Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 261  Fighting against Zyrithia and Ye Chen

A towering demonic entity, standing nearly five meters tall with a dark and ethereal form, materialized above Wang Jian's head. Its clawed appendages seemed poised to engulf him, draining his life essence and strength.

This malevolent manifestation was none other than the true form of Zyrithia's deadly Soulbane Obliteration Curse, which had struck Wang Jian.

With a confident grin, Wang Jian spoke aloud, "Normally, dealing with a curse through sheer strength is impossible, especially when the curse is powerful and wielded by a skilled user. But for something like this…"

The conceited grin on his face widened as he snapped his finger.

With a swift snap of his fingers, the scene transformed before their eyes. The immense demonic entity, seemingly on the brink of engulfing Wang Jian entirely, was effortlessly sliced apart by Wang Jian's peak level insights in Wind Element.

At this very moment, Wang Jian was deliberately restraining his true power, employing only the cultivation strength of a King Realm expert. This cunning tactic was aimed at concealing his true power as an Emperor Realm expert, keeping his full potential veiled from his opponents.

As the dust settled, Ye Chen and Zyrithia looked on with a mix of awe and astonishment.

As the dust settled, Wang Jian maintained his air of superiority, looking at his adversaries with amusement dancing in his eyes. He gloated, "You two really don't stand a chance against me. How amusing to witness your futile attempts."

Ye Chen's resolve hardened as he met Wang Jian's gaze with determination. He retorted, "Don't get too cocky, Wang Jian."

Zyrithia's eyes burned with intensity as she added, "You may be powerful, but we have our own strengths."

Wang Jian chuckled, clearly unfazed by their bravado. "You're free to try," he taunted, his confidence unwavering.

In that critical moment, Ye Chen's entire being seemed to channel the raw power of the Storm Devil energy. The intensity of his aura reminded Wang Jian of Tristan, the formidable heir of the Oceanic Tempest Storm Devil Clan, whom he had faced in the Sacred Dominion.

Yet, Ye Chen's power appeared even more substantial, overbearing, and pure compared to Tristan's.

Unlike Tristan, who resorted to a forbidden technique to borrow the might of the Storm Devil God, Ye Chen possessed the pure bloodline of the Storm Devil God, allowing him to harness this power without any adverse consequences.

In a dramatic surge, Ye Chen's cultivation soared from the sixth stage of the King Realm to the ninth stage, causing his qi to become unbelievably dense.

The insights of his Storm Element intensified to the level of peak-level insights, further reinforced by the overbearing demonic qi coursing through him. In this state, Ye Chen became an unparalleled force, a truly dangerous opponent.

Wang Jian, despite his composure, couldn't help but gaze at Ye Chen with seriousness.

'As expected of a protagonist. His abilities allow him to contend against someone an entire realm above his own,' Wang Jian thought seriously.

Meanwhile, Wang Jian's harem members were deeply concerned as they felt the incredible power pulsating from Ye Chen.

Fearing that Wang Jian might be overpowered, the women in his harem stepped forward, determined to aid him in the upcoming battle against Ye Chen.

However, Wang Jian's composed demeanor reassured them, "...Attack that Devil Princess and capture her. Leave this guy to me."

With a worried tone, Chen Yiyan questioned, "B-but…Will you really be okay, husband?"

"Absolutely," Wang Jian responded confidently.

He then turned to Hong Meilin and Han Xifeng, instructing them, "You both need to stay vigilant and immediately purify any curse that she utilizes on our side."

Assuredly, Hong Meilin and Han Xifeng nodded, with Hong Meilin saying, "You can rest assured that nobody will be hurt as long as we are here!"

A smile played on Wang Jian's lips as he replied, "Good."

However, before the situation could escalate further, Ye Chen interjected with a cold tone, "Are you done saying your last words?" His words carried an unreal power, adding to the tension on the battlefield.

Unfazed, Wang Jian gazed at Ye Chen with nonchalance and retorted, "...Your power is certainly impressive. But it's still not great enough to allow yourself to be conceited in front of me."

With those words, Wang Jian abruptly disappeared from his spot, utilizing Spatial Movement to reappear beside Ye Chen.

He touched Ye Chen, and in an instant, both of them vanished from their original positions.

Wang Jian had taken Ye Chen to a location where they could properly engage in their battle, and that place naturally belonged to the other side of the barrier – the side of the devils.

In this location, Wang Jian had the freedom to unleash his full power without worrying about harming his own faction members. It was the perfect opportunity for him to utilize his Domain!

To maintain the façade of a King Realm expert, Wang Jian restrained the Domain's effect to match that level. This way, he could easily handle Ye Chen's current power boost while concealing his true Emperor Realm cultivation.

Ye Chen had enveloped the entire area with dense, dark clouds crackling with purple lightning. Determination blazed in his eyes as he prepared a formidable attack. "This time, I will definitely win and kill you here!" he declared confidently, ready to unleash his might.

Unfazed, Wang Jian smirked and expanded his own Domain, the Scorching Solar Incineration Domain. The moment it was activated, intense solar flames surged out of Wang Jian's body, spreading across an extensive area.

Several devils were caught within the Domain, and weaker demons instantly ignited upon contact with its deadly power. The scope of destruction left by this Domain was awe-inspiring.

The dark clouds that Ye Chen had conjured in the sky began to disintegrate upon encountering the scorching heat emanating from Wang Jian's Domain. It was a clear indication of the overwhelming power contained within those flames.

Desperate to reduce the domain's potency, Ye Chen unleashed a torrent of waves, utilizing his Peak-Level Insights in Water Element. However, to his shock, the water was instantly vaporized upon contact, leaving no trace behind.

Unfortunately, when this water came in contact with Wang Jian's domain, it was completely evaporated without leaving a trace.

This sight shocked Ye Chen to no ends as he never expected those flames to be so powerful. It was only then he realized the true power of those flames.

Realization struck Ye Chen as he exclaimed in horror, "No way… T-That's a domain!"

Wang Jian confirmed it with a sly smirk, "Correct."

He pointed his index finger at Ye Chen, conjuring a small fireball that hovered menacingly over his fingertip before he launched it at Ye Chen.

In his Storm Devil God mode, Ye Chen initially believed he could effortlessly dodge the incoming fireball by swiftly evading its path.

However, his eyes widened in shock as the fireball rapidly expanded with each passing moment, growing to such immense proportions that it engulfed the entire area where Ye Chen could possibly escape.

As Ye Chen attempted to utilize his movement technique to avoid the incoming fireball, he made a startling discovery - his usually swift movements were noticeably sluggish.

A moment of realization struck him; this was the effect of the domain!

Wang Jian's Scorching Solar Incineration Domain had suppressed the power of Ye Chen's elements to the point where he could barely muster 10% of their true might.

Faced with the unstoppable fireball hurtling towards him, Ye Chen knew evasion was futile. Determination etched on his face as he mustered all his qi and gritted his teeth while preparing to endure the impending onslaught of this massive fireball.

Thankfully, in addition to his Devil Bloodline from a powerful Devil Clan, Ye Chen had cultivated the formidable Divine Bone Transformation Art, greatly bolstering his endurance.

Upon impact, the fireball's devastating power ravaged Ye Chen, inflicting unbearable pain upon him. His body convulsed involuntarily, and a pained howl escaped his lips, a testament to the sheer agony he was experiencing.

Burning pain was notorious for being one of the deadliest torments a human could endure, and Ye Chen's resilience was tested to its limits.

After a tense couple of seconds, the massive fireball dissipated, leaving Wang Jian to observe Ye Chen's half-charred body in the aftermath.

With a sly smile, Wang Jian remarked, "Impressive. Your tenacity is commendable. I thought you would perish under that attack, but you surprised me."

Wang Jian's eyes narrowed as he noticed Ye Chen's wounds healing before his very eyes. It intrigued him to see this recovery, which seemed to be fueled by Ye Chen's devil bloodline and an enigmatic power.

He suspected that this mysterious ability might be related to Ye Chen's talent for multiplying rare herbs, possibly allowing him to absorb the medicinal essence of these herbs directly into his body for healing.

To Wang Jian, this newfound power was nothing short of extraordinary.

Amusement danced across Wang Jian's face as he quipped, "Just one fireball brought you to this half-dead state. I wonder how you will survive the next ten."

At that moment, Ye Chen's eyes widened as he realized that he was encircled by ten fireballs, each hurtling towards him with astonishing speed.

As they closed in, their size began to swell, and Ye Chen had a sinking feeling that the power within these fireballs surpassed even the devastating force of the first one he had endured.
