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

Chapter 1220 In the Ruins

I don't know how much time has passed...

The deafening explosions and roars of energy on the battlefield gradually subsided, leaving only scattered flames crackling among the ruins, as if playing the final notes of this fierce battle.

The smoke and dust, mixed with the strong smell of blood and malevolent energy, still lingered in the air, blurring the vision and making it difficult to breathe.

"Boom..."

A huge reinforced concrete block was suddenly pushed aside, and Ye Ge staggered out of the pile of rubble, covered in ashes and dust.

Beneath that boulder, a small triangular space was formed, sheltering Long Ying, Nangong Qiuyue, Li Shuying, Jiang Xiaoming, and several others.

"Crack..."

On the other side, Gao Shenxue helped Bai Qing, whose face was pale, while Xia Xiyao carefully supported Yu Li, who was almost exhausted from excessive soul power consumption. The group of them struggled to get out of the buried ruins.

Everyone looked disheveled, their clothes were torn, and they had varying degrees of abrasions and bruises, but fortunately, they all seemed to be just superficial injuries and not serious.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Ye Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is everyone? Is anyone seriously injured?" Ye Ge asked with concern as she looked at the group.

Blood was flowing from Long Ying's forehead.

Nangong Qiuyue sat on the ground, her face contorted in pain, her hands gripping one of her lower legs, which appeared to be broken.

Li Shuying's hair was disheveled as she clutched her dislocated arm.

Mu Jiannan, An Lingyue, Nangong Ru, and the others were also injured. Some were leaning against the broken wall, panting, while others were treating their wounds. Everyone looked somewhat disheveled.

"My whole body aches, every cell in my body aches... It feels like I overused my demonic energy... I guess not having the bloodline of an ancient race really makes a difference..."

Jiang Xiaoming looked pained, clutching his chest in distress: "But... I'm alright, I didn't suffer any serious internal injuries... don't worry too much about me..."

Night Song: "Okay, sure. But actually, I wasn't asking you."

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

"Phew... thankfully, Xiao Li provided us with a shield at the crucial moment."

Xia Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That really scared me to death... How could that person summon so many ghosts and gods all at once?"

"..."

Ye Ge remained silent.

"By the way, where are the enemies? Why did it suddenly become so quiet?" Nangong Ru asked breathlessly, looking around at her surroundings.

Although the smoke and dust around them had been dispersed somewhat by Ye Ge and the others pushing aside the boulders, the distance was still shrouded in thick smoke and a chilling aura, obstructing visibility. The once magnificent city walls and towers had long since been reduced to rubble, a scene of utter devastation.

Ye Ge glanced sideways at Gao Shenxue: "Xue'er."

"Mm." Gao Shenxue nodded gently, understanding.

She raised her hand, palm up, and with a slight spatial fluctuation, more than a dozen intricately designed mechanical drones, gleaming with metallic luster, were instantly summoned.

The drone quickly took off, and the complex matrix of runes engraved on its surface lit up one by one, emitting a soft energy halo.

Working together, they unleashed a wide-ranging dispelling spell, like an invisible breeze sweeping across the plains. Wherever they passed, the pervasive smoke and dust, as well as the lingering malevolent energy, were quickly purified and subsided.

The smoke of battle has been dissipated.

Only then did Ye Ge and the others get a clear view of the entire plain.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the ruins of buildings and scorched earth.

Countless corpses of generals and soldiers from various races lay scattered across the ruins, many half-buried, their forms varied and their deaths gruesome.

The volley of fire from those nine ferocious beasts and demons just now almost completely wiped the entire City of Evil and Darkness off the map, turning it to rubble!

The earth was riddled with massive, crisscrossing cracks, like ugly scars, their depths unfathomable. Several enormous craters, blasted open by terrifying energy, lay piles of charred, mangled limbs and severed bodies, their species indistinguishable...

However, at this moment, the nine-headed ferocious beast, as well as Sima Qing and Karl, had all disappeared.

The Fallen Angel Ye Bing, the Eastern Dragon King Ao Sheng, and the Western Dragon King Gul'sas hovered in the air, dodging the devastating attack from the ground.

"boom!"

A giant fist burst forth from beneath a pile of rubble! Immediately afterward, the colossal body of the giant father, Tal, slowly crawled out of the ground, his enormous hand casually patting away the thick layer of dust covering his body with a dull thud.

"Cough...cough cough..."

On the other side, Chi Ling struggled to push away the boulder that was pressing down on him and crawled out. Ignoring his own injuries, he immediately looked anxiously at his side: "Fei Yue!?"

Of the twenty-odd elite soldiers the Spirit Demon Clan had brought on this mission, almost all had been wiped out. Fei Yue lay in a pool of blood, her body covered in blood, her breath faint, almost a blood-soaked figure, her fate unknown.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and the others immediately went over. "Lord Ye Ge!" Chi Ling saw them as if they were her saviors.

Ye Ge raised her hand to indicate that he didn't need to say anything more, then squatted down and used the Heavenly Dao System to check her attribute panel.

"His health is less than 1% and still decreasing; he needs to be taken back for emergency treatment immediately..."

As Ye Ge spoke, he immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Copy Ability - Life Bathing Spirit!"

A vibrant green halo enveloped Fei Yue, temporarily stabilizing her rapidly fading life force.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ge quickly took out a special emergency medicine and precisely injected it into her carotid artery.

"My life should be temporarily saved. The Life Essence I copied is of the dark attribute, so its effect is not as good as the one Ye Zi cast."

Ye Ge turned her head and instructed, "Notify Ye Zi to prepare. Also, send some more people over; there should still be many people buried underneath."

"Yes!" Li Shuying responded, and then immediately began to make contact using the Deep Blue system.

Now that the illusion has been dispelled, the communication system has naturally been restored.

Not far away, Bingxin was also using divine magic to heal several people from various races.

The surviving few warriors from various races were also busy running around rescuing the wounded.

"Quickly, quickly, move him out!"

"Be careful."

"Hurry! Are there any healing or support-type superhumans here? There's a wounded person here who's about to die!"

"There are still some people here..."

"..."

The ancient demon king of the demon race, the werewolf duke Fenrir, and the vampire duke Nicholas all escaped from the burial site one after another.

Most of their men had now become cold corpses in the ruins, and several of them were no longer whole.

"Sigh, I never thought I'd be so unlucky." The Ancient Demon Lord was surrounded by demonic energy and was rapidly healing his injuries. "I thought this old man was just here to make up the numbers for the demon race, but I never expected to almost lose my life."

Fenrir gazed at the battlefield before him, remaining silent for a long time before finally saying, "Truly, terrifying power..."
