Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Meanwhile, the eastern, northern, and western parts of the Crimson Plains.

Gao Shenxue, Long Ying, and Ye Qingxin also unleashed their most aggressive skills at the same time.

“BOOM ...

Four attacks, each with a distinct nature but all containing the same destructive power, erupted simultaneously in the four corners of the Crimson Plain!

Four energy "mushroom clouds," each unique in shape yet astonishing in size, shot into the sky, shaking the earth!

Under the intense light and impact of the explosion's core, the surface rock layer covering the core collapsed and crumbled on a large scale, like a crisp biscuit!

As the topsoil erodes, the chilling scene beneath is revealed.

Countless densely packed, intertwined, writhing purple, bizarre venomous insects emerged from the ground! Their bodies were translucent, with eerie fluorescent purple fluid flowing through them, and their mouthparts constantly opened and closed, spewing out tiny particles that formed a strange mist.

These purple poisonous insects are the culprits that have shrouded this entire blood-red plain!

At this moment, with the foundation that held the formation destroyed, these poisonous insects instinctively wanted to escape.

"Crunch! Crunch, crunch, crunch—!!"

The swarm of insects surged, emitting a teeth-grinding, dense scrambling sound, as they tried to burrow deeper into the crevices of the soil and rocks.

However, the destructive forces of the ensuing explosion—high temperatures, turbulent energy flows, and spatial rifts—instantly engulfed the hundreds of millions of venomous insects shrouded in mist! Flames incinerated them, and the energy shockwaves pulverized them into dust, utterly annihilating them...

With the four core array eyes destroyed simultaneously, and the swarm of poisonous insects serving as the "living array base" eliminated, the eerie purple mist shrouding the blood-red plain seemed to lose its source of support, beginning to churn and fluctuate violently, before thinning and fading at a visible speed...

Like the receding tide, it slowly dissipated into the gradually clearing sunlight and air currents.

"..."

In the distant safe zone, numerous warriors of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Races witnessed this miraculous breach of the formation, their faces filled with shock and awe. Someone murmured, "My god...this power..."

"Have the strength of human powerhouses become so monstrous?"

"I always thought that Lord Nightsong was the only powerful figure among the human race..."

Nangong Qiuyue's eyes lit up: "Look, the purple mist has dissipated! We succeeded!"

However, Cang Feng frowned slightly, his sharp gaze fixed on a certain spot in the distance: "What is that?"

"Huh?" Nangong Qiuyue looked in the direction he was looking.

In the distance, from a certain direction in the forest, a soft yet magnificent golden light emanated from the depths of the earth.

The golden light spread across the sky, transforming into a dazzling and magnificent golden aurora, dyeing most of the sky a brilliant and radiant gold, like a spectacular and beautiful holy golden sunset.

......

To the east of the blood-red plain lies a desolate Gobi desert.

Gao Shenxue slowly descended from the low sky, and the energy field flowing around her quietly subsided.

"Truly worthy of being called Lady Gao Shenxue." Yao Yue said with a smile, "With just one strike, you directly destroyed the core of this ancient formation."

Gao Shenxue remained silent.

"Hey, look!" Lin Chishang exclaimed, gazing at the distant horizon, "That place is so beautiful..."

Leng Yuening, Xiao Yuxi, Yu Li, Yao Yue and the others all looked up and saw the magnificent golden aurora that illuminated half the sky. It appeared particularly abrupt and mysterious in the gradually clearing sky, like a strange sight crafted by nature's divine hand.

"What exactly is that?" Leng Yuening frowned slightly.

She knew it was definitely not a natural phenomenon.

"It's the Empress Dowager Mother Worm," Gao Shenxue's cool and calm voice rang out.

"The Empress Dowager Mother Insect?" Leng Yuening looked at her in confusion.

“The explosions from all sides just now not only destroyed the array's core, but also disrupted the energy network of the Zerg's underground hive,” Gao Shenxue said calmly. “This light was emitted by the Queen Mother Zerg in the hive trying to save herself. And unexpectedly, the Queen Mother Zerg stationed here is actually a Golden Queen Mother Zerg.”

......

"Golden Empress Dowager Worm?" Ye Yang crossed his arms, his thick eyebrows slightly raised. "What is that? Does it mean it's more advanced than a regular Empress Dowager Worm?"

Ye Qingxin's expression turned solemn as she slowly explained, "Yes, a Queen Mother Insect needs at least ten thousand years of cultivation to be called a Queen Mother Insect. As for a Golden Queen Mother Insect, it needs at least one hundred thousand years of cultivation!"

Ye Yang was stunned: "Huh?? Really? Holy crap..."

Generally speaking, the Zerg are a race with a shorter lifespan than the Terrans.

They've never even heard of the insectoid creatures that are 100,000 years old!

Are there really insects that can live that long?

Ye Mengyu tilted her head: "Brother Ye Yang, how come you don't even know this? When the family took the knowledge test for all races, did you copy your paper?"

Ye Yang: "..."

"The Golden Empress Mother Insect, which is 100,000 years old, has a reproductive capacity that is more than ten times that of an ordinary Empress Mother Insect," Ye Qingxin said. "Moreover, every part of its body is an absolute top-grade treasure. Whether it is its exoskeleton, eggs, cocoon, wing membrane, or inner core, they are all of the highest quality among golden-grade insects."

Ye Yulong snorted coldly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "I didn't expect the Zerg to have this trick up their sleeve."

......

"The Golden Empress Dowager, the worm...?"

Ye Ge stood still, her pupils clearly reflecting the magnificent golden aurora on the horizon, her mind racing with thoughts.

"Lord Nightsong!" Arthur rushed over, his face beaming with the exhilaration of victory and eager anticipation of the battle. He reported loudly, "The purple mist has completely dissipated! Our reconnaissance spells have successfully located the core area of ​​the underground insect hive, confirming the exact coordinates of the Golden Queen Mother and her main insectoid garrison! The morale of all the soldiers is high. With just your command, we can strike at the heart of the enemy and completely annihilate all the insectoid armies on the Crimson Plains! Please give the order!"

Xia Xiyao, Cang Feng, Nangong Qiuyue, Nangong Ru and others also gathered around.

They were already in a state of high alert, clearly ready to seize the opportunity and annihilate the powerful enemy in one fell swoop.

Clearly, they all believed that Nightsong would definitely order the attack to continue.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ge said, "No."

"Send the order: the entire army retreats and returns to Crimson Dragon City as quickly as possible!"

"?!?" Everyone looked surprised.

"Why is this?" Even Yan Ji was puzzled this time. "We went to great lengths and suffered heavy losses to finally break through this strange fog formation and dispel the purple mist. Wasn't it precisely to clear the obstacles, take down the Zerg mother nest in one fell swoop, and lay the foundation for victory in this battle? Now that victory is in sight, why are we suddenly withdrawing our troops?"

Ye Bing leaned against a giant tree, arms crossed, quietly watching Ye Ge, her icy blue eyes slightly narrowed.

"The situation has changed somewhat." Ye Ge paused. "In short, have the army withdraw from the Crimson Plains immediately!"

"...Yes!" Although Arthur was full of doubts, he had absolute obedience to Nightsong's orders. He slammed his fist on his breastplate, turned and strode away, loudly relaying the retreat order.
