A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Seeing how the beasts easily withstood all his attacks, Alex furrowed his brows. Then he immediately deployed another attacking technique called 'Godly Tyrant Annihilation Nine-Layered Oceanic Wave strikes'

Upon employing this battle method of the physique, nine rings of strongly pulsing power which glowed brilliantly in an iridescent color of light and abruptly caused the appearances of nine massive rings of water at different parts of the lake suddenly appeared around Alex's transformed body. And as soon as these surfaced, they quickly swept out with a mighty disintegrating force and grew rapidly in size as they raged into the distance in all directions. Same with the nine massive solid rings of water that had surfaced at different parts of the lake. They also shot out out like disc-shaped cannons at the same time that the glowing, radiant rings of power around Alex's body swept out in all directions. And as they shot out at shocking velocities where it would not take them more than a few seconds to cross an enormous distance of a thousand feet, they revolved at a great speed that they caused gigantic maelstroms to surface which also accompanied them as they moved towards the beasts.

Bang!

Boom!

Bang!

Bang!...

Several explosive sounds rang out in the massive lake while the water of the lake greatly churned that it even exploded out of the lake in great volumes to form a massive, mushroom-shaped cloud of mist in the air at a great altitude which then slowly dispersed. While the earth around the lake developed a gigantic web-like crack around it which spread into the far distance like they were furious tentacles of some monsters. The effect of Alex's powerful Saint-tier attacks could simply be likened to when thousands of colossal bombs were dropped into the lake to kill all aquatic creatures in it.

However, his attacks only caused a slight damage to the beasts in the lake who looked at Alex with astonishment in the eyes which shone with awareness and intelligence.

They were tremendously surprised by the destructive power of the attacks that he put out. Also, firstly before he started to battle them, he was at the initial-phase, Earth Adept stage. But he transformed and directly entered the Saint stage which was impossible by any Energy Cultivator to do so smoothly and perfectly. They couldn't help but wonder how he was able to do it. Although they were impressed by his battle and transformation powers, but because he killed their kinsmen, he had to be annihilated.

Also, one would be surprised that Alex was able to last more than a minute in his transformed state. But one shouldn't forget that he had cultivated his soul which will fuel any of the physiques that he might evoke to a certain stage. So, with the possession of sixty Soul-Beings that were matchless in size and soul-power at the soul cultivation stage that he reached, only one of the profound Soul-Entities in his soul-dwelling region was powerful enough to continually power him in his transformed state for a long time before it would be drained dry of the soul-power that it could produce.

Layla who was watching everything from within the palace saw how Alex fought in his new state. Then her eyes glowed in great amazement.

'So he still has a hidden stronger power? Oh my! No wonder he's so confident of himself. Look at him fighting beasts at the Great Saint rank without fear in his eyes. Is that how he was able to escape from those mighty cultivators that chased after him for his treasured possessions? Hmm! But if he's this powerful at the cultivation stage that he is at, what about his uncle? He might be many times stronger than having the strength of ten or twenty cultivation academies combined that was rumored in the state.' Layla said within.

Then her eyes glowed as she stated further 'I am really happy with myself for the decision that I made. I am truly fortunate. Although I have a serious cultivation defect that would totally inhibit me from attaining great power, the realmverse still brought a great fortune my way. I wasn't forgotten in my terrible wails and sorrowful woes. It brought a great support for me. Now, when I become his wife, no one would dare look down on me. Besides, who knows if I would gain some benefit from engaging in copulation-cultivation with him? I hope so too'

Although she wasn't too familiar with the Palace-spirit, but seeing how a powerful ancient being was nice to her, seeming like it had approved of her status as his wife, she decided to speak with it.

"Senior, are you here?" She asked.

"Sure! In this palace, I am omnipresent. I am everywhere. So, young one, do you have a question to ask me?" The Palace-spirit said and then questioned.

"Not really. I just wanted to thank you for giving me this opportunity to understand more of Alex's strength. Now that I know more of his combat skills and battle power, I wouldn't try to get in his way again. I would only do so if it's necessary." Layla said with utmost sincerity and respect in her tone.

"Haha!" The Palace-spirit laughed.

"You are welcome. But you don't need to thank me for anything I may do for you next time. I did that for you are my master's wife. So, it's my responsibility and obligation to do so." The Palace-spirit said.

Layla was exceedingly shocked by something that the Palace-spirit said. Then she proceeded to ask it.

"Senior, you just called Alex your master. But senior should be proud since he hasn't reached your cultivation stage. Don't mind me, I am only surprised that you called him your master." She said.

Haha!

The Palace-spirit grinned again.

"Well, he hasn't reached a cultivation stage for me to call him my master. But with all that I have seen, I can call him my master. However, I don't want to tell him anything about that yet so he wouldn't become too prideful and arrogant when dealing with people around him." It said.

"Oh! Okay senior. I perfectly understand you" Layla said. But her heart was blooming with unbounded happiness. Since Alex was the master of this being, while she was one of his mistresses, it was just a matter of time before the Palace-spirit would listen to her and do things that she may ask of it. This caused her great delight and she couldn't help but thank the realmverse for the tremendous, unmatched fortune that it blessed her with.

At the moment, she felt that all that were happening to her was a dream which she would never ever want to wake up from. A dream that she knew she didn't deserve in any way. Now, if nothing happened to Alex on the way, and he got much more stronger with the momentum that he was moving with, he would ascend to higher worlds. And when he did, and since he would possess great strength to survive in any region in those higher worlds, he would bring all his wives along with him. And this was something that she would never dream about because she was born in this world. But meeting Alex and engaging with him, her mindset had changed. Now, she could dream much more. And even hope to become stronger too so she wouldn't become a liability for him. Starting with the acquisition of the expert's legacy they were at this lake for, her journey to become a powerful expert was being slowly realized.

She smiled within when she thought of all this. Then she continued to look at Alex as he engaged the furious beasts in battle.
