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

The moment Night Song burst forth from his body, the void exploded with spiderweb-like cracks.

A black pillar of light, imbued with the power of gods and demons, pierced the sky, tearing the Thunder Prison Barrier that shrouded the rift valley into pieces.

Countless points of soul light, like a meteor shower, gushed out from the white tiger's skeleton. The metallic luster in Yueyou and the others' eyes gradually faded, replaced by a long-lost clarity.

The white tiger skeleton let out a dying wail, its glowing tentacles clinging to its ribs twitching wildly. The stark white bones crumbled in the ghostly blue soul fire, collapsing layer by layer like melting icebergs. The electromagnetic field enveloping the rift valley dissipated like the receding tide, and long-absent starlight pierced the eternal night.

"Xiao Ye!" Xia Xiyao stared blankly at the figure soaring into the sky, a look of surprise on her face.

Night Song flew in the air and glanced at the situation below.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao were alright.

He then raised two fingers: "Dark Feather Heavenly Burial, Corridor of the Dead!"

The air suddenly stagnated.

A large amount of black mist surged out from behind him, and thousands of crows flew out from the black mist, circling in the air like a dark storm covering the earth. The sound of their wings rubbing together was like rusty iron blades scraping against glass, and the sharp cries of the crows echoed in the sky.

Just as Yueyou and the others regained consciousness, they saw a sky full of crows swooping down on them, blotting out the sun.

"Retreat! Form ranks!"

Hundreds of fallen angel warriors were forced to retreat by the crows, forming a battle formation to deal with the swarming crows.

Night Song landed lightly in front of Gao Shenxue and the others.

"Waaah, Xiao Ye, I'm so glad you're alright..." Xia Xiyao sobbed, "I thought you were dead..."

Ye Ge ruffled her hair: "How could that be?" Then she looked at the others: "Is everyone alright?"

Gao Shenxue said, "Apart from me and Yao Yao, everyone else was injured to varying degrees, and their soul power was almost exhausted, basically at its limit."

Ye Ge checked everyone's status panel using the system, and his expression turned serious. Apart from Xue'er and Yao Yao, it was already quite good that the others could stay awake given their status panel attributes.

"It's good that you came out." Cang Feng looked at Ye Ge and asked, "Where's the White Tiger? Did you awaken it?"

Ye Ge shook his head.

"No?" Cang Feng was stunned.

"There was a slight mishap. I'll explain it to you when we get back," Ye Ge said.

Cang Feng nodded: "Hmm..." Then he looked at the enemies in the White Tiger Bone Ruins with a serious expression and said: "What do we do now? We basically have no fighting power left."

Suddenly, Yueyou took flight, her fallen angel wings whipping up a foul wind that scattered the flock of crows.

"Night Song!" She raised the Black Angel Knight's sword, its blade reflecting Night Song's calm profile. "Where have you taken our queen?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ge raised her head: "Your own queen has run away, and you're asking me? How would I know?"

"Stop pretending." Yue You squinted her eyes.

Although their souls had just been extracted, she still retained the memories of her original body, so she was very clear about what had happened after she was controlled.

Yueyou knew that the Queen had entered the body of the White Tiger's undead along with him.

But now that Night Song has appeared, the Queen is nowhere to be found.

Given the Queen's strength, she shouldn't be able to lose to Night Song.

Perhaps something beyond our control has happened.

"You'd better tell me the truth and tell me what really happened to the Queen." Yueyou's eyes were as cold as ice.

Ye Ge smiled and said, "What if I don't tell you?"

Yueyou's eyes narrowed: "Then don't blame me for being impolite."

"Hehehehehe..." The demon Rakshasa let out a sinister laugh, his scarlet tongue licking his fangs: "There was no need to be polite to them in the first place. Now, apart from Ye Ge, the rest of these people are exhausted. Let's just take care of them directly."

As if in response to his words, the remaining demon warriors surged forward again; the fallen angel warriors in the sky raised their swords in unison, the hum of the blades like a metallic rainstorm; behind them, thousands of insectoid soldiers emerged from the cracks in the ground, the scraping sound of their carapaces making one's teeth ache.

Yu Li looked up at the sky: "There are more in the sky!"

Ye Ge also looked up.

A metallic, tearing hum echoed from the dome as at least three hundred Black Angel warships materialized from the ionized clouds and appeared above them!

These advanced warships of the Fallen Angel race had surfaces that shimmered with a liquid metallic sheen, and the blue-violet flames spewing from their ion engines left honeycomb-like scorch marks on the clouds. The particle cannon arrays rotating on the bellies of each warship resembled mechanical compound eyes, with blue-violet ion streams condensing into blinding orbs at the muzzles, scorching the thick clouds with honeycomb-like charred marks.

The magnetic field of Thunder Rift Valley has disappeared, allowing high-tech warships like the Black Angel to approach the area.

"No way? There's more?" Jiang Xiaoming's face turned pale instantly. "It's over... we're really done for..."

Yueyou said coldly, "Yege, I'm giving you one last chance."

Ye Ge laughed.

Are you sure it's really you who's giving me this chance?

Yueyou opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Before she could finish speaking, a red laser beam shone on her forehead.

That's the aiming laser of the Soul Energy Sniper Rifle!

There is more than just this one laser beam.

Hundreds of targeting lasers appeared on both sides of the rift, each laser locking onto a dark race warrior in the White Tiger Bone Ruins, each laser representing a sniper!

"click"

Ye Qingxin lay prone on one end of the cliff in the rift valley, pulled back the bolt, and the sniper rifle emitted the hum of a gene weapon charging up.

"Swish, swish, swish -"

Then, hundreds of elite Ye family assassins suddenly appeared from nowhere and landed next to Ye Ge and the others.

Ye Yulong, Ye Mengyu, Ye Yang, and others led a group of well-trained Ye family warriors out.

"Hehe, that Thunder Prison Barrier was really annoying. It kept us outside and we couldn't get in no matter what we did."

As Ye Yulong spoke, he slowly walked over with a cold smile, looking at the group of people from the gene company.

"Roar--!!!"

"Hiss..."

Then came another series of ferocious roars, like those of ancient beasts.

A sickening, grinding sound of carapaces emanated from the cracks in the ground as countless alien demons tore through the rock layers!

Dark Star Reapers pierced the void, their scythe-like forelimbs tearing through space with a crisp, shattering sound; the Demon Flame Wolves surged forth, treading on boiling lava, each step leaving burning claw marks on the rocky ground, the stench of sulfur mingling with the stench of burning flesh instantly filling the battlefield; Hellish Mammoths raised their tusks, unleashing infrasonic roars, their backs spewing demonic fire, the lava patterns on their skin suddenly gleaming; Shadow Crawlers slid down cliffs, their viscous, thread-like bodies carving spark-filled furrows into the granite...

Various kinds of demonic creatures appeared on both sides of the rift: Darkin Raiders, Darkstar Reapers, Shadow Creepers, Demontooth Beasts, Demonfire Wolves, Hell Giants... There were at least thousands of them at a glance!

The dark race warriors, now surrounded, cried out in alarm and immediately became alert.

"What kind of monsters are these??"

"They are warriors of the demon race..."

"A demon?? I've never seen a demon warrior like this before..."

"Why are demon warriors here???"

"..."

Yueyou frowned when she saw the Dark Star Reapers: "They're the Demonic Mantises that attacked the Black Angel before..."

She looked up at Ye Ge with disbelief.

They were actually his soldiers?!
