Chapter - 3520

An overwhelming demonic energy swept across all directions, much like a hurricane.

Vesper took a deep breath, finding herself compelled to sit cross-legged as she began to harness her strength.

Since Zeke had already released his demonic energy, it was nearly impossible for him to absorb it back. After all, Zeke wasn't originally practicing the demonic cultivation method, making it difficult for him to accomplish this.

As the absorption took place, the overwhelming demonic energy surged into Vesper's body, much like a tide.

Her presence gradually became more powerful, advancing from the late stage to the zenith, and finally the peak!

After swallowing a pill, Vesper steadied her regained strength, slowly rising to her feet.

Her strength had already been restored.

She was now a top prodigy.

At this point, Elvis and his group were somewhat scared. They were genuinely fearful that the unpredictable, capricious Vesper might lash out at them.

The strength of Zeke, surprisingly, hadn't diminished much.

Just as he had thought, that demonic energy never truly belonged to him. For him, its enhancement was limited.

After letting it go, he indeed experienced a setback to the late stage. However, this led to a profound understanding of the Great Pryncyp. Naturally, his aura fluctuated for a moment, and he had a breakthrough.

He had actually attained zenith.

Everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

Did he just have a breakthrough like that? Isn't that too sudden?

There wasn't a single sign, it was simply peculiar.

With a faint smirk, Vesper addressed Elvis and the others, "Zeke relied on demonic energy and stayed in zenith for a while. He once unleashed the combat power of Eternal Class earlier, which enabled him to defeat Wade. Though, I'm not certain what method he used. However, after all, he had the combat power of a zenith Eternal Class, so it was only natural that he breezed through the breakthrough."

Zeke also wholeheartedly agreed, nodding his head in approval.

"That's right, it was indeed like that."

Next, he noticed the look Vesper was giving him, seemingly with a bit of hesitation.

"Vesper, just spit it out. What's going on?" Zeke asked.

After a brief silence, Vesper suddenly spoke up in a hushed tone to ask a question.

"May I join your team?"

She was now a top prodigy.

Any top prodigy who wished to join Zeke, Zeke would surely accept.

With such prowess, wherever he went, he was an entity that commanded respect and awe.

However, Vesper was once a demonic cultivator. Although she couldn't be called a demon cultivator now, having already betrayed them, the orthodox cultivators wouldn't accept her either.

She had no support and opted to join Zeke's side.

If the orthodox cultivators had known, it was uncertain how they would have judged Zeke.

Will Zeke agree?

Everyone turned their gaze toward Zeke, all waiting for his response.

In the end, will he agree to her request?

Perhaps, this could be considered a big deal.

Zeke gave a slight smile.

"Great, we should be thrilled that a top prodigy is willing to join us!"

"Welcome, Vesper!"

Vesper smiled. "Thank you for accepting me."

"By the way, you should know... you're also a top prodigy now."

Zeke was also among the ranks of top prodigies.

Everyone was also brimming with joy and laughter.

Currently within the group, there were two top prodigies.

Such combat prowess, even within the Secret Realm of Mount Kush, was an undeniable force to be reckoned with.

Even though Vesper was an outcast among the orthodox and demonic factions alike, they didn't care. They were not like others who held significant prejudices against Vesper.

Though Vesper used to be a demonic cultivator, upon careful scrutiny, it seemed she had never really done anything truly outrageous or harmful.

However, because her power was terrifying, and she was a demonic cultivator, she was feared and respected by orthodox cultivators.

"Thanks a lot, Vesper, for your willingness to join us!"

With a playful grin, Anvindr stepped forward, raising his fist in a friendly gesture toward Vesper.

On the surface, he seemed perfectly normal, but deep within his eyes, there was a hint of worry.

The impression that Vesper had left on them was simply too terrifying.

However, it was fortunate that Zeke was present. His strength was on par with Vesper's, which brought them a sense of security. Without him, they probably wouldn't have been as relaxed. At most, they would've been forcing smiles.

Others also expressed their gratitude and began to prepare a welcome ceremony for Vesper.
