The true implications of Hal's words did not really hit Akon despite the appearance of the Scepter but when Hal began the beat down, he understood, probably for the first time in his life, the true meaning of helplessness.
The scepter was a physical manifestation of Hal's Sovereign Dao and its presence was the absolute height of Hal commanding the fundamental element that was Cosmic energy.
He stripped the energy of its powers and effectiveness and while that was disheartening to Akon, the Silva man refused to lay down in surrender.
He still had the physical prowess of his peak stage Cosmic Pagoda realm cultivation and vowed at that moment to use that to the absolute limit and somehow come out on top despite the peculiar scepter that was floating beside grinning Hal.
Hal was unbothered by Akon's determination and simply charged a cosmic aurora that he dashed towards Akon to strike him with.
