The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2401
“That b*tch, Ynes Larkin, is flirtatious and has been adulterous with a man. Now, she has even colluded with the undead demon beasts and has pulled such a great stunt on us. She really deserves death!”
Countless people shouted as their eyes widened in rage. However, many people died under the slap of the great shark right away.
Alex and Ynes, who had fled to the distance, were so frightened that their hearts beat twice as fast.
“That great shark is not the Ghost Shark’s father, but its son. How strange!”
“Even stranger is that this great shark can speak human language and looks intelligent. An undead demon beast… Didn’t someone say that one would lose its intelligence and become a creature that only has the instinct of a beast left after contamination by the Undying Clan?”
Alex and Ynes discussed quietly as doubt filled their minds.
Ynes couldn’t understand the undead demon beasts well, either. Or rather, not many nowadays really understood the undead demon beasts as nobody had dared to approach the Endless Sea since ancient times. On the other hand, the undead demon beasts had never been to the shore either.
During their brief conversation, the great shark had gone on a killing spree.
The coalition of besiegement that Peacock Tribe had brought comprised as many as a thousand people. Now, however, most of them were dead, with the remaining hundred or so scattered in all directions, fleeing with all their might.
Meanwhile, the great shark seemed no longer interested in these minions. Instead, it circled around the Ghost Shark. Until a specific moment, it seemed to realize that its father was no longer its father. Instead, it had become a body to house someone else’s soul after death… Although dead, it even had to be used by someone.
It emitted a roar. Suddenly, it swallowed the Ghost Shark into its stomach in one gulp. Then, it turned around and looked in the direction of the faraway Alex.
It had made Alex and Ynes into its archenemy.
‘F*ck!’
Alex’s heart skipped a beat as a warning surged through his body. Soon, his consciousness felt a powerful soul power lockng on it. It must be that great shark, not to mention that kind of overwhelming malice and murderous intent. It had definitely treated him as an enemy for killing his father.
“Hurry up and go!”
Once Alex hugged Ynes’ slim waist, his feet lightened, using the strongest Instant Teleportation coupled with the blessing of runes to flee as quickly as he could.
“Ouch!”
Ynes screamed while lying horizontally. Not only was such a posture extremely uncomfortable, but it was also ambiguous and awkward.
Alex said, “Stop that ‘ouch.’ When you were hugging me from the back, you squeezed so tightly it almost broke my waist. I’m just returning the favor.”
As he said that, he even pinched and touched her with his huge hand.
“It’s so fine!”
“The waist has a totally different proportion from her chest!”
He could still think of such things in this life-and-death situation, so Ynes hit him twice. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Ah, alright. I’ve been talking nonsense. This waist is not fine at all, and the bosoms are very small.”
“I’ll beat you to death!”
As a beauty, especially in this area of Western Ridge, she was nicknamed the first beautiful fairy of Western Ridge. Regardless of her facial appearance and body temperament, her gorgeousness was peerless and top-notch. Hence, many men kept thinking about her. Although she usually did not mention it, she was quite confident in her appearance. Now that he had said such things to her, how could she not be angry?
“Be quiet for a while. We’re still running for our lives. If we’re buried inside the fish’s belly later, that will be extremely miserable.”
The great shark pursued them closely.
However, Ynes suddenly discovered a problem. “Hey, you’re running in the wrong direction. Why are you running further away from the land? You should run back!”
Alex replied, “I can’t run back! The only chance of survival lies ahead.”
After he said that, he looked back and made a plan… If he could tame this great shark, crossing the Endless Sea should have a higher success rate, right?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2402
Whoosh!
“Hurry up! Faster, faster! I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to die!”
Ynes, in Alex’s arms, gazed at the great shark behind her and screamed anxiously.
Alex panted heavily, but he was actually quite speechless.
This woman had a scream so lewd, if someone oblivious to the situation were to hear it, he would think they were both having sex!
However, the situation was indeed dangerous. The great shark held such bottomless resentment toward Alex and Ynes since it wanted to avenge its father’s murder. Not only was it chasing them wildly, it even cursed them to the point of obnoxiousness. Unscrupulous couple scum of mankind, maggots in the squat toilet… It really had no morality. Alex’s green veins twitched vigorously upon hearing it. Even Ynes flew into a rage.
It was such a massive, powerful shark, somehow leaving it a relatively high-end existence in the food chain. When they saw it raised its hand and killed nearly a thousand cultivators earlier, it could even be a boss-tier monster.
Consequently…
It turned into something that shouted abuse in public right behind Alex and Ynes.
They were simply taken by surprise. It was clearly an expert, yet its image plunged at once. Even if it was an undead demon beast living in the Endless Sea… Such behavior…
Wham!
Once Alex stood in place and condensed his Chi, a huge phantasm emerged behind him. It was a raging hundred foot tall Vajra… Back on earth, Alex had once unleashed this kind of phantasm in America, a tale that had become legend to what the people would remember. Now, he was using it once again.
When the Vajra Phantasm raised its hand and fiercely landed its palm on the shark with overwhelming force.
“The Buddha’s phantasm?”
“Hmph, you want to stop me with only a broken-down Vajra? Die, you ants!”
Completely fearless, the great shark slapped downward right away. In an instant, the phantasm broke, falling slowly before gradually disappearing.
However, Alex and Ynes’ figures had disappeared from the scene.
It was an… illusion?
No, it was a mirage!
“D*mn it!”
“You unscrupulous couple… You murderers! I shall eat you both!”
The great shark roared, locking its divine sense in Alex’s direction as it ramped up its chase.
Finally, Alex saw the ancient undersea city of Atlantis.
Ynes was astonished. “Where is this?”
Alex told her the truth.
“Oh my gosh! So this place is the legendary Atlantis?” Ynes gasped. “Rumor has it that the most powerful race in the last era of the ancient times were Atlanteans. I heard that divine blood flowed in their bodies and it could be traced back to ancient times. They were also the main force of the last battle in ancient times… But I didn’ t expect it would be sunken here.”
Alex was surprised. “You seem to know a lot.”
“We have a lot of these ancient books in our Yorkshire Palace. After all, the palace is also a super sect passed down from ancient times. Our people used to fight side by side with Grand Emperor Rowan and the Phoenix Empress…”
However, when she talked about it, she recalled that she’d been expelled by Yorkshire Palace and hunted down, and her heart sank.
Meanwhile, Alex rushed out of the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation right away.
Boo-hoo!
The great shark’s huge body hurriedly came to a halt, stopping at the periphery of the ancient city of Atlantis. Its eyes were red-rimmed as it kept swimming around. It did not dare to approach the city, seemingly under the grip of great anxiety.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2403
“Huh? That foul mouthed shark didn’t follow us.” Ynes said after looking back.
“This vicious fish seems apprehensive about this place and doesn’t dare approach.” Alex frowned. “I have to think of a way to lure it in.”
The Holy Maiden, Ynes, jumped in shock. “You still want to lure it here? Were we not miserable enough during our escape?”
Alex said, “This guy is of great use!”
However, no matter how Alex tried to lure the shark, it was unfazed. It even gave Alex a sideways glance. That shark’s face was also very emotional. Disdainful, it opened its mouth to speak in human language. “Brat, you’re a descendant of Atlantis City, are you? You’re like a contemptible rascal. Do you think I’m as stupid as you, getting lured into the huge formation? Let me tell you. From now on, don’t you guys think about coming out. I’ve called the big army and will defend this city to our last.”
Alex and Ynes were rendered speechless.
But soon, they understood what the big army was. It was unknown what kind of trick that shark had used, but it had somehow called a vast army comprised of countless undead demon beasts that poured in from all directions.
There were turtles as giant as islands, humongous swordfish with only bones left in their bodies, half-headed squid monsters, and even corals that had cultivated into undead creatures… There were all sorts of creatures, and each emitted a terrifying aura.
Alex noticed that all the undead demon beasts had a ball of bright blue flames in them.
Ynes told Alex that this was the soul fire of the undead demon beast, enabling these sea demon beasts complete mobility and the ability to cultivate even if their flesh had long decayed. Moreover, they also possessed a portion of the Undying Clan’s will. Once their soul fire was extinguished, the undead demon beasts would also lose their lives.
“How do I extinguish this soul fire?” Alex asked.
Ynes whispered, “I once read an ancestor’s handwritten note in the scripture library of Yorkshire Palace. It’s arduous to deal with an undead demon beast’s soul fire. Only the Church of Holy Light and Buddhist cultivation techniques can restrain them. Otherwise, you have to obliterate their flesh to drag the soul fire out, then exterminate it with mental attacks.” Alex was overjoyed.
This was good news.
However, too many undead demon beasts had come over, each of them very powerful. The densely packed demon beats surrounded the ancient undersea city circle after circle and blotted out the sky, leaving an apocalyptic vibe in the air.
“The key point is still that sh*tty immoral shark If we could destroy it, the others shouldn’t pose a threat to us,” Alex said.
To his surprise, the great shark heard him. Thus, it went through the roof and began cursing loudly.
Alex noticed that the other undead demon beasts did not seem to be able to speak, like dead creatures. Only that shark was bizarre and eloquent like a loudmouth that shouted abuse in public. The most important thing was that it didn’t possess the blue soul fire.
“Ignore it for now and let it bark here. It doesn’t have the guts to enter the ancient city, anyway,” Alex said.
Hearing that, the great shark provoked him by rushing into the ancient city with a swish.
“I’m coming in!”
However, it retreated quickly. “I’m going out again.”
“I’m coming in again. What are you going to do about it?”
Boom!
It was then that a flash of dazzling lightning, appearing out of thin air, struck at the great shark.
After letting out a horrible scream, a large charred area with blood oozing out appeared on the shark’s back that had been struck by lightning. Fortunately, it wasn’t struck to death. It hurriedly ran out of the ancient city’s periphery with a lingering fear.
Alex was a little shocked. It turned out that there was actually such kind of protection in the ancient city.
“Haha, you son of a b*tch! You were so ostentatious, only to be struck from head to toe by lightning. Come again if you think you can!”
“I’m not going to accompany you. Go inside and continue abusing your ancestors!”
Alex took Ynes and rushed into the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation.
At the same time, a commotion broke out in the great world.
A great shark that had been lured out of the Endless Sea had slapped a big shot of the Peacock Tribe to death. Ten or so demon immortals from the Peacock Tribe had also died a horrible death in the Endless Sea, and about nine hundred experts from the Western Ridge had been killed in the battle as well.
The Peacock Tribe’s people wore mourning outfits as the entire tribe was grieving.
Meanwhile, people from sacred mountains, sanctuaries, and ancient sects in various regions of the great world and those big shots who initially wanted to cross the Endless Sea to explore the sacred golden mountain changed their plans and dared not venture there recklessly.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2404
At the Western Ridge of the great world, Ynes stood at the forefront once again. Someone had been spreading exaggerated news about Alex and herself embracing each other. This had apparently attracted a great shark from the Endless Sea that eventually massacred over a thousand allied forces.
The Holy Maiden of Yorkshire Palace, the number one fairy in the Western Ridge, was initially the focus of everyone’s discussion.
However, her scandals emerged one after another to the point of notoriety. She would probably never recover her innocence, especially after the disciples of Yorkshire Palace and the Sun Shrine slandered her strenuously.
On the Fairy List of the Western Ridge, there were also two maidens that ranked closely after Ynes. One was the Holy Maiden of the Smokey Moon Sect, Cheria Hearfilia, whereas the one ranked third was the Green Cloud Sect’s ingenious disciple, Tifa Thorton. Both of them stepped forward to declare their stance.
“I shall announce my withdrawal from the Fairy List! It’s blasphemous to be on the same list with such an immoral woman like Ynes Larkin!” Cheria announced loudly.
Tifa, on the other hand, said, “Ynes Larkin not a virgin, so how could she be on the Fairy List? The Fairy List doesn’t live up to its name. Let’s not talk about it.”
Under the starry sky of the great world, there were also workers similar to the ones from the news media. Some super sects had spent efforts to establish media platforms in order to increase their influence, their methods superior to Wasteland’s technology corporations.
For example, a huge platform in the great world called Star Wireless manufactured something similar to cell phones. It was more advanced and coupled with spiritual cultivation, it didn’t need to be charged and could be used once one input spiritual energy.
The communication device that the Peacock Tribe used said item.
The Fairy List in various places was something that Star Wireless had compiled. Now that Cheria and Tifa had stepped forward to express their stances, the people of Star Wireless responded proactively and issued a notice at once, stating that Ynes was a hypocrite and excelled in deception and disguise. In fact, deep down, she was black-hearted and had an indecent private life. After a unanimous vote from the judges of Star Wireless, they disqualified Ynes and would never employ her.
***
Of course, Ynes did not know about those situations right now.
In fact, at this point, she no longer cared about the Fairy List or whatsoever.
But now, she saw a person, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens.
She thought that the Fairy List, Beauty List, Holy Maiden List, and the likes were subpar. It was a slap in the face when those women on the lists compared her with the ones before her. This should be the first beauty and the number one fairy under the starry sky.
That kind of otherworldly temperament alone was like the charm of a banished fairy who descended to the mortal realm. She alone deserved to be called the real fairy.
However, the Mystic Maiden had a little impression of Ynes, so she glanced at Alex and said, “You really possess remarkable abilities. You’ve forcibly snatched her from someone else’s hand.”
Once Ynes heard that, she instantly thought of countless possibilities. “Did you premeditate all of this?” she asked Alex coldly. “… To push me to the end of the rope so I could only look for you in the end?”
The moment she thought about all those being conspiracies that Alex had arranged in advance, she could not help shuddering.
This man was simply terrifying.
Alex looked innocent. “What were you thinking? Am I that kind of person?”
Pigsy, at the side, whose cultivation had now come to an end, pointed at Alex and said, “Missy, I can testify. He definitely premeditated it because he fancied your flesh. Oink, oink!”
“Oink, my *ss!” Alex kicked Pigsy helplessly several hundred meters away. “Miss Larkin, I swear on my personality that I didn’t know you at all before the accident under the waterfall that day… I don’t know if you’ve searched the forbidden area behind that waterfall, but if you have, you will surely believe me.”
“Pooh! Little minion, what personality do you even have? You even scrambled for pigs’ food. You’re morally rotten. Missy, you must discern the moral baseline of this guy. There’s no moral baseline at all. If you going to marry someone, be in anybody but him. I, Pigsy, am the Mr. perfect among pigs. Why don’t you wait until I transform into a human and marry me? I’m always moral,” Pigsy said as it ran back. It even snorted, extremely dissatisfied with Alex’s action of kicking it.
Ynes looked helpless.
To her unpleasant surprise, a pig had just said that it wanted to marry her? Oh, the absurdity!
Alex grabbed Pigsy’s ear. “Do you know there’s a saying that goes Pigsy checks itself in the mirror?”
Pigsy stared at him, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“You won’t be able to please anyone.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2405
“F*ck!”
“You’re not even human, yet you still want to take someone so gorgeous as your wife so she could sleep with you in the pigsty?”
“You’re severely insulting pigs. Who says I sleep in a pigsty? I sleep on a lavish bed made of cold jade. It’s a high-end product you’ve never seen before!”
Alex stared at it. “What the hell?”
Bam!
Pigsy opened its mouth and spat out a huge bed. It was really a bed made of cold jade. Alex noticed an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this bed. Wasn’t this the Fairy Doctor’s bed?
Silver light flashed past his eyes, and after careful discernment, he realized it was not her bed.
However, there was indeed a formation blueprint carved out of ancient runes on the bed. It was exactly the same as the one in the hands of the Fairy Doctor.
‘Were they mass-produced?’ Alex doubted the fact
On the other hand, Pigsy had an expression of looking at a pauper. “Did you see that? Did it enrich your knowledge? This is the lavish bed made of cold jade where ancient runes are carved. It’s a pleasure to lie on…”
It demonstrated on the spot by lying on the bed and rolling around.
As a result, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens pointed at the bed. “This bed is mine.”
“What?”
Pigsy jumped up and looked conflicted.
“This is my bed. How did it become yours?”
The Mystic Maiden, who was completely unabashed about hogging the belongings of others, told him, “Wash the bed clean for me and give it to Alex so he can put it in the mind palace.”
Pigsy’s face fell as Alex burst into laughter.
“Old pig, I already told you to be low-key, but you insisted on showing off your wealth. Great, right? It’s gone! Serves you right!” Alex immediately put away the jade bed.
“Argh! My bed! Rockefeller, give it back to me! I’ll fight it out with you!”
Bam!
Thus, Alex kicked it away and lashed out a handprint. The Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation changed and temporarily sealed Pigsy in a corner where he could hear and talk but not move.
Alex took out the corpses of the Peacock Tribe and began concocting them.
Ynes looked stunned. “Are you really going to eat peacock meat? ”
“Could it be that I’m grilling them for fun?” Alex replied. “The Peacock Tribe belongs to ancient mythical creatures. Although these two are just in Immortalization, their flesh is almost considered heavenly treasures. They’re even more nourishing than ordinary Blood Energy Pills. They will go to waste if not eaten.”
While eating, he told the Mystic Maiden about the situation outside.
“The undead demon beasts besieged the city, and there’s a great shark without the soul fire… Let me take a look.”
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens understood the spell formation well, so she did not need Alex’s help and could enter and exit it at will. After taking a look at the situation outside, she came back and said, “Your idea is decent. If you want to cross the Endless Sea, you’ll have to make that shark work its a*s off. Prepare yourself. In a short while, we’ll be going to catch the fish!”
She sounded as if they were just going to catch a small fish.
Alex reminded, “That shark is very powerful. It’s something that could crush the experts of the Peacock Tribe with its slap. So how are we going to catch it?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2406
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens looked around and snorted lightly. “Didn’t you get the approval of the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation? Could it be that you still lack confidence in this spell formation? It’s just a slightly bigger saltfish. What is there to worry about?”
She said that as a matter of course while playing it down.
Alex knew her origin, so he was not too surprised. However, Ynes was stunned and secretly sized up the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens with her beautiful eyes. Other than feeling slightly ashamed of her inferiority, she could not understand why Mystic Maiden would brag so much.
“Who… Is she to you?” Ynes secretly asked Alex.
“Oh, my elder sister!” Alex was mindful of his dignity, so he answered as such.
The Mystic Maiden glanced at Alex, not intending to correct him or explain anything. However, the unmovable Pigsy, sealed at the side, could not help emitting pig squeals. “Little minion, you really know how to blow your own trumpet. What elder sister? That’s your master. You’re just a slave to your master.”
Alex’s face darkened. “Pigsy, I’ve made up my mind. We’ll cross the Endless Sea to find that great opportunity, but you’ll be sealed here forever to become an Atlantis City steward.”
The old pig heard him. How could that work?
He already felt it extremely unbearable to be sealed here, even for a moment. If he was going to be sealed here forever, he might as well just die.
“Ahem. Boss, I was wrong. You aren’t a slave. I’m the slave. Let me out first. It’s so unbearable…”
The old pig jabbered, begging loudly for mercy.
Alex did not let it go. Instead, he even isolated its voice and picked up the grilled peacock meat before feasting on it. He also tore a large piece of meat for Ynes, by the way.
At first, Ynes was still a little conflicted as she thought about the peacock that had possessed a human body. When she thought about it, it was not unlike eating human flesh. However, this grilled meat was fragrant and carried wisps of spiritual energy. That energy seemed to carry a barbequed aroma, giving her some sort of pleasure when she sniffed it. Under Alex’s encouragement, she bit a little off and ate it. A few seconds later, she could not stop eating it.
“This meat… Is really fragrant!”
“After eating it, my entire body is comfortably warm, and there’s a surge of energy swirling around it.”
“Oh gosh, why do I feel like I’m about to transcend?”
Ynes’ cultivation base had been wandering in the fifth realm to the Imminent Immortal, a step away from the sixth realm. However, she failed to transcend all the time. Never did she expect that there would be signs of transcendence after eating the peacock’s meat.
This was simply miraculous meat.
Mystic Maiden did not eat it, but she gave a rather fascinated gaze.
After Alex had devoured most of the peacocks, she told Alex they were heading out to catch fish.
Alex looked at the old pig and smiled as he took away Ynes.
“Oink, oink, oink!”
“Don’t leave me behind! Hey, there’s still me! Alex Rockefeller, you b*stard! How dare you seal me here for real?! I shall curse you! Your son shall be born without his pee-pee! Argh!”
However, it was sealed there, and not even a sound could come out.
***
The great shark at the periphery of the ancient city soon noticed Alex and the others who came out of the spell formation.
As this guy’s humongous body trembled, the undersea rippled. Once it roared, all the undead demon beasts also followed the rhythm and unleashed their aura, filling the surroundings with murderous intent as well as the aura of the Undying Clan.
It even began yelling and cursing whatever was unpleasant.
Thus, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens suffered a torrent of abuse to the point that her face darkened.
Meanwhile, Alex, next to her, put on a strange look because that foul-mouthed shark surprisingly said that the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens was his old, shameless admirer who served the same man with another woman… He really did not know how a shark could know so many things?
“I’m going to blow its mouth off!” Mystic Maiden said coldly.
The next moment, she pulled Alex’s hand.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2407
Of course, this wasn’t for the sake of expressing intimacy, but Alex had the sword heart of the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation. She grabbed Alex’s hand and resonated with his soul, using her soul power to borrow the authority of the sword’s heart.
During the soul resonance, the two people would briefly intercommunicate through their souls. They could know the other person’s current thoughts.
Immediately afterward, the Mystic Maiden’s soul trembled, and an impact of divine sense landed on Alex’s sea of consciousness like a lightning bolt, shocking Alex to the point he was in spiritual pain. It was because Alex was actually thinking, ‘Her fingers are so long and slender, and her skin is smooth. How did she do this? She’s clearly a pile of tree leaves. This body is stunning. I wonder how the other areas feel like.’
Would the Mystic Maiden calm down when she sensed his thoughts?
Although her identity was not top-notch, she had an impressive background. Who had dared to blaspheme her like this all these years?
Alex Rockefeller was the first!
“Put away those strange thoughts of yours and concentrate,” the Mystic Maiden scolded.
“Oh, I was just thinking about that casually. I didn’t say it out loud. The human mind is inherently more divergent,” Alex said awkwardly. Then, he could not help thinking about her body again. This time, he even compared her with his wife, Dorothy, to identify whose legs were the longest and figure curvier. He then concluded that Dorothy’s chest circumference was definitely superior. That bosom of the Mystic Maiden was too flat compared to her.
Smack!
The infuriated Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens slapped Alex across the face and knitted her brows. “Whose did you say was too flat?”
Alex was helpless. “I didn’t say anything.”
Ynes next to them was even more inexplicably shocked as she did not know what had happened. Why did Alex get slapped all of a sudden?
The great shark looked a little dumbfounded watching them. Its bloodshot eyes widened as it laughed heartily. “Great! What a good slap! It’d be best if you slap him to death! You’re an unscrupulous couple anyway!”
Alex finally put the thoughts out of his mind and concentrated, chanting the Great Compassion Mantra.
The Mystic Maiden glanced at the massive amounts of undead demon beasts and snorted coldly as she could already temporarily control the spell formation. So, she fiercely stomped her foot, causing an expanse of light curtain that looked like a nebula to surge out of the Seventy- two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation. As the great shark narrowed its eyes, it had a foreboding.
It needed to turn around and escape right away. However, it was too late.
That expanse of light curtain instantly expanded and covered the entire ancient city of Atlantis. Then, it even spread the surroundings at a speed faster than the speed of light. At this moment, even people in several regions around the Endless Sea could see the bursting light from the direction of the Endless Sea. As the starry sky seemed to receive the attraction of some mysterious force, starlight descended from the void.
The starlight descended from the infinite and distant void of the universe, sinking into the Endless Sea.
Roar!
The great shark shouted and ran away desperately.
As it saw all the undead demon beasts that it had called over were covered by the expanse of the light curtain.
Lightning bolts with surging murderous radiance descended. A large number of undead demon beasts fell like harvested wheat and turned completely into nothingness.
How terrifying!
It fled with all might, but it was still slow compared to the spread of the light curtain.
Swoosh!
The light curtain enveloped the great shark as well. Thunderous might descended.
However, the lightning bolts only struck at its mouth. After knocking out a mouthful of teeth, the lightning stopped, its bolts turning into a cage, trapping it inside.
The great shark was reluctant to get caught, so it rammed around. However, only the flesh that had been struck by lightning ripped apart. The tactic of Immortal-slaying Formation could even slay Heavenly Kings. On the other hand, the shark’s realm was far inferior to big shots of such stature.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens approached the shark. At this moment, she seemed surprised, looked at the shark’s tail, and smiled happily. “I never expected that this bone would fall on you.”
Alex asked, “What kind of bone?”
The Mystic Maiden did not say anything, raised her hand, and pressed the void, causing the great shark to wail in misery. Golden light burst from its tail, and a golden bone as big as a finger flew out from the inside
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2408
That was…
Alex was shocked. This piece of bone that emerged from the great shark’s tail earlier immediately released boundless radiance, rippling over with boundless divine-attributed coercion.
In an instant, Alex and Ynes were a little overwhelmed, to the point that they involuntarily retreated with slightly unstable footsteps. It was especially true for Ynes. If Alex had not pulled her arm, she would have fallen to her knees right away.
It was just a piece of bone, but how could it be so powerful?
Both of them were astonished.
At this moment, the Mystic Maiden used a secret method to hold the golden bone in mid-air. She did not touch it with her fingers. However, with her slightly trembling body, it seemed that she was struggling with her mental strength.
Meanwhile, the great shark whose golden bone had been removed roared and kept cursing. It was, however, trapped within the lightning cage. Breaking out of was impossible.
One more point was that after removing the golden bone from its body, its aura suddenly dropped, its realm declined, and even its body size shrank sharply. It was still as humongous as an island earlier, yet it had shrunk more than a hundred times in the blink of an eye.
“What exactly is this bone?”
“It could actually cause a shark such a drastic change?!” Alex and Ynes were wide-eyed. Indeed, such a scene went slightly beyond their imagination.
The Mystic Maiden ignored the shark’s horrible scream and furious curses. Instead, she held that piece of bone and said to Alex, “Little minion, consider yourself lucky. Do you know what this is? This is Ymir’s Divine Bone!”
Alex looked dumbfounded. “This small piece of Ymir’s Divine Bone had such stunning effect? It could even push this shark to such a high level?”
The Mystic Maiden sneered. “You probably don’t know what Ymir’s Divine Bone is! Such sinful creatures like sharks can’t use a sacred object of the Path of God like Ymir’s Divine Bone to its fullest. I don’t know how it managed to find the bone and turn it into a part of its body, but Ymir is the ancestor of mankind, one of the human emperors. A piece of his bone naturally can’t merge with a shark. I can only say it was temporarily stored within the shark’s body, but even so, it could allow this shark to be reborn and have such a drastic change.”
Dumbfounded, Alex asked weakly, “What if it merges with the human body?”
The Mystic Maiden shook her head. “I don’t know either!”
Then, she smiled. “But I’ll find out soon.”
Alex stared at the piece of divine bone. It would be impossible if he were to say that he did not have any thoughts about it. How rare an occasion it was for this divine bone hailing from the great prehistoric god, no, one of the three ancestral human emperors to be here! It was an object of myths and legends, yet, had surprisingly appeared before him alive. Who wouldn’t want to obtain it?
However, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens was here, so was the master of his contract. It appeared he was destined to have no luck with this divine hone.
Seeing that the Mystic Maiden made no moves, Alex urged them, “Act quickly! Your current physical body is considered extraordinary. If you can merge with Ymir’s Divine Bone, you should gain big benefits, right? When the time comes, at least you won’t be so weak to the point of dragging me down, right?”
Mystic Maiden glanced at him, slightly angry. “My current situation is only temporary.” After saying that, she pulled the bone with a swipe, causing it to float toward Alex.
“You… What is the meaning of this?” Alex’s eyes widened in shock.
Mystic Maiden said, “I’m a public-spirited and selfless person who, at all times, gives the absolute best treatment to my servant. So, I’ll give this piece of Ymir’s Divine Bone to you. You should merge with it right now by forcing out a blood essence and dropping it on the divine bone. Let me give you a hand.”
Alex subconsciously backed off. He somehow felt a sense of insecurity.
‘This woman has been quite a troll. It makes no sense that she wouldn’t use such an overpowering divine bone for herself and give it to me!’
‘No, there must be some kind of inside story I don’t know.’
He hurriedly said, “Wait a minute! I’ve just cultivated the Old Cow’s Breathing Technique and attained perfection in the Invincible Steel stage recently. I think we can take a break before using this piece of bone. Or, give it to Pigsy!”
The Mystic Maiden said, “Pigsy is a pig, so how can it merge with Ymir’s Divine Bone. The human body is the best choice. Hurry up, stop hesitating.”
“Are you… Really not deceiving me?”

“You’re my ally. Why would I have to deceive you? Hurry up. If you’re disobedient, I’ll activate the contract’s restriction. When the time comes, I’ll take off your pants and spank your a*s in front of Ynes Larkin. Would you believe it?”
In an instant, Alex’s face darkened. Should he weep or bawl for running into such a mistress?
Swoosh!
Ymir’s Divine Bone hovered toward him slowly. As he looked at it up-close, he could see more clearly the subtle cracks on the bone. It was from these cracks that the golden light was released. When the light shone on him, he unexpectedly felt a slight tingling sensation in his soul.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try then!”
“Mystic Maiden, if you deceive me again this time, you’ll become my little sister!”
Alex then forced out a drop of his blood essence and dripped it on Ymir’s Divine Bone. That blood was rapidly absorbed by the cracks on it and disappeared. But nothing happened.
After waiting for a full minute, nothing happened either.
“Uh, it’s probably because the blood essence is not enough. You should drip some more,” said Mystic Maiden. When she saw Alex hesitating and was reluctant to give it another go, she added, “This is, after all, the divine bone of the human ancestor. If you’re a Heavenly King, a drop of blood essence will be enough for sure. But you aren’t. Your level is too low, so you must drip more blood essence. Hurry up. I won’t harm you!”
Alex gritted his teeth and continued forcing out his blood essence.
One drop, two drops…
Ten drops, twenty drops…
Alex had now gone pale. This was his blood essence but not the water essence, so he did not. have much.
Mystic Maiden felt a little distressed. If there was still no reaction, he could only stop trying.
But at that moment, a whim struck Alex. After the twenty-fourth drop of blood essence was absorbed by the divine bone, a mysterious fluctuation of thoughts had an interactive reaction with his divine consciousness. The golden light in the divine bone glowed in an overwhelming fashion, as though coming to life and breathed and pulsated. Then, it swished into Alex’s body and attached itself to its lumbar spine.
It turned out to be… A lumbar vertebra?
Alex was a little surprised, but the next second, he felt immense pain.
As if his lumbar spine had been abruptly severed, that piece of divine merged with his original lumbar spine. Through internal vision, he saw countless ciphers on the divine bone that emitted dazzling golden light.
‘These are not ancient runes. What kind are they?’
Alex discovered that he did not know any of these tadpole-like nines and symbols. Moreover, they looked like living creatures, constantly swimming and moving around with rhythm. Immediately afterward, both these runes and golden light flowed wildly along the meridians all over his body, and they even spread out of his body.
“Ah! What… What’s wrong with him?!” Ynes exclaimed.
She saw Alex’s trembling and growling from time to time as if he was in great pain. But at this moment, the golden light flowed out of Alex’s body and enveloped his entire body within it.
At first, his body was covered in golden light. But soon, the golden light slowly solidified, making the current Alex look like a huge golden egg, or rather, a huge golden cocoon. However, the others did not see the tadpole-like ciphers. It seemed that only Alex could see them.
The astonished Ynes reached out to touch it.
As a result, lightning exploded with a boom, blasting her more than ten meters away.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2410
“Argh!”
Ynes, whose flesh had been lacerated by the explosion, screamed in horror. After her hair became scattered, the roots planted with black smoke, her fingers that had come in contact with the huge golden cocoon were also pitch-black and were still numb now.
“My hand!”
“My hair! Oh my god!”
Currently, the first beauty of the Western Ridge looked as wretched as a grilled duck. The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said, “He’s now in the critical period of merging with the divine bone. Don’t touch him. This is going to take some time, at least three to five days. Let’s deal with this shark first. Although it’s smaller than before, we can’t possibly cross the Endless Sea unless we do so.”
Ynes complained helplessly in her heart. “The Endless Sea is boundless, yet you guys want to cross it? Are you guys not afraid of death?”
“You don’t have to go with us if you don’t want to, but you’ll regret it for sure,” replied Mystic Maiden.
Ynes glanced in the direction of the continent and said faintly, “The world is so vast, yet I don’t feel at home in this world. If I don’t follow you guys, where else can I go?”
After a pause, she continued, “Sis, do you fancy Alex Rockefeller?”
Mystic Maiden was speechless.
***
Mystic Maiden had initially thought that Alex would end his seclusion and emerge from his cocoon after seven days at most. However, she had to wait for a total of ten days.
Crack! Crack!
At this moment, the luster on the huge golden cocoon no longer had the original brilliance, leaving behind what seemed like solidified golden residue. As all the light retracted, it emitted a sound like a cracking egg.
Bam!
As the golden eggshell shattered, a hand reached out first. Then, an entire person broke out of the egg.
It was Alex Rockefeller!
After ten days of seclusion, he felt his body had undergone a complete change. All the bone in his body had a kind of golden luster, and there were also those active tadpole-like ciphers circulating on them. Although he did not actually test it, he knew that his defense had definitely improved significantly.
His strength, speed, and purity of the Chi all over his body had greatly improved.
‘Now, my internal organs are covered with a golden luster. The ciphers contained in Ymir’s Divine Bone continue transforming my body as if refining my flesh!’
Alex stepped out of the eggshell and touched his face, quickly realizing that he felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only his face but a hard shell layer also seemed to have wrapped all over his body.
This was because, when his body merged with Ymir’s Divine Bone, a lot of waste and impurities were forced out of his body. Some blood and bones of inferior quality were even removed from his body, forming a thick layer of flesh and blood scabs on the body’s surface.
‘How uncomfortable!’
‘I’ll go shower first!’
He didn’t see Mystic Maiden nor Ynes, but he saw the stone’s inscribed message on the ground. So, he knew that Mystic Maiden and Ynes had returned inside the previous spell formation.
Now, the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation still covered the entire range of the ancient city of Atlantis and him. Of course, this was because Mystic Maiden feared that Alex would encounter peril here once the spell formation’s range was reduced.
Alex rushed out of the spell formation and fell into the water. Little by little, he cleaned off the blood scabs on his body.
When he was taking a shower, he discovered a problem. His clothes looked broad for some unknown reason, especially the waistband of his pants that looked much thicker. When he looked carefully at his hands, he gasped…
‘These hands. Are these my hands?’
‘They are too small, right?’
Alex looked at his hands in disbelief as they were two sizes smaller than his normal hands.
Then, he hurriedly looked at his feet, legs, and especially the crotch…
Oh gosh!
No wonder he felt that the pants were big.
