Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 443 True Form Of The Wang Jian's System

The feral grin on the Dragon Prince's face only widened as he observed the regenerative capabilities of Jiang Chen's Minor World. His draconic eyes gleamed with a predatory glint as he taunted Jiang Chen.

"Well, Jiang Chen, how long can you keep this up?" The Dragon Prince's voice dripped with condescension. "You must have realized the gap between us. I can kill you over and over until you're finally dead. Tens of times, hundreds of times, or even thousands of times, it doesn't matter. You can't escape the inevitable."

Jiang Chen scowled, unable to refute the Dragon Prince's words. The truth was, the regeneration of the Minor World did indeed have its limitations. To sustain the continuous healing, Jiang Chen had embedded traces of his devil energy within countless living beings across the world. Their life force fueled the Minor World's regeneration ability, but even this method had its constraints.

As the Dragon Prince's words lingered in the air, a realization dawned on Jiang Chen. If the Dragon Prince persisted in his relentless onslaught, the regenerative capacity of the Minor World would eventually be depleted, leading to Jiang Chen's demise.

However, the Dragon Prince wasn't finished as he added, "…Can you heal without the support of this Minor World? Let's find that out."

This ominous statement hung in the air as a foreboding sign of what was to come.

Without wasting any time, the Dragon Prince initiated his most formidable attack—the Draconic Nova Burst. Energy surged within him, and azure light emanated from every scale on his body. The atmosphere itself seemed to tremble in anticipation of the draconic cataclysm about to unfold.

In response to the impending threat, Jiang Chen summoned the entirety of his power. The Vermillion Flames, the Azure Lightning, the Ice Essence, the Devil Draconic Bloodline, and the Law of Annihilation converged into a colossal force. The culmination of his abilities manifested as the Celestial Annihilation Fusion, a technique he hoped would counter the impending Draconic Nova Burst.

As the two titanic forces collided, the resulting explosion was cataclysmic. The Draconic Nova Burst, an overwhelming surge of draconic power, tore through the fabric of space and distorted the laws of time. On the opposing side, the Celestial Annihilation Fusion fought valiantly, attempting to withstand the draconic onslaught.

The Minor World, now under the duress of the Draconic Nova Burst, began to crumble. Space itself seemed to shatter as the energies clashed, creating a maelstrom of destruction. The laws of time and space wavered, unable to withstand the sheer power unleashed by the Dragon Prince.

Jiang Chen, caught in the midst of the cataclysm, could feel the force of the Draconic Nova Burst overpowering his defenses. The impact reverberated through every fiber of his being, and he found himself at the mercy of the devastating attack.

In that chaotic moment, the remnants of the Minor World shattered into ethereal fragments.

As the remnants of the shattered Minor World dissipated, Jiang Chen and the Dragon Prince found themselves back on the barren land.

The Dragon Prince stood proudly, his eyes reflecting triumph and satisfaction, while Jiang Chen, battered and bloodied, knelt on the ground. He coughed out mouthfuls of blood, revealing the severity of his injuries. His left leg and right arm were missing, and numerous wounds marred his abdomen.

Though these injuries would be fatal to humans, for a resilient demon like Jiang Chen, they wouldn't be life-threatening. However, the destruction of his Minor World had inflicted a unique agony directly on Jiang Chen's spirit. It felt as if a part of his soul had been torn apart by the Dragon Prince's relentless assault.

Amidst the wreckage of his strength, Jiang Chen's once formidable spirit now quivered with vulnerability. The pain, both physical and spiritual, painted a grim tableau of defeat. However, this wasn't the end.

The Dragon Prince, relishing his apparent victory, wore a feral grin as he confidently stepped forward, preparing to deliver the final blow to Jiang Chen. However, just before the lethal strike, a peculiar realization crossed his draconic features.

Jiang Chen's spirit suddenly lost all its strength.

A moment of disbelief flashed across the Dragon Prince's eyes. Jiang Chen had escaped! In a clever maneuver, Jiang Chen had transferred his consciousness to one of the bodies containing a fragment of his devil energy.

Evading the fate of being killed by the Dragon Prince, Jiang Chen had cunningly slipped away.

The Dragon Prince, unfazed by this anticlimactic turn of events, uttered a confident vow, "I will kill you, sooner or later."

Yet, as he spoke those words, the Dragon Prince's attention shifted abruptly. A colossal flying ship, emblematic of the Heavenly Court, soared towards them. The ship carried the elite Immortal Realm experts of the Heavenly Court, and they had come to confront the fatigued Dragon Prince.

A spark of irritation crossed the Dragon Prince's draconic features as he faced this unexpected intervention.

Nonetheless, his eyes gleamed with confidence, ready to face yet another formidable challenge from the forces aligned against him. The battle was far from over, and the celestial stage remained fraught with tension and impending conflict.

In a secluded part of the Enchanting Forest of the Elves, amidst the ancient trees and ethereal surroundings, Wang Jian's eyes snapped open. The aura surrounding him had transformed, resonating with the profound energy of the Immortal Realm.

His ascension to this elevated stage of cultivation marked a significant milestone, but there was more to this revelation than the attainment of power.

As Wang Jian delved into the newfound depths of the Immortal Realm, a profound realization dawned upon him. He had unraveled the truth concealed behind the mysterious system that had guided him throughout his journey in this mystical realm.

The system, it appeared, was a fragment of the World Heart—the pulsating essence that governed the fundamental laws of this reality.

This fragment of the World Heart had seamlessly fused with Wang Jian's soul, a symbiotic relationship that gradually strengthened his body and spirit.

The purpose of the system became clearer—it served as a conduit, a means to harness and control the immense powers emanating from this fragment of the World Heart.

The guise of a system provided a convenient restraint for the formidable energies, unlocking them gradually as Wang Jian acquired and seized the World's Essence from other individuals.

The intricate design of the system, presented as a series of challenges and quests, was a mechanism through which Wang Jian could absorb the World's Essence, fortifying his body and spirit.

The subtle manipulations, such as seducing women linked to these powerful individuals, were orchestrated by the system based on the latent desires residing in Wang Jian's consciousness.

However, with his attainment of the Immortal Realm cultivation stage, Wang Jian had reached a point where he could now directly control the powers of the World Heart.

The need for the system as an intermediary had diminished.

As the realization settled within him, Wang Jian could sense the vast reservoirs of energy at his disposal, ready to be harnessed and wielded without the constraints of the system.

With newfound clarity and command over the powers of the World Heart, Wang Jian stood on the precipice of a realm beyond mortal comprehension, ready to unfold the potential within him.

Wang Jian emerged from his secluded cultivation space with a wide smile adorning his face. The newfound control over the powers of the World Heart brought a sense of elation that reflected in the gleam of his eyes. With purposeful strides, he decided to seek out Elf Queen Ilyndra and, later, meet his wives to share the joy of his Immortal Realm ascension.

As Wang Jian stepped out of the building that housed his closed-door cultivation, he became attuned to the energies resonating within the Enchanting Forest of the Elves.

However, the joy in his expression faded into a frown as a disconcerting realization settled within him.

In that moment, Wang Jian sensed the weakened state of many Elves in the Enchanting Forest, including Elf Queen Ilyndra and the Five Elf Princesses. The fragility of their spirits became apparent to him, and he swiftly connected the dots—Jiang Chen and his forces had attacked the Elven Forest.

Facepalming at the situation, Wang Jian muttered to himself about his earlier concerns. He had foreseen the potential danger and had advised Elf Queen Ilyndra to hand over the artifacts to Jiang Chen. However, despite his warnings, the damaged seemed to be done.

Although worried, Wang Jian quickly reassured himself. If any of his loved ones were in immediate peril, his implanted spirit fragments would have alerted him.

Nonetheless, he felt the urgency to rush to the aid of the elves and protect his cherished ones.

Teleporting in an instant, Wang Jian materialized beside Elf Queen Ilyndra. The Elf Queen, weakened but conscious, lay on a bed surrounded by rare woods and restorative herbs. Despite the efforts, her condition had not improved significantly. She understood that her overuse of the World Tree's energy had taken a toll on her fragile body.

Elf Queen Ilyndra's eyes widened in surprise as Wang Jian appeared in her chamber. His teleportation was so seamless that it left no spatial turbulence—a testament to his mastery over the laws of space.

Wang Jian's gaze, once filled with concern, shifted into a smile as he beheld the form of the Elf Queen, who even in her weakened state exuded an ethereal allure.
