A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Alex whose eyes were permeated with speedforce energy saw the attacks shoot towards him in slow motion. Then clenching his hand into a fist, he sent them at the attacks.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Loud boom sounds that was accompanied by waves of devastating power rang out when Alex's fist connected with the attacks, shattering them into smithereens which then turned into slivers of energy that returned back to the realmverse.

When he shattered all their attacks and calmness returned to the area, Alex could still be seen at the spot that he stood. The tyrannical waves that erupted from the powerful explosions of the energy-attacks couldn't move him from the spot that he stood at. However, his legs had sank some inches into the ground in which a large, web-like crack could be seen around it. Also, bits of flesh and bone could be seen here and there. That was the body of the guard that Alex killed. It had been reduced into tiny fragments by the waves that manifested from the explosion of the attacks when Alex's fists contacted them with immense force.

Alex then walked forward, bringing his legs out of the area on the ground that they had sank into.

As he walked forward into the distance, people who were watching the battle from the far places that they stood at were exceedingly shocked. Their minds were sent reeling in awe by how powerful and superhumanly strong his body was. Same with Layla who had only heard of his amazing battle strength. This was her first time seeing him fight and it was even more amazing than what she heard from her workers about Alex's spectacular battle prowess. With only his fist, he had used it to destroy the attacks of Sky Lord stage cultivators while being at the initial-phase, Earth Adept stage.

'Heavens, he is damn strong. But wait, is he a body cultivator? I thought he was an energy cultivator. It seems he is, since there is no way he would dare to use parts of his body to subdue an attack. Since he can do that, that means he has a powerful and tough body.' Layla pondered. Then thinking further, she said "Yea, I remember now. He came to my herb house three days ago to buy body-cultivating herbs."

Then her eyes glittered when she realized that Alex was a dual cultivator. But if she knew that Alex had cultivated the soul too to make him a tri-cultivator, she would be immensely shocked.

The guards floating in the air were also astounded by Alex's tough body. Then they reasoned that he must be a body cultivator too.

"So, because you have a powerful body which might be impervious to the damaging power of our attacks, you think you can go against all of us? No matter what you do, you would still be like an ant in our eyes." The guard at the peak-phase, Sky Lord stage said. Then he prepared to use some powerful techniques that were given to them by the City Lord.

Employing one of the techniques, he unleashed a powerful stream of fiery energy from his fist which quickly condensed and shaped into a large fist the next instant. And once the fist formed, it shot at an insane speed towards Alex.

Seeing the massive fiery attack that was shooting towards him, Alex rapidly moved tribulation-enhanced frostforce energy and windforce energy to his lungs. Then abruptly filling them up with these uncanny world-energies, he strongly inhaled and then exhaled, releasing enormous, rampaging currents of white-colored air from his mouth.

Once the massive and frenzied air currents that carried intense coldness along with them came out of Alex's mouth, they moved at an insane speed towards the guard's flame-composed attack and collided into it, abruptly freezing it over and causing it to seemingly vanish.

The attack had been rapidly cooled by the exceedingly cold, violent currents of air that Alex exhaled using his mouth. Also, despite it solid form, it was quickly eaten away by the tribulation-enhanced elemental energies that Alex produced, reducing it to nothing. One shouldn't forget that tribulation-energies possessed the intent to devour or consume, and since their essences had fused into Alex's elemental energies, they had also acquired the ability to devour anything that they would came across.

When Alex did that, subduing and eliminating the guard's huge fiery attack, the people who were watching from far had their eyes glow with awe and astonishment. Same with Layla who had difficulty taking in what she saw. With just a breath that turned into unusually powerful and exceedingly cold gusts of wind, he had vanquished the attack of a senior cultivation expert. No matter how she thought about it, to comprehend how Alex's attack could destroy his opponent's attack, she couldn't understand how he was able to do that.

The guard that unleashed the attack was shocked to the extreme by what he saw. He also couldn't believe what he saw which sent his mind spinning in awe.

As he was thinking about Alex's powerful abilities, some people who were floating high in the sky in different places were looking at Alex with intense greed in their eyes. They felt that he must have some treasures with him which he used to increase the power of his attack, since they couldn't understand how an ordinary breath would suddenly become powerful, ravaging gales of wind that also surprisingly emitted intense coldness in all directions. Besides, it abruptly ate away an energy-attack that was solid in form. And that was a great feat impossible to do by any energy cultivator. Therefore, they totally believed that Alex was using some elemental-energy attack-enhancement treasure.

These people who were high-level cultivators had been attracted over by the loud boom sounds that they heard. Some were either cultivating an energy or comprehending certain battle techniques, while the others who were notorious had been making evil schemes to get one or two treasures of some sorts when the boom sounds suddenly rang out. And when they came out to see what was causing the rampant booming sounds, they were amazed to see Alex who looked domineering as he fought cultivation experts who were senior to him in cultivation ranks.

Then also joining the cultivators hovering in the air in the next instant were law enforcement agents. They had rapidly flown down here when they heard the booming sounds. If it was anywhere else, they might not show their faces on time, but because it was the carriage park given to the City Lord's son to manage, they just had to make an appearance. And when they appeared, they also couldn't help but be shocked by Alex's dominance in battle with the cultivators employed to protect the City Lord's son as guards.

Alex who was gazing coldly at the guards before him could feel the presences of the high-level cultivation experts that were in the air. He was able to know this through his skin which was reacting to the scanning senses of the experts that roamed about on his body. He knew that they were scanning his body to detect some treasure that didn't exist.

Then with a smile in his face, he looked towards the sky to look at them. And after seeing them which he rapidly counted them to be roughly eighty in number, he focused his gaze back on the guards before him.

When Alex did that, the cultivation experts became heavily surprised. They didn't understand if Alex just looked up and then saw them. But in the heat of a serious battle, he couldn't just do that out of nowhere, as he had to place his focus on his opponents, or he could risk getting struck down. Then they thought that Alex was alerted of their appearances by some treasure within his body. Now, they braced themselves as they felt that they could possibly lose him if they were slightly careless. They didn't want Alex to elude them using some treasure that had alerted him of their presences.

Alex who knew that many greedy cultivators would surface when he started fighting the guards wasn't worried in any way by the appearances of the powerful cultivation experts hovering in the sky. Also, he did what he did; unrestrainedly showing his powers because he had some motives in his mind. And these were, apart from just coming down here to receive a powerful legacy along with Layla, he wanted to birth a legend here that would be useful for him in future. Also, he wanted to test the power of the god-eyes that created the unreal, vast icy world in Layla's mind and caused the manifestation of cold currents in her body. And ultimately, to fully acquire the wealths and possessions of many of the powerful greedy experts which he would use to maintain his organization, at least, for this world before he would cause them to ascend to higher worlds once he gets stronger.

'There are about eighty of them. Ugh. It's still not enough for me. Well, let me reveal some more so that they would come out from wherever they are. I need like hundreds more' Alex said within himself and with an intentional smile appearing in his face.
