Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng's first thought wasn't about his own safety, but rather he immediately grasped the key point.
"What do you mean by absorbing a lot of spiritual energy from me?"
After muttering something to himself, Young Master Wang immediately realized what was going on.
"Oh, well, you're supposed to be an ancient divine beast, and I knew that adding points and skills would consume the limit, but using an ability directly depletes that limit! I never thought it was you who was behind this! Do you know how desperately I'm for spiritual energy right now? Give it back to me!"
Wang Zheng didn't even glance at him when Wang Zheng questioned him.
"If you're so capable, then don't use it. You've gotten the benefits and you're still acting innocent. Who do you think is responsible for your ability to cultivate to this level in just one year?"
"For me, a primordial divine beast, to need a little of your spiritual energy is the least I can do. If you had encountered someone less gracious, you would have been dead long ago!"
After careful consideration, Young Master Wang found the beast's explanation to have some merit. Now was a crucial moment, not the time for infighting, so he continued to ask:
"So what do we do now? Although the peacock is gone, the current crisis is not over. In the end, it's all because you swallowed that ancient aura that they were allowed to come in. How can we get out of here?"
"You think you're so great? With your silver tongue, you can scare away all these rogue cultivators too."
Wang Zheng's last shred of respect for this trouble-making teammate has vanished.
But before he could refute, the ferocious beast continued to sigh:
"I have to say, you're not so simple-minded. That peacock is no ordinary person. You've fooled him so badly now, be careful he doesn't retaliate against you in the future."
By this time, the Peacock Demon King had already left with his subordinates, and the area around the hall was deserted. Wang Zheng wasn't worried about his words being overheard, and immediately cursed in an annoyed tone:
"I'm more afraid he won't come looking for me. I'll kill this guy sooner or later!"
Seeing Wang Zheng's tough stance, the beast pretended to be old and sighed with emotion.
"So, were all those convoluted stories you told me about knowledge brought back from Earth? That's incredible. It's truly remarkable that so much information has been passed down from the end times without being lost. It's really something else."
It's a pity that there wasn't much time that day, and I wasn't able to perceive any more information, which is truly regrettable..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng immediately reacted.
"I knew it!!! You brought me from Earth, didn't you? You pretended to be dead before, but now I've caught you red-handed. Let's see how you deny it now!"
Seeing that he had made a fool of himself by talking too much, the beast was also embarrassed.
For so many years, I just haven't been able to shake this habit of talking too much.
Faced with Wang Zheng's relentless questioning, the ferocious beast remained silent, then made a mocking gesture by waving its long sleeves.
"Stop talking nonsense, trouble is brewing. You should think about how to deal with it!"
...
After the Peacock Demon King left the hall with a gloomy expression, his henchmen stopped blocking the entrance.
The tribulation had stopped, and although some still harbored illusions, they still made their way towards the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, despite guessing that the peacock must have suffered some hardships.
Meanwhile, the two grandmasters from China, Huang and Yan, looked extremely distressed. No reinforcements had come in all this time, and they didn't know if they had been blocked or if something unexpected had happened outside.
They could only try to minimize their presence, and if necessary, self-destruct to die for their country.
However, despite the fact that the two of them were prepared to fight to the death, the peacock did not cause them any trouble after it came out. Instead, it whispered a few words and then the group kept scanning among the many demon kings, as if it was looking for something.
Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, the Demon King, who had already reached the entrance of the main hall, saw Wang Zheng sitting upright under the Yingyu statue in the empty hall.
Beside him was the ferocious beast that had long since transformed into human form, its aura now concealed, making it impossible to discern its true nature.
Although both of them were dressed in long robes and dressed as demon kings, the Dharma image above Wang Zheng's head was undeniable proof of being human, which caused the demon king to exclaim in surprise.
"There are people in this hall, and they are two people of Chinese descent!"
Upon hearing this, all the demon kings became restless and headed towards the outer perimeter of the palace gate.
Even Master Yan was excited and wanted to go see what was going on, but Huang Qi pulled him back in the end.
No one noticed that this shifty-eyed, short demon king, after causing the commotion, secretly retreated behind the other demon kings and continued to fan the flames.
“We’ve been keeping an eye on things the whole time. When the peacock came back, it looked unfriendly. It probably suffered a loss at the hands of these two.”
"I don't recognize these two at all. When did they come in?"
“The numbers don’t match up. I remember all the demon kings who entered the ruins. These two must have been here from the very beginning. The most valuable resources in these ruins must be in their hands!”
...
Although the source of the lightning tribulation cannot be explained for the time being, at this moment, wealth is tempting and profit is blinding. These demon kings cannot resist their greed, and several of them have already stepped into the area of the main hall.
Although the ferocious beast was disdainful of these so-called demon kings, it was not its true form after all, and its strength was now only a fraction of what it had been.
In particular, Wang Zheng's condensation of his Dharma form was always just a little bit lacking, which meant that even though he had passed the Transformation Tribulation, his strength was still suppressed to below that of the Demon King.
Although dealing with these small fry was not a problem, in order to teach Wang Zheng a lesson and prevent him from being so reckless in the future, they withdrew without making any move.
At the same time, in order to speed up Wang Zheng's progress, the ferocious beast gave him a disdainful look and then cursed him in a telepathic voice:
"You're such a waste! Are you done yet? If you don't hurry up, you're really going to die here. Don't expect me to help you..."
"Shut up!"
Provoked by the ferocious beast, Young Master Wang roared and focused all his spiritual energy on converging towards the Dharma image behind it.
A massive surge of energy emanated from his body, distorting his rugged features.
At that moment, the entire hall burst into golden light, as if endless energy was gushing out from Wang Zheng's body, and the last imperfection of the Dharma form was instantly condensed.
At this moment, he was glaring angrily, roaring to the sky.
Powerful waves of energy emanated from the Dharma image and spread outwards in all directions, even knocking the demon kings off their feet, and several of them even fell out of the hall.
Wang Zheng finally took the last step and slowly stood up, feeling the continuous power within his body, but he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now that he has a wider circle of contacts, he deals with both grandmasters and demon kings. He has been walking on thin ice for too long, and at this moment he has finally stood up.
At this moment, a genuine smile, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared on Young Master Wang's lips.
"Respond? Respond my ass! Right now, I'm going to slaughter them all!"
