Eternal Thief

At this moment, Ace’s Nascent World had fully transformed into the World Embryo State, a vivid, majestic phantom of a dark glob that suddenly surfaced behind him.

This glob of darkness was surrounded by three ethereal rings of white, astral blue, and dark gray, but suddenly a translucent black ring formed, then a starry red one!

The moment the five rings appeared, the dark glob suddenly started emitting a terrifyingly profound aura, and a primordial air filled with ancientness seeped out and entered those five rings, making them pulse.

Thereafter, his heart thumped and started to sync with the pulse of his World Embryo, and his aura reached its limit as a terrifying power seeped into Ace’s entire body.

Thus, a terrifying pressure erupted from Ace’s body.

’BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!’

His aura surged through another enormous transformation, as it was no longer simply the overwhelming aura of an Ascension Master, for there was something fundamentally different about it.

A faint connection between Ace and the surrounding world had formed as he could feel the laws outside him; he could feel Space, darkness, fire, destruction, creation, and astral phenomena even more clearly and seemed to have established a vague connection with it.

For the first time, the world around him no longer felt completely separate from his existence as his Primordial World had begun establishing a connection with the outside world.

This was the most fundamental ability of an Ascension Grandmaster. Their Inner World had begun to interfere with the external laws.

Once Ace’s cultivation heart was in complete unison with the World Embryo, Ace’s increasing cultivation didn’t just stop after the breakthrough but continued to climb new heights.

The Primordial Qi within his body expanded, turning overwhelming and boundless, and his World Embryo was becoming even stronger.

Ace had crossed another milestone of Law State, but his transformation didn’t stop there for the next moment; his Primordial Law Thief Sense suddenly erupted.

’BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!’

His perception instantly expanded from 50,000 miles...60,000...90,000...and it finally stopped at an astonishing distance of 100,000, which was akin to the Law Sense of an Abyssal/Ascension Lord Realm Cultivator!

Ace’s eyes snapped open, and for a brief moment, the entire Abyss of Wandering Souls seemed to become transparent beneath his perception.

Now, he could vaguely feel countless spatial layers around him, and he had this nagging feeling that he could somehow compress or shrink the distance between two points.

His expression changed. ’My Primordial Law Thief Sense seemed to have transcended and could now vaguely probe the space around me, and I felt a vague sense of authority over the space. I know choosing Space Law this time as my auxiliary law was the correct decision!’

At this moment, the system’s voice finally rang...

[Thief Point(s): 95,028,133,890]

___

[Innate Soul Ability, Thief’s Mark has evolved into Innate Spirit Ability, Thief’s Law Mark!]

___

-Thief’s Law Mark (Innate Spirit Ability)

-Description: Condense the Host’s Prime Law into a unique Law Mark capable of secretly branding Living Beings, objects, treasures, artifacts, and other targets. Once the mark is established, it forms a hidden Law connection with the target, allowing the Host to perceive its existence, general condition, and location.

-Current Thief’s Law Mark Limit: 100

-Passive Aspect: Law Connection

-Description: The stronger the Host’s understanding of the Prime Law, the more stable and concealed the Thief’s Law Mark becomes!

-Ability (1): Marked Perception

-Description: The Host can sense the general direction of a marked target no matter the distance or spatial barrier, and approximate the location within the effective range of his Thief’s Law Mark.

-Ability (2): Mark Resonance

-Description: The Host can use his Thief’s Law Mark as an anchor for his Primordial Law Thief Sense, allowing him to perceive fluctuations originating from the marked target more clearly.

-Limitation (1): Thief’s Law Mark can only successfully brand Living Beings whose Soul and Prime Laws are equally powerful or weaker than the Host’s. Targets with a stronger Soul or Prime can resist the marking.

-Limitation (2): The Thief’s Law Mark can be placed on non-living objects, treasures, artifacts, and constructs regardless of their nature, but sufficiently powerful Law defenses can prevent the mark from being established. The mark disappears if the object is destroyed.

-Limitation (3): The mark will disappear if a Living Being dies, if its Soul is destroyed, or if its Soul undergoes a transformation powerful enough to sever the Law connection.

-Limitation (4): Beings with sufficiently powerful Law Senses, or Law-based detection abilities, can discover the Thief’s Law Mark. The higher the target’s cultivation and Law comprehension compared to the Host, the easier the mark is to detect and remove.

___

[Host status has been updated!]

=====

Ace was astounded when he saw the system’s report, especially when he noticed not only that he had unknowingly grasped the first mystic ability of Space Law, but he had also entered the five-star stage of the Ascension Grandmaster Realm in one fell swoop.

Moreover, the newly evolved Thief’s Law Mark was quite incredible, as it was no longer just a simple mark, but had turned into a law mark that was directly connected to his Prime Law of Darkness and Soul.

Previously, Ace never used it after he entered the Law State because the Law Sense of a Law State Cultivator was too powerful and could be easily detected.

But now, Ace knew how difficult it was going to be to detect or remove this mark because of his Prime Law; it originated from the Order of Darkness, and with Mark Perception, he could find the target no matter where it was hidden!

Ace slowly clenched his fist, feeling the immense power coursing through his body, yet he understood this was only the beginning.

The World Formation Realm wasn’t the completion of his world, but it was the moment when the world had obtained its first true structure.

To advance further, he would need not only to continue strengthening and stabilizing the world, deepening the World Cycle, and allowing his laws to evolve together, but also to create the Primordial World Formation Schema!

Only after completing the Primordial World Formation Schema given in the Architect of Thieving Heart Cultivation Technique can he enter the realm of Ascension Guardian!
