A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 168: Sees an old face

Boom!

Once the attacks collided, enormous amounts of energies exploded outwards. Also, at the same time, tyrannical waves of energies were released. These waves of energies were powerful that their collective, destructive mights could be likened to the devastating power of many gigantic, exploding stars. The force-waves struck the men and swept them away into the far distance.

Houston didn't relax on his attacks. The instant his attack swept them away, he aimed the fingers of his right hand at them, then five enormously huge pillars of dense, bright blue fire shot out. Once these pillars appeared, they bathed everywhere in their colour, dying everywhere and everything in it blue. There was only dazzling blue for a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers. And as they shot towards the cultivators, they continuously produced heat that would cause small worlds to incinerate to ashes in a flash.

When the cultivators regained their balance, they became exceedingly shocked as they could feel the heat from the far distance they were knocked to by the waves.

They quickly produced enormous attacks that they sent at the pillars. The attacks they sent were actually great risks to their cultivation as they could cause crippling or stagnancy in their cultivation.

Boom!!!

The thousands of attacks collided with the five massive pillars of blue fire elemental energy and exploded, releasing great amounts of colored, tyrannical energies.

The intense, colored lights that they released seemingly dyed everywhere in space in their various colors.

When the attacks collided with Houston's overwhelming attacks and exploded, numerous mighty waves that caused small worlds far away to shake terribly were released. If it where in the worlds such explosions happened, they would have been brought to total ruins.

It was then that the cultivators realized that they shouldn't mess with this person or he could kill all of them with one attack.

His attacks were simply powerful and overpowering. They lowered their weapons and returned it to their spatial rings

Just then, a voice rang out in each of their minds "Go back to the worlds you came from, don't cause trouble here."

That was Houston's voice which boomed in their minds like thunder.

When he saw their actions, he too ceased fire and communicated to them telepathically, using transforce energy which was also called mind-transmission energy.

They nodded their heads and very quickly, they vanished from where they were.

Houston only repelled them. He couldn't kill them as they would all have one Ancient or two from the establishments they were from. He was an Ancient too, but he wouldn't be able to fight more than three at his best, using powerful weapons. Then talk more of thousands. So it was wise to chase them back with the reason that they shouldn't cause trouble in the mortal world.

When they vanished, Houston vanished too.

The cultivators that vanished appeared where the Saint stage cultivators that came from their organizations were. And before the curious Saint stage cultivators could ask them anything, they said 'Let's leave first, you would know more when we get to the organization"

Then they produced spatial vehicles from their spatial rings which they all stepped into. Not long, the ultivehicles produced a spatial power which manifested as ripples that caused space to distort. As soon as the ripples appeared as a result of the deployment of their spatial displacement power, the ultivehicles vanished, appearing in other worlds; Greatverses, Oververses and Underverses, and then moved on to the organizations or establishments they came from.

When they left, Houston vanished too, appearing in his mansion. But he didn't have a clue where the temple teleported to. However, he knew that the temple would protect Alex from harm. Also, it would return him from where it vanished to as it only teleported to a great distance to evade the powerful, vast-range, field-scanning senses of the cultivators that were chasing it many moments ago.

He was right.

Many moments later, the temple vanished from the state in the continent it surfaced in and reappeared at a random place in Alex's state.

Then it brought Alex out of the temple and shot into his mom's spatial ring.

When Alex appeared, he quickly tried leaving the place where he was.

Where Alex was in at the time was a large jungle. That was where the temple-spirit returned him to, a random place very far away from where it was initially.

When he left the jungle and walked for about an hour, he came across a small village that was far in the distance. He saw it using his powerful vision. He would have continued walking, but something caught his attention.

He saw four aggressive-looking, earth adept stage cultivators. They were in the peak phase. But that wasn't what caught Alex's attention. It was the enticing figure of a beautiful, young lady who reminded him of someone, and when he saw the face of this person that caught his attention, his mind couldn't help but lit up like a candle, even a cold windstorm wouldn't prevent this candle from burning. At the moment, Alex's eyes was full of astonishment. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He looked intently at that face which he had always yearned for and saw in it, a smile that would reduce the beauty of a starry, night sky, and in it were eyes that if one looked into it, one would appear in a world full of colorful roses; a world full of beauty.

"Olivia" Alex muttered subconsciously.

"B-But what's she doing here?" He asked inwardly.

Then he looked away from her to the men in front of her.

"What are those men doing in front of her? What do they want?" He thought.

Then he waited to see what was going on.

"Do you think you can fight the organization we came from? It's one established by a great saint. I will advise you to do as you were told or you would regret it!" One of the three earth stage cultivators said.

"Oh. I am scared. But do you know who I am? Do you know where I am from? You just do anything stupid and you shall have your heads severed from your necks and fed to the beasts of the wildernesses. Anyways, you have said enough and I have heard you. It's time to leave" Olivia said coldly.

"Haha!" One of the three earth adept stage cultivators laughed. Then he continued "Of course, we know who you are. You are the popular, Great Holy Daughter of the Immovable Mountain academy. One of their grand geniuses. It's an extreme surprise that you are here. Let me guess, you are out for adventure too, right? To hone your battle and life experiences? Haha! Let me tell you something, you are all alone in this place. Although you are a genius and you are in the peak-phase, earth adept stage and study some perverse, fire and earth element duality methodologies, you are just one person. Can one person go against an organization? You will only die or worse, become a sex puppet for my six masters. Guys, let's leave this foolish bitch to continue thinking she's important and powerful. She is doomed already"

Then they turned around and left.

While the man was talking, Olivia's eyes had turned cold and killing intent began to erupt from them. Anyway, she didn't mind them as she turned around to go back to the crowd of people behind her who now had the look of gloominess in their faces.

"It's alright. You can return to your huts. I have threatened them with my identity. I don't think they would come back here." She said, trying to calm the people whose face seemed pale white from intense fear and worry.

Alex was awed and happy. Then he wanted to go meet her, but he decided against it since doing so would make him feel highly embarrassed of himself as he was deeply ashamed of his cultivation level.

He was both in the peak-phase condensation stage and mid-phase condensation stage because of the varying levels of the myriad energies he cultivated. While she was in the half-step sky lord stage. They were now worlds apart. And from the way things looked to him, it seemed she had long forgotten about him. Since he never appeared, she would have moved on.

Then he decided to leave but with unhappiness in his heart. He guessed it was time to close her chapter in his life. So he continued walking without looking back. An aura of dejection could be noticed around his figure.

Alex moved away because there was no point in seeing her again. They had only met for a day and it has been many months now. So he believed she would have long forgotten about him and focus on other things that are far important. Besides, it was not like they were romantically attached to each other. Then, she was only impressed with him because of his great battle proficiency.

Alex could have waited to help her, but she was the Great Holy Daughter of the Immovable Mountain academy. If she was ever in a form of trouble that she wouldn't be able to handle, she would surely have a way to signal the instructors of the academy. So his help wouldn't be needed. Besides, his cultivation level was far lower to hers, she might look at him with disdain. What help would he be able to render with his lower cultivation level. Jumping in there to provide assistance would only bring about mockery for himself.

Just before he could move very far, he heard bloodcurdling screeches in the far distance. Then he turned his head to see what those were. When he did so, he saw large, winged beasts in the air. There were about six of them. And on these beasts were dozens of humans.

The beasts when it arrived a few meters in front of the village lowered to the ground and the people on top it jumped off it to the ground.

There were three expensively robed men who were at the front of these people, while the others walked behind them. The people at the back of these three men gazed at their backs with reverence in their eyes.

The three men at the front were deputies of three of the six masters that presided over the organization they were all from. These men were in the sky lord state and aura of arrogance and balefulness emitted from them. One would know that these men had done a lot of bad things in the past because of the ominousness radiating from them.
