His plan is a success and he manages to collect incredible 1 billion spirit energy, however, when his technique was almost completed, he realized that people were not under his control, but under Sun Rong's control. It was revealed by Wang Ling himself that he modified the matrix of the technique so that he couldn't control anyone.
Richman then tries to destroy Wang Ling in all ways and started trying to hit him with a meteor, but without success because the trajectory was not as expected. He then catches a meteor 20 kilometers in diameter and pushes it toward the Earth, he plans to sacrifice himself and use all of his energy plus the meteor explosion to create a massive mass extinction effect, something that was accepted by Demon Emperor, to his complete happiness. He then takes his true form, which is a giant cobra and prepares for the collision, but his plans are interrupte when Wang Ling, in the skyloop fort, launches Jingke towards the comet, destroying it and killing him in the process.
Techniques[]

Weakness: Nigh-Omnipotent beings like, Wang Ling, can simply reverse the effects of negative energy
Transformation

Great vision

Demonic technique, great world level control technique
A great control technique that requires 1 billion spirit energy to perform. Once cast it can control all people on Earth at the same time.
Weaknesses: Nigh-Omnipotent beings, such as Wang Ling, can sense the foreplay of the technique before it is launched, giving the being the opportunity to divert the central matrix away from the user, making him unable to control people caught in the technique.
Relations[]
Demon Emperor: He is extremely loyal to his emperor, even intending to sacrifice himself to ensure the humans don't cause any trouble.
Demon Master: As his subordinate, Richman is loyal to him.
Wang Ling: By having his great technique of control changed by him, he soon realized that he was much more dangerous than Sun Rong and that's why he would try everything to eliminate him and make the Demon Emperor’s plans continue.
