A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 8: Battle with the Beast King

Alex's eyes turned cyan.

He was employing the 'Wind Elixir' technique using his wind sense and air control vision.

He wanted to try out the Wind Elixir technique. He wanted to know it power.

Air gathered around him in and swirled at great speed.

Large amounts of windforce energy rushed into his body through his pores and into his energyhouse.

Sharply, a thin, durable sphere of compacted air formed around his figure and carried him high into the air within the swirling mass of air.

This sphere carried Alex up to a height where he was forty feet above the ground.

His entire body had begun to glow intensely in cyan light and the column of air twirling around him increased greatly and unceasingly in size.

With the way the winds howled furiously around him, he could simply be described as a god of wind.

Following the steps for "Thousand Golden Blades of Mayhem God" technique.

He aimed a palm at the beasts in the distance. Then tremendous amounts of windforce energy erupted from it.

Golden hues could be seen in the large stream of cyan energy that discharged from his finger.

He hadn't mastered this technique yet, it was supposed to be entirely golden.

Once this cyan energy that seemed like a small river in size erupted from his palm, it abruptly condensed and shaped into great numbers of huge blades which shot out at extreme speeds.

As the blades shot out, they pulled along with them strong gusts of winds.

Puchi!...

The skorrpaetigers in here were cut cleanly into halves.

Then the blades penetrated into the earth making hundreds of gashes in it.

In just a few seconds, he had annihilated so many beasts.

The Immovable Academy disciples trembled.

His power seemed to be growing by leaps every time he fought.

They couldn't understand how he could do this.

The power of this attack could rival that of someone in the condensation realm.

While they were awed, deep inside a route in the cave, a powerful ancient entity was observing the whole situation.

It was surprised at how Alex's windforce energy had slivers of divineforce energy.

This was an energy he shouldn't come in contact with until the Immortal realm.

It was this energy that amplified Alex's various attacks.

The being couldn't help but marvel, "What a tremendous blessing from the universe this child has. He can be an inheritor for my master's legacy, only he is worthy." It concluded.

The Skorrpaetiger king roared thunderously in extreme rage, then it dashed towards them.

Olivia quickly tried to launch her own attack to halt the Skorrpaetiger king in it frenzied rage towards them.

Her hands began to glow in intense yellow light, then she put a hand on the ground.

Suddenly, the portion of the earth she placed her hands on cracked and fragments of it were attracted to her arm.

They enwrapped to form a gauntlet.

This earth gauntlet increased in size as more shreds of earth attached to it.

Terraforce energy moved out from her body into the gauntlet which made it to glow strongly in yellow-brown light.

Infusing the gauntlet with terraforce energy caused it to increase it density and hardness.

"Great Earth Supreme Punch"

she shouted and punched out.

The massive, glowing earth-gauntlet shot out at tremendous speed towards the raging Skorrpaetiger king.

Bang!

The beast was knocked backwards by dozens of feet by the gauntlet.

But not even a mark couldn't be seen in it body. It wasn't damaged in the impact.

It roared loudly, then It body began to glow in purple light.

It lifted itself on it rear limbs, then stomped the ground hardly with it fore limbs.

The instant it stomped the ground, purple energy rippled out from it fore limbs in all directions.

The ground shattered in a ripple-like fashion and pieces of the earth were hurled at Alex and the group of students from the Immovable Mountain academy.

Olivia saw the incoming, rampaging power-attack and her eyes widened in fear.

This attack could annihilate all of them.

Very quickly, she punched the ground and shouted.

"Multilayered Earth Shield!"

Abruptly, many blocks of earth that spanned dozens of feet wide and long jutted out the earth.

The instant these large, dense blocks of earth emerged, the ripples of purple energy smashed into them.

But they couldn't stall for a few seconds, they shattered apart like a wall of sand that had a rock thrown through them.

The purple energy-ripple moved on with tyrannical force.

Abruptly, thin spheres of air formed around everyone, then a column of wind manifested beneath the spheres and swiftly lifted them high into the air.

In this way, they evaded the destructive ripples.

Alex had helped them dodge the destructive ripple by extending his air control power at them.

The spheres of air remained afloat in the air under the influence of Alex's air control power.

Alex at the moment looked like a sun as his entire body glowed intensely in cyan light.

This was because excessive amounts of cyan energy (windforce energy) moved into his body and saturated it.

The vortex of air around him still increased in size as winds from far distances away were pulled into this route and infused into the cyclone that revolved around Alex.

As windforce energy rushed into his energyhouse in overwhelming amounts, he felt he could explode very soon if he didn't stop.

At this moment, he had become very pale.

Without wasting time, large amounts of cyan energy erupted from his entire body.

It looked like he was engulfed in an enormous cyan flame. This energy increased to an astonishing height as they gushed out from him.

"Mono-Duality-Trinity Annihilation Wind Fists"

he punched out.

The energy that erupted from his entire body quickly condensed and shaped into a fist, then into two fists and three fists which shot out at great speeds towards the skorrpaetiger king.

As they shot out, they carried with them strong gales that could push large rocks by dozens of feet.

Boom! Bang!! Boom!!!

The fists smashed into the skorrpaetiger king one after the other with great hardness.

It only took a few seconds for the three fists to impact the large beast.

When the situation settled, no one could see the beast king or hear it growl. They only saw some pieces of its body on the ground which were scattered about.

They could identify it because the color of it purple flesh was many times darker than the other bits of flesh on the ground, which were light purple.

Alex had just killed a beast in a higher cultivation realm.

The respect in the eyes of the Immovable Mountain Academy students increased.

As for Olivia, she had more respect and great adoration for Alex.

She had also begun to like him. Not for his look or anything like that, but for his battle prowess. That was the marveling attribute of his that attracted her. He seemed very strong and powerful. Besides, he wasn't as proud as her who was aloof like all were ants that could be simply matched upon. He, who was supposed to be more proud because of his capabilities was far more friendly and accommodating than her.

Therefore, which female heartstrings wouldn't be tugged when a peerlessly handsome male displayed incredible powers and acted humble about it?

Besides, it gave the idea that he would become an amazing expert in future, an expert that would shake worlds by a shred of his power alone, just from witnessing the spectacular feats that he was pulling now.

Every beauty, whether mortal or immortal, no matter how strong they are, would want to be by the side of such mighty person.

When she realized she had thought too far, she smiled and a tinge of pink blossomed in her cheeks.

"Alex, you are just too awesome. You seem like someone that doesn't need a cultivation academy" Michael said and laughed.

He had just helped them remove that great obstacle or they would go back with a lot of injuries or perhaps leave some of their body parts here in their efforts to escape.

Alex only smiled.

Then like he felt something, he turned his head to look at Olivia.

Then he became frightened because of the way she looked at him.

In her eyes were the the hints of adoration and love.

His heart became erratic, but he concealed this very well. He only smiled and turned his head away quickly.

"Alex. We'll wait for you to recover your energy" Olivia said.

"No, I disagree. I would recover on the way. Let's go." Alex refused.

"I think you should listen to her. You look very pale. We would wait for you." Michael gave his own opinion too.

"Alright" Then Alex sat in the cross-legged position on the ground and closed his eyes.

Others did the same too, seemingly to relax.

Since he didn't have a pill that contained windforce energy, he could only absorb in small quantities at a steady rate from the essence of the wind.

Wind swirled around him, but they lacked that violence and destructive power as the one when he uses the Wind Elixir technique.

After many minutes of absorbing energy, his vision suddenly changed.

In this vision, he saw a young woman and a young lady beside her.

The two were like fairies that only existed in one's imagination. This was because they looked too beautiful and too perfect to be true.

The older woman had long black hairs that reached her waist, an oval face that had clear, intense azure eyes that sparkled like a gem, her nose and lips were structured in a way that accentuated her facial beauty.

She had a beautiful white skin. It was free of spots and blemishes. It glowed and made her look like a peerless celestial goddess.

This gave the feeling that she was a beauty that possibly appeared only once in every million years.

Her perfect figure made her look like a flawless clay statue come to life.

An aura of nobility and gracefulness could be perceived from the way she moved.

She wore an immaculate white gown that had beautiful patterns of gold embroidered on it, a golden necklace hung down from her neck.

It seemed she loves gold.

While the young lady by her side was another apex of beauty, although she paled slightly in comparison to this extremely beguiling woman, it was certain that no other beauty would rival her.

She had long scarlet hairs that looked like silk, an oval face that had clear crimson eyes that glittered beautifully in it, bright pink and full lips that were extremely attractive, a white, flawless skin that enchanted and captivated people.

An imposing aura of aloofness emitted from her. This could be noticed in the way she carried herself.

She wore a gorgeous bright red gown that had fiery patterns embroidered in it.

He was totally blown away by these exceedingly great beauties but the one thing that made a tremor run through Alex's mind and body was that he looked exactly like the woman gowned in white.

He was like a child, male version of her as he was masculine, he had a v-shaped face and a glaring male physique.

On seeing her, his heart trembled, he couldn't help but mutter in a questioning tone, "Mother?"

These beauty goddesses were astonishingly powerful. Just as they looked terrific in looks, they were just as terrific in battle.

Only two of them battled a great multitude of adversaries.

They canceled out hundreds of energy-attacks and sent theirs which annihilated dozens of these mighty figures at once.

The woman embellished in white pointed at them, and abruptly, millions of symbols appeared in space, each of these symbols were formed from a type of cultivation energy in the Realmverse.

These symbols merged, transforming into a vast sea of swords which shot out at extreme speed.

Each azure swords spanned tens of millions of kilometers in size.

They were extremely sharp that they sliced to bits these entities that had powerful bodies, and the frightening ancient beasts into pieces.

The young girl beside her had her hands glow in scarlet. She clenched it into a fist.

Then dark scarlet flames erupted from her luminescent fist. These flames radiated extreme heat, an uncanny heat that could burn small worlds to ashes in a flash.

Once she punched out, an enormous, dark scarlet fist of fiery energy that glittered lustrously like diamond, spanning millions of kilometers in size, shot out from her fist at great speed.

It exploded on impacts against many other terrifying counter-attacks into a seemingly boundless sea of scarlet flames.

These unbounded sea of dark scarlet flames raged in all directions burning everything caught in it to crisp.

Out of horror that sent his mind reeling, he was knocked out of this vision.

Sweating where he was seated in the cross-legged position, Alex opened his eyes from his cultivation position, but he had an absent-minded gaze.

He was awed by their great powers but he was thinking of that epitome of beauty and perfection that he subconsciously called mother.

The image of that woman had now deeply engraved in his mind and soul, no storm would erode this engraving, it would stay with him forever.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly longed for her. He couldn't explain it but he felt this woman was absolutely the person who gave birth to him.

What was she doing in that place fighting that great number of people, and who were those people? He couldn't find an explanation to these.

Then a thought quickly surfaced in his mind, "Is that heroic man that I often dreamt about my father and that woman my mother?" but he quickly snuffed out the flame of this thought as quickly as it kindled in his mind.

He couldn't think of that possibility, he shouldn't be in a Planeverse (Mortal World) if truly they were his parent, these people were gods and gods only live in Greatverses (Great World). Besides, his uncle had once told him that his parent were only affluent mortals who died in an Ultivehicle accident. So this thought further reinforced his conviction that they couldn't be his parent. 

It was just impossible no matter how hard he thought about it but it still remained a mystery to him why he looked like a younger male version of that woman. 

Therefore, he had a feeling that his mind was playing silly tricks on him.

He simply put these thoughts on the backburner as he focused on what was important.

After his absent eyes regained awareness, he smiled and stood up. Then he said to the people who looked at him with perplexed gazes "I have fully recovered. Let's go"

Then they began to move forward in search of the blue crystal lily.

Since their entry into this cave, they hadn't covered as little as one percent of the outskirt region of this unfathomably deep cave.

After walking for hours and discussing on many things, the friendship between Alex and Michael became tight and more tighter with Olivia.

Now he knew where she lived and what family she was from and likewise she. She knew were Alex lived and about his uncle.

She and the others were shocked to the extreme when they heard his uncle was the owner of Houston estate.

They had heard a lot about him from their parents as they were people from wealthy families that ran many chains of business.

Their families always spoke of Houston with fear in their eyes and respect in their voice.

Houston estate was known by many from far as a place that all its buildings were many times grander than the stately abode of a city lord.

The owner of the estate who was Alex's uncle, was extremely rich. He had many large, juggernaut business organizations in hundred cities in the state.

Ultimately, he was deeply feared because he was very powerful. His strength was fathomed to be the total of the entire strength of ten academies but how wrong they were.

Alex never knew a thing about his uncle, he had always been kept in the mansion like he was on home arrest. He had never been out of the mansion, so he never knew anything about his uncle's terrific power and ruthlessness outside the mansion. He always saw his uncle as a low-rank cultivator. But as one that was knowledgeable since he read a lot, to know more about the world and everything in it. However, he was very wrong about this as his uncle was something that even what he's called would tremendously terrify him. He didn't know that behind that likable and endearing, radiant smile of his which he usually showed was a heart that was full of mercilessness, which was as a result of everything that he had been through to gain the horrendous power that he possessed. 

He was surprised by their gazes that held absolute reverence but he didn't ask them anything concerning the puzzling change in the way they looked at him.

Not liking the way he was being looked at, he adroitly changed the topic.

Then they began to converse on new and interesting topics.
