The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3491

“What is the Eye of Nine Yin?” Alex couldn’t help but ask.

In a good mood, Lady Black Lotus explained, “The Eye of Nine Yin is called the Juyo Eye, or you can comprehend it as the Cosmic Eye. Do you know where I was born in the beginning?”

Alex asked, “Could it be the Cosmic Eye?”

“I like your wit! Alex Rockefeller, you are a decent successor! Fate has brought us together. I could reincarnate because of your body’s ability to incubate the three thousand Dao lotuses. You are gifted and meritorious. I want to take you to see the wonder on the other side of the universe. It is too lonely to be alone.”

Alex said nothing. It was too distant. In fact, he was more willing to enjoy the mortal realm’s beauty than the other side of the universe.

Humans were gregarious creatures. What was the point of immortality if there was no one else?

“What is inside the Eye of Nine Yin?”

“Everything!”

Just then, a swift ray of light arrived before them. Alex was keen-eyed. It turned out to be the Phanes Ax that originally belonged to him.

‘It rushed into Golden City earlier, but I don’t know what it did during this long period. D*mn it! It let its freak flag fly after it was let out. Someone went to great lengths to hunt your useless master just now. D*mn thing! Why didn’t you come back and rescue me? Why are you only back now?’

To Alex’s surprise, however, the Phanes Ax rushed up to him and stayed for a moment. Then, it flew toward the Void Gate.

Whoosh!

The Phanes Ax just disappeared.

“Phanes Ax?” Lady Black Lotus also saw the ax flying into the Void Gate. Then, all of a sudden, she seemed to become impatient. She paid no attention to the Golden City people, but it seemed the Phanes Ax was something from her era.

“Get into the Void Gate quickly!” Lady Black Lotus shouted.

After that, she headed there. Without waiting for Alex’s answer, she wrapped her hand around his body, dragging him into the dark demonic lotus. Then, the demonic lotus flew quickly into the Void Gate.

The demonic lotus had abandoned Princess Bea.

Bea was anxious in an instant. After glancing at the wretched Ruca, she quivered and jumped into the Void Gate hurriedly. She exclaimed after a moment of suffocating sensation. She realized she was a thousand meters above the ground. However, being unable to float, she simply couldn’t control her body falling straight down.

Boom!

Bea fell hard. It wasn’t hard ground below her but an endless ocean instead. This place turned out to be a world of sea, something completely beyond her expectation. Fortunately, her physical fitness was still present. The overpowering level of a body from the Xeraphim clan was still reliable.

She was fine. Then, she saw Alex, who was also in a daze.

That terrifying black lotus was missing.

“Hey! Human brat!” Princess Bea swam toward Alex.

All the clothes clung to her body, revealing her perfect and delicate figure… Mainly, Alex was to blame for giving her clothes that didn’t repel water.

“Bea, why are you here too?”

“Where would I go if I didn’t come in?” Bea snarled. “To get caught by that patrolman and have my flesh and soul mingled with his?”

Helpless, Alex replied, “Why do you keep worrying about someone else mingling with your flesh and soul? Not every man thinks that way. At least I don’t!”

“That’s because you are foolish!”

“D*mn! Are you trying to get me to mingle with your flesh and soul?”

“Dream on!” Bea crossed her arms over her chest. “Where is that black lotus of yours?”

“I put it away. This place is a bit special. It seems that it can’t stay outside for a long time… I am relieved in this way. That thing is like a bomb that will explode at any time. It didn’t obey me right after I summoned it.”

“Yes. You must never summon it again unless it’s the last resort.”

After she said that, they saw a ship rushing over from the bottom of the sea.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3492

“A submarine! Holy crap!” Alex screamed.

However, the speeding ship looked like a normal cruise ship. It somewhat looked like a pirate ship, but it was definitely not a submarine. Nonetheless, it was clear that the ship was able to sail under the sea, indicating it was definitely stronger than a normal cruise ship. The ship also seemed to be able to fly underwater, and even the fastest fish on Earth seemed no match for its speed.

“Ah! The ship is speeding like crazy! It’s going to crash into us!” Bea screamed.

“And the water drains away automatically wherever the ship passes!”

Alex grabbed Bea and quickly dodged to the side.

The speeding ship missed them by the skin of their teeth, and ripples brushed past their faces like blades in its wake. Alex clearly saw a large “Rouge” painted on the hull of this undersea cruise ship. Someone else was present in the Nine Yin Heavenly Ruin.

Just as this thought crossed Alex’s mind, that ship stopped suddenly, swiftly reversed course, and stopped in front of the two people. Subsequently, several people came down from it.

“Heh! These two weaklings are good! It looks like they have some strength on their hands!” said a man with a broad smile on his face.

“These two weaklings aren’t even in the Dominant Realm, yet they made me reverse the ship. Do you think it doesn’t cost energy crystals to get it to move? You’ll be filling up energy crystals next time,” a rather attractive black-clothed woman grumbled as she glanced at Alex and Bea.

“I don’t know what went wrong in the Heavenly Ruin during this period. There have been all kinds of riff-raff going around here.”

She clearly looked down upon Alex and Bea, especially Bea who had a pair of long beast ears. She was obviously not a human.

“Madame Rouge, talking about energy crystals hurt our feelings, doesn’t it? I think these two people have some good grounding for being able to avoid our ship in time.” The man said, “Didn’t a lot of our mining workers die in the accident? We have to find a way to increase the population.”

“Yes. What you said makes sense. In that case, take these two weaklings with us.”

Madame Rouge agreed with the man. After that, she ordered her subordinates to capture them.

Alex and Bea were stunned.

What was going on? Were they going to capture them to mine ores?

“Run quickly!”

Alex took Bea and planned to teleport away. They had come together, after all. Then, he noticed that the space in this place was particularly sturdy. Unfortunately, the law he used for teleportation was insufficient, and he was unable to break open a space.

“Are you two weaklings trying to run away? If I, Madame Rouge, let you run away, my reputation will be ruined in the Heavenly Ruin.”

Whoosh!

Golden threads of laws that seemed woven into a huge net suddenly appeared, blocking Alex and Bea from escaping. Alex unleashed a ray of light…

“Great Severance!”

The Immortal Butcher slashed at the huge golden net ruthlessly, but to his dismay, he noticed that the invincible and indestructible Immortal Butcher failed to understand the huge golden net. It was not an actual net but some kind of law. Even he could not comprehend this kind of law.

The next second, the huge net shrank and engulfed the two like they were fish.

“F*ck!” Alex cursed, but there was nothing he could do. He and Bea could only look at each other helplessly.

Golden City was dangerous enough, but he did not expect the Heavenly Ruin to be even more perilous.

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3493

A random woman he’d encountered on the way turned out to be so powerful.

‘Am I a man with limited outlook? Should I summon the dark demonic lotus?’

Alex abandoned the idea for the time being. Although Madame Rouge wore black clothes, she seemed slightly friendlier than Lady Black Lotus. Lady Black Lotus was someone who wanted to turn him into her slave. What should he do if she was a golddigger? Certainly, he wouldn’t be able to satisfy her, he thought.

On the contrary, satisfying Madame Rogue seemed possible.

He would be fine as long as he mined them for her. Another point was that he knew nothing, being here for the first time. It seemed he could find out many things if he contacted these people.

“Madame Rouge, I’m willing to mine for you. I am an innate miner,” said Alex without dignity.

“Heh! You are quite tactful!” Madame Rouge smiled, but she slapped Alex hard the next second across the face. The smack was loud, clear, and sounded painful.

“Do you think a weakling like you can call me Madame Rouge?”

‘D*mn you, b*tch!’ Alex cursed her.

Alex’s suppressed rage surged to the top as he hadn’t been slapped for many years.

‘This is not over! Just you wait!’

After that, Alex and Bea were dragged onto the ship and locked in an isolation room with restrictions cast on them. The cultivation of their entire bodies was sealed, and they could not even move their hands and feet. They felt heavy all over their bodies once they moved casually as if countless vines had been tied to their bodies. Then, he realized that both of them were not alone in the isolation room of the ship.

There were another three women and five men. Basically, they were in a similar state.

When these eight people saw Alex and Bea getting thrown inside, they all looked in shock at the two of them. Someone asked, “Did Madam Rouge capture you two as well? Where are you mining masters from?”

“Mining masters? What is that?” Alex asked, puzzled.

But as the name implied, he knew the mining master must have had something to do with mining.

“You don’t even know what a mining master is? Why were you captured?”

“We are not mining masters, but indeed, we are captured to mine,” Alex said with a smile.

He reigned supreme in the diffracted universe but was unfamiliar with this place. As a result, he went from hero to zero. If he was mentally weak, he would’ve been instantly devastated.

“You don’t even know what a mining master is, yet you want to mine at Devil’s Hill? Pfft…” Someone almost laughed.

Then, another one whispered, “They are probably cannon fodder.”

When the others heard those words, they cast sympathetic gazes at them.

Alex’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong with Devil’s Hill? Is it especially difficult to mine there?”

“It’s not especially hard to mine, but it’s extremely ominous,” a woman said.

“Ominous? What do you mean?”

“Sis, what’s the point of telling them? They are just cannon fodder. They won’t live long once they arrive at Devil’s Hill. Jeez! Even old miners like us will find it treacherous. Rumor has it that an ancient corpse has been dug up in the mining area of Devil’s Hill. It will kill whoever it sees. I’m afraid we won’t survive long either!” a young man said. He looked dejected and helpless, as if he had resigned to his fate.

Someone said, “Don’t scare yourself. The ancient corpses are just rumors. Besides, it is not a common phenomenon.”

“However, I heard that the corpse is missing and hasn’t been found. And, everyone who saw the corpse was…” Another man tried to say, but was unable to continue the rest of his words.

Bea was indiscreet. Upon hearing those words, she asked quickly, “What happened to all of them?”

That man glanced at Bea. He probably thought she was young, so he said politely, “All of them went crazy!”

“They went crazy?” Alex was shocked this time. He then asked, “What kind of ore are we going to mine?”

The previous woman answered, “Witch Essence. One pound of Witch Essence equals one thousand pounds of Witch Ore.”

“That powerful?”

They stayed in the cabin for an unknown time. Eventually, someone else was thrown in along the way.

Alex was shocked when he saw this person because he knew her. She was none other than Empress Ghast.

“Alex?”

“Empress, why have you also come in?”

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3494

Alex was genuinely astonished this time.

Since Empress Ghast previously traveled through the Ancient Long River Passage, shouldn’t she be currently siding with the Yowell family?

“How did you manage to show up here, Empress? Did those folks harm you? Also, did my wife and the girls enter with you? Where are they?”

Alex wanted to get up but felt like his hands and feet weren’t his own. Despite this, he didn’t panic because he had the assassin’s mace. As long as he managed to call out the perverted woman who was the dark demonic lotus, everything would be resolved. However, the consequences would be much worse. Perhaps, he would have to kill 800 enemies and suffer 1,000 losses to himself.

Yet there was a way. He also had prior experience. The thirteen stars Hayley had left him were causing him problems. The seal was loosening and would soon be unlocked.

Empress Ghast fell to the ground and nearly knocked out her incisors. She looked at Alex and said angrily, “Why don’t you assist me? What kind of establishment is this? Did you visit Mist Valley? How did this ship get captured as well?”

When she saw Alex, her tense heart relaxed for some reason, enabling her to display a mocking expression.

“I can’t even get up by myself. How can I help you?” Alex cried.

Then, he looked at her clothes, which were still on her body. “It’s a good thing there weren’t any perverts on this boat, or things could be much worse.”

Empress Ghast stated, “Who claimed that no perverts exist? You are one! It’s great that you can still mock me. It shows your mind is still intact.”

Empress Ghast then revealed to Alex that she was the one who had been swept in.

The large army returned to the Yowell family side once Alex had left, but they were all more concerned about those tauren causing trouble, especially the former Bull Demon King, who certainly wouldn’t give up in peace. Indeed, they intended to control the Ancient Path and would undoubtedly return.

So the Yowell family and the group as a whole were prepared to form a large formation. However, some materials were required. Empress Ghast was out looking for formation materials, but she got lost in a void crack and ended up in this sea, where she met Madame Rouge’s boat, which was also directly caught in.

Alex finally laid his guard down when he realized that not everyone had arrived.

At the time, Princess Bea said, “You’ve got a lot of people, don’t you? Are they all on the Ancient Path? It’s strange that there are still human tribes outside Golden City.”

As a result, there were a few even stranger diggers over there. “Have you come from the Ancient Path?”

“Haven’t you guys?” Princess Bea inquired.

“Of course not. We’re from the Chi Universe. Isn’t it strange that the Ancient Path also leads to the Heavenly Ruins? Listening to her, it’s even stranger. One void rift, and you’re in. When did the Heavenly Ruins become so accessible?”

Alex was taken aback, “You’re from the Chi Universe, right? Are there many entrances to the Nine Yin Heavenly Ruin?”

“There must be something wrong with the Heavenly Ruin,” said the digging master, “Or such a situation would not be possible.”

However, no one could figure out what it was.

Alex was still perplexed. Phanes Ax had been the first to rush in, so where had he gone?

“How did you get in?” Empress Ghast inquired of Alex.

“It’s difficult to say,” Alex said, shaking his head.

“You, the number one person in the Diffracted Universe, actually had a time when you were in trouble,” the empress laughed.

“You are actually from the Diffracted Universe?” Bea was surprised once more. “The Diffracted Universe and the Ancient Path have closed their mouths long ago. How did you get in? We wanted to go to the Diffracted Universe, but we couldn’t! I heard that there was a big change and that Chi Universe giants wanted to find something and tried to get in!”

“What is it?” Alex inquired.

Bea wondered, “How would I know? The Universe’s giants are far away from us. Although, inadvertently, I heard my father mention it. A wave of tauren did indeed come some time ago, but I’m not sure whose men they wer

The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3495

As they chatted, the ship eventually came to a stop. The hatch opened, and Madame Rouge and her men approached.

Madame Rouge hardly gave Alex and the others a glance. To her, they appeared to be no different from ants.

Instead, she addressed a group of workers. “Devil’s Hill is here. Senior Lee, I’m still a reasonable person. You guys help me dig. Your mission will be accomplished as long as you open the mining channel and find the Witch Essence inside. I’ll send you back safely, and the residents of your Unicorn Fortress will also be safe and sound.”

“I have a request,” the elderly man remarked.

“Speak!”

“I want ten dominant lord-level experts to guard us the entire time. These guys are all too weak and do not even qualify as cannon fodder. When we enter the mine and problems arise, no one will help us block the enemy. You will be busy for nothing,” he said, pointing at Alex and the others.

“Yes!” seconded Madame Rouge.

“These few trash fishes are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, but it’s okay to be a weak chicken to scout the way,” the man continued.

Alex was overcome with sadness. The Diffracted Universe’s number one person had actually been reduced to this state. He was despised to be used as cannon fodder by someone.

“All right, everyone, get off the ship!”

Alex expected Devil’s Hill to be a mountain or something, but it wasn’t until he stepped outside the cabin that he realized he was still at the bottom of the sea, even deeper and darker than before. Good thing Madame Rouge’s people had prepared a light source that could illuminate the sea bottom. Hence, they dived all the way to the bottom.

The water pressure here was extremely high. If ordinary people did not cultivate, surviving in such an environment would be impossible. They would be crushed by the great pressure in an instant. As a result, the ban on Alex and the others was lifted.

Alex sighed quietly, not having finished the mysteries of the thirteen stars that Hayley had left for himself. This speed would be very slow if it relied solely on itself to operate and passively lift the seal.

Alex entered the area of Devil’s Hill. A number of old diggers came to a halt.

“Go on, what are you stopping for?” asked a man.

“This place… I’m afraid it’s forbidden. We can’t mine here!” said the old mine master.

Madame Rouge became enraged. “What forbidden territory? Even if it is a sinkhole, you must enter it and dig! Sam, keep an eye out for me. Whoever does not do something will be beheaded!”

Aggrieved, the old mining master stomped his foot, but there was no way out.

After a half-hour wait. A crowd gathered at Devil’s Hill mine pit.

Alex knew that just a short time ago, an ancient coffin had been dug out here, and inside it was a dressed-up female corpse whose flesh hadn’t decayed. But just a short time later, the female corpse mysteriously vanished, and the digger was cursed. Those who were at the mine during that time all died.

Those who were at the mine during that time all died. Not to mention the miners, even the dominant lord-level experts were unable to carry it, and seven died as a result.

Alex and others felt a tingle in their skulls when they heard this. The seawater-immersed mine shaft was black and dark, like a demon with its mouth open.

“It’s been a month. I’m wondering if the curse inside is still active?” Sam asked.

“First, let’s call a trash fish to come over and try,” Madame Rouge suggested.

“She’s the one!” she exclaimed as she swept her gaze over Empress Ghast.

When Empress Ghast heard that, her face whitened.
