A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 22: Calling for help

"So, tell me about the legacy you had?" Houston asked.

"Uncle, just wait and see. I would become very powerful, very soo... Wait, uncle, you haven't explained to me what I asked you earlier?"

Alex asked as soon as he recalled this.

"Of course I did. Then you fell asleep, perhaps you were very tired from your journey, all those trials you went through knocked you off to sleep" Houston replied.

Alex furrowed his brows, he couldn't remember anything.

Before he could talk, "Alex, why don't you accompany me for a walk?" Houston asked.

Alex was surprised "A walk?" He asked. "Yes"

Alex happily nodded, this was his first time heading out into the estate.

On the street, they walked together with everyone's gazes following them, especially Alex.

No one had seen him before.

Houston kept him well hidden in the mansion. They went sight seeing for an hour and discussed about the many things they saw.

On their way back to the mansion, a large slit suddenly appeared in the sky at a very far place, everyone in the city from wherever they where could see the slit.

Then cold winds descended from that slit. Everyone shook, especially the mortals. It was like a god had cut open the sky with a large sword.

Alex was firstly surprised, then fear set in, "What the hell is this?" he asked inwardly.

Houston looked up with furrowed brows.

He also didn't understand what was going on. While he waited for whatever opened that slit to show itself, a sword, large in size was shooting through the void at the speed of light.

It was this sword that made that slit by shooting off a gigantic ray of swordforce energy.

But before it could escape through the slit, it was suddenly entangled in invisible shackles that bound it tightly.

Since it couldn't break free from their bondage, It called for help in a way only powerful experts would hear.

The message was transmitted and Houston picked it up. Then his face turned solemn.

He looked at Alex who was looking up at that slit with awe and fear in his eyes and then projected a soul ray into his head. This caused Alex to fall into a state of unconsciousness.

He became unaware of what was happening around him. And like he was under a movement spell, he walked like a zombie into a partially visible portal which suddenly appeared and led to his room. Then he remained in there with a completely absent gaze.

After Alex had appeared in his room, Houston vanished from where he was and appeared in the void before the sword.

Immediately he appeared, he saw a few of the humanoid beings that brought death to his Lord, the 'Star lord.'

Then boundless fury erupted from his heart. "Bluefire skyburning physique" he uttered in fury.

Abruptly, his hair and skin turned blue and his body grew taller by many inches. Several overlapping layers of blue scales that shone like steel appeared all over his body radiating heat and intense blue luminousness.

These superimposed, seemingly-indestructible, blue armor scales were condensed from fire statutes, the primary source of fire which was fire originforce energy.

Gigantic, bright blue flames appeared deep in his dark blue eyes. With a gaze, towering, blazing flames manifested in the place he looked at. And this was the void which contained no matter. One could imagine his power of manipulation of fire elemental energy. 

Then brilliant, raging blue flames surfaced, enveloping his figure.

At the stage he was, flames discharging from his body would burn fearsomely in the absence of air.

The instant he transformed, he shot towards the beings.

"Desolating Fist of Fire Incarnate"

He uttered and punched out as he flew towards them.

The instant he punched out, a massive blue fist formed from energy and carried frightening dark blue flames shot out from his fist towards these alien-like beings.

Seeing the immenseness of the attack, the alien beings were greatly shocked by the power of this person. But before they could attack, an hammer that was nearly the same size of the flaming fist Houston unleashed, suddenly shot from far towards the fist. And immediately they collided, a massive world-shaking boom sound rang out.

Violent energies that could decimate half of a small world swept out.

These beings backed off a bit and produced powerful weapons that began to gleam, they were like suns in the form of a sword, spear and so on.

Houston looked at that being who blocked his attack flying over from afar with battle intent continuously erupting from him.

He began to glow.

"Sea of blue flame"

He bellowed. Then massive quantities of blue-colored fire elemental energy shot out from his body towards the being flying over.
