The Battle Heats Up!! (ll)

In the middle of a scene that resembled the end of the world, El stood in tattered clothes, horrific cuts all over his body.

These wounds occurred not only because of the impact of the collision of the two forces, but during the previous spatial storm Karna and El had exchanged a series of attacks.

That's why, the impact of the destruction became even more intense.

Fortunately, El's endurance was very strong as a result of the effects of the Attribute focus state and the Enquipment Effect.

If this was an ordinary Dou Ling realm Dou Qi Practitioner, it was certain that their body would be destroyed without a trace.

However, El was no ordinary Dou Ling realm Dou Qi Practitioner, he was a Beyonder with Authority Level 4.

A Beyonder with a Cultivation-based profession like Dou Qi Practitioner could unleash two to three times the power of an ordinary Beyonder.

Right now, El was standing tall, his eyes staring at Karna burning with determination, his body burning with residual Dou Qi and an unquenchable will.

Across the ravaged field, Karna stood tall, as if the devastating explosion just now meant nothing to his.

There was no gasp, no wound on his body. Even the magical energy was still rushing around him, dancing like an eternal flame.

"Rightful Holder of Hogyoku, if you do not unleash all your power," Karna said, his voice calm yet carrying divine pressure, "then you will die."

Without wasting any time, El took out a few pills from Sky Pearl Poison, then swallowed them immediately.

In an instant, warmth spread throughout his body, like a stream of new life infiltrating every cell.

His Dou Qi began to recover, stamina returning to fill the muscles that had been weakened.

"...There is no other choice..." El murmured, his eyes looking at Karna more seriously.

With one calm breath, El centered his focus.

In the eerie silence, he activated Inverse, with the Three Changes special effect, reaching the maximum limit his body could so far.

In an instant, his strength jumped dramatically. STR, VIT, AGI, and INT increased by 225% flooding his body with unbelievable power.

A transformation took place.

El's clothes began to glow a fiery white, his hair turned completely white, and from his back emerged a Phoenix of mist, flapping its wings once before disappearing.

In its place, a white scarf coiled elegantly around El's arm, pulsing gently like a living thing.

Now, El stood not just as a fighter, but a divine figure, like a god who had just awakened in the midst of a shattered world, carrying an aura of serenity and immeasurable danger.

Karna gazed at El's now completely transformed figure, a white light wrapped around his body, like a god who had just descended from the sky.

With a deep tone and sharp eyes, he said, "Finally... you showed your true form."

A small smile graced his face, not of mockery, but of admiration. "So beautiful, and so dangerous. Like a sacred flame that must never be touched, bringing cold and heat at the same time."

Karna grasped his spear tighter, the heat returning to his body. "Very well, El Ira Adrian. I welcome you... as a true warrior, not just someone to be tested."

"Thank you," El said quietly, but firmly, a faint smile on his face.

In an instant, El disappeared from the scene, the air shaking, the room rattling like cracked glass. He appeared right in front of Karna, his sword already swinging.

SLASH!

A powerful slash split the air and sliced through Karna's chest in one fell swoop.

The wound opened deep and wide, blood and magic energy sprayed together, while the space around them shattered like a mirror dropped from the sky.

El was now much faster, his movements surpassing Karna's reaction time. Even his power became even more terrifying.

One could imagine what the impact would be like if this attack hit an ordinary human body.

However, despite the fatal attack, Karna's body healed quickly. The gaping wound closed as if it had never existed.

But that was enough...

With the two divine figures facing each other in the cracked and broken sky, the final round of their devastating battle restarted.

In this devastating battle that surpassed the limits of human understanding, El did not only rely on Susano'o and Ash Flame.

El also mobilized all of Rinnegan's abilities, including Shinra Tensei that leveled thousands of meters in an instant.

Even El also uses Ashura Path, the body mechanism that modifies the body into a war machine.

All of that combined with the Ash Flame, enveloped every technique in a heavenly white flame that didn't give the world a chance to breathe.

Not enough of Rinnegan's high-level Techniques, dozens of Dou Techniques were unleashed by El: fast, precise, and ferocious.

Every explosion, energy wave, and burst of power matched Kundala's Brahmāstra, Karna's divine attack that could apparently be launched over and over again without stopping.

Each of their clashes was a small apocalypse in the making: Space collapses and the earth is shaken.

The monoliths looming in the distance crumbled to dust, and the sea of sand either burned into hot lava or froze into white ice crystals, victims of the two extremes of El and Karna's power.

As a result, the climate of the desert world crumbled, unable to withstand the pressure of a battle that should never have happened.

Day and night became blurred as the sky alone became covered in dark clouds, and Spatial was destroyed.

In fact, the air became thin as if the planet's protective layer had collapsed.

Soon, El's body began to show signs of fatigue.

His breathing was labored, his muscles tightened, El's vision blurred, his body staggered and the white flame on his body began to fade.

This was because the Inverse Effect - Three Changes had reached its limit of use due to continuous exertion, leaving a heavy impact on El's body.

About 80% of El's Dou Qi had been drained, and his stamina had decreased by 20%.

Although El's body had a very high stamina capacity as well as the ability to regenerate quickly, the use of Rinnegan to launch high-level techniques still put a great strain on his physique.

The same was true for Dou Qi. Although El had a huge reserve of Dou Qi-the equivalent of a 9-star Dou Zun with eight transformations-the use of Dou Qi in another world was far from efficient.

El did try to adjust, even using Dou Qi to boost Rinnegan's performance to reach high levels of spatial manipulation.

However, the level of energy consumption remained uncompensated, and his body began to feel the weight of the imbalance.

Although El was constantly consuming recovery pills for stamina and energy, both for his physical health and Dou Qi's recovery, his supply was now running low.

The pills from Sky Pearl Poison, which had been his mainstay, were now down to just a few grains.

Even the effects are starting to weaken as El's body continues to be forced under high pressure conditions without pause.

With dwindling reserves and an increasingly tired body, El began to feel a decline in movement effectiveness and reaction time.

His breathing was unsteady, and his focus occasionally wavered, a sign that his limits were beginning to be exceeded.

However, her resolve remained firm. As long as she was standing, El would not let herself lose, even when her own body was about to collapse.

At this moment, the two took a distance of several hundred meters.

Karna stood firm even though his body was full of wounds, blood flowing from his chest and arms, but slowly recovering due to the effects of healing magic, perhaps?

He looked at the gasping El with a look of respect.

"You have gone beyond the limits of your own body to fight," Karna said, his voice deep and firm. "Your determination is no less than anyone I have ever faced. I recognize your strength, El Ira Adrian."

El did not reply, only stared back with heavy breathing and eyes that still burned with unwavering passion.

To recover all his strength, El immediately consumed all the remaining pills from the Sky Pearl Poison.

Instantly, warmth flowed in his veins and Meridian, up to Dantian, a sign that all his energy had been restored, even so his body felt heavy.

Seeing El's condition, Karna took a deep breath. Suddenly, a fiery blood-red magic energy enveloped Karna's body and the surrounding area, shaking the air.

Calmly, Karna raised his hands to the sky. "In return for your courage and honor, I will deploy my most powerful weapon, as an end."
