Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Clash with the Blind Sage

The Vindhya Alliance coliseum thrummed under stormy skies, war conches blaring as tens of thousands packed the floating stone tiers. Banners of Crimson Lotus, Himalayan Peaks, and Saurastra Serpent Clan whipped in prana gales. Arjun Vikramaditya stood at the arena's heart, Vel lance planted like a defiant world spear, facing Dronacharya's champion—the Blind Sage Karna, eyes bound in black silk, staff radiating soul-searing chants. Whispers rippled: "Kaurav patriarch's weapon, soul master who felled holy sons." Dronacharya watched from shadowed thrones, Duryodhan's crippled form beside him, venomous glare fixed on the cube heir. Alliance heads like Parashurama boomed: "Finals begin—victor claims Vindhya suzerainty!" �Karna struck first, staff blurring into Soulbind Mantra, ethereal chains of karma weaving from void—each link a past life's regret, homing on Arjun's spirit. Illusions bloomed: village aflame, father's death, meridians crushed anew. Pain clawed Arjun's divine sea, but Three Lives Pupils flared, eyes dissecting fate threads. "Your blindness sees nothing!" Arjun roared, Golden Roc Shattering Void phasing him through binds. Vel swept Celestial Tyrant's Hundred Layered Waves—first thrust cracking air, tenth layering force like collapsing mountains, twentieth shattering chains in explosive waves.Karna countered with Naga Soul Vortex, staff summoning nine-headed serpents of pure psyche, fangs dripping karmic venom. They swarmed, devouring light. Arjun's dantian ignited Grand Reincarnation Technique nascent spark—life-death cycles spinning, rebirth flames purging illusions. Abyss Devil form partially awakened: bone spikes pierced skin, six phantom arms lashing God Forbidding Seal. 3600 black-hole runes bloomed across the field, swallowing serpent souls, funneling essence to his core. Karna staggered, silk blindfold tearing—eyes revealed as glowing voids.Fury peaked. Karna chanted Eclipse Samsara, reality warping into reincarnation hells—Patala pits, Swarga falls. Arjun stood unmoved, heart of sanatana dharma his unyielding mountain. "End of your line!" Heavenly Dao Judgment erupted: Vel channeled thunderfire tribulation, purple phoenix vortex spanning heavens, graha lights converging in annihilation lotus. It clashed against Eclipse Samsara—worlds trembled, coliseum cracking. Karna's staff splintered; voids in his eyes imploded, soul force rebounding to pulp his meridians. He collapsed, sterile and broken, per Arjun's ruthless code—no roots for vipers.Silence shattered into roars. Parashurama crowned Arjun suzerain, awarding Vindhya Dharma Crown—a gem fusing into cube, unlocking Revolving Core formation. Crowds chanted "Chakravarti! Young Chakravartin!" Dronacharya fled with remnants, vowing holy land wars. That night, atop Vindhya throne, Arjun refined crown energies, meridians birthing inner prana sea. Visions swirled: Asura Sutra fragments, promising full metamorphosis. Greater clans stirred—rakshasa kings, ancient rishis. From valleys to alliances, each crown forged the emperor. 33 Lokas beckoned; Trimurti thrones awaited his conquest.
