Ch. 2131..2140
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2131
Hermione Yggdrasil quickly jumped out of the golden cart and made her way into the depths of the Misty Swamp.
What she went looking for, naturally, was not the paper dolls but Alex. Although the Reflective Eye had been blurred, it had another effect, marking a target. So even if Alex had the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell in his body, which went against the world’s natural order and could shield him from the Reflective Eye, she could still find his approximate location.
At this moment, Alex could also feel as though there was something that had locked onto him.
“Junior…”
Frostine Usoro and everyone else had followed the paper doll puppet and caught up with him.
So far, Alex had rescued a total of approximately fifty people. This was also about the limit of his usage of the paper doll puppets.
“Senior, I’m being targeted!” Alex gave her a bitter smile.
Frostine was taken aback “By who?”
Alex shook his head. “I can only feel it, and that someone is catching up to me quickly. My paper doll puppets can still scout out some of the road conditions. You guys have to hurry and head in that direction. I will get the paper doll puppets to lead you, hurry and go.”
“What about you?” Frostine started to become anxious.
“I will lure that person away.”
“What? The sect master of the Plenilune Sect is probably the only one that can lock onto you. How will you deal with him alone? No, I’ll stay with you.”
“Senior, you have to train hard so that your future is boundless! Don’t worry about me. Even if it’s their sect master, who’s in the ninth realm to Imminent Immortal, I won’t die so easily.”
Frostine also knew that with her level of cultivation, she wouldn’t help him much. She would instead be a burden to him.
“Your daughter, Bubbles…”
“I promised her mother that I would take care of her, no matter what happens. We’re inseparable. Even if we die, we will die together!”
The most important thing was that he didn’t feel assured to hand his daughter over to Frostine!
What if the entire group was annihilated?
It was better for Alex to hold onto her!
“They’re almost here. Hurry up and go!” After saying this, Alex immediately ran in the opposite direction.
Soon, he felt the person chasing him had also turned to follow after him immediately. Alex released a few paper doll puppets. He didn’t expect that as soon as he let them out, they were instantly burned, and his fingers were also almost burned.
“Sh*t, that’s amazing!”
He teleported quickly.
Unexpectedly, the person following him was not slow. Moreover, she also said, “Don’t try to run anymore. I already have a mark on you, and I can find you wherever you go.”
‘A woman?’ Alex was taken aback.
He had thought it would be the fake sect master from the Plenilune Sect. He didn’t expect to hear a voice that seemed to belong to a young woman.
“Who are you?”
Alex was already deep in the Misty Swamp when he asked the question.
“My name is Hermione Yggdrasil.”
“Sh’tt, you’re Khloe’s sister!”
“That’s right!”
Alex suddenly saw a woman in a red dress rushing toward him from the front at this moment, and on both sides, the same woman was also approaching him. That was right, the exact same woman.
Including the one behind him, weren’t there four of them?
“F*ck, they can’t be quadruplets, right?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2132
“Divine Eye, Perception!”
“Look into the past and future, and manifest the truth!”
Alex quickly confirmed that they were not quadruplets, and there was only one real physical body, while the other three were mirror images. However, the three mirror images were very realistic, and they could pass off as genuine.
Not only did they look extremely realistic, but they also felt real through his divine consciousness. So even the attacks from those mirror images were very real.
Clang, clang, clang!
After a staggering exchange of blows by their weapons, Alex held his daughter in his arms as he retreated three steps. The four Dragon Bone swords stood to attention and were divided in four directions.
“What strange mirror images!”
Alex could tell that Hermione’s cultivation base was not very high, but her combat abilities were much higher than her cultivation level. So, including the three mirror images assisting her, Alex found that he couldn’t easily crush her…
What made it all the more difficult was that he still needed to protect his daughter.
Hermione had also stopped, pausing her attacks and instead said, “Your strength is not bad, but you are not at a level where you can beat me. But, more importantly, it’s not a difficult matter if I wanted to kill your daughter.”
Alex’s eyes were chillingly cold. “You can try.”
Hermione shook her head. “I think we can talk or make a deal.”
Alex was taken aback. “I destroyed your whole family, and you still want to make a deal with me?”
“It’s just a tribe, bonds of the secular world. This so-called family relationship will be completely cut off in at most another thousand years. I don’t care about it,” Hermione said indifferently.
Based on what she told Alex, who had his Divine Eye, her words were true, and she wasn’t lying to him.
But… This was very interesting.
Such a woman! Her parents had been murdered, and the culprit was right in front of her, and she actually said she didn’t care. Was that even possible? According to Alex’s experiences, such a person either had a brain problem or a bigger conspiracy.
“What is the deal you want to make with me?”
“I want… The Ten-Point Forbidden Spell that you possess.”
Hiss!
Shock and surprise rippled through Alex’s heart. The Ten-Point Forbidden Spell had appeared on his forehead and cardiac acupoint inexplicably. Unfortunately, there were no records of it even in the Ultimate Book of Medicine. He had to explore his with caution because nothing was known about it!
How did this woman know?
However, the expression on his face remained unchanged. “What is this Ten-Point Forbidden Spell? I’ve never heard of it. Have you made a mistake?”
The imposing aura around him clambered up as he prepared to teleport away to escape.
However, Hermione suddenly pulled out a mirror, which rotated. In the next second, four identical copies of herself appeared beside her, every one of them a replica of herself.
Alex was dumbfounded. He glanced at the mirror and finally understood how her mirror images came to be. But wasn’t this magic treasure overly powerful? Could it produce endless copies? But, on the other hand, he could also feel that those new mirror images had the same strength as the other ones and not any weaker.
According to this logic, wasn’t this woman an army by herself?
This was just… Entirely outrageous!
“I definitely have not made a mistake!” All the Hermiones surrounded Alex and said at the same time, and their voice sounded like an echo in a movie theater.
“Do you know who my master is? She’s basically the Goddess of Time, a real goddess. This is a prehistoric divine artifact given to me by her, the Reflective Eye. It can determine whether a person has the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell. As long as you’re willing to let me have a share of it…”
“You’ll give me the mirror?” Alex asked.
“That… Of course not!” Hermione’s lips curled up into a smile. “Well, it may be possible in the future! As long as you agree to share it with me, we can cultivate it together. I can also promise to become your cultivation partner. How about it? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!”
“Cultivation partner?”
A strange expression crossed Alex’s face.
‘Cultivation partner? Didn’t that mean a wife?’
“Ahem, while your condition is very heartwarming, isn’t it just the case of sharing the forbidden spell? So it isn’t a hardship. I also think you’re beautiful, but how can I trust you?”
“Then, what would it take for you to trust me?”
“Uh… How about this, take off one of your underwear and give it to me as a token of your love. What did you just say?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2133
“You don’t want to? Then, I know you were just lying to me. You can’t even fulfil such a simple request, yet you say you want to become my cultivation partner. What an excellent liar you are, and what a glib tongue you have!”
Hermione Yggdrasil furrowed her brow and snorted on the inside. ‘So, it turned out that he is just a pervert.’
However, a person with this kind of desire was not difficult to deal with.
Hermione pretended to be bashful. “Who said I was lying to you? I’m just… A little shy. You’re asking for the most intimate piece of clothing the moment you open your mouth. That’s a sacred item to a woman, together with the scent that comes with it!”
Alex snickered and said, “It’s because of that authentic scent that I want it!”
“How shameless!”
“Hehehe… I’m a man who loves beautiful women more than anything else!”
“Then, You should turn around.”
“That won’t work… I fear that you will just stab me with your sword and be done with it.”
“Alright!”
There were seven mirror images, and while four of them kept their eyes on Alex, the other three blocked Hermione’s real body from his sight. Light, rustling sounds were heard. A few minutes later, a beautiful pair of underwear was thrown in Alex’s direction. “Here!”
Thud!
The underwear landed directly on Alex’s head. He didn’t move a single muscle.
“Hey, have you gone out of our mind?”
Seeing that he hadn’t moved at all, Hermione gave him an annoyed look.
However, Alex still didn’t move.
“Something’s not right!”
Hermione finally felt that something was wrong, and at this moment, her divine consciousness detected a flash of a figure to her left. It was Alex, with his daughter in his arms, rushing to the other side of the swamp.
“A*shole, he deceived me!” Hermione exclaimed angrily before giving chase immediately. The mirror images also followed after her.
However, she instantly discovered that the four mirror images originally guarding Alex were motionless, as though they had been trapped in some kind of formation.
“Humph! He’s somewhat capable!”
The Reflective Eye turned in her hand, and those four mirror images immediately turned to dust. Then, another four mirror images rushed out from the Reflective Eye, dispersing and rushing to pursue after Alex.
Two seconds later, Alex, who had Hermione’s underwear thrown on his head, suddenly reached out to grab the clothing. Then, his body flashed, teleporting in the other direction.
It turned out that this was the real Alex. The one that ran away just now was a fake.
Hermione quickly overtook the fake puppet. “I gave you an easy way out, but you insist on taking the hard way! Fine, let’s break your legs first!”
Boom, boom!
Not only did the puppet’s legs get broken, his entire body, including his daughter, was also shattered. Hermione was taken aback and yelled out, “F*cking hell, I fell for it! It’s a fake!”
She turned back quickly, but Alex had long since run away.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
“This is so frustrating! Let’s see where you can run to!”
She pulled out the Reflective Eye again and pinpointed Alex’s location before shooting off in a wild dash.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2134
“Don’t you think Hermione was acting a little weird?” the Plenilune Sect’s sect master said to the grand elder while they were seated in the golden cart.
The grand elder was puzzled. “Which part?”
“You didn’t feel anything?” the sect master said. “After the Reflective Eye went blurry, she seemed stunned, as though she had seen something incredible.”
“Isn’t it because she had insufficient skill to utilize the mirror fully?” the grand elder said.
The sect master sneered, “Do you really think so? She said the same afterward, but if that were really the case, she wouldn’t have looked so surprised. On the contrary, the way she spoke sounded like she was excited, and she even went off alone, in the end, to chase after that Rockefeller guy.”
The grand elder thought for a moment before finally reacting, “Sect Master, do you mean to say that Hermione concealed something from us and left us to look for that Alex?”
Then, after a pause, he seemed to agree. “Yes, her expression was strange at that time. I didn’t think too much about it before, but now that I think about it, it was as you said.”
The sect master sat down on a stool. “Didn’t you realize that the golden cart has been going forward all this while? So we’ve not been too far away from Hermione all this while.”
“Sect Master, you are wise indeed!”
***
Whoosh!
Boom, boom, boom…
Alex held his daughter to his chest and had run into Hermione at least five times already. His swords had killed off four of Hermione’s mirror images.
He initially thought that Hermione’s mirror could produce copies of herself indefinitely. Still, it seemed that no matter how much she copied, she could only have seven mirror images out at one time.
That meant that seven was her limit.
Moreover, after he had killed four of her mirror images, Hermione had only maintained five mirror images after that. It further explained that she had already reached the point where she couldn’t summon more mirror images with her cultivation base at the moment. However, Hermione had received the goddess’ inheritance, and her combat capabilities were good indeed.
At this moment, Alex was stabbed in the back.
There was also strange energy on the wound. Even if he used a Zharvakko talisman, he couldn’t dissipate this strange energy in a short time. Also, blood kept dripping from the wound.
Boom!
Another sword came at him.
Hermione’s long sword glare chopped off some of Alex’s hair.
Alex jerked from the shock, cold sweat breaking out. He was cursing Persephone’s Folly Bridge inside his heart. It was not profitable to deal with her, as she asked for 100 million divine power points the moment she opened her mouth before she was willing to help again. If she were willing to take action, it wouldn’t be necessary for him to try so hard to escape!
Bubbles Rockefeller, who was in his arms, seemed to feel the crisis her father was in at the moment. She looked at Alex with her big eyes and clutched Alex’s clothes tightly with her tiny hands.
“How is it? Can you still hold up?”
As Hermione pursued him to kill, she spoke, “I’m already merciful. If I had stabbed your daughter just now, what do you think would have happened to her?”
Alex also pulled out a sword and said, “Then, I thank you. But, unfortunately, my wife is a jealous woman. So even if you have fallen for me at first sight, I can’t marry you.”
Clang!
Hermione’ s mirror image blocked the incoming blade, but there was a gash on its arm.
It was a mirror image and not her actual physical body. After this slash, the mirror image’s arm faded into nothingness.
However, it still kept up the chase.
“It’s fine. You can divorce your wife. Then, when I become your cultivation partner, I can find a few girls to warm your bed for you. How about it?”
“There’s no need. I already have your underwear with all its natural smell on it! As the saying goes, if the love between two people lasts for a long time, the time they spend apart is still more valuable than the time they spend together between the sheets! I already know what you smell like, Hermione, and that’s enough!”
Clang, Clang, clang!
Three swords shot out again!
Hermione’s face was flushed, and she felt embarrassed and indignant. When she recalled how she had been deceived out of the underwear that she was wearing, she felt ashamed. She was going to be a goddess in the future! But, if this guy had her underwear in his possession and paraded it in front of others, she would be a shameful goddess!
So, this person needed to die!
Squelch!
To protect his daughter, Alex was struck on his right shoulder. Blood flowed freely from the wound. It even splashed onto his daughter’s face.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2135
“F*ck!”
Alex endured the pain and teleported.
“I say, sh*t. You’re seriously cruel!”
“No matter how it is, am I not the man you fell in love with at first sight? How can you be so ruthless toward me?”
As Alex rambled on, he also took out a pill and took it. He felt extremely anxious. This lady’s magic treasure was too powerful, and it was also hidden inside her body, making it impossible to snatch from her with the Chaos Tree. With just a few more slashes from her blades, he and his daughter would be done for.
However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed a figure in front of him had suddenly appeared.
It was a man. Behind the man was the golden cart from the Plenilune Sect.
‘The sect master of Plenilune Sect?’
‘Sh*t!’
Alex thought painfully on the inside. It was one misfortune after another!
One stinking lady was already hard to deal with. Now even the people from the Plenilune Sect had caught up. What was he going to do?
During this crisis, Alex turned subconsciously to protect his daughter, who was still in his arms. His Mystic Armor was exerted to the extreme. The seven golden cores in his body were running at full force, and the Chi that formed from the Ancient Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes flowed out behind him.
Boom!
The sect master hit Alex’s back with his palm. The mighty strength of a master in the ninth realm of Imminent Immortal instantly shattered Alex’s Mystic Armor and even his internal organs. He spat out large mouthfuls of blood immediately.
“Bleurgh!”
Most of his blood ended up on his daughter.
‘I need to run!’
Alex hardened his determination, and relying purely on his willpower, he quickly fled. However, in his current situation, he was trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Not only had the sect master of Plenilune Sect taken action, but the grand elder had also rushed over, and there were also hundreds of Plenilune Sect disciples.
‘D*mn, I’m really such a big shot in their eyes, huh? Persephone’s Folly Bridge, I don’t want you anymore. Go and find your next master, and I hope you don’t die for thousands and thousands of years!’ Alex cursed, then jumped into the swamp.
He once heard from Frostine Usoro that there wasn’t only poison but also some terrifying unknown existences under the Misty Swamp. So, whatever he did, he shouldn’t fall into it. However, it seemed that the only way to survive was to jump into the swamp.
Ba-dump!
Alex wrapped himself and his daughter in his Chi and jumped into the swamp. However, he quickly discovered that the swamp’s poison was terrifying. The contaminated water could melt through his Mystic Armor.
And with it, it could melt his flesh. On the other hand, he could also feel boundless negative emotions crashing into him.
“Ahhhhhh!”
He screamed in pain, then lowered his head to look at his daughter.
As a result, he saw that the poisonous water and negative energy had also fallen onto her body. He felt as though his soul was about to leave his body from the fear that coursed through him, and he hugged her tightly, pouring out more Chi to protect her.
“Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, aren’t you something that goes against the natural order of the world?!”
“Hurry up and show me a miracle! If you’re not extraordinary, what’s the use of having you… Ahhhhh!”
Alex was frantic over his head, and even his anxiety had reached its peak. He was already desperate and begging for any kind of help he could get.
Behind him, countless attacks continue to fall.
Boom, boom!
Whoosh!
Just then, the divinity on Bubbles’ body exploded in a burst of energy and enveloped the both of them.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2136
Whoosh!
A pale green circle of light wrapped itself around Alex and Bubbles, completely keeping the poisonous water outside. No matter how much poisonous water there was, it no longer corroded his flesh.
It was only then Alex felt completely relieved. He hugged his daughter and kissed her fiercely.
“I knew it. My daughter is the best! You love your dad so much!”
“What the heck is Persephone’s Folly Bridge? She can just go to hell!”
Bubbles squinted and giggled.
Then, Alex found himself sinking deeper and deeper. It seemed like there was no bottom to this swamp.
On the land above, once the people saw Alex jumping into the swamp with his daughter and disappearing underneath, they hesitated for a moment, unsure if they should chase after him. It was rumored that the water in the swamp was very poisonous, after all. There was once a huge battle with the Undead Clan that took place here, and it was unknown how many creatures and souls had been buried here.
It really was too dangerous. However, the location of the Phoenix Sect was essential to Plenilune Sect’s sect master.
He was still stuck in the ninth realm to Imminent Immortal, and he couldn’t break through the last step no matter what he did to become a true immortal. If he let Alex go this time, there may not be a chance in the future. He immediately ordered a few disciples, “You guys, chase him down immediately.”
“This…”
The disciples were all afraid and didn’t dare to do it.
The sect master was furious. “You dare to disobey a direct order? What are you afraid of? Can’t you see that that brat and his kid are fine down there? Go!”
With a big wave of his hand, he grabbed a few dozen disciples through the void and threw them down one after another.
Splash, splash!
Immediately after half a dozen disciples fell into the water, mournful screams rang out.
The highly potent poisonous water immediately melted seven or eight disciples. They yelled and struggled a few moments before their voices trailed off, and they sank slowly.
The remaining few rushed out of the swamp desperately. However, they didn’t fare any better. Their skin and flesh had already been melted off to a horrifying extent. Some of them were blinded, and even their noses or ears had fallen off. It was terrifying, and the corrosion continued to eat away at their body. As a result, it was no different than being dead!
When everyone saw this scene, they were scared witless. Be it the sect master of the Plenilune Sect or the grand elder, all of them dispelled the notion of jumping into the swamp.
Only Hermione was a little unwilling to let it go. It was the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, after all.
Even an ancient goddess from ancient times had some things that they coveted.
‘I have the Reflective Eye, as well as the treasure attire that my goddess master has given me. I’m not afraid! I can chase after him. For the sake of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, it’s worth it.’
Thinking of this, Hermione grabbed the Reflective Eye from her mind palace. The mirror whirled around her, and a silver light wrapped around her body before she too jumped into the swamp.
Also, she did all of this at an extremely fast speed. She rushed toward Alex at a rapid speed similar to a sword glare.
“F*ck! Why is this guy so powerful?!”
Alex noticed that Hermione was pursuing him, and he was stunned when he saw her body radiating a silver light. She didn’t look like she was afraid of the poisonous water or negative energy within the swamp.
Even his Mystic Armor had been shattered in seconds here!
If it weren’t for the natural divinity in his daughter’s body, it was hard to say how he would have ended up now. And now, Hermione was rushing towards him like this with the Reflective Eye whirling around her body.
A fiery fire surged through his heart at the sight.
Holy sh*t, this really was a magic treasure that made people jealous.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2137
Whoosh!
Hermione Yggdrasil swung her sword. It shot directly at Alex.
The speed it traveled at was not any slower than when it was on land.
“F*ck, she just won’t give up!” Alex spat, then teleported to dodge the blow.
A few seconds later, he realized that the Reflective Eye couldn’t produce her mirror images if it were to protect her. But, as Hermione was alone, Alex was not afraid of her.
‘I need to grab that magic treasure!’
Once Alex made up his mind, he stopped in his tracks immediately. Then, he secretly set up barriers and formations under the swamp. Hermione was also a little surprised because Alex had been sinking downward with his daughter before this, but now he had actually stopped and drawn a circle here. She watched as he pinched his fingers together, pointing east or west occasionally. She didn’t know what the hell he was doing.
But what surprised her the most was the green light that was emitting from Bubbles’ body. It seemed to give her a feeling of panic in her heart, so it was definitely a rare thing.
“Hey, brat. You’re almost at your end. If you go further down, there won’t be anywhere else to go!” Hermione said through telepathy.
“Are you really willing to bring your daughter to death with you? I’ve never seen a father like you, ever.”
Alex paused.
A strange smile bloomed across his face. “I don’t intend to run anymore. The one who should be considering whether you should run or not should be you! How about this, let’s make a deal. Hand over the mirror in your body, and I’ll let you go.”
Hermione roared with laughter. “Where did this confidence come from that you dare to threaten me?”
Alex smiled and snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed. Hermione’s face was twisted. “A barrier!”
Alex took a step back “That’s right. But, I’ve also added some other things, which can be considered your reward for getting the right answer.”
After he was finished speaking, he roared, “Divine Power, Infernal Prison, rise!”
Countless ancient runes that gleamed with golden light burst out in the next second, lighting up the sky like stars and filling the air with a solemn and ancient aura. Hermione had a feeling that something was not right and immediately rose to flee.
However, it was too late.
The golden runes linked together, resembling golden chains, and rushed toward Hermione. It quickly wrapped around her feet and locked itself. Then, three more similar chains flew toward her, binding her both hands and remaining leg.
At this point, Hermione had been trapped tightly by the chains that had been formed from the ancient runes. But, unfortunately, there was also a prison made of runes surrounding her, and words emerged on her body, freezing her on the spot. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free.
Hermione screamed and yelled, but she had never dabbled in formations, and it was one of her shortcomings. Alex had also pushed in a large amount of divine power to recreate a simpler version of Infernal Hell, Infernal Prison, and it was even more challenging to crack.
“Ahhhhhh!”
“Let me go! Fight me one on one if you have the ability!” Hermione shrieked.
Alex laughed and stepped closer to her. “Go on and scream. In this kind of place, even if you scream till you lose your voice, it’s useless.”
Even though he was standing less than half a meter in front of her, she couldn’t attack him at all. Instead, the ancient rune chains that locked her in place gave off a feeling like it was trying to pull her body apart.
The silver gloss that covered her body was extremely dense. It made her look like a futuristic robot.
Alex reached out with his hand to touch Hermione’s face. When it made contact, it felt like touching the skin of a real person. It was smooth, and there was a sense of elasticity.
Hermione felt goosebumps all over her. “Ah, what the hell are you doing? Let go, let me go!”
Alex’s sadistic humor increased, and he gently slid his finger down her face. It slid over her chin, neck, collarbone and finally came to her chest He said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to be my cultivation partner? I can give you a demonstration of that. How about that?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2138
Hermione watched as Alex’s fingers were about to touch her private parts. She shuddered and clenched her jaw as her entire body trembled. However, she was powerless to do anything.
The four rune chains that bound her were too tight, and she couldn’t even move an inch. Moreover, the large words in front of her made her feel a sense of shame. Some parts of her body twitched because of the tension she felt.
“Are you nervous? Didn’t you say you wanted to be my cultivation partner? Was everything you said false?”
Alex’s hand dropped without hesitation, grabbing hard.
Hermione felt her heart miss a few beats before looking fiercely at Alex. But, a smile soon stretched across her face again, and she said, “You’re overly suspicious. I will be a goddess in the future, and I will naturally commit to the words that I’ve said. I’ve said that I want to be your cultivation partner, so I will be. Feel free to touch all you want… In fact, you don’t have to tie me up like this. You can let me go, and we can consummate it here right now.”
In actuality, she was extremely nervous!
She was a future goddess. How could she be ruined by a man like this?! She was faultless and incorruptible. How could she lose her virginity like this?
The one who married her must be the son of a god or at least someone who had the rank of an emperor or higher.
B*stard, she would tear him to pieces once she was free!
Alex smiled. It was a despicable smile.
“Actually, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not interested in your body at all!”
How could Alex do such a barbaric thing in front of his daughter?
Hermione was taken aback. “Then, what is the meaning of this?!”
Alex laughed darkly and his Chidartedy. The Chaos Tree in his mind palace stretched out its roots and dived into Hermione’s body, winding around the Reflective Eye that was inside her.
Who was the one who told Hermione to put it in her heart? It was her fault.
That was why Alex needed to place his hand on this position!
“You…You… !”
The shock that Hermione felt was finally obvious. “What the hell are you? How could you… How did you find the Reflective Eye in my body?!”
Although she had hidden it in her heart, it wasn’t really inside her heart. It was more of being at the center point of something, its existence similar to her mind palace. In other words, it was something like a two dimensional space. It was supposed to be a location that only she could access!
“Is it that hard to find?” Alex asked.
The roots of the Chaos Tree tugged at it viciously. It forcefully tore the Reflective Eye from where it was in Hermione’s heart.
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
Hermione screamed from the excruciating pain, trembling from head to toe.
By the time Alex had wholly removed the mirror from her and held it in his hand, he could feel that the mirror seemed to have self-consciousness and wanted to fly out from his hands. However, the roots of the Chaos Tree were wrapped around it, and it failed to escape in the end.
Whoosh!
The roots retracted immediately after, taking with it the Reflective Eye, and they both returned to Alex’s mind palace.
Soon, the Reflective Eye hung on the Chaos Tree. The grey Chaos Chi energy swirled around it, and the soul imprint that was on the mirror disappeared without a trace.
“Bleurgh!”
Hermione spat a mouthful of blood violently. The silver luster that had surrounded her body faded quietly.
She knew that she had completely lost the Reflective Eye, as she could no longer feel its existence within her. Even the soul imprint that she had placed on it had been cut.
Hermione shot Alex a hateful, bitter glare, her expression was hysterical.
“Alex, I will remember you!”
“One day, I, Hermione Yggdrasil, will come to kill you!” She hollered as her body got brighter and brighter.
Alex frowned, then moved to slash her with his sword.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2139
However, it seemed as though another woman had appeared on her body. It was an illusion and a very bright one. It wrapped tightly around her, and when the Dragon Bone sword came down upon her, the spoi where it landed burst out into sparks, and it didn’t feel like the blade cut anything.
Also, the formation for the Infernal Prison that he had made was easily broken by the illusion.
“That figure… Why does it feel a little familiar?”
Just as Alex was feeling that way, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. When he managed to see clearly, it turned out to be a huge monster that lived under the swamp. But, unfortunately, from where he was standing, he couldn’t see the entire monster.
He could only see its mouth. The monster opened its mouth, and it looked like a huge black hole.
Just the diameter of the mouth itself could reach about 100 meters. It was also very, very fast.
“Awooooo!”
It lunged directly at Alex, Hermione, as well as Bubbles, swallowing them all together.
“Sh*t…”
Alex was baffled, and Hermione reacted similarly.
The light on her body didn’t extinguish and instead became brighter. The energy grew stronger, bleeding into reality, and Hermione seemed to be shrouded within the bright light. It seemed as though she was influenced by it, and her consciousness gradually blurred, and she cried out, “Master, save me!”
Then, she fainted.
Alex could feel that he and his daughter were really in the belly of the monster. However, the inside of the belly really was huge, and it gave him the feeling of floating in the sea. It was dark all around them, filled with strange, disgusting smells. Also, the monster was moving.
However, Alex’s main concern right now was Hermione.
‘Master? That illusion on her, it’s Hermione’s master?!’
In the next second, the illusion became more evident, and Alex found the figure more familiar than ever. He knew this person… It was a woman, the most beautiful he had ever seen. But, why couldn’t he remember, no matter how hard he tried?
“Ah!”
Alex’s head hurt!
He had a feeling that the phantom woman in front of him had some sort of connection with him, and it was a significant one. One that… Surpassed even life itself.
If Claire Assex, Beatrice Assex and the others were here, they would be able to recognize this person at a glance. So the illusionary figure was the person they had been thinking and missing all along was Dorothy Assex!
The mother of Alex’s four children.
“Ahhhh! Why can’t I remember? Why?! Who are you? Who are you! Speak!”
Alex yelled frantically, knocking his head harshly with his hand. His head and cardiac acupoint trembled in pain.
Just at this moment, a stream of willpower shot out of his cardiac acupoint. Then, like a bolt of blazing lightning, it rushed toward Hermione, or rather, the phantom on her, connecting Alex and the phantom.
It hurt! It hurt so much. It felt like his chest was about to burst open!
The divinity in Bubbles’ body released a gentle light and shone on Alex.
“D-Do… Dorothy!”
Alex shivered as he spoke the name.
Before this, Xienna had severed the karma between them. The memory fragments that he had been forced to forget started to emerge little by little. It washed over him like a tide, and he remembered everything.
That was his wife, the mother of his quadruplets!
She… Was actually Hermione Yggdrasil’s master!
No, that wasn’t right. That was Xienna. It was Xienna who had taken Hermione in as her disciple.
At the same time, because of the link between their souls, Dorothy’s phantom seemed to react. She looked like an illusionary phantom moments ago, but her figure became more apparent as time passed. Finally, she fixed her gaze upon Alex. “It’s you?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2140
“Why is it you?!”
That voice, that tone, it was not Dorothy Assex’s, but that d*mned reincarnated woman who occupied Dorothy’s body. The same one that said that Alex was not worthy of her.
“I didn’t expect that you would still remember her. That’s very surprising.”
Previously, it didn’t look like Xienna’s illusionary phantom felt emotions to have the ability to react, as though it was just some last resort to save Hermione that Xienna had left on her. But now, she could speak and feel.
This woman’s strength was really unfathomable.
Alex remembered what Hermione had said before, that the new master she was under was a living goddess… So adding that Xienna had used the Reincarnation Stone to be reincarnated, it was likely that Xienna really was a goddess.
Alex looked at her. “That‘s right. I didn’t expect to meet you here either. So… Have you found the person you were looking for?”
Xienna shook her head, a deep sorrow appearing on her semi-realistic face. “There have been many changes in the world over three thousand years, and I have been unable to accept them yet fully. There is no Undead Clan now, and you should have already seen that the great world of America is long gone. Even the Phoenix Sect, which had sat at the peak of all, has become nothing but an empty city. I don’t even know where Uncle Rowan and his family have gone.”
“Uncle Rowan? Who’s that?”
“The headteacher in the Phoenix Sect, and also the co-master of the three thousand worlds… Forget it. You wouldn’t understand even if I explained it. It was something that happened in ancient times, probably about ten thousand years ago. I was reincarnated after ten thousand years have passed. There must be some grave problems in the reincarnation pool.”
When Alex heard all that Xienna had said, he was astonished.
In ancient times, the co-master of the three thousand worlds was Xienna’s uncle. As expected, this woman came from a terrifying background. No wonder she so quickly said things like how he was not worthy of her… It looked like the number of people that could be worthy of her in the entire great world of America could be counted on one hand!
What kind of person was she looking for? What kind of existence was it?!
Then, Xienna looked at Bubbles, who was in Alex’s arms. Shock appeared on her face in the next second. “This child… Where did she come from?”
“She’s my eldest daughter.”
“Your daughter? She has started to collect divinity at such a young age?” Xienna was stunned, and at the same time, an unfavorable feeling started to well up within her inexplicably.
She had given birth to four children after she had reincarnated, but none of them had defied the natural orders of law and started to gather and condense divinity after they were born.
And this child was filled with natural divinity. She suddenly thought of a person.
‘D*mn, could this girl be her reincarnation?’
‘This.. This is starting to get kind of fun.’
Xienna glanced at Alex and seemed to have thought of something strange as she chuckled. However, at the same time, her figure flickered, and she hurriedly said, “I’m currently just a projection, and my powers are limited here. This girl has some connection to me, so I took her in as my disciple. Unfortunately, my projection manifested on her, so I can only take her away. This place is very strange. Be extra diligent and careful.”
Having said that, she pointed at Alex.
A stream of divine power splashed on him. “I can only help you so much. By the way, if you have the chance, help me keep an eye out for a person called Blaze Rowan. This person should be born with fire attributes.”
“Blaze Rowan, a natural ability to play with fire?”
Alex was stunned. The adopted son of his master, Jade Benmore, was called Blaze, and he had natural powers of fire. So the person that Xienna had put in so much effort to find after her reincarnation couldn’t be that snotty kid, right?
If that was true, then destiny truly was making a fool out of them all.
“Hey, I know someone like that, as in, the person you just described. He’s…”
Alex tried to tell her, but Xienna’s projection had already started to flicker.
It was probably the limit of what the projection could do. After she initiated the rescue process, she could no longer sense the happenings of the situation here, so she didn’t hear what Alex had said. Instead, she turned into a white light and enveloped Hermione, disappearing with a ‘whoosh’.
