System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 55 Ch 55: The Maze Formation



Alex looked at the huge wall in front of him and didn't know how to express the shock he was feeling in his heart. He had never seen a wall as huge and long as this wall. Alex started walking while following the wall, however, he suddenly stopped in his tracks not long after. He didn't dare to make a sound because something huge seemed to have passed over his head.

"Hiss!"

A hissing sound entered Alex's ears. he suddenly felt a cold chill running down his spine as his body trembled a little. He turned around and saw a huge centipede with two large wings on its back floating in the air, looking for something or someone.

This was a demonic beast of Level 6, comparable to a Spirit Origin Realm martial warrior. It is called the Soaring Centipede. Alex was not strong enough to do any harm to this centipede. He immediately stuck to the wall and started muttering in his heart: "It can't see me, can't see me, can't see me!"

If the Soaring Centipede were to notice him, Alex wouldn't be able from this place alive.

He tried to look at the centipede's attributes, however, for some reason, he couldn't see the system's prompt at all. It was as if the system was not there at all. This made Alex more and more anxious in his heart. However, for now, he couldn't do anything.

Not long after, he felt that the Soaring Centipede has left. After sensing this, Alex finally heaved a sigh of relief. If it would've attacked Alex, Alex would have been dead by now.

Such a thing happened the moment he came to this unknown place. This caused him to be on his guard once again as his alertness rose to the highest level.

He looked at the surroundings and started slowly walking forward, trying to find what this place is!

However, after a few minutes, Alex suddenly felt that something was amiss. He felt as if he had walked past this place. He was puzzled, however, he didn't stop. He also left behind a mark on the wall this time and once again started walking. But after a few minutes, he once again found himself arriving at the same place.

Alex tried many times, however, every time, he'll come to this place for some reason.

Finally, he decided not to waste time by just walking around all the time. Instead, he should first try to investigate what this place is. As expected, after some time, he finally realized that this should be a maze and he is currently trapped in the maze.

According to Atticus, Alex was still in the middle of the first trial. He didn't even know what the first trial actually is, however, he believed it must be related to the Nine Small Illusions in some ways.

After all, Atticus himself told Alex that with his current strength, he could only take the first trial for now since he couldn't even break the Nine Small Illusions. In the future, after he becomes strong enough to take the second trial and has the confidence to break the Ten Direction Illusion Array which is an Emperor Grade Illusion Array, he can come here again to continue the second trial.

"What's going on? Why would there be a maze in a place like this?" Alex muttered in shock.

After some serious consideration, Alex concludes that he should have fallen into illusion once again.

As the name says, Nine Small Illusions are nine different illusion formations of low grade. Together, they form a Royal Grade illusion formation called the Nine Small Illusions.

The first illusion of Nine Small Illusion was the forest and mountain. Killing the tiger and finally being able to climb the mountain made him break past the second illusion. Now, this should be the third illusion.

However, for some reason, his system was not responding to him, making him feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Sighing, Alex once again looked at the tall wall and then looked at the mark he left before. He guessed that the wall should really be here, what he was trapped in currently should be a maze-type formation.

"Let me see how powerful this maze formation is!"

Alex thought for a while before stepping forward. At the same time, he took out the Heavy Earth Sword.

As it is already explained, the nine low grade illusion formations together make the Royal Grade Nine Small Illusions. However, if separated, every formation can only be a low grade formation.

Right now, the formation Alex was aiming at was the maze formation that made him walk around in circles for a long time. It was just a low grade formation, how can it withstand a powerful strike from a Royal Rank Weapon like the Heavy Earth Sword!

With just a single random slash, the maze formation was broken and the true humongous wall was revealed in front of Alex. At the same time, a powerful aura surged in the surroundings, making Alex stop and look at his surroundings carefully.

"What a powerful aura!"

"It must be that Soaring Centipede and it must be resting right now as I can't sense the aura changing direction!" Alex's eyes lit up when he thought of Soaring Centipede.

However, Alex soon become alerted as there was still a very important issue at hand. There was a wall behind him, it means he could only walk forward. And the direction he has to walk in is the direction from where he sensed the aura of Soaring Centipede. If he were to run into the Soaring Centipede, he'll fell into big trouble.

He paused for a moment and pondered in his mind. However, it was at this point that his body began to react as if it has sensed something. Alex frowned and sensed carefully, only to feel that the reaction was coming from his blood and was reacting to something that is not far away from him.

For some reason, Alex's heart told him that there are some good stuff at some distance.

He also felt that the spirit energy at this place is rich, so it might really be possible for a treasure to appear here.

After pondering for a moment, he made a decision and continued to walk forward. He was very careful as he did not want to attract the attention of the Soaring Centipede by making any noise.

As he went deeper and deeper, the reaction from his blood was getting stronger and stronger, causing his blood to boil. For some reason, he has an institution that if he were to get the treasure he was sensing right now, his strength will definitely increase.

"What the hell? How is this possible?"

Thinking about the increase in his cultivation, just as Alex was happily about to continue walking, he suddenly noticed that his cultivation base has somehow increased to Golden Core Realm.

Before, Alex come to this place abruptly and was too shocked to see the majestic-looking wall and falling into the trap of maze formation. This diverted his attention and he didn't sense at all that his cultivation has somehow increased to the Level 4 of the Golden Core Stage.

Only when he thought about the term 'increase in cultivation' did he sense that his strength has increased. He sighed and patted half of his forehead and half of his front head with his hand.

However, it was at this moment that Alex was shocked once again. He looked at his hand with a stunned expression on his face. Then his expression changed and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"This is... This is not me!"

Alex exclaimed and carefully looked at his body, only to see that his body seems to be a tanned body with muscles in the right places. At the same time, his skin seems to be darker and his hair was pale brown in color. His height also seems to be longer than usual and he was currently wearing entirely different clothes than what he was wearing while he stepped into the Stairway to Chaos.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a hissing sound could be heard that fell into Alex's ears and pulled him back from the realm of complex thoughts.

When he realized where this hissing sound was coming from, he was so shocked that he immediately stopped and his face sank.

Clearly, this was the shriek of the Soaring Centipede.

He thought that he had been discovered by the Soaring Centipede due to him getting too close. However, he was wrong. After the Soaring Centipede let out a hiss, it rose into the air, flew over his head, and began to inspect the entire area inside the boundary of the big wall.

"Phuu!"

Alex heaved a sigh of relief. The incident just now almost scared him to death.

After the Soaring Centipede left, Alex took a look around and finally continued to walk. At the same time, he was racing his mind, thinking about what is going on. When did his body change so much?
