The huge phantom behind Alex (Alex of the past) was looking directly at ALEX (Alex of the present), its gaze piercing through the fabric of time and space. To be more specific, it was looking at the same Phantom that was standing behind ALEX.
It was a shocking sight to behold. It was unimaginable and incomprehensible. It was terrifying.
Alex and ALEX seemed to have been frozen. They could neither move nor could they sense their surroundings. It was as if their connection with the world was suddenly cut off. They felt standing in the land of extreme darkness where they could neither feel anything nor sense anything.
If there was a straight line, then both Alex were two ends of that straight line, standing opposite to each other.
Suddenly, a light flashed right in the center that spread over and lighten up the entire world.
Just like the two Phantoms of Ancient Sovereign Bloodline, both Alex locked their eyes on each other.
At first, only ALEX could see Alex, but for some unknown reason, now even Alex was able to see ALEX.
None of them were able to move or say anything, but the shock in their eyes talked many things with each other.
The current ALEX was still fine, for he knew why everything was happening. But Alex of the past has thousands of questions in his eyes. Everything was so unreal to him. He could not understand why there were two of them with the same bloodlines standing opposite each other.
However, as if something suddenly hit the world hard, cracks appeared in the world just like cracks on a mirror. And then "Boom", the world shattered into pieces.
The next moment, ALEX found himself back. The memory ended there.
Alex has no idea why this happened, but he knew the reason must be the activation of the Ancient Sovereign Bloodline.
Alex raised his head and looked at the giant figure holding two axes in hand. This bloodline came from the original family of his past life. He did not expect the Ancient Sovereign Bloodline to be this powerful. It was actually able to see through the fabric of time and space and locked onto him.
It was truly terrifying.
The giant figure also lowered its head and looked at Alex before slowly disappearing.
Everything ended too quickly.
[Detecting that the Originator was interrupted during the absorption period of 3% of the Sealed Memories!]
[Activating the Second Scenario!]
[The System will forcefully send the entire 3% memories in the Originator's mind directly!]
[It is advised for the Originator to find a safe place within three minutes!]
[Countdown starts now!]
Alex was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted. He did not know why the system was telling him to find a safe place, but he still took action immediately and started looking for a safe place. Very soon, he found a cave. There was a Divine Lord Stage beast inside the cave, but it was unconscious.
To be safe, Alex still killed the beast in one slash and then went deeper into the cave.
This was also the moment when the countdown ended. Alex felt as if he was electrocuted, his entire body shook heavily before he lost consciousness and fell into a deep slumber.
In his sleep, Alex started dreaming. He saw the Alex of the past, Alicia, and people related to them. He saw how he went for revenge and destroyed the Iron Blood Sect. He saw how he rose in power step by step. He saw the bloodline strength of the Ancient Sovereign Bloodline at 50%. He witnessed the might of a sharp blade that cut through an entire world.
He witnessed the evolution of the treasure Outline of the World that later become Outline of the Universe. It became a universal treasure.
The dream was extremely long, and Alex witnessed countless things. Among them was his encounter with the Silver Winged Angel Race. He already had Silver Flame Sword Intent that was exclusive to the Silver Winged Angel Race, however, because he didn't have the bloodline of the Silver Winged Angel Race, he was unable to fully use it.
So, he replicated the bloodline of the Silver Winged Angel Race as well and fused with it.
Alex felt as if he was not dreaming but living a life. He lived for more than fifty years in the dream. His dream ended when Alex came across a familiar person. It was Fritz Lambert.
When Alex met him, the dream ended. At the end of his dream, his cultivation base had already become a warrior of the Life Creation Stage.
Alex opened his eyes again. He felt his head heavy which caused him to stay in a daze for a few moments. He spent a few minutes digesting all the contents of the dream.
He knew that it was not actually a dream but the memories of his past life.
Finally, after Alex digested everything, the System prompted again.
[Detecting that the Originator has absorbed 3% of the Sealed Memories!]
[Synchronizing the treasures sealed along with the Originator's memories!]
[1. Silver Winged Angel Bloodline!
2. Ancient Sovereign Bloodline (40%).
3. Godfiend Phantom Body (20%).
4. Life Creation Core!
[Synchronization complete!]
[Treasures can be now integrated into Originator's body!]
[Integration of the treasures will start in 3 seconds!]
And then, boundless energy surged inside his body, making Alex feel his body was going to explode.
Just like the first-time treasures integrated inside his body after he went through 1% of the sealed memories, he felt a violent energy wreaking havoc inside him. He had no comfortable feeling that he usually has while fusing with treasures, it was too painful. He knew if he failed to endure, his body will explode.
Alex felt his body put under enormous strain and was cracking down bit by bit. It was as if millions of poisonous ants were gnawing on his body, treating him like their food.
He felt his soul was being pierced by tens of thousands of sharp needles at the same time. The soreness in his entire body reached the extent where Alex fell into a subconscious state. He could feel the pain and agony he was suffering, he was experiencing every single change in his body, but he was helpless to even move on his own initiative. He had completely lost control over his body.
This was not the end, he was suffering so much that his body was throbbing on its own, twitching non-stop. His body was instinctively trying to help Alex endure the pain and complete the change happening to his body.
Even in his subconscious state, Alex was letting out painful howls. The pain was unbearable, tolerating this kind of pain was impossible. He was suffering too much. He could feel every single cell in his body going through tremendous change.
He felt being squeezed dry of energy, but then again, energy will fill his body from an unknown source, going through the transformation process again, drying up again. This process continued for an unknown period of time.
Alex could only bitterly wait in distress to pass the tribulation he was going through right now.
But the tribulation was not that easy to pass. He had yet to truly fuse with the treasures when he suddenly heard the system's prompt once again.
[The integration process has been forcefully stopped. The current integration of treasure is 10%. Please go through the Three Tribulations of Life Destruction first before integrating with the treasures completely!]
Alex's cultivation had already reached Extreme Divine Emperor Stage. He has to go through Three Tribulations of Life Destruction before he could truly step into the realms of gods and become a Spirit Martial God.
During the integration process, it is very normal for his cultivation to increase tremendously. This was what happened the first time he integrated with the treasures.
However, since Alex had yet to go through the Three Tribulations of Life Destruction, he was unable to complete the integration process. And the system had to interfere in the middle, stopping the integration of treasures in his body.
He had only fused with 10% of the treasures, however, the energy brought by this 10% was boundless. If he did not use up these energies, his body will explode and he will die.
Alex was forcefully brought back to his senses from the subconscious state by the system. And this was also the time when the sky darkened and clouds started gathering above Alex's head. The cloud covered hundreds of miles in the sky in an instant, and it was still becoming bigger and bigger.
Alex understood that he has to leave this area otherwise he will definitely affect the Heavenly Ice City.
The kind of tribulation he was going to face is very likely to destroy everything, even the world. It gave him a feeling of being stared by a giant monster that has the power to swallow the whole world in an instant.
