Chapter 412 Wraith Race Gets Exposed By Wang Jian
As the intense battle unfolded, Xuan Tian's realization dawned—Wang Jian was no ordinary Saint Realm expert. The typical narrative, where a Saint Realm cultivator would inevitably succumb to an Immortal Realm opponent, was unraveling before his eyes. Wang Jian, with his Dragon Qi-infused physique and formidable strength, defied the conventional expectations.
Despite the Vibrational Domain's relentless attempts to reduce Wang Jian's speed, he relentlessly pushed forward, closing the distance between himself and Xuan Tian. Gritting his teeth upon witnessing Wang Jian's relentless pursuit, Xuan Tian acknowledged the urgency of the situation.
Clenching his fists, Xuan Tian weighed his options. He had no other choice. Swiftly dispersing the Vibrational Domain, Xuan Tian hoped to escape Wang Jian's pursuit. However, the Saint Realm cultivator displayed a burst of superhuman speed, leveraging the Lightning Laws to enhance his already formidable agility.
To Xuan Tian's surprise, Wang Jian seemed to anticipate the dispersal of the Vibrational Domain. As the domain dissipated, Wang Jian utilized the power of Lightning Laws, reaching a speed that bordered on supernatural.
Closing in on Xuan Tian, it became evident that Wang Jian had carefully planned this moment.
However, Xuan Tian, demonstrating quick thinking, activated a powerful talisman as a last resort. The talisman's energies enveloped him, creating a fleeting window of opportunity.
In an instant, the teleportation technique was executed, taking Xuan Tian away from the battlefield and having him reappear in the safety of the Heavenly Court.
The battlefield now stood silent, the echoes of the intense confrontation lingering. Wang Jian, though deprived of a complete victory, wore a satisfied smirk. He had proven that the boundaries of cultivation were not as rigid as believed, defying expectations and showcasing the strength of his unique path.
As Xuan Tian reappeared within the protective confines of the Heavenly Court, he took a moment to catch his breath. The encounter had shattered preconceived notions, leaving him to contemplate the implications of facing a Saint Realm cultivator of such caliber.
The abrupt disappearance left Wang Jian momentarily suspended in the momentum of his pursuit, his outstretched hand grasping at empty air. The battlefield fell silent as the clash between the Saint and Immortal Realm experts came to an unexpected halt.
Wang Jian, with a faint smirk, muttered to himself, "Well, that was rather anticlimactic."
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Xuan Tian's arrival drew the attention of his fellow Immortal Realm experts. Disoriented and panting, he recounted the unexpected clash with the enigmatic Saint Realm cultivator.
"An Immortal Realm expert escaping from a Saint Realm cultivator? Unbelievable," murmured one of his peers.
Xuan Tian, still processing the encounter, responded with a mix of frustration and curiosity, "This one is not an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator. There's something different about him."
As the Heavenly Court buzzed with discussions and speculations, one thing became clear—the narrative of cultivation had been challenged, and the enigma of Wang Jian lingered, casting a shadow over the conventional understanding of power and realms.
Days passed, and Xuan Tian found himself deep in discussions with his fellow Immortal Realm experts. As they exchanged insights and analyzed the peculiar encounter with the formidable Saint Realm cultivator, a realization began to crystallize.
One of Xuan Tian's comrades, an astute observer, voiced his thoughts, "You know, that Saint Realm cultivator—we believe he might be none other than Emperor Wang, the ruler of the Southern Region and leader of one of the Great Factions."
The revelation struck Xuan Tian like a bolt of lightning, regret welling up within him. He rubbed his temples, processing the implications. "Emperor Wang? Are you certain?"
Another Immortal Realm expert chimed in, "Absolutely. Reports have surfaced, linking the distinct techniques and characteristics displayed by that Saint Realm cultivator to Emperor Wang's known abilities."
Xuan Tian couldn't shake the realization that he had missed a significant opportunity. If he had recognized Emperor Wang during their clash, he could have employed forbidden techniques or utilized powerful artifacts to ensure the capture of such a prominent figure. The Heavenly Court would undoubtedly have rewarded him handsomely for apprehending the leader of a major faction.
Frustration crept into Xuan Tian's voice as he muttered, "If I had known, I would have taken a different approach. Opportunities like that don't come often."
His comrade sympathized, "It happens to the best of us. You couldn't have known it was him in that situation. Besides, he had used his Devil Bloodline intelligently to fool you."
As discussions continued, the weight of the missed opportunity lingered over Xuan Tian. The chance to capture Emperor Wang, a figure of immense influence, had slipped through his fingers, leaving a bitter taste of regret. There was no way to undo the mistake, and Xuan Tian grappled with the consequences of underestimating the true identity of his formidable opponent.
Having dealt with the aftermath of his encounter with Xuan Tian, Wang Jian turned his attention to the lingering issue at hand.
The first thing that Wang Jian did was kill Sun Lei. It was due to this guy that Xuan Tian had come to this spot and Wang Jian was forced to fight against him.
Utilizing his Shadow Attribute, he moved swiftly, concealing himself in the shadows as he observed the ongoing battle between the Heavenly Court's experts and the Silver Asura Devil Dominion.
Aware of the Heavenly Court's nefarious schemes, Wang Jian was determined to thwart their plans. His attention focused on the looming threat posed by the Wraith Race, manipulating the mind of the powerful Cerberus Spirit.
Wang Jian navigated the shadows to reach the location where the Wraith Race exerted their influence. As he arrived, he unleashed a series of attacks, each strike resonating with destructive force.
The impact seemed to strike thin air, but the aftermath revealed the ethereal spirits of the Wraith Race. Thousands of these ghost-like entities materialized, exposing the hidden machinations at play.
Devils within the Silver Asura Devil Dominion sensed the disturbance, their instincts warning them of the Heavenly Court's malevolent scheme. Murmurs and uneasy glances spread among the devils as they grappled with the realization that they had become unwitting pawns in a greater plot.
On the other side, the experts of the Heavenly Court, engaged in combat against the Devil Race, the Dwarven Race, and the Giant Race, were taken aback. Ugly expressions etched across their faces as the revelation of the Wraith Race's involvement unveiled the true complexity of the situation.
One Heavenly Court expert muttered, "Damnit! How could the Wraith Race be exposed like this?!"
Another, more agitated, responded, "This changes everything. We need to reevaluate our strategy."
Meanwhile, Wang Jian, still concealed in the shadows, observed the chaos he had unleashed.
As the revelation of the Wraith Race's involvement sent shockwaves through the battlefield, the experts of the Heavenly Court quickly recalibrated their strategy. Sensing the shifting tide, they began a strategic withdrawal, attempting to regroup and reassess the situation.
On the opposing side, the Devil Race, Dwarven Race, and Giant Race seized the opportunity. The members of the Wraith Race, exposed and vulnerable, became prime targets. The battlefield erupted into chaos as the Devil Saints, Dwarven warriors, and Giant warriors engaged in fierce combat.
A Devil Saint named Zephyr Fiend launched a devastating technique called "Infernal Tempest," creating a swirling vortex of hellfire that engulfed a group of Wraith Spirits. Their ghostly forms writhed in agony as the intense flames consumed them.
Simultaneously, a Dwarven warrior named Boulderforge Thunderclap employed his signature move, "Stoneheart Cleave." With his mighty axe, he cleaved through the ethereal bodies of the Wraith Spirits, dispersing them with each swing.
Amidst the chaos, a Giant warrior named Thunderous Titan unleashed a powerful shockwave called "Earthquake Fury," shaking the very ground beneath the Wraith Spirits' incorporeal feet and disrupting their spectral forms.
The Wraith Spirits, realizing the dire predicament they were in, attempted to retaliate. Some of them wielded an ability known as "Veil of Shadows," attempting to cloak themselves in darkness and escape detection. However, the swift Devil Saints easily saw through this feeble attempt.
Others relied on an ability called "Ephemeral Distortion," a fleeting distortion of reality designed to disorient their adversaries. Yet, faced with the relentless onslaught of attacks from the Devil Race, Dwarven Race, and Giant Race, these attempts proved ineffective.
The majority of the Wraith Spirits found themselves unable to withstand the onslaught and faced imminent destruction. Desperation set in, and their attempts to escape became increasingly futile.
At this critical juncture, the Heavenly Court's experts intervened. Utilizing powerful artifacts, they created barriers and distractions to aid the fleeing Wraith Spirits.
One expert with the title Heavenly Gale, summoned the "Sacred Veil," a defensive artifact that shielded the retreating spirits from the onslaught.
Another expert, Radiant Sunbeam Sage, channeled the "Luminous Resonance Beam," a dazzling beam of light that momentarily blinded the pursuers, allowing the remaining Wraith Spirits a chance to slip away.
However, Wang Jian, ever vigilant, moved swiftly amidst the chaos. His Shadow Attribute allowed him to navigate the battlefield undetected. Using Dark Tendrils, he ensnared several Wraith Spirits, preventing their escape.
