire room was filled with blood mist.
