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

“So you should know best just how big the gap is between the power of demons and the power of humans,” Youren said.

"Yes, you're right, it is indeed quite large." Ye Ge said, glancing down at his watch. "If we calculate the difference, the time should be about right."

“?” You Ren frowned.

He didn't understand what Ye Ge meant by "it's almost time."

Night Song said, "I mean, your two companions who came with you should be almost finished by now."

Suddenly, the air behind Ye Ge began to distort, like ripples spreading across a calm surface of water.

A portal to another dimension suddenly appeared!

Seven people dressed in black robes and wearing masks walked out of the space.

One of the men, wearing a yellow mask and black robes, carried a huge red broadsword in one hand and a demon's corpse in the other, then threw the corpse in front of Youren like a dead dog.

The dead demon was none other than Blood Fiend!

Youren's expression changed instantly.

He had only parted ways with Xue Sha outside the Ye family manor a few minutes ago!

As a demon general at the peak of the Heavenly Revelation Realm, Xue Sha should be virtually invincible in human territory!

How could he have turned into a corpse in such a short time?!

"All you know is how great the power gap is between humans and demons."

Night Song then said leisurely, "But today I want to tell you that the difference between demons can sometimes be worlds apart."

Youren narrowed his eyes, staring at Yege, who was only at the Myriad Manifestations Realm: "The demon you're talking about is you?"

That's incredibly arrogant!

There was no response from Ye Ge.

He remained standing still, but the six men in black robes behind him suddenly attacked at the same time!

The yellow-masked man swung his wolf-master broadsword and leaped high into the air, bringing it down heavily to meet the attack.

The black-masked man and the white-masked man each held Shadow Moon and Light Seal, flanking from both sides;

The red-masked man moved swiftly, wielding a short sword and circling behind someone's back;

The blue-masked man and the purple-masked man simultaneously swung out a long, serrated chain sword from both sides, like two agile, intertwined water snakes!

The six people's attacks were almost perfectly synchronized, as coordinated as a precise machine!

"Zheng——!"

The incredibly piercing sound of weapons clashing rang out!

The sound was clearly unusual, sharper than the sound of any metal weapon clashing; it was a high-pitched, thin hum that was almost at the limit of biological hearing.

A dozen or so dark blue air blades instantly appeared in the air, like the air being torn apart and leaving behind smudges that lingered for a long time.

The six men in black robes retreated, each of them almost unsteady on their feet.

The weapons in their hands were all shrouded in a ghostly blue aura!

Ye Ge's eyes narrowed slightly.

The demon had transformed, its appearance completely changing from a near-human form to a demonic one. Its hands and arms had become two sharp, curved, dark blue blades, and its legs had become two sharp knives standing on the ground. Its skin and flesh had solidified into sharp armor, and every inch of its body had become a weapon like a blade.

Night Song thought that this guy looked a bit like a razor mantis covered in metal armor.

"I understand a little better now how Blood Fiend died."

Youren's face was devoid of features, and even his head had transformed into the shape of a bladed helmet. His tone was slow, and his voice was cold and humming: "Back then, you were able to kill Lai Chu because of these six subordinates, weren't you?"

"..." Ye Ge didn't speak, and the system panel appeared in front of her.

[A change in the target's body shape and physical attributes has been detected]

[Target Attributes: Attack Power +300%, Attack Speed ​​+300%, Casting Speed ​​+300%, Dexterity +300%, Gain 99% External Physical Damage Reduction, Gain 99% External Magical Damage Reduction, Gain 99% External True Damage Reduction, Gain 99% External Special Damage Reduction...]

[Status: Temporarily lost the ability to regenerate health per second and temporarily lost the ability to regenerate mana per second.]

"The Ghost Blade..."

Night Song recalled.

Images of the bosses I fought in games from my past life flashed through my mind...

After all, he had cultivated in the illusion for over a thousand years, and he needed to recall a lot of information from his previous life's game.

'It was him.'

'Another boss that appears ahead of schedule...'

The Ghost Blade, a boss in the game's storyline with a difficulty level equivalent to six stars, was originally supposed to appear after version 4.3.

Since Ye Ge arrived in this world, the butterfly effect he created has led to too many bosses appearing prematurely, so he's become used to it...

Since he knew everything about her, Ye Ge remained completely calm and composed.

He took a deep breath and quickly formed several hand seals.

Grasp the wrist of the other hand with one hand, and raise the palm of the other hand upwards.

Make a gesture to gather energy.

He mobilized all his soul power and concentrated it in his hand!

Meanwhile, Night Song used her mental will to control the seven black-robed figures to continue their attack.

This time, the old mage also joined the battle. He clasped his hands together and cast a spell: "Sixth-tier ability - Illusory Severance!"

"Crack!"

A long spatial rift cut through the air.

"Ding!"

Youren easily raised his scythe-shaped arm to block.

That spatial blade, powerful enough to slice through the air, was easily shattered by Youren's attack, as easily as a fragile mirror!

The other six men in black robes then followed suit.

Wielding divine weapons and sharp blades, they each unleashed their magic, engaging in battle with the demon generals of the Holy Realm!

"Zheng!"

"when!"

"Ding!"

The continuous, sharp, piercing, and slender sounds of clashing weapons echoed through the sky!

Even those outside the arena could clearly hear the terrifying sound coming from the sky above!

Many of the weaker servants in the Ye family even had blood seeping from their ear canals, and they painfully covered their ears.

The seven men in black robes worked together seamlessly, as if they were one. Under the control of Night Song, a master gamer, every move they made was executed with perfect precision.

The Ghost Blade is unpredictable and elusive, its figure flashing like a razor-sharp mantis. With each swing of its arm blade, distant buildings are sliced ​​in two from a distance.

The demon form of the Ghost Blade is a terrifying killing machine!

Once it starts to destroy, it's terrifying!

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged dozens of moves.

"Rumble, rumble..."

"Karakarakarakarakara......!!!"

The ground of the arena was cracked with canyon-like fissures.

The exquisitely carved stone pillars that once surrounded the arena collapsed one after another as the powerful warriors fought...

After the seven men in black robes used several life-saving spells, they retreated once again.

Youren's face darkened, thinking to himself, "Why do these guys seem to be deliberately stalling for time?"

Before long, several men in black robes attacked again.

"Fourth-tier superpower—Water Soul Ling!"

"Sixth-tier magic - Elemental Storm!"

"Seventh-tier martial skill - Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Slash!"

"..."

Various powerful spells were cast simultaneously.

Several extraordinary experts at the Heavenly Revelation Realm struck Youren in succession.

[Health value-1]

[Health value-1]

[Health value-1]

The Dark Blade remained completely unmoved.

He moved with the speed of a shadow, and the exoskeleton armor on his body changed color with his movements, sometimes turning dark blue, sometimes dark purple.

As he moved, he left trails of dark blue shadows behind him, moving at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to see.

In an instant, they appeared behind the black-robed man wearing a black mask.

"Shh-"

With a slash, those two arms, shaped like curved blades, drew a long, shadowy blade through the air!

The masked man raised his Shadow Moon Blade to block.

The enhanced Shadowmoon, at level 15, barely managed to block an attack from the Saintly Realm Demon General!

"Ding!"

But the masked man still retreated several steps.

The two curved blades of the Ghost Blade, resembling the arms of a mantis, slashed out in a cross shape.

It was just a slash in front of him, but the Shadow Blade instantly appeared more than ten meters away, striking the purple-masked man's body from a distance!

"Pfft-"

The purple-masked man's body was instantly cleaved in two from his shoulder to his abdomen!

The Ghost Blade teleported again.

It's also incredibly fast.

This time, they came behind the blue-masked man, and with a "whoosh," the sharp, curved blade pierced through his back and emerged from his chest! It went straight through his body!

In the blink of an eye, he killed two black-robed men at the Heavenly Revelation Realm!

"..."

Ye Ge stood at the very back, still as immovable as a mountain, maintaining his posture of gathering energy.

"Celestial Technique - Eclipse Holy Thunder!"

"Sorcery - Demonic Spirit Fire!"

A ball of golden lightning and a ball of deep red holy soul flame simultaneously condensed in the center of his palm!

Two orbs of energy of different colors swirled around each other and eventually slowly merged together.

At the moment of fusion, a dazzling light was released from the palm of Night Song!

Crimson flames enveloped golden lightning, the crackling sounds gradually subsided, and the unstable energy stabilized in Night Song's hands.

'Thankfully, this fusion didn't explode directly...' Ye Ge thought to himself.

Last time, when he tried to merge in the flesh and blood wall space of the leper, he directly blew up the abdomen of the Saint Realm expert.

He was genuinely a little afraid that he might accidentally blow up the Ye family manor...

Fortunately, his judgment was correct.

After more than 1,400 years of cultivation and a significant increase in mental strength, Ye Ge was finally able to control the combined power of these two forces.

The ball of lightning and fire in the Night Singer's palm gradually grew larger.

However, after magnifying it to a certain extent, Night Song then compressed it to the extreme.

so cycle.

In the end, Night Song kept the fireball compressed to the size of a ping-pong ball.

[Gathering energy...]

[Power: +15, +20w, +15w...]

[Gathering energy...]

[Power: +15, +20w, +15w...]

At this moment, Youren finally sensed the energy that was constantly gathering and immediately turned to look at Yege.

This kid...

Gathering energy?

Once upon a time, a famous top-level mage among all races said a famous saying: "A mage with high enough talent can gather energy indefinitely. If he is given infinite mana and infinite time to gather energy, he can unleash a fireball spell that can devour the entire Blue Star!"

Although this statement was made by a famous archmage, it is practically impossible to use in actual combat. First of all, a mage who can infinitely gather mana would have to have at least an SSS-level magical talent. Secondly, every second in a battle can determine life or death, and where would you get so much mana to gather mana?

Even if you manage to gather it, you'll consume all your soul power and immediately fall into a weakened state. Once your ultimate move misses, you'll be essentially a cripple.

However, these problems no longer seem to apply to Ye Ge.

"Buzz..."

"Buzzing..."

"Buzzing..."

As the energy gathered by Night Song grew stronger and stronger.

The fireball in his hand was still the size of a ping-pong ball, but its color had completely turned into a pure, deep black!

The surface of the dark sphere trembled slightly, and its interior seemed to be surging with terrifying power!

As Ye Ge gathered his energy, a dazzling golden halo surrounded his body!

Spiritual and demonic power swirled around him like a whirlwind!

"!?"

Youren's expression changed.

He had no idea what Ye Ge was trying to do.

But he had a very strong premonition.

We have to stop this kid!

Otherwise, there will definitely be very serious consequences!

"Shh-"

Youren suddenly charged towards Yege, his curved blade drawing a deep, cold light!

To everyone's surprise, when Ye Ge saw him rushing over, she smiled knowingly.

The ghostly blade pierced through Ye Ge's body, but Ye Ge's body turned into a strange and ethereal black mist with a "poof," disappearing into the air along with the cawing of crows!

Immediately afterwards, Night Song's figure appeared behind Ghost Blade in an instant, as the black mist condensed.

Holding a black ball compressed sixteen times in his right palm, he suddenly pressed it against Youren's back from behind!

The lightning ball passed through the protective exoskeleton on the body surface without any hindrance by conducting electricity and entered the body of the Ghost Blade!

"Celestial Technique - Holy Lightning-Induced Flame Burst!"

Night Song is very clear.

The exoskeleton armor worn by the Ghost Blade after entering its complete demon form provides 99% damage reduction against all external attacks.

However, this was achieved at the cost of sacrificing all the magic power within his body; in his demon form, Ghost Blade consumes a large amount of magic power every second.

His external defenses were strengthened, but his internal defenses became incredibly weak! Without the protection of magic, his internal organs were as fragile as those of an ordinary living being!

Youren's eyes widened.

He looked incredulous.

He saw the small ball that had condensed in the Night Singer's mouth gently enter his body like water.

Then, after a few seconds of silence, it exploded inside his body like a nuclear explosion!

.......

I'll be taking a break on August 4th. I'm experiencing severe writer's block and need to work on the outline.
