System: Replicating The Heavens
Chapter 69 Ch 69: The Bronze Giant

Could it be that he was going to die in such a place?

Could it be that he doesn't even have the chance to be buried in the family tomb?

Aaban wasn't willing to accept it!

Ivaan and Aayan also watched the scene of the Bandit Leader's fist striking at Aaban with wide eyes. They didn't have the time to react and save Aaban.

Right at this moment, a layer of faint green light suddenly emerged from the bronze door. After that, a shadow appeared in front of everyone. He lightly pointed at Bandit Leader and Bandit Leader was sent flying, rolling heavily down the stairs.

Bandit Leader's face revealed a terrified expression. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat.

"Who is it!?"

All the Bandit Leaders looked at that illusionary figure in shock!

Aaban was pulled back from the brink of death. A look of relief appeared on his face. After that, he looked at the shadow with a puzzled expression. No one knew who this illusory figure actually is.

"Who is he?"

Everyone was shocked, Alex was no exception. He was also shocked. He looked at the illusory figure who looked to be in his forties. His long hair was fluttering in the wind and he was wearing a green robe. He had a calm expression on his face and his indifferent eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces.

"Senior, I didn't know that you were here. I apologize for offending you. Please forgive me."

Bandit Leader, who was incomparably arrogant a moment ago, felt that he had been locked down by an extremely powerful aura. He was terrified. He quickly supported his wounded body and stood up, then walked to the middle-aged man and said respectfully.

"Who are you? You guys don't have the mark of Ancient Land on your bodies, it means you've not entered the Ancient Land through its entrance but used some other means to come here!"

The middle-aged man looked at the Bandit Leader and his companions then said indifferently.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They clearly understood what the middle-aged man meant.

It turned out that anyone who enters the Earth King's Ancient LAnd from its entrance will be marked by the Ancient Land.

Maybe, this mark is the one that determines who is the outsiders, and when the Ancient Land closes, it'll teleport the outsiders out of the Ancient Land.

Bandit Leader was shocked and hurriedly said, "Junior and his companions were revived by 'God'. God told us to kill the people who entered the cave."

"God?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly. Then his expression eased up a lot as he said, "It seems Earth King has chosen you guys for the test of Third Stage. Unfortunately, you guys are late. You still had the time to kill these people until these people didn't reach the top of the stairs. Now that they have arrived here, it means they have already passed the test of Third Stage."

Then the middle-aged man pointed at the bronze door and continued to say, "Now, they'll go to the Third Floor and fight for the inheritance of Earth King. Since you guys are revived for the purpose of the Third Stage's test but failed to do your work, you are all no longer needed. If you would have killed them, then you could have left this place alive. It is a pity, you failed!"

Saying this, the middle-aged man waved his hand and the next moment, a powerful aura erupted from the illusory figure of the old man, and the next moment, before Bandits could do anything, silver light enveloped their bodies and they disappeared just like how they appeared.

From the words of the middle-aged man, Alex and others also understood a few things. This middle-aged man should be an important subordinate of Earth King. And Earth King actually 'revived' those Bandits before for the test of Third Stage.

As for what the middle-aged man meant by 'revived', no one understood.

"Senior, could it be that you've always been in seclusion here?"

Aayan thought of something, mustered his courage, and cupped his hands as he said.

The middle-aged man glanced at Aayan with a mocking smile on his face and said, "In seclusion? I have died a long time ago!"

He had died a long time ago...?

This sentence was like a death knell, crashing into everyone's minds.

They had seen a ghost?

"I am only a remnant soul now. Before I die, Earth King personally sealed a part of my soul on this bronze door to welcome qualified people to compete for inheriting his legacy." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Personally sealed by Earth King, Earth King's Legacy?

These words attracted everyone's attention. They looked at the Bronze Door with curious as well as covetous expressions on their faces.

The middle-aged man remained silent for a while and then suddenly said, "Since you are all here, I will open the bronze gate and see who can obtain the legacy of Earth King!"

The ten people revealed the expressions of ecstasy as they looked expectantly at the middle-aged man after hearing him.

After that, the middle-aged man pointed toward the sky. A ray of light instantly pierced through a thousand zhang rock layers and broke out of the ground, shooting into the sky. At the same time, an extremely terrifying aura spread out from the ground in all directions!

The next moment, a burst of dazzling green light burst out from the bronze door. Everyone couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their eyes. It was only after the light disappeared that they were horrified to discover that... There was actually no one around them!

Alex looked around in shock. He didn't know what kind of spatial zone he had been teleported to. Anyway, the people who were standing beside him a moment ago had disappeared. They were nowhere to be seen. This spatial zone was emitting a faint green light. Even the ground under his feet was the same!

While he was secretly shocked, a bronze-skinned giant suddenly appeared in front of him the next moment. It was over a hundred meters tall and Alex was like an ant in front of him!

When the bronze giant saw Alex, it didn't hesitate to slap him with its palm.

Speed!

Its speed was completely incomparable to its huge body, and with just a single palm, it sent Alex flying like a fly. In mid-air, Alex quickly took out a pill from the spatial ring of the previous owner and swallowed it in one gulp.

That palm strike by the giant injured him really badly, so he had no choice but to eat a healing pill to heal his injuries.

When the bronze giant saw that Alex wasn't instantly killed by him, a puzzled expression appeared on his face. In the next moment, he charged toward Alex once again.

At this time, Alex was already prepared. Naturally, he wouldn't let the giant hit him so easily. While dodging the bronze giant's attack, he would occasionally use his sword to fight back.

He could occasionally leave a small wound on the bronze giant's body, causing blood to flow out slowly.

A thought flashed in Alex's mind. While dodging the bronze giant's attack, he started looking for something on the giant's body.

It is because he noticed that the bronze giant was actually a puppet and was not a living being. It means there must be a place inside its body that is also its power source. If he could destroy the power source of this puppet, he can stop this puppet from harming him.

Hu!

A violent palm wind swept past Alex's ear. He was almost hit by the bronze puppet again. While using his agile body, Alex was searching for the power source of the bronze puppet.

At the same time, the others were also experiencing the same thing as Alex. The difference was the strength of each puppet. For example, the person who climbed the stairs with Alex before was facing a puppet. His strength was just enough to suppress the puppet.

There was also another member of the Hundred Poison Sect, the puppet he encountered was even more terrifying than Alex's. He was beaten by the puppet until he was in a very sorry state.

In a mysterious place, the middle-aged man could clearly see the situation of the group. A faint smile hung on his face as he watched every scene unfolding.

Alex looked at every corner of the puppet's body but failed to replace the power source. This confused him too much. He even looked at the bronze puppet's butt, but still failed. After checking for a while, he didn't replace the power source, instead, he was sent flying by the bronze puppet once again.

This time, Alex coughed out a mouthful of blood.

He hurriedly took out another pill and swallowed it. Only then did he feel a little comfortable.
