Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the work of refining the Peacock Demon King was finally coming to an end.

Watching his newly recognized elder brother bind the Peacock Demon King tightly, immobilizing him in a special position, he then pierced several gleaming spiritual energy nails into the peacock's 108 acupoints.

The next second, immense pain struck. The Peacock Demon King let out a miserable scream, his body convulsing uncontrollably before collapsing to the ground.

If Wang Zheng hadn't noticed something was wrong and used the Beast Taming Ring to control the demon king in time, the demon king would probably have committed suicide immediately.

Seeing this, the mirage beast quickly increased the speed of its movements. With each wave of its hands, streams of azure primordial energy flowed from the peacock demon king's acupoints, eventually condensing into a phantom of a peacock, which launched a series of attacks on its own body.

Unfortunately, the acupoints of the demon king's body were sealed, so this wisp of spirit could not return to its original form. In the end, under the refinement of the ferocious beast's candle flames, it let out a mournful cry and completely vanished.

At this moment, this former tyrant and lackey of Buddhism has become history. Only a giant peacock, unable to bear the pain of this living refining method, has revealed its true form and begun to convulse instinctively.

Soon, the giant peacock's colorful feathers turned completely black, and tiny, tadpole-like black characters appeared on its skin.

Even though its mind had been refined, it still suffered the torment it was meant to endure. The black peacock could no longer stand or fly, and kept flapping its wings on the ground.

That appearance was so disheveled that even a wild pheasant in the wilderness wouldn't look as pathetic as someone who is a descendant of a divine phoenix.

Wang Zheng was amazed by the bizarre scene before him.

Although the Demon Seed Dao Heart that was previously rumored to be the orthodox one of the Xuanmen, the ferocious beast itself said that those who cultivated such techniques in ancient times were all demonic cultivators, and their fates were not good.

Now this mirage beast has pulled this stunt again.

"This is practically leading me down the wrong path! But please increase the amount of these benefits; as long as there are no future problems, the more the better!"

If that mirage beast knew what Young Master Wang was thinking, it would probably want to refine him.

After all, he had spent money and effort, and even kindly added an extra layer of restrictions to make the puppet even stronger. He never expected that even after all this, he would still be criticized. Wang Zheng is really not a human being!

After refining for almost half an hour, the Mirage Hand finally cast the last spell into the head of the giant peacock.

The next second, the demon king, who was suffering a fate worse than death on the ground, suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura. His jet-black skin receded like a tide, but the light in his eyes was completely gone.

This complex ancient secret technique finally came to an end. The mirage beast wiped away non-existent sweat from its brow, let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned to Wang Zheng, cupping its hands in a respectful gesture, saying:

"I have successfully completed my mission. I have also drawn several physical enhancement arrays on his skin. Would you like to try them out yourself?"

Looking at the Peacock Demon King in front of him, whose eyes were empty and devoid of any emotion, Wang Zheng realized for the first time what a great demon was and what ruthless methods were.

After circling the pitiful and pathetic demon king a few times, I couldn't help but sigh.

The giant spirit bird has now returned to its original form under the control of the mirage beast. Although it wasn't very obvious when the demon king was in his true form, it is now clear how much suffering it has endured.

At this moment, the Peacock Demon King... no, it should be the Peacock Puppet, had its hands and feet severed.

Even his finger bones were twisted and reversed, the pale skeleton exposed to the air, and the blue robe made of feathers on his body was torn up by his own scratching.

Even so, this guy still stood respectfully in front of Wang Zheng, standing straight in a strange posture that made one's skin crawl.

If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of the other person's chest, Wang Zheng would have suspected that the guy had already kicked the bucket.

While the process of live animal processing is extremely cruel, it poses no problem if the subject is a peacock.

Moreover, unlike what Wang Zheng thought of as a puppet that was just a cold, lifeless object, seeing the white smoke coming out of its mouth and nose and the blood left on its body, this so-called puppet seemed to be no different from a living person.

Seeing that Wang Zheng hadn't spoken for a long time, the mirage beast thought that the young master Wang was not satisfied with his appearance.

“This guy is a demon king who has survived the tribulation, so his body isn’t that weak. These are just superficial injuries. Even if left untreated, they will slowly heal. Moreover, I didn’t touch his original demon core, and he has retained about 70-80% of his strength. You know the Yin-Yang Profound Light, so it’s very easy to heal him.”

Upon hearing this, Young Master Wang waved his hands repeatedly.

"That's not what I meant. I was just surprised to see such a method for the first time. Elder Shen is overthinking it."

As he spoke, Wang Zheng extended his spiritual power, circled around the Peacock Demon King, and then entered from the top of its head.

In an instant, Wang Zheng saw his own handsome face, which was showing a hint of curiosity, and then he and his original body spoke at the same time:

"So I've succeeded on this side?"

The sound startled even Wang Dashao himself.

The next second, he saw the mirage beast nodding with a smile from a different perspective. This special view made Wang Shao very curious, and he quickly looked at his own body.

However, when the main body and the clone made a move together, the peacock clone, due to its injuries, lost its balance and fell to the ground, after which the connection was broken.

After all, this was the first time he had experienced something like this. Controlling two bodies at the same time and having two different perspectives appear in his mind was still a bit of a challenge for Young Master Wang.

Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough, and he became familiar with it after only a short time of experimentation.

Aside from its severe injuries and limited mobility, this puppet clone was almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person, and it could even unleash the divine power of the five-colored divine light.

It's just that Young Master Wang is still a bit unfamiliar with operating it since it's his first time.

Feeling his clone enveloped in azure light, and his injuries beginning to slowly heal, Young Master Wang was quite satisfied with the puppet and became very playful.

Immediately afterwards, it reverted to its true form as a demon king. However, after flapping its wings a few times, it not only failed to take off but also collapsed to the ground. Feeling embarrassed, Young Master Wang awkwardly withdrew his control.

Then several more beams of mysterious light shone down, helping the puppet clone to recover faster.

Seeing this, the mirage beast sighed repeatedly.

"As expected of the most advanced secret technique in the primordial world, its effects are truly extraordinary."

Wang Zheng also bowed to the ancient demon to express his gratitude.

"I must thank Elder Shen for his help. Although this puppet is useful, it is still somewhat difficult to control with mental power, and the further away it is from me, the stronger the barrier becomes. I wonder if there is a solution?"
