Ascension of the Immortal Asura - Chapter 715

John’s resolute and heroic figure hovered above the battlefield as the roars of praise and elation basked over him. His anger died down slightly as he realized that despite not killing Parker or Asuros as he was now known, he had still saved the lives of hundreds of Honorable Alliance youths.

“John! John! John!” the roars of ecstasy continued ceaselessly as the Honorable Alliance youths seemed to have lost their minds.

They cheered, cried, hugged each other, and erupted with roars of victory, as the last month had been nothing but a nightmare for them. While all the cultivators knew they treaded the path of a cultivator, which was a path rife with danger and death, they still felt nothing but relief and elation at the moment, as John’s overwhelming might had allowed them to live another day.

Adam, Iris, and Chase, who were standing within the Honorable Alliance camp couldn’t help but feel themselves overwhelmed with emotions as well. They had gone this far on the assumption that John might very well perish within the Dao Transformation realm trial, and yet he had arrived here with awe-inspiring might, saving them all from sure destruction.

Most relieved of all was Adam, who was finally able to slightly relax, knowing that his capture by the hands of Kadin had not resulted in John’s death.

Staring at John’s heroic figure, Laia also couldn’t help but find herself moved by the events occurring around her. She had grown accustomed to John’s freakish might during their plights during the Dao Transformation trials, but the exuberant celebrations of the youths around her reminded her of just how abnormal John was.

She felt her heart flutter with conflicting emotions, her gaze locked onto the one she had spent the last six weeks traveling with.

“Not bad,” a congratulations of praise drifted from Miko’s mouth as he stared at his friend, although it was heard by nobody other than himself.

“GRUAAAAHHHHH!” the three battle Bobs erupted with a roar of battle lust, almost unable to contain the urge to speed towards John and fight him just to vent their frustrations. However, they resisted the urge at the moment, as even they knew the war was not yet fully finished.

The cries of celebration flooded through John like a tidal wave, who couldn’t help but almost be wrapped up in the jubilations. However, his mind became clear as he reminded himself that the war was not truly over yet….not until every enemy youth perished underneath his heel.

John’s gaze snapped towards the distant group of enemy youths, who stared at him with expressions of absolute dread, as if they were staring at the bringer of death himself. If someone like Asuros was not able to kill John, then none of them could.

The group of enemy youths all shuddered in fear as John gazed at them, and without any form of communication, they all scattered like roaches in all directions. Any semblance of cooperation was thrown out the window as every youth focused on nothing but their own survival.

A frown appeared on John’s face as he watched the youths scatter, as even someone as powerful as him could not contain that many youths at once. With the futility of killing them all determined, his gaze locked onto a singular youth as his figure blurred from sight, speeding off into the distance.

Boom!

The ground exploded before Kadin as John landed before him, causing Kadin to jump with fright as the dust faded away. His trembling vision locked onto John as he became clear through the fading dust, while his mind raced with thoughts of what to do.

After a second of fear, Kadin’s gaze shifted as it became cold and resolved.

“I refuse to believe you still have Qi to spare after your battle!” Kadin roared, confident that John’s demeanor was fake at the moment. Although he wasn’t one hundred percent sure of it, fighting back was his only potential option of getting out of this alive. He had sentenced John to death when he knocked him into the Dao Transformation trial, and had tortured Adam to death as well. There would be no talking or begging his way out of this one.

Normally Kadin would resort to his family name as a shield, as most dared not to offend the Starforge Clan. However, he knew John was a madman who cared not for such things, and so that option was worthless as well.

With his mind made up, Kadin’s aura flared with his peak power while his high grade sword appeared in his hand. While he was slightly fatigued from his battle with Adam, Iris, and Chase, he still had quite a bit of Qi reserves remaining. A formation disk appeared in his other hand, which Kadin infused with his Qi, activating it in an instant.

A powerful formation pressure slammed onto John, pressing down on him with incredible power. John raised an eyebrow as he felt the pressure attempt to restrict his movements, and watched as another formation disk appeared in Kadin’s hand once more as he activated that one as well.

Kadin did this several times, overlapping powerful formations with different effects. He would normally not have enough time to activate so many formations in a battle, but John made no moves at the moment, allowing Kadin to activate one after the other.

A barrier formed around John, several dozen yards wide in each direction, adding another layer of restriction on top of him. A glowing and complicated formation circle made of Qi from one of the formation disks suddenly appeared overhead and beneath his feet, spinning in opposite directions.

The formation circles picked up speed until they suddenly came to an abrupt halt. Both circles unleashed a devastating attack of ruinous energy towards John, bathing him in an explosion of destruction. The explosion blasted off the formation barrier around him, containing the explosion within and amplifying its power once more.

If Kadin unleashed this attack as he had just done, even Amber would not be able to walk out of it without gruesome wounds, or even death. Such was the ferocity of formations experts. They took quite a bit of time to set up their attacks, but once they did, their potency was unrivaled.

“Your blind arrogance will be your downfall!” Kadin shouted with malicious exuberance, while a smirk of confidence and joy appeared on his face as he watched John be drowned in his incredible combination attack.

His sword suddenly glowed with might as he slashed it out towards the explosion, unleashing a profound purple sword image into the explosion for good measure. His face paled a bit as the Qi expenditure of the combined attacks was frightening, making him become quite fatigued.

The sword image slammed onto something within, adding to the explosion once more. The ground trembled for miles in each direction, and many of the retreating youths stopped to see the outcome of the attack, while some felt hope appeared once more that Kadin had managed to kill or at least gravely injure John.

Kadin’s smirking gaze lingered on the explosion before him as it faded, and his smirk quickly vanished as disbelief appeared on it once more.

“Impossible!” he muttered in disbelief as his eyes and lips began to tremble.

…

The Honorable Alliance watched from a distance as Kadin unleashed his attacks on John, while heated discussion broke out amongst them.

“Should we help him?” one of the youths asked Miko, who they saw as the leader of the group at the moment.

Miko remained silent as he gazed at the fleeing enemy youths, but did not chase as he guarded the Honorable Alliance youths instead.

Boom!

The ground trembled before the youths as John landed violently before them, with a battered and bruised Kadin dragged along by the collar of his robe. The youths all held their breaths as John arrived, as if they were in the presence of a god, or a demon, as his Asura Transformation was still activated, sending a shiver of instinctual fear down all their spines despite knowing he was an ally.

John’s calm yet piercing red gaze shifted towards a certain individual, and he tossed Kadin forward towards that youth. Kadin’s body rolled over the ground several times before coming to the feet of Adam, who stared at him with cold and simmering rage.

“He’s yours to do with what you wish!”
