The battlefield erupted in a whirlwind of chaos as Tristan unleashed his Storm Devil God Fury, his demonic aura crackling with formidable power. Infused with peak level insight of laws, his Storm Technique was a force to be reckoned with.
Tristan struck first, launching a Lightning Surge, a surge of crackling electricity that surged towards Wang Jian.
With a swift sidestep, Wang Jian narrowly avoided the attack, countering with a Blazing Torrent, a torrent of searing flames that surged towards Tristan.
The flames licked at Tristan's defenses, forcing him to retreat momentarily.
Undeterred, Tristan retaliated with a Tempest Bolt, a focused blast of swirling winds and lightning. Wang Jian weaved through the onslaught, his movements fluid and agile.
He countered with an Inferno Burst, a burst of intense flames that engulfed Tristan's space, forcing him to dodge and evade.
The battle intensified as they closed the distance, engaging in blistering close-quarters combat.
Wang Jian delivered a rapid series of strikes, each blow infused with scorching flames.
Tristan deflected the attacks with calculated precision, countering with a Thundering Wave, a powerful shockwave that rippled through the ground, threatening to knock Wang Jian off balance.
Wang Jian pivoted, evading the shockwave, and retaliated with a Fiery Cyclone, a spinning vortex of flames that spiraled towards Tristan.
The fiery tempest consumed the air, forcing Tristan to summon a Storm Shield, a swirling barrier of lightning and wind that absorbed the flames.
Tristan pressed forward, launching a Storm Surge, a surge of powerful wind and water that surged towards Wang Jian.
Wang Jian deftly dodged, his instincts honed to anticipate Tristan's movements. He retaliated with a Flame Nova, a burst of explosive flames that erupted around Tristan, engulfing him in scorching heat.
The battle reached its crescendo as both fighters unleashed devastating attacks.
Tristan conjured a Thunderstorm Tempest, a maelstrom of lightning and wind that tore through the battlefield.
Wang Jian summoned the Inferno Comet, a blazing projectile that streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.
Their attacks collided in a clash of elemental fury, the ground shaking beneath their feet.
Wang Jian struggled to hold his ground, his flames flickering against the overwhelming might of Tristan's Storm Devil God Fury.
With each strike, Wang Jian relied on his instincts and quick thinking, finding openings amidst the storm of attacks.
Unbeknownst to Tristan, Wang Jian wasn't merely relying on pre-existing techniques. Instead, he was creating new techniques on the spot, utilizing his medium-level insight in the Laws of Flame.
As flames flickered and danced around him, Wang Jian crafted unique and powerful techniques on the fly, shaping the very essence of fire to suit his needs.
He realized that Tristan, too, was honing his skills in the midst of their clash.
The techniques unleashed by Tristan were born in the crucible of their battle, a testament to his growing mastery over the Storm Devil God Fury technique.
However, Wang Jian sensed that Tristan was deliberately holding back a considerable amount of his power.
It seemed that Tristan saw him as a means to sharpen his own skills and enhance his control over the Storm Devil God Fury.
Wang Jian frowned, realizing that the longer Tristan possessed this power, the greater his chances of gaining insight into the high-level Laws of Storm, encompassing Wind, Lightning, and Water.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Jian made a decisive choice. It was time to unleash his trump card, but he needed to set the stage first, ensuring that his true power would remain concealed.
In a powerful display of spiritual energy, Wang Jian summoned forth his Spirit, the Dark Flame Double-Headed River Dragon.
The majestic creature materialized, its ethereal form blending with Wang Jian's qi and spiritual energy.
With a resounding roar, the dragon emitted a burst of fiery Laws of Flame, creating a protective barrier around them.
Tristan scoffed at the feeble barrier, underestimating its purpose. Little did he know that it wasn't meant to contain him, but rather to conceal the true depths of Wang Jian's power. Wang Jian's voice took on a sinister tone as he spoke, his intentions clear.
"It's not to contain you, but to shroud the secrets of my true strength," Wang Jian replied with a smirk, his voice laced with a newfound confidence.
As the barrier enveloped them, Wang Jian tapped into his dormant Devil Bloodline, channeling the potent Devil Qi that coursed through his veins. This was the first time he had unleashed his demonic powers within the borders of the Everlasting Mystic Empire.
A dark blue aura emanated from Wang Jian's body, instantly catching Tristan's attention. He sensed the unmistakable taint of demonic energy and his eyes widened in shock.
The revelation left him stuttering, "Y-You're a devil?"
Wang Jian's smirk widened, his red eyes burning with intensity. "More accurately, a human-devil hybrid," he retorted.
The dark aura transformed Wang Jian's appearance, his silver hair now a striking navy blue, while his once blue eyes blazed with a vibrant red hue.
Wang Jian's transformation had stirred a distant memory within Tristan, one that brought forth images of the ominous red moon that hung in the demon realm. On the lunar eclipse, the moon would shine with an azure blue light.
Tristan couldn't help but make a connection, his voice filled with disbelief, "Navy hair and those red eyes... These are the features of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan!"
With a grin on his face, Wang Jian taunted, "Well, thanks for waiting for the transformation. Let's fight seriously now."
The second round of their battle was about to commence, and the intensity in the air was palpable.
Wang Jian wasted no time in unleashing his newfound power. The first technique he employed was the Moonshadow Step, followed by the Moonrise Fist.
These techniques, combined with the full potential of his true bloodline, granted him an unprecedented level of strength.
As Wang Jian executed the Moonshadow Step, his speed became incomprehensible to Tristan. His figure blurred, seemingly teleporting to Tristan's right side in an instant, where a powerful punch struck his chest with resounding force.
The impact sent shockwaves coursing through Tristan's body, akin to being struck by Wang Hao himself when the latter was utilizing his Laws of Fist.
The sheer force behind Wang Jian's punches was a result of two factors. First, his passive Enhanced Strength skill lent him tremendous power.
Second, by infusing his Moonrise Fist with both Demonic Energy and Moon Energy, he unlocked its full potential. Previously, he had utilized Moon Energy solely to conceal the malevolent demonic energy within him, but now it was unleashed in all its glory.
Thus began a one-sided assault as Wang Jian unleashed a relentless barrage of punches upon Tristan.
Tristan utilized his powerful demonic qi and the insights in Laws of Storm to quickly jump back and gain some distance.
The powerful combination of devil techniques and enhanced physical strength overwhelmed his opponent, forcing Tristan to rely on his demonic qi and the insights gained from the Storm Devil God Fury to create distance.
Tristan swiftly retreated, utilizing his heightened demonic qi and the Laws of Storm to launch a series of devastating long-range attacks at Wang Jian.
The air crackled with energy as bolts of lightning danced, interweaving with gusts of wind and surges of water.
Each attack carried the weight of Tristan's formidable power, aimed to wear down Wang Jian's defenses.
But Wang Jian, fueled by his Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Bloodline, tapped into his arsenal of techniques with precision and finesse.
He effortlessly dodged Tristan's powerful projectile attacks, weaving through the onslaught with his Moonshadow Step technique, his figure blurring and disappearing into the shadows.
With a burst of devil energy and moon energy, Wang Jian retaliated, launching himself towards Tristan with the speed of a shooting star.
Wang Jian's Origin Fist collided with Tristan's Thunderwave Punch, sending shockwaves reverberating through the air.
As the battle raged on, Wang Jian's Moonrise Fist met Tristan's Tempest Kick, resulting in a cataclysmic explosion that sent shockwaves rippling outward.
Wang Jian, his senses honed and his reflexes razor-sharp, countered Tristan's Water Surge Rush with a skillful display of footwork and evasive maneuvers.
The field became a dance of power and technique as Wang Jian conjured a Lunar Shield, a formidable barrier formed of pure devil and moon energies, to withstand Tristan's onslaught.
Undeterred, Tristan launched a powerful Torrential Gale Blade, conjuring swirling winds and slicing waves of water. But Wang Jian, with his Mystic Force bolstering his strength and focus, pushed through the tempest unscathed.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Jian utilized Shadow Manipulation to manipulate the shadows, the tendrils of darkness coiling around Tristan, restricting his movements and delivering debilitating strikes.
Tristan's heart raced as the tendrils of darkness coiled around him, sending a chill down his spine. The shadowy aura emanating from the encroaching darkness triggered a deep-seated sense of foreboding within him.
It was all too familiar—the same sinister presence he had sensed when his comrades were mercilessly slaughtered within the depths of a desolate cave by mysterious shadows.
In that moment, Tristan's eyes widened with a mixture of shock and realization. The truth dawned upon him like a thunderclap—it was none other than Wang Jian, his current opponent, who had unleashed that devastating attack.
Determined not to succumb without a fight, Tristan clamped his teeth together, his resolve unwavering. With a fierce determination burning in his eyes, he reached into the depths of his Spatial Ring.
In a resolute display of defiance, Tristan shattered the two hearts harvested from fallen Lord Realm warriors, unleashing a torrent of dormant energy that surged through his veins.
The ethereal essence within these hearts coursed within him, revitalizing his weary body.
Meanwhile, he also destroyed a heart belonging to a King Realm expert. This caused his Storm Devil God Fury to be infused with newfound vigor.
