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

"Humph!"

Mo Nanxi snorted coldly, and just before the Crimson Lotus Demonic Flame and the Ice Feather Storm hit her body, she slammed the Pope's Scepter heavily into the void!

Her figure seemed to instantly merge into the overflowing purplish-black divine power mist, becoming ethereal and uncertain. In the next instant, like a strange mercury, she drew a tortuous trajectory in the air that defied the laws of physics, narrowly piercing through the deathly gap where ice and fire intertwined, and suddenly appeared in the sky above.

"Divine magic—"

She forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi and the strange sensations constantly attacking her body. The dark patterns in her blood-red eyes spun rapidly, attempting to regroup her divine power and unleash a powerful technique capable of turning the tide.

"I told you, I won't give you any more chances."

Night Song spoke calmly, raising two fingers: "Curse Seal - Enhance!"

He brought his two fingers together, and a dark red magical light flickered at the tips of his fingers.

"!!!"

Mo Nanxi's body trembled violently, and the divine light that had just shone in her eyes dissipated and vanished like a flame extinguished. The pain originating from the cursed seal, a mixture of burning and strange corrosive sensations, instantly intensified, causing her vision to go black for a moment, and her delicate body swayed uncontrollably in the air.

"Night Song!!! I will kill you!!!"

She let out another low growl, her voice filled not only with overwhelming rage but also with a slight sob and tremor caused by extreme restraint.

"..."

Ye Ge looked speechless: "The curse mark you planted on me, with its extremely cold and yin energy, makes me feel like I'm dying, but I'm fine. What a hypocrite..."

"A woman as unreasonable as you needs to be taught a lesson!"

Night Song's right hand fingers glowed black again: "Spell Seal - Enhancement!"

"Curse Seal - Double Enhancement!"

"Curse Seal - Fourfold Enhancement..."

Mo Nanxi was simultaneously facing attacks from Xia Xiyao, Ye Bing, and Yan Ji, while also enduring the torment of Ye Ge constantly strengthening the curse mark.

Inside her body, the continuously strengthened curse mark of Night Song erupted like a volcano, unleashing layers of violent torment! It was no longer just a burning pain, but also accompanied by an intense, mind-numbing physiological sensation that kept assaulting her willpower like a tidal wave.

Her delicate brows furrowed tightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly with pain, her beautiful face drained of color, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose, and her tightly clenched lips even turned a pale bluish-white. She struggled to maintain her posture in the air, but anyone could see that she was under immense pressure.

'This can't go on...'

Mo Nanxi's gaze swept rapidly across the battlefield below, and her heart sank even further.

The nine Yin dragons she summoned were completely overwhelmed by the ten suddenly appearing chaotic beasts, leaving them in a sorry state. Even the Yin priests she brought were finding themselves at a disadvantage in their battle against the allied forces of all races.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

At this moment, the sound of wind breaking rang out one after another, and several figures broke through the chaos of the battlefield and soared into this high-altitude battle zone.

The human race's Nangong Qiuyue, Nangong Ru, and Cang Feng; the spirit demon race's empress Su Yanling, and her two generals Chi Ling and Fei Yue; the fallen angel race's two guardians, Yue You and Hong Ri; and the succubus race's Liu Ying, all surrounded Mo Nanxi.

Mo Nanxi frowned slightly: 'How is that possible?'

Among the people she brought were several level eleven Yin Divine Arts Masters.

Even against an army of tens of thousands from countless races, they shouldn't have been defeated so quickly...

Aside from Ye Ge, the strength of the others was actually much greater than she had imagined!

At this moment, Mo Nanxi looked at Nangong Qiuyue and the others, her eyes flickering slightly.

She clearly sensed a powerful and pure force of faith emanating from these people!

The nature of that power... did not originate from any known god of light or spirit of nature, but rather from some kind of pure, dark magic!

Furthermore, the level of that faith power had reached the eleventh-level apostle!

What on earth is going on?!?

“Pope Mo, let’s stop here,” Ye Ge said. “I know that as an eleventh-level divine mage, you are capable of fighting against a million soldiers, but in the current situation, if we continue to drag this out, it will not benefit either of us.”

Mo Nanxi suppressed her surprise and doubt, sneered, and tried to maintain her momentum: "Are you scared?"

"You think I can't sense it? Your soul power is almost exhausted."

"As for Queen Ye Bing, she must have encountered some accident just now. Her level even dropped to the seventh stage of the Soul Emperor Realm, and she has not fully recovered yet."

Ye Ge shrugged: "That's right, that's correct."

“But if you continue to linger here with us, your ‘ally’ Sima Qing will take this opportunity to go to Crimson Dragon City, open the underground palace of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, and take away the Azure Dragon Treasure.”

Mo Nanxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

It turns out that Ye Ge already knew about Sima Qing's plan.

Ye Ge continued, "I knew all along that Sima Qing had the purpose of keeping our allied forces of all races here."

"The reason your Extreme Yin Sect agreed to help delay us here must be because you believe that opening the treasure of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations requires both the power of the Azure Dragon and the power of Extreme Yin. So you must think that even if Sima Qing finds the location of the treasure palace, you will eventually need to help open the door, right?"

Ye Ge paused, then smiled helplessly: "Unfortunately, you were fooled by him."

"...What?" A sharp glint flashed in Mo Nanxi's bloodshot eyes. "What do you mean?"

“The Gene Corporation has been conducting a secret biological experiment for a very long time,” Ye Ge said. “Over the years, they have been searching everywhere for descendants who still retain some of the bloodline of the ancient races and collecting the genes of various ancient races. This is not just to create batches of powerful demonized humans and beast cell-modified human warriors. The real purpose is this biological experiment. This is also the Gene Corporation’s top secret. Even many members of the board of directors of the company do not know about it.”

Mo Nanxi frowned: "What experiment?"

"Through the research and collection of genes from numerous ancient races, we conducted cell culture and fusion, and finally, through artificial embryo culture technology, we used cell cloning to cultivate an embryo of the strongest primordial divine beast from the ancient era." Ye Ge paused, then said slowly and deliberately, "One of the three primordial divine beasts, the Primordial Qilin."

"!!?!?"

Upon hearing this, not only did Mo Nanxi's expression change, but Ye Bing, Yan Ji, Su Yanling, Nangong Ru, Yue You, and the others beside her all showed expressions of disbelief and horror.

"Human...human creation of the Primordial Qilin???" Nangong Qiuyue was equally stunned.

I recognize each word in this sentence, but I can't understand them when they're put together...
