Ace glanced at the system interface before ignoring it; he suppressed the rising spirit Qi in his body, and without hesitation, his ethereal dark wings moved, and he flew towards the sky, leaving behind a dark streak.
Right now, Ace knew he needed to get as far as possible from this place. Although he knew there might not be anyone left alive after that apocalyptic battle and heavenly punishment, he was sure that for this exact reason, he needed to flee.
Because this place was still close to the Runic King Crown Palace and Bloody Moon King Sect, moreover, he was ninety percent certain that Jake's group might be able to escape the Heavenly Punishment, and there was a chance they would bring someone far more powerful here.
When the Heavenly Punishment was still active, Ace wasn't worried about others interfering unless they wanted to die miserably. But now that it is over, many will come here to investigate, and this will probably cause a massive commotion once they see the destructive sight!
That's why Ace's top priority was to leave while his thief symbol summoning was still active, and he found a place to finish his breakthrough.
With the Devilish Wise Owl's wings' speed, he covered hundreds of miles within over thirty seconds, and with the stealth of the Devil's Law Horns, he didn't need to worry about being discovered. Lastly, nothing can hide from the Devil's Insightful Eyes.
In fifty seconds, Ace crossed the entire central region of the Vindictive Ridged Valley, and on his way, he was almost half of the central area filled with the residue of heavenly punishment.
'The range of Heavenly Punishment is becoming wider and wider, thus making it more difficult for me to hide it. If this continues, someday, it might cover the entire world…' Ace mused with a grave expression while continuing towards the exit of the valley; only a little over a minute was left unit the time his wings and horns ran out.
The time would've been long over if not for the increased duration after his abrupt breakthrough.
[Warning: Only 4 seconds remain before the Auxiliary Law will be randomly selected!]
[Warning: Only 4 seconds remain before the Auxiliary Law will be randomly selected!]
Ace looked at the system's notification before he replied with pursed lips, "Select destruction!" He knew he couldn't hold this any longer, or if some random auxiliary law were chosen, he'd regret it forever.
The moment he selected the auxiliary law, the suppressed spirit Qi instantly broke free, and the circulation of his Qi was also disrupted.
Ace quickly descended to the middle of the trees, activated the thief's house without hesitation, and entered while he camouflaged its entrance. He was now very close to the valley's exit but couldn't stop this breakthrough any longer. Furthermore, he didn't dare to complete his breakthrough in the open, afraid of getting found out. Completing it in the thief's house was the best option.
Once Ace entered the hall of the Thief's House, he quickly sat down cross-legged; he didn't even have time to go to his own chamber. But as long as he was inside the Thief's House protection, it doesn't matter anymore. The moment of breakthrough was near. As he meditated in perfect silence, a sudden surge of Qi exploded within him, shaking his core.
At this moment, a blurry pitch-black phantom with a fiery radiance around its chest materialized behind Ace; unlike before, it was now more detailed and imposing.
His cultivation heart shone brightly around the phantom's chest and pulsed powerfully as it resonated with the laws!
Ace's aura rose like a tidal wave, and more arcane patterns formed on his cultivation heart. At this moment, a spark ignited within, and the surrounding air crackled with primordial Qi.
The dark phantom behind Ace's suddenly twisted and turned into a dense sphere; it was his world seed! His inner world was filled with dense Primordial Spirit Qi, like lighting clouds, and expanded. The world seed suddenly trembled as if about to burst, reaching its limit.
The first three realms, Ascension Soldier, Ascension Warrior, and Ascension Grand General of Law State, were about refinement, integration, and formation of the world seed, respectively.
Once a cultivator completes these three steps, they will encounter a Heavenly Law Tribulation of Early Stage, and that's why these three realms were also known as the Early Stages of Law State.
However, from the fourth realm to the Sixth Realm, a Law State Cultivation entered the Intermediate Stages of the Law State.
The first stage of the intermediate stages of Law State was the Nascent Spirit Soul/Body World, titled Ascension Master. In this stage, the cultivator completes the formation of the World Seed, and then the world turns into a Nascent World.
An Ascension Master was capable of flying in the Mortal Ascension Heaven, and their prime laws could interfere with the world's laws on a very small scale.
At this moment, Ace's world seed was also transforming into a Nascent World and a primordial one. As his world was taking its shape, his empty world was also transforming, as lands began to appear because of the law of Creation, and then the sky was filled with astral light because of astral law. Then, the lands and sky started to turn chaotic and filled with destruction; this scene was in strange harmony. The phantom of his world seed suddenly transformed into a glob of darkness surrounded by three ethereal rings of white, astral blue, and dark gray. At this moment, his heart thumped, syncing with the pulse of his Nascent World, and his aura reached its limit as a terrifying power seeped into Ace's entire body. Once Ace's cultivation heart was in complete unison with the World Seed, a deafening silence filled Ace's mind. Ace's cultivation surged to new heights. The Qi within his body expanded, overwhelming and boundless. Ace had crossed another huge threshold.
As the breakthrough was finalized, Ace felt a profound change. Suddenly, his Law Thief Sense stirred and began to grow stronger as it expanded again. He hadn't had time to notice it before, but now he could clearly sense it.
His Law Thief Sense had reached a 50,000-mile radius, but it still wasn't over because the very next moment, his sword phantom suddenly appeared behind him and started to undergo a profound change!
