Chapter 280 Killing Emperor Wang
As Wang Jian felt the resonating power of Emperor Wang’s domain, a sense of surprise coursed through him. The fusion of the two elements within the domain reached a depth that commanded his respect.
A somber expression settled upon Wang Jian’s features as he recognized the gravity of the situation – underestimating Emperor Wang’s talent and strength was no longer an option.
Yet, despite this realization, Wang Jian wasn’t the slightest bit scared. Confidence flowed in his veins, stemming from his unshakable belief in the might and refinement of his own domain.
With a swift and determined hand gesture, Wang Jian prepared to unleash his own domain, the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain. This act wasn’t a reactionary move, but a strategic decision to confront Emperor Wang’s potent domain head-on.
Emperor Wang experienced a moment of astonishment as the power of Wang Jian’s domain washed over him.
The unexpected potency of the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain shook him.
What startled him even more was the realization that Wang Jian’s domain was not merely yielding but rather engaging in a fierce struggle against his Radiant Golden-Lightning Domain.
The fact that Wang Jian’s scorching flames could engage with Emperor Wang’s intricately woven combination of elemental energies marked a remarkable achievement.
Emperor Wang swiftly summoned forth his Majestic Golden Tiger Spirit, infusing it with his own power as it lunged at Wang Jian with ferocious intent.
The appearance of the majestic spirit seemed to bolster Emperor Wang’s Radiant Golden-Lightning Domain, imbuing it with an even greater force that momentarily subdued Wang Jian’s Scorching Solar Incineration Domain.
Undeterred, Wang Jian responded swiftly. He intensified his flames, ensuring the resilience of his domain against the overwhelming Radiant Golden-Lightning energy.
Concurrently, he unleashed his Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon, a manifestation of elemental might that significantly augmented his own domain’s strength, tilting the balance back in his favor.
The ensuing clash between the Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon and the Majestic Golden Tiger Spirit sent shockwaves of elemental energy cascading through the battlefield.
The interaction between their two domains created an ever-shifting tide of strength, sometimes favoring Wang Jian, at others favoring Emperor Wang.
Meanwhile, Emperor Wang himself was enveloped in an aura reminiscent of Dragon Qi, a telltale sign of his mastery over the Soaring Dragon Cultivation Technique.
Wang Jian sensed the resonance of this technique, acknowledging that Emperor Wang’s cultivation in it surpassed his own.
Unlike Wang Jian, who could only employ Dragon Qi for intimidation, Emperor Wang harnessed it to empower his attacks, a fact evident in the painful blows he landed on Wang Jian.
In the midst of this fierce confrontation, the domination of their elemental domains cast a profound influence.
The clash of Radiant Golden-Lightning and Scorching Solar Incineration suppressed the usage of all elements except those contained within their domains.
This limitation left Wang Jian with only his Solar Flames as his arsenal, preventing him from relying on his Spatial Element or any other elemental abilities.
Emperor Wang accelerated the tempo of his assault, aiming to inflict a barrage of injuries upon Wang Jian. The lingering devil bloodline within Wang Jian granted him a swift recovery capacity, yet Emperor Wang’s cunning incorporation of dragon qi into his attacks hindered this regenerative ability, stifling it considerably.
Meanwhile, Wang Jian’s focus sharpened, riveted on the Majestic Golden Tiger Spirit conjured by Emperor Wang.
The Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon responded to his intent, unleashing a torrent of blazing elemental assaults—fireballs ignited the air, scorching beams lanced through the battleground, and waves of searing flames devoured the terrain around the resplendent tiger.
While the Golden Tiger was an embodiment of the Gold Element, augmented by Emperor Wang’s indomitable spirit, the unrelenting barrage of Wang Jian’s attacks gradually eroded its strength. As the Golden Tiger’s strength waned, a crucial opportunity presented itself—the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain under Wang Jian’s command surged, overpowering Emperor Wang’s Radiant Golden-Lightning Domain momentarily.
In a blaze of exhilaration, Wang Jian seized the opening. Swiftly channeling his flames, he enveloped the vicinity around Emperor Wang with searing heat, casting fiery infernos that raged unrelentingly.
A barrage of explosive flames was unleashed upon Emperor Wang, the detonations releasing waves of scorching power that engulfed the battleground.
Even as Emperor Wang exerted his best efforts, bolstering his defenses through the invocation of the Dragon Qi, the Solar Flames proved insidious. Infiltrating the protective layers he had erected, the flames seared through his defenses, scalding his very core.
As the agonizing pain surged through Emperor Wang’s body, his once-confident fa?ade crumbled under the weight of the unexpected assault.
In a swift turn of events, the formidable Radiant Golden-Lightning Domain collapsed, shattered by Wang Jian’s unrelenting assault. Seizing the opening, Wang Jian unleashed another relentless barrage of attacks aimed at ensuring Emperor Wang’s demise.
Yet, defying the odds, Emperor Wang clung to life, weathering the storm of assaults despite his grave injuries. The once-majestic Golden Tiger spirit that had bolstered his strength had faltered and dissipated, much like his shattered domain.
Drawing near to the battered Emperor, Wang Jian’s eyes gleamed with a sinister glint, his lips curving into a wicked smile that bespoke his depraved intentions.
He taunted, his voice dripping with malicious amusement, “…Fear not, Father. I shall tend to the women in your harem with great care.”
As Emperor Wang turned a fiery glare toward Wang Jian, his gaze burning with a mixture of defiance and disbelief, his fate was sealed.
In a swift and seamless motion, Wang Jian manipulated the very essence of his fiery power, condensing it into a blade-like beam that swept through the air with lethal precision.
This searing, high-intensity flame cleaved through the space, connecting with Emperor Wang’s head and consuming his body, leaving him decapitated.
With Emperor Wang’s demise, Wang Jian turned his attention to the battlefield where Yue Yanling and Grand Elder Yi had been embroiled in their own combat. To Wang Jian’s satisfaction, they emerged victorious against their formidable adversary.
While their opponent wielded considerable strength, the scales were inevitably tipped in Yue Yanling and Grand Elder Yi’s favor due to Wang Jian’s strategic intervention. By employing the Soul Board skill to unveil their status windows and radically enhance their skills, Wang Jian had equipped them with unparalleled abilities that dwarfed their foe’s.
The culmination of their efforts had yielded an outcome that was, by all measures, inevitable—an overwhelming triumph.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm The news about Emperor Wang’s demise soon echoed across the entire Everlasting Mystical Empire. Moreover, another piece of news spread around that this death was caused by none other than Augustus Valerius.
These were naturally spread by none other than Wang Jian.
With his victory secured, Wang Jian’s next course of action was to reunite with the imprisoned members of the Jin Clan and the Dao of Alchemy Society, who had been held captive by the devil forces.
In due time, the members of both the Jin Clan and the Dao of Alchemy Society were assembled before Wang Jian, their expressions ranging from surprise to caution.
Among them, Jin Meixiang’s gaze held a hint of astonishment at the sight of Wang Jian within the devil’s camp. Her emotions seemed to waver between shock and gratitude, while Xu Yuting regarded Wang Jian with a more guarded and uncertain look.
“As you’re aware, I bear the bloodline of the devils. It’s this very fact that allowed me to negotiate with this devil clan for your release. Of course, in exchange for your freedom, I had to offer them some resources, though those resources pale in comparison to the value of your lives,” Wang Jian’s voice was tinged with a genuine sense of emotion as he addressed the gathered individuals.
The sincerity in Wang Jian’s words resonated with Jin Meixiang, who found herself moved by his compassion. She felt an impulse to step forward, to embrace Wang Jian and express her gratitude for rescuing her clan from the clutches of the devils. She knew that without his intervention, they would likely have faced unimaginable torment.
The Jin Clan members, despite their lingering reservations about Wang Jian’s devil bloodline, couldn’t deny the impact of his actions. Their cautious attitude was tempered by the recognition that, regardless of their opinions, his intervention had saved their lives.
Similarly, the members of the Dao of Alchemy Society were profoundly grateful to Wang Jian for his intervention. However, Xu Yuting couldn’t help but harbor a measure of suspicion towards his motives, unsure of the true intentions behind his actions.
Of course, Wang Jian’s benevolent act wasn’t without its own objectives. Beneath his compassionate exterior, he was not a mere altruist. He seized this opportunity to extend an invitation to both the Jin Clan and the Dao of Alchemy Society, urging them to join forces with his faction.
Both groups saw through the true intent behind Wang Jian’s intervention. It wasn’t just a rescue mission; it was a strategic move to bolster his own faction’s power and influence.
Acknowledging Wang Jian’s proposition, they willingly agreed to his terms, signing a pact that solidified their commitment to join his ranks and follow his directives.
With these formalities in place, Wang Jian took the lead, guiding them away from the clutches of the devil forces and towards the territory of his own burgeoning faction.
As they continued on their journey, a sudden and startling turn of events occurred.
Startling tidings reached their ears—a fierce clash had erupted between Augustus Valerius’s group and the forces of the Crown Prince. This wasn’t just any skirmish; it was a monumental collision involving multiple Emperor Realm experts. The ensuing battle wreaked havoc on the landscape, leaving it scarred and shattered in the wake of their ferocious confrontation.
The aftermath painted a grim picture: the Crown Prince himself was now conspicuously absent, his whereabouts shrouded in uncertainty. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝘯𝑒𝑡
Meanwhile, Augustus Valerius and his companions, bearing the physical toll of the brutal engagement, opted to retreat to their own Empire. The severity of their injuries was such that remaining in unfamiliar territory, while nursing their wounds, was deemed too perilous.
The once-mighty Emperor Realm experts who had rallied beneath the Crown Prince’s banner now found themselves in a weakened state, grappling with their own wounds. In light of their weakened state, Wang Jian saw a golden opportunity to seize the initiative.
It was crystal clear that the time had come to orchestrate the complete annihilation of the Crown Prince’s faction—a move that would reshape the balance of power in his favor.
