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

"Crackling... crackling crackling... crackling crackling—"

A series of eerie sounds, so dense they sent chills down one's spine, like the rubbing of millions of carapaces and the high-frequency vibration of wings, came from the distant horizon like a rising tide...

Countless insectoids, their life essence consumed, flew into the sky from all directions, covering the entire sky and even almost obscuring the sun, forming a terrifying blood-red canopy.

"What's going on?" Adam raised his silver-gray eyebrows slightly, his gaze sweeping over the blood-red sky that blotted out the heavens.

Seeing this, Karl turned to look at the Dream Butterfly not far away, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Blood Sacrifice Nest Overturning Array was activated by the chairman. This was our original final plan... It seems that Pope Mo Nanxi's side did not succeed in holding back Night Song and the others."

Upon hearing this, Adam grinned, a mixture of mockery and amusement in his eyes: "Your chairman is truly ruthless and unscrupulous, even resorting to such an ancient forbidden technique. Heh heh... You finally managed to control the Zerg Empress and the entire Zerg race, and now you're just using it like a self-destructing nuclear bomb?"

Karl calmly said, "The main force of the Allied Forces is almost entirely trapped in this blood-red plain. If we can annihilate their core fighting force and all the Soul Emperor level experts of the myriad races at this cost, it might be worthwhile from a strategic perspective. In any case, this place will cease to exist after the great formation is activated. The target has been captured, and we must evacuate immediately."

"Hmm." Adam nodded in response, saying no more, and slowly raised his mechanical right arm, which gleamed with a cold metallic luster, his palm pointing towards the dark blue cube-shaped sea prison that imprisoned Gao Shenxue not far away.

"Darkborn Immortal Technique - Holy and Demonic Twin Dragons Soar!"

Just then, a clear and sharp shout pierced the air!

Following closely behind were two mighty dragon roars that made the space itself tremble and hum!

"hold head high--!"

Adam and Carl both turned around abruptly at the same time.

Two dragons, one blue and one black, formed from condensed energy, roared and charged toward them, tearing through the air with completely different yet equally powerful auras!

The azure dragon was surrounded by holy light, filled with an inexhaustible and righteous aura; the black dragon, on the other hand, was engulfed in demonic flames, exuding a deep darkness that could devour all things!

A cold glint flashed in Adam's eyes, and just as the two dragons were about to strike, he casually swung his mechanical arm to the side.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two muffled thuds sounded almost simultaneously. The two menacing energy dragons, as if they had crashed into a fragile glass barrier, exploded in mid-air, turning into countless scattered points of light and demonic energy that quickly dissolved into the air.

Karl stared intently.

Five beautiful figures—Leng Yuning, Xiao Yuxi, Yu Li, Lin Chishang, and Yao Yue—broke through the blockade of the battlefield below and rose into the air to confront them.

The five women were surrounded by pure and uniform black and red magical flames, and the pressure of being an eleventh-level apostle was released without any concealment. Their fighting spirit was high, and their eyes were fixed on Adam and Karl.

Karl still wore that impeccable smile, his tone a mixture of praise and admiration: "To be able to break through the defenses of several of our generals... that's rather surprising."

"Do not interfere with the two lords!"

Below, a dozen elite warriors of the demi-human race, as well as several high-ranking commanders of the insectoid and sea races, roared and soared into the sky upon seeing this, attempting to intercept them, arriving late.

Yu Li reacted extremely quickly, her hands already forming complex hand seals, and the tip of the mysterious staff floating behind her shone brightly.

"Dark Magic - Netherworld Light Severing Boundary - Forbidden!"

In an instant, more than a dozen pitch-black, indistinct spherical light shields appeared out of thin air, precisely enveloping each enemy general who attempted to take off to intercept them!

Those light shields were like protective shields, but they also possessed powerful spatial confinement and energy isolation barriers. No matter how the generals inside unleashed their soul power attacks, the light shields only rippled slightly and could not be broken through in a short time.

Seeing this, Adam's interest deepened in his silver-gray pupils: "It seems our feeling was right. The women around Nightsong do indeed possess genuine eleventh-level Apostle-level dark magic. Interesting."

Carl said, "Looks like we're going to waste some more time."

“It’s alright, it won’t cost much.” Adam cracked his neck, making a slight “click” sound, and a cruel, predatory grin spread across his face. “Perfect, let’s take these ‘extra samples’ back with us. I’m very curious about them… and the ‘Source of Faith’ behind them.”

"..."

Leng Yuening, Xiao Yuxi, Yu Li, Lin Chishang, and Yao Yue exchanged glances and communicated via telepathic communication:

“We are no match for these two demi-humans. We need to find a way to break the huge sea prison spell and release Xue’er.”

"Does anyone among us have the skill to break this kind of water-based magic?"

"Let me try it."

Lin Chishang volunteered.

Yao Yue looked at her in confusion: "You? Aren't you a fire-attribute superhuman?"

Lin Chishang glanced at her: "Are you underestimating the power of the Holy Spirit True Fire?"

Yao Yue was taken aback: "Holy Spirit True Fire? You can do that too?"

Lin Chishang pouted: "Of course! I am a true descendant of the Phoenix Clan! The Holy Spirit True Fire can burn away all laws and ignite all things, even the vast ocean can be dried up! Although the Holy Spirit True Fire I unleash is certainly not as powerful as Lord Yege's, it is still effective."

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you.” Leng Yuening said calmly, “The rest of you are responsible for holding off Ji Cangyuan, Huanmeng Caidie, Karl, and that white-haired demi-human strongman.”

All the women: "Okay."

Adam looked at Leng Yuening and the others, and his mocking voice rang out clearly: "You want to use the Holy Spirit True Fire to evaporate the water vapor of the Sea Prison Technique to help Number 3 escape, while the rest of you are responsible for delaying us, right?"

"!" Leng Yuening, Yu Li, and the others were shocked, their faces showing undisguised astonishment. They didn't know how Adam knew the contents of their secret telepathic communication.

“I didn’t hear what you were saying, but I could tell from your formation, the way you were chanting, and the mudras you were making.”

Adam crossed his arms and explained leisurely, his tone as if he were teaching a novice, and said with an arrogant expression, "Experienced warriors can see through the opponent's tactics at a glance. But you little girls, your tactical intentions are too obvious."

Carl smiled helplessly.

This guy's occupational hazard as a drill instructor is kicking in again...

“However, you don’t need to bother.” Adam said, slowly raising his mechanical hand: “Because with your strength, I can take care of the people responsible for delaying me in ten seconds.”

"..."

A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over Leng Yuening, Xiao Yuxi, Yu Li, and Yao Yue.

'This demi-human... such a powerful sense of oppression...' Cold sweat beaded on Leng Yue Ning's forehead: 'Just who is he?'
