The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1271
Boom, boom!
The mysterious pearl in Alex Rockefeller’s upper energy core jumped around intensely, causing some kind of rumbling inside of him. In fact, it appeared in between his eyebrows as if it was going to leap out from his body on its own.
‘Another pearl!’
Alex could see it clearly.
The pearl Papa Hanson retrieved was almost identical to the one in Alex’s upper energy core. Based on the aura it emitted, Alex was certain it was the same type of object. That explained why Alex’s pearl had such a huge reaction.
‘What exactly is this pearl?’ Alex wondered.
Apart from feeling surprised, Alex also felt unceasingly curious. ‘Could these pearls have come from the same roots? In fact, would they eventually combine?’
As Alex thought about these things, Papa Hanson spat a mouthful of blood. “Young Rockefeller, I didn’t want to kill you at first, but you asked for it. Some things just weren’t meant for you! The fact that you get to die today because of my Celestial Oceanic Bead will be an honor for a martial arts cultivator like you.”
After saying that, Papa Hanson instantly activated his pearl’s energy.
The halo of blue light around the pearl immediately released odd energy that engulfed Alex within.
Right then, Alex could sense his body being wrapped tightly by a layer of what felt like water. It bound him tightly, and he found it difficult even to budge a little. Alex looked surprisingly at the pearl in Papa Hanson’s hand. “Celestial Oceanic Bead? What is this thing? It has such immense power. It feels almost as if I’m in the depths of the ocean,” Alex said.
Papa Hanson snorted coldly.
“What is it? You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Just know that it’s a mysterious treasure that you’ll never acquire in this lifetime. It greatly surpasses the abilities of mystical tools. Forget about someone like you with low level cultivation, even an expert in the Blood Cult will have to surrender to me with the Celestial Oceanic Bead in my hands,” he said.
“Oceanic Force Imprisonment!” Papa Hanson shouted right after that
Within an instant, the blue light emitted by the pearl grew even brighter. Moreover, a circle of light blue energy formed a blue, rope like cage that the naked eye could see. It trapped Alex firmly inside, and the circle grew smaller and smaller.
Seeing Alex being trapped made Maya Howards panic. She instantly started to attack Papa Hanson.
Using Silver Frost, she struck at him with her Ice Cold Touch.
“Go to hell!” she yelled.
To her surprise, Papa Hanson casually waved his hand. Another energy shield fired out of the Celestial Oceanic Bead and directly wrapped around Maya. Not only did it effortlessly diffuse her Ice Cold Touch, but it even fully engulfed her body. Maya was imprisoned in place, and she couldn’ t move.
By then, Papa Hanson started laughing loudly as if he had already emerged victorious.
“Maya, stop struggling. It’s futile. Even if you have a half- stepped Grandmaster’s cultivation, you have no way of resisting my Oceanic Force Imprisonment. Look. On the basis that we’ve been friends, why don’t we strike a deal? I really don’t want to use brute force on you,” he said.
“What kind of deal?” Maya asked.
Papa Hanson chuckled. “Let me absorb your bloodline’s energy. You’ll do so voluntarily. After that, I’ll let your boyfriend go. The two of you will still get to live, and you’ll get to live together happily ever after,” he said.
Maya looked panicked.
She was especially concerned when she saw how the Oceanic Force was trapping Alex. In fact, he was being strangled, and it seemed as if he would die of suffocation at any moment.
Feeling incomparably pained in her heart, Maya finally nodded. “Alright. I’ll take the deal! How do I transfer my bloodline’s energy to you?” she asked.
Papa Hanson chuckled. “This is easy! The Bloodthirsty Demonic Art from Blood Cult focuses on the coupling of man and woman. As long as you willingly sleep with me once and allow me to acquire your blood, the deal will be done, and I’ll let your boyfriend go,” he said.
“What?” Maya’s facial expression changed drastically.
How could she do this?! If she did it, that would mean losing her virginity. How could she face Alex and still be with him?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1272
Right then, Alex Rockefeller’s voice could be heard somewhere nearby. “Is this all you’ve got? How dare you even dream about stealing my woman away from in e? Are you still in a dream?”
‘What?’ Papa Hanson quickly looked over at Alex. In the end, he realized that Alex was still trapped by the prison of Oceanic Force and couldn’t escape at all.
Papa Hanson started laughing loudly. “You’re the one who’s in a dream! Don’t you know that there’s no way for you to escape now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Alex stomped his foot forcefully. The Oceanic Force that surrounded him instantly shattered into pieces, almost like tofu. The Oceanic Force had turned into its pure form once again.
“What?! How is this possible?!”
Papa Hanson’s face was drained of color from shock. He didn’t expect Alex to be so strong that he could even break free from the Oceanic Force prison that Papa Hanson himself was most pleased with.
However, in the next second, something even more terrifying happened.
Alex was actually absorbing the Oceanic Force.
The blue energy waves were being sucked into the center of Alex’s eyebrows like a whale sucking in water…
“Ahh!”
“Stop! Stop right now! What are you doing?” Papa Hanson shouted frantically at Alex while his facial expression changed drastically.
However, right then, the strong absorbing force that had formed in between Alex’s eyebrows directly impacted the pearl in Papa Hanson’s hand.
Shuffle…
The pearl turned into a ray of light and was directly absorbed by Alex. Likewise, it entered Alex’s upper energy core and fused with the pearl that had its own mental power. Just as the pearl entered Alex’s body, the Oceanic Force that trapped Maya Howards also disappeared completely.
“Ahhh!”
With his Celestial Oceanic Bead snatched away, Papa Hanson was nearly going mad. He yelled loudly at Alex, “Give the Celestial Oceanic Bead back to me! Otherwise, you’ll regret it! My people from the Blood Cult won’t let you go. You’ll become the target of assassination of every member of the Blood Cult. They won’t stop until you die!”
Bang!
Alex dashed over at lightning speed and struck Papa Hanson’s lower energy core with his fist.
A bout of spiritual power that was filled with thunderous might blasted into Papa Hanson’s energy core, thoroughly shattering the foundation of Bloodthirsty Demonic Art in his energy core. It had all become a pile of useless pulp.
Roar!
“You… Did you just destroy my cultivation?” Papa Hanson asked.
While facing Papa Hanson’s fierce expression and hateful gaze, Alex still seemed calm as usual. “That’s right. What are you going to do about it? Will you mark me with your Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye and get people from your Blood Cult to come after me? Can’t you tell that I’ve already been marked by Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye once?” Alex asked.
“What? Has Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye marked you before? That’s impossible!” Papa Hanson couldn’t see it at all.
If Alex really had been marked before, Papa Hanson would’ve been able to sense it.
Alex shook his head. He felt that Papa Hanson’s cultivation was perhaps too weak. That was why he couldn’t see the mark of Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye.
Alex immediately took his phone out and called Anna Coleman. “Anna, where are you?”
“Master, I’m in the toilet. I just took off my pants and sat down. Has something happened to you?” Anna asked.
When Alex heard what Anna said, he subconsciously glanced at Maya. “Don’t describe things in such detail next time! I caught someone from the Blood Cult. Come over!”
Alex provided Anna with the address.
“Alright. In that case, can I come after I finish using the toilet? Or should I put my pants on and come over right away?” Anna asked.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1273
“If you can hold it in, put your pants on and come over right now!” Alex Rockefeller said before directly hanging up the phone.
The tigress was intentionally looking for trouble!
‘Why did you tell me about such private things related to women?’ Alex thought.
Maya Howards overheard the phone conversation. After advancing to half-stepped Grandmaster in her martial arts cultivation, her hearing had become shockingly sharp. It was difficult for her not to overhear him. However, Maya wasn’t focused on the phone conversation between Alex and Anna Coleman. Instead, she was looking at Papa Hanson with an expression of pain and disappointment.
It had been seven years since she first started working at Quois Haven until now, when she became the director of Lush Cosmetics. Although her total assets exceeded billions, she still visited Papa Hanson at Quois Haven to chat with him every year.
Maya had grown up in an orphanage. She treasured this relationship dearly, but she didn’t expect things to turn out this way today.
For the sake of her bloodline, he was able to toss away all the emotions and experiences they went through together in the past like trash. He even asked Maya to sleep with her. ‘Are you even human?’ Maya wondered.
“Papa, I have something to ask you. What was I to you in the past? Was I only a prey that could contribute my bloodline to you?” Maya asked in a desolate tone.
Papa Hanson looked at her and sighed.
“Maya, to be honest, I did think of you as my daughter! It’d have been great if your bloodline wasn’t activated. We could still maintain our relationship as before. I could continue playing my part as your adopted father, and I could watch you get married and have children. However, from the moment you activated your bloodline, things became different. Things became completely different,” he said.
“What has changed? Regardless of whether my bloodline is activated or not, I’m still Maya Howards! The question is, why can’t you treat me the same way after my bloodline is activated?” Maya asked agitatedly.
Papa Hanson shook his head. “You don’t understand! Everyone in the Blood Cult practices Bloodthirsty Demonic Art. It’s an ability that makes one extremely sensitive and attracted to blood, especially blood that belongs to people with a unique bloodline! If you hadn’t activated your bloodline, I could still suppress my desires. However, after you activated your bloodline, it’s a different case altogether,” he explained.
“Does that mean Maya’s blood is like a drug to you?” Alex asked.
“That’s right,” Papa Hanson answered.
“What position do you hold in the Blood Cult?” Alex then asked.
Papa Hanson was stunned for a moment. After that, he laughed coldly. “Are you trying to investigate me? Impossible! I won’t tell you. The Blood Cult will inevitably reclaim America and conquer the world,” he said.
Alex was stunned momentarily. He raised a finger to Papa Hanson’s forehead. This was none other than the Ultimate Book of Medicine’s Soul Banishing Touch.
With a tap of Alex’s finger, Papa Hanson’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. He broke into a cold sweat, and it felt as if his soul wanted to scream out loud.
However, a sphere of blood rose formed in his eyes. In fact, a mark even began to appear in flames within his pupils.
Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye!
Papa Hanson also wanted to plant the Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye in Alex. This was already Alex’s second time experiencing it.
He didn’t expect Papa Hanson to have such strong willpower. After Alex used his Soul Banishing Touch, not only did Papa Hanson not break down, but he even tried to use the Blood Cult’s Bloodthirsty Demonic Eye to mark Alex so that countless members of Blood Cult would hunt him down.
However, right then, the Chaos Bead hidden inside Alex’s mind palace vibrated gently. The mark Papa Hanson wanted to make instantly shattered and disappeared.
At the same time, a reactionary force directly hit Papa Hanson’s body.
“Ahh!”
Papa Hanson, who was still being dealt with Alex using his Soul Banishing Touch, suddenly cried out loudly. After that, he plopped down on the ground and stopped moving.
Ba-dump!
Papa Hanson was dead!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1274
Maya Howards quickly walked over to check if Papa Hanson was still breathing. “I didn’t think his life would end like this! Alex, is the Blood Cult really that scary? They actually can’t control themselves when they meet people with activated bloodlines. In that case, wouldn’t those with activated bloodlines be in danger if they bump into such people?” she asked sadly in the end.
Alex Rockefeller declined to comment. He searched Papa Hanson’s body, but he didn’t find anything on him.
Soon, Anna Coleman rushed over in her car. She was wearing a halter top and breezy denim shorts. Her long, slender legs made Alex’s head spin.
Alex felt speechless. “Are you kidding me? Is that all you’re wearing?” he asked.
Anna glanced at Maya before she spoke. “You were the one who asked me to put my pants on and come immediately. I didn’t even dare to use the toilet. I’m still holding it in. I rushed right over! Master, you’re asking for too much!” Anna said.
“Did you really hold it in?” Alex asked.
“What do you think? It’s almost going to come out, and it’s all because of you!” Anna exclaimed.
For some reason, Alex felt that her words had a foul meaning.
Alex waved his hands. “Alright. Take this corpse back!”
“Huh? Wasn’t he alive before? Why’s he dead now?” Anna asked.
“He committed suicide!” Alex said.
“Then, what’s the point? Just get someone from the funeral parlor to cremate it,” Anna said.
“You can investigate his identity,” Alex said.
As soon as he said this, Alex suddenly recalled that Papa Hanson was Quois Haven’s boss. He had run his business on University Street for many years. Based on his cultivation and unique identity as a member of the Blood Cult, he might have left some clues behind at the noodle restaurant or his house.
“Let’s check out Quois Haven,” Alex immediately said.
Maya’s heart thumped a little. She immediately returned to Quois Haven with Alex. Liam Lockher and the rest who celebrated Maya’s birthday with her had left long ago. Right then, there wasn’t a single person in the restaurant.
The two of them searched around in the restaurant, but they didn’t find anything special.
“Maya, do you know where he normally stays?” Alex asked.
Firstly, Alex wanted to find out about Papa Hanson’s relationship with Blood Cult. Secondly, he wanted to see if he could acquire any treasures.
The Celestial Oceanic Bead he acquired earlier was very powerful.
Previously, Alex really was imprisoned by the pearl’s Oceanic Force. If it weren’t for the help he received from the mysterious pearl in his upper energy core, he might have remained imprisoned. He might have even ended up being murdered by Papa Hanson. However, the mysterious pearl was able to unravel the Oceanic Force’s prison on its own and absorb its energy. Only then was Alex able to escape effortlessly.
“I seem to remember that he stayed in a villa area in Golden Manor. He has a villa there. I went there in the past,” Maya said.
Golden Manor was where Hailey Lawson’s grandfather lived. It was also somewhere Daya Stoermer had lived in the past.
“Let’s go over and check it out! ” Alex immediately said.
“Sure thing,” Maya said.
“I’ll come and have a look, too,” Anna instantly said.
Alex shook his head. “There’s still a corpse out there. You should deal with it first so that nobody gets frightened.”
“I’ve already asked a colleague from the Divine Constabulary to come and deal with it. Don’t worry,” Anna said.
As such, Anna managed to stay behind and become the third wheel. It made Maya very unhappy.
Soon, the three of them arrived at No. 17 Villa in Golden Manor.
After breaking the lock with his spiritual power, Alex took the lead to walk inside. In the very next second, he shuddered violently. He was stunned.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1275
“What a heavy dose of Yin energy!” Maya Howards contracted her neck.
Her cultivation of a half-stepped Grandmaster was different from the others. Silver Frost was something between martial arts and cultivation. Alex Rockefeller had come up with this cultivation technique based on his modification of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, and it gave Maya an advantage from the beginning.
Hence, Maya could sense the presence of Yin energy.
“There’s also a very dense form of blood energy!” Anna Coleman wrinkled her nose as she inhaled. The scent nearly made her choke.
Meanwhile, Alex’s facial expression turned gloomy. He looked in a particular direction, and he could feel a little more than the other two.
All three of them walked into the villa. After that, the eerie sensation only worsened. They had goosebumps without even knowing it.
Inside Maya’s body, Silver Frost instantly began to operate on its own to form an invisible protective layer. This caused the surrounding temperature to dip even further. Among them, Anna’s cultivation was the weakest. Since she was originally standing next to Maya, she could sense the sudden coldness, and she immediately jumped nervously.
Anna thought an enemy had attacked her. But when she turned around, she realized that it was Maya. Anna’s body was also feeling a little overwhelmed. Her teeth were chattering.
Right then, a large hand pressed against her waist. Immediately after that, a very comfortable warmth emitted from the hand and nourished the veins and organs in her body. It quickly dissolved the intense coldness.
Anna didn’t need to guess to know that it was Alex’s hand. Her tense body slowly relaxed, and she leaned against Alex’s body. “Thank you, Master!” Anna said.
Maya looked over. A flash of light appeared in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything.
“Anna, there must be something strange in this villa. Why don’t you wait outside? We’ll tell you what’s going on once we finish investigating,” Alex said.
“No way? Are you not going to let me go inside?” Anna immediately looked sad and reluctant. “Master, you’re going to protect me, aren’t you? I’m your disciple. You can’t treat me like a flower in the greenhouse. I’ll become weak and die. You ought to show me the world! Besides, isn’t your wife here too? I’ll definitely not be in danger,” Anna added.
The way Anna addressed Maya made the latter feel a little embarrassed.
Maya chuckled. “Alex, I didn’t know when you accepted Anna as your disciple. However, since she’s already here, let her come in with us! We don’t know the Blood Cult’s stuff very well. Anna is more experienced in investigative work. She’ll probably be able to help out,” Maya said.
“That’s right, that’s right. Your wife knows best.” Anna didn’t forget to praise Maya.
“Alright. But remember, don’t simply touch anything, and don’t go more than two meters away from me,” Alex said helplessly.
“Don’t worry. As soon as there’s danger, I’ll immediately jump onto you,” Anna said.
Alex was speechless.
‘Are you trying to get me into trouble?’ Alex wondered.
Inside, the villa’s design and layout were no different from the other villas.
Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see anything out of place when they came in. They’d only smell the bloody scent… However, this smell was mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance. With the two mixed, the smell became a little odd.
Alex directly walked into a room. He lifted an expensive looking carpet off the ground.
Whoosh!
A closed entrance was revealed under the carpet. It was a door made of alloy.
There was a biometric fingerprint lock on it.
Alex pointed at the door. “The Yin energy and bloody scent came from within this place,” he said.
Anna’s body was invaded by more Yin energy than the others. She shivered slightly before moving even closer to Alex. Her entire body was practically leaning against him on one side. It felt much better this way. Anna then pointed at the biometric fingerprint lock and started to speak “I’m afraid this will require Mr. Hanson’s fingerprint to unlock. I’ll call my colleague right now and get him to send the corpse over. ”
“That won’t be necessary,” Alex said shaking his head.
He walked over.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1276
Alex Rockefeller lifted his fist and punched the biometric fingerprint lock.
Boom!
A loud collision was heard. Forget the biometric fingerprint lock, even the entire alloy door had caved in completely.
Alex tugged at the spot where the door had curved upward. After some force was exerted, a creaking sound could be heard under the door before it was pulled open.
“Oh my goodness!”
“It’s so cold!”
Anna Coleman was engulfed by a thick layer of Yin energy that rushed out. She immediately jumped onto Alex’s back and clasped her hands around Alex’s face. However, Anna was only wearing a halter top and a pair of short denim.
As such, Alex could feel the soft pressure against his back. His heart started to pound against his will. On top of that, Anna’s legs were also wrapped around his waist. This posture inevitably made him feel excited.
Meanwhile, Maya Howards’ Silver Frost strengthened further. She glanced at Alex, and her gaze intensified. Right then, a high-pitched sound could be heard from the passageway that connected to the basement.
It sounded like a cat.
Right after that, cats were meowing one after another. It sounded like these cats were somewhere deep in the basement.
“Hey, why are there cats meowing down there? It sounds like there are a lot of them. Could this be a place that’s used specifically for rearing cats?” Anna leaned against Alex’s body as she curiously cocked her head to look through the entrance to the basement. Finally, she seemed to have caught sight of a person’s shadow.
“Ahh! There’s someone down there. I saw something. I really did. It’s a woman,” Anna cried out in shock.
Alex patted her on the back “That’s not a human. It’s a ghost!”
“Ahh…” Anna shouted in surprise.
Immediately after that, she realized that Alex had patted her on the buttocks earlier. It was a very awkward spot too. Anna bit her lip and kept her mouth shut.
Maya also felt a little nervous.
Alex smiled before holding Maya’s hand. “Don’t worry. You’re wearing the Galactic Protection Amulet. Ordinary ghosts won’t dare to come near you!”
“Master, what’s a Galactic Protection Amulet? Can I have one too?” Anna asked nervously.
Alex made the Galactic Protection Amulet according to the first sword of the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six. It was modeled after the Dragon Bone Sword’s blueprint. After figuring it out on his own, Alex carved the formation on a piece of emerald and made it into a protection amulet. He named it the Galactic Protection Amulet.
“I don’thave another one. I’ll make you one when I’m free next time,” Alex said.
“Don’t worry. I’m your greatest protection amulet,” Alex said after a pause.
When Anna heard this, she hugged Alex even more tightly.
Alex secretly rolled his eyes. To be honest, he was secretly pleased with the outcome. Anna was practically squishing him!
‘Tigress, don’t you feel pain? Don’t you feel anything?’ Alex thought.
After going through the entrance, they started walking down a bending pathway. Based on the progress they made, this place had far exceeded the depth of an ordinary basement. The further down they went, the heavier the Yin energy. The sound of cats meowing also grew louder… Until finally, a huge round pit appeared before them. It had a diameter of up to a hundred meters, and it was so deep that the bottom of it couldn’t be seen.
It contained dark red stuff that smelled bloody.
Blood!
This was a blood pool.
Meanwhile, there were countless black cats above and around the blood pool!
There were up to ten thousand such black cats. Each black cat was connected to a tiny tube from which fresh blood dripped into the blood pool below them.
When the group of people saw such a shocking scene, their scalps tingled.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1277
“Meow, meow, meow…”
Perhaps it was due to the presence of strangers, the black cats around the blood pool started meowing loudly. What was it like to hear a group of cats meowing together? Three to five cats meowing was already horrifying. Meanwhile, there were up to ten thousand cats meowing here!
It sounded like babies crying. The eerie yet willful crying made Alex Rockefeller and the rest feel extremely uncomfortable. They felt goosebumps all over their bodies, their hearts felt cold, and the soles of their feet felt chilly too.
“This… This… What is this?” Anna Coleman hugged Alex tightly as she stammered.
She realized that her sphincter muscles were a little tight. Her legs were gripping very tightly. If it weren’t for Alex’s broad back providing her an immense sense of security as well as pressing against her muscle, she might have peed herself from the fear.
Maya Howards wasn’t doing any better. Her face had turned pale, and she couldn’t help but lean over to hold Alex’s hand.
Apart from her instinctual fear, she felt that her understanding of Papa Hanson had been completely turned upside down. He had collected such a large blood pool in the place he lived, and he gathered such massive amounts of black cats to drain their blood.
What was he trying to do?
Moreover, Maya instantly recalled something. Back when she worked in Quois Haven, she’d seen Papa Hanson adopting black cats before. He even set up a cat adoption station once. He seemed to be especially fond of black cats. Back then, Maya simply thought that Papa Hanson was a very kind hearted man. Now, come to think of it, those black cats were all used by him for this purpose.
Woosh…
Suddenly, an eerie wind started to blow above the blood pool.
Immediately, up to ten thousand of those black cats that were meowing intensely seemed as if they had been given a command. Or it was perhaps they saw something terrifying. All their green eyes became wide and round, and their black fur also stood up. They all stopped meowing at once.
The place that was filled with hellish crying earlier suddenly became dead silent. The huge contrast was tough to get used to.
“Did… Did something come out from the blood pool?” Maya asked with a tone of uncertainty.
Alex nodded. “Yes!”
“Is there really something? What is it?” Anna asked.
“It’s a female ghost! I thought Mr. Hanson was a more humane member of the Blood Cult who only used cat blood but not human blood. It seems like I overestimated him. Quite a number of people had died in this blood pool!” Alex said.
Although the two women couldn’t see it clearly, Alex could see through everything. There were a total of nine women’s souls that emerged from the blood pool. These women’s souls had long turned into resentful spirits.
Since their corpses remained in this blood pool after they died, their souls became resentful spirits that resided in this place ever since.
“Ghosts?” Anna shuddered.
“That’s right. Would you like to see them?” Alex asked.
Although Anna was afraid, she was still Tigress from the Divine Constabulary. After adjusting herself a little, she finally mustered the courage to hop off Alex’s back.
After that, Alex activated the two women’s spiritual eyes to see the presence of ghosts.
“Oh my goodness!” As soon as Anna’s spiritual eyes were activated, she shouted out loud.
She noticed the female ghosts staring at her directly from two meters away. That feeling was way too terrifying!
“Maiko Chiba!” Alex took out the Stake of Exorcism and immediately summoned the Japanese female ghost general.
Shuffle!
Maiko Chiba instantly appeared before them and bowed to Alex. “Master, what can I do for you?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1278
With a single look, Alex Rockefeller’s gaze immediately shook.
He could see that Maiko Chiba wasn’t wearing any clothes at all.
Maya Howards and Anna Coleman, who just had their spiritual eyes activated, could see everything clearly.
Anna immediately looked at Alex oddly. “Master? Is the female ghost you raised? Why isn’t she wearing any clothes? She even looks so pretty. Could this be what you used to… Did you mirror her after Courtney Nicol’s beautiful looks?” Anna asked.
“Courtney Nicol’s beautiful looks? What the hell?” Alex exclaimed.
“A Japanese ghost!” Anna said.
Only then did Alex understand What she meant. He glared at her. “I’ll make her sleep with you tonight,” he said.
Anna instantly begged for forgiveness.
Finally, Alex turned to look at Maiko. “Where are your clothes?” he asked with a frown.
Maiko didn’t seem at all embarrassed. “I’m not a human. Why would I have clothes? Ever since I officially acquired the rank of ghost general, all the things that bound my identity before no longer existed. I have outgrown my looks as a ghost who wore clothes before. Now, this is the real me,” Maiko said gently and calmly.
Alex felt speechless.
However, after he searched for information about ghost cultivators in the Ultimate Book of Medicine, he discovered a passage describing how ghost generals were reincarnated.
Humans were able to reincarnate, and so were ghost cultivators.
After reincarnating, ghost cultivators could officially be considered as entering the cultivation phase. Even without their physical body, they wouldn’t die in the natural world for no reason. Instead, they could absorb some Earth essence, the essence of the Sun and Moon, or other types of energy to strengthen themselves. In fact, in the future, they could even progress further and become a Demonic God.
“Master, whatever you’d like me to wear, I’ll wear it. It can all be done at the snap of a finger. Do you like this?” Maiko later said.
After making a spin, Maiko reappeared in an incredibly sexy outfit that involved a tiny thong.
“D*mn!” Alex stared straight ahead.
Maiko immediately changed into another even more sexy outfit. Parts of her that should have been covered weren’t, and parts that didn’t need to be covered were.
Even Anna’s eyes lit up as she pointed at Alex. “Oh, I get it now! Master, you intentionally make her dress up in a sexy outfit for your visual enjoyment! Master, your hobby is very masculine!”
Alex seemed annoyed.
“You, get changed into something normal. Otherwise, I’ll kill you with lightning! ” Alex yelled at Maiko.
After making another spin, Maiko changed into a regular outfit.
Upon taking another look, the resentful spirits of those women earlier had long disappeared.
Meanwhile, the black cats’ fur all stood up even further. They were all trembling too. This was because Maiko was a ghost of an even higher rank, and she terrified them.
“Those resentful spirits hiding in the blood pool are all yours now!” As soon as Alex said this, Maiko dived into the blood pool right away.
After ghosts turned into resentful spirits, it didn’t matter how kind they were back when they lived. After dying, they would only cause negative influences in the human world. Moreover, after coming inside, Alex noticed a blood rune spell formation on the back of the alloy door in the passageway. It was used to seal this blood pool away. Otherwise, these resentful spirits might go outside and harm other people.
Right then, Anna sighed. “Members of the Blood Cult really have hurt a lot of people! The ancestor of the Blood Cult back in Michigan’s Amaryllis Tower was like this. Now, the noodle restaurant’s owner seems even more terrifying than him! Say, why do you think he made such a big blood pool? Does he swim in it?” Anna asked.
Alex nodded. “You’re not wrong. In fact, he probably sleeps in there too,” he said.
“Sleep… Inside?” Anna nearly hit her tongue off.
Right then, Maiko finished her meal and resurfaced from the blood pool. A few resentful spirits were a piece of cake for a ghost general like Maiko.
“Master, there’s something at the bottom of the blood pool,” Maiko said after she came up.
“What is it?” Alex was stunned for a moment.
Maiko shook her head. “I’m not too sure. But I didn’t dare to get too close. It feels dangerous,” she said.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1279
After hearing what Maiko Chiba said, Alex Rockefeller scratched his head. He was put in a tight spot now.
This blood pool was filled with sticky blood from black cats. There was probably even human blood from those nine resentful spirits before they died. Moreover, if Alex’s guess wasn’t wrong, those nine people could very likely be people with unique bloodlines too. They were the kind of people with activated bloodlines.
The problem was that the blood pool was way too disgusting. How would an ordinary person like Alex dare to go down there?
However, he came looking for this place to search for treasures.
Now that Maiko seemed to have discovered a treasure down there, there was no reason for him not to get it.
“Is there any way to drain the blood from this blood pool?” Alex asked.
“Why don’t I have a go at it?” Maya Howards said right then.
Alex nodded without refusing her suggestion.
After that, he saw Maya walking up to the blood pool. She placed one hand above the blood pool.
Silver Frost was activated.
Immediately, the temperature around Maya began to drop. The spot she stood on even turned white with frost. Meanwhile, the part of the blood pool that came into contact with her palm started to emanate cold air. A thin layer of ice began to form on the surface of the blood pool.
After that, the ice rapidly spread. It was going to freeze up the entire blood pool.
Alex’s eyes lit up.
He had created Silver Frost by using only a tiny section of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, but he had never tried cultivating it. He didn’t expect it to have such great results on Maya.
Meanwhile, Anna was utterly shocked. She was awfully envious.
Anna tugged at Alex’s hand. “Master, what kind of martial arts is this? Isn’t it way too amazing?” she asked softly.
“Silver Frost!” Alex said.
“Can I learn it?” Anna asked.
“No, you can’t,” Alex said.
Anna immediately pulled at her hair. “I knew it. Only your women can acquire your true legacy. Look, I’ve called you Master so many times, but you’ve not taught me a single bit of martial arts!” Anna complained.
Alex looked at her. “You think too much,” he said.
“Not at all. This is the truth. Why don’t I stop being your disciple and become your woman instead? What do you think?” Anna asked.
Alex shook his head. “It’s really not what you think. It’s because Maya’s body has a unique bloodline compared to ordinary people. Look, from the time she first started cultivating, it’s only been three months. Now, she’s already a half-stepped Grandmaster. Who else could progress as fast as her? Even the youngest Earth rank experts, who claim to be the number one genius in America, are just pieces of trash compared to Maya,” Alex said.
Anna was dumbfounded by what she heard.
From a person without any martial arts foundation, Maya had become a half-stepped Grandmaster in three months. What kind of concept was this?
Even taking a rocket to space wouldn’t be this fast.
However, Alex had no reason to lie to Anna about things like this… Anna had met Maya a long time ago. Indeed, Maya looked very ordinary back then, unlike how she was now. Now, with the flip of her hand, Maya could turn an entire pool of blood into ice.
Right then, Alex dashed over to Maya.
The blood pool was honestly too big. Freezing the entire blood pool by herself was still a little too energy consuming. By the end of it, Maya found it a little difficult to continue using her Chi energy. Alex quickly pressed his hand on her back and transferred spiritual energy continuously into her body. Since Silver Frost originated from the Ultimate Book of Medicine, Alex’s spiritual power could pass through her body without affecting her at all.
In the next second, the cold energy in Maya’s body became even more concentrated.
Cold air started vaporizing above the blood pool, releasing a sizzling sound. The temperature in the entire space was dropping rapidly.
Even the blood dripping from the tubes connected to the ten thousand black cats had become frozen within.
“Whew..!” Maya pulled her palm away and let out a long sigh of relief.
With a slight shake of her hand, the icicles that had formed on her hand from the black cats’ blood instantly shattered and fell off. Maya then wiped the sweat off her forehead before looking over at Alex.
“This blood pool is much deeper than I had imagined. I nearly collapsed,” Maya said.
Alex hugged her and laughed. “You did great. I didn’t think Silver Frost could produce such magnificent results when used under extreme circumstances. With you in the house, we won’t even need a refrigerator anymore,” Alex said.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1280
Maiko Chiba floated above the blood pool. When she saw how it turned into a huge pool of bloody ice, she felt equally amazed.
Anna Coleman tried stepping onto the blood pool, and she realized that it was very firm. She wasn’t afraid of falling at all.
“Mrs. Rockefeller, you really are amazing! If I had abilities like this, I’d wake up smiling from my dreams!” Anna exclaimed.
Maya Howards chuckled. “You can get your master to create a set of customized cultivation techniques for you. To be honest, a technique like turning water into ice isn’t complicated!”
After that, Alex Rockefeller also hopped onto the blood pool and broke it with brute force.
Boom!
With a single punch, he created a massive hole in the pool.
Boom, boom, boom!
According to the direction Maiko had pointed out earlier, Alex directly created a massive pit in the pool of frozen blood by punching it. Together, the three of them moved those cubes of frozen blood out of the way.
When everyone looked at the bottom of the blood pool, they indeed saw several corpses.
But this wasn’t the main point.
The main point was that they saw a rectangular pit in the center of the blood pool. Inside the pit, there was something that looked like a box made of glass.
Due to a large number of blood marks on it, they couldn’t see clearly what the box contained.
Maiko pointed at the box. “Master, this is it. I feel there is a lot of danger in it. As soon as I got close, my body trembled all over.”
Without Maiko having to explain it again, Alex and the rest also felt it.
The glass box was emanating waves of Yin energy.
“What is inside this box?” Anna was very curious.
She stepped onto the box and used her shoe to wipe off the blood marks. She then looked downward… In the next second, she jumped. Fortunately, Alex was observant and agile enough to catch her in his arms. Otherwise, she would’ve fallen to the ground.
“Inside… There’s someone inside!” Anna stammered. She was nearly scared out of her wits.
Alex couldn’t resist laughing. “It’s just a human’s corpse. You’re the battle god, Tigress, from the Divine Constabulary. Are you actually afraid of a corpse? People would laugh their teeth off if word got out,” Alex said.
Maya also looked over. “Alex, look at this person. It’s really quite strange. It doesn’t look like a corpse at all. In fact, she’s quite pretty! This is probably a frozen coffin. The body is very well preserved!”
As Maya spoke, she activated Silver Frost to freeze the blood on the box completely and shattered it. In the next second, a complete, clean, and flawless crystal coffin appeared before their eyes.
A young, pretty girl was lying in it. She looked to be around the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Wearing a clean, breezy dress, she lay silently inside the frozen coffin. It was almost as if she had fallen asleep.
Anna shook her head and sighed softly. “Such a pretty girl. I wonder how she’s related to the noodle restaurant’s owner. Could this be his biological daughter?”
Earlier, Alex’s vision was blocked by Anna. He hadn’t seen what the female corpse really looked like.
Now that he’d let go of Anna, he stared at the corpse.
In the next second, Alex seemed as if he had been struck by lightning. “Her… How can it be her?” Alex asked.
“Do you know her?” Anna asked.
Alex nodded. “Her name is Hayley Hanson. She was my high-school classmate,” he said.
