Chapter - 2998

Aged Ginseng immediately handed the Ginseng Doll's seed to Zeke. “Please protect this seed for me. If I can't make it through this crisis, I'd appreciate it if you could pass the seed on to my clan. My people will take care of it until he grows up."

Zeke felt a wave of extremely complicated emotions. "Aged Ginseng, rest assured. From now on, the Ginsengs are a part of our human race. As long as I'm alive, I will never let anything happen to them."

That's a relief. Aged Ginseng chuckled contentedly. Then it contracted its body, completely enveloping Zeke and the others and leaving no gaps.

The Lotus Formation rapidly descended, relentlessly pressing down on Aged Ginseng. Aged Ginseng wailed continuously, its body emitting the sounds of cracking bones.

Even though Aged Ginseng helped Zeke and the others to block a majority of the pressure, Zeke and his companions still found it hard to breathe under the immense strain.

If this kind of pressure were to be put on an ordinary person, they would have been crushed to a pulp by now.

After the Lotus Formation expanded to a certain extent, there was a deep, thunderous boom. The Lotus Formation had exploded on the spot.

A powerful explosion erupted, causing the heaven and earth to crumble, and the void to tremble.

Even the clouds in the sky were blasted apart, creating a crack in the heavens.

As for Aged Ginseng, it was crushed on the spot.

Zeke and the others were blasted off and sent flying on the spot.

This turmoil continued for several minutes before it finally ceased.

Ahem! Ahem!

Zeke woke up from a violent coughing fit, only to be met with a desolate sight.

The massive explosion obliterated everything in its path.

The only thing left intact was Terrachus Tower, as expected from a Sky Level divine weapon.

What came into view next was a field scattered with fragments of ginseng.

Aged Ginseng was completely dead. Its body and head separated, and it was a sight of extreme tragic heroism.

Looking at the others, their bodies were more or less intact. However, they were covered in wounds from head to toe, and their skin was marred beyond recognition. It was hard to tell whether they were dead or alive.

Theos' physical form had fallen. The Lotus Formation's explosion had caused Theos himself to suffer a tremendous backlash. He was continuously spitting blood, and his figure had become extremely weak.

As for Tiger King, he was atop the Terrachus Tower, exerting all his strength to break the seal.

Yet, the seal on Terrachus Tower was so strong that Tiger King was unable to break it for a moment.

"We still have a chance!" Zeke gritted his teeth, gathering all his strength to stand up.

Just as he stood up, he noticed a gush of blood flowing from his chest.

It turned out that a large hole was blasted in his chest, and the pain was unbearable.

But he couldn't care less about the pain he was in now. He struggled to move step by step toward Tiger King. "Tiger King, I'm not dead yet. If you have the guts, fight me for five hundred rounds.”

Tiger King was struggling to break the seal. He had no mind to pay attention to Zeke.

He merely remarked casually. "You sure are a lucky one, still alive and kicking. But looking at you now, I'm afraid you're done for, aren't you? Theos, stop him. I'll be able to lift the seal really soon."

With a single cough, Theos surprisingly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Tiger King, hurry up. I-I can't hold on for much longer...”

As Theos spoke, he mustered all his strength and stepped forward to stop Zeke.

Two battered warriors confronted each other, and a fierce battle ensued.

The extent of their injuries was nearly identical, and their combat abilities were not vastly different. As a result, their fight was almost evenly matched.

However, this small battle didn't last. long. Suddenly, a furious roar echoed, followed by a dramatic change in the sky and earth. Dark clouds rolled in and gathered, thunder roared, and the wind howled wildly.

Almost instinctively, Zeke and Theos ceased their battle. They shifted their gazes toward Terrachus Tower.

Tiger King had unsealed Terrachus Tower, causing it to tremble violently. From within, the continuous roars of wild beasts could be heard.

Just the sound of the roars alone was enough to make one's heart tremble in fear.

One could just imagine how ferocious the suppressed demonic beast must be.

Roar!

In the next moment, many enormous and ferocious demonic beasts-which radiated a deadly black aura-burst forth in a wild rush and charged in all directions.

Suddenly, this place turned into a world of demonic beasts.

Everyone didn't dare to make a sound. They lay on the ground, not daring to move at all.
