Eternal Thief

Chapter 1186: Spirit Aqua Armor

Afterward, Ace carefully examined the blueprint, his mind racing. The materials on the list were also extraordinary, especially the four main ones.

The first was the Spiritual Aqua Essence, a rare substance extracted from the depths of ancient oceans, possessing a unique watery type law signature. The second was the Starlight Crystal, a crystalline formation found in the heart of a burning meteorite imbued with stellar power.

The third was the Lunar Iron, a meteorite metal forged in the crucible of the moonlight, known for its durability and resilience. Last but not least was Shadow Silk, a fabric woven from the silk of a Pure Shadow Silk Worm. This silk was capable of absorbing and manipulating darkness, and only a single ascension grade-2 material was given to him.

Each material was a treasure in its own right, and some of them didnʼt even exist in the outside world or were simply too hard to find in the Spirit Inferno Domain. Aceʼs desire to get this entire realm becomes even more resolute.

Soon, the time for preparations came to an end, and it was now time to start the forging process.

Following the blueprint, Ace set up the forge, feeding it with a steady stream of his Twilight Qi, and ethereal gray flames suddenly enveloped it.

Once the temperature seemed sufficient, the raw materials were placed within the crucible, their properties merging and interacting under the intense heat.

Ace carefully cleansed the materials of impurities and aligned their Qis. He uses techniques and his own unique insights to ensure that the materials are in optimal condition for forging. This entire process took eight hours.

As the materials melted and began to combine, Ace began to chant the incantation inscribed on the blueprint.

The words echoed through the cavern, their vibrations resonating with the materialsʼ Qi. The molten mixture began to glow with an ethereal blue light, and intricate patterns of runes began to form on its surface.

For over six hours, Ace solemnly guided the process, channeling his Twilight Qi into the forging and shaping the material into the desired form.

Using his enhanced control over his Holy Twilight Qi, Ace combines the Aqua Essence, Starlight Crystal, and Lunar Iron in a crucible. The materials begin to melt and merge, their properties intertwining.

Another two hours passed, and when the materials were molten, Ace started inscribing complex runes onto the surface. These codex runes in the blueprint were designed to draw upon the unique properties of the materials, enhancing the armorʼs capabilities.

After six more hours, the runes were etched with precision, each stroke charged with his Qi.

At this moment, Ace manipulates the molten iron and crystal, shaping them into the desired form of the armor. He uses his enhanced physical strength and control over his Qi to mold the materials with incredible precision.

Once the armor had taken shape and the runes were etched, only the final step was left, which involved weaving the Shadow Silk into the armorʼs structure. Ace used his Qi to infuse the fabric with the armor, creating a seamless integration.

Hours passed, and Ace was completely immersed in the forging process. As the forging process neared its conclusion, Ace focused his mind, channeling his Qi into the molten metal.

The runes glowed brighter, pulsating with a life of their own. With a final, powerful strike of his hammer, the molten metal solidified, forming a shimmering, azure armor.

The armor seemed to be like a living entity, a conduit for the Aqua Essence and Starlight Crystal. The Shadow Silk wove itself into the armorʼs surface, giving it a touch of darkness.

The armor suddenly hummed with spirit Qi, its presence a testament to his skill and the extraordinary materials he had used.

Ace finally snapped out of his daze. As he held the completed Spirit Aqua Armor, he felt a surge of power coursing through him, and something seemed to stir within him as he felt his entire Qi become more vibrant.

The rush of the Qi was simply too intoxicated as if he had been born anew, but it didnʼt last long.

But the disbelief and ecstasy still shone in his eyes as he knew what just happened, ʼI broke thought into 2-Star Ascension Soldier!ʼ

But Ace didnʼt have time to celebrate his sudden breakthrough as the Guardian Spirit suddenly appeared in front of him, drawing his attention.

Ace instantly noticed that the stoic Guardian Spirit wasnʼt looking at him but at the Spirit Aqua Armor in his hand. He instantly became somewhat agitated since he didnʼt know if he had succeeded or not.

After all, he had never forged a Quasi Spirit Grade weapon before, but looking at the completed Spirit Aqua Armor, he could feel it was extraordinary and somewhat different from other ascension grade treasures; it almost gave him the same feeling as Avos but vague. Moreover, he felt a strange intimacy from this armor.

”It took you 42 hours to complete the forging process, quite impressive.” The Guardian Spirit suddenly praised with a stoic tone before it said, ”Now, letʼs see if you meet the mark or not.” Without waiting for Aceʼs reply, the Guardian Spirit pointed his finger towards the Spirit Aqua Armor and an ethereal streak shot towards the armor.

Ace was a little surprised, but he didnʼt dodge because he didnʼt sense any danger from it. He let the light streak enter the armor.

The next moment, the armor suddenly shimmered in an azure hue, and a hint of astonishment flashed past within the depth of Guardian Spiritʼs emotionless eyes.

”This Spirit Aqua Armor is lightweight yet incredibly durable, capable of deflecting even an Ascension Warrior attack. The armorʼs aquatic properties grant it the ability to move effortlessly through water and even breathe underwater. The Shadow Silk component allows it to become nearly invisible in darkness.

”The runes inscribed on the armor enhance its capabilities further, granting it properties such as increased speed, strength, and resistance to elemental laws. You have combined all the properties of materials almost to a perfect degree and forged a real Spirit Aqua Armor. You have some skills, boy.” The Guardian Spirit really seemed impressed as his voice was no longer stoic like before.

But Ace was surprised since the Guardian Spirit described the armorʼs entire properties. His appraisal skills were simply too wonderful. He didnʼt even know much about this armor.

However, the appraisal was still not over as the Spirit Guardian continued, ”Now letʼs see if it had a Quasi Spirit or not.”

Before Ace could react, the Guardian Spirit suddenly moved again and sent an ethereal palm filled with dangerous law power. It was an attack and a powerful one at that!
