System: Replicating The Heavens

"BOOM!"

A loud explosion rang out and smoke filled with traces of hot fire blew up in the air like a mushroom.

Alex retreated a few steps back and looked at his front. When the smoke dissipated, he saw a tiger-like demonic beast lying on the ground, dead.

This was a Level 4 demonic beast, Fire-horned Tiger. This demonic beast was famous for its pair of horns which was, in reality, just the manifestation of fire.

Although he was still walking in the desolate land, there was really no lack of demonic beasts. He had already hunted down close to ten Level 4 demonic beasts and about twenty Level 3 demonic beasts. It was already his third day inside the secret realm.

The secret realm will be closed after four more days. Alex had already started feeling bored. He didn't earn a single energy point, and the energy points were essential for him if he wanted to become stronger.

Sighing, he could only continue.

He took out the demonic core from the Fire-horned Tiger and walked away.

.....

"There are people over there!"

Two hours later, Alex heard the sound of fighting and shouting. He guessed there were at least two people fighting against a demonic beast not far away.

He suddenly had an idea. He knew what he should do to earn the energy points. Thinking of the strategy in his heart, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly dashed in the direction from where the sound of fighting was resounding in the air.

Not long after, he saw three people fighting against a Level 3 demonic beast. These were a group of old outer court disciples but were only Enlightenment Stage martial warriors. Each one of them was Level 4 Enlightenment Stage while the demonic beast they were fighting against has the strength to fight head-on against Peak Enlightenment Stage martial warrior.

Because of this, they had to group up and fight.

But even so, they weren't able to kill this demonic beast, though they did manage to injure it.

A cunning smile appeared on Alex's face as he dashed forward, and in next to no time, he appeared in front of the three people.

"You... Who are you?"

From the looks of it, these three disciples don't know Alex. Well, this was not surprising though. Although his name is famous in the outer court, very few people had seen him.

Alex didn't say anything and directly attacked the demonic beast, hitting it in the head, and killing it in one blow.

When he attacked, his aura of Innate Stage Level 9 was revealed, causing the three people to take a few steps back in hurry.

Meeting someone they don't know, and on top of that, if the person is powerful, being careful is a clever decision. They also began to worry, for they didn't know the purpose of Alex's appearance.

But they did were surprised when Alex killed the demonic beast, they fought hard for hours in an attempt to kill, with a single blow.

[Congratulations to the Originator. You have received 1800 energy points from Enlightenment Stage martial warrior, Divas Sukh!]

[Congratulations to the Originator. You have received 2000 energy points from Enlightenment Stage martial warrior, Aidas Lanan!]

[Congratulations to the Originator. You have received 1950 energy points from Enlightenment Stage martial warrior, Manna Bhosle!]

Alex grinned hearing the prompt of the system. Finally, he heard the pleasant voice of the system.

Only then did he turn back and answered their question: "My name is Alex... Alex White!"

Saying that, without taking out the demonic core, he left.

He thought this is what he'll do from now on. Whenever he'll encounter anyone fighting the demonic beast, he'll step up and steal their kill. Of course, he'll not take away the demonic core. All he wants to do is to earn some energy points.

As he walked away, he soon noticed the three people following him behind.

Alex frowned and stopped in his track, turning back, and asking, "Why are you guys following me?"

"Umm... That... Can we follow you?" Divas Sukh hesitated for a moment and asked.

Seeing Alex's frown becoming heavier, Manna stepped forward and said, "Don't misunderstand us, we were not saying we'll follow you because you can kill demonic beasts of Level 3 easily and could help us gather enough demonic cores, we want to follow you in order to be safe. There are many demonic beasts on the First Floor of the Secret Realm, and our strength is not enough to fight them. Following you can at least give us another layer of protection."

"Also, we will hunt our demonic beasts by ourselves, we'll not trouble you. We just want to follow you so that we can stay safe. The more the better, you'll also find a layer of security with us walking together!"

Although Alex was confident in his own strength and knew he could even deal with Golden Core Stage martial warrior easily with his current strength, he still agreed to the three people's request, for they were looking at him with begging eyes.

He also thought he'll not be bored spending his days inside the secret realm if he were to walk together with these people.

.....

​ As Alex and the three people were walking randomly, they suddenly heard several exclamations nearby.

"Bayrd, be careful!"

"Those demonic beasts have surrounded us!"

Hearing the voice, a happy expression appeared on Alex's face as he stepped forward in the direction from where the sound was coming. The three people following him didn't want to go in that direction, however, Alex gave them a layer of security that they didn't want to lose, so they could only follow Alex helplessly.

Reaching the destination, they saw dozens of demonic beasts surrounding several people. Although these were only Level 2 and Level 3 demonic beasts, there were simply too many of them, close to a hundred.

Just as Alex and others arrived at the scene, they were also surrounded by the demonic beasts. These demonic beasts were wolf-type demonic beasts. Whenever they attack, they always attack in packs.

Alex suddenly felt a cold glare behind his back and a feeling of being attacked. He turned and looked cold, took out his sword, and cut his sword horizontally.

Whew!

A dazzling sword light crossed the void and the harsh sound of metal rubbing came out. At the same time, sparks splashed everywhere.

The three Level 2 Demonic Beasts who just rushed to Alex stopped suddenly. And at the next moment, their bodies were divided into two parts.

"This..."

The others wanted to make a sound to remind but immediately swallowed the original words. Does Alex need their reminder?

No, he could deal with the situation on his own.

[Congratulations to the Originator...]

[Congratulations to the Originator...]

Alex soon received a few thousand Energy Points.

As if all the demonic beasts sensed that Alex is more dangerous and could even threaten their lives, they all glared at Alex and growled at him.

"Get out of the way!"

"Die!"

Alex didn't stop, nor did he wait for the demonic beasts to attack him. He slashed his sword as the sword light cut through the void and came slashing down at the demonic beasts.

Several people found that the originally fierce demonic beasts were cut into two the next moment, fell to the ground, and could no longer move.

At this moment, more than 20 demonic beasts out of slightly more than 100 besieging them were killed in an instant.

When the people saw this, they couldn't help taking a breath. They were frightened after witnessing Alex's strength. None of them have ever seen Alex, they have only heard of him. Because of this, they were unable to recognize Alex.

But they were sure other than the five giants, no other outer court disciple could show the strength that Alex had just displayed. The terror of Alex's strength left a deep mark in their hearts.

"Junior Alex, be careful, there are still many demonic beasts here." At this time, Aidas Lanan came forward and reminded Alex. But as he spoke, his voice gradually weakened and disappeared before he finished.

Everyone saw the demonic beasts who were targetting all of them a moment ago, walking forward and surrounding Alex only from every direction. There were more than 80 demonic beasts, and all of them were about to attack Alex at once.

No one knew how to describe their feelings right now. They were frightened, hopeful, sad, and excited, as well as many such emotions appeared in their hearts.

They were frightened of course because of so many demonic beasts. They were hopeful because Alex was present and he was much stronger than any of them. They were excited because the demonic beasts were no longer targetting them and they could escape if they want right now.

But they didn't do so, for they wanted to see what Alex will do now and how he'll deal with these demonic beasts. These fools even forgot, that if Alex is killed, the next target of these demonic beasts will be them.
