System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex rushed to the front of the sword-wielding youth. When he looked at the black figure descending from the sky, he felt the pressure from the black figure, and suddenly felt that he was unable to move.

"It's been so long since I've had such a feeling!"

Alex's eyes burned with a fighting spirit and his mouth raised in an arc, his spine seemed to come alive as he punched out!

"Boom!"

Alex's punch smashed the black shadow flying, hitting on the big dome.

He also swayed his body a bit and his entire arm was slightly numb. He didn't expect the strength of that thing to be so terrifying. Luckily, he had a strong body, otherwise, any other martial warrior would have been smashed into meat patties!

"What on earth is that?"

Alex frowned and then looked at the sword-wielding young man behind him.

What was certain was that that thing is definitely not human. During the exchange just now, Alex had smelled a fishy, rotten smell from his body. How could a normal person's body smell like a corpse?

The sword-wielding young man's face was as white as paper. He quickly took out two pills and consumed them, then said: "He is a former elder of the Star Seeking Tower. He died 1,000 years ago after entering the maze. Star Seeking Tower has been looking for that miraculous treasure called Stone of Tomorrow for a very long time. In fact, the reason behind its establishment was to seek the Stone of Tomorrow!"

"After spending years looking for the Stone of Tomorrow and sacrificing countless powerful elders, Star Seeking Tower finally managed to find a clue about the Stone of Tomorrow. To confirm those clues, he sent a Martial Emperor Stage elder. However, that elder never came out. It was speculated that that elder had died inside the maze. I just didn't expect to encounter him here!"

Alex frowned when he heard this. He was very familiar with Star Seeking Tower. He just never expected it to exist for the sole reason of finding the Stone of Tomorrow.

Now, there seemed more to this matter than what meets the eyes. Alex had a feeling that he will become enemies with Star Seeking Tower and start a life-and-death battle against it if he obtains the Stone of Tomorrow.

However, he was not worried about that. With the system in hand and the Devouring Flame, Alex believed that his growth speed will surpass anyone ever born in this world.

Alex also confirmed his previous guess. This man definitely knows something very important, and that's why he came here. Maybe, his target is Stone of Tomorrow itself.

Taking a deep breath, Alex asked: "Tell me, who are you and how do you know so many things about Star Seeking Tower that should have been their core secrets?"

The sword-wielding youth was stunned when he heard this. He never expected Alex to ask this question. Coughing a little, just as he tried to divert the topic, he felt as if his surroundings have become very hot, and sharp as well. He had a feeling that if he didn't answer Alex, he'll die immediately.

A bitter smile appeared on the sword-wielding young man's face. He sighed and said: "I'm working for a core member of Flame Dragon Clan. He asked me to infiltrate the Star Seeking Tower and spy on them. He wanted me to find out about their core purpose. In recent years, because the Star Seeking Tower's movement has become bigger and bigger, they started doubting the Star Seeking Tower and wanted to know their main purpose for making many moves in a short period of time."

"I entered the Star Seeking Tower and soon became an inner court disciple. Then I befriended a core disciple whose master is the great elder of Star Seeking Tower. And after many difficulties, I finally found out about their purpose from that core disciple."

"However, who wouldn't want to obtain the Stone of Tomorrow? This is a treasure that contains a secret technique that has the power to manipulate time in some ways. When I come to know about the clues of Stone of Tomorrow, I immediately left the Star Seeking Tower and entered the maze."

"However, a few months ago, the maze's terrain suddenly changed for some reason. I had no choice but to explore the maze on my own to find this place. Along the way, I encountered many dangers and saw many people. They all must have come for the Stone of Tomorrow as well."

"I avoided all of them and silently entered this place. However, I didn't expect to encounter the dead elder of Star Seeking Tower who has been corroded by Ghostly Energy, becoming neither human nor ghost. His strength and speed have been greatly strengthened. The most terrifying thing about him is that he couldn't feel pain!"

The sword-wielding young man was so afraid that Alex would misunderstand him that he quickly explained everything truthfully. He could feel a powerful sense on his body that was checking if he was lying or telling the truth. If he lied, his heart would definitely fluctuate a little and if that fluctuation was caught by Alex, the surroundings' sharp air will definitely chop him into pieces.

This is the reason why he didn't dare to lie and told Alex everything at once.

"Boom!"

Before Alex could even think about what the sword-wielding man has said, the black figure again jumped down from the dome, using both hands to support himself as he raised his head and looked at Alex coldly.

It was only now that Alex was able to see its face clearly.

It was an old man wearing a tattered black robe. However, he no longer had any signs of a living person on him. His skin was extremely wrinkled, and he had gray snake-like veins. His eyes were empty, and his mouth made gurgling sounds.

Alex raised his eyebrows. Seeing the black figure rushing towards him, Alex coldly snorted, and with a backhand punch, he smashed the black figure's chest.

"Bang!"

The Black Figure was suddenly sent flying, but it did not seem to feel any pain. It quickly crawled back up and pounced on Alex.

Alex fearlessly went closer to the black figure and fought with him in close combat. The power contained in every punch and kick was enough to turn the world upside down!

The sword-wielding youth originally wanted to say something, but seeing how strong Alex's physical body was, he was immediately flabbergasted. He was unable to say a single word. He never thought that there would actually be someone who could fight against a black figure and not only that, but he was also not at a disadvantage either!

How is this possible?

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

After clashing with his full strength a hundred times, Alex could not help but feel a little tired. As for the black figure, it was still as lively as before.

"It's no use. Unless its four limbs are all chopped off, it will never tire of bothering you!"

The young man with the sword also recovered some of his spirit energy, he stood up and raised the sword in his hand and could not help but say: "Although your physique is strong, your body still can't be compared to him. Why don't we attack together and subdue it?"

Alex indifferently glanced at him, and the next moment, the Heavy Earth Sword soundlessly appeared in his hand. He said: "I don't need your help!"

Before he finished speaking, Alex raised his hand and cut down, the sword light instantly crossed the distance between him and the black figure, and with a "chi" sound, it struck the black figure's shoulder.

"I said it already, it's useless!"

The sword-wielding young man shook his head with disdain: "If it was that easy, I would have already defeated it countless times. In order to defeat it, we must first trap it and then rely on cutting off its... four... limbs..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his expression froze.

The black figure let out a low roar, its entire arm was cut off, its skinny arm fell to the ground, and the wound unexpectedly did not have a single drop of blood.

"What?"

The sword-wielding young man shouted as his eyes were filled with fear.

Previously, he had tried everything, but even with all his effort, he was unable to harm the black figure in the slightest. Who would have thought that Alex would cut off the black figure's arm?

It was clean without the slightest bit of procrastination!

He swallowed his saliva with difficulty. When he heard Alex telling him that he doesn't need help, the sword-wielding young man laughed in his heart at Alex's ignorance. He thought Alex is just overestimating himself.

But now...

The sword-wielding young man could not help but look at Alex in a new light. This young man, who seemed to be only at Heavenly Completion Stage Level 9, is stronger than him, a warrior at the peak of the Crystal Transformation Stage.
