System: Replicating The Heavens

Alex's looked at the mysterious pattern on the box and its attribute panel immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

[Runes (Royal Rank)

Great Sealing Formation (Royal Rank).]

Alex was surprised when he saw this. The mysterious patterns on the ordinary-looking box were actually runes of Royal Rank, and these runes together formed a formation called the Great Sealing Formation which was also a Royal rank Formation.

After getting his hands on 'Notebook on 1000 Formations' written by Formation Master Feng Yan, Alex had tried to read and understand them, but he failed. He did not even know the basics of formations, how could understand so many formations at once.

Well, he could directly understand the essence of these formations and learn all 1000 formations by duplicating and fusing with them, but it requires a great number of Energy Points that Alex had never been able to gather till now.

But after reading and trying to understand the formations, although he failed to gain anything, he did come to know that if one wants to understand formations and become a Formation Master, one has to first learn many types of runes. Only by creating, gathering, and arranging the runes can one lay down a formation successfully.

According to Formation Master Feng Yan, runes and formations are divided into many ranks, from Rank 1 to Rank 6. Feng Yan was an Initial Rank 3 Formation Master. Only when a cultivator cultivates to the Enlightenment Stage could they start cultivating runes and formation.

In other words, a Rank 1 formation can easily kill and trap an Enlightenment Stage martial warrior. A rank 2 formation can do the same to an Innate Stage martial warrior, and a rank 3 formation can harm and kill a Golden Core Realm martial warrior.

The higher the rank of formation, the higher its potential will be.

Runes are also the same. Only after learning and understanding Rank 1 runes can a cultivator lay down a Rank 1 Formation and become a Rank 1 Formation Master.

Formation Master Feng Yan knew that there are other levels of the formation above Rank 6. Maybe, this level of Rune and Formation is called Royal Rank Rune and Formation.

This was what Alex guessed in his heart. He looked at the runes on the box and then looked at the energy points he currently has.

[Energy Points: 40,368.]

Alex was surprised. Before he walked out of the academy. he only had 56,850 energy points. After that, he duplicated the Berserker Bloodline by consuming 30,000 energy points. He should have been left with slightly more than 20,000 energy points but now, the energy points had increased again. Maybe, his battle with Neon was still bringing shock to people in the Floating Cloud Academy.

[Duplication Failed!]

Alex tried to duplicate the Great Sealing Formation and understand its essence, but he failed. As expected, he did not have enough energy to duplicate a Royal Rank treasure.

Since he could not duplicate the formation, he can only try to forcefully break it.

Looking at the ordinary-looking box, Alex muttered, "Is there something dangerous sealed inside this box?"

Alex did not know if there was something dangerous sealed inside the box or not, what he wanted to do now was to open the box and sea. There might be another opportunity waiting for him. Well, there might also be a life-threatening danger waiting for him. He would only know after opening the box.

What kind of great being had not taken risks with their life? Only by taking risks and fighting in life and death situations could one grow stronger quickly become a powerhouse.

Alex walked to the side of the box with Heavy Earth Sword in his hand. Since the formation was of Royal Rank and his Heavy Earth Sword was also a Royal Rank Weapon, it might be able to forcefully break the formation and open the box.

Alex prepared to slash, however, at this moment, a dull sound came from the inside of the box. It sounded like a drum. Each sound was like a beating of a drum that resonated with the beating of one's heart.

Countless images suddenly appeared in front of Alex's eyes once again. This time, the Illusion had become much fiercer and stronger than before.

"I won't be deceived this time!"

Alex shouted in his heart. His Heart and Will has already been tempered before. Before the Illusion was fully formed, it was broken by Alex's firm will and resolute heart!

"How dare you? You will pay the price with your blood and soul if you dare to break the box!"

The moment Alex broke the illusion, a sharp and piercing sound was heard. From the voice, it sounded like it had come from some distance.

Alex sneered in his heart. He was able to come here after breaking who knows how many illusions. Any one of those illusions was enough to trap Alex here for his lifetime. Now that he had come to this point and could feel a terrifying aura coming from inside the box, how could he stop?

Moreover, from the loud shout just now, Alex guessed that whatever was inside the box, was very important to the other party.

"Fallen Leaf Sword Art, First Style!"

Alex immediately executed the Fallen leaf Sword Art that he had gotten from Formation Master Feng Yan. The Heavy Earth Sword was drawn out of its sheath in an instant, and a shocking power erupted out from it. Then a thin light was slashed out.

Maybe, the Great Sealing Formation was here for too long and lost a lot of its source energy, causing it to be weakened greatly. It was unable to defend against Alex's attack and was broken by the thin sword light. Not only this, even the box in front of Alex split into two and exploded in two directions!

The box was split open by Alex's sword. And a red stone, the size of a human baby's fist, flew out and was thrown to a distance. The terrifying aura was emanating out from this red stone.

Before Alex could see what the red stone actually was, his entire body trembled slightly. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because he was shocked to the extreme.

Even though Alex had seen many life and death situations in his previous life on Clear Sky World. However, at this moment, he still couldn't suppress the overwhelming emotion in his heart.

The box was just a seal. There was still an open space below the box. Now that box was split open and fell in two different directions, Alex could see that the bottom of the box was filled with corpses. There were numerous corpses.

Every corpse's skin was still the same as when they were alive. However, Alex could tell from the aura that these corpses had been dead for at least a hundred years!

These corpses were placed in different shapes. Their mouths, chest, and limbs were all nailed with sacrificial symbols. This was indeed a large tomb. A large grave with at least a thousand people buried within.

The person who had set up this grave clearly wanted to use some sort of special ceremony to obtain great power. His methods were extremely cruel.

And whatever he wanted to do, it must be related to the red stone that was thrown to a distance. That person have have been using these corpses to do something with the red stone.

"You really are quite brave. Even after my warning, you dare to break the seal and destroy a hundred-year-effort of my master. Next, you'll have to pay the price for your action!"

Suddenly, a dark light flashed an extremely evil aura appeared in front of Alex and transformed into an illusionary body in front of him.

"Evil Spirit!"

For some reason, the moment Alex saw this figure, he already knew what this thing was. It was a being born from the combination of countless strong emotions. Under normal circumstances, only those who had encountered incomparably furious situations and had monstrous hatred in their hearts before they died would have such emotions.

It was obvious that the corpses in the pit had suffered endless tortures before they died, which was why this Evil Spirit was born. And after its birth, it was controlled by the person who killed all these people and told this Evil Spirit to protect the box.

This Evil Spirit's strength was roughly at the peak of the Saint Origin Stage. Furthermore, after a while, it would be able to condense its physical body, and its strength would increase by leaps and bounds. And it wouldn't be long before no power in the country could suppress it. It would set off a terrifying storm of blood in the human world!

"You are quite smart. Since you know what kind of great existence I am, you can kneel down and submit to me. Offer your blood and soul to me, and I will give you eternal rest!" The Evil Spirit spoke slowly but arrogantly.
