Chapter 257 The Battle Of Domains



The time for words had passed, and the battlefield erupted into chaos as the two sides clashed fiercely.

The resounding clashes echoed through the skies, causing the wind to howl and the very earth to tremble.

Wang Jian faced off against the Pope, the two of them locked in a battle of immense power. The Pope wielded a mace radiating pure Holy Attribute, while Wang Jian relied on his own skill and wit to maneuver against his formidable opponent.

Beside them, Yue Yanling, the Sect Mistress of the Lotus Blossom Sect, fought alongside the Grand Elder of the sect. Yue Yanling wielded a staff crafted from ancient Archaic Wood, imbued with potent Wood Essence that amplified her attacks. Her staff moved gracefully, striking with both precision and force.

The Grand Elder, on the other hand, showcased her mastery over the Wind Elemental Abilities with a spear that seemed to channel the very essence of the element. Her strikes were swift and unpredictable, slicing through the air with deadly accuracy.

In contrast, the two Divine Messengers accompanying the Pope fought with Heavy Chained Flails and a Longbow, their attacks calculated and precise.

"The Holy Attribute might be dangerous to demons, but against me, it's just not strong enough," Wang Jian confidently declared as he effortlessly blocked the Pope's powerful mace with a single hand. In reality, the Holy Attribute did pose a threat to him as a demon, but his own formidable qi allowed him to resist its effects.

The Pope's eyes burned with determination as he exerted more strength on his heavy mace, trying to overpower Wang Jian. However, to his frustration, the mace wouldn't budge, and he was forced to pull back.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Jian's right hand surged forward, aiming for the Pope's vulnerable gut. His strike was imbued with peak-level insights of the Laws of Flames, rendering it immensely destructive.

The Pope had to rely on his mastery of the Water Element, enveloping himself in water infused with peak-level insights to mitigate the damage.

Even so, Wang Jian's strike carried enough power to inflict significant harm. It jolted the Pope's entire body, causing his organs to tremble within him.

However, the Pope showed resilience as he maintained the water barrier around him. With a fierce glare, he chanted, "Divine Retribution!" This unleashed a pillar of pure Holy Light that engulfed Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was taken aback as he felt his energy being rapidly eroded by the Holy Light. Upon closer examination, he realized that it was not merely eroding his energy but purifying it.

His shock intensified as the Pope's heavy mace struck his chest, sending him hurtling through the air.

In mid-flight, Wang Jian caught sight of the Pope, his mace aimed directly at him, a maniacal grin adorning his face.

It was then that Wang Jian understood the Pope's intention.

"Holy Water Shot!" the Pope cried, unleashing a torrent of water with incredible speed, threatening to pierce Wang Jian's body.



Yet, despite the dire predicament, Wang Jian's lips curled into a knowing smile. "So, that's all you're capable of?" he murmured, raising his hand to conjure a radiant orange orb of pure flames.

The fiery orb emitted scorching solar flames that met the incoming Holy Water Shot, effortlessly evaporating the powerful water attack.

Just as Wang Jian was about to attack the Pope again and test more of his techniques, he stopped as his attention was drawn to the intense battle between Yue Yanling, the Grand Elder, and the two Divine Messengers of the Church. The situation seemed dire for his allies.

One of the Divine Messengers skillfully wielded a Heavy Chained Flail, keeping Yue Yanling on the defensive as she struggled to counter his relentless strikes.

Meanwhile, the other Divine Messenger relied on his sharp eyesight to launch arrows infused with the Holy Attribute, piercing through the defenses of both Yue Yanling and the Grand Elder.

Their injuries were taking a toll, draining their energy rapidly. The Heavy Chained Flail had dealt painful blows, causing them to bleed profusely, while the Holy Attribute arrows further weakened them.

However, Yue Yanling and the Grand Elder were not ones to be easily defeated. They fought back valiantly, their attacks landing on the Divine Messengers as well.

Yue Yanling extended her staff, infusing it with the essence of peak-level insights of Wood, and delivered a series of powerful strikes against the Divine Messenger wielding the Heavy Chained Flail.

The Divine Messenger's body bore the marks of injuries and bruises, a testament to the impact of Yue Yanling's attack.

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder utilized her spear to unleash swift bursts of invisible wind infused with peak-level insights in the Wind Element.

This not only disrupted the trajectory of the Holy Attribute arrows heading towards her, but it also inflicted deep cuts on the Divine Messenger wielding the Longbow.

However, there was a crucial distinction between the injuries sustained by Yue Yanling, the Grand Elder, and those inflicted upon the Divine Messengers.I think you should take a look at

The Divine Messengers possessed the ability to heal themselves through the Holy Attribute.

Though their Healing Ability paled in comparison to Han Xifeng's, it was still sufficient to mend the injuries they had suffered thus far in their clash against Yue Yanling and the Grand Elder.

This gave them an advantage in the battle, as they could recover and continue fighting, gradually wearing down their opponents.

Realizing that Yue Yanling and the Grand Elder were at risk of losing their battle against the Divine Messengers, Wang Jian knew he had to take action swiftly. With a confident grin, he raised his hand and formed a hand-seal, preparing to unleash his ultimate technique.

"I guess it's time I ended this," he declared, focusing his energy.

Scorching Solar Incineration Domain!

As he activated the domain, intense orange solar flames engulfed the vicinity, their searing heat capable of incinerating everything in their path. Even the distant trees began to ignite, consumed by the scorching power of the domain.

Yue Yanling and the Grand Elder looked relieved as they saw Wang Jian's domain spreading around them. They knew that fighting against a domain was a daunting task, even for Emperor Realm experts. A domain had the ability to dominate and weaken all other laws within its range. If the opponent shared the same elemental affinity as the one conjuring the domain, they would find it nearly impossible to utilize their own element to harm their adversary. The one who controlled the domain became the ultimate ruler of that element within its boundaries.

To counter a domain, there were limited methods available. One approach was to utilize one's own qi to directly oppose the expert wielding the domain. However, this method was not recommended unless one's qi was significantly powerful. The expert with the domain had the advantage of combining their qi with their elemental prowess, making them a formidable opponent.

The second method was to expand one's own domain, as the clash of two domains would be determined by their strength and refinement. Factors such as compatibility and the laws of the surrounding area could also influence the outcome. For instance, a water-type domain launched near a volcano would be considerably weaker than a flame-type domain due to the overwhelming presence of flame essence.

The third method involved creating a Simple Domain using pure qi, which could create a localized area within the opponent's domain where the power of the laws returned to normal levels. This allowed the user to conjure defensive measures against the opponent's overwhelming attacks within their domain. However, the Simple Domain had limitations, such as its restricted range and difficulty in utilizing it for offensive purposes. The user's only hope was to wait for the opponent to exhaust their energy and dispel their domain.

Lastly, there was a highly complex technique that involved enveloping one's Elemental Energy in a thin barrier around their body. This required intense concentration, as the flow of elemental energy could not disperse for even a second without dire consequences. However, this method allowed the user to directly confront an opponent and their domain, inflicting significant damage.

As Wang Jian's Scorching Solar Incineration Domain expanded, engulfing the Pope and the two Divine Messengers, they showed no signs of worry.

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes, observing their calm demeanor. In unison, the three of them raised their weapons, causing a blinding flash of light to emanate from their weapons.

Wang Jian's eyes widened as he sensed the immense power of domains within these three weapons. Strangely, the power seemed to stem from a unified domain.

"Radiant Illumination Divine Domain!" The voices of the church members resonated simultaneously, their proclamation shaking the air.

The blinding light emitted by their weapons spread, interweaving and merging with one another as it confronted Wang Jian's Scorching Solar Incineration Domain.

Wang Jian felt a tremendous strain on his body as he realized that the Radiant Illumination Divine Domain was gradually overpowering his own domain.

Even the Pope and the Divine Messengers couldn't help but express shock. They had believed that their release of the Radiant Illumination Divine Domain would easily overpower Wang Jian's domain. However, to their astonishment, Wang Jian's domain proved to be a formidable opponent as it fiercely fought back.

Their shock stemmed from the fact that their weapons were imbued with the power of the Radiant God's Spirit itself.

They had never expected a mortal in this world to possess a domain capable of rivaling the domain of the Radiant God's Spirit. Yet, here it was, happening before their eyes.

Aware that his domain was gradually weakening, Wang Jian knew he needed swift intervention.

"I guess I need some external assistance..." Wang Jian muttered under his breath.

In response, his body unleashed the Solarstorm Tempest Abyss Dragon.

The formidable Seven-Headed Dragon Spirit made its presence known on the battlefield, roaring with power.

One of its heads emitted a tremendous surge of Flame Essence, strengthening Wang Jian's domain.

With this boost, Wang Jian's Scorching Solar Incineration Domain fully suppressed the Radiant Illumination Divine Domain, causing it to dissipate.

Now, the Pope and the two Divine Messengers were completely enveloped in Wang Jian's Scorching Solar Incineration Domain, each one wearing a terrified expression. They were powerless against the overwhelming might of his domain.
