Chapter 1051 - 1000-1001 Monkey King Takes Action, Fighting 2 by Himself, 2 Become 1
"Peacock King, this Shenxiao True Monarch is not an ordinary figure. It is crucial that you and I quickly join forces to suppress him, placing the Demon Race’s Qi Luck as the top priority!" the Celestial Ape King urged with a righteous tone.
The Peacock King, so proud by nature, could still retaliate even while being suppressed by Shenxiao True Monarch. Thus, he was quite displeased with the Celestial Ape King’s rash intervention.
However, upon hearing the Celestial Ape King’s urging, he instantly realized that this was not the time for pride, and for the sake of the greater good of the Demon Race, he accepted the other’s suggestion.
"Fine, today you and I will join forces to thoroughly suppress this Shenxiao True Monarch," declared the Peacock King, a trace of resolve flashing in his eyes, his gaze filled with fury as he looked at Pei Xuanjing.
As a supremely talented True Immortal among the Demon Kings, though he had kept a low profile, he had immense confidence in his own power. Among the many True Immortals of the Demon Race, aside from the Rat King, an ancient being whose age was unknown, he feared neither the Lion Emperor nor the Celestial Ape King.
This was also why the Peacock King decisively refused when the Lion Emperor clearly intended to recruit him for controlling the influence of the Demon Race, because he had the credentials and power to do so.
He had long revered Shenxiao True Monarch and had once seen him easily suppress the avatar of the Blood Fiend Ancestor during a great battle. It was clear to him that this opponent was not one to be trifled with.
Yet, only during his direct confrontation with Shenxiao True Monarch did he realize how laughable his previous estimation of the opponent was.
The so-called distant observations, the power revealed by the opponent’s avatar, was a mere fraction of his true strength. This terrifying battle power almost completely overwhelmed him in every aspect.
Whether it was divine power, comprehension of the Laws, or combat techniques, he was inferior in all aspects. His defeat was merely a matter of time. Had he not withheld his ultimate move, he would have already lost the will to fight.
