System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 202 Ch 202: Strange Occurrence

"Looks like the danger has begun!"

Rishi's brows slightly moved. He looked at the vortex slowly shrink and said in a low voice.

This should be the center of the desert. Although it had yet to truly enter, this crisis had already occurred.

"Swoosh!"

His fat figure moved slightly. A layer of spirit energy had appeared under Rishi's feet. In this way, he would be able to sense any danger ahead of time.

As he circulated his spirit energy, Rishi's speed gradually increased. Although there were dangers everywhere, Rishi was still able to escape these dangers with some difficulties.

"Swoosh!"

After walking for more than three days, Rishi's stopped to rest for some time.

On his way, he encountered many small and big dangers. He had also encountered some poisonous insects along the way, but their lethality was only average. It was not enough to create a deterrent force.

After resting for some time, Rishi once again continued his journey. He wanted to return to the sect as soon as possible.

As Rishi was walking, he had already started to withdraw his spirit energy. Slowly, he used the strength of his physical body to walk, tempering the strength of his physical body.

As he walked, the danger ahead of him became wilder and wilder.

Just like that, Rishi continued to move forward in the form of a physical body. The sand within turned into a sharp force that continuously swept across his body. As the terrifying sand continued to pound on his physical body, the robe on Rishi's body gradually began to crack, and the upper half of his body gradually began to show.

As he moved forward, he gradually went deeper and deeper. The wild wind around him also became stronger and stronger, and the destructive force it produced was also greater.

However, as Rishi's body was constantly being hammered by the sand, his physical body had clearly grown a little stronger. Now, even though he was no longer using spirit energy to protect himself, the collision with sand didn't affect him much.

However, many burns appeared on his skin. He was wounded along the way by dealing with many demonic beasts and other dangers. He kept circulating his cultivation technique that constantly repaired and tempered his body, making it stronger and stronger.

Finally, he reached a windless area. Rishi started to make some adjustments. He took out some food from the storage ring and started to eat.

After eating the food, Rishi once again embarked on his journey forward.

Just like that, Rishi kept moving forward. Apart from eating, he didn't stop at all. Along the way, his state of mind was constantly changing. His skin had become unusually bronze.

However, there was a sparkling luster on his bronze skin, as if there was a layer of divine light protecting his body. No one would have thought that Rishi's body had already started cracking, repairing, and tempering as the sand continued to hit him.

And the reason behind this mysterious process was a sparkling bead that Rishi kept holding in his hand along the way. This bead was also the reason why he is being attacked and chased after by many people.

On this day...

"Rumble!"

Wild sand danced wildly in the sky. In the void, numerous huge wind-blowing began to circle around. The aura that was formed was like a huge yellow dragon, stirring up sand and causing a violent storm.

Wherever it went, a layer of terrifying dust would be forcefully blown up. Under the dust, everything was extremely smooth, as if it was cut by a sword.

"Death Storm!"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Rishi muttered in a low voice. Hesitation flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what he should do now. The situation has already become worse. If he is to be caught in this storm, he didn't know what will happen to him.

Sandstorms are the most common situation in the desert, but there were also different types of storms. Some of them didn't have much destructive power. If one is lucky, even if one is caught up in the storm, it wouldn't cause much damage.

However, there was also another type of storm. The lethality of this storm was terrifying. It was even one of the most terrifying dangers lurking in this desert.

This kind of storm was called the Death Storm.

Once someone is caught up in this storm, their death is certain. No one has been able to walk out alive after being caught in this deadly storm.

Shifting his gaze from the Death Storm, Rishi focused on the bead in his hand and muttered: "I hope you'll work and help me this time also. Just save me from this storm!"

"Rumble..."

As Rishi was muttering, numerous wind-blowing began to fuse together. Following which, the storm gradually approached Rishi. This storm seemed to be connected to the sky and the ground.

Even though there was still quite a distance between them, Rishi could still feel it. The powerful suppressive force of the storm was crushing on him.

Even though Rishi's body had been tempered for a while and had undergone a major transformation because of the mysterious bead, he still wasn't confident that he could withstand it.

However, facing such a world-shaking Death Storm, Rishi just stood there without moving. His eyes were completely focused on the bead in his hand.

After a few minutes, the storm arrived in front of him, and he was sucked inside the storm. The moment Rishi was sucked inside the storm, he felt like countless swords were attacking him from every direction, causing many wounds to appear on his body.

He could not do anything in his current situation. He couldn't even circulate his spirit energy any longer after being caught in the Death Storm.

He could feel his body being cut by sharp wind blades. And the sand in wind was dealing another level of damage to his body. At the same time, he also felt like his body was being crushed by immense pressure. His bones started cracking. He groaned in pain and after enduring the unbearable pain for a long time, Rishi lost his consciousness. And this was also the time when the mysterious bead in his hand shone brightly and a layer of energy enveloped Rishi's body.

Rishi was unaware of what was happening inside the Death Storm. Before he lost consciousness, he thought that he is going to die.

.....

After an unknown period of time, when Rishi opened his eyes, he saw a clear sky. He tried to sit down and noticed that his body was feeling very comfortable. He was surprised and hurriedly checked his body, only to notice that there was not a single trace of wounds on his body.

"What is happening?"

Rishi was surprised. He didn't know what happened after he lost his consciousness and neither did he know how his injuries healed. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he suddenly remembered something. He checked his surroundings hurriedly but didn't find anything.

"Where is that bead?"

Rishi immediately became anxious. He hurriedly checked his body and then checked his spatial ring. But the bead was nowhere to be seen.

It was at this time that Rishi suddenly felt his heart throbbing heavily, and in the next instant, his surroundings changed.

He was puzzled. He didn't know what happened just now or where he was now. He looked ahead and saw a group of people standing in front of a huge mountain.

In this place, there were many mountains, but a massive mountain stood tall that seemed to connect to the sky. In front of this massive mountain, all of the other mountains seemed incredibly small, like a few sprouts surrounding a gigantic tree that reached the sky.

Rumble!

The ground suddenly trembled as countless demonic beasts rushed out from a forest. There was an army of thousands of demonic beasts, and they were extremely loud.

There were also cultivators flying on their swords in front of those demonic beasts. They dove through the trees incredibly quickly, looking like sharp arrows.

When Rishi saw this scene, he was shocked. He wanted to run but found that some sort of mysterious energy is binding him to this place. He could not move at all.

Rishi laughed bitterly and could only continue observing what was happening in front of him.

He saw that the person in lead was a man with one eye. He was a bit skinny and had tanned skin, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Hang on everyone, we need to escape while that Celestial Rank Demonic Beast hasn't appeared yet!"

His white robe was spotted with blood; it was evident that he had gone through a ferocious battle.

"Yes!" Hundreds of cultivators following behind him shouted out in unison. Their eyes were completely red in terror and fury.

"Hahaha! You group of ants, where do you think you're running off to?"

However, at this time, a burst of arrogant laughter sounded out as an incredibly domineering figure leaped halfway down the tall mountain.
