Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 310 The Sects Of Central Region Assist Eastern Seas

As Jiang Chen successfully shattered one of his restraints, the Terra Sword began to dissipate, almost as if it had served its purpose and was fading away.

Suddenly, the ominous dark clouds in the sky crackled with intense lightning. A colossal bolt of lightning was hurled directly at Jiang Chen.

Within a half-kilometer radius of the strike, everything was subjected to the overwhelming power of this massive lightning bolt.

The very landscape was reduced to rubble, and even the trees were reduced to splinters.

It wasnʼt just the Law of Lightning at work here; other laws, such as the Laws of Flames, Annihilation, and Vibrations, seemed to accompany the devastating strike.

However, Jiang Chen had been well-prepared for such a formidable challenge. For several weeks leading up to this moment, he had meticulously arranged arrays on the ground, fortifying his position and readying himself to withstand the ferocity of the Heavenly Tribulations.

Even as the surrounding area was utterly devastated, Jiang Chenʼs ground array held steadfast, absorbing and resisting the onslaught of the Heaven Tribulation, which was now powered by additional laws.

From the array on the ground, a dark energy, akin to devilish essence, seeped out, all under Jiang Chenʼs control.

Jiang Chen stood atop a location where a Yin Vein ran deep within the earth.

His Devil Array was strategically positioned to harness the Yin Qi emanating from the vein, using it as a bulwark against the might of the Heavenly Tribulations.

The Yin Vein absorbed the brunt of the Heavenly Tribulationʼs attack, transforming every aspect of it into pure Yin Qi that Jiang Chen could manipulate.

He planned to utilize this raw Yin Qi to fortify himself against the onslaught of even more Heavenly Tribulations that would undoubtedly follow.

As this celestial spectacle unfolded, the seeping devil energy from the earth didnʼt go unnoticed. It piqued the curiosity of the three human Empires in the Western Deserts, as well as the Giant Race.

All of them recognized the unmistakable signs of a devil undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation. Furthermore, they sensed that this devil was exceptionally formidable.

Their thoughts naturally gravitated towards the idea of seizing this unique opportunity to witness the Heavenly Tribulation and perhaps vanquish this mighty devil.

Jiang Chen was well aware that such a significant commotion would undoubtedly attract the attention of not only human experts but also those from the Giant Race.

In anticipation of this, he had meticulously arranged illusion arrays around his location, turning the entire area into a bewildering maze for anyone attempting to reach him.

These illusion arrays, too, drew upon the Yin Qi of the Yin Veins, ensuring their resilience against the Heavenly Tribulationsʼ onslaught.

As the next bolt of Heavenly Lightning descended upon Jiang Chen, it appeared even more ferocious and carried the might of more potent laws.

Jiang Chen faced the growing intensity of the Heavenly Lightning without fear. His bloodline abilities had finally activated, and he infused his body with the Yin Qi from the Yin Veins, unleashing the formidable Eldershadow Surge.

The Eldershadow Surge worked its magic, creating ten shadow duplicates of Jiang Chen, all under his precise control. Together, they joined forces to unleash a devastating Abyssal Void Beam.

The Abyssal Void Beam projected an immense torrent of Yin Qi directly at the approaching Heavenly Lightning bolt.

The collision between the Heavenly Tribulationsʼ Lightning Bolt and the Abyssal Void Beam was nothing short of spectacular.

Soon, the overwhelming power of the Abyssal Void Beam forced the Lightning Bolt of the Heavenly Tribulations to disperse.

However, this did not bring an end to the Heavenly Tribulations; it only made them more potent. Now, in addition to Lightning Bolts, other elemental attacks descended upon Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had orchestrated this entire situation to his advantage. He purposely invited the Heavenly Tribulations to bring down attacks of other elements because he knew these elemental attacks were potent and enhanced with powerful laws.

His intention was to seize these formidable elemental powers for himself.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen tapped deeper into his bloodline abilities, using the Eldershadow Surge to create over a thousand clones. Ordinarily, he could only produce a few dozen clones through this ability.

However, his connection to the Yin Vein in the ground allowed him to draw upon more of his bloodlineʼs power. This came at a cost, though; overexerting his body would leave him severely injured and immobile.

But Jiang Chen was willing to take this risk to seize the incredible power of these variant elements for himself!

After a grueling day of enduring the Heavenly Tribulations, Jiang Chen emerged victorious, having captured the crimson lightning and black winds unleashed by the celestial ordeal.

But his triumph was short-lived. Moments after the Heavenly Tribulations subsided, a horde of experts stormed into the area where Jiang Chen had faced his trial.

Among them were Saint Realm experts from the Heavenly Court.

However, before any of these newcomers could lay eyes on Jiang Chen, he executed a shocking maneuver.

Utilizing his Eldershadow Surge bloodline ability, Jiang Chenʼs thousand clones suddenly detonated in a spectacular display.

The resulting dark, shadowy clouds blanketed the entire vicinity, obscuring it from the senses of the intruding experts.

Within this shroud, Jiang Chen was the sole figure capable of moving freely.

Seizing this advantage, he unleashed a deadly assault on several Saint Realm experts using his other potent Bloodline Abilities, all executed with remarkable silence.

Although Saint Realm experts possessed keen senses, the dense Yin Qi within the shadowy clouds greatly dampened their perceptions, making them easy prey for Jiang Chenʼs stealthy attacks.

The Heavenly Court experts didnʼt passively await their fate; they swiftly retrieved powerful Holy Artifacts that emitted an overwhelming Holy Attribute.

These artifacts dispersed the enshrouding black shadowy clouds surrounding them.

Gradually, an increasing number of prepared experts began using their Holy Artifacts to drive away the black clouds.

Jiang Chen realized that it wouldnʼt be long before the shadows dissipated entirely.

Hence, he decided it was time to make a hasty retreat.

Swiftly, he departed, repositioning himself amidst the experts of the Bronze Mirage Empire, assuming the role of Emperor Theodoros.

His sudden appearance startled his subordinates, who hadnʼt anticipated their Emperorʼs unannounced return.

Nevertheless, they had no choice but to place their trust in him as they followed him back to the safety of their empire.

In the Eastern Seas, the Sea Monsters easily overpowered the human Empires, thanks to the support they received from the Dwarven Raceʼs advanced weaponry and armor.

With this assistance, the Sea Monsters had successfully captured four out of the nine Earth Veins in the Eastern Sea, a significant accomplishment.

The remaining human Empires in the Eastern Sea were now in dire straits, putting up a fierce resistance against the Sea Monsters.

However, they found relief when the sects of the Aethereal Mirage Immortal Sanctuary finally decided to send their experts to aid the struggling human Empires.

The reason for the delay in their assistance stemmed from the extensive negotiations between the Aethereal Mirage Immortal Sanctuary and the Eastern Sea Empires.

The sects had set high demands for their help, which took time to negotiate.

Now, the price for the Aethereal Mirage Immortal Sanctuaryʼs support was clear: of the four Earth Veins seized by the Dwarven Race, three would go to these sects, one for each sect within the sanctuary.

This agreement marked a significant turning point in the conflict.

The sects of the Aethereal Mirage Immortal Sanctuary had a dual strategy in play.

Firstly, they worked to halt the Dwarves from shipping any more weapons and armor to the Eastern Seas through the Central Region.

This aimed to cut off the Sea Monstersʼ supply lines.

Secondly, these sects dispatched their own experts to the Eastern Seas to actively support the struggling human Empires in the region. Their intervention added a volatile element to the already tumultuous situation.

Interestingly, this volatility played into the favor of the human Empires in the Eastern Seas, giving them an advantage.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian was formulating his strategies to conquer the Heavenly Lotus Sect and the Spirit Affinity Sect.

One of his tactics involved instructing the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan and his Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan to collaborate and activate the Devil Nests near the Celestial Nexus Immortal Dominion.

Their primary objective was to target the mines and other resource-gathering sites controlled by the Spirit Affinity Sect and the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

Wang Jian could obtain precise information about the experts being sent to defend these sites by communicating with Han Xifeng and Lady Zhuoran.

This information allowed him to plan his attacks effectively.

The success of these strategies hinged on which experts the Spirit Affinity Sect and the Heavenly Lotus Sect would send to safeguard their sites. Wang Jianʼs approach depended on the strength and importance of the experts deployed.

If relatively weaker King Realm experts were assigned to protect less significant sites, Wang Jian intended to allow them to reclaim these locations.

However, if the sects deployed Emperor Realm experts, particularly if one of their sect leaders was among them, Wang Jian planned to have powerful devils secretly stationed at the site. Additionally, they would set up formidable devil arrays in the vicinity, enhancing their chances of success.
