Ch. 2221..2230

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2221

“You aren’t her real Holy Saint, so you don’t have to listen to her words at all. As you can see, my sister had, in fact, no regard for you at all. You’re just a pawn. She planned to sacrifice your lives to fulfill her d*mn vocation.”

“Everything she said is false. She’s a drama queen through and through. It’s not too late for you guys to stop, lest the spell formation will drain your flesh, blood, and soul dry.”

“I can help you to get out of her control temporarily and open a passage to leave…”

Artemis’ words shocked Alex and Donovan deeply. With the effects of the scepter and the golden shield, they did feel the Chi on their bodies constantly flowing away.

The Chi was flowing away at this moment, but wouldn’t that be equivalent to the loss of their lives after the Chi was gone?

Nobody wanted to die!

“Don’t worry,” said Athena. “You guys will be fine. Just hang in there.”

She increased the output.

Artemis activated the mystic art. After all, she was Athena’s little sister, so she wasn’t weak by any standard. Even if she had been tricked and was trapped inside Rashomon, she still had her trump card. She spat out a beam of blue light from her mouth, a magical treasure.

It instantly self destructed, shaking the space and blowing up a spatial hole out of it.

Pitch-black, nobody knew where it led to.

The explosion even disabled the confinement spell on Alex and Donovan temporarily.

“Go!” Artemis yelled.

The next second, the golden light on Athena glowed again, enveloping Alex and Donovan.

Swoosh!

Donovan jumped into it.

Alex was a bit slower because he was a little scared of the densely packed Abyssal Demon Bugs on Artemis. Subconsciously, he thought that there were serious consequences if he gave up helping Athena after listening to Artemis’ words.

However, the kind of battle before his eyes was not something a weakling like him could join. He still wanted to stay alive.

He still had many people and things that he could not let go of.

Hence, he jumped into the spatial black hole as well. However, such benevolence caused him to lose the opportunity, as Athena had shattered the spatial black hole. If Alex were to rush in now, he would most likely be decapitated.

‘D*mn, I’m really the most miserable.’

It was too late for Alex to regret it. Why did his heart become soft?

“Hey, beauty. Do you want to blast out another passage so that I can leave too?” he hurriedly said to Artemis.

Artemis sneered. “You won’t have a chance. Although one shield is gone, it’s just enough to have you. I’ll grant you a glorious death.”

“Umm…”

Only then did Alex notice that Donovan had taken away Athena’s golden shield.

Seeing that Artemis had become fearless and had toughened up again due to strong backing, Alex also began to make up his mind. “Fine! You’re just that dumb Undead Queen’s lapdog. Do you think I’m afraid of you? Even the Undead Queen has to kneel if she comes over, let alone a servant like you.”

“What did you say?!”

Artemis was infuriated. If gazes could kill people, Alex would have died countless times.

She and Alex glared at each other. Now, the furnace of forbidden spells that the ninety nine golden cores had formed in his body spun wildly. He said with a smile, “I said, you’re someone else’s lap dog. Woof, woof, woof! How about it? Come out and bite me if you think you can!”

Having said that, he said to Athena, “Mask, tell me what do you want to do. I’ll cooperate with you fully and make sure to kill this traitor of mankind.”

Athena said, “I’m not going to kill her. Artemis is my little sister. I just wanted to help her get purified.”

“Umm…”

Artemis burst into laughter. “Mortal brat, did you hear that? You can’t kill me. You won’t have a chance either. Wait for me to kill you! I can still kill you even if I have been purified.”

Alex scratched his head and said with a sigh , “Does that mean there’s no room for negotiation? You both sisters joined forces to trick an honest man like me.”

Having said that, he suddenly threw the scepter to the ground with a clang. He had regained his freedom completely.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2222

Clang!

Alex threw Athena’s golden scepter to the ground as if it was a piece of trash.

‘I’m beat. I’m done with this.’

Athena was dumbfounded. ‘My own goddess’ summoning didn’t work? This is impossible! The cultivation of this little guy before me hasn’t even reached the immortalization stage yet, so how did he have that ability?’

However, after losing the blessing of the scepter in Alex’s hand, Artemis’ pressure dropped sharply, causing Rashomon’s confinement energy to reduce at once. Hence, she could rapidly escape the cage once she activated the mystic art.

Athena hurriedly picked up the scepter, using it to block Rashomon.

However, it would be extremely exhausting since she needed to use her wings while using the scepter. Moreover, one could tell that Athena was fighting for her life.

“Dummy, I don’t harbor any ill intention against you,” she said to Alex. “Hurry up, come and help me for a while. You’ve seen them too. The Abyssal Demon Bugs on Artemis are heinous. If these things are allowed to develop at will, humans would be wiped out. So, the demon bugs on her must be purified.”

Alex sneered. “What? Should I wait for her to come and kill me then?”

“Don’t let her words fool you now. She has now lost herself after the demon bugs controlled her mind. Once the purification is done, Artemis won’t kill you for sure. I promise.”

Alex shrugged. “I think this is something you sisters would have to handle between yourselves. An outsider like me shall not participate.”

He had planned to expose the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell earlier. Unexpectedly, Athena’s power had instead multiplied after she used the scepter, causing Artemis to fall into a tougher predicament.

Hence, he naturally did not have to reveal his secrets. Facing such an ancient. deity, the danger was too great. He did not go and lend a hand. Instead, he collected the Law Stones on the ground quickly.

There were too many of them. Tens of thousands of Law Stones piled up like garbage on the ground.

What a windfall!

‘After I’m done with collecting the Law Stones, I’ll just slip away.’

‘I don’t care if you sisters start killing each other.’

He thought so.

He turned around after picking up the last Law Stone, only to notice lines of red cracks appearing on Athena’s body. It seemed that her body could not withstand the divine power once again, just like before.

Meanwhile, Artemis screamed in horror.

“Athena, what are you doing?! Are you insane?! You’re trying to burn the divine source to keep me here by force even if you are going to die?”

“I have no choice, Artemis! If I can’t help you get purified, then I can only keep you here forever. I will never allow you to become the lapdog of the Undying Clan and cause great harm to the world. Don’t be afraid, sis is here to accompany you. You won’t be alone even if you’re dead.”

“You’re nuts!”

However, she saw that Athena kept burning her divine source.

Meanwhile, her energy was being blessed into Rashomon. After a while, she would be really destroyed together with it.

She looked at Alex, the only one present who could help her.

“Brat! Hey, human brat!”

“I’m talking to you! Come over and help me! If you help me stop her, I’ll accept a request from you! I can bless you with the blood of deity so that you can possess its bloodline and become a member of the divine tribe.”

“Humans can only yearn for something like this in their dreams, a fortune that you can only encounter once in a lifetime.”

Alex froze for a brief moment. He suddenly recalled the legend about Olympus.

“Could it be that you guys are not actual humans?” Alex was astonished.

“Initially, we were not humans, we were from the divine tribe,” Artemis proclaimed proudly. “Do you know what a divine tribe is? The divine tribe is innately on a high horse, looking down on the mortals. You humans, on the other hand, are just ant-like beings, part of who we look down on.”

Alex sneered. “Then, why become a lapdog for the Undying Clan? You even begged an ant, like me?”

Artemis was severely insulted. If she could, she would have slapped this disgusting ant to death ages ago.

However, she could not help but pin her hopes on him now. “It’s fine if you don’t want to be a member of the divine tribe. Look, am I beautiful? I can tell you that I’m the prettiest woman in the sanctuary. If you help me this time, I can marry you and give birth to a Divine Heir.”

Alex shook his head. “I’m already married. I’m a man who you shall never acquire!”

Artemis was infuriated to the point she wanted to vomit blood. Moreover, she spat blood for real.

Athena’s attack was no joke.

The number of demon bugs on her body kept increasing. Many demon bugs turned into black mists under Athena’s purification and permeated the area around her, refusing to disperse.

Just then, Alex was struck with an impulse.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2223

After forming a seal with his fingers, Alex brought out a large coffin from his forehead.

This was the exact Soul Collection Coffin that Ksitigarbha had passed down to him. The Soul Collection Coffin shook when the Abyssal Demon Bugs on Artemis’ body turned into a large mass of floating black mist after being defeated by Athena earlier.

Alex heard its call.

At this moment, the Soul Collection Coffin appeared. An opening appeared on the thick green coffin lid, sucking all those heinous black mist of deadly Chi into the Soul Collection Coffin. Only then did Alex suddenly remember that his Soul Collection Coffin was not simple, and there was someone lying inside, his disciple, Anna Coleman from Divine Constabulary.

He rushed over to check it. He saw the deadly Chi did not invade Anna’s body, but the Soul Collection Coffin had absorbed it right away.

Anna was wearing a black and white suit inside the coffin, a peaceful look adorning her face.

“Anna…”

Meanwhile, this shocked both Athena and Artemis as well.

“What is this?”

“This coffin of yours can absorb the origins of the Abyssal Demon Bugs?”

Athena froze for a while. Then, she suddenly laughed. “Artemis, you don’t have to die!”

Artemis was speechless.

However, the origin Athena had burned was too powerful. She could no longer reverse it.

“The true God awakens!”

“Athena’s Breath!”

The next second, Athena’s body abruptly burst into flames. Her entire body burst with golden light, and flames soared high into the sky.

A large figure condensed behind her. That was Athena’s original appearance, with a pair of huge wings enveloping her body. The long spear and the golden shield were on her as well.

“Sis, are you insane? No!” Artemis shouted.

Since the Soul Collection Coffin had sucked away a great amount of deadly Chi, Artemis’ mind had begun to recover a little.

“Artemis… This is the only way to save you!”

“There’s not much time left. I’ll use the remaining power to take you back to the sanctuary so you can have a complete rebirth.”

“Dummy!”

She shouted at Alex with her last voice.

“I want to entrust something to you. Take my Earth Scepter and send it to Olympus!”

“Our sanctuary is over there!” After saying those words, Athena’s new body died.

The massive golden figure turned into a stream of light and rushed into Artemis’ body.

Buzz!

The black mist vibrated. The Soul Collection Coffin absorbed a great amount of deadly Chi once again.

Artemis, who was covered with the demon bugs earlier, recovered to her flawless, fair appearance at once. She closed her eyes and broke free from Rashomon in the blink of an eye.

In a brief moment, she tore open a void rift. The rift was different from the normal void rifts as it was gold in color.

Artemis casually threw an object at Alex. The next second, she rushed into the void rift and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Clang!

The Earth Scepter fell to the ground.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2224

Buzz!

For a moment, Alex felt as though his mind had exploded.

The golden void rift that Artemis entered contained terrifying supreme energy. The moment she entered it, the blue outfit on her body shattered into pieces, turning into dust.

Hence, the last thing Alex saw was Artemis’ perfect, delicate, snow-white body. He even saw her buttocks.

‘Could this golden void rift lead to the sanctuary?’

‘How terrifying!’

What Alex just saw was not only Artemis’ tattered clothes, but some accessories on her head and magical treasures had turned into slag, showing the might of the space.

The rift, however, soon disappeared. Alex was holding an object in his hand. It was the one that Artemis had thrown at him before rushing into the rift.

It was not Athena’s scepter but a stone. It seemed to be a broken piece of rock, and it was very heavy.

Although it was a tiny stone no bigger than a thumb, its weight surpassed his imagination. Even with Alex’s current cultivation level, he could barely hold it… Well, even if it weighed more than a hundred and ten thousand pounds, Alex could grasp it easily.

In other words, that thumb-sized stone before his eyes weighed more than one hundred and ten thousand pounds.

‘Just now… She seemed to have used this thing to tear open the void…’

When Alex recalled the previous incidents, the more he believed that the stone was not as simple as it looked. He also wanted to see if he could use the use to tear open the void.

Nonetheless, he failed.

He had used various methods from Chi, from divine sense to even a blood-dripping technique to acknowledge its master, but to no avail. This bizarre stone refused to give any reaction.

However, he could imagine that this piece of stone must have had an extraordinary origin. Otherwise, Artemis, who was under Athena’s control, wouldn’t have thrown the stone at him in the end.

He put away the stone and temporarily placed it inside the storage ring. Then, Alex picked up the golden scepter that Athena had left behind.

This time, the moment Alex held the scepter, he felt everything before his eyes change, as if he had entered another time and space. What he saw was an expanse of majestic buildings with tall stairs and a towering shrine built among the mountains and hills. The ancient yet mysterious shrine before his eyes somewhat resembled the style of the Sunset Shrine. A white, huge full moon hung above his head.

Boom!

An explosion in the air broke the silence.

A mysterious, fiery red light suddenly appeared in the east of the sky. As if a meteor, it broke through the void, flashed across the sky, and even smashed through a few mountain peaks before finally falling into a deep mountain.

Alex saw Athena. It was a purple-haired lady with stunning beauty.

She found the meteor’s location and saw energy fluctuation with slight radiance inside a huge crater that puffed white smoke.

Athena walked over curiously and picked up a stone.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2225

It was this stone that was glowing faintly. This stone was the one that Alex had acquired now.

As the scenes continued, Alex saw many things… He saw Athena pick up the stone and mount it on her scepter. Athena even gained some kind of power from the stone and her combat power advanced by leaps and bounds. Her combat power was initially weak when she was at the place where she hailed from. It could be said that she was at rock bottom. However, after receiving the mysterious stone’s help, she became the supreme warrior there.

The place they were located was known as the Sanctuary.

However, an unforeseen incident occurred one day. Nobody knew what happened, but the divine power all over the Sanctuary diminished rapidly… Initially, the Sanctuary could acquire the replenishment of divine power from the distant starry sky through some unique method.

The distant starry sky was the homeland of Athena and the others. However, ever since that day, the Sanctuary could no longer absorb the divine power.

As part of the divine tribe, Athena and its members could not live without the replenishment of divine power. With the divine power decrease, the bodies of the tribe gradually became weaker to the point the Sanctuary would soon be unsuitable for survival. However, they had no other places to turn to except the Sanctuary.

In fact, it was because they were tribe members that had been banished by the divine tribe.

The only puzzling thing was that Athena did not seem affected in any way. Not only was she not weakened, but the divine power in her body increasingly grew. At the same time, the physical condition of Athena’s inseparable little sister, Artemis, was fine as well.

Time passed. Several months later…

The divine power inside the Sanctuary had become increasingly tenuous, yet it still hadn’t absorbed new divine power. At that time, the master of the Sanctuary, who was also Athena’s father, had made a decision to seal the Sanctuary.

Only through this way could they preserve the tribe members’ lives as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the tribe members entrusted the two physically healthy sisters, Athena and Artemis, with an important task to leave the Sanctuary and find a way for the cure.

The scenes were incoherent. They might be the ones that Athena wanted to show Alex.

Lastly, he saw Athena and Artemis discovering a large ancient tomb. As the scene changed, Alex seemed to see the two large ancient words that said “Human Sovereign.”

‘Could Athena and her sister have discovered the Human Sovereign Tomb?’

Alex was astonished.

Then, Athena found a spell formation. The bizarre stone she had gotten from there had a vigorous reaction. Then, the two sisters inexplicably arrived at the Infernal Realm. In the Infernal Realm, the two sisters encountered the attack of a mysterious person. That was in fact a Puppet Immortal… After that, after the Puppet Immortals had captured Artemis away, the injured Athena met a man.

He was the master of the Brahman Sect. This sect master saved Athena and told her a lot of information along with the origins of the mysterious stone mounted on her scepter.

That stone was a fragment of Six Eternities.

It was one of the fragments scattered all over the world after the Grand Emperor Rowan had broken the Six Eternities. Athena and Artemis could only enter the Infernal Realm because of this fragment.

The information on the scepter ended here. Although it was incomplete, it had revealed the crucial information. Alex could roughly figure out the obscure areas. However, only the involved party would know the more detailed contents.

‘So, Athena is really a good person!’

‘Now that she has given the fragment of Six Eternities to me and gone back to the Sanctuary on her own, can she still live a normal life?’

Alex did not know and could not guess it either.

The difference was too vast. Their state of mind and worldview differed too much, so it was hard for him to guess what it was from that level.

Alex placed the scepter into the storage ring. Then, he put the crown, golden battle suit, and Soul Collection Coffin on the ground.

Finally, Alex looked at Hermione on the ground.

This woman was quite fortunate. Donovan’s people were all dead, yet she was still alive. Just as Alex was about to walk over to take a closer look at her condition, there were a few thumping footsteps. Someone had come in.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2226

The footsteps got closer.

Soon, the people walked into the Sunset Shrine. Standing there, Alex looked over, only to realize that he knew the people who came.

They were people who had entered the Infernal Realm after receiving Phaseless’ invitation earlier. There were nine people in total. Meanwhile, Lucille and Emmerich, who had a good talk with Alex earlier, were surprisingly listed among the people.

He could see traces of battles to some extent on their bodies, and there were several injured people. They must have encountered Puppet Immortals on the way.

The people were astonished when they saw Alex alone, standing indifferently in the middle of the shrine, with the tall seat that Athena once sat behind him. Soon, the woman called Lucille yawned and came forward. “Oh my, it’s you, Brother. So, you have been here long ago. How long have you been here?”

Alex stretched out his hand. “Stop! I’m not acquainted with you. I can’t afford to speak the word ‘brother’.”

Lucille’s expression stiffened. “Brother, what are you talking about? Hadn’t we talked all the way when we came in? Could it be that you’re still upset about what we did to you before? Phaseless forced us to do so. I was just pretending.”

Alex did not reply. His eyes turned cold.

Since Alex had Neela in his hand, he dared to take the bull by the horns and confront people like Donovan and Phaseless. He even chose to fight Athena and Artemis head-on, so he showed no regard for these few Imminent Immortal people.

However, the other people did not think so.

It was a cultivator in a traditional robe. Alex seemed to have heard the introduction before, saying that this person was named Reine Swallow, a demon-catching cultivator from the Profound Sect. At this moment, he glanced at the surroundings of the Sunset Shrine and said, “Haha, what’s the point of talking nonsense to this kind of ant-like being? This huge shrine looks very mysterious and ancient with totally different styles. There’s definitely something good. Everyone, split up and find it. It will belong to the one who finds it.”

As soon as he said that, the group of nine scattered in all directions like wolves, to look for it.

Unfortunately, this was a shrine that Athena had built. Previously, it specifically provided a place for Athena to rest inside.

Other than the Goddess of Victory suit that Athena possessed, there was nothing else. From another perspective, this shrine was illusory. It was a shrine that could only be seen and touched after sunset. The shrine would disappear on the horizon when the sun rose, so what people saw would still be dilapidated ruins.

Hence, this group of people did not find anything. As for the Law Stones whatsoever, Alex had long taken them away.

On the other hand, the forbidden area of Rashomon that Athena had activated attracted all the Puppet Immortals. Then, it wiped out all of them in one fell swoop. Finally, even the blood and flesh were also digested and thrown into the spell formation. Now the interior of the shrine was clean without anything. Even the set-up of the divine steel and cage inside the forbidden area of Rashomon was gone.

“How can there be nothing at all?”

“Impossible. It’s absolutely impossible. This shrine is so majestic and exquisite. The owner is definitely a terrific big shot. Even if the owner simply left something behind, it will be more than enough for us. Hmph, I think someone has beaten us to the punch!”

Such words were clearly directed at Alex.

In an instant, all the nine people’s gazes targeted Alex.

Reine came forward and said, “Brat, quickly take out the items that you’ve acquired from this shrine, otherwise you won’t end up well. I can send you to meet Hades with one sword slash.”

Alex said indifferently, “Let me advise you to be kind, Otherwise you will regret it.”

“Are you f*cking threatening me?”

Lucille came over to play good cop. “Brother, don’t be a fool. Just as the saying goes, the wages of avarice is death. You shouldn’t lose your life without any reason just for some unjust fortune. Hurry up and take them out. Otherwise, you will really die.”

Alex swept a glance at the crowd and said, “If I say I didn’t take them, will you believe me?”

“Only dumb*ss will believe you!”

“Take them out immediately!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Just find the magical treasure storage on him. Erase the seal and pour out all of them to take a look. Won’t that be all clear?”

“Good idea, I agree!”

The one who spoke the last words was Lucille‘s senior, Emmerich.

“Go!”

Two people out of the nine people took the lead and rushed out.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2227

One was Reine Swallow, while the other was Emmerich Goldilocks.

“Don’t kill him first. Keep him alive,” said Reine. “There are many Puppet Immortal corpses outside, but we didn’t even see a piece of Law Stone. Let’s ask him what’s going on.”

“Alright!”

Reine instantaneously moved close to Alex and attacked with a horsetail whisk, restraining Alex. Meanwhile, Emmerich fought with bare fists right away.

Alex stood there, motionless.

The crowd even thought that this guy had been scared silly. After all, he, who had a weak cultivation level, had to face the joint attack of two Imminent Immortal experts, Reine and Emmerich. If it were someone else, the person would react the same as well.

But in the nick of time, something greenish golden that looked like a tail suddenly rushed out of Alex’s chest and slapped hard.

Wham!

Reine’s horsetail immediately burst from the slap.

Not only that, the tail broke through Reine’s defense and slapped him hard across the face, sending him flying.

Meanwhile, Emmerich, who was slightly slower, received a heavy blow.

The greenish golden tail turned into a sharp sword, piercing his throat viciously.

Whoosh!

The tail retracted. Of course, that was Neela’s tail.

Emmerich fell onto the ground hard.

If it were an ordinary person, they would’ve definitely not survived with a pierced throat. However, Emmerich was a great cultivator in the Imminent Immortal realm who had immense life force and strong regenerative ability. He did not die, but he just clutched his throat hard while seeking Lucille’s help desperately so that she could rescue him.

After all, even though he did not die temporarily from such an injury, he would still die if no one tended to him.

On the other hand, the other people looked at Alex in astonishment…

“What’s going on?”

“Did you guys clearly see the thing that poking out of his chest just now? It looked like a tail. What kind of tail was that? Is this guy actually a demon?”

“D*mn, so he’s a demon! Everyone, attack together!” Reine, who just got up, shouted furiously.

His mouth was severely injured, and his nose was broken from the slap. After suffering such a significant loss, how could he not be furious?

However, the situation before Alex suddenly changed at this moment, a Benares Dragon covered in greenish golden dragon scales and a terrifying aura rushed out of his body.

The body was enormous. Looking at it alone would send chills down the people’s spine.

Roar!

Neela roared angrily and stretched out a dragon claw, grabbing Reine in her hand at once. Then, she pinned him on the ground hard.

Reine was shocked to the core. He had been catching demons throughout his life and usually bragged to others that he wanted to catch a dragon. Even if it was a real dragon, it had to lie down before him.

But now, Neela’s dragon claw had pinned Reine on the ground, and he couldn’t move. Reine was instantly shocked, to the point his face turned pale and a stream of urine flowed out of his pants.

“It’s a Benares Dragon!”

“It’s the Benares Dragon from before. W-why is she with this brat? Could it be that the Benares Dragon has signed a contract with him?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2228

“It’s rude not to respond in kind!”

“Since they want my storage ring, there’s no reason for me not to want them. Neela, take out all of the magical treasure storage on them.”

Alex said it indifferently, but he did not ask Neela to kill them at once. He still did not know where to go if he wanted to leave the Infernal Realm.

With Neela’s overbearing performance, none of the nine people present dared to confront him head-on. However, it would kill them if he were to ask them to take out the magical treasure storage proactively.

Basically, the moment they took out the magical treasure storage, everyone looked as if they were bereaved of their children.

It was heart-wrenching!

Lucille cupped her storage ring, handed it over reluctantly, and begged Alex. “Brother, there’s my dowry and hard-earned savings inside the ring. I beg you. Please have mercy and don’t take them away, okay? You can ask me to do whatever you want. If you think my beauty catches your eyes, I’ll…”

Neela instantly grabbed the ring in her hand and handed it over to Alex.

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?”

“My Lord, here you go!”

Alex did not even look at it and put it away at once. Neela had long erased the soul imprint on it.

Just then, the first glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky of the Infernal Realm. Daybreak had come.

At the same time, the Sunset Shrine could not exist under the sun nor meet the light, as if it were a mirage. The moment the first ray of sunlight shone on the shrine, gradually disappearing, hiding in the light.

All of them saw it turn into an expanse of dilapidated ruins.

“Ahh!”

“How can this be? The palace suddenly disappeared!”

“It shouldn’t be. How could such a bizarre thing happen? I’ve just touched the shrine. That’s a real existence, so it’s absolutely impossible that it’s a fake…”

Alex did not say a word.

In fact, he marveled at such a huge shrine existing in between reality and illusion, as if it were hidden in an alternate dimension. Just how much strength would it need?

Hence, this was some sort of miracle.

How powerful could the divine tribe members like Athena and the others be?

He was really looking forward to it!

“Do any of you know how to get out of here?” Alex asked.

No one, however, seemed to know.

Everyone had entered the Infernal Realm for the first time, while an old puppet man had brought Alex in here. He could now confirm that, in fact, the old puppet man was also under Athena’s control.

Someone said, “We’ll go find Phaseless right now. He brought us in here, so he definitely knows how to get out.”

Alex said, “There’s no need to find him. He’s already dead.”

“What? He’s dead?”

“Then… Go and find Donovan Orlando of the Sun Shrine. He’s the young master of the Sun Shrine with lofty status and endless resources. He should have a solution,” someone else suggested.

Alex shook his head again. “There’s no need to look for him too. Donovan Orlando left first through a special method, whereas the other disciples of the Sun Shrine are all dead.”

“What?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2229

The crowd exclaimed again. It was not because of the death of Sun Shrine’s disciples, but Donovan Orlando could leave right away without going through the teleportation portal. Such capability was simply overpowering.

Then, Alex heard about Donovan’s greatness from the words of the crowd…

He was a once in a lifetime genius in cultivation and known as the Chosen One. Blessed with luck, he had been attracting all sorts of good luck and endless magical treasures on him all the way.

It was even said that the Sun Shrine, which was initially not a powerful sect, had soared into the top-notch great sect in the Western Ridge because of Donovan’s unbelievable luck. Even the sanctuaries with the legacy of tens of thousands of years like Yorkshire Palace had to show respect for Donovan. Moreover, they had taken the initiative to give the Holy Maiden, Ynes Larkin, to Donovan as his cultivation partner.

‘The Holy Maiden of Yorkshire Palace is going to become Donovan Orlando’s cultivation partner?’

Alex was a little startled. Wasn’t that the naked woman he accidentally pounced on at Yorkshire Palace?

Never did he expect that she would be Donovan’s fiancée. He still kept a bra of the Holy Maiden on him.

‘Hehe. This b*stard Donovan Orlando tried to rob my Chaos Beads. I countered him by robbing him back in the end. This vengeance can’t be erased. Hmph! If he’s going to give me a hard time, I’ll show him the bra to piss him off!’

Once Alex thought about such a scene, not only did he have slight anticipation, but he hoped that the guy would come over to look for him.

At this moment, Lucille suddenly said, “When Phaseless brought us in earlier, I made a mark I wonder if the teleportation portal is over there?”

“Then, let’s hurry back to take a look. I don’t want to stay in this hellish place for a moment longer,” Emmerich shouted weakly.

Neela’s tail had pierced his throat, but he had managed to stay alive with great difficulty. Now, he wished dearly that he could return to the sect so he would never meet Alex and Neela again. It had severely traumatized him.

Alex did not even wish to kill these people.

Tonight, there were more than enough dead in the Sunset Shrine.

Alex turned around to look at Hermione. Surprisingly, the wound on her body had healed. The power of laws that existed in her wound had strangely disappeared.

Neela, who had turned back into the woman form again, said via telepathy, “When Athena activated the formation blueprint at the forbidden area of Rashomon earlier, she must have stirred up the laws and purified the power of laws in her wound too! This woman is so lucky. She’s tenacious!”

After a while, she seemed to have discovered something. “This woman seems to be from the Nine Tails tribe.”

Alex smiled. “This is probably why Xienna Stoermer accepted her as a disciple. By the way, I found a senior over here. She’s my father’s disciple over here, and she is also from the Nine-Tails bloodline. I’ve checked her bloodline’s power. It’s extremely formidable! In addition, this person named Hermione Yggdrasill is a member of the Plenilune Sect. And, rumor has it that the founder of the Plenilune Sect was Chantelle Seay, an expert from the Phoenix Sect in ancient times.”

Neela gasped. “Chantelle Seay?”

Alex asked, “You know her?”

Neela shook her head. “I’ve heard rumors, but I never had the chance to meet her! She was Grand Emperor Rowan’s first wife and was known as the Nine-Tails Empress. Even if she was not a Heavenly Emperor, she was not much different from him. Unexpectedly, she had even founded a sect over here. So, she must be a supreme big shot, right? After all, she was an existence that could bring countless sanctuaries to their knees just by revealing her name.”

Neela’s words shocked Alex instead. Never did he expect that Chantelle’s background would be so deep.

At that moment, Hermione finally woke up.

Eventually, Alex had the opportunity to ask her some questions. “Hermione Yggdrasill, let me ask you. When your Plenilune Sect forced the Usoro family and me to retreat to Misty Swamp, what happened to the Usoro family afterward?”

Since Hermione had just woken up, she was still a little confused.

She touched her bosom. “I’m… Fine..?”

Alex said with a nod, “Yes, you’re fine.”

“You’re the one who saved me?”

Alex shrugged and thought, ‘In fact, you’re fortunate. But I certainly won’t deny it.’

Hermione’s body lay exposed as her clothes were torn. So, she hurriedly took out a piece of clothing from the magical treasure storage to cover herself.

“I don’t know about the rest of the Usoro family, but the Plenilune Sect has captured Frostine Usoro.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2230

“What?”

Alex was astonished.

If the Plenilune Sect had captured Frostine, could she still survive then?

“When was she captured? How was she captured?”

In this regard, Hermione Yggdrasill did not conceal anything without knowing if she was grateful to Alex for saving her life. Hermione told Alex that after Xienna had saved her, she appeared outside Misty Swamp right away. Frostine had been captured when she met the master of the Plenilune Sect, Jenson Springer, again. She heard that Frostine had taken the initiative to be captured in order to save her brother.

Wham!

Alex smashed the ground with a punch, abruptly digging a massive hole. The senior was very nice to him.

It was the same for the Usoro family. Although there were some dissidents in the family, most of them revered him, the young master. The old man, especially, and a few lineal descendants were even willing to pay the price of their life for his sake. It was also true that if it weren’t for his presence, the Usoro family might still be fine.

“I have to see her, dead or alive!”

“If any mishap happens to Senior, I’ll have the entire Plenilune Sect buried along with her!”

The Infernal Realm was not large. At least it was no match for the Spiritual Valley Dungeon that he had entered for the first time. After all, it was a just place to seal the Brahman Sect’s puppets.

Athena’s battle seemed to have brought all the contaminated Puppet Immortals into the Sunset Shrine, such that they did not even encounter a single puppet when the group went to look for that mark of Lucille’s.

Half a day later, the crowd arrived at the destination. As soon as they reached, Alex knew that they had found the right place. There was a strong fluctuation of spatial attributed energy. Soon, he found a formation blueprint for the teleportation portal.

While standing on the formation blueprint, Alex noticed that the fragment of Six Eternities that Athena had given him was emitting heat and trembling. It should have sensed something and triggered a chain reaction, causing the complex talisman patterns of the formation blueprint on the ground to lit up.

‘This is…’

‘What a complex formation blueprint. It’s even a hundred times more advanced than the formation blueprint runes that Crazy Crone carved!’

This was undoubtedly a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Alex immediately put aside all the distracting thoughts and concentrated his mind. He bonded with the world to achieve absolute tranquility.

It seemed to be those monks in meditation… But in an even more profound state.

The formation blueprint’s runes lit up rapidly while following a certain indescribable order. However, Alex sensed that this order was the true core of the formation blueprint. Now, he had no way to comprehend them one by one, but he could imprint this process in his mind through his superior memory.

Buzz!

A teleportation portal gradually opened up when all the runes lit up.

Alex opened both his eyes and retracted his spiritual consciousness.

He currently understood that a fragment of Six Eternities was buried underneath the formation blueprint. In contrast, the necessary condition to activate the spell formation was possessing the fragment of Six Eternities.

Now, Alex suddenly understood something.

In fact, the reason the Phaseless Dweller could take people out of the Infernal Realm earlier should be because of Athena’s acquiescence. She had even lent a hand. Otherwise, the teleportation portal would never open up at all. Hence, Athena had created an avatar to go outside as Mask and infiltrated Phaseless’ team… He couldn’t understand why Athena had to do that.

Now that she was dead, it was unknown if her soul still survived. This had all become somewhat of a mystery. As for Phaseless… Oh well. That was, in fact, Artemis. But why did she run outside to summon so many people into the Infernal Realm? That was another mystery that he could not find the answer to.

Whoosh!

Alex passed through the teleportation portal first.
