The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3101
He instantly freaked out when he thought of how he would become a slave for the rest of his life after he lost.
“Senior Nikolai, I’m just a junior to you. I grew up listening to your legends. I never expected that we’d both would become seeds. I hereby express my great joy about this. As for the match, it is unnecessary. Senior Nikolai, I won’t dare to be impudent in front of you.”
Eustace was still arrogant and domineering earlier, but unexpectedly, the appearance of Nikolai had suppressed him.
After that, many people rushed over. They were all so-called seeds that had come out of various sanctuaries and arrived at Mount Yukon as if there was some kind of tacit agreement.
They were all looking at Alex constantly absorbing spiritual energy and luck in the Jade Building within the force field under the Little Divine Phoenix’s help.
Someone said, “Guys, I think everyone should understand the current situation. Something in Yukon can control the spiritual energy and luck in various sanctuaries. Back when I was first identified as a seed, my seniors told me that this spiritual energy and luck belongs to everyone. Acquiring them would depend on your own abilities.”
“That’s right. I also heard a similar remark back then.”
“What are we waiting for then? Hurry up and destroy the force field in Yukon. We will enter it together and collect the spiritual energy and luck.”
“Alright. Let’s work together, and we will break the force field for sure.”
Everyone spoke their mind.
A total of twenty-five seeds had come and engaged in a heated discussion. They looked just like they were in a marketplace.
Those people inside Yukon Sanctuary were stunned. That energy force was too terrifying. Anyone out of those twenty or so people was an overpowering existence. Unexpectedly, so many popped out at once.
Maya lamented, “I really never expected that a terrifying seed would exist in the deepest of each sanctuary! This is truly a big deal! I once heard Alex mention that a seed left behind in antiquity is a secret weapon. Now, I know that it is extremely hard to distinguish the truth behind the sham propagated by the people in antiquity. It’s the second spiritual energy tide this time, and it has forced all these people out.”
After saying that, she was slightly worried as she looked in the direction of the Jade Building.
Eustace alone had caused the force field of thousand flags to shake just now. Few were at similar cultivation as Eustace, and the force field would not block them for sure.
“Commander Benmore hasn’t returned yet,” Daya blurted suddenly.
She had been paying attention to Jade’s movements. Earlier, she saw Jade being knocked off the cliff. She initially thought that it should not be a problem for Jade with the strength of her physical body and that she should have come back stealthily while taking advantage of the chaos. Eustace was currently shocked, but she was still not heard of.
That was worrying.
Gilbert said, “She seems to have been knocked off the cliff. I wonder how she is doing right now.”
Daya said, “I’ll go find her.”
Daya, who was close to nature, possessed Nature’s power and was an expert in concealing herself. She silently exited the force field to find the place where Jade got knocked out.
On the other hand, Nikolai and the others agreed to attack the force field immediately before they went in to absorb the spiritual energy and luck and acquire their fortunes.
However, someone stepped forward and objected. It was none other than Esmeralda Campbell.
“Don’t you guys see it? That’s the Little Divine Phoenix, the real master of the Stoermer Sect as well as the top echelon of the League of Cultivators. She’s helping another seed in there. Aren’t you guys afraid of punishment for interrupting her just like that?”
Eustace said, “Afraid, my a*s! That woman’s physical body has long perished. She is just a wisp of a remnant soul, so what is there to be afraid of? What right has she to give that Rockefeller all the fortunes and opportunities that belong to us? Wouldn’t our forbearance and efforts all these years be in vain then?”
Nikolai waved his hand. “Break the spell formation!”
“Wait a minute!”
Esmeralda stopped everyone. “I disagree! You can break the spell formation over my dead body.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3102
A goddess from the Mountain Warriors Sect fixed her hostile eyes at Esmeralda. “You puny snake demon… It’s already a great blessing to become a member of the seeds. How dare you come forward and go against so many of us? Do you have a death wish?”
“That’s right! Hurry up and get out of the way if you don’t want your bones to be ground into ashes!”
Esmeralda refused to give way. “I’m from the Stoermer Sect, as long as Her Highness is in there, it is my business. If you try to harm Her Highness, then you will be enemies of the Stoermer Sect!”
“Bullsh*t!”
Eustace admonished, “To hell with that nonsensical Stoermer Sect of yours! My Stoermer Sect is the legitimate one! Snake demon, you probably are in cahoots with that Rockefeller in there, aren’t you? Now, I have serious doubts about the Little Divine Phoenix, who is weak in spirit without her physical body. She must be under the control of that Rockefeller, or she wouldn’t have done such a thing. Guys, what do you think?”
Everyone wanted to acquire the item inside the Jade Building. They naturally agreed with Eustace’s statement.
As for the many loopholes within the statement, they were ignored deliberately.
Nikolai said, “Snake demon, it’s hard for you to transform into a human. Hurry and get out of the way. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.”
“No way.”
“How stubborn!”
Roar!
Esmeralda manifested her enormous green snake body. The seeds attacked Esmeralda soon after. Just as Esmeralda was about to be overwhelmed by the attacks and die horribly under the hands of many seeds, she opened her mouth and violently threw out a green Jade Hairpin Sword.
The sword came out and emitted dazzling brilliance surging with murderous intent.
Nikolai snorted coldly, “What is a puny snake demon capable of?”
Nikolai used a katana. He landed a slash at her. He intended to slay Esmeralda’s body along with the sword under a single blow from his katana… This was his famous ultimate move, Warren Waltz.
He used to dominate the world by relying on this move.
As a result…
Clank!
A crisp sound rang out.
Surprisingly, Esmeralda’s Jade Hairpin Sword had severed the treasured katana in Nikolai’s hand. Nikolai was astonished, but he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
As soon as his natal treasured katana, his mental domain was injured from the backlash.
“What a sharp sword! Great! I want this sword of yours!” said Nikolai.
“Come and get it if you are capable!” Esmeralda replied.
Nikolai shouted, “Guys, let’s act together and subdue this snake demon first. I have an eye on the sword in her hand. Please do me a favor and let me have that sword. When the time comes, I’ll give everyone a law pill.”
“Alright!”
“Hahahaha!” Esmeralda laughed. “I thought you guys were very powerful, but it turns out everyone is a bumpkin. Tell you what, my man is a Grandmaster in pill concoction. Something like a law pill is just a child’s play, and he can even give someone the Pill of Enlightenment casually. You guys are so poor. Why don’t you become my man’s henchmen? The law pills are enough, and the Pills of Enlightenment will be given away too.”
The crowd was instantly shocked.
Someone asked, “Who is your man?”
Esmeralda pointed in the direction of the Jade Building.
“That’s my man!”
“…”
“D*mn! So this snake demon hooked up with that man?!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3103
“Kill her!” Eustace took the lead and made a move.
The Umbrella of Destiny spun and attacked Esmeralda with circles of life and death threads.
However, Esmeralda’s Jade Hairpin Sword was overpowering, unexpectedly turning into circles of sword light and surrounding her body.
Roar!
Esmeralda roared and directly crashed into the life and death threads. The life and death threads couldn’t break the sword light of her Jade Hairpin Sword.
All the other people attacked Esmeralda and threw long range weapons, hidden weapons, and Chi at her. She was alone, whereas all the opponents were seeds. Each was selected by the major sanctuary’s sect, the supremely Divine Heir. Hence, she could not hold them off.
One had to know that these supremely Divine Heirs did not hail from the Wasteland. Rather, they were successors who were once carefully selected in the universe.
Poof!
Esmeralda’s green snake body received countless attacks. It fell hard on the ground and turned into a woman again.
Shocked, Nikolai said, “This woman’s main body is not a snake, but this is her real body. That snake is her transformed body.”
Eustace said, “Who cares what she is! The ones who support Rockefeller are enemies! Just kill her!”
He was going to kill Esmeralda. The other people were fine with that.
Just then, the Little Divine Phoenix’s voice was heard again. “She’s a member of my Stoermer Sect. If you dare to kill her, mark my words. All of you will be buried along with her.”
That was the Little Divine Phoenix’s style. She was extremely domineering yet protective.
Nikolai looked at the Little Divine Phoenix as he said, “Little Divine Phoenix, come to think of it, we are both old acquaintances. Back then, my Warren’s Heavenly Palace had a great relationship with your Stoermer Sect. My mother even personally met your father to matchmake us, hoping that we would someday become cultivation partners. However, you went your own way and rejected me. Look, I’m still at the pinnacle after so many years, but you, Little Divine Phoenix, only have a soul remnant left… What right do you have to say such words in that state?”
The Little Divine Phoenix looked at Nikolai. “Even if I don’t say it, everyone is aware of your Warren’s Heavenly Palace’s relationship with my Stoermer Sect. It is even unqualified to enter the periphery of the Stoermer Sect. On the other hand, you’re known as a genius, but that’s just an opinion of the ordinary. I have countless brothers and sisters in the Rowan family, and which of them is less talented than you? You aren’t even worthy enough to carry my shoes, yet you wish to become my cultivation partner?”
“You…”
Nikolai was the self-proclaimed Chosen One.
Never did he expect that he would be so pathetic in the Little Divine Phoenix’s eyes. He was infuriated. “Fine! If that’s the case, you can come and kill me! Or, call your brothers and sisters over and kill me! You have none of them, right? All of them have become lost souls! What is this called? Serves you right! Who told you Rowan’s to be arrogant and overbearing without taking others seriously? You Rowan’s brought it upon yourselves.”
The Little Divine Phoenix’s eyes widened with rage. “My brothers and sisters were heroic children who protected their home and country. They dedicated their lives to the universe. This is their utmost honor. You, Nikolai Jovorich, insulted the Rowans today. I, Phoenix Rowan, swear I shall destroy Warren’s Heavenly Palace.”
After saying that, a thunderbolt suddenly struck down, as if attesting to the Little Divine Phoenix’s words.
Nikolai’s heart skipped a beat.
Eustace said, “Your Highness, you are already in this state, and the Rowan family has been ruined. Why don’t you open up the force field? We will serve Your Highness, and everyone will live in harmony. Otherwise, the last remnants of the soul will perish.”
Just then, a heavenly phoenix’ s caw was heard in the sky. A fiery phoenix traversed across the sky at the speed of light.
Boom!
A burly young man jumped and landed hard on the ground.
He glared at Eustace and said coldly, “Who said the Rowan family had been ruined? How dare you, a seed cultivated by the Stoermer Sect, try to kill a member of the Rowan family? You deserve to be killed!”
Eustace’s pupils constricted as he glanced at the fiery phoenix in the sky. He then said, “Who are you?”
The young man thundered, “The eldest son of the Rowan family, Ignatius Rowan!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3104
“The eldest son of the Rowan family?
“Ignatius Rowan?”
Eustace looked at the young man who was full of fire-attributed energy in front of him and laughed as he said, “Are you kidding me? The eldest son of the Rowan family? Which eldest son are you talking about? From which generation of the Rowan family? You can’t even speak clearly, so you better not come out and make a fool of yourself.”
Nikolai said, “That’s right. We’re talking about the child of Grand Emperor Rowan’s child, master of the Stoermer Sect. Who the hell are you?”
Ignatius said, “ Grand Emperor Rowan is my father.”
“Hahaha!”
Eustace laughed again. “Grand Emperor Rowan is your father? Why don’t you say you’re Grand Emperor Rowan’s father? You don’t even look at yourself. Kiddo, how old are you? Have you been fed? Do you know how old Grand Emperor Rowan is? He would’ve been at least one thousand years old if he were to live until now. Besides, he has disappeared for three millennia. May I ask where did you d*mn brat come from?”
Now, they neither knew Ignatius’s identity nor did they believe him.
Everyone knew Grand Emperor Rowan had an eldest son named Lucius Rowan.
He was an epoch-making powerhouse.
Grand Emperor Rowan, Heavenly Empress Phoenix, and the others had, in fact, reached a certain height in that era. They lived in seclusion, rarely appeared in public, and let their subordinates handle most of their affairs. For example, Lucius was treated as Emperor Rowan’s successor, so he intervened in many affairs. Thus, Lucius was equivalent to the Stoermer Sect’s actual powerholder during the latter period.
He was involved in various trivial and major matters. Through that, Lucius’s reputation grew.
Grand Emperor Rowan’s eldest son was born with a golden spoon, whereas Lucius was a blessed son who had earned an excellent reputation in the universe thanks to his unparalleled stratagem… So, who on earth was Ignatius Rowan?
However, at that moment, the Little Divine Phoenix, who was inside the Jade Building of Yukon, was stunned.
The other did not know Ignatius, but she knew him well. Her father, Grand Emperor Rowan, did have a child named Ignatius Rowan. However, as far as she knew, Ignatius jumped into the Pool of Reincarnation and reincarnated before she was born.
The incident had even caused an uproar.
Thousands of powerhouses joined forces and tried to deduce the precise location of the reincarnated Ignatius. Some people even threw their doppelgangers into the Pool of Reincarnation to find him, but they ended empty-handed.
Ignatius disappeared just like that.
After that, the Rowans also kept looking for Ignatius, but unfortunately, they found nothing. Even the greatest diviner could not deduce Ignatius’s whereabouts.
It turned out to be a major regret for the Rowan family. Ignatius’s mother, Lucretia Ephemera, fell sick thinking about him. Eventually, she even determinedly entered the nether realm to find her son’s traces. However, Lucretia never returned.
The nether realm was too great and there were many restrictions. The Rowans once led an army of a hundred thousand men and rushed into the nether realm, looking for Lucretia over a hundred years. Similarly, they ended up empty-handed.
At that moment, the Little Divine Phoenix, Phoenix Rowan, was stunned upon hearing Ignatius’s voice. If Ignatius was real, then he would be her half-brother with a different mother.
Ignatius stared at Eustace. “Any last words?”
Eustace was infuriated. “You want me to say my last? F*ck you. I’ll kill you right now.”
Eustace moved. Ignatius moved as well.
Whoosh!
A small mass of flame was shot out of Ignatius’ s palm. It was green pea-sized and completely inconspicuous, truly looking like an ordinary flame that did not pose any threat at all.
The careless Eustace sneered while grabbing that small mass of flame. He squeezed it in his hand. He thought that he would extinguish the small flame in a brief moment.
However, when Eustace squeezed it the next second, a huge mass of flame enveloped Eustace’s entire body like an explosion. That was a raging flame.
The temperature was also exceptionally high.
As the flames enveloped Eustace, the clothes and hair on his body were burned up in an instant. He disparately blocked it with the Umbrella of Destiny as his remaining physical body suffered as well.
The Umbrella of Destiny spun and blocked the white flame before blowing it away.
Nonetheless, only a small portion of it was blown away.
Nikolai seemed shocked as he looked at Ignatius and exclaimed, “This is… The True Fire of Sunburst?”
Ignatius said, “You seem to be somewhat knowledgeable. Since you know I’m using the True Fire of Sunburst, which is an existence more powerful than the True Fire of Samadhi, do you think you still can escape today?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3105
Nikolai was speechless.
Eustace spun the Umbrella of Destiny in his hand continuously. Even so, he felt very uncomfortable. Ignatius ’s strange fire seemed to be burning everywhere. It burned everything and was filled with some bizarre laws. He could neither get rid of it nor extinguish it at all costs.
‘What should I do?’ Eustace chose to seek help in the face of a life and death situation.
However, everyone was afraid of such a bizarre and dangerous flame. None of those people standing around him was willing to rescue him. They even told him to leave quickly so that he would not drag the others down. The indifference and apathy of their voices were evident.
“As I said, you deserve to die for insulting the Rowans! Those who insult the Rowans shall die!”
As Ignatius squeezed his hand, that mass of flame enveloping Eustace surged with rising temperature. Before the crowd could react, Eustace’s entire body burned up.
“Argh!”
Eustace screamed horribly. That kind of pain was not something an ordinary human could endure.
He could not understand it. What on earth was Ignatius’s flame? How could it inflict such great damage to him?
The next second, he pounced on Ignatius with all his might.
“I will take you down with me even if I’m going to die.”
However, it was then that a phoenix’s loud and clear sound was heard overhead.
‘What?’ Eustace was stunned.
That was an arrow. It was shot from the sky and only took one-tenth of a second to arrive in front of Eustace like Instant Teleportation without any pause in between.
Poof!
A fiery red-feathered arrow pierced through Eustace’s heart.
Looking at his chest in disbelief, he felt his life force was draining away rapidly, as did his senses.
“I’m the seed! I’m actually… Going to die just like this?!”
Eustace looked hideous as he stared intently at the fiery phoenix in the sky. He saw a sitting woman over there. He couldn’t see her face clearly, but he saw a longbow in her hand.
She had shot that arrow earlier.
“Young Lord!”
“Young Lord?! Don’t die!”
Eustace’s maids rushed over. They even spat out blood simultaneously while rushing. That scene was simply like hell with blood splattered all over the place.
That was the power of the contract. Those maids had signed the Soul Contract with Eustace. It was the most stringent of master-slave contracts.
If the master died, his servants would die too. At that moment, they were all implicated.
“What’s going on?”
“Surprisingly, these women vomited in unison. Do they harbor such deep feelings for him?” a few seeds spoke.
However, someone reminded them, “What deep feelings are you talking about? They are implicated by the contract. This guy is really cruel. If he is going to die, so be it, yet he wants to take such a large group of beauties to accompany him in hell.”
Poof!
At that moment, both Eustace’s soul and body perished. Meanwhile, his few maids became pitiful subjects that were buried along with him.
“Who else dares to insult the Rowans?” Ignatius was young, but he flaunted his seniority. At that moment, he suddenly saw a woman rushing down the cliff with another while hugging another woman.
When he saw the two people’s faces clearly, he was shocked…
“Mom!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3106
“Mom..?” Ignatius exclaimed when he saw Daya and Jade.
Daya was carrying Jade on her back at the time, hoping to enter the formation secretly. Yet she was still caught by someone… She initially wanted to speed up and dash in, but that young teen referred to one of them as ‘Mom’.
‘Can you call just anyone that?’
No matter what that meant, Daya was unwilling to be too close to them, so she immediately summoned a bunch of vines.
Whoosh!
Endlessly long vines crept over as if they were anacondas. Yet these were nothing when faced with Ignatius. After sending a large wave of True Fire of Sunburst, those vines instantly lost mobility and turned into ashes. However, the teenager did not harm Daya and Jade in the slightest. Instead, he rushed towards them, appearing right before the two women.
Seeing how lifeless Jade seemed, Ignatius was shocked and heartbroken, immediately asking, “Why is my mom in such a state? What even happened?”
Daya looked at him. “You are…”
“Ignatius, I’m Ignatius Rowan. I used to have her last name, Blaze Benmore.”
Daya immediately remembered the name since Blaze had lived with the Rockefellers for a short period. However, he was just a small child at the time. Unexpectedly, he managed to grow this much in such a short time.
“You’re not a fake, are you?”
“I know Blaze. I even carried him before. He’s much younger than you are.” Daya said.
“Aunt Daya, I really am Blaze. Do you still remember…”
Blaze then described a few interesting incidents when he was still living with the Rockefellers. After that, he pointed at the middle of his eyebrows. “Look, I have this mark here too. It’s unique, no one could ever replace me.”
A fire symbol slowly appeared on his forehead.
Daya finally believed him. “You’re really Blaze. How did you get so big? You’ve become very strong too. It’s like you took some kind of maturing agent. How unbelievable.”
Blaze was speechless. ‘Did she just say I took a maturing agent?!’
“My mom…”
“It’s alright. Your mom should be fine. I fed her a Nine Spun Golden Life Saving Pill just now. Your uncle Alex was the one who invented this great pill. So as long as she has one breath left, she will be able to survive.”
Blaze was relieved upon hearing this. “Who hurt her?”
Daya replied. “Eustace Underwood! But this man is very powerful. He is the seed of Yukon. So don’t try to force your way through. Not even your uncle Alex is a match for him…”
Blaze said, “I already killed him.”
“You..? Killed him?” Daya froze up.
She hadn’t even left for long, yet the man died just like that. Looking back on her tracks, there were, in fact, a lot of corpses lying around, but they were basically all women.
“That pile of ash is him.” Blaze pointed to a pile of gray dust, seemingly resentful.
If he knew that it was Eustace who hurt his mother this badly, he definitely wouldn’t have let him die so swiftly. At the same time, the other seeds had heard their conversation. Everyone was utterly shocked.
Nikolai said, “Didn’t you say you were Emperor Rowan’s eldest son? Why are you calling this woman your ‘Mom’ then? She looks so young, she’s definitely no older than seventy.”
If this was said in school, it would’ve been treated as a joke. Yet, in this situation, no one found the comment odd at all. To these people, seventy really was way too young.
All the seeds here were over three thousand years old, after all. For example, Nikolai was over five thousand years old.
In comparison, Jade’s age was even… Younger than three years old in human age. Grand Emperor Rowan, on the other hand, has existed since ancient times, which was more than ten thousand years ago.
Blaze took a glance at Nikolai. “Why do you care?”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3107
Nikolai scoffed. “I don’t care who your mother is, but that girl in that building is considered your sister, right? She is currently inserting all the spiritual energy from every sanctuary into that guy! That’s just crossing the line! Since you’re the eldest son of Grand Emperor Rowan, shouldn’t you do something about it?”
Blaze glanced at the building. “What do you expect me to do?”
Nikolai said, “Return all that spiritual energy.”
Blaze huffed coldly. “If you have what it takes, get it yourself!”
“Fine then! So you’re saying that you won’t get involved, huh?” Nikolai then gestured to the other seeds. “Everyone, channel all your energy and bust this boundary open, quickly!”
Just then, a chilling voice appeared above them. “Who dares to touch it shall die!”
‘Uh…’ All the seeds looked above them.
Just moments ago, everyone thought that the woman above them was Blaze’s maid. However, that was likely not the case, as she didn’t sound or act like that.
Someone questioned her. “Who are you? How dare you play tricks when Rowan here agreed to let us do whatever we want?”
“Ahem…” Blaze cleared his throat. “Who said I did? I said you need to have what it takes. And that means if you have What it takes to beat me. Only then would you all be able to break the boundary open.”
At the same time, Daya looked towards the fire phoenix in the sky. The voice sound ed rather familiar to her.
Yet the phoenix was just too big and bright. She couldn’t get a good look at who it was… However, she remembered that Dorothy had once appeared on top of a fire phoenix in front of the Rockefeller manor. She might have returned.
‘Or… It could be Xienna too.’ She sighed softly to herself.
‘If it really were Dorothy, she would’ve come down long ago. Why would she sit on that phoenix as if this was a road trip for her?’
‘I really wonder what happened to Dorothy’s soul. I’m worried.’
Someone suddenly spoke up. “Why are we still talking to them? The Stoermer Sect is gone, and so are the Rowans! These people are just lucky enough to survive. They’re a bunch of weaklings who can’t even protect themselves even if the situation calls for it!”
After all, Nikolai was an old, powerful master, and the others had their unique strengths. They were all prodigies of their era.
“That’s right. Looking at this Blaze kid, he must’ve been reincarnated, and he only has the True Fire of Sunburst. It’s not like we can’t handle him.”
“Alright, let’s work together, guys. Kill whoever gets in our way.”
“After that, we can all share the spiritual energy equally!”
“Attack!”
A war against the two parties started instantly as if they were a spark that encountered gasoline.
Blaze’s cold eyes looked like lightning, and his mouth spat a fire dragon. The dragon looked like it was real, baring its fangs and claws. Its fire was as bright as the sun.
One of the seeds immediately brought out their mystical tool, an ancient divine book.
Ring!
The book produced a melody that created an enormous gravitational force that sucked the fire dragon up. Just then, the phoenix let out a loud cry. The woman was finally taking matters into her own hands. She sent a large palm downwards.
Nikolai cackled. “Interesting. Leave this woman to me! “He summoned a spear into his hands and stomped on the ground, leaping into the air.”
Clang!
The spear collided with the palm, causing an explosion of energy.
Nikolai was stunned, and be nearly fell to the ground from the impact. However, he was able to take a closer look at the woman. He laughed with joy when he saw her ethereal beauty.
“Amazing! You’re feisty and beautiful. I have my eyes on you, woman! Be my partner!”
Daya could identify the person as well. The woman riding that fire phoenix was indeed Dorothy!
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3108
Nikolai, an old master, was staring straight at the top of the phoenix, his eyes fixated on Dorothy’s face. He actually felt like he was falling in love.
‘Such beauty. Such elegance! This woman, this fairy… If I can’t marry her, I’d have wasted my life!’
Nikolai somehow felt a wave of competitiveness within his heart. He wanted to make her submit to him, this woman who was definitely better than Phoenix Rowan. She even seemed more interesting than her.
Just then, another woman’s voice came from above the phoenix. “Stop this nonsense! Who do you think you are? How dare you try and violate my clan master?”
A rather young woman jumped down from the phoenix.
Within Yukon, a little girl noticed the woman in the air and shouted. “Look! That’s my Mama! Mama, Mama, Mama…”
That woman was, in fact, Zella.
All eight women used to train formations on the unknown island in Oregon, but Dorothy had brought them away. Not a lot of time had passed since then, yet Zella was far stronger than she used to be. Her improvement was even quicker than Alex at this point.
At the same time, another seven women rushed out as well. They surrounded Nikolai with a special formation. Their cultivation levels had improved greatly.
“Hehe, so you all serve my fiance? This is wonderful, this is a ‘marry one, get eight free’ deal! All of you look bubbly… Good enough to be sex slaves.”
“I don’t mind more people, so all of you will be able to get some of me.” Nikolai laughed out loud, looking Zella and the others up and down.
“Go look for a pig instead, you bastard!” Suzaku said.
Eight Desolated Killing Formation was then formed, circling Nikolai.
However, Nikolai didn’t seem afraid at all. He was a famous figure during ancient times after all, and he naturally had his pride and unique set of skills. He was able to determine all eight women’s cultivation levels, knowing that they were too weak compared to them.
“What harsh words, I must teach your little mouth a little lesson then!” Nikolai stared at Suzaku and said dismissively, then attacked slowly.
He was stronger and more skillful than Eustace. Many wouldn’t know that the Warren’s Heavenly Palace had put a lot of effort in training Nikolai. All this was just so they could steal spiritual energy from Eustace.
Yet now… Eustace had died a little too suddenly.
Whoosh!
Nikolai turned into a phantom, shuffling in the middle of those women. However, he soon realized how powerful the formation was. Being trapped in here meant that he had to face attacks from all eight women, without a second to even catch his breath. There weren’t any flaws in this formation either. Most importantly, their power didn’t come from their cultivation but from the formation itself, which could draw out law power from nature.
That just made this much harder to deal with.
“Thousand Snowy Blades! Attack!”
“Royal Moonlight Force! Attack!”
“Prime Femininity Force! Attack! ”
There was a leader within the Eight Desolated Killing Formation, Suzaku. She stared at Nikolai, leading the formation and yelling out orders. As the battle formation moved, the laws of nature started moving along as well. Every attack was extremely troublesome for Nikolai.
He wanted to move closer to Suzaku, but he always missed her somehow. He even faced more dangers by doing so.
However, he possessed several mystical tools. Hence, even if the attacks did land on him, they wouldn’t wound him that badly.
Meanwhile, Blaze was fighting the other seeds. Many didn’t dare to face his flames, as it was a deadly weapon.
Just now, the seed from Paektu Mountain had their natal magical treasure burned to ashes by those very flames. Their hands were burnt as well.
Such fire contained some flame poison, which could go down one’s veins and burn the insides of one’s body. It was just too strong.
“Everyone, try harder!”
“This guy only has his flames, nothing else!”
“Divine Heir of the Great Star, use your divine book to control his flames. We’ll be able to kill him easily that way.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3109
The seeds were working together as a team in this battle. Moreover, they had various mystical tools, each powerful on their own. Some were even ultra divine artifacts.
Blaze was faced with a hard time due to these tools. Within minutes, he was now the defender instead of the attacker. He had put himself in grave danger.
“Attack!”
A seed from Lao Mountain saw the opportunity and tried to kill Blaze with his sword.
Suddenly, a sword came flying out from the void, killing the person in one slash. It was the Immortal-slaying Sword.
Splat!
Blood splattered all over the place. Behind the sword, a human figure emerged. It was the Little Divine Phoenix, Phoenix Rowan. She was currently holding the Immortal-slaying Sword, filled with malicious intent.
Looking at the seeds in front of her, she spoke in a frosty tone. “We Rowans have sacrificed ourselves for the universe, yet we were repaid with your extreme greed! The Stoermer Sect had strived for peace, sacrificing themselves to save mankind…”
“But if this is what we get for helping, then I don’t mind killing every single one of you so-called seeds and destroying every clan that has supported you!”
The color drained from all the seeds’ faces.
Someone jumped out. “Why would we be scared of you? You’re lending the power of the Immortal-slaying Sword! How dare a mere spirit act all high and mighty in front of us?”
“Get her, Thousand Soul Snatcher!” he said as he brought out a black ghost cloth, flinging it towards Phoenix. It was a tool used to trap spirits.
Phoenix huffed coldly, swinging her sword once more, stabbing the man’s chest. However, she wasn’t able to kill him with that.
The man cackled. “I knew it. Your powers are the same as ours! You were lucky even to kill one of us. It would be wishful thinking if you were hoping to kill us all.”
“Everyone! Let’s defeat her together!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle raged on.
Looking resolute, Phoenix’s voice was as cold as ice. “You forced me to do this.”
Ring… Ring… Ring…!
Three loud rings then came from the sky.
Following that were three rays of light flying over from the void. The three other swords from the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation were the Immortal-piercing sword, the Immortal-defying Sword, and the Immortal-trapping Sword.
Along with the Immortal-slaying sword, they formed that very formation.
Someone screamed. “You… You summoned the entire Immortal-slaying Sword Formation from outer space? Do you not care about those outsiders anymore?”
Phoenix said, “So what? Am I responsible for that? If my protection makes you people arrogant, then I’d rather send you down to hell with my own hands.”
“Die!”
At that very moment, the Little Divine Phoenix became the Grim Reaper.
A seed yelled. “Stop Little Divine Phoenix! We, seeds, are the main forces to defeat the Undead clan. You can’t kill us.”
Phoenix was cold. “And what does that have to do with me?”
The person continued shouting, “That’s because you Rowans have vouched to protect the universe for generations.”
“That vouch has been replaced now. We now vouch to kill whoever tries to harm our family, along with their entire bloodline. So die, you pieces of trash!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3110
“Ah, run! Run now!”
“The sword formation is just too strong! Little Divine Phoenix, you’re playing with fire here! You will regret this… Ah, I refuse to accept this!”
“I don’t want to die! Have mercy, Little Divine Phoenix! I apologize! I’m willing to submit to you!”
As the formation was activated, all the seeds started panicking. Many even cried for mercy. Who would want to die when they had options?
“Too late! You only have one life, and you only had one chance since the beginning! Trash like you don’t deserve to be turned into pigs. It’s best you just demolish your bodies and souls!”
This formation was a killing machine that could even kill deity-master tier beings. The seeds were nowhere near that. Moreover, the seeds varied in power. There weren’t many ancient masters like Nikolai. They were considered the stronger ones, especially having trained for three thousand years.
However, some of these seeds weren’t even qualified as his sidekick. They were instantly turned into dust when facing the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation.
There were still some odd ones. There were four extremely powerful seeds within the group. One of those was a woman who was even stronger than Nikolai. She had a Taichi Diagram in her hands, which was nearly just as strong as the Immortal-slaying sword.
The woman sent out a Yin Yang Fish Pattern, covering her body using the diagram. Since the swords couldn’t get past her Yin Yang fishes, she could make a swift escape.
The other three used their own tools to escape as well. It was only natural, after all. Every seed was a prodigy, trained by a clan or sect. In order to earn the spiritual energy three thousand years later, these clans had also prepared several survival mystical tools even if it cost a lot. They would even resort to stealing if they couldn’t provide any.
Simultaneously, multiple powerful beings were waiting at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere. Back then, they would be blocked out and could only watch the surface from up there. With their amazing eyesight, they could see everything that happened in Yukon. Hence, they were quite jealous when they saw Alex receiving large amounts of Chi and spiritual energy.
It was right in front of their eyes, yet they couldn’t obtain any of it. Yet, they sensed that the ancient boundary had become weaker.
Just then, an old man sent out orders while playing chess in his airship. He asked for someone to try heading into the boundary. None of his subordinates dared to defy him. They didn’t even seem to mind, knowing that they’d get killed by the boundary.
Despite this, nothing happened to a higher divinity master when they stepped in. Instead, they were able to enter the Earth’s atmosphere with ease.
“I’m fine, Elder!”
“The boundary that those Stoermer ba*tards set has disappeared!”
“Haha, let’s rush in then! What are we waiting for?”
In an instant, these beings who had been waiting for months immediately rushed into the Wastelands, causing quite a commotion.
Every country and organization had been closely observing those outsiders. Hence, they were able to immediately notice that they were breaking through the boundary at great speed, rushing into the Earth’s atmosphere…
Many flew down as if they were birds. The old, large demons were now even scarier up close.
The internet was exploding with posts and comments.
[What happened? Why are all those outsiders coming in?]
[Wasn’t there a boundary? Did it disappear?]
[We’re doomed. Earth is in danger.]
Everyone immediately ran out of their houses. They could see those outsiders entering from every corner of the sky. It looked like an alien invasion from a movie… They finally understood how it really felt to be in those movies. People then realized that these outsiders were heading straight towards Yukon. The area was going to be abnormally lively.

Pshh!
A deep cut was sliced into Nikolai’s arm. It was Dorothy’s doing, having joined the Eight Desolated Killing Formation as well. With her, the formation’s power was further increased by one fold.
