Ch. 1871..1880
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1871
Ted’s face was pale as profuse sweat streamed down his body. When Alex dragged him back, the distressed Ted said, “This brute is too cunning. She could even spit knives from her mouth and yet she was putting up a pretense all this while! I was too careless, I almost… I almost died!”
Alex immediately pointed him on the shoulder twice to stop his bleeding by pouring in the lightning-attributed Chi.
Ted cried, “I thought I’d be able to reach Intermediate-Mystic rank soon, but I didn’t expect that my band would be severed now. I can give up on this completely, it’s hopeless.”
Alex looked at him.
He felt as if Intermediate-Mystic rank was something from a long time ago. However, in reality, he was at Intermediate-Mystic rank just half a year ago. He only reached the current state because his cultivation improved too quickly coupled with all kinds of chance encounters and resource plundering. It was a process that could not be replicated.
On the other hand, Dorothy was not part of it.
She was an even more omnipotent existence that was categorized as an abnormal human being.
“Brother Ted, don’t be afraid. I’m here, right? I can still reconnect your arm,” comforted Alex.
“Even if it’s reconnected, it’s still broken once. It won’t be a big issue if it’s just a broken bone, but now all my blood vessels and meridians are broken. Even if you manage to put it back, it wouldn’t be the same anymore, right?”
He was downhearted and incomparably depressed.
Alex said, “Don’t you worry. If someone else were to reconnect it, there may be problems. But if I’m the one to reconnect it, there will be no problem for sure. I guarantee that it will be as good as before without any side effects.”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s real. If I can’t do it, I’ll chop off my hand for you.”
Alex said it loud and clear. As Ted gazed upon Alex, the hope in his eyes gradually rose again. He said, “Brother Rockefeller, I’ll leave it to you then. Please put back my hand well!”
“Don’t worry!”
Right after Alex said that, Ted was stunned.
Just after Ted said those words, a golden light that suddenly flew out of his glabella went into his body and acupoint in his cardiac region before entering his golden core.
Alex was so shocked that he dared not move.
He felt a perilous situation. ‘What the hell is that thing?’
Alex immediately used his internal vision to check his golden core. If it was some unknown substance, he had to get rid of it. However, on a closer look, only then did he realize that the thing that looked like a golden strand was quietly resting inside his golden core.
This golden strand was slightly strange. A faint golden light fluctuated and there was even a faint holy wish power on it. He was surprised. ‘Where did this thing come from? It seems Ted doesn’t cultivate Buddhism. Why is there something like that in his body?’
Alex’s mind was immersed in the intention to find it out, so he took a closer look at the golden strand. When his divine consciousness touched it, he found some clues but he was shocked too.
‘This… It’s Ted’s wish!’
‘How did Ted’s wish become a golden strand and enter into my golden core?’
‘This is ridiculous.’
When Alex was immensely speechless, a whim struck him. ‘No, this isn’t a wish. It’s Ted’s wish power. It is the wish power that Ted is releasing to me. He wished that I’d recover his arm and reconnect it perfectly. The golden strand is his wish power.’
After clearing things up, Alex deactivated his divine consciousness from his golden core.
Ted was currently anxiously looking at Alex and called him several times.
“Oh!” Alex who came back to his senses said, “I’ll put it back for you immediately.”
With his current medical skills, it was a trivial matter to reconnect Ted’s arm. After the arm and the broken arm were docked, his fingers gathered the spiritual energy from his golden core and drew a circle on it. The divine power helped his bones heal and his meridians automatically connected, together with a Zharvakko talisman.
Five minutes later, Ted’s arm was perfectly put together again. On a closer look, other than a circle of red markings on the severed part, nothing else could be seen.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1872
Ted was shocked. He raised his arm and looked at it from all angles to make sure that his arm had been reconnected. Not only that, the power of the golden core that Alex channeled into Ted’s body also worked wonders.
At first, Ted was at Beginner-Mystic rank and was preparing to reach the Intermediate-Mystic rank. All was good in the end.
That stream of golden core’s power instantly went rampage in his meridians and traveled toward some of his blocked acupoints and meridians.
Pop!
A gentle sound rang out.
Ted could clearly feel the collision of Alex’s energy had burst through the acupoint barriers that he could not break through before this. Like a hot knife through butter, it went all the way with a series of ‘pop’ sounds. Within a short while, it broke through all the acupoints on his meridians.
He shockingly realized that he had broken through from the Beginner-Mystic rank to the Intermediate-Mystic rank. Then, without any stop all the way, he broke through to the Advanced-Mystic rank again. Only then did the energy slowly disappear, and vanished.
Ted was completely shocked. He looked at Alex. “I… I’ve made a breakthrough?”
Alex smiled. “Congratulations!”
Ted screamed. He simply could not believe this truth. To his surprise, his cultivation could break through so easily that he could have never dreamt of it. He gazed at Alex deeply, and then, he heavily kneeled before Alex. The startled Alex immediately reached out to help him get up.
However, the moment when Ted kneeled down willingly, Alex suddenly noticed another change in his golden core. That golden strand’s wish power unexpectedly dissolved in his golden core and became a golden water droplet. The water droplet had a golden color as well but its size was obviously much larger than the strand earlier.
The moment the golden water droplet appeared, Alex could feel it.
‘This is… Divine power!’
‘Gosh! So, Ksitigarbha’s divine power is generated like this. There’s no way that this could be cultivated!’
However, the three magical treasures or the combat skills that Ksitigarbha had given him were still quite dependent on divine power. So, it seemed that it was an extravagant hope for him to use those three magic treasures in a short period of time.
At this moment, he finally figured it out. The most powerful thing about Ksitigarbha was the divine power. The reason why Ksitigarbha had divine power was because he made a great vow that he would not attain Buddhahood until he had saved all the sentient beings. At the same time, his divine power also needed the transformation of others’ wish power. It was equivalent to a power of faith. So, when others made a wish toward him, they could achieve the wish power.
However, he could only transform the wish power into the divine power after granting their wishes.
Certainly, there must be other reasons behind this. As for now, Alex was not sure as well.
Meanwhile, Neela was done with her interrogation. She was much faster than Ted because she was the royalty of the Benares Dragons. The lofty dragon tribe was an existence that many other races had to look up to. When the dragon tribe members stood in front of other races, it would naturally form an oppression of a biological chain.
The female wolf dropped to her knees instantly when she faced Neela.
Afterwards, Alex received some news. These demons belonged to a mysterious organization located in Long Beach and she could bring them there.
Alex nodded and said to Anna, “You people stay here. I’ll come back soon.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1873
“Hold on, what do we do with these people? Will they make a spell or something?”
Anna pulled Alex’s hand. She actually wanted to follow along, but she knew she was not strong enough and she would just be Alex’s burden if she went with him. His current level was so much higher than hers that it could not be compared at all. Meanwhile, she was afraid that these wolf demons would suddenly rise up and attack them. When the time came, nobody would be able to stop them.
Alex looked at the several wolf demons. Each of these guys had a hideous look and roared in a low voice. Even until this point, they were not going to kneel down and beg for their lives.
They were very different from the fox demons, Wisteria Haines and his sister whom Alex met back then. In fact, these few demons had been brainwashed by the demonic power of the Blood Cult and have permanently become the Blood Cult’s slaves. It would be an impossible task to re-indoctrinate them.
Alex made an immediate decision. “Sparing them will only cause more trouble. Kill them!”
Ted was the quickest. He raised his knife and slashed the neck of one of the wolf demons.
Blood splashed everywhere! It died very soon.
At that moment, Alex suddenly realized that another golden strand flew out from the slain wolf demon and shot into his body like lightning, entering his golden core. Moreover, it transformed into divine power without any stopping.
‘Huh? Why is this so?’ Alex could not understand.
If the wish that Ted had made toward Alex earlier was a wish power just like in Ksitigarbha’s teachings that transformed the wish power into a golden strand before transforming it into divine power, the current wolf demon did not provide any wish power for Alex.
‘Why would it transform into divine power as well?’
During his daze, Ted killed another person. At once, another golden strand entered his body and turned into divine power. However, these two drops of divine power were much smaller than the divine power transformed from Ted’s wish power.
If he were to compare the divine power that he had just received to a value of one, then what Ted had provided him before would be a value of ten.
‘Could it be that as long as Ted kills one person, I can get one point of divine power? That’s ridiculous! That’s definitely not the case…’
However, when Ksitigarbha gave him the legacy, he just did not explain the cultivation method of the divine power. That was a bummer.
At this time, other than the little wolf girl, the other two wolf demons were slain by Ted and had transformed into their wolf demon bodies. A faint blood mist emanated from their bodies.
When Alex saw it, he immediately yelled, “Back off!” He pulled Ted away.
“Master, what is this?” asked Anna as she stared at the cloud of blood mist curiously.
“Could it be that this is the substance that poisoned people?”
Alex gazed intensely. He felt something different in the blood mist.
Neela took a sniff and said, “My lord, this is the Netherworld Blood Poison of the Shura tribe.”
“Netherworld Blood Poison? What is that thing?”
“It is the evil means used by the Shura to assimilate the foreign races. Those who are poisoned by the Netherworld Blood Poison will be manipulated by the poisoner. They’ll slowly lose their instincts and finally change into the lowest class of the Shura tribe, the Bone Eaters!”
At this time, Alex reached out his hand to touch the blood mist.
Neela exclaimed, “Don’t touch it! It’s dangerous!”
However, it was too late.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1874
Alex’s finger had touched the cloud of blood mist, Moreover, the Netherworld Blood Poison had entered Alex’s body right away.
Neela was frightened to the core. She pulled Alex and inspected him carefully. “My lord, how can you touch those kinds of things? Something serious might happen! It is very dominant, and infectious even when it is touched by ordinary people. How are you? How can this be good?”
Alex closed his eyes and stopped moving. His internal vision saw that after this Netherworld Blood Poison had rushed into his body, the very pitiful and scarce divine power inside his golden core fiercely turned into a golden light that sprang out instantly to wrap around the Netherworld Blood Poison before dragging it into the golden core. Then, it was swallowed!
Moments later, Alex noticed that the divine power had increased. If he added up the previous points to twelve points, it was now fourteen points.
A mass of Netherworld Blood Poison could be transformed into two points of divine power.
‘Not bad!’
Just when Neela, Anna and the others were worried about Alex, he suddenly opened his arm and grabbed another mass of Netherworld Blood Poison to be absorbed by his golden core. It was consumed and refined into divine power.
Everyone was dumbfounded watching him.
What the hell was this? Why did it seem like he enjoyed taking it in?
Could it be that he had been deeply poisoned, such that someone was controlling his mind?
“Master, are you still my master?” asked Anna softly.
Alex lifted up his hand and flicked Anna on her fair forehead. “Of course I am. Do you think that I’m being manipulated? Don’t worry. Just a bit of Netherworld Blood Poison wouldn’t harm me! I do wish that there is more of this blood poison though.”
Neela was shocked. “My lord, aren’t you afraid of the Netherworld Blood Poison? How did you do it?”
Alex said, “The amount of this Netherworld Blood Poison is too small to play a big role, but it can be used to help me in cultivation. So, don’t worry, we will immediately go to their concentrated stronghold. I think there should be a lot of Netherworld Blood Poison, right?”
Neela had her mouth agape.
‘What did he mean? My lord wants to get more Netherworld Blood Poison? Sure enough, it’s the fate of the Benares Dragons. Others would be too late to dodge it. Not only is he immune, but he even rushes for it.’
The wolf girl shouted, “You b*stards! You’ve killed my people, yet you still want me to show you the way? You people must be dreaming! If you are that capable, just kill me! Kill me now!”
Alex said, “You have other tribe members, right? You’re deeply affected by the poison and it’s impossible to restore you back to normal. If I hadn’t suppressed the toxicity of the Netherworld Blood Poison with my Zharvakko talisman, you would have lost your mind by now and done whatever you were told to do! You don’t want your people to be like you, do you? Not only will they become someone else’s puppet, but they will eventually become the lowest and most inferior existence of the Shura tribe as well. In fact, we share the same interest. If you take us there, we will destroy those who poisoned you, and then you can save the rest of your tribe, right?”
The wolf girl stopped shouting. She seemed to have thought a lot about the past. Ten seconds later, she nodded. “Fine. I’ll bring you guys there!”
***
Half an hour later, the wolf girl, Alex and Neela arrived at a village in Long Beach. This place was very remote, and there were not many families in total.
Right when they stepped into the village, Neela’s beautiful nose twitched. She frowned and said, “There’s a strong resentful Chi in this village.”
Alex frowned as well.
When they passed by a house, Alex suddenly turned in and pushed open the door. After taking a look, his expression abruptly changed as he was furious.
Inside were piles of bodies. There were old people, women, and children. Blood was all over the ground and the state of the corpses were tragic. There were dozens of them in total. That place was simply a living hell.
“Who did this? Is it you people?” Alex grabbed the wolf girl and stared at her fiercely.
Just then, a bunch of people charged in with a swoosh and surrounded them.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1875
“This…”
Looking at the incoming people, Alex’s mood instantly got even worse. The number of incoming people was no less than fifty
and half of them looked like the wolf girl. There was a variety of demon tribe members with low cultivation and even their shape-shifted state was not very stable.
Especially a few of them were simply half-human and half-demon with bizarre looks and tails trailing behind. Even the clothes that they were wearing were incongruous.
However, half of them were humans. These people were just like the twins at the wet market. They were born with a special bloodline but they had lost their nature after being infected by the Blood Cult’s poison. Not only that, their bodies had begun to
mutate, their hair was all dried up and had fallen off.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were covered with strange magical tattoos.
“My lord, this village has fallen!” said Neela as she sighed. “These people and demons have been assimilated by the people of Shura. Even if it is not yet complete, it is irreversible.”
Alex’s eyes suddenly showed sorrow as he said, “Neela, do you think that the other side of the ancient force field is full of such demon races? If so, it means that the Shura tribe has controlled the inside of the ancient force field ages ago, and the Abyss…”
At this moment, he recalled that when he was at Kala temple, he once stood before Ksitigarbha’s statue and saw the hard battle that had happened before. The Undying Clan and the Shura tribe were the two cooperating parties.
They united against humans. And, the Blood Cult was part of it as well…
As such, some information became clear in Alex’s mind. Could it be that the Blood Cult was the internal force that the Shura Tribe had used to infiltrate the human race?
Their end goal was to destroy the ancient force field and infiltrate the human world.
‘Sh*t!’
As Alex thought about this, his inner anxiety became more and more intense.
At this moment, a cold voice rang out in the crowd’s ears. “Number thirty-six, what are you doing? You’ve brought in two people without ancient bloodlines. Do you have a death wish?”
In the course of speaking, a woman walked in.
When Alex got a clear look of the woman’s face, his body wildly trembled. With an expression full of incredulity, he blurted out, “Why is it you?!”
It turned out that this woman was Alex’s former second aunt, Mariah Hamilton, Carol Rockefeller’s mother.
This was too unbelievable. Carol’s mother was an ordinary human, but now, she was covered in a dense Shura demonic Chi. Every step she took, he could feel her strong body. Alex even had the illusion of facing Spencer already.
“Alex Rockefeller!”
Mariah recognized Alex as well. In an instant, she laughed hysterically. “How unexpected! It turns out that you b*stard, Alex Rockefeller, have barged into here. What does this mean? It means you could’ve lived a decent life, yet you’ve chosen to bring demise upon yourself.”
Neela curiously asked, “My lord, you know each other?”
Alex nodded. “She’s my former second aunt.”
“Oh! So she’s your relative?”
“Not anymore later. The relationship is quite complex. I’ll explain it to you when I have time.”
“Oh, that must be an interesting story!” said Neela. “But now, I think we’re in trouble.”
“Indeed!”
Mariah looked at Alex, “Alex Rockefeller, you garbage. Months ago, you snatched away our Rockefeller Group and Rockefeller Manor and killed my daughter, Natalie. At that time, you didn’t think that you would fall into my hands, did you? Speaking of which, I wanted to kill you a long time ago. I’ll not only kill you, but I’ll kill your b*tchy mother, and your wife, Dorothy Assex… Hmph! I’ll turn Dorothy Assex into a zombie and make her sleep with countless men. What do you think about that?”
Alex shook his head, “I’m sorry but you won’t be able to do that because I’m going to kill you!”
“Hahaha!” Mariah laughed hysterically again. “Alex Rockefeller, you’re just someone with limited outlook and experience who knows nothing. Do you think that you can run wild just because you know a bit about martial arts? Let me tell you something, martial arts are nothing in our eyes now. We are the kind of existence that surpasses martial arts, the existence that can go after eternity and… The kind of existence that you people will always look up to.”
After saying those words, she suddenly let out a loud roar.
The cry was like an old baron in the middle of the night, yet it contained a strong Shura tribe’s aura.
The next moment, all the fifty or so guys surrounding Alex and Neela had their eyes turned red. Meanwhile, the Netherworld Blood Poison in the wolf girl’s body, which had been suppressed by Alex previously with the Zharvakko Talisman, also broke out, dispersing the Zharvakko Talisman before she fell into a state of confusion once again.
Mariah waved her hand. “Catch the unscrupulous couple and bring them to my residence. Don’t kill them at once, I want to torture them for good!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1876
After giving the orders, Mariah Hamilton let out a sneer and retreated again, as though there was something else she needed to do.
Soon, the assimilated demon tribe members and special bloodline holders started to attack Alex.
Whoosh!
“Looks like I can only use my ultimate killing move!”
“If I don’t take the risk, who will? Amitabha!”
Alex instantly started to move, resembling a roaming dragon. With the Sword of the Universe in his right hand, he activated the seal of Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation in his left hand.
The wolf girl, who was closest to Alex, pounced fiercely towards him.
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Seal of Noble Light!”
Boom!
As the Sword of the Universe slashed down again, the wolf girl’s head flew through the air in response to the sound.
“One!”
Alex devoured the Netherworld Blood Poison emanating from the wolf girl’s corpse and loudly said, “Wolf girl, you can go with a peace of mind. If I meet others from your tribe in the future, I will give them lenient treatment for your sake.”
Neela turned into a green light with a swoosh and rushed into Alex’s body, turning into the Benares Dragon Battle Armor.
Poof!
Alex extended the Sword of the Universe into ten meters long, slicing off a demon tribe member’s waist with a boom.
“Two!”
However, these demon tribe members, who had been assimilated by the Netherworld Blood Poison, gained some of the Shura tribe’s traits, bloodthirsty, bellicose, dauntless and unmindful of pain. It was a great headache for more than fifty of them rushing up to him.
“Three Realms Decree, heed my words, little demon, transform!”
With no other alternatives, Alex threw out a handful of paper dolls to distract the enemies’ combat force. Then, he called Maiko Chiba out to help.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Alex’s golden core spun wildly, churning out more and more divine power. It turned out that there were different quantities of Netherworld Blood Poison in these people. Moreover, killing any of them would also allow him to gain divine power.
However, he inevitably got injured over time.
“My lord, these guys are very powerful. Your second aunt has yet to make her move, and if this continues on, we may be destroyed!” Neela shouted.
Alex’s recovery ability was strong, but she didn’t have that same power. She even coughed up blood after being attacked several times in her battle armor form.
Alex also wanted to cough up blood. He was depressed.
Mariah was a woman who used to be so weak that he could kill her with a slap, but now she actually posed such a big threat to him. He didn’t need to guess that she must have been influenced by Carol Rockefeller to go through such a drastic change.
What about Carol?
How far had she reached now?
If she specifically went to deal with Brittany and the others… It would be simply unimaginable.
Boom!
Alex cut through a house with his sword and rushed out from inside, followed by about forty poison assimilated crazy guys.
There was no other way. Since he couldn’t beat them, he had to escape!
Just then, a woman’s voice rang out. “Mom, it’s Alex! He’s in danger!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1877
After giving the orders, Mariah Hamilton let out a sneer and retreated again, as though there was something else she needed to do.
Soon, the assimilated demon tribe members and special bloodline holders started to attack Alex.
Whoosh!
“Looks like I can only use my ultimate killing move!”
“If I don’t take the risk, who will? Amitabha!”
Alex instantly started to move, resembling a roaming dragon. With the Sword of the Universe in his right hand, he activated the seal of Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation in his left hand.

Boom!
Alex cut through a house with his sword and rushed out from inside, followed by about forty poison assimilated crazy guys.
There was no other way. Since he couldn’t beat them, he had to escape!
Just then, a woman’s voice rang out. “Mom, it’s Alex! He’s in danger!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1878
To Alex’s surprise, Freya said, “That’s not possible, my mom can’t move right now.”
Alex shot her a glare. “Why can’t she move? I’m not asking her to move, I’m asking you to bring her.”
“That’s not possible either.”
“Uh..?”
Seeing that Alex didn’t understand, Freya explained, “My mom is using a mystic art from our Exorcist Dragons, and she’s replenishing blood through sitting on the ground. She can only sit here now, and can’t move to go anywhere.”
When Alex heard this, he was stunned.
“There’s such a mystic art? She can’t get up once she has sat down? Will her butt get glued to the ground?”
Freya’s face reddened slightly. “My mom’s aura right now is connected to the dragon Chi on the ground, and it can’t be broken midway. This is the drawback of the mystic art, but it’s still alright. She will restore all her power in just half an hour.”
“But…”
However, it was too late to say anything. Mariah Hamilton had come once again!
When she saw the messy corpses on the grounds, she flew into a rage. Glaring at Alex, Freya and her mother with her devilish, bloodied eyes, her face twisted in a fierce expression. “You guys actually killed all of my subordinates? Who did it?! Was it you two b*tches?!”
In Mariah’s eyes, Alex at most had little skills. How could he have measured up to her subordinates? So, the only possibility was the two women who had popped up out of nowhere.
As Mariah let out a roar, a demonic god’s phantom instantly appeared behind her. Yet, she didn’t make any moves right away.
Instead, she glared at Alex and said, “Alex Rockefeller, are you surprised? How did a woman like I, Mariah Hamilton, have such a drastic change? Because, this is destiny! Alex Rockefeller, you were born as a depraved person, you’re not worthy of the name Rockefeller. You’re only an abandoned child! I will now let you understand what the differences between us are!”
Alex shot a glance at Martiny anxiously as he wanted to curse up a storm right now.
This woman’s recklessness was simply beyond words. If she had known that she needed to sit on the floor to recover her blood and would be unable to move, then she shouldn’t have brought out an ultimate move at the beginning. Great, now she had become a burden instead.
Alex could only stall as much time as possible. So, he searched desperately for topics in his mind and said, “Mariah Hamilton, do you know about your daughter, Carol Rockefeller?”
“She’s fine,” Mariah said.
“Oh, really? Then, did you know that she has given birth to your grandson?”
When Mariah heard this, she became furious. It was because that ghastly demonic thing had killed her younger daughter. That thing was not her grandson, she just wanted to kill that evil creature.
“Are you trying to buy time, Alex Rockefeller? I heard everything you people just said.”
“ I’m going to grind you to ashes in less than half an hour!”
“Die!”
Mariah raised her arm, lashing out at Martiny. The demonic god’s phantom behind her also made the same action.
The shocked Alex immediately tried to stop her.
In the end, Freya grabbed onto Alex and said, “Don’t bother my mom.”
“Huh?!” Alex was stunned as he looked at Freya. “That’s your mother, don’t you care about her?”
“My mom will be fine,” Freya said.
Alex’s action was rather slow because Freya held him back. It was now too late to stop Mariah, so he could only watch as Mariah slammed her palm on Martiny’s head.
Alex’s heart thumped wildly in his chest, and he didn’t dare to look.
As a result…
Boom!
A loud noise rang out. The sound shook the sky, and even the surrounding ground collapsed.
Hearing only a scream, Mariah was sent flying.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1879
“Oh my gosh! What’s going on?!”
Alex was dumbfounded as he watched Martiny sit on the floor, absorbing the dirt… Oh, wait no, she was sitting on the ground motionlessly to replenish her blood, allowing Mariah to hit her on the head with her palm. The twist of the result was a little unbelievable, such that the people watching were unable to react to it.
She was freaking fine. It turned out that Mariah was the one who had flown out.
Not only that, Mariah coughed up mouthfuls of blood after falling to the ground, obviously heavily injured.
She was wide-eyed with astonishment as well. “Who are you? What kind of wicked technique was that?!”
Martiny said nothing. She closed her eyes, still motionless, as though she hadn’t heard anything.
After just a single blow, no matter how stupid Mariah was, she knew that the woman in front of her was strange, so she did not launch another attack again.
On the other hand, Neela inside Alex’s body said in surprise, “My lord, the woman sitting on the ground is weird. I can feel the same kind of aura I have from her.”
Alex spoke through the mental voice transmission, ‘She’s a descendant of the Exorcist Dragons. Though I don’t really know what the Exorcist Dragons are, they should be considered some kind of dragon tribe, right?’
Neela said, “No, that’s not it. I can feel the Ancestor Dragon’s aura from her, but that’s too strange. According to the ancient records in our Benares Dragon tribe, the Ancestor Dragon has long since disappeared from all six realms. Some said that because the Ancestor Dragon was too incredible to survive in any of the six realms, and was killed by the Path of God. It finally died in Brightta Mountain and caused the entire place to become a dragon tomb! My ancestors once went to look for the dragon tomb, but even after searching for a long time, they couldn’t find it. Is it possible that this woman is the reincarnation of the Ancestor Dragon?”
That would be too amazing.
The Ancestor Dragon!
The ancestor of all the dragon tribes. Just how powerful would the Ancestor Dragon be?
Let alone Martiny was the reincarnation of the Ancestor Dragon, even if she had just a little connection to it, she would be an awesome existence.
At this moment, Mariah let out a fierce shout, and the demonic god’s phantom behind her opened its mouth to make a vigorous suction.
The demon tribe members’ corpses that had been assirnilated halfway by the Shura tribe and the human corpses exploded one after another. Streams of blood energy went into the mouth of the demonic god’s phantom. At the same time, Mariah’s body began to mutate as well.
Her aura continued rising with a surge of bursting demonic Chi.
Freya, who was tugging Alex’s arm, was almost unable to breath from the pressure that leaked out from Mariah’s body. She asked in surprise, “Alex, what the hell is she?!”
Alex said, “A monster that has assimilated with the Shura tribe. She seems to be healing herself. We can’t let her continue this, we need to stop her. Otherwise, we will be in danger.”
Alex raised his hand to perform the strongest holy technique he had.
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Seal of Noble Light!”
“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Mahayana Righteous Seal!”
Boom, boom!
When Alex’s Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation hit Mariah’s body, only then did she react violently. Alex wasn’t an ordinary warrior after all, but a cultivator. More importantly, what he had cultivated was the holy techniques that could restrain her.
Unguarded, Mariah was bombarded twice. As a result, the demonic god’s phantom also almost dispersed from the assault.
She shot Alex a vicious look. “Alex Rockefeller, I can’t believe that I underestimated you. You’ve cultivated holy techniques, so you can’t be left alone anymore. I will kill you first!”
Mariah was filled with bloodlust. At this moment, her appearance was not much different than those assimilated humans.
“Die!”
Swoosh!
Alex’s lightning-infused body moved quickly, dodging the attacks.
At this moment, Martiny finally spoke, “Alex, take Freya and go, leave me! Give me twenty minutes, and I will deal with this demi-demon!”
“Isn’t it too late to leave now?”
“Come out, Grovel Demon!”
Mariah stomped her foot sharply.
The next moment, the surrounding ground suddenly cracked with rumbling sounds. Strange, ugly monsters emerged from the ground underneath one by one. Looking at them made one feel particularly disgusting, and they also gave off a foul smell.

Freya was also stunned as she had never seen something like that before. Martiny was also in a similar state.
Neela shouted, “Mylord, these are Grovel Demons from the Shura realm, but these… No, that’s not right. These are not the real Grovel Demons, but the results of assimilated human beings!”
“They have also transformed from humans?” Alex asked.
“That’s right! This is very cruel. The original humans’ minds and souls are still retained in the bodies of these half-finished products. They have been forcefully assimilated, and their bodies are being controlled by a virus-like substance from the Shura realm. Look at them, they’re even crying because of the physical pain they are in.”
Alex couldn’t stop the chill that crept up his spine after listening to her explanation.
There were more than a dozen half-finished Grovel Demons here. He could imagine the pain their original souls were in at this moment.
“D*mn you, Mariah Hamilton!”
“Where did you find all these people?!”
“You’re out of your mind, turning all these good people into this state. Do you intend to be a traitor to mankind?!”
Mariah roared with laughter. “Alex Rockefeller, it seems that you’re aware of a lot of things. You even know that Grovel Demons are beings that have transformed from humans! I might as well tell you, these are all Long Beach Science and Engineering students! What about it? Do you also want to become one of them? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Once you become a Grovel Demon, your lifespan will increase by countless amounts, it’d be equivalent to being an immortal. I’m giving them blessings by doing this!”
“Get him!”
Alex closed his eyes, then opened them. His eyes suddenly turned cold.
Roar!
The Grove Demons launched their attacks without restraint.
Alex grabbed Freya and said, “Stand behind me.”
Freya said, “Bro Alex, I can help you too. For example…”
She clasped her hands together to form a seal and incantated, “Dragon God Edict, Wind God Law, Nine Dragons Ghost Binding Curse, set!”
Freya slapped the seal in her hand forward, hitting a Grovel Demon that was rushing towards them with a stream of yellow light.
The guy that was rushing forward paused, before he really stopped moving.
Alex was stunned, then he immediately took the chance to move, tapping on the acupoints on the Grovel Demon’s body. Knowing that these were innocent humans that had been forced into this state, Alex was slightly reluctant to kill the demon.
Hence, he only used acupuncture techniques to limit the demon’s mobility.
Just then, the Grovel Demon abruptly burst into tears. His eyes were blood red, but there was a humane look in them. He opened his mouth with difficulty and said in an extremely rigid, hoarse voice, “Please, please… Kill me!”
Alex froze.
Another golden strand appeared in his golden core. This was the Grovel Demon’s wish power.
“What do we do?”
Alex was in a difficult position.
At this time, Freya had binded another demon. Alex did the same thing with its acupoints to limit its movement. This Grovel Demon was a female student, and she also expressed her wish power to Alex. “I’m in so much pain, please… Kill me. My name is Phia Carling, a third year student in Long Beach Science and Engineering… Ahhhh, kill me, kill me! It hurts! I don’t
want to live like this, it’s a living hell! ”
Alex’s eyes were red-rimmed. Looking at her distorted and ugly face, Alex only felt a flare of pity for her.
After that, he could feel even more golden wish powers. It was as though each and every Grovel Demon was begging him.
“Fine, I’ll fulfill your wishes!” Alex roared and pierced the Sword of the Universe through Phia’s heart with a stab.
Phia’s body twitched as she displayed an ugly smile on her lips. She looked at Alex and said, “Thank… you!”
After pulling out his sword, Alex’s eyes were blood-shot as he roared loudly, “Persephone’s Folly Bridge, get out here!”
