A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 134: No treasure in the land

Seeing the large palm descend towards them, they all briefly shrieked in terror and then drained themselves of every energy in their energyhouses regardless of the consequences.

These turned into large, protective screens of energy that floated above them.

Bang!

The large multicolored palm of mixed energies smash into the hundreds of them with immense heaviness. And like the hand of a god, it shattered their shields and pressed all of them deep into the earth.

Their skeletons shattered and blood spurted like fountains from breaks in their skins. This blood formed pools around them.

The sight was really gruesome.

Alex did this because he couldn't take it anymore. He had been provoked to the point he had to deal them all heavy damages that they wouldn't forget in a very short time.

Then the enormous defensive orb composed from many energies which protected Elena decomposed and the energies that constituted it returned to the realmverse.

Alex then went to meet her who also walked towards him and past him.

She looked at where the palm pressed into and could see a deep and large crater there. And when she got to the edge of the crater, she saw hundreds of students in it screaming in agony.

They had bones jutting out from their entire bodies and their blood forming a small pool around them. They were conscious but their eyes were red from excruciating pains. Their faces were were pale and green veins bulged from their heads.

Elena shook her head in pity for them. But she was awed that Alex could single-handedly defend himself against their attacks and smash them into the earth. It was like they were ants before him.

With a smile in her face, she went to meet Alex and said "Let's leave here"

Alex nodded.

As they left, someone stood far away watching.

That person was Karen. She too was awed.

She was heavily surprised at how Alex could discharge shocking amounts of many energies from his body in an instant. Also, he cultivated so many energies.

She who cultivated nine and just one more she would step into the Beyonder realm, Alex had long entered it.

Karen then knew that she was absolutely right about what she speculated about him days ago. That he wasn't from a family from this world but from ones that possess the power and strength to reside and flourish in great worlds or major worlds.

She shook her head and decided to go back to her organization. Her mission this time around won't be a successful one.

She felt so because if she made the child of such powerful experts come join their organization, out of wrath, his parent could appear and wipe them all out to retrieve their child. They sent him out there to train himself and not become a part of an evil organization. So she thought.

Karen suddenly felt depressed and melancholic when she realized it was impossible for Alex to join as him joining would yield devastating results for them. They would risk an all-out obliteration.

What caused her sadness was because she had always thought she would have an inferior who she can terrorize as Alex was a sweet and powerful creature. She was hoping to transform him with her ways when he joined their organization and became her junior in rank.

She looked at him as he went far away into the distance with Elena. Then she suddenly felt like she had lost something precious to her.

She didn't know why she suddenly felt like that. She then realized that she had attached herself way too much to Alex. And she had never been this attached to anyone.

All those curiousness about Alex and the impressions he gave her had caused her to become emotionally attached to him.

After a while, she forced herself to not think she had lost anything. Then she regained control of her mind.

"Well, bye kid. We shall see again." She uttered and vanished from the spot she was in.

"It's time for us to unearth the last treasure" Elena said with pride in her tone.

With all that she had witnessed, it was certain that they were going home with all the artifacts.

Alex nodded with a smile.

"But where to go now? We have been 'lucky' two times. I don't think luck would be on our side for the third time." Elena said and looked at Alex with a gaze that felt, 'Alright, perform your magic.'josei

Alex saw the gaze and smiled wryly when he understood what it meant.

Elena really wanted to see how he always did it.

"Elena, let's go in any direction. We might be lucky again you know." Alex said.

Elena smiled.

"You think I am a fool? You are doing something that's making you know if there's a treasure or not in a place. First was at the pool where you said there was no treasure. And second was in that cave where we exhumed a buried treasure. Those are strong evidences that indicates you are doing something that would make you know for sure that a treasure-artifact is around. And it's not related to luck in anyway. So do your thing and let's get over with this competition." She said and lightly hit him on the shoulder.

Alex nodded with a smile. There was nothing he could do again other than search for the last treasure. Besides, he wanted to leave here and start his adventure.

He closed his eyes. Still bare-footed, he stood firmly on the ground and deployed his feel-sense.

The primordial senseforce energy or sense-enhancement statute energy responsible for the vast augmentation of Alex's physical senses began to produce the unbridled power of sensory perception.

Since it had permeated and fused with Alex's sense organ of touch and feel which was his skin, it increased it sensitivity to unbelievable levels and the range to which it could cover.

Then his feel-sensory awareness spread out from his feet and reached out into the far distance. It stretched so far that it covered the entire subsurface land.

Alex didn't hold back this time. He completely released the perception-power of his feel sense.

Besides, it was so fast it didn't take him few seconds to feel all the vibrations in the earth.

But he detected no strange and unnatural vibrations in the earth.

Then he furrowed his brows. Something was wrong. He was supposed to detect the treasure in the earth. But he couldn't.

He began to make hundreds of deductions in his head why this was so. Then his eyes opened and shone with a light of understanding.

He looked at Elena with a smile and said "There's no treasure buried in the entire land."
