Ascension of the Immortal Asura

John ’s words were shocking to hear, but no one dared look down on them anymore.
Giles, his opponent, laughed in an amused manner as he heard John ’s comment.
However, there was a tinge of anger in that laughter, as he felt he was being looked down on.

”Haha, looking down on me is a mistake you won ’t be making twice, ” Giles replied.

John shrugged his shoulders at Giles ’ reply, as if he couldn ’t be bothered to reply.
His scythe suddenly appeared in his hands, and his aura began to steadily rise.

’If I could use my full body strength and Immortal Asura Body, I would be able to kill him with a single blow as well, but I ’m quite a bit weaker being unable to utilize my full body strength.
However, my essence power should still be more than enough to dominate this entire competition. ’

Cultivation wise, John had finally caught up to his peers.
His cultivation was at the Late Core Formation Realm, and even the Three Emperors were only at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm.
While that was a slight bit higher, it was technically still considered the same realm.

The power of his twenty times compressed dantian was absolutely horrifying when compared to the rest of all cultivators, and so even with just his essence power, he would still be able to dominate anyone within the same realm.
This boy, the core disciples, and the Emperors would last in battle a bit longer, but they would fall, just like all the rest.

Seeing John power up for battle, Giles did the same.
He steadied his saber in front of himself, and stared at John with absolute concentration.
He knew that John was an incredibly difficult opponent, and that he would need to go all out.
However, he was confident that even if he couldn ’t win, he could still keep his life.

”You may begin! ”

The starting words sounded out from the Elder, and the crowd instantly went silent, as they held their bated breath.

Instantly, Giles ’ saber glowed with a brilliant light as he slashed it down towards John.
A massive saber image cleaved forward, scraping against the arena floor.
The arena floor was made out of incredibly durable material, but this attack of Axil ’s was able to leave a small singular scratch trail behind as the attack pierced forward.

Boom!

The saber image exploded onto John ’s position, bathing the location in a powerful explosion of Qi.
John quickly dashed to the side at the last moment, narrowly dodging the attack.
He looked back towards the explosion, and a look of approval appeared on his face.

’Not bad, that attack truly was quite impressive.
However, it ’s still far from enough to injure me, let alone kill me. ’

After narrowly dodging the attack, John pressed forward with all his might.
Qi rapidly surged through his legs as he utilized one of the movement speed techniques of the Bloodfiend Sect.

His figure appeared before Giles in an instant, who was prepared for the counter attack.
Giles sped forward to meet him, and his saber was slashing out with the same power as the first attack, as if he wanted a head on battle.

John noticed this, and decided to welcome it completely.
His saber slashed forward from the side, as it too began to glow with the familiar red light of the Crimson Blade Slash.
While he had not been expecting Giles to move forward to meet his attack, it made no difference.

”Hmph, too late, ” Giles smirked as he noticed John ’s late attack.
With him moving forward, John had less time to prepare his Crimson Blade Slash, which would result in a less powerful attack.

Saber and scythe slashed out, and collided with absolute power.

Boom!

An incredibly powerful boom echoed throughout the entire stadium, as weapons and battle arts collided.

Giles, unable to withstand the power of the collision, suddenly flew backwards across the arena while his eyes were wide open in shock.
While he had not been injured in that last exchange, he had completely lost out on power, despite forcing John to unleash his attack early.

”Impossible, ” Giles muttered in shock while stabilizing his body and slowing down his momentum.

With the ability to fly, knockout ’s in these battles were quite rare.
Cultivators could stabilize their momentum much quicker than before, as Giles had just done.
Before he could press forward once again, John appeared in front of Giles like a blur.

His speed was almost unreal, and even the crowd of disciples had trouble keeping up with it.
Only the Elder ’s, as well as the Three Emperors, could fully track his movements.

He appeared directly above AGiles in the air several feet above, and his scythe was already slashing down with incredible power.

Crimson Blade Slash!

A second Crimson Blade Slash, far more powerful than the first, cleaved directly towards Giles.
Giles grit his teeth and slashed his saber out with full force to meet the attack, as he knew he could not dodge in time.

Peng!

Weapons and battle arts collided once again, and an incredible force entered Giles ’ arms from the collision.
He felt as if his arms were about to break from resisting the incredible power, and his knees nearly buckled beneath him, but he managed to hold on and fully resist the attack.

However, it had taken his absolute full power to resist that attack, which left him open for a moment while his body and Qi recovered from such excessive use.

Taking advantage of this momentary state of recovery, which lasted less than a tenth of a second, John utilized his movement technique once more to appear behind Giles.
He had only used part of his full strength in that last exchange, and so was not suffering from the same recovery period as Giles.

”It ’s over. ”

These words echoed in Giles ’s mind as his eyes opened wide.
John had just been before him, but disappeared in an instant.
His movement was so fast that it had appeared like a blur to Giles, but the source of the voice came from directly behind him.

Giles spun as fast as he could, but his eyes once again widened in shock and fear as the cold steel of John ’s scythe was already at his neck.

Che!

John ’s scythe arced out beautifully, and a brilliant red shower of blood rained down as Giles ’ head was severed cleanly from his body.
Fear was still etched on his face as it plopped down to the crowd below.

The jubilant crowd, all cheering at the sight of his death, and John walking towards his head was the last thing he saw before darkness took over.
