A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 229: Lightning cultivation III

Then abruptly, thousands of blue lightning bolts shot down from the immense, nine-layered clouds towards Alex who had once again began to rapidly and excessively discharge tremendous amounts of fiery energy from his body in the form of flames to provide him with flight.

Alex saw this and became terrified. Then he thought of dodging, but he realized in the next instant that he was at the center of the thundercloud and would definitely be caught up in the thousands of furious lightning bolts that were shooting towards him.

Then like he didn't care for his life anymore, he unexpectedly shot straight into the sky with powerful flames expelling from his feet at a terrifying rate towards the thundercloud.

In the next second, the thousand lightning bolts that had shot out from the thundercloud appeared before Alex and struck him.

Caught up in the immense, torrential lightning, Alex was knocked back to the earth. And as he was tyrannically hurled to the earth, he became engulfed by the lightning which tried to devastate his tough body.

Arghhhhhhhhh...!!!

Alex began to shriek loudly and unceasingly as intense stinging and burning pains began to rack his entire body. The agonizing pains which he felt were a result of the thousands of wild and vicious, blue electricity arcs from the lightning that began to roam about on his body with the intent to either burn it to cinders or destroy it.

While his body which had cracked in hundreds of places due to being heavily hit by the dense bolts of lightning, began to quickly fall off to expose the delicate organs that were hidden by his tempered flesh. Then the seemingly frenzied lightning arcs that moved intently and violently about on his body, entered into his body through the places where his stiffened, hardened flesh had broken off and fell to the earth. Then once they entered into his body, they began to cause unbridled destruction to his entire organs, arteries and veins, while drying up his blood at the same time.

The arcs of electricity which had the intent to decimate Alex's body, permeated his entire body within and began to burn and ruin his organs and blood vessels as they raged and rampaged about in his body.

Since Alex had totally lost his mental concentration due to the great and exceeding pain that racked his entire body, the immense stream of dark scarlet flame that continuously and rapidly ejected from his leg ceased. While he was being shoved back to the earth at a tremendous speed due to being tyrannically struck by the many solid bolts of blue lightning.

Alex smashed hard into the earth and the remaining pieces of tempered flesh that covered his skeleton and organs exploded out from his body.

The force that transmitted to his body upon heavily crashing into the earth and with an insane momentum, caused the remaining charred pieces of flesh on his badly broken body to explosively leap away and scatter about in every direction.

However, the lightning arcs that had filled his body within didn't stop there. They simply continued to rampage about in his body as they tried to cause further degrees of destruction to the organs which had already been reduced to something that looked seemingly beyond recovery or regeneration.

While Alex who had fainted from the heavy collision with the earth from his immensely accelerated fall from a certain altitude in the sky was instantly jolted awake by the extremely excruciating pain that unendingly racked his body.

Gnashing his teeth hard, he quickly released the known, tremendous mystical power of his body.

Then the innumerable arcs of lightning that wanted nothing but Alex's absolute destruction, were suddenly acted upon by an unseen force that came from a large rune that was at the center of Alex's energyhouse. If this rune was to actually appear in the realmverse, it would be a massive world of it own. It would be a Greatverse that would swallow up many other Greatverses.

It was actually this single, planet-sized rune which was condensed from the astronomical, statutory power of Myriad Essences and Energy Devouring that always produced the exceedingly powerful forces of suppression or limitation and absorption that acted on all energies, whether normal, primordial or deity energies, and then strongly pulled them into his body. Although it was said to be an unseen, defensive mechanism of his body against berserk, strange and foreign energies, it was actually this peculiar rune that was responsible for the devourment of all energies that he would ever come into contact with.

The power rune which was astonishingly large in size and was at the center or heart of Alex's energyhouse couldn't be actually seen by him. Despite it shocking vastness, it couldn't be noticed by him. That was to show that Alex's energyhouse was totally different from those of others. It was extremely large within that it could be simply seen as a cultivation-receptacle; energy-containing treasure-vessel that could hold from a million to a centillion times the energies of others (depending on their grades) and could perfectly replace the energyhouse that one would simply become a cultivation aberrant.

It was also this rune that caused the manifestations of other small runes on the surfaces of Alex's energy meridians which then increased their grades that it would far surpass that of the divine overlord grade.

Therefore, this would leave one totally perplexed of how such a mighty rune of primal power found it way into his body and why his energyhouse was like that.

As soon as the innumerous lightning arcs were acted upon by the encompassing, exceedingly attractive force that exuded from deep within Alex's energyhouse, they were suddenly and rapidly pulled towards it as bundles of wisps of electriforce energy. And when they entered, they infused into the red-black crystal of tribulation lightning, increasing it size again by a few cubic feet.

Alex couldn't stand from where he heavily landed into. But with a thought, a powerful healing pill appeared before him and entered into his mouth.

There was no stomach that the swallowed healing pill would dissolve in as every organ within Alex's body had been ruined beyond regeneration. And why Alex was still alive was because of his heart and brain that were still intact and were left undamaged as they were totally protected by invisible enveloping fields that emitted from the treasures at the center of his head and from his dad's spatial necklace that had merged with his chest.

However, the pill still melted into healforce energy that spread to every area of Alex's body, fully permeating it. And once it did so, it brought rapid healing to his badly wrecked body. His organs which had reduced to cinders were ignored as formation of new and more resilient organs began to take place. Then the cinders that were in his body were ejected out of it.

At the same time that the new organs formed, the remaining pieces of old flesh were cast away and a new and stronger flesh appeared on his body, covering his exposed bones and organs.

Alex then stood to his feet and bellowed to the nine-layered cloud.

"You wanna annihilate me?! Give it your best shot!!"
