"You're the Poisonous Python King? Aren't you already dead?!"

Wang Zheng was shocked. The moves this demon king used were clearly identical to those of the venomous python king.

Add to that its signature seven-colored poisonous mist, and it's hard not to recognize it.

"Good lad, you do have some discernment. But my Seven-Colored Domain is already famous throughout the world. It's nothing that you can recognize it."

"Pah! Fame throughout the world my ass! I heard you were beaten by the military to the point of self-destruction of your inner core?"

No wonder your spiritual energy is so weak, even weaker than mine. You barely escaped with your life, instead of hiding and eking out a living, you're now working as a bodyguard for the bastard son of the Spirit Elephant King? It's laughable.

Wang Zheng has such a sharp tongue; he always says the most disgusting things to provoke people into going crazy so he can find a chance to escape.

The venomous python king was furious when Wang Zheng said something unkind, hitting a nerve.

He had already been badly beaten and forced to flee by a group of soldiers from Yunnan on the outskirts of Kunming. Before his injuries had even healed, he was pursued and killed by soldiers from several major military regions of China.

Forced into a corner and knowing there was no hope of escape, he first tricked the more powerful Caiman Crocodile King into fighting him, while he himself took the opportunity to detonate his inner core and feign death to escape.

After detonating his inner core, most of his spiritual energy was gone. In addition, he hid underground and used his snake breath technique to deceive the military's investigation. He only dared to escape after hiding for several days.

He carefully made his way back to his old stronghold, Zhaolong Mountain, only to find that it had long been razed to the ground by the military.

By then, he had nowhere to go.

Because of him, two of the demon kings of Annam, which is next to China, died. The reputation of the Poisonous Python King has long been tarnished in the border area.

Putting aside whether there would be anywhere to take him in after he left China, he himself was unwilling to leave China.

After all, although there are many demon kings within China, the land is still vast and sparsely populated.

There are many famous mountains and rivers with abundant spiritual energy. Asking him to go to those wild and desolate places to compete for mountain strongholds with some sixth-rank exotic beasts would not only be shameful and humiliating, but it would also expose his identity, and there would definitely be demon kings who would take advantage of his misfortune.

It should be noted that although the inner core exploded, it is not impossible to re-condense, it just takes a long time. Moreover, as a pseudo-demon king without an inner core, he will definitely be someone that people keep an eye on, no matter where he is.

Left with no other choice, the Poisonous Python King, having nowhere else to go, decided to turn to the Peacock Demon King, the most powerful figure in Yunnan.

First, restore our strength, and then proceed gradually.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. On the way, he unexpectedly learned that the Spirit Elephant King had killed a serpent demon king from Hongshawadi in his early years and had even obtained the demon king's inner core.

In order to quickly regain its strength, the Poisonous Python King did not go to Phoenix Perch, but instead turned to Elephant Trunk Ridge.

It's important to understand that the transformation of a mythical beast into human form during its tribulation is not a simple illusion technique, nor can it be transformed into any shape it desires.

Otherwise, the Crimson Flame Eagle King, influenced by Chu Tianxing, wouldn't have been ridiculed by its kind for so many years.

The transformation of a beast into a human form is a change in life form, determined by a combination of factors such as its own behavior and the type of beast.

Ultimately, it is influenced by their origins.

After transforming into human form, they became completely indistinguishable from humans, including their thoughts.

Moreover, due to the difficulty of cultivation for exotic beasts, they fight each other, deceive each other, and scheme against each other.

Furthermore, the near-death experience of the Transformation Tribulation often leads to a more selfish and distorted mentality in those who transform into powerful demons. They would never do anything that harms themselves for the benefit of others.

Only a destined demon like Master Bai of Jingnan, who has lived a muddled life and doesn't even know when he successfully transformed into human form, could have such a peaceful state of mind.

Therefore, any demon king, given the chance, will definitely detonate his inner core before he dies.

Even if we can't fight to the death with the enemy, we will never leave them with even the slightest bit of benefit.

Even more extreme cases involve people who devour their own bodies, unwilling to let their opponents gain an advantage.

Therefore, obtaining a demon king's inner core is extremely difficult.

This shows that even among demon kings, the Spirit Elephant King's strength is definitely among the top tier.

Moreover, the inner core in the hands of the Spirit Elephant King is a relic of his own kind. If he can get his hands on it, the Poisonous Python King believes that he can definitely recover his original strength in an instant, and it is even possible that he can surpass his original strength.

That's why he changed course halfway and went directly to Elephant Trunk Ridge, pretending to surrender to the Spirit Elephant King.

As a veteran demon king, the Spirit Elephant King is undoubtedly powerful. Although he is the second-in-command of the Peacock King's forces, he also has his own ulterior motives. He is quite delighted to have a demon king pledge allegiance to him for no reason.

They immediately kept him there, but every time the Poisonous Python King mentioned wanting to recover his strength as soon as possible, the Elephant King would change the subject and casually brush it off, never mentioning the matter of the demon beast's inner core.

This only fueled the resentment of the already malevolent python king.

It is precisely because of this that the Poisonous Python King repeatedly ignored Huang Zumeng's pleas for help, which led to the Poisonous Python King cursing Huang Zumeng for wasting a precious resource after Huang Zumeng was forced to swallow the Demon King's inner core, and why he was so furious after Wang Zheng killed Huang Zumeng.
