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

【Didi......】

At that moment, a system message sounded.

Sima Qing's expression shifted slightly, and with a thought, he summoned the system interface that only he could see.

It was a communication request from Carl.

Is there any news so soon?

Could it be that Ye Ge recklessly broke into the Purple Mist Formation, and Ye Bing and the others have already succeeded?

Sima Qing answered the call.

A semi-transparent projection panel appeared in front of him, and Karl's face appeared on the projection screen.

"What is it?" Sima Qing asked.

“Chairman,” Carl said, “the situation seems to be a little different from what was expected.”

Sima Qing raised an eyebrow: "What?"

Karl replied, "Am is dead. The eerie fog formation on the Crimson Plains has been broken by Nightsong."

Sima Qing's eyes flashed with surprise: "What??"

"Explain clearly, what happened? How did Amu die?"

Karl said with a hint of helplessness, "With Amu's abilities, even if he couldn't win, he should have been able to escape unscathed... But it seems he later used that half-finished 'Dark Primordial Blood,' probably because he couldn't wait to show others his medical skills... As a result, he lost control of his mind and was obviously devoured by the Dark Primordial Blood, and was eventually killed by the Demon Lord Cain."

Sima Qing asked in confusion, "Demon Lord Cain? He's also in the Crimson Plains?"

“Yes,” Carl said, “but he’s left now, supposedly to find someone.”

Sima Qing: "Who?"

Carl: "Jiang Xiaoming."

Sima Qing: "...? Who is Jiang Xiaoming?"

“One of Ye Ge’s subordinates… or as you might recall, the ferocious beast Zhu Yan resided within him. The company even sent Xingminglong to capture him, though they ultimately failed,” Karl said. “However, I’m not entirely sure why Kahn took Jiang Xiaoming away. Perhaps it was for the Zhu Yan within him?”

"..."

Sima Qing's eyes were very gloomy.

He didn't seem to care much about Kahn and Jiang Xiaoming.

Although the orc doctor Am is somewhat eccentric in his daily life, he is undoubtedly the company's chief genetic scientist and a rare genius that the company has discovered in many years.

The embryo is not yet fully developed. His death will definitely have a significant impact on the company's plan to revive the demonized Qilin.

“That crazy, mentally unstable orc is indeed difficult to control…” Sima Qing paused, “Then, how did the Mysterious Mist Formation get broken?”

Karl said, "He and his men destroyed all five key points of the formation, so the formation was naturally broken."

Sima Qing frowned slightly: "In addition to the array eye in the central area, the array eyes in the four corners of the east, west, south, and north need to be destroyed simultaneously in order to break the array."

"Communication is impossible within the mysterious fog array, so how could he possibly destroy four array eyes in different directions simultaneously?"

"Well... I'm not sure either," Karl said. "In any case, Night Song and the others have indeed broken the Misty Mist Formation. The Golden Queen Mother Insect also exposed her position in order to save herself. The Allied Forces of the Myriad Races, which were originally observing outside the Crimson Plains, have now all marched towards the Crimson Plains. It seems they intend to break through the Insect Nest in one fell swoop."

"What about Leonardo, Liu Ying, Leona, Huanmeng, Ji Cangyuan, and the others? Have they all been defeated? And Ye Bing, hasn't she found an opportunity to make a move against Ye Ge yet?"

"Ji Cangyuan and Huanmeng have both been defeated, but Ji Cangyuan has been found by my subordinates and taken into custody as you instructed. Leonardo and Leona have both been captured by Yege. As for Queen Yebing and Empress Liuying..."

Carl paused for a moment at this point: "It seems that the two of them have betrayed the company. Moreover, they may have already switched sides to Night Song."

"What?" Sima Qing was even more shocked, his pupils suddenly shrinking: "As members of the company's board of directors, both of them have a soul contract with the company and are restricted by the power of the Heavenly Dao. They should know very well the consequences of betraying the company. How could they possibly have the guts to betray the company?"

“But they do seem to have betrayed us,” Karl said. “Moreover, they seem to have been punished by the company contract, but their level has not dropped to the Yellow Realm. It seems that some force has suppressed the punishment of the Heavenly Dao power in the contract. At present, they have only dropped a little level and are slowly recovering.”

Sima Qing: "You've suppressed the Heavenly Dao's backlash against the contract?... "

Only the power of the Heavenly Dao can suppress the punishment imposed by the company's contractual Heavenly Dao.

However, according to intelligence, Gao Shenxue and Yege should have split up...

Could it be that......

Besides Gao Shenxue being able to use technology to create the power of the Heavenly Dao, does Yege himself also possess the power of the Heavenly Dao?

No, that's impossible.

The power of Heaven's Way is far beyond what a mortal like Ye Ge can control.

But how do you explain that Ye Bing and Liu Ying were able to suppress the Heavenly Punishment of the Contract?

And why would Ye Bing turn against Ye Ge? Aren't they enemies?

For a moment, a jumble of questions swirled in Sima Qing's mind...

"Well--!!!"

However, at this moment, deep within Sima Qing's soul, that burning, soul-tearing pain suddenly recurred!

A burning sensation, as if from the deepest hell, suddenly surged up, directly scorching and tearing apart the very essence of his soul! A pain a thousand times more intense than being torn apart instantly swept over every inch of Sima Qing's consciousness!

"Chairman!" Zhu Yu, who was flying beside him, saw Sima Qing's condition and quickly asked, "Are you alright?"

Sima Qing suddenly trembled violently. His usually deep and calm eyes were instantly filled with terrifying bloodshot veins, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands gripped his head tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. A low, suppressed growl of pain, like that of a wild beast, escaped his throat.

"Uhhh-!!!"

"Ugh—! Ughh ...

A piercing scream shattered the silence of the forest, its intensity a chilling display of pain and madness.

"..."

On the other end of the projection screen, Karl watched this scene silently. Sima Qing's face, contorted with pain, was magnified on the screen, but Karl's eyes remained calm and unwavering, his mind silent:

'It seems... the intervals between attacks are getting shorter and shorter, and the duration and intensity of the pain are also increasing.'

At this moment, Sima Qing had completely lost his usual composure and rationality, and was being swallowed up by the violent pain churning deep in his soul.

"boom!!!"

Without warning, a terrifying soul force, mixed with violence, chaos, and destruction, erupted from Sima Qing's body like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years! Dark red to black energy ripples exploded wildly in all directions from him in a spherical shape!

Zhu Yu was startled and quickly said, "Everyone, scatter!"

After saying that, Zhu Yu, Lin Ye, Su You, Hei Jian, Zhi Ling, Wu Yikun, and several other genetically modified individuals quickly dispersed, fearing they would be affected.

“Ah ...

Sima Qing completely lost his rationality at this moment.

His eyes were bloodshot, and several faint, ferocious beast phantoms swirled around his body—these were ancient ferocious souls that had been forcibly sealed within him and were now agitated and backfiring due to the weakness of their host's soul!

He kept unleashing attacks haphazardly.

The chaotic yet terrifyingly powerful soul force shockwaves shot out in all directions!

In just a few breaths, the dense forest where everyone had just been was completely flattened by the violent and unparalleled power, turning into a ruin full of scorched earth, broken trees and pits, like a disaster site ravaged by a giant beast!

Lin Ye, keeping a safe distance, thought to himself: 'Sima Qing currently has three twelfth-tier ferocious beasts and six eleventh-tier ferocious beasts sealed within his body. It seems that with half of his soul burned away by Ye Ge, he is increasingly unable to suppress these ancient monsters...'
