Ch. 2641..2650
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2641
They were stealthy, so he did not know when they appeared.
Some eyes were as large as teacups, whereas some were as large as basketballs. Surprisingly, there was a pair of eyes as big as a house.
‘What on earth are those?’
Alex’s heart skipped a beat. The next second, he hurriedly used his sword to cut open the shell wrapping Dorothy. The areas that the blade had passed through were slightly smooth.
However, the Xavion Sword was a peerless heavenly weapon as well. Although it was a little tricky, he still managed to cut through it in the end. Moreover, the moment he broke it, the runes on that pitch-black shell shattered and were destroyed before losing effectiveness.
Dorothy came out of it. Immediately afterward, they were stunned by over a hundred pairs of glowing green eyes.
“What… What are those?”
It rained buckets, and the water curtain turned into a veil that reduced vision.
Over a hundred pairs of glowing green eyes hid in the water curtain. Only their eyes could be seen, but not their bodies.
However, after Alex got Dorothy out of the shell, those unknown creatures were infuriated and abruptly hissed in unison.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Moreover, they were accompanied by puffs of a foul stench.
While Dorothy’s hair was standing on end, she clung to Alex and shouted, “Why… Why do these voices sound like snakes?”
As Alex’s blood froze, he looked ahead and said, “They don’t just sound like snakes. They are snakes.”
The vision of his divine eyes was slightly more powerful than Dorothy’s. He did not see clearly earlier, but now he could clearly see more than a hundred pairs of eyes approaching them.
Indeed, they were snakes!
There were more than a hundred snakes!
One serpent, whose extremely enormous body was abruptly straightened and ascended to more than 328 feet. Immediately afterward, it fiercely swooped down.
The snake’s huge head slammed hard into their ship.
Boom!
The ship was instantly torn apart. The people on the ship, including both Alex and Dorothy, were sent flying from the heavy shock.
Alex and Dorothy clasped their hands and desperately dodged them. During the period, they used their methods to drag the others over. However, more than a hundred small snakes also pounced on the people wrapped in the black shells at this time.
One had to say that they were puny in the face of that enormous snake. In fact, the smallest snake here was as thick as a bucket with a length of seventy or so feet.
The expanse of densely packed serpents tangled, overlapped, and rushed over. Dorothy was instantly devastated… Few women did not fear snakes. This was irrelevant to their cultivation bases and strength, and they panicked, and their legs gave out once they saw that long, soft, wriggling creature.
“Ah!” Dorothy retreated several feet as she screamed.
The black snake as giant as a truck snapped at someone in a bite.
Alex truly could tell that person’s identity because it was wrapped in the black shell without moving a muscle or making a sound. The quick-witted Alex rapidly rushed over and severed the snake head with his sword before he tore open that black shell with his sword.
He found out that Luneth was the one who came out. Luneth shivered with fear and thanked Alex repeatedly.
However, Alex’s actions had clearly angered the enormous snake. It hissed madly and stared intently at Alex with its eyes as big as houses. It then raised its neck and stuck out its tongue.
“Die!”
It spoke the human language!
Just then, the Grand Bodhisattva shattered the black shell by himself and jumped out with golden light emanating from his entire body before he slashed the black snake.
The great battle lasted for a full fifteen minutes.
That enormous snake escaped, leaving behind a pile of tiny snake corpses.
When the nest of snakes retreated, the storm suddenly stopped, and the sky became blue and cloudless once again.
Meanwhile, a magnificent immortal mountain appeared ahead and was erected silently on the sea surface. They had reached the Overseas Immortal Mountain!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2642
Whoosh!
The Grand Bodhisattva who ran out to hunt the enormous snake just now returned in a flash of golden light. He pulled a long face, maintaining his solemn expression earlier. Now, he was unable to contain his temper anymore and looked furious.
“Oh my, Little Bodhisattva. Are you injured?” Mystic Maiden was a little surprised as she looked at the Grand Bodhisattva.
Everyone had seen the battle just now.
It truly felt earth-shattering, as if the universe was about to collapse.
That enormous black snake with a length of more than 3280 feet was a behemoth that had stirred up the storm in the sea…
The rainstorm, lightning, and thunder that had just appeared on the sea were the doings of the snake. It could even fight the guardian of Dairaionji Temple for fifteen minutes, so one could tell that it had absolutely incredible strength.
The Grand Bodhisattva closed his eyes before opening them again.
The slightly sullen face that was filled with murderous intent immediately returned into a smiling look.
“Amitabha. I’m fine!
“It’s just that abomination has been causing troubles and harmng people all year round! It’s truly despicable!”
Alex was a little worried just now, but the worry became even more intense once he heard that.
Such a terrifying nest of snakes had set a trap to kill people here. If Daya and the others were to run into this place, the snakes would have devoured them without leaving any bones behind.
Xerxes asked, “Bodhisattva, isn’t that snake… Too powerful?”
He had been here for some time and heard a lot of information about the Underworld. He had even heard of those few people from Silent Hill and the Carefree Immortal King, but he had truly never heard of that powerful and bizarre snake demon.
Mandy cautiously asked, “Bodhisattva, I heard that the black snake scolding you just now. Were you guys enemies a long time ago?”
The Grand Bodhisattva angrily snorted. “That abomination is a lackey of that old devil, the god of the Underworld! Of course, it’s my enemy! Several millennia ago, it escaped after I severed its tall. I didn’t expect that it would escape to this place and ride roughshod over the people.”
After that, the group of people walked onto the land smoothly.
The Overseas Immortal Mountain was gigantic and stretched countless miles. It was at least a hundred times bigger than the island where the Corpse Princess’ imperial palace was. It was not too much to call it a continent.
The mountain was majestic with towering ancient trees, sounds, and scents of nature. Earth essence filled the mountain like clouds and fog.
The Grand Bodhisattva asked Alex, “Almsgiver, where are the people you want to find?”
Alex could not answer him at once. He simply had no way to find them.
The mountain was too huge. It was just like a range with tens of thousands of hills, so how was he supposed to find them?
“I have a way!” Xerxes said at this moment.
“You have a way? ” Alex was shocked. “You probably have never seen the few people I’m looking for.”
Xerxes smiled. “It’s fine. If you have body skin, hair, and the likes of your friends, I’ll be able to find them. Mandy nodded and chimed in, “That’s right. My husband knows divination and can tell fortunes. They are very accurate.”
“Divination and fortune-telling? Can you tell their location?”
“In fact, it isn’t divination. I can trace their scent This is a certain connection written in the stars. I can’t explain it for a moment,” Xerxes said.
Alex shook his head. “We became skeletons and lost all our flesh and blood when we came in, so where can I find their skin or hair? It’s simply impossible.”
Xerxes said, “That’s true, but undergarments that they’ve worn before would be fine too.”
After pondering for a while, Alex eventually took out a tattered leather underwear from the storage ring.
Luneth said, “This seems to be the underwear from a certain female trialist of the Galaxy Nova. When did you steal it?”
“…”
When Alex saw everyone looking at him, his face became a little flushed. “I snatched it from the Galaxy Nova. My friend wore it before.”
“Daya Stoermer?” Dorothy threw out a name.
Alex lightly nodded.
Daya did not wear it previously, but in fact, Shirley had.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2643
Back then, after they killed a female trialist of the Galaxy Nova, they stripped the clothes off her body.
Shirley was embarrassed when Alex said that she ran around in her birthday suit, so she wore the clothes on her. However, it was damaged during the Tribulation Crossing.
Alex thought that its material was decent and could be reused after it was stitched. So, he picked it up and put it into the storage ring at that time. Unlike now, he had killed dozens of Galaxy Nova trialists till he was fed up with picking them up and putting them into the storage ring.
Things were different now.
After taking the underwear, Xerxes took a look and said with a nod, “I’ll try if I can utilize it.”
He immediately took out a small flag, which should be a treasure, before he began working his magic.
“This seems to be the ultimate skill of the Maiko Sect!” Dorothy whispered as she looked at Xerxes’s movements.
‘The Maiko Sect?’
Alex had somewhat heard of it before. It was an extremely ancient and mysterious sect.
Indeed, it was based on divination and fortune-telling. They also cultivated relatively extraordinary things and had more dealings with spirits. According to the cultivation system, it was considered a heterodox sect, one that could be successful in the great world, especially the Maiko Sect that was more proficient in the art of talismans. Thus, one could also reach the pinnacle by studying that art.
Ten minutes or so passed.
In Xerxes’ hand, the small flag fluttered from the wind and suddenly soared into the air, flying in a certain direction.
“It worked!”
Xerxes grinned as he said, “I was able to complete the mission by sheer luck. Alex, those you’re looking for shouldn’t be too far from here. We’ll be able to find them if we follow the small flag. ”
The Grand Bodhisattva, who had not spoken before, looked at that small flag and said, “This is the Airborne Flame Flag. I didn’t expect that one of the renowned five direction flags back then would be in your hand, almsgiver. Amitabha, well done!”
That was an extremely rare sort of treasure.
Xerxes initially didn’t want to expose it, but now that the Grand Bodhisattva had revealed its identity, he could no longer deny it and could only nod lightly.
The Grand Bodhisattva smiled and did not talk about that matter again.
Only then did Xerxes heave a sigh of relief. Now that he was in such a situation, he could not do anything about it if the Grand Bodhisattva said he wanted to borrow the flag for his use and then forgot to return it to him. Xerxes felt that he had earned Alex’s friendship, which was not considered a loss despite the exposure.
“Go after it. Quickly!”
They raced and found the target in less than ten minutes.
Shirley Hancock.
However, Alex became infuriated as soon as he saw her condition.
Presently, she was hung under an ancient tree as a group of people surrounded her. She was at her last gasp as her bones were forcibly dismantled and her mental state was terrible to the point of hanging by a thread with a third of the bones in her body had been removed.
Crack!
A rib was forcibly severed again.
A male trialist in red spun the bone in his hand as he ferociously roared, “Are you still refusing to speak? Tell us quickly. Where are your two companions? Do you think you can beg for death to your heart’s content if you say nothing? Impossible. Later, I’ll get a few bones from the lowly bone demons and transplant them to you so that you’ll…”
Swoosh!
Before he could even finish, a sharp arrow suddenly broke through the air and directly hit the man’s head. It entered the temple on one side and exited on the other.
It was an arrow shot from Dorothy’s bow. When she was still ‘Aunt Rockefeller’, she was an excellent archer.
Shirley was also startled for a moment, but she soon noticed Alex rushing over and killing people effortlessly. He still had a few experts behind him for assistance, so all the kidnappers were annihilated in less than two minutes.
“Shirley, how are you? I’m Alex Rockefeller!”
Alex put Shirley down.
“Alex? You’re finally here. I was about, to be killed. Sob…”
Shirley directly hugged Alex and cried.
Dorothy’s eyes flickered as she was holding the Fiery Phoenix Bow. She even looked at the underwear in Xerxes’ hand that he had used as a guide before she looked at Shirley again and frowned. ‘It isn’t Daya’s?!’
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2644
The point was, Daya wasn’t here either!
Hence, the underwear that her husband had taken out should belong to Shirley. Then, the question arose. How did he possess such an item?
“Alex, I would have been dismantled into a pile of bones if you hadn’t come! It hurts badly!”
Shirley hugged Alex as she bawled. First, she was truly in pain. Secondly, she was afraid, but her mind was relieved as if she had encountered her loved one.
Mystic Maiden walked over and reached out to touch Shirley’s currently dismantled bones before she said, “Although the bone patterns on these bones have been devoured, they have just been dismantled. So, it’ll be much easier to reconnect them rather than regrowing them.”
“Mystic Maiden, I missed you so much!”
Shirley let go of Alex and pounced on Mystic Maiden.
Pigsy leaned closer. “And me! And me! I was on tenterhooks all day long because I was worried about you!”
Shirley directly kicked it. “You d*mn pig head. If you hadn’t yearned for someone else’s treasure and exposed our tracks, would we have been so miserable?”
“About that… I was trying to reap us some profits.”
Pigsy sounded a little awkward.
Alex finally understood that Pigsy, the pig, wasn’t really telling the truth. The people of Silent Hill did not want to catch it for no reason, but it yearned for the treasure in someone else’s territory and ran over, trying to keep it to itself first. However, the Carefree Immortal King and the others discovered it.
Pigsy called for reinforcement from Daya and the others. Both parties then engaged in a battle. As a result, they were soundly defeated.
Pigsy threw away its armor and directly fled, leaving the three women, Daya, Shirley, and Ynes, to struggle hard in the battle.
However, fortunately, it fled fast, and a treasure hunting pig lured the Carefree Immortal King away. Otherwise, the three women may not survive until now.
“Where’s Daya? Wasn’t she with you?” Alex asked.
“Daya and Ynes are injured, so I came out to collect herbs. I heard that there’s a strange flower called the Wraith Hibiscus, which will ripen soon. This strange flower can cure gravely injured souls. I wanted to come out and try my luck, but I didn’t expect that I would encounter those bast*rds from the Hawkgirl Galaxy and were almost dismantled into a pile of bones.”
Alex felt his heart wrench at Shirley’s words.
Her soul was undamaged but injured. It was perilous and troublesome.
Alex asked, “Are they in danger now?”
Then, Shirley told him that the two women were in a safe place. Although they had experienced many hardships for the past few years, they did not end up empty handed. Instead, they had barged into a secret location and acquired a grand opportunity because of a fateful encounter. So, everyone had significantly improved.
She also jokingly said, “Alex, my current cultivation level has reached the Earthly Immortal. If I manage to recover my body, you’ll be no match for me this time! Hmph!”
Alex was sour, yet he wanted to laugh.
At first, that woman was dragged in under his threat, but they built up the most intimate partnership over a long period instead. They were close to each other and had each other’s back through mutual cooperation to struggle and survive until now.
“Alright, you win!”
“Let me treat you by reconnecting the bones first. Please be merciful to me by then.”
Alex agilely reconnected Shirley’s bones with the Ultimate Book of Medicine and Zharvakko’s spell formation. After he placed her in the spell formation, the runes lit up, and laws flowed. Shirley’s dismantled bones were later reconnected one by one.
He even took out the bones of the dark golden bone demon, throwing them into the spell formation right away.
Shirley did not have to devour those bone patterns deliberately. Those bone patterns were directly drawn out and integrated into her bones.
Shirley was stunned. “You actually possess dark golden bone patterns?”
She then continued, “Enough. Enough. Leave some of them for Daya and Ynes.”
Since she could say such things, he could tell that the friendship among the three women was very deep.
Alex said with a smile, “I’ll give you a little more of them for what you’ve just said.”
Wham!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2645
He took another complete dark golden bone demon and threw it into the spell formation.
Shirley immediately opened her mouth wide and could not close it for a long time. “H-how… Did you get so many Dark Golden Tier bone demons?
“Did you dig up a mass grave?”
Alex smiled and said no thing. ‘I’m going to play dumb.’
Pigsy was still a blabbermouth. “Beauty Hancock, don’t save them for his sake. He previously killed dozens of dark golden bone demons, so you can have as many you want. What a pity. I’m an unlucky old pig that can’t utilize them, so I can only let others take advantage of all of them…”
Having said that, it suddenly came to its senses. “Oops. That’s not right. Why can you consume them, and I can’t?”
“Is that so? Why is that? These dark golden bone demons contain the Corpse Princess’ original power.”
Xerxes was astonished as well. He tried to upgrade Mandy’s bone patterns through his abilities, but that was extremely troublesome as he required multiple filtrations and had to advance step by step carefully. However, the others were completely unaffected.
Alex said, “I directly used the divine power to filter the Underworld’s Origin.”
As soon as Pigsy heard that, it squealed in excitement, immediately asking Alex to filter it
The Grand Bodhisattva aside looked at Alex while revealing a hint of bizarreness in his gleaming eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking, but soon he recovered his calmness and indifference.
Ten minutes or so later, Shirley had recovered from her injuries. Although she could not fight, she could already move around normally and freely.
Even Xerxes was amazed by Alex’s unbelievable medical skills. He, the principal of the Flying Eagles Academy, actually used to be a village doctor. However, he received the help of a benefactor and made a splash when he was a teenager. He was also a well-known miracle doctor back then. Still, he later wholeheartedly focused on the Flying Eagles Academy and went out of practice regarding medical arts after an unforeseen event…
Even so, what he researched the most was modern surgery and acupuncture, pioneering a new path with the combination of both arts. However, when he looked at Alex’s unbelievable medical skills, he could only say that both of them were not on the same level.
The Ultimate Book of Medicine could cure people, spirits, and deities. It was not a medical art of the mortal realm.
Afterward, Alex wanted Shirley to take him to meet Daya and Ynes. However, Shirley looked at the sky and shook her head. “There isn’t enough time. Let’s get the Wraith Hibiscus first. We have no reason to let the others take advantage of it with our combat power now, right? Daya and Ynes’ injuries still have to depend on that flower!”
Alex thought for a while, then said, “Fine. Lead the way.”
Shirley’s bones had just healed, and although she did not have a problem with walking, she could not hasten her pace.
“Old pig, come here and carry me!” Shirley shouted at Pigsy. “I’ll roast you If you make waves again next time. Even if I can’t have pork, I can chew on your bones.”
Pigsy complained, “Sis, I was trying to lure the formidable enemy away for you guys. You don’t know that I had lived miserable days with my life hanging by a thread all the time during that time. Moreover, if it weren’t for me, Alex wouldn’t have been able to summon this great bodhisattva, and he would’ve been killed by the Corpse Princess a long time ago.”
“Hmph. Anyway, you better stop causing any more trouble for me.”
“Yes. Yes. Yes. I definitely won’t do it again.”
Shirley silently sized up Dorothy as the females here were all skeletons. Only Dorothy was in flesh and blood, so she was naturally eye-catching.
She casually asked, “Alex, who is this? She’s so beautiful. Is she an alien you’ve hooked up somewhere?”
Dorothy stayed silent, so she thought she could not understand English. As a result, Dorothy said, “I’m not an alien.”
“Huh? You can speak English.”
“I’m his wife and mother of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.”
“Oh, gosh…”
Dorothy said, “Nice to meet you. Looks like you and my husband are in a great relationship.”
Shirley smiled. “Not bad! We’re comrades!”
Dorothy nodded before handing something over to her. “But, you’d better not throw away such things so easily.”
That was none other than that piece of underwear.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2646
“What the heck?”
“What… Is this thing?”
Shirley was instantly dumbfounded as she grabbed the underpants Dorothy had thrown over.
Was that hers?
That did not ring a bell at all!
“This isn’t mine.” Shirley threw it back to Dorothy.
Could she be joking about something like this? Even if it was truly hers, she could not admit it. In fact, she wouldn’t admit it no matter what.
“Sis, this is indeed yours. We managed to find you by your lingering scent on it,” Pigsy candidly explained. “Yeah. Alex held onto it previously. Did he take it in passing after you both were done with the intimate deed? Do you not remember?”
Pigsy deliberately created conflicts for Alex!
It tried to ask Alex to help it filter the Dark Golden Demon’s bone patterns, but Alex did not agree to it… Seeing such a love triangle before him, he truly felt apologetic if it did not cause a little trouble for him.
“Shut your trap!” Shirley exploded with rage. She had long forgotten the underpants since too much had passed.
She just wore it for a while back then, and it had been a few years now.
Alex stared at Pigsy coldly. “Old pig, if you cause about nothing, deliberately sow discord and cause a little trouble for me again, I don’t mind kicking you out of the team and leaving you here to fend for yourself. Do you believe me?”
Pigsy was instantly terrified.
“Oink, oink! Boss, I was just outspoken and made a wild guess. It was a joke, so don’t take it seriously, guys. Don’t take it seriously. Haha!”
Dorothy snorted and did not continue to dwell on that matter.
On the other hand, Mandy heard from Xerxes that Alex was apparently jade’s disciple, which was a little awkward.
***
Not long after that, Pigsy raised his nose. “Yeah, it smells so good. I think I’ve caught the scent of a treasure.”
The Immortal Bird also said, “Yes. I smell it as well. Could it be the Wraith Hibiscus we’ve been looking for?”
Shirley said, “It should be nearby.”
She, too, was uncertain about the exact location.
She overheard the news, but in fact, could not confirm if it was real. However, now that she had the help of Pigsy’s nose, it seemed that the news was probably real.
“Stop right there!”
In the middle of the search, a team suddenly rushed forward.
The leader was a skeletal person fully dressed in a black battle robe with a hood, revealing only the frontal skull. Beneath him was some kind of wolf-like bone demon with a vast body, thirty-two feet long and a height of six foot six.
Three battle flags were planted behind that person. Clearly, those were his weapons.
Other trialists followed behind that person within sixteen feet There were mounts, and some bone demons were used as mounts.
Clang!
The leader directly pulled out a battle flag from his back. It looked more like a long lance. He pointed at Alex and the others arrogantly and said coldly, “Who are you people? Where are you from? This place is a forbidden area! Leave now!”
Right after he finished saying those words, that person suddenly stared at Shirley sitting on Pigsy’s back and exclaimed in shock, “It’s you! Aren’t you dead yet?”
Surprisingly, he managed to recognize Shirley.
Shirley glanced at Alex. This time, amid the chaos, she was calm and was no longer afraid.
“Yeah. It’s me. We met again.”
While telepathizing with Alex, she told him that man was Jasper Goldman, who deceived them to the Overseas Immortal Mountain and was in the same group with those people earlier. The man before them had caused Daya’s injuries. His weapons were three battle flags, which were some sort of ancient treasure. They could harm one’s soul and pierce through their mind palace. So, she told Alex to be careful.
Jasper growled coldly, “You’re alive and still unscathed. Where’s my little brother then?”
“Are you talking about him?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2647
Shirley took out a corpse from the storage ring and threw it on the ground.
It was the trialist who had previously dismantled her bones and was shot to death by Dorothy in the end. Later, Shirley stored the corpse. At that time, Alex and the others were still puzzled, so it turned out that there was an enmity within it.
“Ahh!”
“Bro!”
“I’ll definitely avenge you by killing all of these people!”
Jasper let out a roar upon seeing the corpse on the ground. He took out another battle flag, then abruptly clasped his legs on the bone demon’s back and was about to rush for a massacre. It was then that Alex directly appeared behind him.
Instant Teleportation!
“Bodhi Dragon-Tusk Punch!”
Alex gave Jasper no chance to make a move and directly decapitated him. He blasted Jasper’s head with a punch and put the three battle flags into his storage ring.
The sudden change occurred in such quick succession that the remaining few Hawkgirl Galaxy trialists took to their heels. Moreover, someone successfully shot out an alarm artifact.
It soared high into the sky. It then exploded with a loud bang and was accompanied by bursting red dust in the air.
“It’s their flare!”
Xerxes rushed out and helped Alex kill the enemies.
The few Hawkgirl Galaxy trialists were totally no match for the dark golden bone demons and powerful corpse soldiers that the Corpse Princess had brought along. After witnessing how that group of people had treated Shirley, Alex and Xerxes unleashed fierce, deadly moves like a hot knife through butter, suppressing the battlefield within a few seconds.
“The treasure is just ahead! Rush over!” Alex said.
“Alright! The rest of you stay put and remain vigilant! Wait for our news!” As principal of the Flying Eagles Academy, Xerxes often took the academy students into the ancient force field for adventure and was also used to issuing that kind of order.
However, not many people at the scene were convinced. Dorothy and the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens followed Alex and rushed over right away.
The Grand Bodhisattva followed them closely, too, wanting to protect the destined one of Buddhism.
Pigsy was restless, so he carried Shirley and went over. Eventually, even Luneth and the Immortal Bird went over, leaving only Mandy, a frail woman…
She looked around and shuddered all over. She then followed them right away.
“Wait for me! Guys, wait for me! Jeez… Don’t abandon me here!”
Xerxes ran back in the end. He wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist and sighed. “Looks like my words don‘t work very well here.”
Mandy said, “Their team is powerful. You shouldn’t think that you‘re Principal Lawlor. Just be a henchman for now first. No one will make fun of you.”
Xerxes said, “Alright! I’ll listen to you! But this brat, Alex Rockefeller, has really surprised me… Later, I’ll ask him to help you filter the dark golden bone patterns.”
“I’m just afraid that he dislikes me.”
“I think this guy is okay after getting along with him. Moreover, he is my brother’s future son-in-law, so I’m considered his uncle anyhow.”
“Huh? Are you talking about Principal Henderson’s daughter? Which one is it? Luna Flores or Freya Mayer?”
“Looks like both of them are in ambiguous relationships with him.”
“No way, right? He already has a wife and children!”
“That’s why there will always be women competing for a high-quality man at any cost. Even Luna and Freya are no exception. I even heard Martiny encourage her daughter to fight for him. It doesn’t matter if she becomes a mistress. What is the reason for this? A unique lady, the likes of Freya, could be considered one in a million. Therefore, it’s enough to prove that Alex really has remarkable potential!”
Mandy snorted. “I think you’re talking about yourself!”
As the two chattered, they slowly approached the others.
Upon arriving, they saw a dozen corpses lying on the ground. The others seemed to have completed the task and acquired the treasure.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2648
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Shirley no longer knew what to say.
That group of people was the main force of the Hawkgirl Galaxy. Like Jasper, the trialist of the Hawkgirl Galaxy that had tricked them into coming to the overseas immortal mountain, and someone with such strength could only become a peripheral member. Judging by this point, the strength of the main force should not be underestimated.
One person among the pile of corpses, for instance, had dark golden bone patterns, while two people possessed golden bone patterns. Their cultivation levels were of high-ranking Immortals as well.
Alex, however, could kill someone with dark golden bone patterns with his bare hands, so what level had he reached?
Shirley even bragged shamelessly that she could easily defeat him after her recovery. The current situation was a slap in the face. However, no matter how hard she thought, she failed to understand it. How did Alex become so terrifying in the short span of several years? It was simply unreasonable!
“Let’s share the bone patterns of these corpses.” Alex said, “I’m pressed for time, so I don’t have the time to deal with these corpses of dark golden bone demons with the Underworld’s original attribute. when I find Daya and the others, l’ll handle and allocate them in one fell swoop.”
“Alright, boss. I’m fine with it.” Pigsy was the first to take a stand.
Alex gave him a glance and said nothing irritating.
The others naturally made no objections. However, when they were splitting the loot, everyone’s gaze was fixated on Dorothy because she was Alex’s wife. They both had four children as well, so she was his legitimate spouse. Thus, they naturally let her choose the loot first.
Alex said, “Dorothy, take one first. You’ve just awakened, so you should replenish your vanished and divided soul properly.”
Unexpectedly, Dorothy refused. She lightly shook her head as she already knew what kind of existence a bone pattern was. However… She indifferently said, “I don’t need them. These bone patterns are ineffective for me.”
Those few people froze.
‘The dark golden bone patterns are ineffective. Have yours surpassed the dark golden bone patterns then? Aren’t you bragging too much?’
Dorothy noticed the crowd’s gaze, yet she still shook her head and telepathized with Alex. “I’ve just fused the previous memories. Before the Corpse Princess destroyed my divided soul of the previous incarnation, I acquired the Grand Opportunity and devoured a Supreme Bone of the Underworld. This should be the most valuable treasure in this world. Now other bone patterns are useless to me, and devouring those bone patterns will result in adverse effects instead.”
‘The Supreme Bone of the Underworld?’ Alex froze for a moment as he had never heard of it before.
Dorothy continued, “This is a secret, so don’t tell anyone. Just consider that my body is special, and I can’t devour bone patterns.”
Alex asked, “Is this why you can still maintain your flesh now?”
Dorothy replied, “Yes… When Xienna sent me in here, she must have made thorough arrangements. However, man proposes, but God disposes. She was in a weakened state during the fusion because of the acquisition of this Supreme Bone of the Underworld. As a result, the Corpse Princess’ forces discovered her and captured her alive before destroying the divided soul forcibly.”
Dorothy Assex obtained that information after regaining control of her body.
Alex was speechless after hearing that.
Xienna made meticulous calculations, but she failed to take into account that accursed weakened phase… From the way it looked, it could only be regarded as an irony of fate. If Xienna’s divided soul had not experienced the weakened phase, the Corpse Princess would not have been able to do anything about Xienna. And, if Xienna’s divided soul had not died, Dorothy would have had almost zero chance of trying to regain control of her body.
This was… God’s will!
After learning Dorothy’s current condition, Alex naturally would not force her to devour the bone patterns.
Later, The crowd looked at Mystic Maiden. In their eyes, Mystic Maiden was Alex’s woman as well.
However, Mystic Maiden also politely declined him as she had just acquired the ninth Chaos Bead and was nourishing it in her body to form a new balance with the Chaos Bead. So, she did not need to devour new bone patterns either.
Eventually, Pigsy, Luneth, the Immortal Bird, and the others took advantage of them.
After allocating the Hawkgirl Galaxy trialists’ corpses, Alex immediately asked Shirley to lead the way and look for Daya.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2649
One hour later, Alex saw the injured Daya and Ynes in the depths of a huge anthill.
The spouses regretted not meeting each other earlier. Daya could only hug Alex and weep. Only God knew how much she missed him during that period of time. Even if she did not have a body of flesh and blood, she shed tears of joy after a long-lost reunion… Alex could tell that Daya and Ynes’ souls were really wounded, and their foundations suffered damage.
Alex immediately moved to treat them without any hesitation.
To his surprise, not only did the Ultimate Book of Medicine fail to cure them, but it even aggravated their injuries.
The two women shivered all over in pain, and their souls almost fell apart.
“No!”
“This isn’t a simple soul injury, but soul poison.”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat. That was a tough outcome to deal with.
If the soul poison were not removed, the toxin would consume the poisoned’s soul power each and every moment, let alone allow the soul injury to recover. When the soul power was weakened to a certain extent, it would harm the soul origin until the poisoned’s soul dissipated.
The Wraith Hibiscus would be completely useless in such a situation. Instead, it would stimulate the rapid spread of toxicity and accelerate death.
“What exactly is this poison?” Shirley anxiously asked.
However, Alex had no answer now either.
At this moment, Luneth said, “Could it be the Deadly Soul Disintegrator from the Witch Cult? I once heard my master mention that it is a poison that specifically targets souls. And, the Witch Cult is the greatest cult and state religion in the Hawkgirl Galaxy. It is the place of origin for all the Witch Cults in other worlds.”
“The Witch Cult?!”
Alex and Xerxes exclaimed at the same time, and extreme shock filled their voices.
Alex knew about the Witch Cult by chance. Later, he recalled more past events. The Mayers of the Exorcist Dragons even hated the Witch Cult to the core and wanted to kill every last one of them.
He looked at Xerxes. “Do you know about the Witch Cult as well?”
Xerxes’ expression was filled with inconsolable resentment as he said, “Jade Benmore, your master’s father died at the hands of the Witch Cult. Eleanor Curtis, the tactician, was once controlled by the Witch Cult members for over a hundred years. And I…”
He suddenly pulled down his clothes and exposed his shoulder. That area of illusory skin faded away, revealing the real bone.
The crowd saw a dark red mark on top of his shoulder. It looked like a skull entangled by a snake.
Hiss!
Alex’s eyes abruptly narrowed. He had seen the mark before. It was on his classmate, Hayley Hanson.
He had not been able to think of a way to dispel Hayley’s curse. Even if his cultivation level had skyrocketed, he was still powerless. However, the curse on Hayley was not a curse from the Witch Cult, but the Blood Curse from the Blood Cult…
Why did they look alike?
Was there some kind of connection between the two?
“What is this?” When Shirley saw the mark, she asked in surprise, “Could it be related to the Witch Cult as well?”
Xerxes replied, “This is the curse of the Witch Cult called the Witch Curse. In fact, Jade has it on her body. We have been suffering from this curse for over thirty years, but we still can’t find a way to dispel it. According to the information I recently acquired, such a curse is undispellable.”
At that moment, Luneth interjected.
“It can be dispelled,” she said.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2650
“The Witch Curse can be dispelled.”
Luneth’s words instantly hit Alex and Xerxes’ weak spots.
They both rushed to her front almost simultaneously, and each of them held her hand respectively. “Can you really dispel it? Do you know how to dispel the Witch Curse?”
Luneth shook her head. “I don’t know.”
As soon as Alex and Xerxes heard that, they felt as though cold water had been thrown on them.
However, Luneth immediately continued, “But my friend may know.”
Alex asked, “Which friend of yours?”
Luneth replied, “You’ve seen her before. Cecilia Peach.”
“Then, can she… Dispel the poison from the Deadly Soul Disintegrator?” Alex asked again. He could handle the affair with the Witch Curse slowly, but Daya and Ynes’ soul poisoning was more pressing.
Luneth answered, “She may know, but I’m not so sure! I’m saying this because the Peach family in the Great Northern is a famous family of pharmacists. The Peaches once had a serious conflict with the Witch Cult, so they studied it deeply and developed many strategic countermeasures against them. The poison of the Deadly Soul Disintegrator should be included in their research, but I can’t guarantee whether Cecilia can dispel it now.”
At this moment, the Grand Bodhisattva suddenly chanted Buddha’s name. “Amitabha!”
The Mystic Maiden asked, “Grand, do you have something to say?”
In fact, based on the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens’ identity, one could understand why she did not call him “bodhisattva” but directly called him “Grand”.
According to the legendary history, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens was the mentor of the Human Sovereign, the Yellow Emperor, and Gaea’s junior. If the information turned out to be true, her original identity would be supreme. The bodhisattva of Siddhartha realm would be on equal footing with her at most, so it was too much for her to call him by his monastic name.
The Grand Bodhisattva glanced at the Mystic Maiden and said, “Shoraionji Temple can dispel a poison like the Deadly Soul Disintegrator.”
Alex wanted to frown, but only then did he realize that his eyebrows did not exist So, he could only touch the brow ridge in passing. “Shoraionji Temple is sealed and hidden in the void. It would be very troublesome just to look for it. A slow remedy can’t solve the current emergency. It’s more reasonable for us to find Cecilia first.”
The Grand Bodhisattva said with a smile, “Have you forgotten who I am? I’m the guardian of Dairaionji Temple, so I can naturally activate Shoraionji Temple. No matter which void it is hidden in, I can directly summon a portal and make it manifest.”
Alex was overjoyed by the news. He hugged the Grand Bodhisattva and directly kissed him on the little bald head.
“That’s great!”
“I’ve made up my mind. For your statue, I’ll add another 133-ounces of gold to sculpt you a real golden body!”
Alex’s action made the Grand Bodhisattva extremely uncomfortable to the point he almost fell out. He then said, “Wasn’t the golden statue that you promised to make before made of gold?”
“It’s gold, but gold paint. It looks much better than pure gold.”
“…”
Afterward, Alex followed the Grand Bodhisattva’s advice and walked out of the ant nest.
He summoned Shoraionji Temple on top of the overseas immortal mountain right there and then.
“The god of the Underworld is so powerful to the point of terrifying. I consumed endless Chi and energy to suppress the god of the Underworld all these years, so I had to return to Shoraionji Temple once in a while to absorb energy and recover my strength. I wouldn’t be able to continue the suppression otherwise.”
“My consumption was too great this time, so I need to borrow your power in order to succeed in the summoning.”
The Grand Bodhisattva said so as he looked at Alex. His gaze was sincere without any falsehood.
Alex readily agreed to it.
Didn’t he just need to consume some divine power?
As long as he could save Daya and Ynes, he would spend as much divine power as possible since he could earn it again in the future.
Moreover, the Grand Bodhisattva could be regarded as Alex’s protector along the way. He had pulled Alex back from the brink of death many times under his protection all the way until now, so he absolutely trusted the bodhisattva. The others did not doubt him in the slightest either…
However…
It turned out to be a catastrophe.
“Get ready! Divine power, come forth!”
A hint of fluctuation appeared in the Grand Bodhisattva’s eyes.
There was exaltation, excitement, and even destructive intent hidden in the depth of his eyes.
