Eternal Thief

Chapter 1338  Ascension Grand General!

The moment Ace issued the command, the systemʼs emotionless voice rang, ”[The refinement of Star Encompassing Tree will be required 50,000,000 TP required!]”

Ace was startled when he heard this; he didnʼt know he had to pay TP to refine this tree, but still, he had more than enough TP to pay the cost, so he issued an order, ”Alright, start the process!”

The next moment, the primordial spirit Qi in his body churned, and ethereal dark Qi released from his body, creating a huge black hole with terrifying suction force locked toward the tree.

The Star Encompassing Tree seemed to sense the suction force as its starry radiance became even more brilliant as if resisting the suction force; even the lake started to tremble, and invisible Qi began to gather around the land.

Ace was shocked as he felt this change, and he finally understood why this treasure was a forbidden grade treasure. It was even resisting the system. But Ace knew it was futile since the system had never failed.

Just as he thought, the black hole evolved like a vortex, releasing a mystical might, and the starry light on the tree surged toward him. The star essence of the tree erupted from the treeʼs core, rushing into his body like a cosmic tide.

His inner space quivered the next moment as the World Seed within him resonated with the star essence. The moment he absorbed the first wisp of its power, a system notification rang in his mind:

=====

[Refining Star Encompassing Tree has started…] -Progress: 1%...5%...9%...]

=====

Aceʼs body trembled as an overwhelming influx of star essence merged with his being. His Darkness World within the World Seed, previously a void of shadows, now flickered with faint celestial lights, intertwining with the darkness. The two opposing forces—Primordial Darkness and Starlight—began a chaotic fusion, pushing his cultivation to the limit.

The golden glow of the Star Encompassing Tree dimmed as its essence drained into Aceʼs body. Its towering form shrank and the once vibrant celestial runes flickered, losing their radiance.

Then—it happened. His inner world trembled, its once-firm boundaries cracking as a new, overwhelming force poured in. Primordial Darkness Qi started to surge through his meridians like a flood, reshaping his inner world.

The fragile balance between darkness and starlight exploded into a fusion of opposites, birthing something new and ancient.

Aceʼs eyes snapped open, glowing with brilliance—one eye black as the abyss, the other swirling with astral light.

At this moment, the system interface opened in front of him,

Ace eyes were affixed on the first auxiliary law, which had most likely just been added to the list, the Astral Law, and it was highly recommended just the Law of Creation.

He didnʼt need to think twice and selected it without hesitation, ”I select the Astral Law!”

The moment he selected, his inner world started to expand at a terrifying rate as he felt his thief sense also grow, and the skies of his inner world turned neon with celestial phenomena appearing like kaleidoscopic stars; it was just like a real world.

But it wasnʼt over, as Ace felt his world continue to strengthen without stopping. His Qi became more and more potent, and the world around him shifted as his aura soared to unprecedented heights.

Within a few seconds, he became a 10-Star Ascension Grand General from a 1-Star Ascension Grand General.

But his mirth wonʼt last long because the next moment, the sky trembled above the ancient remnant! The world sensed his existence, which had surpassed its former constraints.

Within a few seconds, the sky became pitch black before an eerie vortex formed like a sinister eye filled with destruction and killing intent, and an oppressive aura with endless pressure descended all over the ancient remnant and its surroundings.

Ace naturally sensed the aura of Heavenly Punishment, and his expression became dignified. He exhaled sharply, ready for the incoming calamity.

”Heh, letʼs see if heaven can kill me this time.”

A maddening grin spread across his face, ready to face the wrath of the world, and the system voice rang just in time.

Jake and his group were already miles away from the Ancient Remnant. Although they didnʼt want to give up on the Star Encompassing Fruit, they didnʼt dare to ignore Aceʼs threat. Furthermore, Jake had already contacted his father and reported everything that had transpired here to him, and now he was waiting for his reply. Killian and Helmir also felt helpless and bitter, but they were even more cautious. However, at this moment, they both suddenly sense something that makes their heart tremble with trepidation as they both simultaneously look in the direction of the Ancient Remnant. ”W-what...what the hell is that!?” Killian exclaimed with horror as he looked at the pitch-black vortex in the sky, which was spreading towards their direction!
