As Wang Jian unleashed the hidden potential of his subordinates, a shocking development unfolded on the battlefield between the devil forces and the Empire.
Emperor Wang himself had stepped onto the battleground, displaying unparalleled fighting prowess with his unique domain, which seamlessly merged two distinct elements.
Despite his formidable skills, the devil forces continued to hold the upper hand, thanks to the inclusion of the powerful and enigmatic experts from the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan.
These devil warriors showcased abilities that were not only remarkably potent but also unlike anything the Empire had encountered before.
Their unique powers allowed them to stand toe-to-toe with the Empire's best, even triumphing in many engagements.
To make matters even more challenging, the battles now raged primarily during the night, as the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan thrived under the moon's dark embrace, gaining significant power during those hours.
The Second Princess's faction suffered the most due to this elongated conflict.
As the battles raged on, their strength dwindled, and the prolonged engagements took a toll on their forces.
While the Emperor's faction focused on assisting the Crown Prince's faction in the central part of the battlefield and covering the third section, the Second Princess's faction found itself increasingly vulnerable.
However, hope still flickered in the darkness, as a few Emperor Realm experts from the Crown Prince's faction arrived to aid the beleaguered Second Princess's faction.
This crucial support bolstered their defenses and provided a glimmer of hope in the face of overwhelming odds.
As Zyrithia stealthily made her way back to the devil forces' side, her Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan members were overjoyed to see her return. She recounted her encounter with Wang Jian, admitting that she had lost the Ancestral Curseweaver Nether Scythe to the enemy. Despite this setback, her clan forgave her, recognizing her as the esteemed inheritor of their ancestral devil.
Excitedly, Zyrithia shared the revelation she had uncovered about Wang Jian's true identity.
She revealed that he was not only a member of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan but possessed a bloodline purity comparable to that of a member of the clan's main family.
However, much to her surprise, her clan was already aware of this fact.
The devils that Wang Jian had captured during his fierce battle against Voidblade had witnessed his extraordinary prowess and suspected his exceptional bloodline.
They promptly informed their superiors, leading the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan to join the ongoing battle against the Empire.
Zyrithia marveled at the significance of this revelation.
On this realm, the devil clans were all mere branches of their respective main families, and even the Patriarchs of these branches could not compare themselves to a member of the main family.
At that moment, Zyrithia's mind was filled with contemplation. She couldn't shake the feeling that Wang Jian was well aware of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan's involvement in the battle. After all, rumors about him had surely reached their ranks. If he wanted, he could easily establish contact with them and assert his authority over their actions.
Yet, to her surprise, Wang Jian hadn't made any such attempt.
Just then, the Telephone Artifact he had given her beeped, and Wang Jian's voice resonated through it.
He instructed her, "You must have realized by now that my heritage is no secret to the devils here. I want you to pay a visit to the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan's Camp and allow me to converse with them."
Understanding his intentions, Zyrithia's eyes widened with realization. "I see now. You want to keep your plans of allying with the devils hidden from your faction," she said.
With a casual tone, Wang Jian confirmed her understanding, saying, "Correct."
As Zyrithia arrived at the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan's camp, she used the Telephone Artifact to establish contact with Wang Jian, ensuring he would join the conversation.
The patriarch and other clan members were reluctant at first, not pleased with this mysterious artifact being involved, but they had no choice but to comply.
However, to everyone's shock, just as they were about to begin the conversation, a spatial rift appeared before the Telephone Artifact, and out of it emerged Wang Jian himself. The Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan members were taken aback as they witnessed his display of spatial prowess.I think you should take a look at
In his devil transformation state, with his hair a mesmerizing shade of blue and his eyes a deep, intense red, Wang Jian's presence was overwhelming. The power of his Emperor Realm cultivation and his pure Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Bloodline seemed to crush every devil in the vicinity.
Even Zyrithia herself was taken aback by Wang Jian's unexpected appearance from the spatial rift. It dawned on her that the Telephone Artifact she possessed allowed him to track her location at all times, granting him easy access to her location whenever he wished.
His devil form exuded a sense of majesty and authority that demanded respect and awe. The members of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan, once hesitant to speak with him, now found themselves standing before an undeniable force, one they couldn't ignore or resist.
"Apologies for my unannounced arrival," Wang Jian spoke with a hint of amusement in his voice, sensing their surprise. "I thought it would be more interesting to discuss matters face to face."
As the Patriarch of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan composed himself, he spoke with a mix of awe and respect, "I was hesitant at first, but now that I've seen you and felt your pure bloodline, I am convinced that you possess the rightful heritage of our clan. I, as the Patriarch, respectfully request you to lead us."????????????????????????????????.????????????
Wang Jian couldn't help but smirk, enjoying the moment. "Ah, you've surrendered so quickly. I was looking forward to showcasing my abilities and engaging in combat," he remarked playfully.
The Patriarch explained, "Your power, as sensed through that Spatial Rift, is far superior to mine, and your bloodline purity surpasses my own. It's wiser to submit and preserve my life rather than face certain defeat."
Accepting the Patriarch's submission, Wang Jian continued, "However, due to my unique half-human identity, I can't actively lead the clan just yet. But I have a solution. I will convey my orders through this woman." He pointed at Zyrithia, surprising the Patriarch.
"Why her?" the Patriarch inquired, somewhat displeased, given the rivalry between the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan and the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan.
Wang Jian's smirk widened as he approached Zyrithia, pulling her closer and wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Isn't it obvious? She is my woman!" he declared boldly.
The Patriarch was taken aback but noticed Zyrithia's submissive reaction, confirming the truth in Wang Jian's claim.
This revelation brought the Patriarch a sense of satisfaction, knowing that the inheritor of the Ancestral Devil of the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan had chosen to submit to the genius of the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan.
"We shall listen to your commands, Lord," the Patriarch declared, acknowledging Wang Jian's authority.
With his mission accomplished, Wang Jian released Zyrithia from his embrace and addressed the group, "Good. Then I shall take my leave now."
After utilizing the power of the Spatial Rift to leave the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan's camp, Wang Jian didn't immediately return to his faction in the Black Castle.
Instead, he teleported to a location closer to his second sister Wang Ying's faction.
As the days passed, Wang Ying's faction grew weaker, struggling to maintain its strength in the face of the ongoing conflict.
While Wang Jian's devil heritage had been revealed, causing some groups to leave his faction, the core members remained loyal and united, ensuring the overall strength of his faction remained largely unaffected.
The groups that did defect from Wang Jian's faction chose to join forces with the Crown Prince's faction, bolstering its ranks further.
It didn't take long before Wang Ying was face-to-face with Wang Jian, who sat casually on her personal bed inside the private tent. His playful smirk hinted at a hidden agenda.
"Second sister, come and take a seat. Treat this as your own place," Wang Jian beckoned with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Wang Ying's defenses immediately went up, and she warned, "What are you doing here? I'll call for my guards right away!"
"Don't take me for a fool," Wang Jian retorted, clearly amused. "If you wanted to call for your guards, you would have done it already. I have a feeling you know why I'm here, and I can see the glimmer of excitement in your eyes."
Her face blushing slightly, Wang Ying attempted to regain her composure. "Excitement? Don't be absurd! I'm merely curious about your sudden appearance."
Wang Jian's smirk only widened. "Of course, of course," he replied, feigning innocence. "But let's not pretend. We both know you're eager to hear what I have to say."
Wang Ying crossed her arms, trying to appear unaffected. "You overestimate yourself. Your devil heritage is abhorrent, and I wish to kill you immediately. But I need to hear your reasons for why you would take such a huge risk to visit me today."
