A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Quickly, she sent out a serious energy-attack that possessed her saint-level power.

This attack was a solid palm of pyroforce energy.

As it shot towards Alex, it continuously emitted heat waves that caused the ground beneath it to instantly melt.

Giving off intense heat radiation that affected the atmospheric temperature of this region, the degree of hotness of this area rapidly shot to extreme levels.

Alex where he stood could feel the heat. It was unbearable. It was like he was at the heart of a volcanic mountain.

The solid brown earth for thousands of feet couldn't withstand the terrifying heat produced by the attack, it instantaneously turned into molten earth, becoming a fiery red-hot liquid which instantly appeared on the earth surface as the massive glowing palm of energy traversed over it towards Alex.

Alex quickly readied himself to defend. Then he deployed one of the battle techniques of the physique.

[God-cleaving Twin Blades]

The instant he utilized the technique, two of the seven clones by his side began to emit an astonishing power of tyrannical sharpness.

This sharpness-power manifested as a vast aura of resplendent radiance around the both of them.

The brilliant colorful auras which were phenomena resulting from the laceration power emanating from the bodies of the clones caused the air and earth for hundreds of feet to slash apart in thousands of places.

The slashes in the air were visible to anyone as the pitch-black void were revealed in each of them.

The unbridled release of the power of sharpness had caused the spatial layer of this area to be slashed apart in thousands of places to reveal the emptiness realm of this world which was the pitch-black void.

Alex pointed at the palm coming towards him and the two clones shot into the air towards the palm attack.

As they shot towards the palm, the image of a massive violet blade with hundreds of mysterious symbols appeared, enclosing their figures. This colossal sword-image enveloping the clones exerted a pressure that caused the earth below it to rent.

Boom!!!

The earth shook when the attacks clashed into one another. Destructive waves of violent energies surfaced and moved into the distance with devastating might.

But the energy-clones weren't affected in any way by the impact. They cut through the attack like a hot knife through butter and moved on towards Karen with power to slash all pieces.

"Nice!"

Karen said as she nodded her head.

Then she flicked her fingers at the two clones and two pencil-sized rays of sage-level energy shot out of it towards the clones.

Boom!

The clones instantly shattered apart. They couldn't withstand an attack carrying sage-level damaging power.

Alex quickly willed himself back to normal. With more soul invigorating pills in his hand, he swallowed it all.

This time around, he focused on having a specific physique.

Then he placed his concentration on the word 'control' which he chanted in his head as he tried to make a physique manifest by recalling all the things he had gone through which made him irk.

[Fortune Stealing Physique]

Huh?

Alex became surprised. He didn't know what kind of physique this was.

Then he became worried that he had summoned a useless physique. And so wanted to will his body to revert. But then he stopped.

Since he wanted to control the battle, his mind wouldn't play a trick on him and give him a physique that would be useless to him at the moment.

So, it would give him what he asked specifically for. He was sure of this as he had done it several times in the last.

Therefore, he didn't think too deep about it again. He quickly used it transformation technique.

But his body remained as usual. There was no change in his body's form. Except that a type of unseen power rippled from his body.

"Star Wrecking Fireball"

Karen said and aimed her palm at him. Then an excessive amount of pyroforce energy erupted from it which rapidly condensed and shaped into a super-sized ball of fire that spanned thousands of feet in size.

"No" Alex said as his eyes widened in horror.

He felt Karen wanted to destroy him totally now.

He only hoped in his heart that the physique was a useful one.

[Luck Stealer]

He quickly deployed a technique.

Then the unseen rippling power discharging from his body wrapped around everything in here and to a distance of several thousand feet.

Alex suddenly felt connected to all.

Actually, he was connected to a type of energy called luckforce energy. It was one of the invisible energies that continously emanated from all living things.

This energy actually affected their fortune or more precisely, their luck.

Since he was connected to this energy that came from all living things and gave him the ability to affect reality around them, he would be able to control their fortune or luck. With this energy, he could turn people's luck from good to bad or bad to good.

Then something freaked him out.

This was because he suddenly discovered that he was connected to the exceedingly large, flaming ball of energy. And this wasn't an attack unleashed by him.

While Karen where she stood was completely flabbergasted. She found out that she wasn't linked to her own energy-attack anymore.

Alex had knocked her away and took control over the energy-attack.

But then, Alex felt that it was an effect caused by the luck stealer technique he casted.

'Haha! Such control' He said inwardly.

With a victorious smile and a snap of his finger, the energy-attack decomposed and the energy that constituted it returned to the realmverse.

No amount of words would be able to describe Karen's astonished state at the moment.

Then she tried to send out another attack.

Alex became tired of the battle and so quickly unleashed an attack at her.

"Fortune Burying Fist" He said and punched out.

The instant he shot his fist out at her, a dark mass of energy shot out of it.

But immediately the pitch-black energy erupted from his fist, it vanished and in the next moment it appeared before Karen who couldn't evade on time.

The energy shot into her body and she found out that she couldn't sense any of the energies she cultivated.

She had been reduced to an ordinary mortal at the moment.

Alex who was starting to feel dizzy dashed towards Karen who had a stupefied look in her face. Then when he got to her front, with his body returning to normal, he went to actually hug her and tight at that.
