System: Replicating The Heavens-Chapter 528: Ch : Great Saint Stage

In an instant, a brilliant golden-red light erupted from his body like a rising sun mixed with blood. The light spread outward in waves, lighting up the ruins of the research base.

At the same time, a terrifying devouring force was born.

It spread in all directions with overwhelming momentum, like an endless abyss opening its mouth. Spiritual energy, blood mist, shattered stones, and even the chaotic aura in the air were all pulled toward him.

The devouring force spread faster and wider than anyone had imagined. Other than those scattered things, the corpses on the ground started to tremble as well. Dead warriors, broken bodies, shattered limbs, and even the twisted remains of the human–beast hybrids were lifted into the air. They were pulled toward the center of the golden-red light without any resistance. Flesh, blood, bones, and even lingering soul energy were all swallowed.

It did not stop there.

All the warriors who were still alive suddenly felt a terrifying pulling force on their bodies. Their blood boiled, and their spiritual energy was being forcefully dragged out of their bodies, turning their faces pale with fear.

"What is happening?!"

"Why is my energy being taken away?!"

"Stop it! Someone stop this!"

Cries of terror spread across the battlefield. No one could understand what was happening. The devouring force did not care about identity. It did not care about ally or enemy. It devoured warriors of the Heavenly Blood Pavilion and warriors of the three sects alike. It devoured monsters and humans the same way. In its eyes, everything was simply food.

Panic immediately erupted among everyone.

Some warriors tried to run, but their legs shook, and they were unable to even move more than ten steps. Others tried to resist, but it was useless. Compared to this devouring force, their strength was like dust before a storm.

Alex, on the other hand, was surprised.

He had expected the Devouring God's body to be dangerous, but he had underestimated how wild it was when left uncontrolled. If he allowed it to continue, everything around him would be erased.

Without hesitation, Alex took full control.

His eyes shone with golden-red light as he raised his hand slightly, and his aura changed. The chaotic devouring force immediately responded to his will. Like a wild beast being tamed, it slowed down and reshaped its movement. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In the next instant, the pulling force on the living warriors vanished.

Those who were still alive fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Their clothes were soaked in sweat, and their hearts were beating wildly. Many of them felt as if they had just escaped death.

Although the devouring force no longer touched the living, it did not stop.

The battlefield was filled with countless corpses of hybrid creatures, Heavenly Blood Pavilion warriors, and disciples from the three sects. There were simply too many. Thousands of dead bodies were scattered across the ruins.

And now, all of them were devoured by Alex.

At the same time, massive amounts of resources were also swallowed. Broken storage rings, shattered containers, and secret vaults hidden inside the base were torn open by the devouring force.

Bloodline Nourishing Liquid was devoured in large quantities. Astral-Rank herbs and fruits disappeared one after another. Divine Blood Crystals, which carried terrifying blood energy, were absorbed without resistance. Dark Origin Stones, Blood Spirit Marrow, Abyss Essence Metal, Soul Condensing Jade, Void Blood Sand, and Beast Cores were all pulled in like streams of light.

These were all precious materials that could shock the outside world.

But to the Devouring God Body, they were only nourishment.

A terrifying amount of energy poured into Alex's body. At the same time, his cultivation instantly surged.

Boom!

His aura broke through a barrier, and his cultivation advanced to the Saint Manifestation Stage. However, it did not stop there. It continued to flood his body like a raging ocean.

Boom!

Very soon, he advanced to the second layer of the Saint Manifestation Stage, and then the third. He continued to break through all the way to the Sixth Layer of the Saint Manifestation Stage. Only then did his cultivation stop increasing rapidly.

But still, Alex did not stop. His eyes turned toward Ethan.

Ethan had already turned into a giant monster at the Great Saint Stage. His mind was completely gone. He roared wildly, smashing everything around him. However, because he had lost his sanity, he could only use his strength in a crude way. His power was only comparable to a Fourth or Fifth Stage Great Saint.

Alex raised his hand slightly, and the devouring force, like a dark ocean, rushed toward Ethan.

Ethan also immediately felt the devouring force locked onto his body.

"ROAR!"

He let out a furious roar. His massive body struggled violently. He tried to step back, but his legs were dragged forward. His arms swung wildly as he tried to strike the invisible force. His claws tore through the air, but nothing was hit.

The devouring force wrapped around him like countless invisible chains. His scales began to crack, and his blood energy was pulled out.

"ROOOAR!!!"

His roar was filled with pain and unwillingness. His massive eyes trembled as fear finally appeared inside them. He struggled harder, smashing the ground and shaking the ruins. But no matter how much he fought, he could not escape.

Bit by bit, his body was devoured.

First, his outer flesh was devoured, followed by his blood, bones, and lastly his soul.

His giant body grew smaller and smaller, collapsing inward as if he were being erased from existence. In the end, there was nothing left.

At the same time, Alex's cultivation surged once again.

Seventh Layer.

Eighth Layer.

Ninth Layer of Saint Manifestation Stage.

His aura reached the peak of the Saint Manifestation Stage. The air around him distorted under the pressure of his existence.

But now, there was nothing left to devour.

The battlefield had been completely emptied.

Alex had no choice but to stop.

As for Henry, the Saint King Stage monster, Alex clearly felt the limit of his power. Even though he possesses an incredibly powerful forbidden physique that can devour anything, his own cultivation was still not strong enough. A Saint King was on an entirely different level. Trying to devour Henry would only cause backlash.

So he did not act.

On the other hand, because of Ethan's disappearance, Kevin suddenly had no opponent. His eyes widened in shock, but he had no time to think.

Henry was still roaring.

Dan and Emily were still fighting desperately.

Now that Kevin was free, he immediately joined them. Three powerful experts surrounded Henry and attacked him together. The battlefield shifted again.

Everyone was confused.

They did not know where the devouring force had come from. They did not know who controlled it. But they had no time to think about it.

Henry was still a disaster, so everyone had to think of a way to deal with him.

On the other hand, Alex turned his head slowly, his gaze locking onto a certain place.

In the next moment, his figure vanished.

When he appeared again, he was already standing at the location where the core area of the Research Base used to exist.

---

"Damn it, just die!"

Dan roared angrily, and his hair stood on end. His body instantly expanded to three meters tall. His steel-like muscles trembled violently, causing the surrounding void to show signs of instability.

BOOM!

A layer of blue flames suddenly appeared on his body.

An incomparably heavy and domineering aura spread from his body, causing the ground within a few kilometers to tremble.

Swoosh!

Dan suddenly turned into a blue meteor that tore through the night sky. With a powerful momentum, he directly collided with Henry's mutated body, which looked like a towering mountain.

"Shriek!"

Henry let out a sharp cry. White arms dozens of meters long blasted towards Dan. The speed of each arm broke through the sound barrier, bringing with it layers of white sound waves.

Dan, who was only three meters tall, was too insignificant compared to Henry, who looked like a towering mountain.

"Boom!!!"

With an earth-shattering tremor, Dan and Henry retreated at the same time.

The ground within a radius of dozens of miles under Henry exploded with a bang, turning into a huge sinkhole.

Dan's figure had appeared above Henry's head.

A light of ice and snow suddenly bloomed from his body and instantly enveloped the sky within a mile.

In the next moment, hundreds or thousands of white ice spears that gave off an incomparably cold and dead aura were instantly formed!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

Amidst layers of terrifying screams of air, countless huge ice spears shot out like tens of thousands of sharp arrows. They connected and enveloped Henry.

Every ice spear let out a terrifying scream that broke the sound barrier, leaving no doubt that they were powerful enough to pierce through the beast!

There was no way for Henry to dodge such a terrifying attack. In less than a second, thousands of huge ice spears stabbed at its body.

The skin on Henry's body, which was as tough as diamond, instantly turned into a sieve. Blood holes were directly pierced through it. It could not help but retreat repeatedly under Affliction and furious roars!
