A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 213: Liam wakes

As Alex searched for them, Liam's eyes suddenly snapped open where he was. Then he looked at himself and saw how badly damaged his body was. Anger blazed in his heart and he roared wrathfully to the sky.

With a summoning thought in the next moment, a good-quality pill appeared before him. It had shot out of his spatial ring. Once it appeared, he took it and swallowed it. This then turned into healforce energy that began to circulate in his entire body, bringing regeneration to his body at a decent speed. However, because of his stage which was the Saint Emperor stage, his body's healing ability kicked up, then he began to heal very quickly.

When Jared first roared to the sky in an infuriated manner, Alex's heart could almost jump out of his chest. His eyes then shone with fear. How was he going to beat Liam who was a Saint Emperor stage expert? Besides, from his roar, he could perceive a great sense of retribution in it. Liam would want to shatter him into pieces with an earth-breaking slap.

Liam, who was healing at a rapid rate within the crater that he unconsciously fell down into when he was acted upon by the invisible pressure that could seemingly crush continents, which radiated from the sound wave, abruptly flew back into the sky.

Although his body was racked with pains as he took into the sky, but because of his intense anger, he was numb to it. He didn't feel the excruciating pain that racked his body as anger overclouded his senses.

Then gazing wickedly at Alex at the high altitude that he floated at, he suddenly raised an arm and aimed it at Alex.

Suddenly, a vast unseen power emanated from that hand and swept at high speed towards Alex who was very far in the distance, about a thousand and hundred feet away. There was this much gap between them as Liam had taken off at a tremendous speed into the distance to evade the crushing pressure that emanated from the sound-attack.

When Liam appeared at that altitude, before he could aim his palm at Alex and produce the formless power that he sent towards him, Alex quickly expelled an enormous amount of flame from his entire lower body. Then this produced a great propulsive force that shot him straight into the sky, thereby evading the unseen power that was raging towards him to engulf him.

Then at the high altitude that he had reached, and using his pyroforce energy which continuously ejected from his body as a massive stream of flame to surprisingly support his levitation in the air, he sent a sliver of his perception into his dad's spatial necklace. As soon as he did so, the pattern on his chest flashed a resplendent light, then an object appeared which then rapidly shot into the sky.

The instant that it reached the sky, it transformed into a massive layer that stretched into the far distance, for about thousands of feet. Once it turned into this layer, it hid the large clouds in the sky, and even blocked off rays coming from the sun. Actually, it had covered the sky in this region, becoming the new sky. Except that it wasn't sky blue as that was the usual color of the sky. Instead, it consisted of many colors that radiated as luminescence from it. And this multicolored brilliance emanating from it dyed the earth and everything on it in their different colors.

Liam was bedazzled by this.

What a treasure! 

He was simply deeply fascinated. 

Then with an expression of intense mockery in his eyes, he waited to see what Alex was about to do.

The treasure that Alex just produced, which was called 'Thunderous Sky', was one of the peerless-grade, earth-rank treasures that he got from the vast room in the Silver-Violet Sword Banisher's temple, where more than hundreds of millions of earth-grade treasure-artifacts and treasure-weapons were stored.

But being an earth-grade treasure, it would make one to seriously wonder what he wanted to do with it. Same with Liam who had an expression of unbridled mockery in his face, and the palace-spirit, who with it knowledge and wisdom couldn't really, exactly guess or fathom what Alex was about to do. It was simply was out of accurate speculations or definite deductions. This was because the earth-rank treasure should only be able to create earth-tier attacks. And such attacks would be like trying to tickle Liam as he was in the Saint emperor stage. The attack wouldn't cause him to flinch. He would just keep floating there and withstand the attacks that struck him with his body alone. So this kept it wondering what Alex was about to do with it. 

Anyways, it was at alert, fully observing Liam's motions. All it attention had now been placed on Liam, and on the aura of power emanating from his body. Once it notices him trying to do anything that could seriously harm Alex or cause his death, it would instantly teleport Alex into the palace, and then Liam too. Surprised? Since it was a sentient control-entity of the treasure-palace, and had gained some of it energy, it could use it to deploy and power the massive, energy-shooting cannon-weapons planted in the palace which had ran out of energystones. Therefore, it would make use of the control-ability that it possessed to utilize the planted, gigantic offensive weapons, and then power them with the energy that he had gradually regained to fight Liam, within the city-sized battle hall that it would teleport him to. It was going to do this just so it could slay Liam, and prevent an hidden problem for Alex as he grows mature. 

As soon as Alex produced the treasure-weapon which was in the form of a sky, and would discharge earth-tier, lightning bolt-attacks, in the next second, his body began to emit three pulses of power. He had actually summoned three saint-tier physiques. Using the intense anger that had always remained buried deep in his heart, he stimulated the physique-evocation realm-energy to produce three powerful physiques.

Liam was just too far away from Alex, or he would have being shocked again, and then would quickly, decisively launch several immense and powerful attacks at Alex, with the thought of killing him and preventing any unfortunate, unexpected incident from happening.

After his body burst out three auras of power which would match that of peak-phase, Saint stage cultivators, his body abruptly transformed.

When the air-churning pulses of saint-level power began to emit from his body, the peerless-grade, earth-rank, full body armor that he wore glowed exceedingly bright for an instant, then thousands of cracks appeared all over it surface in a second before exploding into many small fragments, revealing the cloth that Alex wore before covering himself with the suit of armor. And as soon as the armor shattered explosively into millions of bits, rapid transformations that took only a few seconds to take place occurred on his body.

At the moment, behind Alex's back was a pair of large, violet-colored wings that each spanned thirty feet wide. But these wings weren't made from flesh and bones. Instead, they were condensed out of a large amount of violet electricity that exuded in astounding amount from his body, giving the feeling that his body was being swallowed up by a formless, monstrous creature of violet lightning that had shot out from within him. 

However, the colossal wings that had sprouted from his back which were solidly formed from large quantities of lightniforce energy, or electroforce energy which was it alternate name in this realmverse, looked very corporeal as they began to lustre like real, polished violet metal. Then due to it dense crystalline appearance and metal-like lustrousness, it gave the feeling of unparalleled solidness and extreme-degree imperviousness. It simply looked extremely tough to break, talk more of shatter. However, despite it seemingly super-tough appearance, it was impossibly flexible. Then as they began to surprisingly flap like true wings at his back, tremendous bursts of violet lightning, which were gigantic, explosively fast streams of crackling, violet-colored electricity, shot outwards from them with each flap that they made. 

But that was not all about Alex's near-instant transformation. 

The large amount of violet lightning that erupted from his body like he was a geyser of electricity, engulfed his body, then formed into a massive and solid lightning armor on his entire body that had hundreds of spikes, with glittering tips like actual spearheads, jut out from it. The lightniforce energy that gushed out from his body excessively and unstoppably had actually condensed into a spiked armor of electricity that caused terrifying peals of thunder to constantly ring out from him. 

However, the violet lightning armor, which was created from the compaction of the violet-colored electricity that discharged from his body and pulsated about on it, also contained a hue of jet-blackness. 

The dark-black color that could now be found on his spiked lightning armor was caused by the bodily emission of darkforce energy from his body which had changed into a phenomenal form, and then the fusion of it with his lighniforce energy.

Being an energy that had the Power of Darkness, that was the color it produced. 

However, that was not all the colors that could be found on the solid armor of electricity. A dark purple color which belonged to deathforce energy could also be found on it, resulting in a tricolored armor of three realm-energies that possessed the attributes of Instant-Annihilation Electrocution, Vast Darkness Immersion and Shrouding, then Death respectively.

As the armor now contained deathforce energy which was also called life-reaping or grimforce energy, the saint-level Power of Life Absorption, Decaying and Withering, began to emanate unceasingly from it. 

Alex had actually produced a multi-attributed physique called 'Unparalleled Heavenly Rebelling Lightning-Winged Death and Darkness Emperor Physique' 

Then as soon as this physique appeared, and since he had evoked the appearances of three physiques, the other two physiques surfaced too...
