Ascension of the immortal Asura
-
chapter-636
John's power exploded to heaven defying heights as he felt the might of his transformation art surge through his body and meridians once more. However, his gaze remained cold and grave as the lethal danger he felt from his fathers avatar above did not lessen at all.
His right hand gripped tightly around the shaft of his battle axe as he awaited his opponent's move. At the same time, the might of his three profound Daos, the Dao of Annihilation, Destruction, and Power began to emanate from his battle axe, increasing his might to another level again.
His eyes suddenly widened as his battle axe cleaved out, unleashing his most powerful Advent of Annihilation. The lightning avatar of his father has slashed out its sword towards John, its actions so fast that it almost appeared like it had never happened at all.
However, the absolute terrifying sword image, like the overwhelming sword art the youth had unleashed on him in the Divine Trial, slashed towards him, its speed incredible as the sword art reached him in an instant. The youth had needed to take a second or two to unleash this art in the Divine Trial, but that was not the case now.
His Advent of Annihilation slashed out and met the sword art, and the collision of the two battle arts created an explosion of apocalyptic might which seemed to shatter the very sky from its might. The ravaged earth below fractured as it was blown apart by the explosion, its power far greater than anything that had appeared before.Kirii's might flared out to the maximum for the first time as he unleashed a lightning beam attack against the explosion to resist it, while his aura enveloped Laia to protect her from harm. Laia's mouth opened in shock at the might of the two attacks, but she remained focused on the task at hand as she kept the link between her and John intact.
John's body shot out from the explosion like a cannonball, as the might of his Advent of Annihilation had not been enough to fight against that overwhelming sword art. His Advent of Annihilation was an ancient battle art used by the Jade Dragon Emperor himself, and yet its power and profundity paled in comparison to the sword art unleashed by the avatar of his father. As a result, his attack had lost out against the lightning avatars sword attack, which had slammed against his body with incredible might.
"John!" Laia called out as she saw John's body slam into the earth a distance away, the force of the impact shattering the already ravaged earth once more for a mile in all directions.
Roar!
A roar from within the crater boomed out, further ravaging the land. It did not sound like it belonged to a human at all, nor a dragon, but instead as if a primal demon was roaring in absolute rage. John's body shot out of the crater an instant later, his speed creating ripples in the air as he arrived before the lightning avatar once more.
Limiter of Pain!
Limiter of Power!Limiter of Speed!
John unlocked the three limiters within his body as his explosive might skyrocketed once more. Unleashing these three limiters alongside the Asura Transformation Art created monumental strain on his body, and John could feel his tendons nearly rupture, muscles rup, and bones crack. However, the divine healing powers from Laia immediately washed over these injuries, washing them away, allowing John to maintain this form without concern for himself.
He appeared before the lightning avatar in an instant, his arm muscles bulging like they would break through his skin at any moment. His battle axe cleaved out towards the lightning avatar, who slashed out his blood red sword in response. The sword attack seemed like a simple slash, but it contained a profundity beyond what John could recognize, like the casual attack was the most heavenly of sword arts.
Bang!
A calamitous force exploded out as the two attacks collided, which had resulted in a stalemate. Despite his overwhelming physical power and might being above the lightning avatars, the profundity of the lighting avatars sword arts more than bridged the gap.
John's eyes widened once more as a thousand blood red swords instantly appeared in the sky around the lightning avatar, as it unleashed the sword domain he had seen the youth use in the Divine Trial. The swords shot towards John, each sword sharp and powerful enough to injure him.
Heavenly Lightning Domain!
John instantly activated his lightning domain, as nearly five hundred lightning nodes appeared in the sky around him. The lightning nodes activated immediately, unleashing destructive bolts of lightning out towards the swords.
Blue and red explosions littered the sky as the battle between domains erupted. Each lightning bolt would destroy a sword, but another sword would quickly form to replace it. Lightning covered the sky like a defensive net as John did his best to counteract the sword domain. However, as his lightning nodes were outnumbers two to one, he was not able to block each and every sword with his lightning domain alone.
Blood red swords occasionally broke through his lightning domain, piercing towards his stomach, his chest, his head. His battle axe slashed out with his fastest speed to defend against the swords, although there were just too many to defend against. John's face turned even more grave as he decided to trust in Laia's abilities, and only focused on protecting his absolute vitals; his head, and his heart.
Blood red swords slashed through his domain defenses, slashing against his powerful body. Despite the lightning avatars beyond profound sword arts, his body's heaven defying toughness resisted taking severe damage. The swords that landed on his arms and legs slashed into his skin, but stopped momentarily afterwards before dissipating under John's extraordinary aura.
However, the non-stop assault from the swords was like a death by a thousand cuts, and he couldn't help but grimace in pain. However, that pain lessened after each attack, as Laia's divine healing power washed over the injury, wiping it away as fast as it could be created.
Advent of Annihilation!
Ignoring the sword assault on his body, John arrived before the lightning avatar once more and unleashed another axe battle art. The lightning avatar unleashed his divine sword art in response, as another apocalyptic explosion filled the sky, followed by another, and another.
The lightning avatar flashed to the side, his main sword cleaving towards John's waist. John's battle axe shaft appeared next to his waist, defending against the attack. However, an overwhelming force from the attack slammed against him, propelling his body through the sky for over a mile.
Che!
The lightning avatar suddenly unleashed an attack downwards during this opening, its target no longer John. Laia watched with wide eyes as the massive divine sword image, powerful and profound beyond compare, arrived before her.
