Eternal Thief

Chapter 1113 I’m the Representative of…

Ace looked at the empty spirit nectar pond and then towards Cyrus on his shoulder. Although Cyrus still looked the same, his aura had become more powerful and deep, which was good for Ace.

Furthermore, the bed of the pond was covered with emerald crystals, which seemed to be even more powerful than the spirit stones he had seen until now. So, he had Cyrus refine them as well and then collected everything.

Ace had also stowed away Avos in his thief’s space since he couldn’t access his inner space right now. He couldn’t risk losing Avos even if he could send the sword into his inner space since his other treasures weren’t answering his call yet.

“Big bro, I sense something even more delicious under this pond! Should I burn open a path?” Cyrus suddenly asked with anticipation.

Ace raised an eyebrow as he was already expecting this, but he still remembered Avos’s warning, so he shook his head, “No, it might be dangerous since we don’t know where we ended up. Let’s return to the future again. For now, let’s focus on finding a way out of this place. How about you burn open a path that leads us outside these mines since we can’t afford to take the exit in front?”

Now that Ace knew Cyrus could easily tunnel through these spirit stones walls, which should be impossible for an elemental state cultivator, he was planning on making a tunnel that led directly outside the sect alliance city.

However, it was far easier said than done. Without any accurate direction, his fate map was still not working, and it had something to do with his lack of heavenly Qi. So, he asked Cyrus if the little guy could help him with this, which he didn’t have much hope of.

“Going outside?” Cyrus asked confusingly, with a hint of reluctance. The little guy was clearly not willing to leave this place filled with delicacies.

Nonetheless, since Ace had already stated his opinion, he could only agree and follow obediently. “Yes, can you sense a path that could lead us outside these mines?” Ace nodded.

Cyrus pulled a thoughtful expression and started to look around. Then his little eyes lit up. “Big bro, let me try something!”

Ace was surprised when he heard Cyrus’s unexpected reply, “What are you up to? Don’t cause…”

Right at this moment, Ace was startled when the entire place suddenly shook. A powerful tremor ran under his feet, almost making him fall.

“What is happening?” Ace squinted his eyes with uncertainty as he vaguely felt a faint wave of powerful Qi spreading with these unknown tremors.

“It came from there!” Cyrus quickly pointed his little wing towards the exact pathway they came from.

Ace was startled, and his expression became grave, ‘Could it be someone powerful just entered the mines and found the altar, and these sudden tremors were the result of them doing something? Just what the hell that useless fool was doing? Whatever the case is, I can’t go back now with my current state, and even if Cyrus can overpower whoever it is, the clash will cause even more commotion…’

“Ignore it for now. You are going to try something, right? Just make it quick.” Ace gravely ordered.

Cyrus nodded, sensing the urgency behind Ace’s voice. The next moment, he flew off Ace’s shoulder and let loose a faint cry, “Nether Form!”

Ace was startled when he heard Cyrus’s words, but he was even more shocked by what happened next.

Cyrus’s dark body suddenly ignited into dark blue flames and turned ethereal, looking like a blazing phantom from the netherworld. Even Ace could feel his heart palpitating, as he could sense the chilling aura from Cyrus’s flames directly affecting his soul, and that was the case despite Cyrus’s not even locking into him.

‘What are his flames cold now? Before, when he was using his flames, they were extremely hot. Could it be he can use both cold and hot flames at will? Furthermore, these cold flames felt even more powerful than his hot flames…’ Ace mused with a hint of awe and elation.

The next moment, the phantom Cyrus suddenly turned into a streak and directly shot toward the northern wall, leaving behind a beautiful trail of dark blue flames.

Then Ace saw something absurd; Cyrus directly passed through the wall like they didn’t exist and vanished.

‘It’s just like my Twilight Traverse, but he can pass through physical objects even if there are no restraints or formations engraved on it. To use my Twilight Traverse to pass through physical objects, I need them to be engraved with formations, and only then will the requirements be met to use it.

‘Furthermore, this Nether Form seems far more profound and might have other uses. It seems the little brat awakened it after he became law state with me. I should inquire about it from him and see if there are other abilities he has awakened. But he’s too playful and might not even be able to describe them, just like I asked earlier about the Spirit Qi…’

Just remembering Cyrus’s antics, Ace pulled a wary smile and almost gave up on finding out about Cyrus’s new abilities. Nonetheless, he was happy about Cyrus getting new abilities, as this would mean Cyrus could be even more helpful, and he wouldn’t have to worry about Cyrus getting harmed.

At this moment, Ace was waiting for Cyrus to return when suddenly, his heart trembled. Out of nowhere, he felt a powerful pressure suddenly spread in the cavern, and Ace was horrified because this pressure was Cyrus’s presence or even slightly stronger, and despite not being directly locked on him, he could feel just how powerful it was.

‘An ascension solider?!’ Ace’s expression warped when he thought about this possibility. He thought he had been discovered, and a sense of urgency overwhelmed him. But he forced himself to remain calm.

Although the pressure was horrendous, he was still fine because of his unusual body, and he could clearly feel this pressure wasn’t directly locked on him, and he was just feeling a part of it.

At this moment, an aged voice suddenly reverberated in the entire mine, “Which fellow practitioner has entered my Sect Alliance City’s spirit mines without any prior notice? Please come out, or this old man will have to be rude!” 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶

Ace’s expression darkened even more as he felt this old voice talking to him. He could clearly feel this person’s position despite him not being here. Now, he understood just how powerful a law state cultivator was, and he became even more indignant about his own strange condition!

However, before Ace could take further action or make sense of this situation, another cold, imposing voice from a young man rang.

“I’m the representative of Heaven’s Justice, and whoever comes in the way of justice will be judged by me, for I am Heaven’s Advocate!”
