Watching the Thunder Roc Demon King rush into the passage, not only was the confident Roaring Whale Demon King's face ashen, but even the demon kings chasing behind him had mixed feelings.

Even though the pursuers had already caught up to the entrance of the passage, it was already too late.

When they saw Lei Peng turn his head and reveal a mocking and cruel smile, none of the many powerful figures present dared to follow him into the room, hoping to take advantage of his serious injuries and kill him.

Come to think of it, after all, it's their own life at stake, who would dare to act rashly at this time?

Are we betting that Lei Peng will obediently go into the ruins to explore after spending such a huge price to enter the passage?

If that's really the case, he's gone mad, trying to force his way through like that?

And indeed, just as these demon kings had predicted, Lei Peng rushed into the passage and, without stopping, headed straight for the black lightning in full view of everyone.

Seemingly having discovered Lei Peng's idea, the demon king outside the passage shouted anxiously.

"Lei Peng, how dare you!"

"If you retreat now, we will ignore what happened. But if you dare to destroy this passage, everyone here today will kill you!"

Faced with the threat of a demon king, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc didn't even glance at it again. After all, as a unique species of heaven and earth, it was able to sense the enormous energy contained in the lightning.

How could he possibly give up just because of a few threats, given that half of his body had been torn apart?

Besides, even if he were to withdraw, would these guys really not attack him?

We've both cultivated for so many years, who would be so naive!

The Thunder Roc Demon King felt the violent and fierce lightning strike him, and the hidden force within it continued to penetrate his body, even causing varying degrees of damage to his internal organs. Instead of being alarmed, he was delighted.

The greater the power of the thunder, the more it proves that one's choice is correct.

With this thought in mind, the demon king no longer hesitated and immediately opened his blood-red maw, swallowing the pitch-black lightning whole...

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

A deafening, violent thunderous roar erupted, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc began to tremble uncontrollably, with wisps of black smoke billowing from its sharp beak.

Immediately afterwards, the massive body, already severely injured, could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Countless jets of dark lightning erupted from his body, completely suppressing the protective layer of primordial golden lightning on his skin.

Before long, the flesh on the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc's body began to disintegrate, and large chunks of flesh broke into countless pieces from the inside out, falling to the ground and then being completely devoured by the black lightning.

But the next second, under the endless erosion of energy, Lei Peng's flesh and skin began to regenerate in a bizarre way.

Under the influence of this strange energy, the pure golden body kept cracking and recovering, recovering and cracking again, in an endless cycle.

"Ah~!!!"

The intense pain caused even the ferocious demon king to scream out loud.

Hearing the endless screams of the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, and seeing such a ferocious demon reduced to such a state, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Damn it! This guy is absolutely insane!"

"It's harmful to others and doesn't benefit oneself! What is this beast after? I should never have stayed behind. Now, it seems no one can enter these ruins!"

...

At this moment, without the support of the Thunder Pearl, the spatial passage became turbulent, large sections of the void barrier shattered, and the chaotic spiritual energy once again surged towards everyone.

Faced with this situation, no one dared to enter the passage anymore, since it was about to collapse and who knew how long it could hold on.

Hearing the Thunder Roc Demon King's mournful roar, all the demon kings felt a chill run down their spines.

Lei Peng was completely oblivious to the commotion at the entrance to the ruins; at that moment, he seemed to be lost in thought, his consciousness long since detached from his body…

Um... in plain terms, it's numb...

Lei Peng felt as if every single cell in his body was being crushed and reassembled under the raging thunder.

His already formidable physical body, through repeated destruction and rebirth, has miraculously been given new life.

Although the lightning bolt was not completely refined, and only a small portion of its power was absorbed, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc could clearly feel itself undergoing a complete transformation.

His imposing body grew several feet taller, his skin and feathers all fell off and were replaced by new black feathers. The golden lightning that had surrounded him had turned completely black, and a powerful and domineering aura continued to rise from his body.

Then, bursts of black lightning emanated from the Thunder Roc Demon King's body, and his previously weakened aura suddenly surged again...

Following this sudden change, a blinding black light burst forth from the depths of the void passage, followed by a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, countless violent bolts of lightning completely filled the interior of the passage, seemingly intent on blasting the demon king to smithereens...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Feeling his entire body brimming with power, and his wings, which had just been shredded, instantly restored to their original state, the Thunder Roc Demon King laughed wildly.

In such a short time, even refining just a little bit of it has increased the power of his innate divine ability by more than 30%. At this moment, even the inner core in his mind is gradually surrounded by a trace of black lightning.

If I were to completely refine the Thunder Pearl within my body, to what extent could I evolve?

The thought of how he had made a fortune from this gamble filled the entire space with the ferocious demon king's laughter.

The laughter echoing amidst the thunder was utterly ironic to the demon kings still arguing at the entrance of the passage…

As the light inside the passage gradually dimmed, the violent black lightning showed signs of erupting outwards, and the spatial rift at the entrance of the ruins became smaller and smaller. None of the many demon kings dared to venture into the lightning, and could only retreat and make way for the space.

Just minutes later, the passage began to narrow and narrow, slowly sinking towards the seabed...

By this time, everyone knew that it was absolutely impossible to enter the ruins through this passage again.

Even more seriously, if the boundary barrier cannot be broken after the ruins are fully revealed, then these hundreds of experts will either be trapped and die inside, or get lost in the spatial turbulence.

This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone present. The arrogance and mutual restraint among the experts had allowed Lei Peng to exploit the situation, not only gaining benefits but also completely destroying the entrance to the ruins.

If there were no other paths within these ruins, the consequences would be unimaginable...
