The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1061
Roar!
Infuriated, the old demon let out a loud roar and stomped his foot fiercely. “The ancestor of the Demonic Blood, grant me power!”
Suddenly, he spat out a round, bloody pearl from his mouth. When the pearl appeared, those wraith puppets scurried over to scramble into the bloody pearl like tadpoles that had found their mother.
At the same time, the mysterious bead within Alex’s upper energy core jolted. It seemed like it was highly attracted to the bloody pearl.
Without Alex doing anything, an unparalleled energy undulated on it.
Buzz!
The entire Amaryllis Tower was swept away by this power.
The old demon opened up his mouth and was about to swallow the bloody pearl that had absorbed all the wraiths. To his surprise, the crimson glow on the bloody pearl suddenly darkened after that energy jolt. Earlier, there was a monstrous demonic energy on it but now half of the energy was gone all of a sudden.
Buzz! Buzz!
Immediately afterwards, the bead in Alex’s upper energy core made two more consecutive jolts. Clearly, it was because of the bloody pearl.
With the three energy shocks, the crimson glow and the demonic energy on the bloody pearl had completely vanished, turning into a light golden pearl.
“What’s going on?” The old demon was stunned.
That pearl was a holy artifact that was left behind by the previous cult leader of the Blood Cult, the ancestor of the Blood Cult. It was also an embodiment of his entire cultivation. He had spent his entire lifetime cultivating this bloody pearl. It was even more important than his own life.
However, the demonic energy that he had been cultivating for decades on this bloody pearl had vanished without a trail. More importantly, how did the bloody pearl turn into a golden pearl?
It did not make sense at all!
In the next moment, the golden pearl actually shot right into Alex’s upper energy core with a ‘whoosh’ and was captured after being attracted by the mysterious bead in his upper energy core.
“My bloody demonic pearl!”
The old demon spat out a mouthful of blood.
Alex was astonished as well. The bead in his upper energy core could actually hunt by itself, by directly snatching other’s treasure over as its own.
Through his internal vision, he saw that the golden pearl was smaller than the black bead by half. They were right next to each other. The black bead was consuming the golden pearl and fused with it quickly. Following the slowly disappearing golden pearl, the old demon spat out even more blood. He still seemed full of energy earlier. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a dying man.
Alex walked over step by step and said, “Old thing, you’ve killed so many people and absorbed so much blood and flesh. Have you ever thought about an ending like this at that time?”
The old demon kneeled on the ground.
That bloody pearl was the treasure of his life. He had spent most of his life cultivating it in his body, so pearl was connected to his life a long time ago. Now that the bloody pearl was being consumed, his life force was drained rapidly as well.
Even if he did not die, his vitality would be greatly damaged.
He wiped off the blood on his mouth. “Young man, my Blood Cult is eternal and indestructible. My disciples are all around the world. You all shall pay for the price!”
He gave Alex a deadly stare as he formed a seal with his both hands. His pitch black eyes turned into bloodied pupils as if fire were burning it.
Alex could see his own shadow through his pupils.
“Hahaha! Young man, you have been marked by my Bloodthirsty Demonic Pupils. The rest of the Blood Cult will look for you soon!”
“The Blood Cult is eternal and indestructible. With my blood, I’ll sacrifice my eternal life!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1062
Buzz!
The demonic fire was truly burning in his eyes. His entire body was burned into a pile of ashes rapidly from the inside out.
Alex looked at it with an incomparable serious expression.
Anna Coleman even trembled frighteningly and hugged Alex’s body tightly, as if she could only find some sense of security in this way.
“Is… He dead?” She looked at the pile of ashes with apprehension.
“He’s dead. His soul is gone.” Alex nodded his head.
Suddenly, Anna turned around and pounced on him, hugging him tightly.
Other than the oppression from her body, Alex could feel her fears as well. As an ordinary martial artist like her, whatever that she had experienced earlier had overturned her perception of more than twenty years.
“Hug me tightly!”
“…”
Alex did not move.
“Just for a while, please?” She begged him softly.
Alex thought for a while before inhaling a breath and putting his hands on her waist.
She was soft, fragrant and aromatic.
Alex asked, “Have you heard about the Blood Cult?”
Anna shook her head. “I’ve only heard about the satanic cult. I don’t know if it’s the Blood Cult.”
‘Satanic cult?’
He suddenly remembered that he once heard about the two words “satanic cult” from the Coleman of Missouri, Terrance Coleman at the place of Michigan’s Stoermers. Moreover, he wanted to slander Alex as a member of the satanic cult in return.
“Give Captain Sky a call. Tell him what happened to Divine Constabulary in Missouri as well.” Alex told Anna.
Only then did Anna let go of Alex unwillingly and gave Sky a call.
As for Alex, he went to treat Stacey Cooper on his way.
***
At this moment, Sky was drinking with Zachary Xavier.
Zachary said, “Sky, the constabulary‘s president is already very old now coupled with the suffering of illness, his days of managing Divine Constabulary are getting shorter. Maybe one day, he’ll retire! Now, within the Four Great Guardians, except myself being the most incompetent, the other three want to compete for the president position. The ranking battle at the end of the year might be an opportunity. When the time comes, they would fight against each other and there will be no peace in Divine Constabulary.”
Sky whispered, “The other three seem very ambitious, don’t they?”
Zachary grunted and said, “If it weren’t for the pressure from the president’s prestige, those three would have fought until the sky flipped. Especially Shaun Baker, he’s ambitious. Not only does he want to be the president, but he might even want something more than that.”
Sky was shocked.
Within Divine Constabulary, other than the president was a veteran Grandmaster, the other three from the Four Great Guardians were Grandmasters, leaving only Zachary as a half-stepped Grandmaster…
He was a Grandmaster at first. However, he almost got beaten to death in one important mission later. Even though he managed to survive, his cultivation realm had been knocked down. It was already the limit for him to recover as a half-step Grandmaster.
Zachary continued, “During the ranking battle, it’s not only a fight among your respective divisions, but also a fight among the guardians in which I’m not going to mention anymore. After the end of the year, I should be stepping down from my position as a guardian. What do you think about Alex Rockefeller?”
Sky was dumbfounded. “Do you plan to make Alex a guardian?”
“That’s right.”
“This young man is fortunate enough to be chosen by you.”
Zachary shook his head. “You’re wrong. Alex is definitely not a man without any talent. You saw his aunt’s arrow the last time as well. In my opinion, even the president is also at this level at best. Letting Alex be a guardian is actually risky for him.”
Sky was baffled. “Are you worried that the other three might make things difficult for Alex?”
Zachary took a sip of wine. His eyes were shining with an extraordinary splendor. “I don’t want Alex to be a guardian. I want him… To be the president of the constabulary.”
Sky was truly shocked.
Alex was dragged into Divine Constabulary by him. By a full count, had it been three months?
Other people had not even finished their probation period but Zachary actually wanted him to be the president already. The idea was simply bold and unbelievable.
At this moment, Anna’s call came through.
“Captain Sky, Divine Constabulary in Missouri is in trouble!”
“What trouble? The rescue went wrong?”
“Yes! They… Are all dead!”
“What? Who is dead? Stacey Cooper’s dead?”
“Stacey Cooper’s not dead but the others are all dead!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1063
“What did you say?”
Sky jumped up in shock, turning over the wine glass in front of him. The red wine spilled out, yet nobody cared. Zachary was a half-stepped Grandmaster, so he could hear everything clearly. His expression also changed abruptly as he frowned.
He knew the person who led the case in Divine Constabulary of Missouri, it was Travis Blair, an Earth ranked martial artist as well as his direct subordinate. Even though he was relatively rough and a bit flawed in his personality, he was still satisfactory in his other aspects. At least there was no problem with his loyalty toward Divine Constabulary.
Sky immediately asked, “What actually happened? What about Alex Rockefeller? Is he okay?”
After that, he heard Alex’s voice. “I’m great!”
Anna said, “The boss of the Amaryllis Tower, Joshua Jones is an Advanced-Earth ranked martial artist! But, the greatest existence in the Amaryllis Tower isn’t Joshua Jones but an old demon who worships the Blood Cult.”
“What did you say?”
This time, it was Zachary who shrieked.
He took the phone from Sky’s hand right away. “Anna Coleman, I’m Zachary Xavier. Tell me, is the opponent really a member of the Blood Cult?”
“Yes, he admitted it himself. Captain Blair recognized him from the start.”
“Where’s him?”
“He’s dead. After Alex defeated him, he killed himself.”
“Pass the phone to Alex Rockefeller.”
“Uh… Please hold on. Alex is rescuing Stacey Cooper.”
Three minutes later, only then did Alex take over the phone. Stacey had awakened from a dazed, wooden like state at this moment. After waking up and seeing her surroundings, she was dumbfounded.
Alex walked aside and whispered, “Her mind has been manipulated. The people from the Amaryllis Tower had already made preparations a long time ago. The people from Divine Constabulary of Missouri got ambushed the moment they went in… I’m not clear about the Blood Cult. That person is probably a Grandmaster. The people who were killed by him have become dried corpses. I think you guys better come over.”
He did not reveal many details of the battle.
When Alex passed back the phone to Anna, he whispered, “Anna, don’t mention any details about the battle earlier, especially the parts that I was involved in. When Captain Sky or Guardian Xavier asks later, just say that you didn’t get a clear view.”
Anna looked at him seriously. “Alright! But on one condition!”
“Pray tell.”
“I want you to be my mentor!”
“Are you sure?”
“Or, I could join your sect? Can you be my senior? Just like Waltz Fleur?”
“Then, I’ll just be your master!”
One junior was more than enough. They might start a fight if there were too many of them.
Anna bit her own teeth. Although she was slightly reluctant. How nice would it be to have a senior?
However, she had already said the words, it was too late for her to take back her words. She immediately kneeled down with a thud. “Disciple, Anna Coleman, greet thee, Master!”
Alex was stunned. Never did he expect that this tigress would be so fast and efficient.
He helplessly said, “Get up!”
After pondering for a while, he took out a pill and passed it to Anna. “I’ve never had a disciple before. You’re considered as my first ever disciple. According to usual practice, here’s a gift of apprenticeship for you. Take the pill after you get back.”
“What is this?”
“A marrow washing pill! It can help cleanse your marrow!”
“Thank you, Master!”
She carefully put away the pill. After that, she kissed Alex on the lips.
“Eh!”
In that instant, Alex was dumbfounded. “I’m your master, how could you…”
Anna replied, “And I’m your disciple. Is there a problem for me to kiss my master as a gratitude? It’s just like if I were to have a child in the future, I will surely feel that there’s nothing wrong for him or her to kiss me. I’ll even kiss my child back. Do you want to kiss me back?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1064
Alex touched the back of his head. His brain could not work for a while.
At this moment, Stacey finally came back to her senses and remembered what happened before her mind was being manipulated. At that time, her mission had failed and Joshua Jones found out her true identity. After that, an old man took her away. And then, she was dazed and unaware of the situation.
Now, she saw Joshua’s corpse.
It was because Travis Blair, Jamie Dodd and the others had become dried corpses, all of their facial features had changed, leaving only a layer of skin on their faces. It was impossible to recognize the person at all.
She walked over. “What happened over here?”
Anna replied, “We are the people from Divine Constabulary of California. You’ve been rescued!”
***
Meanwhile, Alex gave Brittany a call.
“Mom, the person who caught Stephen Hendrix is already dead. The mastermind is someone from Brilliant Ice Pharmaceutical, with the last name Lee!”
“But, this person has… Probably gone crazy.”
Franky Lee was indeed crazy.
After enduring the bloody coercion from the old demon and the rampage of countless wraith puppets, his mental capacity has exceeded his limit and he went crazy.
Brittany asked, “How are you doing?”
Alex replied, “I’m doing well!”
He was indeed doing well.
After the mysterious head in his upper energy core had absorbed the golden pearl, the crack on it had actually healed for more than half. Now that only about forty percent of the damage was left, it had saved him much energy!
“Have you found Stephen Hendrix?”
“I’ll go look for him right now!”
Stacey had been investigating the Amaryllis Tower for several days, so she had better understanding about the construction and layout inside.
Under the leadership of Stacey, Alex found Stephen very quickly.
The movie star, who had tens of millions of fans, was locked in a small room. Both his hands and feet tied and he was unable to move. Most importantly, he was disfigured at first due to a car accident. However, there had been a great recovery after using the scar removal product from Lush Cosmetics for the past few days.
Stephen Hendrix looked into the mirror everyday. Seeing his horrible face getting healed bit by bit, Stephen’s confidence recovered slowly as well.
After experiencing this life and death moment and having a more thorough understanding of life, he believed that he could perform more exciting film works.
Unfortunately, all of his hope was lost after being kidnapped by Joshua. Not only was he trapped in here, but his face was alsocut several times. Even a piece of his flesh was cut off. The present him was even uglier than before, and it was difficult for him to meet people again.
Anna covered her mouth in disbelief when she saw the male celebrity.
In normal times, she also loved the television series that were played by Stephen.
“Master, it seems that there’s only one day left before the seven days period as per agreed on the internet. If his appearance is published tomorrow, it will be a huge blow to Lush Cosmetics,” said Anna. “Do you have the confidence to heal his face by tomorrow?”
Stacey thought that she was listening to a story of the Arabian Nights. “His face is already rotten to such a state. Even a skin implant can’t recover his face anymore, right? Are guys serious about recovering his face by tomorrow?”
Even Stephen had given up the hope. He bowed and said, “I thank you all for saving me. I know my own situation. I’m afraid I won’t be able to regain my appearance in this lifetime! I’m truly sorry for Lush Cosmetics. I have an idea but I don’t know if it will work. I used to have a stuntman who looked like me for seventy or eighty percent. If we could find him and do some makeup on him, we might be able to fool the audience.”
Stacey said, “Great idea!”
Alex shook his head. “It doesn’t have to be so troublesome. Originally, we were going to let your appearance restore to its original state by using Lush Cosmetics’ product. But now, we can only use another method… Give me ten minutes and I’ll recover your appearance.”
Stephen was dumbfounded.
Stacey had her eyes widened. “Are you kidding me? Ten minutes to recover his appearance? How are you going to do that? I’ll eat my own shoes if you can do it!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1065
When Stacey first appeared, she seemed exceptionally cold and arrogant because her mind was being manipulated by the old demon from the Blood Cult. However, now that Alex had released the wraith puppets and recovered her mind, she seemed more quirky.
In addition, she was also a short, exquisite person, with a height of about 5.25 feet. She was half a head shorter than Anna. Inexplicably, there was a sense of “Alex Munday” portrayed by Lucy Liu.
Alex looked at her black high heels that she was wearing and said, “Are you sure you want to bet? Can you really consume this pair of high heels?”
Stacey wrinkled up her nose and said, “I’m talking about the premise that you have to restore his face within ten minutes. Are you sure you can do that?”
Alex said, “Of course I can!”
Stacey raised her chin and looked at Alex as she said, “Then, I can do it too!”
With her height, she really had to raise her chin when looking at Alex.
Alex nodded his head. “Alright, we’ll bet on that then.”
Stacey said, “What if you can’t recover him?”
Alex said, “You can do whatever you want to do!”
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
Anna, who was at the side, smiled and said, “Miss Cooper, you’re going to lose for sure. Do you know what title my master has? People gave him the title, ‘Immortal Doctor’! If he said he can recover him within ten minutes, he can definitely recover him!”
“What? Immortal Doctor? He’s so young. I know the best imperial doctor in America, Wallace Yoke. He’s an old friend of my grandfather and he doesn’t even dare to call himself the Immortal Doctor!”
At this moment, the sound of a police car came from outside. It was probably because the movements in the Amaryllis Tower were too loud, so someone had called the police.
Alex said, “You two go out first and stop the local officials from coming in. Captain Sky should be arriving with his people to clean up the mess here soon.”
Stacey said, “You said ten minutes.”
Alex replied, “Don’t worry, I would like to see if your teeth are strong enough too.”
***
Swoosh!
A group of armed officers rushed in.
Seeing the ruin like scene and even the state of seemingly living hell inside the Amaryllis Tower, a female team member ran to a corner to vomit vigorously right away.
The other members had difficulty to accept the situation as well.
After that, when they saw Anna and Stacey coming out from the inside, they were immediately nervous, with a dozen guns aiming at the two of them. “Stand right there. Who are you people?”
Anna had a cold expression. “Divine Constabulary is handling the case. All of you go and guard the entrance, don’t let any idle people in.”
“…”
After Anna showed her credentials, the local officers immediately backed out. They did not show any feeling of nostalgia. They would have nightmares after watching the scene.
After a total of more than a dozen people had backed out, they guarded the main entrance of the Amaryllis Tower strictly. However, they could not help but whisper among themselves.
“Isn’t the Amaryllis Tower Lord Jones’s place? How could such a thing happen?”
“I think I saw Lord Jones. He seems to be dead!”
“Gosh! And those corpses on the floor, how did they become like that?”
“Oh no, my stomach is not feeling very good… Jill, how are you feeling? Are you okay? How can the two women from Divine Constabulary be so calm? Could it be that they really often see scenes like this?”
“How else can they be called the members of Divine Constabulary?”
Meanwhile, Stacey pointed at the few dried corpses and asked Anna, “Who are these people?”
She did not know that they were Travis and the others yet.
Anna did not want to act as a comforting tool right now, so she shook her head and said, “You wouldn’t want to know. Wait for the people from Divine Constabulary of California to arrive, you’ll find out then.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1066
However, she saw the tattoo on the back of a dried corpses’ hand.
At a glance, she was not calm anymore.
The tattoo was very familiar. It was a string of Latin words. When translated to english, it meant the two words “Stacey Cooper”.
Anna thought Stacey would not recognize it but she knew.
“Jamie… Jamie Dodd?”
Combined with what Anna had said, she was even more certain that the dried corpse was Jamie Dodd from Divine Constabulary of Missouri. She asked loudly, “Isn’t he Jamie Dodd? Why is he here? How did he…”
As she spoke, tears started falling down her cheeks. Even though Jamie was not her boyfriend, deep down, she had feelings for him. At first, she wanted them to become a couple naturally. No one wanted to be the first to take the first step to advance their relationship, but she did not expect that…
After that, Stacey looked again at the few others. She was even more shocked.
“This… Is this Captain Blair? Oh my gosh! Why would Captain Blair also… He’s an Earth expert. How could he die?”
“Tell me, what actually happened here?”
“Tell me!”
“Please someone tell me!”
Stacey charged toward Anna and grabbed her clothes. Anna replied, “Stop asking. I’ll explain when the people have arrived.”
“No, I want to know now.”
“Alright… Since you insist!” Anna shook her head. “It’s because your mind has been manipulated. You told them Divine Constabulary’s plan, so they prepared in advance and set out an inescapable trap. Captain Blair and the others were found once they entered the building. After that…”
“Ah! Aah! No!”
Stacey pulled her own hair while tears started streaming down her face. She simply could not accept the fact. “I… I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! It was he, it was me who got them killed?!”
“Miss Cooper, you don’t have to blame yourself. The enemies’ methods are too clever, even if it were me, the result would be the same.” She could only comfort her helplessly.
However, Stacey actually took out a gun out of nowhere at this moment. She pointed it at her forehead and was about to pull the trigger.
“No!” Anna was greatly shocked.
At this moment, a huge suction force sucked the gun out of Stacey’s hand right away. It was Alex who walked out from the inside and snatched the gun using the spiritual power when he saw her trying to commit suicide.
With a crack sound, the gun in his hand turned into a scrap metal.
He said coldly, “Captain Blair, Jamie and the others died while trying to save you. Anna and I came to rescue you as well. If you kill yourself like that, wouldn’t they die for nothing? Wouldn’t I fail my mission this time then?”
If it were just the first few sentences, Stacey still felt warmth in her heart after listening to them.
However, Alex’s last sentence had saddened her a bit. She thought, ‘I’m already so sad and hurt that I want to kill myself. But, all that you care for is your mission? How could you be so cold-blooded?’
“Killing myself is my own business. What does it have to do with you? What does your unfinished mission have to do with me?”
Smack!
Alex gave her a tight slap on the face without thinking twice. Then, he grabbed her hair and pulled it without mercy.
“You look at them. Look at the way they died and how much pain they were in! They died because of you. It’s because they wanted to rescue you, but they got their blood and flesh in their entire bodies sucked out by the worshipper of the Blood Cult… As a member of Divine Constabulary of Missouri, don’t you want to avenge them? You haven’t taken your revenge, yet you’re committing suicide. Are you a cowardly trash? Then, I truly feel bad for them. They lost their lives for trying to save a piece of sh*t like you and also because you have a good grand father. Otherwise, you’re just a pile of sh*t!”
Alex threw her on the ground. “You want to kill yourself? Sure. But eat your high heels first! After you finish eating them, I don’t care if you die or not!”
Alex squatted down and took off her high heels. He pinched her jaw and fiercely stuffed the heels into her mouth.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1067
Stacey’s mouth was stuffed to the brim. That look was weird.
Anna, who was at the side, was dumbfounded upon seeing it.
As for Stacey, she almost went crazy. She was the granddaughter of the Missouri’s ninth division commander. Wherever she went, she would be mingling around the second or third generation of the noble families. Of course, she was very competitive herself and she had never been subjected to such an inhumane treatment before.
Not only did she get slapped and had her hair pulled by someone, but she even got stuffed by heels…
All of a sudden, she exploded in anger like a barrel of gunpowder that had been lit.
She took the heels out of her mouth and scolded loudly, “How dare you treat me like that? Are you still a man for hitting a woman like that? I, Stacey Cooper, have never met someone so rough and unreasonable like you in my life.”
Alex calmly replied, “What kind of reasoning do I need to tell a snowflake like you who would simply take your own life once things don’ t go your own way?”
“Aren’t you not afraid that my grandpa is going to go after you?”
“Haha! If I were your grandfather, I’ll slap you to death!”
“You…”
Stacey had more to say but Alex was too lazy to listen to her. He waved his hand and a force of spiritual power hit her hard on her acupoint, causing her to faint.
Anna said, “Master, I’m afraid you might actually offend this military lady. If her grandfather ever finds out that you have stuffed heels into her mouth, he might get very furious.”
Alex said, “Don’t worry. If her grandfather is a reasonable man, he won’t act rashly toward me. If he’s unreasonable, I’ll beat him up as well.”
“My master is the greatest!”
While looking dainty, Anna hugged Alex’s arm and leaned in on him. Her tigress’s grandeur was not present anymore. She even learned how to bootlick.
Alex looked at her sideways and suddenly asked, “Have you seen ‘The Journey of Flower’ before?”
“I watched a little. What about it?”
“I’m suspecting that you’re learning from her.”
“What did I learn from her?”
“Flirting with your master!”
Anna’s pretty eyes brightened up. “Could there really be such an operation? I thought that only male disciples would flirt with their master. For example, the Condor Hero and Shooriyojou. Then… Will Master be willing to do so?”
Alex’s mouth twitched. “You better not.”
Anna giggled and said, “Where’s Stephen Hendrix? Is his face better?”
Alex nodded his head. “Yes, but he needs to rest for a while.”
Seeing that there was still some time left, Alex said, “Let’s go down there and have a look. The old demon from the Blood Cult came from the underground earlier. This guy is a Shadowman and his powers are not weak. We might get a windfall.”
Just now, Alex managed to locate the place where the old demon was in seclusion by capturing the aura released by him. He immediately brought along Anna to look for the place.
When they opened the door to the basement, a ghastly and bloody smell assailed their nostrils. The two of them immediately covered their noses and they almost puked.
Anna greatly frowned as she said, “Master, I’m not going in. It’s too disgusting!”
Alex nodded his head. After using his spiritual powers to construct a barrier, he said, “You wait for me outside then. I’ll go have a look.”
Once he took a step into the basement, he could immediately sense a change of scene before his eyes.
“A spell formation?”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat but soon he calmed himself down. That was neither an attacking nor trapping type spell formation but it was similar to spell formation that isolated the scent in a secret room and prevented the sensing of spiritual consciousness.
No wonder Alex could not find anything when he tried to quietly explore the place with the spiritual stone. However, after coming in and seeing the scene inside, he could not help but shiver even though he was already mentally prepared. If the first floor of the Amaryllis Tower was hell on earth now, then this place would be a purgatory for fierce ghosts.
There were white bones and blood everywhere.
The surrounding walls were fully painted with strange brown runes with a bloody smell assailing his nostril. At a glance, he knew that those were painted using human’s blood. The runes were part of the isolating formation.
Recently, Alex was studying the formation blueprint corresponding to the Sword of the Universe. The runes on it were hundred times more complicated and profound than this. After studying that, these runes were fairly easy when he looked at the formation blueprint.
Soon, he found the clue. This could be said to be a simple application.
However, Alex still felt delighted because the application of the formation blueprint allowed him to find a way to crack the formation and used it to extrapolate information. After seeing through a complete formation blueprint, and then looking at the complex ones again, he actually had a painstaking like gain.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1068
A whim struck him.
Immediately, he put all of his concentration on the formation blueprint of the Sword of the Universe. After comparing both formation blueprints, he found the place where he was stuck before. He slowly extrapolated it and then reversed the research process.
Time passed little by little, yet he did not feel a thing. Until a certain moment, as if he was walking inside a dark tunnel and suddenly a bright light appeared in front of him.
He had passed through it!
In that instant, the formation blueprint in his mind seemed to have become alive. He understood the principle within it. After decoding the true meaning behind it, the formation blueprint that was imprinted in his mind combined perfectly with the first sword of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six, the Sword of the Universe.
Buzz!
Alex reached out his hand and the Sword of the Universe appeared in his hand. It was so much easier than before.
It seemed like this Sword of the Universe, which evolved from the Dragon Bone Needle, was two feet long with a sharp blade and filled with pervasive essence. A white sword light came out of the sword with a gentle swing.
Screech!
A ten meter long sword mark appeared on the ground.
‘Impressive!’ Alex was ovenvhelmingly excited.
He used to be very envious about Aunt Rockefeller’s Fiery Phoenix Bow as it was a very powerful magical treasure. Now, he could finally completely control the Sword of the Universe with changeable size as well.
The elongated sword could kill his enemies while the short sword could save people. That was the true intention of the old ancestor.
Following his swing with the Sword of the Universe earlier, the spell formation inside the chamber was broken. Soon, he realized something was hung on the ceiling in the middle of the chamber.
That was the original pinhole location for the spell formation.
‘What is this?’ He casually grabbed it off with his hands. He realized that it was a tiny white flute.
The material… It made Alex frown. It was actually made out of a piece of bone.
It was a bone flute.
He realized something abnormal about the bone flute when he held it in his palms. He could not tell what kind of species was that bone from, but there was a great difference compared to normal bones. It seemed more like a piece of jade that was full of strange glow and it also had a wave of fluctuating essence.
He had learnt how to play the flute before. He put it next to his mouth and blew it.
A moving flute tune was played. Surprisingly, the phonic note had a kind of power to stir up the essence of heaven and earth. It could even resonate with his own mental power.
‘This bone flute is just a nice gift for Daya!’
‘Her ability to protect herself should be much stronger with this!’
Just when he put away the bone flute, Anna came rushing in from the outside nervously. “Master, are you okay?”
“I’m fine!”
“You’ve been inside here for a very long time!”
“Huh? I’ve been in here for a very long time? How long has it been?”
“You’ve been in here for the whole night! Now it’s half past ten in the morning of the second day.”
“Huh?” Alex was dumbfounded for a long time. Immediately afterwards, he saw Maya, Brittany and Hailey coming in as well. It turned out that they could not get in touch with Alex, so they found their way here. However, they realized that they could not enter the chamber at all, so they could only wait outside.
After that, the women exclaimed when they saw the scene inside.
“W-why is this place like this?”
As they were talking, Sky Melvis and Zachary Xavier walked over as well.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1069
Zachary Xavier was one of the Four Great Guardians of Divine Constabulary. He was knowledgeable and experienced.
What kind of scenes had he not seen before?
However, when he saw the blood and the bones laying everywhere in the chamber, his facial expression turned extremely awful. The corner of his mouth twitched vigorously as he said, “The worshippers of the Blood Cult are truly unacceptable by the world.”
The people of Divine Constabulary in South California arrived yesterday night. Not only did they take control of the entire building of Amaryllis Tower, they had also investigated a lot of information as well.
Alex, Sky and Zachary exchanged information inside an empty room.
“More than twenty years ago, Joshua Jones was just a gangster in a certain wet market in Michigan. He lived off the protection fees from the vendors and had not much future prospects.”
“But then, he rose to prominence over the night and became a martial expert all of a sudden. Not only did he seize the territories of other organizations, but later he even established this Amaryllis Tower. Gradually, he developed it into a famous underground boxing venue in South California.”
“We found many illicit evidence of the local officials in Joshua Jones’s safe box inside his office. This is also the reason why the Amaryllis Tower could stand here for more than twenty years without collapsing…”
Sky told Alex the information that they had gathered. Based on this inference, it was not hard to realize that Joshua Jones was just a pawn working for the old demon from the Blood Cult.
The person who truly held the power of the Amaryllis Tower was the old demon from the Blood Cult.
Zachary said, “The Blood Cult has a long history. It emerged during the 1600s and rumor has it that their most powerful skill is Bloodthirsty Demonic Art. Those who practice this art have to use the flesh and blood of the living people. It’s extremely evil and heartless. Countless people have died in the hands of the Blood Cult’s worshippers. Until more than a hundred years ago, they were eliminated by the joint forces of various sects in America. According to the biographies and unofficial history accounts of the predecessors, back then, everything regarding the practices, people, and buildings of the Blood Cult was wiped out. Not a single trace was left because they wanted to put an end to this evil cultivation and keep it from harming this world. I never thought that it would come back again.”
When he said it, he let out a deeply worrying sigh.
Alex said, “Then, I’m afraid the Blood Cult has been developing in the shadows for quite some time. Before the elder of the Blood Cult died, he mentioned that the Blood Cult will be making a comeback in the near future. They want the six factions and seventy two families of America to pay for the price with blood.”
Zachary said, “Did he really say so?”
Alex nodded his head.
Zachary replied, “This matter is greatly important. I have to get back to Alaska to meet the constabulary’s president immediately! Alex, you’ve done a great job this time. Would you like to follow me to Alaska to meet with the president?”
Alex looked at Zachary as he was not sure of his intention.
In the end, he shook his head. “Forget it this time. I have some matters to deal with back at my home lately. I really can’t go.”
Zachary felt slightly regretful but he did not force him either. He said, “It’s fine. We’ll wait for the next time to come then. Alex, you’re highly cultivated and far beyond me. I have high hopes for you in the ranking battle of Divine Constabulary at the coming year end. I have a feeling that you’re absolutely capable of taking over my position as one of the Four Great Guardians.”
“What? Taking over your position?” Alex was astonished.
Zachary said, “That’s right! One must be a Grandmaster to be competent in order to become a guardian of Divine Constabulary. Otherwise, it’ll be unjustified and undeserving of such a position. Your cultivation is already of a Grandmaster and it is just right for you to take over my position. I have faith in you.”
Alex shook his head and said with a smile, “I have a lot of things to do and I can’t take this position.”
Zachary said, “I know you’re trying to find out the real cause of your father’s death. I’ve heard about your father, William Rockefeller. It involves a mystery, but what exactly it is, I’m not sure! However, if you can become a guardian of Divine Constabulary, or even the president of the Constabulary, you’ll have a certain degree of authority. You can speak to the people of certain forces. It’ll be helpful to you in finding information about your father.”
Alex was moved but he did not make any statement at the moment. Most of all, he was wary about the top management of Divine Constabulary.
The conversation ended here.
The matter regarding the Blood Cult was greatly important. Hence, Zachary had to leave Michigan and travel to Alaska immediately.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1070
On the other hand, Alex followed Brittany, Maya and the others back to Lush Cosmetics.
Unexpectedly, Waltz, Daya and others had come as well.
Alex suddenly left California with no news at all, causing the two ladies to be very anxious. Later, when they found out what happened after contacting Brittany by phone, they immediately rushed over.
In the afternoon, the group of people found an upscale hotel and dined together.

At one o’clock in the afternoon of the same day, Lush Cosmetics’ official Instagram posted the news about Stephen Hendrix’s restoration of his appearance first handedly.
Not only were there comparison photos of Stephen in the week before and after. There was even a high resolution video as proof.
In the video, Stephen had transformed from a disheveled young man with a scruffy beard to a look glowing with health while dressing in white shirt, black suit and a blue tie. His disfigured face due to the car accident had completely restored to its original form. He had also regained the image of Adonis in the minds of his fans.
“I’m Stephen Hendrix, many of you know that I’ve been through a life and death moment in the past three years. I’ve also experienced the rock bottom of my life. I had lost my best friend, and I lost my face too.”
“In fact, in the past three years, I have been mentally prepared to live with a broken face for the rest of my life. Compared to the loss of that friend of mine, all I had lost was my face. What’s there to complain about?”
“Who would have thought that God gave me another chance to start over, and let me encounter Lush Cosmetics! I wasn’t hopeful at first because I’ve been through dozens of operations, hoping that one day I could return to the screen. I couldn’t let go of my love for my acting career and I couldn’t let go of the people who like me. But, it’s a failure every time!”
“Yet, it’s really different this time. Look at my face, everyone. I’m truly recovered!”
In the video, Stephen Hendrix directly used clean water, cleansing milk and a towel to wash his face. After washing his face, he faced the camera again and even pinched his face with his hands.
It was real. All of it was real!
Stephen Hendrix was back!
At that moment, the fans boiled with excitement. Countless fans had their eyes brimming with warm tears.
Stephen showed his signature smile. “I want to thank Lush Cosmetics for giving me this chance to be reborn. They gave me a second chance in life. I can swear on my life that Lush Cosmetics is absolutely the best product to treat scars and there is no side effect at all. I am willing to endorse Lush Cosmetics for free. Moreover, I’ll bear the legal consequences of all the products!”
“Besides, I’ll announce another news. In the following month, I’ll be taking on a major TV series named ‘The Road to Immortality’. I’ve decided that from now on, ninety percent of my remuneration from acting will be taken out for charity. I welcome my friends to supervise me!”
The last sentence was truly the blockbuster news. Well, Stephen Hendrix had a very good reputation and loved doing charity.
This announcement to take out ninety percent of his remuneration for charity was unparalleled.
In a brief moment, the news that was posted by Lush Cosmetics was shared by countless media and Stephen Hendrix’s fans. Just within a few minutes, the news reached the headlines of entertainment, medical and other sectors.
