Chapter 1128 Entering the Yang Lotus
Like a demon emerging through the veil of reality, John's Asura form burst into existence. A black and red aura churned around him like an inferno from hell, twisting the air with its power. The Asura form overlapped his Dragon-God Shift, red intertwining with green, changing his body into an amalgamation of Dragon and Asura.
John bathed in the power he felt, his eyes closing for a singular moment. He tested the limits of his new Late Dao Transformation powers, then opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction. He then felt a gaze burning into his back, a gaze not filled with awe, horror, or disbelief, but instead shame and even...anger.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
He looked down towards the source of the gaze, and locked eyes with Ji'Han. Ji'Han stared up at him, his face mimicking the emotions John felt from his gaze. It was an expression of a tme genius humbled for the very first time in his life, a shocking realization that John had not even considered him a true opponent from the beginning.
It was at this moment that Ji'Han understood everything. He understood John's lack of concern towards him. He understood Lilian's words of caution. He understood the truth of the Illusory Testing Scores, and that John's impossible scores were not false, but just a testament to his genius.
It was an understanding of what it truly meant to be heaven- defying. Ji'Han then hung his head, staring down at his feet. He couldnt force himself to stare at the one who had not only taken everything from him, from the spotlight to the Ancient Blessings of the Three Dao's. Most of all, he couldn't face himself.
Despite everything that was going on, despite the harrowing danger that everyone felt, Ji'Han's first thoughts upon seeing John's transformation were of jealousy, anger, and embarrassment. He now only felt shame at himself, shame from thinking about such trivial things when everyone around was going to perish. While he thought of the spotlight, John thought of stopping the Yang-Sovereign.
He finally understood that there were levels above himself, levels that he would never be able to obtain.
"What...are you a Devil?" the Sword-Saint finally spoke up after recovering from his shock.
"No," John shook his head, his voice deep and sinister like that of an Asura. "But would it matter if I was?"
"I suppose not," the Sword-Saint shook his head. "You're on our side, and that's all that matters."
John raised an eyebrow at the Sword-Saint's even-headed reply, then nodded. The Sword-Saint eyed him up and down for a moment, then frowned.
"Is this the limit of your strength?" he asked. "I can feel your strength is on the same level as mine right now, the Half-Step Holy Manifestation Realm. While we outnumber the Yang-Sovereign, that will not be enough for us to win."
"I have another trump card," John said with a confident smile, his words shocking everyone to their cores. His combat prowess was already at the Half-Step Holy Manifestation Realm, a full five minor realms higher than his true cultivation. It was already beyond heaven-defying, beyond impossible, and yet he claimed to have more. "It's just that I can only use it for a few minutes at most, so I'm saving it for when we start the fight."
