He couldn't always rely on the golden armor; letting laziness creep in would be detrimental.
Three minutes later, Xiao Mo once again slew two demon kings with his divine sword.
Like before, the two demons melted into pools of viscous green liquid, emanating a foul odor.
Xiao Mo's gaze turned icy. A divine fire ignited in his palm, and he struck the viscous fluid on the ground.
The seemingly sentient liquid immediately erupted into blue flames, accompanied by a sizzling sound.
A noxious burnt smell then permeated the air as the pools of liquid vanished under the flames.
Two demon lords had thus been dealt with by him.
No one present was not utterly awestruck by Xiao Mo's lightning-fast execution.
"He's... he's too strong!"
"That was an absolute shocker! From now on, Xiao Mo is my idol. Anyone who dares to speak ill of him is challenging me."
"He's truly the strongest man in the world!"
"I love him so much!"
"Husband!"
"..."
These words from the territorial lords, neither too loud nor too soft, were audible to everyone present, as they were all at or above the divine level.
Xiao Mo, at the peak of the God King realm, could hear them even more clearly.
He naturally heard the shouts of "Husband."
At first, it was only the female territorial lords calling out, but then the male territorial lords joined in.
Xiao Mo froze, feeling utterly speechless.
What were these rascals shouting about!
However, he soon lost the focus to dwell on these matters, as he continued to battle the remaining dozen or so demon kings.
Xiao Mo moved like a phantom, weaving through the demon kings.
His speed was incredible, and divine power continuously radiated from him.
Under this divine power, the demons had no chance to resist, being scattered and defeated.
The territorial lords below watched this scene with increasing astonishment.
Xiao Mo's power far exceeded their wildest imaginations.
After all, they had initially believed Xiao Mo would only be at the divine level, and even after the [Otherworld Extermination Event], he would at most reach the peak divine level.
Yet, upon seeing him in person, they realized he had already surpassed them by a vast margin.
He had reached the peak God King realm, just one step away from becoming a demon lord.
Moreover, he faced these demons with composure, defeating the demon lords as if they were battered dogs.
"It seems that after this [Otherworld Extermination Event], the landscape of the Primordial Continent will undergo a significant transformation when we return."
"Yes, absolutely!"
"With the current strength of the great Xiao Mo, it's not impossible for him to dominate the entire Primordial Continent!"
"Not yet, it's unlikely to happen immediately. The Elven Goddess and the Goddess of Destiny wouldn't allow such a thing."
"However, given this pace of development, it's only a matter of time."
"These demons are truly powerful now. What lies at the core of the earth? Does anyone know?"
"I believe there must be something very important there. Otherwise, the great Xiao Mo would have simply aimed to secure first place in points."
"But he already achieved first place long ago, and the total number of demons killed by all our castles combined doesn't even match his individual kill count."
"Yet, he continues to press deeper into the earth. There must be a reason he has to go there."
At this point, everyone began to ponder why Xiao Mo was so determined to reach the center of the earth.
Some also began to notice something amiss.
Their strength had increased, allowing them to perceive more.
"Don't you all find something very wrong with this world?"
"It's one thing that there are no other living beings, but not only is the moon blood-red, but the sun is also like that."
"It's as if there's no daytime."
"And even if these demons despise sunlight, why would they burrow so deep underground?"
"It feels like something important is attracting them there!"
"Could it be that the world's laws are in danger?"
"That's right! Furthermore, these detestable demons must have arrived underground for some reason."
"Then, do you think the world's laws might be at the center of the earth?"
"I think that's highly possible. Otherwise, why would the great Xiao Mo and these demons strive so hard to go underground?"
"My heavens! That's the world's laws! How wonderful it would be to obtain them!"
"Don't get your hopes up, you wouldn't even dream of it!"
"Even if the world's laws are in decline, they won't be easily obtained by you!"
"There must be other gods protecting the world's laws here."
Knowing this, Jin Xuan secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. She felt a sense of pride as these people finally started to notice the anomalies.
"His Majesty the Holy Lord is truly amazing. Having just arrived here, he has already discovered so many discrepancies!"
Her devotion to Xiao Mo deepened, and she yearned to improve her strength quickly so that Xiao Mo would take her in.
Someone else in a different location harbored similar sentiments.
That was Tang Weiwei, who had infiltrated the [Goddess's Home].
Listening to the conversations now, her eyes sparkled. Her gaze constantly followed Xiao Mo's figure.
Her eyes were full of adoration, clearly indicating her desire for Xiao Mo's favor.
In fact, thoughts like Tang Weiwei's were commonplace among the female territorial lords.
They had fallen deeply in love with the valiant and exceptionally powerful Xiao Mo.
Currently, Xiao Mo was a terrifying force, cutting through the demon horde with his strength and his golden armor.
He had achieved this without even drawing his main divine artifact, the [King's Scepter]. It was truly astonishing.
After eliminating one demon after another, Xiao Mo's experience points increased, and he felt he had advanced another step closer to the demon lord realm.
"So I've become this strong. It seems I need to keep moving, otherwise, I'll have a distorted perception of my own strength."
Xiao Mo grew more ferocious with each battle, much to the despair of the demons he slew.
Although they lacked intelligence, they had developed the capacity for pain.
Under Xiao Mo's holy light, they could only howl incessantly. They wished to attack the damned human before them but instead met their demise, becoming his experience.
