Chapter 34: Battling beasts I

The energy blade in his hand dispersed.

Then he tore off the cloth he wore and flung it away as it was heavily stained with blood. Then he put on a new one.

Now, he carried many clothes with him. If he changes twenty times a day for the next six month, he would still have clothes to wear for the next five years.

His uncle had bought him a lot of clothes. It was not in Alex's nature to repeat mistakes.

Because of the smell of blood that lingered in the air which were perceived by some beasts.

They began to come out from the holes or caves they sheltered in.

Alex knew about this too but he didn't back off. He continued to move forward, seeking for beasts to decimate so he could improve his adeptness in the battle-techniques he knew.

Very soon, something huge jumped at him. Before that thing jumped at him, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation at the region between the brow of his eyes.

Subconsciously, using a butterfly kick technique, he dodged that thing that wanted to pounce on him by surprise.

When he landed, he quickly looked at what was in front of him and saw a large two-horned lizard. It had a red skin and breathed out violet fire.

The lizard hissed before it shot towards him like an arrow.

Alex had been on guard. Once the lizard showed a movement, he mustered strength and jumped into the air doing an aerial cartwheel over the lizard, then he switched it to a roll where he folded his legs in the air bringing his knees to his chest and rolled a few times in the air before landing to the ground.

He was now behind the huge lizard and was about to produce a energy-attack when a bird screeched in the air and as soon as it appeared above Alex.

It unpredictably swooped down towards him to capture him in it claws and take him away.

His eyes widened in shock. But possessing great reflexes, he quickly executed an aerial backward roll.

He swung his arms backward and threw his body into the air at the same time with all the strength he could muster.

Once his body was thrown into the air, because of the arms he swung backwards which generated a backward pushing force, his body moved in the air in the backward direction.

While airborne, he folded his legs bringing his knees to his chests and rolled away multiple times before landing many feet away from where he initially stood.

"The hell" he said immediately he landed.

The beasts were now two against one.

Not thinking too much, he quickly employed battle-techniques, his hands began to glow in light.

He then aimed his palms at the beasts and hurriedly shouted,

"Wind Dragon strike"

"Desolating Luminous slash"

At the same moment he screamed out, large amounts of energies, windforce energy and radiantforce energy erupted from his palms.

Then they abruptly transformed into large attacks.

The windforce energy condensed and shaped into a large cyan dragon. Once it appeared it, it caused furious gales to appear.

While the radiantforce energy solidified and molded into a large blade. It shone with great luminousness and resplendence as it emitted streams of light of many colors that bathed everywhere in them.

It dyed everywhere in the colors it produced creating a beautiful scene but the source of this enchanting prismatic light was a deadly weapon of energy.

Once they formed in the air, they shot through it at great speed like an arrow.

Bang! Puchi!

The lizard was knocked back dozens of feet by the cyan dragon of energy while the radiant blade of energy pierced deep into the body of the bird.

Both were injured, and before they could even think of running back into the holes they came out from, Alex shouted;

'Overlord Multi-Earthbreaker Fist"

Then punched out with both fist.

The instant he punched out, two large golden rings of energy shot off from his two fists.

At the centre of these two huge rings were two enormous gold-colored fists of energy shaped from compacted strengthforce energy.

The golden fists were encased in golden spheres that revolved and radiated the feeling of strength that could crush all.

Strengthforce energy is an energy that possesses physical might. He was able to cultivate it by studying: Worldbreaking Golden Overlord Fist.

The entire attacks collectively radiated great might. They caused the earth they traversed over to tremble from the might they emanated.

The powerful might released by the fists caused parts of mountains in his immediate proximity to crack deeply.

Boom! Boom!

The entire offensives smashed into the two beasts one after the other with a super-hard impact that could seemingly cause mountains to sunder.

Despite their huge, intimidating size, they were knocked flying for more than a hundred feet into the distance.

Then they landed heavily at that distance.

Bang! Bang!

Once they landed, they scattered into pieces.

Their tough bodies had been splintered by the fists.

Alex was surprised by the attacks he produced.

"So powerful?" He asked himself in a deeply astonished tone.

He didn't know a primordial cultivation energy that circulated in his energyhouse had partially blended with the strengthforce energy he cultivated.

This increased the power of the technique to shocking levels.

But because the quality of his energy wasn't so great, the primal cultivation energy that melded into it couldn't show it immensely great power.

Besides it was not it own energy. It was just a secondary cultivation energy it achieved partial fusion with.

Then he thought that if he did this outside where human cultivators where gathered, they would chase after him to get the secret why he was able to produce such an attack.

Then he decided he would never use the technique again or he could unfortunately stumble into something he might not be able to come out from.

He was enjoying himself as he slayed the first wave and second wave of beasts.

He then hoped more would come out.

He was here to train.

He would know how to quickly and efficiently deploy the various battle techniques he studied at home in this place.

This valley, Skull Valley by name, was extremely long. Anyone who wanted to move through this valley to the other side must be an incredible expert, as there are thousands of terrifying beasts in here.

They live deep in caves at the foot of the mountains or in caves at the side of the mountains.

Not very long, many winged beasts flew out of a cave found by the side of a mountain he just reached along this valley.

Alex looked at the incoming beasts and his face turned solemn. There were thousands of them and they were small in size.

But such beasts were the most dangerous, they were highly overpowering because of their great numbers.

Their wings buzzed loudly as they flew towards him and snarled.

Then pyroforce energy erupted from his body in great quantities. This time he was truly engulfed by flame.

The flame enveloping his figure roared like a frenzied beast as it continued to increase in size by great leaps.

Very soon, the flame had increased to a size so large it could rival the size of a large hill.

"Devouring Fiery Maelstrom" he shouted.

Once he employed this battle-technique from the "Great Conflagration methodology, the fire, which still boundlessly grew, like it growth had no limit, suddenly began to swirl.

It then became a massive column of fire that revolved at great speed. Alex was within this rotating gigantic column of flame thinking of how next he should attack.

He only brought this up as a protective measure against the large swarm of beasts heading towards him.

When they reached where he was, they only surrounded him and could not enter as the twirling column of fire frightened them. The heat radiating from it was unbearable. They could be quickly destroyed.

"Fiend Incinerating Fire" Alex shouted.

Then the fire column rotating around him changed from orange to violet.

Once it changed, the heat emanating from it increased by many fold.

The heat given off by this fire would turn metal to liquid in seconds.

The fire column's rotational speed picked up to the extreme and then exerted an attractive force on the beasts surrounding Alex.

Many of them were pulled and were burnt to cinders.

The few that got away, Alex punched out at them.

Then large amount of the energy erupting from his body would abruptly condense and shape into enormous fists that shot out at high speeds towards the target Alex punched out at.

He took down many of them that escaped from his fire vortex with his blazing energy fist, burning them to ashes.

"Invincible" he said elatedly.

Then he remembered his father's devastating power. He shook his head and smiled. He wasn't even a percent close to invincibility.

"I would get there one day" he uttered with great confidence in his mind.

Then he remembered how they died. "Dad, mom, your son promises to grow stronger quickly and wipe out those insane beings. I would go to their realmverse and desolate it. I will wipe away their existence for good." he said, vowing in his mind.
