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

Bai Xueling transformed into a catgirl.

She rushed forward in a panic, but the black hole had already closed completely, and Night Song and the Dark Dragon had vanished without a trace.

The catgirl frowned, closed her eyes, and tried to use the telepathic connection between the beast tamer and her spirit pet to determine the other's location.

'It's completely ineffective...'

Bai Xueling bit her lip, looked around, and called out, "Hey! Ye Ge! Where are you?!"

"..."

......

Ye Ge looked at the dark and gloomy underworld he was in.

There was a strange substance in the air around me.

This substance should not belong to any of the substances that Yege recognizes in this world.

It's neither a solid nor a gas; it's somewhat like a liquid and also somewhat like plasma.

Ye Ge could reach out and sense the special substances in the air, and he could also feel that these strange substances were trying to erode his body and absorb the life force within him.

The five black-robed clones were also enveloped by this domain.

Night Song could also sense that his five clones were having their life force drained by the strange things in the surrounding environment.

On the system panel before them, the health and energy bars of the five black-robed clones were rapidly draining away...

"Ok?"

However, Ye Ge suddenly discovered that through the Heavenly Dao System, he had scanned several health bars around him.

How can a blood bar be scanned even when there is no one around?

Is it haunted?

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes and selected the health bars on the panel.

[Unit: Ghostly Lesser Nether Dragon]

[Level: None]

【Race:?】

【HP: 1000/1000】

【MP: 0/0】

[Description: A special type of creature that lives in the Netherworld Sea. Its form can change between a Netherworld body and liquid, and it feeds on the primordial energy of living beings.]

I see......

Although invisible, these things were gnawing at his and his five clones' bodies, consuming their life energy.

However, these things are almost invisible. Their existence can only be judged by the level of turbidity in the air. If you reach out and touch them, you can only feel a liquid-like texture in the air. What should you do?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ge decided that she could only try using the Demonic Spirit Fire.

The demonic fire would burn away any solid object it touched until it vaporized, but these things in front of us were clearly not solid, and we didn't know if they would be of any use.

Give it a try.

"Snapped!"

Ye Ge clasped his hands together and summoned the demonic fire from the thousand-year-old spirit and holy soul within his body.

Deep red, scorching demonic flames emerged from his body, enveloping his entire form.

boom!

Soon his entire body burst into flames as if it were exploding.

It looked as if a nine-tailed fox was wearing a fiery coat, and you could vaguely see nine fiery tails rising behind it.

This method worked! You could faintly hear the splattering sound of oil splashing in the air, like oil splattering in a wok, and at the same time, it emitted a strange smell, like burnt leather.

The strange creatures hidden in the surrounding environment finally revealed some of their outlines. They looked like faceless, formless dragon-shaped ghosts with small wings flapping on their backs and bodies that resembled strangely flowing liquid.

Ye Ge raised his hand and used his burning flames to grab the little Nether Dragon by the neck, then twisted it out and devoured it with demonic fire!

"Shh shh shh shh..."

The nearby dragon-shaped monsters retreated, emitting piercing and eerie cries.

Night Song raised his hand again and released demonic fire.

One after another, the fiery foxes pounced out, creating a wondrous spectacle of flames floating and burning in the air.

However......

Ye Ge frowned slightly.

He soon discovered that the released Holy Soul Demon Fire was gradually shrinking in the air.

It was as if I had been eaten by a strange monster in the air.

These monsters can actually devour the Demonic Spirit Fire!?

Do not......

It's not that we ate it...

In Ye Ge's mental vision, he could see that the bodies of those little Nether Dragons seemed to be canceling each other out with the Demonic Spirit Fire.

As they "devour" the demonic fire, their own bodies gradually shrink.

It's somewhat like the collision of fire and water. While water can extinguish flames, in the process, some of its own water is also vaporized...

It turned out to be the case.

Presumably, this is how the Nether Dragon escaped the invasion of the Demonic Spirit Fire.

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

The dragon's laughter rang out.

His figure gradually transformed from a transparent, ghostly state into a physical form, appearing before Ye Ge.

At this moment, the Nether Dragon appeared to have entered the second stage. Its clothes had been burned away by the demonic fire, revealing many characteristics of the Western Dragon Clan. Its body was covered by a layer of dragon bone armor, its arms had become longer, and its hands, which were originally similar to human hands, had become long-fingered dragon claws. The dragon horns on its head had also become longer, and a pair of dragon wings were fully exposed on its back.

"I didn't expect you to be so resourceful," said the Dark Dragon. "For a lowly race like humans, you're actually quite strong."

Ye Ge looked around: "Is this your domain space?"

"Although it still feels like a dark attribute domain, it shouldn't be a skill of the demon race or the dragon race. Netherworld Body... a creature between the soul and a being of the material world... I've never seen such a being before."

"You guessed right." The Dark Dragon slightly raised his chin, and said with a very arrogant and disdainful expression, "This is the ability that comes after 'Breaking the Bloodline Barrier'."

"Bloodline barrier broken?" Ye Ge raised an eyebrow.

Among all races, most choose to marry within their own race in order to ensure the purity of their offspring's bloodline.

Because children born to people of the same race are unlikely to inherit their parents' strong genes, as long as the parents are strong enough, the children's strength will not be too bad.

However, if the child is of mixed race, such as a demon father and a vampire mother, there is a high probability that the child will have a weakened superhuman gene. The child's ability ceiling will probably be less than 25% of the average of the parents.

If a dark race and a light race intermarry, the potential of their offspring may be even lower.

However, as mentioned earlier, this kind of gene weakening is highly probable, although there are exceptions.

There is less than a 1% chance that a half-breed child born from two different races will experience a 'bloodline breakthrough,' a special genetic mutation that combines the characteristics of both bloodlines to create a unique and powerful special bloodline ability! This allows them to gain potential talents far exceeding those of both parents combined!

Ye Ge thought to herself, "It seems that the Nether Dragon is one of those rare 1%."
