Military district, conference room!

"Ye Qiu!"

"Ye Qiu, don't!"

Seeing it was Ye Qiu's turn, all the leaders shouted anxiously.

They were even more heartbroken!

Especially Fei Ming, who roared with all his might!

He knew, at this moment, Ye Qiu had to do it, but Ye Qiu was a soldier he had brought up, so he had his selfish motives!

"Ye Qiu, you're the last one, there's not much Black Matter left, you won't die, absolutely not!"

Fei Ming trembled all over, silently cursing himself.

Even though he had already guessed what would happen next, he couldn't stop deceiving himself, praying for a miracle!

Inside the laboratory!

"Ye Qiu!"

"King!"

Lin Haode, the assistants, and the two remaining soldiers stared fixedly at Ye Qiu.

Their hearts were wrenching, their eyes full of despair!

"Ye Qiu, come back, come back!" Bai Lan finally couldn't hold back, crying out!

Her cries reached Ye Qiu's ears.

Ye Qiu felt a stab in his heart, his body trembled slightly, but in the next second, he held the steel ball even tighter!

Zszszs---zszszs---

Streams of black air surged out like raging waves, ravaging Ye Qiu's body!

Soon, his entire body was covered in hideous wounds!

He was the last container!

And indeed, there was not much Black Matter left in the steel ball!

But at this moment, the Black Matter became even more violent!

Ye Qiu's wounds were deeper than any of the previous soldiers!

Even through the gaping wounds, you could clearly see the white bones!

Horrifying!

Blood stained his body, piercing everyone's heart.

Ye Qiu remained calm, speechless.

At this moment, he discarded all distractions, fully absorbing the Black Matter from the steel ball!

At this moment, he had only one thought!

The remaining Black Matter must be fully absorbed!

He couldn't let his brothers sacrifice in vain!

Meanwhile, outside the laboratory, in the dark bushes.

A pair of eyes suddenly emerged.

In the next moment, a light of surprise burst from those eyes!

"What's going on?"

The just-arrived Netherworld stared fixedly at the laboratory, not understanding why with Ye Qiu around, the Black Matter was still leaking, and Ye Qiu was personally absorbing it.

"Forget it!" Netherworld shook his head, too lazy to think further, his eyes filled with an even greater excitement, "Haha! Hahaha! Unbelievable, even the Demon King Ye Qiu has his day!

Demon King, oh Demon King, your death is finally here, even you can't withstand that Black Matter, you're doomed to die!"

Netherworld quivered with excitement, taking a long time to calm down, holding his breath, continuing to hide, ready to act at the right moment!

In the laboratory!

The Black Matter in the steel ball was getting less and less, but the less Black Matter there was, the more violent its power became!

Even the Demon King Ye Qiu had reached his limit!

Feeling the rapidly waning vitality within, Ye Qiu's expression grew more complex.

He was reluctant!

Reluctant to leave Bai Lan!

Reluctant to leave Lan Ying!

Reluctant to leave Mia'er!

Reluctant to leave Sha Beibei!

Reluctant to leave all his brothers!

But no matter how attached he was, he knew everything was coming to an end!

He... had reached his limit!

When the last trace of Black Matter was absorbed, he would completely vanish from this world.

"Hehe." Suddenly, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth.

His eyes even flashed with a hint of yearning.

In one's final moments, everyone would think of the most important people or things in their life.

The Demon King was no exception!

At this moment, he thought of that familiar face, the stunning beauty, the gallant demeanor.

He thought of the Blood Queen Phoenix!

"Death, it's not so bad." Ye Qiu's smile grew broader, he murmured, "Phoenix, no matter how many beautiful women I'm surrounded by, I... still can't let you go!"

"Phoenix, you're the most beautiful, in my heart, you're the most beautiful!"

"Phoenix, I miss you, I miss you so much..."

"Phoenix, we... we're about to meet, so I'm very happy!"

Time passed second by second, Ye Qiu's breath grew weaker.

Like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

At this moment, in the military district, inside the conference room.

Seeing Ye Qiu's face pale to the extreme, the last glimmer of expectation disappeared from Fei Ming's eyes!

Fei Ming said nothing, watching Ye Qiu with deep respect, saluting.

Other leaders followed suit, saluting!

They were still angry.

Still heartbroken.

But now, everyone's thoughts are clear.

Praying for the fallen warriors is more important than anything!

Inside the laboratory.

Whoosh!

A fierce stream of air surged into Ye Qiu's body from within the steel sphere!

Ye Qiu grunted, his body shook violently!

The next moment, the entire space fell silent!

One second.

Two seconds.

...

Ten seconds.

...

Half a minute passed, and no more black airflow emerged from the steel sphere.

The Black Matter had been completely absorbed!

Gradually, a hint of joy appeared on everyone's face in the laboratory.

Because the Demon King, Ye Qiu, had not fallen!

"Ye Qiu!"

"Ye Qiu, how are you?"

In an instant, everyone in the laboratory was in an uproar, rushing towards Ye Qiu!

However, Ye Qiu did not give them any response!

"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, how are you?" Bai Lan gently shook Ye Qiu's body.

Still, Ye Qiu did not respond!

At this time, the smile that had just appeared on Lin Haode's face vanished again, his expression turning stiff.

His trembling hand slowly reached out, nervously placing it on Ye Qiu's neck.

After a dozen seconds, Lin Haode shook his head and said weakly, "He...his heart has stopped."

Heartbeat... has stopped...

The Demon King Ye Qiu... ultimately sacrificed!

The entire space was incredibly silent!

The scene was filled with immense sorrow!

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Bai Lan's cheeks.

Lin Haode and his assistants stood there in grief, not knowing what to say for a long time.

The remaining two warriors from the Seventh Squad looked at Ye Qiu with deep respect!

This... is their king!

The king of the Demon Corps!

The god of the Huaxia Army!

Even in sacrifice, he wouldn't fall, forever standing tall and firm!

At this moment, Ye Qiu's hands were still tightly holding the steel sphere!

Bai Lan and Lin Haode tried to separate his hands, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pull them apart!

"Ye Qiu... Ye Qiu..."

Bai Lan was in a blank state of mind, gently stroking Ye Qiu's face, repeatedly murmuring his name.

At this moment, the pain in her heart was beyond words!

She felt as if her heart was about to shatter.

Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu was standing right in front of her, but no matter how she called for him, he couldn't respond.

Tears fell like raindrops.

Looking at Ye Qiu's lifeless, ashen face, scenes from the past kept flashing in Bai Lan's mind.

Their first meeting, Ye Qiu saving her by killing Prince William at all costs.

At that time, that thin silhouette was like an imprint, etched deep within her heart, unforgettable.

Later, when Ye Qiu applied for a job at the Bai Group, her former benefactor stood right before her, yet she knew nothing.

Eventually, she learned of Ye Qiu's identity, and he resolved crises for her time and again; she couldn't count all they had been through.

They argued, they were affectionate, and their relationship unknowingly evolved.

"Ye Qiu..." Bai Lan murmured, tears streaming down even harder.

She remembered the last time Ye Qiu was seriously injured and unconscious; she kept telling herself never to see Ye Qiu hurt again.

But this time, she witnessed it again.

Unlike before, this time, Ye Qiu... Ye Qiu truly stopped his heartbeat.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, clear cracking noises echoed in Bai Lan's mind.

Touching Ye Qiu's cold face, her world completely collapsed...

"Ah!!!"

At this moment, Bai Lan finally couldn't bear it, burst into tears, crying out loud, tears pouring like a torrential rain.

At this moment, all her strength, her cold demeanor, turned into nothingness!

The once ice-cold goddess, unmoved by honor or disgrace, now seemed like a little girl who had lost her beloved toy, crying heartbreakingly.

"Huh?" Amidst Bai Lan's sorrow, Lin Haode suddenly uttered a gasp of surprise!

The next second, intense joy suddenly appeared on his face!

Just a moment ago, Lin Haode's peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of the workbench not far away!

The used test tube from previous research had a layer of liquid at the bottom!

That was... the Genetic Potion just refined!

"The potion! It's the potion!"

Lin Haode shouted excitedly, rushing over without hesitation, "This Genetic Potion was extracted from the Black Pearl; it might have a chance to save Ye Qiu!"

However, almost simultaneously, from outside the laboratory, a dark shadow suddenly darted in!
