Eternal Thief

The Sun and Moon Union were as peaceful as ever, and everyone was busy dealing with minding their own affairs. If anything, the inner sun domain was somewhat rowdy because of the ongoing secret realm trials that started a few days ago.

Normally the small factions and youngsters used these trails to compete with each other and also collect some exotic treasures from the Sun Secret Realm, as it only opened every 100 years for 100 days. Many paid special attention to this event, even the High Union Elders.

But this time, someone else was also keeping a close eye on the Sun Secret Realm enshrouded within the fourth cloud ring of the Sun Mountain. It was naturally the Union Leader, who normally didn’t bother with anything going on in the union at all unless it drew his interest or attention just the matter with White.

Sitting on his throne in the silent hall of statues, the Union Leader seemed to be deep in thought while he looked at the projection of the Secret Sun Realm entrance.

‘I wonder if that talented disciple of mine has managed to enter the third layer. Highly unlikely since he might be busy cultivating the Yang Mortal Sword Technique and raising his cultivation levels…’ At this point, the Union Leader’s lips rose in a peculiar smile.

However, right at this moment, a terrifying aura appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the entirety of the entire palace, and even the Union Leader suddenly shuddered for an instant before his expression grew instantly pale with a hint of trepidation and disbelief.

But before he could even react to this situation or fathom what had happened, an imposing, ethereal voice reverberating in the entire palace,

“Heretic has appeared in the Mortal Sky!

“Captured him alive and offered him in the Sun and Moon Shrine!

“The heretic is…”

Right at this moment, the voice abruptly cut off, and including the palace hovering above the union, the entirety of the Sun and Moon Sword Union suddenly experienced a massive tremor as everyone, and everything was shaken to its very core as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The Union Leader’s expression grows horrid and bewildered as first that unknown yet terrifying voice and now these abrupt tremors, even a fool could tell something was happening to the Union and this might have something to do with the ‘heretic’ that voice just said but cut off before it could reveal its identity.

At this moment, the Union Leader suddenly noticed something, and his face lost all colors because, in the projection of the sun mountain, he saw the fourth ring was suddenly starting to dissipate, and not only that, but the entire sun mountain was experiencing cracks!

To make the matter even worse, as the cloud ring around the mountain peak was dissipating, the tremors were getting stronger and stronger, and right at this moment, the endless blackness surrounding the union, which has been keeping them within for who knows when, also experiences cracks!

The Union dwellers were all shocked and horrified, and they simply thought the end of the world was upon them and the sky was about to collapse!

“Who dares to attack the union?!”

The Union Guardian’s voice suddenly boomed at this moment within the entire union. Right at this moment, both Sun and Moon mountains suddenly started to shine in golden and silver colors, and a powerful aura seeped out as if something was awakening.

The Union Leader was now completely dumbfounded as his entire focus was on the cracked sky as if he was dreaming, and his heart rate grew stronger and stronger with palpation as well as a peculiar ecstasy!

At this moment, the same voice, which rang in the palace just before this strange event started, appeared again, but this time, it rang with the entire Sun and Moon Union and sounded quite distressed and forced.

“T-he S—un… and M-oon Inher… is a h—c…”

The voice sounded incomprehensible towards the end, but it was filled with disbelief and horror, and it abruptly vanished the moment it spoke that broken sentence!

At this moment, within the thick Qi radiation, a massive fleet of ships which were covered with a powerful Qi barrier, were making their way toward even more thick Qi radiation.

The main ship of this massive fleet was in the center, and in the command room sat none other than the five ancestor title holders of the top five races!

The Beast Ancestor wore a deep frown on his scaled face and looked suspiciously at Dream Shatter, and questioned, “Are you sure we’re going to the right place? This entire area is a forbidden zone that exists between the beast and elven contents since forever. If there was some sort of hidden power residing in here, I think they are out of their goddamn mind!”

Even Edward has a hint of suspicion on his face, “Although this is indeed a good place to hide from the outside world, the Qi radiation in this place is simply too high, and it’s still increasing.

“Unless this White Crown has an infinite amount of resourcing to keep up with this much radiation and then grow so much on top of that, I’m not so sure that if we are going in the right direction.”

Dream Shatter remained calm under the suspicious eyes of the four ancestors and smilingly replied, “I know what you all think since there is no way someone could grow in this sort of environment. But I can assure you that we are in the right place. Or don’t you find it strange that despite everything that is going on, the White Crown never appeared or has ever interfered with our world?

“According to my and Prime One’s research, there seemed to be some kind of hidden place within this Qi radiation, which also has the capability to survive in this environment. It might be even more rich with resources than our ten continents, and that’s why the White Crown has never been interested in our lands…”

Right at this moment, Dream Shatter’s speech came to an abrupt halt when their ship suddenly started to rock back and forth under powerful waves that appeared out of nowhere!
