Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Jha'Akim, just before he entered the Spirit Transformation realm separated part of his body and used its regeneration capabilities to create another clone. He did it so that in case he ever died during his breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation realm, he could still have something to take revenge for him.

However, he never needed that clone and it stayed in its infant form for a long time. But, when Jha'Akim was imprisoned, he seemed to have needed more blood for himself. So, just before he was put behind the Primordial holy Jade, he sent a message to his infant self to do one thing for him.

That was to kill as many high-level beasts for him and feed it to the crystal, the same crystal the clone was grown in.

The clone took an extremely long time to mature without the care of anyone and didn't come out of the crystal for almost ten thousand years. The crystal seemed to be linked to Jha'Akim himself, so until he died, the crystal would remain standing.

When the clone finally got out, he started cultivating to get as strong as he could. He started forming an army for his real self and experimented with humans and beasts to make hybrids like his real self.

And he succeeded. He managed to find a way to create human-beast hybrids that were the same as he was.

The next task the leader needed to do was bring the crystal as much high-level beast blood as he could. Even that he had succeeded to some level.

In the end, the leader had died, but he died after accomplishing everything he had set out to do.

That was what Ning learned after using Omni-Analysis on the leader.

"Shit! I thought he was some sort of copycat, but it turns out he was a clone," Ning said angrily after a little while it took him to read through all of the information.

The leader had died and the crystal had stopped working. Everyone in the cave was dead, and an eerie silence took over.

"Dammit, what is going on? What was the purpose of feeding blood to Jha'Akim? Did he grow stronger?" Ning wondered.

"I need to hurry there," he thought. But before he left, he decided to destroy the crystal since that was what the system requested of him.

The crystal was quite tough, but it wasn't tough enough to be unbreakable against someone with the physical strength of a Spirit Transformation realm cultivator.

Once Ning was done destroying the crystal, he took one last look at the entire cave with his divine sense to make sure he did not miss any beasts or hybrids.

It turned out that there were a few more beasts hanging from the wall in some other room, so Ning took care of them as well.

Finally, he teleported out of the cave and into the Sun empire and went to the tomb once more.

There was a small hint of fear in his heart as he slowly drifted down to the tomb. He was expecting something to wrong with the place already, but it seemed that everything was fine.

"Am I on time?" Ning wondered and went into the tomb with a lot of people still visiting in and out. There didn't seem to be any disturbances so he was a little relieved.

People were used to leaving when he came, so the guards had already cleared people away. Ning set the formation once more and opened the seal to enter.

He reached the bottom of the drop and quickly ran over to the open hall. But when he reached there, his eyes went wide in shock and fear.

He could see the coffin wide open and nothing inside of it. On either side of the coffin were broken stones as if the statues had been torn apart.

"No!" he thought and quickly ran forward to check it more carefully.

"Shit! He must've run away already," Ning thought and looked around at the scene of the massacre. There were blood and bones coming out of many of the stones.

It seemed that the first thing Jha'Akim did when he got out of the coffin was killed the ones that kept him imprisoned.

"Dammit," Ning shouted. Then he suddenly remembered, "my beasts!" he thought and ran towards the door.

However, instead of entering, he slammed against the door and made numerous cracks on it.

"What?" Ning thought in confusion. There should have been a portal here, but the portal was now missing.

"Did Jha'Akim destroy this?" Ning thought. "Shit, is he already inside?"

Ning started to get worried; he didn't know what to do now and was incredibly worried about his 3 beasts. "Can I teleport to where Night is?" he wondered. He would have to try to find out.

He closed his eyes and tried to teleport to them, but he was unable to. "Dammit, I need to know where they are if I want to teleport there," Ning thought.

"System, give me the exact location of Night," he asked.

<The location is 8 kilometers due southwest from here>

"8 kilometers… let's see," Ning thought and spread out his divine sense so that it expanded as far as he could.

"Got it," he thought and teleported. When he reappeared, he was in the sky above the forest inside the secret realm.

He immediately looked down for any signs of fighting and noticed a large number of beasts gathering at a certain location.

"Is that it?" he thought and slowly flew down.

The beasts quickly noticed him and all got into fighting stances. However, they stopped when they saw how it was.

"Master," Night called out to him.

"What's happening?" Ning asked. "Is Jha'Akim here?"

"Human, you're here," a voice called out to him from beyond the group of beasts. Ning looked at the center of them all and noticed a red dragon-like lizard with half of its right arm missing and blood pouring from its sunken left eye.

His already scrawny physique made him look even worse with all of this wound on him.

"Are you… the drake from the statue?" Ning asked.
