Alex brought Atif to a secluded alley and woke him up forcefully.
"This... Where am I?"
When Atif woke up, he was still in a daze. He first looked at the surroundings, only to realize that he was in some narrow passageway behind buildings, completely void of people.
But soon he realized that another person was present there. He raised his head, only to see Alex coldly looking at his changing expression.
"Alex White?"
Alex smiled upon hearing his name and then said: "Atif, let us talk about something very important. We have no enmity between us so I will not kill you. But to save your life, you must tell me about that person who told you to kill me, and you must tell me where that person is!"
"There is no need to ask him anything. I'm here!"
Before Atif could say anything, Alex heard a voice coming from his back. He turned back, only to see a man holding a blade in his hand standing with a prideful face. Alex could also see evilness and dark energy flashing in the man's eyes.
As for the blade in his hand, this blade was completely dark, and the hellish energy was overflowing on the blade. This was the Tenth Blade of Hell. And obviously, the person standing opposite Alex was the owner of the Tenth Blade of Hell.
Guessing the identity of the other person, Alex immediately looked at this person's attribute panel.
[Name: Xue.
Cultivation: Extreme-leveled Divine Lord Stage.
Martial Skills: Dark Blade Descent (False Skill), Blade Cutting Through The Heavens (False Skill), Sky Piercing Blade (False Skill), Evil Blade Slash (False Skill), Death Shadow Blade (False Skill), Blood Sucking Palm (Top Grade Celestial Skill), Multiple Blood Body (Top Grade Celestial Skill, ...)
Cultivation Technique: Blood Transformation Myriad Blade.
Special Physique: Supreme Blade Body.
Weapon: Hell's Tenth Blade (True Weapon).
Concept: 90% Blade Intent, 90% Law of Blood, 90% Law of Darkness, 80% Law of Earth.
Other Treasures: Space Beast Core, Venerate Exquisite Crystal, Evil Blood Crystal, Dark Flame Liquid, ...]
Alex was shocked when he looked at the information panel of Xue. He was surprised for a few reasons.
First, he never expected Xue to be an Extreme-leveled Divine Lord Stage martial warrior. According to his expectations and his master, Xue should only be a Holy Lord Stage martial warrior. But Xue surpassed his and his master's expectations for some reason.
Of course, Alex has no idea that when Xue came to the Essence Sky World, he really was just a Holy Lord Stage martial warrior. It is just that he encountered a Space Beast that changed everything.
Second, Xue's information panel was just like Valerio's information panel. There was no cultivation talent and unique talent.
Alex understood very well that there must be a special reason why the cultivation talent and unique talent are not showing in their information panel, it is just that he was completely unaware of the reason.
Third, although there was no True skill, just like his master's information panel, the martial arts skills in Xue's information panel were explained as False Skills. And there was also Top Grade Celestial Skill.
Fourth, just like his master's weapon, the Sky Piercing Bow, Xue's Tenth Blade of Hell was also a True Weapon.
Anyway, everything on Xue's information panel was a treasure for Alex. So. he immediately started replicating the treasures.
Unfortunately...
[Replication Failed, the Originator doesn't have enough Soul Force!]
[Replication Failed, the Originator doesn't have enough Soul Force!]
[Replication Failed, the Originator doesn't have enough Soul Force!]
[Replication Failed, the Originator doesn't have enough Soul Force!]
All the treasures Alex tried to replicate failed. Alex could not help but bitterly shake his head. He was trying to replicate Xue's martial arts skills explained as the False Skills but failed.
Since that was the case, he immediately tried to replicate something else.
[Replication Successful! Congratulations to the Originator for successfully replicating Top Grade martial arts skill, Multiple Blood Body]
[Replication Successful! Congratulations to the Originator for successfully replicating 90% Blade Intent, 90% Law of Blood, 90% Law of Darkness, and 80% Law of Earth.]
[Replication Failed, the Originator doesn't have enough Soul Force!]
[Replication Failed, the Originator doesn't have enough Soul Force!]
[Replication Successful! Congratulations to the Originator for successfully replicating Dark Flame Liquid.]
He was able to replicate only a few things. As for other treasures, he failed to replicate them, for his soul force was not strong enough.
Alex could only sigh. It was also at this moment Alex understood why he was heavily injured by Xue in the different time and space once lived by Verom.
He immediately understood that he was no match for Xue. Even if he use the power of his special physique and bloodline, he might not be able to kill Xue. After all, he was too weak to truly fight against the current Xue.
First of all, Xue was an Extreme-leveled Divine Lord. And Alex could easily guess that Xue could also fight against people above his cultivation base. Otherwise, he would not have been able to make the Tenth Blade of Hell recognize him as its master.
Second, Xue has a list of False Skills while Alex doesn't have a single False Skill. Of course, he has Unique Skills, but these skills can backlash that Alex could not afford to suffer from when he was still inside the secret realm. After all, he has no idea when Xue might strike back to kill him.
And finally, Xue has a True Weapon. This weapon must be exceedingly powerful, far surpassing Alex's current imagination.
Thus, Alex came to a conclusion.
He could not afford to fight Xue, at least not now. He has to do something to delay Xue from attacking him and increase his strength in the shortest time possible.
Alex immediately thought of an idea. Then he looked at Xue and said: "So... You are the holder of Tenth Blade of Hell, Xue!"
"Oh my!" When Xue heard Alex calling his name, he laughed: "So you know me. How much do you know about me though?"
"Nothing much!" Alex shook his head, "But I did think you should be just a Holy Lord. I did not expect to be a Divine Lord, an Extreme-leveled one at that!"
Xue laughed and shook his head, explaining: "I did not expect you to be capable of even guessing my strength. As expected of the successor of the Frost Moon Emperor. When I came to the Essence Sky World, I was indeed only a Holy Lord, but then I obtained an opportunity that helped me raise my cultivation to the Extreme Level of Divine Lord Stage."
"Anyway, no matter what my cultivation base is, you are destined to die under my hand. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for becoming the successor of Frost Moon Emperor."
As Xue spoke, he pointed his blade at the Snowflake mark on Alex's hand.
Alex shook his head and spoke: "Look at you. You are so confident in killing me? Are you sure you could do that?"
"I am not a fool to directly attack without knowing your true strength. I observed your battle with that Atif brat. I have to admit you are extremely powerful for someone at the Initial Level of the Holy Lord Stage. However, if you think you can stop me with just that much strength of yours, then let me tell you the reality. You are wrong. You could never stop me. If I want, I could kill you right now with a single attack!"
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Xue's words, Alex laughed loudly and shook his head, saying: "Are you really sure that you have witnessed 100% of my true strength!"
"What do you mean?" Xue finally showed some doubt when he saw how Alex was laughing. His face was full of mocking expressions for him that made him frown deeply. He did not like how Alex was laughing at him.
"I mean, Atif is not qualified to make me fight with my true strength. Do you really think I have given my all in my previous battle, knowing that you are the one behind the appearance of this secret realm? I knew very well that this secret realm is a trap laid down for me, and knowing that, I still dare to enter the secret realm. Do you really think I don't have a few trump cards under my sleeves?"
Xue gritted his teeth in hatred. When he heard Alex saying that he was the reason behind the appearance of the secret realm and that this secret realm is a trap created by him to catch Alex, Xue immediately understood that Alex must be right, for he dared to enter the secret realm despite knowing the truth.
He also confirmed that Alex must not have used his 100% strength in his previous battle. Otherwise, how could Alex still dare to stand in front of him and laugh, and mock him like this?
