To be honest, the Sea Catfish Demon King was really wronged. A dignified demon king didn't even have the chance to self-destruct before he ended up with his head separated from his body. It makes one marvel at how terrifying the Peacock's supernatural powers are.

At this moment, the demon kings, who had previously echoed the sentiments and tried to get a share of the spoils from the main hall, were so terrified that they looked at each other in disbelief and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"This... the sea catfish was killed just like that? How terrifying must the Peacock Demon King be!"

"What kind of technique is that Xuan Guang? It can actually freeze people in place. What kind of terrifying divine power is this!"

Aside from the group of demon kings who had been completely terrified, Wang Zheng, who was watching from inside the main hall, was even more astonished and speechless.

"Is this guy really a genius? I was just saying it offhand, and he actually managed to master the Five-Colored Divine Light?"

The mere blue and yellow light is already so profound; if he were to develop it further, what a sight it would be if all five colors appeared at once!

Moreover, isn't the Five-Colored Divine Light, which he made up out of thin air, supposed to be a supernatural power that can absorb anything? How did it become a form of imprisonment?

"No, no, if it's just a matter of restraint, why weren't the attacks of the other two demon kings affected? There must be some other mysterious aspect to it."

Wang Zheng broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that the words he had used to deceive him in order to save his own life had inadvertently created such a terrifying monster. He was filled with fear and resolved to kill the demon king as soon as possible if he had the chance.

Otherwise, if he were to truly grow stronger, the borders of China would likely never be peaceful again, and all the grandmasters would suffer greatly at his hands!

However, while marveling at the Peacock Demon King's extraordinary abilities, Wang Zheng also felt immense envy for such power.

If he possessed this binding power, killing demon kings would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs. With divine light unleashed, he could freeze people in place, and that would be an endless supply of demon kings' inner cores...

"This ability is truly terrifying. It seems to contain a trace of spatial laws. No wonder this guy was able to sense the fragility of the space inside the ruins first and couldn't resist the stimulation of the battle of a hundred demons."

But why is this peacock so determined to open the main hall? Is there some important information inside that I've overlooked and haven't discovered yet?

Considering the Peacock Demon King's unusual behavior, Wang Zheng couldn't help but doubt himself and began another round of careful searching...

The demon kings in the square were naturally unaware of what Young Master Wang was thinking.

At this moment, all the rogue demon kings were terrified by the Peacock Demon King's thunderous methods, and they realized that this seemingly gentle demon king was actually the most ferocious guy on the scene.

"Now I'm saying we should break the barrier together. Who agrees, and who disagrees?"

Faced with the Peacock Demon King's questioning, the more than fifty demon kings present, who had been shouting loudly just minutes before, all fell silent, stammering and hesitant, with not one daring to voice any objection.

After all, the one who sticks out gets to lie on the ground now, so how could they dare to offend the demon king on the spot?

Moreover, the mysterious light divine power was unpredictable and difficult to defend against. Having witnessed the brutality of this renowned demon king, some clever lone wolves had already secretly moved back. Upon reaching the gate tower, they planned to leave as soon as the space shattered after the fight broke out.

Regardless of the potential benefits within the main hall, they had no intention of getting involved in this mess anymore...

Seeing that the trouble with the Sea Demon King had been resolved, the Peacock Demon King turned his attention to the Chinese Grandmasters Group.

As one of only two forces on the field with more than ten top experts, it was clear that the Peacock Demon King was also seeking their opinions.

Of course, this can also be considered a form of coercion. First, he dismantled the alliance between foreign extraordinary beings and Chinese grandmasters, then he dealt with the largest number of rogue demon kings, and in the end, he was left with only the Chinese human grandmasters who were most at odds with him.

However, there's a reason why the extraordinary beings of China are called Grandmasters. They have never backed down in the face of such lukewarm threats, let alone the peacock with whom they have a blood feud.

The long-bearded master who was leading the group sneered a few times, but did not immediately agree to the Peacock Demon King's proposal.

Although they were surprised by the peacock's methods, they did not back down at this moment.

"As expected of the overlord of Southeast Asia, the Peacock Demon King truly has impressive methods and audacity. Are you trying to intimidate the Chinese people?"

The Peacock Demon King cupped his hands in greeting and replied calmly:

"Grandmaster Huang has no reason to be so hostile towards me. Cooperation benefits both sides, while division harms both sides. You should know this better than anyone else."

He then raised an eyebrow at the foreign superhumans standing to the side.

"Don't forget, there are far more demon kings than humans here, and it's hard to say whether you can even unite as one..."

Despite the Peacock Demon King's provocations, Master Huang remained unmoved.

"You talk as if these demon kings all obey your commands. You're far more experienced at dealing with your own kind than we humans are. Heh heh, you can kill a demon king with a wave of your hand. I wonder how many of them will be able to escape unscathed from this ruin in the end..."

...

Amidst the verbal sparring between the human and the demon, Wang Zheng learned that one of the two leading elders was named Huang Qi, one of the grandmasters assigned by the state to be stationed near the ruins, and the other was Grandmaster Yan Yan, who led a team from the harbor to provide support.

However, as a master of Chinese culture, he must also bear the responsibility of exploring ruins and striving for international benefits to strengthen himself; otherwise, he would not have agreed to separately claim and explore the buildings in different places.

Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before these top experts join forces to break through the barrier of the main hall. This is especially frustrating for Wang Zheng, who has only taken a bunch of books he can't understand from inside the hall.

If you were to say that there were some truly great benefits inside the main hall, that would be one thing, but apart from a portrait that turned to ashes, he didn't gain any benefit whatsoever. How could this not make Wang Zheng anxious?

He had already prepared for the worst, and after taking out two inner cores, he absorbed them without hesitation.

As the upper limit of spiritual energy in the data panel continues to increase, the two attributes of spirit and agility also slowly increase.

Once Wang Zheng had absorbed all the spiritual energy from the two inner cores, causing them to completely turn into powder and dissipate, both of these attributes increased to 99 points.

Looking at the five-dimensional attributes with all 99 points on the virtual panel in front of him, Wang Zheng tried his best to suppress the spiritual energy that was beginning to boil, and only then did he feel a little more at ease.

In this way, even if the last inner core doesn't work, I can still forcefully add points to break through my limits, and I won't be afraid of having no way to fight back if I encounter danger...
