Eternal Thief

After hearing the system’s revelation, Ace remained rotted in his place for a long time in a trace. It was impossible for him to believe what he just heard, but it was coming out of the system, so it was impossible to be a lie.

“I-is it really true?” Ace asked after snapping out of his stupor.

“[System never lies.]”

Ace inhaled sharply after System confirmed it as mirth bloomed in his thievish eyes and mulled, ‘I need to calm down, or this revelation is nothing to me. I first need to enter the Moon Domain by going past that orb guardian. My first target is the Moon Secret Realm!’

Ace looked at the sleeping orb guardian and then the gate that led within the Moon Domain.

‘Although I will lose my trump card for some time after this, it’s worth it as long as I can pass through that guardian!’

Ace suddenly sprinted toward the Moon Mountain before he commanded the system, “Summon the Devil Horn Dark Owl Wings and Devil’s Horn!”

Ethereal dark wings and horns started to materialize on Ace’s back and head as his entire demeanor changed while he was enshrouded in darkness. Ace hadn’t used these abilities for quite a while now since they were his trump cards.

After breakthroughs in a new realm, these summoning abilities also grew with him. Now, the only way to pass that Law Comprehension Realm Orb Guardian was to use these two abilities simultaneously.

The Devil Horn Dark Owl Wings will increase his speed by ten-fold, and their flying ability was far more powerful than flying sword, not to mention without any risk of unexpected Qi undulation as long as he was using the Devil’s Horn ability with them.

The Devil’s Horn ability was one of Ace’s biggest trump cards, but its time limit was extremely low, and only with the wings could he achieve its full potential.

So, both abilities complement each other, and this situation was perfect to use them, or if he keeps holding back, then he might wake that guardian, and then it will be too late for him.

Ace’s entire existence vanished without a trace, and his speed accelerated like crazy as he headed toward the sleeping guardian. Within a minute, Ace was only a mile away from the gate.

However, despite his boosted confidence, Ace felt a terrifying pressure as he grew closer to the Orb Guardian, and that invisible pressure also increased. It was his first time being in the presence of a Law Comprehension Realm existence. Existence at the very pinnacle of the Mortal Sky Heaven, a myth among the cultivators!

Furthermore, now that he was up close, he could finally see the true size and its ghastly existence. A 23-meter-long and 9-meter-wide reptile body with diamond shape platinum scales like pristine gems. Two long arms with large blade-like wings spanning and sharp claws on their edges. Then resting above those ghastly claws was a fearsome face with a white horn above its nose.

Despite its sleeping state, Ace was still feeling palpitation as he grew closer to it, and that profound pressure seemed to be emitting unconsciously from that guardian who gave unfathomed and supreme oppression.

Ace, with a solemn expression, continued his advance and flew as high as he could from that terrifying existence. However, his expression paled when he was finally right above the guardian.

Because an invisible mountainous pressure which gave someone an illusion of a gruesome silver wall, descended on Ace, plummeting his speed by more than half!

Ace was instantly alarmed and thought the guardian had awakened and found him. But when he looked down, he saw it was still sleeping with its eye close and sighed in relief.

‘If my stealth is still working, then what the hell is this pressure?’ Ace grew tense as he tried to move forward, and the gate was only less than a hundred meters away from him.

Yet, as he grew closer, he fell under even more pressure, and he couldn’t understand just why in the world this was happening.

‘Just how strong is a Law Comprehension Realm?’ Ace wondered as he didn’t dare to underestimate the strongest existence under the Mortal Sky anymore.

Nevertheless, his time was running out, and there were only a little over 50 seconds left before the Devil’s Horn would be gone and fell under 30 days cooldown period.

‘I should be close enough!’ Ace made his decision and instantly activated the small teleportation and hoped he could appear on the other side. Because if not, then he had to run away in the reaming time.

Furthermore, he was afraid of using this formation since it would create a space ripple that might get noticed by the guardian below him, which would be a disaster for him!

The moment the Windfall of Space formation was activated, Ace’s felt a powerful suction force, and his eyes lit up in ecstasy since it meant the teleportation was successful!

But right at this moment, the closed eyes of the guardian sprang open, revealing entirely silver eyeballs filled with bloodlust and vigilance as they swirled in platinum Qi!

Almost instantly, its fearsome head moved upward before, out of nowhere, a corporeal silvery doom materialized and started to spread at an insane speed. Within a few seconds, the barrier had covered 10 miles radius area.

A husky voice filled with killing intent rang like a thunderclap in the entire union at this moment, “Who dared to sneak in my union?!”

The voice was so loud that the air churned, creaking small lighting sparks, and it came from the orb guardian.

However, no reply was heard, which made the orb guardian sneer furiously, “Gales of Moon!”

The next moment within the barrier, the lights seemed to have lost their meaning as blackness crept out of nowhere before. Within this blankness, an extremely bright silver light appeared.

Thereafter, the small light suddenly expanded within the whole barrier, creating a beautiful silver moon, and its moonlight was filled with killing momentum!
