Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 397 Heavenly Court Barges Into Elven Dominion

At this particular moment, Huo Yi found himself leading a mighty contingent of Saint Realm experts from the Heavenly Court.

A formidable force indeed, marching alongside them was the airborne land of the Barbarian Race's Immortal Dominion.

Their journey brought them to the boundary between the Central and Northern Regions.

However, before they could venture further into the Northern Region, a battalion of elves emerged, barring their path with an air of hostility.

"Halt! Advance any further, and you make an enemy of the illustrious Elf Queen!" warned a stern elven emissary.

"Hmm, making the elves our enemies was precisely our plan," Huo Yi retorted, his cold words accompanied by a barrage of arrows that pierced through the elven ranks, injuring not just their physical forms but also their ethereal spirits.

Undeterred, Huo Yi, his forces, and the massive Barbarian Race's Immortal Dominion pressed on into the Northern Region.

As they breached the Northern Region's boundary, an overwhelming power enveloped them, making Huo Yi feel a divine presence that demanded reverence.

This power emanated from none other than the World Tree, the heart of the Elven Dominion.

A resonant voice echoed in Huo Yi's mind, "You've erred in slaying those messengers. The price for your folly shall be paid."

The might of the Barbarian Race's Immortal Dominion, though formidable, paled in comparison to the World Tree Elven Dominion.

The latter, connected to the Earth Veins across the entire Northern Region, boasted a stability that the Barbarian Race's Immortal Dominion lacked at this moment.

Moreover, the Barbarian Race's Immortal Dominion, soaring in the air, experienced a weakened state, unable to fully exert its power.

The barrier of the World Tree Elven Dominion stood resolute, blocking entry into its sacred territory.

Yet, Huo Yi anticipated this challenge. He produced an orb pulsating with the intense power of the Law of Celestial Might.

"This orb contains the accumulation of the Heavenly Court's Vice-Leader's power—gathered over nearly a millennium and infused into an Elemental Spark," Huo Yi explained, a sly smirk playing on his lips.

In the heart of the Elven Forest, Ilyndra's eyes widened in shock. She sensed the extraordinary power contained within the Elemental Spark.

"This isn't of our world... It's like the essence from the core of another realm. Does the Heavenly Court possess such rare treasures from distant worlds?" Ilyndra murmured, her astonishment evident.

With a confident throw, Huo Yi launched the Elemental Spark at the barrier, a radiant beacon of celestial might aimed at shattering the defenses that barred their entry into the World Tree Elven Dominion.

No earth-shattering explosion rocked the scene.

Instead, as Huo Yi's thrown orb collided with the formidable barrier of the World Tree Elven Dominion, something extraordinary happened.

The exceptional energy of the orb didn't burst forth in a fiery display; instead, it carved a hole, a small breach through which Huo Yi, his forces, and even the colossal Barbarian Race's Immortal Dominion slipped into the sacred domain.

Their intrusion triggered an immediate response. A legion of Elven experts descended upon the invaders, ready to exact a hefty toll for their audacity and transgression.

In the unfolding clash, the Heavenly Court's formidable experts clashed blades with the elite Elven warriors of the World Tree Elven Dominion.

Traditionally, entering the sacred territory of the World Tree Elven Dominion would tilt the odds heavily in favor of the defenders due to the intrinsic support provided by the energies and laws of the World Tree itself.

However, to the astonishment of the elven experts, their opponents, led by Huo Yi, weren't just holding their ground—they were overpowering them in raw strength and elemental essence.

This revelation sent shockwaves through the Elven experts. Inside the sanctum of the World Tree Elven Dominion, they shouldn't have been at a disadvantage in terms of raw strength and elemental essence. It defied the very nature of their sacred realm.

"Did you think we wouldn't come prepared?" Huo Yi's voice cut through the clash as he raised his bow, radiating an intense blue light.

The arrows, notched on the bowstring, weren't physical; they were manifestations of pure elemental essence, conjured and launched without a moment's hesitation.

The Elves, renowned for their connection to the elements, found themselves in a peculiar position of disadvantage.

The air crackled with the hum of Huo Yi's bow, a rhythmic dance of elemental arrows leaving no room for a counterattack.

A seasoned elven commander, witnessing the unexpected turn of events, shouted orders to rally their forces. "Stand firm! Channel the essence of the World Tree! We cannot allow these interlopers to defy our sacred domain!"

Yet, despite their efforts, the Elven experts continued to face an onslaught that defied their expectations. The usual harmony with the World Tree's essence seemed disrupted, and the Elves struggled to adapt.

Huo Yi, his bow string vibrating with each release, declared, each word carrying the weight of an impending storm, "You Elves have grown too complacent. The Heavenly Court's preparations are not to be underestimated. You may have the World Tree, but we've come armed with the very essence of the heavens!"

With each elemental arrow, Huo Yi asserted the Heavenly Court's dominance within the sacred domain. The wind arrows cut through the air, disrupting the typical cadence of the World Tree's essence, leaving the Elves perplexed and vulnerable.

One by one, Elven experts engaged in aerial acrobatics, trying to evade the relentless assault.

The sacred battleground beneath the colossal boughs of the World Tree erupted into a whirlwind of elemental chaos.

The air buzzed with the clash of the Heavenly Court's forces, led by Huo Yi and his formidable archery skills, against the skilled Elven warriors, each a master of nature's elements.

As the Elven experts, graceful and lethal, converged upon the intruders, the World Tree's essence seemed to rally in defense. The first line of Elven defenders, all attuned to the ancient magic of the forest, moved with an ethereal grace.

They raised their hands, and the very trees responded to their command.

"Verdant Embrace!" called out the Elven commander, her voice carrying a melodic resonance. Instantly, the trees around her entwined their limbs, creating a living barrier to ward off the intruders.

Yet, Huo Yi's first arrow, infused with the essence of celestial wind, cut through the barrier like a swift breeze, disrupting the harmony of the Verdant Embrace.

The Elven archers, clad in leaves and wielding bows crafted from enchanted wood, countered with a barrage of arrows.

Each arrow was a manifestation of nature's wrath, seeking to pierce the Heavenly Court's forces.

Huo Yi's comrades, well-versed in celestial arts, responded with synchronized defensive formations.

Amidst the chaos, a trio of Elven warriors invoked their collective power. "Sylvan Triad Dance!" they chanted in unison.

The ground beneath them trembled as roots erupted, creating a mesmerizing dance of deadly grace. Poisonous thorns sprouted along the roots, aimed at ensnaring Huo Yi's allies.

The Heavenly Court's experts, however, countered with agility and precision, dodging the intricate dance of the Sylvan Triad.

Huo Yi, ever the agile marksman, leaped and twisted mid-air, launching his second arrow – "Zephyr's Wrath."

This arrow, infused with the essence of a raging storm, tore through the aerial ballet of the Elven archers. The very winds seemed to heed Huo Yi's command as they disrupted the trajectory of the Sylvan Triad Dance.

As the battle intensified, a group of Elven mages emerged from the foliage. Their hands glowed with an otherworldly light as they invoked the ancient spell, "Luminescent Enigma."

The forest floor became a kaleidoscope of illusions, confusing the Heavenly Court's forces.

Huo Yi responded by unleashing his third arrow – "Illusion Shatter." The arrow, guided by celestial intuition, pierced through the illusions, dispelling the enchantment.

Meanwhile, Huo Yi's comrades showcased their prowess. One, a master of earth manipulation, summoned towering rock formations to shield against the Elven barrage. Another, skilled in the art of sound, resonated a powerful harmonic wave – "Sonic Barrier" – deflecting the enchanted arrows with invisible force.

Back in the heart of the battle, the Elven commander unleashed a devastating ability – "Venomous Grove." The trees, now imbued with a corrosive poison, swayed menacingly toward Huo Yi's forces. His comrades, undeterred, activated their protective auras – "Celestial Ward" – forming a barrier against the toxic onslaught.

The rhythmic exchange of attacks continued. Huo Yi, showcasing his relentless archery skills, launched arrows with diverse elemental infusions.

"Gale Pierce," "Solar Flare," and "Aetherial Cascade" – each arrow bore a unique essence, countering the Elven onslaught.

Yet, the Elven defenders, their unity with nature unyielding, adapted. A group of nimble warriors executed the "Ephemeral Canopy," a maneuver that rendered them nearly invisible within the forest's foliage.

Huo Yi's comrades, recognizing the challenge, employed their keen celestial senses to detect the concealed assailants.

In the midst of this elemental symphony, the Elven warriors remained resilient.

"Elemental Convergence!" declared the Elven commander, invoking a fusion of earth, wind, and water. The very air crackled with the convergence, creating a tempest that threatened to engulf Huo Yi's forces.

Huo Yi, undeterred, summoned his celestial prowess.

The fourth arrow, "Cyclonic Annihilation," manifested a whirlwind that countered the Elemental Convergence.

His comrades, aware of the impending clash, invoked their synchronized ability – "Heavenly Resonance," harmonizing their energies to bolster the celestial defense.

The battleground, now a canvas of elemental clashes, celestial archery, and Elven resilience, echoed with the intensity of realms colliding.
