Wang Zheng's brows were furrowed, his face serious, and his expression full of sarcasm.
Before long, the Candle Flame, which Lei Peng Demon King had dodged long ago, was drawn but not fired this time. It seemed to be just a dud, making a big turn in the water before plunging into the seabed and disappearing into the darkness.
At first, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc was on guard against Wang Zheng's sneak attack when it saw his serious expression. However, when it sensed that the violent black fire had fallen directly into the sea, it felt relieved.
The numerous sea monster kings chasing after him mocked Wang Zheng relentlessly, confirming that their suspicions were indeed correct—the flames were utterly ineffective at the bottom of the sea.
This kid seemed brave, but in the end he couldn't even launch a decent attack. He felt ashamed of himself for dodging the energy ball earlier.
However, the expressions on the demon kings' faces only lasted a few seconds before they realized just how terribly wrong they had been…
Seeing that the candle flame energy ball had fallen into the dark abyss of the seabed fissure, Wang Zheng felt relieved, knowing that his plan had worked.
Wang Dashao first used his bone knife to unleash a beam of candle flames, which he then deliberately detonated, forcing the pursuing demon kings to make way. This also served as a hint that his fire-based ability would explode at the point of impact.
Since it was their first meeting, no one knew what Wang Zheng's abilities were, so they would naturally make a judgment based on his first attack, which was made in anger.
In this way, not only could the second Candle Flame Energy Ball reach its designated location smoothly under his control, but it also prevented the possibility that these demon kings would intercept it in advance and detonate it.
At this moment, the candle flame energy ball successfully detonated in the seabed fissure. Wang Zheng's goal had been achieved, and now it was up to the volcano in the deep sea abyss to deal with it.
Wang Zheng quickly hid in a pre-prepared shelter, then covered himself with layers of candle flame protection to resist the erosion of the earth fire.
The next second, a deafening roar suddenly came from the dark seabed, followed by a crimson expanse and endless bubbles accompanied by a pungent sulfur smell.
In the perception of the demon kings, the space beneath their feet was already a blazing sea of fire...
"What happened?"
Sensing a sudden and violent surge of fire element in their surroundings, one of the pursuing sea monster kings cried out in alarm:
"Impossible! How could that fire attack have such power!?"
He simply couldn't believe that all of this was caused by the kid in front of him, because he knew perfectly well that although the energy ball was powerful, it could never have caused such a strong backlash, which was simply beyond his comprehension.
When the terrified Golden-Winged Thunder Roc turned its head to look, it saw that under the tremors of the seabed, the ravines in the silt had cracked open with bottomless fissures, and the gaps that had been enveloped by the high-pressure gas membrane had now been completely swallowed up by the strange black flames.
Then the seabed began to shake violently, and the shaking became increasingly intense.
From that dark, monstrous abyss, a massive pillar of energy suddenly shot into the sky, then transformed into a giant fireball, rising towards the horizon.
In that instant, countless molten lava erupted from the earth, turning the entire seabed into a crimson world, and even causing large pillars of fire to appear in some areas.
The magma from the ground seemed to be alive, swirling and churning in the water, like fiery dragons raging wildly around them, engulfing everyone inside.
At this moment, the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc saw the strange phenomenon before him and thought to himself that this was a rare opportunity. He dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly rushed towards the sea, trying to escape as quickly as possible and get away in the chaos.
Unfortunately, it was all too late!
With the endless release of energy, not only him, but also the group of demon kings chasing behind him, were now completely enveloped by this power of nature...
...
Wang Zheng was hiding in a dark trough of a coral reef, surrounded by scorching lava and churning flames. The whole world was filled with danger and an atmosphere of destruction.
Although his intervention had created a stalemate, Wang Zheng knew very well that the erupting magma from underground would at most restrict the movements of these demon kings.
It's nothing. At most, they'll suffer some minor injuries. After all, they're all highly skilled individuals with their own domains. Even if they can't withstand the power of heaven and earth, they can still run away.
He himself didn't believe that he could wipe them all out with just this one move.
As Lei Peng was sealed off by countless magma gushing from the seabed, his face instantly turned ferocious.
The reason was simple: when Wang Zheng ignited the candle flames and stirred up the earth fire, he secretly condensed a ball of holy light and pushed it next to the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc.
At this moment, amidst the endless crimson light, the holy orb of light stood out conspicuously, revealing Lei Peng's every movement in perfect detail.
Although the sudden eruption of subterranean fire did hinder the demon kings behind him, the problem was that Lei Peng was currently fleeing for his life.
Just as he made a move, several streaks of light pressed him back to his original position, infuriating the ferocious demon king to the point of wanting his lungs to explode...
At this moment, the situation on the seabed is changing rapidly. Although the deafening earthquake has not yet stopped, Wang Zheng has successfully escaped the encirclement of the demon kings.
At the same time, he also pinned down the Thunder Roc Demon King who was planning to frame him, instantly escaping his awkward situation.
At this moment, the pursuing demon kings used various methods to break free from the energy tide erupting from the seabed and immediately spotted the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc trying to escape.
As for Wang Zheng, who caused this incident, he didn't have the Thunder Pearl on him, so he just ran away.
Faced with the overwhelming attacks, Lei Peng did not blame himself for his greed or his poor judgment. Instead, he felt that it was Wang Zheng who had put him in danger.
While helplessly resisting, his eyes frequently swept over the hidden reef where Wang Zheng was hiding...
In just a few breaths, the Thunder Roc Demon King was beaten to the point of vomiting blood under the siege of the other demon kings. His body, which had finally recovered, was covered in wounds, and even one of his sharp claws was cut off.
At this moment, the demon king's eyes were bleeding and his gaze was about to burst. He knew that it was impossible for him to keep this benefit and escape unscathed. If he delayed any longer, he might even lose his life here.
This guy is ruthless and decisive. Knowing it was impossible, he still opened his mouth and spat out a golden crystal crackling with electricity.
This was his inner core, cultivated over many years, now surrounded by wisps of dark, mysterious lightning, as precious as a work of art.
As mentioned before, the demon king's attack by spitting out his inner core signifies a desperate gamble, and the self-destruction of the inner core outside the body amplifies the explosive power by several levels.
The moment the inner core appeared, a violent energy surge emanated from the Thunder Roc Demon King and spread outwards...
