The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2541
She even stomped on the armor. Her behavior was simply ridiculous.
“This is so annoying! Why do such high-level battle suits not have the function to expand automatically? What trash!”
Alex sighed after seeing her act like this. “These battle suits are probably made to be used in this place, so they’re made to fit the owner. You’re just too big.”
Shirley didn’t like that statement. “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? How am I too big? You’re just too small, you little Nutfeller.”
“What do you mean by nut?”
“Your little peanut!”
Alex was speechless. ‘This is clearly an insult. I accidentally allowed her to slide that right into the conversation.’
Shirley then looked at the ring Alex took. “What’s inside?”
Alex brought out another battle suit “There’s one more in here, but it’s the same size, so save the disappointment. But… I think there’d be no problem if you wanted this instead. It’s stretchy.”
“What?”
Alex pointed at the only thing left on Alyssa’s corpse. It was a pair of white hot pants.
During the fight, Alex noticed that the hot pants were a rather powerful treasure, specifically when Shirley was kicking Alyssa in the crotch. Moreover, it had good elasticity.
At first, Shirley was slightly disgusted by the idea of this. However, she got embarrassed after thinking about how she was always naked in front of a man. Despite being just a skeleton, she immediately took it off the corpse, hiding away as she tried it on.
Other than that, Alex noticed a bib in the ring as well. Not sure of what it was for, he decided to give it to Shirley as well.
With this, Shirley looked as if she was wearing a bikini.
“Hey, that’s pretty good. You look like those skeleton pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean,” Alex complimented her.
“Pirates of the Caribbean? What is that?”
Alex explained to her that it was a very interesting series of fantasy swashbuckler films. Yet out of everything she could ask about, she asked, “Are the female pirates pretty?”
He pondered before answering, “Yeah, very much so.”
Shirley replied, “When we get back, I will watch it if I get the chance to.”
Alex decided not to continue this conversation and pointed at Alyssa’s corpse instead. “Go absorb some bone patterns first. The yellow ones can probably help you regain all the soul power you lost from your fractures. Oh and, you don’t have to be that rash in your future battles, okay? Safety first, if we really can’t fight, we can just run.”
“I know I know, you grandpa,” Shirley muttered, seemingly displeased as she started absorbing the bone patterns.
However, it was evident that she was now friendlier toward Alex. They had experienced life and death twice, facing enemies together. These near death experiences had built up a friendship that couldn’t be easily replaced.
Compared to that unreliable pig demon, Alex was surprisingly happy with Shirley’s contributions.
Swoosh!
The yellow bone patterns flowed right into her bones like water. Not only did it strengthen her golden bone patterns, but it was also rapidly increasing her soul power too.
Just then, Alex felt as if a rain cloud was forming right above his head. It was pitch black and getting thicker by the second.
“Is that… the tribulation cloud?!”
“Yo Hancock, are you going to cross a tribulation now?” Alex was very shocked, turning to look at Shirley. He then understood how this occurred. Since this place was concentrated with law power, there weren’t any limits for the beings here.
Without flesh and blood, the lightning tribulation ignored the body’s state. As long as the soul had reached a certain level, it would activate a lightning tribulation.
“Congratulations, you’re going to be Immortal!”
“Congratulations my a*s, I don’t even have flesh! My soul is just wrapped around my bones. How am I supposed to cross a tribulation like this?” Shirley was so upset that there was not a hint of happiness in her voice.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2542
Shirley stared at the black tribulation cloud above her head. She felt as if the lightning was about to strike at any second. Her scalp felt numb. Her heart was pounding out of her chest at this point.
However, these were all normal reactions.
Since the soul was made out of Yin energy, ghosts would generally give out a chilling aura as well. Such entities were terrified of lightning. Typically, both flesh and bones would be protecting the soul, completely covering it up. It was completely different this time. Shirley’s soul would have to endure the strike of several lightning bolts. No one would be able to handle that.
Alex handed her the helmet Alyssa used. “Wear this. It highly protects and enhances soul power. Besides, just tie these clothes to your body!”
“Don’t worry. It’s just lightning. Think about it. You’re now crossing the Immortalization tribulation. If you succeed, you’d be Immortal. I don’t even get the chance to, no matter how much I want it. You should be proud of yourself. You’re way ahead of us.”
Shirley replied, “I wanted to be under you.”
Alex froze. “Hancock, don’t just crack a lewd joke out of nowhere. You’re going to be a bad influence on my pure self.”
Shirley buffed, but she wasn’t in the mood for small talks. “You’re going to have to cross a tribulation here soon too. I hope you’re still going to be just as cheerful as you are now. It’s easier said than done, you know.”
Alex replied, “If something does go wrong, I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, if you do help, I’ll be dying quicker… If l do die, you… Ah, whatever. If you’re going to cross a lightning tribulation here, too, you probably won’t be able to get out of here either. And you won’t be able to present my will to everyone.”
“But I do have a way to help you…”
Shirley didn’t seem to believe Alex’s words.
This was within expectations. Only super emperors had helped people cross tribulations, after all. To her, Alex sounded like he was merely bluffing.
After wearing the helmet and suit, she signaled Alex to go further away.
Just then, the lightning struck right down upon her.
Boom!
The first lightning strike was enough to send her helmet flying off. Her battle suit was torn into pieces as well.
Shirley herself was now vomiting blood… The blood wasn’t actual human blood. It was black soul blood. Her entire demeanor had shriveled, her soul power had been reduced to half.
‘There’s no way I can succeed in crossing this Immortal lightning tribulation.’
Shirley found this situation quite hopeless. Before the second lightning struck down, she turned to Alex and waved to him. She seemed to be bidding her goodbyes.
Alex took a glance at the tribulation cloud above, then sighed and rushed up to it.
Shirley was stunned after seeing this. “Are you insane? Aren’t you just digging your own grave going head-on like that? Run, you still have time!”
Alex said, “Remember something, you owe me two lives.”
Shirley was speechless. Her mind was going to explode at this point. ‘Is this man crazy? How is he still bluffing now? Is he addicted to bluffing or something?’
‘More importantly, I’m currently crossing a tribulation, for god’s sake! And he hasn’t crossed this Immortal tribulation either! Rushing over is just wishing for death!’
“How dumb can you be? I’m not even your woman. I don’t need you to experience life and death with me, so get lost!” Shirley screamed.
She then noticed the tribulation cloud changing rapidly. It was now darker than before, the pressuring aura seemed to have become thicker as well. This indicated that the lightning tribulation had included Alex as well. He couldn’t run even if he wanted to now.
“You… Idiot..!”
Shirley no longer had any strength even to diss him, yet she heard Alex say, “I hope it doesn’t run away this time.”
‘What?’
She didn’t understand what Alex meant by that. However, she realized that Alex had stomped the ground so hard that he left a pit under his feet, leaping straight up to the middle of the tribulation cloud.
“I… What the f*ck?!” Shirley couldn’t help but curse.
‘Does he have issues? The lightning is striking down, yet you’re voluntarily taking it head-on?’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2543
Although she was yelling at him, Shirley was filled with mixed feelings.
At first, she hated Alex’s guts. She hated him for destroying Homan Technology, which she built with blood, sweat, and tears. The worst part was that he once made her clothes explode, hence seeing her naked body. He even tied her to a bed, restricting all her movements. All this made her wish she could eat him alive.
However, she realized an exceptional trait in Alex after they decided on working together. He was very protective of his family and allies. Being his ally was completely different from being his enemy. The difference was pronounced as she watched him voluntarily take the lightning to help with her tribulation crossing.
This action had nearly melted her heart
On the contrary, Alex was currently thinking of this, ‘Lightning tribulation, you ’ve got to be fair!’
‘Since you’re supposed to be an Immortal lightning tribulation, you should at least strike nine times. If you don’t like that number, I can take nine hundred even! I don’t mind at all…’
Using the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, he opened the furnace of forbidden spells.
He was here to steal the power from the lightning tribulation. Since he had learned the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, he wasn’t exactly walking the typical path of cultivation.
The energy from a lightning tribulation was rather nutritious to him. It would be able to help open up his pressure points and his golden cores… Not only did his body have golden cores and pressure points, but his soul also had certain pressure points as well. Those were even more important than the ones on his flesh body too.
Most of the time, the lightning tribulation seemed to hide from him, mainly due to his forbidden path. Not only did his tribulation crossing stop completely, but he also couldn’t even bask in the Golden Light. Since then, he hadn’t had a proper lightning tribulation; all of them had been cut down.
Seeing as electrical energy exploded within the cloud, Alex no longer wanted to wait as he activated the flames immediately.
“Absorb!”
Ding!
Several lightning strikes felt the extraordinary function within the flames, rushing into it as if it were moths attracted to light. After the flames swallowed the energy, it immediately turned it around and replenished Alex’s soul power.
However, the expected situation didn’t happen at all.
The golden core in his soul power didn’t open up at all. The hidden bone patterns had completely absorbed the power in his skeleton. It even caused a chain reaction with Ymir’s Divine Bones, making those bone patterns even stronger.
“Ah, good stuff!”
It felt so nice that Alex nearly moaned from the sensation.
Ymir’s Divine Bone surely was the best divine bone on Earth. He could sense that the bone was radiating a strange flow of energy after receiving large amounts of power from the tribulation, sending this energy to his other bones… With this, his skeleton was slowly growing as well.
“This is… Is it helping me recover?”
Since Alex had evolved after being cocooned, his body became slightly smaller. His bones had shrunk as well.
Although he looked ten years younger, he wasn’t old before either. Hence, it was quite inconvenient that he looked like a teenager, especially in front of his beautiful wives. It just didn’t feel right at all.
Now that he grew again, he didn’t have to worry any further. He enjoyed all the changes that have been made to his body, the lightning tribulation seemed to be evolving his skeleton once more.
Despite this, a sudden Earthly power appeared, flashing by like a mere intrusive thought. After that, several tribulation clouds dissipated as the tribulation faded away.
“Damn it. It still ran away!”
Alex was unhappy. He couldn’t help but complain in his mind. ‘This nutritious meal ended up becoming fast food.’
He then pondered. ‘What was that Earthly conscience?’
‘What kind of law power does the lightning tribulation even contain?’
Swoosh!
The Golden Light of Lightning Tribulation descended upon Shirley.
The weird thingwas that it was just a mere ball of light this time, shooting straight into Shirley’s body forcefully. After that, the lightning tribulation vanished into thin air.
It seemed to be expressing its resentment.
“Hey Fairy Hancock, how does it feel being a fairy now?”
Shirley, on the other hand, stared at him blankly. “You..? What kind of monster are you?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2544
Shing!
A pink halo formed around Shirley’s body. It was filled with faint talismans. Those were the signs of a successful Immortalization, the Immortal Wheel of Life.
With this, Shirley finally snapped back to reality, accepting that she had succeeded in Immortalization, becoming the first Immortal within the new generation of America.
“I… Really am Immortal now! I actually succeeded!”
She looked at Alex, seemingly excited.
Alex nodded, grabbing the broken helmet and clothes. He then shook his head pitifully and said, “Too bad about these two though. They’re actually pretty good tools.”
However, he quickly turned back and approached Shirley, tugging on her hot pants lightly. “I really didn’t expect this little thing to be the strongest treasure. It’s completely fine even after taking a bolt of lightning. I’ll bet that some powerful woman wore this.
And it should be pretty ancient, with a strong scent to it too.”
Shirley was just about to thank Alex, yet she became agitated when hearing him say that.
‘Ancient? Strong scent?’
She couldn’t take this anymore. “Alex, you can act decently, yet how are you so annoying sometimes? I wish I could bite you to release my anger.”
Alex let out a cough. “I guess that’s just what I’m best at. I make women hate me but love me at the same time.”
After doing some small talk, the two packed their things and left immediately.
Tribulations did, in fact, cause a considerable commotion, so they were worried they might attract unwanted attention. Not only did bone demons roam around this area, they even had to prevent cultivators from the outside.
The two walked around the forest for a while and made sure that no one was following them, then returned to the cave.
More importantly, they had put in a lot of effort to set up a high-class formation around the cave. Not only could it hide their Chi, but it could also assist in the defense. With this, it could protect the people inside with maximum security.
After entering the cave, they didn’t expect to see Pigsy in there already. It had run back on its own.
Seeing Alex and Shirley safe, Pigsy felt slightly awkward. “Alex, uhm… I didn’t run away… I came back to look for help… What about that outsider?”
In the cave, Daya, Charming, and Ynes were all there. The only one missing was the Mystic Maiden. They then found out that the Mystic Maiden had gone looking for them, but she wasn’t back yet.
“She went out alone?” Alex couldn’t help but worry, as the Mystic Maiden wasn’t all that strong.
Suddenly, the Mystic Maiden walked into the cave herself. “Are you worried about me? I already noticed you two on my way back”
She then turned to Shirley. “So you succeeded in Immortalization. Good, good!”
Initially, no one noticed the changes in Shirley. Now that the Mystic Maiden mentioned it, they all jumped slightly and looked at her.
Ynes was the most shocked out of them, mainly because she lived on the other side of this big world. In her area, one would have to go through nine realms of Imminent Immortal. For now, she was in the seventh realm, so she still needed more training and time to become Immortal.
Yet now, Shirley didn’t have to experience any of that and achieved Immortalization after her tribulation crossing.
Noticing Ynes’ confusion, the Mystic Maiden explained this all in simple terms…
The nine realms of Imminent Immortal was a hidden stage after Tribulation Crossing. It wasn’t a bad thing to experience the nine realms after Tribulation Crossing. On the contrary, it was better since it gave Immortals a more solid foundation.
Shirley might have succeeded in achieving Immortalization, but her Immortal Wheel of Life was weak. It was there, but that was about it. It would require a lot of time to build the foundation. If one were to go through nine realms of Imminent Immortal before Immortalization, they wouldn’t have to experience this weakened state.
When they continued asking about Shirley’s Tribulation Crossing, Alex took Alyssa’s corpse out of the storage ring and tossed it to the ground.
Pigsy rushed over, staring at the corpse skeleton with yellow bone patterns. “It looks like they really were yellow bone patterns. Alex, I really wasn’t running back then, you… Won’t think I’m an unloyal friend, right?”
Alex smiled. “Why would I?”
Pigsy laughed. “Yeah, yeah! We’re brothers! I knew you’d understand.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2545
Alex said, “Mhm, I never asked you to battle alongside me. You’re just a transport, after all. So just do a good job, be smart, and analyze when the situation gets dangerous.”
“You can escape alone if you think the enemy is too strong. Save yourself. Else I wouldn’t be able to find another transport as fast as you.”
Pigsy’s expression immediately turned gloomy, but it didn’t know what to say.
Alex ignored its little pity party and described everything that happened just now. He also mentioned the cultivator from another world and the scroll that recorded the language of Galaxy Nova, sharing it with everyone else.
A short while later, the group started discussing in the cave.
First, they read the books they obtained to understand more about the origins of the people from Galaxy Nova. Secondly, they looked into what Galaxy Nova knew about the Underworld, which they urgently needed. Thirdly, the thirteen ways to use bone patterns.
It was apparent that Galaxy Nova had done in-depth research on the Underworld. Hence, this wasn’t the first time they sent anyone here to train. They most likely found a specific entrance to send their excellent disciples in.
This was to change and train their bones to experience rebirthing, improving their talents in the process.
Swoosh!
A row of bone patterns appeared on the Mystic Maiden’s hand bone. It was arranged in an odd sequence, then turning into a weird dagger. It flew out at great speed, shooting onto the walls of the cave. A piece of the rock wall was sliced off as if it were merely butter.
Everyone was shocked, trying it out themselves as well.
“So not only can bone patterns strengthen the bones and soul, it can be used as weapons too. That’s so interesting.”
“It can also be combined with actual weapons. It can even be used to carve inscriptions and set up formations.”
“…”
The books in Alyssa’s ring were like an opening to a new world for them.
Alex, who had been researching ancient talismans for quite a while, noticed that these so-called bone patterns were very flexible, just like ancient talismans.
‘Isn’t this… Just another form of ancient talismans?’
However, these bone patterns exist in an extraordinary way. They could be more easily obtained compared to illusionary ancient talismans.
For an entire month, Alex and the others researched the functions of bone patterns, using them in various ways, then laying down an operation. With this, they found the Pool of Afterlife.
Later on, the group left the cave, decided to head in a direction, and slowly went forth.
They weren’t in a rush since they had help from the 3D map in Alex’s mind. Cooperating, they trained in a battle formation suitable for a siege named the Seven Deadly Assassins.
With six people and a pig, they were able to stand in seven different placements. Hunting for bone demons like this was much more rewarding.
Six months later, Alex still didn’t have any bone patterns on him, nor did he cross any tribulations or achieve Immortalization.
However, Ynes and Channing had succeeded in crossing their tribulations, achieving Immortalization. Daya, on the other hand, hadn’t achieved Immortalization as well. Yet, she managed to enter an unreplicable hidden realm that others couldn’t reach. This was related to the benefits from her reincarnation, the fate of the Goddess of Nature.
As for the Mystic Maiden, she was a special case. As someone who had bone patterns, hers were starting to disappear lately. Her green skeleton was now beginning to whiten as if it were turning into real bones.
The group went over a large mountain. They then saw a rundown temple at the foot of the mountain.
When everyone tried to approach and scout the area, a red light shot through the sky. It seemed as though it had sliced through the void without making any noise, striking straight at Shirley.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2546
All of a sudden, an arrow shot at them.
Alex and the others were all focused on the ruined temple that appeared out of nowhere, and as a result, a demonic arrow flew at Shirley‘s head.
“Watch out for the enemy attack!”
Daya was the closest to Shirley. She did not think twice and immediately reached out to grab the demonic arrow.
However, a bright red light shone. The arrow traveled so fast that it made no sound. Daya’s palm appeared greenish, which was the color of her bone markings at this moment.
After half a year of hunting bone demons and devouring bone lines, Daya’s body was now covered with dense blue bone markings. Her immortalization was also far beyond the early stage. With her hand, she would be able to grab a cannonball and shatter it. However, the reality was…
Swish!
The demonic arrow grazed her palm that was covered in bone markings. Then, it instantly shattered her finger bones. Her entire left hand was fractured.
The arrow, however, was only slightly deflected downward.
Roar!
At this moment, Shirley could only save herself.
Due to its fast speed, everyone was simply not prepared. She let out a roar and raised her hand to block.. At that very moment, that was the only thing she could do.
The demonic arrow with a red glow pierced through Shirley’s palm, which then ruthlessly pierced her chest. There was a big bang.
The golden bone marking made a dull and loud sound, and Shirley’s body flew more than ten meters backward. These descriptions might seem lengthy, but all these happened very quickly.
It was only half a second later.
Swish, swish!
Suddenly, two more red glows appeared. This time the target was Daya and the Mystic Maiden.
“Get down!”
Alex’s eyes were filled with anger as if they would explode at any time. He roared. With his anger at its boiling point, he grabbed Athena’s big golden shield, ramming it into one of the demonic arrows that was coming at the Mystic Maiden. At the same time, he stood before Daya with the Xavion Sword, cutting the arrow into two.
Clang!
The big golden shield emitted a deafening sound. However, the quality of this shield was quite good. After blocking the demonic arrow, it did not leave a single scar, which showed the hardness of the material. Meanwhile, Alex‘s Xavion Sword broke the demonic arrow… But there was still one of them, flying at his body and hitting his ribs.
Snap!
One of his ribs shot off. Alex was stunned. In the past few months, the bones in his body had evolved divinely, relying on a piece of Ymir‘s Divine Bone. Now his bones had undergone three evolutions, shedding two layers of periosteum. Regular swords wouldn’t have been able to leave a mark, but now his rib was broken by a broken remnant of a sword.
The most annoying thing was up till now, he still didn’t know who did it.
“Darling?!”
Daya was anxious. She instantly used the Saintly Luna Branch and inserted it into the ground. Soon, vines appeared instantly from the ground, entangling each other and wove into a vine wall. It was a one meter thick defense.
“I’m fine!” Alex replied weakly.
The Ymir’s Divine Bone on his waist vertebrae resonated slightly. The broken rib bone emitted a faint golden aura, dissolving the dangerous rule energy from the demonic arrow. Then, the rib bone quickly healed.
“How are you?”
Alex saw one of Daya’s hands that had exploded almost out of existence. Boundless fury arose even faster in his heart.
Daya was very tough. “It’s okay. It will take some time to grow out. Go and see Shirley.”
Shirley’s chest had a large hole. There were seven or eight broken bones. She sustained serious injuries. Luckily, she was not in an entirely physical body. Her heart was not in the chest but was replaced with a soul power instead.
It was also fortunate that Daya had grabbed the demonic arrow with her hand.
Otherwise, Shirley would really have been finished had she been shot in the head.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2547
Another arrow was shot.
This time, it landed on Daya’s vine wall. There was a huge explosion as if a missile had made contact with it. Vines were flying everywhere in the air.
Nonetheless, this shot was blocked.
These were not ordinary vines but a natural divine art created by the Saintly Luna Branch. The defense was incredibly impressive, even a real missile couldn’t blast through it.
“Someone’s coming!”
Pigsy shouted, its head sticking out. It saw a guy in black armor rushing over like a ghost. He was full of a murderous aura.
This person was not the one who shot the arrow, the one who shot the arrow was hiding next to the ruined temple, still waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
“It’s the Earthly Immortal!” Alex saw the cultivation level emanating from that person’s body and in the black eye sockets.
The murderous thoughts in his heart were like boiling water berthing, which was hard to suppress. “An Earthly Immortal son of a b*tch! How dare he come to hunt us! He has a death wish!”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens said, “Don’t be careless. Besides these two, there might be others.”
After saying that, the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens unleashed her natural divine ability, enveloping everyone here with it before opening the hidden boundary, and then moved quickly toward the edge.
In the past six months, they had hunted countless bone demons and obtained many heavenly treasures, and their strength had significantly improved.
Even the weakest, Channing, had reached the Immortalization realm, and the bone markings on his body had turned cyan. The Mystic Maiden was at least ten times stronger than Channing, or probably more. This was also the reason why she could now open the boundary and envelope so many people with it.
Swish!
The man in black rushed behind the vine wall, and when he looked, no one was there.
‘How could that be possible?’
“Where are they?”
“It’s impossible to disappear into thin air!”
The man checked the place and muttered to himself.
Alex and the others were actually right next to him. Still, the secret technique of the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens was so counterintuitive that not a single trace of breath could be felt. Moreover, Alex and the others were slightly surprised because the black-robed man was not speaking the language of the Galaxy Nova, but one that was very similar to American English.
Channing recognized it right then and there. “This is the language of the Olympus Tribe.”
“The Olympus Tribe… Came in, too?”
“Damn it!”
At this moment, Alex caught an opportunity. That Olympus Tribe’s earthly immortal was looking around airrrlessly. So, he kicked at the vine wall created by Daya. However, he did not expect that the toughness of this vine wall was far beyond his imagination, and it had barbs growing on it. So, not only did he fail to kick the vine wall over, he stumbled and almost shattered the bones of his toes.
At this moment, his back was facing Alex. Alex was waiting for this.
There was no sound. Almost in an instant, the golden divine spear that Alex had obtained from Athena instantly pierced through the back of that man’s head and the vestibule.
The man suffered a supposedly fatal and heavy injury but did not die immediately and tried to make a sound. However, he was firmly suppressed by Ynes with her soul power. She had dense bone markings on her body. Ynes used a short knife to slash at the man‘s neck, chopping off his head.
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens instantly opened the boundary and covered the Earthly Immortal, who was sent five hundred meters away.
“You guys get on the aircraft and rush to the ice wolf beast den we found earlier. I’ll go and deal with the one who shot the arrow,” Alex said. The flying machine was obtained from Alyssa.
They now had as many as three of them, and before, they could not use them because of the language barrier. But now, they had researched it, and the aircraft was magnificent and could be used for escaping or attacking.
The Mystic Maiden said, “That one’s strength exceeds the Earthly Immortal by quite a bit. I’ll help you out.”
The flying machine swished up into the air and disappeared far away.
Alex, with the Mystic Maiden’s assistance, quietly headed toward the ruined temple.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2548
“There’s really more than one. There’s another one!”
Alex and the Mystic Maiden quietly headed toward the other side of the mountain foot and hid in a tree.
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens’ Hiding Avatar was simply a super-evolved version of the chameleon. Not only did it come with its domain, but it could also change its surface color and blend in with its surroundings.
Even with divine thoughts, one would find it difficult to detect. On top of that, the scope of divine thought was very limited in this strange netherworld.
The tree branches were tiny.
The two had minimal space to hide and land.
To not shake the branch, Alex lay on the branch, and the Mystic Maiden rode on his waist. Alex was panting a little and whispered, “Are you considering losing weight? You’re too heavy. My bones are going to break.”
The Mystic Maiden knocked his skull lightly. “Lose weight? I am smaller and more delicate than that big horse Shirley, right? The last time when she was on top of you, you didn’t ask her to lose weight, did you? I saw that you were happy and couldn’t help but be pressed together a little longer.”
Alex was ashamed. “When did this happen? Nonsense!”
“The last time when we besieged the Black Blind Bone Demon.”
“Uh… She was injured back then. I was saving her. The situation was urgent.”
“Is it not an emergency now?” the Mystic Maiden asked. As she spoke, she saw the guy, who had just shot arrows to wound Shirley and Daya, in front of the ruined temple door. He was wearing a black robe, hiding in the corner. His black eye sockets seemed to have electric light flashing. He was looking this way.
The Mystic Maiden hurriedly shut up. She spoke telepathically then, “Be careful. You might be discovered.”
Alex responded, “He must have discovered the abnormality of this branch. You are really much heavier than Shirley.”
The Mystic Maiden was a little upset. “Don’t compare me to her. She is not qualified yet.”
Swish!
She flicked the air.
The wind from the finger was soft, and one couldn’t feel anything. But, a few hundred meters away, a tree branch made a crunching sound and swayed. This immediately caught this person‘s attention. His gaze moved.
On the other side, another companion turned into a black stream of light and hurriedly went in that direction.
The Mystic Maiden whispered a few words into Alex’s ear and instantly led Alex away.
Their target was the guy who shot the arrow.
Swish!
It was so fast that the air fluctuated as it broke the sound barrier.
The man who shot the arrow was very keen and immediately sensed it and shot an arrow with his bow. At this moment, Alex rushed out of the Mystic Maiden’s hidden boundary and appeared, teleporting to attract the man’s attention.
The red demonic arrows were in close pursuit, not moving an inch away from Alex.
Alex held Athena’s golden shield against his back. Although he was able to block the demonic arrows successfully, each impact still made him feel very uncomfortable, and he almost toppled over to the ground several times.
“This demonic arrow is a rare treasure.”
“This person’s cultivation level doesn’t seem to be that great. Heavenly Immortal? It should be a heavenly mortal instead, right?”
He roared, “F*cking Olympus Tribe. If you have the guts, come here. Let me skin you alive!”
The bright light in the man’s eyes grew even brighter, probably surprised that Alex could tell where they came from. However, he did not leave. The other person had come back and caught up.
Purpose achieved!
At this moment, Alex was just a target. The actual fatal move was from the Mystic Maiden!
Swish…!
The Mystic Maiden appeared right behind the archer. Instead of attacking directly, she instantly threw out an object at the back of the archer’s head… It was a black ball of something.
The archer was completely focused on Alex. He did not expect a stealthy enemy to appear quietly behind him. It was a despicable mess as a large group of black mist-like objects smashed upon his body. Those objects immediately became a riotous mass. Actually, those living things looked like dense small insects. All of them were stuck to his body.
Eye sockets, nostrils, ear holes, mouth…
Body skeleton.
They were densely packed and began to drill into his skin and bite him.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2549
The archer roared madly, shivering all over his body. In an instant, he could not see anymore. His eyes were full of black worms. This kind of worm was what Alex had found when they were hunting the black blind bone demon that looked a lot like some kind of poison. However, their most important function was to cause blindness.
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens had no honorable cultivation as a goddess and did not speak of martial virtue when she faced her enemy. She had successfully made a move, and she immediately retreated.
She returned to stealth mode again. She was definitely an excellent assassin.
On the other end, Alex no longer tried to flee and chose to go head to head with the archer.
Without the archer’s backlash, he was able to go all out.
“Die!”
“A mole and you dare to strike at me? Kneel!”
The man spoke coldly and looked askance at Alex. He was tired of Alex only knowing how to escape before this. So now Alex had stopped fighting against him, just as he wanted.
What was he expecting?
The kid was clearly going to fight him with a lance, and the next second he suddenly grabbed a big bell and covered his head.
“Want to cover me? Dream on!”
He raised his weapon, a golden glaive, and chopped at the big bell.
The Requiem Clock emitted a violent vibration, shaking his soul power to the point of collapse. His ear hole was full of roaring sounds and countless Buddhist chants as if an old monk had reached out and pressed his hand on his brain, telling him to put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha.
He was confused for a moment. However, it was this momentary confusion that killed him.
Alex‘s golden spear, with its endless murderous intent and heaven-destroying intent, was fiercely aimed at his eyebrow.
The man was stimulated by the murderous intent and woke up at the critical moment.
The glaive met the attack at lightning speed. Surprisingly, it made contact with Alex’s gun.
Nevertheless, in the next second, his head flew up into the sky.
Behind him, the Mystic Maiden emerged, a skeleton of a wealthy woman with an exquisite charm covered in a red tabard underneath, holding the Xavion Sword in her hand.
Alex was still just a target.
“Ah!”
The man’s soul was hissing.
“Damn it, you two dogs, all of you are fornicators!”
”And that thieving monk, damn him! Monks are all traitors!”
Clinton only used his intention to persuade him to put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha, but it turned out that he was helping others to decapitate his head. How could he not be angry?
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens pointed at Alex and said, “You can call him a fornicator, but you can’t call me a fornicator.”
The Olympus Tribe man, whose soul was not gone yet but was also weak to the point of disappearance, cursed, “Fornicators in collusion who do not know shame. Your son will be cursed!”
The Mystic Maiden beheaded him with the Xavion Sword.
Then, the two quietly touched the blind archer.
The Mystic Maiden had a solid Yin. She used sound to confuse the archer’s senses and took out a formation trap that was prepared long ago. Then, she lured him into it alive to kill him.
“Roar, I am not convinced. I don’t want to die!”
The man let out a roar before he died, but everything was a given.
The Mystic Maiden grabbed the bow and arrow, which were firmly in his hand, took a look, and was moved. ”It is the Arash’s Bow, the prehistoric divine artifact. No wonder it is so powerful.”
Alex also looked at it. “It seems to be broken.”
The Mystic Maiden nodded. “And fortunately so, otherwise you would have died long ago… However, I have a way to repair it.”
At this moment, a roar and a Buddhist hymn could be heard from the ruined temple.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2550
“What’s the situation?”
“There’s someone inside the ruined temple and a Buddha cultivator?”
Alex and the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens, who had just finished a great battle, ended up being a little confused when they heard the sound coming from the ruined temple.
Alex threw a few Zharvakko talismans at himself.
Earlier, when the archer shot at the golden shield with the demonic red arrow, there was really quite a lot of powerful energy transmitted into his body, shaking and hurting the bones. This was also because he had Ymir’s Divine Bone in his body. Otherwise, if it were someone else, the bones would have been shaken loose.
Black stuff flowed on Alex’s bones. The injury was healing rapidly.
He glanced at the corpses on the ground and said, “You acted too quickly. This last guy should have been left alive.”
The Mystic Maiden hummed, “He had such a filthy mouth.”
Alex replied, “This guy’s mouth is filthy enough, but is that all you care about? Do you think we can give birth to a son?”
“You’re the one who will give birth,” the Mystic Maiden answered angrily.
“Uh… Okay, I’ll give birth.” Alex conceded, as he did not want to quarrel over this kind of unhealthy issue. He looked inside the ruined temple. At this moment, it was as if the wind and waves were calm. Nothing happened.
“I really want to know, what is the situation inside?” The Mystic Maiden said, “Is that even a question? It must be the people of the Olympus Tribe inside. Those at the door are just minions who cannot even enter the main door of the ruined temple.”
“No way!” Alex was shocked.
The strength of those few just now was also amazing. If it wasn’t for the Mystic Maiden’s talent that was really powerful, plus the fact that her strength had improved by leaps and bounds in the past half a year or so, she could also attack in close combat. This time, Alex would have to deal with it alone. It would most likely end up badly.
At this time.
Once again, sounds came from the ruined temple. This time, it was the sound of talking. A man was yelling, ”Logres, come in immediately.”
‘Uhm…’
Alex whispered and asked the Mystic Maiden, “Who is Logres?”
The Mystic Maiden kicked the corpse on the ground. “It should be him!”
The two quickly came together. They originally wanted to escape. After all, the outside minions were bosses of the Earthly Immortals. They suspected the dead Logres to be a Heavenly Immortal. The one inside was the most powerful. Once the two of them were inside, they would surely die.
However, just at this time, Alex heard an old monk’s voice in his mind, “Amitabha Buddha, you have a destiny with my Buddhist sect. I have a grand Buddha opportunity here to give you. Foreign thieves could not obtain this. You must quickly come in to help.”
Alex froze.
He found that he and the ruined temple’s old monk seemed to have established some kind of mysterious spiritual connection and could reach communication through this mysterious ruined temple.
Alex immediately discussed it with the Mystic Maiden. After that, he answered, “What chance? Old Monk, you are trying to trap me, right? The guy fighting you inside is countlessly stronger than me. Do you want me to be cannon fodder?”
The old monk was anxious and repeatedly denied it, claiming that it was a real chance related to the Dairaionji Temple.
Apparently the battle inside was chaotic. After the old monk revealed this, there was no sound from the inside. After that, another person was yelling successively, asking his little brother, Logres, to hurry in to help.
Unfortunately, this ruined temple seemed to have a powerful boundary, completely shielding the scene inside. Even if Alex used his X-ray vision, he could not see the situation inside.
The Mystic Maiden thought for a moment and stomped her foot. “What are you afraid of? Success lies in the details. Since it is your chance, isn’t it shameful to push it away? Go in!”
Alex was ruthless. “Okay, go in.”
He took off the black robe of the corpse on the ground and put it on. The size was just right, and at first glance, it was not a mortal product. The quality was not much worse than that of Alyssa of Galaxy Nova.
This could make the soul power and bone fusion greater. Of course, the main thing was that the defense was very good.
