System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 474: Ch : Alex & Kryllax

Kryllax's expression tightened when he heard Alex's question. His brows furrowed deeply, and he stared at Alex for a long moment before speaking solemnly.

"As I told you earlier, the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation is derived from a supreme cultivation technique. Exactly because it is a derived cultivation technique, it carries a great flaw. If someone cultivates an incomplete version of this technique, they will eventually become a perfect cauldron for the person who cultivates the complete version of the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation."

Alex froze in that instant.

A cauldron?

Of course, he knew that a cauldron is someone whose body, energy, and soul can be absorbed by another cultivator. The stronger the cauldron becomes, the more powerful the one who absorbs it will become. It is a cruel fate that a person becomes a living sacrifice for another person.

Alex's heart tightened. At the same time, a cold storm spread through his chest.

Although he had already expected that Atticus wanted something from him, he never imagined that Atticus actually wanted him to become a perfect cauldron.

Alex's mind immediately filled with anger, confusion, and disbelief all at the same time. His breaths became heavy as he clenched his fists tightly, to the point where his nails almost dug into his palms.

Atticus had given him this technique, watched him cultivate it, and encouraged him to grow stronger. He did everything just to absorb him.

Alex felt something burning inside his chest. He could feel anger boiling, but also disappointment. After all, no matter what, his initial growth is definitely related to Atticus.

Although Alex never became Atticus's disciple, he did see Atticus as his friend.

But now Alex understood why Atticus always behaved so mysteriously. Why did he constantly observe him?

He would have doubted the reason behind Atticus's imprisonment if not for the explanation given by the Heavenly Spirit Stone. [Ref. Ch: 348.]

Kryllax looked at Alex carefully. He could sense the turmoil in his heart and the storm raging behind his eyes. Finally, he said softly. "It seems Atticus did not give you the complete technique. I didn't expect a genius of a generation to become such a person. What a pity!"

He shook his head lightly. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Serena also looked at Alex in surprise, not expecting him to cultivate an incomplete version of a cultivation technique that is related to Chaos.

What is Chaos?

Alex has zero idea. But it doesn't mean Serena and Kryllax were unaware of this as well.

No!

They know about Chaos but cannot really explain it to Alex.

Why?

Because only when Alex climbs to the peak of this universe step by step can he truly come in contact with Chaos. At that time, he will naturally discover the answer. And only then will he realize just how extraordinary his fortune was, to be able to cultivate a technique that allows him to wield Chaos Energy.

But before any of that, Alex must first overcome the flaw in his cultivation technique.

While Alex was still trying to calm his emotions, he felt a cold air surrounding him. He raised his brows in confusion, only to see that the old man, Kryllax, had appeared right before him at some moment in time.

Alex hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Now, it's your turn to answer my question." As Kryllax spoke, his aura grew stronger and stronger. At one point, it became powerful enough to crush the hut to powder instantly.

Alex and Serena felt immense pressure, but it was just within the limit they could endure.

Kryllax continued, "Tell me, how did you know that I gave Atticus the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation?"

It was at this moment that Alex realized he had made a huge mistake. He had seen the name Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation in Kryllax's information panel and questioned him without thinking even for a second.

How could he not arouse suspicion in the old man's heart?

After all, it is definitely not normal for a stranger to know another stranger's name, or anything related to him, for any reason.

Alex's heart was already in turmoil, but when the old man suddenly appeared before him, releasing a powerful aura that shook everything around them, that turmoil strangely began to settle.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. This simple action actually surprised Kryllax, for he could clearly see that Alex was calming himself down.

Anyone facing him or thrown into such a dangerous and suffocating situation would normally panic or collapse under the pressure. Remaining calm or even regaining calmness within just a few seconds was nearly impossible. It required immense willpower, a steady heart, and a level of mental resilience that only those who had survived countless life-and-death situations could possess.

Kryllax's gaze deepened slightly as he observed Alex's reaction, silently acknowledging that this young man was far more extraordinary than he first appeared.

On the other hand, Alex had also thought of something and replied, "I guessed. After all, I've never met anyone besides you who knows Atticus. Not to mention, you're someone who actually imprisoned an entire galaxy and hid it away from the rest of the universe."

"Oh?" Kryllax raised his brows. "And how do you know that I am the one who imprisoned this galaxy and hid it away?"

Alex shook his head, saying nothing. He just looked at the old man deeply.

It was at this moment that Serena stepped forward and bowed slightly.

To Alex's surprise, the old man seemed to sense something from Serena and actually took a step back. Alex could swear he saw a flash of fear in the old man's eyes. It was brief, but it was definitely there for a moment before disappearing.

"I never expected someone from that family to appear here. But it seems my location hasn't been exposed. If it had, they would never send a mere descendant after me. Tell me, why are you here?"

Alex immediately understood that Serena must have a special identity, and for some reason, Kryllax had recognized it the moment he looked at her.

However, Alex wasn't surprised. Serena had always been surrounded by mystery.
