Ascension of the immortal Asura
chapter-699

Che!

Che!

Che!

His sword blurred several times as he unleashed three quick attacks, each attack unleashing a pure white sword image towards the oncoming attacks. The sky seemed to cry out in pain wherever the sword image traveled, as it could sever space itself.

The other youths all gasped slightly, as if it were a purely instinctual reaction to the sword images. They were far too sharp and profound to exist in this world as well.

Che!

Che!

Che!.

The sword images slashed into several of the battle arts in an instant, slicing directly through them. Although no one knew how it was possible, the sword art seemed to sever the Dao and power of the battle arts themselves, making them dissipate into nothingness instead of exploding with power.

Several more battle arts reached Miko, whose body blurred as he flashed to the side with incredible speed, dodging the attacks as they blasted into the ground and caused massive explosions. The youths quickly shifted their shocked gazes to the side, as they spotted Miko standing there completely unharmed.

"Who the fuck is this kid?" one of the Forbidden Alliance youths couldn't help but roar in rage after recovering from his shock. They couldn't enter his mysterious yet overwhelmingly powerful domain, and their attacks from afar were also unable to reach him. They had never heard of a soul cultivator youth from the Divine Martial Continent this powerful, yet alone one that also had overwhelming essence power.

"What do we do?" a nearby monster race youth asked while looking on with a cold yet cautious gaze at the distant Miko.

"What can we do?" the Forbidden Alliance youth replied, completely out of ideas.

Taking advantage of the brief respite, Miko's gaze shifted towards the other parts of the battlefield, gauging the status of how things were going. He spotted the three Bobs battling against Zulos, whose use of his body battle art had increased his power to a level that he was holding his own against the three Bobs.

If the three Bobs were using perfect teamwork they would have already overwhelmed him, but their pride prevented them from doing so, resulting in a relatively stalemated battlefield. The other battles were much the same, as a relative stalemate was achieved in the war. Both sides fought with fearsome ferocity, while youths on both sides fell dead by the minute. An almost invisible battle entered his vision, as Miko spotted Number one and Slaughter One battle it out, both using incredibly sharp and lethal battle arts, but neither being able to beat the other just yet.

Elsewhere, Igris was slowly but surely overwhelming Vargul, and if he was able to beat him, his assistance elsewhere would be of great help. Miko's gaze shifted to the final powerful battle he had witnessed when entering the warzone, but his gaze narrowed as he noticed it was no longer happening.

"Tch, so pathetic!" a cold and mocking voice sounded out next to the two youths, who couldn't help but shiver in fear as they noticed who it was. They watched as she moved towards towards Miko without a care, as if she didn't fear his soul domain at all.

"Watch out!" they both cried out in a panic, but felt shock once again as she entered the domain and continued on, pausing only for a brief moment at its borders.

Miko watched with calm eyes as Amber Bloodrose entered his domain, as if she was not concerned about it at all. His eyes narrowed slightly as she fully maintained her consciousness upon entering the domain, before his gaze shifted into the distance.

Lying on the ground was Luth, who had a massive sword wound over his chest, while blood poured out profusely. Another Honorable Alliance girl raced towards Luth and started to heal him with her healing powers, but the state of his wound made his recovery questionable at best.

Miko's gaze shifted back towards Amber, who landed before him and looked at him curiously.

"I was having fun with Luth, but you seem far more fun to play with, so I finished him off quickly before coming here," Amber explained as she noticed Miko's gaze. "If I'm not mistaken…you must be the Soul-Sage I've been hearing so much about!"

"What?

"The Soul-Sage?"

"No wonder he's so powerful!"

Several cries of shock echoed out from the distance as the other youths heard Amber's words.

"And you must be Amber Bloodrose," Miko replied calmly yet emotionlessly, almost as if the battle art had changed his personality from his normal cheery and smug self.

"This soul domain of yours is quite incredible," Amber replied, an intrigued yet bloodthirsty smile lingering on her face. "I need to use my full powered soul defense just to maintain myself. It's almost as if your domain is trying to rip my soul from my body…interesting."

"And yet you're able to resist its effects. Your soul is incredibly powerful," Miko replied calmly, as if he was not concerned about her ability to resist his domain. "You're the first to resist it…but let's see how long you can manage to do so!"

Che!

Miko's sword flashed as he unleashed a sword art, while Amber did the same. A white and blood red sword image collided before them as the two commenced their battle. Both Miko and Amber flashed around the battlefield, their speed so fast as to be almost invisible to the other youths, while each of their sword arts were profound enough to drive the others mad with fear and envy.

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

The two continued to trade blows nonstop for quite some time, with neither winning out in their exchanges. As the fight dragged on, Amber couldn't help but narrow her eyes at Miko, almost unable to believe his strength. Miko's cultivation was at the Late Heaven Tribulation realm, while Amber was at the Peak Heaven Tribulation Realm.

In fact, her cultivation was almost at the point of stepping into the Half-Step Dao Transformation Realm, putting it firmly above Miko's. And yet, she was not able to get any advantage at all, the first time she had ever lost out to someone weaker than her. It was the first time in her life that she started to feel inferior to another, and a wave of jealousy and anger started to grow within her.

However, at the same time, a growing sense of frenzied ecstasy flooded her body, as she fantasized about killing Miko and absorbing his blood. Her wicked smile continued to grow as her battle raged on, almost as if she were on the edge of losing herself in the expected ecstasy to come.

"Amber, kill him already!"

A panicked cry boomed out from nearby, snapping Amber out of her focus in battle. Her cold, angered, and murderous gaze shifted towards the youth who had yelled at her, almost as if she were about to dash towards him and kill him for interrupting her battle. However, her face trembled slightly as she finally noticed the state of the battlefield around her.

Dozens of Forbidden Alliance, monster race and barbarian youths laid dead on the ground that were not dead before her battle had started. Slight confusion appeared on her face for the briefest of moments, until she saw a nearby Forbidden Alliance youth turn stiff as their battle approached them.

That youth was locked in a heated battle without a Honorable Alliance youth, who used the opening to land a lethal blow on his opponent. Realization dawned on Amber, whose gaze snapped back to Miko, whose soul domain was still active. As their battle dashed around the warzone, his domain would overwhelm the enemy youths, allowing their opponents to kill them swiftly.

If this were allowed to continue for just a little while longer, the battle would be lost. Amber gritted her teeth in frustration and anger as she realized what Miko was doing, while her blood began to boil from rage. Her sword began to glow an incredibly dark red color as her power flared once more, unleashing her full strength for the very first time.

"Die!"
