System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 229 Ch 229: Illusion Or Reality?

_Profound Star Sect_

Elder Valerio brought Alex inside the D Grade Dimension Gate. There, he threw Alex on top of a small mound full of sand.

Alex was still trapped in the illusion. This illusion was much stronger than the previous one.

Previously, he was able to break the illusion by using the Myriad Illusion Talent.

However, this time, even after using the Myriad Illusion Talent, he failed to break the illusion.

Although his master told him not to try to break the illusion using his Myriad Illusion Talent, but the Illusion was really so powerful and dangerous that Alex was left with no choice but to use the Myriad Illusion Talent.

Nevertheless, he still failed.

Currently, Alex was trapped in a land full of red thunder and inferno storms. He was trying to save his life with all his might.

Although he knew everything is just an illusion, but this illusion was so real that it could not be more real. He could feel his skin burning whenever he come in contact with Inferno Storm. He could feel immense pain from the burn on his body. He could feel his entire body go numb and his bones breaking with every strike of red lightning that seemed to be terrifying enough to destroy the world.

The land was in the process of destruction. From time to time, the earth cracked and lava came out. Countless lives seemed to have been lost even though there was not a single living being there aside from Alex.

The sky above his head was full of darkness, however, because of the red thunder, the sky was burning red from time to time. Not only this, the sky soon started vomiting huge fireballs, aiming to destroy the world. This increase the speed of destruction.

Although nothing directly attacked Alex, the impacts of destruction alone were enough to take Alex's life.

Suddenly, a deep red moon suddenly appeared in the sky. This was a huge moon, but something seemed to be happening there. The moon seemed to be vibrating for some reason, and the vibration was so terrifying that the shockwaves born from the vibration were actually reaching the earth, further strengthening the destructive power that assisted in destroying the world.

"What exactly is happening?" Alex's face was full of fear. He has no idea why the illusion was so real, or why the world seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

"BOOM!"

As expected, something really was happening to the moon. It actually suddenly cracked and separated into two different parts. And along with the destruction of the red moon, the world where Alex was currently standing was also suddenly destroyed.

But surprisingly, this time, Alex was not affected. He just witnessed a panorama of destruction in horror. The world was destroyed into countless pieces, and explosions completely covered his line of sight. All he could see was fire everywhere.

And it was at this time, a domineering voice echoed in the sky: "As long as the moon is safe in the sky, those ten Blades of Hell will be sealed. With the destruction of the moon, the ten Blades of Hell will reappear in the world."

As this voice echoed in the sky, Alex suddenly found that everything seemed to have returned to normal. Everything changed so suddenly that even he started doubting his eyes. He has no idea what he just witnessed was his hallucination, illusion, or reality!

He found himself standing on top of a cliff. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There, he saw a huge white moon suspended, illuminating the world with its silvery white shine.

The same voice once again echoed: "Along with the appearance of Blades of Hell, one after another, countless worlds will witness its destruction. Blood will flow like an ocean and no living being could be saved."

"I, Frozen Moon Emperor, hereby give you the responsibility to gather the Ten Blades of Hell, and seal them again."

With this, a beam of silver light suddenly shot out of the white moon, aiming at Alex.

Alex's eyes were dazzled. He raised his hand to his head in order to see more clearly, however, it was at this time the beam of light entered his palm and disappeared into his body.

Alex was startled. He felt some kind of mysterious energy, which doesn't seem to pose danger to him, have appeared inside his body. He looked at his palm but didn't find anything. But when he looked at the back of his palm, he was shocked to discover an imprint there, which looked like a Snowflake. The most shocking thing was that there was a moon in the middle of the snowflake which looked exactly like the moon in the sky.

The same domineering voice again echoed in the sky: "This is the Mark of Frozen Moon. This mark will direct you to the ten Blades of Hell."

"Remember, as long as you have this mark, you will be the sole and arch enemy of the Ten Blades of Hell. Cultivate well and increase your strength as soon as possible. The First Blade of Hell has already sensed you. It is coming to take your life. You have at most three years in hand!"

With this, the domineering voice stopped echoing. Before Alex could even mutter anything, he saw cracks appearing in the space around him. He was horrified because a very powerful aura seemed to have locked on him at this moment. Alex has never felt something like this before. He seemed to have sensed his death coming.

Fortunately, the cracked space shattered completely. Everything around him seemed to have shattered into countless pieces of spatial mirror.

Along with the shattering of space, the ferocious aura that had locked on him earlier also disappeared.

"Phuu!" "Phuu!" "Phuu!"

Alex suddenly opened his eyes and found himself laying on a small mound of sand. He was completely covered in sweat. He sat down slowly and started breathing deeply.

After that, he let out a deep breath and once again fell back, laying on the mound of sand and looking at the sky.

"What exactly happened? Wasn't I trapped in the illusion by master?"

"If so, then those voices?"

"And this Snowflake Mark?"

Alex raised his right hand and looked at the back of his hand. The Snowflake Mark was still there, but it disappeared as soon as Alex looked at this mark. It was as if the mark was an illusion, but Alex was sure he had seen it just now.

"What exactly is happening?" Alex muttered deep in his heart but found no answer. He knew, if anyone could answer him then it is his master.

After all, it was his master who trapped him in the illusion. So, his master must have ideas of what exactly happened to him.

After some time, Alex again stood up. Only now did he look around and recognized this place. It is the small world on the other side of the D Grade Dimension Gate. It is the small world where his master lives.

He wanted to go and meet his master when he suddenly felt a strong wave of wind blowing behind him. He turned and found his master floating in front of him.

"Master!" Alex looked at Elder Valerio and spoke.

Elder Valerio seemed unfazed. His gaze was locked on the back of his right hand.

Alex followed his master's gaze and also looked at the back of his right hand. He immediately understood that his master must have known everything that happened to him.

But he was surprised when he heard his master saying: "The illusion I trapped you in was something created by a person called Frost Moon Emperor. Before his death, he created this illusion and left behind a trace of his will inside. That illusion is something that no one could break, not even the strongest person in this world, a Divine Lord."

"But you broke the illusion!"

"No... That's not right. You didn't break the illusion; the illusion just recognized you as its custodian."

"When he gave me the illusion to keep, he told me to trap people in this illusion from to time. The illusion will never take someone's life, but it will just test something. I am not aware of what the illusion is testing or why the Frost Moon Emperor told me to trap people inside this illusion from time to time."

"But that Snowflake Mark on your hand tells me that everything has a deeper meaning behind it."

"Tell me, what happened when you were trapped inside the illusion?"

Alex was surprised at first. It is because Frost Moon Emperor is real. And he seemed to be a friend of his master.

Moreover, the illusion was created by Frost Moon Emperor whom he gave his master to keep.

And according to his master, the Frost Moon Emperor has left behind his will inside the illusion as well. If the Will of Frost Moon Emperor is there, then that voice that echoed in the sky could be explained.

But what about Ten Blades of Hell?

There were still many things that Alex did not understand.
