The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2171
As fusion occurred somewhere, the Forbidden Spell of the Twelve Runes was activated. The furnace of forbidden spells reappeared.
Boom!
The huge furnace seemed to have come from another time and space, tearing apart an expanse of vast, ancient space full of blaze and power above Alex’s head.
Countless patterns were carved on the furnace. Alex could sense it too.
The furhnace, this time, had a different appearance from the one last time. It was on those patterns. The furnace was divided into four sides.
Each side had specific patterns. There was the sun, the moon, and stars on one side. Mountains, rivers, grasslands, and woods were on another. Then, on another side, were deities, ghosts, Buddhas, and demons.
On the last side was an expanse of nothingness with a person’s back at the bottom.
‘What does that mean?’
‘Does that mean that man is the master of his own fate?’
As Alex thought about it, the hundred feet tall furnace violently jumped out of the void and tipped all of a sudden, pouring an expanse of blaze covered with ancient runes out of it. It was poured on the Earth-devouring Demon Tree at once.
“Ahh!”
The next second, the Earth-devouring Demon Tree screamed horribly. The huge trunk began to shake.
The woman’s head reappeared on the tree trunk. She was wide-eyed as she stared at Alex intently, but she did not say a word. The humanoid’s expressions seemed full of astonishment and disbelief. Or, there was another emotion.
Alex sneered in his mind. ‘I won’t stop no matter how surprised you’re. Just die!’
‘Burn it! Burn it completely!’
He did not even know what kind of flame that was, but it burned purplish orange. In this flame were runes.
It could burn the deadly Chi. It could burn the evil Chi. It could even burn the Undying Clan.
With the ablaze Earth-devouring Demon Tree, the furnace of forbidden spells seemed to have acquired something that it wanted from the burning. A colossal suction force was formed mid-air, constantly swallowing the burning demon tree’s essence.
It was then that even Alex was stunned. Even the Naga tribe was dumbfounded.
Never did they expect that someone could burn the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld that had rooted underground to its death.
“Ahh!”
The flame had completely decimated the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld. Not only could this flame burn the tree trunk, branches, and leaves, but it could even go down and burn the roots. It burned the entire tree to the ground. However, that person’s face was still there in the flame, screaming furiously.
This was the woman on the throne!
Unfortunately, the wisp of her soul could not last long while facing the furnace of forbidden spells. Soon, the furnace of forbidden spells sucked her in as well.
“Argh!”
In a huge palace somewhere afar within the Undying Clan ’s territory, a woman was full of gracefulness. She was so furious, however, that she overturned an expensive table with two beams of bizarre lights shooting out of her eyes.
‘Ten-Point Forbidden Spell! This b*stard brat actually knows the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell!’
‘How is this possible? Hasn’t the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell gone extinct a long time ago? So where did he learn it?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2172
The furnace of ancient forbidden spells smelted the world.
Awesome! Awesome!
Even Alex was a little surprised that the Undying Clan’s queen melted to death just like that. Although this was most likely in st a will projection, her main body was definitely not that simple. She might even be at the level of an ancient Heavenly King. From the meaning of her words, she was an existence at the same level as Ksitigarbha.
So inexplicably targeted by such a person, he was overwrought!
However, the Naga tribe was in a frenzy. Alex had killed the Earth- devouring Tree of Netherworld. If they still did not address him as the Lord Saint, there would be no Lord Saint.
Once the Earth-devouring Demon Tree died, the surrounding environment changed at once.
The demon tree’s mucus that had covered the large area of Nine Heavens Tribe vanished in a puff of smoke. The deadly Chi was even vulnerable before the huge furnace. The furnace had sucked all of it in, rapidly refining it.
Buzz!
The blaze rotating at high speed in the furnace of forbidden spells gradually stopped. The specter of the massive furnace retreated silently as well.
After returning to Alex’s body, the furnace disintegrated and the ninety nine golden cores returned to their positions. But Alex felt that this time, his golden cores had significantly grown stronger after refining the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld.
When smelting other things, the furnace of forbidden spells could claim the smelted energy for its own use.
‘How omnipotent! No wonder it’s called the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell. It’s really something that even the divine power is no match for it.’
‘It looks like I have to adjust my focal point in the future and focus on cultivating the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell.’
However, the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell was too mysterious.
Even Alex was slightly puzzled about how it appeared. Since he lacked the method of cultivation, he just did it by the seat of his pants and had no one to ask for advice… It would be nice if there were a manual. Great, he was unable to see the big picture now.
“Alex, you are awesome!”
Shado hopped around and ran over to Alex, pulling Alex’s hand with a face full of adoration.
Then, the high priestess came over as well. Those few people from the Nine Heavens Tribe followed behind her.
Seeing Shado pulling Alex with that excited expression and the eyes filled with adoration, the corner of the high priestess’ mouth curved upward slightly. If Alex wanted to enter the end of the Dead Zone, he had to have intercourse with Lena, and Lena was Shado’s grandmother. If Shado were to fall for Alex, it would be destined to be a tragedy thanks to the pressure that the family hierarchy would incur.
“Lord Saint, are you alright?” the high priestess asked, concerned.”
“I’m fine!” Alex shook his head and looked at those few unfamiliar faces.
It was the first time that he saw adult male Nagas in the Naga tribe.
When they met Alex’s gaze, they immediately fell to their knees and paid their respects. “All hail Lord Saint!”
***
The sky turned dark once again.
This was Alex’s second night in the great Genbu’s body. This milestone victory filled the Naga tribe with hope for the future, especially when Alex had stepped in to lift the curses on the Naga tribe members who had joined the faction recently.
The group of people even firmly believed Alex’s identity as the Lord Saint.
It was worth mentioning that the leader of Nine Heavens Tribe, Nyx Trigleph, who had refused to believe the words about the Lord Saint, returned as well… That night, those escaped people, who originally belonged to Nine Heavens Tribe, reunited and even contacted people from several nearby tribes and villages using the Naga tribe’s exclusive Aqua Mail so that they could come over to pay homage to the Lord Saint.
Members of the Naga tribe kept increasing. Nearly ten thousand people had gathered, singing and dancing at the original location of Nine Heavens Tribe.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2173
Alex noticed that the Naga tribe members did not deceive each other like the humans. Nyx Trigleph was considered keener, but after being convinced of Alex’s identity as the Lord Saint, the reverence he showed was no less than Lena’s. It even contained more trepidation.
Nyx knelt before Alex. “I was terrified and guilty. The moment I received the Aqua Mail from Chief Rivers, I didn’t arrange for the right manpower to protect Lord Saint at once. I’m ashamed to face my ancestors and the great astrologist of the Naga tribe!”
Alex, who was holding his daughter, waved his hand. “Get up. It’s not a big deal. Under such circumstances, it would be too late even if you led the people to rush over for reinforcement.”
Lena, at the side, added to the backstabbing. “Nyx Trigleph, I knew you didn’t believe me!”
“But if you had rushed to our village right after receiving the message, the Undying Clan would not have killed so many of your people from the Nine Heavens Tribe. You could’ve reduced the casualties by half at least, or even more.”
Upon hearing it, Nyx regretted his decision.
Alex then met the leaders and village chiefs from various places. He heard a lot of bad news.
“The Undying Clan has raided the Cloudwave Tribe three hundred miles away in the East and wiped out the entire tribe!”
“The Undying Clan’s army has conquered Alevins Village, Brightborn Village, and Minos Village in the Southwest. There are barely any survivors!”
“The Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld has conquered the entire Northern side, extending all the way to the estuary of the Dead Zone. The deadly Chi is all over the area, and we also discovered a large number of Undying Clan members stationed everywhere…”
The bad news just came pouring from everywhere, one after another.
It seemed that a bunch of Naga tribe members, who were singing and dancing earlier, seemed to have cold water poured on them from head to toe. Many people present hailed from those places, the obliterated villages, and tribes. They had relatives and friends who could never come back, so how could they not be sad and shed tears?
The sound of singing and dancing was gone. Instead, there were bursts of cries.
Lena stepped forward and said, “My dear people, God hasn’t forsaken us, and fate hasn’t mocked us. Although we’re experiencing the darkest moments of our lives, we also have great light! The Lord Saint that we’ve waited for thousands of years has descended. He’s our ray of hope…”
When Lena stood on the high platform to give her fervent speech, Alex was sitting at the side and feeding Bubbles with milk while holding her in his arms.
On the other hand, the wisp of his divine sense was currently in communication with Cheryl, who was far away in America.
Cheryl was in Rockefeller’s villa in California at the moment. Brittany, Waltz, Maya, Daya, Dorothy, and the rest all gathered around Cheryl after knowing that she was able to reach Alex mentally. Only God knew how worried they were about Alex deep down.
They seemed to have lost their backbone all of a sudden. Now that they could talk to him, there were so many things they wanted to say.
“Alex, Alex. Daya’s asking, how’s your daughter? Is she well-behaved? Can she eat well?”
“Don’t worry. She’s fine now. She can eat and sleep well. She’s even able to say ‘Daddy’!”
“Have you named her?”
“Yes. She’s called Bubbles Rockefeller.”
“What? What kind of sh*tty name is that? No way. That’s an awful name. It’s killing me!”
Alex felt helpless and replied exasperatedly, “She chose it herself.”
“Nonsense. Your daughter is still so young. How could she know how to choose?” Of course, Daya talked to Alex through Cheryl. “Since you’ve named her Bubbles, you’ll have to take responsibility if she can’t get married in the future.”
“My daughter doesn’t need to worry about her marriage, right?!”
Eventually, Brittany said, “It’s still fine to have Bubbles as her nickname, but it’s inappropriate as her given name. Alex, your naming standards are seriously too poor, so please, don’t do the naming of your children in the future. Daya, come and name her. I believe you can pick a much better name.”
Daya thought for a while, then said, “Hmm then, let’s name her… Angel!”
“Are you for real?”
“Of course!”
“We might as well call her Bubbles!”
“If you allow her to take my family name, I’ll agree to have her named Bubbles.”
“Bubble Stoermer? No way. I’d rather name her Angel Rockefeller!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2174
Riding on Cheryl’s communication ability, the members of the Rockefeller family continued talking to Alex, one after another. Being able to finally talk to him greatly alleviated the weight off everyone’s mind.
Of course, Alex did not tell them about his current situation lest their worries would increase in vain. Anyway, they would not be of much help even if he told them.
Alex then wrapped up his conversations with them.
The crying and wailing of the Naga tribe members seemed to have calmed down as well. During then, information from all sides had been gathered with the transmission of Aqua Mails one by one. After analyzing the bits of information, everyone realized the terrifying big picture.
The Undying Clan was launching a final all-out attack on the great Genbu!
Once the great Genbu died, Nirvana would disappear with it, and they would become sacrifices to be buried along with it.
However, the passage that initially guarded the end of the Dead Zone that connected the Undying Clan and the great world of America would be opened entirely. Hence the arrangement and barrier that the League of Cultivators set up with tremendous efforts would be immediately ruined.
It would cause the darkest moments of ancient times to repeat themselves.
“This is not good!”
“A large number of Undying Clan members have already forced their way in from the Southwest overnight! They will barge in here soon!”
“Chief, a great amount of deadly Chi has wafted over from the North. I’m afraid the Undying Clan will attack us too.”
Whoosh!
A few Naga leaders rushed over to Alex’s side to inform him of the situation. Faced with such a hectic warfare, Alex seemed out of wits on decent solutions either.
“Go!”
“Head to the East.” Lena said, “The East is our Naga tribe’s frontline battle zone, and there are a huge number of regular Naga troops. Besides, if we want to head to the end of the Dead Zone, we have to walk past the ancient Long River Passage from there. The most important thing now is to escort Lord Saint there and rendezvous with the great Genbu. Otherwise… everything will be over!”
Nyx asked, “Lena Rivers, have you… Copulated with Lord Saint?”
Lena shook her head.
Nyx asked hurriedly, “Then what are you waiting for? Could it be that you want Lord Saint to throw away his life? You’re the key to the safe passage in order to go to the Dead Zone. You must be responsible for the safety of Lord Saint. You have to achieve the goal regardless of the cost, even if you have to pay the price of your life! If I were you, I would have done it with Lord Saint ages ago.”
When Alex looked at the robust male Naga, he instantly shuddered. ‘I’d rather die than copulate with you.’
“Of course I’ll do so when the time is right, but where on earth do I have that free time now? Let’s get out of here first! Go!”
Tens of thousands of Naga tribe members, Alex and Bubbles aka Angel Rockefeller, hurriedly fled to the East together. At that very moment, Alex believed he could defeat all the Undying Clan members there and then with his own power, not to mention that there were sea demon beasts too.
That night, the group of them fled for a very long distance, passing by several tribes along the way.
Three days later, the Naga tribe members who were following Alex had accumulated to two hundred thousand people. This was because the Naga tribe members and even cities that they had passed by on their way all followed and worshipped Alex. At the same time, Alex, too, kept increasing his divine power through the continuous process of lifting the curses off them.
The divine power in the golden lake increased every second. This was not only the divine power acquired from helping the people to lift their curses but also the faith from the Naga tribe members. When the power of faith was transformed into the divine power subsequently, the value was much greater than the former.
As of today, Alex’s divine power had surpassed one billion points.
Even the little thief girl, Persephone’s Folly Bridge, was jealous of such a ginormous amount. To his surprise, she showed up outwardly and boldly asked Alex to give half of it to her so that he could freely use Persephone’s Folly Bridge five times more in the near future.
“I’m so sorry. I’m too poor. I can’t afford to summon you!”
“Let’s talk again and get together when I become a true Mr. Moneybags of divine power. I think I’m still not good enough for you at the moment.” Alex rejected.
‘You’ll take away five hundred million points to let me use you five times… Hah, you’re so expensive. I really can’t afford to use you.’
Most importantly, Alex noticed that Persephone’s Folly Bridge could no longer draw the divine power from his golden lake on her own, so this was the best news for him.
Three days later…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2175
The Naga tribe members who followed behind Alex had reached an intimidating amount of a million people. This basically had hit the limit.
All the Naga tribe members who were able to come over had come. Even the Naga warriors in the frontline combat cleaning the demon beasts, the pests which the great Genbu’s body had produced because of the curse, had rushed over as well.
Eventually, they reached the Ancient Long River Passage. The moment they saw the scene before them, the Naga tribe members began to despair. It was because the Undying Clan and sea demon beasts had already occupied the Ancient Long River Passage. There was blood everywhere before their eyes.
There was a huge, towering mountain over an unknown distance ahead.
However, at a closer look, they could differentiate that the huge mountain was, in fact, half a turtle’s back. A bleeding, cracked turtle’s back.
“True Martial Sovereign…”
“Is the great Genbu going to die soon?”
“Even… The turtle’s back is left behind here…”
Countless Naga tribe members were grief-stricken. In their minds, the great Genbu was a living sovereign that had a lofty status, a deity that guarded their peace for generations. But now, this deity’s life has come to an end. It was fighting alone, and no one else could help it.
Sorrow and grief flooded the hearts of all Naga tribe members. They were devastated beyond words. The sea of members started shedding tears and wailed.
However…
Danger descended not long after. A gust of chilly wind swept over from the Ancient Long River Passage, and at the same time, there was a stream of tremendous, supreme divine sense.
‘It’s… The queen of the Undying Clan!’
Alex felt the stream of divine sense in astonishment.
She seemed to be everywhere, filling every corner in the space. She was on her high horse as she stared at Alex.
“Brat, we meet again. I told you I’d be watching you all the time. I remember you, so you can’t escape.” The queen’s voice boomed in Alex’s mind.
In an instant, Alex almost fell to his knees. The tremendous divine sense weighed even heavier than a huge mountain.
Poof!
Alex’s ninety nine golden cores spun vigorously to resist the divine sense’s coercion, but he was forced to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Cough, cough… Alex wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and hugged his daughter tightly in his arms as a smile slowly curled on his face. “Tell me. You do not have a crush on me, right? Do the men of the Undying Clan look undernourished and are unable to satisfy you?”
“You’re asking for a death wish, Alex!”
As the queen was infuriated, an even stronger stream of divine sense struck down.
Thud! Thud!
A great number of affected Naga tribe members following behind Alex immediately fell to their knees. At the same time, the ninety-nine golden cores in Alex’s body spun vigorously, causing the furnace of forbidden spells to appear silently and forcibly resist the divine sense’s coercion.
“Interesting, again!”
The queen’s will descended once again.
Just then, a wild roar pierced through as the ground shook and the space collapsed. The huge half of a turtle’s back from afar suddenly moved. The great Genbu covered in blood with only half a turtle’s back emerged from the Ancient Long River Passage and broke the will at once.
It was the real body of the True Martial Sovereign.
“Juvia, aren’t you underestimating me, Genis Ondine? How dare you come over to kill my people with a single stream of will?”
“Get lost!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2176
Boom, boom!
The real body of the True Martial Sovereign was gigantic.
It was covered in blood, and the tortoiseshell was ragged and badly mangled. There were even rotten wounds on it, but the aura that the body exuded was still a peerless powerhouse, a show of strength that he could only achieve.
With a swipe of his front paw, a void was created in the radius of ten thousand meters in front of him. All the sea demon beasts within this range were all torn apart.
Even the strong will that had descended from the so-called queen of the Undead, Iuvia, was also torn to pieces with this single swipe.
However, immediately after…
Whoosh!
Streams of shadows suddenly appeared out of thin air. Although they were only shadows, hints of their real faces could be seen in them. It was the face of a majestic woman, and though her face could not be seen clearly, one could see the slender, dainty figure she had.
Every shadow looked the same. The woman was Juvia!
“I am the Undying Clan, also known as the Undead. Let’s see how many shots you can handle!” Juvia said with a laugh.
Her laughter shook the world, from the sky in the heavens to the dirt in the earth. It was like thunder roaring across the skies, and it sent a shock right into the hearts of people listening.
Once she was done laughing, she extended her hand and waved. Layers of deadly Chi burst out, overwhelming the entire area in an instant.
As for the sea demon beasts that had been torn apart from the great Genbu’s claws, they were resurrected once more. Not only that, the sea demon beasts that were newly resurrected were obviously more powerful than before… There was even an endless stream of undead climbing out from beneath the seabed. The numbers were even greater than before.
Those from the Na ga tribe looked frightened and were tense. This heroic ability to resurrect millions with a wave of a hand was simply appalling.
Forget about the Naga tribe, even Alex could feel his heart jumping wildly. This devil woman was just too terrifying! The last time he had been lucky enough to escape from her hands, and that was all thanks to the gods.
“Genbu, this brat is the plan that you and that Old Devil Rowan spent ten thousand years producing? Unfortunately, he awakened too late. Now that I’m awake, do you think he will live?”
As Juvia spoke, her gaze was on Alex.
Alex felt surprised suddenly, and there was a strange expression on his face.
Was he part of someone else’s… Plan?
The great Genbu also looked at Alex, but it was impossible to see anything from his eyes. There was no hint of happiness, anger, sorrow or joy. Once he had his fill looking, the great Genbu laughed. “So what if you’ve seen through it? Your real body isn’t here, and you want to kill him? By the time you meet him for real, you will be powerless against him.”
After the great Genbu said that, Alex was also puzzled on the inside.
Grand Emperor Rowan and Supreme Phoenix had indeed made a plan that spanned thousands of years and had indeed planted a seed for it just in case, but… It didn’t seem like it had anything to do with the kid in front of them. However, what in the world was the kid hiding in his cardiac acupoint?
He could be sure that Alex was definitely not the seed that they had planted. But, those things he kept in his cardiac acupoint did have something to do with the seed.
This was very strange indeed!
However, Juvia had assumed that the seed was Alex, and this could be a good thing. At least the kid could attract Juvia’s attention. That way, the seed would be safe and could develop further without any wretched interruption. So, he would beat Juvia at her own game and acknowledge that Alex was the seed.
Alex’s anger level would definitely reach its peak if he knew that he had been pulled into the great Genbu’s schemes to meet his purposes. Especially since he would experience many dangers because of this incident and would narrowly escape with his own life…
Juvia gave Alex another glance, and a contemptuous smile spread across her face.
It looked as though she didn’t think the seed was worth anything in her eyes.
Instead, she said, “Genbu, you’ve been stuck in the Dead Zone for three thousand years, and you’re already at your wit’s end. Have you ever wondered why that old devil, Rowan, never deigned to show up?”
The great Genbu was taken aback. “What do you know about it?”
Juvia smiled and said, “He was such a fool. He thought that he could find the birthplace of our clan by going into the Abyss and that he would be able to control my clan in doing so. It was a pity, be it Old Devil Rowan or Supreme Phoenix, neither of them knew what the Abyss really is. There is no return from that place, and I’m afraid they have already perished there.”
“Now, three thousand years have passed. It is time for my clan to return to the land of the living. Genbu, just close your eyes and rest in peace!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2177
Juvia didn’t have any intentions of preventing anyone else from hearing her words. Although her voice was not loud, her words were transmitted into everyone’s ears so that they could hear everything clearly.
Old Devil Rowan!
Supreme Phoenix!
What kind of existence were they?
And what was the Abyss?
The more Alex listened, the more intrigued he became. He felt as though he had brushed against the truth of the cataclysm in ancient times. However, everything was still too vague, and he couldn’t make out the bigger picture, and it felt that the entire truth was out of his reach. The few names that had been raised were existences at the level of ancient Heavenly Kings and were tens of thousands of light-years away from where he was right now.
But now, they were all alive and in front of him.
The great Genbu let out a roar, and from half of his tortoiseshell, countless runes started to flow out, filling half the sky with ancient, mysterious runes. Each rune then turned into a golden sword.
“Juvia, if you want to kill him, you’ll have to do it over my dead body!”
“Let’s see you take my 330 million swords!”
“Even if you resurrect yourself, let’s see who can kill each other faster!”
The momentum and scale of the 330 million swords were imposing, and the magnificent sword glares cut through the sky. Moreover, the massive amount of swords was dense in the sky and resembled a meteor rain that filled the entire Ancient Long River Passage.
Juvia snorted coldly. Then, she waved her hand to create a death scene that blocked the overwhelming amount of sword glares.
Then, she pointed at Alex. “Kill him! ”
Woo, woo!
Countless sea demon beasts and undead surged from the waters, and with Alex as their main target, they rushed toward him.
“Protect Lord Saint!” Lena Rivers shouted.
At this moment, it seemed as though the entire Naga tribe moved as one, placing Alex in the middle as they surrounded him to protect him.
The two forces collided in the next second. The sea demon beasts and the undead crashed into the millions of Naga tribe members.
Alex had never seen such a scene in his entire life before. It was truly terrifying.
In the past few days, Alex and the Naga tribe members had lived together in harmony, and these Naga have sincerely looked to him as their Lord Saint. They were also doing their best to protect him with their lives right now.
“Shado, hold my daughter!”
Alex passed his daughter over to Shado Rivers. Shado had been following him all this while. She was a warrior and had been personally appointed by Lena to stay by Alex’s side and protect him.
“Nan mo he luo da na, duo luo ye ye!”
“Mighty Sky Dragon, appear!”
“Requiem Clock, come!”
“Soul Collection Coffin, come on out!”
Bringing out all sorts of cards from his deck, Alex stepped forward and stood at the forefront of the Naga tribe. In the next second, all ninety-nine of his golden sores spun.
“Furnace of Forbidden Spells, smelt everything!”
Whoosh!
When the Furnace of Forbidden Spells slowly emerged, even the great Genbu was surprised. But in the next second, he laughed excitedly. “What a great kid to actually know the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell! Let me give you a hand…”
The great Genbu extended his long neck and opened his mouth to spit out a bead.
Right into the Furnace of the Forbidden Spells it went.
“Juvia, no matter how many thousand scenarios you’ve prepared for, surely you’ve never accounted for the fact that he would have the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, right? How does it feel? Are you satisfied with the plan that my brother has made?”
‘Kid… This old man has given you a combat-type forbidden curse, which is one of the true arcana of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell. Once you’ve thoroughly understood it, you will benefit a lot from it!’
He said the last part to Alex through telepathy.
In the next moment, Alex felt the Furnace of Forbidden Spell had gone through a tremendous change, and the true arcana tumbled violently into his consciousness.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2178
‘With the heavens as my slave, and the earth as my servant!’
‘Heaven and earth as one, colossal cultivation at its simplest!’
‘Punish the god, the devil and the heavens!’
‘Cut down the immortals, Buddha, and the ten thousand realms!’
These words appeared in Alex’s mind, and he was immediately shocked beyond words. His hands and feet trembled. It was indeed a forbidden technique that went against the natural orders of law. It called heaven and earth its slave and servant and even spoke about cutting down immortals, Buddha and the devil!
Punishing the heavens as well as the ten thousand realms, it was literally speaking about killing everything without fear of consequences.
This forbidden spell was really an incredible one!
These were the four lines that were part of the true arcana that the great Genbu wanted to pass onto Alex, followed by the details.
‘The supreme way of heaven and countless servants. Taoism was born from the ground and transformed into one…’
Every word was magnificent, and it implied colossal cultivation being supreme yet obscure at the same time.
Alex’s head was swimming, and in his current state, he couldn’t concentrate enough to comprehend what he was seeing. He could only force himself to remember every word from the true arcana now so that he could take his time to go through it later.
However, the internal alchemy that the great Genbu had poured into the Furnace of Forbidden Spells was a real treasure. The true arcana was a million times stronger than Alex’s comprehension.
“Juvia, the universe isn’t something you can get just because you want it!”
“The Path of God is always on our side! Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, the dark of the sun and moon, Great Icebound Curse!”
The Furnace of Forbidden Spells that Alex’s ninety nine golden cores had formed was temporarily under the great Genbu’s control, but its core was still within Alex. So, when the great Genbu cast the Great Icebound Curse, he asked for Alex through telepathy to activate the furnace… The fire that had initially been burning with heat in the furnace suddenly turned into a freezing current.
With a thought, Alex released it, and the ice-blue cold current screeched like steel knives scratching against bones, pouring out like resentful energy from hell and rushed forward in Juvia’s direction violently.
Wherever the cold current passed, it left ice in its wake, covering the area in it
The undead was frozen. The sea demon beasts were frozen. Even Juvia’s projection, as well as the curtain she had covered the sky in, were all frozen.
The entire Ancient Long River Passage was cutoff abruptly, and it was also frozen.
Everywhere that the naked eye could see was now covered in ice and snow. It was eerily quiet.
Immediately after, the great Genbu’s 330 million sword glares pierced the frozen sky, killing all the frozen undead!
Clink, Clang! Boom!
The sounds of countless ice shattering into pieces echoed across the area. Juvia’s dozens of divine thought projections were also broken into pieces.
The last projection had awkwardly managed to escape from the Great Icebound Curse, and it floated in the endless void.
“Genbu, you gave your internal alchemy to this kid? It looks like he is the seed left by Old Devil Rowan! I can’t dispose of him today, but when you’re dead, I will quickly take his life!”
“Boy, I’ll be watching you!”
The divine thought projection that spoke was nowhere to be seen, and its voice was erratic and coming from everywhere at once. Then, it disappeared entirely without a trace.
Everything was quiet.
Juvia’s retreat seemed to have taken the remaining deadly Chi with her, clearing away all hints of it from the area.
The great Genbu’s 330 million swords vanished into nothingness in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The battered body of the great Genbu, who was as huge as a mountain, suddenly shook and fell heavily to the ground. The Ancient Long River Passage, which the Great Icebound Curse had frozen, had huge cracks running through it, as well as a deep pit from where the great Genbu had fallen.
“Great Genbu!”
“True Martial Sovereign!”
The Naga tribe members all had unsightly expressions on their faces as they cried out.
While everyone on the scene was wracked with worry and going out of their minds, the great Genbu’s body started to freeze at an extremely fast rate.
A thought resounded across the world.
‘My time is running out, and Nirvana will no longer exist within my world. So fortunate kid, hurry and find me in the Dead Zone. You only have at most seven days, hurry…”
As he reached the end, his voice started to trail off. The sounds of heartbeat that were beating loudly across the sides had also slowly weakened.
Alex knew the great Genbu was talking to him, yet…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2179
“Senior, I heard that there were restrictions under the Dead Zone, is there any way to counter it?” Alex quickly asked.
To sleep with Lena Rivers out of nowhere was really a difficult decision to make! However, there was no more sound from the great Genbu.
It even took a long while before the muffled sound of his heartbeat was heard.
Everything was silent.
A member of the Naga tribe, usually a leader on the battlefield, Green, turned to Alex and said, “Lord Saint, it will take at least three days to travel from here to the Dead Zone. This is not taking into account the sea demon beasts we will encounter during the journey. Lord Saint, time is of the essence. Please hurry and obtain the blessings!”
“Bless the Lord Saint!”
“Bless the Lord Saint!”
Countless members of the Naga tribe kneeled on the ground.
Alex understood that the so-called blessing was to sleep with Lena, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction toward Grand Emperor Rowan, Old Devil Rowan or whatever. So what kind of plan was this?
Why did one have to sleep with his descendants and plant their seeds before getting the blessings to enter the Dead Zone?!
Was this a trifling matter?
What if Alex had been a woman?!
Did he think about that, huh? Would a woman be able to plant the seeds?!
Half an hour later, Lena pulled Alex into a makeshift palace. In other words, it was a bedroom in the palace.
“Lord Saint, time is of the essence. Please hurry up!” Lena, who had transformed into her human form, sat on the side of the bed with a bashful look on her face. Both her legs were crossed, and her posture was charming.
Alex hesitated for a moment before asking, “If you can’t get pregnant, will the blessing not work then?”
Lena said, “Lord Saint, you just need to exert a little more energy, and it will be easy. Then, the body of our Naga tribe members can easily get pregnant.”
“Can a human and Naga do it normally?”
“Don’t worry. My ancestors were of human and Naga descent!”
“That…”
“Lord Saint, are you being shy? Then, I’ll turn off the lights…”
She had a lot of sex appeal, and she was also very perceptive.
Pa, pa, pa!
Alex spent the entire night engaging Lena in the makeshift palace.
The next day, at noon, Alex held his daughter in his arms and looked out to the sea in front of him. He looked to be lost in thoughts, and perhaps he was wondering about what kind of child he and Lena would produce. Would it be more of a Naga than a human or the other way around? And then, when he brought home a little Naga and told them that it was his child, would the group of ladies back home lose their mind?
Just then, Shado Rivers came over to him.
Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she gave Alex a strange look and said, “Alex, Grandma said it’s done?”
Alex nodded. He had actually felt it. The blessings from Lena’s ancestors.
In the afternoon, Alex solemnly handed his daughter over to Lena to take care of her. Then, under the escort of a hundred thousand Naga, he entered the Dead Zone. After the last battle, the Ancient Long River Passage was extremely calm, and there wasn’t a hint of any sea demon beasts. The original plan had been that they needed to walk a day and a half, but they completed that leg of the journey in half a day.
After passing the Ancient Long River Passage, they would enter the depths of the Dead Zone.
Those from the Naga tribe could go no further. They, too, were unable to endure the restrictions that had been placed here.
Golden light from the blessing glowed around Alex’s body, and he teleported forward. Another day passed, and he finally arrived at the end of the Dead Zone.
“I’m here!”
A voice spoke in Alex’s consciousness.
Following the sound, Alex found a terrifying humongous mountain on the extremely dark seabed… Oh, it was actually a gigantic tortoise.
“Senior, can I ask you a question? Am I really your plan from tens of thousands of years ago?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2180
It took a long while before the great Genbu answered breathlessly, “Yes!”
Alex’s heart trembled.
He always had a suspicion, whose reincarnation was he?
According to Daya’s words, his incarnation should have been a married couple with Daya, who had an unfortunate fate. They had jumped into the reincarnation pool together and reincarnated to the present day. And inside his cardiac acupoint, just like Dorothy, was a strange, unseen presence that existed. He wasn’t sure that he would walk the same path as Dorothy and become another person… But at this moment, when he heard the great Genbu’s words, he felt that the situation might be more serious than he thought.
He might have been just a pawn that someone had set up ten thousand years ago. That was just too tragic.
But if he knew that the dignified True Martial Sovereign, an ancient god, was just lying to a little man like him, Alex wouldn’t know to laugh or cry.
“Who am I?” Alex asked.
“The seed!” the great Genbu said. “You shouldn’t ask too many questions in your state. The more you ask, it will not benefit you and would endanger you instead. Currently, the most important thing for you is to survive. Live until the day comes when you can kill Juvia.”
“That Juvia, what’s her position in the Undying Clan?”
“She is the supreme king of the Undying Clan.”
“Oh..?” Alex’s heart trembled, and his body stiffened in surprise.
He was just a little man who had yet to become immortal, and now he was being targeted by the supreme king of the Undying Clan?! How would he survive at this rate? He wouldn’t be able to get a single moment of peace!
The great Genbu said, “Don’t be too pessimistic. For some reason, Juvia cannot leave the Undead Territory. Even if she comes after you, she can only use her projections. But you have the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell in your hands, and it’s not like you have completely no chance at all in a confrontation. Focus on developing yourself. The future of humanity is in your hands.”
The great Genbu had heaped a large amount of praise onto Alex.
He felt himself blushing in shame on the inside.
The great True Martial Sovereign, cheating a small, Core Formation. Suppose word got out, how the mighty have fallen! However, there was no other way. The seed needed a scapegoat right now.
‘Everything is done for the sake of making a stand and victory!’
‘Everything is done for the sake of peace in every realm!’
The great Genbu comforted himself this way, but he also made up his mind to give Alex a little more benefit. One was to make up for this, and the other was that the longer this scapegoat lived, the better.
He spoke slowly, “My time is soon running out, and I will be extinguished soon. Come closer, I will speak to you about the true arcana of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell…”
That was exactly what Alex wanted, and he immediately moved closer. The great Genbu spewed a ray of light that enveloped him.
“In the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, there are a total of ten arcane secret spells. The spells are, Great Icebound, Great Storm, Great Flame, Great Void, Great Seal, Great Silence, Great Reincarnation, Great Summoning, and Great Resurrection.”
Alex counted the number of spells, but the number wasn’t right!
“Senior, you’ve only mentioned nine types. What about the last one?”
“There’s one more, but nobody knows much about it. The Ten-Point Forbidden Spell is an extremely forbidden one, and it is viewed as disgraceful art. All ten spells in it are viewed as a common enemy to both heaven and earth. But on the contrary, one who can gather all ten of the forbidden arcana would be the most peerless talent in their generation.”
There was a great yearning in Alex’s heart when he heard that. However, even the great Genbu had only managed to obtain one, which was the Great Icebound Curse. And for some reason, though he knew the Great Icebound Curse, he couldn’t cast it. It was because the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell was against the nature of law, the heavens and earth had driven it out in ancient times, and no one could use it.
The great Genbu was confused too. So how did Alex manage to know the spell?
But, no matter how it was, the great Genbu had given Alex the Great Icebound Curse through the method of inheritance.
Whoosh!
The great Genbu gently flicked his finger, and the Holy Book in Alex flew out automatically. It emitted a glorious, dazzling light as it did so.
“It’s almost time. Nirvana, let it exist within your mind palace!” the great Genbu said. “It’s also considered to be your dimension. From now on, the Naga tribe will look to you as their god, and I hope you will treat them well.”
“Also, this half of tortoise armor will protect you all-around in your time of need.”
“Remember… Three years! After three years, my flesh will disintegrate completely, and the Undying Clan’s passage to the world will open once again. You only have three years. Live. Only by surviving will there be hope…”
Whoosh!
A huge, overwhelming force crashed into Alex’s mind palace.
Alex fell into a deep coma in the same instant from the pain in his head that came from the energy crashing into him.
