Ch. 3411..3420
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3411
‘If you came to look for your mom, then just look for her! Why is that brat using my name around here? Can I even roam about the nether realm now?’
After the kidnapping, Alex Rockefeller’s name must be quite infamous. He should be no different from a street rat, then. Even if he were to explain that someone posed as him, few could possibly believe that.
As expected, the leader started asking, “So, what are your names?”
“Shelly!”
“Navil!”
It was then Alex’s turn to announce himself, “Blaze Rowan!”
“Are you guys heading to the Ksitigarbha Temple?”
‘Ksitigarbha Temple?’
Alex had no idea that such a place existed in this realm. In actuality, the three had no clear goal at the time. The Peacock Heavenly King only knew that the entrance to Dairaionji Temple was here in the nether realm, but she never came to this place herself.
She might have three rays of holy light, but the nether realm was just too abnormal. Since they wouldn’t be able to use even just ten percent of their powers just by being there, she wasn’t so foolish as to enter the realm for no good reason. She merely did her research on the Siddhartha realm, then confirmed from her sources and came to her own deductions to prove that the nether realm was, in fact the only entrance to the Dairaionji Temple as of now.
“Mhm, we are heading there!” Alex had no choice but to respond that way.
After a short pause, he asked, “Is there a monk called the Revealer Maha in the nether realm?”
The guy turned pale. “Why are you looking for him? I’m telling you, never ever try to look into that monk. You’d get yourselves in trouble! That old thing got himself in conflict with the Emperor Ghast and ended up killing the emperor’s third son too!”
“So what good could ever come from looking for him? He’s currently locked up on the eighteenth floor of hell for life!”
‘What? That actually happened?’
However, Alex knew Revealer Maha was the only person connected to the Dairaionji Temple. Hence, he would be the only one who knew how to find the entrance to this place.
Ancestor Bodhi was somewhat at fault for this as well. When he escaped from the temple, he immediately cut all contact with them since he was worried that the evil Bodhi would continue to go after him later on. Elsewise, they wouldn’t have to face such troublesome matters.
Under the protection of the nether troops, Alex and the others successfully entered the Ksitigarbha Temple. After that, many officials within the Ghast City came to greet them one after another. This incident had also been told to the kings of hell within the city, so they had to hold a meeting right there and then.
“Another Ksitigarbha’s disciple showed up?!”
“There’s no way this one is fake, right?”
King Sandros stood up immediately. “I’ll go meet up with him.”
King Adeel, who was sitting at the side, spoke up. “Oh, Sandros, your concubine isn’t coming back anymore. Even if she does, she will no longer be the concubine you know and love. She might have even got herself pregnant with the child of another! So what’s the use of being so hung up about her?”
“Think about it, if she really is pregnant, according to our boss’ orders, she would have to be protected. You can’t possibly let her miscarriage at all, am I not right?”
King Urban chimed in too. “Sandros, Adeel is right. Just pretend like you married your daughter off.”
King Sandros was fuming. “If you think that way, then why don’t you both give me your concubines instead?!”
“Sandros, do you desire our little concubines? This is a taboo in our city! We’d have to follow our traditions and punish you!”
“F*ck, when have I ever said that? Your concubines look horrid. They can’t compare to mine! I’m done with all your nonsense. I have to look for Ksitigarbha’s disciple. If he’s another fraud, I’ll split his head.”
Just as he walked out the door, he froze in place. The guy, who he had hoped to shred to pieces every single day, appeared in front of his eyes. He was merely a few feet away.
“Huh, you pest! So you were here all along!”
“Where did you hide my concubine?”
“Hand her over now!”
That person was Blaze Rowan himself.
With a shocked expression, he immediately sent out gigantic waves of flames toward King Sandros. “Don’t even think about it. Your concubine is my girl now! She has never been happy with you, dumb*ss! She was only able to experience the pleasures of a woman when she’s with me!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3412
That was truly an inhumane thing to say.
‘What does he even mean by that? She doesn’t feel happy with me, yet she experienced pleasures with you? Sure, I’m old, and some of my bodily functions have weakened. I know I can’t even impregnate my concubine at this point, but we have true love by our side! And being deeply in love is the best way to experience love! Do you even know what that feels like, huh, you lustful b*stard!’
King Sandros was extremely enraged, glaring straight at Blaze.
“You will pay for what you did, Rockefeller!”
“Hey old thing, your little guy is practically a fossil at this point, how shameless can you be? Get out of my way if you don’t have the stamina! What are you trying to achieve by holding onto her? Do you want to die earlier or something? I’ll bum you to ashes then!”
Whoosh!
Flames burst out of nowhere, filling the skies. Blaze’s flames were very abnormal, as it was still just as strong despite being in the nether realm.
With this, the entire inner court of the Ghast City started burning up in roaring flames. King Sandros had a rather close call himself-his bum would’ve been burnt by this if he hadn’t dodged in time.
“Argh!”
“Who do you think you are? Messing around in Ghast City as you please! Do you think we, the ten kings of hell, are a bunch of good-for-nothing-decorations?”
“Capture him… Uhm, Sandros, so he’s the one who kidnapped your… Tsk tsk, just look at how bad this situation has become. We’re all sentient beings, Sandros. Maybe your concubine just wanted some kind of fun. You should grant the younglings wishes!”
“Yeah, she’s still so young, she can’t possibly stay with you just because of this so-called love! She needs physical affection and you can’t provide her with that!”
“Let him go. He’s actually helping, you know!”
The kings of hell immediately changed their attitudes upon noticing Blaze, as they, for some reason, became exceedingly generous. Thus, this resulted in King Sandros being on his wit’s end.
‘If I don’t kill this brat right here, I might have to face such humiliating words for the rest of my life! I’d become a laughing stock! D*mn it, d*mn it!’
“I shouldn’t even be a king of hell if I don’t kill you right this instant!” King Sandros yelled as he lunged over.
Although Blaze’s flames were indeed powerful, he was still a hell king, and the nether realm was his territory. Moreover, he had several treasures on him that could prevent him from being burnt by the fire. That was exactly why he figured that he was capable of killing the young man.
“Run!”
Blaze sent out a fire dragon without hesitation, then ran straight towards the West. He couldn’t help but blame this on his rotten luck since he had actually come to the inner court in hopes of stealing the Life Book. That book was a mystical treasure, also known as the Nature’s Book. As long as he got his hands on it, he would finally be able to bring his mother’s soul back to the mortal realm. Elsewise, she wouldn’t be able to leave the nether realm at all. However, it was near impossible to achieve this. The Life Book wasn’t on King Sandros’ desk, but instead with King Sandros himself.
It took him quite a lot to get such information out of the king’s concubine, costing him his reputation within the nether realm.
Despite that, Blaze had expected as much. As long as the other kings stayed out of their fight, he figured he could snatch the book out of Sandros’ hands with his powers.
Boom!
Just then, King Sandros took out the Life Book right away.
Blaze had seriously underestimated the book’s power too. It wasn’t just any nether treasure, it was a deadly weapon too.
With the usage of the Life Book, the law power around them started changing drastically, as several golden symbols flew up into the air, then towards Blaze.
Boom!
The young man already felt like he couldn’t take it anymore, even though it had only been one blow. Spitting out some blood, he gathered some of his energy and dashed forward, yet only to be restrained by a string of golden symbols.
“F*ck!” Blaze cursed and sacrificed one of his treasures, a broken crock. However, it seemed obvious that be cherished this item a lot. When he took it out, a pained expression was plastered on his face. After that, he spat a mouthful of blood onto the treasure.
Suddenly, the crock floated up into mid air and exploded with a radiant white light.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3413
In an instant, the crock formed a powerful gravitational force on the Life Book symbols that were wrapped around Blaze‘s body, sucking up all the chains. However, it seemed the crock was having quite a hard time too. More tiny cracks were spreading from the many cracks that had already formed on the crock.
Seeing this, Blaze hurriedly kept the crock away and continued toward West before he could even process his emotions. Even so, the words from the Life Book continued pouring out endlessly. Every time these chains caught up to him, he would activate the crock time after time.
Suddenly, the crock shattered entirely, while the loud crack echoed through the air. Following that were tens of chains, rushing straight at Blaze, wrapping themselves around Blaze once more.
King Sandros huffed as he approached slowly. “Hey brat, run! Or can you?”
Just then, a woman dashed out from the side and put herself in front of Blaze. She was wearing a long violet dress, with her natural perfect face facing the king. It was hard to estimate her age, since she looked rather young, while seemingly having an old soul.
This woman was, in fact, King Sandros’ concubine. She stood up courageously, all for her lover.
“Maylene, you… What do you mean by that? Do you really want to die alongside him?”
The woman called Maylene touched her stomach gently and said, “King Sandros, I’m pregnant…”
“What?!”
“You… Really did that with that shameless bastard…”
Sandros felt so frustrated that he nearly vomited blood.
Maylene responded. “You should know this, I never liked you. If you hadn’t coerced me with your status and power, why would I ever want to be an old man‘s concubine? I’m still young, I have a long way to go! Why would I waste my youth on you? Ugh, and all that talk about love too. What bullsh*t! You’re so old that you can’t even control your bladder! So what makes you think you’re capable of having a concubine? What makes you think you could ever love me properly? Who gave you the right to even consider doing all that?”
Not far from them were the rest of the kings. They couldn’t help but burst out in laughter hearing this.
“Hahahaha, that’s way too funny!”
”Sandros is starting to pee his pants now?”
“No, no! The pee is just dripping uncontrollably onto his pants. That happened three times before, at least to my knowledge.”
“Oh no, that means nothing will be able to help.”
King Sandros questioned, “Do you really think I can’t kill you once you’re pregnant?”
“Both of you can rot in hell!”
Just then, a holy melody sounded, as a divine light shone through the entire space. A golden figure walked over, saying, “Amitabha, it is agreed that good nature exists in every being. How could you possibly kill a pregnant lady? How about you let them go out of respect for me? Helping them is helping yourself, you know?”
It was Alex.
Sandros turned to him. “Are you the new Ksitigarbha?”
Alex nodded. “You could say that.”
Sandros replied, “You‘re being too controlling. This is my business, and this has nothing to do with you.”
Alex replied, “No, you’re wrong. I can control anything within the nether realm!”
Sandros’ expression darkened. “We’re not even sure if you’re the true Ksitigarbha yet, so how would you have the rights to control Ghast City?”
“I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself, alright?”
“Now what’s so hard about that?”
Alex’s golden body quivered, immediately sending a punch towards King Sandros’ chest.
Several chains of symbols came from the Life Book to stop the attack, yet Alex’s punch immediately went through them, as the book was returned to its original form. The man then grabbed it for himself.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3414
“What?”
King Sandros simply couldn’t believe his eyes. The Nature’s Book was at a very high level, an existence that ranked top five among many magical treasures in the nether realm. To his surprise, the person before his eyes managed to knock out all the chains of runes unleashed by Nature’s Book. These runes were not ordinary, but they were custom-made instruments of the laws of the nether realm.
Nature’s Book contained unlimited power, yet it was broken. It was even grabbed and taken away.
“Impudent! Nature’s Book cannot be simply touched! Hurry up and give it back to me!” King Sandros roared angrily.
“It cannot be simply touched?” Alex shook his head. “You casually used it to kill people, yet you’re telling someone else simply not to touch it. What is allowed to Jupiter is not permitted to the ox. So what if I touched it?”
Alex abruptly acted. He squeezed the Nature’s Book in his hand hard.
He instantly severed all the soul imprints relating to King Sandros on it with his hand containing supreme witch power.
“Ah!” King Sandros screamed horribly.
After his soul imprints on Nature’s Book were severed, he could no longer sense the Nature’s Book. The Nature’s Book had been completely snatched away.
“Take it!”
Alex directly threw the Nature’s Book in his hand at Blaze. Looking at Blaze, he said, “I heard that you’re called Alex Rockefeller, right?”
Blaze smiled awkwardly. “Uncle, I thought your title as the inheritor of Ksitigarbha would be useful in the nether realm, but I didn’t expect it would be completely useless! I asked this guy for a view of Nature’s Book. This old geezer didn’t show any courtesy at all. He even said that Ksitigarbha is dead for an unknown period of time. Ksitigarbha Temple in the nether realm is considered an illegal building. He wants to demolish Ksitigarbha Temple in the near future.”
Alex sneered. “Don’t call me uncle. I’m currently your brother-in-law.”
“Huh?”
Blaze was slightly dazed. “Which sister of mine did you hook up with?”
Alex said, “Phoenix Rowan.”
Blaze nodded. He didn’t seem surprised and said, “Phoenix is indeed a rare beauty. I’m not surprised at all because you both get together in the end. At that time, I already knew the ending between you two.”
Someone else snatched King Sandros’ Nature’s Book. It was a massive incident. Every king of hell could not stay out of it. In an instant, the remaining kings of hells also rushed over.
Someone said, “You are the inheritor of Ksitigarbha? As expected, you’re powerful, but Nature’s Book is the nether realm’s treasure related to its normal operation. It must never be taken away by outsiders. So, please return the Nature’s Book to King Sandros!”
Although Nature’s Book was currently in Blaze’s hand, everyone could tell. Most importantly, they had to depend on Alex’s attitude.
Alex said that there was no rush. He glanced at the lady who had spoken to him.
Never did he expect that this “brother-in-law” would have good taste. The lady had delicate facial features. It was the refreshing feeling that carried righteousness and a slight coquettishness. That was right. It was the feeling of the veteran star, Julia Roberts. She really could be accepted as a symbolic western beauty.
“You guys… What’s the situation?”
Only then did Blaze talk about this matter. He found that Nature’s Book was in King Sandros’ hand, so he intended to steal Nature’s Book Consequently, he accidentally saw that King Sandros’ concubine was trying to escape. This concubine was totally unwilling to become King Sandros’ concubine. Instead, she helplessly feigned civility. Then, she was with Blaze when she fled.
“What do you need the Nature’s Book for?”
“To rescue my mom!” Blaze said, “My mom is trapped on the ninth floor of Hell Tower. There is no way for her to get out of it without the Nature’s Book.”
“Ninth floor of hell? Alex immediately asked the kings of hell. “Is Revealer Maha on the eighteenth floor of hell?
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3415
As soon as the question was raised, the hell kings showed varied expressions. They became slightly odd for some reason.
Someone asked, “Why are you looking for that old monk?”
Alex said, “I’m the inheritor of Ksitigarbha, and Revealer Maha is a member of Buddhism. Now that you guys have trapped him on the eighteenth floor of hell, don’t you think I should rescue him?”
“Rescue him?”
A few hell kings instantly got agitated. “You probably don’t know what that monk has done. He has not been an authentic member of Buddhism since a long time ago. Instead, he is a terrorist sent by Dairaionji Temple to attack the nether realm. If you had known what he did, you would have locked him on the eighteenth floor of hell just like Emperor Ghast. Receiving torments day and night is the retribution he deserves.”
“Oh. Can you talk about the specifics?”
“Sorry, I can’t. Emperor Ghast has issued a gag order. No one can discuss this matter.”
“I want to meet Emperor Ghast then, can I?”
Since the few kings of hell could not call shots, he could only go and look for the boss of this place.
Consequently, Alex was told that Emperor Ghast was not there. As for where he had gone… He was a great boss, so he couldn’t have reported his detailed whereabouts to the employees under him.
“In that case, I’ll just have to barge in! I have no way to return the Nature’s Book to you guys either. I’ll return this treasure after finding Revealer Maha.”
“Presumptuous!” King Sandros finally spoke angrily, “Do you think you can do whatever you want in the nether realm just because you are the inheritor of Ksitigarbha? Let me tell you. This is impossible, not to mention you are just an inheritor of Ksitigarbha. Even if Ksitigarbha is here, all his actions need to be discussed with a few of us. Who the hell are you? Immature fella, I’ll kill you directly if you don’t hand over the Nature’s Book!”
Smack!
Right after King Sandros’ voice fell, Alex landed a slap on his face. Half of King Sandros’ face was instantly swollen from the slap, and two teeth were also knocked out.
Everyone present was astonished.
The loss in the match earlier and the snatching of his magical treasure were not particularly humiliating, but now, he was slapped in public. It was a great humiliation that even ordinary people could not withstand. King Sandros was instantly dumbfounded. It took him a few seconds to come to his senses and realize that he had been slapped. Moreover, it occurred in front of so many old fellows.
Roar!
King Sandros was hysterical. He could not take it anymore and intended to fight with all his might.
On the other hand, the remaining few kings of hell wanted to laugh at King Sandros, who had been slapped, but the hell kings were in the same breath. In the face of such a situation, they had to unite against outsiders. In the next second, ten or so people surrounded Alex, Blaze, and that concubine.
At that moment, a childish voice carried over. “You old fellows bully a few outsiders with so many of you. You still have the bad habits of the past. No wonder pandemonium reigned in the nether realm. You ten stubborn old farts, it’s the consequence for neglecting your duties and enriching yourselves!”
A young girl in red set up a sky bridge and walked over.
“That’s… Persephone’ s Folly Bridge?”
“Ksitigarbha’s Persephone’s Folly Bridge!”
“D*mn! It’s that Star Witch, Rachel!”
Each hell king had a drastic expression change after looking clearly at Shelly walking on the sky bridge step by step. Some even had their beards trembling as if they had seen something fearful.
“Didn’t… Didn’t you die?”
“That’s right! I saw it with my own eyes! There’s no way you’re still alive!”
“Am I a ghost then?” Shelly walked up to Alex and stood next to him. She looked just like Alex’s daughter.
King Sandros asked, “You are together? What is the relationship between you?”
Shelly said, “I’m his protector!”
After a pause, she continued, “Since Emperor Ghast is not here, why don’t you guys accompany us on a trip to hell?! Maha is related to a major event. He is an important breakthrough for the survival of the three thousand worlds. We have to meet him.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3416
“To accompany you guys to the Hell Tower?”
After hearing the witch Shelly’s words, all the kings of hell were obviously unwilling to do so. The Hell Tower contained a total of eighteen floors. Each floor was boundless and perilous. Even if the kings of hell had to pay a price after entering it. If they were unlucky, they might die inside. There had been cases of kings of hell dying in the Hell Tower.
“Ahem. A place like the Hell Tower is really unsuitable for us old people to go in, so we won’t go in.”
“Yes. Yes. We are kings of hell. Go to the Hell Tower? Where is the decency?”
King Urban asked, “You just said that Revealer Maha is related to the survival of the three thousand worlds. What is this all about?”
“Dairaionji Temple is currently under control of the evil Buddhism. The great ancient demon of the Chi universe may be behind it Now, it is devouring the Starnest Nodes of the three thousand worlds. Once Dairaionji Temple devours all the Starnest Nodes, everything will cease to exist…”
Shelly explained the severity of the matter once again. The few kings of hell were wide-eyed after hearing that.
If this matter is true, then it would be a great deal.
Alex asked, “What did Revealer Maha do to offend Emperor Ghast?”
“Uhm…”
The ten kings of hell were at a loss for words, as if it was a completely unspeakable taboo.
Shelly shouted angrily, “Why don’t you say it quickly? Revealer Maha is the key now. However, Revealer Maha was assigned by Dairaionji Temple to come to the nether realm to become an official. It’s quite possible that he is also a puppet of Dairaionji Temple. This is very important. There is no room for concealment. Hurry up and say it immediately, or else I will pull out all your big beards.”
The kings of hell had a change of expression upon hearing that. It seemed to be an unpleasant memory.
Eventually, the king of hell named King Gladiia was a little ashamed as he opened his mouth. “That old monk stole… He stole Emperor Ghast’s undergarment.”
“Pfft!” Blaze was the first person who laughed.
Then, a laugh also escaped the woman next to him, the original concubine of King Sandros. Only then did everyone learn that this concubine’s name was Kathy Rowan. Both of them were surnamed Rowan, which considered fate.
Alex was speechless for a while. He then said, “Has that old monk gone crazy? He’s perfectly all right. Why did he steal an old man’s undergarment? Could it be that the nether realm is too cold and Emperor Ghast’s undergarment specially keeps one warm? Is it the Warmknit brand?”
The few kings of hell looked particularly odd.
King Urban explained, “The incumbent Emperor Ghast is a female.”
“A female…”
“Huh..?” Alex’s expression changed instantly.
He had never thought a woman would sit on the throne of Emperor Ghast. ‘No. What did he mean by ‘incumbent’? Could it be that Emperor Ghast did not refer to a specific person, but it was term-based like a president?’
Voting and election had to be held once the term was up?
Shelly, who seemed to have seen through Alex’s question, explained, “Emperor Ghast is indeed term-based. Normally, a term lasts for ten thousand years. Once the term is up, his whereabouts will be decided based on his performance. Meanwhile, the current Emperor Ghast was elected by multiple forces through voting.”
As expected, even the nether realm kept pace with the times and a voting system was used. Then, he even heard that the kings of hell were appointed on a rotational basis.
The kings of hell had a shorter term. A term only lasted for five thousand years. If a king of hell died prematurely or died a violent death in the middle of the term, then there would be reserve kings of hell. Someone exceptional would be selected among the kings of hell to become the new king of hell.
Not only did Alex rack his brains after hearing about such a novel matter, even Blaze, who had come to nether realm for many years, heard it for the first time.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3417
However…
“Why did Revealer Maha steal Emperor Ghast’s undergarment? He couldn’t have intended to resume secular life, right?”
King Urban answered, “That old monk looks very perverted at a glance. He is not someone good. There is no guarantee that he is a monk that doesn’t follow Buddhist commandments. When he sees the stunningly beautiful Emperor, his lustful desire shows up, and he breaks the lust commandment. It’s hard to guarantee that!”
Alex asked, “Is your Emperor very beautiful?”
King Urban said, “Of course. It can be said that the incumbent Emperor Ghast is the prettiest one in tens of millions of years. Ask King Sandros if you don’t believe it. What was it like when I saw the Emperor for the first time? She almost couldn’t walk and slammed herself into a pillar. The pillar broke, causing her to lose a year of stipends.”
“Hahaha…” Blaze laughed heartily. “It turns out that this old lecher has a criminal record.”
King Sandros glared at King Urban. “Why are you talking about this?”
They got back to the main subject.
Based on Alex’s understanding of Revealer Maha, he shouldn’t be someone who would steal a female emperor’s undergarment. Could he have become a minion of evil Buddhism just like the speculation?
Perhaps he was under control for some reason. Even if he was controlled, he couldn’t have stolen that stuff. Hence, Alex thought that Revealer Maha definitely had a reason for doing this. It was a reason that he could not guess now. Then, he could only crack this mystery after going to the eighteenth level of hell and finding Revealer Maha.
“Alright. Since you guys don’t dare to go to hell, we will find him ourselves. However, we have to take away Nature’s Book. We will return it to its rightful owner when we return,” said Alex.
King Sandros was instantly anxious. “If you can’t come back, wouldn’t the Nature’s Book be left inside? Without Nature’s Book, the order of the nether realm will face a serious problem. Who will bear this responsibility?”
Alex said with a smile, “You, of course! You lost the Nature’s Book in your hand. If it isn’t you, who else is there to look for? You will just go to hell and find it slowly when the time comes.”
King Sandros almost cursed.
‘How can there be an immoral fellow like you? The Hell Tower is so huge. There are eighteenth floors in total. Who knows where you will lose it. I won’t be able to find it for the rest of my life.’
King Gladiia said, “Sandros, I think you should accompany them on a trip to the Hell Tower!”
King Sandros looked at him out of the corner of his eye. “Why don’t you go?”
“The Nature’s Book was snatched from your hand. The responsibility lies with you. When the Emperor comes back and holds you accountable, you will have to enter the Hell Tower. Moreover, its nature will be different.”
As soon as King Sandros heard that, he paled but looked angry. Eventually, he snorted coldly at Alex. “Alright. l will go with you guys.”
The matter of finding Revealer Maha was particularly urgent. Once the few people gathered, they immediately set off. First, they went to call out to the fat peacock in Ksitigarbha Temple. That fellow was muddled-headed and couldn’t walk steadily. They really couldn’t understand the reason she came here.
“Kathy!”
At that moment, King Sandros looked at Kathy. “The Hell Tower is perilous. You better don’t go there. Stay here and wait for us to come back.”
Judging by the looks of it, King Sandros was quite attentive to Kathy. However, Kathy hugged Blaze and said, “No. No one can separate my husband and me. Our family of three has to die together.”
King Sandros grimaced. He simply looked uglier than having eaten a fly.
Shelly said, “Sandros, why don’t you look in the mirror? You are too old to become someone else’s father, yet you still want to become someone else’s husband. Do you have the ability? How about this? When the child is born, you will become the child’s godfather. What do you think?”
“No! No!” Blaze directly refused.
***
A day later, the group left Ghast City and came to a vast volcanic crater.
Blaze said, “This is the entrance to the Hell Tower. I have walked through the first nine floors. I will lead the way! Brother- in-law, I’ll count on you to take care of Kathy.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3418
However…
“Why did Revealer Maha steal Emperor Ghast’s undergarment? He couldn’t have intended to resume secular life, right?”
King Urban answered, “That old monk looks very perverted at a glance. He is not someone good. There is no guarantee that he is a monk that doesn’t follow Buddhist commandments.

Judging by the looks of it, King Sandros was quite attentive to Kathy. However, Kathy hugged Blaze and said, “No. No one can separate my husband and me. Our family of three has to die together.”
King Sandros grimaced. He simply looked uglier than having eaten a fly.
Shelly said, “Sandros, why don’t you look in the mirror? You are too old to become someone else’s father, yet you still want to become someone else’s husband. Do you have the ability? How about this? When the child is born, you will become the child’s godfather. What do you think?”
“No! No!” Blaze directly refused.

A day later, the group left Ghast City and came to a vast volcanic crater.
Blaze said, “This is the entrance to the Hell Tower. I have walked through the first nine floors. I will lead the way! Brother- in-law, I’ll count on you to take care of Kathy.”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3419
At that moment, Blaze felt that he had suffered a blow. He had made progress in the nether realm over the years. He fought every day and initially thought he could reach his father’s height, but now, he looked more like an amateur than his brother-in-law.
“We’ve arrived at the ninth level!” Alex said to Blaze, “Let’s pick up your mother first, by the way!”
After identifying a direction, Blaze pointed to a mountain road. “Over there! My mom is the chief of a stronghold on that mountain.”
“The chief of a stronghold?” Alex was surprised, somehow feeling it was a little over, dramatic.
Blaze said, “My mom is trapped on the ninth level. She can’t get out without Nature’s Book. There are many arrogant, irritable, and supreme lords in the ninth level, always turning it upside down. My mom, annoyed to wits’ end, built a stronghold on this mountain. She demarcated the territory and allowed some weak people seeking protection to come in.”
So, that was the case!
The people acted swiftly. A few minutes later, the stronghold on the mountain came into sight.
However…
“Something’s wrong!”
Shelly immediately discovered the situation. The mountain was full of eerie Wind and surging laws. Faint fighting sounds even carried over.
“A battle broke out up there!”
“It’s not good! It’s my mom!”
Blaze immediately rushed over. His body turned into a mass of flame and traversed the sky.
Boom!
Consequently, he slammed into a transparent force field. It turned out that a force field had been set up on this mountain. It was no wonder they did not hear the sound until they got here.
Swoosh!
Alex’s figure flashed and landed next to the force field. Blaze failed to blow up the force field even after trying several times, so he asked Alex, “Brother-in-law, do you know spell formations?”
“There is no need to decipher this kind of force field,” Alex replied.
Boom!
He directly sent out a punch.
The surging divine power was surrounded by Buddhist songs.
Made of Yin elements, this force field feared Buddhist power or holy energy the most. The force field shook for a while under the onslaught of Alex’s punch, and in the next second, shattered like a bubble.
As soon as the force field was broken, Blaze barged in. Alex followed closely behind him. Shortly afterward, they saw a lady battling two ghosts covered in Yin energy with a long lance in her hands.
This woman was Blaze’ s mother, Lucretia Ephemera.
Blaze joined the battle and unleashed an all-out flame attack. The flame had a good amount of power and could relieve Lucretia’s pressure.
“Blaze, why did you come in again? Hurry up and leave this place!” Lucretia screamed with a serious expression.
“Mom, I’ve acquired Nature’s Book. I can take you and leave together,” Blaze replied happily.
Seeing his mother, his smile also looked like a child who had not grown up.
“What?! You have Nature’s Book in your hand?”
The two Yin creatures immediately manifested their original appearance. They were two middle-aged people. Staring intently at Blaze, they were extremely excited. “Hand over the Nature’s Book, and we will spare both you and your mother!”
Blaze said with a smile, “You probably don’t know a catastrophe is going to befall you, do you?”
‘What?’ The two middle-aged men were startled.
After that, they sensed a terrifying aura approaching them. When they looked back, two lotuses silently flew before their eyes.
“What are these?”
The next second, golden light burst from the two lotuses and instantly enveloped the two people, dragging them into the lotuses.
Swoosh!
The lotuses returned to Alex’s body. He slowly stepped forward and sized up the lady in red. He then said, “l’m pleased to meet Aunt Lucretia!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3420
Lucretia looked at the man before her eyes in horror. She was mind blown.
The two lords earlier were outstanding existences on the ninth floor of hell. Previously, they lived together in harmony when she built the stronghold here. The two lords dared not harass her. However, it was unknown what had happened in the past few days.
A commotion occurred on the ninth floor of hell, and a mysterious force swept over, causing every individual living in hell to have an exponential increment in strength. She also became much stronger in a short time. Nonetheless, the young man before her eyes just used two strange lotuses to instantly take away the two lords who had significantly increased strength.
“You are…” asked Lucretia.
However, her heart was fear-stricken. This young man’s strength was unfathomable. Since he appeared with her son, he was probably an ally rather than an enemy.
As though presenting a treasure, Blaze immediately said, “Mom, he is my brother-in-law, Alex Rockefeller!”
“Your brother-in-law? Of which sister?”
Lucretia was clearly startled.
Blaze ranked the eldest in the family and had many younger brothers and sisters. The number of his sisters reached several dozens. It could not be helped as Emperor Rowan had become a heartbreaker for 108 generations. Finally, those 108 women gathered in this life to pester him. He was destined to have 108 wives. When he had many wives, he naturally had many children.
“He is Phoenix Rowan’s husband!”
“Huh? Phoenix’s husband?!” Lucretia clearly looked shocked.
Phoenix was the daughter of Emperor Rowan and the Phoenix Empress. Both of them were supreme kings of gods with earth-shattering talents. Phoenix inherited all the advantages of the two people and thus became the most powerful junior among the children of the Rowan family.
Time had changed. Even Phoenix had a husband!
At that moment, King Sandros and Shelly arrived. Shelly was carefree, whereas King Sandros was scared witless. He came forward and asked, “What’s going on? Has the ninth floor of the Hell Tower become so dangerous? The lords here can even set up a force field? It’s bizarre. Why is this place giving me a vibe of reaching the eighteenth floor of hell?”
Shelly said, “So, you felt that too.”
At that moment, Blaze introduced them to his mom and took out the Nature’s Book.
Swoosh!
A ray of golden light rushed out of Nature’s Book. The golden light rushing to the sky displayed someone’s name and birth date.
It was about Lucretia.
Eventually, this information rushed into Lucretia’s body and disappeared.
King Sandros said, “Alright. Your mother’s soul has regained freedom. You can take her and leave now. Since you’re done with Nature’s Book, you can return it to me, right?”
Blaze looked at Alex.
Alex snatched the Nature’s Book, so, Blaze had to ask him whether it should be returned.
Alex did not care about it. Since they were done with Nature’s Book, and it was an indispensable tool for the nether realm, he did not want to take it for himself. He nodded and said, “Return it to him!”
It was a weight off King Sandros’ mind as soon as he received Nature’s Book.
“Alright! My mission is complete! I’ll take my leave first! Blaze Rowan, you brat has to treat Kathy better in the future. If you dare to let her down, I will hook your soul with the Nature’s Book. Got it?” shouted King Sandros.
Lucretia asked, “Who is Kathy?”
Blaze hurriedly said, “She is his god-granddaughter.”
He did not know what his mother would think if she were to find out that he had stolen King Sandros’ concubine. It would be bad for Kathy, either.
As soon as Lucretia heard that, she exclaimed, “Amazing. You even managed to find a wife in the nether realm.”
When she met Blaze last time, she knew that her son and Xienna jumped into the Pool of Reincarnation due to a conspiracy. In private, there was no love affair between the two of them. However, they also did not know who pushed them at that time.
King Sandros really ran away. Using Nature’s Book, he raised a beam of light and rushed to the sky.
