Ch. 3531..3538: [Finale]
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3531
However, the suction was disrupted. People who flew up fell back down. The sensation that everyone was about to float away vanished as well.
Soon, the audience witnessed an incomparably amazing scene.
In a nearby world, a massive dragon was being pulled. It roared and resisted but to no avail. It finally plunged into the grimstone, where it was instantly ground into flesh and blood… Those flesh and blood fell from the grimstone but seemed to fall into some strange channel. They vanished.
Then, there were more living things…
Due to the distance, the average person could not see those small living creatures unless they cultivated their eyes with spiritual power to a certain level. However, a large number of creatures were sucked into the grimstone and ground into flesh and blood. There was no shortage of powerful and mighty individuals among them. Even mortals could see the situation clearly with the naked eye.
Agatha hovered in the air, and her expression solemn.
This was an extremely dangerous situation. Someone was playing a game, sacrificing a sea of lives.
Who on earth possessed such great power?
Furthermore, the force field above the earth’s atmosphere would not last long. The consequences would be unimaginable if it did. There was an issue with one of the nodes above the forcefield. This would create a breach and disintegrate the forcefield from node to node.
“Everyone, cultivators above the Immortalization stage, rush out and pour energy into the ancient defense force field, or else the entire earth‘s living beings, just like those living beings, will be ground into blood and flesh for sacrifice!”
“Quick, quick, quick!” Agatha’s voice rang out across the world.
Soon after, all of Mount Yukon’s experts took to the skies. Following that, human figures rushed up into the sky from countless holy places, schools, and even streets and alleys.
This was a life-or-death situation, and there was no room for selfishness. Finally, the forcefield was re-stabilized.
Agatha, too, became aware of Grand Emperor Rowan’s breathing.
‘Is it you, husband, who is finally returning?’ Agatha was overjoyed.
She had some kind of mysterious connection with Grand Emperor Rowan, but she was obviously mistaken. Grand Emperor Rowan did not return, but the Ancient Divinity had long ago laid a big picture in the Diffracted Universe. At this time, after the sacrifice began, their location had formed some kind of dimensional channel with this side with the help of the grimstone altar. As a result, it could be felt.
***
Following the sacrifice…
All of that flesh and blood then flowed into the Ancient Divinity.
“Good, the sacrifice has begun. Help me refine the body of the Fiend Lord,” the Ancient Divinity laughed.
Buzz…
Through the medium of blood and flesh, the sacrifice of the living created massive, mysterious energy that rushed towards the point where Alex and the Fiend Lord’s flesh were united.
The grimstone sacrificing the living was literally right in front of his eyes.
Alex watched with furious eyes. He saw the earth, where countless people were desperately trying to protect the ancient forcefield, including Agatha, his sons and daughters, and his loved ones.
Roar!
“You better hurry up, Fiend Lord fusion!”
He couldn’t let this sacrifice go on because the Earth would be destroyed. However, he didn’t feel quite right at the moment. The Ancient Divinity and the others’ refinement of him made him feel threatened. His mind palace couldn’t take it any longer and burst open first, and the Ancestral Bodhi Tree inside was refined out and left his mind palace.
“Holy sh*t! This is going to kill me!”
Then, an even more terrifying scene appeared. The Painting of Mountains, Rivers, Lands, and Grains was refined, and Dorothy, Daya, Grand Emperor Rowan, and others who were hidden within all fell out.
“This… What exactly is this?”
“They’re sacrificing the living beings of the entire Diffracted Universe. Stop them!” Quinirus exclaimed.
“I’ll go!”
“Agatha! I see Agatha. The Earth is in peril! Come on, let’s fight!”
“Break the Six Eternities for me!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3533
Autumn fell to the ground and was grabbed by Brittany. William, on the other hand, was immediately sucked out when the suction force was restored.
“Husband!”
“Grandpa!”
Brittany and Autumn wept as they watched William enter the grimstone and transform into flesh and blood.
“Dad…”
“Dad!”
This was also seen by Dorothy, Daya, and Alex. They were taken aback all at once.
Alex roared!
It had been so difficult for him to find his father and restore him to normalcy, and for all these years, he had been away, and he hadn’t had time to honor his filial piety properly. In the end, he had actually gone like that.
“I want your life, Ancient Divinity, you son of a bitch!”
Boom! Boom!
Fiend Lord’s heart was beating faster and faster. The fusion still continued as it still needed time. The energy of those flesh and blood was stopping him, destroying him. The dark demonic lotus in his body was a little untenable.
***
At this time… Earth…
The node of destruction grew in size as more living beings passed through it, flew out into the grimstone, transformed into flesh and blood, and vanished.
“Amitabha! Who else will go to hell if not me?” Arhat, who had a golden body, rushed up.
Other golden bodies appeared immediately after that. Eighteen Arhats reappeared. They flew up to the gap, forming a human formation, and used human flesh to seal it. The Buddha’s light shone as a Buddhist sound filled the air. Those who had been sucked in breathed a sigh of relief as they regained their freedom.
It did not, however, last long.
The Eighteen Arhats were exhausted. They were eventually dragged out of the gap and thrown into the blood and flesh grimstone.
“I’m coming!” Another powerful figure appeared, and it was Saria.
Saria formed a formation, and wind blades rushed to the sky, crossing the gap. However, the sword formation roared after three minutes and was destroyed by the grimstone. It was about to be crushed in the grimstone.
Agatha appeared out of nowhere and pulled her.
“Go, Holy Rabbit!”
“Heavenly Mushrooms!”
“Immortal-slaying Sword Formation!”
Poof!
Agatha used great divine power to close the gap, but she couldn’t last long because she had already consumed a lot.
The Ancient Divinity noticed it over there. The Earth was what Grand Emperor Rowan and the others cared about.
“Well, since that‘s the case, let’s start by destroying the world you care about!”
He approached the earth while manipulating the flesh and blood grimstone. The energy of sacrifice increased dramatically in an instant. The Holy Rabbit was soon unable to hold on and burst into pieces. As a sacrificial power wrapped around Agatha, she spat out blood…
“Husband, goodbye forever!” Agatha sent a voice towards Grand Emperor Rowan, and the grimstone swallowed her.
“Ahh!” Grand Emperor Rowan exclaimed.
The void gate that controlled the Six Eternities slammed through.
Bang! Boom!
The Six Eternities’ void gate exploded over the altar. There was an immediate rush of people.
“What? Self-destructive Six Eternities?!”
The explosion also blew away several Eternals, and the Ancient Divinity was enraged, “Kill these ants first!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3534
Grand Emperor Rowan brought momentary relief to Earth through the self-destruction of the Six Eternities. Those who were about to be sucked into the grindstone broke free from the restraints. Moreover, that huge grindstone faded away gradually and disappeared.
“Ha! The grindstone is gone! It’s over! Great!”
The people on Earth, especially those who had a narrow escape, shouted joyfully and hugged each other. Even if the men and women were unacquainted, they embraced each other excitedly. However, someone started crying shortly afterward because several nodes of the force field were broken, and at least a million living beings were sucked out of Earth before they were thrown into the grindstone and ground into flesh and blood.
Someone powerful like Agatha sacrificed her life for the greater good. Even Saria failed to escape. She was also sucked into the grindstone after Agatha. Everyone was in great sorrow. Even so, the great crisis hadn’t yet been averted.
Grand Emperor Rowan, the Phoenix Empress, Dorothy, and others were the most dangerous now.
After the Six Eternities disappeared, the minions below were no longer afraid of being turned into pigs. Furthermore, Eternal powerhouses were taking the lead this time. Since it was not that coward, Bull Demon King, everyone became more courageous naturally.
“Just kill!”
“Immortal Root Gourd, suck them!”
As the top-ranked man in the ancient era, Grand Emperor Rowan’s magical treasure certainly wasn’t limited to the Six Eternities. At that moment, he took out a more mysterious magical treasure, a mountain-sized gourd. As soon as it appeared, it sucked in the two onrushing Eternal powerhouses and over a hundred Eonian powerhouses.
“Heaven, Phantasm, Law, Virtue, Blessing, Treasure, Emperor, Order!” Grand Emperor Rowan lashed out a series of seals with his hand.
The Immortal Root Gourd he controlled would refine all the people inside.
“The Primordial Gourd that grew on the Primordial Tree when Phanes created the world?”
The Primeval Lord of Heaven was stunned. He became envious as soon as he saw this magical treasure.
The remaining Eternal said immediately, “Primeval Lord, keep controlling the sacrificial altar. I will deal with those people.”
“You can’t deal with them alone. I’ll do it,” the Primeval Lord of Heaven replied.
In fact, he wanted to forcibly take possession of the Immortal Root Gourd. Now that no new flesh-and -blood offerings were supplied to Alex, he finally had a chance to catch his breath. The Fiend Lord’s fusion had reached 70%, and countless things appeared in his mind-memories sealed inside the body of the Fiend Lord.
Alex seemed to understand many principles in an instant. The supreme theories of the world that he did not understand before became clear as if he was enlightened.
‘Fiend Lord! I’m the Fiend Lord!’
“Hahahal I’m back at last! Yukina… Where is Yukina?! Can I wait until Yukina shows up?”
A woman appeared in Alex’s mind. That woman, dressed in white, was sitting on a stone bench under a towering peach blossom tree while waiting for him.
“No! Absolutely not! I’ve waited for you over countless years! How can you be so fuzzy?”
Roar!
Alex let out an earth-shattering roar. The sound wave he generated sounded like an explosion of ten thousand tons of TNT and the entire space seemed to have collapsed, causing everyone present in a complete mess.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven shouted, “This is bad! The Fiend Lord is going to awaken! We can’t delay any longer! Brahma Lord, go and save the people! I’ll control the sacrificial altar! Be quick, or else all the efforts will be in vain!”
The Primeval Lord of Heaven stopped coveting the Immortal Root Gourd, returning to the original position, and summoned two boys and two girls. They sat next to him and assisted him in controlling the sacrificial altar. Shortly afterward, the huge grindstone in the space of the diffracted universe appeared again.
The living beings in the diffracted universe were shocked. They thought the calamity was over at first, but to their astonishment, it happened again.
The Eternal powerhouse, Brahma Lord, glanced at Alex.
Knowing that any further delay was no longer allowed, he spat out incantations at once. They were mountain-huge and bigger than the Immortal Root Gourd. Instead of attacking the Immortal Root Gourd, he first charged at Grand Emperor Rowan to defeat him.
He was an Eternal!
No matter how fast Grand Emperor Rowan leveled up, he was at Intermediate-Eonian Realm at best.
How could he block the attack?
Poof!
When the first incantation pressed down on him, he was injured and vomited blood. The Immortal Gourd also trembled.
The second incantation pressed down…
“Wheel of Fate!”
The Goddess of Fate, Quinirus, lashed out a wheel, but the gap between their strength was too huge. The Wheel of Fate shattered right away. Quinirus spat out blood and fell to the ground. Her face was white as a sheet.
The third incantation…
The Phoenix Empress manifested her main body, the towering fiery phoenix.
The Brahma Lord scoffed. “How dare you block me when you are just like petty creatures? Go to hell!”
After he lashed out the incantation, he condensed a sword and slashed through the air.
Woo! Boom!
This sword was too powerful. Quinirus, in white clothes and white armor, intercepted the attack with the lance.
Poof!
It was an instant kill!
The Goddess of Fate just died like that.
“Quinirus, Sis Quinirus…”
When Grand Emperor Rowan opened his eyes and saw his beloved woman die again, he was broken-hearted, but it did not take long before he heard Phoenix’s shout. She also manifested her main body and endured the Brahma Lord’s sword along with her mother, the Phoenix Empress.
Boom!
The earth shook, and mountains trembled.
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3536
Alex realized that he was trapped. He had ants in his pants. Dorothy, Phoenix, Shelly, Grand Emperor Rowan, and his family were outside… Since he was trapped here, they could be in danger.
“Break it!” He grabbed the Phanes Ax and struck forcefully, but to his surprise, it was as if he was hitting cotton, he could not exert any strength.
“Calm down! Calm down! No hurry! This is Phanes Banner, an existence on the same level as the Phanes Ax. It won’t work if I strike it forcefully…”
At that moment, the huge grimstone kept moving in the diffracted universe, and countless living beings were ground into flesh and blood. This time, the living beings on Earth could no longer withstand the grimstone and were continuously sucked into it. Currently, the entire diffracted universe was going to end in deadlock, as if the final result had been predetermined.
Death and extinction seemed to be the final way.
‘Ah! That’s right. I understand it. The three thousand great spells and the completion of a grand spell!’
Alex figured it out and began to stack the three thousand great spells.
“The Great Flame Spell!”
“The Great Icebound Spell!”
“The Great Storm Spell!”
“The Great Void Spell!”
“The Great Seal Spell!”
“The Great Silence Spell!”
“The Great Reincarnation Spell!”
“The Great Summoning Spell!”
“The Great Resurrection Spell!”
“The Spell of Great Fate!”
“The Great Giant Roc Spell!”
“The Great Gravity Spell”
“The Great Nightmare Spell!”
“The Great Mirror Spell!”
“The Great Cover Spell!”
“The Great Swallow Spell!”
And so on…
All three thousand great spells in the world were stacked together, leading to completion. At that moment, he suddenly had enlightenment about life, death, fate, heavenly law, and everything in the universe!
“Heaven and Earth’s Drive!”
Boom!
A loud noise was heard. The dark Phanes Realm was severed. The Primeval Lord of Heaven, who controlled the Phanes Realm, wouldn’t stop vomiting blood. He could no longer control the Flesh Grimstone. After Alex unleashed the move, Heaven and Earth’s Drive, and punched through the sacrificial altar, the Flesh Grimstone also exploded from the energy blast.
The Flesh Grimstone was destroyed!
The moment the grimstone was destroyed, the Primeval Lord of Heaven’s body froze abruptly and began to crack, as if some kind of mysterious energy was acting on his body.
He refused to resign to his fate as he looked at Alex. “My arrangement in my entire life is ruined suddenly! The Phanes Realm is the primordial chaos of the created world. How did you manage to break it? Have you… Comprehended the Everlasting Realm?”
Alex said coldly, “You should ask this question in hell… No, you won’t have the chance to know it!”
The Primeval Lord of Heaven started cracking and turned into pieces.
Thud!
Alex knelt on the ground. His entire body was almost out of strength, but he knew he must not collapse.
“Dorothy and Phoenix…”
Alex forced himself to rise to his feet quickly and search for their figures. Consequently, he trembled all over upon taking a look. Everything around him seemed particularly quiet. The void was probably broken due to the great battle, and all the seawater here evaporated. Corpses were lying at sixes and sevens in front of him. There were corpses of enemies and his allies.
The towering sword that was stuck on the ground was the most conspicuous thing. It was slanted, but the blade was bloodstained. When he looked at the blade closely, a wretched man who drew his last breath was embedded in it.
The Great Sword Sovereign!
It was the last Eternal among the nine Eternals, but he died by the hands of his own sword.
“Who was it? Father-in-law…”
It seemed that he could think of it without seeing it with his own eyes. Trembling, he identified the corpses on the ground. However, there were many disfigured and damaged corpses.
Eventually, he saw a white-clothed light-type archmage, Hannah, lying quietly on the ground at that moment. She had depleted her life force.
“Mother-in-law…”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3537
Alex burst into tears when she saw the Phoenix Empress. She was still protecting Phoenix firmly at the final moment of her life…
“Honey! Dorothy… They are dead! They are all dead!” Alex pulled his hair out, completely unable to accept such a result.
He did not know how long he used the last move, but it seemed like a century had passed outside the Phanes Realm. ‘There is no one left. What’s the point of living when I am the only one left?’
He held Dorothy with one hand and Phoenix with the other hand, whereas Shelly was lying next to his feet. He shed tears and bawled sorrowfully.
Just then, a ray of light flashed…
A crystal-clear stone suddenly exploded at the scene, and someone popped out… It was Grand Emperor Rowan who was drenched in blood. He did not die. He was still alive.
Looking at him, Alex cried louder. Immediately afterward, an even louder cry sounded around him.
Grand Emperor Rowan was crying. Nothing was more painful in this world than having his beloved ones dead while he was still alive.
Grand Emperor Rowan was alive because Hannah turned him into a diamond with light mystic art at the final moment. He avoided the massacre, but she ended up dead with the Great Sword Sovereign with her last breath.
Three days later, Alex and Grand Emperor Rowan carried their women’s corpses and left the Eye of Nine Yin. They returned to Earth after another three days, but what came into sight left the two men in a daze for a moment.
America was still original America, and Earth was still the original Earth, but where were the people?
Not even a soul was left. They all disappeared.
“Mom! Son, Daughter! Daddy is back!”
Only Alex’s fool-like voice drifted over the quiet Mount Yukon.
They searched every corner of the world, but not a single living person was found. Even the Ancient Path was completely silent.
Three months later, Alex knelt at the top of Mount Yukon and said to Grand Emperor Rowan, “Father-in-law, give me a sword. I can’t stand it any longer.”
Grand Emperor Rowan stared blankly at the sky. “If l give you a sword, who can give me a sword? When the time comes, I won’t even have a companion to cry with…”
Alex said, “I can’t cry anymore. My tears have dried up…”
Grand Emperor Rowan said, “You can howl. Look, I have been howling for a month. Even my throat is bleeding…”
The two men howled as they knelt on top of Mount Yukon. They sounded more unpleasant than a ghost’s wail.
After howling for an hour, they both jumped off the mountain.
Boom! Boom!
They both had restrained their abilities and crashed to the ground with their bodies. Two large craters were formed on the ground.
However, Alex roared after a few seconds, “Why?! Why can’t I die even when I want to? What’s the point of living? Can I reproduce with a ten-thousand-year old man?”
Grand Emperor Rowan rolled over and looked at the sky. “Don’t slander me. You are the Fiend Lord, many billions of years older than me. I even find you are old and clumsy. Why did my daughter… My daughter…”
Grand Emperor Rowan’s vision blurred again when he thought of his daughter. It was blood.
At that moment, he suddenly saw a face appearing in the sky.
“What’s that? An illusion?”
A sound rang out all of a sudden…
Bang! Boom!
Alex and Grand Emperor Rowan jumped up instantly. “What’s that sound?”
Grand Emperor Rowan said, “It seems to be… Some kind of very ancient sound.”
Alex said immediately, “It’s the sound of a sports car…”
Then, they both saw a red sports car traversing across the distant horizon, but it was not fast at all compared to Instant Teleportation and the like. They both activated their primordial eyes immediately, trying to find out the identity of the driver. As a result, they saw nothing. Surprisingly, that car managed to avoid both their primordial eyes.
After a full five minutes, the sports car stopped next to the two people via a drifting technique. The car door was pushed open. A man with a white suit, a straw hat, and sunglasses came out of the car.
Both of them were wide-eyed.
After Grand Emperor Rowan saw the man take off his glasses and hat, he looked shocked. “Blaine?”
Alex shouted abruptly, “Ancestor?”
The one who arrived turned out to be… Blaine Rockefeller!
Looking at the two wretched men, Blaine shook his head and said, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can’t believe you guys are in this state. It’s really inelegant!”
He looked particularly at Alex. “Idiot! You met Yukina again after so many years, but why do you still not understand it?”
Alex was puzzled for a moment. Then, he came to his senses suddenly. “You are… I remember! You are the last Everlasting Being! Master, I hereby pay my respects to you!”
The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 3538
The Fiend Lord’s mentor was Blaine Rockefeller.
However…
Grand Emperor Rowan was puzzled. “You are the last Everlasting Being? But we were sworn brothers 10,000 years ago, weren’t we?”
Blaine smiled and fished out a box of cigars. “Would you like one?”
***
After a moment, the three people smoked at the foot of Mount Yukon. Blaine suddenly spewed out a puff of smoke. He then tapped the cigar lightly and said, “Samsara, life, soul, matter, universe, void…”
That puff of smoke evolved. Eventually, be snapped his fingers and said, “Women!”
The smoke turned into Daya’s life-like appearance. She was a real person.
Stunned for a moment, Alex rushed over and hugged Daya immediately.
Daya touched Alex’s face. “Hubby, am I still alive?”
“I… I don’t know either.”
After Alex said that, he kissed her passionately.
Blaine snapped his fingers again, and Daya disappeared instantly.
“This is…”
“Idiot!” Blaine flicked the ash off his cigar. “Do you still not understand it?”
Alex looked at Blaine, “Master, did you… Create Daya? No, did you create this diffracted universe and three thousand worlds?”
Blaine replied, “Yes, and no! I can help you guys resurrect all the loved ones you have lost and retain their memories and personalities exactly the same as before. They will never change!”
He snapped his fingers again. Women and men appeared one after another.
Dorothy Assex, Hayley Hanson, Daya Stoermer, William Rockefeller, Autumn Rockefeller, Brittany Rockefeller… The Phoenix Empress, Chantelle Seay, Agatha Haisley, Quinirus Schranz, Phoenix Rowan…
They looked completely the same before death.
“But, can they really be the same?”
Blaine sighed after he said that as if he was also troubled.
That was right! Could the ones he created be the same as the original ones?”
One would always feel uncomfortable. Were they still humans? They were robots!
“Humans’ souls are the most inscrutable and cannot be replicated. This is the arcanum of everlasting life. If you guys want to regain your loved ones, there is only one way, to cross the Everlasting Door. My current abilities are not as good as yours, but the two of you are enough to open the Everlasting Door…”
Grand Emperor Rowan was shocked. “You are already an Everlasting Being. How can your abilities not be as good as ours?”
Blaine smiled mysteriously. “You guys will understand it.”
***
A month later, Alex and Grand Emperor joined forces and opened up the Everlasting Door successfully.
Grand Emperor Rowan said to Alex, “If we meet again after crossing the door, I will buy you a drink.”
Alex said, “I kinda miss you. How about we kiss goodbye?!”
“You! Get lost!”
Alex was pushed into the Everlasting Door. Unexpectedly, Alex hooked Grand Emperor with a foot, dragging him in.
***
“The Everlasting Door. I must succeed. I must…” Alex muttered to himself. Eventually, that sticky-like sense of oppression vanished, but the next second, a strong wind blew on his face. He reached out and grabbed it without a second thought.
It was too weak!
To his surprise, he opened his eyes and saw a piece of chalk.
“Huh? Where is this place? Who am I?”
When he turned his head to take a look, what he saw shocked him. “Hayley..? Hayley Hanson..?”
Hayley, dressed in a school uniform, was sitting next to him. She looked at him with concern and whispered, “Blockhead, What are you doing? How dare you sleep in English class? Miss Assex is going to kill you…”
Alex could not care less about Miss Assex. As his eyes were red-rimmed, he hugged her and said, “Hayley, I thought I lost you for the rest of my life. Boo-boo…”
“Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing? Let go of me!”
“I won’t… I’ll never!”
“Miss Assex is here…”
“Who is Miss Assex?” Alex quivered as soon as he looked up. “Dorothy… Assex? Honey! Boo-hoo!”
Alex let go of Hayley. He then hugged Dorothy, whose face was livid, and kissed her… The classmates around him were stunned.
‘Alex Rockefeller… He is being possessed, isn’t he?’
After Miss Assex was kissed in public, she flew into a rage and slapped Alex. Alex turned his head and saw a huge advertising poster outside the window…
[The teenage soul singer, Daya Stoermer, has advanced to the world’s top eight…]
‘Huh? Why do I feel like something is wrong? Is this the arcanum of everlasting life that Master was talking about? I crossed the time boundary, and everything started from the beginning, but… Why has Dorothy become a teacher? How am I going to woo her? It’s a love triangle right from the start… Ah… Whatever! Anyway, none of you can escape!’
“Miss Assex, wait for me! I’d like to attend a remedial class for sex education, ah no, I mean English…”
