Eternal Thief

Chapter 919 Law of Sin

”Why is this happening?!” The blood devil lord roared furiously with a hint of terror as the four-color thunderbolt came in his direction, and he used a white-green bell to shield himself. 

”Boomm…!” 

Instantly, the entire bell trembled as cracks began to emerge on this high-grade-7 treasure, which made the blood devil lord even more fearful as he used every essential in his body to flee! 

While the others were in the same position as their defensive treasures, they were showing signs of destruction, and they were still nowhere near the end of this calamity. 

The secret realm finally completes its merging process, and the thunder strikes become more and more vibrant and ruthless. 

Ace took a deep breath as he was finally returned to the mortal sky again and looked at the jet-black vortex filled with heavenly thunder. 

ʼLetʼs try something new!ʼ Aceʼs eyes flashed cruelly as he turned into a black lightning bolt and zapped towards the heavenly punishment clouds. 

The surrounding pressure was not enough for it to stop his advance, and the heavenly punishment seemed to sense its advance towards it, and it rumbled furiously. 

For the first time, it ignored the others and directly sent a thick thunder beam towards him as it wanted to stop him from approaching. 

However, Ace remained unfazed as he approached the thunder vortex while he didnʼt try to dodge the incoming thunder pillar. 

He seemed like an ant in front of this fifty-meter-long thunder pillar, and the moment they came in contact, Ace felt powerful despair and heavenly thunder laws as well as an instantly destructive force. 

But he let it all sink into his martial space, and his trembling sword core instantly released a powerful suction force and started to absorb it all!

Furthermore, Ace was now using the heavenly thunder to increase his understanding of despair and heavenly thunder. 

After he attains two laws at 99.99% and the first order of darkness, Ace realizes a terrifying fact. First, the laws can be combined and formed entirely new laws. Second, the combined law would have effects on all combined laws. Third, as long as he understood that law even a tiny bit, he could increase it once he was exposed to the law. 

Lastly, the higher his understanding of the law gets, the gentler its offensive effect on him. Like the despair within, heavenly thunder no longer has a potent effect on him, and heavenly thunder slowly exposes its secrets as he comprehends them by absorbing them through his sword cores. 

Only after assimilating the laws of Evil Occult and Sin did Ace understand all this because those laws were as overbearing as the heavenly thunder, or it was just that those laws belonged to an existence far more terrifying than the Heavenly Thunder of the mortal sky heaven!

Ace shouldnʼt have come in contact with them, much less getting 99.99% proficiency without the first order of darkness. But now that he did, he didnʼt see the heavenly punishment as a thing to endure but as an opportunity to make it his own!

As he was planning to do it even faster, it was with his newly gained law, the law of Sin, which was actually the combination of seven specific laws!

The law of Sin had seven intents hidden within, which belonged to the seven laws it was made with, which shocked Ace when he first discovered them, and he was absolutely gobsmacked. The intent of [Pride], [Greed], [Lust], [Envy], [Gluttony], [Wrath], and [Sloth]!

These seven intents were highly potent and had their unique characteristics, and one of them matched what he needed right now and gave him this ridiculous idea. 

Just as Ace was within the heavenly thunder, a sinful, vile aura started to emit from him like it could devour everything. A ravenous aura shrouded the heavenly thunder as his eyes turned black. 

ʼSin Law, intent of Gluttony!ʼ 

A phantom of a small black hole appeared behind Ace, and thereafter, it began to suck the heavenly thunder within it even faster than his sword core. 

As it devoured more and more heavenly thunder, Aceʼs mind flooded with complex, profound information, and his momentum became more overbearing. 

The intent of Gluttony was to devour everything as long as Ace had the mind and body to endure it, and it would make it his own. Although this wasnʼt as powerful or profound as the darkness, he felt this was the key to getting to that point, and now he can use it on his own!

Within seconds, the entire thunder pillar was absorbed as the black hole behind released an even more ravenous aura like it wasnʼt even enough to satisfy it. 

Aceʼs lips curled up as he felt the same hunger while he eyed the clouds in the sky, and his speed became even stronger than before as a white luster began to appear on his dark lightning bolt form, which gave the same aura of heavenly thunder. 

The heavenly punishment clouds rumbled wildly and seemed to have sensed Aceʼs bold gaze, and the next moment, a head made with thunder began to emerge from within before another followed and then another until four heads with different colors of thunder appeared. A four-headed humanoid body followed suit, which was over five hundred meters in size. 

Ace was forced to halt as the ghastly aura from that body made his heart go cold, ʼAnother variety of the Heavenʼs Terminate Manifestation! Furthermore, its body seemed to be somewhat corporal. Could it be, since it appeared before I could approach the clouds, the heavenly punishment didnʼt want me to get closer to the clouds at all?ʼ 

Just thinking about it made Aceʼs heart beat wild with astonishment and glee because it was the first time he had forced the heavenly punishment to act out of its natural course!

This meant he was on the right path, making him want to go there even more and see what was hidden behind those clouds!
