He came out of the cave for fresh air.
Then he remembered the methodology he wanted to study.
The 'Great Empyrean Seven-Hue Lightning Methodology', A lightning-based A-grade duality methodology.
The methodology was a very tyrannical one as it techniques were simply extremely powerful.
The methodology, as it is named, is a methodology that allows one to cultivate electriforce energy also called lightniforce energy.
Via the methodology, one would be able to shoot solid constructs of electricity, and summon and manipulate electricity or lightning from the sky through the 'lightning evocation' ability they would gain by studying the methodology.
The methodology is divided into seven stages. They include: Lightning Adept, Lightning Reverend, Lightning Emperor, Lightning Sage, Lightning Celestial, Lightning Godlord, and Lightning Grand Venerate.
The 'seven hues' in it name correspond to the stages mentioned above. When one cultivate the specified energy, the energy cultivated takes on different hues.
At the first stage, it is red, and down to the last stage, it changes from red to blue, black, purple, indigo, violet and finally to golden.
To cultivate electriforce energy, one must absorb it from thunderclouds.
That's why the art, apart from being tyrannical due to it powerful plethoric techniques was tyrannical and deadly in the form of it cultivation.
One could die from being struck by the most chaotic cultivation energy from clouds in the realmverse.
Ninety-nine percent of expert will cultivate other forms of energy.
This is due to fear of obliteration by the energy. It could destroy their energy channels (force-arteries) and render them crippled or totally decimate them.
As he recalled all that he read in the cultivation manual, he decided to go for beasts that possesses lightning projection abilities tomorrow so he could cultivate the energy.
This was just the introduction. In the later stages, he would have to be struck by lightning from thunderclouds in thunderstorms or search for pools of pure electricity. It was deadly he knows, but for greater power, greater risk must be taken.
He went back into the cave and sat in the cross-legged position to ruminate on the techniques he had yet to practice.
There were still many of them and were very profound. He was still having a bit of an issue in understanding them as they were too complex.
Practicing god-level methodologies, apart from him being special, gives him an unequaled advantage against many of his opponents, as the techniques were techniques used simply by deities.
Only them could invent such techniques of great profoundness but Alex was able to understand them, to a small level though.
He hadn't fully understood how to unleash their full power with his level of comprehension in the methodologies' techniques.
When Alex understands them to high stages, he would be able to erupt more power that would awe divinities.
But he surely can't be the only special being in the entire world; in the nearly innumerable worlds in the realmverse. Each world, down from the greatverse (grand world) to the planeverse (mortal world) would surely have their own epic geniuses, either human, beasts progenies or non-humans.
*Next Morning*
Alex cultivated till the next morning and when the sun rays hit his eyes, they snapped open. He was ready for another battle today.
He would have his revenge on the greyback silver-furred ape. Although, the one that terrorized him is dead, he would go in search of another one and kill it.
If one comes his way, he would kill it, if ten comes his way, the would kill them and hundreds, he would slay them. He vowed.
Besides, he needed their cores to be able to collect his reward for accomplishing the mission he was given.
The other adventurer team had woken up from their sleep. Then they all set out. They agreed with one another to be back before evening.
The adventurer team made their way into a deep cave to search for the rank-4 beast they were after. While Alex continued on his way to find more beasts to fight.
The realmverse granted his wish.
Not very long, a tall lizard roared out of a cave, this was a rank-2 beast. It bellowed, releasing bright-burning flames from it mouth as it roared. It eyes shone with fierceness and so was it scales, they lustred like steel.
Without surprise, it unleashed it attack. It breathed out a large stream of fire at Alex.
From where he stood, Alex could sense the heat, if it engulfed him, nothing would be left of him.
As the massive flame streamed over ragingly, Alex didn't back off.
Excited to battle but being careful, Alex mustered strength and did an aerial cartwheel over the flame, pushed up to a great height by a wind current, he evaded the flames and landed behind the lizard.
While Alex was air-borne after he executed that fanciful evasion technique, cyan energy (windforce energy) gushed out from his hands in great quantities which abruptly condensed and shaped into a blade.
Then inscriptions appeared on the surface of the energy-weapon he condensed out of windforce energy.
These were array-mimicking symbols that infuse novaforce energy to his cultivated energies to amplify their power output.
Once he landed, he shouted "Earth gashing wind" and slashed out.
The cyan energy he channeled into the blade discharged from it as a giant cyan beam of energy.
This energy beam possessed tremendous penetrative power and radiated with might that seemed it can reduce hills.
Bang!
The energy beam hit the rank-2 beast and it pierced into the beast but stopped halfway.
It incredible skin's toughness had reduced the power of the beam to a weak level.
The lizard roared in pain. Then it body began to glow in light. Suddenly, flames shot out of it body in massive amounts towards Alex.
The wind energy-blade dispersed and at the same moment, his eyes glowed intensely in cyan light.
Wind currents rushed over from a great distance impacting the flame frenziedly burning towards him.
The massive, opposing, elemental attacks created a large boundary making it seem both Alex and the lizard were in separate dimensions.
The wind was unceasing. It swept over from far places with the aim to snuff out the flames.
Many seconds later, the flames were extinguished. Once the flames vanished, Alex punched out.
"Wind Fist"
The moment he punched out, a cyan fist of energy shot out of his fist.
This fist, as it shot out, pulled a large mass of air towards it which abruptly compacted and molded into a fist.
The air solidified greatly that it solidness could be likened to a wall.
Bang!
The fist impacted the lizard's head shoving it into the distance. It had smashed into the beast's head with super-hardness.
Alex ran over and saw the beast lying dead on the floor. The fist had struck it head open.
