The cultivator stepped out of the arch, a pleased smile evident on their face. Long, pitch black hair draped down her shoulders, while she wore a tight and revealing outfit. Her face was quite beautiful, but in a pure seductive way and almost evil way.
Her eyes quickly looked around, noticing the unusually empty space. She noticed John sitting alone, a few dozen yards ahead of her. His eyes burned with a cold rage, displeasing her greatly.
"I should kill you for looking at me like that," The girl said to John. She was Azalea, one of the Three Blood Emperors.
Flash!
Flash!
Two more flashes occurred at almost the same time at the third arch, revealing two more youths draped in blood red robes. Both were boys of similar builds, although one had short brown hair and a slightly ugly and wicked looking face, while the other had blood red hair and reddish tinted eyes.
His face was quite handsome, but his sharp gaze and features gave him quite an intimidating look.
They noticed the three of them standing in the same spot, having exited the trial at the same time, revealing their similar combat prowess's.
"You actually beat us here Azalea? You must have gotten lucky," the brown haired boy stated in a displeased voice. He was Culein, the Sword Emperor. It was rumored that he could cut down anyone in the same realm with just a single attack of his sword.
"Or I'm just stronger than y-" Azalea responded, but a powerful aura suddenly washed over them.
The Three Emperor's looked over to the source of the aura, John. John's eyes were staring directly at the boy with blood red hair, his eyes growing with a burning rage.
"Do you know him?" Azalea asked Damon.
"No, never seen him. But the way he looks at me displeases me. I think I'll kill him and refine his blood for my battle arts. It seems as if he has quite a strong lifeblood," Damon replied as he looked at John in a nonchalant manner.
John's aura was powerful, but his cultivation was only at the Early Core Formation Realm.
Outside the formation Adam had set up, all the disciples of the various sects were looking inwards, ready to witness what was about to happen.
Adam grimaced as he saw the Three Blood Emperors come out at the same time, especially when he noticed their cultivation levels.
"They're all in the Late Core Formation Realm now!" one Divine Soul Sect youth commented.
"They must have been rewarded with something to advance their cultivation within the trials," another said.
"Well, I was looking forward to a good fight, but now it will just be a slaughter," A Supreme Battle Sect boy spoke up.
There was no hope for John in their eyes. His only fate was to be instantly cut down. The faces of the Heavenly Lightning Sect disciples turned into ones of worry. They knew John was strong and could jump one level, but two was something he had never shown.
Not only that, but there were three Emperors, the strongest disciples of the Bloodfiend Sect. Their battle prowess was surely the highest of all disciples within the same realm. They had no idea how John was going to get out of this one.
Standing to the side of the crowd some distance away, a girl stood there with a slightly apprehensive look on her face. No one in the crowd noticed her, as if she was invisible to them.
Her lavender hair fell down to her waist, and her crystal blue eyes looked straight at John's back. She had only just met the boy before her, and didn't even know him, but for some reason, she felt worried for him.
Power began to build up on her hand, before it slowly faded away.
"I'll wait and see what happens. He doesn't strike me as someone who would throw his life away."
Back in the formation, John's aura continued to rapidly climb, as if a sleeping demon god was finally awakening.
'Three of them came out at the same time, and they're all in the Late Core Formation Realm. This has made things much more difficult, but it changes nothing.'
John slowly stood up, and a scythe quickly appeared in his hands.
Flash!
Flash!
Two more flashes of light appeared at the second gate, revealing two more youths wearing blood red robes.
"Now the two Kings have emerged. There's truly no hope for him," a youth commented.
The two Kings instantly noticed the unique atmosphere, and walked over to the three Emperors.
"What's going on?" one of the King's asked while staring at John.
"This ant before us had been staring at us like this since we came out. I'm not sure why, but let's just kill him and move on," Azalea replied.
She raised her hand, and power began to build up on it, growing to an incredible level.
Bang!
A powerful Qi attack exploded from her hands, piercing directly towards John. A powerful pressure from the attack pressed down on John, attempting to lock him in place. John scoffed at the approaching attack, as lightning began to dance on his legs.
Boom!
The Qi attack exploded on the ground where John was standing, sending a massive explosion outwards. This simple attack from Azalea was as strong as the Corpse King's ultimate attack, showing her immense power. Smiles appeared on all their faces, before they suddenly frowned and looked to the side.
A flash of blue and red blurred past them, slicing directly into one of the Bloodfiend Sect Kings.
"Gahhh!"
The boy had managed to twist his body at the last moment, but the sweeping scythe had still managed to sever one of his arms. His pained cries rang out as John attempted a follow up attack.
Peng!
A sword image instantly met his scythe attack, stopping it in its tracks. John was knocked back slightly as the Sword Emperor lowered his sword, having just saved his fellow disciple.
Due to them underestimating John, John had been able to land a significant blow to one of the Kings.? He had been hoping to cut one down in a surprise attack, but even the Kings were no pushovers.
"Kill him," The injured Bloodfiend Sect King screamed out in rage.
The five of them had not taken John seriously, but now none of them looked down on him. Five powerful attacks instantly struck out towards John, seeking to destroy him in a single blow.
Supreme Battle Art!
John activated the Supreme Battle Art, strengthening his body to immense levels. His scythe struck out in a circular manner, utilizing the comprehensions and insights he had just learned from the ancient battlefield to its full extent. This was John's strongest defensive scythe stance.
Booooom!
Five attacks collided against John's sweeping scythe, overwhelming him in an incredible explosion.
The crowd grimaced at the scene, assuming that John was surely dead from taking an attack like that head on.
John's body shot out of the explosion like a cannonball, sailing rapidly through the air.
Bang!
HIs body collided against the far side of Adam's formation, coming to a complete stop and bouncing back against it quite brutally. He fell to the ground below, managing to land on his feet.
"Oh? He's still alive?" Azalea spoke up with a disbelieving tone. Although those weren't their strongest attacks, even one of them was enough to erase an Early Core Formation cultivator, let alone five of them combined.
John looked up and wiped the blood off his lips as he stared at the five with cold and rage-filled eyes. His body ached from taking that incredible combined attack head on, but his combat prowess had not yet dropped.
'I didn't want to use my strongest battle state right away as I have limited reserves, but it seems I have no other choice. Immortal Asura Trans-'
John's asura blood began to surge as he started his transformation, but it quickly stopped as he noticed something. His soul space began to tremble, and a smile appeared on John's face.
Light flashed before John, quickly revealing a newcomer standing right before him. It was an odd looking creature, about the size of a wolf, and appeared to look more like a horse. It's cultivation was at the Mid Core Formation Realm.
'It seems as if that fruit he ate helped him out quite a bit as well. His power right now is quite incredible.'
John smiled as he stared at Kirii. Kirii was still using its disguise ability, making sure no one recognized it as a Kirin.
"Are you sure you're strong enough for this battle?" John asked.
Kirii had come out of his soul space on its own, and its growing battle intent showed its intentions clearly.
Kirii nudged his head against John's body, and his soul connection with John confirmed his intentions. Lightning began to dance over Kirii's body as it too began to power up to its peak state.
Although it didn't know much about what was going on, it could tell that John was in a dangerous situation, and so it had come out to help. Kirii was a heavenly beast, and so John was not too worried about it holding its own.
John patted Kirii's back as a confident smile appeared on his face.
"In that case, let's bathe this area in Bloodfiend Sect Blood, together."
