Eternal Thief

The moment Ace stepped on the Bridge of Ascension, all of a sudden, the white lightning below the bridge suddenly surged towards him!

Ace was shocked by this, but for some reason, he didn’t feel any oppression from this surging white lightning. However, he didn’t dare to let his guard down and thought grimly, ‘Could it be that old ghost tricked me?’

Just when this thought came into his mind, the system prompt rang in his mind,

=====

[Congratulation, Host, on successfully crossing the Primordial Ascension Path of Doom!]

—

[The Primordial Baptism of Laws is about to start!]

[Special Reward: Dark Qi [Martial & Soul]]

[Congratulation, Host, for completing the Heavenly Crystal Body!]

[The Host has completed the Heavenly Black & White Wind Soul Core and thus successfully created the complete Heavenly Soul Nuclei!]

Ace was surprised when he heard the system’s prompt because he wasn’t expecting that his Martial and Soul Space would merge together since they were two completely different entities.

Furthermore, he was really given a choice to select a Prime Law. Of the three choices, two were his innate elements, while the other was the Order of Darkness, and the system even recommended it for this selection.

‘After learning about the Prime Law’s significance and about the relationship between the Branch Laws and Mother Laws, I was already suspecting that the Darkness would be my Prime Law since it came from Order. So, there’s no point in even thinking about it.’

“I select the Darkness Order!” Ace chose without hesitation, and at that moment, the white lightning completely enveloped him.

He didn’t resist since this was the baptism he had been warned about, and it seemed to be the key to completing the Heaven Stealer Cultivation Technique (Vol.1) as well.

However, what Ace wasn’t expecting was the moment the white lightning touched his body, his body started to incinerate!

He didn’t even have time to screen because it was simply too painful and too quick. His skin turned into dust, revealing his bare muscles and blood vessels. Thereafter, they turned into dust as well, revealing his bones, and lightning also ground them away.

What was left of Ace was now two spheres, one ethereal black and white sphere in the place of his head, the other corporeal pitch black, and a sword mark in his heart position, which seemed to be absorbing this white lightning greedy and pulsing in excitement.

But despite his entire body being incinerated, Ace was fully conscious because his soul still remained.

The moment his mortal body turned to dust, white lightning suddenly poured into the martial and Soul Spaces.

[Primordial Law Boy construction has begun with Prime Law (Darkness Order)]

=====

System emotionlessly announced, and the next moment, dark blue chains shot out from his martial space and directly penetrated the soul space. Thus, the two spheres began to pull towards each other!

The white lightning began to churn and enter the two spheres even more furiously.

At this moment, within his martial space, the dark lightning sea was fully covered by white lightning. His heavenly Qi had completely gone, and cracks had appeared around the entire martial space. Ace’s martial soul was also covered with this white lightning.

Only the dark void was fine, and dark blue chains were shooting out from it and pulling the soul space towards it.

The same scene takes place in his soul space, and even the Eternal Thief Fate Compass is covered in lightning and trembling, but it doesn’t seem to be on the verge of any danger.

Then something strange happened. The spheres that represent each element that Ace had awakened after absorbing the elemental cores, around the black-and-white soul core, which was now like a dying star, suddenly had dark blue chains appear and penetrate them.

Then, the eight-element spheres pulled outside the soul space when the martial space and the soul space were about to collide together and formed a circle around the two.

The dark blue chains suddenly lit up in dark runes, which seemed to have activated something. Both spaces suddenly shimmered in identical runes, and the element spheres suddenly shone brilliantly as fine threads started to shoot out from them and weave around the two spheres in a runic net.

This runic net made with the element spheres seems to help the two spaces merge and weave together. Ace, who was feeling excruciating pain, suddenly felt warmness filling every part of his being.

The sword mark was greedily absorbing the lightning when it suddenly trembled. It shot directly toward the merging spheres and vanished.

Just when the spheres were almost completely merged together, from the reaming part of Ace’s soul space which was also his true soul, a menacing crimson symbol suddenly appeared.

The crimson symbol has an extremely vile aura, and then suddenly, it takes the shape of the face of the devil from the depths of hell.

However, this action seemed to have infuriated the white lightning, and it directly surged towards it.

The devil’s face let loose blood, blood-curdling, bone-chilling screams before it was completely incinerated, and the crimson symbol on his true soul shattered.

Ace was unaware of it, but the moment the symbol shattered, he suddenly felt free from some kind of shackle, and a foreign power suddenly surged within him.

At this moment, the system’s prompt rang.
