A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 212: Looking for bodies

When the calamitous events which was caused by the power of destruction that Alex released from the true god-eyes of grand destruction stopped, silence and absolute stillness returned to the area. However, the land was now a far cry to what it formerly was. Since the sound waves exuded a great pressure that would give anyone the feeling that a seemingly larger, invisible world was pressing hard against the vast area of land here, the earth explosively cracked, and then deeply sundered in thousands of places, resulting in large fissures and terrorizingly deep chasms. Also, the buildings of the organization which once stood tall and mighty had vanished. What could be seen at the spots that they formerly were, were craters. Deep ones. It was simply a sight that gave the feeling of complete ruination. It was like an angry god released his wrath upon this region. 

Then in some deep pits that were very far away from each other could be seen Alex, Jared and Liam. They were badly injured as parts of their bodies, such as their limbs, had been completely broken away. Especially Jared, he was the most affected. His legs and arms had shattered into pieces, and his chest had caved in. While large portions of the skin covering his entire delicate organs had been wickedly ripped away to reveal many of his organs and bones that had been ground into mush and powder respectively. As for Liam who was able to quickly produce nearly a hundred defensive treasure-artifacts to protect his body from the incoming devastating sound waves, was slightly spared from death by instant disintegration, and from the extreme-degree physical injuries that the pressure coming from the sound waves could possibly inflict him if it struck him. As for Alex, the injuries that he sustained resulted from the destruction amplification force-field that surfaced upon releasing just a fraction of the power of destruction of the True God-eyes of grand destruction.

Actually, Liam and Jared were supposed to reduce into nothing because of the immense destructive power that the sound wave-attack that Alex unleashed radiated, just like their minions whose bodies couldn't be found anywhere as they had turned into bits that couldn't be seen with the naked eyes, except with the use of magnifying lenses. But because they were high-rank cultivators and could sense the alarming power of the sphere when it first appeared, they abruptly darted away, just before Alex could unleash the attack that he summoned the jet-black sphere of power for. Although they were still caught up in the vast aura of destructive power that the obliterating sound waves emanated, however, the tremendous destroying aura that encompassed them was weak as they had flown very far at an insane speed into a random direction. They did this with the thought that if they weren't too deep or at the center of the aura, they shouldn't be annihilated by the aura or pressure continuously erupting from it.

Not long, Alex's eyes snapped open.

Once he regained consciousness, great pain racked his entire body.

With continuous muffled groans as he endured the intensely excruciating pain that welcomed him upon gaining awareness by gnashing his teeth, he abruptly produced many peerless-grade healing pills from his dad's spatial necklace.

With flashes of resplendent light, some colored pills that emitted strongly perceptible power of regeneration in the form of waves that caused small volume of air to be pushed away and creating a small, vacuumed atmospheric region in the process, appeared in front of him in the air.

He had actually produced several powerful, high-grade regeneration pills that he wanted to swallow. He did so to heal rapidly as he couldn't tell if Jared and Liam had been totally destroyed by the overbearing attack that he sent out, or they were just badly damaged and knocked unconscious, and would regain consciousness anytime soon.

Once the pills appeared, he quickly swallowed them. Then they turned into large amounts of healforce energy that rushed like raging tidal currents, due to their quantities, to every area of his body, permeating every inch of his cell and invoking instantaneous bodily regeneration. The amount of healing-energy in his body was too much that it made him swell like a blown balloon and therefore, causing him more intense pain in the process. However, the pain only appeared for an instant as it vanished as quickly as it surfaced, then in the next instant, all the areas of his body that were ripped away by the power of destruction emanating from the dark-black sphere that appeared, healed at an ungodly perverse rate. Very quickly, he was whole again.

Then he shot out the deep hole that he was in to the earth surface using an enormous stream of fire that shot off his entire lower body at an astonishing rate. He was simply like a fuel-burning transportation shuttle because of the immense stream of flame that he rapidly, continuously discharged from his body. 

Then like a rocket, shooting very fast into the air at an unbelievable speed, he appeared on the surface of the earth. He then looked into the distance using his enhanced vision to search for two fearsome people. But he saw no one floating in the air or flying towards him. Then he made a guess that either Liam and Jared have both been destroyed by the attack, or that their bodies had been badly damaged by the terrifying, god-slaying pressure that emanated from the sound waves which carried a tremendous devastating might, and were possibly healing within one of the hundreds of large holes around him.

He would want to be sure that they were both dead as he couldn't leave his enemies alive, but there was absolutely no way that he could look into the hundreds of holes that surrounded him at once. It would be a greatly laborious thing to do. However, he still tried to do so.

Death to all enemies... That was his conviction. 

Then sending strengthforce energy to his leg muscles, and activating the far-seeing ability of the Heavenly Mystery Revealment eye, he began to dash very quickly into the distance, along the way that the deep holes were made into. He had begun to search for them, for their dead bodies. And if they weren't dead, he would complete his slaying mission by beheading them. Besides, another reason why he wanted to search for their bodies was because he needed to do one very important thing. And that was to take something from Jared which would possibly transform him and upgrade his abilities. He needed the information that Jared had. And this was the information to that unknown and unmapped land. Even if Jared was dead, Alex was sure that there would be a way to extract the information that was in his memory.

When Alex produced the clap that brought about the apocalypse-like events, Olivia who was within the palace, which had shot very far away in another direction, to where it wouldn't be affected by the aura and the pressure that would emit from the attack that Alex was about to send out, and still concealing itself in that same layer of void, became exceedingly shocked.

'So he possessed such a tremendous destructive power. Although he told me about it, I never knew that it was this powerful. No wonder he was confident about taking down the organization. Even if he couldn't beat them, he could just simply use the apocalyptic power on them and end everything fast. Just damn. I wish I had a power like that on me too' Olivia uttered within.

She remained shocked by what she saw that she continually replayed in her head all the events that took place after he unleashed the attack.

She thought that this was the core of power that Alex said he had. But she wouldn't know that she was very wrong about her thought. This was no core of divine power, it was one of the most powerful, peerless treasure-weapon in the world. And as well, the powerful eye-organ of a primordial expert, which could unleash the true divine power of destruction. The sphere that she saw Alex produce, which was to enhance the destructive capability of his attack, was one of the function of the treasure-weapon contained in the eyes. Not an ability of the eyes. So she thought that the sphere was the divine power he was talking about.

Then with glittering eyes, she asked into the air as she couldn't see the palace-spirit "What's he doing now?"

"Perhaps searching for the bodies of the founders of the organization. If their bodies have been totally destroyed, only then would Alex come back into the palace." The palace-spirit said confidently. Then it continued "I feel that he also wants to know the region that Jared went to, and was mysteriously transported to that strange and exotic world"

"Hmm." Olivia muttered.

Then she asked "But why did he suddenly use the core of divine power that he possessed? He seemed to be controlling the battle field to an extent"

She was actually enjoying the battle, so she couldn't help but ask that question. 

"Well... No one can really tell what goes on in the mind of that boy. But he would surely have a reason for doing so."

Then it spoke further after talking a slight pause.

"Perhaps he just wanted to end the fight and get what he wanted from Jared. But I believe that the attack which he released wasn't for the heaven adept stage and Saint stage cultivators. It was for Jared and his uncle. It was probably a surprise attack as there would be no way that he would be able to defeat them in battle. Besides, he was going to face large numbers of heaven adept stage and saint stage cultivators. Therefore, no matter what he would do, and no matter how exceptional his battle-power and fighting skills are, he could simply be wasted by them who wouldn't give him breathing space, and could be cunning or mischievous in their battling ways. They would definitely not enter a clean and virtuous fight with him. They would rather use cheap and underhanded means to quickly take him down. And as for Alex, after probably fighting and killing to his fill, he just simply went on to exterminate all of them, using a tremendously powerful attack that they wouldn't expect, and wouldn't be able guard against on time."

Olivia nodded her head with a glow of comprehension in her eyes.

The palace-spirit was simply a wise ancient sage, able to tell possibly correct things due to the great wisdom and experience that it possessed.

Then she continued to watch Alex from the screen... with adoration, love and awe in her beautiful and brightly sparkling eyes.
