Chapter 208 Outliving His Usefulness
Tristan’s newfound surge of strength empowered him to shatter the constricting shadows that threatened to bind him. His eyes blazed with a potent mix of determination and fury as he locked his gaze upon Wang Jian.
With an abrupt motion, he thrust his hands forward, unleashing a colossal beam of unparalleled magnitude.
Crackling with the combined essence of lightning and water, infused with the pinnacle of their respective laws and suffused with seething demonic qi, the beam swelled to a formidable diameter.
Awe-inspiring in its intensity, the beam surged forth, a maelstrom of destruction ready to obliterate anything that dared cross its path. Its sheer power could lay waste to the mightiest of fortresses or reduce the sturdiest of defenses to mere ashes.
Yet, Wang Jian, poised in the face of this cataclysmic onslaught, remained unnervingly composed.
A flicker of determination danced in his eyes as he decided to act.
With an otherworldly command, one of the heads of his Dark Flame Double-Headed River Dragon spirit exhaled a torrent of potent demonic qi, enveloping Wang Jian in an ominous shroud.
Mastery and finesse coalesced within him as he deftly interwove the swirling demonic qi with his ethereal Moon Qi.
These two energies merged seamlessly, birthing a radiant Lunar Shield before him, an impregnable bulwark against the approaching cataclysm.
Time seemed to slow as the lightning-infused water beam collided with the Lunar Shield.
A cataclysmic shockwave erupted, reverberating through the very fabric of the battlefield.
The clash of elemental forces unleashed a symphony of raw power, tearing apart the air and rending the ground asunder.
A blinding surge of energy rippled outward, illuminating the surrounding landscape in an iridescent glow.
Trees were uprooted, their trunks splintered like kindling, and the ground beneath their feet quivered with an unyielding tremor.
The shockwave surged relentlessly, ripping through the very essence of their surroundings, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
In the midst of this chaos, Wang Jian stood resolute, his Lunar Shield pulsating with an ethereal radiance.
The shield strained against the onslaught, quivering with defiance, as though challenging the cataclysm to breach its impenetrable barrier.
As the realization dawned upon Tristan that his mighty beam was powerless against Wang Jian’s indomitable Lunar Shield, he abruptly ceased its release.
A brief flicker of frustration danced across his features, only to be swiftly replaced by a steely resolve.
In a flash, Tristan propelled himself towards Wang Jian with unparalleled speed, his movements akin to a lightning bolt slicing through the darkness.
The clash commenced with explosive force. Tristan’s Storm Technique, infused with the peak level insight of the laws of wind, lightning, and water, surged through his veins.
He unleashed a relentless barrage of strikes, employing his mastery of various martial arts disciplines.
Each punch, kick, and elbow carried the weight of a tempest, aiming to shatter Wang Jian’s defenses.
But Wang Jian, with his exceptional agility and honed combat skills, evaded Tristan’s onslaught with a dancer’s grace.
His Moonshadow Step allowed him to glide effortlessly across the battlefield, evading Tristan’s lightning-fast strikes.
The Lunar Shield, powered by devil and moon energies, materialized as a formidable barrier, effortlessly repelling Tristan’s attacks.
Undeterred, Tristan unleashed a devastating sequence of techniques.
He launched the Thunderfall Kick, a powerful aerial assault that descended upon Wang Jian like a lightning bolt.
But Wang Jian’s Moonrise Fist met the challenge head-on, countering Tristan’s attack with an explosive display of strength.
Tristan’s frustration mounted as he witnessed Wang Jian effortlessly neutralize his powerful assaults.
Determined to turn the tide, Tristan channeled his demonic qi, fusing it with the Storm Technique.
The resulting surge of energy empowered his strikes, imbuing them with an otherworldly ferocity.
With a mighty roar, Tristan unleashed the Torrential Fury Palm, a technique that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.
A deluge of raw power cascaded towards Wang Jian, but with an elegant sidestep and a flick of his wrist, Wang Jian utilized his Shadow Manipulation to create illusory clones, causing Tristan’s attack to pass harmlessly through thin air.
Wang Jian, seizing the opportunity, countered with his Mystic Force.
The surrounding Qi intensified, amplifying his own strength and speed. His every move became a precise dance of devastation, seamlessly transitioning between offense and defense.
Tristan, now visibly fatigued and injured from Wang Jian’s relentless assaults, dug deep within himself for a final burst of power.
Drawing upon the darkest depths of his demonic essence, he unleashed the Cataclysmic Tempest—a technique that unleashed a maelstrom of destructive energy.
The ground trembled beneath the sheer force of the attack as it roared towards Wang Jian, threatening to engulf him in its devastating power.
But Wang Jian, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination, activated his ultimate technique—the Eclipse Domain Annihilation.
The air crackled with anticipation as an ominous darkness enveloped the battlefield. Shadows coalesced around Wang Jian, twisting and contorting into sinister tendrils that snaked towards the Cataclysmic Tempest.
With a thunderous impact, the Eclipse Domain Annihilation collided with Tristan’s attack. The world seemed to hold its breath as the clash of energies erupted, unleashing a cataclysmic explosion that consumed the battlefield.
The force of the annihilation sent shockwaves radiating outward, shattering the very fabric of reality.
As the smoke cleared, a hushed silence fell upon the battlefield.
Tristan, battered and broken, lay motionless upon the ground—a testament to the overwhelming power of Wang Jian’s Eclipse Domain Annihilation.
The difference in strength between the two combatants had been starkly highlighted, leaving no doubt as to the victor of this fierce confrontation.
Wang Jian, his body exuding an aura of triumph, stood amidst the wreckage. The battlefield lay in ruins, scars of their ferocious clash etched into the earth.
“You should have fled the moment I tapped into the power of my bloodline. There was never any hope for you,” Wang Jian’s voice dripped with cold confidence as he closed in on Tristan, each step purposeful and calculated.
To the surprise of Wang Jian, Tristan responded with a hearty laugh, his eyes gleaming with a hint of madness.
“You think this is the end? Ha! You underestimate me!”
With a swift motion, Tristan drew upon his well of spiritual energy, shattering not one, but two additional Lord Realm Devil hearts that lay hidden within his Spatial Ring.
A surge of vital essence coursed through Tristan’s veins, knitting his wounds back together with remarkable speed.
The injuries that had marred his body only moments ago now seemed like distant memories as renewed strength and vigor flowed through him.
However, before Tristan could revel in his revitalized state, Wang Jian’s moved. Like a viper striking with deadly precision, he unsheathed his sword and thrust it forcefully into Tristan’s stomach, a sinister smile playing across his face.
“No more regeneration for you. Since you’ve outlived your usefulness, it’s time for you to meet your demise.”
The blade pierced Tristan’s flesh, causing a searing pain to erupt within him. His laughter faltered, replaced by a mixture of shock and defiance.
Blood trickled from the wound, staining his clothes a light green. 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈
Through gritted teeth, Tristan defiantly retorted, his voice laced with unwavering determination. “You may have dealt me a blow, but my spirit remains unbroken. Your arrogance blinds you to the truth. I have yet to reveal the full extent of my power.”
As the pain threatened to consume him, Tristan’s indomitable will flared to life once more. He mustered every ounce of his remaining spiritual energy, channeling it into a desperate bid for survival.
The embers of his inner strength flickered with renewed intensity, refusing to be extinguished.
Wang Jian, caught off guard by Tristan’s resilience, rolled his eyes in disdain. He withdrew his sword from Tristan’s body, the blade gleaming with a cold, malevolent light.
With a swift and fluid motion, he began to unleash a rapid succession of slicing motions, effortlessly cleaving Tristan’s form into countless minuscule fragments.
The air sizzled with the heat of Wang Jian’s power as waves of searing flames engulfed the dismembered pieces, obliterating any chance of regeneration.
Tristan’s body, once formidable and unyielding, now lay scattered and charred, beyond the reach of his regenerative abilities. Only his Spatial Ring remained intact, dropped to the ground amidst the aftermath of their cataclysmic clash.
A chilling silence enveloped the battlefield as the dust settled, the echoes of their battle lingering in the air. Wang Jian stood tall, his expression a mix of cold satisfaction and arrogance. His voice resonated through the desolate surroundings, icy and final.
“When I say you are dead, there is no coming back from that.”
The scene was one of devastation, a testament to the ferocity and power unleashed between the combatants. The once vibrant landscape now lay in ruins, scarred by the clash of opposing forces.
The air crackled with residual energy, as if holding its breath, waiting for the next moment of reckoning.
Wang Jian felt that it was time to return to the battlefield and meet up with his faction.
