System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 240 Ch 240: Fire Emperor
When Alex opened his eyes, he found himself in the body of an old man.
Finding out about this body, Alex could not help but curse in his heart. He remembered what Atticus told him before sending him to go through the Second Trial.
"I hope you will like the new body you are going to possess!" 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
These words were told by Atticus, and now, looking at the old man's body that he has possessed, Alex could not help but want to keep cursing Atticus.
Just like what happened when he was going through the first trial, the memories of the old man soon surged into his mind and he found out all about this world, about the war, and about the old man's background.
It turned out that this world was going through a long period of war now, the war between Humans and Demons.
Humans used to be the ruler of this world, however, everything changed when demons invaded this world from the abyss. These demons also controlled various demonic beasts to attack humans.
The demons were ready and thoroughly prepared, but the humans were not.
They caught humans off guard and caused a huge loss to the human race.
But this was not the end. Those demons were determined to completely annihilate humans. That's why, they kept coming out from the abyss in large numbers, to the point where counting them became impossible, and very soon, they annihilated more than three-fourths of the human population.
But one day, a human was born that saved the entire Human Race from its destruction. Only a few million people remained. Humans of this world lost everything.
Because that one human saved their lives, the rest of the humans started calling him Fire Emperor and made him the king of all humans. They called him Fire Emperor because he brought light to the humans who had already lost hope, he ignited the fire of spirit in every human's heart and made them fight against the demons with all their might, hoping to reclaim this entire world back that belonged to them.
But the attacks from Demons did not stop. The entire world now belongs to demons. As for Humans, only a small country was left to them. They called this country the Inferno Kingdom.
The Inferno kingdom became the last safe zone for the Human Race. The Fire Emperor divided the Inferno Kingdom into Nine Layers. The First Layer was where mortal humans without any strength lived, and the Second Layer had people who could cultivate, and so on. The Ninth Layer was the mainland where the strongest of Inferno Kingdom lives.
And beyond the Ninth Layer was the main battlefield.
The Fire Emperor kept the strongest people in the Ninth Layer to protect the Inferno Kingdom from demons. At the same time, created barriers in every layer that could stop stronger demons from invading.
As for him, he went to the mouth of the Abyss to stop the demons from coming out. He alone stopped all the demons and still keeps guarding the mouth of the abyss.
However, although the Fire Emperor stopped the demons from coming out of the abyss, this entire world was already in the demons' hands now. Only a small Inferno Kingdom was left to humans.
The number of demons present in this world was still uncountable, and they kept trying to annihilate the entire Human Race.
Fire Emperor has to guard the mouth of the abyss, so he could no longer help the Human Race fight demons. Humans have to go against demons using their own strength.
Although the Inferno Kingdom is very safe, from time to time, the demons still somehow manage to invade different layers.
However, because of the barriers, stronger demons still could not invade.
The old man that Alex possessed this time was used to fight in the Fourth Layer against the invader demons. His name was Dalgo Lynch. He also has two sons and one daughter. And they were all in different layers, protecting them from the invasion of demons. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
Dalgo was just a Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior, and now, Alex possessed him.
Just like what happened in the First Trial, Alex could not communicate with the system. But that was all. Alex discovered that he could actually use his comprehension of Laws and Sword Intent easily.
Moreover, Alex discovered something uncommon about this old man. This old man had a red pearl in his possession. Dalgo obtained this pearl years ago when he was fighting against a demon, and this pearl came out of the demon's body after he killed that demon.
It was very likely that this pearl came from the abyss.
After Dalgo obtained it, the pearl entered his body and disappeared.
Dalgo was unable to discover any use for this pearl and failed to make it react. Since then, he ignored the pearl completely.
However, Alex did not do so. After possessing Dalgo's body, Alex did all sorts of things to see what this pearl actually is. This pearl was inside the old man's body, and Alex did not want anything to go wrong when he was going through the second trial.
A few days of experiments finally brought a good result.
Alex finally discovered that the pearl could absorb the blood of demons and produce a large amount of blood energy that could refine the old man's blood and strengthen his bloodline which was already too thin to be discovered.
But that was not all, the blood energy could also help Alex break the bottleneck and increase his cultivation base.
In these few days, Alex have already absorbed a large amount of blood energy, and now, he was on the verge of awakening the bloodline.
Before this, the bloodline of Dalgo was too thin to be discovered. But now, after refining the blood energy, Dalgo's bloodline has become denser enough to be awakened.
.....
After killing the demon, Alex swept his gaze in the south direction before withdrawing his gaze.
Then he turned around and looked at the excited Rey and the others. He said to Rey, "Protect them and leave. Don't be in a hurry to kill the Demons. Investigate the surrounding environment first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and left the place.
Rey looked at the floor full of Demon corpse fragments, then looked at Alex's back and deeply bowed.
"Master Dalgo!"
A touch of excitement appeared on Antonia's face as he shouted excitedly.
"You know this senior?"
Rey and the others looked surprised as they stared at Antonia and asked.
"Of course. Master Dalgo used to be called the War General. He was in charge of protecting the Fourth Layer along with many others.
But he chose to retire this time, and I think, he was returning home when he discovered us and helped us.
"We were born in this era, we had no choice but to kill!" Rey looked in the direction where Alex had left and said in a deep voice.
Originally, he had become numb from killings, but Alex's actions had made his blood boil once again. He wanted to rush to the battlefield and kill his enemies again.
"Kill!"
Antonia and the other youths tightly gripped their weapons and roared.
.....
On a hill about ten miles away from Rey and the others, Alex stood like a majestic mountain. In front of him was a large pile of Demon corpses. In the distance, countless Demons were rushing toward him.
Those Demons were trying to kill Rey and the others on purpose. It is because Rey and others were coming toward this place slowly. And this was the place where stronger Demons were hidden.
Just now, Alex had already sensed the existence of the Demon army. He had come alone to stop them from killing the young generation of the Inferno Kingdom. At the same time, he has to change the final outcome of this war between Humans and Demons.
After the establishment of the Nine Layers, the Inferno Kingdom had countless soldiers guarding it. However, spies from demon races gradually infiltrated them.
Alex's eyes were cold. He kept waving the sword in his hand. His Sword Intent turned into countless energy swords and shot out one after another, killing dozens of Demons.
"Human Race's Expert?"
On a small mountain ten miles away, three demons stood side by side. The leading demon stared at Alex and spoke in human language. Its killing intent soared.
"We can't let him kill our companion again!"
Another demon's large eyes flashed with killing intent as it spoke in a low voice.
As soon as this demon finished speaking, the three of them roared toward the sky and instantly moved. They jumped a few times and appeared on the hillside opposite Alex. They stared at Alex covetously.
"They are Peak Heavenly Completion Stage demons!"
Alex narrowed his eyes. He wanted to swing his sword at any moment. He stretched out his hand and beckoned at the three demons. A cold smile appeared on his aged face.
He was ready to attack.
