A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Once Alex thought that, he suddenly dashed towards the place the guards floated above.

Seeing Alex run towards them at a tremendous speed, the guards quickly braced themselves and shot powerful energy-attacks at him. They didn't want him to approach them as they had recognized his ability; he was the type that could battle cultivators who are a rank above him. So, they quickly fired attacks at him to stop him in his tracks before he could reach where they were, or it could result in danger for them.

With his eyes permeated with speedforce energy, which then slowed down the speed of the attacks to the barest minimum in his vision, Alex clenched his hands into a fist and sent them at the attacks coming his way.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!...

Numerous loud bang sounds rang out as his fist smashed hard into the attacks, abruptly turning them into hundreds of smithereens which reverted to wisps of energy that moved back into the realmverse. Also, when his fist contacted the energy-attacks, shattering them into bits, multiple waves of high destructive power erupted from the point of their impacts and spread into the far distance. The damaging power of the waves was so high that the beasts carriages were attached to either sustained many fatal injuries or simply exploded into bits, while the carriages themselves which were made out of some metal dented inwardly by many feet and were blown away by the powerful gusts of air that accompanied the highly destructive waves.

But despite the tyrannical waves that appeared from the explosion of the energy-attacks into bits upon contact with Alex's fist, he just couldn't be stopped in his tracks. He was like a juggernaut; a being that once it's motion, nothing can stop it except by it own will power.

Then when Alex got to the area that the guards floated above, he bent his legs a bit and shot himself into the air towards them.

The guards who were floating at a height of thirty feet above the ground saw how Alex shot up towards them and still blazed past them to a height of seventy feet above the ground.

Everyone saw this spectacle and couldn't help but be shocked, including Layla who was tremendously amazed by Alex's jumping power. That was simply the height a cultivator at the Saint stage could achieve. But now, Alex, a cultivator at the initial-phase, Earth Adept stage had also achieved that kind of height too.

However, what they didn't know was that Alex enhanced his jump using his augmented strengthforce energy.

In the past, Alex could only achieve a height of sixty feet from his jump using strengthforce energy. But now, since he had broken through into the Earth Adept stage (Core Formation stage), his strengthforce energy which had always been a quasi-Heaven Adept rank energy because of numerous slivers of a particular originforce energy in it structure, directly entered into the Quasi-Saint rank, since it form had transformed from the 'liquid phase' to the 'solid phase' (Core), gaining tremendously in quality (density) and quantity which upped the amount of power that it could produce. Therefore, since his strength-augmenting realm-energy had immensely upgraded qualitatively and quantitatively, Alex could achieve the height of seventy feet and even much more if he put more power into his leap.

Then when Alex got to that height in the air, his body turned upside down in the air to face the guards.

Once his body upturned in the air to face them, Alex aimed his left palm at the guards who hadn't recovered from the shock given to them by the height that he reached. Then immediately he did so; aiming his left hand at them, he employed a light-based battle-technique called 'Thousand Light Spears of the Supreme Light Monarch'. Then suddenly, tremendous amount of radiantforce energy bursted out from his hands like a raging flood towards the guards which then rapidly partitioned into a thousand parts that abruptly condensed and shaped into a thousand huge spears that glowed in all the colors one could think of.

So, emitting intense glaring light that could burn the retina of one's eyes and dying the earth below and everything in it in all the colors that it produced, the thousand spear-shaped attacks that he generated from his Radiance world-energy shot at insane speeds towards the guards who were visually incapacitated by the tremendous amounts of retina-burning, thousand-colored lights entering their eyes.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

However, before the solid spears of radiantforce energy could impale each and everyone of the guards in many places in their bodies, a powerful wave of energy was suddenly released which then shattered the attacks that Alex unleashed into millions of tiny, multi-colored fragments of condensed Radiance energy in an instant. Therefore, the lives of the guards were spared by the wave of energy that was suddenly produced. It was actually one of the numerous experts in the that released that devastating energy wave. 

Alex gave a smile when this happened, his plan was working.

Although he had a plan of killing the guards, he also however wanted to show how powerful he was so that many high-level cultivation experts would appear. And he could see that he had successfully done so. The powerful attack that he released which produced far-reaching, strongly glaring light of seemingly infinite colors had successfully attracted many more powerful senior cultivators over who then began to look at him with astonishing gazes in their eyes because of the amount of marveling power of Luminance that he put out.

At this point in time, Alex whose legs were permeated with strengthforce energy and radiated a golden sheen landed back to the earth from his jump with a lot of force. Then if one looked at where he landed, a gigantic web-like crack could be seen there. It was like something immensely heavy had landed there from a great altitude in the sky, hugely and deeply cracking the earth where it landed in a web-like pattern.

Alex actually forcefully landed from his jump. His intention was to destroy the property of the City Lord as he now held him in total disgust and irritation in his mind. And he had also decided within himself that he was going to slay this City Lord and appoint someone from his organization to be the City Lord of this city; that's when he becomes quite powerful to be able to contend with him.
