Ascension of the Immortal Asura

The skies above the battle seemed to open up, like the heavens appearing to pass judgment on all beneath it. A storm of lightning surged downwards, powerful enough to cause all four Late Dao Transformation cultivators to feel a surge of fear rush through them.

The attack was not strong enough to claim their lives outright should they turn to block it, but blocking it would mean undoing the Starforge Storm Domain, which was the only thing containing John at the moment.

“Shit! Block the attack, and kill whoever dares to interfere with our Starforge business!” the leader of the group yelled out, giving instructions to undo the domain and protect themselves.

All four cultivators immediately turned their attention to the attack racing down from above, and each unleashed a powerful sword art towards the lightning beams crashing towards them.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Five thunderous explosions rang out as four sword images clashed against the lightning beams, while the fifth lightning beam struck elsewhere. A powerful shockwave from the collision caught the attention of the four cultivators, who turned in a panic towards the explosion.

“Young Misses!” the leader bellowed out as he took in the sight of the lightning beam crashing against their flying ship, blasting it downwards towards the ground below. The ship crashed against a mountain, destroying it completely before finally coming to a destructive rest at the bottom of a gorge.

However, the ship was still intact and relatively undamaged, thanks to the formidable craftsmanship as well as defensive formations surrounding it. Instead, the man bellowed in a panic as he watched the ruinous explosion wash over Vivian, drowning her within.

The explosion faded quickly, revealing her figure, which was incredibly miserable looking. Her clothes were charred, and despite the fact that her dress was lined with protective formations, it was not unable to completely protect her. Blood flowed from several parts of her body, and she fell to the ground a mile below like a lifeless corpse, clearly unconscious from the explosion that had enveloped her.

A grimace appeared on the man’s face, who raced down towards his falling young misses.

“Where do you think you’re going?” a cold voice sounded out behind him, causing the mans grimace to turn to rage as he quickly turned around and slashed out his sword.

“I’ll kill you, you fucking brat!” the man bellowed out in rage as he unleashed a powerful sword battle art. This sword art was even more powerful than the one he had unleashed against Kirii’s attack, and was more than powerful enough to kill any Late Dao Transformation cultivator should it land on them, body cultivator or not. The man’s combat prowess was undeniable, and it became evident why he was tasked with guarding such an important figure of the Starforge Clan.

“Unfortunately for you, that will not be possible,” John replied with cold arrogance as he decided it was time to test the true limits of what his body was capable of. His scythe disappeared as he stored it away, something that shocked the man he was fighting. The man’s shock turned into a sinister smile as he stared at John with expectant mockery, as if John’s demise was now ensured. His attack had a spatial aspect to it, which locked down the nearby area, making it impossible to escape from quickly.

The only way for John to proceed was to take the attack head on, which was impossible without his weapon. As far as the man was concerned, John was now as good as dead.

In the split second before the attack landed, John noticed the man’s smug smile, and returned the smile in favor. His smile caused the smug smile to instantly vanish from the mans face, who knew that was not the smile of someone about to die.

As if answering his question of what was about to happen, a horrific blood red aura instantly exploded outwards, enveloping everything in the surrounding area. The man felt as if he had been plunged into the depths of hell, and felt his blood get colder, Qi slowed down, and even his soul become under attack by the absolutely sinister aura enveloping him.

But what horrified the man the most was not the nature of the aura, but its power, and the one who it belonged to. The man’s eyes widened as he saw John’s body instantly change, becoming something of nightmares. His eyes trembled as he fell under John’s blood red gaze, as if he were being stared at by a creature of pure evil.

After unleashing his Asura Transformation Art on top of his Dragon-God Shift, John felt an incomparable power surge through his body. At the same time, the normally dormant Limiter of Power activated, unleashing the true potential of his physical body. Unleashing all three aspects made John feel immense strain, as if he were about to break apart, but he ignored the pain and trusted in his body’s durability as he surged forward with absolute might. .

The sharp sword image arrived before him, roughly double the size of his body. It contained incredible power, enough to shatter an entire mountain range with ease, and eradicate any Late Dao Transformation cultivator who took the attack head on.

His fist surged forward as the sword image was now just two feet away from his body, about to cleave him in half. His right fist exploded forward, and at the last possible moment, John coated his fist with his most potent Dao comprehension.

Dao of Power!

The power of the heavens seemed to coalesce, with the focal point being his fist. The might emanating from John’s fist climbed even higher, further stunning the already stunned senseless man.

BOOM!

Fist and sword image collided in the air, each containing absolutely overwhelming power. After the briefest instant of a stalemate between the two, the sword image carved into John’s knuckles, drawing blood and slamming against bone.

Immediately afterwards, the sword image exploded in a shower of explosive Qi, unable to withstand the apocalyptic might of John’s fist, augmented by both his body transformations, as well as his Limiter of Power and Dao of Power!

The broken sword image, which contained an incredible amount of Qi, caused a horrific explosion to blast outwards, enveloping both John and the horrified man, who quickly reacted to the incomprehensible events and wrapped his body with protective Qi to defend against the explosion.

BOOM!

The explosion radiated outwards for miles, as if it would never end. It did eventually fade away a few seconds later, revealing two figures still hovering in the sky right next to each other.

The trembling eyes and blood-soaked face of the man stared at John, who was directly before him, hand plunged directly through the mans heart.
