The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2421
After that, the man walked over to them, ready to attack Waltz.
Smack!
Waltz immediately slapped the man across the face. It was loud and clear. Quite a few of his teeth were knocked out, and his nose ended up crooked as well, and blood came running down his cheeks as if it were a waterfall.
“Ah!”
Clay’s subordinate was utterly stunned as he screamed out loud, not expecting Waltz to move with such speed and strength.
As a cultivator who had achieved the first stage of Core Formation, he thought he was dreaming for this to have happened to him.
However, Waltz wasn’t satisfied with just one slap. She then kicked him in his lower core, using the Moon of the Nine Revolutions to concentrate Chi into her legs. Just then, they heard a resounding thump, and the person’s core had been shattered with just a mere kick. His abdomen was almost punctured through as well, as his entire body was sent flying into the air, falling harshly to the ground.
His face was pale from the pain as he vomited blood profusely.
“Y… You destroyed all my powers?” That person was in a sheer rage as he glared at Waltz.
Waltz’s expression was cold. “That’s all you got? Yet you still dare to show such insolence in front of the Rockefeller family? Do you really think we’re just a bunch of weaklings?”
“I’m giving you one more chance, Clay. Destroy all of you and your men’s powers, get out of my face, and leave California forever. Or else.”
Clay burst out in laughter as if he had just heard a joke a she gave out another order. “Draff, your turn!”
The middle-aged man named Draff leaped off the ground as he lunged toward Waltz.
Boom!
A large pit was left behind where his feet were after he sprinted off. On the other hand, Waltz used the Moon of the Nine Revolutions again to counter his attack.
As their palms met, both took quite a few steps back from the impact. It seemed that their powers were at par.
“Huh, I didn’t expect you to improve this quickly, Waltz. It looks likeI underestimated you, but that’s the end of this! Homan Teclmology is not an organization you’d want to mess with, so just come with me. You’d get to stay within Homan Teclmology as long as I’m here. And you’d get to have a large bundle of resources! You’d surely be able to exceed your current powers,” Clay said.
“Bullsh*t! I’ll destroy you today!”
Despite this, Waltz was kicked in the gut by Draff five seconds later. She started vomiting blood as well. Moreover, Draff was going easy on her at the time. Otherwise, she might be even further injured.
Maya narrowed her eyes. “Waltz, retreat. I’ll deal with them!”
Since Maya had extreme potential, she was currently a Profound Mystic, two levels above Waltz’ s powers. She was very displeased that Waltz was injured this badly, so she didn’t show any mercy at all.
Using Silver Frost, a large gust of ice was released from her palm, landing on Draff. In an instant, he was frozen into a human icicle.
She didn’t stop there, still filled with resentment toward these people. ‘How dare they disrespect Brittany? They must have a death wish. I’ll show them who’s boss this time.’
‘I don’t mind letting Clay off, but all his subordinates would have to pay. If they have to guts to come looking for trouble, they should be prepared for death as well.’
Bam bam bam!
More human icicles were formed on the spot. Some even died instantly as the ice was smashed into pieces.
Clay’s group was shocked. They didn’t expect this sweet-smelling beauty to jump out of nowhere. Much less expected that she could attack with such great powers, killing them before they could react.
Clay was enraged as he yelled, “Everyone, attack!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2422
Clay had brought seventeen people with him, but now there were only thirteen of them left. With this, all of them lunged forward, deciding to outnumber Maya and beat her up altogether.
They didn’t care about fairness at all. Winning was more important to them since they would have control over the losers.
‘These losers would be nothing! Nothing!’
However, reality proved otherwise. Clay initially thought that handling them would be easy after this. Besides, no matter how powerful or skillful Maya was, she was still a human who caught them by surprise. Moreover, Waltz was still bleeding from their previous attacks, so he thought they had the advantage in this battle…
Even if they couldn’t defeat them, they could still hold one of the women hostage and threaten the others. As long as they get their hands on one, the others would start panicking and do anything to protect her. Hence, he thought he could come out victorious.
In reality…
Splat!
Splat!
Dawn, the Fairy Doctor, joined the fight.
Her powers were ranked third in the Flying Eagles Academy, and she had achieved Spirit Severing a long while ago. If she hadn’t put her heart into alchemy, she would’ve archived Tribulation Crossing by now.
She pulled out a flying sword, using it to behead the men one by one, causing them to cry out in fear and pain.
“Ahhhh!”
“This is getting out of hand, boss! We have to use Plan B!” someone yelled.
The Fairy Doctor didn’t hesitate one bit, and she was attacking them at a ferocious speed. In the blink of an eye, their group had narrowed down to under ten people. Fresh blood splattered all over the place. With this, the men realized that these women were no ordinary people. On the contrary, all of them looked like they were used to such gory situations.
If they still hadn’t figured out how powerful this family was, they would be digging their own grave.
“Initiate Plan B!”
“Argh!”
The group of men backed away immediately but not retreating from the scene.
After taking a few steps back, all of them took out a tiny bottle that was the size of their thumbs. Inside was an unknown, bright red liquid.
They then opened it and downed it all in one gulp.
“What are they drinking?” Cheryl, who was standing next to Brittany at the time, stared straight at those people. She knew that something was up.
Dawn and Maya looked at each other and backed away at the same time. They were able to sense strange energy emanating from those men. Suddenly, something odd started happening right before their eyes.
These people were mutating right there and then. Some grew scales, their skin turned black as well, as if they had turned into a python. Some grew tails, making them look like crocodiles. Some even grew bull horns and became 200 feet tall.
The entire situation was just eerie, but such mutations did, in fact, increase their powers a lot. Their aura was enough to alarm everyone as well.
Dawn was quick-witted and said, “Don’t waste any more time. Maya, let’s attack!”
The two women rushed over.
Suddenly, Clay somehow took out a flag from thin air. The flagpole started growing till it was three meters tall, and the flag had a bull’s head for a motive.
Boom!
Sticking the pole into the ground, a mysterious light flashed under the dirt, releasing a large, immense force.
“Be careful of that flag!” Dawn said to Maya. “This looks like the symbol for the Bull tribe. We can’t afford to ignore it. Let’s not try to turn this against ourselves. Stay alert, and if something goes wrong, take Madam Brittany and the others to hide!”
On the other hand, Maya immediately shouted, ordering the others to protect Brittany and retreat right away.
“Hahahaha… Do you think it’d be that easy to leave? None of you will be able to escape today,” Clay said.
His body was starting to mutate as well. Three horns appeared on his head, making him look extremely weird.
Boom!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2423
Maya tried to approach Clay with concentrated Frost Chi in her hand by activating Silver Frost again. However, she couldn’t move Clay one bit, it was as if he were a stone wall. Moreover, his horns released a bright ray of light and looked like it was shooting missiles.
Suddenly, a concentrated ray of mysterious light energy hit Maya in the gut, forming a hole right in the middle.
Thud!
Maya’s body felt like she had been struck by lightning as she fell to the ground hard, bleeding profusely.
“Ah, Maya!”
“Sister Maya!”
The entire Rockefeller family yelled, anxious and worried. They knew that Maya was strong, yet she ended up with such a serious injury.
‘How did these people become this powerful in a short amount of time?’
Dawn spoke once more, but her sword couldn’t slice through their necks at all, contrary to when she beheaded them with complete ease a while ago.
‘What was in that bottle?’
‘A type of divine medicine?’
She was shocked as she hadn’t seen any medicine as strong as this. None of the ancient books had mentioned this either.
‘Could this be a divine medicine that came from Mount Oro?’
Although she was overwhelmed with shock and confusion, she still rushed to give Maya two healing pills.
‘She was brave to face a mutated enemy alone, but it was too hard. She has been defeated.’
One of those mutated men slashed Dawn on the back within thirty seconds, causing blood to pour out of the wound. The injury was so severe that it almost broke her spine in half.
All the women turned pale, seemingly upset.
Waltz stepped forward, using her body as a shield for the others. “Clay, if you want to hurt them any further, you’ll have to go through me first.”
For some reason, Clay wasn’t fazed by this one bit.
He stared at Waltz, his expression cold and sadistic. “Do you think you’re still as precious as you were back then? You’re used, Waltz. You’re just a worn doll. I’m willing to play with you once in a while, for the sake of our past friendship. But don’t you dare think you’re still all that.”
Waltz was enraged.
“How could he say that about me?”
‘It’s like he threw our past friendship out the window! This man… He’s either a great actor back then, or he had completely changed.’
Clay smiled mockingly. “Alright then, Waltz. Do you understand your situation now? I’ll admit that I used to feel a slight obsession with you. So you better seduce me before that feeling vanishes. Please me with your body. If I’m satisfied, I might just let these peasants go!”
Waltz scolded. “You disgust me. Azure and I were deceived back then. Now that you’ve shown your true colors, I despise you! And I look down on you! Just look at yourself. You’re no human. You look worse than ghosts! You’re just someone with a bull head, a beast!”
Smack!
Clay moved rather fast, like a charging bull. He lunged toward Waltz and gave her a hard slap across her face after hearing her words.
His eyes were filled with coldness. “If that’s what you think, then we don’t have anything else to talk about. From this day onward, the Rockefeller family of California will be wiped from America’s history!”
“What are you waiting for, boys? Aren’t you all interested in some of these little ladies? You’re free to pick whoever you like! Once you’ve made your choice, just bring them into a room. We have a free motel right here, don’t we?”
“Oh, by the way, your family’s assets, along with the Thousand Miles Conglomerate, would now be owned by Homan Technology.”
After saying that, he walked slowly toward Waltz.
Just then, a voice filled with malicious intent came fromthe skies…
“So… Are you all digging your graves, or do you all have a death wish?”
Two people flew over on the back of a pig. Alex and Ynes had arrived. However, Alex never would’ve expected someone here to destroy his entire family when he came back…
‘No, wait, they’re here to steal my assets and my lovers.’
“Alex!”
“Darling..!”
“My beloved..!”
“Brother..!”
The women exclaimed with joyful tears filling their eyes as soon as they saw Alex.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2424
Whoosh!
Still carrying Alex and Ynes, Pigsy dropped itself down and stood in between Waltz and Clay. Pigsy’s gaze wandered around the scene. It first noticed Waltz, then Maya, Brittany, and the others.
It then murmured. “Oh my, little minion. These are your wives? All of them are such beauties. Do you really have the time to handle all of them?”
Ynes was stunned too. “Your harem’s a little big. Am I supposed to get along with all of them?”
Alex was speechless, raising a brow at Ynes.
‘What are you thinking? I don’t think my harem concerns you in the slightest. Aren’t you taking this whole wife act thing a little too seriously?’
On the other hand, Waltz and the others were shocked as well.
They weren’t able to see him all that clearly when he was in the air. Now that they could take a closer look, all of them couldn’t help but express confusion.
‘Is this teenager… Really my man?’
“W… Who are you?” Waltz asked, obviously blundered.
“Don’t tell me. Are you Alex’s son?”
“Mom, can you take a look and see if he’s a fake?”
Brittany approached and scanned him up and down. She even pinched Alex’s cheeks and gave it a pull. “Well, his skin is real.”
Alex really didn’t know how to react. “Mom, I’m real too!”
“But… You just… You don’t look your age at all!”
Alex rubbed his face gently after his mother pinched him. “You don’t look your age either. Just look at your face. No one would question it even if you said you’re in your twenties. I just look a few years younger than before. Wouldn’t I look more like your son this way?”
Brittany replied. “What about your wives? You look like a minor. Wouldn’t it feel like they’re committing a crime… When sleeping with you?”
“That’s on them.”
The family continued to surround Alex, gossiping and questioning him. It sounded as if they were currently at a flea market.
Clay, who seemed like the main character earlier, instantly became a nobody. More importantly, they were running out of time.
The potion they just drank had a time limit. According to the first daughter of Homon Technology, the potion would grant the powers of an Imminent Immortal, which was like half the powers of an Immortal.
However, once the effect wears off, they would become very weak and would have to take a few days to recover. Hence, it’d be best not to use this medicine unless the situation called for it.
“Hey, you pricks! You have forgotten about your situation here, huh? Are we dead to you?” One of Clay’s subordinates, who had meaty wings on his back, spoke. He was very unhappy about the Rockefeller family members’ attitudes.
‘We literally have the upper hand here, yet you’re all in the mood for a chit-chat? Aren’t you all just a little too carefree?’
Alex took a slight glance at him. “Be confident, don’t question yourself.”
‘What is that supposed to mean?’
After thinking that, the man realized what Alex was implying. It meant that Alex did see them as dead men.
“You b*stard, who do you think you are? You just rode a pig here, and you think you’re some legendary character like Pigsy?” That man chuckled coldly.
Pigsy was upset at that remark and spoke up. “I’m Pigsy, mind you. He’s my little minion. Are your eyes replaced with assh*les? How could you not see that, peasant?”
‘What?!’
That man was furious. He didn’t think that the pig of all things would insult him too.
“Die!”
“I’ll make you into roast pork!”
However, Pigsy disappeared into thin air just as he was about to attack. Pigsy’s speed was extraordinary after all. No human could possibly compete with it.
Suddenly, that man realized that one of his wings had been forcefully ripped off by Pigsy with its front trotters.
“I love chicken wings. I wonder if this guy’s wings taste good!”
The pig demon was starting to get addicted to having wings after eating the peacocks’ last time. Hence, it would always get the urge to chomp down on wings whenever it saw any.
“Ah!” The bird man screeched in pain. His back was covered in blood after his wing was torn off. Moreover, such force only made the wound very big, drenching the floor with fresh blood.
This shocked every single person at the scene, apart from Alex and Ynes.
‘How could a pig be this powerful? So this means none of us is stronger than a pig?’
Clay suddenly felt alarmed. He was in a daze after seeing just how shockingly strong Pigsy was. He turned around immediately and noticed that Alex was staring straight at him. For some reason, he felt as if he was being watched by a large ancient monster.
Besides that, he had met an ambassador from Mount Oro back at Homan Technology.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2425
That ambassador was tremendously strong. When they stared at him, he felt the sudden urge to kneel as well. That was just how powerful they were. Yet now, he felt the same when Alex looked at him.
‘But… How is that possible? I must be hallucinating!’
“Die!” Clay attacked, using his Imminent Immortal powers to swing his fists at Alex’s head.
Dawn knew exactly how powerful Clay was. She was worried that Alex might get hurt and tried to warn him not to take the punch if he couldn’t.
Suddenly, she couldn’t finish her sentence at all.
That was because Clay’s punch was nothing to Alex… He didn’t dodge, taking Clay’s attack head-on, literally. However, just as his fist was a mere inches away, it was blocked off by a mysterious force and was unable to land the punch on Alex’s body at all.
Clay couldn’t believe his eyes. ‘Is this really happening?’
Alex shook his head. “I thought you were quite powerful since you came over and tried to destroy my family. Yet this is all you got? You’re not even remotely as strong as the fish in the sea.”
Clay used all his might, all three of his horns started glowing.
After that, he met his demise. That was because Alex was interested in his horns, grabbing onto them and pullng them harshly.
“Moo…” Clay let out a painful cry as one of his horns was being pulled off his body by force.
Moreover, Alex just took one look at it and threw it aside, visibly disgusted. “Ew, what is this? Trash!”
He then proceeded to pull out the other two horns, throwing them away too. It was so brutal and gory that it made everyone’s scalps go numb.
Alex said monotonously, “Why did you choose to be an animal when you could be human? Well, just remember to be a good human in your next life!”
Forming a white ball of light in his hand, a lightning bolt struck Clay.
After his horns were removed, Clay realized that his powers were completely drained. His body had fallen into a weak state earlier than expected. He couldn’t possibly defeat Azure at this point, let alone Alex. So all he could do was scream. “Stop! I’m Waltz’s second brother. I’m your brother-in-law! You can’t kill me!”
“Brother-in-law..? Clay Ember..?”
“Yes, yes! I’m Clay Ember. Uhm… Hehe, this is all just a misunderstanding! We’re all family, right?”
Alex turned to Waltz but noticed blood stains on her.
“Ah, so it’s you, Clay!”
“Yeah, uhm, it’s me.” Clay had to surrender, for now, suppressing his tears as he was terrified.
‘Who is this devil, and where did he come from? But looking at his tone, I think… I can live another day.’
However, Alex spoke up again. “Don’t worry. I’ll pick a good place for your burial! Rest in peace then!”
He opened up his palm again as electricity filled the air. In the end, Clay was turned into a pile of flesh.
Alex caressed Waltz’s face gently. “Waltz, even if he were your brother, I wouldn’t be able to forgive him for hurting you. You don’t blame me for that, right?”
“He deserved it!” Waltz’s eyes were reddened, but she paused for a brief moment and continued. “Alex, you look kind of like a girl now.”
Smack!
Alex slapped her behind gently. “I’ll be sure to show you if I’m a guy or a girl later.”
Clay’s subordinates tried to escape after seeing Alex killing off their leader with such ease. Despite their efforts, Alex rushed over and blocked the exit.
“Since you’re all here, you shouldn’t leave! Dying together is more meaningful!”
***
There was an eighteen-floor modern building built next to West Lake belonging to Homon Teclmology.
A woman in office wear was currently sitting in a leather chair. She turned to the old man next to her and said, “It’s almost time, right? The Thousand Miles Conglomerate should be ours now. We have to get our hands on the formula of their Heavenly Potion.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2426
The woman was not very old. She was around twenty four or twenty five years old. She had a stunning appearance. There was arrogance in her eyebrows, which was different from mortal women, as well as… Languidness.
She wore a black OL suit and had a fantastic figure and a pair of very long legs. Her complexion was fair, white, and tender, as silky smooth as milk; She had a pair of soft and slender long legs. Her foot arch was curved nicely, with toes cardamom gorgeous as a soufflé. Her toenails were embroidered with a faint flower pattern.
The description was detailed because the woman’s pair of long legs were resting on the opposite table. She gently shook her bare feet and felt very comfortable.
The old man across the table had a white beard. He stood across the table, facing the woman with a kind of humility, not even daring to glance longer than necessary at the woman. He was staring at a pot of greenery next to him instead when he said, “Madam, the Heavenly Formula Medicine of the Thousand Miles Conglomerate is only able to cure the difficult and complicated diseases of ordinary people, and there may not be a pill formula present behind it.”
The woman gave him a look and crossed her right foot. With her toes, she picked up a piece of paper next to her and flung it.
That very ordinary piece of paper shot at the old man like a knife.
The old man was staring at the green roses, but he seemed to have a pair of eyes on the top of his head as he immediately stretched his hand out with mysterious dense energy between his fingers and a faint flash of purple light that caught the piece of paper with unparalleled precision.
“Take a look. This is the information you just got.” The woman put her feet away into a pair of white high heels, and when she stood up, she gave an even more profound sense of oppression. Those legs were like jade pillars. With the high heels, her height could reach 1.9 meters.
The key was that her body was perfect, just like a supermodel.
She grabbed a bottle of milk and drank with a straw while saying, “Do not underestimate this enterprise. The Olympus Tribe of Mount Oro has noticed the Thousand Miles Conglomerate. It helps their bodies. As long as we are the first to get it, we can strengthen our relationship with the Olympus Tribe of Mount Oro. Then, this will suppress their relationship with other plutocrats.”
The old man nodded and said, “Okay, Madam, I’ll ask the members to act fast.”
Just as that was said, a female secretary of Homan Technology knocked on the door hurriedly.
“Madam, something has happened!”
“What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?” The woman took a sip from the milk carton, and licked her lips. Feeling a little unsatisfied, she rolled her eyes and looked at the female secretary.
The female secretary said, “The Rockefeller family of California demands that Homan Technology’s boss go to the door of the Rockefeller family’s house before six o’clock this evening to admit his mistakes. Otherwise, Homan Technology will be overthrown.”
Hearing this, the woman hadn‘t had time to swallow the milk in her mouth when she spurted it out. Two seconds later, she burst into laughter.
“The Rockefeller family of California? What kind of family is that? I’ve never heard of such a family. Are they very powerful?”
“Hmm, I guess it’s an uncouth family again that is clamoring for attention and wanting to take advantage of our Homan Technology’s name to increase their popularity. We do not have to pay attention to such an insignificant character! Remember, our Homan Technology is the world’s top plutocrats openly recognized by the world. It is impossible to be blindly led by unscrupulous people. If this Rockefeller family is causing much trouble, we will destroy them at once.”
This woman had a sense of arrogance in her words. It seemed as if she was standing on the clouds, looking down on all beings. It was like she was born to be a fairy in the sky, While others were mud on the ground, unqualified to fight with her.
Her name was Shirley Hancock, the very first lady of the Hancock family, a hidden plutocrat.
The female secretary took out her cell phone and tapped on a video, ”Madam, this news is recently on SwitchTV. A very famous female anchor posted this. Her name is Michelle Yowell, nicknamed Moe Little Witch. She has a powerful figure behind her, rumored to be the Fairy Doctor of the Flying Eagles Academy, who is also her master… This proves that the news she posted is first-hand information and has a deep relationship with the Rockefeller family.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2427
After listening, Shirley did not care very much and said, “Nowadays, everything on earth is recovering, and the aura is gradually thickening. The Flying Eagle Academy, which was very famous back then, has also fallen behind. The strongest battle power today is on top of Mount Oro. The others are all nothing.”
On the female secretary’s cell phone, the content of the video playing was exactly the ultimatum issued by Alex to Homan Technology. However, Shirley only glanced at it, treating him as a poseur.
“Pay no attention to it. Get ready to take over the Thousand Miles Conglomerate. Go now!”
After she had spoken and sent people away, she took out another bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator, gulping it down.
She was a woman who liked to consume dairy products.
***
Of course, Michelle could share this video because she happened to be at the Rockefeller family.
Moe Little Witch was so excited to see Alex that she gave him a big hug on the spot and said that she was going to post the information about his return to her live stream to strike some people in the face because many people on her live stream thought that Alex was dead and could not possibly come back.
Alex came back this time and did not intend to keep a low profile again. He simply recorded a video and got Michelle to upload it.
As a result, Shirley treated it as air when this video was published, but the live chat room exploded.
Why?
Homan Technology’s development momentum was high because it was backed by hidden plutocrats. Therefore, the use of resources was inexhaustible. Recently, it was found that the company was fancied by Mount Oro’s Messenger of God, thus becoming one of the spokespeople of the gods on earth.
This identity was badass.
Alex was missing for a long time. Everyone thought that he had died inside the ancient boundary. Now, he was back by luck and had asked the big boss of Homan Technology to run to him, kneel, and admit his mistake. Wasn’t this too reckless?
The live chat room exploded.
“Michelle, persuade your brother. The change is too fast. The world now is different from the past. Homan Technology has Mount Oro’s big backing. We cannot fight them. So ask Brother Alex to bear with it for now.”
“Yes, I agree with the comment above.”
“What’s going on? Why do I find Alex looking so much younger? Is there a problem with my glasses?”
“I feel like it’s my eyes that are seeing things wrong. Alex, didn’t he get married and have children long ago? This… It can‘t be his brother, right?”
“Fight with Homan and face the consequences!”
The internet was full of comments.
This was because, durin g this time, the world’s plutocratic forces had emerged. They had significant resources and lots of money and often even had massive fighting strength. Besides one plutocrat showing extraordinary ability, there were even some historical ancient sects being suppressed by them.
Although Alex earned a bit of fame before, the world generally felt some gap between him and Jade, the Flying Eagles Academy, Principal Lewin, and Principal Lawlor. He certainly could not fight Homan Technology and their chief backer, the Hancock family.
Then, just as the crowd felt that Alex was out of his depth overextending himself, Michelle entered the live chat room and sent a message.
“Homan Technology’s boss did not come to the door to apologize at nine o’clock. So feel free to watch the wonderful show of Homan Tower collapsing!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2428
Once this statement was made, the whole new world became chaotic, not to mention Michelle‘s live stream. Michelle was the most famous female anchor on SwitchTV today, and others were incomparable to her. Once she released such big news in the live room, it immediately became viral.
SwitchTV’s senior management, who were behind the scenes, immediately foresaw the possible sensational effect of this event. For the fans’ sake, the management had turned the confrontation between California’s Rockefeller family and Homan Technology into a home page special column. Those who logged into the platform would be able to see it immediately.
“Homan Tower, isn’t that the Homan Tower of Homan Technology located in the center of Michigan?”
“I heard that when constructing this building, all materials used were the best according to the world’s top seismic standards. The cost of the building is up to 30 billion. Even missiles cannot destroy this kind of building. Ask him how he plans to make the tower collapse? With his mouth?”
“It feels like Moe Little Witch’s brother is a bit retarded. Is he living in a dream?”
On the internet, many despicable voices appeared, not believing at all that Alex could make Homan Tower collapse.
Of course, some people stood out and proclaimed Alex’s remarkable achievements.
“Are you out of date? Alex is a super big boss. Do you know how the island’s Mount Fuji disappeared? You can go through the newspaper if you don‘t know.”
“Yes, Alex could make Mount Fuji disappear. What is a mere Homan Tower?”
“Also, back then, there was a demon invasion over the ancient boundary. If Alex did not save the day, now the entire golden era would not even exist. You people who gossip about others are really ridiculous.”
But someone immediately retorted, “Who knows if what happened then is not true? Or maybe this Alex, who has long been in cahoots with the demons, deliberately put on a Show? Besides, everything is different now. Even the demon tribe was beaten badly by Mount Oro’s divine messenger. Anyway, I’ll wait for nine o‘clock to see the joke.”
There was even an ID called ‘Sinister Spirit’ saying, “Alex overestimated himself. He is doomed to die. I have prepared a coffin and am willing to collect his corpse for free.”
***
There was a lot of noise outside.
Alex and all the Rockefeller family members were not concerned at all.
Alex saw his father, whom he had been looking so hard for, only to return on his own.
Seeing him chained to the bed, his body bound with iron ropes, even two directly through the lute bone, his expression was dark and terrible, and his heart ached like a cramp.
“Dad…”
“Who did this? Who locked my father up like this? Is there any humanity left?”
He was very sad. As a son of a man, he really could not see such a scene.
Florence shed tears and said, “Your master, Jade, did this. But you cannot blame your master. It is also to your father’s benefit. When your father does not have a seizure, he is okay. But once the poison attacks, he is no different from a beast. He attacked not only others but also attacked himself. If he were not chained, he would have killed himself.”
Hearing this, Alex‘s expression eased. However, it was still heartbreakingly painful.
Cherry, who was at the side, said, “Judging from the last seizure, in another hour, Uncle should have another seizure. Alex, do you have high-grade antidote pills on you? If you have them, hurry up and give him a try. Once these toxic attacks occur, the damage to the body will be heavier. I am most worried that if the toxicity damages the brain, the consequences would be unpredictable.”
Alex nodded. “I have already prepared the antidote, but I will use it only when my father has a seizure, so let’s wait for a while!”
Soon, Maya and the Fairy Doctor arrived too.
They had suffered some injuries earlier, but with Alex here, it was not difficult to heal them. After such a short while, they recovered completely. Typically, one needed to wait for an hour, but this time, William’s seizure came earlier, and after only ten minutes of waiting, his body jerked, and he opened his bloodshot eyes.
Cherry reminded them, “Uncle is having a seizure. Alex, hurry!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2429
Alex was already holding the antidote pill in his hand a while ago. This was a ninth- grade pill known as the Ternary Divine Antidote Pill. This was also the highest level of pills Alex could refine at his current level of alchemy. It was in the category of spiritual pills. Any better, and it would not belong to the earthly pills category anymore. It would be known as the Divine Fairy Pill then.
Alex had not yet refined a Divine Fairy Pill, so he did not know if he could do so.
Divine Fairy Pills were naturally much more advanced than spiritual pills. One of the most important differences was that Divine Fairy Pills contained some rule energy, the essence of elixir pills.
Roar!
William’s eyes were as red as blood, staring at Alex as if he was staring at his archenemy, wanting to eat him alive. It was not at all like an old man seeing his son, which made Florence, who was watching next to him, feel particularly unpleasant.
Alex pursed his lips and moved his fingers, ready to pop the pills into William’s mouth when he got the chance.
But at that moment, he felt a strange energy in William’s body, from within William’s soul… It was strange and cold, like a poisonous snake that chooses people to devour, giving Alex a creepy feeling.
“Nope…”
Just because of this, Alex paused for a moment and did not give the pill to William.
At this moment, the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens, who had long since hidden in Alex’s mind palace and was comfortably lying under the Chaos Tree on the cold jade bed that once belonged to Pigsy, sent a voice to Alex’s divine thoughts, “That’s not right. You’re lucky you didn’t give him the Ternary Divine Antidote Pill. Otherwise, your father wouldn’t have survived more than ten breaths.”
“What?!”
Alex was shocked, and he quickly squeezed the pill in his hand. He felt that it was still not safe and reentered the storage treasure, “Little Sister, do you know his condition?”
“What did you call me?” the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens snorted coldly and rolled over on the bed. “I’m too lazy to care about the drama in your life. I’m going to sleep.”
Alex’s consciousness hurriedly sank into the mind palace and appeared at the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens’ bedside as he shyly said, “Big Sister, you are my real sister. This is okay, right? Tell me now, what is going on with my father?”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens laughed coldly. “Who wants to be your real sister?”
Alex was speechless. Was she really arguing with him about designation at moments like this?
“Then, I’ll address you as my brother-in-law.”
“Brother-in-law, you big-headed ghost. I am your master. You have to call me master!”
“Well, my master, beautiful and great master, can you tell me the truth now?”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens looked at him and said, “Massage my back. This body has to diffuse meridians. It’s always sore lately.”
To save his father, Alex put on his best behavior. “You have found the right person. In this regard, I am a professional.”
His hands fell on the back of the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens, where the curves were beautiful and sexy. But, Alex now had no intention to take advantage of her. His mind was focused on pleasing her, so he massaged her dutifully.
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens was delighted.
“Change position. Put pressure on the waist!”
“Okay, my white lotus.”
“Good, good, now do the feet!”
“Hmmm… Dear White Lotus, your feet are so beautiful. I feel so comfortable…”
“What did you say?”
“Oh, I was asking you if you are comfortable when I squeeze your feet like this?”
“Well… It’s okay, from now on, come in and give me a massage every day, okay?”
“Ah… Okay! And my father…”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens finally stopped hiding. “You should feel it, too, right? I’m telling you, it’s called soul-planting! Your father, who a certain great man favored, wanted to sacrifice him into an out-of-body incarnation.”

“What?”
Alex grabbed one of the Mystic Maiden’s white jade feet and was completely stunned. “This is… Someone wants to take over my father’s body?”
The Mystic Maiden shook her head. “Soul-planting, not possessing. Soul-planting is a hundred times crueler than possessing. Thousand times crueler!”
Alex’s grip tightened. His heart was shaking.
The Mystic Maiden’s beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly. Alex’s grip was too hard and was pinching her painfully.
However, this time she did not scold him harshly. Instead, she only gently broke free and then said, “Those whom the great figures chose to plant their souls are supreme geniuses. So, in that case, your father is very talented. Otherwise, he would not have suffered this situation.”
Alex fell on her bed on his butt.
Taking away the body was already cruel. Soul-planting was a hundred times more brutal than taking away the body a thousand times. He really couldn’t imagine how painful that was.
After that, the Mystic Maiden gave him an explanation of what soul-planting was.
The requirements for both the spell caster and the spell recipient were very high. First, the spell caster must have had a cultivation level above god and a high level of research in soul arts; then, the physical quality of the spell recipient and the state of the soul must also be quite powerful.
There were rumors that the spell caster must be the leader of a realm with talent far beyond those so-called divine sons and daughters.
What kind of harsh conditions were these?
The process of planting a soul was different from taking a body. Possession was straightforward and brutal. It used its souls to exterminate other people’s souls. Their souls would take over and control the flesh, soul- planting was not that.
Soul-planting was when a great person used the divine substance in his soul, including a part of the soul power to be planted into the body of the genius. Thus, the genius’s soul slowly nourished the caster’s soul power. At the first stage, one might not feel it. But as time passed, the more painful it became.
The soul of the enchanted person would be consumed and worn down slowly.
More importantly, due to the soul of the great person, the enchanted person’s flesh and body would be affected by a kind of divine order energy. The effect was similar to poisoning, which was actually the process of constantly sacrificing the flesh and subliminally. In the end, it was similar to possessing because the flesh was completely controlled by others.
The Mystic Maiden said, “Heaven and earth have rules, the sacred has order. Possessing is a very low-end operation because it is simple and crude. There are great disadvantages too. The more godly the character, the less likely possession will happen. This is because god has an order, and possessing will incur backlash. The loss is not worth the gain. Even if one is successful, there is nothing to glorify. But, to plant a soul was to completely and utterly turn someone else into yourself. Taking someone’s body and soul means taking away their destiny and Heavenly Path of God, which is equivalent to stealing creation.”
As the Mystic Maiden spoke, she also sighed and spoke about a past incident, saying that she once knew a friend who was a genius divine son of one of the great worlds, a reincarnation of a super great person, born with heavenly talent, but ended up being taken by an old man with a strong background. He was captured to plant the soul. After going through a lot of pain, he finally had to be baptized by the three thousand thunder tribulations of the nine heavens and ten earths.
Alex asked, “What happened in the end to this friend of yours?”
The Mystic Maiden’s gaze was deep and distant before she finally sighed. “The tribulation succeeded, and he survived. Today, I’m afraid his achievement has skyrocketed. But that is not him. It’s someone else’s incarnation.”
“Aren’t there any solutions?”
“There is!”
“What is it?”
“Find that caster. Then, your father, in turn, encroaches on his order of the divine path, but… You do not seem to have enough time. According to your father‘s current situation, I estimate that he will have to experience the tribulation at most a year. Three thousand thunder tribulations and nine deaths. The gap in strength between you and that person is a hundred thousand miles!”
After speaking with the Mystic Maiden, Alex’s mood worsened.
After his consciousness returned to his physical body, he looked at his father, William, yelling and screaming. The chains on his body through the lute bone were violently wrenched, pulling the lute bone that was about to break. There was blood filling his two shoulders. His expression was hideous and mindless.
But, Alex could not do anything about it.
“Alex, what‘s wrong with you? Hurry up and feed Uncle the antidote!” Cherry urged. She was unable to bear Alex’s expression of pain at this moment.
Alex, with red eyes, shook his head. “Do not give it to him!”
