Ascension Of The Immortal Asura-Novel

Seeing this shocked John quite a bit, and he finally realized where Kirii's confidence was coming from. From what he was seeing, even he would have trouble catching Kirii.

'Even I could probably only keep up if I activated my Asura Transformation, Limiter of Speed, and Thunderbody Flash. Heavenly Lightning Kirin's truly are incredible.'

John watched the battle for a moment longer before he focused his mind on the task at hand. He breathed in deeply as lightning Qi began to gather within his dantian. He focused his entire being on channeling the lightning Qi and keeping it contained within his dantian, as letting it escape after building up could gravely injure him from within.

The process lasted for thirty seconds so far, and John found himself only a quarter of the way through the channeling process. Each second strengthened the amount of lightning Qi within his dantian, while it also increased the burden his body was feeling.

After a minute, John felt a strong pressure from his dantian, as if it wanted to explode from within. He was not an innate War Mage, who had specialized innate dantians and meridians that were able to handle the burden of channeled attacks.

Instead, he was brute forcing it by using his incredibly powerful dantian. While this worked just as well as War Mages who had specialized dantians, the pressure John felt from within was far greater. By using his powerful Qi to compress the growing mass of lightning within his dantian, John was able to use this channeled attack, although not in the intended way.

After a minute and a half of channeling, an incredible aura began to emanate from John. It was like he was a bomb made of pure lightning, ready to explode at any moment and completely devastate the area.

Screech!

The Fire Falcon noticed John's presence finally, and felt grave danger from him for the first time. In their last battle, John's essence cultivation had been a minor realm lower, and he had not unleashed this attack.

However, with his increased cultivation and ability to unleash this attack, the Fire Falcon knew it would be in trouble if it allowed him to attack. The Fire Falcon ignored Kirii and suddenly sped towards John, who was still in strained focus on his channeled attack.

Bang!

A lightning beam suddenly smashed onto the back of the Fire Falcon, who turned around to meet another attack from Kirii. Kirii sped forward and put his body between John and the Fire Falcon, before he unleashed another barrage of powerful lightning attacks.

Screech!

The Fire Falcon screeched out in frustration once again, and attempted to get past Kirii to get to John. However, Kirri thwarted its every attempt, as the battle once again raged on fiercely in the sky above. Flames slammed against lightning as the sky lit up from the incredible battle.

Standing on the ground below, John felt his dantian start to strain from the power contained from within. Dragontail Decimation was a unique channeled art, in the fact that there was no upper limit to the amount of Qi that could be supplied to it.

As long as one could continue to contain the channeled mass of Qi, and once meridians could handle the strain, the cultivator using the attack could increase the power as much as they wanted.

'My dantian can handle a bit more power, but my meridians will burst if I make this attack any stronger. It's time to unleash it. Kirii is a lightning beast, so he should be fine taking this attack head on…The same cannot be said for the Fire Falcon.'

John's teeth were gritted as he struggled to contain the power, and his eyes suddenly snapped open and locked onto the Fire Falcon. The Fire Falcon noticed John's gaze, and could instantly tell that its life was in danger.

It turned to flee, as it knew it could no longer stop John in time.

The lightning ball which had been channeled in his dantian suddenly surged through many different meridian pathways, before eventually converging at his right hand. He felt the might of the lightning Qi threaten to rupture his meridians, but they held on as best they could as the attack was unleashed.

He also felt his essence Qi reserves half in an instant as he carried out the attack, and his face paled immediately.

"Too late," John grunted as his right arm stretched upwards, and his pointer finger and middle finger pointed at a location directly above the Fire Falcon.

A lightning node, similar to the ones of the Heavenly Lightning Domain, but much larger appeared in the sky above the Fire Falcon. The node was ten yards across, and emanated an incredible energy, far greater than even John had been expecting.

"Dragontail Decimation!"

All sound seemed to fade for a brief instant, before a deafening roar of thunder that sounded like the roar of a dragon boomed out from the lightning node. In an instant, a bolt of lightning, shaped like that of a dragon's tail, pierced out of the node. The tail was scaled, and even had small spikes jutting from it, making it truly appear just like a dragon's tail, only made of pure lightning. It was as if a Heavenly Lightning Dragon had appeared for a moment, and decided to decimate anything in its path with its tail.

The lightning attack slammed down onto the Fire Falcon's location before it could retreat, and the Fire Falcon even felt a restrictive force lock around it, preventing its escape. The Fire Falcon, realizing the futility of running, turned towards the attack and unleashed its strongest flame inferno. Kirii utilized this opportunity to retreat as fast as possible, as the attack was incredibly terrifying.

Bang!

The two attacks collided, and the hasty attack from the Fire Falcon was smashed into oblivion as the tail struck down onto the Fire Falcon.

Boom!

The lightning dragon tail exploded upon contact, and an absolutely horrifying explosion instantly radiated outwards, swallowing everything in its path. John's breathing was heavy and face was pale as he watched the explosion of the attack swallow everything whole.

Kirii suddenly appeared before him, and unleashed his strongest attack as the explosion finally reached them.

Bang!

Another thunderous boom echoed out as the attacks collided, while Kirii's attack created a parting in the explosion, protecting John from any harm. The explosion continued to radiate outwards past them for another mile before it finally faded away, and the dust eventually faded revealing the extent of the damage.

John's tired and pale face lit up with surprise as he noticed the extent of the damage. Before him, a crater several hundred yards wide and deep had appeared at the center of the attack. The crater and land around the crater for a mile in every direction had been scorched black from the explosion, leaving not a single tree or sign of life remaining.

John's heavy breathing slowly returned to normal as he walked forward and rested an arm on Kirii's back. He remained silent for a while as he surveyed the area of the attack. In the very center of the crater below was the Fire Falcon, whose charred body no longer showed any signs of life.

With his cultivation in the Late Meridian Forging Realm, John had successfully slain a Late Heaven Tribulation Fire Falcon using only his essence cultivation.
