System: Replicating The Heavens - Chapter 320 Ch 320: The First Nirvana

“No matter how many tricks you have hidden in your sleeves, your outcome is already determined. You will die today and here.”

Xue arrogantly said with a proud face. No matter how powerful Alex is, in the end, he was still just an Initial-leveled Holy Lord. He was destined to die here.

“You sure?” Alex smiled and asked in a strange tone that caused Xue to doubt about his trump cards.

Alex also understood the essence of time very well. He has to do something immediately and escape, otherwise, he would definitely be heavily injured by Xue. Escaping in the face of danger is sometimes a cowardly act, but sometimes, it is also a clever and very essential step to take that saves one’s life in a dangerous situation.

Without any second thought, Alex immediately used his ability to teleport and disappeared, causing Xue to be stunned.

“What? Where is he?”

Xue was shocked and started looking for Alex but failed to find Alex.

“How did he do it? It is as if he suddenly dis… Teleported!”

Alex did not leave Golden Stone City. The next moment he appeared was at the other end of the Golden Stone City.

At first, he planned to leave this city and find a place to improve his cultivation, but then he suddenly thought of illusions outside. The outside of Golden Stone City was completely filled with countless illusions, and the source of all illusions was hidden somewhere in this city.

Alex knew that as long as leave the Golden Stone City, Xue could immediately detect his presence because of the illusions. So, although the most dangerous, Golden Stone City is also the safest place for Alex to be.

Without wasting his time, Alex hurriedly found an unremarkably small inn to stay. He paid for five nights and told the innkeeper not to disturb him even if he does not come out for months. When he will come out, he will give the innkeeper the rest of the money as well as some rewards.

The innkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately agreed.

Then Alex went up and closed the door of the room before swallowing the Undying Fruit. This treasure was the only one that could help Alex improve his cultivation.

The moment Alex swallowed the Undying Fruit, he felt as if he has fallen into a river of magma. His body, blood, and soul started burning to a terrifying degree. Surprisingly, there was no trace of flame on his body at all. And the place he was sitting was also not affected.

“Arghh!”

Alex cried out in pain and tried to suppress it. It was at this time he saw the medicinal properties of the Undying Fruit dividing into nine energy balls that entered his soul directly. Then, one of them suddenly shoot into his soul, and “BOOM”, exploded into countless fragments of light and spread everywhere inside Alex’s body.

“Aahhhh!”

Alex screamed loudly, for the pain that attacked him was boundless. Alex felt as if countless sharp needles were stabbing into his flesh, bone, and even soul. This pain was something Alex could not define, he never imagined he would one day suffer such pain.

Fortunately, this was the Undying Fruit. Undying Fruit causes the one who swallows it to go through nine nirvanas. No matter how much pain one suffers, one will never die until he has already gone through nine nirvanas.

The pain was so terrifying that Alex soon lost consciousness. But even so, his unconscious body could be seen twitching non-stop due to pain. Even though Alex has fainted, he could still feel pain through the connection his body has with him.

One could imagine just how terrifying the pain was, and it was a burning pain that was slowly burning every bit of Alex’s body.

At a certain point in time, Alex’s entire body was burnt to ashes. The only thing left was a ball-like substance inside a sphere of light. Maybe, this was Alex’s soul being protected by the sphere of light.

Time started passing and no one knows what changes were happening inside the sphere of light.

After an unknown period of time, a bright light suddenly brighten up the entire room and countless fragments of energy could be seen gathering at the place where Alex’s ashes were scattered.

Suddenly, a miracle happened.

A miraculous scene appeared.

If anyone would have been here to witness this scene, they would have thought that they must be dreaming or a demon was being born.

It is because, fleshes, bones, nerves, blood, everything related to a human body was slowly appearing, as if everything was being created by a mysterious energy in an orderly manner. But the speed was very slow. It took full two days for a new body to appear. This was Alex’s body. He looked the same and had the same aura, but there was still something very different about him.

When Alex’s body was completely ready, the sphere of light suddenly shot into Alex’s mind and disappeared.

“Wooofuuu!”

Alex suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath at the same time. His eyes were opened so wide that it seemed as if his pupils will pop out of his eye socket.

“Phuu!” “Phuu!” “Phuu!”

After taking the first deep breath and then letting it out, Alex started gasping for breath. Sweat instantly covered his face and back.

When he calmed down, he looked at his body first. He was completely naked. His clothes were nowhere to be found. And surprisingly, there was no trace of ash on the floor as well.

He hurriedly took out a set of clothes from his spatial ring that he kept on his finger for show and wore it on his body. Then he felt his cultivation.

As expected, his cultivation improved from the Initial Level of the Holy Lord Stage to the Perfection Level of the Holy Lord Stage. But other than his cultivation, Alex could feel that there were many others changes as well.

He closed his eyes and tried to feel those changes, but suddenly, his vision darkened and eight balls of energy came into view. These eight energy balls were shining in his soul and were waiting for Alex’s summon.

Alex immediately knew that these eight energy balls were the eight changes of nirvana that he was left with. As long as he willed, he could start going through second nirvana, then third nirvana, then fourth nirvana, and so on.

Taking a deep breath, Alex looked at his own information panel.

There were many changes in his information panel. First of all, his cultivation increased. Second, his cultivation talent and unique talent went into “Growth Type” status.

Surprisingly, when Alex looked at Verom’s information panel, there showed “five years left until the final evolution under the effect of Undying Fruit”. But in his case, the period of five years was not there.

Alex could not understand the reason.

Third, Alex’s both special physiques improved by 1%. Although it was just 1%, but the improvement in his physical strength was terrifying. Alex even had the feeling that he could go against Xue with his physical body alone and will not be at disadvantage.

Fourth, the Golden Flame Scorpion King Bloodline and Earth-scaled Dragon Bloodline disappeared. Instead, his Primordial Chaos Bloodline increased from 0.1% to 0.5%.

He has only gone through one nirvana, but the improvement in his strength was terrifying.

Alex could go through the second nirvana immediately, but he really did not have the strength to suffer that kind of pain again. Although the pain has long disappeared, it was so terrifying that Alex could still feel it with just his thought.
