The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2481
Alex replied, “That’s my girl.”
The Mystic Maiden fell silent and gave him a book.
Upon reading it, Alex realized that it was a secret spell to search someone’s memories. It would give access to someone ’s mind and soul by force. Hence, it was quite powerful. However, it required the caster to use enough soul power to activate it.
It would be best to form a mental realm as well, else searching within one’s soul might potentially cause permanent damage to the soul itself. Lighter effects include amnesia, or worse, the person could lose their soul.
Pondering further, he thought that he fit the basic requirements for this. He didn’t care about the wolf demon’s fate at all.
Alex climbed onto the wolf demon’s head. “I gave you a chance just now, but you didn’t appreciate it.”
The wolf demon had a slightly horrified expression. Its eyes were as big as car tires. Hence, it instantly noticed it when a smooth, fair leg came out of Alex’s forehead.
After that, it even kicked Alex on the nose and retreated into his head.
‘Is this man even a normal person?’
‘Why would a woman’s leg come out of his forehead?’
“You… Are you human or demon?”
“Where did that leg even come from? No normal person has that!”
Alex squinted slightly and ignored its question. Instead, he placed a hand on its forehead. He then proceeded to cast the secret spell according to how the Mystic Maiden taught him. With this, he was able to form a mental realm around the wolf demon’s brain. Then, using his mental power, he invaded its mind as if there were several silk threads.
The sensation was quite mystical. He felt as if he had walked into multiple odd dreams. The mind had shattered into pieces… It looked like a kaleidoscope, with each reflection being a world of its own. Within each world were the wolf demon’s core memories from its past experiences.
“Argh!” The wolf demon roared, struggling to fight back.
Its mental power was no stronger than Alex’s. Being this badly injured and pinned to the ground, along with both its legs amputated, the wolf demon couldn’t possibly defend its mind from Alex.
It definitely knew what Alex was doing because it could sense what he was doing in there.
There were quite a few forgotten memories in there as well. But, due to Alex’s invasion, it could remember them, one by one, no matter the significance.
“Found it!”
Alex was starting to feel mentally drained. He had to break his conscience into several ones to find the memory he wanted.
However, as the caster, he could control the entire process. Therefore, if he got tired, he could slow down, which was much more bearable.
“Where is this place? Mount Tai? There’s an ancient sanctuary on Mount Tai? It’s reawakening as well. There’s a hidden dojo as well…”
Alex was excited to find that memory in the wolf demon’s mind finally.
This was the reason why the wolf demon could achieve Immortalization in such a short time too. Since the dojo had been reawakened and unsealed by law power, there seemed to be quite a few treasures in there. However, the grand opportunity was paired with danger as well. The mysterious dojo had been waiting for the right day since the day the ancient boundary was sealed. There were quite a few preparations for this too.
As this was the first time Alex tried soul searching, he was unfamiliar with it.
Since these were just bits and parts of its memory, it wasn’t quite as clear and logical as a verbal description. There were gaps between memories, so the information he gathered was quite vague, but it was just enough for him. Besides, he was able to find some secrets about Mount Olympus from the wolf demon’s mind.
The Divine Heir of Mount Olympus was a guy called Ale. Yet, Mount Olympus was just the lead troop of the Olympus Tribe that came to the Wasteland.
The law power within the Wasteland was restoring at a rapid pace, and the sanctuary was awakening. Hence, their larger troops and far powerful beings would continue to come down to Earth.
They wanted to dig out all the sealed grand opportunities within the Wasteland, leaving the Wasteland to become truly a wasteland.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2482
Ring…
When Alex watched these memories with his own eyes, he felt as if a giant ball of anger was burning within his heart. The Olympus Tribe was just too cruel. They wanted to destroy Earth.
For example, the newly awakened dojo in Mount Tai used to be a sanctuary. Yet, the Olympus Tribe wasn’t just going to investigate the wonders from within and look for the grand opportunity, as they claimed. Instead, they wanted to uproot the entire mountain, move it to their land, and claim it as their own.
It was just too horrifying. If they succeeded in their plan, Earth would be done for.
“Damn it!”
“You Olympians really are crooked criminals!”
Alex shouted, absolutely enraged. The mental realm exploded immediately. He then retreated from its mind entirely, regaining his mental power. However, once the wolf demon’s mental world shattered, everything was destroyed due to this anger. The wolf demon let out an earth-shattering cry and took its last breath.
Alex told this to the Mystic Maiden, causing her to narrow her eyes for the first time.
Quite a while later, she said, “It looks like you really don’t have much time left! I just forecasted that you alone wouldn’t be able to solve this problem. You have to build a large, powerful group to prevent this catastrophe.”
He asked, “How strong is this ‘powerful group’ you’re talking about?”
The Mystic Maiden shook her head. “I can’t predict that yet, but more importantly, we don’t know how long the boundary the ancient saints planted to stop these bandits will hold. I think you have to go visit the blockage at Mount Olympus for a turn!”
Alex nodded.
He looked at Michelle, who was still basking in the golden lightning, then at the broken gate of Rockefeller Manor.
The faith in his heart grew stronger every second.
All his family and loved ones were here. He couldn’t possibly allow the Olympus Tribe to destroy this place as they wanted. If they did go with their plan, the entire planet would be destroyed, becoming completely inhabitable. It might possibly end up as ashes floating in space.
‘A large, powerful group?’
Alex pondered. ‘But large didn’t mean large in numbers.’
‘The Ancient Alliance is large enough too, but they were still defeated. So numbers mean nothing to a horrifyingly strong enemy.’
‘I need experts, the best of the best! And best of the beast!’
‘Let’s start with a small goal, to achieve Immortalization!’
***
Twenty minutes later, the golden light faded from Michelle as her body recovered to her peak state… She had truly achieved Core Formation, becoming a cultivator with a golden core.
Alex gave her lots of pills and helped her with her consolidation in powers.
Just then, the Miller family started shouting. “You killed a Divine Envoy of the sacred mountain, Rockefeller. Do you know what’s going to happen? There are eighteen Divine Envoys of the sacred mountain. All of them have supernatural powers that tie them together. Now that you’ve killed one, the rest of them will come for you. They’d destroy your family, so only death awaits you!”
Alex’s gaze was icy, but calmness returned in an instant. He walked over to them and grabbed the man who spoke, snapping his neck abruptly.
“I don’t know if the Rockefeller family would be destroyed, but you Millers are going to meet your demise now!”
Boom!
He then released his mental realm, surrounding them as he started the slaughter. In just a few moments, there was only one member of the family alive. It was an elderly woman. She seemed like the leader.
Seeing her people die in such a horrid death, the woman turned pale, and her eyes widened in horror. She couldn’t believe Alex would dare to kill the entire Miller family in broad daylight.
“There’s not much time!”
“I don’t have the time to waste on you punks!”
After that, he pressed his hand on her forehead.
‘Soul Search!’
He was able to find information on the Miller family in her memories, especially intel on the key to Dairaionji Temple.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2483
Originally, he didn’t have much hope of getting what he wanted. Yet unexpectedly, this woman had quite a high status. She was one of the core members of the Miller family, Old Lady Miller’s daughter.
Within her memories, Alex found traces of the Buddha relic.
It apparently wasn’t with Old Lady Miller but in a hidden place of their ancestral temple.
“You… What did you do to me? What are you doing? Let go of me!”
The woman didn’t die, nor did she lose her soul. This was because Alex was getting the hand of soul searching at this point. However, she had a feeling that she was in a very vulnerable position in front of Alex. It was as if she was stripped of all her clothes and privacy, which made her go mad.
Alex stared at her. “I didn’t expect that you Millers still preserved a living ancestor from ancient times. Impressive!”
‘What?’
The woman was shocked to hear this. This was the Miller family’s greatest secret, yet Alex still somehow found out about it.
“How did you know?”
Alex replied, “Don’t be this surprised. I even know how many men you have hooked up with. Tsk tsk, Blossom Miller was it? You’re not young, and you’re not all that pretty, but damn, you sure are horny. I’d feel dirty if I killed you with my own hands.”
Blossom’s mouth was left agape. Her face was burning up. She finally realized that he was searching her memories earlier.
“You…”
“You’re not human. You’re a devil! A devil!” Blossom screamed as if she had turned crazy.
Anyone would panic if all their hidden secrets were completely exposed to someone else.
Moreover, Blossom presented herself as a modest, quiet woman. Yet, she was secretly very sexually active…
“Whatever! One way ticket to hell it is!”
Using his mental power to attack instead, Blossom Miller died of strangulation.
Alex’s family were all gathered at Rockefeller Manor. If he didn’t obtain quite a few skills, the Rockefeller family would have met their demise after the Miller family invited the Divine Envoy.
Although he was raised with justice and virtue, it didn’t mean that he could endure such bullying. The family was his bottom line. Anyone who tried to cross him would have to pay with their life.
In just a few moments, his entire family rushed out, showing their concern for him, which made Alex’s heart melt.
‘Isn’t this the family I’ve always wanted?’
Daya leaned near the gate, smiling as she watched them. She wasn’t worried one bit, as she was confident that Alex could handle the Divine Envoy. Wolf demons like that were easy to handle. She could have handled it fine. Alex didn’t even have to lift one finger.
***
Pigsy was digging into the wolf demon. It had a rather sharp sense when it came to spiritual objects. Hence, it was able to dig out a demon core that was the size of a fist It was brimming with hazy silver light, surrounded by concentrated spiritual energy. This was where all of the wolf demon’s essence was contained.
“Ah, what a treasure, it already contains law power. Eating it would definitely help me improve further.”
Pigsy held the demon core in its trotters, opening its mouth to swallow it whole. Then, unexpectedly, the demon core was snatched away from its grasp, nearly causing it to bite down on its big trotters instead.
“Hey! Who was that? Who stole my treasure?”
“I did.” Alex was standing behind him. “This is my treasure!”
Pigsy wanted to throw a fit, but it knew that it couldn’t defeat Alex and huffed. “Do you really think I want it? Isn’t it just some weak demon core? Please, I’ve seen better.”
Alex chuckled. “That’s right. This demon core is actually of quite a low class. I think it’s too cheap even to be used in alchemy. So why don’t we fight something big? I know an old man with a legendary divine core. Want to go with me?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2484
“What kind of legendary divine core?”
Pigsy didn’t fall for this. It seemed quite cautious, backing away slowly on all fours. It knew that Alex was a scammer and the fact that he was quite frugal. If there really were a legendary divine core, he wouldn’t possibly give it to anyone else, let alone Pigsy.
Alex used telepathy to talk to him.
Pigsy was so excited that its eyes widened. “Really?”
Alex thumped his chest hard. “Of course! When we get the divine core, it’s all yours. I just need the key to the Buddhist sanctuary.”
“Deal!”
Alex smiled. The divine core thing was just a story he made up. However, when searching within Blossom’s soul, he found out that there was a divine coffin hidden in the ancestral grounds of the Miller family.
Inside was a very powerful being responsible for carrying out the Nirvana project in the Wasteland. Once he realized that the higher-ups of the Ancient Alliance were planning something, he decided to take action, waiting for the Wasteland to reawaken so that the humans could rise again.
Hence, this ancestor sealed himself into a divine coffin, waiting for the right time to come out and take the grand opportunity. With this, he could make the Miller family rise to the top.
Alex didn’t want to visit the Miller family for that old man. However, the Old Lady Miller had placed the relic in the divine coffin. Not only could it open the Dairaionji Temple, but it also seemed beneficial to this old man as well.
However, if Alex wanted to get the relic, he might wake the old man. With Pigsy and its speed, it could bear some of the damage if needed.
Before leaving, Alex decided to make some adjustments to the manor.
If the Miller family was telling the truth, there should be eighteen Divine Envoys of the sacred mountain. However, since he killed the wolf demon a while ago, another seventeen would still be left. If they united their powers to attack the Rockefeller family, it would certainly be a catastrophe… Hence, he took out the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six and hundreds of flying swords from the Sword Gourd. After that, he connected them to the sword heart he got from Atlantis and turned the manor into another Atlantis.
With this, he could leave the manor, all while ensuring his family’s safety without being around.
***
Knowing that Alex was heading out, Brittany was still worried about him. When she thought he had died, she had been spending endless nights with tears.
“Mom, I’m already invincible in this world now. Haha! Only your son would be able to take people down, not the other way around!”
“I’ll be quick. I’ll come right back after I’m done. Dad’s condition is quite urgent.”
Brittany knew how urgent it was and that her son had to leave, so she decided not to stop him. Instead, she hugged him and gave him some reminders, then let him go.
The Miller family’s place wasn’t far from California, so Alex just jumped onto Pigsy’s back and set off.
Thirty seconds later, a figure rushed over and landed on Pigsy’s back. It was Daya, who had been chasing them. She grinned and said, “I’ll go with you guys. It’d be nice to have someone watch your back.”
Daya’s powers were rather mysterious and unpredictable. Not even Alex knew how strong she was. Pigsy turned around and mumbled. “If you’re going, then which of us is getting the legendary divine core?”
“The legendary divine core?” Daya froze and took a glance at Alex. She then smiled and said, “It’s yours. I’m just tagging along, so I don’t need any rewards.”
She had already gotten a lot of information on the Miller family from Channing. ‘A legendary divine core? It’s definitely something Alex made up to convince Pigsy.’
Pigsy smiled. “Then there wouldn’t be any problems. Let’s go! Pigsy’s coming for you, Divine Core!”
***
The Miller family was situated at Rubicon River, near Lake Tahoe. Their home was an ancient castle. The design of the castle was simple and dignified. It had its charm. The surrounding area looked nice too. Next to the castle was a pond with green mountains at the sides, connected by a small wooden bridge.
Just then, the Miller family in the castle was panicking. They were watching Michelle’s live stream as well and saw Alex defeating the Divine Envoy. Moreover, the Divine Envoy’s fate was absolutely horrid. Both its legs were amputated and amputated on the spot… Some people even proposed a price to buy its meat by weight as if it were livestock.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2485
They could sense the trauma the wolf demon had experienced. It was definitely hard-hitting. Yet, more importantly, they wanted to know how their family was doing.
“I think Blossom and the others might not have survived!”
“What do we do then? Old Lady Miller didn’t bring back any news either. We can’t reach her phone, and we don’t know what happened to her. If the Divine Envoy didn’t succeed, then the rest of our powers wouldn’t be of any use either. We’d be digging our graves!”
One of them gritted their teeth. “I have a plan, but I’m just not sure if you all would agree to it”
“What is it?”
“We bring the ancestor out!”
Hearing this, the entire Miller family looked at each other, slightly hesitant Someone spoke up. “The ancestor mentioned that we could only wake him under certain circumstances. It’s not the right time yet. If we wake him up now, it’d be trouble!”
“But if we don’t, what other way is there to solve this?”
The core members of the Miller family discussed among themselves and decided to take the risk.
That was because they couldn’t bear letting their Old Lady Miller die like this. Moreover, Alex had already found out that the Miller family was behind this. The Divine Envoy had almost destroyed the Rockefeller manor as well. Hence, Alex definitely wouldn’t end it there, so he’d likely come looking for them.
“Alright, that’s our decision then!”
“Let’s go to the ancestral temple now!”
The Millers made this decision and headed straight to the temple.
Just then, a loud explosion came from the front gates of the Miller family’s castle, along with the sounds of a bell chiming.
Ding dong, ding dong…
The heavy tolling from a bronze bell shook the entire space, causing the ground to quake and making every building nearby tremble.
“What’s happening?”
“Is the Rockefeller fellow here already? So quickly? What’s with the bell?”
There were ten or so members of this family present at the time. They were all the core members of the family. Hearing such a weird commotion, they immediately ran out the door to check it out.
They then noticed ten or so people at the gates of their castle, all wearing yellow attires. These people were currently attacking a man, a woman, and a pig viciously.
“Holy f*ck! It really is that Rockefeller b*stard!”
“That pig is here too.”
“I don’t know who that woman is. I’ve never seen her, but she seems powerful too!”
The Miller family shrieked, recognizing both Alex and Pigsy, the human and pig that appeared in Michelle’s live stream. However, their family didn’t pay much attention to any entertainment. Otherwise, they would’ve recognized Daya right away.
No matter how much she hid after retiring, there were still legends about her in the entertainment field.
“Who are those people in yellow clothes?”
“Their movements are kind of stiff…”
The Miller family members were confused as well. Suddenly, an older member of this family seemed overjoyed. His eyes lit up as he said, “I remember now. I’ve read this from one of my senior’s handscrolls.”
“The ancestor wanted the family to survive, so he made quite a few preparations. He had planted eighteen zombie troops around the castle. So when our family is in danger, they would come out and protect us. These people are likely the eighteen zombie troops.”
Someone asked, “Are zombie troops strong?”
The elders smiled. “Yes, very. Don’t worry. They can definitely defeat these punks with ease.”
After saying this, a blood bridge appeared right before them. There were multiple chains on top of it, entangling themselves onto the eighteen zombie troops.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2486
This blood bridge was, of course, Persephone’s Folly Bridge.
The eighteen corpse soldiers were exceptionally strong, and their defense was violent. Alex’s self-created Bodhi’s Dragon-Tusk Fist could not break these monsters that were made of bronze skin and iron bones. They were very strong. On the contrary, if one was punched by them, the bones would emit a painful sound that sounded like a metal collision.
Pigsy was beaten and wailing painfully, repeatedly cursing Alex. Pigsy had not yet seen the Divine Pill and was close to being hammered to death.
Daya was a Goddess of Nature before this. Although Daya had reincarnated, she was also limited by the rules of the Wasteland. As a result, she did not succeed in the immortalization stage. However, she had many cards up her sleeves. Even if her cultivation was not immortalized, her combat strength could crush the Immortalization.
However, the situation reversed when Persephone’s Folly Bridge appeared.
Rusty iron chains flew out from Persephone’ s Folly Bridge, bounding the eighteen yellow-clad corpse soldiers and gradually dragged them toward the top of Persephone’s Folly Bridge.
Roar!
The corpse soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar, and a strange and gloomy aura blossomed upon their bodies, forming some kind of domain to counter the dragging of Persephone’ s Folly Bridge.
However, it was useless.
The corpse soldiers were still being dragged upward at a languid pace. It could be seen that the strength of these corpse soldiers was impressive.
Pigsy shouted, “Damn, what the hell is this? People who do not look like people, ghosts who do not look like ghosts?”
Alex inherited the Ultimate Book of Medicine and was still hunting for all the strange knowledge. But, at a glance, he could see through the nature of these corpse soldiers. “These are zombies and very vicious living corpses. They sacrificed people who were alive. I did not expect that the Miller family, with such an ancient heritage, actually keeps such things at home.”
Daya nodded. “To use living people to refine corpses. There really isn’t any bottom line anymore.”
However, they heard even more astonished voices, precisely those of the Miller family speaking.
That not so-young clan member saw that the Persephone’s Folly Bridge tied up the eighteen corpse soldiers. All of them were being dragged down the bridge, with no way to break free for a while. She shouted in surprise, “What kind of magic treasure is that holding the eighteen corpse soldiers? These are the strongest corpse soldiers that the old ancestor spent countless efforts to refine with talented disciples. Each one of them is comparable to the strength of the Golden Immortal.”
So, the Miller family was refining corpses, not just looking for outside ones but specifically looking for talented genius disciples of their clan. What kind of operation was this?
Were they not using zombies?
Knowing the manipulation of the law was already sufficient. Was there a need to sacrifice so much?
Soon, they felt that something was wrong.
Eighteen corpse soldiers seemed to have a living mind. They could only scream and could not speak, but there should be some kind of way to contact each other. As they were dragged by the chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge, these corpse soldiers were actually helping each other, pulling and entangling together and forming some kind of battle formation.
The weapons in the hands of the corpse soldiers were inserted into the ground simultaneously to stop the drag.
Moreover, so many corpse soldiers were pulling on the same chain together, trying to break the chain. Surprisingly, the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens stepped up to answer the doubts. “These are not zombies but living people.”
Alex said, “You must be mistaken, right? The bodies are so heavy with corpse aura, and the joints on the bodies are stiff. If those were living people, how could they withstand it? The corpse aura would have corroded and broken the souls.”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens explained, ”In this world, there is something called the human corpse. They are like corpses, except they are really humans, which is also considered a kind of body refining! The people pioneered this because they could not continue developing their cultivation. Moreover, their life expectancy is drawing to a close, and they did not want to die. So they found a unique solution to solve the problem, which is to refine their physical body into zombies. Thus, they are actually not dead, their souls did not die. This way, they have achieved immortality.”
Alex staggered. “They don’t want to be humans but choose to be corpses?”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens answered, “The corpses also have the opportunity to transform back into humans. So, the people who created this faction of the great left themselves a lifeline. Unfortunately, not many people would end up successful. Those who practiced this path, about 90% end up dead for real. The others who are lucky not to die might face the possibility that their cultivation cannot progress any level higher. Only one in ten thousand people can return to flesh, and their cultivation might be greatly improved.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2487
Alex was shocked after hearing that there was such an operation. However, the probability of one in ten thousand was too low.
“Do these few really have the strength of the golden immortal? But I think, except for a little thick skin, the others are not much?”
“Under the lack of rules, this kind of creature also faced the general trend of decreasing battle power.”
Alex nodded. The general trend was indeed so. Otherwise, this kind of corpse people would become the biggest bug.
Seeing the corpse people showing all kinds of abilities to fight against Persephone’s Folly Bridge to break free from the top of the chain, Alex and Daya immediately went over to kill them. If one did not know how to cherish this good opportunity, do they even have brains?
Boom…
Alex took out the Heaven Flipping Seal and used it to smash people viciously.
One by one, the sound was astounding.
Daya did not go up but thrust the branch in her hand fiercely into the ground. In the blink of an eye, countless vines burrowed out of the ground, winding toward the eighteen corpse soldiers, these vines were very thin, but incomparably tough, as sharp as steel wire, and covered in barbs.
Alex saw the corpse soldier desperately struggling and was strangled after these vines wrapped around the corpse soldier. There were two of them whose arms were cut off.
One needed to know, these corpse soldiers had an extremely strong defense, which was hard as steel that even flying swords could not penetrate. Surprisingly, the vines did heavy damage.
Alex smashed over five or six corpse soldiers, and he could not help but be attracted to those vines.
Imagine, if these vines strangled him, it would definitely be enough to kill him.
“Are these vines of yours so powerful? Why didn’t you use it earlier?” Alex asked.
Just a moment ago, he had not sacrificed Persephone’s Folly Bridge. He was beaten up by these corpse soldiers and was in pain and was almost in tears. Daya was also hammered several times, her arms now filled with bruises. Now, everything had become surprisingly easy.
Was it not a waste of effort to suffer?
Daya shook her head. “It cannot be used just now. The mental storms were invalid. I’m afraid you would need these chains to restrain them.”
Alex thought it made sense.
The divine X-ray vision allowed him to see the corpse soldiers being entangled by the iron chains at Persephone‘s Folly Bridge. Their corpse aura was being absorbed by the chain and passed onto Persephone’s Folly Bridge. He was not sure where those went eventually.
“Kill!”
***
The Miller family members at the back saw the eighteen corpse soldiers the ancestor had refined and arranged were surprisingly quickly killed, one by one, their expressions changed.
”There is no way out. We can only beg our ancestors!”
“Quickly, retreat!”
A group of people retreated with fire and rushed into the Miller family’s forbidden place and into the ancestral hall.
There was a mechanism formation there. After manipulating it, a teleportation doorway appeared, and after entering, the portal disappeared.
The Miller family’s core personnel saw a divine coffin suspended on an altar a few minutes later. There were ninety nine blood- red thick chains cutting across the divine coffin. But, the Miller family members who were present each covered their mouths in full horror as they saw on the other end of these chains.
Each chain was connected to a black cage.
In the cage, a variety of demonic beasts were bound. They were dragons, phoenixes, rare eight armed apes and monkeys, and all kinds of unnamed demons, and in one of the cages, they also saw a certain human!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2488
“What is this? What are these monsters? Why are they in our ancestral temple, connected to the divine coffin of our ancestor?”
“Are they demons? Are they stealing the ancestor‘s energy?”
The Miller family members all shouted in shock after seeing the scene in front of them.
Then, they looked at the aged clan member. The secret room inside this ancestral temple was a forbidden place among forbidden places. Even the core members could not just come in as they liked. Usually, it was only Old Lady Miller who came here, and the reason why the aged clan member knew how to go inside was that Old Lady Miller had made preparations, just in case something untoward happened to her. There was always a need for someone who could take care of the ancestor.
So, in fact, this was the oldest clan member’s first time here. He was equally shocked.
At this time, with the ninety- nine iron ropes attached to the cage, those demonic beasts seemed to sense a stranger here. They opened their eyes one by one and then stirred, followed by roars.
“Quack… So many descendants of the Miller family are here today. Where is that old demon woman? Why isn’t she here today?”
“To say that we are stealing the energy of Old Lady Miller is really shameless.”
“The Miller family is so violent and greedy. You won’t die in peace!”
“I will tear up the entire Miller family!”
The demonic beasts in the cage roared angrily, one after another. All kinds of curses that were incomparably fierce and vicious were thrown.
The huge iron cage rattled loudly. It was so noisy that they were almost going deaf.
Some powerful demonic beasts, with fierce eyes manifesting their phantasms, wanted to get out of the cage to eat people.
These descendants of the Miller family were so scared that they were all as quiet as a chill. Their faces were pale.
“Aunt, do you also not know what these things are?”
“Will they get out? There’s actually a dragon. Is this a real dragon?”
“Oh my god, there is a monk locked up in that cage, is he also captured by the ancestor? Are they so evil that they were captured by the ancestor and personally guarded?”
The descendants of the Miller family discussed among themselves, drawing even more angry curses from the demonic beasts.
“Who exactly is hideous and sinful?”
“The Miller family is the devil among men. Your ancestor is simply treacherous. Heaven and earth will not forgive him. The Miller family will be condemned by heaven and die without a burial place.”
An emaciated old dragon, with bones protruding, slammed the cage and roared, “The Miller family really has no bottom line. They set a trap to capture us and lock us in this place. That old fella sucked our blood for many years, which even the old devil in the demon world did not dare to do. The Miller family claims to be a well-known family. How dare they do such despicable things? It is really a disgrace to humanity. If you are so capable, then have three days and three nights of battle here!”
Finally, the Miller family’s elderly clansman spoke, “Do not panic. Now, I finally understand. These demonic beasts are prisoners and were the ancestor’s food. They are locked in cages with restricted mobility. The only value left in this life is to provide food to the ancestor’s constantly. You can see them like a pig, fattened up after slaughter… They are raised here. The ancestor would not kill them at once but would absorb their blood essence every moment. It is never-ending. Many wanted to die but could not.”
“Ah, so it’s a captive pig!”
“What about… What about that monk?”
“Don’t treat that monk as a human being. Just treat him as pork as well.”
The Miller family discussed and then let out a long sigh. That explanation was much more comfortable.
Meanwhile, in the darkness of this secret room, Alex, Daya, and Pigsy were quietly hiding in the dark. When they had fought against the eighteen corpse soldiers earlier, they had long noticed that the Miller family had retreated together. Alex had divine X-ray vision and clearly saw the movements of these people at a glance. After that, he even saw how they had opened the secret room inside the ancestral shrine… The formation setup there was in front of his face. Nothing was hidden. After seeing it once, it was as simple as opening the door of their own house.
Alex and the others hurriedly chased after them after killing the eighteen soldiers, like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2489
As a result, such a shocking image was heard and seen.
“Ninety nine rope chains, connected to ninety nine… Pigsy, your brothers!”
“These pigs are really miserable, their blood is being sucked every day… But I remember, pig’s blood is very disgusting to drink!”
Alex whispered these words, which made Pigsy so angry that it wanted to vomit blood.
Who provoked it?
Daya continued, “These demonic beasts are fragile because their blood essence has been over extracted. Their foundation was hurt long ago. What is left now is the outer layer, but the original energy was lost long ago. The newly produced blood essence is a far cry from the original. Otherwise, they would have been able to transform.”
After a pause, she looked at the only human in the cage. That monk.
Slightly stunned, she said, “Alex, look at that monk, he seems familiar.”
Alex was not paying attention when she spoke. Now, he looked where Daya was pointing and his heart skipped a beat. The monk was also emaciated, bare bones protruding and in desolation. But, his original facial features could still be seen.
Alex did know him. He was Monk Pindola.
The one who once fought against the Undying Clan with Ksitigarbha’s Kala Temple, and also the one who came out of nowhere and blew Carol out of the water before Alex was at the island’s Higurashi Shrine.
“Arhat?”
“Didn’t he go to the Buddha Realm of the Western Paradise? He even told me that he was waiting for me over there.
“He’s actually being kept here, raised like a pig and his blood drunk.”
Pigsy did not know Monk Pindola, and protested, “Say all you want but don’t involve me. You are disrespecting pigs as if we pigs are unbearable.”
Alex said, “Sorry, sorry, sorry, I am not insulting pigs. In fact, I have a fondness for pigs. I love to eat braised pork head meat.”
When Pigsy heard this, he was about to get mad regardless.
Alex hastily pressed the pig’s mouth and said, “Don’t move. Look at the divine coffin. The Divine Pill is inside. Feel free to make a sound if you don’t want it.”
As soon as the Divine Pill was mentioned, the pig did not move.
At this moment, those of the Miller family had already started to wake the ancestor in the divine coffin.
The aged clansman kneeled on the ground and quickly said, “Dear Ancestor, the descendants are incompetent. Now, my Miller family is suffering from an unprecedented catastrophe. There is a dog scum called Alex outside, who has brought people to destroy my Miller family. Old Lady Miller was also killed by this guy. Dear Ancestor, now only you can save the Miller family. We respectfully ask you to come out!”
The divine coffin in mid-air did not move at all.
Those demonic beasts that were imprisoned all stared in awe after hearing those words.
If the Miller ancestor was going to come out of the gate early, wouldn’t that mean that their suffering was finally coming to an end? The future was promising!
After kneeling and saying this, that clan member of the Miller family immediately ran to a corner where there was an organ, the device to wake the ancestor.
Looking at the coffin, the woman gritted her teeth hard. The whole room was dead silent.
A minute later, the divine coffin suddenly trembled, then came a distant scream!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2490
Alex and Daya, who were hiding in the dark, felt a little creepy when they heard this.
Pigsy lay on the ground immediately, with his round ass constantly trembling, as if noticing its natural enemy was in the biological chains. That roar weakened its heart and four feet.
The Miller family members felt even worse. Almost everyone kneeled on the ground, prostrating and worshiping.
“This roar is not quite right.” Alex asked, “I’m afraid the old man in the coffin has turned into a demonic beast, right?”
Daya grabbed his hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”
Right now, she was emitting the glow of motherly love. Alex gently trembled and dared not think further. Just a few moments ago, she was lying on top of him…
Just then, the demonic beasts that were locked in the cage roared in unison.
“Ah, it hurts. The old b*stard is sucking our blood essence furiously!”
“Not good, the old b*stard is going to come out of the gate, and he’s going to suck us to death before he comes out!”
“Let’s fight!” a low, hoarse voice was heard abruptly from the black cage in the far corner.
In an instant, all the demonic beasts quieted down. They found that the one who said this was the bald monk brought in last, and suddenly they looked like fools.
A phoenix spoke, “What kind of nonsense fight is this? If you could fight, you would have done it earlier. Why have you suffered here for more than 3,000 years? These shackles and chains have long limited our cultivation. Monk, you have not said a word since you came in. You do not have any cards up your sleeves, right? If you have them, hurry up and use them. Otherwise, we will die!”
Alex hid in the dark. He was also thinking about how he could save Pindola. He finally decided to use the Xavion Sword, trying to see if the chains could be cut off.
However, he heard Monk Pindola speak. “I do have a way to get out of the trap, but I need your assistance to help me rip the chains off, and then I will come back to help you.”
A demonic beast shouted, “Monk, don’t you dilly-dally. What do you want to do? Hurry up! We can’t last long.”
“Good!”
Golden light erupted from the monk’s body, shooting out golden threads. The threads extended from the monk’s cage and entered the other cages.
Fire Phoenix was excited. “Monk, with your help, we have actually unsealed part of the cultivation.”
Pinola said, “Quick, lend me your cultivation, use the golden threads to cross the power!”
“Good, Great Monk. Whether we succeed or fail is at stake. If I can get out of the trap, I will join your Buddha Realm of the Western Paradise to be a female Buddha.”
The one who said this was a female demon. As she spoke, she transmitted some of her cultivations to the golden thread. It was a life-and-death situation. She had no choice.
The monk responded, “No problem, from now on, you are the first female Buddha in my Buddha Realm of the Western Paradise.”
Another great demon responded, “I will also enter your Spiritual Valley. I will not be a Bodhisattva, I want to be a golden Buddha phantom.”
The monk responded likewise, “Very well, you are the first golden Buddha phantom of Spirit Valley.”
“Great Monk, can I be a Buddha relic?”
“Yes, as long as you are bent on Buddhahood, one day, you will be a lifelong Buddha relic.”
“Great Monk, is there a Happy Buddha in Spiritual Valley? I would like to join you in your training.”
“Amitabha Buddha, I can introduce you to a more suitable candidate, Ksitigarbha’s Buddha. He is very strong and not at peace. Therefore, he will match you perfectly.”
Alex heard Pindola speak with twisted knowledge and logic, and he did not know what to say, especially at the end, where Pindola actually gave that mother bear demon the cultivation of a Happy Buddha. This act was simply devoid of morality.
The kneeling Miller family heard all of it!
“It is not good. The monk is going to get out of the cage. Quickly restrain him!”
“Kill him! Don‘t give him a chance!”
“Use the magic formation. There is a magic formation controller here…”
A group of people from the Miller family jumped up and hurriedly reacted, but it was too late.
Pindola fired up, his body shining with golden light and surrounded by suspended mysterious Buddhist patterns. He grabbed the shacldes penetrating his body, at that moment, his end of the shackles emitted a blood colored light. There were clanging sormds, but the golden light drowned them.
Finally, he bellowed, slowly pulling out the shackles.
