The atmosphere trembled as Lou Yan uttered, space above the coliseum cracking as immense godly energy gushed out, a bright golden light emerging from the cracked space and entering her, divine energy remaining to pour as it fueled a Saint who had been Mind Accumulation an hour ago. Her eyes had been closed when she named the technique, and after the golden light entered they became golden, smirking while looking at Patrick.
"There are thirteen stages to our Heavenly Eyes technique, after the ninth stage we gain additional abilities, with the tenth form I can use the divine energy from the god Asura to supplement me, which means with my connection not broken with it I cannot run out of qi, hahaha, are you scared now?"
Patrick did not reply, looking at the cracked space where the energy leaked, golden pouring profusely in a thin straight line into her, remaining at his spot with hands behind him, not considering her words, speaking as if teaching a child the difference between a cup and an ocean.
"Since you underestimate me so much by only using the tenth form, then I have to teach you that Saint realm is nothing but compared to a Qi Condensation realm cultivator in front of me."
"Hahaha, you compare me to a Qi Condensation realm, then I will make you regret your words."
She angrily smirked and flashed at him with a fist, golden eyes shifting at fast speed trying to predict his counter, and the attack landed on his face, the impact shattering the stage behind him into dust, and even with how devastating it was it was unable to reach the public or the stands because of the barrier he created to prevent unnecessary damage, a courtesy the coliseum had not paid for.
Lou Min was the most excited and shocked on the stands above when she heard her daughter utter the tenth form, the Heavenly Eyes being a cultivation method the ancestor of the Lou family acquired after entering a mysterious dimension twenty thousand years ago, the Lou becoming powerful enough to rival Immortals and Saints, still after the demons invaded they lost the complete method, thus beginning the decline, and now a girl on a sect-selection stage had named a form the family had been mourning as legend. Ju Han saw it and wore an ugly expression, now understanding why the guardians never troubled the Lou, even after many accused them of crimes the guardians brushing it off like nothing, and now everything made complete sense after witnessing such devastating power. The other powerhouses sent gazes at Lou Min, some beginning to change their views, the Lou now having a Saint, which meant their respect had surpassed even the Ju Empire, furthermore they would have the complete cultivation method, producing more powerful monsters, Kang Mu's mathematics going quieter, Yang Cho's cunning counting a neighbor who had just grown teeth.
Everyone anticipated Patrick losing because of how devastatingly powerful the attack was and how it turned the stage into dust, Jiang Shi first to notice the invisible barrier that withstood the attacks from reaching the public, closing his eyes, sending a wisp of qi string to inspect it, and before the string could leave the stands it was cut off by Lou Min, whose eyes were already glowing from using the Heavenly Eyes herself.
"Elder should refrain from a battle which none of us can comprehend, or offending any of those two will cause something neither sects nor families can endure."
She gave him a threatening gaze, and he understood, if Lou Yan or Alex noticed any malicious intent all hell would break loose on that person and their background, a Sage choosing to sit a second time. Lou Yan continued ramming attacks on Patrick without rest from different angles and sides, still he remained steady with a bored expression, fists and kicks at fast speed unable to move him an inch from his spot, Athena's wine not spilling two hundred meters away, Anna calling him a moron under her breath, Anastasia watching a Saint punch a wall.
"Sigh."
He sighed loudly as she realized her attacks were not causing any damage and ceased them, realizing her ability was not affecting this person at all, thinking my Heavenly Eyes tenth form could not even work against him, how strong must someone be not affected by a Saint realm technique.
"What the hell are you, why are you not affected by my attacks, what treasure or cultivation technique are you practicing?"
Questions upon questions, the feeling of fear generating as she asked, realizing her technique did not even predict anything when she looked at him, completely USELESS, a family art going blind the way Jiang Shi had gone blind.
"I will give you one last chance to use the thirteenth form of your Heavenly Eyes technique."
Dull, boring expression, reassembling the stage to its previous state and reinforcing it not to break again, bricks learning obedience. Knowing she would not defeat this unknown genius named Alex so easily, she had no choice but to activate the final form, biting her lip, spitting blood on the ground, shouting.
"Heavenly Eyes technique, final form, spirit of Asura the destroyer."
The final form required blood to summon the spirit of a god, the tenth stage providing an infinite supply of qi from a god as long as the connection still existed, the eleventh granting reverse time while sacrificing a lifespan, the twelfth allowing one to see the weakness of their target, and the final summoning a god after using blood as the intermediary, a ladder the Lou had forgotten the top rungs of until a pill from a hypocrite. The cracked space enlarged as a gigantic spirit slowly reached out, left hand first, then the right, then more arms, moments later the whole body standing in the void hundreds of meters tall, not a physical representation but a qi-formed spirit of Asura, eyes closed when summoned, then opening red, qi suppression immediately causing the people to feel immense pressure and domination, Asura looking down as he spoke to Lou Yan.
"I see that the technique I gave that kid thousands of years ago still exists, I must applaud him for passing down the complete form for generations, little girl, it seems you are a descendant of that kid from twenty thousand years ago, not bad, it's quite a feat to achieve Saint realm while being in the mortal domains, although it's nothing when compared to the Immortal domain and higher."
Lou Yan stood and faced the spirit, two hundred meters of disappointment waiting to be asked a favor, wiping blood from her lips, using energy to heal as a Saint, little wounds like this causing no damage at all.
"I plead for god ancestor spirit to grant me strength to defeat this human."
Hatred and anger, a very proud and arrogant girl, guard down at first, everything changing after becoming a Saint which boosted arrogance and dominating spirit, Patrick may have given her that pill and boosted her strength but so what, it was still a humiliation to lose to a puny Qi Condensation cultivator when one was already a Saint, a fucking Saint.
"Huh, you mean the boy over there, I don't see a reason for you to summon me to defeat an ant which is a Qi Condensation realm, this summons is not even a percent of my strength, but that should be able to help you wipe out this world, let alone defeat a Qi Condensation realm ant."
Disappointed expression, who would use their energy to summon the spirit of a god to fight an ant, the realization disappointing him a little, but he raised his hands and spirit qi began flowing into her, her body absorbing, and then something happened.
PAM!
Lou Yan's body fell to the ground, the energy stopping.
"Since you are not even a percent of the real Asura, then there is no reason to waste time, is there, I was expecting the stronger version of you when the little girl mentioned Asura, but since you exist in the god domain you can't step into lower realms, sigh, what a let down."
Patrick gave her a slight neck chop and knocked her out while absorbing, spoke to Asura as he slowly floated to reach the eyes of the gigantic spirit, his expectation when Asura was mentioned a little bit high, a god wanting a god and getting a percent.
"You know me?"
Asura asked, confused, suspected something, asked again.
"People in this universe's timeline don't know my name other than the people I have encountered, unless you are from the realistic cosmic timeline from Earth 101, then that would make sense, but that should still be impossible."
"I am not from Earth 101, and yes, I know that you are historical fiction in the realistic timeline of Earth 101, it seems you are not as fiction as they thought you are, that doesn't matter anymore, why don't you entertain me for a minute, I think that would be worth your presence."
Patrick spoke, knowing Asura was a god from the realistic timeline of Earth 101, the natives of that earth seeing him as myth and fiction, and to Patrick it did not matter whether one was fiction or not, if they exist they are real and not fiction, which was a courtesy Earth 101 had not extended.
Asura smiled and began shrinking into Patrick's size, many arms hanging behind him, main two folded on his chest, shrinking, floating opposite, speaking.
"Since you attacked the descendant of my servant, then I have to take you down for good, this tiny spirit of mine should be able to wipe out this world, let alone a puny—"
PAM!
Before he could finish, Patrick's head tapped him, smashing him into the ground on the stage, the barrier still up covering the square, Asura getting up, raising a finger, carrying Lou Yan's body from the stage, sending it to Lou Min from whom he sensed the same bloodline, a god doing courtesy while his face remembered a tap. He raised his arms in the sky and shouted with might.
"Heavenly domination suppression."
The sky changed color to red, clouds gathering and centering at Patrick's head, a suppression force that felt like the sun's gravitational pull released on him, and he remained in the air and watched the force suppress him to the ground, not feeling anything but still going down slowly on the stage, a walk wearing the costume of a fall.
"How is this possible, how are you not pulled to the ground?"
Asura spoke loudly, watching him slowly descend completely unaffected, made a fist with his right hand as the suppression vanished on his will, his face slowly fading because of the previous attack.
"You are fading because of the lack of qi in this world to sustain your form, I don't want to waste time on a tiny spirit of a lesser god, so let's end this quick, shall we?"
Faced with humiliation Asura went all out, energy bursting, space trembling, time slowing down, vanishing, appearing next to Patrick with arms in fist-made positions, throwing fist upon fist at fast speed, a percent of a god trying to write a minute.
Hundreds of miles from the coliseum the guardians of the Ju Empire were floating in the void after they felt the summon of Asura, witnessing the fight, the younger speaking.
"Elder brother, this is the same spirit that Grandmaster Lou summoned ten thousand years ago when the demons attacked."
"Yes, if it weren't for when the demons severed his connection with it, he wouldn't have died, sigh."
"Does elder brother think this spirit will defeat that person?"
"I can't say for sure, but we are not in the position to predict the winner in such a fight."
The older guardian spoke and sent a spirit qi message to Ju Han, several warnings not to approach neither the boy nor Lou Yan or else that may lead to the destruction of the Ju Empire for good. Ju Han had already been cautious of the Lou before today, but after witnessing their might he evaluated them on a whole different level, if the Lou rebelled now he would not even stand a chance, and there was also the Shi family who had closed all doors from mortal affairs, Lou and Shi become strong enough to rebel and destroy the empire or even the eastern continent, and he sat at his throne with an annoyed expression, remaining handle still furniture, greed still doing math it was not allowed to finish.
A minute went by and Asura was still throwing punches fast at Patrick when suddenly Patrick did something that caused the barrier he created to break.
SLAP!
He casually slapped Asura as the entire spirit embodiment was wiped from existence, Asura's voice ringing out with anger and resentment after his spirit faded, a percent leaving a threat the way ants leave scent.
"WE SHALL MEET IN THE GOD DOMAIN."
