The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2161

At the same time, Alex noticed that the other Naga tribe members seemed relaxed. The same was true for the high priestess.

He was speechless.

The high priestess said with a smile, “Lord Saint, the Undying Clan members coming over this time look a little bigger, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. They are just like a herd of cattle. Our people are ready to fight anytime. I think it won’t be a problem to defeat them in one fell swoop.”

Alex almost started sweating. They even wanted to defeat those things in one fell swoop!

It would be true that those things would defeat them in one fell swoop.

“High Priestess, this is beyond our abilities. I’ve seen these things in the Undying Clan’s territory. We’re incapable of defeating them at all. Retreat right now! Abandon the village and leave!” Alex shouted.

The leader, Shado, was reluctant. “Alex, I don’t think we need to escape!”

Alex answered peevishly, “If you don’t die after receiving a sword’s slash from me, I’ll agree to let you kill the enemies here.”

Then, he flicked ten or so fingerprints at the location of the spell formation. After completion, he turned around and left.

“This spell formation can last three minutes at most. I’ll leave if you guys don’t want to leave!”

He sidestepped to Lena’s side and took away Bubbles from her.

Lena immediately shouted, “Everyone, heed Lord Saint’s words. Whoever refuses to listen to his words will be history! Shado, since Lord Saint said we’re incapable of defeating the enemies. It must be Lord Saint’s decision after thorough consideration. You mustn’t question him. Everyone, listen. Leave right now.”

The next moment, everyone quickly retreated.

“Where are we going?” asked the high priestess.

“Lord Saint wants to go to the end of the Dead Zone, so we have to go through the Ancient Long River Passage,” replied Lena. “But it won’t be easy even if we take the Long River Passage. There are countless sea demon beasts that the Undying Clan has left behind. It will be hard to get past them with just us, so we need to gather as many tribe members as possible… I have sent the distress signals to multiple places earlier. The tribe under Nyx Trigleph’s lead is the strongest combat force in this area. Perhaps they’re already on the way in a hurry. Let’s go there.”

“Alright!”

During the conversation, a deafening sound came from the spell formation.

Beams of golden lights and holy marks rose. The Mighty Sky Dragon appeared again.

The Undying Clan had bumped into the spell formation.

However, this time, the spell formation’s power was not as powerful as before without Alex’s main support. In addition, Alex called this race the Undying Iron Bulls.

Not only were they invulnerable to normal attacks, but even if they were killed, they could revive infinite times as long as their hearts were still alive.

Indeed, all these only emphasized the word ‘undying’.

Whoosh!

The Naga tribe members had long rushed out like lightning.

The Naga tribe was also known as the Sea King tribe. They were the kings of the sea as they were the fastest creatures in the seaworld… Meanwhile, Alex was not slow either. He had gained Crazy Crone’s technique, Instant Teleportation. Even if he was in the sea, he could also teleport rapidly. But, he realized a problem, if he used the Instant Teleportation continuously in the seawater, the space fluctuations in the water ripples would affect Bubbles.

He had no choice but to stop.

Meanwhile, Lena rushed over and held Alex and Bubbles in her arms. She had four arms.

Moreover, her main body in the sea was much taller than a normal one. A thunderous explosion rang out as she slapped the seawater with. her thick tail. Then, she shot out like a torpedo. But in fact, she was more than ten times faster than a torpedo.

It was completely invisible to the naked eye of the ordinary.

At this time, Lena whispered in Alex’s ear, “Lord… Alex, starting from here, there are still two full months before we pass through the Ancient Long River Passage. And, our Naga tribe members get pregnant very fast. If you’re ready, you can come to me anytime… I’m still a virgin. I know you humans pay more attention to this.”

“My spell formation still can block them for a while. Now…”

 

 

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2162

“A virgin?”

Alex stared blankly at Lena. “Aren’t you already a grandma? Even your granddaughter is three centuries old. How can you still be a… Virgin?”

Lena rolled her eyes. “Who says I can’t be a virgin if I’m a grandma? Shado’s mother is my foster daughter.”

Alone, she held Alex and Bubbles in each of her arms steadily. Lena’s body, however, was quite voluptuous.

Being held by her, Alex felt that he had been trapped in the expanse of tender embrace. The soft and delicate sensation could make his heart skip a beat After a while in the tense and embarrassing atmosphere,

Alex’s psyche improved as well. He simply freed his mind and accepted the circumstances with goodwill. As for putting his seeds in Lena’s body… There was no hurry for that. He would only do so if he had no other usable strategy in the future.

Let alone words like unswerving allegiance in love, Alex had long been without a dedicated love.

***

In Nine Heavens Tribe, the situation was not as great as Lena had imagined.

The leader, Nyx Trigleph, had lost two of his four arms and suffered a full body of injuries. The tribe’s combat unit had suffered heavy losses as well. It was initially a large tribe with a total of five thousand people, but they had lost two-thirds of the tribe members after fighting against the Undying Clan for less than half an hour.

The remaining tribe members were shocked to the core. They had completely lost the courage to fight. Then, they ran for their lives in all directions under the lead of several minor leaders of the tribe.

Hence, when Alex, Lena, and the others reached the tribe, they noticed this place had long become the sea of the Undying Clan after instantly conquering the Nine Heavens Tribe and destroying all their buildings… Oh, the Undying Clan wasn’t responsible for the damaged buildings. They were merely destroyed in the overwhelming cataclysm, just like Lena’s small village.

“We can no longer go over there!”

“Look ahead. It has completely become the Undying Clan’s territory. We need to discuss it a bit. What should be the next step?”

Alex stopped the Naga tribe members who were following him.

The others may not be able to see the situation ahead, but Alex was well aware. His paper doll puppet was now next to an Undying Clan member’s feet, watching it quietly! However, none of the Undying Clan members noticed its existence… Jumping out of the three realms without being listed in the five elements, in fact, the Paper Doll Curse of Three Realms was quite omnipotent. Hermione Yggdrasill had only managed to restrain him because he encountered something like the Reflective Eye.

At this moment, Alex could clearly see the hair on the Undying Clan member through the paper doll, but it failed to detect the paper doll’s existence at all. Meanwhile, Alex saw the large scale of the densely-packed Undying Clan. They were so crowded the ground could not contain all of them.

What was even more bizarre was that although the Undying Clan stood there motionless, streams of chilly aura emanated from them. Even every Undying Clan member seemed to be bleeding silently… That was a kind of dark red blood that emanated an incomparably chilly yet bloody aura.

The blood flowed on the ground, converging to a certain place as if countless small trickles were on the ground.

This was too bizarre.

Alex had never seen such a scene, but he just felt creeped out. Moreover, there was a feeling of extreme danger that made him extremely uneasy.

‘What are they doing?’

‘I have an ominous foreboding!’

Alex silently moved the paper doll and forward. Following the converged blood trickles on the ground, Alex saw the blood flowing to the final place, it was under a tree.

There were more than one hundred thousand Undying Clan members, each of them as enormous as an elephant. But Alex had never seen this species before. Even if he was in the Undying Clan’s territory, he had never seen such a thing… One could imagine how much blood was contained in such an enormous species. They almost covered the entire ground of the Nine Heavens Tribe.

Bloodlust soared into the sky.

Then, the problems came. When the paper doll was a kilometer away from approaching the tree, he suddenly felt a frigid and fiendish murderous intent. Then, Alex felt as if his mind had been stabbed in that instant Afterward, his connection with the paper doll was forcibly severed.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2163

Even he could feel a gush of immortal will seemingly trying to force its way into his mind through his connection with the paper doll. However, the ninety nine golden cores in his body shook violently at that time, causing the ancient forbidden spell’s energy to envelop the immortal will. Then, it forced the immortal will out of his body.

The ancient forbidden spell had helped him.

However, at that moment, he heard a voice, a very familiar voice…

“Alex Rockefeller, is that you?”

Alex knew the voice well.

It was Cheryl Coney’s voice.

‘Why would I hear Cheryl’s voice here?’

Could I have hysteria because of love-sickness?’

“Cheryl, Cheryl…”

“It’s me, Alex… You’re still alive… You… Really… Gulp, gurgle!”

This was the final voice.

Then, Cheryl’s voice was as if it had bubbled for a while and disappeared after some kind of object had swallowed her in the water.

‘F*ck!’

‘It’s real. It’s really Cheryl… What’s going on? How could she sense me?’

‘Has she come over this side too?’

However, he felt that was impossible after pondering for a while.

Cheryl’s cultivation base was weak. Even if her physique and cultivation base had gained significant growth after she had tested the poison with her body during the antidote search that time, it was literally impossible to cross the boundless sea that separated this side and the world of America. Therefore… The root of all this was inside the immortal will.

He abruptly remembered something.

When Cheryl tested the poison with her body back then, she once said that she seemed to have seen a woman… Through the woman’s view, she had seen something else that made her feel particularly amazed… At that time, Alex told her that it might be a fragment of memory stored inside the source blood.

However, he did not think so right now. He felt that some changes might have occurred in Cheryl’s body, causing her to have some sort of strange connection between her and the source blood’s owner.

“Lord Saint, Lord Saint… How are you?”

“Lord Saint, are you alright? Why did you shout ‘Cheryl’ all of a sudden? Who’s Cheryl?”

The entire Naga tribe asked him anxiously.

At first, some villagers did not take Alex’s appearance in the village seriously, and some even thought that he could not possibly be the candidate of the Lord Saint.

How could such a young man be the Lord Saint? The Naga tribe was not that easy to deceive.

However, Alex had displayed peerless strength not only when he was helping them to lift their curses but also in battles. This had gained those people’s unanimous approval… Only he deserved to be the candidate of the Lord Saint.

Alex looked a little anxious.

After coming here, what worried him the most was the situation in America.

It would be great if he could contact Cheryl for real.

“Don’t worry. I’m alright!”

“But, the Undying Clan has conquered the area ahead. They seem to be performing some ancient and bizarre rituals. I’m going to head over to take a look. Lena, help me take care of my child and wait here. Don’t let anyone come over for help.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2164

The high priestess and the others were a bit worried. The Lord Saint was their Naga tribe’s sole hope now. What should they do if something unexpected were to occur, causing him to die young? Hence, those people’s current thoughts were that they had to guarantee Alex’s absolute safety even if he did nothing but help them lift their curses.

Furthermore, there was also the entrustment from the great Genbu now.

“Lord Saint, you mustn’t simply take risks!”

“That’s right. Lord Saint, if you have anything you want to know, just leave it to our Naga tribe members.”

“Your safety is of utmost importance!”

Once the high priestess and the astrologist were anxious, even kneeling before Alex.

Alex looked at these people and said, “You guys know the True Martial Sovereign is also the great Genbu. So why did you ask me to go to the end of the Dead Zone?”

“Aren’t we going to send an item to save Nirvana?” Shado asked.

Alex pouted as he said, “Did you hear the main point of my words just now? Why… Did you ask me to go there? If it’s just to send something over, wouldn’t your village chief be more suitable?”

The crowd thought about the reason for a while.

“Lord Saint, why exactly then?” a Naga warrior asked.

“It’s because I’m the only one who can send it there!”

“… I don’t understand! Lord Saint, isn’t the village chief the only one who can cross the end of the Dead Zone?” someone asked. “By the way, if Lord Saint wants to borrow the village chief’s bloodline talent to negate the negative coercion from the Dead Zone, you need to have intercourse with the village chief! Chief, you have to act faster for the sake of Lord Saint’s safety!”

Lena blushed. “I can do it anytime as long as Lord Saint has made a decision. We can do it now if you wish.”

“Definitely not now,” Alex replied. “Currently, the Undying Clan ahead is performing a sacrifice. All the Undying Clan members are bleeding, their blood flowing toward a large bizarre tree. The huge eerie tree is pitch-black, and its trunk is covered with lumps. By the way, it can also bloom some kind of flower… Like colorful mushrooms. Do you guys know what kind of tree is that?”

“Could it be the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld?!” Lena exclaimed.

“What tree?”

Alex was taken aback for a moment.

“This happens to be information my ancestors passed down,” Lena repeated. “In fact, this Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld is not a tree, but a monster from the Undying Clan. Rumor has it that it has inseparable ties with the king of the Undying Clan! This kind of strange tree can devour normal continents and then convert them into Netherearth. Netherearth is a suitable environment for the survival of the Undying Clan.”

Alex asked, “Does this mean the Undying Clan can’t survive in our world well?”

“That’s right. The Undying Clan requires a kind of deadly Chi for survival. The Undying Clan will be more powerful in places with more deadly Chi, but those places with abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth will harm their bodies. On the contrary, deadly Chi will be constantly released in the area under the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld’s coverage. And, deadly Chi will inflict lethal damage to ordinary humans and any species living within the area.”

“So powerful?”

The group of people fell silent and looked in the direction of the Nine Heavens Tribe.

Even if they did not have Alex’s paper dolls for scouting, they could already feel an overwhelming bout of evil Chi over there, despite being a distance of one kilometer.

But no matter what, Alex thought that since Cheryl could find his presence through the stream of aura in that instant, he had to go over there to take a look “Now that the Undying Clan members are performing the sacrifice, they aren’t moving. This place should still be safe. I’ll come back after taking a look,” Alex said.

This time, he no longer sought anyone’s consent, but his figure instantly flashed and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he had entered the Nine Heavens Tribe.

At first, he wanted to approach the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld right away. However, he noticed that a layer of energy was surrounding the tree.

The energy contained endless negativity.

This had to be the so-called deadly Chi, right?

He took a small breath of it. It was much better than the red air that he had breathed inside the Undying Clan’s territory.

That was the real deadly Chi.

The rippling golden lake of his divine power immediately refined the deadly Chi that just invaded his body’s meridians, converting it into a small amount of divine power.

Soon…

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2165

He moved a little closer.

Without the paper doll’s vision this time, he could see the Undying Clan members who were offering their blood with his own eyes.

At first, Alex was a little worried that he would be discovered. But soon, he noticed a problem with species performing the sacrifice.

They had no reaction at all. Blood was still flowing, yet he could no longer sense any living aura from them.

They were dead!

Or rather, this kind of sacrifice to the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld required a living sacrifice.

How evil!

Alex gently pushed an Undying Clan member. Its body that was kneeling on the ground suddenly fell, but it was in a bizarre posture. Although it had fallen to the ground, half of its bottom was still glued firmly to the ground.

“Are they all dead?”

All of a sudden, a voice rang in Alex’s ears. When he turned around, he saw Shado.

“Why did you come here?” Alex was slightly startled and frowned.

“I… I just came here to take a look. You don’t mind, do you?” Clearly, Shado’s grinning look indicated that she was a restless person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have found Alex in great Genbu’s stomach and bring him back.”

“As long as you’re not afraid of death, what else can I say? Life is yours.”

Shado shrugged. “What am I afraid of? Isn’t it the same as the survival of the Naga tribe? Anyway, we won’t be able to die a natural death… Oh, wrong. Now that you’ve appeared, you can help us to lift the curses. We shouldn’t be able to turn into stone people from the curse manifesting. But, the great Genbu won’t hold out any longer. We will die faster instead, but I’m not afraid!”

“Then what are you afraid of?”

“I… What I’m afraid the most is boredom.”

As she said that, she slapped an Undying Clan member with her palm. As a result, the Undying suddenly shattered with a clang like porcelain. However, a chunk of something remained in the body.

“Oh my, what kind of species is this? Why is it so bizarre?” Shado immediately screamed after taking a closer look.

She only saw a small sapling remaining in the shattered body after it had turned into a pile of slag on the ground. The sapling was bloody and full of evil energy, with an appearance just like the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld.

“This is the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld,” Alex solemnly said.

As he said so, he violently slapped the Undying Clan member next to him with his palm. Similarly, there was a small Earth-devouring Tree inside it after shattering.

“This one has it too!”

“This one also has it… This one has it too… Alex, all of these Undying Clan members have turned into trees after death. This… is too bizarre. I’ve never heard of such a thing, but I wonder if my grandma knows about it?” Shado said as she looked at Alex, probably implying that she needed to head back to ask her grandmother.

Just as Alex was about to speak, a tree root abruptly emerged from the ground, wrapping around Shado.

“Ahh! Alex, save me!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2166

“Save me! I can’t break loose!”

“This tree root is too powerful! It… It’s going to get into my body!”

Shado yelled with a voice full of panic. Although she said she wasn’t afraid of death, she would inevitably be fearful and call for help normally when encountering such a bizarre incident.

Alex dared not delay, so he immediately took out the Seven Blades of Death and severed the tree root with a slash.

Poof!

A gush of blood spurted out of the broken end, splashing all over Shado’s head and face. There was a very pungent and putrid odor, a stench so foul that Shado barfed on the spot.

Not only did the roots wrapping around her body not loosen, but they entangled her even tighter as if trying to strangle her to death. Shado couldn’t even breathe.

“Alex…”

“Don’t panic, there are roots down there!” Alex yelled.

Then, he took out another three swords and slashed at Shado’s body randomly with all the swords.

Poof! Poof!

Countless roots had been severed.

Streams of blood came out of the ground. It was a sight that would instantly creep anyone out. There was even the sound of a baby crying… Hence, the family rumor that Lena had mentioned was real. This was not a tree, but a demonic creature that looked like a tree, a species of the Undying Clan.

“There are so many! There are so many!”

“Then I’ll sever all of you and burn you to death with fire!”

Alex used the Thousand Sword Tactics. Then, thundering flames continuously rained down from the sky, burning the countless Undying Clan members that had transformed into the demon trees till they started screaming horribly over and over.

The sound had forcibly turned into a baby’s cry. What was it like to hear thousands of babies bawling and screaming horribly together?

It would make one’s blood run cold.

Boom!

The thundering flames, together with the thunderous might, descended from the sky. This was followed closely by ghastly cries.

The parent body of the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld probably felt the pain from afar, thus letting out an earth- shattering roar. After all, a chopped finger would be so painful that one would pass out. Since this parent body of the Earth- devouring Tree of Netherworld had connected to so many Undying Clan members, it was equivalent to having them turned into its own. Then, by relying on these external forces, it would devour the land and change the environment of this place.

Roar!

Following a furious roar, a thick tree root emerged from the ground and soared into the sky. Then, it slammed down onto Alex ferociously.

“D*mn, it’s really huge!”

Standing, Alex looked up to take a look. The next second, he abruptly picked up Shado and teleported to the side instantaneously before the tree root as huge as a house hit him.

Boom!

As the tree root fell, the ground shook tremendously.

The overbearing root ruthlessly apart tore the vast land of Nine Heavens Tribe apart as though a whip had struck from Heaven. Since the whip missed him, the tree roots emerged continuously.

“Alex, be careful! There are roots on the left! There are roots on the right too… So many! So many roots have appeared! Ah! There… There are nine of them!”

Shado, who was in Alex’s arms, was facing the sky and just happened to see the nine enormous tree roots above her. The entwined roots had countless tinier roots that intertwined with each other, forming an inescapable net so that there was nowhere to escape.

Her face turned pale in utter horror.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2167

She watched on in horror as they fell.

“Ahh!”

Following her screams, a hundred or so divine swords suddenly rushed out of Alex’s body. This was the sword gourd that Alex had snatched from the hands of the Plenilune Sect’s Elder, Quint, but it had now become his magical treasure.

A hundred or so swords surrounding Alex’s body spun rapidly and formed an invincible shield. It was equivalent to a huge meat grinder!

As soon as the tree roots fell, they were ruthlessly ground into pieces, with blood Spurting all over the sky. Countless broken blocks of tree roots from the grind fell like rain. This was the true form of hell-ghastly cries and Yin energy filled the air, and one could see blood all over the place after opening their eyes.

Not far away from Nine Heavens Tribe, a few Naga tribe members approached silently.

The Undying Clan had driven out these few people from the Nine Heavens Tribe. When they heard a huge commotion, they silently came over, only to witness an unforgettable scene-thunder filling the sky, with the descent of the heavenly fire and the overwhelming tree roots of the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld. Each possessed a great fear.

“I recognize that woman! She seems to be Lena Rivers’ granddaughter, Shado Rivers!”

“Yes, I recognize her too, but who’s that man? His strength is terrifying. Could he be Shado Rivers’ husband?”

“Maybe. This woman is no longer young. If she doesn’t find a man, she won’t be able to conceive children…”

A spirited discussion broke out while they hid in the dark. Eventually, someone got to the point and said, “Didn’t you say Lena Rivers has found the Lord Saint? Could that man be the Lord Saint?”

Unfortunately, the people next to him refused to believe it. “What Lord Saint? Only idiots will do such a thing as finding a master for no reason. Leader has already said that the Lord Saint is just a lie Lena Rivers spat when she was at wit’s end. Her purpose was to have our Nine Heavens Tribe become cannon fodder.”

“How do you explain this man then? I see he’s indeed not one of our Naga tribe.”

“This…”

Just as the few people were discussing in a low voice, a few Naga experts approached silently and restrained them at once.

The people who came over were the high priestess and several other experts.

Although Alex had asked them not to approach him, they were worried about his safety in the end. Even if they had to sneak around, they had to go over to observe the situation. Once the situation had gone out of control, they would immediately move to save him…

But after seeing that kind of battle scene, the few people quieted down. Unexpectedly, they later discovered a few Naga tribe members appearing stealthily.

“People from the Nine Heavens Tribe?” The high priestess held the weapon in hand by a man’s neck.

“Ah! Yes, yes!” the startled man quickly confessed.

“Where’s your leader, Nyx Trigleph? Where did he go?” the high priestess demanded. “The tribe has become like this now. However, not all of them are dead, right?”

That man sighed. “Are they not? The Undying Clan suddenly rushed into our tribe last night, followed by a great battle of eradication. There were a great number of opponents, so our people were powerless to fightback at all. At least half of the people have died in the confrontation, whereas the remaining people have fled. But there are only a few survivors.”

The high priestess asked strangely, “We have sent the Aqua Mail to you guys previously. It clearly states that the Lord Saint had descended just at the time of the great Genbu’s injury and it’s the invasion stage of the Undying Clan, so we asked all of your tribe to come to our village for reinforcement. If you guys had rushed over right after receiving the message, you guys would not have died like this… Great! Other than a few insignificant minions, the entire tribe is gone and has even become the Undying Clan’s territory! You guys are simply amazing!”

A man from the Nine Heavens Tribe asked, “Boss Trigleph did not believe the Lord Saint’s advent at all. Is that really the Lord Saint?”

The high priestess pointed to the battle scene. Then, he was dumbfounded.

He only saw the thousands of tree roots from the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld, emerging from the ground and sweeping toward Alex like a tidal wave…

Darkness fell with the drastic change in the environment. As Alex stomped his foot violently, a golden body of Vajra Phantasm rose up gradually. The purifying Buddhist hymn sounded like the bell chimes of heaven and earth.

“If you guys think that he’s not the Lord Saint, who then could still be Lord Saint?” asked the high priestess.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2168

At this moment, all the Naga tribe members present were dumbfounded and trembling. It wasn’t out of fear but excitement.

The Naga tribe had lived in Nirvana for over three thousand years. In fact, they had been living without any promising prospects. To put it bluntly, they were cleaners in captivity of the great Genbu.

The great Genbu had been cursed, so it required some people to remove those curse-induced discomforts. In fact, the afflictions were from the undead demon beast on the battlefield ahead.

Wasn’t it marvelous?

The Naga tribe had been killing the undead demon beasts for thousands of years, but in fact, they were the germs that appeared in the great Genbu’s body after he was cursed. As a result, the Naga tribe’s men had basically been killing the enemies out there.

Not only had these microbes not been eradicated, but they had become increasingly powerful to the point that the Naga could no longer beat them. This was also the reason the great Genbu’s body had been getting weaker.

It was until this moment that Nirvana’s force field was broken.

The real Undying Clan rushed in.

It was still fine for Lena and her people in the village.

Alex had participated in the battle since the beginning, so the victory of the battle had shifted to the Naga tribe. But it was a fatal nightmare for the people of the Nine Heavens Tribe. Once they recalled the scene, they would shudder in fear. It was the kind of fear and powerlessness that crept from the depths of the soul.

“Perhaps, he’s really our final hope!” a Naga from the Nine Heavens Tribe said.

Just then, Alex, who was holding Shado in his arms, rushed out with a spatial Instant Teleportation and threw her into the water outside.

Then, instantly, he rushed back again. His provocation had completely enraged the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld.

The huge trunk roared to the sky… Wasn’t this description a bit ridiculous?

That, however, was the sense of tableau. Not only did it roar to the sky, but it even rose from the ground and jumped out of its original position, running toward Alex. The entire land shook violently with countless cracks on the ground, and a great amount of deadly Chi swept toward Alex, enveloping him.

“Who are you?”

“You’re human?!”

A face unexpectedly appeared on the demon tree’s trunk. It looked a bit like a woman’s face.

“I sense an old friend’s aura on you. Could it be that you’re his disciple?”

Almost everyone in the Nine Heavens Tribe could hear the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld’s rumbling voice.

Alex looked at this tree with a peculiar appearance, especially when he realized that face even had a flavor of psychedelia.

“And who are you? You’re a tree, yet you dare call yourself ‘I’?” Alex asked.

“I am Juvia!”

“Juvia… Never heard of it! What are you people trying to do? Why don’t you guys stay inside your Undead Territory and that we’ll mind our own business and live in peace with each other? Wouldn’t that be great? What’s the point of fighting and killing each other? Don’t you think so? You’re just a tree. How about this? I’ll water you every now and then or get you some fertilizers. I’ll also apply some pesticide on you often to raise you healthily. What do you think?”

The face on the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld stared intently at Alex.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2169

“There’s something inside you that interests me. Let me see it. What is that?” The Earth-devouring Demon Tree said to itself. Then, a wisp of great, unparalleled divine sense rushed into Alex’s cardiac acupoint.”

“Ah!”

The wisp of divine sense was tremendous. After entering his cardiac acupoint, it ran amok inside, as if entering no man’s land. In an instant, it broke through his mind palace and reached under the Chaos Tree.

“So it’s the Chaos Tree! You have the Chaos Tree planted inside your mind palace. You’ve surprised me.”

The demon tree’s voice rang in Alex’s sea of consciousness.

Alex had ants in his pants. He wanted to drive this wisp of divine consciousness out of his body.

But soon, he noticed that this guy was very powerful. Even if it was just a trace of divine sense, it was not an existence that he could pose a challenge to. Instead, he heard Cheryl’s voice at this moment. “Alex, Alex… Is that you?”

Alex was startled again. “Cheryl, it’s me. How can you sense me?”

Cheryl should have heard Alex’s voice as well. She was so excited that she was about to cry. “It’s really you! You’re still alive! It’s wonderful! I was so worried about you. Everyone at home was worried about you too… Sob…”

As she said that, she burst into tears.

“How are you? Are you alright? Where are you? Are you hurt?”

“I’m alright! I’m not hurt! Don’t cry. I’m fine!”

“Are you in the Undying Clan’s territory? I heard that you were sucked in. When will you be back? You haven’t named your four children yet! Don’t let anything happen to you. Otherwise, otherwise I’ll die…”

“I’m no longer in the Undead Territory now. I’ve come out, but… I’m in the great world of America. I’ve found my dad’s tracks, but this is the depths of the ancient force field. It’s separated by a great distance, and there’s an endless expanse of sea in the middle, so it’ll be very difficult for you to come over… How’s the situation on your side? Is everything still fine…?”

The wisp of divine consciousness the Earth-devouring Demon Tree had rushed into Alex’s mind palace was very powerful. Yet, it was illusory, so there was no way to capture it. Anyway, Alex felt as though this guy’s soul was not easy for him to deal with.

He would fool it if he could do so. If he could not fool it… He could only resign himself to adversity and counter every move of the opponent… He managed to contact Cheryl on the other side. Regardless of the reason for this, he should communicate with Cheryl and give feedback on the important issues over here.

On the other hand, the wisp of soul stayed in front of the Chaos Tree for a while, but he could not do anything.

Then, it appeared in front of Persephone’s Folly Bridge. It even saw the Requiem Clock and the Soul Collection Coffin next to Persephone‘s Folly Bridge.

Then, it said, “Persephone’s Folly Bridge, the Requiem Clock, and the Soul Collection Coffin… All three treasures of Ksitigarbha have been given to you. It looks like you’ve inherited Ksitigarbha’s Legacy. If you plan to make a comeback and rebuild Buddhism… Unfortunately, it’s an impossible task. He cannot attain Buddhahood until all sentient beings are saved, yet how would he achieve Buddhahood after saving all the sentient beings?”

“This fellow Ksitigarbha is too naive. He thought he could fight our Undying Clan just because he found someone to inherit his legacy? What a joke!” The Earth-devouring Demon Tree burst into laughter. “Even if I allow you to rebuild the kingdom of Buddhism, it will end up getting destroyed for the second time… It’s something even Ksitigarbha could not do, yet he expected his inheritor to do it. Isn’t it a joke? Unless you can surpass Ksitigarbha… But Ksitigarbha had reached the pinnacle of Buddhism, so there would be no way out.”

“Huh? What is this?”

Just as the wisp of soul was wandering around Alex’s mind palace, unrestrained, it suddenly felt something. It looked carefully in a certain direction.

Then, it snorted coldly. “What a good plan. You guys want to stop me with this? Then, let’s wait and see. I’d like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve. Brat, I’ll be watching you.”

The soul had suddenly something so inexplicable. Then, it retreated with a swoosh.

“Cheryl. Cheryl, are you still here?” Alex shouted in the mind palace.

‘Is she gone too?’

“… Um… Alex, I’m here!” Cheryl’s voice gently rang out.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2170

“I’m in…”

As Cheryl’s voice rang in Alex’s divine sense, he was relieved yet a bit surprised.

Previously, he thought Cheryl could acquire a connection with his divine sense because she had once tested the poison with her body and obtained the energy from the sample of source blood. So, she managed to link to him through the source blood and a specific person from the Undying Clan.

Although now the Earth-devouring Demon Tree’s soul had left, Cheryl still could get in touch with him. So, there had to be another reason for this.

No matter what, this was a joyful matter.

“I saw her too!” Cheryl said to Alex in a faint voice.

Alex was startled. “You saw her? Who did you see?”

“It’s the woman who was talking to you just now,” Cheryl replied. “She… Is the source blood’s owner in my previous injection and has a lofty status in the Undying Clan! Alex, I wanted to tell you previously… Ever since the syringe injection of the source blood, I’ve often been able to form a certain connection of consciousness with her. I could see some bizarre contents through her vision. I thought it was a kind of illusion before this, but now I’m sure that this is something happening in reality.”

Alex recalled Lena’s words.

She said that the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld was a companion of a certain royal family in the Undying Clan. Hence, the person who had appeared in his mind palace earlier was not the Earth-devouring Demon Tree, but that queen.

‘She couldn’t be the Undying Clan’s supreme commander, right?’

Buzz!

Just as Alex was in a daze, a sudden change occurred at the location of Nine Heavens Tribe again.

The Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld became abnormally violent and abruptly rooted to its original spot. Then, he saw the terrain change, with bloody goo-like slobs covering the entire land. It devoured the land without prejudice before transforming it into Netherearth that constantly spewed deadly Chi every moment.

Alex ended the conversation with Cheryl.

Seeing the Earth-devouring Demon Tree before him, he felt that it had to be the queen’s disdain and provocation.

‘Do you look down on me?’

‘Do you think my achievement won’t surpass Ksitigarbha?’

‘Fine, I’ll show you. I, Alex Rockefeller, have dignity too!’

He was slightly angry.

Then, he rushed up to the Earth-devouring Demon Tree and unleashed a series of random slashes, hacking the demon tree to the point sap flowed everywhere on the ground. But, it seemed to be recalcitrant, ignoring Alex by allowing him to hack it at will. As a result, it devoured the land even faster, and the secreted mucus turned even more land into Netherearth.

Waves of deadly Chi wafted out. Alex could be immune to it right away, but the Naga tribe could not do so.

“I feel so uncomfortable!”

“This is the deadly Chi from the Undying Clan. The Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld has taken root underground, so it’s difficult to kill. If you kill one tree, more simply sprout out.”

“Run! Run!!!”

“Lord Saint, go! Prolonged exposure to the deadly Chi will cause great problems.”

The few people from the Nine Heavens Tribe were somewhat knowledgeable.

There was even a remaining wounded member from the previous frontline battlefield. Once a brave warrior on the battlefield, he was knowledgeable and familiar with the deadly Chi. He even knew that the existence of the Undying Clan’s deadly Chi was the greatest threat to the Naga warriors.

Alex waved his hand. “You guys, back off! If I don’t kill this tree today, I won’t be called a Rockefeller!”

He saw the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld turned a blind eye and paid no attention to the sword wounds that he had inflicted.

So, he used the holy technique.

“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Seal of Noble Light!”

“Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation, Mahayana Righteous Seal!”

“Great Mighty Divine Palm!”

It still did not work.

Seeing the immovable demon tree all along, Alex was furious yet anxious. It was a severe dent to his dignity.

‘A queen, right?!’

‘I can’t do anything about your soul, but just you wait. When I find you later, I’ll conquer you on the spot over and over!’

‘I can’t defeat you right now, but can’t I even defeat a tree?’

Roar!

The ninety nine golden cores in his body spun non-stop. Then, suddenly, he jumped out abruptly.
