The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3161

After waving his hand at them, Alex immediately retreated with Frostine. They quickly disappeared into a white mist.

“D*mn! Everyone, come over and blast this force field! I’m going to tear that guy to shreds!” shouted Julius.

The group of people exerted tremendous force and wildly bombarded that layer of transparent ripples on the force field. Unfortunately, they failed to blow it up no matter how they tried. Instead, the spell formation underwent a change because of this series of actions. The world trembled and the laws flowed, making many feel faint and light-headed.

“This is the Five Element Formation that reverses Yin and Yang!”

“Guys, stop attacking! You will only harm your allies if you keep attacking!” Someone shouted. It was the man from the Lunula Sect who was most knowledgeable about spell formations.

Helpless, the crowd could only stop.

Julius stomped his foot in rage. Not only did he fail to kill Alex, but he even lost that purple divine sword containing the lightning element.

***

On the other hand, Alex took Frostine and stopped at an immortal mountain.

“Senior, why did you come here?”

However, Frostine threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. She did not even want that purple lightning sword she had just acquired. She casually threw it on the ground as she said, “Junior, I miss you s0 much…”

“Uh… I miss you too, Senior!”

“How much?”

Alex was stumped. He felt that his senior whom he had gained effortlessly became slightly different now, she knew how to act like a spoiled child. Alex remembered the heart-wrenching pain at the moment when he witnessed her death. His eyes were immediately filled with tenderness as he said, “I miss you so much I can’t breathe.”

Frostine pinched his nose. “Hmph. You only deceive women with honeyed words.”

After a pause, she continued, “But I love hearing them. Say a little more.”

Alex was tongue-tied. Eventually, he asked, “Senior, how many tails do you have now?”

Frostine blushed. “Do you want to touch them?”

Alex shook his head. “I’m afraid that you will whip me with your tails again.”

Her tails were comparable to flying swords. If it weren’t for his sturdy body, the whipping would have split him into halves last time.

At that moment, three snow-white tails were erected slowly behind Frostine’s buttocks and swayed gently.

“Three tails!”

“Amazing. Each tail refers to one supernatural power. You have three kinds of supernatural powers now. You’ve literally become a three-tailed vixen.”

Frostine cackled as she said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will bewitch you?”

Alex said with a smile, “I’m afraid. I’m almost bewitched by you right now.”

Frostine smiled lightly and let go of Alex. She then said, “The ancient force field has loosened up. The great world of America no longer remains distant from the Wasteland. It was full of dangers to cross the Endless Sea previously, but now, one can fly through space and walk from above! Not only am I here this time, but the old sect master is here too!”

Alex knew that she was talking about Serene Coufal.

Frostine said, “The old sect master and the people from Pompeii Fairyland are old friends. There is also Pompeii Fairyland over the great world of America, but it was established later. In fact, after the people from Pompeii Fairyland left the Wasteland, they rebuilt the sect in the great world, but this place is their root. Unfortunately… Pompeii Fairyland in the great world has long since fallen, and the sect’s disciples are scattered everywhere, but the old sect master always remembers her good friend, which is the rumored Crazy Crone. The old sect master hopes she finds Crazy Crone here this time.”

Alex digested the information. Finally, he asked, “Where is the old sect master?”

Frostine shook her head. “We were separated. I don’t even know where she is.”

 

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3162

“I have an idea!”

Alex took Frostine’s hand and directly disappeared in place. When they reappeared, they were already in the sea.

Totally unprepared, Frostine got her clothes wet right away.

“You… Junior, did you do that on purpose? Do you want to be tempted by my wet body?” Frostine, who did not understand why, misunderstood Alex and pouted embarrassedly. She was not really angry, but her white outfit was that kind of ancient feminine dress. After the dress was drenched in seawater, it was slightly transparent. At a glance, it looked more tempting than being naked.

“I… Sorry. Senior, I really didn’t mean it.” Alex apologized while taking a few glances at her body.

“If you didn’t mean it, then you did it deliberately.”

“Am I pretty?”

“Uh… Yes, of course, you are… Pretty!”

“Do you want to touch me?”

“Huh..?”

‘Oh my! She has changed. Senior has changed. She has become more coquettish.’

Just then, Lena quickly appeared behind them.

Frostine was shocked. She immediately took an offensive stance and roared, “Who on earth are you? Holy sh*t! It’s a pretty fish demon. Are you a mermaid?”

Alex hurriedly held her hand. “Senior, don’t misunderstand. She’s an ally.”

“An ally? Is she your pet?”

Alex was helpless. “She is not.”

“Oh! She’s your friend then! Alright. Your friend is also my friend. Mermaid, we will become friends in the future. By the way, you are really the prettiest mermaid I’ve ever seen…”

Lena did not refute him and smiled instead. “Nice to meet you. I’m Lena Rivers, a half-Naga.”

Frostine screamed, “Oh gosh! You’re a Naga from the royal tribe in the sea!”

At that moment, Cecilia also came over. Looking at her, Frostine blinked at Alex. “Junior, is she your woman?”

Alex smacked his forehead. “She is not my woman, but Lena is…”

“Oh my God!”

Frostine exclaimed. She then secretly pulled Alex’s hand and whispered, “Junior, she is a fish. A Naga is considered a fish, right? Could you even get laid with a fish?”

Alex corrected her. “A Naga is not a fish.”

Frostine said, “I’m not blind. She has such a large fishtail, so how is she not a fish? More importantly, she only has a tail, but she doesn’t have those parts. Uh, how did you do it with her? With your mouth?”

Alex fell silent. He was totally speechless.

“Senior, what have you experienced during the period of my departure? Why do I feel you look like a completely different person? And you sound… So suggestive…”

Frostine lifted a tail with a swish. It was a spotless white tail at first, but it turned pink suddenly.

Alex said, “This is…”

Frostine asked, “Do you know what supernatural power behind this awakened tail is?”

Alex asked, “Salaciousness?”

“No!”

“Coquettishness?”

“Screw you!”

“What is that then?”

“It’s a charm!”

Alex smacked his head. “Senior, you really look charming right now.”

‘You lost me there.’

When Lena saw Frostine’s tail, she swam over and smiled as she said, “Hubby, so this senior of yours is a vixen.”

It was a counterattack. A blatant counterattack.

‘If you say I’m a fish, I’ll say you’re a vixen, and no one will take advantage of the situation,’ thought Lena with a smile.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3163

Frostine said, “I am not a vixen.”

Lena asked, “You have such a large tail, yet you aren’t a vixen?”

Lena returned the favor!

Frostine said, “I just possess the Nine-Tails bloodline. Besides, a Nine Tails is not a vixen. You mustn’t lump these two together.”

“Why is the Nine-Tails not a vixen? The nine-tailed fox is famous for its name. Of course, it is a vixen!”

The two women had the intention for tit for tat.

Alex hurriedly mediated the situation. He then changed the subject, saying that he wanted to find the former sect leader of the Plenilune Sect, Serene Coufal. Then, he turned the spell formation‘s miniature hologram and searched one by one.

He instantly felt something was off. To his surprise, Serene was not in the large formation of Pompeii Fairyland.

“She isn’t there. Then, where has she gone?”

Alex searched around carefully several times and confirmed no sign of Serene.

It was then that Lena said, “Hubby if the person you’re looking for really knows Pompeii Fairyland like the back of her hand, she might have passed through the large formation and entered the core area inside Pompeii Fairyland. Therefore, you can’ t find her in the large formation.”

Alex nodded. He then said, “Speaking of Crazy Crone, I have to thank her. If Crazy Crone hadn’t carried me through the void back in the Undead Territory, I would’ve died in the hands of the Undying Clan by now. Crazy Crone is my savior!”

It was then that Cecilia said, “Alex, hurry and look. Those people have begun refining divine swords.”

‘Huh?’

Alex looked at them. It was indeed the case.

When Julius and the others discovered that the spell formation was unbreakable and trapped inside, they immediately thought of various ways to get out. Every sword flying out of the sword grave was a peerless sword. If they could refine them in a short time, their lethal power would become much greater.

However, Alex disagreed!

It would be too late to regret it if the Godslayer was refined.

He quickly began to modify the spell formation. He adjusted the spell formation where Julius was in. The next second, that area was filled with randomly flashing lightning.

They could not refine the swords properly.

Alex did not stop there. Instead, he lashed more hand seals out to improve the spell formation further. He was compressing the available space over that immortal mountain. The smaller the space was, the more crowded the people were.

“No. It can’t go on like this.”

“The spell formation will crush us to death.”

“I want to go out. I don’t want to die here.”

Many Divine Heirs and goddesses spoke their minds. Even Julius from the Lunula Sect was a little flustered. He repeatedly asked his fellow sect members if they could break the spell formation and leave this place. However, the answer was negative.

At that moment, Alex came again. “You want to go out badly, don’t you? You don’t want to die here, do you? Very well. I’ll give you guys a chance. Hand over all the swords you’ve acquired from the sword grave… One sword in exchange for one person.”

After a pause, he continued, “You guys only have five minutes. When the time is up, the spell formation will become a powerful murder weapon and kill all of you here.”

Julius roared angrily, “Don’t believe his swords. He’s stirring things up and wants us to kill each other.”

Alex’s voice carried over. “Since when did I want you to kill each other? Young Lord, aren’t you being cynical? In fact, there is a good way. Young Lord, you will contribute all the divine swords you’ve obtained and share one sword with each person. Won’t the problem be solved?”

Julius cursed loudly, “Bullsh*t! Keep on dreaming. These are mine. No one shall think of getting them.”

Alex said in a leisurely voice, “Five minutes will be up soon!”

The spell formation was still shrinking. Finally, someone impatient could no longer bear it. He stated that he was willing to hand over the divine sword in exchange for his freedom.

This was Divine Heir from an unknown world in the universe.

“Very well! Take ten steps to the right and throw the sword in your hand a meter away. Then, you will be free.”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3164

That man was hesitant for a moment at first. Eventually, he took ten steps to the right in accordance with Alex’s request. He then threw the sword in his hand forward over a distance of one meter.

Clank!

A light sound rang out. That sword was thrown on the ground.

Everyone’s gaze fell on that sword. They wanted to find out how Alex would take that sword away. To their surprise, that long black sword suddenly disappeared on the spot. It just disappeared without a trace under everyone’s gaze.

“How is that possible?”

“How did the sword disappear?”

“I didn’t see that guy, nor the flow of Chi. It seemed to have disappeared into thin air from its original space and gone to another space.”

The Divine Heirs and goddesses couldn’t figure out the details behind it.

At that moment, the man who had handed in the weapon looked around and said, “I’ve given you the sword. What about me? When are you going to set me free?”

Alex’s faint voice carried over. “Haven’t you gained freedom already?”

“What? You… You tricked me?” That man was furious.

“Is that necessary?” Alex said, “To be frank, the people on Earth are now tensed up because of you foreigners. Some of you even killed the innocent indiscriminately and started massacring a city at the drop of a hat. You don’t regard the locals here as human beings at all. I really wanted to kill every last one of you at first… However, I’ve always been kind. After all, not everyone could do something like massacring a city. Hence, I’m willing to give you a chance. Keep moving forward, and you will walk out of Pompeii Fairyland… But I’ll give you a piece of advice here. If you keep killing the innocent indiscriminately on Earth, I’ll definitely find you and kill you!”

It was a mountain in front of that man. How could there be a path?

“How am I supposed to leave?”

“You have to believe me and keep moving forward. If you don’t believe me, you’ll only have yourself to blame. You only have three minutes. Once the time is up, you’ll have to hand over another sword you’ve acquired from the sword grave.”

That man rolled his eyes.

‘D*mn. Why don’t you rob someone else?’

It had long been rumored that this guy had scammed at least three thousand Divine Heirs and goddesses below the Incarnate Deity realm back in the Underworld. Judging from the current situation, all of it was well-founded.

‘This bast*rd was a habitual scammer!’

However, he wanted to give it a try. Hence, he took two steps forward even if he felt no path ahead. To his surprise, he stepped into a stone wall with one foot.

‘An illusion? The mountain and the stone wall are non-existent, aren’t they?’

Upon discovery, the man kept moving forward and quickly entered the mountain.

Julius, the other Divine Heirs, and goddesses could clearly witness the scene.

“You only have three minutes. Only two and a half minutes are left…” Alex‘s voice was heard again.

That man had been staying on Earth for a few days. During the period, some Earth-ranked cultivators even passed much information about the Wasteland to his people. Hence, although he came from the universe and was not used to expressing time in minutes and seconds, he already knew how short two and a half minutes were.

He immediately unleashed his body technique and dashed forward.

Under everyone’s gaze, that man kept moving forward. He then rushed over the mountain and entered the sky above the sea. Finally, he left Pompeii and flew away… Sure enough, he had gained freedom.

“Is there anyone else? You guys don’t have much time!” reminded Alex.

Someone immediately came forward and threw out a divine sword.

Alex told him to run forward and leave Pompeii, just like the previous guy. After that, a third guy came forward. The third guy also threw out a sword.

Just then, Julius suddenly dashed to the area in front of that man. He thought, ‘The passage is right here. I’ll just go in. Why do I have to give you the divine swords I’ve obtained? Keep on dreaming!’

As a result…

Bang!

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3165

A loud bang rang out.

Julius crashed into the mountain, forming a large human-shaped crater. Meanwhile, a huge bump showed up on his forehead.

“Argh!”

“That mountain isn’t an illusion?”

The group of Divine Heirs and goddesses were stunned. What was going on?

The previous two guys clearly could pass through it!

Alex’s voice was heard. “Young lord, you’re a leading figure who commands respect, but why are you trying to leave this place without buying a ticket? Can you have some sense of shame? You already look a little ugly. If you are that shameless, you will look really grotesque.”

Julius almost vomited blood in rage. He even abruptly shattered two of his teeth.

Clank!

He threw out a sword. “That should do it, right?”

It was equivalent to having conceded defeat. The sword that was thrown on the ground quickly disappeared.

However, Alex said, “God said one should be polite and mustn’t jump the queue halfway, first come, first served. Hence, the sword you’ve just thrown out was void. It’s an invalid operation.”

A few women standing around Alex could not help laughing. Frostine’s beautiful eyes flickered all of a sudden.

‘My junior is really mischievous, but… I like him so much. I have to love him dearly.’

Julius scolded, “You go back on your word. This isn’t a gentleman’s behavior.”

Alex replied, “How dare you scold me? You’ve violated the rule, so I’ll issue a yellow card to you as a warning. The others can leave after banding in one sword, whereas you have to hand in two swords.”

After that, he let the previous guy walk forward.

An amazing scene appeared. The third guy passed through the mountain and left Pompeii.

The Divine Heirs and goddesses rubbed their eyes one after another.

Why did that look so magical?

Then, a few people left successfully. Meanwhile, the space in the spell formation kept shrinking. The space became increasingly crowded. It was as large as an island at first, but now, it had become as big as a basketball court.

Julius conceded defeat once again. He neither jumped the queue nor scolded Alex this time, and he threw out two swords. “Can I leave already?”

Alex fell silent.

The others only had one sword, and some were even swordless, but this guy had obtained dozens of swords. Hence, Alex certainly could not let him leave.

Even so…

“Fine! You can leave too!”

Whoosh!

Julius rushed out… Just as he was halfway through the mountain, he instantly burst into laughter and said to Alex, “Brat, you’re sowing the seeds of calamity with endless trouble in the future! I thank you for letting me out. In order to repay you, I will kill you and then your entire family. Just you wait. I’ll come after you soon.”

“How dare you threaten me? Red card!”

Alex’s voice sounded indifferent and ruthless.

At that moment, Julius, who had rushed out of the mountain, suddenly discovered that the scene ahead somehow looked familiar… Wasn’t that the sword grave that he had just rushed out of? A group of people was still standing around.

D*mn… It was that group of Divine Heirs and goddesses.

To his surprise, he came back again.

“Ah! Young lord, why are you back again? Are you here to save us? I told you so. The young lord won’t abandon us while carrying all the divine swords,” said a member of Lunula Sect.

“I…”

He wanted to kill that guy, but he was actually speechless.

Those with a divine sword in their hand left one by one. The remaining ones were swordless people and that group of people from the Lunula Sect.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3167

His smile was rather twisted.

Even though the canvas was protecting him, he was still injured. Blood was dripping out of every corner of his face too. His eyes were like that of a cobra, glaring at Alex with malicious intent “Do you really think I’d die that easily? I am the young lord of the Lunula sect! I have many skills and mystical treasures. A mere native like you could only dream of killing me!”

“Really now? I really wouldn’t believe that, to be honest!”

Alex then summoned a ball of flames, along with a lotus flower base inside. The fire was quite unusual, as it was the Great Flame Spell.

Whoosh…

The flames were thrown into the boundary, landing on Julius, burning his entire body.

Julius yelled. “Hold it, my Shura Diagram!”

The large canvas on him now glowed even brighter, with several faint phantoms of Shuras. These phantoms appeared within the flames and set up a protective barrier, shielding Julius.

“Argh!!! I will never die!”

“Your sh*tty native flames have nothing on me! You’d be too naive if you think you’d be able to kill me with those!” Julius cackled.

Saying nothing, Alex continued to form more hand symbols.

Within his body was a bright red lotus flower. It spat out an odd pattern while quivering gently. Those patterns then followed his hand symbols and went straight into the flames around Julius.

‘What is that?’ Alex himself was confused. ‘The lotus flower could spit out such a pattern?’

However, as the pattern appeared, he could sense a burning hot fire elemental law power. This law power was even higher ranked than any law power he had encountered in the past. It was as if this law power didn’t belong to this universe.

‘Looks like the three thousand lotus flowers aren’t as simple as I thought. I can still look into its hidden potentials.’

Just as Alex was thinking about that, he heard Julius cursing like a madman. The Great Flame Spell was drastically stronger when the mysterious pattern was added. The Shura Diagram on Julius couldn’t continue shielding any longer either.

The Shura phantoms that appeared earlier were shrieking within the fire. They couldn’t even save themselves, let alone protect Julius.

“Ahh!”

Julius’ hair caught on fire. The flames then spread towards his face, burning off his skin. He used several ways to defend himself from the flames but he was currently restricted by the formation, hence there was no space for him to dodge. He was merely forced to endure the flames at this point.

‘This… This is just too humiliating!’

Although Julius had a divine body, he still wouldn’t be able to endure such torture. It was a horrible sight to behold with his face now completely burned. He yelled. “If you have the strength, then fight me like a true man! Else I would still look down on you, even after my death! You merely borrowed outside help, so you didn’t defeat me using your own skills.”

Alex seemed delighted to. “Alright, as you wish!”

He then expanded the space within the formation back to its original size.

“My love, don’t do anything rash!”

“Brother, don’t go in there!”

Lena and Frostine immediately shouted at him.

Alex smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s a good opportunity anyway. I’d like to know how strong I am now.”

Whoosh!

Alex entered the boundary with his actual body, whereas Julius was rapidly healing his wounds. Within seconds, his burnt skin had completely recovered, restoring his face.

“Die!” Julius was already so angry that he needed an outlet. After a roar, he lunged towards Alex.

Alex’s eyes glistened. ‘As expected, this guy is very strong!’

Despite this, he wasn’t scared one bit. All the lotus flowers in his body were starting to flutter while limitless law power wrapped itself around him. He then faced Julius with a harsh punch.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3166

Just then, Alex appeared in front of everyone again.

Next to him was a pile of divine swords. These swords had all come from the tomb of swords, then handed to him by these people. Alex checked every single one of them. To his demise, none were the Godslayer.

Although he had never seen what the God slayer looked like, he could tell how powerful the swords were. Although the swords in front of him were considered pretty good, they were still less valuable in comparison. They weren’t even close to being Supreme Chi weapons, let alone his Dao killing sword.

‘Does that mean it’s with Julius Jackson?’

Alex had no idea, which was why he needed to check all of them.

“Whoever didn’t manage to get their hands on a sword, you all may leave now.”

When Alex said this, those people were absolutely stunned.

Someone questioned. “Are you really going to let us go?”

Alex huffed. “Do you expect to have you all stay for dinner? Look at you. You all are the Divine Heirs of this universe. Why can’t any of you get a mere sword when everyone else could?”

“Yet despite how weak you all are, you still dare to come to the Wastelands. Are you looking for a death wish, huh? Go, leave now. I’m getting second-hand embarrassment from this.”

All of them looked as if they had been forced to eat feces.

‘How could he look down on us? This is… so frustrating!’

However, Alex did let them go as promised. In the end, all that was left were the people from the Lunula sect.

Julius and the others knew well that they were being targeted.

“What do you want?” One of the disciples of the Lunula sect asked.

“Simple, I want all the swords within the tomb!” Alex was very straightforward.

“Dream on!” Julius rejected that request immediately.

“You will have to agree to do so.” Alex smiled as he sent out a few hand symbols.

This place was already shrunk to half the size of a basketball court. The walls of the space continued to close in, which ended up squeezing them against each other.

They then started attacking the walls of the boundary, but it was all for naught. The space was just too small. They couldn’t even dodge any attacks that bounced back.

That formation master from the Lunula sect asked hurriedly. “Young Lord, the formation in this Pompeii Fairyland is very powerful. It’s used to deal with the Undead. Even if a divine empress were here, they wouldn’t be able to do anything either. All we can do now is give up our divine swords.”

Julius was frustrated, as he was doing free labor in the end. Moreover, it was bad enough that he had to beg this person in a polite tone as well. He simply couldn’t get past his pride, unable to let down his ego.

However…

In this life or death situation, he could only compromise for the time being and threw all the swords to the ground.

“Alex, we’ve handed you all the swords within the tomb. Can you let us go now?” One of them asked.

Alex glanced at the swords that were just thrown out, only to be met with disappointment again. The Godslayer was definitely not amongst them.

Turning back to these people, he said, “Do you remember that I gave your young lord a red card? Do you know what it means? It means that you’re out!”

Julius was furious. “What the f*ck do you mean by that?”

Alex smiled softly. “That means you will still have to die even after handing me the swords. Do you really think I’m that foolish as to let you go and give you all the chance to come back and kill me later?”

“You… Bastard!”

Alex didn’t seem to care, putting his hand symbols together and yelling. “Shut!”

The boundary was shut entirely.

Pfft!

The disciples of the Lunula sect couldn’t resist that pressuring force, vomiting blood in an instant. In the end, they were crushed, causing their blood and flesh to splatter all over the floor.

However, Julius’ body was glowing in golden light. There was a large piece of canvas wrapped over him. Obviously, this canvas was no ordinary item, a very powerful mystical treasure. It could even resist the closing of the formation.

“Haha! Hehe…” Julius chuckled.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3167

His smile was rather twisted.

Even though the canvas was protecting him, he was still injured. Blood was dripping out of every corner of his face too. His eyes were like that of a cobra, glaring at Alex with malicious intent “Do you really think I’d die that easily? I am the young lord of the Lunula sect! I have many skills and mystical treasures. A mere native like you could only dream of killing me!”

“Really now? I really wouldn’t believe that, to be honest!”

“Argh!!! I will never die!”

“Your sh*tty native flames have nothing on me! You’d be too naive if you think you’d be able to kill me with those!” Julius cackled.

Alex’s eyes glistened. ‘As expected, this guy is very strong!’

Despite this, he wasn’t scared one bit. All the lotus flowers in his body were starting to flutter while limitless law power wrapped itself around him. He then faced Julius with a harsh punch.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3168

Woo…

Behind Julius appeared a giant roc. His current attack actually formed the true arcana of a giant roc. Yet behind Alex was just a lotus flower fluttering in the air. In comparison, there was a large difference in size between the two.

Alex’s small lotus flower wasn’t even a thousandth the size of the giant roc’s brow… Even though the boundary space had expanded, the truth was that the space wasn’t enough to let the giant roc stretch out completely. Its size was just exceedingly large.

As it came out, it started roaring due to its big body being stuck.

Boom!

Alex’s attack immediately landed on him.

“Ten-point Forbidden Spell, the Great Icebound Spell!”

With this, a very frosty sensation surrounded the two. Alex leaped into the air, using the patterns of the Blue Demonic Lotus to support his attack, making it even stronger. The punch instantly shattered and demolished the giant roc True Arcana, struggling in mid-air. As if that was not enough, Alex then attacked Julius’ body with the remaining strength.

Boom!

The boundary started shaking as dust flew up into the air with a loud explosion, blurring everyone’s vision.

Julius initially thought that he was doomed. Since the formation limited him, he wasn’t able to unleash the Roc True Arcana Punch. According to the flames that Alex had previously sent out that made his Shura Diagram scream in pain, he thought Alex would have beaten him to half death with his next attack.

However, after taking a bit, he realized that that wasn’t the case.

Kzz…

There was freezing ice forming on his body, so cold it made his body numb. He then spat out some blood, but that was only it.

Julius thought. ‘This bastard isn’t as strong as I thought. I thought he had hidden his cultivation level, but it seems that his powers really were just that. The only thing kind of special about his powers is the law power within the elemental ice attack. And this special type of law power was able to break through my Shura Diagram’s defense.’

‘But his actual powers were far weaker compared to me, an Advanced Heavenly Deity.’

However… He remembered that Alex’s greatest strengths lay in his formations. He had been at a disadvantage during this entire fight due to formations. If there wasn’t a formation in the first place, he was confident that he could kill Alex in three seconds. However, he couldn’t let him notice this. If Alex were to start using formations, he would have to defend instead of attacking them.

Pfft!

Julius spat out a mouthful of blood. Half of it was actual blood, while the other half was just him faking it. He put up a shocked expression. “What are these attacks? I’ve never seen any law power like the one you’re yielding.”

The best lies were always ninety percent true, and that was what Julius was doing. He really couldn’t understand the law power in Alex’s attacks.

“Bring out your true power and defeat me. Only then would I tell you!” Alex said. He was eager to know his own limits because he had a feeling that lotus flowers needed a stronger stimulation.

‘These things are odd. They’re filled with fighting spirit.’

In reality, his sudden rise in fighting spirit was mostly from those flowers.

“Fine!” Julius yelled. “You promised a fair fight and that you wouldn’t play any tricks. But now you’re using a formation to limit my true arcana! That’s not what true fighters do. If you really want to see what I can really do, break this formation right now.”

“Sorry, I won’t break the formation. But if you really want to go all out, there’s an easy solution.”

“Domain!” Alex opened up a mental domain surrounding the both of them.

Suddenly, the space became limitless. It would keep a few Giant Roc True Arcanes, let alone one. The mental domain was as big as one’s mind, after all.

Julius wanted to scream. “You f*cker, how could this be fair? You can change the laws in the domain, and yet you pulled me in here to fight!”

Alex said, “Don’t worry, I won’t alter the laws here. We will be having a fair fight.”

“As you wish!”

Boom boom, boom boom!

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3169

The battle had finally started.

Julius was frustrated and annoyed. That was because he wouldn’t be able to kill Alex right away within his target’s own mental domain… Before this happened, he would try to break through the domain. Yet if he tried to do so, he was worried that Alex might jump out of the formation, which meant that everything would go back to square one.

Hence, he had to stall him before he thought of a plan. He didn’t dare to use his ultimate trick

As they fought, Alex suddenly shouted out of nowhere. “Stop!”

Julius asked, “Why? What are you trying to do?”

Alex replied. “I have sudden enlightenment. Wait for me!”

After that, he rushed out of the domain and sat down with his legs crossed. It was as if he was going to learn something.

Julius was stunned. ‘What the f*ck, I’m not your master. Not only do I need to spar with you, I have to leave you to some enlightenment so that you could kill me?’

However, the man was still worried that Alex might use formations again…

‘There’s no way out of this!’

Alex actually knew what exactly Julius was thinking. That’s why he was so relaxed about this fight. Just a while ago, he noticed that the light green lotus flower was shaking, amongst the three thousand lotus flowers growing in him.

Up till now, most of the lotus flowers were still closed, a mere bud. Only a few had bloomed up till now. From the bloomed flowers, Alex found out that a few spells within the Ten-point Forbidden Spell were related to them. The mysterious pattern on top of the lotus flowers could increase the power of certain spells, for example, the Great Icebound Spell, the Great Flame Spell, and the Great Void Spell.

Yet now, this flower was relatively unfamiliar. It was brimming with gold light, but it seemed to be some kind of golden powder upon closer inspection.

‘Is this pollen? From the lotus flowers?’ Alex immediately started pondering while approaching the lotus flower.

Clenching his teeth, he inserted his mind into the flower, basking in the wavering golden pollen. The next thing he felt was a significant impact on his consciousness as if it was going to explode sooner or later.

As expected, it was indeed golden pollen that contained a large amount of power. Alex could clearly feel his mental strength proliferating after he soaked his mind in this pollen. Moreover, a stream of consciousness was blooming in his head. It was yet another odd pattern, which looked rather different this time. It looked like the hybrid of a fish and a bird.

After that, the pattern turned itself into a martial skill, and a giant roc rose into the air.

“Holy sh*t!”

“Isn’t this thing… That Lunula young lord’s skill?”

“Why did it explode from the lotus flower?”

Upon closer inspection, he noticed another difference. The law power within this skill was very similar to the other few in the Ten -point Forbidden Spell.

“Could this be another forbidden spell?”

“The eleventh spell?”

“Then does that mean with the three thousand lotus flowers inside of me, I’d have three thousand spells?”

“What is this spell called?”

At that moment, a name appeared in his head, the Great Roc Spell.

With this, his consciousness returned back into his body. Alex realized that his cultivation level had improved as well.

‘Incredible!’

He rushed back into the domain again, turning to Julius. “We may start now.”

‘You f*ck, is he really treating me as a sparring partner? I’ll definitely make sure you stay down this time!’

“Roc Divine Punch!”

Alex sent out a punch as well. “Eleventh Forbidden Spell, the Great Roc Spell!”

Both sent out a giant roc image at the very same time.

‘What?!’ Julius froze. ‘How does he know the Roc True Arcana too?’

“Hmph! So you were secretly learning my skills, huh? But you’ve underestimated the Roc Divine Punch. How could you possibly defeat me with a faux Roc Punch?!”

Wooo…

Boom!

After a loud explosion, Julius’ Roc Phantasm disappeared, whereas Alex’s was still there.

“Isn’t it obvious which one is the true Roc Phantasm now?” Alex smiled softly, then spat some fresh blood out of his mouth.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3170

Although Alex was able to defeat Julius’ Roc Divine Punch with his Great Roc Spell, he himself ended up vomiting blood as well. This was a natural occurrence, after all. There was a large difference between their cultivation powers. Alex’s powers were unique, and he wasn’t walking the normal path either. Even though he had Golden Cores and Nascent Souls, it was simply different from the usual. With these flowers, even an Immortal Emperor would have to step aside. However, he was still not as strong compared to a Heavenly Deity. He was still rather familiar with his own strengths after all.

If Julius really were to use his ultimate skill, he might end up with a terrible fate. However, he had quite a few tricks up his sleeves himself. He knew that he still had the chance to turn the tables as long as he survived.

It was fortunate the foundation of his Great Roc Spell was stronger than Julius’ Roc Divine Punch.

Julius noticed this as well. His eyes widened. “That’s impossible. Yours is a fake. How could you defeat my Roc True Arcana? How is that possible?”

“Bah!” Alex hacked out a mouthful of dark red blood. “That’s because mine is the true Roc Phantasm, you’re the fake here.”

“Hmph, I refuse to believe you can steal any more skills from me.”

“Kylin True Arcana Punch!”

Julius used another martial skill, summoning a Kylin in front of him. The fist was so powerful that it made the skies change in color, rattling the law power within its radius.

Boom!

Alex didn’t dodge one bit, using the Great Roc Spell to take it head-on.

As the Kylin and Roc collided with each other, both let out an earth-shattering roar.

Alex was sent flying back thousands of meters, crashing onto the ground harshly. His face was drenched in blood, along with both his arms fractured.

He looked horrible.

On the contrary, Julius only had to back up three steps. However, Alex had strong rejuvenation powers. It was simply unheard of, especially when one could visibly see his fractures healing. With a few cracks, his bones fused back together, and he could continue fighting.

“Pretty good recovery speed!” Julius spoke up, his intentions unknown. “But my Kylin True Arcana Punch could only be mastered after sacrificing an actual Kylin. You’d simply be dreaming if you think you can master it just by watching me.”

Alex spat once again. This time even parts of his organs were mixed in his vomit. He then smiled. “That might not always be the case. Stay here and wait again.”

After saying that, he left once more.

Julius just stood there, speechless. He couldn’t possibly believe that Alex could actually master the punch.

The Kylin True Arcana Punch was a much stronger martial skill than the Roc Divine Punch. He even had to use three hundred years to succeed in mastering this, along with capturing five Kylins as a sacrifice. Their captures made all the Kylins in some other world run off. There was none left in that world now.

‘That brat wants to master it just by watching? He wishes!’

However, he had no idea that Alex wasn’t exactly stealing his skills. He was using the Kylin True Arcana Punch to stimulate the three thousand lotus flowers in his body so that a Forbidden Spell could be forced out of them.

Hence, Julius’ skills could only be considered a stimulant.

At the same time, Alex’s consciousness really did see another flower glistening with golden powder. This time, the flower was red, with a few golden threads on its petals. It was different from the previous flower too, as it was bigger. There was a floating bubble within the pollen, which contained a faint phantom of a Kylin.

“What… Is it this time?” Alex was slightly excited.

It was as if the three thousand lotus flowers were a treasure trove, each a mystery box in itself. This meant that anything could be a surprise.

‘This Bubble Kylin is probably… Not ordinary either!’

With past experiences, Alex jumped into the flower stamen without hesitation, basking in the pollen once again. In an instant, he felt the same sensations, with his mental power increasing drastically, as another problem pattern started glowing.

He knew the name of this Forbidden Spell, the Great Kylin Spell. It allowed the person to carry both Kylin’s strengths and destructive powers. Whenever the person attacked, a fire Kylin Phantasm would appear.

This was truly a martial skill made to attack.
