640 Awakening of the Devil (1)
The fabled Law Comprehension Realm was the eighth and final realm of cultivation world of Golden Sky World. All the records of this realm were shrouded in mystery for some strange reason.
Anything related to this realm, even its name, was forgotten in the river of history, and only those peak-level existences know about it.

That’s also why he was stunned after what the system just said and wasn’t happy at all because reaching this realm was almost everything’s dream in Golden Sky World, but how many have ever been successful?
No one knows; it was like someone had erased all the traces of the Law Comprehension Realm from this world. By the system wasn’t done explaining!
“[Once the Shadow Abyssal Devil is completely awake, she will be without any cultivation because she wasn’t naturally born with this bloodline and had to cultivate from the start like anyone else.]
“[For this reason, once she appears outside this tower, she will appear as an anomaly and will be noticed by [Natural Order]. This will expose her existence to all the terrifying existences with Abyssal Bloodline!]
“[This will put her into an even more dangerous situation once she’s marked by those existences, and she won’t be able to hide, ever! That’s why she needed at least to be a Law Comprehension Realm Cultivator to avoid the attention of [Natural Order].]
Ace’s expression turned extremely dark, “What is [Natural Order]?”
“[Host only need to know for now is, you can’t provoke the [Natural Order] or draw its attention with your current prowess!]
“[The Abyssal Shadow Devil will only make it react a little but Host will make it active and it will instantly reveal your actual whereabouts and give chance to the Heaven to take action against you without any restrain!]”
Ace felt a cold chill on his spine because he could feel the solemnity in the system’s cold voice for the first time ever since their interaction.
‘Just what is this [Natural Order] and why would it become active once it notices me, and why Heaven will be able to take action without any restrain? It seemed the status of Heaven’s Stealer is even more dangerous, and I’ve imagined it…’
The system revealed at this moment, “[However, as long as she joined the Thief House, she will be completely fine. Even if she didn’t join the Thief House, her cultivation speed will be unimaginable, without any bottleneck because of her bloodline, so Host doesn’t have to worry about this small thing.]”
Ace tightened expression instantly lightened up when he heard this as realization dawned upon him.
‘How could I forget that I have the System? It might be because it is protecting me from exposure all this time. That’s why I don’t have to worry about being exposed!’
But he still couldn’t take off this uneasy feeling after he heard about the mysterious [Natural Order].
However, his attention was instantly drawn to the black cocoon, which was now pulsing in crimson light at a terrifying speed. The broken mirror had already vanished within the cocoon, and only the chain remained attached to it.
Right at this moment, the black chain yanked slightly, and like a flexible string, it suddenly retracted into Ace’s head before vanishing without leaving any trace.
Ace didn’t mind it since his attention was now on the black cocoon as it watched with expectancy and somewhat anxiety.
After a few moments, the crimson lines on the black cocoon started to stir as they moved. They suddenly came alive, and like tree veins, they started to twist over the cocoon.
An ancient dark aura suddenly emits from the black cocoon as those crimson lines start to take shape around the oval shape cocoon.
Ace’s eyes shone in astonishment because those lines were now forming crimson runes, and they were slowly covering the black cocoon in numeric order while the aura was rising.
Despite the dark aura rousing, it didn’t affect Ace at all. On the contrary, he was feeling a strange connection to this aura.
Thereafter, the bright room suddenly started to dim as if something was eclipsing it and wanted to extinct every bit of light.
‘This is… law of [Shadow]!’ Ace was finally able to understand why he was feeling such a connection and strong familiarity with this dark aura.
It was the [Shadow] law that he had comprehended.
But this [Shadow] law was infinitely more complex and out of his current understanding, not to mention powerful.
Furthermore, it wasn’t at its full power yet and rising as the space was getting darker and darker, and only those menacingly crimson runes were visible within his eerier darkness.
But Ace didn’t flinch from his place and watched while he started to get a deeper understanding of the [Shadow] law. One could say it was a kind of blessing for someone like him who had awakened the Law Intent of [Shadow].
However, Ace didn’t completely focus on law comprehension because he was focusing on the faint heartbeat he was hearing as it was becoming faster and faster.
Ace didn’t know how much time had passed or how long he was just standing there like a statue, but he never left the position where all those crimson runes were shimmering brightly.
Right at this moment, those runes suddenly enveloped in a faint violet sheen, and all of a sudden, they started to get dissolved into the darkness or the cocoon, more accurately.
Ace was now hearing a powerful heartbeat like never before, and as those symbols were dissolving, the dark aura around him was getting mixed with something extremely sinister and terrifying.
It was even more sinister than the crimson true soul and far more terrifying.
Even Ace’s unshakable hands instinctively trembled, but he didn’t do anything and just watched. He didn’t know why but now he was sensing a strange connection, a foreign yet infinitely close bond within this ghastly aura.
“Rip…”
A cold, eerie sound of silk ripping apart sounded, and the very next moment, in that sinister darkness right in front of Ace, a vertical, spiral eye surface!
