System: Replicating The Heavens

Before the protector could react, a sharp sword pierced into his heart. Blood flowed out like a fountain as they fell to the ground. The protector also couldn't hold any longer as he fell to the ground with a loud 'thud' sound.

But he didn't die immediately. He looked at Alex and saw a cold smile on Alex's face, he panicked. Although the wound in his heart was deep, it'll still take a few minutes for him to die. But Alex's expression told him that Alex didn't want to give him those few minutes.

The people were all still fighting the Blood Corpses. They didn't even notice that someone has already taken down the protector and the protector was on the verge of death.

All of them were fully focused on killing the Blood Corpses. They knew if they wanted to live, they had to kill. They had killed so many that everyone's eyes has already lost luster. There was only one thought in their mind and that was to kill. Their bodies were tired and had already used up all the spirit energy, but even so, they were constantly fighting based on their instincts. They had killed so many Blood Corpses that even their instinct told them to kill and only kill.

"You..." The protector asked in a trembling voice: "How did you notice? There hadn't been a single person in billions of years who was able to notice the flaw, how did you do that?"

Alex shook his head and replied, "You don't need to know that."

Alex replied coldly and slashed with his sword and cut off the head of the protector.

The moment the protector died, all the Blood Corpses howled together before they fell to the ground, completely lifeless. Their controller has died and so did they.

The scene was so shocking that it suddenly caused all the people to come back to their senses. At first, they looked at their surroundings in a daze and the next moment, many people cheered and many started crying out of happiness. All the people had the same or different expressions on their faces but one thing was common among them, all of them heaved a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden has fallen down and they have gained their freedom.

Still, no one noticed a different corpse among the corpses of thousands of Blood Corpses and a few dozen humans who died battling the Blood Corpses.

They didn't know how they cleared the final test of the first floor, but no matter what, it was a moment of joy.

Suddenly, light illuminated the plaza and all the corpses including the corpse of the protector disintegrated into fragments of black light before vaporizing in the thin air. And the next moment, a gate formed of light appeared in the center, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone soon understood that it was the gate leading to the Second Floor of Earth King's Ancient Land.

They looked at each other and many people backed off. These people were the ones who no longer wanted to explore the Earth King's Ancient Land and only wanted to leave this place alive. However, there were still people who wanted to go to the Second Floor and see what is there. Of course, they were clearly aware of the risk included.

At last, only 30 people were left behind from the joined group of Mystical Peak, heavenly Gate, and the Hundred Poison Sect. As for the other people, they left the plaza to explore the other places on the First Floor and silently leave the Ancient Land.

The 30 people including Alex started resting and recovering from their injuries as well as their lost spirit energy.

.....

_Eath King's Ancient Land, Second Floor_

Thirty beams of light flashed in the sky and thirty people descended. After landing, they looked at the surrounding with curious gazes.

Alex muttered, "So, this is the Second Floor of the Earth King's Ancient Land."

This was a dark space where the red light was flashing in the sky from time to time.

Although the space was pitch black, everyone could clearly see each other. This place was like a starry sky without stars, and the darkness did not conceal everyone's vision.

No one has ever been able to come to the Second Floor, so the Second Floor was completely unknown to them.

Suddenly, lots of pieces of information suddenly appeared in everyone's mind and everyone understood what kind of place this Second Floor of the Earth King's Ancient Land is.

They understood that there are three main dangers on this floor. The first one was called the Dark Wind Void.

In this Dark Space, there are Dark Winds flowing from time to time that could crush a person to pieces. And along with the Dark Wind, there appears Dark Wind Monsters. The Dark Wind Monsters are divided into four levels: low level, middle level, high level, and top level.

The Dark Wind Monsters aren't very strong. Low-level Dark Wind Monsters are only equivalent to an Enlightenment Stage martial warrior, mid-level Dark Wind Monsters are equivalent to Innate Stage martial warriors, high-level Dark Wind Monsters were equivalent to Golden Core Realm martial warriors, and top-level Dark Wind Monsters were equivalent to Spirit Origin Realm martial warriors.

However, although the Dark Wind Monsters aren't very strong, just like the Blood Corpses, there are simply too many of them. The information in their mind said that every time the Dark Wind flows, there would be dozens or even hundreds of Dark Wind Monsters appearing.

If there were too many ants, they could bite an elephant to death. Moreover, the Dark Wind Monsters were not ants. If there were too many of them, it would be enough to wipe out the thirty people.

Therefore, all thirty of them, including Alex, Eloise, Ivaan, Aayan, and Aaban were extremely vigilant at this moment.

Ivaan was one of the three people with the highest Cultivation base among the thirty people and he was also the leader of Mystical Peak. He said faintly, "Everyone, all of you already know what this place is. What I want to say is, that we all should still stick together and not separate. It'll be good for all of us."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Aaban glanced at Ivaan indifferently, then he nodded slightly and said, "I have no objections. However, if this place is not really too dangerous, my Hundred Poison Sect will not act together with your Mystical Peak."

Aayan also laughed and said softly. "I also have no objections. There are still two major difficulties after the Dark Wind Void. And Each one of them is stronger than the last one. I'm not willing to let my Heavenly Gate suffer too much of a loss so let's stick together for the time being."

After some time, they chose a direction and started walking in that direction. However, it has only been ten minutes when a fierce wind suddenly blew.

A countless gust of dark blue terrifying wind whistled over. Every gust of wind was enough to rip apart any martial warrior below the Spirit Origin Realm!

Even those at the Spirit Origin Realm might not be able to withstand the lethality of Dark Winds and would be ripped apart if their strength wasn't strong enough. Furthermore, it was under the condition of just a single gust of wind.

With so many strong winds, even a Level 3 or Level 5 Spirit Origin Realm Martial warrior would die after resisting for a long time.

Quantity changes would always cause a qualitative change.

"The Dark Wind has appeared, everyone is careful!" Ivaan's expression changed slightly as he carefully reminded.

Alex, Eloise, Kim Min-Oh, Raymond, and others all nodded with serious expressions.

This time, Hugo and Ezra didn't choose to come. They all choose to leave the Earth King's Ancient Land.

The first to be attacked by a powerful gust of Dark Wind was Aaban. He had a cold smile on his face as he muttered, "Just this little bit of wind power and you want to kill me, you are overestimating yourself."

He waved his palm and a golden light burst out from it. It was the metal-attributed energy which means Aaban has the unique talent of at least Low-Grade Gold Attribute.

Boom!

The gust of Dark Wind that attacked him was instantly destroyed. His face revealed a proud expression as he looked at others.

Ivaan and the others also began to deal with gusts of Dark Wind. When they saw the expression on Aaban's face, he cursed in his heart and said, "Idiot, you really think you're a big deal? It'll be better to not be careless in this place, mainly when facing Dark Wind. Since the Dark Wind has appeared, the Dark Wind Monsters will also appear soon. We should stay careful."

After giving Aaban a final glance and saying all these things, Ivaan no longer paid any attention to him. In his opinion, Although Aaban is proud, he is not a fool. He'll be able to calm down soon.
