A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 1: Recurring dream, supreme expert

Many world-trembling battles were occurring in space. These battles either occurred in groups or individually. These people fought each other and their intents to destroy the other shot up nonstop.

Massive swords, spears, and so on, condensed out of different energies they cultivated shot at great speed towards their opponents.

Once these attacks of energies impacted, extremely loud boom sounds rang out and massive spheres of energy that shone with intense resplendent light abruptly surfaced and was instantly accompanied by ripples of destructive energies.

These ripples of energy carried great destructive power, they could shatter planets if they passed through it.

Extremely massive beastly creatures, the sizes of moons ferociously attacked each other.

They discharged astonishing amounts of fire, ice, lightning, frost, heat to eradicate their adversaries.

A tall man that wore a blue cape embroidered with stars engaged dozens of others in great, long-distance battles.

His numerous opponents wielded horrifying weapons. These weapons emitted dreadful pressures despite being in space, and radiated resplendent auras of terrific power.

They had been attacking this man for hours but he continuously halted their attacks. He seemed invincible, being able to cancel out dozens of attacks of energies shot at him.

His opponents became exceedingly furious, their advancement was being halted by him. He was like a blackhole, except he didn't devour their attacks but instead nullified it.

Draining themselves of every drop of divine power, they sent their strongest offensives at the man.

Swords, spears, blades, halberds and so on of astonishing sizes which were abruptly congealed from their entire energies shot towards the man at unbelievable speeds.

These offensives radiated with power that could seemingly fragment worlds.

The caped man, floating far away from these enemy combatants saw the incoming terrifying attacks.

He ignored it and looked around to far places in space, then he saw how these adversaries overpowered his friends, disciples and allies.

Many of them were being slaughtered like animals. This was because there were just too many of his enemies.

Each person on his side fought at least eight enemy combatants and their strength was below par with that of their enemies, this made them easily butchered.

Seeing there is no way out of this, he made up his mind. He closed his eyes and not long, an aura of sadness began to exude from him, tears formed swiftly in his closed eyes and rolled down his cheek.

The instant the beads of tears rolled down his face, his body began to glow in an extremely brilliant light; the light coming from him was so bright it outshone tens of times many suns that illuminated worlds that were very far away.

The stream of prismatic light emitting from him travelled far through the void bathing a great multitude of distant worlds in his extreme luminousness.

Every other person at different places in space where they fought a battle individually or in groups looked over.

The light had arrested their attention.

The people on the man's side understood what was happening, that he was about to detonate his core.

A base of power he had been been building since billions of decades ago.

With eyes that shone determination too, they closed them and began to glow too. These people were the man's friends, acolytes and vassal forces.

They were about to do what their friend and leader was doing.

The moment the enemy combatants saw the man glow, radiating great luminance, they instantly deduced what he was trying to do.

But they were awed to the extreme.

such power.

No wonder he wasn't at a disadvantage when he fought with them. The man had reached a realm in cultivation where he had no peers.

Quickly recovering from their dazzled states, they tried hurrying back to an extremely large dimensional portal far away to evade the blast, but they were seconds too late.

Boom!..

Everyone that were glowing at different regions in space also detonated their cores the instant the caped man did.

Then billions of world-shaking booms rang out and immensely large amounts of violent energies discharged from them in all directions.

These energies swept out with a force that could destroy everything. They were cataclysmic.

The shockwaves of the explosion caused planets scattered about in the vast, unbounded expanseness of space to tremble.

People in these affected planets were overwhelmed with great fright.

At first, it was an extremely brilliant light that first shone, then it was followed by other resplendent lights.

The lights were so luminous that it gave the feeling that numerous suns had appeared in their skies. Then unpredictably, hundreds of terrifying earthquakes occurred.

Their magnitudes were beyond any scale.

They manifested in rapid succession in different regions of these worlds.

Apart from these earthquakes, giant tsunamis and frightening windstorms also occurred in lots of places.

Raging, extremely colossal currents of water demolished structures in their path and violent, tremendously powerful gales pulverized hills and mountains.

Entire skies were darkened as dusts were heaved into the air, saturating it.

These worlds neared the brink of total ruin.

A boy, whose eyes had golden abstruse patterns in it, floated in space far away from where the battles were taking place.

Despite being very far away, he could see everything that was happening in space and in the thousands of distant worlds that were affected by the calamitous blast waves.

It was like he had an all-seeing vision.

All events that occurred everywhere did not escape his eyes that shone with mystification and peculiarity.

This boy was awed by the power of these people, especially the caped man. He fought valiantly and was extremely powerful, canceling out attacks the sizes of worlds from more than fifty enemies all by himself and even obliterating some of them.

But minutes later, absolute terror filled the entire void of his heart when he saw the terrifying energies raging towards him.

Not able to do anything, he was engulfed by the violent energies.

Argh!!!

A young boy suddenly screamed up loudly in bed. It was as if he was caught in that terrifying, cataclysmal explosion.

The dream felt very real.

He shook intensely and sweat could be seen soaking his entire figure. It took a very long time before his mind calmed.

It was 7:30am.

He pulled apart the curtains, hanging them on a golden hook that was screwed tightly to the wall.

The moment he separated the curtains, flood of soft rays of light from the sun came in illuminating the room.

This room was astonishingly spacious, and it was grandly decorated and excellently furnished.

The majesticness of this room surpassed the ones that noble or princely figures slept in.

His bed was large and gave the feeling of great, unparalleled extravagance.

The entire wooden frame of his bed beautifully sheened. They were coated with a type of paint that produced the feeling that it was of superlative quality.

The wood used to make the mirror frame, wardrobe, shelf, cabinet, rack, chair and table were from very rare trees in remote regions. They emitted pleasant scents that calmed the mind and relaxed the body. He entered the bathroom to take his shower.

After he finished showering, he dressed up in tight-fitting black clothes and sat on his bed.

He thought back to the dream he had. He had been having this same dream since he was four, and now he was twelve.

Every time it happened, he always screamed up from bed. The dream was extremely terrifying.

''Who's that man? Why do I keep dreaming of him?" He asked inwardly.

He had never told anyone about these dreams except his uncle.

This 'supreme expert' as this young boy called him, had left a great and everlasting impression in him.

He named him so as the man seemed unconquerable. He stood tall battling dozens of god-like beings by himself.

In his memories where the figure of the man had been deeply engraved into, he was tall, extremely dashing and looked divine radiating with terrific power. This boy believed this man was the most powerful existence ever. That he was a god.

This boy's name was Alex. He was twelve years in age. But one of the striking features about him was that he looked much taller than his age. He had the height of someone that was fifteen.

Another impacting feature of his was that he was peerlessly handsome.

A reason was because he had a perfect face. All the contours of his face were unerringly shaped, like they were done by a supreme otherworldly molder.

He had enchanting azure eyes and a long black hair that poured down far beyond his shoulders. It was like silk and was straight like a woman's hair.

He had a white skin that was mirror-smooth. It was free of blemishes, spots and cracks.

He looked like an unequaled beauty.

If not that he had hints of masculinity, many would take him for a great and rare beauty that cities would go to war for.

The tight-fitting clothes he wore further added to his extreme handsomeness and brought out his impressive male physique.

After a long moment of thinking about the man, he went to see his uncle.

His uncle had been taking care of him since he was a baby. He had been a fatherly figure to him.

He loved this uncle of his so dearly he wouldn't hesitate to jump in front of him to receive a dagger-stab to the heart.

He met hundreds of workers moving along the hallway to tend to duties they were employed for.

He exchanged greetings with every one of them with a cute smile hung on his face and continued on his way.

These workers dearly loved this boy.

He was affable, accommodating, generous and very handsome.

Alex was the friendly type. One could approach him and easily become friends with him. Despite having an uncle who had astonishing wealth, he wasn't proud and arrogant like the sons of other wealthy families.

The wealth his uncle had didn't get to his head. He wasn't attached to material things. Instead, he was more attached to people's feelings. He had empathy for people. He was moved by people's emotions. So this resulted in him being kind and highly generous. He gave things to people if he saw that they lacked it or if they requested for it from him. It was through him workers could collect stuffs from their boss who was Alex's uncle since they weren't comfortable with approaching him for their requests. 

Also, as a twelve-year-old child who just had an impressive height for his age, he was simple-minded and lovable. 

It was these endearing attributes of his that made the workers so dearly love him. 

These workers were people employed to maintain the overly enormous house he and his uncle lived in.

These workers were very plenty that they numbered in the thousands. Many of these workers also had their families living here too who also worked to get remuneration which were really 'enormous' in amounts.

The house they maintained was extremely massive.

It occupied an area of land for an entire estate and it was itself in a very large estate which had swallowed up hundreds of other estates it size.

Tall and magnificent buildings many times impressive than the palatial mansion of a king could be seen in here.

This grand estate was a hubbub of lucrative businesses. It had many restaurants, inns, shops, clinics, and what have you that don't pay taxes.

Also, very large and excellent, low-cost accommodation houses were seen here which was rented out to people at extremely cheap prices.

This stately estate was owned by Alex's uncle who had a lot of powerful firms and organizations in many other places.

His uncle had great affluence. One could easily say from all these that he was the richest in the continent. He had no equal in terms of wealth.
