Ch. 1981..1990
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1981
It was too painful. She desperately thought about the woman’s appearance.
The Seal of Past and Present Life dealt significant damage to a medium. If Alex were to find the past aimlessly, he would not know for how long he had to search for it. However, she tried hard to think about that moment, as if there was a precise coordinate that could facilitate Alex to find that time node.
Whoosh!
Countless scenes appeared in Alex’s mind.
Those were the past that Eunice had experienced. Those scenes were even more vivid than the impression in Eunice’s mind. At this time, he seemed to be walking inside a time tunnel from the present to the past.
It did not take long. Alex soon found that node.
He saw Eunice pass by somewhere in a dark forest. He saw the woman leaning against a huge tree. The woman was covered in bloodstains. Her stomach was huge as if she was about to go into labor.
She rubbed her stomach with one hand, whereas the hand clutched onto a jade pendant.
In that instant, Alex felt as if something had slammed into his heart vigorously. It was because he saw her clearly, it was none other than Daya Stoermer.
She… Was actually pregnant.
Calculating the time, it almost happened at that time. However, what exactly had she experienced?
What kind of danger was in there?
As he trembled, he continued to search for the truth in the time tunnel of the past. Eventually, he saw a scene that made his eyes burst with anger.
He saw Eunice. Perhaps, she thought the jade pendant must be something good since Daya was still clutching onto it at such a time. In addition, a formation blueprint was certainly carved on the jade pendant, it was a magical treasure. She went forward right away to snatch it from Daya. To her surprise, Daya did not die, and she made a knife slash on Eunice’s face.
That was how she got the wound on her face. Then, both parties fought.
It did not take long to attract a group of demonic beasts in the forest.
As a result, Eunice caught Daya off guard. Eunice Murphy threw a bottle containing unknown materials on Daya’s body. Then, the demonic beasts attacked Daya savagely right there and then while paying no attention to Eunice, as if they could not see her.
On the other hand, Eunice turned around and ran away from Daya.
The scene that Alex saw followed into the distance as well. He only saw that Daya was fighting in desperation while trying to protect her stomach with determination. Once the demonic beasts tried to attack her stomach, she could only retaliate hard with her back. The final scene froze on a ten meter tall behemoth pouncing viciously on Daya.
Roar!
After watching the past, Alex let out an explosive roar and slammed Eunice to the ground. Immediately afterward, he pounced on her and strangled her as he said furiously, “How dare you treat my wife and child like this?! You deserve to die!”
Everyone else was shocked. They did not know what happened.
At this moment, the ground surrounding Eunice collapsed into a ring-shaped deep crater.
Fortunately, Alex still had not completely lost his sanity nor killed her right away.
“Take me to her!”
“Now!”
Eunice looked at him in shock as she did not expect that he was not only that woman’s spouse, but he even had such a miraculous trick to acquire the information directly from her. She shook her head. “It’s too late! When I saw her, it was two days ago. If you go to find her now, she must be dead by now.”
“I want to see her if she’s alive, and I want her corpse if she’s dead!”
Unexpectedly, Eunice pointed at Holden and proposed a condition to Alex. “Yes, I can take you to her, but I have a condition you have to kill all of the Coleman family! Otherwise, I can guarantee you won’t be able to find your wife and child in this life.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1982
Upon hearing the statement, the rest of the Coleman family tensed up. Everyone looked at Alex in fear.
They were terrified that he would agree to Eunice’s request. After all, it seemed that Alex’s wife and child were the ones in danger now.
Ted also looked at Alex anxiously as he said, “Elder Rockefeller, you… Mustn’t listen to her. The Coleman family is Anna’s family!”
Alex said to Eunice, “In fact, I’ve just walked through the path that you’ve walked earlier. I wanted to keep you just because I was a bit curious about your background. Now, I’ve changed my mind.”
As soon as he said that, he swung out a fierce punch. In Eunice’s incomparably terrified eyes, Alex’s punch landed on her chest. In an instant, a huge transparent hole appeared on her chest.
The heart inside was crushed. She was dead!
However, Alex did not stop there. Instead, he pulled her soul out… After all, he mainly followed the time nodes to find the past earlier. If he could not find it, he could continue casting the Seal of Past and Present Life using her soul. He closed his eyes and reminisced about the route that he had just taken in the past time-space.
He confirmed something, the place where Daya was located was undoubtedly a secret realm. In other words, the Stoermers’ trial was located in a secret realm.
In fact, Alex had some suspicions before this because the protective jade pendant that he had given to Daya contained his blood essence inside it. If she had not been particularly far away, he would have sensed it, but the truth was that he had completely lost contact with Daya after she started the trial.
He never expected that she would secretly go to such a place to give birth to a child…
What was she thinking?
The other thing was that the secret realm’s entrance was now located inside a mansion owned by the Stoermers in Imperial Capital.
“I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll leave first!”
After saying that, Alex rushed off into the sky right away. He wanted to head to the secret realm swiftly to look for Daya.
However, not long after he rushed out, a thought suddenly appeared in Alex’s mind, it was the divine thought mapping from his master, Jade Benmore.
The shared link of lifespan between the two people still existed. This created some sort of bond between Jade and him.
Jade’s cultivation base was profound. Now that she had recovered her cultivation base after lifting the poison status, she could do various things. For instance, now she could send a thought directly to Alex’s sea of consciousness…
‘Hurry and come to Rockefeller Manor. Beware of strong enemies!’
She did not say the exact matter, but judging from her tone, he could tell that she was very anxious.
‘Beware of strong enemies?’
‘What did she mean?’
Alex did not understand the reason. However, when he thought about the final scene that the ferocious beast pounced on Daya, he was distressed, so he did not have time to think carefully about the intention in Jade’s words.
He thought that now Jade had peerless martial arts. Basically, no one could hurt her anymore. Furthermore, Rockefeller Manor was well-fortified with her supervision. He did not need to worry about it at all, so he continued to rush in Imperial Capital’s direction.
To his surprise, someone stopped him very soon. Twenty or so people came over, and each of them was an expert
‘Spirit Severing, Spirit Severing, Spirit Severing, Profound Mystic, Profound Mystic…”
He was instantly dumbfounded.
This line-up was unprecedentedly powerful. Three Spirit Severing cultivators and seven or eight Profound Mystic cultivators came over all of a sudden.
“Who are you people? What are you people trying to do?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1983
Alex questioned those people. He finally understood what Jade meant when she said to beware of strong enemies.
It turned out that those people were coming after him.
However, Alex did not know the raised hell outside. It was because over one hour ago, the American government had sent an official notice to Japan as well as those international communities that exerted pressure on America. It declared that the culprit behind the destruction of Mount Fuji and countless casualties at Mount Higurashi in Japan was called Alex Rockefeller.
They even disclosed all of Alex’s information. Identification card, family relationship, social background…
A tossed stone raised a thousand ripples. Once the news was announced, it caused an uproar.
In just a minute, the media all over the world scrambled to report and reprint it. Alex’s information immediately appeared on the trending search in various countries’ media. The platform that published his information crashed right away due to the web traffic overload from the overwhelming visitors.
The Americans were shocked. The entire world was stunned.
Especially some people who knew Alex, they were all dumbfounded. For instance, the university alumni group…
“Oh my gosh! It turns out that Alex Rockefeller is so awesome!”
“I even thought that he had been completely reduced to a nobody after Rockefeller Group was snatched away from him. He remained in obscurity since then until he silently disappeared in front of us one day. Oh great, he created such a huge uproar! It shocks the entire world!”
“Hehehe…”
A classmate who knew Alex’s current condition said, “Did you guys not keep up with the latest news? How dare you say Alex Rockefeller went into obscurity? Do you know about Lush Cosmetics? That’s a hundred billion dollar level property that Alex Rockefeller built. I heard it could make hundreds of billions of dollars per year. Now the entire Rockefeller Group has become Lush Cosmetics’ subsidiary company.”
“What? Really?”
“If you guys don’t believe me, you guys can go check it out! And, do you guys know who the greatest shareholder in Thousand Miles Conglomerate is? And it’s Alex Rockefeller!”
“…”
The group instantly went silent. As a result, that classmate disclosed another piece of significant news.
“Do you guys know the Divine Constabulary? It’s the secret department that overrides the normal law enforcement department, and the most powerful big shot there is Alex Rockefeller’s grandfather! Do you guys know the person who battled at Willow Lake a few months ago? It’s Alex Rockefeller!”
“Forget it. I won’t say it anymore. He has long been beyond the mundane world, and you guys still think he’s a nobody.”
This was just the university classmate group that Alex was in.
Besides, there were many more the elementary school group, the junior high school group and so on. Even the people abroad who had crossed paths with Alex, like Andrew and Miranda Finn, all shouted madly after seeing the news. They wished dearly that they could head to America immediately to meet the amazing American miracle doctor.
***
However, Alex was now facing an unprecedented crisis.
“You’re Alex Rockefeller, right?”
“You’re the one who destroyed Mount Fuji in Japan, right?”
Alex was now distressed as he wanted to save Daya. Never did he expect that so many people would show up to besiege him halfway. He immediately said, “I don’t care who you people are. I’m in a hurry to rescue someone, so I hope you people don’t block the way.”
“Rescue someone? You can’t even save yourself now. Do you know who we are?”
“Spit it out. I don’t have time to waste with you people.”
A middle-aged man leading the team sneered, “You already have the cultivation base of Peak-Core Formation at a young age. It’s no wonder you dare to be so arrogant! Too bad, being proud is one thing, but you’ve committed crimes! We’re members of the American Defense Bureau. You’ve destroyed Mount Fuji and slaughtered the innocents in Japan. Besides, you even colluded with Jade Benmore to kill the senior executives of the Flying Eagles ruthlessly. The crimes are unforgivable. We’ve received the order from the higher-ups to take you down and hand you over to the international community for trial.”
“The American Defense Bureau? I’ve never heard of it. Perhaps, are you guys Darnic Young’s lap dogs?”
“Nonsense, take him down!”
Twenty or so people immediately took out all sorts of magical treasures and worked together to launch an attack.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1984
“F*ck!”
“How shameless!”
To Alex’s surprise, the twenty or so people in which almost everyone’s cultivation base was stronger than him came forward for a mass brawl.
However, he did not know that he destroyed Mount Fuji in Japan because of the true terror. Who in the world could commit such an outrageous deed? He was probably a god-like existence, right?
Hence, the members of the American Defense Bureau went all out in their attacks.
However, they had not resorted to any deadly moves. First, now that Alex had caused a huge international public opinion, the American higher-ups had suffered tremendous pressure and had to explain.
Secondly, the higher-ups also wanted to meet him and ask about what had happened at Mount Fuji and the methods that he had used to do it. In the end, the higher-ups were afraid of him as well.
Finally, Darnic Young had added fuel to the fire because he wanted to avenge his son.
Buzz!
The space shook.
The area where Alex was in seemed to have been imprisoned. For a moment, he felt that he could not move at all, and an invisible force bound all his limbs firmly. On the other hand, a spiritual palm as large as a truck descended from the sky to grab him.
‘What should I do? It’s too powerful!’
Seeing that the palm was getting closer, Alex was anxious as he was about to be doomed. At this moment, the Chaos Tree gently shook, and a gush of energy, containing the power of rules, swirled around his glabella.
The next second, all the shackling force collapsed.
After breaking through the restraints and regaining his freedom, he immediately threw a fierce punch at the palm that was pressing down.
Alex broke the spiritual palm with a punch. He pierced the palm.
Immediately afterward, that palm disintegrated as if it were an avalanche. Alex seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly.
This scene shocked the members of the American Defense Bureau.
“What?!”
“He could destroy the dimensional prison that we joined forces to create? He’s really skilled!”
“Haha, Old Gus, don’t you fail miserably in such a simple task!”
“He’s going to escape! Go after him! Everyone, put more effort into it!”
Immediately afterward, the twenty or so experts chased after Alex frantically with a whoosh.
There were a few fast guys among the people as if they specialized in the pursuit of speed. Alex found them troublesome. His Sword of the Universe flew fast enough, but to his surprise, there were two presumably gifted people there who were not slower than him at all.
They even had some kind of long-range weapons in their hands. They were specially made guns.
The bullets were specially made as well. They came with some sort of paralyzing effect.
The shots caused immense pain when they hit his body. Furthermore, they even hindered his mobility. Fortunately, the Chi in his golden core was powerful so that he could remove the adverse effects quickly.
Poof! Poof!
Another two bullets hit his body.
Alex grimaced in pain as he roared, “I’m getting angry! Let me warn you guys. Once I’m angered, even I’ll be afraid of myself. You people better don’t force me. Get lost now!”
A man laughed as he said, “Alex Rockefeller, don’t retaliate. Retaliation is futile. It’ll only aggravate your pain. Can’t you tell that we haven’t used our deadly blow? If we wanted to kill you, you’d have been dead ages ago!”
Alex was furious. Just then, a divine thought descended again.
It was Jade’s divine thought.
‘Rockefeller Manor is under attack! Dorothy Assex is injured. Come back quickly!’
Buzz!
Alex’s eyes suddenly turned red.
He had his heart in his mouth because he still did not know whether the pregnant Daya was alive or dead. Now, Dorothy, who was pregnant with quadruplets, was injured as well. Seeing the twenty or so members of the American Defense Bureau continuously harassing him, the murderous intent on him was overwhelming.
“Well…”
“What a strong murderous intent. Be careful. This brat is going to fight for his life and may launch an ultimate move.”
“Everyone, be careful!”
Just when these people became cautious, a lively thousand foot tall Buddha’s Vajra Phantasm was formed behind Alex. Furthermore, it was accompanied by the Buddhist song.
“Adoration…”
“Adoration to the Triple Treasure…”
This was too shocking. Furthermore, it even happened in the sky of Michigan.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1985
Below was the downtown neighborhood with heavy traffic. The battle earlier did not attract much attention. However, now that the thousand foot tall Vajra Phantasm emerged with the thunderous Buddhist sutras hovering down and shaking the sky, not only the members of the American Defense Bureau but all the mortals below it could hear the sutras.
Boom!
A woman driving a private car was instantly shocked as she saw the Vajra Phantasm appear in the sky. By accident, she crashed into a car in front of her.
A man with flowers, who was about to propose to his girlfriend, immediately dropped the flowers to the ground and the ring in his hand rolled into the drain when he saw the Vajra Phantasm. He looked up to the sky. “Oh my gosh!”
Similar scenes were played all over Michigan.
The monks and nuns inside the temples and thousands of Buddhism worshippers all kneeled and burst into tears.
“Bodhisattva has revealed himself!”
“Bless Bodhisattva!”
“Bodhisattva, please let me win every bet today…”
Even the Defense Bureau members were stunned.
What kind of supernatural power was this? The stew was too great, right?
Just then, the Vajra Phantasm swung out a palm.
“Great Mighty Divine Palm!”
“Kill!”
Buzz!
The small mountain like palm pressed down onto the Defense Bureau members with an imposing aura.
“Hurry up and run!” a man shouted, causing the crowd to scatter in all directions.
However, at this moment, Alex jumped onto the Sword of the Universe and hurriedly fled in the opposite direction at lightning speed.
Several Defense Bureau members froze for a moment when they saw him escape with their own eyes. Just then, the Vajra Phantasm in the sky suddenly vanished into thin air like a mirage. The palm was not slammed down at all.
“D*mn, it’s a phantom!”
“We’ve been fooled!”
“Chase after him!”
Alex did not want to waste time here for a deadly fight. After seizing the opportunity to escape, he immediately rushed toward his home in California.
***
At the same time, Darnic Young was with a group of representatives from the official families at Young Manor in Imperial Capital.
“After the Grand Conference ended, Chief gave the American Defense Bureau members an order to capture the murderer, Jade Benmore. Looking at the time, they should have made their move by now!” Darnic said.
Someone asked, “But, Jade Benmore’s combat power is too strong. The Defense Bureau members should be no match for her, right?”
Darnic shook his head as he said, “Then, you have no idea about it. American Defense Bureau is an entity that overrides Flying Eagles. There is full of masters and even advanced weapons inside. Even if Jade Benmore is strong, it’s difficult for her to do much by herself… Besides, if she ever dares to attack the Defense Bureau members, it’d be treason then!”
“This time, she won’t be able to escape from her fate no matter what.”
***
Whoosh!
Alex rushed to the front of Rockefeller Manor. At a glance, his eyes burst with anger. He saw the entire manor had turned into ruins.
It was razed to the ground.
Now, Dorothy, Waltz, Maya, and the others were squeezing themselves in a defensive formation that Alex had built back then and struggling to support themselves. To his surprise, thirty or so cultivators were jointly attacking the formation on the periphery.
All the women inside were injured, and a few people were lying on the ground. It wasn’t clear whether they were alive or dead.
It was unknown where Jade had gone.
Meanwhile, the twenty or so people earlier quickly caught up to him.
“Alex Rockefeller, you have nowhere else to escape! Surrender yourself!” a man shouted.
A few seconds later, a group of people besieged him.
“Brother-in-law. It’s Brother-in-law- ! ”
Beatrice screamed. She was also covered in blood, and there were several bloody wounds on her body as well. “Alex, run quickly! Hurry up and escape!”
The few women there shouted. Perhaps they were all in despair!
Alex’s state of mind at this moment was devastating. Both his eyes were bloodshot.
“All of you deserve to die! Persephone’s Folly Bridge, come forth!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1986
Alex roared and channeled the divine power of a million points from his golden core into Persephone’s Folly Bridge in his mind palace.
The next second, he heard a childish voice that said, “It’s just the divine power of a million points? It’s been so long, yet you just summoned me once? It looks like your ability isn’t really that good!”
In that instant, Alex was rendered speechless for a while.
‘I need to spend a million points of divine power to use you once. Do you think I want to burn my fingers for your sake? If it isn’t because I have no other choices this time, I wouldn’t want to use you!’
Of course, all these thoughts could only course through his mind. He dared not say it out loud.
Then, under the Persephone’s Folly Bridge’s childish whine, the space of the world seemed to have cracked open a void. An ancient, blood-stained stone bridge slowly stretched out of the void. Compared to the previously used Persephone’s Folly Bridge, the stone bridge this time was over ten times larger than the previous one.
Perhaps, Alex did not have much divine power on him last time, but this time, he immediately invested a million points.
In the sky above Rockefeller Manor, no, within a ten mile radius, the Persephone’s Folly Bridge could be seen. Under the Persephone’s Folly Bridge, the water of the Styx River surged like an eternal existence.
“Oooh…”
There was an eerie yet sorrowful cry in the entire world. It repeated continuously as if the world was weeping sorrowfully at the same time.
All the people in California were stunned as they looked at the Persephone’s Folly Bridge that popped out of nowhere in the sky and heard a weeping sound. Everyone was like clay sculptures, not moving at all. As a gush of sorrow surged in their hearts, they could not stop the tears streaming down their faces.
The American Defense Bureau members bore the brunt. The astonishing scene stunned all of them. However, at this moment, those people, whom Alex had previously fooled with the Vajra Phantasm, shouted one after another, “Everyone, don’t panic. Stay calm. This is just an illusion. It’s just an illusion. This guy is good at creating mirages like the illusory bubbles. Everyone, just ignore it and take down this villain quickly.”
A Spirit Severing expert from American Defense Bureau reacted the fastest.
He immediately charged toward Alex.
However, at this moment, Alex’s cold and ruthless glance swept over him. He gently waved his hand.
The Persephone’s Folly Bridge shot a black, ancient iron chain with a whoosh and instantly penetrated the man’s chest. The Spirit Severing expert suddenly convulsed and lowered his head to look at his chest.
He was full of disbelief. ‘This… Was this an illusion?’
However, he could feel his life force depleting rapidly. His physical body turned into a pile of dust in just a second and drifted away with the wind, but the chain bound his soul. It was quickly dragged back to the Persephone’s Folly Bridge and vanished in a puff of smoke.
The scene fell into silence all of a sudden.
“What is this?”
“Could it be that this is an illusion too?”
“Holmes, Holmes, are you there? Godd*mmit, answer me if you’re there!”
However, no one answered him. Only the continuous weeping sound rang in his ears.
An American Defense Bureau member, who could not stand the dreary atmosphere, pointed at Alex and shouted furiously, “Alex Rockefeller, I know you’re the one behind this! Don’t ever think we’ll be afraid of you just because you’ve used some deceitful tricks. Everyone, let’s go together!”
Poof!
Another iron chain that drilled out of the Persephone’s Folly Bridge penetrated the man’s throat. This man ended up in the same fate as the previous man.
The second man died!
“This… It doesn’t seem like an illusion, right?”
“I can feel that he’s really dead.”
“What should we do? What should we do? What the heck is this ghastly bridge?”
A Peak-Spirit Severing expert roared, “Don’t guess it. We can’t let him defeat us one by one now. He only has one iron chain. Let’s go together and forget about the higher-ups’ order. Killing him comes first. I’ll count to three, and we’ll all strike together.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1987
“One!”
“Two…”
A cruel smile appeared on Alex’s face.
“Three!”
Just when the expert shouted the word ‘Three!’, a large, black mass of iron chains shot out of the Persephone’s Folly Bridge. It instantly killed all the American Defense Bureau members before dragging their souls into the Persephone’s Folly Bridge.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the Persephone’s Folly Bridge slowly drilled back into the void and turned into a stream of light, returning to Alex’s mind palace.
The tool Spirit’s voice that made Alex gnash his teeth with hatred carried over. ‘The divine power of a million points is too little. It’s not even enough for my appetizer! I want ten million points next time!’
‘What? Why don’t you rob someone?’
‘I’m robbing you!’
***
Alex did not care about this greedy little brat anymore. He hurriedly ran into the ruins inside and walked into the spell formation.
“Brother-in-law! You’re so powerful! ” Beatrice jumped onto Alex at once.
Alex put her down and hurriedly checked Dorothy’s condition. “Dorothy, how do you feel? Are you okay?”
Dorothy said, “I’m alright. It’s not a big deal.”
As she said that, she touched her stomach. “They’re fine too.”
Alex breathed a sigh of relief and immediately treated the injured people as he said, “Where’s my master, Jade Benmore?”
“I’m here!”
A figure flickered. The still eighteen year old Jade rushed over, but she was drenched in blood, and there was a deep, long wound that kept bleeding on her back.
Even Alex was shocked. To his surprise, even a powerful expert like Jade had fallen into such a miserable state.
Earlier, she had run away after luring two supreme experts. Otherwise, the people would have suffered the aftermath as well.
“Did American Defense Bureau members do this too?” Alex asked. “What kind of department is the American Defense Bureau?”
Jade said, “America is such a large nation. The uppermost group of people naturally want to have safety guarantees. Some people are even willing to gather around those people. That’s how American Defense Bureau came by.”
After a pause, she continued, “Darnic Young has collaborated with multiple families at official level and convened the Grand Conference to force the Chief to give an order so that American Defense Bureau can make a move against us, the master and disciple. In addition, Darnic Young fanned the flames and sowed discord among the people. We’re no longer safe here, and we must leave this place.”
Alex said, “It just happens thatI need to rescue someone in a secret realm.”
Jade asked, “Who are you going to rescue?”
“Daya Stoermer!”
“What happened to Daya Stoermer?” Dorothy looked over.
“Someone saw her facing a desperate situation in the secret realm. It’s unknown if she’s dead or alive… And, she’s pregnant.”
“Uh…” Dorothy was taken aback for a moment.
Calculating the days, wouldn’t Daya have conceived earlier than her?
At this moment, Jade said, “Let’s leave this place first. We’ll talk later. Now that fifty or so American Defense Bureau members have died here, the American higher-ups must be furious and won’t be satisfied until they have us killed. Ibelieve a large group of experts are already on their way here.”
Waltz said, “But, we have so many people here. How are we going to get around?”
Just then, Jade looked toward the east direction. “They’re coming!”
“So soon?”
At this moment, Alex took a breath and said, “I have a place that can provide a temporary shelter for everyone.”
Jade asked, “Where is it?”
“Kala Temple!”
As Alex gently waved his hand, a teleportation portal appeared in front of the crowd.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1988
Kala Temple was the final pure land of Buddhism back then.
Ksitigarbha thought that Alex was the future Lord Buddha, so he left the legacy to Alex. At the same time, he also gave Alex control of the entire Kala Temple for his usage.
As the saying in Buddhism went, “To see a world in a wildflower and a Bodhi in a leaf.”
Kala Temple did not exist in any space on Earth, but it came from another realm. The teleportation portal at the bottom of the large lake back then was just an ancient space trail connected to Kala Temple.
Then, when Alex came out of Kala Temple that time, he completely controlled the door. It existed within his cardiac acupoint. This was said to be bizarre, but it was a drastic measure of Buddhism. Now the ancient space trail’s massive door that existed in Alex’s cardiac acupoint looked as big as a sesame seed. However, when it took shape and came out, he could control its size at will.
When Alex waved his hand, a teleportation portal connected to Kala Temple appeared. Not only Dorothy and the others were shocked, but even Jade was stunned. She had engaged in many battlefields for so long, yet it was her first time witnessing such a mysterious scene.
She had never heard of someone who could carry a teleportation portal with him at all times.
“Stop dawdling! Hurry up. They’re almost here!” Alex urged.
Soon, the crowd passed through the teleportation portal one by one. Under a burst of vertigo, they passed through the ancient space trail and entered Kala Temple!
At first glance, they saw the thousand foot tall skyscraping, huge door.
In an instant, many people were stunned, especially people like Beatrice and Claire, who knew nothing about the cultivation realm. It could only be described that at this moment, they looked like their fundamental values had been subverted.
Soon, Alex rushed in as well.
Almost a second after he came in, the American Defense Bureau and Flying Eagles members had arrived at the scene. They felt a strange energy fluctuation, so they rushed over, but they could not find anything.
Alex removed that teleportation portal the moment he entered it.
‘D*mn, they really think highly of me! So many experts have come here!’
Other people could not sense the situation outside, but as Kala Temple’s master, Alex could sense and even see the situation outside… In fact, it was because he did not completely put away the teleportation portal that he had removed nor store it in his cardiac acupoint.
Instead, it was hidden outside and turned into a small node.
“You can see the outside?” Jade asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Alex answered. “The members of the American Defense Bureau and Flying Eagles are all here, with a dark, dense crowd of several hundreds of people. Are they determined to kill us both, the master and disciple?”
Alex was infuriated.
He did not do any terrible things. How could he be treated like this?
Jade said, “The unrest that your magical treasure made just now was so intense that it had covered half of California. Countless people saw that ancient and boundless anomaly with miserable wails like it had transmigrated from an ancient world. Even it had affected me. If I’m not wrong, many people will mistake the appearance of the ancient bridge in the sky for the emergence of some sort of shocking secret realm. Many people wanted to come over to look for an opportunity. What the heck was this thing of yours?”
This was the reason that Alex did not want to use it.
However, he had no choice but to use it in that situation earlier. Most importantly, never did he expect that the ruckus this time would be so intense.
When the Persephone’s Folly Bridge appeared last time, it did not have such a great impetus.
“Master, you aren’t jealous of it, are you?” Alex asked.
“Indeed, I’m quite envious of it.” Jade nodded. Seeing Alex’s nervous expression, she immediately knocked on his forehead.
“Could it be that you’re worried that I’ll snatch away your magical treasure?”
“If you want to snatch it, I really won’t be able to keep it.”
Jade said, “There are many magical treasures in this world, especially countless secret realms and magical treasures inside the ancient force field. I’ve handled no less than ten thousand pieces of magical treasures. Do you still think that I’ll covet this thing of yours?”
“No way?” Alex exclaimed.
‘No less than ten thousand pieces? What kind of concept was this?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1989
Jade said, “The world is large, but the universe is even bigger. You may not be able to understand some things thatI tell you now. In the eyes of the ancient cultivators, our world is tiny. Do you know it? In fact, in ancient times, our world was at the rock bottom of the world called Mortal Land!”
“Uh…”
“Do you know what it means? A world abandoned by the cultivators can also be called Wasteland!”
Alex looked at Jade in shock.
Jade said, “It’s hard to understand, right? To be frank, we might as well thank the meteor that fell from the sky thirty years ago. If it hadn’t smashed through the ancient force field and made a gap out of it, the people in this world wouldn’t have been able to cultivate at all because there was no spiritual energy.”
“I’ll tell you about these matters after a while. When the time comes, I’ll take you to a place.”
“Alright!”
Alex was worried about Daya in the secret realm, so he did not want to delay the time.
While talking to Jade, he paid attention to the situation outside at all times.
He heard someone outside say, “They may have escaped. They won’t be able to run far away for sure. We’ll split up to chase after them.”
With Rockefeller Manor as the center, the American Defense Bureau members were divided into several squads and scattered in all directions.
Alex thought that now was the chance. He instantly passed through Kala Temple’s teleportation portal and rushed out of it. Then, he identified a direction and was about to run away.
To his surprise, someone stopped him as soon as he ran out for a hundred meters.
“Haha, brat. Where do you think you’re going to escape to?”
“I knew you must be hiding somewhere nearby, but you’re quite capable of avoiding the ears and eyes of so many Defense Bureau experts.”
Alex took a clear look at the person who stopped him. It was a skinny old man in his sixties. He was all skin and bones with shaggy hair. Half of his face was covered, but the exposed eye was reddish-yellow, and the pupil in the middle was vertical.
‘This guy… Isn’t a human!’
After looking at him clearly, Alex made a judgment right away, normal humans’ eyes could not be like this, so this was a demon.
“What are you?” Alex asked and frowned hard as he felt a threat. This old man gave him a bizarre feeling. He had an imposing aura and the sound of wind and thunder in between his breaths. He was definitely a difficult guy.
“Tell me, what was the ancient bridge just now?”
“Take it out, and I’ll spare your life!”
Alex asked, “You aren’t a member of the Defense Bureau nor Flying Eagles. Who the hell are you?”
The skinny old man sneered. “You aren’t qualified to know who I am yet. I’ll give you five seconds to consider it. Otherwise, I’ll extract your soul and interrogate it slowly.”
Alex felt a burst of anxiety.
Subconsciously, he felt that he might be no match for the old man. The aura was too powerful, like a huge, majestic mountain or a peerless, great demon. Such a figure should not exist in a place like America.
What should he do?
It seemed that he had looked down upon the people in the world. There were still some peerless, strong people. Even someone strong like Jade would not dare to claim herself as invincible in the world.
Whoosh!
Just then, a group of people rushed back. They were members of the American Defense Bureau. Upon seeing Alex, these people immediately shouted, “The guy is here!”
Then, one man, who took a glance at the skinny old man next to Alex, said coldly, “Today, we’re only here to arrest this brat. All the irrelevant people, just leave.”
The skinny old man took a sweeping glance at them and snorted coldly, “You people either get lost or die!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 1990
What kind of people were the members of the American Defense Bureau?
Not only did they think highly of themselves, but they also had a lofty position. They did not even care about experts like Jade. They were like people of the imperial courts who looked down upon the hooligans in ancient times. Initially, the Flying Eagles squadron was also an official organization. It had been away from the government and dedicated to the battlefield in the ancient force field for the past thirty years.
In addition, Jade and the others were not interested in those great official families. The control of the Flying Eagles Academy was even in the hands of the two principals.
As the adage went, “Wise and meritorious people would be subjects of jealousy!”
The fact that Flying Eagles had gathered countless masters made top American management to be in deep envy.
Especially, the families of high-ranked officials that posed threats were constantly on guard against Flying Eagles and the Flying Eagles Academy. They also thought about sowing discord in Flying Eagles at all times so that they could devour the entire Flying Eagles and the Flying Eagles Academy.
When these people heard the old man utter such words at this moment, how could they not be furious?
“Where does this old fart come from? He already has one foot in the grave. How dare he brags so shamelessly?”
“Get lost right now, or else I don’t mind sending you a poor coffin.”
“You aren’t going to get lost? Fine, I’ll break your legs first!”
Boom!
The skinny old man acted first and landed a slap on the man’s face.
Smack!
A sound rang out.
The man’s neck was instantly broken after his head turned 720 degrees.
‘D*mn, he’s so powerful?’
Alex shuddered with fear upon witnessing the scene. ‘The dead guy earlier seems to be a Spirit Severing expert, right? So how could he just die from a slap?’
“Third Bro?!”
A man roared as his eyes burst with anger. Then, he drew his weapon and launched a ferocious attack on the skinny old man. However, this man’s cultivation base was stronger than the previous one. It turned out that he was a great Peak-Spirit Severing cultivator who was a half-step away from the Tribulation Crossing stage. Both his body and sword united as one.
He turned into a flash of lightning that cut through the void like a thunderbolt.
The vertical pupils in the skinny old man’s eyes moved slightly.
Poof!
He stretched his hand fiercely to make a grab all of a sudden.
The man’s half-stepped Tribulation Crossing body abruptly paused as he looked at the spot where his heart was in disbelief. At this moment, he discovered that his heart had been dug out alive. The skinny old man held the scarlet heart in his hand, and it was still beating constantly.
This scene was too bloody and gruesome.
The American Defense Bureau experts at the back retreated and let out screams of terror.
Two great Spirit Severing experts were dead in the blink of an eye.
This person was too terrifying. He was not someone that they could simply fight against.
Gulp!
The skinny old man opened his mouth wide and swallowed the fresh heart in a gulp.
Alex watched it dumbfoundedly as he felt a burst of cramps in his heart. On the other hand, he also clearly saw the actual appearance of the old demon. When he opened his mouth a moment ago, his facial features changed. It was no longer a human’s face but a leopard’s face.
It was an old leopard demon. However, it was ridiculously powerful.
Alex suddenly thought that even if Jade was here, she might be no match for it too.
‘I’m done for!’
‘I’ve used the Persephone’s Folly Bridge once, but the intense ruckus has attracted such a great demon. What should I do?’
He kept communicating with the wimpy brat, Persephone’s Folly Bridge, in his mind palace…
‘Persephone’s Folly Bridge?!’
‘Goddess Persephone! Sis Persephone, come out quickly! Something terrible has happened!’
‘Can I owe you ten million points for now? You have to come out first to help me handle this old fart. Then, after completion, I’ll give you twenty million points!’
No one answered him.
