A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 10: Azure Beastsman legacy

As he fell while still in an unconscious state, space suddenly warped around his body and he disappeared from here.

He appeared on the ground in a large hall.

A pill appeared above his mouth and entered into it. It turned into green energy (healforce energy) that caused the wounds in his orifice and every other wounds to heal extremely fast.

Not too long, he woke up.

Realizing the new place he was in to his extreme astonishment, he stood to his feet instantly and looked for how to leave here.

"Young one, calm yourself. I was the one who brought you here to heal. You strained yourself greatly using that special technique of yours. I brought you here because after observing all your battles, I have deemed you as a worthy inheritor. Now, let me ask, would you like to be a inheritor of my master's legacy?" a blurry figure clad in black appeared before Alex and asked.

Alex was taken aback, he didn't know what the inheritance entailed. "Senior, my name is Alex. Greetings to you. Can I know what these inheritance is? I want to know if it's suitable for me?" he introduced himself and intelligently asked in a respectful tone.

"My master was the Azure Beastman. If you are able to inherit his legacy, everything my master had would be yours. This hall, methodology manuals, treasures, cultivation resources and so on would be yours. Do you accept?" It asked.

Alex's eyes glittered at the mention of methodology manuals and cultivation resources.

He wanted to be as strong as his role model very quickly.

Not revealing the excitement in his heart, he asked with indifference "Senior, why me? What about the others? Is there no one else more worthy of this legacy?"

But his mind was racing.

This was great wealth he was about to receive.

Besides, the Azure Beastman seemed like a powerful expert. He would have great accumulations.

"I don't think there is any one more worthy than you. You have a special body. The make-up of your body is vastly different from others. During all your battles, which I observed carefully, i discovered there are traces of divineforce energy in your attacks. This greatly amplified your attacks. Do you think it's normal for you to fight someone that has a higher cultivation level than you? It's absolutely impossible. The energy is responsible for the augmentation of the destructive power of your attacks. Besides, I only know of energy leaving the hands as they are the exit point where they transform into attacks. But you, energy erupted outwards from your entire body. It was like you had billions of exit points in your body. Your pores behaved like exit points releasing energy. There are other peculiarities such as your force-arteries, which can also called energy-channels, they seem to be to able to stretch to accommodate any quantity of energy moving through them. If it was another person using that technique you used, they would die instantly due to the tremendous overload of energy but nothing happened to you, you only fainted because you mentally overstrained yourself. You must be the product of really powerful experts. Your body's constitution is not something that mortals can produce." the entity replied.

Alex was taken aback by what this figure said and when he thought about it, it was true.

But the last part where it said he was the progeny of terrific experts, that he doubted very much.

He believed he just had great talents for cultivation.

"Senior, you said I have divineforce energy in my attacks, do you have an idea how it got into my body?" he asked.

"Divineforce energy, also called omega god-energy, is a unique energy that exists outside the other forms of cultivation energies. It's this energy expert from the immortal realm and beyond may begin to cultivate once they gain attunement to it. They can use this energy to enhance their energy-attacks to vast, terrifying degrees. It's this energy that gives them godly powers, world-shattering powers. Cultivators have also referred to this energy in many ways such as deity energy, divinity energy or absolute heaven energy. How it got into your body, it's a mystery no one may be able to solve." the blurry silhouette explained.

Alex understood now. So, he had that kind of energy circulating within his body.

Without thinking too far, he said "I accept to be the inheritor."

The figure replied "Good, but you must go through a trial to prove yourself absolutely worthy of this legacy. The trial consists of three stages. These stages are extremely difficult to surmount and you could possibly loose your life in them. Are you sure you want to enter this trial for the inheritance?" the blurry figure asked, it was trying to see if Alex would compromise.

"Yes" Alex said, his determination was unwavering.

"Good, it start now. Remember, if the stage seem too difficult for you, just say 'I quit' and you would be removed from the trial" the figure said.

"Well understood senior." Alex replied.

Like hell he was going to quit.

Once he set his mind to do something, he must do it. Even if it involves leaping into the maw of a gigantic beast. He must get what he wants.

Space warped around him and he vanished from this hall appearing on a large area of land.

When he recovered from the shock of his sudden teleportation.

He saw a beast in front of him, an ox-beast. It was fifteen feet tall and weighed more than seven thousand pounds.

It eyes shone with intelligence as it was in the earth-beast rank.

Gazing at Alex in indifference, it flesh suddenly turned bronze and then it rushed towards Alex.

Alex's eyes widened.

This was a beast in the earth-beast rank, that was two cultivation levels above him.

He quickly used the Wind Elixir technique. His eyes turned cyan and the moment he did, strong currents of air enveloped his figure and swirled like a vortex.

They swirled at extreme speed around him and constantly grew in size. The vortex at the moment had reached a height of thirty feet.

Alex was within a ball of air that floated at a great height in the vortex.

His body glowed like a sun, emitting cyan light that dyed everywhere. This dazzling glow emitted from his body as windforce energy rushed in great amounts into it.

The Ox-beast's eyes glowed in elation, this was a good seed.

Then It horn began to glow and suddenly, a massive horn formed out of energy shot towards Alex at extreme speed.

Alex's entire body then discharged large amounts of cyan energy that abruptly condensed and shaped into a massive staff that shot out at extreme speed towards the horn.

This was a technique called 'Mountain Splintering Wind Staff'.

Boom!

Shocking amounts of violent energy was released at the point of impact.

The staff shattered and dispersed while the horn shit towards him with great power.

"My attack that contains divineforce energy, couldn't stop or cancel out that attack? How come?" he asked inwardly.

Then he prepared to discharge more energy-attacks to destroy the staff shooting towards him.

What he didn't know was that even if his attacks had all the originforce energies in the world, it won't be able to achieve greater power output at his cultivation stage.

The quality of his energy was too low. It wasn't dense enough to be able to hold the slivers of divineforce energy. Some of these slivers would break away from his energy and return to the universe.

So at his stage, he could do nothing against an attack of someone or something two ranks higher than him in cultivation.

He produced many shields of energy that shot towards the horn with the aim of destroying the energy-horn shooting towards him.

Boom! Bang!..

Loud explosion sounds rang out rampantly.

After smashing through many energy-screens, the horn got thinner and fainter, it had lost a lot of energy and it momentum had also greatly reduced.

Another large staff quickly formed and struck the horn.

Boom!

The horn cracked and scattered apart, dissipating away.

Alex clenched his fist and the large amounts of energy exuding from his body which had gathered into a giant cloud that enclosed his small figure quickly condensed and shaped into a solid fist that lustred like polished steel.

"Wind Fist!"

Alex punched out and the fist above him shot out at extreme speed towards the Ox-beast.

The Ox was shocked by the size of the fist.

How was he able to put out that amount of energy that he transformed into a fist.

Besides this forbidden technique for great power output was really formidable.

What grade and type of method was this boy studying, it thought.

The horn on it head began to glow. Then a large horn of energy radiating extreme pressure shot out of it towards the fist.

This horn-construct of energy was many times larger and denser than the previous one.

It didn't put a lot energy in it attack the first time. This was because it was dishonorable to fight someone with a lower rank.

If it won, it was a facile victory.

But it had to this second time after seeing the power Alex produced.

Still, it only put three-tenth of it earth-rank energy in his new attack or it would simply kill him.

Boom!

An explosion occurred and devastating energies was released from the area of collision.

The fist shattered while the horn now slightly faint, still moved towards Alex seemingly unstoppable.

Screens of energy surfaced and shot forward to intercept the horn which caused continuous loud booms to ring out.

They weren't enough to destroy the horn, although it had now gotten very faint.

Argh!

The horn smashed into Alex causing him to wail loudly as he dropped to the ground.

It was like a rock struck him hardly.

He landed heavily to the ground. If not that the howling wind currents slowed his fall, he would develop possibly, life-threatening injuries at that height he plummeted.

The place where he was hit by the horn caved in. His ribs had also crushed in the process.

The impact affected his torso causing great pain to rack Alex's body, it was extremely excruciating.

Green veins bulge out from his skin as he endured the pain that flooded his body.

He could have passed out but he stopped himself from fainting, he needed to defeat this beast one way or the other to acquire this legacy.

If he didn't succeed in this, he should forget about being an existence whose aura of power alone would cause worlds to tremble.

The image of that heroic blue-caped man surfaced in his mind again, ignoring the agonizing pain that could make him insane, he picked himself up from the ground.

Standing back to his feet, he growled like a frenzied beast then he punched out.

The instant he punched out, the wind abruptly gathered, solidified and shaped into a massive fist that shot out at extreme speed towards the beast.

He didn't use his windforce energy, he used his control-power of the wind to form the wind fist.

The beast was slightly disappointed.

Then it sent a glowing horn of energy at Alex.

Alex couldn't fight back, the pain had taken over his senses. His vision became blurry and he felt extremely weak. His head ached badly and he felt he was loosing link to his wind manipulation power.

The pain couldn't allow him to think straight, he felt so helpless and useless.

Not giving up, he summoned his last shred of power, putting everything into it, his intent, his will, his soul into it, he roared and punched out.

This time, it wasn't an energy fist condensed out of windforce energy that shot out of his fist, it was a star that shot out of it. A star shaped out of condensed astral energy (starforce energy).

It was massive and extremely brilliant. It illuminated everywhere in it brilliant light as it shot towards the beast at inconceivable speed.

Unanticipatedly, the challenger, in the form of a Ox, formed from a fragment of power of the control entity, was struck by the star which instantly exploded on impact.

Boom!!

The moment the star detonated on colliding into the beast, vast amounts of violent energies and bright resplendent light erupted.

The explosion was similar to a supernova, explosion of stars, but on a small scale.

Despite the Ox's bronze-like tough skin, it shattered to pieces.

The earth below the point of impact shattered in a ripple-like pattern, extending hundreds of miles into the distance.

Alex wasn't shaken by the enormous rampaging energies that entirely engulfed his being, he just stood there, bewildered by the destructivity of this power that suddenly came from nowhere.

The berserk energies couldn't affect him one bit, even when the earth shook and fragmented when the devastating ripple-like seismic wave appeared, he just stood there unshakeable.

At that moment, he looked like a god-expert.

He was still replaying that star and the disastrous events that followed in his memory.

Then he became puzzled, "What was that star? It seemed to have come from me. That's impossible, I never cultivated anything related to star."

He shook his head, he couldn't believe what he just thought.

Now, he had forgotten about the pains that racked his body earlier since they had vanished.

After thinking for sometime about the star-shaped energy-attack he sent, he brought up that fist he punched out and looked at it, he saw that it had turned pitch-black in color.

"What?" he yelled in shock.

But he quickly recognized this as a physique.

From all the lectures he had received from his uncle, he was able to realize this.

Then his mind calmed.
