A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 215: Alex's Hope II

Then expectedly, the greatly numerous, massive fragments of earth that floated in the air around Alex, by the Power of the Earth Movement emitting from the brown orb which was a solid condensate of earth elemental power, suddenly shot out at shocking speeds towards Liam. And as they shot out at tremendous velocities towards Liam, the near-thousand, large earth fragments with surprisingly sharp edges because of the manner they were torn away from the earth began to glow in a brown color, and emanated the Power of Earth. 

They had actually been infused with large wisps of earth-power that shot towards them from the brown orb. So this increased their solidness and density to a great level. If they were like glass that could be shattered before, now, they were like tempered steel. 

At the same time that the enormous pieces of earth darted at extreme speeds towards Liam like overshooting meteors, the waters that were pulled from river, streams, ponds located at far distances away which then gathered around him and eventually merged to form an immense pool that floated beneath his feet, suddenly shot out towards Liam as huge spears and sky-concealing, thick arrows of ice; they actually hid a large stretch of the Thunderous Sky because of their numbers as they resembled a great cloud. 

Also, ice is usually white in color, but the innumerable ice arrows and spears that Alex transformed the pool of water into, which then shot towards Liam, were actually blue in color. 

The blue orb which was previously present, deep at the center of the massive, floating water pool, when large amounts of water were pulled from rivers and streams that were far away, and then merged to form the pool which it submersed itself into, was what produced the Power of Water which permeated each and every one of the ice arrows and spears generated from the pool, changing their usual white color to a mysterious deep blue.

At the same time that the earth based-attack and water based-attack shot out, the other attacks shot out too.

The massive scarlet-gold ball of fire which emanated a tremendously searing heat that could seemingly evaporate the entire water in a sea shot like a fired cannonball towards Liam. And as it shot out at a furious speed, it continually produced waves of intense heat that would give one the feeling that it was the sun that was being catapulted by some unimaginably huge, invisible God-being.

The terrible cyclone of wind that had manifested, also moved along with the others at insane speed towards Liam. Rotating with extreme destructive power, and exerting a strong pulling force like it was a black hole that pulled in light, it roared like a berserk, mighty creature of wind as it swirled and moved at an high speed towards Liam. 

While the last of the element-based attacks that were generated which were the thousands of towering, massive green-colored vines with exceedingly numerous branches, unexpectedly fired their sharp-tipped, extremely long and thick, durable branches at Liam.

Liam saw the multi-elemental attacks raging towards him and his face became solemn. Just from witnessing the attacks, he could tell that they possessed a great killing and destructive power. 

However, he was sure that they couldn't kill him. He was a peak-phase, Saint Emperor-stage cultivator, and the incoming attacks, from the pulses of power emanating from them using his cultivation percipience ability, he was able to detect that they were half-step, Great Saint-tier attacks. Just one of his full-powered energy-attack should shatter them into pieces.

As soon as the multi-elemental attacks shot out, the Thunderous Sky which was linked to Alex's mind suddenly began to glow. And this time, it glowed excessively bright that it began to tremble, giving the feeling that it could collapse anytime soon.

Alex was actually forcing the sky-mimicking, offensive treasure-artifact to yield all the lightniforce energy that it could generate.

Now emitting many colors of light that dyed the earth in their colors, a single but continuous multicolored bolt of lightning that spanned the entire length and width of the Thunderous Sky, suddenly shot out from it towards Alex who was at it center and was now wielding The Purifier's sword.

Immediately he got struck by it, and unceasingly at that, like he was being attacked by an unending rampaging stream of electricity, the physique that he generated which could control lightning and thunder, effortlessly and painlessly absorbed the entire thousand-feet, rampant blast of electricity. 

Then the absorbed electricity was continuously channeled together with the violet-colored electricity that discharged from his body. This actually weaved around the absorbed lightning from the Thunderous Sky as it flowed into The Purifier's sword that he now wielded. 

Also, the perceptible Powers of the Five Elements that continually erupted from the symbolic images that seemed to be branded into Alex's body which was now in it super-powered form, were sent into the energy-space in The Purifier's sword. In there, they fused together to become a single, solid condensate of power that emanated an unprecedented and unexplainable type of vastly destructive arcane power. Besides, astounding amounts of deathforce energy and darkforce energy were being pumped into the sword's energy-space. It was like Alex wanted to fill up that space with the withering-decomposition-death realm-energy and the darkness-shrouding realm-energy that were continually pouring out from him into the sword. Then the last, which was the incorporeal, soul-freezing, jet-black lunarforce energy, was channeled in tremendous quantities, and at an astonishingly rapid rate into the sword.

All these he did very quickly that only some seconds had passed, and yet, The Purifier's sword now contained overly huge amounts of many type of energies, and a fused core of arcane elemental power that radiated a strange destructive power.

When Alex finished what he was doing, and after studying Liam for a bit and noticing something, he unexpectedly rapidly shot towards him, using the fast, temporary flight-power that he now possessed as he was in the false Saint stage. 

...........

When Alex sent out the multi-elemental attacks, with a laugh of mockery at the far distance that he floated at, Liam aimed his palm at them. Then suddenly, as a metalforce energy-cultivator, a large stream of metalforce energy gushed out from his palm which abruptly condensed and shaped into a large solid palm that shone with metallic lustrousness, giving the feeling that it was a palm formed from real metal. 

As soon as it formed which took less than a second, it shot at a great speed towards the large cloud of ice arrows and spears that hid an area of the Thunderous Sky.

BANGGG!! 

The palm struck them and they explosively shattered into bits.

The cloud of icy arrows couldn't even reduce the momentum that it came with.

Bang! 

Bang! 

Bang!... 

Still moving with the same speed and momentum that it initially shot out with, it continued into the distance, shattering all the attacks in it path. It was like the unstoppable, metal-like hand of an exceedingly wrathful god, as it smashed into tiny pieces everything that it came across.

However, the attacks that Alex sent out were just just too many, so Liam would have to produce many more attacks if he wanted to destroy them. And if course, he would do so.

As soon as he sent out that large, solid palm of metalforce energy, more metalforce energy began to rapidly and continuously gush out in great quantities from his two hands like raging streams. Then they abruptly compacted and took all forms of immense, solid shapes that shot at incredible speeds towards the attacks that Alex launched at him.

Boom!

Bang!

Bang!

Loud booming sounds continuously rang out as the attacks were easily destroyed by the attacks of different shapes that Liam sent out.

The exceedingly long and spiky branches of the towering vines that shot towards Liam to wrap him and viciously impale him with the tall needle-like projections that they had now grown, were instantly reduced into pieces by the unseen, destructive waves of compacted telekinetic power that Liam sent out from his palms.

As for the large, scarlet-gold orb of fire that emitted intense heat that could seemingly vaporize a small sea, it tried in destroying the massive palm of metalforce energy that was shooting fearlessly towards it. 

Although the palm-attack gave signs of melting as it was now red-hot and began to yield tiny eruptions of slivers of metalforce energy which returned to the realmverse, it still tyrannically destroyed the crystal-like, scarlet-gold orb of blazing fire which exploded into a violent and raging, colossal stream of flame. It was simply like a small sun exploded. 

While the dreadful wind cyclone that sucked in everything towards it center was abruptly eliminated by the dozens of large, solid staffs of metalforce energy that were sent at it. They viciously struck it and caused it loose it form; the instant that it was heavily impacted, it funnel-shaped form was destroyed, then it also lost the arcane elemental power that kept it in the cyclone form, as it turned back into winds that scattered away as strong blasts of air in every directions. 

Haha!! 

Liam laughed raucously. 

He was simply enjoying how he was destroying Alex's attacks which he once slightly dreaded earlier.

Then recalling that, he became angry at himself for actually being slightly fearful of the quasi-half step, Great Saint-tier attacks that Alex sent out, whilst in the peak-phase, Saint Emperor stage.

Shaking his head disappointedly, he watched to see what Alex would do next. He wanted to see if Alex could come up with an attack that would cause him to spurt blood from his mouth. He wanted to see the marveling attacks that Alex would unleash again. Also, he thought of the earlier dark-colored sphere that surfaced around Alex, and boosted the destructive capacity of his powered clap to primordial god-levels. Then he guessed that Alex had used up that power since he didn't unleash it again. 

At this point in time, he felt very relaxed, and not in any way tense, as his attacks effortlessly shattered Alex's numerous fearsome attacks, and still continued into the distance with the same momentum that they shot out with. Then also because of his thought that Alex had definitely ran out of that damaging capacity-augmentation, black-colored sphere of destruction-permeating power. However, what he didn't know was that Alex could continue to unleash the power for as many times as he likes. It was just that he didn't want to as it always shattered parts of his body into pieces. It was greatly stressing and straining to use the power that would crush his body into fragments and cause him intense pain. 

So unknowing to Liam, he had subconsciously lowered his guard, which was what Alex waited for in the distance with the new multi-attributed, fused attack that he had prepared, and was using the far-seeing power of the Star-Gazing eyes to study him. 

Then having observed him for a bit, and then felt that it was time, he suddenly dashed towards Liam.... With a blazing hope that he would successfully slay him. And by successfully, he meant that 'without him sustaining fatal injuries.'
