Eternal Thief

Chapter 349



Ace’s smiling face suddenly turned serious when his soul sense finally calmed down, but he knew something must’ve big happened outside since it lasted for whole five minutes.

Noa also noticed the change in Ace’s expression and couldn’t help but asked with uncertainty, “Leader, is there something wrong?”

Ace knew Noa can’t sense what just happened outside, so he told her how he felt that mysterious undulation for a whole five minutes, and then it suddenly vanished.

“It might be a powerful surveillance formation that can also lock cultivators with a specific realm and, by how powerful that undulation was, it seemed, even a Soul Realm Expert will find it difficult to escape this formation suppression. We’re lucky this room can evade that formation, or we might’ve encountered some terrible luck.” Ace’s voice was grave in the end.

Noa’s eyes also narrowed with a hint of dread. She said, “I think we should leave this place as soon as possible, since we didn’t know this place’s full capacity, and we can’t leave our safety in luck.”

Ace nodded. “I was thinking the same, but we still have to wait for a week or two, just to be sure. Besides, we have to completely hide this chamber. Who knows, it might come in handy someday, or we can always dismantle this room in the future.”

Ace was telling the truth about ‘dismantling’ this entire room in the future. It’s not like he didn’t have already tried and failed miserably, since his dismantler rank was still too low.

Noa nodded in agreement with Ace’s words.

Three weeks passed in a flash,

But nothing out of the ordinary happened like three weeks ago and Ace was keeping a close eye outside with his soul sense, he still didn’t dare to use his heavenly sense because he still wasn’t sure if those people left or not or there was any formation monitoring the iron demon city.

Furthermore, Ace’s biggest reason for still refusing to exit this room was actually the absence of Iron Demon Tribe or any other tribe, as a matter-of-factly. Because even after three entire weeks, he still didn’t find any movement in a living being, which left him confused and worried at the same time.

He knew the demon race wasn’t like humans who react too slowly and after the event of three weeks before; he was sure they had made some kind of move, but obliviously failed, since he was still safe and sound.

However, Ace still didn’t neglect his practice and was rewarded for his effort as well. He was now sure he needed to raise his strength if he wanted to progress any further with his skills and techniques.

Expect some techniques and skills like Soul Words, which solely depend on his law comprehension or his movement skills that required physical practice and experience.

Nevertheless, he was still happy with this increase in his strength, especially in his professions like rune crafting and dismantler art.

“Status!” Ace wanted to see just how much progress he had made and what he needed to pay attention to more.

Ace smile faintly when he saw the law section on his status panel. After his breakthrough in the second realm of dual shadow swords technique and comprehending half shadow sword intent, he could feel his understanding regarding the sword has improved to a new level, and he could now use faint element intent with his Qi without a sword in his hand, unlike any other weapon cultivator who needed a specific weapon to show a weapon intent’s true might!

This was the true meaning behind the realm Sword of Finger which didn’t require Ace to hold swords in his hand and he could turn his fingers into swords, but he was still far cry from comprehending the third realm, Sword in Mind, of dual shadow swords.

He mused he needed at least to comprehend 10% of both Shadow and Sword Laws to achieve this realm. Furthermore, he also found that shadow law has made his stealth more potent, although he can’t use the shadow Qi yet.

But he knew as long as this law reached a satisfactory threshold he could acquire shadow element Qi or some kind of intent Qi like sword intent. However, he knew this was still a pipe dream since he didn’t know how to raise his law comprehension.

Despite that, Ace was satisfied with the second sword art he created after achieving the second realm before he didn’t seem to complete it, but after he comprehended half sword intent, he finally completed it, and he was itching to find someone to use it on and his first sword art also become more powerful as well!

‘My Heaven’s Stealer Dismantler Principles had suddenly stopped improving after I achieve 6-star at every principle, it seemed I needed to increase my strength before I can increase Heaven’s Stealer Dismantler Principles further.’ Ace thought before he closed his status panel.

He had already made plans for his further advancement, but first; he had to find a place where he could obtain a large amount of soul-type resources, and every time he thought about this problem, it gave him a headache.

This was probably the biggest problem he had to solve after elemental orbs if he wanted to increase his strength.

‘I can’t think of any better places to acquire those soul materials besides a demon duke tribe’s treasury, king domain’s big clans, or Life Demon Association where I can gain a large amount of soul type resources.

‘But each of these places is more dangerous than the other if I could just have accurate information of a demon duke tribe’s treasury…’

Suddenly Ace’s eyes lit up at this point because he knew someone who had information on a demon duke tribe, and she’ll happily tell him everything, Noa!

‘It’s time to settle Noa’s grievance with Ocean Demon Duchy and Livy.’ Ace’s eyes shimmered with confidence.

After his successful thievery on Henrik a soul realm expert, his art of stealing became even more perfect, and he knew as long as he didn’t encounter a powerful soul realm expert who’s using its marital sense to the fullest he might really pull thievery of this level.

As for King Demon and Life Demon Association, he knew if he provoked these two places too soon, he’ll have multiple soul manifestation demons on his tail and he knew just how deadly a soul manifestation realm expert was. He nearly died in one’s clone hand.

‘But first I have to leave this place.’ Ace again felt with his soul sense and find nothing out of the ordinary, just like every day.

In the end, with a decisive expression, he finally used his heavenly sense for an instant and after waiting for a while, nothing happened, which made him sigh in relief.

Ace again used his heavenly sense, however, his expression turned ashen when he saw the outside. ‘Just what happened here?!’

Ace saw the outside was completely turned into a dark wasteland. There wasn’t any hint of greenery or any blade of grass present. Everything was black, the houses were nowhere to be seen!

Suddenly, Ace remembered that powerful undulation and sweated. ‘Could it be that the formation wasn’t some trapping or surveillance formation, but an attacking formation? But even those formations might not be capable of turning a place full of life into a black wasteland!’

Ace felt his scalp tingle in trepidation. He suddenly had a terrible feeling this time around, and he could only think of one thing right now: ‘I’m again targeted by a powerful existence!’
