Chapter 882 Battle with Full Power!
Over a hundred miles away from the heavenly punishment clouds, a corporeal dark golden gate suddenly materialized in the middle of the endless sea.
The next moment, a person in a very sorry state walked out as his entire body was charred. But strangely, he didn't sink in the water and stood on it like solid ground, and the next moment, the dark golden gate vanished. A talisman in the man's hand also started to turn into ashes.
He twisted his head and looked back, and his bloodshot widened in shock when he saw a section of sea covered in pitch black clouds, and a thunderstorm was raging as the apocalypse had arrived.
<nulli>'Well, I'll be! That's not mad made at all! It's like the fury of god! Could it be because of that strange herb I was trying to refine and achieve ascension? So, the ancient records about ascension were true all along! <nulli>'No, this didn't make any sense. I'm still not there yet. It's all because of that stranger I tried to kill that this has happened! Who was he? Don't tell me there is someone else in this place who is closer to the ascension than me. <nulli>'But how can that be?! Who could've escaped the heavenly restriction?' He gritted his teeth as he stared at the dark clouds in disbelief,<nulli> 'I should wait and observe. If this person succeeds, then that's fine, but if he failed…' Killing intent shone in this person's eyes as he suddenly started to sink into the sea, and the next moment, his body started to twist and expand!

Ace stood on the ground with a somewhat pale complexion as the heavenly thunder filled his martial and soul space. He just killed and absorbed the second Heaven's Terminate Manifestation, which has soul thunder opposite to the previous one.
However, it wasn't easy to endure while the sword cores were absorbing the heavenly thunder. Although their speed was fast, they were still not fast enough, and now he was starting to run out of Qi while he was mentally exhausted because controlling so many swords with wind wasn't easy.
Nonetheless, Ace could clearly see the heavenly punishment wasn't over as it was accumulating more thunder, so he had no choice but to claim his reserve of EXP and SP as well as eat pills from the shop to replenish his Qis quickly.
Right at this moment, with a deafening thunderclap, Heaven's Terminate Manifestation crept out, but this time, it wasn't one or two; there were four!
Two of them were giving off a terrifying aura of martial Qi, and their arms were made out of sword blades and spears, while the other two were releasing soul undulations, and their arms were made like whips and bows.
<nulli>'What a drag!' Ace pursed pale lips, seeing the four incoming Heaven's Terminate Manifestation.
Ace was especially wary of Heaven's Terminate Manifestation with bow arms as he just fought it, and that guy was a long-range attacker and soul arrows made with heavenly thunder. That Heaven's Terminate Manifestation alone exhausts almost all of his soul Qi.
Furthermore, any attack other than the heavenly intent was almost futile, and that's why he needed his heavenly Qi to counter them.
Still, Ace knew better than to take unnecessary risks, and the heavenly thunder he got from the previous two Heaven's Terminate Manifestations seemed enough to light all the runes on his sword cores.
So, without hesitation, Ace took out his trump card, Page-09!
Flapping his wings, he directly flew towards the four Heaven's Terminate Manifestations. The spear arms and sword arms Heaven's Terminate Manifestations were at the very front like vanguard, while the bow arms Heaven's Terminate Manifestations were at the rear.
<nulli>'They're planning a systematic attack!' Ace easily saw through their tactics, and that was the exact reason he took out Page-09.
"Alright, you guys will be the first one I'm going to try sky steps against!"
All of a sudden, Ace's straight flight suddenly seemed strange as afterimages started to appear, and his motions became unpredictable.
The Misperception Sky Steps Art's final stage, the Sky Steps, was a mixture of Camouflage Steps, Lightning Steps, and Misperception Steps. Only after combining these three moves the Sky Steps could be achieved.
The aerial battles were the territory of the Law Awareness Realm Cultivators. But they could only fly after gaining an ability called the Elemental Resistance in this realm. This ability enables them to use their element to resist all other elements, including air.
Using this ability, a Law Awareness Realm Cultivator could step on air by using their element. But it still wasn't flight, and only a Law Comprehension Cultivator could truly flight.
Furthermore, a new law awareness realm cultivator wasn't a match for an experienced law awareness realm cultivator because the Elemental Resistance couldn't be mastered on a whim.
However, Ace not only had the ability of true flight, but he was very proficient in it, especially after he learned to manipulate his Qi to fly on a weapon. So, not only will sky steps give Ace the ability to move on air as long as he has Qi, but they will also allow him to maneuver and fight like he was on the ground.
After his epiphany, Ace was able to increase his skill levels like never before, and he achieved high-level proficiency in sky steps. It was just that it was too much Qi consuming, so he didn't use them earlier.
But now, facing four Heaven's Terminate Manifestations, he can't hold back.
Looking at Ace's afterimages, the Heaven's Terminate Manifestation with arrow arms unleashed a rain of thunder arrows.
Already predicting it, Ace wasn't startled and dodged the arrows while his afterimages were getting destroyed one after another like a mirage. However, as he kept increasing his speed, he left more afterimages.
The Heaven's Terminate Manifestations with sword and spear arms finally moved as they almost aimed at incoming Ace and released massive heavenly thunder strikes.
However, to their dismay, Ace had completely vanished, and only afterimages were left. At some point, Ace had used the Devil's Horn ability of Devil Horn Dark Owl.
Although it was a gamble since he didn't know if that stealth would work on them or not, he still wanted to try because this heavenly punishment was supposed to be for the soul realm cultivator.
Now, it appeared it had worked as those Heaven's Terminate Manifestations completely missed the real him. However, it was only a split second before they all moved in one direction when they realized Ace wasn't in those afterimages.
<nulli>'So, they could still lock on me, damn it!' Ace cussed when he felt his plan had almost failed.
Nonetheless, he was able to achieve his initial goal, which was to get closer to Heaven's Terminate Manifestation with bow arms. Even that split-second difference gave Ace enough time to unleash his sword skill in the middle of those four Heaven's Terminate Manifestations, with his primary target being the bow arms Heaven's Terminate Manifestation!
<nulli>'Enteral Thief's Sword Style, Terror Sky Sword Storm!'
