Although his soul cultivation has broken into the middle stages of the heaven stealer technique, this time, his thief sense didn’t increase from 500 miles, which was somewhat surprising. He reckoned that it has something to do with True Soul Law Refinement!

Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter since he had already gotten what he wanted, and now he can absorb billions of grade-8 Qi stones he had plundered from the Union treasury and the Union’s secret realms!

But it wasn’t the time since he noticed the formation dimming, and he knew he had to leave before anyone could notice him.

However, just as he turned around, giant figures began to appear in front of the mountain’s mouth, and quickly, he entered stealth before anyone could notice him.

“How is this possible?” The aged voice of a woman reverberated within the mountain space filled with disbelief.

Ace slowly crept toward the corner as he was still not being noticed and put some distance between himself and the core of the soul mountain before using Thief Shelter to hide in the fragment of space.

He knew these people were all hidden experts of the imperial family, and they were all in the eighth realm except for one woman. Although he wasn’t afraid of them, it still wasn’t time to show his presence.

Before, he was afraid that taking these two beast veins would make his thief symbol appear, but nothing like that happened since the system didn’t consider these two beast veins anyone’s property, so he technically wasn’t stealing from others.

Furthermore, even if they were someone’s property, the true owner should be the real owner of this ancient ruined city, not the Skylar Clan. So, he was glad that the thief symbol didn’t trigger, or it would be somewhat problematic if someone guessed his real identity with his thief symbol.

At this moment, hurried steps were heard as a few women and two giants approached the empty beast vein location.

“Where did those doors go, and how did this formation stop working? Who done this?” A giant old woman with deep eyes spokes as she scans the space with scrutiny with her powerful soul sense.

The Skylar Clan’s special cultivator technique, Violent Heart Art, has two parts, Extreme Yin Soul Path, and Extreme Yang Martial Path, and it is a complete cultivation technique with three unique abilities in each manual that can cultivate all the way to the ascension.

The extreme yang martial path was for male cultivators, while the women cultivated in the extreme yin soul path. .

According to the historical records of the imperial family, their ancestors were the possessors of Extreme Yin Fantastic Physique and Extreme Yang Fantastic Physique, and this cultivation technique was bestowed upon them by a God. That’s why they never tarry from this path and cultivation technique, which has made them the overload of the sky heart plains for thousands of years.

The old woman’s soul sense enveloped Ace’s hiding space, and he was startled. He sensed a slight danger from her soul sense, which was quite astonishing.

The old woman glanced at where Ace was hiding before averting her gaze; she still didn’t discover him.

At this moment, the giant men also appeared, and the skinny old man gravely said, “There is nothing in the martial mountain.”

“There’s no one here either.” The old woman replied.

All of their expressions were gloomy to the extreme because this matter was linked to their entire clan’s cultivation and livelihood of old people like them. They had been using this place for thousands of years to raise their strength explosively, and it was also an impenetrable fortress where they could retreat in case of mortal crisis.

But now, mysteriously, the formation has been broken, and they have no idea what the hell is going on or who did it. However, they still didn’t think it was done by men since they thought no one had that kind of ability.

Only the second prince Darren’s trails of thoughts were chaotic as he instantly thought of Abner. Still, he also discards that idea since it was just too impossible to open these two mountains, which generations of powerful figures from the imperial family can’t even scratch.

At this moment, while the old monsters of the imperial family were still mulling over this issue, the entire place suddenly trembled before a murderous sensation enveloped everyone.

“Not good!” The old giant’s expression warped as he was very familiar with this aura, and he yelled, “It seemed the killing intent of the Ancient Sky Battlefield Plain began to enter the ancient city! Just as we predicted, that formation was the only thing that kept it out. Hurry, use your talismans while you can. If we are fully enveloped by this aura, we might not be able to leave. We’ll discuss this issue once we’re back in the palace!”

No one dared to be slow as they quickly took out their golden talismans and vanished one after another.

‘Ancient Sky Battlefield Plain? Isn’t it one of the three mystery plains of the sky heart plains?’ Ace was shocked as realization dawned upon him, and he finally understood where these golden lands were located and why no one had ever been able to discover them.

‘Should I go back or stay?’ He was contemplating now since the silver color on the map still hadn’t vanished yet, which meant this place was useful for him. He might not get another chance.

However, he was suddenly startled when he noticed a pair of beautiful starry eyes were locked on right where he was hiding.

She was the only one left among the group of imperials, and she was not an old monster but a young woman. Her 8- meter-tall, beautiful figure was perfect, with curves where there should be curves but no excess curves elsewhere. There wasn’t the slightest bit of her appearance that should be changed.

An oval face like snow, bright starry eyes like sapphires, an image of the peak of beauty. Even each hair of her left and right eyebrows matched perfectly. That was a kind of beauty that shouldn’t exist in this world, yet here she was, staring deeply at Ace without blinking.

She was on par with the likes of Freya, and her identity were extremely noble, she was the only Imperial Princess of the Skylar Clan that no one has ever seen or heard about, Sofia Skylar.

Ace didn’t dare to believe that she could see through his ability since she was just an intermediate-stage law awareness realm cultivator. But he was perplexed about why she wasn’t using her talisman, and instead, she was gawking at his hidden space.

Until Sofia opened her pink lips, “I’m very sensitive towards space, come out!”
