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

[System: Warning! The mechanical core is being corroded by an unknown, irregular flame! Energy conductivity has decreased by 71%!]

[System: Critical Warning! The core structural integrity is about to fall below the critical threshold! Irreversible collapse is expected in 37 seconds!]

'not good......'

'At this rate, the Divine Abyss Mechs will all be rendered unusable...'

Karl acted decisively, shouting at Adam, "Disassemble the Divine Abyss Armor immediately!"

After saying that, he took the lead in removing his armor.

The silver-white nano-armor on the body surface turned into billions of silver light spots and scattered in all directions! At the moment of disintegration, the nano-units actively guided most of the holy flame attached to them to the outside of the body, and annihilated into the air along with the light spots.

Karl detached himself from the armored exoskeleton, his face slightly pale.

As if Ye Ge had anticipated his actions, he instantly appeared in front of him the moment his armor disintegrated!

A black light shot out from the Demon Slayer Blade in his hand, piercing directly into his chest and exiting from behind!

Karl's pupils constricted sharply: "Uh...!"

"Although I've never fought against your kind of Divine Abyss Armor Warriors," Ye Ge chuckled, "I know all too well the exoskeleton mechanisms of your demi-human race."

Karl looked down and saw that the longsword in Nightsinger's hand had pierced the weakest part of his demi-human exoskeleton armor after it had disintegrated.

Karl thought to himself, 'A miscalculation. I almost forgot, this Night Song was a true technical player in his previous life...'

Ye Ge gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, preparing to plunge it in another inch.

At that moment, Karl raised his hand and threw out a fist-sized metal sphere with gray lightning patterns flowing on its surface!

"Mechanical Technique - Wide-Area Ionized Death Fog!"

The metal sphere exploded in mid-air, instantly spreading a thick, dark gray fog that covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius!

The fog was so thick it seemed almost tangible; it wasn't composed of water molecules, but rather a cloud of countless high-density, suspended charged particles. Blinding purple electric snakes darted and leaped wildly within the fog, emitting a dense barrage of crackling sounds that sent chills down one's spine. The air was thick with the pungent smell of ozone and the burning odor of ionization.

Night Song was immediately forced back by this ionized fog.

He was very familiar with this specially made ionized fog. Conventional dispelling or purification spells, once they touched it, would trigger a chain reaction of ionization, leading to a more violent energy explosion, making it extremely difficult to dispel.

"Trying to escape under the cover of this ionized fog?"

Ye Ge was about to step forward to stop him again.

At that moment, a loud, deafening, and penetrating roar of wings suddenly came from his side and rear, tearing through the air without warning and attacking him fiercely!

Ye Ge instinctively dodged. A colossal shadow, as large as a mountain and flowing with a molten gold-like luster, swept past him with an aura of crushing everything in its path, right next to his dodge! The resulting wind pressure was as violent as a knife, and a few strands of hair fell down his cheek.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a gigantic mother worm burning with its life essence!

Its size was outrageously large, like a moving fortress. Its shape was bizarre, somewhat resembling a ladybug or a cricket, its entire body covered with a thick, wall-like golden carapace. The edges of the carapace were all sharp, serrated blades, and its countless segments were like the blades of a giant meat grinder. With each slight opening and closing, the air was cut with a hissing sound.

Its entire body was enveloped in thick, almost tangible flames of essence blood. This monster even had a crimson-gold color in the burning essence blood, and its boundless blood energy exuded a terrifying pressure that made one's soul tremble.

Wherever the giant mother worm burning with life essence flew, the bodies of all the human warriors were instantly cut into countless pieces!

It's practically a worm-shaped meat grinder!

Xia Xiyao dodged the giant insect's swooping cut, barely glancing at it, yet the sharp blades of its segmented limbs still managed to tear a gash in her chaotic energy outer layer!

"What kind of monster is that?" Xia Xiyao asked in surprise.

Gao Shenxue paused, observed for a while, and then said with certainty, "The Golden Empress Dowager Mother Worm."

Nangong Qiuyue was slightly taken aback, then turned her head and said, "That's the Golden Empress Dowager Mother Worm?"

Ye Ge's eyes suddenly lit up.

A golden queen worm that's been around for 100,000 years—that's a real treasure!

At this moment, the Blood Sacrifice Nest-Covering Array had reached its final stage. The world was shrouded in a suffocating crimson hue, and the deafening buzzing sound of countless insect wings rubbing together was deafening.

The crimson flames on the surface of the 100,000-year-old Golden Empress Mother Insect were also boiling and churning to their extreme, clearly preparing for the final, destructive self-destruction.

The afterglow of the night song swept across the room.

Under the cover of the ionized death fog and the Golden Queen Mother Worm, Karl and Adam disappeared into the stable, formed spatial portal.

However, after being hit by his Holy Spirit True Fire, their situation is probably similar to Sima Qing's. Even if their cores are not completely destroyed, they will definitely be severely damaged.

"Kaon---!!!!"

Just then, the Golden Empress Dowager Insect turned its massive body around again, its crimson-gold compound eyes locking onto Ye Ge. It let out a sharp, piercing screech, transforming into a golden-red streak of light as it charged towards him! Its limbs lashed out, the blades flashing fiercely, as if it wanted to shatter him and the space itself!

Ye Ge neither dodged nor evaded, his expression calm. He suddenly formed a hand seal with two fingers held in front of his chest: "Summoning Spell—"

A dark purple summoning circle appeared in the void behind him and quickly took shape.

However, the light of the magic array only flickered twice before it quickly dimmed, the energy lines that made up the array collapsed rapidly, and the array disappeared.

Ye Ge was slightly taken aback.

Unable to summon?

He immediately understood.

It was the Blood Sacrifice Nest Covering Array. The powerful energy of the array enveloped this land and disturbed the spatial magnetic field of this region.

The stable spatial coordinates and energy channels that ordinary spatial summoning and teleportation spells rely on have become extremely unstable under the current violent and chaotic spatial magnetic field disturbances, and spatial tunnels cannot even be formed.

In the cognitive system of extraordinary powers, spatial abilities are roughly divided into three levels.

Level 1: Spatial Cutting and Folding. Commonly seen among high-level spatial mages, it can create visible cracks in space or fold it over short distances. However, such disturbances are usually quickly repaired by the laws of the world, and the cracks disappear in an instant.

Tier 2: Summoning and Teleportation Arrays. This involves cross-space energy attraction or matter transfer, requiring precise and stable spatial coordinates and channels to maintain. Most spatial-type extraordinary beings in the mortal realm can only utilize this level of abilities.

This has nothing to do with cultivation level; even for a space-type extraordinary being at the Soul Emperor realm, it's basically the same.

Level 3: Steady-state spatial transition. This involves a deeper application of spatial rules and can, to some extent, resist external disturbances and maintain channel stability.

The high-tech mechanical space jump portal that Karl just used should belong to this category. It does not simply rely on magical coordinates, but also incorporates the unique "spatial phase stabilizer" and "dimensional buffer membrane" technology of the demi-human race, which can forcibly open up a temporary safe passage even in spatial turbulence.

Such a high-tech space portal could probably only be created by the technological level of the demi-human race.

At this moment, the violent fluctuations in the spatial magnetic field caused by the blood sacrifice array undoubtedly exerted a strong suppression and interference on the first and second level spatial abilities. This means that even if someone had set up a teleportation anchor point outside the Crimson Plains in advance, they would not be able to initiate a teleportation evacuation through conventional means.
