Chapter 375 - Final Tribulation Strike
Chapter 375 - Final Tribulation Strike
High above the chamber, Allfiend and the Elder's all watched the events taking place below. Their fists and teeth were clenched as they watched on, unable to do anything.
After watching the cauldron take the tribulation strike head on and remain relatively unscathed, he let out a large sigh of relief.
The cauldron was on loan from the Divine Martial Continent, and so it had incredible origins. Even so, Allfiend couldn't help but worry about its destruction earlier.
The Elder's all sighed out with relief as well, but their relaxed expressions soon scrunched up once again as they all gazed below in shock.
"The boy can still increase his strength further?" an Elder exclaimed in shock as John unleashed his ultimate battle state.
"And not by a small amount either. There are clearly some incredible secrets to this boy," another Elder replied. "No wonder he was able to defeat our three Emperors in the ancient city.."
Allfiend glared at John, his hate growing by the second.
"We cannot allow this boy to live," Allfiend said through gritted teeth. "As soon as the tribulation is over, I will kill this boy myself."
BOOM!
The tribulation clouds high above suddenly stopped for the briefest of moments, before they began churning with far greater speed and power than before.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
As if angered to a point of no return, the tribulation clouds suddenly unleashed successive strikes at John, each more powerful than the previous.
A serious look appeared on John's face as he noticed the tribulation clouds grow ever more furious with him.
"Hmph, it's obviously this Immortal Asura Body of mine you hate. Let's see what's stronger then. Your lightning, or my body!"
Sky Sundering Axe!
Sky Sundering Axe!
John unleashed a non stop barrage of Sky Sundering Axe's towards the lightning above. Thunderous collisions of battle arts and lightning exploded out, followed by a deafening explosion as the lightning struck onto John's body.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The battle between John and the tribulation clouds above continued to rage on for several minutes, as John pushed his Immortal Asura Transformation Art to its absolute limit. His cries of anger and pain echoed out throughout the entire Bloodfiend Sect as a battle of apocalyptic proportions took place.
Bang!
John's axe slammed against a tribulation lightning strike, reducing its power greatly. Each swing of his battle axe carried monstrous power and strength behind it. However, it still wasn't enough, and his body was slammed into the earth repeatedly.
Each time John would hastily stand up and counter attack once again, and each time he would be thrown deeper into the ever growing crater formed from the lightning strikes.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The Bloodfiend Sect was drowned with thunderous explosions as the apocalyptic storm raged on. Those who still yet lived could tell that the clouds were growing smaller and weaker, and that the end was drawing near.
After taking yet another lightning strike head on, John slowly crawled back up on his feet and sluggishly looked up at the clouds above. His body was almost entirely blackened, as every inch of flesh had been charred.
His aura, while still incredibly powerful, was beginning to waver, as his body was reaching its limits.
'Even in normal times, the Immortal Asura Transformation Art places an incredible burden on my body. With this transformation art and lightning damage combined, I'm reaching my limits.'
John stared up at the tribulation clouds, his gritted teeth covered with ash and blood. His blood slickened hands gripped his battle axe with all its might.
"I can tell the tribulation is also nearly at its end. I just have to last a bit longer, and I'll get past this tribulation!"
BOOM!
Another lighting strike, the most powerful yet, exploded down on John's position with absolute fury.
Sky Sundering Axe!
John fought against the strike with all his might, before the beam once again struck his body.
"Gah!"
John was thrown into the ground with incredible speed, and his body shattered the earth further as the crater he was standing in deepened. Ragged breaths escaped his lungs, as John barely managed to get to his feet.
In his entire life, this was by far the most damaged his body had ever been. Both his essence Qi and body Qi were reaching their limits, as his fighting had raged on for far too long. However, the tribulation clouds seemed to be able to last just a little bit longer than John, causing him to curse at them.
"These fucking heavens," John grumbled through panted breaths. "I'll fucking topple the heaven's itself when I get the chance."
BOOM!
Another lightning strike stuck down on John, its power far greater than the previous strike. His axe slashed out repeatedly with incredible power, before his body was struck and thrown into the crater once again.
Bang!
John hit the ground with incredible force, driving the air from his lungs. His body ached with absolute pain, and he couldn't imagine a more painful existence. Thoughts of giving up seemed to creep into his mind, and John began to welcome such thoughts for the briefest of moments before his eyes snapped open once again.
"No. I refuse to give up now!"
With incredible struggle, he got to his feet and slowly stared at the sky above. His body swayed from side to side as he barely managed to stand on his feet. The clouds, angered once again that he had survived the strike, seemed to churn even more with absolute power.
The clouds suddenly grouped together, going from dozens of miles wide to no more than one hundred yards wide directly above of John. It seemed as if the heavens were preparing to unleash one final attack, which would be by far the most powerful yet.
A talisman suddenly appeared in John's hands as he stared at the clouds above.
"Even if I can't survive this strike, I need Thunderzen to clean up the remaining mess here. If I was in peak condition, I would have a good chance of living through this strike, but it seems the heaven's have other plans."
However, despite the sure death approaching him, John's resolve didn't waver. His one hand crushed the talisman, while his other gripped his battle axe, ready for the final confrontation.
His eyes suddenly filled with anger, and his strength rose to his absolute peak.? He suddenly shouted out, his yell so loud that the entire sect could hear it clearly.
"You may destroy my body, but you will never destroy my resolve. Come on! Let's finish this!"
The black clouds suddenly stopped, as if they were frozen in time, before...
BOOOM!
A beam of lightning, far more powerful than anything that had struck down previously, descended on John's location. Its power was far beyond anything he had faced thus far, and in his current state, he was ninety percent certain that he would not be able to survive this blast.
Suddenly, his soul space began to tremble, and before he could do anything, a familiar figure appeared before him and shot up towards the tribulation lightning above.
"Kirii!"
