Chapter - 3509

"The Demonic Lotus Petals are now all on you. We've asked Vesper, and she said she's already handed over all the Demonic Lotus to Wade. So, it's safe to say that you must be in possession of all the Demonic Lotus Petals now. We too possess some of it. When the time comes to gather all the top prodigies, we will surely be able to gather the Demonic Lotuses."

Gathering the Demonic Lotuses?

Zeke frowned. "Why should we gather them? It won't be too late to gather them after the Secret Realm of Mount Kush is closed. If we form the Demonic Lotus now, who should we entrust it to for safekeeping?"

Caught off guard by the question, Blaze responded with a hint of helplessness, "But you hold the most Demonic Lotuses. If you don't share some with us, who can trust you?"

Zeke laughed.

Surprisingly, Blaze was still trying to take what was his at such a time.

"Sorry, I have plans for my own things."

The expression on Zeke's face also turned cold.

His strength had now plummeted to the late stage, but he hadn't reached zenith. However, after absorbing a great deal of power, he was merely a step away from achieving it.

However, he was still quite a distance from it.

Therefore, Blaze didn't hold much reservation, and the same went for Storm.

Upon seeing Zeke disregarding his advice, Storm furrowed his brows in frustration.

"Zeke, why are you so obstinate? To put it bluntly, you're practically knocking on death's door. What good will holding onto that Demonic Lotus Petals do? If we have the Demonic Lotus Petals instead, even if we can't form the Demonic Lotus in the secret realm, we can still exchange it for various cultivation resources back at the sect. Why not do us a favor?"

Blaze nodded in agreement. "Zeke, you're destined to fall and become a depraved spirit in just a week. If you have any last words, just say them. We'll be there to help when the time comes."

Zeke was angered and amused at the same time.

"Storm, I know you're from the Dominion Sect. I can sense it in your aura. If your sect doesn't want to be my enemy in the future, then hold your tongue now. I'm not interested in helping you achieve your goals, sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Storm's frown deepened, a glacial indifference surfacing in his eyes.

"Zeke, do you even understand what you're saying? I'm giving you friendly advice here, don't just ignore it! If you agree to this, I promise that once I've made my breakthrough in Eternal Class, I will carry out

any last wishes or instructions you have. So, tell me, is there anything you want me to do?"

He exclaimed angrily, "I'm not dead yet! Just because you two are strong, doesn't mean you can bully others!"

"What's with your attitude?" Storm's brow flashed with a sudden golden light. A powerful aura seemed ready to burst forth.

Blaze also wore a displeased expression.

"Heh." Zeke sneered, once again drawing the Eurasia Sword. He held it in his hand and gestured toward them.

"So, you want to fight? Just come for me! If I can defeat Wade, I can defeat you as well. Do you really think you're much stronger than him?"

Zeke's words were brimming with arrogance and dominance.

A late stage warrior was threatening a zenith warrior. If anyone else had witnessed it, they would have certainly found it amusing.

However, Zeke had just slain Wade. Within the secret realm, he was arguably the most formidable force. He had directly brought down this powerful existence.

By now, both of them dared not disregard Zeke's words.

They exchanged glances, unsure of what decision to make.

If they managed to obtain the Demonic Lotus, they would undoubtedly be able to trade it for a lot of cultivation resources.

With luck on their side, if they managed to obtain the remaining petals from other top prodigies and assemble the complete Demonic Lotus, they would undoubtedly reap even greater rewards.

They could even break through Eternal Class with the aid of vast cultivation resources.

Once the top prodigies had successfully broken through Eternal Class, they would be regarded with the same reverence as an elder in the sect.

Therefore, the Demonic Lotus Petals were extremely significant to them!

This pertained to future developments.

However, they couldn't simply ignore what Zeke had said either.

After all, the feat of slaying Wade was not a tale, but something that had already unfolded before their eyes.

At that moment, Aretta began to speak.

"Zeke, I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have led the others away, and even after doing so, I should have come back to help you. I realize my mistake now."
