Ascension Of The Immortal Asura

Myriad Annihilation Scythe!

Myriad Annihilation Scythe, Second Attack!

John struck out with the first two stages of Myriad Annihilation scythe in an attempt to weaken the attack. The techniques collided, and John was dismayed to see that although the Myriad Annihilation Scythe dimmed the approaching attack slightly, it was still coming towards him with incredible power.

John focused once more on explosively sending body Qi to every inch of his body in order to achieve his most powerful state.

'I think I have to use the Supreme Battle Art to handle this attack. I don't want to use it, but I have no choice. I'll use it at the very last moment, and hopefully no one notices it.'

Ryans attack reached John, and John struck out with his scythe to meet the attack. His arm muscles were bulging, and veins could be seen popping out under his skin as he struck out with his full power. The very instant before Ryan's attack reached him, John explosively used the Supreme Battle Art to increase his body power to its very limits.

Both Jason and Dylan instantly narrowed their eyes and stared at John, unsure of what they had felt from John for a moment.

Boooom!

A massive explosion of Qi radiated outwards as a figure was seen flying backwards like a bullet. John tumbled head over heels several times before he finally managed to swing his scythe downwards with his full power and bury its blade into the stone arena below him while he his blood tumble inside him and his bones creak in pain from the power of the attack. He desperately held onto the shaft of the scythe, while his arms muscles bulged from the power needed to hold on to his scythe.

The stone arena contentiously exploded outwards as John used his buried scythe blade in an attempt to slow his momentum. After what felt like an eternity to him, John finally managed to come to a halt. His arms were still shaking from the force of the attack that he had received, and blood slightly flowed from his mouth as he had received some damage taking that attack head on. He let out a massive exhausted breath and looked behind him.

Just inches behind him, John saw the arena end and drop off to the ground below. John felt himself start to sweat at just how close he had come to losing in this fight if he was knocked off the stage.

'Even with my powerful body, I don't think I can receive that attack directly without half dying.'

After a second of composing himself, John put away his scythe and turned to look at Ryan. Ryan was breathing incredibly heavy, and looked like he was a candle flickering in the wind.

Ryan started to collapse, but before he hit the ground, John reached him and managed to keep him upright.

"That was one hell of an attack." John had no other way to describe it. It was the most powerful attack he had ever received in his life, and if he didn't have the Immortal Asura Body and the Supreme Battle Art, John would never have had the confidence to take it head on like he had.

"Ha, thanks. But in the end, it still wasn't enough. I concede" Ryan felt proud of that attack, but was still disappointed that he had lost.

"I can say with confidence that if it were anyone else in this tournament receiving that attack, you would have won." John truly meant these words. Although no one in the tournament besides himself would be kind enough to wait for such an attack to be completed, John was confident that no one else would have been able to receive that attack like he had, even including Dylan.

The crowd had been shocked into silence by the amazing attack and John's impressive defense, but immediately exploded into an uproar upon Ryan's concession.

"What the hell was that attack? How was it so powerful?"

"I think that's one of those War Mage attacks, but I've never seen it in person before."

"It sure was amazing however. I didn't know a Mist Creation cultivator could attack with that much power."

"I know, right? The boy who received the attack is amazing as well. That Innate Variant Body of his is already showing how advantageous it is. Otherwise, I doubt he would have been able to receive that attack without losing."

Many similar discussions were happening all throughout the crowd as John and Ryan hopped off the arena and walked towards their seats.

"That..was….awesome!" Miko Varis rushed up to them and enthusiastically shouted. He immediately started barraging them with questions, mostly questions for Ryan and what his attack was.

"It was a channeled Qi attack, which is a bit different than normal Qi attacks." Ryan didn't want to go into the details as he was still quite tired, and so he gave Miko a quick explanation to satisfy his curiosity.

John and Ryan sat down and focused on recovering their strength while they watched the remaining fights carry out. Joy, Dalton, and Dylan won unsurprisingly, while Ella Varis also managed to win her fight and proceed to the top eight competitors.

After concluding all the fights, Waylon Varis announced the new fights. Since there were only eight competitors left and only four fights, the fights were announced verbally instead of being posted on the board.

"The first fight will be Dalton vs. Adam. The second fight, Joy vs Steven. The third fight, Dylan vs Grant. And the fourth and last fight, John vs Ella."

John scratched his head in frustration as he heard the pairings. "First I had to fight you, and now I have to fight Ella. Why does it seem like I'm destined to eliminate all my friends. Just pair me against Dylan already so I can kick his ass."

Ryan nodded his head in agreement, while Miko had no idea how to proceed with the situation. "Do I cheer for you, or do I cheer for my sister? Ahhhhh, I don't know what to do. This is so frustrating." Miko wanted both to win, but that was obviously impossible.

John and company continued to sit in the stands as the first fight began. It was between Dalton of the Flowing River Sect, and Adam of the Varis Clan. The battle was absolutely impressive, and Dalton just managed to overpower Adam and win. In the second battle, Joy Ronan managed to overpower Steven from the Crimson Valley Sect and win, which led to the third fight between Dylan of the Crimson Valley Sect, and Grant Fenix of the Fenix Clan.
