A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

"What's he about to do?" The cultivator patiently asked within.

Then continually observing Alex without blinking his eyes as he didn't want to miss out on anything that Alex might do, he suddenly discovered that a massive, dark purple aura suddenly appeared from nowhere and then began to swirl around his figure. This aura that revolved round his body gave the feeling that he was a primordial god. Then observing further with scrutinizing eyes, he could see thousands of tiny, ancient symbols and signs that glowed brightly in dark purple-black color within the twirling dark purple aura. And as these incomprehensible cryptic symbols moved about in the aura, a type of power that could reduce everything including star systems to nothing endlessly emanated from them. That was the Statute (Law) of Destruction, or in a simple term, the Power of Destruction that had mysteriously condensed into thousands of antiquated, mystical symbols and signs.

Once this shocking phenomenon appeared and caused the earth he stood upon to shatter in a ripple-like fashion into the far distance because of the power of destruction ceaselessly radiating outwardly from them, Alex pointed at the cultivators before him and uttered resolutely "Destroy!"

Then like servants obeying their master's order, the power of destruction that endlessly emanated from them focused upon the targets Alex pointed at like an immense, concentrated beam of light.

Immediately the power was concentrated into an enormous beam and focused directly upon the targets, a loud bang that could seemingly deafen the ears of gods rang out when the mountainous ice crystals explosively shattered into smithereens. But not only the solid, tall crystals of ice that encased their bodies were destroyed, the bodies of the cultivators trapped within the ice and were frozen solid by the intense coldness that penetrated through the protective-auras of their armors and effortlessly invaded their bodies were also reduced to the smallest bits possible. Same actually also went for the earth that they were frozen upon. The ground had rived apart for hundreds of meters into the distance and many feet deep into the earth.

Once Alex was done unleashing the focused power of destruction, he fell to the ground flat with numerous cracks all over his body. Also, many cracks could be seen around his two eye sockets and all over his face, causing him to look like a statue that had endured the weathering of the river of time. Then in the moment that his body struck the ground hard as he was unconscious, some of the numerous cracks that had manifested on his dense and thick, tough flesh broke away from it to fall to the ground that had been hollowed out by the pulses of the power of destruction unendingly radiated by the floating, glyph-like, purple-black symbols within the mysterious aura that enclosed his figure and revolved around it.

But the horrifying physical damage done to his body was from an insignificant, residual pulse of the power of destruction that emanated from the eyes itself which Alex's body couldn't definitely withstand. If it was in the past that he didn't have a tempered body, there was no telling if his head wouldn't explode into a mist of blood by the little and greatly inconsequential pulsing power of destruction produced by the eyes. That was why he could try this out, because of his belief in the durability and imperviousness of his tempered body.

At the moment, since Alex had stopped using the power of the True God-eyes of Grand Destruction, the profoundly symbols on the surfaces of the eyes vanished as the eyes reverted back to Alex's normal eyes.

And since the arcanely characters on the surfaces of the God-eyes that enabled Alex to tap into the power of destruction possessed by the Grand Destruction True God-eyes rapidly faded away, causing Alex's usual eyes to appear very quickly, the immense, dark purple aura that swiftly revolved around his figure and had thousands of glowing, purple-black mysterious symbols and signs which moved about chaotically within it, also vanished in an instant.

The powerful experts in the air who were exceedingly shocked by this power didn't do anything. They simply waited for Alex to wake. And they didn't wait for long as Alex's eyes suddenly snapped open from where he was. Then he immediately got up to look around him, but seeing that no one was looking at him, he instantly produced many peerless-grade healing pills which he swallowed at once and then set out to grab the spatial rings of the experts which had fallen into the caved-in earth. Then also to make an extremely fast dash out of here for he had an intense gut feeling that other really high-level adept cultivators of the energy or the soul would probably appear anytime soon.

But before he could set out to do such, the City Lord teleported from where he floated in the sky and suddenly appeared before Alex causing him to shout in shock and fall to the ground.

Alex however stood up in the next instant and greeted politely with a smile that perfectly concealed the shock that sent his mind reeling in horror "Good day Senior"

"How did you do it? That power that you released" The City Lord directly queried, ignoring Alex's greeting.

"What power? I don't know what you are talking about, senior" Alex replied with an unfaltering tone.

"Haha. I have been here watching you boy, so don't think of lying to me or I would instantly decimate you without thinking twice" The City Lord said in a serious threatening tone.

"Oh! I get it now. That frost and the purple-black symbols that appeared right? Actually, those are the protection-power that a kind but exceedingly powerful statute cultivator fortified me with." Alex replied fearlessly.

"Hmm. How did you come in contact with him and where?" The City Lord asked.

"The Three Fairies city was where where I met him. Then he blessed me with those powers because he said we have karma together. So that is how I obtained the arcane destructive powers that I I unleashed to kill those bastards who are after my possessions" Alex said without dread in his tone.

The City Lord looked at him for sometime and asked "Are the powers transmittable?"

"What?! No, they are not. Besides, that is the last of them. I have used it twice now and I don't have the powers with me anymore, senior. The powerful expert I met only passed the power to me twice since it would damage his cultivation base condensing those two tremendously devastating divine powers for me." Alex said. Then he continued by saying "I wish I had more. Those two powers are very intoxicating. When would I grow to be like him? Sigh!"

"Hmm." The City Lord uttered in his mind. He had actually been convinced by Alex. Then he said "Well, you have to come with me to my mansion to be severely punished by my son for trying to kill him. But before I do that, I would like the expert in the air to show himself. Why are you hiding in the cloud like a coward?" The City Lord mentioned as he looked into the sky.

Then all of sudden, space warped before Alex and the City Lord and the expert concealing himself within the clouds appeared in a blinding flash of intense black brilliance.
