Eternal Thief

Chapter 1258: Increase in Strength!

While the news of the theft of the Prime Heavenly Bank was spreading far and wide, the thief, Sky Stealer, who was the hottest topic in the entire Spirit Inferno Domain, was very calm and had long since fled the theft site into safety!

The moment Ace was done with the theft and all the preparations, he used the Soul Body Sweep without hesitation and reverse summoned his main body into the inner soul space of his avatar!

After all, once he decided to expose himself, it was impossible to escape under the noses of so many enraged Ascension Guardians, so he used the Soul Body Sweep and directly teleported himself inside the AIG Sectʼs Chief Hall Court by paying half of his Qi as a price.

However, Ace didnʼt stop there. He summoned Freya using a house meeting inside the thiefʼs house and handed her the recorder bead just in case the bank tried to suppress the news and boost his fame even more.

This only took Ace around five minutes to complete before he sent Freya away. But Ace wasnʼt feeling secure because he knew his escape routes were closed now, with both his avatar and main body present in the same place.

But he canʼt just leave like this, or itʼll be quite suspicious, so he calmed himself down, quickly switched his body with his avatar, and appeared as George. This method was so meticulous that even the Guardian Spirit didnʼt notice anything.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Ace sighed. He felt like it was all but a dream since he was able to pull this off with his cultivation base, and he had to admit, it was rather dangerous.

Nonetheless, the thrill and excitement of a successful thievery were the same as when he started on this path.

”System, howʼs the result of this thievery? Did I complete the mission?” Ace asked the system with expectation.

After all, he had taken a huge risk by going after the Prime Heavenly Bankʼs branch, and now that he had succeeded, he knew there was no way he would fail since the Prime Heavenly Bankʼs reputation was simply too high.

”[The evaluation is still underway! The result of the thievery and the TP reward will be announced collectively within twenty-four hours!]”

Ace was astounded when he heard this kind of response from the system, but now that he had considered it, it made sense since this mission was all about fame, not the value of the target or the difficulty.

So, he quickly calmed down and was confident that heʼd succeed.

ʼNow that I have to wait. I should have made better preparations for the aftermath. Especially now that Georgeʼs identity is under suspicion. Once the bank knows about it, they wonʼt take it amicably since it doesnʼt matter if all the proofs are on my side.

”Theyʼll do anything to protect their reputation, not to mention those treasuries I got from the treasuries arenʼt just limited to materials and coins; there were some extremely valuable techniques and rare treasures among them. I need to sort them out.

ʼBut first, I should work on my exit strategy and make sure that I have an escape route if nothing works out. And now that I have the TP, I should evaluate my strength.

ʼSo, I should first upgrade the avatar since itʼs my biggest trump card, and I finally have the TP to upgrade it in the Ascension Warrior realm now!ʼ

Aceʼs eyes shone as he quickly opened the B.E.L.L interface.

”Cultivate it!” Ace ordered without hesitation!

The moment Ace gave his permission, the Avatar of Holy Twilight released a familiar, terrifying soul pressure in his inner world, which was completely different from its previous breakthrough.

Although the Avatar of Holy Twilight was the manifestation of the ??? Divine Talent, which was actually called the Primal Divine Talent from B.E.L.L, was revealed after the system upgrade, and this Divine Scripture of Blossoming Twilight could help it cultivate like any other cultivator!

So, now that his avatar was entering the Ascension Warrior Realm, its inner soul space was naturally going to become an inner soul world. The strangest thing was that the avatar didnʼt seem to require any Auxiliary Laws, and the moment Ace paid the TP, it instantly started to evolve!

The runic lines on the avatarʼs dark golden body became more vibrant and mysterious as a faint mystical glow was released from its body.

But the true change was happening in its soul space. The dark golden sea made with massive Spirit Qi was now transforming into mist, and the space was expanding at a terrifying rate- somewhat different from Aceʼs primordial inner world space!

Ace knew why. The biggest change was naturally in the center of his avatarʼs inner soul world. An ethereal white treelet with nine branches was growing there, and soul mist seemed to revolve around it.

Its archaic, arcane aura was more profound and carried unknown mysteries, and at this moment, Ace saw dark golden runes slowly metalizing on the treelet.

Once the entire ethereal white tree was filled with dark golden runes, the power surge seemed to have calmed down, but Ace could feel terrifying power from the Avatar of Holy Twilight!

”This tree still doesnʼt show any sign of blooming. Just what kind of mysterious this Divine Blossoming of Holy Twilight is hiding?ʼ Ace wondered before the systemʼs emotionless voice sounded, and new information surfaced in his mind regarding the avatar.

Ace sighed bitterly when he saw the cost of the next upgrade. But since it was still quite far away from him, he didnʼt take it to heart and closed the panel and started to integrate with the memories of the law ability he just received.

Although he never used the Holy Sun Calamity Palm, he knew its power was extremely terrifying and destructive. Before, it had the power of one soul sun, but now that it had evolved into a law ability, it carries the power of three twilight suns.

Ace even wanted to try it, but using it would use up all of his Holy Twilight Spirit Qi and might

also cause a huge commotion, so he kept it as his trump card.

But Ace was still not done. He opened another interface to further evaluate his prowess and

ordered the system directly!

”System upgrade the Nirvana Thief Bloodline to Ascension Grade-3!”

The system instantly deducted 75 million TP, and the next moment, deep within Ace, something stirred as the entire blood in his body began to surge and boil, and his entire skin turned crimson. It was like he was burning from the inside out, and his blood suddenly turned

into a lava

river!

Not only that but as his blood boiled and his latent power was further evaluated, his cultivation started to surge as well. Especially after all those high-level thieves he pulled. His cultivation was already at the peak of 1-Star Ascension Warrior!

The next moment, Ace instantly breakthrough to the 2-Star Ascension Warrior, but it wasnʼt the end. His Primordial Qi continued to become denser and denser, and his prime law seemed to be increasing with his bloodline, which Ace never expected it to!

Within a few minutes, Ace was already a 3-Star Ascension Warrior, and by the time his blood calmed down, Ace was just a step away from a 4-Star Ascension Warrior!

This was an unexpected yet pleasant surprise, and at this moment, he looked at the interface

in front of him.
