System: Replicating The Heavens
Chapter 50 Ch 50: Illusions

Alex's Super Cultivation Talent also played a vital role in the rapid increase in his cultivation. Without this cultivation talent, he would have at least taken a month to break through to the Innate Stage.

Alex kept cultivating without any sign of stopping. In just another few days, a huge amount of energy burst out from his body, sweeping the surroundings, indicating that he made a breakthrough in cultivation once again. Alex continued and didn't know for how long he has been cultivating here. Maybe one week or month, nothing could be said.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already a Level 3 Innate Stage martial warrior.

Finally, he once again consumed all the resources he could at the Innate Stage. Now, he was only left with a single Golden Pill and a few other treasures, but nothing could be used for cultivation. He has no choice but to stop cultivating.

Standing up, he looked at the Mountain Gate halfway to the mountain and sighed. Then he took out the Heavy Earth Sword and slashed horizontally in front of him.

With the strength of Level 3 Innate Stage coupled with the strength of a Royal Rank Weapon like the Heavey Earth Sword, even if Alex were to casually wave his hand, the sword Qi that would be formed would be enough to cleave a giant boulder. However, what he used now was the sword technique, Falling Leaf Sword Art.

"Shua!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of sword qi tearing through the air was followed by the sound of a large number of trees falling down. In the blink of an eye, nearly all the trees within thirty meters of Alex had been sliced apart!

However, before Alex could even take a step forward, the frozen spiritual energy in the area suddenly started to rapidly circulate, forming a cyclone that could be seen with the naked eye. In the next moment, a gigantic tiger with three eyes formed from spirit energy appeared in front of Alex.

"This is?"

Alex knew his strength was still not enough. Although he now knew the Nine Small Illusions, he still needed enough strength to break it. However, he was lacking in cultivation.

So, he could only use a forceful way to break the formation. He thought of using the Heavy Earth Sword and breaking the formation just like what he did with the box inside the tomb of thousands of people.

However, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

It seemed like it wasn't all an illusory array here. There was also a killing array, and this array must have been laid down in a different place, causing it to escape from the detection of the system.

When the Three-eyed Tiger appeared, it immediately pounced on Alex, its speed actually reaching the level of a Level 1 Innate Stage!

Unfortunately, with Alex's current strength, a Level 1 Innate Stage demonic beast was far from enough to be able to do anything to him. With a turn of its body, he easily dodged the attack of the Three-eyed Tiger. At the same time, with a turn of his wrist, the Heavy Earth Sword directly pierced into the Three-eyed Tiger's stomach.

What was unexpected was that the Three-eyed Tiger didn't bleed, and neither did it seem to feel any pain. The wound it received from Alex started to heal rapidly.

This recovery ability of this Three-eyed Tiger was really surprising. After recovering, it once again pounced at Alex, wanting to tear him apart with its claw.

Facing the Three-eyed Tiger's pouncing attack, Alex naturally easily dodged it once again. Moreover, this time, after dodging, he quickly came behind the Three-eyed Tiger and slashed down his sword on its back, cutting the Three-eyed Tiger into two halves.

However, the Three-eyed Tiger did not dissipate because of this. Instead, the two halves that were split apart absorbed a large amount of spirit energy and turned into two Three-eyed Tigers of Level 1 Innate Stage.

Alex was surprised by the change and was caught off guard. When he was caught off guard, the two Three-eyed Tigers immediately pounced at him from the left and right.

Alex became serious. This doesn't seem easy to deal with. However, this was exactly the thing that aroused his interest. Bringing up the Heavy Earth Sword, he once again used the Falling Leaf Sword Art.

Hundreds of sword images erupted and clashed with the two Three-eyed Tigers. The powerful sword smashed them into pieces, causing them to turn into spiritual energy that filled the sky and dispersed out.

But just as the spirit energy was dispersing, the surrounding spirit energy started to flow again, and the speed at which the spirit energy was flowing was even more berserk.

One after another, Three-eyed Tiger appeared around Alex. The number quickly exceeded twenty, but their strength was still stable at Level 1 Innate Stage.

With such a large number of Level 1 Innate Stage demonic beasts, even Alex himself didn't dare to be careless. However, facing the encirclement of these fellows, Alex did not reveal the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he closed his eyes with a smile that subconsciously appeared on his face when he started enjoying the battle with the Three-eyed Tiger.

The Three-eyed Tigers did not understand why Alex would do this and rushed toward him almost at the same time. Such a large number of demonic beasts rushing at him at once, caused the dust to fill the air, blocking Alex's eyesight!

In the blink of an eye, Three-eyed Tigers had already arrived within a few meters of Alex. It was also at this moment that Alex lifted his right leg and stomped down.

Rumble!

The kick looked casual but right after it landed, a light sound came out from the forest behind the mountain, and just as the Three-eyed Tigers were about to hit Alex's body, they suddenly stopped, transformed into spiritual energy, and disappeared completely.

After a few breaths of time had passed, Alex finally opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

He had to admit that the person who laid these formations was truly a genius. That person actually hid a killing formation at the foot of the mountain. While he was fighting with these Three-eyed Tigers, he was also searching for the place where the source of formation was that gave birth to the Three-eyed Tiger.

Finally, he was able to locate the formation as the system prompt appeared in his mind.

[Name: Killing Array.

Grade: Rank 4.]

Alex duplicated the array after consuming 20,000 Energy Points. This Killing Formation was only a Rank 4 formation and Alex was powerful enough to break it using his own strength.

When he killed the two Three-eyed Tigers, causing more than twenty to appear, he was already standing at the Eye of the Killing Formation. Then, with a stomp of his foot, he broke the eye of the formation, causing more than twenty Three-eyed Tigers to disappear.

Alex was still stuck in Nine Small Illusions. Nine Small Illusions were actually nine illusion formations and together, they make a big formation of Royal Rank.

After fusing with the Nine Small Illusions, Alex understood that he was stuck at the starting point of the sphere of light. He has to first break the Nine Small Illusions and then, if he still chose to step forward, he'll encounter the Emperor Rank Formation called Ten Direction Illusion Formation, and so on.

The Nine Small Illusions alone was terrifying. After understanding the Nine Small Illusions, he understood that the trees here were all illusions. In fact, the entire forest was the product of illusion. It was no wonder those trees continued to grow up even when they were destroyed or harmed in any way by him or demonic beasts.

Even the mountain in front of him was an illusory formation.

However, the mountain gate with the words "Stairway To Chaos" was not an illusion. It was really there.

As for the Three-eyed Tiger. It seems as if the consciousness of a week Three-eyed Tiger was suppressed inside the Killing Formation, causing it to rapidly appear and multiply whenever it died.

Keeping the Heavy Earth Sword back in the personal space, Alex continued to move forward. Though he knew everything was just an illusion here, he still choose to move forward. It is because only by moving forward and looking for the eye of Nine Small Illusions could he break it. He knew this formation was in the sky, but its eye which was also its core could be anywhere, in the form of anything.

After about four hours, he finally climbed half of the mountain and arrived in front of the mountain gate.

This mountain gate was exactly the same as what he saw at the foot of the mountain, only slightly bigger. This gate seems magnificent to look at. It has the carving of many strange lifelike beasts on the surface.

Alex took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pressed on the door with one hand. Just as Alex was about to exert his strength, the mountain gate suddenly shook and actually slowly opened by itself.
