A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Alex, since he was now surrounded by hundreds of Saint stage cultivators developed a tactical approach to this.

As they looked at him coldly and with perplexity in their eyes, their brows suddenly furrowed as their eyes now began to give off strong hints of shock and amazement.

Alex at the moment had transformed again. This time, by focusing on the thought of 'Unmatched Evasion', and using his emotions of rage as a catalyst, he was able to produce a physique that was related to his thought. And the name of the physique was 'Illusionary Speedburst Empyrean Firmament Movement Physique'. Then employing one of the many evasion methods of the physique called 'Shadowless Blur Evasion Method', he shot away from the six hundred saint stage cultivators.

Alex was so fast that his speed was hundred times the speed of a peak saint stage cultivator. Very quickly, he had crossed a large distance that he even disappeared from their visions.

"What?!"

The Saint stage cultivators who weren't expecting Alex to do this exclaimed loudly in deep shock.

"After him! Don't let him escape!"

One of the Saint stage cultivators hurriedly said, then the rest came out of their shocked states and tried to chase after Alex, employing the best movement methods known to them.

But while they were about to do this, a Saint stage cultivator suddenly unleashed a type of high-level cultivation power; the power didn't belong to the cultivation stage that he was in. Everyone of them could know this because of the frightening aura it put out using their cultivation percipience ability

As soon as he produced that power, a large, blue-colored disc, composed from speedforce energy appeared below the feet of this cultivator.

That was the power the Saint stage cultivator unleashed.

The power of Speed!

But it was a power that belonged to an higher-stage cultivation expert. It was probably prepared for him by the powerful cultivators from the family or organization he came from to escape from danger or from a deadly chase. But now, he had deployed that power to chase after Alex.

Once the disc materialized below his feet, and now emitting the power of speed which permeated his body, it affected his perception of everything. His awareness of the movement-velocity of everything around him heightened to an extreme degree. He could now see in ultra-slow motion.

After being amazed by the power for sometime, the saint stage cultivator said "Go!"

Then the disc, like it was sentient, shot forward into the distance at a speed that was ten thousand times the speed of sound.

The saint stage cultivator was so supposed to reduce to nothing for moving at such a speed that was too extreme for his cultivation stage, but the disc that he was on produced an invisible force field that shielded him from the effect of moving at such a tremendously-high speed.

So being protected from intense air friction, he blazed through the air without any form of worry.

In the next instant, he met up with Alex who was flying in a straight line, trying his best to give a really great gap between himself and them so he could have enough time to think of what to do next.

Alex's eyes narrowed when one of the Saint stage cultivators appeared directly behind him like he had teleported. Then he stopped and turned to look at this person who was now looking at him with haughtiness and a mocking smirk. And at this moment, Alex was starting to feel slight dizziness and pain.

Not wasting time as he knew a battle was required for him to continue onward, The Purifier's sword appeared in his hand which he grasped tightly. Then he shot towards the Saint stage cultivator on the floating, blue-colored, movement disc of speed-acceleration energy.

Alex's aim was to fly speedily towards the Saint stage cultivator and slash him apart using The Purifier's sword, but he didn't know that his speed was just too slow in the Saint stage cultivator's sight.

Before Alex could even move an inch towards him, the saint stage cultivator abruptly sent out an energy attack at Alex.

Bang!

Alex was struck by it and was knocked heavily away that he lost control of the flight ability the physique gave him and plummeted to the ground from that altitude.

Boom!

He landed to the ground very hard and coughed out blood from his impact with the hard earth.

Right now, he was struck by extreme dizziness.

Alex couldn't dodge the attack or respond in time to it as the attack was super-fast. It speed was augmented to the extreme by the power of speed emanating from the disc, making it impossible for Alex to try to block it or evade it.

The robe he wore protected him from the damaging power of the attack, but because he crashed into the earth from that altitude with his back, the air in his lungs was forcefully expelled from it, while blood spouted from his mouth due to the shock transmitted to his body from the heavy impact with the solid ground.

The disc lowered to float some feet above Alex who was on the ground with his back in a small crater he made into the earth from his high-altitude plummet.

Now looking at Alex, the Saint stage cultivator asked in a curious tone "His did you get into this place?"

Alex only ignored him and stood to his feet. Then suddenly, a constraining force appeared and acted on his body. Alex now felt as if he was bound up in a shackle that was wrapped over his body a hundred times. If not that had had a tough body, he would have exploded into mist of blood.

The Saint stage cultivator put out this amount of suppressive force to compel Alex to tell him the process by which he was able to enter this place.

He believed that some treasure was what Alex used in gaining a successful, stealth entrance into the legacy acquisition battle-ground they were on. And that if he could get it, he would be able to use it to enter every legacy place in the realmverse.

Thinking of this made him laugh inwardly. But he couldn't help but be amazed by Alex's luck. That was a golden, custom-made, tremendous luck Alex had, for him to be able to acquire such treasure.

"Tell me how you did it or you will die!" The Saint stage cultivator demanded in a threatening tone.

Alex simply ignored him again.

It was like the Saint stage cultivator before him was nonexistent.

Then the invisible force acting on him increased in power, causing Alex to scream out in pain and fury.

"That's it!" Alex said coldly and with unbridled killing intent in his eyes.

Then he activated the Blackstar Ominous Flameburst array contained in a pocket dimension compressed into the robe he wore.

Upon activation, the grey robe glowed in a black light and gave out a heat that would turn tons of thick, solid steel into molten steel in an instant. Then in the next second, a massive burst of black-colored flame discharged from the robe and swept out with an astonishingly powerful, concussive-like shattering force into the far distance in all directions.

Carrying a heat that was more than seventy thousand degree celsius and moving with a kinetic force that would cause mountains to shatter into bits, the earth directly below it, and for a thousand feet cracked from the immense destructive force acting on it. Also, the large area of earth affected by the devastating force also turned into molten magma because of the vast-degree temperature emanating from the tremendous burst of black flame.

The Saint stage cultivator who was directly in front of Alex once he noticed the abrupt, astronomical increase in temperature of his surrounding quickly shot away. If he were half a second late, the fast-moving, gigantic burst of exceedingly-hot fire would engulf him and reduce him to nothing. He would simply vanish into thin air.

Seeing that the Saint stage cultivator had shot far away for fear of his life, Alex who was enclosed in a resplendent globe of energy that shielded him from the super-inferno burst that was discharged by the offense-purpose, flame-releasing array of his robe quickly put pills into his mouth.

Then after having his soul refreshed and gaining some energy, he quickly focused on a thought and produced a flight-purpose physique.

When he transformed, he shot away before the others would arrive.

More than forty seconds later, Alex stopped at a place and reversed his transformation. Then he sent his awareness into the Azure Beastsman's treasure palace.

"Palace spirit, please bring me into the palace hall"

Immediately he said this, the Azure Beastsman palace shot out from his mom's spatial ring and produced a spatial transference power.

Space warped around Alex and he vanished from the spot he stood at and appeared in the hall of the palace.

Then the Azure Beastsman palace also vanished from the spot in space it floated in. Actually, it was still there. It only entered another spatial layer to conceal itself from the Saint stage cultivators.

Once Alex appeared in the palace, he gave a 'Whew!' sound as he collapsed to the ground and remained there, stretching himself.

"Damn it! All these bastards have one core of power or the other given to them by powerful experts from the family or organization they are from. Now, how to beat these bastards who are doing their stupid best to search for me? Damn! Just damn! Beating them by my power is going to be impossible. I can't beat these assholes. It would be tremendously difficult for me. Or do I forget about the legacy? Nah, I can't do that. But how would I get it now that they are all after me? Can I use treasures to solve this?" Alex thought.

Then he shook his head. He couldn't go with that.

The aura of power that would be produced by the advanced weapons for higher-stage cultivation experts would simply tear him apart before even the legacy-bestowing spirit would be able to save him.

"Young Master, I have observed your abilities and now understand it. There is something I can help you with" A feminine voice suddenly rang in Alex's mind. This was the voice of Ashbolt, the artifact-spirit of the danger-signaling treasure in the region between Alex's brows.
