Ascension of the immortal Asura
chapter-371

The might of the Supreme Battle Art flowed throughout John's body, raising his strength and durability to a new level. John relished in the feeling of this power for a moment, as he had not felt it in quite some time.

"Not using my body power these last three months has made me feel suffocated, but I can finally let it all out once again."

John raised his arms to his side while he smiled with eyes closed, feeling the rain falling down on his face. After a singular moment of serenity, his eyes snapped open once again, ready to continue his mission.

"Killing these disciples and Elder's is quite fun, but destroying the sect completely will be much more damaging than cutting down a few members of the sect. Time to get to work."

Heavenly Lightning Domain!

John activated his Heavenly Lightning Domain, which would help him not be snuck up on by Elder's such as the previous one had. Not only that, but his Heavenly Lightning Domain had advanced to a new height after breaking through, and was much more powerful than before.

Just by being activated around him, the destruction he would be able to personally cause would be immense, not to mention the tribulation lightning adding to that destruction.

Seventy two lightning nodes sprung up around John, each flaring with absolute lightning power.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Lightning continued to crash around John from his lightning domain, striking anyone caught in its reach, while also destroying many of the nearby buildings. By now, John had discovered a certain cadence to the tribulation lightning above.

The strikes would come down in fixed intervals, unless someone was trying to interfere with its destruction of John. Each time it struck down, the strike would be stronger than the previous. However, John could tell that after each tribulation strike, the clouds above grew ever so slightly weaker.

"It seems as though even tribulations that want nothing more than to kill me have their limits. I'm guessing that even the heavens themselves have laws they must follow, but such a thing is far beyond my scope of understanding. The only thing that matters is that if I last long enough, the tribulation should eventually disappear."

John suddenly sped off in a certain direction as he felt the next tribulation lightning strike fast approaching. His body, powered by his Supreme Battle Art, flared unbelievable might, while his lightning domain destroyed whatever stood in his path. To those fleeing from him, he looked like an undefeatable battle god whose sole purpose was to destroy everything.

John reached his desired target just as the next tribulation strike was descending down on him. His finger pierced outwards, sending off a Lightning Ruin, which crashed into the closed gates of the Pill Hall's main entrance.

Boom!

A small hole was created in the sturdy front doors of the Pill Hall, allowing for John to slip inside. Just as he did so.

BOOM!

Another apocalyptic lightning strike from above pierced down towards John, who now stood within the Pill Hall. The tribulation lightning struck onto the top of the pill hall, and shattered anything it came into contact with. Its might was unstoppable, and with a single lightning strike, the entire Pill Hall was rent asunder.

"Fuck off!" John shouted out as his scythe slashed upwards at the lightning above.

BOOM!

Scythe and lightning beam struck together, sending a wave of absolute power radiating outwards. Any portion of the Pill Hall that still stood after the initial strike was blasted into smithereens.

John's body was launched into the ground below, the immense speed of his body forming a crater that stretched for a hundred yards. He eventually came to a stop, and quickly hopped on his feet. Using his scythe to fight back just now had reduced the strain on his body, which let John know he could fight back against this lighting.

He quickly hopped out of the crater and floated in the sky for a moment before he found his next target. His body blurred forward, and another tribulation lightning strike pierced down on him shortly after.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Thunderous booms continued to echo out over the Bloodfiend Sect for the next fifteen minutes. John's body sped from building to building during this time, taking down whatever stood in his path. His scythe slashed out at the lightning each time, fighting back as best he could to hopefully withstand the full tribulation.

Floating high in the sky in the far distance was a gathering of cultivators. They all looked down on the Sect's destruction below, their faces turning red with unbridled anger.

"Sect Leader Allfiend, what should we do? We cannot allow this destruction to continue," an Elder said to Allfiend with panic in his voice.

They were watching everything they had worked to create be destroyed before their very eyes.

"What can we do?" Allfiend replied angrily through gritted teeth. His fists were clenched so tight that they were turning white, and his body trembled with anger.

His plan had been perfect. He had not only discovered John through his own intellect, but also knew what contingency plan John would have to get out of this situation. It had all gone according to plan, but then the tribulation occurred.

Such a thing could never be accounted for, and Allfiend felt incredibly stifled that his perfectly calculated plan was destroyed by something so far out of his control.

"Can't we launch long range attacks on him? Perhaps the tribulation clouds won't take notice of us if we're far enough away," an Elder suggested.

Allfiend glanced towards the Elder with a look of disdain, as if he considered the Elder to be incredibly stupid.

"If you want to throw your life away, then go for it," Allfiend replied, no longer interested in that Elder.

The Elder, who was a Late Heaven Tribulation Elder, took this as an opportunity to prove his worth to Allfiend, and ascend to higher heights within the sect. His sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he raised it to his side as it began to glow with incredible might.

After a moment of charging the attack, the Elder swung his sword down with his strongest power.

"Haaa!"

The Elder shouted as he slashed his sword out. A crimson sword image, dozens of yards long, appeared in the air and rapidly traveled down to the sect below. Allfiend, as well as the other Elders, instantly separated themselves from the Elder who had just attacked.

"Hmm?"

John felt his hair stand on their ends, and his head swiveled in a certain direction in the sky. His eyes narrowed as he saw a rapidly approaching sword attack, and his body flared with lightning as his speed was pushed to the very limits.

Boom!

The sword image crashed onto the ground at John's location, sending a rain of rubble and debris sailing outwards as a large crater was formed from the powerful battle art. John's body was seen flashing out of the cloud of debris, narrowly dodging the attack.

His narrowed eyes looked to the sky above, and the source of the attack, when…

BOOM!

Tribulation lightning struck down in the far distance. John saw the lightning strike a singular person who floated high above in the sky, most likely the one who had attacked him.

"Idiot," John sneered as he once again began to move throughout the sect at incredible speeds. There was plenty more of the Bloodfiend Sect to destroy.
