Chapter 440 Jiang Chen Challenges Draconic Prince To A Duel

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, a massive contingent of Jiang Chen’s forces departed from the Elemental Nexus Immortal Dominion. Their banners fluttered in the evening breeze as they made their way toward the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. The rhythmic clatter of armored soldiers and the low hum of various races intermingled, creating a diverse and formidable assembly.

However, much to the surprise of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, Jiang Chen’s forces didn’t immediately launch an attack. Instead, they strategically set up a camp at a prudent distance from the borders, creating an atmosphere of tense anticipation. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The following day, a lone envoy from Jiang Chen’s faction approached the gates of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. Adorned in intricate armor with the insignia of the Elemental Nexus Immortal Dominion, the envoy carried a message from Jiang Chen himself.

At the entrance, the guards of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion eyed the envoy with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. The envoy, however, approached with an air of confidence, presenting a sealed scroll bearing the distinctive emblem of the Elemental Nexus.

Once permitted entry, the envoy navigated the celestial landscapes of the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion. The ethereal beauty of the realm, with its floating islands and cascading waterfalls, formed a stark contrast to the brewing tension.

Within the inner sanctum, the envoy was ushered into the presence of the Draconic Clan and the Ancient Beast Races. The leaders, including the Dragon Prince, convened to receive the message from Jiang Chen.

In a chamber adorned with ancient runes and symbols, the envoy stood before the assembly and unsealed the scroll. The parchment bore Jiang Chen’s message, inscribed with deliberate precision.

“Esteemed Dragon Prince and leaders of the Ancient Beast Races, I, Jiang Chen, extend a challenge to the Dragon Prince for a one-on-one duel. This duel will take place outside the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, where the eyes of the world may witness our clash. I am confident in my strength, and I invite you to prove yours on this grand stage. Let our battle resonate through the realms, a testament to the might of both our races.”

A moment of silence lingered in the chamber as the Dragon Prince absorbed the words. A subtle sneer played across his draconic visage.

“The Draconic Clan need not prove their strength to anyone, least of all to one of lowly Ancient Devils,” the Dragon Prince remarked with disdain. “Yet, I will indulge this challenge. Let Jiang Chen be the sacrificial lamb to showcase the power of the Draconic Clan and the Ancient Beast Races to the world.”

With a wave of his hand, the Dragon Prince signaled his acceptance of the duel. The envoy, maintaining composure, conveyed the Dragon Prince’s response back to Jiang Chen’s forces.

As the envoy departed the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion, the world held its breath in anticipation of the impending duel—a clash that would echo across the realms and shape the destiny of the entire world.

The chosen battleground lay in an expanse far removed from prying eyes, devoid of any signs of civilization. A desolate plain, untouched by the machinations of war, awaited the clash between two formidable beings—Jiang Chen and the Dragon Prince.

As the two adversaries approached each other, a silent understanding permeated the air. The people in Jiang Chen’s camp watched the unfolding spectacle from a distance, their eyes fixed on unique artifacts, crafted and distributed by the Everlasting Mystical Empire. These artifacts, known as “Television,” transmitted live images and videos of the impending battle, ensuring that every nuance and exchange would be witnessed by those eager to see the outcome.

Jiang Chen and the Dragon Prince stood facing each other, a charged tension between them as they exchanged a few words before the commencement of their duel.

Jiang Chen, his presence emanating a kaleidoscope of energies, spoke with a measured tone, “Dragon Prince, this battle will decide the fate of our realms. Let it be a testament to our strengths and the paths we walk.”

The Dragon Prince, his azure draconic eyes gleaming with ancient wisdom, responded in a voice that echoed with draconic authority, “Jiang Chen, your challenge will not go unanswered. Prepare to witness the might of the Draconic Clan and the Ancient Beast Races.”

With mutual acknowledgment, the two combatants stepped back, creating a palpable distance between them. As they prepared to unleash their full power, the air became charged with anticipation, like the calm before a storm.

The Dragon Prince’s aura surged forth, an azure energy that resonated with the essence of the draconic. It possessed a dominating authority, a force capable of subduing anything it touched. Even the very laws of the world seemed to bow in deference to the Dragon Prince’s majestic presence.

In response, Jiang Chen’s body radiated a harmonious blend of energies.

Flames with the essence of the Vermillion Bird flickered around him, casting a warm radiance. The Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword pulsed with electric energy, crackling with the power of lightning storms. The demonic bloodline energy of the Heavenly Asura Devil Clan emanated an aura of darkness and dominance. A minor Draconic Aura, a relic of his devil draconic bloodline, intertwined with the rest. The pure ice essence of the Frost Giant lent an aura of frigid resilience. Lastly, the Law of Annihilation, an overwhelming force seeking to dissolve everything into nothingness, permeated his being.

The combination of these potent forces formed an aura that rivaled the Dragon Prince’s own dominion. The air crackled with the clash of elemental energies, creating an ethereal symphony of power.

Even Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be surprised at the equilibrium of their auras.

Despite wielding an amalgamation of formidable abilities, his aura matched the Dragon Prince’s, not surpassing it.

The revelation sparked a flicker of curiosity in Jiang Chen’s eyes, but he quickly composed himself, redirecting his focus to the imminent battle.

The Dragon Prince, too, observed the display with a hint of astonishment. He recognized the significance of Jiang Chen’s diverse powers and realized the gravity of the impending confrontation.

With a solemn expression, the Dragon Prince commented, “You possess a fragment of the World’s Essence. I see now why you are so powerful. You definitely can rival me then.”

With the acknowledgment of their equal prowess and a shared understanding of the stakes, the stage was set for a confrontation that would reverberate through the realms, determining the destiny of the Central Region.

The silence that hung over the battlefield was a mere prelude to the tempest that was about to be unleashed.

The battlefield crackled with anticipation as Jiang Chen and the Dragon Prince prepared for the clash that would echo through the realms. The air itself seemed to tremble with the impending confrontation.

Jiang Chen, his gaze focused and resolute, initiated the exchange.

With a swift motion, he unsheathed the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword, its blue radiance illuminating the surroundings.

The Dragon Prince responded in kind, his scales shimmering as he summoned the Azure Draconic Barrier, a protective shield formed from the essence of the Draconic Clan.

The initial strike was a mere prelude to the grand spectacle that followed. Jiang Chen, fueled by the Law of Annihilation, unleashed the “Abyssal Sundering Wave,” a devastating technique that sent shockwaves through the air, threatening to obliterate everything in its path.

The Dragon Prince countered with the “Azure Warding Flames,” conjuring ethereal flames that repelled the abyssal energies.

Undeterred, Jiang Chen infused the “Frostbite’s Embrace,” channeling the pure Ice Essence of the Frost Giant. The freezing chill sought to encase the Dragon Prince in an icy prison.

However, the Dragon Prince, drawing upon his draconic heritage, countered with the “Inferno Roar,” a burst of draconic fire that melted the encroaching frost.

As the battlefield echoed with the clash of elemental forces, Jiang Chen activated the “Demonic Onslaught,” empowering his attacks with the Demonic Bloodline Energy of the Heavenly Asura Devil Clan.

The Dragon Prince, undaunted, invoked the “Draconic Dominion,” asserting his draconic authority to resist the demonic onslaught.

In response, the Dragon Prince unleashed a torrent of azure lightning with the “Draconic Thunderstorm,” a manifestation of his mastery over draconic energies.

Jiang Chen, embracing the powers of the Nine Heavenly Lightning Sword, countered with the “Celestial Lightning Dance,” a dance of lightning arcs that wove through the draconic storm.

The battlefield transformed into a symphony of clashes and counterattacks. Jiang Chen, seizing the opportunity, invoked the “Vermillion Phoenix Soars,” allowing the flames with the essence of the Vermillion Bird to engulf his attacks.

The Dragon Prince activated the “Scaleforge Resilience,” to strengthen his body.

The back-and-forth continued, each combatant pushing the other to the limits of their abilities. Jiang Chen, tapping into his minor Draconic Bloodline, executed the “Dragon’s Fury,” a surge of draconic power enhancing his strikes.

The Dragon Prince, asserting his dominance, employed the “Draconic Roar,” a bellow that echoed with the authority of the Draconic Clan, disrupting Jiang Chen’s focus.

As the battle raged on, Jiang Chen unleashed the “Frostfire Tempest,” a fusion of ice and fire that created a swirling tempest of contrasting elements.

The Dragon Prince responded with the “Azure Tempest,” an expulsion of draconic energies that sought to counter the volatile combination.

The ground beneath them cracked and trembled with the intensity of their clash. Jiang Chen, his eyes ablaze with determination, activated the “Devil’s Embrace,” drawing upon the dark energies of the Heavenly Asura Devil Clan.

The Dragon Prince, unyielding, summoned the “Draconic Stormcaller,” invoking a tempest of draconic forces to repel the encroaching darkness.

In the midst of this elemental dance, the combatants exhibited a mastery of their respective powers. Jiang Chen, aware that the Dragon Prince had yet to unleash his full might, began to integrate the Law of Annihilation more seamlessly into his attacks. The Dragon Prince, sensing Jiang Chen’s growing prowess, decided to elevate the battle to new heights.

With a resolute gaze, the Dragon Prince invoked the “Draconic Sovereignty,” an ancient technique that harnessed the full extent of his draconic heritage. His aura surged, creating a domineering presence that overshadowed the battlefield.

Jiang Chen, recognizing the shift in the Dragon Prince’s demeanor, knew that the true battle was about to unfold. The warm-up had been a mere prelude to the grand spectacle that awaited.
