Chapter - 3511

The force of the pink formation enveloped heaven and earth.

"Storm, what do you think you're doing?"

Storm looked at Aretta in shock, gritting his teeth. "Aretta, that's what I'm going to ask. What on earth are you up to? Letting him go isn't a good thing. He's practically a dead man walking. What's wrong with us taking the Demonic Lotus Petals? You even gave him yours, it seems like you've given up on breaking through to Eternal Class. Do you understand the consequences if you fail to achieve that? The war is imminent! The threat of the ferocious beasts is upon us! In this great war, we must ensure our survival. We can only increase our chances of survival by breaking through to Eternal Class."

Blaze also had a serious expression.

"Aretta, you're well aware the ferocious beasts have breached the first fortress of our territory and are now invading the human realm. The demon realm is also watching us covetously."

Upon hearing that, Aretta said calmly and indifferently, "That's not a valid reason for us to snatch another's opportunity. If he's truly destined to fall, he'll seek us out before it happens. All we need to do is to reserve a place for him and patiently wait for his arrival."

Aretta meant that if Zeke couldn't succeed in fully merging the Demonic Lotus, breaking through to Eternal Class, and dispelling the dark energy, he would seek them out just before he succumbed.

All they had to do was wait for Zeke, which required ample trust.

Moreover, if anyone found out about the treasure Zeke possessed, who knew if they'd get any ideas.

"You're truly lost your mind!"

Blaze's expression grew a bit somber. He then shook his head and sighed before turning to speak to Zeke.

"Let's go check it out first," he suggested.

Subsequently, the trio hurried over together.

At that moment, Zeke had already found Vesper, Elvis, and the others.

Upon seeing them, a warm smile graced Zeke's face.

With them by his side, Zeke felt that all the malice in the world didn't seem to matter anymore.

Vesper's eyes welled up with tears upon seeing Zeke, nearly bursting into tears.

She was once a top prodigy among demonic cultivators. Although her strength hadn't fully recovered, she was still a top prodigy at late- stage peak.

At that moment, she was surprisingly moved by Zeke's safe return.

Numerous disciples from the Nimbus Sect reacted as if they had seen a ghost, their shock and horror evident.

"How can this be!"

"Wade's combat power is so formidable. The shockwave from the battle earlier was terrifying, and Zeke was just in the late stage, so how could he defeat a cultivator in zenith?"

"This is simply unbelievable! Did I see it wrong?"

Some even couldn't help but rub their eyes, making sure they weren't seeing things.

After all, Zeke's arrival was truly beyond expectation.

No one thought he would survive.

At that moment, Vela began to cry, rushing into Zeke's arms and holding him tightly.

She wailed loudly, "Zeke, you're finally back!"

Zeke felt incredibly awkward.

Although his relationship with Vela was purely platonic, the boundaries between men and women still existed. Feeling her softness against his chest, he couldn't help but feel somewhat flustered.

During the decisive battle with Wade, he never felt such panic.

He quickly pushed Vela away, giving her a slight smile as he reassured her. "It's all thanks to your star compass, Vela. Without it, I wouldn't have won."

As he spoke, he handed the star compass back to Vela.

"Zeke, you don't want it?" Vela was taken aback.

She never intended to take back the star compass in the first place.

"The star compass suits you better." Zeke added seriously, "I can sense that the star compass is very close to you. When you become powerful enough, you'll surely be able to unleash its full power. You need a powerful magical object right now."

Vela initially wanted to decline, but Vesper also stepped forward at that moment, fixing her gaze on Zeke.

Vela had a grudge against Vesper. Upon seeing her, she let out a deep huff but chose to stay silent.

"Since you've won..."
