The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3361

“If you can’t walk, just wait for me here.”

“Aren’t you afraid the other monsters here will eat me up? What if the Undead Queen comes after me?”

Alex was puzzled. He had helplessly discovered that she really had the upper hand against him. After that, he carried Phoenix in his arms just like that, whereas Phoenix hugged Whitey. On two feet, the two people and a cat quickly sneaked toward the place where the huge corpse fell just now.

That place seemed so near, yet it was so far away.

Alex could not exert any strength right now, so he had no way to speed up. In addition, this place was bizarre and unfamiliar. After walking for a few hours, they finally approached that place.

During that time, Phoenix had already taken a nap. After waking up in a daze, she asked Alex, “Did you hear a sound?”

Alex replied, “Are you referring to that?”

He fixed his gaze straight ahead.

Phoenix followed his gaze and took a look. She clearly saw the thing ahead at once. It was an enormous city, and a gigantic grinder was constantly rotating in the center of the city.

It was a grinder larger than a mountain!

It was grinding something unknown and emitting a whirring sound.

“Is it a rotating grinder? What is it grinding?”

Phoenix looked shocked as she had never seen such a huge grinder.

Alex said, “Do you still remember that Ignatius Rowan said there’s a place called the Flesh Grinder? After one dies, he has to experience the Flesh Grinder on the path of reincarnation if he wants to retain the memories of his past life.”

Phoenix’s eyes widened. “This is the Flesh Grinder? This place is the path of reincarnation?”

Alex shook his head. “I don’t know either.”

Phoenix frowned as she looked at Alex. “Do you think we are already dead?”

Having said that, Alex pinched her. “Does it hurt? You’re still alive if it hurts!”

She bared her fangs in pain and bit… Alex’s neck.

***

Ten minutes later, Alex entered the city while carrying Phoenix in his arms. A huge city gate lay ahead.

Two large words were written on that towering city gate, Sinless City!

Alex was instantly astonished. “Sinless City? It can’t be, right?… This place is the Sinless City of the Witch Kingdom in antiquity?”

Phoenix had never heard of Sinless City. Hence, she asked Alex what Sinless City was.

Alex recounted the matters about Sinless City and the sacrificial altar of gods of the Witch Kingdom.

Phoenix said, “Be careful. This place exudes oddity. I somehow feel it contains a great secret.”

“Yeah!”

Alex walked into the city. That huge grinder’s sound got louder and rumbled like thunder. As he got closer, the powerful sense of coercion from antiquity became more and more intense. He even felt a powerful heavenly might, as if an energy was passing through his body… However, it did not have an effect.

At that moment, Alex suddenly saw a hint of goldenness.

At a closer look, it turned out to be the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s corpse earlier. However, only a portion of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon remained compared to the one he saw previously. Only the dragon head and a portion of the upper body were left behind, whereas the rest was gone.

The incision was very neat. Furthermore, its size was huge.

Alex guessed that the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s head was left behind most probably because it had struggled desperately before it died, but it still failed to escape the grinder’s suction force. Only a head escaped, whereas the rest of its body entered the grinder.

Alex said, “Jeez! This Five-clawed Golden Dragon just died. The blood on its body is still fresh, isn’t it? We didn’t see any water source along the way. I’m thirty as hell. This dragon blood is drinkable, right?”

Phoenix said, “A Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s blood should be very nourishing.”

Alex immediately decided. “Drink it!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3362

After Alex finished his speech, he took the lead and dipped his hand into a little dragon blood. He then put it into his mouth. It was a little sticky… It was a little sweet…

“What does it taste like?” asked Phoenix.

“It’s pretty good! You should try it!”

He stretched out his finger, which was stained with a bit of dragon blood, and placed it on Phoenix’s lips. Phoenix did not seem to think much about it. She directly opened her small mouth and licked it. Not only was it a little sweet, but energy seemingly surged in the body. It was warm and comfortable. However, this energy disappeared without a trace as soon as it entered the energy core.

“It’s comfortable!”

Phoenix directly sucked Alex’s finger in her mouth, licking the dragon’s blood on it clean.

This action was very eye-catching.

Alex stared intently at her with a different emotion surging inside his heart.

‘Uhm…’

Phoenix finally realized that she seemed to have done something stupid. She hurriedly spat it out and asked, “Which hand did you use to touch my feet just now?”

Previously, she had said her feet were cold and demanded that Alex hold her beautiful feet.

After that…

“It’s this hand!” whispered Alex.

“Argh! Pooh!”

Seeing that Phoenix had broken free of his embrace, jumped down, and ran to the side to vomit, Alex looked at her strangely. ‘Shouldn’t the focal point be on the ambiguity when you licked my finger?’ Yet, she only thought about the smell of her feet. This is probably why she is still single despite living for a few millennia!’

Then, the two people swallowed the dragon’s blood separately.

Logically speaking, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s blood was definitely the top-ranked, most precious resource. After drinking it, it could surely make one’s cultivation go to the next level. However, it was unknown what would happen to their bodies. They still could not feel any Chi, as if they had completely lost their cultivation.

After a full meal, the two people felt their bodies were warm. Alex even carried Whitey over and soaked it in the dragon blood.

“There should be a dragon bead in the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s head!” said Phoenix.

Nonetheless, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s body was too hard. Not only were its scales sturdy, but its head was also tough. They simply could not cut it open with mortal means. Moreover, they could not carry it. They had no choice but to give up.

After that, the two people surrounded the huge grinder and observed this place, only to discover that a huge funnel-shaped pit was located beneath the place where the hole in the sky had just been opened. The two arduously climbed to the top and witnessed a shocking scene.

That super huge pit was filled with densely packed corpses of demon beasts, humans, demon tribes, and various strange races.

These corpses would gradually enter the grinder through the funnel here. Then, they would be ground into a bloody paste, and endless blood would flow along the other opening of the grinder to somewhere unknown. Meanwhile, the piles of the bloody paste would be thrown down in another direction. It was just like grinding bean curds.

“It’s too terrifying! I think that grinder possesses a terrifying suction force. It’s sucking all these corpses in.”

“Look at these corpses. All of them are powerhouses. Even if we use divine artifacts, we might not be able to cut them open. However, we will be ground into a mess in no time after reaching the interior of this grinder. We will die for sure if we fall into it!”

Phoenix patted her chest with a lingering fear on her face.

Alex took her hand, fearing that she would fall off accidentally, but he was thinking something else in his mind…

This place was Sinless City, where the sacrificial altar of gods was located. Moreover, he heard the Primal Old Devil mention that a monk came and sealed them in the Pantheon Tomb back then. After that, a million years went by.

What was the role of those people?

This grinder should be relevant.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3363

And, what role did it play?

‘I feel that the secret should be underneath this grinder…’

Alex said to Phoenix, “The endpoint of this flowing divine blood is the start of this predicament.”

Phoenix sighed. “However, we are no different from ants right now. We simply have no way to explore it. Besides, we still don’t know how to get out.”

“That’s true.” Alex said, “But, I remember Sinless City is underneath the expanse of desert in front of the gate of the Pantheon Tomb… Could it be that the place where the sky split open just now is where the Pantheon Tomb is located?”

Unfortunately, he had no way to communicate with the Pantheon Tomb now. Everything had turned out to be a dead end.

It was then that Phoenix saw someone approaching silently on the other side of the grinder.

At a glance, it was the Undead Queen.

Clearly, her cultivation was also under restriction. Moreover, what was unluckier was that she was walking with a limp as if she had a broken leg. Her goal was probably that half Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

“It’s the Undead Queen!”

“It’s really that devil! Haha! Take her life while she is ill!”

“I’ll go kill her!”

Alex was overjoyed. He immediately picked Phoenix up and rushed down.

Phoenix said, “She is shivering and is crippled now. Don’t ever let her drink the dragon’s blood. Otherwise, she will most probably recover from her leg injury and restore her mobility in a short time.”

“Alright!”

Then, Alex put Phoenix down and charged toward the Undead Queen alone.

“Juvia, hey! Serve you right! Hahaha!”

Juvia was a strikingly beautiful woman. She looked like Alison Brie after applying extreme beauty filters. She immediately raised her head like a rabbit caught in the headlights when she heard Alex’s voice. After that, she hurriedly turned around and ran away.

“You’re trying to run away? Not so easy!”

He quickly chased after her. However, that lame woman managed to run away fast. She then turned around and hid inside an ancient building.

“Be careful. Don’t go in. Watch out for trickery,” Phoenix shouted.

Alex stopped in his tracks. As expected, he did not go forward.

At that moment, the weather changed again. It became windy. A lot of yellow sand was blown over.

“Looks like a sandstorm is coming! Hurry up! Let’s find a place to hide!” Phoenix ran down.

There were many ancient buildings in this gigantic city. After searching around, Alex found a decent hiding place next to the vast grinder. He hurriedly took Phoenix’s hand and ran inside… After half a minute, he held a large broken jar and rushed toward the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. He feared that the sandstorm would bury it, and the dragon’s blood could no longer be found. It just so happened that a broken jar was inside that building.

He instantly rushed over and filled it up before running back. Right after he ran back, the sky turned dark suddenly. The surroundings had really become pitch-black.

He had no cultivation and the primordial eye, so he could not see anything. After calling out to Phoenix twice, he found her by following the voice.

“How was it?”

“I got a jar. There’s nothing I could do about the rest.”

Phoenix took his hand and sat down on the side. “This hellhole is too weird. It’s really unbearable. In order to prevent the Undead Queen from sneaking over, we should take turns to rest. I have just taken a nap. It’s your turn to sleep now. I’ll keep watch.’”

Alex nodded. He unreservedly laid down and pillowed his head on Phoenix’s lap right away.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3364

“Hey, are you asleep?” Phoenix’s soft voice resounded in the darkness.

Alex turned his head sideways and said, “No. I’m listening to the sound of the ocean.”

“What sound of the ocean? Where is the ocean?”

Alex moved closer to her thigh. “If an ocean exists in your mind, all seafood will be in front of you.”

Phoenix said, “So, you want to eat seafood! In fact, I also like to eat seafood, but I was previously trapped at Mount Yukon and was far away from the ocean. So, I couldn’t taste the flavor of seafood at all. If I can leave alive this time, I’ll treat you to seafood. Is that alright with you?”

Alex closed his eyes. “Alright!”

If Jade were here, she would probably bust his head.

‘Aren’t you bullying a silly girl?’

After that, the two people chatted idly.

The fact that the Undying Clan went extinct and the Undying Clan also fell into this place made the two people truly feel relieved. In this way, at least the diffracted universe would be safe. As for the Dark Pixies existing in the Undead Territory, Phoenix stated that they no longer posed a threat.

After the White Bone Scepter was retrieved, the deadly Chi in the Undead Territory would also perish and turn back into spiritual energy, where it would be suitable for humans to live there. On the other hand, the Dark Pixies would lose their advantageous barrier like the Undying Clan. Agatha, Saria, and the others were over there, so dealing with them should not be difficult.

Unknowingly, Alex fell asleep.

It was really a little unbearable for a body without cultivation.

Phoenix, who had no one to accompany her, originally intended to keep watch. However, she did not stay up for long. She also fell asleep quickly.

The two people did not notice that the Undead Queen, Juvia, really took advantage of the pitch-black night and sneaked over while dragging her injured leg. She silently arrived at the location under the grinder and found the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s corpse according to the position she had seen in her memory.

‘It’s the Five-clawed Golden Dragon! This a species that can only be found in the Primordial Dominion of the Chi universe, an actual Overlord-level existence. Why did it fall from above?’

‘Could it be that some unforeseen event happened in the Primordial Dominion?’

Juvia hailed from the Chi universe, so she knew much more information than Alex and the others. She had also seen the large number of corpses falling earlier. However, she could not figure out the arrangement of this huge grinder. Most importantly, she was not qualified to enter the Primordial Dominion.

‘Forget it. I’ll drink the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s blood to recover from the injury first! Then, I will slaughter those few pieces of sh*t!’

Juvia consumed it in the dark. When the dragon blood entered her stomach, she instantly felt warm. The cold sensation was swept away, and her broken leg was also recovering at a breakneck speed.

She even knew a secret skill of the dragon tribe. She tried to activate it on the spot. She shockingly discovered that she seemed to be able to loosen the seal on her body after activating this secret skill coupled with the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s blood, allowing her to regain control of her power.

‘Haha! How lucky I am!’

‘I’ll get a bit of dragon blood and leave this place first! Your days will be numbered when I recover 10% of my strength!’

The Undead Queen hated Alex to the core. At that thought, she immediately acted.

***

Time passed peacefully. In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Alex and Phoenix moved to several places in the past seven days and explored Sinless City while looking for Juvia’s whereabouts in passing. Unfortunately, the two people ended up empty-handed. Ever since that day’s encounter, the Undead Queen seemed to have vanished into thin air.

It was worth mentioning that Whitey woke up.

Even so, its cultivation was under the suppression of this place. After it woke up, it still looked tiny and could not turn into the huge Whitey. However, once the night fell, it became a guardian angel. With Whitey around, they could see without light at night. Alex and Phoenix could sleep peacefully.

In Sinless City…

“Hey, are you asleep?” Phoenix’s soft voice resounded in the darkness.

Alex turned his head sideways and said, “No. I’m listening to the sound of the ocean.”

“What sound of the ocean? Where is the ocean?”

Alex moved closer to her thigh. “If an ocean exists in your mind, all seafood will be in front of you.”

In Sinless City…

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3366

“That’s mad! How can someone pass that grinder?”

“We will be crushed into a bloody mess in no time.” Alex was frightened.

Thinking of it was simply terrifying. However, the Undead Queen paid no attention to his mood. The more Alex screamed, the happier she would be.

“That’s your business! You guys are at my mercy. It’s not up to you to decide!

“Alex Rockefeller, you annihilated the Undying Clan, ruined my plan, and even killed my younger sister! Each and every one of these matters is enough for me to kill you over a thousand times! This time, I’m magnanimous without killing you right away. It is equivalent to giving you a chance to live!”

Juvia took Alex, Phoenix and Whitey away.

They quickly arrived at the huge grinder. Standing on top of that huge funnel.

At that moment, many days had passed since the corpses fell from the sky. The corpses in the funnel had long been ground, and it was empty. However, the grinder had been rotating all the time, and on the edge of the grinder, they could still see bloodstains and even some ground flesh.

Juvia grabbed one person with each hand. She looked at Alex before looking at Phoenix. “Which one should I throw first?”

The next second, she threw Phoenix into the funnel.

“Ah!”

Even Phoenix couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Alex’s eyes widened in rage as he cursed loudly. However, Juvia did not care about him in the slightest.

“Curse me. The louder you curse, the more delighted I will be! I just want you to taste the pain of losing your loved one!” Juvia said while staring intently at Phoenix down below.

Phoenix currently had no cultivation at all. It had been sealed. Hence, she had no way to escape when she fell like that. Most importantly, a powerful suction force existed under the funnel, firmly sucking the fallen Phoenix and rapidly dragging her downward.

Shortly afterward, she entered the interior of the grinder. Phoenix closed her eyes, quietly waiting for the imminent death. In fact, she was someone who had died once, but she did not expect that her second death would be so tragic.

Her body was spinning… However, the expected situation where the grinder crushed her to death did not happen. She silently opened her eyes and found that she was inside the grinder.

She saw brown bloodstains, horrible ground flesh, some torn fabric, and shattered bones. All of them were left behind by those ground corpses earlier. It looked horrifying at a glance.

She saw densely packed tunes on the grinder with a flowing golden light. It was probably the driving force of the grinder. Despite all that, she did not die.

“I’m alive! I’m alive!”

“Alex, did you see that?! The grinder didn’t kill me!” Phoenix shouted from below.

Alex saw it. Juvia saw it too.

Instantly overjoyed, she was about to jump down with Alex right away.

Why was that?

It was because she really could no longer stay in Sinless City. Even if she recovered a little cultivation in this place, she still could not activate the spatial magical treasures. There was neither anything edible nor drinkable, so she could not last for another few days.

She searched the entire place. The only way out she could think of now was this grinder.

A large amount of blood and ground flesh was under the grinder. No matter what, she would not starve to death!

Nonetheless, Juvia thought again, ‘No. It may not necessarily be accurate by relying on a person for the experiment.’

She tried again. She also threw Alex down. As a result, Alex also did not die. That was great.

As the third person, she jumped down herself.

Boom!

Once she entered the grinder, she discovered something was wrong.

The grinder that did not respond to Phoenix and Alex, who jumped down earlier, actually glowed with a golden light. The runes on it lighted up and locked onto her.

“That’s mad! How can someone pass that grinder?”

“We will be crushed into a bloody mess in no time.” Alex was frightened.

The grinder that did not respond to Phoenix and Alex, who jumped down earlier, actually glowed with a golden light. The runes on it lighted up and locked onto her.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3369

Phoenix snorted coldly and ruthlessly stabbed her chest with a bone spike a few times.

The bone spike was picked up from the blood pool.

Alex wiped the sweat on his head and said, “It’s really difficult to perform surgery without handy tools. It’s fine now. Even if she has any mystic art, it’s absolutely impossible to recover her cultivation!”

Then, she said to Jade, “Master, did you say she’s useful because you discovered something?”

Jade said, “Guys, follow me.”

The space below was huge. Jade led them and took multiple turns. Finally, they came to a surprisingly huge open area. It looked like a flat platform at a glance. However, densely packed runes were found on the platform. And these runes had been soaked in dark red blood.

“Has the blood in the blood pool seeped into this place?”

“Oh gosh! How much blood is needed does this place need?”

Both Alex and Phoenix exclaimed. They simply dared not imagine it.

Jade asked, “Have you guys seen these runes before?”

Phoenix shook her head. “I have never seen them before.”

Alex did not recognize them either.

“There is no other area in this place except this platform. I have checked this place. Other than the place where we fell into, there is no entrance and exit. Now, our cultivation has been sealed, and we can’t get out at all. Most importantly, we can’t get out even if we recover our cultivation. The grinder will grind us into flesh and blood if we go back through that grinder. Jade said, “Hence, we might be able to leave this place only after deciphering these runes.”

Alex said, “Does the Undead Queen recognize them? I’ll go and bring her here.”

They waited for Alex to bring Juvia over.

After Juvia took a few glances at them, her expression changed drastically and she shouted in a cracked voice, “Impossible! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Hasn’t he been long dead? How can these things be here? What was he doing here? What was he doing?”

Those few people were startled. They did not understand the reason behind her huge reaction.

“What did you see?” asked Jade.

“Why do I have to tell you guys?” Juvia looked crazy as she stated intently at Alex. “Indeed, I know these runes. However, do you think l will cooperate obediently with you guys in order to survive after what you have done to me earlier? It’s wishful thinking for you, isn’t it?”

Phoenix landed a kick on Juvia’s body.

Juvia was kicked hard onto the ground, and her head bled. Blood fell drop by drop on those strange and mysterious runes before fusing with the blood paste. The next second, a strange event occurred. That rune abruptly emitted bloody light and soared into the sky.

“Huh?”

Alex and the others were shocked. Even Juvia was astonished as well.

When she moved her body, the blood on her head slid down her cheeks. From the chin, it fell onto another rune. Immediately afterward, that rune also emitted a similar bloody light.

“It’s the blood! When blood drops onto the blood talisman, golden light will emerge!”

“There are a total of 3,999 mysterious runes here. With so many of us here, it should be enough to drip the blood drop by drop! The blood paste in the blood pool can replenish our blood. It shouldn’t be a problem.” Jade said happily.

However, regardless of Alex, Phoenix, or Jade, the blood they had dripped on the runes had no effect. The three people looked at Juvia simultaneously.

“Only her blood is useful!”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3370

“Hey. This is weird. Why is only her blood effective?”

“Is ours blood too?”

Alex was slightly dejected. Humans were divided into various grades and ranks. Could it be that he was a low-ranked person?

However, Phoenix laughed heartily. “Isn’t that nice? I don’t want to bleed myself. I’m anemic!”

Jade walked next to Alex and said bashfully, “I’m anemic too.”

Alex rolled his eyes. “Please. You are a member of the Golden Titan Tribe.”

Jade snorted. “Can’t I have a period?”

“Uhm..?”

Sure enough, the Undead Queen, Juvia, was the most miserable in the end. She had now lost all her power, and her body was injured. After Alex performed a surgery on her, her body was extremely weak, yet Phoenix directly caught her bleeding.

One by one, bloody light shot out of the tunes. Juvia wore an extremely strange expression. It looked like she was in pain, yet it seemed like there was something else…

It was sorrow, or rather a withered heart.

It would take a great effort to drip blood on all 3,999 runes. Most importantly, Juvia could not provide so much blood in such a short while.

Fortunately, there was an abundant blood pool here. The blood there was equivalent to the final blood tonic. And so, after three days, all the runes on this large platform emitted light because Juvia had dropped her blood on them.

Time passed second by second. Everyone was concentrating and waiting for the occurrence of a miracle because they really had no other way.

Just as everyone thought everything was just an illusion, a rumbling sound suddenly rang below the platform. After that, the rune light rushing into the sky swam rhythmically.

At the same time, depressions appeared in the four directions, north, south, east and west on the platform. Four huge holes cracked open. Then, four huge stone sculptures rose from these holes.

Seiryuu…

Byakko…

Suzaku…

Genbu…

These were the sculptures of the four great mythical creatures, but soon, Alex and the others surprisingly discovered that these four stone sculptures started moving. Their bodies began to crack and the stone chips fell one after another, revealing the real bodies inside.

“Are they alive?”

“This is… This is too much…”

The few people were dumbstruck.

After a while, all the stone chips on the stone sculpture had fallen off. However, everyone retreated in surprise after taking a clear look at the real bodies inside. They were not real four great mythical creatures, but they were embodiments composed of countless fleshy puree and resentful spirits. The fleshy puree certainly referred to the fleshy puree ground in that huge grinder. The fleshy puree seemed to have a life of its own.

It kept moving and twisting rhythmically, but the appearance of the four mythical creatures formed was not messy. However, the fleshy puree would display different appearances from time to time. It was a dragon sometimes; it was a phoenix sometimes, it was a human sometimes. They seemingly tried to squeeze out of the fleshy puree of the sculptures, but they could not do it the entire time, as if a firm force field protecting the area ahead.

They opened their mouths wide and wailed.

The Yin energy was permeating the place, and it was filled with a ghostly aura. However, there were white bone chains below, which firmly locked the flesh puree.

Buzz!

It was then that another anomaly occurred in the sky overhead.

A female marshal gradually appeared while pulling a dragon cart. Oh, the female marshal was not a real marshal. It was also made of fleshy puree. The dragon cart was slowly pulling something cumbersome behind it. A certain moment later, everyone could clearly see the thing at the back.

They simply dared not believe their eyes.

Especially, a bolt out of the blue seemed to have struck Alex.
