The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2031
He could not even locate her, so he rushed to Flying Eagles Academy without stopping.
At this moment, that demon tribe’s governor, an old leopard demon known as Aesop finally made his move after occupying Flying Eagles Academy for a month.
“The Wasteland once had its glory during ancient times. There may be some leftover treasures of the humans that the ancient supremes had used in the past over here. Even our demon supremes were here before too.”
“Recently, I’ve received the news that an ancient demon king of our demon tribe once fought with a supreme human being. They fought all their way into the Wasteland, but both of them went missing in the end. Those two supremes most likely died in the Wasteland!”
After Aesop said that, a strong demon member with a face full of long hair next to him exclaimed, “Governor Aesop, could it be that the demon king that you’re talking about is the Peacock Heavenly King that dominated the demon world five thousand years ago?”
Aesop nodded. “Yes.”
That person next to him exclaimed, “The Peacock Heavenly King is the supreme being in the demon world. Rumor has it that she had a supreme psychic treasure that could crush the human race’s holy tool, the Xavion Sword! Back then, she and Emperor Xavion fought all the way from the wilderness in the north into the Wasteland. After that, there was no news about them anymore…”
Hiss!
Everyone’s mood unusually heightened.
If they could find the place where the Peacock Heavenly King had died and find the weapons and legacy that she had left behind, it would simply be a windfall like a stunned ordinary person after getting trillions of assets. Then, Aesop continued, “There’s an opening at the ancient force field now, so we can enter it. This is a great opportunity. Because of the rules, the humans over here generally aren’t strong, which gives us an opportunity! I have a treasure from the demon tribe with me here. It’s slightly related to the Peacock Heavenly King back then, so it can pick up some of her scent. I’ve been preparing for a month. Finally, I can see some signs of a positive outcome.”
Someone immediately asked, “What signs of a positive outcome?”
Aesop said, “According to the senses of my treasure, the Peacock Heavenly King’s scent is in the west, but the exact location is still not confirmed.”
“Governor, what are we waiting for then? Let’s go and look for the treasure now! Those are the Peacock Heavenly King’s items. If we could find the Peacock Heavenly King’s precious body, it would be even better!” The person who spoke had a head like a bird and a pointy nose. This guy was the big roc demon that could spread his wings five hundred meters wide and was known as the Sky Roc.
Aesop said, “This is a rather important matter. It’d be best if we don’t bring too many people along. So, I think just the few of us here is enough. We should work together and look for the treasure first. Then, we can distribute the loot. What do you guys think?”
Everyone present looked at each other in dismay and nodded their heads.
However, these people did not notice that two subtle figures were standing quietly against the wall in the corner where they held the secret meeting.
They were Alex and Jade who rushed over from Imperial Capital.
Alex’s original intention was to look for Holly.
However, when he reached the academy, he realized that there were no signs and scent of humans a long time ago and there were demon tribe members walking around everywhere. Knowing that it was impossible that Holly was still here, the two originally planned to scout ahead and get some information out of the demon tribe army before making their plans.
Unexpectedly, they heard those words coincidentally.
“The demon king, Peacock Heavenly King? Master, have you heard about this person before?” Alex used mental voice transmission to speak to Jade.
“He already mentioned that the person appeared five thousand years ago. How would I know? Jade shook her head.
“However, the demon tribe is very strong now. We absolutely cannot let them get the treasure that whatever demon king has left behind, or else the human race would be finished.”
Alex nodded. “Let’s sneak over to see for ourselves then. If there’s really a treasure, we’ll snatch it. The demon king’s treasure should be very good! Oh, the Xavion Sword of Emperor Xavion is a legendary divine artifact!”
Jade looked at him and smiled gently. “Don’t get too excited now. These guys are not easy to deal with.”
Alex smiled and said, “Aren’t you here too, Master? Even if a terrible disaster happens, you’re strong enough to hold it up. I’ll be your little disciple in peace.”
“Why can’t you let me be the little girl in peace?”
“Master, you can’t be lazy.”
“Pfft!”
At this moment, she picked up a scent that came from above and her expression immediately changed. “He’s back?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2032
Not just Jade but Alex could sense it as well. The scent was really strong and overpowering.
It was as great as Jade’s aura.
“Master, who is that incoming person? It seems to be a great cultivator who has already reached the Peak-Tribulation Crossing stage!” asked Alex shockingly.
Jade pouted her lips. “He’s one of the two principals of Flying Eagles Academy. His last name is Lewin, and he’s called ‘Sh*tty’.”
Alex exclaimed, “Master’s husband!”
Jade grunted coldly and said, “What master’s husband? He’s not your master’s husband, but your master’s ex-husband at most. He has nothing to do with you now, so you better not simply address him, understand?”
Alex looked at her. “Alright, alright. I’ll listen to Master.”
He could tell that Jade had a strong resentment against Principal Lewin. Clearly, the divorce was very at that time, otherwise Jade, who was as cool as a cucumber in a crisis, would not be so overwhelmed all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, Charles’ arrival immediately alerted the demon tribe.
Even Aesop, Sky Roe and the other demon tribe members in the room could sense the human expert’s aura that he released.
“Who is it? How dare you come looking for trouble in the demon tribe’s territory?”
A roar that sounded like a lion came from the outside because it was a lion demon that roared those words.
“Demon tribe’s territory?”
Charles sneered. “This place is called Flying Eagles Academy, a part of America’s territory. Since when did it become a territory to bast*rds like you? Let me ask you, have you seen a woman named Jade Benmore coming over here? She looks like this.”
He waved his hand. An image appeared in the sky and Jade’s appearance was on it.
The lion demon laughed hysterically and said, “Are you stupid? You came all the way here to look for a woman? All the women in this academy are dead, so you don’t have to look for her anymore. ”
Charles’ gaze turned cold. “She just came here.”
The lion demon impatiently said, “She’s dead! Besides, you will go there and accompany her soon!”
As he said that, he looked at the image in the air again and muttered, “This woman is so ugly. She doesn’t even have any muscle on her. What’s the point of looking for her?”
Right after he muttered, a red light flashed.
The lion demon saw a red light flashing before his eyes with an incredible killing intent locking on him. It frightened him so badly that he had goosebumps all over his body. Besides, that red light was too fast, so it was quite difficult for him to dodge it. He could only turn his head slightly in the midst of the pressing affairs.
However, it turned out that red light had a tracking ability.
When the lion demon tilted his head to the side, the red light turned in that degree as well. After that, it ruthlessly went through his glabella.
“Ah!”
“Someone has killed Old Lion!”
“The Wasteland’s human is here. Brothers, kill that b*stard to avenge Old Lion!”
As a shrill voice rang out over the academy, the demon tribe roared successively. Afterwards, the demon tribe launched attacks on Charles one after another.
“Die!”
Charles shouted coldly. He was supposed to look for Jade but he did not find her and a dumb lion said she was dead. He was already furious, but he was surging with killing aura now.
His killing mode was on instantly.
The blood-red light in his hand was actually a dagger called God- slaying Dagger. It was a spiritual treasure that could even kill gods. Killing the demon tribe with the dagger was even a walk in the park.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
The God-slaying Dagger in Charles’ hand was simply made for killing. It carried a blood-colored killinglight and a shocking killing intent. It penetrated through demon after demon without slowing down. Such a process repeated endlessly.
Once the flying dagger flew out, it would not return until its enemies all died.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of demon tribe members died under the God-Slaying Dagger. However, there was a great amount of demon tribe army here. Killing a few hundreds of them meant nothing. Moreover, the demon tribe members were not some scarecrows that could be easily murdered. Facing such a situation, countless demon tribe members were infuriated and attacked Charles.
That was the firepower coverage from tens of thousands of demon tribe members.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2033
Even if Charles acknowledged that he had peerless martial arts, he did not dare to fight them forcefully at this moment. After putting away his God-Slaying Dagger quickly, he backed off to the side to dodge it. However, he was caught up in the intense wave of attacks, and the powerful firepower overwhelmed him.
“Second Brother, I’m here!”
A figure rushed down from the sky. With a flash of golden light shone, a huge shield blocked in front of him.
On a closer look, one could see the shield had the shape of a turtle shell: it was a huge golden turtle shell.
The incoming person was Gilbert Henderson.
The tactician, Eleanor, did not come along because her cultivation was not as great as the two principals. Facing the mighty demon tribe army, she would only be as delicate as a fresh flower. She would only be a burden to the two principals even if she came over.
After that, Gilbert held up the golden turtle shell shield and blocked off waves of attacks. Meanwhile, Charles, who was hiding behind the shield, controlled the God-Slaying Dagger with his mind and ruthlessly slaughtered the demon tribe, taking the demons’ lives one after another.
Meanwhile, Alex and Jade quietly sneaked out and hid on the roof of a building for a closer look.
Alex had heard numerous times about the legend of the two principals, Charles and Gilbert, but he had never seen them before. At this moment, he looked at them from afar and realized that both principals seemed really young. They looked like they were twenty five or six years old at most.
“Master, which one is Master’s husband?” asked Alex.
Jade grumpily said, “You don’t have one.”
Alex said, “Oh, fine! But, those few people have come out. I think Master’s ex-husband is going to be in big trouble.”
As he said that, the few demon tribe’s bosses like Aesop, Sky Roe and the others all rushed out. When they saw Charles desperately taking the lives of numerous demons, the few bosses immediately roared in anger and joined the fight.
This time, Charles and Gilbert started struggling. Even the golden shield could not hold the attacks any longer.
They were forced to back off from the intensive rain of attacks.
Gilbert anxiously said, “Second Brother, have you found Jade?”
Charles shook his head. “No.”
“Has she not reached here yet?”
“I’m not sure either.”
Gilbert frowned. “The energy of the Genbu Shield is running out quickly. I can only hold on for two more minutes. We must leave in two minutes. God d*mn it! Where the hell did these demons come from? They’re much stronger than the ones that we encountered previously! Quickly yell her name twice. If she’s not here, then we’ll have no other choice.”
“Alright!”
Soon, Charles shouted, “Jade! Jade Benmore! Are you here? It’s me, Charles! Please say something if you’re here! I’ll definitely come and save you even if I die!”
His voice echoed, but there was no reply to it.
Jade, who was on the high ground, had her body concealed by the magical treasure and did not reveal her whereabouts. She pouted and said, “What a dumb*ss! Why isn’t he leaving? Does he want to stay here and die so badly?”
Alex said, “Master, I think he cares about you very much.”
Jade grunted. “I don’t need it.”
Alex said, “The situation doesn’t seem good. The few bosses of the demon tribe have surrounded them. It’s impossible for them to escape this time. They are probably going to die in the blink of an eye.”
After Alex said that, he noticed a hint of fear in Jade’s eyes.
Alex smiled and said, “Master, you’re still into your ex-husband, right?”
“Bullsh‘tt! I don’t even want to see him again. I’ll beat the hell out of you if you start spewing nonsense again.”
“Fine. Since you hate him so much, let’s watch them getting killed. You’ll be relieved if he’s dead!”
Smack!
Jade knocked his forehead hard. After that, she rushed out.
Alex covered his forehead with his hand and grunted coldly. ‘Women are such duplicitous monsters!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2034
“Kill!”
Jade took out her golden sword.
Like a white-robed god of war, she rushed toward the demon tribe army and slaughtered the demons on sight It was a scene of dreadful carnage in the blink of an eye.
Gilbert and Charles, who were being overwhelmed by the demon tribe’s attacks, immediately saw Jade. Overjoyed, Charles said, “Big Brother, I’ll go fetch her!”
Jade, who rushed into the demon tribe’s squad from the back, had messed up their formation. Hence, the demon tribe’s attacks on the two principals were also greatly reduced, giving them a chance to catch their breaths.
But, it was only for a moment. The demon leopard, Aesop, and the other experts arrived and surrounded the three of them.
Alex felt a burst of helplessness. Indeed, caringness would result in a mess.
Jade was a bit confused because Principal Lewin was in a dangerous situation. It was not the best time to rush out now, but there was no other way.
‘Alright then!’
Alex held the Sword of the Universe in one hand and the Requiem Clock in the other hand before rushing to Jade’s location from the tall building.
Bong!
The Requiem Clock made a loud, shocking sound. It contained a supreme intention that made people repent and be absolved of their crimes.
Almost instantly, all of the people and demons who heard the bell lost their ability to move for a short while.
However, to Aesop, whose cultivation level was really high, the pause was only for a brief moment. He got out of the dazed state very quickly. When he got a clearer look of Alex, he was not shocked but rejoiced. “Brat, it’s you! I’ve been looking for you for a long time now! You’re truly a man of many treasures. This divine clock is also a rare treasure and I want it.”
“No way!”
Since Alex knew how strong this guy was, he immediately rang the Requiem Clock again. He rushed next to Jade like lightning.
At this time, Charles and Gilbert arrived as well.
Alex had no time to greet Gilbert right now, so he shouted, “Run quickly!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few great demons came back to their senses.
Aesop shouted at one sexy and seductive female demon, “Sing your spectral song. The brass bell in this brat’s hand is very good and it can shock people’s hearts.”
“Ah, ah, ah!”
The obedient sexy female demon started singing at once.
‘God d*mn it!’ Alex had never heard such an unpleasant sound. It was like two wire saws pulling on each other. It agitated the listeners and made them want to curse while stomping their feet. Not only the humans like the few of them felt so, those demons could not stand it either.
Several big demons held their heads. “Listening to this sound gives me a headache! This must be the most unpleasant sound in the world.”
“Spectral song my *ss! Which lunatic gave it this kind of name? I’m going to kill that b*stard.”
Aesop yelled, “What’re you complaining about? Go get the clock first!”
The demon tribe attacked once again.
Bong!
Another loud buzz rang out
The Requiem Clock once again made a sound full of compulsion.
This magical treasure was so amazing that it could clear Alex’s mind and get rid of the negative mental attacks, but it could also be used against the enemies to inflict psychological trauma on them.
However, it was useless this time.
The unpleasant singing from the sexy female demon interfered with the power of the Requiem Clock… Well, it was not because the Requiem Clock was useless, but it was because Alex was petty.
Every time he rang the Requiem Clock, he had to consume a considerable amount of divine power. He had struck it four or five times. Even if the divine power had turned into a gold en lake now, it was not enough for him to consume it frantically.
“The bell sound is useless now!”
“Kill them then!”
As Jade made a sword slash, the overwhelming golden sword light covered an area of a kilometer. However, there were demonic weapons and magical treasures among the great demons as well.
Bong!
An iron hammer blocked the sword halfway. It came from a Black Bear Demon.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2035
“Back to back!”
“Make way toward the south!”
However, there were more and more demons. They surrounded the few of them tightly as if they were packed like sardines. They simply could not see the figures at all.
Alex gave up.
He said to Jade, “Master, I don’t want to work hard anymore.”
Charles’ eyelids twitched. ‘What did he mean? Is he trying to confess to my ex-wife and begging to be a kept man in this life-and-death situation?’
Jade nodded. “Fine!”
Gilbert said, “Commander Benmore, what the hell are you people saying? Are you going to give up just like that? No! We still can charge out of here if we try harder…”
Before he could finish, Alex suddenly yelled, “Baymax, Whitey, it’s time to get to work!”
Roar!
Meow!
The two huge roars came from the outside of Flying Eagles Academy.
All the demons present trembled when they heard it. Aesop, who had an astonished expression on his face, looked toward the sound source. Then, he saw a big white ape and a big white cat in armor flying from the outside.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Vajra Demonic Ape’s huge body destroyed countless buildings, as if it were a rampaging tank. In comparison, the body of the white cat, Whitey, was much slimmer.
The Vajra Demonic Ape that had rushed to the front looked at the scene before it and roared.
A fascinating scene occurred. Almost all of the demons crawled to the ground, shivering.
What made Alex feel even more shocked was, the leopard demon, Aesop, swiftly ran to the Vajra Demonic Ape’s side, hugged its small leg, and shouted, “My king! Where have you been all these years? I’ve been looking for you so hard! Sob…”
The scene was instantly spellbound.
Principal Lewin and Principal Henderson did not know the Vajra Demonic Ape.
Seeing such a scene, they felt as though they had been struck by a bolt out of the blue. Originally, this was an exceptionally tough battle and they were more likely to lose than winning. But now such a huge guy appeared, so how were they supposed to fight that?
Alex and Jade looked at each other in dismay.
Jade asked him, “Hey, what’s going on?”
Alex whispered, “I’m puzzled too.”
“Whom will it help?”
“It looks like they’re closer to each other.”
“We’re done for! We’ve just dug our own graves!” Charles was upset when he saw the way the two people were whispering intimately. He wanted to slap Alex to death on the spot.
Gilbert asked, “Commander Benmore, what’s up with this big guy?”
Jade pointed at Alex, “Ask your son-in-law.”
Gilbert’s mouth was agape. “My son-in-law?”
He sized up Alex from head to toe and hurriedly pinched his fingers, trying to make some fortune-telling. Unexpectedly, the more fortune-telling he made, the more foggy it got. It turned out that the fate of the man before him was like it had been covered in a vast expanse of white cloud fog. He could not foresee the concealed heavenly tribulation at all.
Principal Henderson was shocked.
His ability in fortune-telling was the best in the world, yet this was his first time to encounter an unforeseeable fate. This person must be extraordinary, so he asked, “You… Which daughter of mine do you know?”
Alex showed his fingers. “Two.”
Principal Henderson gasped. ‘Good boy, you’ve stolen two of my daughters?’
Jade said, “Let me say it. Luna only wants to marry him and your wife Metzli has agreed to it. My disciple is a giant among men. I’d say you’ve got yourself a good deal!”
Principal Henderson gave an ‘oh’ as reply. He was quite satisfied with Alex’s look, but Jade added, “But there won’t be any wedding whatsoever since your daughter can only be a mistress.”
“…”
The father-in-law Henderson glared at Alex, fuming with rage.
At this moment, the hundred thousand army of the demon tribe suddenly hissed in unison, bowed towards Alex and shouted, “All hail Master!”
The crowd instantly went silent.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2036
“All hail Master?”
Jade Benmore and the others glanced at each other.
“What’s going on?”
“Why do all these demon tribe members look like they’re bowing to us? Who is their master?”
“It can’t be me, right?” Principal Henderson said with a smug look.
However, Alex was well aware that the demon tribe were bowing to him.
Because at this moment, countless golden lights flew into his golden core and fell into the golden lake. As the waves rippled, all the streams of golden light turned into divine power. This was not the wish power of Buddishm, but the divine power directly converted from faith.
In a short moment, the divine power consumed by the usage of Requiem Clock last time was replenished completely.
However, it didn’t stop there.
The golden lake in his golden core expanded constantly. The value of the divine power in him surged wildly, one million, two million, three million… It was an increase of a whole five million points.
Adding on the previously possessed points, he had nearly ten million points of divine power now. Therefore, wouldn’t it be possible for him to use Persephone’s Folly Bridge again?
However, what stunned him more was naturally the demon tribe’ current attitude.
Since they worshiped him as their master, then the demon tribe shouldn’t trouble the humans anymore, right?
Boom! Boom!
The Vajra Demonic Ape came over with huge strides. It stretched out its long arm and extended its palm towards Alex. However, its palms were also enormous. Jade and the others couldn’t tell who exactly it was looking for. That old, shameless guy, Principal Henderson, took the lead and hopped onto the palm of the Vajra Demonic Ape.
Roar!
The Vajra Demonic Ape immediately opened its mouth and roared.
It sprayed the saliva in its huge mouth all over Gilbert’s body, as though he had taken a drool shower.
Gilbert cut a sorry figure as he got off the Demonic Ape’s palm and said embarrassedly, “It looks like it isn’t worshipping me.”
“Could it be that it’s worshipping me?” Xerxes Lawlor said.
Jade snorted coldly. “You stinking, shameless farts! The one they’re worshipping is obviously… My disciple!”
Gilbert’s eyes widened. “That kid? His cultivation base is only at Core Formation. What right does he have?”
“By virtue of his wife,” Jade replied.
“What?”
“His wife is the real master of this Vajra Demonic Ape.” Gilbert glanced at Alex. “Pfft, so you’re just a man who relies on his wife.”
Jade snorted lightly. “It seems that you’re also a live-in son-in-law. All your daughters have their mother’s family name too.”
Alex hurriedly said, “Master, why did you say ‘also’? I’m not a live-in son-in-law, my children still have my family name.”
Jade nodded. “Yes, that’s how a real man should be.”
Gilbert felt depressed and kicked Xerxes.
“Brother, why the heck did you kick me?”
“Why can’t you control your woman?”
Xerxes scratched his head and said, “I… I’m a henpecked husband.”
Now, even Jade wanted to laugh.
Alex finally stepped onto the Vajra Demonic Ape’s palm.
Baymax retracted its arm and placed Alex on its broad shoulders, giving Alex the feeling as though he had fallen into shaggy grass. Baymax was huge and tall, and the fur on its shoulders was too long. It probably never trimmed its fur in its life. When Alex stood on its shoulders, only his head was exposed. He couldn’t see his feet at all.
However, it didn’t affect the demon tribe to pay their respects.
“Master! Master!”
“All hail Master!”
The demon tribe cheered loudly in sonorous voices.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2037
At the same time, not only was there monitoring of the high-definition satellites in the sky above Flying Eagles Academy, but a lot of drones also flew over to send clearly the scene of tens of thousands of demons bowing on the ground and worshipping their master to the eyes of America’s Emperor.
At this moment, countless people in the Supreme Conference Room of America were wide-eyed as they watched this incredible scene.
***
“Why do you people worship me as your master?”
Alex was slightly intolerant of the Vajra Demonic Ape’s long fur. From this angle, the long fur easily brushed against his nostrils, and he couldn’t help but want to sneeze.
So, he jumped onto Baymax’s ear.
As the demon tribe’ governor, Aesop, the leopard demon, respectfully said, “Master, the king has recognized you as our master, so you are our master. Our lives were saved by the king. We do whatever the king tells us to do without any objections. From now on, the three million demon tribe members in Vajra City will answer to you, Master.”
Alex exclaimed, “You people have three million demon tribe members? So many of you?”
Aesop replied, “Actually, there may be… A little more than that.”
Not only Alex, even Jade and the others were speechless after hearing it.
There were so many demon tribe members! If they were to all attack America together, forget about America, even the entire world wouldn’t be able to hold them off!
“Then… If I ask you all to retreat from the humans’ territory, would you people agree?” Alex asked a little nervously.
“Of course, it won’t be a problem, ” Aesop replied.
Alex laughed loudly and said, “Oh, then that’s great. Then… Let’s get out of here now, how about it?”
Aesop simply stood up and shouted, “Go on, leave the Wasteland. Return to the inside of the ancient force field.”
Whoosh!
The demon tribe’ movements were really fast.
The moment Aesop gave the order, all hundred thousand tribe members started to move. A dense mass of them left Flying Eagles Academy, heading towards the ancient force field.
***
In the Supreme Conference Room of America…
“Emperor, the demon tribe has retreated!”
“That’s great! The demon tribe has actually retreated!”
The crowd burst into loud cheers.
Over the past month, the tremendous pressure that had been pressing on America’s higher-ups was finally relieved. The people could finally take a breather.
However, very quickly, someone said, “But, haven’t you people realized a problem? Why did the demon tribe that refused to leave before this would leave immediately after Jade Benmore and her idiot disciple made an appearance? Also, the demon tribe actually called him their master. Why is that?”
“Could it be that Jade Benmore actually colluded with the demon tribe to put on this act?”
“What’s her purpose?”
“I’m afraid that her purpose… Is the Emperor!”
The Emperor’s expression changed as he said, “Don’t use frightening words to scare people, or come up with reckless speculations. The two principals were here just now. It was just a walk in the park if they ever wanted to kill me. Why would they bother to do so?”
An old man said, “Emperor, it’s better to be cautious! Before this, if Jade Benmore had forcibly taken Emperor’s throne, it would be illegitimate. But now she has the cooperation of the demon tribe to put on this show, it would be justified.”
The Emperor jumped in shock. “So, what you’re saying is that, Jade Benmore will come here looking for me after a while?”
Another person said, “It’s best to be cautious. Emperor, why don’t you try to prevent such a scenario from happening first?”
***
At this moment, Jade and a bunch of demon tribe members had passed through the ancient force field and had arrived at the outpost.
Seeing the place had been destroyed into ruins, Jade was distressed. Thinking about so many Flying Eagles members who had died in the hands of the demon tribe, she really wished that she could kill all of the demon tribes.
However, logic told her that she couldn’t do it!
These one hundred thousand demon tribe members alone had reduced the Flying Eagles to this state, but there were still three millions demon tribe members inside it. So, how was it possible to fight them all? It was impossible to kill them all, and they would even bring a catastrophe to mankind.
Unexpectedly, Aesop even said to Alex, “Master, we didn’t know about the damaged ancient force field before this. This is the edge of our Vajra City, and there are only a few villages here. The demonic beasts here are all relatively low-level. I only got information recently, and then came over to take a look. I didn’t expect that the humans had caught my wife who had just given birth to a child and even killed her. Because of that, I led the army and forced the conquest in rage.”
“But, there are no less than ten demon cities in this area. If they get wind that the force field over here is broken, they will probably be interested in the Wasteland.”
When a few of them heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Especially Jade. She didn’t expect that she had fought hard for the campaign and left behind countless soldiers, only to find that they had only been fighting against a few villages of the demon tribe. This was too unfair.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2038
Alex glanced at Aesop.
At this time, he really wanted to ask about the Peacock Heavenly King. He wasn’t interested in the Demon King’s treasure, but he was very interested in the Xavion Sword wielded by the Emperor Xavion.
It would be great if he could find the human race’s holy tool, the Xavion Sword, through the Demon King’s treasure that Aesop was looking for.
However, he still wasn’t sure what the demon tribe thought in their minds. He was afraid that it would just end up with another fallout if he stated this request hastily now.
So, he could only suppress the idea in his mind.
“Alright! Then you people can go back first!” Alex said.
“Since it’s the Wasteland over the human side and it doesn’t bring any benefit to you people, don’t cross the ancient force field again in the future. Of course, if the demon tribe on your side has any needs, you can also bring it up. We’ll co-exist peacefully, how does that sound?”
Aesop nodded. “We’ll listen to Master’s arrangement.”
As expected, Aesop didn’t mention the matter about the Peacock Heavenly King.
***
Once the demon tribe retreated, the Vajra Demonic Ape, Baymax, also left.
Baymax couldn’t speak yet, so communication was a little difficult. However, it could communicate with the demon tribe without problems. It was puzzling how that logic worked.
Through Aesop, Alex knew that Baymax intended to find him after a while. This was certainly not a problem.
Soon, the entire outpost was left with only Alex, Jade, the two principals, Gilbert and Xerxes, as well as the shrunk white cat on Alex’s shoulder. It stretched itself and yawned from time to time, before closing its eyes and going to sleep.
Jade glanced around the outpost that she once guarded with her life. She just felt an emptiness in her heart.
The buildings in the outpost had long been destroyed, and there were rotting corpses of the Flying Eagles members who had fought to death a month ago on the ground. The entire area was filled with the smell of decay.
Jade’s eyes wandered around the entire area as tears fell down her beautiful eyes.
“Jade, don’t be sad. Now that things are like this, it’s still a good result. At least you don’t have to fight on the battlefield every day, and you don’t have to watch your comrades die daily. You can also rest now.” Xerxes comforted her as he patted Jade on the shoulder lightly.
However, Jade slapped his hand away. She turned around and threw herself at Alex, hugging him tightly.
Xerxes was startled and looked at Alex with a slightly unkind gaze as he said, “Rockefeller brat, Jade is your master. How can you embrace her like this? Where is your decorum?!”
As the jealousy surged, Xerxes was eaten with jealousy.
Jade coldly said, “What the hell has this got to do with you? I just like to hug my disciple. I even want to take a leaf out of Shooriyojou’s book by marrying my disciple and giving birth to his children in the future.”
Alex froze on the spot. Gilbert unkindly smiled.
Xerxes suddenly felt as though he had been cuckolded. He seethed with fury yet helpless.
He spoke in a low, muffled tone, “Didn’t you say you couldn’t give birth?”
Jade replied, “That’s because you’re useless. If it’s my disciple, it should be fine.”
“Hahaha…”
Gilbert could no longer hold it back anymore and burst into laughter.
Alex could already feel that Xerxes was about to blow his top, yet he didn’t want to carry the blame for this matter. Alex had known well previously whether or not Jade still held Xerxes in her heart. Jade was merely trying to provoke him right now.
Just then, someone entered the ancient force field.
Alex quickly took the chance to push Jade away and said, “Master, someone is coming.”
The incoming person was the tactician, Eleanor Curtis. Several experts who used to be in the Flying Eagles followed behind her.
Among them were Butcher, Bunty, Danseur, Nora Stewart and so on. Basically all the surviving members under Jade’s team whom Alex had known before were there.
“Sister!”
Nora rushed forward and hugged Jade.
Bunty also rushed forward, but she pulled Alex into a hug instead.
“Good boy, you’re now an international celebrity!”
“You’re more popular than the hottest celebrity in the world! Countless people want to meet you!”

“It’s been an entire month, I thought something had happened to you guys!” Bunty’s sophisticated voice rang in Alex’s ears as she hugged him.
Butcher took two glances at him before averting his gaze. He probably didn’t want to see his wife being so intimate with another man. But if he were to step forward and say anything, he would be seen as a petty man. Forget it, he just pretended that he didn’t see it!

After that, a group of people started to clean up the outpost and dug out each and every corpse to identify them.
All the members of the Flying Eagles who had died in battle needed to be identified and registered. They were all heroes!
After a while, another team came over. This time, it was an official from the government.
An official walked over and said to Alex and Jade, “The Emperor wants to meet you both!”
“The Emperor?”
Jade snorted. “Tell him that I have already retired and returned to civilian life. I am no longer the commander of the Flying Eagles. Don’t come looking for me again for any official matters in the future. From tomorrow onwards, I will live a reclusive life. Let the old man take care of himself!”
The official was slightly startled.
Then, he turned to Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, the Emperor said that I must bring you back to see him. The Emperor would like to understand the situation about the matter in Flying Eagles Academy previously.”
Alex shook his head. “Forget it, I won’t go too! A person like me is probably a threat in the Emperor’s eyes! Please go back and tell the Emperor that the ancient force field is temporarily safe, but it’s not free of worries yet. Extraordinary people can come into the world inside it, but everything depends on their luck!”
After a pause, he continued, “I’ve been busy for so many days, so I should leave. I haven’t even made a toast to my daughter’s one month celebration. I’m leaving first!”
Having said that, he was already ten miles away once he took a step out. When he took another step, he disappeared in everyone’s eyes.
When Nora saw the way he left, she said amazedly, “This kid’s cultivation base is getting more and more intriguing. He’s clearly only in the Core Formation realm, so how can he have such high-level means?”
Jade shook her head and said, “He’s not following the ordinary cultivation path. Even if you go up against him, you wouldn’t be able to beat him either.”
“No way? A few months ago, I could still beat him with one arm.”
Ignoring the excitement at the outpost, Alex immediately flashed twice. Then, he opened the passage to Kala Temple and walked in.
In the past month, he had understood the secret behind how his father left the ancient teleportation circle. Now there were a few necessary improvements left. He believed in less than three months, he would be able to completely control the mystery of space teleportation and look for his father’s tracks.
However, he was also a father now. He couldn’t let his children go through the days without a father by their side, just like himself.
So, even if he wanted to go, he would still accompany his daughter first. Then, he had to wait for Dorothy to give birth to the quadruplets in her womb.
After he passed through Kala Temple’s gate, he caught sight of a beautiful woman, it was Beatrice.
“Brother-in-law! You’re finally back!”
Beatrice rushed towards him and threw herself into his arms. “I was so worried about you! ”
Alex felt slightly embarrassed. “Ahem, where’s your sister?”
“My sister? I think she’s going to give birth soon,” Beatrice replied.
“What did you say?! So soon?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2040
Alex felt a little dizzy.
Daya had given birth prematurely because she had stayed inside Time City for a period of time. The time flow there was different than the outside world, but how long had Dorothy been pregnant?
Was it possible that there was a similar place in Kala Temple?
The quadruplets inside Dorothy’s womb were only in their fifth months at most, based on his calculations.
“Beatrice, what happened to your sister? It’s only been five months, why is she going to give birth soon? Even if it’s a premature birth, it shouldn’t be that early.”
While speaking, Alex pulled Beatrice and ran inside.
Beatrice said, “Brother-in-law, my sister’s situation is a little special. Stop and listen to me first.”
“Huh?” Alex stopped. “Tell me, what’s the situation?”
Beatrice said, “I waited at Kala Temple’s gate just to tell you this matter. This is what my sister asked me to tell you… She said that ‘she’ might come out early. She had to do so just in case. Also, your aura will speed up ‘her’ to come out. So, my sister asked you not to see her for the time being.”
After Beatrice finished speaking, she thought for a while.
After confirming that she hadn’t said anything wrong, she nodded. “That’s all, Brother-in-law. What’s the meaning of this? Why can’t I understand it? Who is ‘she ’? Is my sister in any danger?”
Alex shook his head with an extremely solemn expression. He didn’t know what he should do.
“Your sister, she… How is she now?”
“I don’t know either. She locked herself in the innermost pagoda of Kala Temple, and no one could go in! My mom is freaking out here! How can anyone give birth like this?” Beatrice said as tears flowed down her cheeks. “Brother-in-law, is my sister hiding something from us? She said some things to me before she went in. It’s strange, but I felt like she was doing a hand over…. A final hand over! She also told me to tell no one, but only you.”
Alex paced in circles at Kala Temple’s gate.
He thought that the person in Dorothy’s Reincarnation Stone would make trouble, but he didn’t expect that it would be so fast. The problem just appeared before the children were born. When he thought that Dorothy was facing it in the pagoda alone now, he was overwrought and his eyes were red-rimmed.
When Daya was giving birth to their daughter, Alex was outside.
Now, Dorothy was giving birth to their children, he was outside too.
It was just depressing. He sat down on the ground and clutched his head with a pained expression.
“What should we do, Brother-in-law? Think of something!” Beatrice knelt down in front of his knees and shook Alex vigorously.
“There’s no way. What can I do?” Much to his chagrin, Alex said, “Your sister did that in order to have a successful birth before ‘she’ awakens. Didn’t she say that? If I head over, she might suffer from my influence and that will wipe out all her efforts. Can I just stand here and watch…”
Alex slammed his fist on the ground bitterly.
However, every part of Kala Temple was unbreakable under the protection of the power of laws. Instead, his hand trembled in immense pain.
He shed tears.
The love between him and Dorothy surged in his heart. He didn’t know if she would still be his wife when he saw her next time.
However, he knew that there was no formation blueprint to change the time flow inside the pagoda. In order for Dorothy to give birth to their five month old children smoothly and safely, there was only one way…
That was to speed up the children’s growth in the womb. This required her to use her own blood essence to feed them. And now, she needed to feed the four of them. Alex didn’t know whether Dorothy would be able to survive until that time.
Seeing that Alex was crying too, Beatrice was even more panicked.
“Brother-in-law, what the hell is going on? Can you tell me?”
“Please, I’m begging you!”
Alex took a deep breath and asked, “What did your sister tell you?”
Beatrice started, “Anyway, it was like she won’t be around any longer after this… She asked me to be the mother to her four children and also said… She would allow me to come in.”
When she said that last part of her words, she gave Alex a cautious look
Alex shook his head weakly. “Sit down! I’ll slowly tell you. There’s a stone inside your sister’s cardiac acupoint.”
