System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 266 Ch 266: Celestial Blood Crystal

There were two rooms on either side of this space. Alex did not look in the other rooms but followed the little fellow directly into the real cave.

And what he saw just now were only the outer parts. The true core was still at the stone door in the middle of the hall. However, it was obvious that the little guy could not open it.

The little guy used its head and pointed at the stone door, then pointed at Alex. The meaning was extremely clear. It wanted him to open the stone door.

Alex did not hesitate at all and used his hand to touch the stone door. Just as he was about to look for a mechanism, the stone door suddenly opened by itself, startling him.

The little guy saw that Alex had opened the stone door and was extremely happy, and immediately started dancing with joy.

Alex then entered the stone room with curiosity written all over his face.

The room was very normal. There was nothing inside except for a painting in the middle. The painting was that of an old man with the demeanor of a celestial being.

Alex treated the old man with respect, not to mention the fact that this was probably the cave residence left behind by the old man.

After that, just as he was about to leave and go out to see what good stuff there was, an enormous aura was released from the portrait.

That aura was extremely marvelous, to the point where it was incomparable. It was boundless, to the extent that he did not even have the slightest intention of resisting this aura. Furthermore, he feared if he made any unusual movements, the opponent could kill him with just a thought.

One could imagine how terrifying this aura was.

It was strong and seemed to be unparalleled. Alex even had an illusion that this kind of aura should not exist in this world.

"Boom!"

Alex released his imposing aura as well, as he wanted to use this as a means to resist. However, his momentum was quickly dispersed. He didn't even have the chance to fight back.

Alex then coldly asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Nice momentum!"

"It is already not bad to have such an aura when you are just a Peak Extreme Void Stage martial warrior. It is just that you are still weak."

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of the portrait. If one looked carefully, one would see that this was the old man in the portrait.

Alex did not say anything, but the old man continued: "Your talent is not bad, and in the future, you will definitely become something great. Today, I will pass on to you the martial arts skill that I created before I died. It is called Celestial Domination. I hope you can cultivate it well."

Alex was stunned. He did not expect to suddenly obtain a skill out of nowhere just like that.

As the old man spoke, a ray of light shot out from the old man's finger. After the ray of light entered Alex's head, it turned into a huge wave of information, immediately filling Alex's entire mind with it.

This made Alex's head sink, and his spirit seem extremely exhausted. It seemed the content of this skill was too profound for the small part of Alex's soul that was possessing Dalgo's body to endure. It put up too much stress on his mind.

"Alright. Now that I have completed my last wish, my soul can rest in peace."

After saying this, the old man's figure slowly became lighter.

"Also, although I did not leave anything else, there is a piece of Celestial Blood Crystal in this cave. It has a very good body refining effect. Cultivating the <Celestial Domination> requires you to cooperate with the Celestial Blood Crystal. So take it as a gift from me."

After which, the old man's silhouette disappeared, as though he had never appeared. And the moment the old man disappeared, the portrait on the wall also disappeared.

However, Alex knew that everything that happened here couldn't be more real. Whether it was the picture that disappeared before his eyes or the <Celestial Domination> in his mind, everything proved that what happened just now was real.

"Little one, let's go!"

Alex looked at the little guy and spoke gently. The little beast wagged its tail, happily following Alex out.

After that, Alex searched for the Celestial Blood Crystal within the cave for a long time but didn't even find a shadow of it.

"Could this Celestial Blood Crystal really not be inside this cave?"

"That's impossible!"

"Previously, that old man clearly said that he was inside the cave."

In the end, Alex helplessly arrived in front of the little guy, squatted on the ground, and said: "Little fellow, aren't you a demonic beast? Try smelling Celestial Blood Crystal with your dog nose and see if you could find its location!"

"Roar!"

Hearing Alex call it a dog, the little demonic beast immediately shouted, looking as if it wanted to eat the human.

"Alright! Alright! You are not a dog, I said it wrongly, I apologize to you. Now, can you use your nose to properly smell the Celestial Blood Crystal?" Alex waved his hand and asked helplessly.

Only then did the little demonic beast raise its head, looking extremely arrogant which Alex felt that it was funny.

But to be honest, this move was quite smart.

Not long after, the little guy began to shout loudly and ran toward the right side of the cave. Alex followed closely behind.

When they entered the stone room, the little guy directly rushed to the wall in front of them and shouted at the wall, and then shouted at Alex. It was obvious that they were telling him that there was the scent of a Celestial Blood Crystal was coming from inside.

"Inside the wall? Is there a mechanism here?"

But thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. When he entered the Inheritance Room, he did not trigger the quest mechanism.

Could it be that this place was the same as well?

Alex stretched out his right hand again and touched the stone wall in front of him.

As expected, when Alex touched the wall, the mountain wall immediately started trembling, and following that, a gigantic stone door directly extended from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the top of the stone room.

On the other side of the stone room, the situation was clear to see.

At the same time, a strong wave of energy undulated out from the stone room, causing Alex's body to feel extremely uncomfortable.

Once Alex saw all of this, he knew that he had not found the wrong place. This might really be the place where Celestial Blood Crystal was located.

When Alex walked into the stone room, a pool that was close to a few dozen meters wide appeared in front of him. This pool was actually filled with blood that was continuously flowing.

And fifteen meters above the pool, a bright red octagonal-shaped crystal was floating without anything's support.

"So this is the Celestial Blood Crystal." Alex looked at the crystal floating in midair and muttered. Then he looked at the Blood Pool below that actually caused the Abyssal Pearl inside his body to tremble.

Alex could tell that the Abyssal Pearl seemed to be excited at the sight of this Blood Pool. It seemed that the blood in this Blood Pool is special.

Alex understood he couldn't waste this opportunity. He decided to first absorb all the Blood stored in this Blood Pool.

"I just have no idea how much stronger I will become after completely absorbing the blood stored in this blood pool."

"As for the Celestial Blood Crystal, I'll take it after absorbing the blood first!"

After that, without thinking for long, Alex directly jumped into the Blood Pool.

Right now, he was in a rush to increase his strength. Naturally, he would not let go of any opportunity to do so. Now that there was such a good opportunity, he naturally had to make full use of it.

No matter what danger lay ahead, he was not afraid.

"Plop!"

After Alex stripped off his clothes, his naked body directly jumped into the Blood Pool.

Only when his entire body entered the Blood Pool did an extremely tyrannical energy directly seeped into the surface of his body.

An intense pain suddenly spread to all of Alex's nerves, and that feeling of pain made him cry out loudly.

There seemed to be some kind of strange strange energy inside this blood pool that was affecting his body.

And for some reason, although Abyssal Pearl was extremely excited, it was not absorbing the blood from the blood pool. It seemed to be sending some kind of message to Alex.

Alex frowned but could not understand what the Abyssal Pearl was trying to tell him. It is because of the intense pain which didn't let him think clearly.
