Eternal Thief

Chapter 735 Certainty & Confusion

Aceʼs expression was not very good at this moment. He never expected the enemy would conjure a teleportation talisman and escape his grasp. 

Just how rare was a space-related treasure, especially a lifesaver like a teleportation talisman? 

It was Aceʼs first time seeing someone other than him using a teleportation talisman, and the speed of that talisman was not any lower than his own. 

This made Ace reevaluate the Grim Winged Serpent again. 

ʼJust was it, and how could I come in contact with it?ʼ Ace wondered gravely, ʼNo worries, as long as it wonʼt leave the Sun Secret Realm, there is no escaping me!ʼ 

Ace then looked at the fate map, and within seconds he was able to spot the ʼUnknown Entityʼ again. He was surprised when he calculated its position, and it was fifty miles away from here. 

ʼ50 miles distant with a single talisman? It must be at least a Grade-7 talisman, and he used it without hesitation just because he knew he couldnʼt dodge my sword intent skill. Then he must have even more terrifying trump cards hidden.ʼ Ace thought with scrutiny.

Then he noticed that the Grim Winged Serpent was now moving in the south-north direction, and surprisingly, the Spirit Fire was in the same direction while the Guardian Zone was in the completely opposite direction.

ʼCould it be heʼs after the Spirit Fire all this time? But how did he know there is a Spirit Fire in this place if heʼs from the ten continents?ʼ Ace mused as something started to come into his mind, and a flash of bewilderment appeared on his face, ʼThe only spirit fire known to the ten continents is the Spirit Fire present in the Fiery Hell Secret Realm…ʼ 

Then it started to make even more sense when he calculated the opening time of the Sun Secret Realm and the Fiery Hell Secret Realm were almost identical, as well as their requirement to enter them and the same restriction. 

Ace felt like a huge veil had been lifted from his eyes, ʼIf the Sun Secret Realm is the famous Fiery Hell Realm under the three top racesʼ control and opened for both sides, then why hasnʼt the Union reacted in any way about the presence of the three races participants from the ten continents? 

ʼAnd how can a magic beast have appeared here before the opening time? This is so confusing. One moment it makes sense, and the next moment it doesnʼt. I have to interrogate that fellow. He is the key to solving this mystery. If this is the Fiery Hell Secret Realm, then I can definitely leave into the ten-continent side!ʼ 

The flying sword under Aceʼs feet instantly turned toward the Grim Winged Serpentʼs direction and then shot like an arrow. 

Ace was now even more eager to get his hands on that snake, and he also planned to retrieve the spirit fire while he was at it. But this time, he was going to be the one who sneaked around, not the Grim Winged Serpent. 

It has missed its chance to pull a fast one on Ace; there wonʼt be another such a chance. 

Over fifty miles away, the Grim Winged Serpent was flapping its massive wings at its fly with a terrifying speed in the direction of the Spirit Fire, which was showing in the direction formation plate. 

But its eyes were still filled with disbelief and humiliation as he thought about how he had to use one of these oldest and most precious treasures to escape from a Soul River Realm Human Cultivator. 

If this news spread between the ten continents, he would be the laughingstock of the entire world, and no one would dread his status or respect him anymore. Even his own race would see him with disdain and contempt. 

ʼJust how can there be such a terrifying human aborigine in this realm? If heʼs this strong, then what about the other stronger humans?ʼ A deadly chill ran down its spine, ʼHere I was thinking this would be an easy task and no one would be able to stop me. But it seemed I had made a grave error in my judgment about the aborigines of this place. I canʼt even break through into the higher realm because of the damn restriction in this place. 

ʼBut what if itʼs the same case for the Aborigines? That human bratʼs talent was simply too terrifying, and he should be around the Platinum Soul Realm, but there he was, only a soul river realm.

ʼWell, it doesnʼt matter anymore. As long as I can avoid meeting those abnormal aborigines or that boy and wonʼt provoke them, I can easily do my thing and leave. But if those Aborigines try to stop me from acquiring the Law Source, then I should just give up and leave. 

ʼI canʼt die in this hellhole when I havenʼt even done anything after my long-awaited comeback and going through years of solitude to become alive again. I can always reach the Law Awareness Realm in due time without the Law Source. But my life is too precious to fight over it with those terrifying guys. 

ʼIf I wonʼt get it, then those brats from the three races would definitely canʼt either. No wonder those guys were wiped out the last time. I need to be very careful now!ʼ

The Grim Winged Serpent changed its entire strategy after encountering Ace and was no longer arrogant than before. He cherishes its life more than anything else because he knows what it feels like to have no life at all. 

The Grim Winged Serpent continues to fly in the direction where the Spirit Fire was, and this time it avoids most of the traps because of its racial ability he could use in its beast form. 

It took it five more hours to reach its destination, and there wasnʼt any need to identify where the Spirit Fire was because it was simply too obvious to find. 

There was a five-hundred-meter-tall mountain peak in the middle of the mountains, and the entire mountain was encased under ruby color flames.

Just the heat coming from it was enough to make even someone like Grim Winged Serpent keep a vast distance from it, not to mention the terrifying pressure and aura around hundred meters. 

Most likely, the burning mountain was the home of the fabled Spirit Fire!
