Eternal Thief

Chapter 466 Law Awareness Realm!

On the mountain peak,

When the Council Minister landed on the mountain peak, Winter was nowhere to be found and only the crystal altar was left, which was quivering and cracking continually.

Council Minister’s brows knit slightly as he felt the dreadful aura rising from that altar or the thing that was trying to break free!

Although he didn’t know what was trapped behind that altar, he didn’t want to find out, even someone like him felt slightly dreadful from whatever was trying to break free.

He waved his sleeve, and dark Qi gushed out and covered the entire altar and pond.

But to his surprise, his Qi sucked into that altar the moment it touched it and it triggered some kind of reaction, and the altar instantly shattered.

‘Boom…!’

The very next moment, two gray ghost claws appeared and everything around them started to freeze in gray!

An extremely terrifying pressure started to spread on the entire mountain, which made even the Council Minister take a small step back.

Following by ghostly claws, a face crawled out which could send chills to anyone’s heart, it was an uneven face with white eyeballs all over its face and tentacles crawling from its vertical mouth and its torso was humanoid as the bottom was like a snake.

Its entire gray body was covered in dark runs.

It suddenly let loose a deafening cry which rang in the entire space,

Council Minister’s expression was now completely changed. He looked extremely solemn as he looked at that monstrosity.

“A Quasi-Martial Law Awareness Realm Corpse Puppet?!”

Martial Law Awareness Realm, and Soul Law Awareness Realm, or Law Awareness Realm, was the name of the Seventh Realm of Cultivation!

Although the Council Minister himself was a Martial-Quasi Law Awareness Realm cultivator, he never thought there would be an existence of this level still trapped in the outer continent.

Furthermore, he could feel this thing was in complete control of this place and another scary aura was rising from the bottom of the mountain after its strange cry.

He grimaced, ‘Just how strong was the Corpse Demon Tribe to kill this thing and then make it a corpse puppet? According to the legends, any refine corpse will only regain its 60% cultivation, which means this thing died as a Martial Law Awareness Realm!’

Council Minister suddenly thought of something, ‘But how did it regain control of itself? Didn’t the corpse supposed to be mindless, or did someone free it from its restrictions? Wait… that beast where it is?!’

Council Minister finally understood just how did this thing regain its senses and he was extremely furious about the beast who released it despite knowing just how much damage it would cause.

Furthermore, this corpse and all the other things in here belonged to the demon race, but that beast not only took everything, it even released those corpse puppets on the continent just so it could escape!

Council Minster didn’t dare to imagine if he hadn’t come here, what would’ve happened if this thing ran amok in the eight provinces. The damage would be unimaginable.

Even those eight demon kings and council elders together won’t be able to contain it because the disparity between them was just too big and only a Quasi Law Awareness realm could match a Quasi Law Awareness Realm in a fight!

Nevertheless, the fight with that thing won’t be a pretty one even for him because that thing won’t feel pain or didn’t have any fear. That was why the corpse puppet was fearsome!

“Even if it’s meant my death, you have to die here!”

Council Minister also released his imposing aura, which clashed with that corpse puppet head-on!

A fight between Quasi Law Awareness Realm was about to break out!

—

The others had no idea about what had just transpired on the top of the mountain, but those demon kings could guess from that dreadful aura.

But they had no time to think about it because those ghost worms were merging into a collective entity that was slowly approaching the manifest realm!

Furthermore, there were still madly charging foxes, not to forget about those corpses on the other side.

“Call the reinforcement. We can’t waste time on these cannon folds. We have to deal with that abomination or we might really face calamity this time!” Earth Demon King said solemnly as he looked at the growing gray water entity.

“Fuck, we are really in trouble this time. This second aura is probably coming from the Council Minister and they are equally matched!” Blood Demon King frowned.

Blade Demon King’s eyes were filled with worry about Peter. He knew things were going out of hand and he had to hurry. He took out a communication cube and activated it. “Commanders take charge!”

On the other hand, Ace was moving in a complexly opposite direction with a grave expression on his face when he felt another deadly aura at that peak.

When he thought about how that strange cry made those ghost worms react, he couldn’t help but think about the Orb Guardian.

‘Could it be that Winter was suppressing that orb guardian all this time and if this is true, then according to its instinct it would directly head toward the elemental orb since they could sense their general location! Only a space by the system can completely cut off their connection.’

Ace couldn’t help but felt pity for whoever had the ice orb right now if this was really the orb guardian and from that aura, he knew this wasn’t something just anyone could handle!

Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with him right now, since he knew it would seek death if he tried to fight that guardian for the elemental orb. Both times, he had to rely on heavenly punishment to get rid of the guardians.

He wasn’t sure if this one can be dealt with by the heavenly punishment at all.

But he had to admit demons were really worthy of being the second-strongest race in this world because that second aura was directly clashing with the first one and was equally matched.

However, this also made him agitate to leave this place since he was still in the vicinity of the fox mountain and the entire place was trembling under the undulation caused by the clash on the top.

‘Boom…’

Suddenly, an enormous blast rang from the mountain peak, which caused a huge tremor in Qi in a one-mile radius.

The sky started to change and Ace saw that half of the sky has turned completely dark while the other half was turned into a gray ice storm. He was on the side of the dark and he felt this Qi wasn’t harmful at all, but it was giving him a strange sense of closeness.

He felt like he was grasping something, but he didn’t stop because it was just dangerous to stay for this moment, gain. His life was far more important.

But he still felt there was something about this dark that made his heart race, and if he could stay and mull over it, he knew he might get something amazing. A pity he can’t, though.

After he reached the ground, he took the advantage of everyone being distracted and headed toward the rare side, which was completely opposite of the gray lake.

He could still hear booming sounds from the sky, but he completely focused on escaping.

However, when he was over ten miles away from fox mountain and crossing that palm tree forest, he heard a tremendous commotion from ahead.

‘Demon reinforcement?’ He thought and quickly climb on the palm tree and remain static.

Soon, he saw galloping demonic beasts and demon riders madly heading toward the fox mountain as they raise huge snowy clouds in their way.

‘They are only going to their death.’ Ace knew what was happening there, and he knew whoever go there would be in immense danger.

But he still admired the unity of the demon race in the face of a common enemy and they react really quick as well even though they were after the inheritance. Nonetheless, they were still efficient!

He clearly understands if they had to stay in that prison for three or four weeks more, the others might lose their minds with torture and he had to use one of his trump cards to escape as well.

Ace let that demon cavalry pass and then again started fleeing.

This time he didn’t encounter anyone and when he saw the familiar snow fields in the distance, he couldn’t help but smile with relief.

‘I’m finally out of this damn place.’

Well, that was what he thought when he was suddenly intercepted by a colossal figure which abruptly appeared ten meters away from him and made his heart palpitate.

It was a ten-meter-tall pink fox with a silver sheen on its fur and three tails. A melodious yet icy voice sounded with a hint of curiosity. “How do you manage to ignore my soul brand?”

Ace was flattered when he heard this voice and his blood run cold. ‘Winter!’
