Chapter - 3407

Both of them had seen that the depraved human spirit could have resisted in the end. However, he had opted to forsake his struggle, merely gazing intently at the figure Anvindr had impersonated as though reflecting upon a memory.

He had had a shred of consciousness left.

His consciousness was considerably stronger than the Flying Lion's, which they had hunted before, clearly indicating that he possessed wisdom.

He had dedicated his final moments to supporting Zeke and his team of humans and did not leave any words behind.

However, in the end, Zeke and the others could also sense the relief in the regret that filled him after his downfall.

Anvindr, Vela, and Frostine didn't press for details, but Zeke and Elvis still took it upon themselves to explain the situation in detail to them, including their speculations.

"He was a formidable individual among humans, who maintained a clear consciousness even in the final moments. However, I suspect that consciousness wouldn't have lasted long, or else he wouldn't have chosen to give up the struggle. If he hadn't given up the fight, the battle could have lasted much longer. We might have paid a heavy price. It wouldn't have been as easy as it just was."

Upon listening to that, Anvindr, Vela, and Frostine came to an understanding.

Everyone looked at the heaven's energy in Zeke's hand, feeling a sense of discomfort in their hearts. They just couldn't bring themselves to be happy.

After a lengthy silence, Zeke finally said, "Let's not dwell in sorrow. This elder has unfortunately turned into a depraved spirit. Assisting in his liberation was the right thing to do. He left us with heaven's energy, intending for us to grow stronger."

As he spoke, he evenly distributed heaven's energy among everyone.

"Absorb it!"

Elvis let out a sigh, picked up his share of heaven's energy, and began to meditate in order to absorb it.

Others weren't idle either. They began to take away and absorb their share of heaven's energy.

By nightfall, everyone had finally finished absorbing, their strength growing increasingly formidable.

Zeke, especially, had already reached the peak of mid-stage.

He found that the previous awkwardness of using spiritual energy had completely vanished. In its place was an unparalleled smoothness. He was now able to execute any moves in an extremely short amount of time, and the energy consumption had also significantly decreased.

The elixir field within him had significantly expanded, capable of accommodating even more spiritual energy.

This highlighted the terrifying aspect of accumulated power, something not even the most accomplished cultivators at the peak of Sun and Moon Class could compare with.

Zeke had a distinct impression that his power would become even more formidable when he reached the late stage.

Everyone around him had also noticed something different about him, their eyes revealing a mix of surprise and intrigue.

"Zeke, now that you've reached the peak of mid-stage, you seem different from other cultivators," Elvis said in astonishment. "I can sense that your current strength is probably enough to overpower me."

"Overpower you?" Zeke chuckled. "Elvis, your abilities are far from lacking. My strength has merely improved a little."

Elvis shook his head. "You're being too modest. I can tell, you must be deliberately holding back your spiritual energy, slowing your own progress. Otherwise, you would have reached the peak of mid-stage long ago."

"All right, you can stop flattering me now."

Zeke decided not to continue the discussion. Instead, he pulled out some formation flags and handed them over to Anvindr.

"Anvindr, I reckon you're running low on your formation flags. I only have this much left. If it's not enough, we might have to trade with others."

Indeed, as Zeke had mentioned, Anvindr was running low on formation flags.

Setting up a large formation twice had consumed a lot of formation flags.

One by one, the others also began to hand over the few remaining formation flags they had to Anvindr.

Anvindr did not reject them and accepted everything.

After stowing away the flags, Anvindr stated earnestly, "I can set up two more formations with the formation flags everyone gave me.”
