Ch. 1691..1700

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1691

After dealing with Koda, Waltz hugged Alex’s arm and said, “Alex, there’s something big spreading through the internet! There was this battle between powerful cultivators above the cities of Michigan! They even crushed a building with one mere step! That’s way too insane, isn’t it? How could such powerful humans exist?”

“It came up online?” replied Alex.

“Yeah, everyone’s talking about it now. I was just telling Maya about this too… Huh? You know about it already? Could you have been a part of that battle? You just came back from Michigan, right?”

“That person was there to kill me!”

Just as Alex said this, the women started panicking. “What even happened?”

“Yeah, how did you manage to provoke such a powerful person?”

Alex said, “Let’s head inside first; it’s pretty cold out here… Oh, and it’s almost new year’s eve, right? But I don’t think I can spend time at home with you all that day.”

“Why?” asked Maya.

“Because I have to go to school!” Alex replied.

With that, everyone entered Alex’s room. Waltz and Maya sat on the bed next to each other whereas Brittany sat on a chair nearby and Holly sat on the floor. They listened attentively to him as he talked ab out the Stone Age realm, the meteor, the dungeon, the Five-star Warlord, the Flying Eagles Academy…

Alex then realized that among the women, Holly was the only one who didn’t seem shocked by his stories, as if she knew all of this long ago.

His eyes lit up, and he asked, “Holly, you’re not unfamiliar to all those things, are you?”

Holly shook her head, and upon noticing Alex’s gaze on her, she bowed. “I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t tell you the truth. I’m not an orphan!”

She then noticed that everyone was smiling at her.

“You guys made that assumption already?”

“We were just waiting for you to tell us yourself!” said Waltz.

Holly pouted. “Alright, I’ll be honest My dad is the president of the Mountain Warriors, and l secretly ran away from home… Brother, Godmother, I didn’t mean to lie. I was just worried that you guys would kick me out once you found out! My mom died when I was still really young, and I miss her so much. That’s why seeing you, Godmother, felt like I was seeing my mom again…”

Holly then wiped her tears.

Brittany approached her immediately and gave her a big hug. “Oh, don’t cry. I already see you as my own!”

Maya and Waltz came over to hug her as well.

On the other hand, everyone rolled their eyes at Alex.

“Hey, I didn’t do anything. Why is everyone blaming me for this?”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. A little girl walked in, barefooted. “Papa, Nana, Auntie, why are all of you here? I’m afraid of sleeping alone.”

It was Winniefred, and she was currently only in a set of small pajamas.

Now that her mother, Zella, was still training with Dorothy on the Untitled Island, she couldn’t spend any more time with Winniefred. Moreover, Alex, her so-called father, wasn’t home most of the time. Brittany had to take care of her.

Hence, even during the night, Brittany would sleep next to her… It was great that Lush Cosmetics was on a roll, thus, Maya could handle everything on her own.

With this, Brittany could go on semi-retirement. Apart from making the more critical decisions for the business, she basically didn’t have to manage anything else.

Alex picked Winniefred up, feeling slightly guilty towards her.

As soon as she was picked up from Alaska, she was forced to leave her mother. However, he wasn’t able to take good care of her either. It was fortunate that Brittany was very fond of her, and she was able to take great care of the little girl.

“Winnie! Did you miss Papa?”

“Mhm!” she nodded and continued, “I miss Mommy too.”

Alex smiled. “Then why don’ t I bring you to see Mommy tomorrow?”

Winniefred’s eyes widened. “Really?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1692

Alex replied, “Of course.”

“Papa mustn’t lie! Pinky promise?”

“Pinky, promise!”

Seeing the two interacting, Maya and Waltz looked toward each other, seemingly thinking of the same thing.

They were the first few to get close to Alex, and it had almost been half a year since they’d moved in together as well. Even then, they still couldn’t achieve the last stage of their relationship, which made them slightly worried. However, as women, beauties no less, it was hard for them to make the first move.

After that, Brittany brought Winniefred and Holly out of the room.

She wanted to sleep next to these two unrelated family members, her daughter, and granddaughter, and spend time with them. However, it was unclear if she was actually trying to create opportunities for Maya and Waltz to get closer to her son.

Waltz then took a bottle of wine and a tall wine glass for each of them.

“Brother!”

“Did you know that Maya has some pretty determined admirers lately?”

Alex was stunned. “Huh? Really? Who are they?”

Waltz asked, “What? Do you really want to know?”

Alex turned to Maya and noticed that she looked flustered as if she was a young girl in love. Seeing this made him slightly uncomfortable and jealous, since he had viewed this ‘godsister’ as his woman after all.

Although no one really thought anything of their relationship, they had hugged, kissed, and slept with each other before. All that’s left was the last stage, so he didn’t quite understand the change of heart.

Unexpectedly, Maya replied. “Waltz, why are you talking about me? Speak for yourself! That celebrity from Hong Kong may be the idol of millions of girls, yet he managed to go up to your offices to chase after you. He even gave you flowers and cars! So, how’s it going with him? Hey brother, do you want to help her keep an eye out?”

Alex’s expression gloomed, as though he had been stabbed in the gut.

‘I’ve only been away for a month. How did things change this drastically? Someone’s trying to get it on with them?’

‘I’d have to be away for at least half a year next time. Would that mean that by then, they might’ve gotten engaged?’

“Brother, why look so grumpy?”

“Do you not want Waltz to find a boyfriend?”

Alex was so frustrated that he was going to puke blood a t this point. He mumbled unwillingly, “Doesn’t she already have a boyfriend? Why would she need another?”

“Huh? Who is it?”

“Am I not her boyfriend?”

“But it’s not like you’ve ever treated her like a girlfriend! Boyfriends should love and care and spoil their girlfriends, yet you’ve never expressed any of that! Youth is temporary, you know? You can’t get it back no matter how much you try. So why shouldn’t

she find her Mr. Right at this age? I think that celebrity is a pretty good guy. He looks great, and he can sing and act too! More importantly, he treats Waltz right. I‘d say that they’ll be bearing a cute little baby too…”

Waltz looked at Alex’s expression and chuckled. “Oh Maya, stop that! I’m getting a little embarrassed here! You should grab yourself a man too, and we’d get married together! Let’s have Alex be our witness too. He’d be a great uncle to our children.”

Alex was getting increasingly furious when he heard this, but something just didn’t seem right.

‘F*ck being a witness!’

‘F*ck being an uncle!’

He then downed the entire glass of wine and grabbed the two of them by their arm. “Fine! I see how it is. So both of you are thinking and discussing men, huh? You’re starting to envision marriage, huh? Then dream on if you want me to be the witness! I’m not even going to be the child’s uncle. I want to be the father!”

“Are you sure, Alex?”

“Of course I am!”

“Then let’s make some babies right now! They’ll be all over you calling you dad!”

With that, the room erupted into a mess. After spending an entire night without sleep, Alex was drained of energy. His eyes appeared puffy while his mind was blurry.

At the time, Maya, whose cultivation had been improving significantly, was massaging his waist apologetically. “I’m so sorry, Alex. I didn’t know it’d end up like this either.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1693

Alex waved his hand back and forth, seemingly still weak. “Don’t apologize, I’m just useless… I’m too weak!”

Waltz immediately said, “Brother, I’ll just get you some medicine. Which one do you want? Do you need to replenish your blood energy or your kidneys?”

“I… I don’t think replenishments will help!”

“I just hope this doesn’t impair my cultivation.”

Maya was extremely heartbroken after seeing how helpless Alex was. She started tearing up. “Brother, this is all my fault. If I didn’t force you to… Then you wouldn’t have ended up like this. What do we do? Can I give you back the Chi? I won’t ever force you again.”

Alex was sweating profusely. “I just don’t have enough energy. It’s alright. I’ll just make sure I become stronger from now on.”

He was helpless in this situation.

Maya’s bloodline was just way too powerful. Not only was her scent addictive, but her cultivation was also improving at a drastic rate as well. She was capable of turning a man extremely lightheaded while doing the deed and squeeze every last drop of fluid out of them. Moreover, it wasn’t just squeezing out his fluids, she was taking his Chi. As soon as they started, she would keep sucking it out of him like a leech.

‘She’s even worse than the Chaos Bead!’

Waltz couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “Looks like your days of sexual enjoyment are coming to an end, brother!”

“Next time, Maya just needs to give it to you once, and you’ll be weak for an entire month! Haha! Let’s see how you can keep on flirting with other girls then!”

Alex looked extremely awkward after hearing this. However, it was then that he realized that the Ultimate Book of Medicine was activated, running in his mind like crazy. It was helping him replenish, sucking all the natural spiritual energy from his surroundings. It was unfortunate that this place lacked spiritual energy. At most, there were just a few units of it.

‘Oh right! I still have the spiritual stones!’

The spiritual stones were currently placed in the storage purse.

Alex immediately grabbed one out and clenched onto it. As if the Force could sense it, it started absorbing the spiritual energy coming from the stone all by itself, quenching his entire body, thirsting for such energy. Moreover, the absorption rate seemed abnormally fast as well. One stone turned into a pile of dust within seconds.

With the spiritual energy flowing within him, his entire body was starting to feel replenished again. Alex could feel his energy returning. Hence, he decided to take another stone and absorbed it, just like he did with the last one.

Slowly, he managed to absorb three, four… Thirty stones.

Seeing him like this, Maya and Waltz stayed silent as they sat next to him, acting as guardians.

Alex closed his eyes tight, absorbing the spiritual energy within the stones and turning them into pure spiritual power. Since this mechanism was repetitive, he didn’t have to use much mental strength. Suddenly, when he took another stone out, he couldn’t seem to absorb any spiritual energy from it, no matter how hard he tried.

‘Huh? My spiritual power isn’t at its limit yet. Why can’t I absorb anything?’

He opened his eyes to look at the stone, confused, to only realize that he had grabbed the wrong thing.

He wasn’t holding a stone at all but the log he got from Hygieia Valley’s treasury. Since it was heavy, it was obviously a hundred times better than regular wood.

However, it was clearly just an ordinary log, which was why it didn’t seem to contain any spiritual energy.

Just then, as if the Force affected the log, causing it to actually start glowing green. In a mere second, it formed into a ray of light and entered Alex’s palm. With this, the green light entered his mind palace, staying next to the Chaos Bead, silently.

‘Wh… What is this really?’ Alex was so shocked that his eyes widened, mouth agape.

Using internal vision, he immediately checked what was happening in his mind palace. He then noticed that the green light was still just a ball of green light. As if it had a blurry layer, he couldn’t tell what was going on within.

‘Ah, whatever!’ Alex thought as he gave up researching it since his mind palace was storing more and more items as if it were a garage. After that, he continued to absorb spiritual energy from spiritual stones. Only then, Alex felt as if he was well and alive again.

Moreover, the spiritual power within him seemed to have improved slightly too. This would help him activate his powers better and improve both his speed and strength.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1694

At ten in the morning, Alex brought Winniefred along to meet up with Dorothy. Dorothy had turned into her “Aunt Rockefeller” form.

An hour later, Alex finally reached the deserted island on the coast of Oregon, which Dorothy had bought with twenty billion.

He initially thought that this place would be like a wasteland, so it would be hard for the four princesses and Zella to be training here. After all, the conditions here weren’t exactly the best.

Unexpectedly, that wasn’t the case at all. As soon as they landed, Alex could hear the sound of large machines operating. They might have been running a piling rig at the time.

On the north side of the island was a pier, where hundreds of workers were busy working on its expansion, moving as efficiently as possible like they had other work to tend to later.

Winniefred looked around curiously. “This place is so pretty!”

Even though the pier was currently still in the makings, one could still tell that it sported a purposefully ancient yet elegant design. It seemed to be vintage and spiritual at the same time.

“Who designed this?” Alex asked, still holding Winniefred by the hand.

Holding Winniefred’s other hand, Dorothy pointed at herself. “So? Do you like it?”

Alex was shocked. “You know how to design such stuff? How did I not know about this?”

Dorothy shrugged. “The stuff on the Reincarnation Stone aren’t just made for cultivation training. There’s some other random stuff in there too. So even if I don’t want to learn it, it still automatically engraves such knowledge into my mind. I’m guessing that this was what Xienna learned in her past life.”

This was the second time Alex heard someone mention Xienna. His chest tightened as he turned around to give Dorothy a big hug. “Darling!”

Dorothy smiled. “I still have quite a bit of time, so I want to leave this place to our sons! Since I’m having twins, one of them has to take my last name. My family has only women left after all. I even thought of a name already. I’ll call him… Dex Assex.”

“Dicks? You mean like… Down there? Well, it’s your choice!”

“It’s spelled D.E.X! Oh my god!”

“Alright then.”

Alex caressed Dorothy’s stomach. “How are you so sure that you’d get pregnant this time?”

Dorothy seemed confident. “If I can’t even achieve something so trivial, then how would I be able to become a powerful cultivator? You really underestimate the powers of a Nascent Soul master.”

As they continued chatting, the three soon arrived at the center of the island. The scene shocked Alex once more. This place had been turned into a completely new city.

Not only did they have lots of accommodations, they even had a large plaza.

At the time, Zella and the others were training on the Fair Maiden’s Heart Sutra.

Alex counted the heads and noticed that there were eight of them in total. Apart from the four princesses and Zella, the other three were strangers, but they were all women. The eight women were able to turn the mantra into a battle formation together.

It was way more destructive to fight together than to fight alone.

Noticing Alex’s confusion, Dorothy explained, “I found another three potential cultivators. All of them already have spiritual roots and talent in cultivation. With the eight of them together, they will be able to form a deadlock formation. Only then would they be able to show their true powers.”

“Zella, come here!” Dorothy gestured towards the woman in the plaza.

The eight women had noticed both Alex and Dorothy as soon as they arrived, especially Zella. She was this close to rushing over when she saw her daughter. Now that she was being called over, she practically ran towards them.

“Mommy!”

“Winnie missed you so so much!”

Winniefred ran to her mother too. The mother and daughter then embraced each other tightly.

Just then, another girl skipped toward Alex and exclaimed. “Alex… So it really was you. Why… What brings you here?”

Squinting his eyes gently, Alex exclaimed as well. “Priscilla?!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1695

Priscilla was one of Michelle’s disciples.

She was an extremely potent woman, considering she had Kyuhelios blood. Once, Alex had even borrowed some of her blood to help cure the parasitic worm in Leanne, Jack’s wife.

He wanted to train Priscilla personally at that time, but Michelle had her eyes on her first, and he put that thought away.

“Why are you here, Priscilla? Did you stop going to school?” Alex asked, still very much surprised.

“Do you know each other?” Dorothy asked. “No wonder this young girl’s martial arts seemed familiar. You were the one who taught her the art of Kyuhelios, right?”

Alex shook his head. “Nope, Michelle did.” With that, Alex told her everything that happened.

Dorothy said, “The amended version of the Kyuhelios you made is still too weak It can’t help her achieve a higher level of cultivation. Priscilla has a lot of potential, and her spiritual roots are of a pretty high level too. As long as we give her time, her powers would be out of this world! She has already surpassed Michelle at this point.”

Just then, one of the four princesses, Suzaku, approached them as well.

“Hey, Master Alex, long time no see!”

She looked the same as before but carried a completely different aura. Now, she looked more confident and arrogant; her gaze even taunting as she looked toward Alex.

“I wonder if you’ve improved on your skills lately? How much did you improve, hmm? Because I’d like to spar with you!”

The woman still held a grudge against him for defeating her and locking her core.

After training with Dorothy, she mastered a part of the Fair Maiden’s Heart Sutra, especially when it came to one-to-one combat. Now that she’d met up with Alex, she wanted to try out her skills on him. In actual fact, this was also one of the goals that she was aiming for. She wanted to have him under her foot one day.

Alex froze. “You want to spar with me? There’s no need for that, right?”

“Huh, are you scared, Master Alex?” Suzaku asked.

Alex glanced at Dorothy and replied, “Alright, since you have such courage to challenge me, show me just how much you’ve improved.”

Dorothy added, “Suzaku improved the quickest here, so don’t be too overconfident, else you might end up eating your words! [won’t help you even if you start crying from being beaten up. You can only blame yourself for being too weak.”

Hearing this, Alex was slightly appalled. ’Looks like Suzaku has become quite powerful now.’

“Alright!”

“How about this? Back then, you couldn’t even break my defense. So let’s see if you can now. If you can, then I’ll admit defeat!” Alex smiled.

“Why don’t we make a bet too?” Suzaku asked.

“A bet? Okay then, what would you like to bet on?”

Hearing this, the other three princesses, Seiryuu, Byakko, Genbu, and the other few women came over as well. Even Zella and Winniefred, who were still hugging each other, came to watch.

Suzaku thought about how embarrassing had been for her to wash Alex’s socks when she was still acting as his slave. As a proud empress to be, it was an outrageous insult to her.

She smiled. “If you lose, you have to wash my feet!”

Alex froze. “That’s it? Then what if I win?”

“Then I’ll wash yours.”

Suzaku had no idea that Aunt Rockefeller was Dorothy, Alex’s wife. If she did, she would’ve never made such a bet. However, everyone here thought that Aunt Rockefeller was just Alex’s aunt, hence such a bet wouldn’t make things awkward at all.

“Come at me then!” Alex raised his hand slightly, not moving an inch from where he stood as he activated his Mystic Armor.

Patterns of a turtle shell started showing up under his skin.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1696

“Fair Maiden’s Graceful Kick!”

Suzaku immediately gave him a harsh attack.

A loud explosion filled the air as talismans formed around her long leg, kicking Alex right on the chest This scene looked violent yet beautiful, scaring Winniefred so much that she closed her eyes and yelled, “Watch out, papa!”

‘What?’

‘That little girl is his daughter?’

‘Doesn’t that mean that Zella is his wife?’

Within the four princesses, Seiryuu and Byakko still remembered clearly what Alex had done to them, hence they held grudges against him as well.

Zella, however, had been training in the Fair Maiden’s Sutra under Aunt Rockefeller’s guidance. They managed to practice the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, which required everyone to connect both mind and soul. Hence, it was normal that they treated each other like sisters.

‘How are we going to keep spending time with each other after this?’

Dum!!!

A loud thud echoed through the air as yellow light shone from Alex’s body. He took the hit with ease.

Alex could tell that his powers hadn’t decreased even Maya had sucked him dry. On the contrary, it appeared that the spiritual energy and electric elemental powers within him were even more concentrated than before, as if wholly renewed. Moreover, his defense, the Mystic Armor, was way stronger than before.

He couldn’t help but feel grateful. ‘Looks like being sucked dry is still beneficial for me! Maya’s bloodline is just so strong. If I have a stronger body and stamina, wouldn’t my powers become stronger if I did it with her every day?’

However, spiritual stones depleted way too quickly, and neither did he have many of them.

“Second move, Fair Maiden‘s Storm Fist!”

Suzaku immediately launched a second attack after the first didn’t work. Just now, she had only used half her power, but now, she exerted eight percent of it.

Bish! Bish! Bish!

Without any warning, she punched him three times in a row.

The light of the Mystic Armor continued to shine through Alex’s body, but it wasn’t broken at all.

“Now this is getting interesting!”

“If you really want me to wash your feet, you’d need more power than that!” Alex said.

Suzaku frowned. She didn’t expect his defense to be this strong. She thought that she was ten times stronger than before.

Back then, she was just a mere Mystic rank fighter. However, after coming here, Aunt Rockefeller told them that fighters were no different from ordinary people. If one didn’t start their journey in cultivation, all their powers were just mere tricks without forming a base core to train.

Currently, she had surpassed many stages and formed her base core, becoming a true cultivator. Her current cultivation was at Spirit Transcendence level as well.

However, she didn’t know that Alex was at Core Formation now. Hence their powers were at a significant difference.

Alex, on the other hand, naturally noticed that Suzaku was at Spirit Transcendence, but her attacks were slightly stronger than usual Spirit Transcendence cultivators.

This was obviously thanks to the Fair Maiden Heart Sutra.

After the second attack, Suzaku realized a gap between them after she was unable to break Alex’s defense. Suzaku’s face turned pale as she asked, “Which stage in cultivation are you at?”

“I just passed the Core Formation tribulation a while ago,” replied Alex.

Pondering, Suzaku realized that there were two big stages and six little stage gaps between them. Besides, upgrading from Divine Transcendence to Core Formation was an extremely hard challenge. Core Formation was the stage where one could truly start their journey in cultivation within the cultivation world. Many ended up stuck at Divine Transcendence among cultivators, and even more had died during the lightning tribulation.

Eight out of ten people weren’t strong enough to survive it.

Dorothy spoke up. “Don’t beat yourself up. You have a large gap between you, to boot. Unless the eight of you team up and use the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, you wouldn’t be able to break his little turtle shell.”

“I don’t think eight Divine Transcendences would be able to break my defense even if they teamed up,” Alex questioned.

“Numbers ain’t the problem… It’s the gap between our cultivation powers.”

“Do you want to bet on it?” Dorothy asked. “I’m sure that they could break your defense if they teamed up.”

Alex asked, “What shall we bet on then?”

Seiryuu said, “If you lose, you have to wash all of our feet.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1697

Alex wanted to see just how powerful the Eight Desolated Killing Formation was. Just by the name, it did indeed sound quite terrifying.

“Alright then! I agree to this bet!” he said without hesitation and laughed.

Since Zella was part of the team, she put Winniefred down and turned to Alex. “Eight Desolated Killing Formation isn’t just a formation made by eight people you know? Its power is absolutely immense, so be careful.”

Suzaku said, “Hey Zella, which side are you even on right now? If you go easy on him on purpose, then what’s the point of this bet? You can only choose a side, your man or us.”

Zella blushed. “He’s not my man.”

“Then why did your daughter call him Papa?”

“He’s her godfather!”

Dorothy spoke up. “This will be a fair fight, so don’t go easy at all. If I find any of you doing so, their cores will be destroyed, and they’ll be banished from this island.”

Alex asked, “Do you have to be that brutal?”

Dorothy huffed. “It’s to prevent you from trying anything foolish. Give us your all, or do you really think you’re unbeatable?”

Alex smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Oh, Aunt, you have no idea who I’ve been with the past few days. I’ve been battling for a few days straight, and I just managed to escape! I have to go back into hiding tomorrow because I really can’t fight them anymore. Even just a mere disciple can beat me up like a punching bag.”

“What? How is that possible? Unless…”

“It’s okay, I’ll tell you all the details later. Let’s give your women’s army a try first!”

In just a few moments, the eight women stood together, standing in unique yet odd placements.

Winniefred yelled to Alex, “You can do it, Papa!”

She then turned to Zella. “You can do it too, Mommy!”

‘Hey, which side are you even on, kid?’

At the center of the Eight Desolated Killing Formation was Suzaku.

“White Tigress Power Realm! ” she yelled.

Ring!

Eight of them immediately shifted from their positions. Everyone emitted an intense aura as spiritual energy filled the air…

Among the eight women, Suzaku was the strongest fighter since she was at the middle stage of Spirit Transcendence.

Three of them were at the Spirit Transcendence stage as well, whereas the others were at a lower stage. Logically, it wouldn’t be possible for such a team to defeat a Core Formation stage cultivator.

However, Alex was very familiar with formation circles. He was able to see just how fascinating this formation was. Every position in the team benefitted the other. There weren’t any flaws or openings at all. This formation could even adjust accordingly to their opponent’s power.

The White Tigress Power Realm then formed a white tigress above the women’s heads. It looked surreal, standing twenty meters tall.

“Thousand Snowy Blades!” Suzaku shouted again.

The White Tigress then lunged towards Alex and attacked him.

Roar!

It roared to the sky.

Alex’s expression changed. He knew that this attack was much stronger than Suzaku’s. Not only did it connect and activate the spiritual power within all eight of them, but it even got help from the spiritual power from nature, making the formation ever more potent.

Alex could dodge the attack, but he chose not to. He did place a bet to see if they could break his defense after all.

He looked grim as he stomped his foot, activating his armor to its maximum defense. This formed a yellow turtle shell shield in front of him.

Boom!

The attack landed on the shield harshly. Alex could only withstand it for three seconds. After that, the shield broke.

The Thousand Snowy Blades won the bet with ease.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1698

As if an avalanche, the attack came down on Alex like a thousand falling boulders. Alex narrowed his eyes and called for the Sword of the Universe, using it to form a formation circle.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Loud explosions filled the air.

Alex was thrown back ten meters or so, leaving a long, deep trail on the ground.

Suzaku yelled again, “Breaking Swords Lock!”

“There’s more?” Alex froze, standing still as he contemplated if he should use the Seven Blades of Death and the Breaking Point.

However, thinking back to his status as a Core Formation cultivator, having to use the Sword of the Universe was embarrassing enough as was. If he had to use any other spiritual tool, it would be downright shameful.

‘I’ll just take it then!‘

Boom!

This time, Alex was sent flying back hundreds of meters. His clothes were all torn up as well.

Although they didn’t manage to break his entire defense down, he already looked a mess.

Standing on the Sword of Universe, he flew back and stared at the eight women below. With a smile, he said, “All of you are so strong! You won!”

After seeing his Imperial Sword Flight ability, the eight women knew that if he wanted to dodge them, they wouldn’t even be able to lay a finger on him from the start.

“Although you guys are of a lower level than me, you still managed to attack with such power. So you should definitely be proud of yourselves. Since my Mystic Armor broke, then I admit defeat,” Alex said calmly.

Priscilla said, “If you flew to the sky from the beginning, Alex, we couldn’t even hit you.”

“Then that would be cheating,” replied Alex.

Suzaku smiled. “You’re a man of your words, right? Now that you’ve lost remember to wash all eight of our feet. Don’t you dare leave a single one out!”

Zella was in an uncomfortable position. “This… This isn’t right, is it? It’s just… Too insulting to him!”

Dorothy then spoke up. “You guys just don’t know him well. Do you know what his biggest fetish is? It’s to touch the feet of a beauty. So imagine just how happy he feels now. Right, Alex Rockefeller?”

Alex obviously denied this. “Why would anyone be happy to wash someone’s feet? Why don’t you wash mine every day then, aunt?”

“Don’t make me spit on you.”

Dorothy then turned to everyone else. “Alright then, everyone, Alex is the one who lost this bet! So if any of you would like him to keep his end of the deal, go look for him whenever you like!”

“Besides all that, you guys should notice that no matter how powerful the Eight Desolated Killing Formation is, true masters will have a lot of other skills up their sleeves, along with extremely strong defenses. If Alex were to attack you guys with his swords, you wouldn’t even have the chance to attack him. Hence, keep working on improving yourselves. The higher your level, the stronger the formation will be.”

After saying this, she gestured towards Alex. “Come over here!”

In just a few moments, Alex and Dorothy ended up on the other side of the island.

“What did you mean by your words just now? Where are you going to hide?” Dorothy asked.

“Flying Eagles Academy!”

Alex then simply explained everything that had happened to him in the past few days. However, it was apparent that he didn’t tell her about what happened with Phoebe.

”The five-star commander, Jade Benmore?!”

“Hmm, I guess I would like to meet such a powerful woman.”

Dorothy seemed to be fflled with anticipation. “But the thing is, she is also far from being a top-level cultivator! It’ll be good to head to the Flying Eagles Academy, but first, get a grip on what’s going on within the Stone Age realm. Then we can plan on what to do later on.”

Alex asked, “Do you not want to go?”

Dorothy caressed her stomach and smiled gently. “I’m having a baby, so how can I?”

Alex didn’t know what to say.

“Besides, it’s prime time for the eight of them to get their base down. So I really can’t walk away from my responsibilities like this. If peace can only be maintained for another six months, we have to prepare ourselves fully before the time comes.”

Alex asked, “By the way, where did you say you wanted to bring me?”

Dorothy said, “Oh, it’s actually just a dungeon that I found unexpectedly… But since you’re leaving tomorrow, I can go in by myself!”

Alex replied, ”Why don’t I enroll at the academy first and maybe try to take a leave? Then we can check it out together.”

“That works too!”

Half a day later, Alex handed Jade some forms. Apart from his, the other two were Phoebe‘s and Holly’s.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1699

The left-wing troops of the Flying Eagles were holding a funeral. The Left-wing Lieutenant’s favorite son, also known as the first son of his generation, Maxwell Lawrence, had been killed.

It was rumored that he died a horrible death, where his corpse came back in pieces. There were even rumors of his murderer being Jade Benmore’s disciple, despite her status as Flying Eagles’ empress and the only five-star warrior in America.

The incident immediately spread throughout the Flying Eagles squad. Many started discussing if the rumors were true.

Since this was related to Jade and Lieutenant Colton Lawrence, everyone only dared to discuss it privately. This was because the two had extreme power and status in the squad, and their fighting skills were out of this world.

However, people were more curious about Jade’s disciple.

Boom!

A strong young man smashed a stone bench into pieces in the funeral hall of the Lawrences.

“Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”

“Are we just going to let that murderer run free? So what if they’re Benmore’s disciple? A murderer should die for their sins!”

This man was Maxwell’s older brother, Michael Lawrence.

At the very front of the hall was a middle-aged woman, Colton’s wife, and Maxwell‘s mother, Petunia Lawrence. She was currently bawling her eyes out.

“I want him dead!”

“I must kill him!”

“I’ll have his whole family die along with my son!”

Petunia’s expressions were twisted as seeds of hatred sprouted within her heart. If Alex didn’t die, she knew she would never rest.

“Colton, you useless piece of sh*t! You watched as your son got killed, and his body was cut into pieces! You can’t even ask Benmore to hand the culprit over! What good are you? What good are you?!”

“Oh, my son! My pitiful son!”

Colton’s expression darkened, clenching his teeth. “Don’t worry. My son won’t die for nothing! I’ll never forgive that bastard! But we can’t be rash now. That woman Benmore is hoping that out of spite. I’ll do something extreme so she can kill me off with an appropriate excuse!”

Michael asked, “Dad, do you think Benmore was the one who ordered her disciple to kill Third Brother off?”

Colton replied, “What do you think? Of course, she did!”

“F*ck, what a b*tch! How dare she?!”

After a short pause, Michael said, “Didn’t someone say that the bastard is going to Flying Eagles Academy? Fine then, I’ll have him dead the moment he enrolls! People who die in the academy won’t have anything to do with us anyway!”

With a cunning look, Michael took his phone out and dialed a number.

Alex, Phoebe, and Holly were currently in a helicopter that had departed Michigan. Their destination was Flying Eagles Academy.

Alex had no idea how Yuno convinced Phoebe’s parents, but they somehow agreed to let her go. They even told Alex to take good care of her. No matter how one looked at it, Grace was obviously treating Alex as her son-in-law already.

Alex, however, was still unsure if the parents knew that he had done the deed with Phoebe. Then again, a smart woman like Grace should figure out something just by observing Phoebe’s demeanor.

Wayne, on the other hand, didn’t say much about it, only expressing a slight shock when he heard that they were going to Flying Eagles Academy. After that, he remained silent, as if he knew what the academy.

In reality, Alex had no idea that officials like Wayne had had a secret meeting to prepare for an attack.

Since the Stone Age realm could only be maintained for six months, America’s higher-ups knew that they had to make some preparations beforehand. Citizens were oblivious to the fact that the government was quickly building more shelters as time passed.

With this, even if the situation were to go out of control, they could still ensure the safety of most of their citizens.

Hence, Wayne was more so surprised that his daughter was qualified to be involved in such matters.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1700

Nora Stewart was the person piloting the helicopter. This annoyed Alex slightly since he disliked this woman till now. She had always been trying to make small talk with them.

“Hey Al, Flying Eagles Academy is like, super big. So prepare yourselves mentally. Have you guys thought about what subject you’d be majoring in? Would you like me to give you a general description of all of them?”

“No thanks, I‘ll ask around when the time comes.”

“It’ll be too late when you ask around. People in the academy are like real busy. So why would they have the time and energy to answer all your questions?”

Alex closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, angering Nora.

She clenched her teeth. “Hey, brat! How long are you going to be this rude to me? It’s not like it was a big deal or anything. How are you so petty?”

Alex opened his eyes. “In my book, I won’t give those who’ve betrayed me once a second chance.”

“Did I really betray you, though?”

“Yep!”

Nora was speechless.

Holly didn’t understand and asked, “So you used to be my brother’s woman… But ended up cheating?”

“I’m not blind,” replied Alex.

The statement enraged Nora so much that the helicopter started swaying. “What do you mean by that?! Are you saying I’m ugly??”

“You said it yourself.”

“What the f..!”

Since they could no longer have a proper conversation, Nora piloted this helicopter as if it were a jet. She wished she could just kill off all her passengers with a crash.

Finally, the helicopter reached the entrance of the Flying Eagles Academy.

Nora was too lazy to land, snapping, “Just get down yourselves. And don’t say I didn’t remind you, punk. The Left-wing troops will be having a funeral for Maxwell Lawrence these few days, so they’re still very unstable at the moment. Many want you dead right now, and there are definitely some students here that are close with the Lawrences. So, be careful.”

Alex nodded. “Thanks!”

“Ah… You’re finally speaking normally. ”

“Put yourself in my shoes,” said Alex. “Would you be happy if someone tricked you like that? You have to do better if you want me to cure your illness, or you could make a trade using things like formation blueprints.”

After saying that, Alex grabbed both Phoebe and Holly and leaped off the helicopter.

***

Flying Eagles Academy was situated on the coast of Oregon, a natural island. This island, however, wasn’t charted on any maps, and no satellite could find this place either…

When Nora was piloting the helicopter, she was required to pass through a cloud of fog. That fog was the entrance to this realm, the entire island was contained within here.

After landing, they noticed that the entrance to the academy was merely two kilometers away. The gates were a few of kilometers tall, reaching into the sky. They looked extremely extravagant.

Within the school grounds, a few students were grouped together.

“Why hasn’t that Alex Rockefeller guy come?!”

“We’ve been waiting for almost a day now! Could he have found out that we’re here to fight him? Is that why he chickened out?”

“Hmph! He killed Maxwell! Where else can he hide apart from this academy? Unless he has a death wish, of course! Commander Benmore’s disciple, huh? I’d like to see what he can do.”

Powerful men and women were within this group, causing the younger students to be so scared that they avoided them at all costs.

Some even pointed and gossiped from afar…

“Why are the members of Black Tiger Corps waiting at the gate? Is someone having an unlucky day?”

“I heard some newbies are coming today. Could they be here to get them?”

“What? Those newbies caught the eyes of Black Tiger Corps? Who even are they?
