Chapter 246 Ch 246: Peak Martial King
When Dark Wind Demon Lord's corpse fell to the ground, a smile appeared on Alex's aged face. With the help of this corpse along with other Demons, he was sure to become a peak Martial King in a short period of time.
With the tempering of his physique, blood, and energy with the help of the blood energy of Dark Wind Demon Lord, he could reach a higher level at a speed that no one could even think of. And all of this was because of the Abyssal Pearl inside his body.
While Alex was deep in thought, Shirley, Muffy, and the others in the distance were already dumbfounded. Their minds were filled with the charm of Alex slaying a Dark Wind Demon Lord with his sword.
An old man had actually crossed many stages and killed a peak Martial King Stage demon. If this event were to spread out, perhaps the entire Inferno Kingdom would be shaken.
There were many peak Crystal Transformation Stage martial warriors in the Inferno Kingdom who were over two hundred years old, but this was the first time they had seen an old man who had crossed stages and killed a peak Martial King Stage demon like the Dark Wind Demon Lord. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
The Inferno Kingdom had such an existence, it was a thing to talk about. Learning of what happened here today, all humans in this world will raise their heads high in pride!
Shirley, Muffy, and the others were shocked and excited. All this while, they had crossed one or two levels to kill enemies. But now that they had witnessed the appearance of a legend who killed a demon by crossing an entire cultivation stage, how could they not be excited?
Alex walked to the front of the Dark Wind Demon Lord's corpse and waved his hand, putting the Dark Wind Demon Lord's corpse into the Space Ring. He glanced at Shirley and others' condition which could be said to be not bad and nodded his head in satisfaction.
He looked at them and spoke softly. "I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. All of you should go back to the city!"
"Yes, thank you, senior, for saving our lives!"
Shirley, Muffy, and the others opened their mouths and thanked Alex. They also wanted to persuade him to stay, but in the end, they all said nothing.
When they raised their heads, Alex's figure had already disappeared from the mountainside, leaving behind only a devastating scene. It was a sign of the miraculous battle just now.
"An existence like Senior must have his own matters to attend to. I only hope that we can look up to Senior's heroic bearing again!"
Shirley and Muffy swept his eyes across the deathly silent mountain forest. Their eyes were flickering with admiration.
.....
Alex soon entered Layer Five.
On a mountain in Layer Five, Alex was sitting cross-legged in a cave. In front of him was a huge corpse of a Demon. It was the true body of the dead Dark Wind Demon Lord.
This demon was huge in size. If it wasn't for the fact that the cave was big enough, its true appearance wouldn't be inferior to this huge monster.
Alex adjusted his mind, narrowed his eyes, and then extended his hands to touch the Dark Wind Demon Lord's corpse, crazily absorbing the enormous Dark Wind Demon Lord's blood energy into the Abyssal Pearl.
At the same time, the Abyssal Pearl released streams of energy that tempered his body, blood, and energy.
The massive amount of blood energy and the impact of the power to temper one's body caused Alex's entire body to tremble continuously. Blood seeped out from all parts of his body, making him look like a person made of blood.
Alex gritted his teeth. Although his face was twisted in pain, his gaze was extremely firm.
All the blood in his body was forcefully shaken out by the enormous body tempering energy. It was as if he was changing blood for Alex. If it wasn't for the fact that Alex had lived two lives and had extraordinary experiences, he really wouldn't have had such a strong will to bear such tremendous pain.
Although the pain was great, the effect it brought was very obvious. Alex's skin became crystal clear, and there seemed to be a red light circulating around it. Not only that, but his white hair also gradually turned gray, as if it was going to turn from white to black.
Boundless blood energy fluctuated around his body, and a vigorous aura made Alex not look like an old man at all. Instead, he looked more like a middle-aged man in the prime of his life.
After an unknown period of time, Alex opened his eyes. Two rays of bright light shot out and pierced through the wall in front of him. Feeling the enormous vitality and the strong physique in his body, Alex wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
The effect was very obvious, but the process was not something that could be endured by humans. Even at this moment, Alex still had lingering fear in his heart.
"As expected, I have reached Peak Martial King Stage!" Alex took a deep breath and murmured softly.
With the help of the Abyssal Pearl, his cultivation journey really became too easy. Sometimes, Alex even suspected that even his system's help in his cultivation was slower than that of Abyssal Pearl.
But it was to be expected. After all, while Abyssal Pearl could help him in only one way, his Replicating System could help him in every direction. With the help of the system, he would never lack resources to cultivate, he would never have to truly practice a martial arts skill, and never have to sit down for years in order to comprehend the Laws and Concepts of the world.
All he has to do is to replicate, and every treasure in the world will be his. He could "rob" a person of all their treasures without letting them know.
Alex nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at his cultivation base. After arriving in the Fifth Layer, he had already consumed all the demons' corpses he had stored in his spatial ring.
Oy was now time to continue hunting.
Alex's mission was to survive and try his best to change the destined outcome of this war against demons.
Alex knew he could not do anything with his current pitiful strength. If he wants to do anything, he has to increase his strength quickly and increase it to the point where he could at least stand in the same position that the Fire Emperor is standing.
Only then could he think of changing the fate of the world.
Alex took a deep breath, stood up, and stretched his muscles and bones. He could feel the massive energy flowing in his body. Alex nodded his head in satisfaction. His cultivation base had advanced by leaps and bounds. Along with his cultivation base, his vitality had also increased by leaps and bounds, making him no longer have the feeling of aging and decay. Instead, he was filled with vitality.
"Demons? Hmph!"
A cold light flashed across his eyes. With a cold snort, he took a step forward and appeared ten miles away in an instant.
.....
At the same time, in the Dark Cloud Mountain Range that was located in the Fifth Layer, numerous huge demons were hiding in the forest. The entire mountain range was filled with a heavy and oppressive aura. It was as if stepping into this mountain range would cause one to suffer endless blows.
On top of the mountain range, ten figures covered in Black Fog stood with their hands behind their backs. Their scarlet eyes looked in the direction of the Fourth Layer. The aura that filled their bodies caused the space around them to distort.
"I didn't expect that Dark Wind Demon Lord would be killed not long after he entered the Fourth Layer. According to the scene before his death shown in the Death Stone connected to Dark Wind Demon Lord's life, he was killed by an old man. It seems like the old man from the Human Race who appeared in the Fourth Layer isn't weak!" One of the figures said in a cold voice. He was also a peak Martial King Stage Demon.
"We have gathered here to kill that guy who dared to touch Dark Wind Demon Lord. No matter how strong he is, how can he be a match for us?" Another Demon stood up and said disdainfully.
"This time, our Demon Race is going to take down the Inferno Kingdom. That's why we have invaded all the layers of the Inferno Kingdom. We can't let this old man destroy our plan! Although the disturbance is a bit big, as long as we kill him, it doesn't matter!"
Another demon stood up and said with killing intent flashing in his eyes.
