“IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE!” Asuros roared several times like someone who had finally snapped and gone insane. His body trembled due to both overwhelming shock, and absolute jealousy, as John continued to defy the established laws of the cultivation world over and over again.
Alongside Asuros, all the other youths save for Miko and Laia stared at John with absolute shock on their faces. The battle so far had been nothing but mind-shattering in how impossibly strong both fighters were, but John’s display had finally shattered the reality of what should be possible when it came to cultivation.
It was impossible to use both essence and body attacks with equal power, and that law had never been broken. Even cultivators with incredibly powerful innate variant bodies could only bridge the gap, but not close it completely. John’s essence attack was equal in power to his physical attacks, despite not lowering either his transformation art or Supreme Battle Art.
“IMPOSSIBLEEEE!” Asuros roared, his roar so furious that it shook the nearby land as he shot towards John once more.
Instead of waiting for Asuros to arrive before him, John’s battle axe glowed with golden brilliance as he slashed it outwards.
Advent of Annihilation!
A golden battle axe image slashed out from John’s battle axe, surging towards Asuros with incredible speed and power. Asuros roared with furious rage again as he slashed out his massive saber against John’s battle art.
Boom!
An apocalyptic explosion of Qi blasted out as the two attacks collided, after which Asuros shot out of the explosion towards John once more. Slight wounds covered his body after being caught in the very middle of it, but his wounds healed at a visible rate thanks to his Asura Transformation as he appeared before John once more.
Lightning once again flared as John unleashed another Lightning Disintegration towards Asuros’, who slashed out with his saber to meet the attack once again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sky and earth trembled non-stop as the battle between the two juggernauts reached its climax. John unleashed both overwhelmingly powerful essence arts and physical attacks, which were met with unstoppable physical might from Asuros.
Both fighters no longer held anything back as they fought to the death with everything they had. They soared through the battlefield like demonic war gods, almost as if they were capable of shattering continents and emptying oceans.
The sky lit up, the ground shattered, and everything in their path was destroyed as their battle soared high into the sky, and then below the earth as both fighters exchanged overwhelming attacks and suffered gruesome wounds.
The Honorable Alliance and enemy youths were forced to retreat even further away as the battle intensified, as being caught up in any one of their attacks would without a doubt be instant death.
Draconic roars boomed out, lightning surged, mountains crumbled, and space trembled as the fight to the death raged on. Their speed was almost impossible for the others to keep up with visually, but each exchange of attacks paused their movements just enough for all the youths to see a glimpse of what was going on.
Each exchange revealed more and more wounds on both youths’ bodies, as their battle seemed to have come to a perfect stalemate. Both displayed equal levels of power, a fact which sent numb shock through all the youths as if they could be surprised no further.
Asuros was displaying power that should be impossible for a Half-Step Dao Transformation cultivator, and yet his power was being matched by a Middle Heaven Tribulation cultivator; a feat far more impossible. If they weren’t seeing it with their own eyes, they would never believe it, and even now many didn’t know if they were dreaming or not.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The battle continued to rage on for over half an hour as the two sides fought with gruesome intensity. Gaping wounds appeared on their arms, legs, chest, and faces, while the blood of both themselves and their enemy slicked their bodies.
Advent of Annihilation!
John unleashed another Advent of Annihilation, which slammed onto Asuros’ saber. The force of the attack blasted against Asuros, who was not able to fully guard against it.
He slammed onto the earth below, burrowing deeply within while John shot down towards him, pressing the attack as much as he could.
Boom!
The ground erupted outwards with a furious roar as Asuros surged out from within, appearing towards John instantly. Both youths were moving at full speed, and the exchange of battle axe and saber slashes once again shattered everything around them as both youths were violently knocked back from the overwhelmingly powerful collision.
Puh!
Both John and Asuros coughed out blood from the exchange, but ignored it completely as they instantly resumed their battle. Asuros appeared next to John like a ghost, slashing sideways towards his waist. John’s battle axe slashed outwards to meet the attack, but he pulled back its power as he noticed the attack was a feint from Asuros, who instantly appeared to his side with his sharp claw-like fingers piercing towards his waist.
John pulled back his battle axe, but knew he could not move it in time to block Asuros’ attack. His head swiveled to the side as his mouth opened wide with power.
Roar of the Jade Dragon!
The powerful draconic roar slammed onto Asuros before his attack could land, blasting him backwards while causing his mind and soul to become pained for a short moment. He quickly washed away the soul pain as John appeared before him, unleashing another Advent of Annihilation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The battle continued to rage onwards in a similar fashion, while the youths below could tell that both fighters were starting to reach their limits. Gruesome wounds covered almost their entire body, and were it anyone else with such wounds, they would have most likely already perished.
Bang!
Weapons collided once more, sending John and Asuros in opposite directions several hundred yards away. Asuros did not follow up the attack, and instead inspected John with a scrutinous gaze before a large, sinister smile appeared on his face. Both John and Asuros were feeling overwhelming pain, and were drawing deep, agonized breaths in an attempt to absorb as much surrounding Qi as possible.
“I see you’ve unlocked your Limiter of Healing,” Asuros mused through heavy breaths of pain as he studied John, “but thanks to your low cultivation, you have yet to unlock your Limiter of Life.”
His words caused John to frown slightly, but John remained silent as he let Asuros speak. John had yet to hear about the Limiter of Life, but based on Asuros’ words, it was most likely the Limiter he would encounter once he stepped into the Dao Transformation Realm.
“I have yet to fully unlock it myself, but have managed to partially do so,” Asuros continued with proud arrogance. He noticed John’s lack of a reaction, and smiled wider as he knew the truth of his words. “Let me tell you one thing then. The Limiter of Life is similar to the Limiter of Healing, but instead of healing wounds, it increases life energy greatly, allowing one to maintain full combat prowess closer to the edge of death.
While you may be impressive, this is your fatal weakness. Your only route forward is to succumb to my assault, at which point I will rip off your head and consume you completely, perfecting my transformation once and for all,” Asuros concluded, smiling menacingly at John as if he were nothing but prey to be slaughtered.
John’s deep breaths finally calmed as he stared at Asuros with a calm gaze…a calmness that was not the gaze of someone about to die. Asuros frowned as he saw a small smile appear on John’s face, as if he were looking at someone completely idiotic.
“And you know what your weakness is?” John replied, but received no answer from Asuros.
“Your weakness is your arrogance…and your solitude,” John said, his words growing louder and more confident. “In the cultivation world, one must use everything at their disposal to tread forward. Only a fool thinks he can do everything alone.”
“HAHAHA,” Asuros started laughing maniacally upon hearing John’s words before eventually containing his laughter. “What? Do you think that soul friend of yours can save you now? He’s already a spent candle. He has no ability to help you anymore,” Asuros dismissed John’s words.
John’s smile widened as he stared at Asuros as if he were truly a fool.
“Laia!” John suddenly roared, his actions slightly surprising Asuros as he had no idea who that was. Asuros’ surprise quickly turned into shock, then complete disbelief as an incredibly vibrant energy started to surge out from within John, healing his wounds at an impossible speed. Before Asuros could even react, John’s body had been completely healed, returning his combat state to the height of his power.
“IMPOSSIBLE!” Asuros couldn’t help but roar once more, as for the first time in this battle, he was no longer in control.
“Repeating that word over and over won’t make it true,” John replied as his aura surged out with full power once more, and his battle axe slashed out with apocalyptic power.
