A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 161: Overpowering!

Few moments later after Alex transformed and was quickly evicted from the Azure Beastsman palace by the palace-spirit because of the vast number of lightning bolts that suddenly, uncontrollably discharged from his body, his skin which was in this marveling form actually began to crack and rip apart. It couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure acting on it. As it tore apart, it caused Alex great, unbearable pain as he groaned, gnashing his teeth hard that they could almost shatter. Also, his bones weren't spared from this crushing pressure, they began to crack one after the other that Alex's skeletal framework which was cracking and breaking very fast began to sound like hundreds of crackers that were lit with flames. Even his organs had turned to mush. Except his heart which was protected by an enveloping force field that continuously emanated from his dad's spatial necklace which had sank into his body.

The cold look in Alex's eyes at this point in time had vanished and was replaced by look of misery and intense agony.

He surely wouldn't be able to endure this for long.

Alex should have collapsed to the ground. But because of the flight power of the physique, he remained afloat in the air and tried his best to endure the pain just so he could do what he wanted to do next.

What he deduced in his head actually worked out well. Alex's soul was actually able to withstand the vast consumption of soul energy by the physique that he produced.

The pill that he swallowed acted as a seemingly inexhaustible source of soul energy as it continuously powered the astronomically powerful form Alex had taken; the physique although was a saint-tier physique because Alex's comprehension of it profoundness stopped at the saint stage cultivation realm, it power was actually far greater than that as it approached the sage-level cultivation stage. So summarily, Alex's understanding of it mysteries stopped at the Saint level, but the power of the physique approached that of a very high cultivation level. It was right for this physique to have such power as it was a sovereign-type physique, one that ruled over all. One could only imagine the power of the physique if Alex's comprehension stopped at a cultivation stage that was higher than the Saint stage. That was simply why Alex's special body couldn't handle the power produced by it.

Therefore, because of the immense amount of energy produced by the pill, Alex's soul was spared from having his soul sucked completely dry of it energy and possibly dispersing in the process, resulting in his unfortunate death.

The pill he swallowed gave the physique the energy it needed. Yet, despite the great amount of energy it yielded, it was quickly getting depleted. And this was a pill that would be enough for a high-level soul cultivator to cultivate the soul from the fundamental phase to the zenith phase. Right now, in a mere couple of seconds, the soul energy which was produced by the pill upon dissolution had rapidly reduced that it was now three-tenth of the original quantity that was initially generated.josei

Not long, despite in this form, part of his body began to burst into mists of blood and this caused Alex great pain as he screamed out loud in misery and agony.

...

When the illusory figure appeared behind Alex, because of it towering form, the whole six hundred saint stage cultivators scattered about in the legacy acquisition-battle ground in search of Alex saw the colossal, lofty figure and became exceedingly amazed.

"What the hell is this?"

"Where did this come from?"

Then after recovering from their deep amazement, they shot towards where the figure was at great speeds.

So flying at great speeds, in a few moments, they arrived in front of Alex, but many feet away. In their eyes could be seen intense marvel which also radiated fear.

Once they arrived, Alex didn't waste time. It was good that they had all gathered. And being an excellent multi-tasker, he simultaneously deployed four of the battle-methods of the physique.

'Nine-Layered Clouds of Deity Extermination'

'Thunderworld Expansion'

'Devouring Ripples Of Chaotic Fury'

'Realm-Collapsing Electricity Geyser'

Once he utilized the battle-methods, in an instant, four tremendously powerful attacks surfaced.

The first was a vast nine-layered cloud. It was so enormous in size that it seemed to span the sky. But this cloud was mystifying as it was dark violet and blue in color. It did not have the usual white color of normal rainclouds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Deafening peals of thunder rampantly rang out from this multi-layered cloud, and each peal caused the earth to tremble and the blood of the Saint stage cultivators to churn.

As soon as the layered cloud appeared and the peals rang out, enormous, cylindrical columns of dual-colored electricity discharged from it. These columns which were violet-blue in color and were thirty-feet wide struck the earth with tyranny. It was like they wanted to penetrate to the center of the mortal world. So one could only imagine the amount of destructive power they would each produce.

The second was a vast-sized sphere of electricity that appeared in front of Alex and expanded outwards at a great speed, encircling everything in an instant. This sphere nearly enveloped everything in this place. Then the air became mysteriously charged with electricity. One couldn't inhale it or one would feel a terrible sting in his nostrils and lungs. And like a thundercloud in the form of a sphere, nearly-countless lightning bolts which were twenty-feet thick surfaced and shot about within the sphere, in a criss-crossing manner. These bolts actually emerged from the surface of the sphere and shot about within it, trying to annihilate everything in their path.

The third attack were large, visible ripples that spread out in all directions from Alex's body. These ripples were purely composed from electricity and moved with a kinetic force and solidness that would level mountains when they are struck by them.

And for the last was a seemingly boundless amount of lightning bolts that exploded outwards from Alex's body.

These four types of lightning-based attacks struck out at once, impacting the Saint stage cultivators with an overwhelming will to destroy and slaughter all in their path. There was simply no path of escape for the Saint stage cultivators. Besides, the phenomenal attacks appeared too sudden that they couldn't produce any form of defensive barrier of energy to protect themselves from the onslaught. But they weren't killed in the process as space distorted around everyone of them and were instantly teleported away.

While they kept vanishing as the attacks would nearly impact them, Alex's body suddenly froze. Then it turned pale-white and collapsed to the ground with his front. He smashed his face, chest, groin and knee into the earth. But that wouldn't be much of a pain for Alex as he wasn't too high in the air. But at the moment, Alex's entire arms were missing. They had probably exploded into bits. Even his legs, from his knees downwards had vanished. Blood gushed out unstoppably from Alex's shoulders and knees which looked like his forearms and legs were ripped away from them.

Why Alex's body suddenly stiffened was because when he released the attacks just so he could evict the saint stage cultivators, the physique which needed energy to do that, instantly sucked away all the energy available to it. It instantaneously, entirely devoured the soul energy produced by the pill and then Alex's own to a great extent. So there was little to no energy for Alex's soul to continue existing. At the moment, he looked dead as the remaining part of his body were very stiff and cold. But his heart was still slowly beating.

The Azure Beastsman's treasure palace appeared as it shot out from Alex's mom's spatial ring. Then it quickly produced a spatial manipulation power that brought Alex's badly damaged body into the hall of the palace. In the next instant, a regeneration pill appeared above Alex's mouth and entered it. Then it turned into a large amount of healforce energy that quickly healed Alex's body. Also, a soul recovery pill and vitality pill appeared and entered Alex's mouth to help him recover his soul energy and fill him with vitalforce energy just to keep his body working.
