Chapter - 2949

As he swallowed that sliver of blade energy, Zeke could clearly feel the dragon vein black hole growing bigger, but it was still only slightly thicker than a strand of hair.

This is not enough. It's far from enough! Zeke clenched his teeth and again. opened the dragon vein black hole to absorb the blade energy.

Whoosh!

Similarly, as soon as the dragon vein black hole made contact with the blade energy, it was instantly filled.

Zeke immediately closed the dragon vein black close.

Then, he fainted on the spot.

The pain was really unbearable, causing him to wish he was dead.

After some time, Zeke regained consciousness.

Almost instinctively, he confronted the blade energy.

Whoosh!

Zeke blacked out again but soon woke up and re-challenged the blade energy.

Regardless of how tormenting the process was, Zeke had to persevere. If I give in, the woman I love will die. If I give up, my comrades and friends will die. If I admit defeat, the human race may go extinct!

Any one of those reasons did not allow him a sliver of chance to slack off.

Just like that, after countless repetitions, the dragon vein within Zeke had grown as thick as an artery.

Zeke's body was in such severe pain that it felt like he was being torn apart.

Despite thinking that suffering was already beyond the limit of the physical body, he still withstood the hardship unwaveringly. I must persist and get stronger. As long as I don't die, I'll do my best to strengthen my dragon vein.

In the end, just as he absorbed a bit of the blade energy, it suddenly lit up, expanded, and then exploded.

The powerful explosion caused Zeke to go into shock and fall unconscious.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Zeke woke up feeling turbulent.

Wrenching pain spread throughout his body.

Still, he couldn't help but ask, "Lacey....Where's Lacey?"

"Zeke, Lacey is fine." It was Sole Wolf's voice that sounded. "Don't worry. All of us are all right."

King of Dragons chimed in, "Nonsense. I endured severe injuries and was cut in half, yet you tell him everyone is fine? Zeke, you must compensate me. I demand only three spirit pills. That's a bargain for you."

Phew! Zeke let out a long sigh of relief, feeling glad that everyone was safe.

King of Dragons uttered, “I'm talking to you. Do you hear me? Answer me."

Zeke was in too much pain to talk, so he couldn't be bothered to reply to King of Dragons.

Only after adjusting his internal energy could he barely open his eyes.

At that moment, everyone hadn't left the canyon yet and was still running within the area.

Sole Wolf panted heavily, carrying Zeke on his back the whole time.

Meanwhile, Quinlan enveloped Lacey in his energy and dragged her along as she hovered next to Zeke.

Noticing Zeke regaining his senses, Lacey hurriedly wiped the dust on his forehead with her heart aching. "Zeke, how are you feeling now?"

Zeke forced a smile. "Lacey, I'm fine."

Lacey sighed. "You say that, but your face is covered in blood."

Quinlan complained, "What's the matter with you two? How are you still in the mood for a public display of affection during such a critical juncture? Hurry up and run. If we don't escape, all of us will die when the next wave of blade energy strikes."

Zeke flashed an apologetic smile and fell silent.

He shut his eyes to feel the state of his dragon vein. It was now as thick as a blood vessel and contained infinite power.

As for how formidable that power was, Zeke couldn't be sure. All he knew was that it was profoundly potent.

He felt he was several dozen times, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than before he developed the dragon vein. Is this the difference in strength between Sun and Moon Class and Celestial Class?

The dragon vein was equivalent to Zeke's spirit pill. With the pill, he was now considered a Sun and Moon Class warrior.

At that moment, Zeke noticed Ossa Dei was fashioning a connection to the dragon vein with blood vessels.

He hastily asked, "Ossa Dei, what are you doing?"

Ossa Dei replied, "I'm establishing a direct energy connection with the dragon vein. This way, I can directly draw power from the dragon vein and maximize the utilization of its power."

Zeke nodded. “Okay."

After sprinting for an hour, they finally managed to leave the canyon.
