Ch. 2621..2630
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2621
Everyone was stunned.
How was that possible?
The Carefree Immortal King was a king of Silent Hill and had dominated the Underworld for an era. He was a living legend among the trialists, so how could he possibly kick the bucket in such a crude and brutal way?
This was illogical!
Let alone the onlookers watching the drama unfold, even Alex was dumbfounded.
Was it logical that he had just blown up an Immortal King just like that?
‘Since when did I become so powerful?’
“Bro!”
The remaining lady on the flying chariot screamed hysterically.
She was none other than Felicity Garrredib, Freeborn Garredib’s biological sister. Similarly, her combat power wasn’t low, and her body was full of dark golden bone patterns. She was a powerful cultivator at Immortal Monarch who possessed a six- layered Immortal Wheel of Life.
Initially calm, Felicity didn’t take Alex seriously amid all that chaos.
With the strength of their siblings coupled with their sister-in-law, she was confident that they could destroy all the trialists and were bound to acquire the Pool of Reincarnation without any difficulty. Yet, a minor character like Alex dared provoke her brother, Freeborn. Felicity just wanted to laugh at that moment as there was really such an idiot who would die without knowing the cause of death.
Subsequently, someone had really died. The dead person was not Alex but Felicity’s brother.
Fairy Fay, who was busy fighting with Xerxes, suddenly heard Felicity’s cries tinged with despair. After she turned around abruptly, she felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Her cultivation partner, her husband, turned out to be dead.
“Ahh! Hubby!”
Fairy Fay almost spat a mouthful of blood.
On the other hand, Felicity even released all of her Immortal Wheel of Life and wanted to fight Alex to the death.
“He’s dead! You bast*rd, just go to hell!”
At the same time, the other few golden bone demons that had been pulling the flying chariot rushed to kill Alex.
Wham!
Alex slammed a golden bone demon hard on the ground with his Medusa’s Aegis Shield. Its head burst on the spot.
Meanwhile, he choked the other one with his own hands and snapped its neck.
Felicity impacted Alex with the seven-layered Immortal Wheel of Life. To her surprise, all her action was futile before Alex’s absolute strength. Clenching his right fist, he lashed out the punch that was imbued with various energy and attributes, as if it were a meteor from space.
Smash!
It sounded like shattering glass.
Alex’s powerful punch crushed Felicity’s Immortal Wheel of Life. All seven layers of the Wheel of Life burst into pieces.
Felicity screamed in horror and was dispirited on the ground, with 80% of her soul power dissipating right away.
Hiss!
“F*ck!”
“How ferocious!”
Everyone’s expression changed drastically. Such a result was completely unexpected. No one thought highly of Alex earlier, and even Alex’s friend, Xerxes, was about to run away, but he unexpectedly turned the tables in just a few short moments of breathing. The Carefree Immortal King exploded from the blow, destroying Felicity’s Wheel of Life and reduced to becoming a mortal.
Meanwhile, Fairy Fay wanted to come over to help Felicity, but Xerxes pestered her incessantly.
Roar!
Xerxes completely dragonized.
Alex saw his complete appearance, which was a little different from the dragon in his mind. He knew that when he thought about Neela’s form, it was the eternal dragon race from the eastern world. Meanwhile, the dragon Xerxes had now transformed into looked incongruous and seemed like a lizard skeleton with wings.
However, his combat power increased greatly after complete Dragonification.
He stomped Fairy Fay to the ground and instantly crushed her head under the gazes of everyone.
However, his battle record was way inferior to Alex’s.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Xerxes ran back to size up Alex from head to toe. “What’s going on with you? Did you consume some strength pills? How did you suddenly become invincible?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2622
“I don’t know either!”
“These few here are probably fakes!”
Alex merely shrugged, looking innocent. He really did not know the reason either. He initially thought that he would have a fierce battle and even had a plan in mind. He wanted to borrow Medusa’s Aegis Shield to trick Freeborn so that he would be petrified. He would then decapitate him.
Unexpectedly, Alex defeated him soundly with a punch in the end.
“Carefree Immortal King?”
“He didn’t live up to his title!”
He eventually shook his head, and the crowd of onlookers backed off one after another.
Everyone shouted ‘crap’ in their hearts. They still wanted to trample Alex under their feet and take away the storage ring from his corpse… When Freeborn told about Alex walking, the path of ancient Buddhism, they even changed their minds and wanted to confine him as their slaves to serve them.
And now…
“D*mn. He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!”
“How wicked! He possessed such strength, but he pretended he was powerless. The most shameless thing is that he doesn’t even wear clothes and deliberately displays himself to make us think that he’s a weakling.”
“I hate tricksters the most!”
The trialists were devastated.
Fortunately, the people of Silent Hill had come to bear the brunt. Otherwise, they would have met their demise by now.
“Go, go, go!”
“It’s too perilous!”
“How did it end up like this?”
At this moment, Xerxes said, “Alex, quickly carry the bodhisattva statue away and leave. We’ve blown up the Corpse Princess’ imperial palace, but this ugly monster is immortal. Since she doesn’t show up now, she must be plotting an ultimate move. We might be in danger if we still don’t leave.”
When the few retreating trialists heard that, they all wailed silently.
It turned out that those two had destroyed the Corpse Princess’ imperial palace, but there were thousands of corpse soldiers inside. Thus, the ones who would commit such a deed were definitely atrocious. They could not afford to offend those two people.
The crowd retreated. Each of them ran faster than the other. However, they soon fell back again.
All of them looked panicked, their soul power unstable.
“What’s going on?
“You bunch of idiots, didn’t you see what happened to the Carefree Immortal King? Do you want to be killed by a punch too?” Pigsy yelled assertively.
When it saw Alex kill his enemies so effortlessly like a deity descending into the mortal realm, it toughened up, and its voice became louder.
“Corpse soldiers! There are so many corpse soldiers!”
“A-and… There is a mountain.”
The people who came back shouted in panic and pointed to the sky at the back. All the trialists looked anxious as they looked in the direction of their fingers. As expected, they saw a shocking scene.
“D*mn. There’s really a mountain?” Pigsy stared blankly at the sky with its mouth agape. That was a huge mountain floating in the sky, completely defying gravity.
It was towering and enormous. It even sent chills down one’s spine.
Although it did not move fast, it was getting closer.
In addition, countless corpse soldiers came from all directions like a tidal wave. They were so densely packed that their heads could not be seen at all.
Xerxes was nervous as well.
“Alex, can you defeat them?”
Alex was helpless. “Do you think I’m some Heavenly Emperor?”
He took a glance without thinking about anything else. He focused on attacking that bodhisattva statue, trying to take it down before the corpse soldiers arrived at the scene. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. No matter how hard he had tried or how many methods he had used, they were all in vain.
‘That force field of holy light emanated by the statue is too difficult to deal with.’
‘D*mn. I have no luck with this bodhisattva. Whoever is fated with it should take it away.’
Alex decided to give up as this was truly beyond his capability.
“Let’s go!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2623
He quickly picked up Freeborn and Fairy Fay’s bones on the ground. Felicity, the survivor, still remained. Yet he couldn’t kill her because he still had to ask her where Daya and the others were.
Alex, Xerxes, and the others had identified a direction to break through the encirclement. In fact, the rest of the trialists followed, as Alex’s strength had earned their recognition. At this moment, the enemies stood before them at this moment, so they naturally had to act together to have a slightly higher chance of survival.
When Alex turned around, he saw a total of one hundred trialists following him. He and Xerxes looked at each other, but they did not drive them away.
Breaking through the encirclement would do them no harm.
Just then, someone shouted, “Look, quickly! That bodhisattva statue is following us?! D*mn! What the hell?!”
“What?!” Alex was startled.
To his surprise, he really saw the bodhisattva statue, which was carved out of the Bodhi tree and unfazed no matter how hard he tried, covered in golden light. It was following his team closely from behind. It had run out of the imperial palace.
Upon encountering such a situation, Alex felt a little distressed.
This bodhisattva was ominous!
Pigsy cried, “This bodhisattva must have manifested itself, right?”
Xerxes Lawlor looked at Alex. “Alex, did it come over to follow you?”
Alex was uncertain, so he hurriedly teleported and headed in another direction. However, he found that the statue had turned into a ray of golden light and moved from its original spot to another direction for three miles, keeping about one hundred meters away from Alex all the time.
He teleported thrice in a row but ended up with the same results. Alex was certain that this bodhisattva was really following him. However, he still had no way to break past its force field of golden light and couldn’t reach in to draw out the holy energy.
‘Forget it! I’ll just think of it as a shadow!’ Alex thought about it and got back on track to rendezvous with Xerxes.
Half a minute later, all the trialists were in close combat with the corpse soldiers as their encirclement shrank
“Kill…”
“Fight our way out! Fight for the future!”
The corpse soldiers were massive, their numbers far exceeding their expectations.
Alex did not hold back, holding the Xavion Sword in one hand and the Golden Spear in the other. He also took out the Requiem Clock to ring it from time to time, wiping out the corpse soldiers rapidly like a knife through butter. The other trialists also launched all kinds of attacks. A light-attributed trialist even chanted incantations to bless everyone, increasing both their strength and speed, and cast light-attributed soul shields, becoming the most astounding supporter.
Xerxes specifically beckoned to that man.
The light-attributed trialist was instantly elated. He claimed to be Parker Langston, a member of the Holy Light Church, once a branch organization under the Stoermer Sect.
Xerxes said he had never heard of the Stoermer Sect, but Alex apparently had.
“Was it the Stoermer Sect ruled by Heavenly Emperor Rowan?”
Parker nodded. “Yes. Yes. Bro, I didn’t expect that you would still remember this name.”
“Many in the universe know about the Stoermer Sect, but this is their first time hearing of the Holy Light Church. I’ve never seen anyone cultivating light element before.”
Parker nodded. “Indeed, there aren’t many in our lineage. The founder of our Holy Light Church is Heavenly Emperor Rowan’s sister.”
They chattered while breaking through the encirclement. Behind them, corpses were already scattered all over the place. Half of those corpse soldiers had died at the hands of Alex.
This was truly a shocking result. Not only were Parker and other trialists dumbfounded, but Xerxes was even secretly dumbstruck. What sort of monster had Jade accepted?
‘Isn’t he too overpowered with those cheats?’
“Kill!”
Three minutes later, the towering mountain floating in the sky finally landed with a boom, shaking the entire land with peerless, overwhelming force that swept all over the land.
“Hurry up! Come out!”
“There are dreadful devils in the mountain!”
The crowd shouted and madly killed the corpse soldiers to break through the encirclement. It was then that a large red palanquin suddenly appeared ahead. A row of bone demons with dark golden bone patterns even squatted on each side of the palanquin. Over a hundred of them, each stared at the trialists with a manic aura.
Alex’s heart sank “Principal Lawlor, I’m afraid we have to depend on your honey trap.”
Needless to say, the Corpse Princess was definitely inside the large red palanquin.
However, Alex was instantly dumbfounded upon looking at the scene inside after the curtain of the palanquin was lifted.
It turned out to be… Dorothy Assex!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2624
When Alex took a good look and saw that the person sitting inside the large red palanquin was Dorothy, his mind was blown.
He never dreamed of it. Not only that, Dorothy Assex did not have the appearance of a skeleton, but she was a complete human being in flesh and blood.
Dorothy also wore a festive outfit and looked over with her beautiful eyes, revealing an enchanting smile. Her red lips parted as she said, “Hubby, you’re so cruel. Do you really want to leave me?”
Many trialists were stunned.
“Who… is she?”
“She’s so pretty!”
“She’s three times prettier than our goddess over there.”
“I want to hold her and kiss her long legs so badly…”
Alex was helpless and felt uncomfortable. He stared intently at Dorothy. “W-why are you here? Are you here specifically for me?”
Unexpectedly, Dorothy glared at him. “Who are you? I’m talking to my husband. Why do you interrupt us? Get lost!”
“Uh…?”
In a daze, Alex’s mind trembled. Since he felt that he had been cuckolded, he stammered as he asked, “Who… Who is your husband?”
Dorothy pointed at Xerxes with her slender finger. “Him!”
Alex looked at Xerxes in disbelief.
However, he soon came to his senses. “Who are you?”
This could not possibly be Dorothy Assex.
Dorothy ignored him and gently waved her hand. All the ferocious corpse soldiers earlier instantly stopped moving before putting away their weapons and stepping aside. In that way, the trialists were somewhat mentally relieved and had the chance to catch their breath.
After all, even if Alex and Xerxes had blazed the trail all the way and bore the brunt of tearing apart the corpse army’s encirclement for the team, many unlucky trialists were still killed by the corpse soldiers. There were one hundred or so people in the entire team at first, but now, at least a third had died along the way.
Dorothy walked down the large red palanquin. She was unusually enchanting regardless of her movement and posture.
The men even gulped at her voluptuous figure.
She took two light steps forward and said, “Hubby, do you think l look pretty? Do you like me? If you do, come and play with me!”
“Ugh!!!” Alex wanted to spit blood. He felt that if he truly spat blood, it was definitely because he’d been cuckolded.
Xerxes did not answer him, so she continued, “Hubby, if you follow me to the palanquin to complete the wedding and consummate our marriage tonight, I won’t bother about your destroying of my imperial palace. Moreover, I’ll let all of you leave.”
“Otherwise…”
“Look at these little guys around me. They are all drooling and have been starved for a few days. You guys aren’t even enough to fill their stomachs.”
Right after she said those words, those one hundred or so bone demons with dark golden bone patterns let out earth- shattering roars together, as if they had acquired her consent. Even the corpse soldiers retreated simultaneously in the face of their momentum.
Many trialists instantly collapsed to the ground. They were simply too terrifying.
Someone immediately said to Xerxes, “Bro, I think this beauty is madly in love with you, that till death do you part kind. This kind of love deserves respect. Since she said so, you should just agree to it!”
“Yes. Yes. As the saying goes, life is dear, but love is far more precious. Since such sincere love is right in front of you, you have to cherish it! It will be too late to regret once you miss it.”
“I’m so moved by the fact that such a pretty lady would go to such extent for her lover. If there is a girl who’d pursue me like this, I’ll surely love her for eternity.”
“Sob. It’s so beautiful. I have faith in love again…”
A group of trialists expressed their opinions one after another with sincere words and blessings.
They embellished Dorothy… No, the Corpse Princess, as she continuously glanced at Xerxes.
Alex was dejected. His wife had never winked so flirtatiously at him, yet she was doing that to Xerxes. Even if she was a fake, she should not do that.
‘Uh, it is not right!’
Was she a fake?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2625
He immediately activated his divine eyes to check her condition, and as a result, was on the verge of collapsing. No matter how he looked at her, she truly looked like Dorothy.
She was Dorothy whose soul had possessed.
Where was Xienna?
What the hell was this wicked woman doing?
As soon as he thought that Xienna abandoned his wife and let her suffer at this place, he wanted to kill her.
At this moment, Xerxes sighed and said, “Since you’re so deeply in love with me, fine. I promise you that I’ll complete the wedding with you, but I hope you’ll let these people go right now.”
The delighted Corpse Princess giggled as she said, “Of course. It’s no problem.”
Just then, Alex suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”
The Corpse Princess glared at him. “What do you want to say? Hurry up and spill the beans.”
Alex was heartbroken as he saw his wife blow her fuse, so he pointed at Xerxes and said, “This unfaithful, lecherous man has a wife and a mistress. He’s unsuitable for you, so I wish to recommend myself. Let me complete the wedding with you. I think I’m more suitable for you.”
Xerxes was speechless. Everyone’s expressions turned weird.
The Corpse Princess replied, “You? “What qualification do you have?”
Alex instantly said, “Quite a few. I’m more handsome, younger, wealthier than him. Moreover, I’m more vigorous and can make you more comfortable. How about that? Am I more to your liking?”
The Corpse Princess furiously said, “Pooh! Who do you think I am? Some cheap b*tch?”
Alex thought, ‘That’s right. Haven’t you noticed it yourself?’
Xerxes patted Alex on the shoulder. “Alex, I know you did it for my own good. But, don’t you worry. Now that she has changed her image, I can barely… accept her. I won’t feel that bad. It’s fine. This is probably my tribulation, so just let me go! Guys, hurry up and leave!”
Alex thought, ‘You don’t feel bad, but I do!’
“No, I object,” Alex said.
Xerxes replied, “Alex, don’t feel sorry for me. Perhaps, I’ll be free after the consummation of marriage! In fact, look at her now. She has fair skin, a pretty face, and a voluptuous body! She’s busty with junk in the trunk! And these long legs are stunningly sexy! Not bad. Not bad. She’s exactly my type. I want to have a good time with her later at night. So, Alex, don’t be like this and just bless me! Hurry up and go! I still have to thank you!”
‘D*mn it!’
Alex really could not stand him anymore.
Smack!
He slapped Xerxes across the face.
Xerxes was stunned. “Why did you hit me?!”
He pointed at the Corpse Princess and roared, “Because she is my wife!”
Of course, he meant that Dorothy was his wife. However, Xerxes misunderstood him again. Furthermore, he was still very moved. He thought, ‘This apprentice of Jade is truly loyal and is a good, young man. He actually wants to replace me for my sake! I mustn’t let him be taken away by the Corpse Princess. If I don’t sacrifice myself to save him, who will?’
He made up his mind.
He walked directly toward the Corpse Princess’ large red palanquin.
“F*cking b*stard!”
Alex could not let Xerxes Lawlor enter the palanquin, so he immediately cursed and rushed over, trying to kidnap the Corpse Princess directly.
However, over a hundred bone demons with dark golden bone patterns roared simultaneously and blocked Alex
The Corpse Princess even scowled fiercely at him. “If you make trouble again, I shall kill you!”
The infuriated Alex said to Xerxes, “She is really my wife! She is my wife!”
Xerxes Lawlor telepathized with him. “Just run. Stop dawdling.”
“…”
Alex was surrounded by an expanse of bone demons. Later, he was even forcibly pressed on the ground, powerless and extremely aggrieved.
It was then that a voice rang. “Amitabha. I’m here to lend you a hand.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2626
“What?”
“What’s that voice? Who’s talking?”
In more few moments, Alex realized that the Bodhi statue was speaking to him. This whole while, the statue seemed to be following him from a hundred metres away.
“I am… The Palatial!”
“Huh..?”
Alex was stunned again. He’d inherited Ksitigarbha’s teachings and had basic knowledge of Buddhism, but he’d never heard of the Palatial Bodhi. However, he was now surrounded by dozens of dark golden bone demons and being attacked on the ground. It was difficult for him to escape. As for that idiot Xerxes, he was about to get onto the sedan chair.
He wasn’t ready for Xerxes and his wife to make out. If this were to happen, nothing could save the situation, not even if he slept with Jade.
So, he didn’t care what sort of god he became, as long as it helped.
In the next moment, the Bodhi statue lit up even brighter, the light condensed into a strong stream and shone towards Alex.
Shiiing!
The golden light entered Alex’s body and a strong stream of energy roamed his veins.
“Namo namo, mali mali, boom!” With a shout, golden light emerged from Alex’s body as if the Bodhi statue had set an armor around him.
One second later, it was as if a tonne of bombs had been ignited, there was a loud explosion and the bone demons that suppressed Alex were all blown away. The few in front were blasted into pieces.
“The shine of Buddha’s halo!” Alex couldn’t help shouting.
He stood up, his body wrapped with a layer of illuminating light. Behind him, a phantasm appeared. There were golden silhouettes and mysterious symbols circulating around. A large ancient golden roulette lit up the heavens and earth.
It was a move from the Bodhi statue.
Alex was immensely shocked. The strength of the Bodhi statue far exceeded his expectations.
The light of the mysterious roulette shone on the bone demons. They all screamed in pain as they clutched onto their heads. The dark golden bone patterns on their bodies were attracted by some mysterious force and flowed out towards the golden roulette.
“Ahhh!”
“Help, save me!”
As the bone demons had become spiritual some time ago, they could speak the human tongue. They shivered and shouted to the Corpse Princess for help.
However, the roulette spun on, and its attracting force was unstoppable. The bone patterns continued to leave the demons’ bodies and enter the roulette. The process was all too agonizing.
According to the laws of the Underworld, consumption of bone patterns was to be performed only on the dead. Yet, everything that happened at the time disregarded the laws.
The demons weren’t dead, but their patterns were being taken away. Everyone was stunned by the situation, even scaring them.
Xerxes, seeing Alex’s sudden actions, realized that he might still be saved. He quickly jumped away from the princess and joined in the fight against the demons.
The Corpse Princess extended her hand to grab Xerxes, but she somehow missed.
She instantly flew into a rage as her dignity was violated. ‘I, the princess, had been fooled?’
“Kill!”
“Kill him!”
Kill them all!”
Enraged, the Corpse Princess ordered the remaining demons and soldiers. The first person she wanted to kill was Alex, then the other trialists.
On the other hand, it was as if she’d really fallen in love with the man. Thus, Xerxes was not included on her list.
The battle started once more.
The trialists had no choice but to fight. Now, everyone hated Alex for being nosy. If Xerxes had gone on the chair, the Corpse Princess would’ve let them go.
Knowing this, Alex still tried to save Xerxes, infuriating the Corpse Princess in the process.
‘Ugh, what luck!’
Alex was currently slaughtering every single enemy in sight.
The mysterious roulette spun above his head, and Buddha’s halo shone. The demons and soldiers who entered the range of the light were severely affected, their bone patterns taken away and swallowed by the roulette. It profoundly damaged their battling abilities and movements.
“All Bodhis, rise!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2627
“I summon the power of the Buddha!”
“Kill!”
Right now, Alex was like a god of death. Wherever he went, people dropped dead.
Even Pigsy was afraid and kept a reasonable distance from him.
The Corpse Princess saw her subordinates wither one by one like frail crops. She looked towards Alex, her expression as fierce as a demon from hell. Then, she screamed out a command in the direction of the oncoming majestic mountain.
Rumble…
The mountain vibrated as a sea of black shadows rushed out like a million arrows.
However, if one took a good look, one would realize that they were tombstones. Each tombstone was as dark as ink. However, in the middle were ancient white writings. Those were inscriptions and names, each different as if they were real tombstones.
“The tomb of the Heavenly Lord of Nine Guards!”
“The tomb of the God of War!”
”The tomb of Maitreya of the West!”
“The empress of the sea of sand…”
There were many others as well. Each tombstone represented a dead hero. Some of the heroes’ Chi remained on their tombstones, appearing in millions.
They flew above Alex and came together to create some sort of weird formation. They covered the skies and formed a large screen that covered the earth along with everyone, suppressing Buddha’s halo on Alex’s head.
“Shelly! Shelly!” Alex called out.
He had a secret weapon, Persephone’ s Folly Bridge was also a Buddhist holy artifact stronger than the Requiem Clock. He had recently prepared mo re woks and drank a lot of Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness, thus his powers should’ve significantly increased. He couldn’t be any weaker than the Bodhi statue using this.
However, Shelly still didn’t appear even though he called her several times.
“That kid, has she gone into retreat again?”
Just then, the will of the Bodhi statue spoke again, asking Alex to cooperate. He was about to launch an attack that would blast away the large screen of tombstones.
Three seconds later, the golden roulette spun and let out a screech. Numerous symbols lit up brightly, seemingly resonating with the energies of the heavens and earth.
It then hit the enormous screen violently.
Boom!
The skies darkened, and the earth and mountains quivered. The screen was blasted apart; countless tombstones shivered as if they were to fall any moment. With this, they flew back to the mountain.
Alex rushed forward and grasped the princess with his lit-up hand while the other carried Felicity as he went on his way.
Pigsy and Xerxes followed suit and quickly stopped battling to leave the place.
***
The waves crashed up and down. A large boat in the sea went with the flow. At this point, Alex and the others were on that large boat
Left by the shore, the owner of the boat was unknown. After that, Alex moved it here with his powers. He set up a barrier, hoping to deal with some issues here.
“You say that she’s your wife, Dorothy Assex?”
Xerxes couldn’t understand what Alex was saying at all. He’d heard of Dorothy’s name back when they were still in America, and he knew that she was Alex’s legal wife, but he’d never met her. He would’ve never thought that she’d be the Corpse Princess.
“So, your wife is the Corpse Princess?”
“You even had four kids with her?”
Alex rolled his eyes. “Don’t misunderstand. My wife is Dorothy. The Corpse Princess is yours. So if I’m seeing this correctly, the princess stole my wife’s body, right?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2628
The princess sat on the boat deck, unafraid.
She looked at Alex and said, “So what if I did? I can tell you the truth, I’ve completely taken over this woman and destroyed her original soul. She’ll never ever be your wife again!”
“If you kill me, you’ll be killing your wife.”
“What’s your decision? How about you just think of me as your wife? The princess doesn’t have limits to her number of partners, so I don’t mind taking you as another concubine.”
Alex’s face darkened, his eyes almost sparking lightning.
Pigsy said, “Alex, this woman has changed completely. Since she’s not your wife, just kill her now. It’ll save you the trouble.”
Xerxes nodded in agreement. “The Corpse King’s daughter was originally immortal, and was able to live with the powers of this place. But now that she’s taken over someone, it’ll become a restriction for her instead. If you try now, you’d have a high chance of killing her.”
Despite this, Alex was unwilling to do so.
“I have to see for myself!”
Alex separated his soul from his body and went into Dorothy’s consciousness. He wanted to make sure for himself that her original soul was actually gone.
The process was risky and difficult, but his abilities had improved a lot. The three thousand golden cores were fulfilled, and his acupoints were all opened.
Besides being strengthened by Ymir‘s Divine Bone, his body and soul had now been cleansed by Yin-Yang Chi and Yellow Obsidian Chi, making his soul far stronger than everyone.
“Arghh!” The Corpse Princess shouted out in pain. Back when he was possessed by the Bodhi statue, Alex took the chance to seal her powers. She was now a helpless weakling. It was easy for Alex to control her now.
A forced entry into someone’s consciousness felt far worse than being raped.
Naturally, Corpse Princess fought back. Unfortunately, her attempts were futile before Alex’s current soul power. There was something Alex himself couldn’t understand even now.
The Carefree Immortal King, Fairy Fay, and Felicity were all outstanding trialists that conquered their own places, yet they were still easily killed by him. His powers were definitely nothing compared to an Immortal Emperor.
The reason why he could defeat an Immortal Emperor with a mere punch was all thanks to this special world, the Underworld. The flesh of all trialists was taken away upon entry. They were only left with their skeletons and souls. The soul became the sole focus, so any powers built upon the flesh would be weakened.
Even if an Immortal Emperor possessed a seven-layered Immortal Wheel of Life, it would still differ from the original as its powers were greatly lessened. So, Alex’s golden cores allowed him to be undefeatable, as all three thousand of them brought him great soul power.
“Hmm?”
“There’s still some mental imprint!”
Soon, Alex found some remaining mental energy in the consciousness. It was familiar to him, but it also made him hopeless. It was really left by Dorothy or Xienna.
However, it had been destroyed and forcefully devoured by the princess. What was left were only some imprints of the past.
“No!” Alex screamed. This wasn’t the ending he wanted.
He had tried to help Dorothy recover and escape Xienna’s control. He wanted her to be the original Dorothy, but now that her soul was completely destroyed, he didn’t know what to do.
Alex screamed and yelled in frustration. After a while, he calmed himself and remembered that there was a spell in the Ultimate Book of Medicine that could recover a broken soul. He wanted to give it a try and see if he could bring her soul back together.
Right then, the princess who was forced to stay in a corner looked at him and smiled coldly.
“It’s no use. I’ve already eaten her soul, so how can you save it?”
“Say, you’re pretty strong. You even practice ancient Buddhism. Why don’t we make a deal? You let me go, and I’ll help you search for the Pool of Afterlife.”
Alex didn’t speak. He just summoned Zharvakko’s formation from the Ultimate Book of Medicine. He then accumulated the remaining floating soul chunks in the consciousness with strong holy powers and talismans.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2629
There was a burst of light, like a rainbow. The princess was shocked. She had never expected Alex to really carve out a part of the original owner’s soul.
With these parts, he could read a part of the imprints on the soul. However, with so little, it would be impossible to even try restoring the soul.
“This is the Underworld, their god’s territory.”
“You outsiders will never know this world’s deepest secrets. If you don’t release me, the god of the Underworld will be here soon. You won’t be able to escape.”
Seeing Alex’s silence, the princess continued persuading him to release her.
On the other hand, Alex remained quiet. He’d touched the soul pieces and found a tiny bit of Xienna’s memories. Reincarnation and the search for Dorothy… That seemed to be the theme of the memories.
The pieces were too shattered, and most were completely destroyed. He couldn’t retrieve any memories from those pieces.
However, at last, he finally found some useful information.
Xienna thought that Dorothy’s body and base weren’t strong enough, especially that she had quadruplets, which had damaged her foundation…
Alex was furious. ‘That b*tch Xienna actually assumed that her body and life were tainted, just because she had had children and wasn’t a virgin. She wanted to get rid of such a stain.’
She then went to find her lover from her past life. It meant that she wanted to cleanse her body, to make it perfect. She went as far as to spray perfume on herself just to meet her beloved.
‘That b*tch!’
‘What a sl*t! Stoermer, you were nowhere near good. You deserved to be swallowed.’
Alex was furious but happy with Xienna’s end. However, not all of Xienna’s main soul was here, only a part had come to search for the grand opportunity.
‘How sly of her!’
With a turn of thought, that meant Dorothy’s soul was also…
‘No, that’s not right!’
‘Xienna had sealed Dorothy’s soul up before… So it must still be sealed in her consciousness! She wouldn’t possibly take care of Dorothy, not when she had a part of her soul separated.’
‘So when the corpse princess swallowed a part of Xienna’s soul, perhaps she never knew another soul had been sealed here.’
‘So, it’s very likely that Dorothy’s soul is still here!’
With such an idea, Alex couldn’t help feeling excited. He quickly started searching in the vast consciousness. His hard work didn’t go to waste, and he really found it. In the deepest, innermost end, he found a sealed space.
A soul was in a deep sleep. She laid silently there, unmoving.
“Darling!”
“Dorothy!”
He had finally found her, finally able to see her. Almost in tears, Alex couldn’t help feeling moved.
The corpse princess had seen the whole situation too because this was technically her consciousness now. When she saw the unconscious soul, she was stunned. “Why… Is there another soul?”
Alex laughed. “Princess, I have to thank you for this time!”
The princess frowned. “Thank me for what?”
“Thank you for helping me swallow a part of a douchebag’s soul.”
“As a token of gratitude, I’ll pray for your salvation.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2630
“Pray for… My salvation?”
The princess’ soul was taken aback. Even though she knew he’d do so, when she truly had to face death, it still felt like a dream. She was the Corpse King’s daughter, the one and only corpse princess! As a royal, she was one of the tops in her world.
Before this, she stood at the peak of social status and looked down on the other trialists as if they were a group of clowns. She would sometimes appear just for the sake of teasing them.
This was just how high and mighty she acted here. The trialists were just her toys in the Underworld.
They were moths used as sacrifices. However, the trialists didn’t know about this.
Despite this, she’d have never thought that Xerxes would be part of the trialists. That bastard had such luck finding her real body, dug her hibernating body out from the coffin, and even are her Spiritual Corpse Core…
She could swear that Xerxes didn’t know how important the core was to her, let alone its functions. She knew that she had to take it back. It was simply that the method was a little odd…
Initially, she had total confidence and thought that it was going to be easy. Trialists were mere ants to her, so she had nothing to be afraid of. She just didn’t expect Alex to appear suddenly out of nowhere. I’m and that he practiced ancient Buddhism, a natural nemesis of the Underworld Tomb.
Now, she faced death.
“Rest in peace!” Alex roared coldly. He raised his palm out towards the princess’ soul.
“Great Mighty Divine Palm!”
“Ah!”
“Wait, hold on!”
The princess screamed, obviously in great pain. She didn’t want to die.
Naturally, Alex ignored her. Now that he’d found Dorothy’s sealed soul, and with part of Xienna’s soul destroyed, he knew it was a rare chance for him to recover Dorothy’s consciousness and bring back his wife.
“Stop fighting!”
“The sooner it ends, the sooner the pain stops. That’ll be better for you! ” Alex persuaded.
The princess screamed. “I know the greatest secret of this place! If you stop, I’ll tell you.”
Alex asked, “What secret?”
The princess growled, “The secret of the god of the Underworld, and it’s related to you weak trialists. If you had such a secret, you would be free to roam the whole Underworld.”
“What about it? Don’t spare me this great secret. Is this not a good deal?”
After hearing this, Alex was indeed interested. No trialist would ignore such a secret. He stopped. “Continue, I’m listening.”
The princess wasn’t dumb. “You’re insincere. Once I’ve told you, you’ll kill me. Who would I find to claim my justice then?”
Alex thought about it and nodded. “That’s true, then what you’re suggesting is…”
“You have to swear by a spiritual blood oath. Then I’ll tell you everything truthfully.”
Alex frowned. He didn’t like the suggestion. Finally, he took a few more glances at her and nodded. Suddenly, a ray of golden light suddenly shot out from the princess’ soul. The ball of golden fire abruptly lit up on its own.
The flame had appeared promptly without warning. It looked super eerie, with golden patterns appearing now and then.
“Ah!”
“It hurts! It’s so painful!”
“Save me! Save me…”
The princess’ soul was burned. She cried out loud for help, her face full of despair and pain.
The sudden change came too swiftly and abruptly. Alex hadn’t expected it. He reached out to save her, using the Great Icebound Spell of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spells to try and extinguish that eerie ball of fire.
Sadly, he was too late. The eerie flame burned too quickly.
He could only hear the princess shout her last few words, “It’s… The Emperor…”
She seemed to have spoken something else, but unfortunately, her voice grew too soft. Alex couldn’t hear her well as her soul perished.
