A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 208: What you now know is only a drop in the ocean

When the symbols appeared, no one noticed it as Alex was wearing an armor. However, since his face wasn't masked, the Sky Lord stage cultivators that were flying towards him saw the symbols that had surfaced on his face. Then they witnessed to their amazement how parts of Alex's blackened, decaying face gradually became white again. It was like the poisoning and corroding energies in his body were being ejected, causing him to regain his white color.

Their heart shook badly from what they saw, then to prevent anything new, unexpected and uncontrollable from coming up as Alex fearsomeness and ruthlessness in battle was something to dread or be greatly terrorized about, the Sky Lord stage cultivators quickly zoomed towards slowly-recovering Alex to grab him and bring him for their Master, as per his order.

....

Alex's body slowly regained it white color because of it unique and peerless ability to absorb every form of cultivation energy that it comes into contact with.

So, since the myriad energy-absorption and devouring abilities of his body which were really the biological-cultivation defense mechanisms of his body suddenly activated, but due to the perception of the new and foreign cultivation energies in his body, the wisps of poisonforce energy and corrodeforce energy that continuously wreaked unbridled havoc in his body were abruptly acted upon by a profound, quasi-sentient, astronomical attracting force that came from far within his energyhouse.

As a mystifying, tremendously powerful, attractive force that would cause any non-indigenous energy in his body to resist the call or summon of even Immortal Emperor-class cultivators, that would seize control just over any form of energy, whether normal energies or statute energies (primordial energies) in his body, the sinister realm-energies causing worrying degrees of harm to Alex's body were being strongly pulled by this exceedingly domineering mystical force from his body cells, and then channeled in large bundles to his energyhouse, actually becoming his own energy. Although they settled in his energyhouse like docile kittens, waiting to be called upon, Alex wouldn't be able to control them until he comprehends their peculiar characteristics; entering into harmony with them and gaining the power to control them.

Before the Sky Lord stage cultivators would reach a close proximity of Alex, his eyes snapped open and a brilliant light emanated. This light gave them the chills as it induced the feeling of great danger.

They stopped where they were and observed Alex whose entire body, including his eyes, nose, mouth and ears suddenly erupted an astonishingly large mass of golden swordforce energy that caused the air to churn violently because of the power of tyrannical sharpness radiating from it. Then the incredible mass of golden sharpness-energy partitioned into many hundreds before instantly compacting and shaping into hundreds of blades which then shot out at extreme speeds towards the Sky Lord stage cultivators.

...

When Alex's face regained it usual white color, although the festering wounds were still present as he needed to swallow an healing pill to make them go away, but since he could overcome the Great Saint-level power of corrosion and poisoning produced by the corrodeforce energy and poisonforce energy coursing in his energy veins, Liam and Jared couldn't help but be shocked to the extreme. Their astonishment was to the point that they were dazed beyond comparison as they had their mouths wide open and wouldn't close anytime soon. They had never seen anything more marveling than this. While Olivia, who prayed for something miraculous to occur to Alex, became exceedingly dazed too. He had actually recovered from the corroding and poisoning effects of the sinister energies in his body without the use of a poison-expelling pill and body corrosion neutralization pill. She totally wondered how that was possible. However, her mind continued to revolve in shock without showing signs of stopping anytime soon.

Not able to recollect herself, she remembered what Alex told her then after he raped her. It was now that she understood that Alex didn't try to rape her. He only had to, seeing the state that her mind and body was brought into because of the movement of the energy from his body into hers, perhaps due to arousal. So it was never his fault. Then she was glad that she didn't say or do anything that would have turned them into enemies. Also remembering how Alex slammed down on her for many minutes, she smiled affectionately and then shook her head.

She then asked, directing her voice into the air as she couldn't see the palace-spirit.

"You knew about this ability of his all along?"

"Yes." It responded. Then it continued "But don't think that you now know all of his abilities. What you now know is equal to a drop in the ocean. There are still tons of mind-numbing abilities that he is yet to show"

.......

The Sky Lord stage cultivators too were immensely dazzled by the feat that Alex carried out, but they weren't in this state for too long. And as seasoned battle experts, they immediately sent out their palms at Alex the moment that he formed swords from his golden swordforce energy and hurled it at them using his mind connection to them.

The fire-element cultivators among them quickly grouped together. Then using a technique called 'Flame Dragon strike', a battle-method from a fire-element battle methodology that they studied at the organization, they formed large, solid dragons out of the pyroforce energies that they cultivated.

Once the dragons formed, they shot out at breakneck speed towards the incoming swords composed from golden swordforce energy. And as they moved at tremendous speed towards the swords, they caused the temperature of the air to soar to extremely unbearable degrees. If it was on the ground such were created, the earth around them for thousands of feet would instantly turn into magma. Besides, people that weren't in the range of the attacks would have a feeling that they were in a furnace. The heat waves radiating from the many sky-tier fire element attacks that were unleashed were simply powerful and fierce. 

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!...

The attacks struck each other and many loud explosion sounds rang out which was immediately accompanied by violent releases of destructive fire energy. These raging fiery energies rushed into the surrounding in all directions like oceanic tidal currents, trying to ravage everything in their paths. However, since the collisions which resulted in the eruptions of the devastating energies took place high in the air, there was no damage made to the surface of the earth, except for sphere-shaped regions of vacuums appearing at the many different points that the enormous and solid attacks clashed into one another.

But Alex's numerous sword-shaped attacks which were infused with strengthforce energy, increased the qualities of his sharpness-bearing energy-offensives to the degree that they could match up to that of a peak-phase heaven adept stage cultivator. His attacks were transformed into quasi-heaven adept stage attacks. Therefore, possessing a higher degree of density which was as a result of the infusion of strengthforce energy into them, they didn't explode or burst into raging, violent streams of chaotic swordforce energies upon devastating collisions with the other attacks. Instead, because of their great-degree solidness, they reduced the opposing attacks they impacted into streams of energies. They had basically eliminated the dragon-forms that the pyroforce energy attacks took.

A second later, the swords formed from swordforce energy shot out of the fiery energy storm toward the fire-element cultivators.

What the hell?

The fire-element cultivators saw Alex's sword-shaped attacks shoot out of the tremendous and fierce, tidal bursts of tyrannical fiery energy that took place a moment ago and couldn't help but have their minds reel in dread.

Very quickly, they produced shields of energy which was a screen of energy that immediately surfaced in front of them all.

Same was also done by the other non-attacking cultivators who quickly produced protective energy screens from the energies that they cultivated to shield themselves from the incoming, fast-shooting attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Slash! Slash! Slash!...

Many bang sounds rang out as the massive swords struck the screens that the Sky Lord stage cultivators quickly produced, shattering them into pieces. Then as attacks produced from sharpness-energy, slash sounds began to ring out as the swords lacerated the Sky Lord stage cultivators, cutting them into halves and causing bright red blood to rain.

The Sky Lord stage cultivators that were spared from the extreme laceration power of the sharpness-bearing attacks as they weren't in their range had their heart fill up with fear and terror. They just couldn't understand how Alex's attacks could be vicious and overwhelming. But they wouldn't know that Alex's attack was formed from a type of swordforce energy that possessed the will to cut apart every and any form of bind or restriction in it path. It was a juggernaut energy that didn't want to be stopped or restrained by any anything once it's in motion. Besides, it possessed Autarchy Will, the will to exist as an absolute sovereign. So, every other energy must bow to it or give way to it. Also, strengthforce energy was infused into them, increasing their denseness to a level that they were on par with that of peak-phase heaven adept stage cultivators.

Although the Sky Lord stage cultivators started to dread Alex who seemed like an Ancient Expert in the form of a teenager, they still remained there to attack, facing him head-on.

Gazing at Alex coldly, their palms began to glow intensely in all colors of light. Then different forms of terrifying powers began to radiate from them in all directions.

Then they sent out their palms at him, abruptly discharging large amounts of energy that rapidly condensed and shaped into massive attacks of energies that took different kind of shapes. Once these attacks formed, they shot out towards Alex at extreme speeds.

Alex's face turned solemn upon seeing the great numbers of energy-attacks that the furious Sky Lord stage cultivators launched at him. He could try to dodge, but he wasn't sure if he would successfully evade the colossal and torrential, fierce attacks that were shooting towards him at high speeds. If they were on the ground, he was hundred percent certain of dodging the attacks, just because of his movement-speed that would be tremendously enhanced by his strengthforce energy. But right here in the air, he couldn't try to evade as he didn't know the maximum speed that the wings attached to his back could achieve. He couldn't take that chance or if he did so, and he was wrong about the peak velocity that the wings could attain, it could be disastrous for him.

Therefore, he tried to protect himself from the attacks using his own energies that were augmented to a level that they would match that of Earth Adept stage cultivators by the divineforce energy that had mixed with them. This he was highly confident of.

Then very quickly, many different types of energies discharged from his body in great amounts. With numerous colored energies continuously expelling from his body rapidly, he seemed like a top-grade energy synthesis array in the form of a human.

As soon as the energies erupted from the pores of his body, hands and feet, his figure became completely shrouded by the tremendous amounts of energies that he released from his body. And still, the rapid eruption of astonishing amounts of myriad energies from his body didn't come to an end. It was like he had infinite amounts of these energies.

This spectacle deeply shocked everyone that were seeing this. Especially Jared and Liam who hadn't recovered from the earlier shock that Alex gave them when he healed from the poisonous and corroding power of the poisonforce and corrodeforce energy that he transmitted into his body using the needle which he stealthily launched at him. While Olivia who was still shaken by the impossible feat that Alex carried out when he was poisoned couldn't help but have her mind spin in awe again from what she was seeing from the screen that she stared at with undivided attention. Although she knew about Alex's cultivation of sixteen energies, she just couldn't help but be greatly astounded by what she was witnessing at the moment.

True that Alex cultivated many energies, it should absolutely impossible for him to release such quantities of them all at once. It is a theoretically and practically impossible thing to execute. Anyone that tried to do so would simply explode into pieces, or burst into mist of blood from the rapid and enormous rush of energies. However, Alex was doing it, like it was nothing spectacular and amazing. Then it was right now that Olivia discovered another of Alex's incredible abilities.

"Would there be an end to his fantastic abilities?" She asked the palace-spirit.

"That, I can't tell." The palace-spirit responded.

Olivia shook her head. Then she continued to watch Alex from the screen with a doting smile hung on her lips.
