Somewhere in the chamber, shrouded in a formation and unnoticed by John, Daoist Eternal Weapon sat comfortably on a reclined seat, watching the battle unfold before him. He watched John unleash his transformations, which impressed and stunned him no matter how many times he saw it.
"Truly a genius of geniuses, and even that may be an insult to his talent," Daoist Eternal Weapon mused as he watched John unleash his Heavenly Lightning Domain as well, something that should not be possible with him already using two transformation arts.
He watched John narrowly dodge the Tigers attack, and nodded his head in approval.
"Impressive reflexes. However, that casual attack should have made him realize the difference in strength. A pity he wasn't just a bit stronger, or he could have potentially learned a thing or two from this battle that would greatly benefit him. However, his strength is still too low. He should be giving up soon, if not now. He can come collect the weapon in a few years once his strength has risen a bit," Daoist Eternal Weapon continued, but suddenly stopped as he noticed the smile appear on John's face. The smile was clearly one of excitement, and had not been what he had been expecting to see.
"He's going to keep fighting! This boy is insane!"
…
Boom!
Another powerful attack slammed down on John's position, who unleashed his fastest speed to dodge the attack once more. After dodging the attack, John quickly raised his right arm and pointed towards the beast, and instantly unleashed a powerful Lightning Disintegration!
Boom!
The large cavern lit up brightly as the lightning exploded outwards towards the tiger, who roared loudly while increasing its power even further, revealing it had barely used any of its power thus far.
The flames surging off its back grew in both size and intensity, while the frosty aura grew larger and colder as well, as if it were capable of freezing everything in existence. Half the chamber was heated to the extreme, as if it were the middle of a volcano, while the other half was as if it had been bathed in an ice storm for a thousand years, freezing everything solid and covering the chamber with a thick layer of ice.
These two conflicting elemental powers changed locations as the tiger moved around, with the inferno appearing to its right, and the freezing frost appearing to its left, leaving not a single inch of the chamber untouched.
Boom!
Another beam of lightning exploded out from John's finger, piercing towards the FrostFire Tiger. The surging flames surrounding the tigers one half flared out and slammed against the lightning beam, neutralizing it completely. When attacking from the frost side of the tiger, the beam became frozen in the air by the frigid aura, something John did not even know was possible.
"Shit. My attacks are not strong enough to even reach it, let alone damage it!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The tiger sped towards John with ceaseless confidence, unleashing attack after attack on him, which he managed to avoid with the narrowest of margins every time. His battle axe had not been used yet, as his speed would drop slightly from wielding such a heavy weapon. With how narrowly he was avoiding the dangerous attacks, he could not afford to lower his speed by even a step.
As John dashed around, barely dodging the tiger's attacks, he was constantly moving from inferno to bitter cold frost, over and over, making the effects of either feel even more severe on him.
The heat was strong enough to make him feel as though he were burning alive, and his flesh was constantly charring from its power. Whenever he stepped into the frost-covered half, he felt as if he was freezing alive. His movements became stiff and rigid, making it harder to move efficiently while he barely avoided being frozen solid.
However, thanks to both his incredibly durable body and Limiter of Healing, John was able to hang on without being burned to a crisp, or frozen solid. With both his body transformations active, his durability was on the same level as a Late Dao Transformation body cultivator, making it so that he could withstand the frightful power of the FrostFire Tiger.
Boom!
After dodging another attack and unleashing a counterattack without any effect, John's mind raced with ideas as he thought about how to land an attack on the beast. None of his range attacks had enough power to reach the tiger's body, and for some reason, John felt that approaching the tiger for a physical attack was not a smart idea.
A strange aura shrouded the tiger's body, something that he could not identify. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before, but despite not knowing what it was, he could tell that the most dangerous area in the entire cavern was directly next to the tiger.
'Should I unleash my bloodline ability? Doing so would put me on the same level as this Tiger, which would allow me to land an attack most likely, but can I afford to use my bloodline ability right now? Shit, if only I had my scythe, I could unleash a Divine Reaping Scythe which could most likely carve through its powerful aura thanks to the spatial aspects of the attack. That bastard really screwed me over!'
Boom!
The ground trembled violently as John dodged another attack, which had been a hellish beam of flames that the tiger had shot out of its mouth, like that of a dragon. The ground melted where the attack landed, unable to withstand the heat of the tigers breath.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom
More attacks were unleashed by the Tiger, either a hellish beam of fire, or a frigid beam of ice, both strong enough to injure him if it landed directly on him. John unleashed lightning beam after lightning beam, countering the attacks that he could not dodge in time.
At the same time, his Heavenly Lightning Domain unleashed beams of lightning as well, some which were used to counterattack, and some used to slow down the Tigers movements as it raced after him.
Like this, a stalemate broke out, as John continuously dodged the Tigers attacks by the narrowest of margins. His mind raced with endless thoughts and possibilities to change the tide of battle, but could think of nothing in his arsenal to use at the moment.
'Shit. If only I could unleash a fused attack of the Dao of Destruction and Power, I could maybe land a critical attack on the Tiger, but I can't fuse the Dao's yet, let alone use it in battle…'
John felt frustration well up inside him, as he knew of a potential solution to his predicament, but was not able to utilize it. Having touched upon the fusion process briefly for a moment once before made it even more frustrating, even if the fusion hadn't been a successful one suitable for use as an attack.
As he thought of this, John dodged another attack and stared at the FrostFire Tiger in frustration. As he stared at the tiger and the mysterious aura around its body, his eyes widened slightly as a thought popped into his mind.
'Wait a minute! Could it be…?"
