Chapter 3581

"Huh?" Zeke was taken aback. " Orion, don't you know what's inside?" Orion gave a bitter laugh. "How would I know? All I know is that there might be a great opportunity inside, but I haven't seen anyone come out. I only heard from the palace protector that some people chose to go in." "Where is the palace protector?" Zeke asked. "She's gone, likely frustrated with me. She's quite pretty, and I've searched for her repeatedly. I think she got fed up with me searching for her, so she bluntly told me I could enter the palace to seek an opportunity. She also mentioned that not long ago, two or three cultivators from the Worldly Palace died inside. Consequently, the balance of negative and positive energies was thrown off. That's why the Worldly Palace began recruiting new members. It's because of this that you and I could enter the Worldly Palace." Zeke suddenly understood. So that's why they found me. Orion likely stayed out of the palace because he caught wind of the news and felt uneasy. But I have nothing to fear. He took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting a determined resolve. I must make a breakthrough! I must reach Eternal Class! Otherwise, there will be no solution to anything! Only by growing stronger can all problems be overcome. Cultivation was all about power. Just like in the mortal world, everything hinged on money. Eurasia's relationships with other countries were driven not by reason but by power. If you were strong, the world would surely treat you better, and it wouldn't seem as hostile. Zeke's abilities fell short, so he didn't receive much goodwill at that time. But the once Great Marshal was no coward. He was willing to risk everything to protect his loved ones and all that he cherished. "Lacey, wait for me!" Zeke took a deep breath, gritting his teeth. "I want to head to the palace. I wonder if I can choose from the Palace of Seven Emotions."

"The Palace of Seven Emotions? You've been there too?" Orion frowned, a hint of apprehension flickering in his eyes. "Those few met their ends there, and I don't know why. Zeke, I suggest you go for the Palace of Three Temporal Forms and the Palace of Dual Energy up ahead." "No!" Zeke gasped, his eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "Wherever the danger is greatest, that's where I want to be. The most perilous places should hold the most opportunities! To be honest, if I can't make a breakthrough, I'm dead. I'm already plagued by dark energy" Dark energy? Orion was shocked. He never anticipated that Zeke was afflicted with dark energy. It seems that the only path to survival is to reach Eternal Class. But is it possible? He couldn't help but give a bitter smile. "Zeke, I know you're anxious right now. Dark energy is notoriously difficult to dispel and can be a near-certain death sentence. What puzzles me is how someone of your strength could be affected by it in the first place." "It's Demon Lord!" Zeke said coldly. "I believe he sent a sliver of his spiritual sense from far across the vast realm. At my weakest and most critical moment, he used Wade's demonic energy to transmit power to me, filling me with dark energy!" "What? That's impossible! They say only those in the late stage of Eternal Class can achieve this. Yet, I've never heard of anyone in our time reaching that level." Zeke's eyes also narrowed slightly. Late stage of Eternal Class? Are they really that powerful? Zeke had encountered Eternal Class warriors before. The one that shocked him the most was undoubtedly Emerald Sword God. Emerald Sword God was in the early stage of Eternal Class. However, Zeke could distinctly sense his divine power, which seemed to exceed the typical bounds of an early-stage Eternal Class warrior. His capabilities were simply beyond extraordinary.
