As the battle raged on, Wang Jian's dominance over the group of Heavenly Court experts became increasingly evident. His Solar Flames raged like a tempest, and his fiery onslaught showed no signs of waning. The Heavenly Court experts, who had initially intended to teach him a lesson, found themselves on the defensive.
Elder Kong, his face etched with determination, took a step forward. "Let us end this," he declared, his voice resonating with authority. In a burst of energy, a majestic beast spirit emerged from him. It was a Silvermoon Frost Serpent, a creature known for its icy elemental powers.
The Silvermoon Frost Serpent expanded its domain, creating an otherworldly chill that filled the battlefield. A frozen landscape, replete with towering ice formations, appeared within the serpent's domain. The Heavenly Court's expertise in elemental mastery was now on full display.
Elder Jia followed suit, summoning his own beast spirit, the Thunderclap Storm Hawk. With a deafening thunderclap, the domain expanded, transforming the battlefield into a tempest of swirling winds and lightning strikes. The Thunderclap Storm Hawk, with its ferocity, was a sight to behold.
Elder Chen, another expert of the Heavenly Court, released his Crimson Earthquake Ape. The domain it created was one of upheaval and tremors, with the very ground shaking and cracking. His mastery over the earth element was awe-inspiring.
Lastly, Elder Lin, the fourth expert, called upon the Azure Sea Serpent. His domain manifested as a vast expanse of water, with surging tides and crashing waves. The Azure Sea Serpent's control over water was unparalleled.
Wang Jian was undaunted by their display of power. He knew that he had a powerful ally—the Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon. This formidable beast spirit was an embodiment of his mastery over the flame element. As the dragon manifested, it filled the entire battlefield with its presence, and its domain, the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain, was a sight to behold.
Within this domain, the intensity of the Solar Flames reached unparalleled levels. Flames danced like scorching tendrils, and the air itself seemed to shimmer from the heat. It was a testament to Wang Jian's mastery over the flame element.
The battle between the Heavenly Court experts and Wang Jian now unfolded within the unique domains created by their respective beast spirits. The Silvermoon Frost Serpent's icy domain clashed with the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain, creating dramatic clashes of fire and ice.
The Thunderclap Storm Hawk unleashed lightning and gales, trying to overpower Wang Jian's domain. The earth-shaking upheaval caused by the Crimson Earthquake Ape rumbled against the fiery domain, while the Azure Sea Serpent's water domain tried to douse the flames.
The clash was nothing short of spectacular. Wang Jian's mastery over his domain allowed him to hold his own against the experts of the Heavenly Court. The Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon's might was undeniable, and its fiery breath and energy wreaked havoc within their domains.
The Heavenly Court experts had expected to face a newly ascended Saint Realm cultivator, but what they encountered was a force to be reckoned with. Wang Jian's prowess, combined with the might of the Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon, was overwhelming.
As the battle continued, Wang Jian's confidence grew. He had faced adversity and emerged victorious, and it was clear that even as a newcomer to the Saint Realm, he was a force of nature. The Heavenly Court experts, veterans though they were, began to question their chances of victory against this extraordinary opponent.
Wang Jian, his Scorching Solar Incineration Domain still blazing around him, had brought the four experts of the Heavenly Court to their knees. Their once-proud domains, each tied to a formidable beast spirit, had faltered in the face of his relentless assault.
The Silvermoon Frost Serpent, its icy domain in tatters, shivered under the onslaught of the Solar Flames. Elder Kong, his expression strained, found himself unable to summon the serpent's full power.
Elder Jia, the Thunderclap Storm Hawk's master, gritted his teeth as lightning arced erratically within his faltering domain. The Thunderclap Storm Hawk, usually a symbol of his dominance over storms, was now a flickering tempest.
Elder Chen, who had commanded the Crimson Earthquake Ape, struggled to maintain his domain's integrity. The earth beneath his feet trembled, but it was a pale imitation of its former might.
The Azure Sea Serpent, under Elder Lin's control, churned in its watery domain, but the once-mighty waves had lost their potency.
Wang Jian's mastery over the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain was unparalleled. He had not only defeated the Heavenly Court experts but had gravely injured them. His fiery qi had filled their meridians, rendering them powerless and unable to move.
With a determined gleam in his eyes, Wang Jian captured his defeated foes, one by one. Their struggle was in vain as he transported them to the Heavenly Lotus Sect's territory and imprisoned them in a secure dungeon.
Within the confines of the prison, Wang Jian wasted no time. He interrogated the Heavenly Court experts relentlessly, determined to uncover the secrets of the enigmatic organization that had sought to summon him.
The torture was merciless, with every imaginable method employed to break their resolve. Wang Jian was unwavering in his pursuit of information, and he left no room for defiance.
The four Heavenly Court experts, battered and broken, eventually divulged their secrets. They revealed that the Heavenly Court had long manipulated the major factions of humans from the shadows, ensuring that they maintained their dominant position.
Their justifications were noble on the surface—they claimed to support the humans and safeguard their position as the dominant race on the continent. But the truth was far more sinister.
When asked why the Heavenly Court did not intervene in the face of threats from the devils or other races, the experts offered a perplexing explanation. They spoke through clenched teeth, their pain evident.
"The Heavenly Court believes that the time has come for each race to reveal their true potential," one of them explained. "We have allowed the races to act freely, observing their talents and power. The humans, devils, Sea Monsters, Giants, Barbarians, Dwarves, Angels, and even the elusive Elves—they all have amassed strength. The Heavenly Court seeks to gauge the full extent of this power."
Wang Jian, despite his anger and frustration, couldn't help but be impressed by the strategic foresight of the Heavenly Court's plan. It was a calculated move to assess and prepare for all potential threats, a way to understand the capabilities of each race.
In his heart, he acknowledged that he might have devised a similar plan if he were in their position. The Heavenly Court's actions, while shrouded in secrecy, were not without a semblance of logic.
As the interrogation concluded and the Heavenly Court experts lay broken and defeated, Wang Jian couldn't help but ponder the implications of what he had learned. The balance of power on the continent was a delicate one, and the Heavenly Court's actions had far-reaching consequences.
The Heavenly Court experts, their bodies battered and their spirits broken, couldn't help but wonder when Wang Jian would release them from their imprisonment. Internally, they harbored thoughts of retribution, plotting to return to their faction and rally their superiors to seek vengeance against Wang Jian for the humiliation they had endured.
It was Elder Kong, with his icy Silvermoon Frost Serpent, who finally spoke up. "Wang Jian, you've had your fun. When will you free us? You can't keep us imprisoned forever."
Elder Jia, the master of the Thunderclap Storm Hawk, echoed the sentiment. "Indeed, we have information, and we can be valuable assets. What do you want from us in exchange for our release?"
Wang Jian, his expression enigmatic, regarded them for a moment before responding. "I won't let you go so easily. There's a task I have in mind, and you will help me with it."
The Heavenly Court experts exchanged wary glances. "What task?" Elder Chen, the controller of the Crimson Earthquake Ape, asked cautiously.
Wang Jian's lips curled into a sly grin. "You'll be dealing with the Barbarian Race in the Southern Region."
Their eyes widened in surprise. The Barbarian Race was known for its formidable warriors and relentless aggression. It was not a task to be taken lightly.
Elder Lin, who commanded the Azure Sea Serpent, voiced their collective confusion. "Why would you care about the Barbarian Race? What's in it for you?"
Wang Jian's tone turned serious. "I don't care about the Heavenly Court's plans or politics. I have my own goals, and one of them is to ensure that the Barbarian Race poses no threat to the Human Empires in the Southern Region."
He leaned in closer, his eyes narrowing with determination. "You'll help me achieve this. In return, I might consider releasing you."
The Heavenly Court experts were taken aback by Wang Jian's resolute stance. They had expected negotiations, perhaps even leniency, but he made it clear that his objectives were paramount.
Elder Kong hesitated before asking, "What guarantee do we have that you'll uphold your end of the bargain?"
Wang Jian chuckled, a wry smile playing on his lips. "You have no guarantee other than my word. But I suggest you consider your options carefully. You can cooperate and potentially earn your freedom, or you can remain here as my prisoners indefinitely."
Their predicament was undeniable, and Wang Jian's determination was unwavering. The Heavenly Court experts had little choice but to acquiesce to his demands, knowing that their future rested in his hands.
