The surrounding ground trembled a little and waves of oppressive power were emitted from the air the moment the old man said these words. From this alone, one could imagine the extent of an Origin Sea Stage powerhouse.
Alex, on the other hand, remained calm. he had already expected this kind of reaction from the old man so he was not that shocked.
Instead, he completely ignored the old man and shifted his attention to Zhu Yun, and looked at her attribute panel.
Alex's eyes once again widened upon seeing these rich attributes. If he were to say, then he would say that Zhu Yun's attributes were even richer than the demonic cultivator Zaal.
His eyes lit up as he took a deep breath and started duplicating what he needed.
[Consumed 100,000 Energy Points. Duplication Successful. Obtained Star River Sword Art.]
[Consumed 500,000 Energy Points. Duplication Successful. Obtained 5% Comprehension of Law of Ice.]
[Consumed 300,000 Energy Points. Duplication Successful. Obtained 1% Comprehension of Law of Wind.]
[Consumed....]
[....]
[Duplication Failed! Not Enough Energy Point To Duplicate the Extreme Ice Sage Bloodline (Saint Grade).]
Alex duplicated all the treasures from Zhu Yun's attribute panel. However, he failed to duplicate the Extreme Ice Sage Bloodline. His remaining Energy Point was not enough to duplicate this bloodline.
It was not out of Alex's calculation. After all, it took him a large number of Energy Points just to duplicate a Low-Grade Bloodline and Special Physique. And the Ice Sage Bloodline was actually the Saint Grade Bloodline. The amount of Energy Points required to duplicate this bloodline must be numbered in millions. And the Energy Point in his possession was now less than 500,000 points after duplicating other treasures.
So, it is no wonder that the duplication failed.
At this moment, Alex decided in his heart to become friends with Zhu Yun so that in the future, he could duplicate her bloodline.
Alex then chose to fuse with the treasures. He first felt a wave of pain which disappeared in the next second. After that, he felt warm energy waving thoroughly inside his body, changing tempering with his body and changing something. At the same time, he felt a large amount of information appearing in his mind.
Everything happened in just less than 10 seconds of time, so no one noticed Alex's abnormality.
After fusing with the treasures, he once again looked at his own Attribute Panel.
Alex's face turned with excitement. But he knew right now was not the time to get excited. So he took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
It was also the time when he heard Zhu Yun suddenly shouting at him, "Hey you, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, he'll kill you!"
On the other hand, the old man chuckled, and said, "Zhu Yun, you should take care of yourself first!"
With that, he increased his aura as he prepared to play with this Innate Stage martial warrior who just barged into the cave and disturbed him. Not only this, this puny cultivator actually dared to ignore him. So he decided to kill Alex right now.
"Buzz!"
A huge wave of pressure landed on Alex, causing his clothes to flutter. However, the scene that the old man imagined did not happen. Alex, a kid at the Level 9 of Innate Stage, did not kneel down and remained standing.
How is this possible?
The demonic cultivator's pupils constricted. He suddenly felt that there was a strange power devouring his aura on this young man in front of him.
"You... You should just die!" He pressed his palm down once again. This time, the pressure was even stronger. A mountain-like weight landed on Alex's body. With him standing on the ground at the center, a circular deep pit appeared.
Zhu Yun closed her eyes, unwilling to see Alex's bloodied appearance.
Suddenly, she heard the old man's alarmed and uncertain voice.
"How could that be? You're using my pressure to temper your body!" The old man felt both shock and anger.
Alex's eyes were closed, his hands behind his back. Under this terrifying pressure, the muscles and bones throughout his body constantly let out 'kacha kacha' sounds.
When the old man's pressure descended on his body, he once again discovered another benefit of cultivating the Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation. The First Layer of this technique started circulating under the pressure on its own and started tempering his body.
The sound coming out from his body was like a drum beating, resounding continuously.
After some time, Alex suddenly opened his eyes with a glint in his eyes.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
The old man felt as if he had been toyed with by the ant in front of him. An Innate Stage martial warrior was actually able to remain safe and sound under his suppression. Not only this, this Innate Stage martial warrior even benefited from his pressure, tempering his body. This was a humiliation to him, a demonic cultivator!
"You are just an existence like an ant, I will dig out your heart!" The demonic cultivator suddenly extended his hand and a claw condensed from spiritual energy grabbed at Alex.
It's over!
This time, this boy is dead for sure!
Thinking like this, Zhu Yun closed her eyes once again. She was sure that the young man before her will be dead in the next few seconds!
This demonic cultivator was an existence that had once destroyed a Sect in the Middle Land.
Even she, a Heavenly Completion Stage martial warrior who chased down this old man from the Middle Land to this Wasteland was unable to do anything to the old man, instead, she herself was trapped into the formation laid down by the old man.
Even she doesn't have the confidence to get out from her alive. How could an Innate Stage martial warrior possibly survive under the attacks of the old man?
However, she suddenly heard Alex's cold voice, saying, "Old man, you don't have what it takes to kill me." Alex coldly said.
What!
Zhu Yun opened her eyes and looked at Alex in disbelief.
Even the old man was frozen in place. He had been cultivating for many years and had experienced many things. However, no one ever has talked to him like this.
This ant in front of him was simply too calm for an Innate Stage martial warrior!
The old man thought that Alex must not be alone here. There must be other people present, looking at everything in the dark. this must be the reason why Alex is so calm and dared to talk to him like this.
"The Profound Star Sect only sent an Innate Stage brat here and the main team is hiding their heads between their tails outside somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to strike. And you even call yourselves a righteous sect. Get the hell out here for your father!" The old man suddenly roared loudly.
As the old man roared, the cave began to shake and rubble began to fall from the ceiling.
"I'm afraid you misunderstood." Alex looked at the old man and said indifferently. He then pointed at Zhu Yun, who was trapped in the formation and again said, "I'm not from her sect. I don't even know her. I came alone."
What!
The old man was stunned after hearing Alex's words.
Is this kid crazy?
