Ascension of the immortal Asura
chapter-663

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle between John and the Demon raged on with apocalyptic power, shattering the land beneath their feet as it was hopeless to withstand the intensity of the battle. Mountains crumbled, valleys caved in, and rivers and lakes evaporated as their battle ravaged the land.

John felt his body pushed to the very edge in the battle, as just blocking an attack from the Demon took his full power, while his body just barely managed to hold on and not fall apart. Laia's healing energy continued to pour into his body unhindered, which was the only thing keeping him alive this long. Were it not for her healing powers, he would have not been able to hold on this long.

Even so, the damage to his body was becoming unsustainable even for Laia, and John could also feel his essence Qi reserves start to run low.

After narrowly avoiding another attack from the Demon, John appeared beside it and pointed his finger towards it.

"Futile!" the Demon roared as it knew what attack was coming.

Bang!

A powerful blast of lightning shot out of John's finger, slamming against the demon in an instant, while John's face paled slightly, as such an attack drained his essence Qi considerably. The Demon's eyes widened as it felt a destructive energy rampage through its body, something strong enough to damage its awe-inspiring body.

Roar!

The Demon roared in rage as its power flared outwards to resist the destructive tribulation lightning, while John appeared next to it and unleashed an attack towards its side. At the last moment, the demon flushed out all the destructive lightning, much faster than John had been anticipating. Even destructive heaven tribulation lightning could not contain it for long…

The Demon's elbow shot backwards towards John, the scythe-like blade piercing towards him. John's sword slammed against the base of the arm blade and was knocked backwards, unable to resist its might.

Bang!

The Demon unleashed another attack at Laia in the distance with this opening, which was met with a full powered counterattack from Kirii.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

John appeared next to the Demon once more and unleashed a barrage on it, including additional tribulation lightning attacks. The demon roared in pain and anger, as the destructive tribulation lightning was the first thing to cause true pain in the battle. Its power flared out each time to flush the lightning away, and would then counterattack John who appeared behind it after each exchange.

"Futile!" the Demon roared as it blocked another attack from John, "Just how much tribulation lightning can you unleash? You must have your limits," the Demon mocked. It could tell the tribulation lightning was a trump card, and yet it had done almost nothing for John.

John ignored the Demon's mockery as he continued his battle, unleashing more destructive blasts of lightning. Each attack sapped him of strength, and John knew the end of the battle was fast approaching, but that he just needed to hold on until the opportune moment. Laia's constant interferences with her Dao of Time bought him fractions of a second of openings, which was just enough to help him keep his life in the battle.

The fracture at the base of the Demon's blade-like spike continued to expand, although it was something that the Demon had failed to notice.

Crack!

Another collision between attacks caused the fracture to expand into a large crack, and John's gaze hardened as the time had finally come.

A crystal suddenly appeared in his hand, which he threw at the Demon with his full might. The crystal shot through the air like a shooting star and slammed against the Demon's chest, who had ignored the crystal as the power of the attack was beneath its notice.

Boom!

The crystal suddenly exploded, and the Demon's eyes went wide in shock as a thick death energy washed over him in an instant. The death energy started to slowly corrode the Demon's exterior, as well as drain him of strength. If the death energy was ignored, it would be able to do grave damage to the demon, which it could not allow.

Grahhhhh!

The Demon roared in pained anger, its aura exploding outwards once more to flush the deathly energy away from its body. At this time, John appeared next to it like a ghost, and his sword slashed towards the Demon's right arm. The attack was ignored as the Demon focused on the death energy, as it knew John's weapon was not capable of injuring him significantly.

Crack!

A resounding crack boomed out as John's sword slammed against the Demon's elbow blade, separating it from its body. The demon roared in pained anger again, and turned towards John with unbridled fury and unleashed another attack towards him. With the death energy still lingering on its body, its movements were slowed when compared to normal, allowing John this one final opening. With the scythe-like blade in hand, John pierced it forward with the greatest might he could muster as he pushed his body strength to the absolute limit.

Che!

Che!

The sound of parting flesh and shattering bone rang out as two attacks connected with their target. One of the Demon's massive fingers pierced directly through John's right chest, its sharp claw emerging out of his back. However, the Demon did not smile at its successful attack, and instead its gaze shifted down towards its chest.

Its scythe-like blade was pierced directly into its heart, and an explosive wave of Qi from John surged through the blade and into the Demon's heart.

Boom!

Blood erupted from the Demon's chest and mouth as its heart exploded. The Demon dropped to its knees as life drained from its body, and its surprised gaze shifted towards John, changing to a gaze of dying pleasure. Its sinister looking maw grinned widely as it stared the gaping wound on John's chest, one that was sure to be fatal.

"With this death…I was able to kill an Asura….a worthy trade indee-"

Bang!

The Demon's dead body fell to the side, shaking the ground with its weight. John stared at the now dead Demon, his hardened gaze becoming unfocused as he felt his life slowly fade away as well. His body fell on the ground next to the Demon, and the last thing his blurry gaze saw before going black were hurried footsteps racing towards him.
