Ascension Of The Immortal Asura-Novel
Chapter 788 Battling The FrostFire TigerRoar!
The second Daoist Eternal Weapon disappeared, the FrostFire Tiger roared loudly, unhappy with the sudden intrusion into its lair.
"Are you fucking kidding me? At least give me my scythe!" John roared loudly, unsure if Daoist Eternal Weapon was still around.
"You can give up if you want, and this test ends immediately, but you won't receive the scythe until you do manage to pass this test, whenever that may be," Daoist Eternal Weapons voice drifted out within the cavern, although John couldn't see him at all.
"That's bullshit! I already passed your other test!" John roared in protest.
However, all that met his roar of anger was silence, and the snarls of the distant beast. A look of furious anger appeared on John's face, as this was not what was agreed on by the two of them.

He couldn't see an exit to the chamber anywhere, so the only solution was fighting the powerful beast.
"Motherfucker. If I'm forced to use my bloodline ability, I'll make sure that bastard pays the price," John cursed angrily.
With the Divine Source Monastery opening the divine wall in roughly a month, he couldn't afford to use his bloodline ability before then, as its recovery period was too long. While the Jade Dragon absorption had vastly improved his body's constitution, allowing him to use his bloodline ability more often, it was still a recovery period of roughly three months before he could use it again with no negative lasting effects on his body.
Roar!
Another roar boomed from the tiger, which was slowly approaching John. Any distracting thoughts faded from John's mind as he focused solely on his enemy.
"Daoist Eternal Weapon said my strength needs to be on the same level as this FrostFire Tiger in order to wield the scythe…which means I don't have to defeat the Tiger outright, only battle evenly against it!"
Boom!
Without further hesitation, John unleashed his Dragon-God Shift, explosively increasing his physical combat prowess and also his body's defenses. A dense golden draconic aura emanated off him, shaking the ground all around him with his might, but he wasn't done just yet.
Boom!
His aura exploded out once again with even more power as he activated his Asura Transformation Art without hesitation, changing his appearance once more. While John normally increased his power gradually to test the limits of his opponent, this particular opponent was not one he could hold back against at all. His regal and golden aura instantly changed to a blood red color, while his regal aura and physical appearance became much more sinister.
It was as if he were a draconic demon in both aura and appearance.
After his transformation, his mind linked with his spatial ring, changing his outfit immediately. His black and red robe was replaced with the draconic armor set Laia had purchased for him. The armor set was incredibly durable, and was much more suitable for battle than a robe that offered much less protection.
After utilizing both of his transformations, John's essence dantian surged with Qi as hundreds of lightning nodes popped up in the air around John, each brimming with a powerful lightning essence. After activating both body transformations as well as utilizing his essence Qi, John felt as if his body were about to explode at any moment from within.

Thanks to his Immortal Asura Body and Jade Dragon inheritance however, he was able to withstand the torrential energy surging through his body each second, albeit he would not be able to last in this state forever, as the damage internally was accumulating by the second.
As if provoked by his sudden surge in power, the FrostFire Tiger roared again, while its power also increased explosively. On the red-furred side of its body, powerful flames surged outwards, hot enough to melt the ground all around it. At the same time, a bone-chilling aura emanated on the other half, freezing the ground all around it.
Right down the middle of the tiger, from head to tail, the two sides converged, almost as if the conflicting elements were in harmony with one another.
It was quite the conflicting thing to witness, both ice and fire existing in such close proximity to each other without canceling each other out. John felt it quite perplexing to witness, as if something that was not supposed to exist was happening before his eyes, but he put such thoughts aside as he focused on the suddenly sped forward like a blur, appearing before John almost too fast to react to.
John's eyes widened as he instantly utilized his Limiter of Speed and Thunderbody Flash, pushing his speed to the absolute limits.
Boom!
The tiger swiped down on his position, landing explosively on the durable ground, which still fractured from its mighty attack. The entire cavern trembled violently, and the Tigers gaze shifted to the side, staring at John who stood just a short distance away.
A bead of sweat dripped down his forehead as he stared at his fearsome enemy, as he had truly felt the winds of death brush past his face on that last attack.
'If I'm careless, a single attack from this tiger is enough to gravely injure me if it lands, or even outright kill me depending on where I am struck.'
The single attack from the Tiger made John realize just how serious of a predicament he was in, as this was truly a life and death battle. As he thought about this, a smile appeared on his face, as the thrill of battle that he had not felt since the Jade Dragon Realm returned to him once more.
