842 Everything will Belong to HIM!
On the other side of the Moon Mountain Gate was a beautiful valley that was empty. But right at this moment, a faint space ripped appeared before everything returned to normal.
It was naturally Ace, who just teleported from the other side. However, his complexion was paler than a ghost as he panted heavily like crazy while sweat was beating over his face.
‘I-I felt death at that moment…’ Ace felt deadly chills on his spine when he thought about his last moment when he was teleported.
A deadly pressure, a sense of impending death, an illusion of nothing but silver as if he was going to turn into it himself… in that single moment, Ace felt all of this, and if he hadn’t teleported, he knew he would’ve died!
‘It was too close for comfort!’ Ace tried calming down by circulating his heavenly Qi. Only then his complexion started to turn normal while the lingering fear was still present, ‘It really sensed the space ripple created by the formation and was able to react so quickly. So, this is the Law Comprehension Realm’s prowess or just the tip of the iceberg. I’m glad I got this formation when I did or…’
Ace perspired just thinking about it, but this also gave him a sense of crisis since he was now inside the Moon Domain.
‘There are still a few seconds before the Devil’s Horn will be unsummoned. I should just get it over with. This place is simply too dangerous…’ He instantly made his decision as he flapped his dark wings to levitate.
The next moment, he flipped his hand, and a triangular token appeared. One of its sides was golden, and a blazing black sun symbol was engraved on it, while the other side was silver with a purple moon symbol.
This was the Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker Token he got as a reward from the Talking Feather after he cleared the final trial and also when the Feather was under the impression that he had tricked him.
According to the feather, this token can directly transport him into the moon’s secret realm once he steps inside the Moon Domain without any restriction.
Ace’s initial plan was to wait before his summoning abilities exited the cooldown period. But after experiencing the feeling of sudden death, he changed his plan because there were still Union Leader, and this place would be even more heavily guarded.
So, entering the Moon Secret Realm right away was his best option while the Devil’s Horn was still in effect. He also wasn’t sure if the orb guardian outside had already noticed him or not.
But there was a chance that it did, and it might alert the Union Leader, and once that happened, they would activate all sorts of hidden formations, and Ace would be in massive trouble. There was even a chance that they might have the ability to restrict his access to the Moon Secret Realm, which he can’t afford to gamble with.
Ace poured his Qi into the token, and golden and silver lights emitted from it, and the next moment, Ace felt connected with it, and the information on how to use it appeared in his head.
Without hesitation, Ace ignored the other privileges and directly found access to the Moon Realm and used it!
Thereby, the silver side of the token suddenly shimmered in a purple hue before the light enveloped Ace’s invisible body, and the next moment, he vanished from his spot.
But just as he vanished, a white light figure appeared in the same spot. It was the Sun and Moon Sword Custodian (SMSC)!
“H-how is this possible… no, no, no, NOOOOO!”
His horrified voice grew louder and louder until the entire union heard it like a thunderclap, startling everyone.
At this moment, the Union Leader appeared a meter away from the maddening SMSC, and then the Moon Guardian followed suit, as its colossal size had been somehow shrunk to only 5 meters.
“What happened, Lord SMSC?” Union Leader quickly with a deep frown. He suddenly had a very terrible feeling about this since it was his second time seeing the SMSC losing his composure.
The first time was when Sun Mountain vanished, which means this time, the problem was just as much serious!
“I…I…just now, s-someone used C-Chosen One’s privilege to enter the Moon Secret Realm!” SMSC’s barely able to utter those nerve-racking words.
“What!?” Moon Guardian instantly alarm as it started to tremble.
The Union Leader paled as he instantly asked, “But how is this possible!? Didn’t you say you have blocked the passage? Furthermore, Chosen One privilege can’t be given unless someone obtains the title of Sun and Moon Apostle, becoming the Chosen One of Mortal Sky!”
“And it is the case!” SMSC retorted with an appalled tone, “Unless a God’s Envoy interferes, no one can alter the titles’ privileges. You might not know, but in Sun and Moon Secret Realms, there are wisps of God’s Envoys to monitor the contenders of Chosen Ones.
“If someone is able to impress them, they can earn unimaginable rewards and even God’s favor earlier than promised if they perform exceptionally. The Secret Realms exist for this exact reason to train a Sun and Moon Apostle.
“However, to earn the God’s Envoy’s favor, one needs to perform impossible feats. Like earning God’s Holy Gifts, hidden in every special trial. Which will then render those special trials completely useless once those gifts are taken. Meaning the contenders after that person will no longer be able to undergo a special trial.
“So, if someone can clear all the trials and take the holy gifts of the secret realm, the God Envoy might grant them free access to the other realm because there is no longer a need to search for another contender. This sort of person is destined to be the Chosen One, so why obstruct their way?
“But claiming God’s Holy Gifts is almost akin to certain death if failed, not to mention claiming all nine of them at once. I-I never thought such a heaven-defying person could even exist!” SMSC’s voice was trembling towards the end.
Union Leader’s eyes went widened with utter disbelief as he clearly caught what SMSC was implying, “Y-you don’t mean White was able to do such a thing? Then why in the world he destroyed the Sun Realm, and the Sun Envoy proclaimed him a Heretic!? Where the hell was he all this time?”
His voice turned sharper as his aura rose, it was as if he didn’t want it turns true, and a hint of panic was present.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm SMSC’s voice turned impassive at this moment as he stated in a peculiar tone, “I don’t know what happened in the Sun Realm, but the Sun Envoy’s message wasn’t clear. It was we who assumed that White was the Heretic. He might be hiding because we came to a decision too soon and might’ve not listened to him if he had revealed himself.
“Or he might just be the heretic. But we can’t ignore the possibility of White being able to claim all those gifts and refine them. Because if he does, and once he does the same with the Moon Secret Realm, he will be the Chosen One, heretic or not.
“Not to mention, he will have all the Union under his control, formations, treasuries that even you can’t open, this continent… the entire Mortal Sky… everything will belong to HIM!!”
