The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2911
“Looks like the relationship among the six sects is quite subtle,” Gilbert whispered. “There was a sense of mutual balance among the six ancient sects at first, but now that the Dao Field of Rakshasa Temple has been broken, the balance will be lost. Jeremy Trippier will take advantage of the situation and seize the resources at Terra Mountain, which will lead to an inevitable conflict in the end.”
Xerxes said, “I don’t care about that. I’m concerned that Jade has entered that portal, and I don’t know what’s inside. Will she be in danger?”
Looking at Xerxes, Gilbert patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. Since Alex has broken the spell formation, I’m sure he has some idea about it They both support and rely on each other inside, so there shouldn’tbe any big problems. Besides, I can tell that they are in tune with each other.”
When those words entered Xerxes’s ears, he felt upset.
***
Buzz!
After Alex and Jade jumped into the dark portal, they felt extremely uncomfortable, sensing a powerful tearing force that seemingly wanted to separate their souls from their physical bodies.
“Ah! Alex, what is this place? Ifeel so uncomfortable that my soul is going to leave my body! Where does this portal lead to?” Jade asked as she lifted the Martello Celia in her hand to block in front of the two of them.
The two people clasped each other’s hands.
The powerful, razor-like astral wind was present and whistled in this place. Moreover, it was truly pitch-black before their eyes. They could not see anything.
Even with their divine sense, they barely managed to see five meters in front of them… This place felt like a mine with hard rocks all over the ground, and many deep marks had been left behind. At a glance, some kind of blade seemed to have generated those marks.
Alex shook his head. “I don’t know either. Just now, I sensed that the spell formation seemed to change one second before it was broken.”
Just then, a whistling sound whizzed in their ears. An even stronger astral wind blew over.
The Martello Celia clanged continuously as the astral wind hit it. However, the hammer couldn’t block the astral wind completely, no matter how huge it was. Some of the wind still blew past Alex and Jade’s bodies.
Zap! Zap!
Tears began to appear on their clothes. Even the skin under their clothes was sliced. Even more outrageous was that the hard rocks on the ground were also cut, leaving deep marks. Hence, the ‘blade marks’ at sixes and sevens here were not generated by sword slashes but left by the astral wind.
The two people had no words left in just a brief moment.
Their clothes could barely cover their privates.
Jade said, “We have to think of a way out of this situation. We will die here if this continues!” Her body was ravaged. She lost her golden blood to the point she was about to become anemic. She had never bled like that during her menstrual periods.
On the other hand, Alex was fine. His physical body’s defense was powerful, and his recovery rate was faster and more superior than Jade’s. However, this astral wind seemed never-ending, and the damage kept increasing.
Alex put the Mystic Armor on Jade, but wounds still constantly appeared. He thought about using the Cleansing Vase.
It would seem useless here, though. The space was condensed, and he couldn’t open it.
“Let’s find a place to hide for a while.”
A few minutes later, Alex found a boulder.
Alex and Jade immediately hid behind the boulder and used the Mystic Armor and the Martello Celia for firm protection. To protect Jade from taking further damage, Alex could not help but drag her in front of him before protecting her firmly with his body as a shield.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2912
Embracing Jade’s soft and warm body, Alex didn’t lose his mind even though he was experiencing excruciating pain!
This place was truly hellish. Not only was he forbidden to use the Cleansing Vase, but he also could not use ice-attribute spells. It seemed that this place did not contain any water vapor making the Great Icebound Spell lose its effect.
He naturally could not use it to block the astral wind.
Puff!
The sound of the skin-splitting astral wind Alex howled endlessly in his ears.
Jade hid in his arms and stared at his young and heroic face with her pretty eyes, feeling vulnerable for the first time… She was his master, yet here she was, allowing her disciple to protect her by using his body at such a difficult moment. She reached out and touched his back, only to feel a handful of blood.
“Hurry and put this shield on your back to block it!”
Jade threw the Mystic Armor at him, trying to protect him as soon as possible… Soon, the shield emitted continuous thuds.
The astral wind’s impact was simply more severe than the slashes of a blade.
However, the wind was everywhere, and it could get in as long as a gap was present.
Alex covered Jade with his entire body and pinned her against the Martello Celia, managing to reduce her damage by 80%. Clearly, most of the blows landed on his body.
Jade’s eyes were slightly red-rimmed. “It’s enough. It’s my turn to block it now.”
Hugging her even more tightly, Alex shook his head. “My physical body and recovery rate are stronger than yours! You don’t have to act tough! Put your mind at ease and stay put!”
“But you…”
“I believe you will do the same if your defense is stronger than mine.”
At that moment, a voice came from the Martello Celio. “As a Titan Tribe member, you can’t even withstand this minor astral wind. You would be a laughing stock if this were to be made known. Grandpa Hammer, you should feel extremely embarrassed.”
“Huh?”
Alex was stunned. “This hammer can speak?”
His first reaction was exactly the same as Jade’s.
After only a few minutes, Alex realized that Jade had turned out to be from some Titan Tribe… This was shocking.
“The Titan Tribe is the race with the greatest physical strength in the entire universe. How can you be afraid of mere astral wind?”
“Get up and face the wind bravely. You can only enlighten yourself and awaken the divine blood if you endure that pain with your body, ” the Martello Celia persuaded.
Alex could no longer listen to the words. “What do you mean by enduring the pain with her body? Can’t you see that the astral wind has left many wounds on her? Do you intend to kill her? By the way, Martello Celia, you are a supreme weapon, but you seem to be of no particular use other than hammering nails.”
“Nonsense!”
Grandpa Hammer was furious. “Brat, you don’t know sh*t! Come. I will give you a temporary awakening now to show you how awesome the real Titan Tribe is.”
The totem on the Martello Celia lit up, and a faint totem imprint on Jade’s forehead was stimulated.
After a while, the exposed skin under Jade’s tattered clothes revealed a dazzling golden color, as if she had turned into some kind of metal. Then, no matter how hard the astral wind blew, it could only slice her clothes and failed to inflict any damage to her body.
Jade was completely stunned when she felt the changes. Presently, she had some kind of enlightenment, she truly belonged to the Titan Tribe!
If that were the case, it would mean her mother wasn’t her biological mother.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2913
“Who exactly am I?”
The astral wind blew even harder.
Alex grimaced as he trembled in excruciating pain. Jade held him with force and turned around to protect Alex. She looked into his eyes. “You said I would do the same if I was capable. You’re right.”
Alex was stunned.
Jade had undergone a drastic change this time. She just looked completely… Non-human and more of a robot. He involuntarily stretched out his finger and poked her in the chest.
“Huh?”
“Turns out it’s soft?”
Jade was exasperated. “Rascal, where are you poking at? Is that a place you can poke at?”
Alex said awkwardly with a smile, “I thought it would turn into a gold nugget. How strange. Your skin feels almost as soft as before, but it can block the astral wind without any scratches. Isn’t this skin too thick?”
The hammer suddenly said, “Brat, you better not fantasize about a woman from the Titan Tribe because you can’t afford one.”
Alex knitted his brows. “How so? Is the wedding expensive?”
The old hammer said, “She will take your life.”
Alex never thought about what relationship could develop between Jade and him, but the old hammer’s words sounded real. He was curious.
“Why did you say so? How can she possibly take my life?”
“How?” The old hammer burst into laughter. “You ordinary humans are completely unable to withstand the Titan Tribe, especially her Yin energy. Once it is poured into your body, it will directly burn you into ashes and leave nothing behind.”
“Huh?”
Alex was shocked. “Are you saying that the first man who has sex with her will die?”
The old hammer said, “I’m talking about ordinary humans like your kind, excluding others from the Titan Tribe… In fact, a woman from the tribe can only marry a man from the tribe. Otherwise, she simply has a death wish.”
“Then… Why is Xerxes Lawlor still alive and kicking? Logically, shouldn’t he have been…”
Unexpectedly, Jade said something that made his eyes widen in disbelief.
“I am still a virgin.”
“What? Didn’t you marry Xerxes again after the divorce? If you are still a virgin, then how did you get married? Could it be that you got married without the consummation?”
“Pooh! You really can’t say anything nice with your foul mouth. It was a fake marriage.”
Alex was speechless. He was truly stunned!
The old hammer also mentioned one thing, even if a man could withstand her scorching Yin energy, they would not have any offspring after copulation because she could not bear a child… The interior bodies of the females from the Titan Tribe were like lava, so what kind of sperm could survive in such an environment?
At the same time, Jeremy also rushed into this world with the people from the Returning Sword Sect. Instantly, he regretted his decision.
The endless astral wind blew the people’s souls till they were about to shatter. It did not take long before casualties started showing up… Jeremy brought in twelve people, but the astral wind blew five of them to death within a few minutes. The remaining few people were drenched in blood and yelled in pain.
The people from Rakshasa Temple also came in soon after.
When both parties met each other, their eyes brimmed with tears.
An elder from Rakshasa Temple looked shocked and shouted, “This place… This place is not the Fuzen Tower, nor is it the Dao Field of Terra Mountain! Oh my God! This is the Demon Cleansing Tower!”
Jeremy asked loudly, “What’s the Demon Cleansing Tower?“
That elder replied, “That is… After real celestial demons enter the Demon Cleansing Tower, they will be cleansed without leaving their corpses behind. As soon as people like us enter the Demon Cleansing Tower, we will be goners. All of us are going to die here!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2914
The people from Rakshasa Temple had occupied the Fuzen Tower of Terra Mountain and seemed to have done a detailed investigation on its history.
That man introduced, “Legend has it that a great battle between the deities and demons had broken out in the middle of the ancient era. Taikoubou held the Investiture of the Gods and carried out the deification here at Terra Mountain, but some absolutely dreadful devils could not be killed by normal means. Hence, the Demon Cleansing Tower was built on Fuzen Tower.”
“The ancient demons would be ground to dust once they fell into the Demon Cleansing Tower, let alone those who hadn’t achieved Incarnate Deity level like us.”
After the group finished listening to the introduction of the elder from Rakshasa Temple, all their hearts sank.
In addition, the astral wind blew onto their bodies endlessly and sliced open their flesh like blades, the pain so intense it penetrated into their bone marrow. After that, they helplessly saw their companions falling one by one. Few could resist such psychological pressure.
“Sect Master, what should we do? Help! I don’t want to die!”
“Somebody! Come and save us! We aren’t demons!” The group of people shouted as they burst into tears.
Jeremy was not fine either, but he was a half-stepped Incarnated Deity. Furthermore, he usually cherished his life so much that he would wear many magical treasures for defense. Since he was the sect master and his magical treasures were of high level, he managed to resist them.
“Over here! There is a boulder over here!”
“Everyone from the Returning Sword Sect. Come here quickly while you carry the corpses on the ground!”
Everyone understood it. They could use the corpses as their shields.
However, all spatial magical treasures couldn’t be used in this place. Only magical treasures in their mind palaces and those bound to their souls could be used… At that moment, they had no choice but to utilize whatever magical treasures at their disposal to block the wind, all for another moment of survival.
The astral wind was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. This process lasted for a while before it finally stopped.
***
Clang! Clang! Clang!
While Jade pinned Alex down, he began hearing the endless sound of the astral wind hitting the Mystic Armor. The sound made on Jade’s body also rang in his ears non-stop.
However, these sounds later diminished until they disappeared completely. The astral wind stopped too.
Alex heaved a massive sigh of relief. As soon as he breathed, he smelled a particularly fragrant odor. Then, something wet and sticky fell on his body.
“What is this?”
Alex touched it before he looked up. The next second, he was stunned. It turned out to be golden blood.
It was Jade’s blood.
“What’s going on? Jade? Jade Benmore?”
He sensed that Jade was motionless as though she was dead. Then, her body, which was supposed to be in gold, reverted to its previous state and the skin in front of her was abnormally white.
‘When did she return to her original appearance?’
Alex found Jade’s vital signs were faint and her life hanging by a thread. He then saw her body covered in wounds made by the astral wind. Her clothes and pants had long been shredded, and her flesh was severely mutilated. Exposed bones could be seen in many areas.
“Ah!” Alex was so terrified his voice distorted. He then cried all of a sudden.
“Jade Benmore, are you a fool? Why didn’t you tell me that you had lifted your status?”
Alex’s heart skipped a beat while his limbs trembled. Now, he blamed himself for letting Jade pin him down. After learning that she was unscathed , he was relaxed and was even in the frame of mind to experience the greatness of getting pinned down by a beauty. Thus, he ignored her abnormal status.
“Jade! Jade! Hang on! You can’t die! Do you want me to live with guilt for the rest of my life?!”
He wanted to feed her healing pills, but he could not even open his storage ring. So, he immediately channeled his divine power into her body.
However…
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2916
“Hmm…”
After letting out a light snort, Jade’s consciousness returned, and she woke up. Right after she woke up, she felt numbness, a tingling and tight sensation, all over her body. She touched her body and was shocked…
‘Where is Alex? Where is that brat?’
“Huh? You really managed to survive. You kind of surprised me.” An old voice woke Jade up, it was the old hammer nagging.
As soon as Jade got to her feet, she saw a large expanse of dark red blood and Alex lying motionless on the ground.
“Alex! Alex… Wake up!
“What’s wrong with him? Ah… His leg, his stomach, and this… What happened? How is there so much blood?! Why is he so badly injured?”
Jade looked anxious as she shook Alex repeatedly.
The old hammer said, “He is going to die soon… This guy is really strange. Logically, he should have been dead. Why is his life still hanging by a thread? Why does he refuse to die?”
At the old hammer’s words and tone, Jade’s eyes were filled with rage. “Tell me. What on earth happened?”
The old hammer said casually, “The process was very simple. Your bloodline was too weak. The activation time of the Titan Tribe bloodline was limited, so you were almost killed by the astral wind. This brat saved you with his flesh and blood, but, hmm… He is about to die. Consider it… Him fulfilling his wish.”
“What did you say?”
“Do you not understand me? Your comprehension is so terrible. I think it’s unlikely that you will activate your bloodline. Fine! You may see it for yourself!”
A screen suddenly lit up from one side of the Martello Celia. This was just like movie footage, not to mention it was extremely clear. The scene of Jade protecting Alex under her body before the astral wind knocked her out was playing.
Then, she saw Alex sever his artery and pour his blood on her body.
The footage was fast-forwarded… He shed more and more blood…
The old hammer chimed in, “It’s really strange. This brat’s blood is actually more than the volume of his entire body. Normal people would have long died…”
Looking at the footage, Jade paled with trembling lips.
Then, it was the scene of cutting out his flesh.
The old hammer narrated, “This brat harbored deep feelings for you. He cut off his flesh piece by piece… I could feel the pain just by looking at him.”
Jade covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face.
“This guy. Was… Was he insane?”
Jade’s heart trembled as she twitched and burst into tears. She had never thought that someone would sacrifice himself for her sake. No one had ever done that for her!
The old hammer lamented, “It is easy to find a priceless treasure, but it is hard to have a Romeo! This brat is filled with merit for saving the sole descendant of the Titan Tribe. How about this? I will grant him a quick and painless death!”
“How dare you?!” rebuked Jade. Hugging Alex, Jade flew into a rage.
Golden light shot out of her eyes, with totems soaring inside.
“Huh?!” The old hammer was stunned. “You couldn’t activate the bloodline in your body when you were near death. However, when you hear that your love is about to die, you actually show signs of activation! Looks like you really love each other to the core. But unfortunately, he can’t impregnate you or have a child with you.”
“Shut up! He is my disciple.”
“Disciple? Oh gosh…” The old hammer seemed to have bitten its tongue… If only it had a tongue. “Of course, it is a duty for a disciple to save his master. He will die a worthy death.”
Jade gritted her teeth. “I want to save him.”
The old hammer refuted, “You can’t save him. He is beyond salvation.”
Jade’s eyes looked firm. “When I briefly activated my bloodline, I acquired some information. The Titan Tribe has an omnipotent spell called the Life Sacrifice.”
The old hammer screamed like a eunuch. “Have you gone mad?! If you use the Life Sacrifice, your life will be merged with this human! If he dies, you will die too!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2917
“What does it matter?”
“You… Alright, but you still can’t save him.” The old hammer suddenly said in a relaxed tone, “It’s because the Life Sacrifice is a mystic art of the Titan Tribe. You don’t have the ability to activate your bloodline, so you naturally can’t use this mystic art… Hmm, perhaps you can use it in the future, but he will be long gone leaving any bones behind.”
Tears gently slid down Jade’s face as she looked at Alex, who had long been unconscious.
“Did you know? In fact, I tricked him into becoming my disciple.” Jade seemed to be muttering to herself.
“Back then, he was so weak that I could kill him with a slap, but he was already flirty and had a few women.
“What I hate the most is unfaithful men and scumbags, but he knew medical skills, which were what we needed urgently. Thus, I tricked him into becoming my disciple so that he could serve me.”
The old hammer hummed. “Then, all the more reason that you don’t need the Life Sacrifice! If such a man is dead, so be it!”
Jade did not seem to hear anything.
“But I slowly discovered many good points about this scumbag. He is honest, hardworking, and always strives for laughable goals. He also practices justice without hesitation… He is very much like me!”
“He is also very foolish. He often abandons his life for women’s sake.”
“It seems that the life of every woman he knows is more valuable than his own.”
“Since I met him, I seem to have never done anything for him as a master. On the contrary, he often contributed and got injured for my sake. He even neglected his life for my sake…”
“I have failed my role as a master!”
She lowered her head as she muttered to herself. Tears streamed down her face onto Alex’s face. The faint golden light in her eyes was overwhelming, and the totems became increasingly brighter.
Then, golden light also abruptly emanated from her body.
“This is…” The old hammer was stunned.
‘The bloodline is being activated?’
‘What an intense emotion. This is… Her mental strength is awakening?’
‘What a powerful fixation…’
‘She actually broke the taboo for this man cum disciple. Oh my God! I have never seen the mental strength of any Titan Tribe member awaken with such intense fluctuations! What kind of obsession is this? Even if they are a couple, she can’t possibly trigger such a powerful mental impact, right?’
A golden vortex was formed around Jade’s body, enveloping the two people.
“Alex Rockefeller, from today… I will become your guardian angel!’
“Life… Sacrifice!”
***
Alex woke up half an hour after Jade used the Life Sacrifice. He was alive and kicking, and his entire body was intact.
“Huh? The recovery this time was faster than I thought!”
Alex jumped up. Seeing the unscathed Jade who had come back to life, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then walked over and asked, “How are you? Do you still feel unwell? Let me check your pulse.”
He grabbed Jade’s snow-white wrist.
Jade allowed him to grab her wrist as she looked at him with passion in her beautiful eyes.
Alex checked her pulse for a while before he let her go. “Not bad. Not bad. Everything is normal… Uh. Your eyes look so dangerous and are full of aggression. Jade Benmore, you haven’t become a nympho that’s trying to devour me, have you?”
Jade stretched out her hand at lightning speed and pinched his nose.
‘Oh crap! She’s too fast!’
Alex couldn’t dodge it, and his nose was pinched.
Jade slowly leaned over the distance between the two only… 0.01 centimeters.
Jade’s red lips parted slightly as she whispered in a gentle and soft voice, “Call me master!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2918
“Master?”
‘Uh. Does she harbor strange feelings for me after using my flesh and blood? Is there such an intimate way to address a master? Judging from her look, she is not trying to play some kind of ethically forbidden game, is she? It sounds exciting, but…’
Alex backed off unconsciously.
At that moment, the blabbermouth, Grandpa Hammer, directly mentioned the Life Sacrifice. During the conversation, it even said that Alex had received a great advantage. The Titan Tribe’s lifespan was several times that of a human, meaning Alex would greatly increase his lifespan.
At the same time, the Titan Tribe’s specialty was high body strength. Once the bloodline was activated, the physical body would be a supreme magical treasure.
Since Alex had received the Life Sacrifice, his body strength would continue to be enhanced with the passage of time, and he could reach up to half of the strength of the Titan Tribe.
However…
“What are you talking about? Are our lives merged? If she dies, will I die too? You’ve got to be kidding me. Wouldn’t that mean I have to worry everyday about dying anytime?”
Alex immediately jumped up upon learning the biggest flaw of the Life Sacrifice.
Jade flicked her fingers and hit Alex’s forehead. “You unfilial disciple… Are you cursing your master to die early? I just saved your life! You would’ve been long dead without my Life Sacrifice! I should be aggrieved! I will also be dragged down by your death.”
“Who says I’m going to die soon?”
“It did.” Jade pointed at the Martello Celia.
Alex was truly dejected! He was well aware of his body. He had Ymir’s Divine Bone, Yin-Yang Chi, Yellow Obsidian Chi, and the True Martial Marrow. In addition, he had constructed a Zharvakko talisman in his body before he fell into a coma. As long as he spent a little time recuperating and healing his injuries, he would recover from all the injuries.
However…
Alex was speechless about Jade’s action.
Even so…
“You bast*rd hammer, don’t spew nonsense if you don’t know anything. Who’s going to die?”
“I’ll make it clear. I was feigning death while maximizing my life energy to heal my injuries. My body is full of treasures, and my recovery ability is extremely rare, but because of this bast*rd’s Life Sacrifice, I… I’m going to melt you down and turn you into a scale.”
Jade was stunned. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
However…
“Can the Life Sacrifice be reversed?” asked Alex.
“Impossible. Don’t ever think about it in this lifetime,” replied the old hammer.
Jade comforted him, “Fine. You should just get over it. Now that I have awakened the Titan Tribe’s bloodline, my strength is no longer what it used to be. I feel that I have become invincible in the world again. Rest assured. I will protect you. If someone dares to bully you , I will beat him to death.”
“What if Xerxes Lawlor bullies me?”
“I will castrate him.”
“Alright! Mark your words.”
“…”
Jade rolled her beautiful eyes. “Are you jealous of Xerxes after realizing that you have fallen in love with me?”
Alex rolled his eyes. “I still don’t want to die. It would be especially depressing if I were scorched to death by your Yin energy… But come to think of it, it’s still quite depressing. There is one more woman who can control my fate.”
Jade was startled. “What’s going on? Who else can control your fate?”
Alex said, “The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens. I signed a master-servant contract with her. Once she dies, I will die too. Then…”
“I’m going to die too?”
Jade was restless. The fate of two people suddenly ended up being the fate of three. The risks had just increased exponentially.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. How could you sign such a contract?”
“What else could I do? The situation was urgent at that time. I would die if I didn’t sign it.”
“Then, what should we do now?”
“I don’ t know either.”
After thinking for a while, Jade said, “I have an idea… Imprison the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, and don’t let her out. What do you think?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2919
“What if she commits suicide?”
“I… Crappy hammer, it’s all your fault.”
***
In the Demon Cleansing Tower, Jeremy and the others were searching for a way out.
The elder from Rakshasa Temple had said that the Demon Cleansing Tower was specifically built for demonic gods, but every cloud had a silver lining. It was gentler toward existences that were not demonic gods, so there should be a way out. As long as they could find a way out, they could leave this place alive.
However, that wouldn’t be easy to find. And, the interior of this tower was akin to a world of unknown size.
“Huh?! There are traces of blood here!”
“Looks like they are still fresh.”
Someone shouted, lighting up the crowd’s mood at once.
“It’s the blood of Alex Rockefeller and Jade Benmore!”
“Guys, hurry and look for them. Alex Rockefeller is proficient in spell formations and mystic arts. Since he could open the entrance to the Demon Cleansing Tower, he can find a way out for sure. May God bless that guy so that he doesn’t die early.”
Someone also said viciously, “If this bast*rd hadn’t opened this entrance and misled us into thinking that it was the real entrance to the Dao Field of Terra Mountain, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today. Once we’re done using that guy, I’m going to give him a taste of cruelty.”
Many people seemingly had the same idea.
Only Jeremy thought of Jade and the Martello Celia in her hands. There had to be a secret inside the Martello Celia, whereas Jade… He could tell that her body was slightly unique with unlimited potential. If he could acquire her or capture her for a proper study, he might get unexpected gains.
It did not take long before they discovered Alex and Jade.
After all, the bloodstains along the way were more obvious. Whether Alex had saved Jade or Jade had saved Alex, it must’ve taken them a lot of time.
A disciple from the Returning Sword Sect shouted, “I found Alex Rockefeller! They are here!”
However, a golden figure with a massive black shadow abruptly descended from the sky right after the voice fell.
That was Jade with the Martello Celia. She had activated the golden Titan body of the Titan Tribe and leaped dozens of meters in the air. She then smashed that man from the Returning Sword Sect who had just shouted, into a pulp with a loud boom.
“Holy crap! How manly!”
Right after Alex said that, Jade came back while carrying the Martello Cella. She then stood in front of him and said, “Your injuries have just healed. Don’t move around. I will protect you.”
“I’m fine. I’m all healed up.”
“But there are many of them! Be a good boy!” Jade Benmore patted his fair face before she rushed out with the hammer.
On the other side, twenty to thirty experts from the Returning Sword Sect and Rakshasa Temple under Jeremy’s lead had gathered around.
Roar!
“Go to hell!”
Jade vented all the grievance, tyranny, resentment and pain she had accumulated all this time. The Returning Sword Sect and Rakshasa Temple had inflicted a wave of shame and death to the Flying Eagles, unleashing the full potential of her Titan bloodline.
Now, she wanted to exterminate all those people in one fell swoop.
Witnessing the scene, Alex was dumbstruck as the changes before and after activating her bloodline were too great. She narrowly escaped death when she previously fought Jeremy alone, but now, she managed to fight so many.
The Titan Tribe was truly divine!
However, the next second, Alex shouted, “Holy crap!”
Not only did Jade fail to fight the crowd, but she was surrounded by peril after Jeremy cornered her with a few sword slashes. The others’ killer moves also made her look wretched.
Alex rushed over and unleashed an Icebound spell with a wave of his hand.
“Leave quickly!”
While pulling Jade’s arm and running out at lightning speed, Alex said, “I thought you really became Super Saiyan all of a sudden, but it turned out that you were teasing me.”
Jade was a little dumbfounded. “Hammer, I clearly felt that I could take them down. Why did I have so little energy, as if I had used it up?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 2920
When Jade killed the first person, she was extremely domineering and looked simply invincible. However, she did not expect to use up all the power at once.
As a result, she ended up in a predicament and was almost captured by Jeremy when she rushed over to kill the second person.
The old geezer in the Martello Celia said, “You have just awakened the bloodline of the Titan Tribe. Did you really you were invincible? It’s not like the awakened bloodline has turned you into a new person. You will possess the same amount of energy as you originally had.”
“No way! Then, was my awakening all for nothing?”
“That’s not the case. You awakened the hard conditions from the awakened bloodline. Your body, for instance, could only hold a hundred points of power before, but you can now hold one million points. Your previous rate of absorbing the Earth essence was one, but now it is ten thousand. This is the essential difference. Do you understand? You activated the Life Sacrifice for him right after you awakened your bloodline. You have never accumulated any power, so how is your body going to provide so much energy for you?”
Alex said, “I understand! It is like you are a horse. Previously, you were a short, skinny, probably a sickly little rookie…”
Jade glared at him. “Who are you calling sick? Who’s the rookie?”
“I’m just making an analogy. You have now awakened and become a Nisean horse that can run at a breakneck speed, for instance, but your energy has, in fact, originated from the same source, that is eating grass and drinking water… One ate less, while the other one ate more…”
The old hammer said, “This analogy is right. Your current capacity is large, and you still need to fill up the energy, but the energy doesn’t appear out of thin air. Eating is the first key trick, and the important ability of the Titan Tribe is eating.”
“Oh gosh…”
Jade couldn’t imagine herself turning into a glutton. She would have to stuff food into her month all the time. That was too terrifying.
The Martello Celia said, “The Titan Tribe eats everything.”
Alex was shocked. “They eat everything? Can they eat mud?”
“They can!”
“Can they eat metal?”
“They can!”
“How about stones?”
“They are edible too!”
“The toilet’s…”
Smack! Jade slapped him on the head. “Who are you trying to disgust?”
Alex said with a smile, “I’m just curious.”
The old hammer said, “You need to eat higher tier food as the degree of awakening increases. After reaching a certain level, the low-tier food will be consumed for nothing.”
The two people ran as they talked. Those behind them didn’t let them off the hook so easily and kept chasing. Moreover, ten or so extremely powerful flying swords kept swarming around them.
Whoosh!
A figure flew over the two people’s heads and landed in front of them. It was none other than the sect master of the Returning Sword Sect, Jeremy Trippier.
With a wave of the hand, a hundred flying swords appeared in front of Jeremy and lined up in a circular formation. The tips of the swords trembled lightly and pointed at Alex and Jade. He then said, “If you both join my Returning Sword Sect, I will wipe the slate clean. What do you think?”
“Scram!”
Jade jumped high and swung the hammer at him. Just now, she felt that she had strength again. She had just absorbed the energy on the way to their escape, but it was only enough for one blow.
A burst of explosions ensued.
Half of Jeremy’s flying swords clashed loudly with the Martello Celia.
Half of the flying swords were knocked back, but the other half shot out like meteors, targeting Jade. Jade screwed up again at the critical moment. She ran back with injuries all over her body, looking wretched. Alex had again rescued her from the siege with the Icebound Spell and the Dao Killing Sword.
However, the enemies behind quickly caught up to them and surrounded them.
There was no way of escape before their eyes.
Just then, a whistling sound rang in their ears. Regardless of Alex, Jade, Returning Sword Sect, or Rakshasa Temple, the sound remained fresh in their memories, such that they could never forget it in this lifetime, that was the boundless astral wind in this place. It stopped for a while earlier, but unexpectedly, it came again.
Someone instantly shouted, “Everyone, be careful! The astral wind is coming again!”
“Holy crap! Why is it coming again? Everyone, hurry and find a boulder to hide yourselves!”
“This place is empty. Where can we find any boulders?”
