The Pinnacle Of Life

“The experts are here!” the empress said to Edgar as she looked up.

Right after her voice fell, they saw a dense crowd. It was not people, but a group of... Demons!
They were led by a huge crow. Having a human face, a crow’s nostrils and a bird’s body, it looked sleepy with its squinty eyes.
“Hmph! I was wondering who it was. So, it’s Empress Ghast!” The crow recognized Empress Ghast. “If you were in the nether
realm, I really couldn’t do anything about you. However, this is Dairaionji Temple. You’ve come to the wrong place! Once you’re
here, you can only yield! Empress Ghast, your cultivation is hard to come by and you have the body of a female. I ask of you...
Are you willing to become my cultivation partner?”
Empress Ghast burst into a peal of laughter. “Hahaha! What a joke! A pitch-black birdman like you wishes to many me? Even
Africans look ten thousand times better than you.”
Edgar was surprised. “Empress, you actually know Africa?”
Edgar

Empress Ghast said, “Before I became Empress Ghast, I lived in Africa for a while and did business there.”
“You actually did international trade over there?”
“You’re overthinking. I was just searching for treasures and digging for gold there. I have a knack for treasure digging.”
“Empress, let’s partner up next time.”
“No need. I’m not short of gold right now.”
“We can go to the Ancient Path to dig the Witch Mine.”
Empress Ghast’s eager eyes immediately widened. “It’s settled then!”

The Crow Cultivator was imp atient. “Perhaps you think I’m non-existent, while you’re lovey-dovey in front of me. Empress
Ghast, do you agree or not? Otherwise, you will pay for this!”
“To hell with it! I’ll sever your crow head!”
Indeed a strong woman and a deft swordswoman, Empress Ghast unsheathed her sword, meaning every word. When the sword
struck, the environment changed and the world was devoid of light.
However...
Clank!
A clear sound rang out. The Crow Cultivator had intercepted the empress’s sword with its claws.
Its claws were sheared with covers that were full of brilliance. It did not seem to be an ordinary item at a glance.
“Caw! Caw!” The Crow Cultivator let out a strange laugh and said to Empress Ghast. “How’s that? Now you know how powerful I
am, right? I can acquire the blessing of laws and energy at Dairaionji Temple, but you, a woman from the nether realm, happens
to be the target. You won’t even be able to take a blow from me in this place. Do you believe me?”
After saying that, the Crow Cultivator stirred up a gust, sending Empress Ghast flying at once.
The empress did not believe in that nonsense. She made her move. However, she was dismayed at the result. She had been
restrained after coming to this place. Thus, as she unleashed the last blow, Edgar held her with one hand and dispelled the
energy from her body. He then said, “Take a break! Let me do it!”

“Can you do it?” the empress asked.
“How can you ask a man this question?” Edgar replied.

The empress spat disdainfully.
Meanwhile, Edgar directly lunged toward the Crow Cultivator.

Alex
“Haha! You have a death wish! I can show mercy to Empress Ghast, but I will kill a nasty man like you with one blow!”
It waved its hand and drew a burst of energy that rolled toward Barne.
Barne.
Alex.
Edgar could instantly feel that it was a law or an order belonging to Dairaionji Temple. However, the Crow Cultivator had clearly
misjudged when he tried to bind him with the law of Dairaionji Temple.
Edgar
Alex
He was the master of Dairaionji Temple!
Whoosh!
The law changed, backfiring at the Crow Cultivator. When the Crow Cultivator felt something was wrong, Edgar quickly
beheaded the creature.
Edgar
Alex
Caw!
“I’m dead? Why is this happening?”
The Crow Cultivator was dead, with a grievance, no doubt
