Chapter 839 A Silver Wyvern?
If Ace hadn't seen with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there were two colossal mountains instead of just one!
The Sun Mountain had completely vanished without a trace, and there was only an empty grass field in its place, which gave Ace a very shady feeling.
'Can a secret realm vanish an entire mountain?' Ace wondered with a grim look. But the answer to his question was right in front of him, and despite not wanting to believe it, he knew it had something to do with the Sun Secret Realm's destruction.
'I think it's called the Heaven's Secret for this sort of reason…' Ace mused as this was the only explanation he could think of. Anything related to Heaven was no joke, and he was living proof of just what it means to be going against Heaven.
Nevertheless, Ace collected his chaotic thoughts as he knew he couldn't avoid this sort of aftermath on his current mission. He needed to be ready for all sorts of after-effects if he was dealing with Heaven's Secret.
'So, if the Sun Mountain is gone, then what about the sun domain members? Are they now residing on Moon Mountain?' Ace thought as it was a possible outcome or, in the worst case, they were all dead, which was highly unlikely given the high union elders' prowess.
But it didn't change the fact that he needed to enter that place for him to head into the Moon Secret Realm.
Ace then bound his resolve and moved towards the colossal silver mountain while flying at a very low altitude. It didn't take him long before the moon mountain entrance entered his thief sense range.
(Thief Sense Range: 21 Miles Radius)
However, he was instantly stopped in his trace and almost fled when he suddenly spotted an anomaly right in front of the colossal silver gate of the moon domain. There was a black fate point right beside the moon domain's gate!
Ace instantly stopped flying to hide all the Qi fluctuations, if there were any. Then he scanned that place with scrutiny. Then he noticed only one anomaly, which was a gigantic silver wyvern statue lying right in front of the silver gate!
Ace had seen the golden and silver wyverns' statues in the union, but that silver wyvern was extremely vivid, and its scales were more shinning and glistering, like platinum, as if he was made of entirely platinum and sleeping right now.
'Wait, don't tell me…' Ace's eyes went wide with sheer disbelief as he looked at the black fate point and then looked towards the statue of the silver wyvern.
Then he carefully compared the fate point and the statue's locations, and his heartbeat widely, 'They are the in the same position. But isn't a Wyvern legendary existence? If they are real, then they should be at least on the level of Cyrus's race, or they are not as legendary as the ancient text made them be…'
Ace mused as he wasn't rejecting the idea that wyverns can't exist. He was just confused about whether they were as legendary as they were claimed to be or they were just rumors.
The magic beast race was no weak race, so to speak of, and Cyrus-like existences were part of that race. So, wyverns shouldn't be any different. But their prowess was a mystery to him.
But if that statue was really alive and was the same black fate point showing on the map, then that silver wyvern was at least at the peak of Law Awareness Realm, and Ace was no match for it.
'Don't tell me the Union was hiding this Wyvern all this time, and it only appeared because of the matter with the Sun Mountain, and now it's just a guard dog of the Moon Mountain.' Ace mused grimly as it wasn't good news at all since he needed to go past that Wyvern or whatever thing was hiding in its sham.
But just to make sure, he asked the system, "System, is that a real Wyvern or just a statue?"
Although he didn't have high hope of getting an answer, he still wanted the system to shed some light so he could prepare accordingly.
"[That's not a real wyvern for they can't exist in the mortal sky heaven, but an Elemental Orb Guardian which had taken a shape of a Wyvern!]"
Ace was gobsmacked when he heard this unexpected answer, "Wait? It's also a corpse?"
"[No, it's alive and has fully integrated its intelligence with its corresponding elemental orb. Meaning, it's as intelligent as any living being under the mortal sky!]"
Ace's heart churned as he wasn't expecting this answer at all, but at the same time, his eyes glowed with massive anticipation, "If it's alive, then this means its elemental orb is also in the union, right?! So, if I'm not wrong about it, out of all the remaining elemental orbs, the Ice Elemental Orb's guardian is dead, and the orb is missing. That guardian sure ain't look like the orb guardian of a dark orb, which left with either the Wind or the Metal Element Orbs!"
"[It's the Orb Guardian of the Metal Elemental Orb. But the Metal Orb is not in this space.]"
"Not in this space?" Ace asked with uncertainty before his eyes winded when he suddenly thought about the Yang Orb he got in the Sun Secret Realm, "So, that orb is in the Moon Secret Realm like the Yang Orb, which was in the Sun Secret Realm as its energy source?"
"[Your conjecture might be right or might not. It's for you to find out. But be warned, host, the metal orb is also like the yang orb. It has also undergone three evaluations and now is trued into a Platinum Orb! Which made that orb guardian a Law Comprehension Realm being!]"
"[Furthermore, if you spent 100,000 thief points, system will tell you about a very interesting fact.]"
Ace was speechless when he heard the Platinum Orb Guardian's strength and wondered just how the Union could control it. But it was also quite obvious since all the orb guardian has only one weakness. Once you control that weakness, they will be easily manipulated, no matter their strength or intelligence. But it was still terrifying nonetheless.
However, System's last crook-like suggestion truly drew Ace's attention as it had never done that before, and that voice wasn't emotionless as well. In the end, Ace was simply too curious for his own good.
"Alright, I'll bite." He agreed, and then the system revealed something which almost gave him a stroke!
