Chapter 883 Sixth Realm of Martial and Soul
<nulli>'Enteral Thief's Sword Style, Terror Sky Sword Storm!'
A dark Qi storm suddenly descended right when Heaven's Terminate Manifestations were about to pierce Ace, and thereby, they were sent flying while leaving huge chunks of their bodies made with heavenly thunder.
Taking advantage of this situation, Ace used Page-09 like a blade and slashed it into Heaven's Terminate Manifestation with bow arms body, which had lost its helpers.
The moment page-09 came in contact with Heaven's Terminate Manifestation, a huge suction force appeared, and the heavenly thunder started to sink into page-09.
Furthermore, its speed was so fast that even Ace was astounded,<nulli> 'Maybe it's because it has become more complete after absorbing so much heavenly thunder!' Ace mused as within seconds, the bow hands Heaven's Terminate Manifestation was gone.
Without losing his chance, he grabbed falling page-09, and he moved towards the whip arms Heaven's Terminate Manifestation, which was the second Heaven's Terminate Manifestation with a ranged weapon made with soul-type heavenly thunder.
Using his footwork, he closed the distance and slashed page-09 into Heaven's Terminate Manifestation, and it clearly tried to resist by releasing a massive amount of heavenly thunder, but page-09 was unfazed as it absorbed it like it was water.
At this moment, the fine hair on his back stood in alarm, and Ace instantly swung his body and used page-09 as a shield.
<nulli>"Chee…"
Thereafter, a thunderous sound rang as the thunder spear was blocked in the nick of time before it could pierce into his neck. Moreover, like a magnet, page-09 didn't let go of that thunder spear the moment it came in contact with it and started to absorb it like the previous two.
No matter how much Heaven's Terminate Manifestation tried to resist, page-09 didn't let go, and its size decreased like crazy.
However, Ace didn't have time to pay attention to it because the sword arms Heaven's Terminate Manifestation was taking this chance to pierce his head from the left side.
Ace instantly let go of page-09, and two swords appeared in his hand, and he blocked the attack!
Cracking began to appear on the grade-7 swords as the heavenly thunder kept intensifying, and Ace found himself pushed back, which was bad news.
Nonetheless, Ace wasn't worried, and he used his own heavenly Qi and dark lighting manifested on the blades, which only intensified their destruction.
Still, he couldn't care less about the swords and instantly performed another sword move.
<nulli>'Despair Lighting Draw!' Sword intent created with heavenly Qi rage between the two swords as the blades made with thunder finally started to cut, and using his strength, he let loose a cry and released all the Qi. The next moment, his swords cut through not only the thunder blades but the Heaven's Terminate Manifestation itself, leaving a dark 'X' mark behind while his swords turned into dust.
<nulli>'haa…' Ace panted heavily as he looked at the spitting Heaven's Terminate Manifestation and didn't give it a chance to reassemble and search for page-09.
He instantly spotted it falling after it absorbed the Heaven's Terminate Manifestation with spear arms and used his Qi to grab it and then throw it in at the decapitated Heaven's Terminate Manifestation as it started to show the sing of reassembling.
Like before, once page-09 came in contact with the heavenly thunder, it didn't let go until it fully devoured it. As for the thunder debris, Ace decided to absorb it himself.
After dealing with the four Heaven's Terminate Manifestations, Ace landed back on the ground with a pale complexion and looked up with a grim expression. He was hoping that it was the end of it or things would turn dangerous if even more of Heaven's Terminate Manifestations showed up.
At this moment, heavenly punishment clouds rumbled furiously, but they seemed to be finally empty after creating six Heaven's Terminate Manifestations in total, and after leaving behind a final reluctant thunderous roar, they started to dissipate just as fast as they came.
Ace smiled with ecstasy because, this time, he had given his all without holding back anything and used any means necessary to deal with the Heavenly punishment, and for the time, he was without any injuries.
"I guess this is my win again," Ace muttered as he drooped on his back and caught his breath. He then looked at page-09 and found the characters on it were becoming more apparent, but they were still unreadable.
"Just what kind of mystery are you hiding?" Ace questioned softly while looking at the page-09 with scrutiny.
In the end, he chuckled in self-mockery, <nulli>'Now I'm taking to a page, huh?' Shaking his head, he stowed it away as he knew as long as he kept feeding it heavenly punishments, he would eventually find the mystery of page-09.
Right at this moment, the system's voice rang, which he had been waiting for,
<nullb>=====
<nullb>[Congratulation, Host, for successfully crossing the fifth form of Heavenly Punishment!]
<nullb>---
<nullb>[Martial and Soul breakthrough process has been started!] <nullb>=====
Just as the system's voice trailed off, the surrounding air, containing the heavenly thunder aura, suddenly vibrated, and a massive amount of heavenly Qi started to pour into his martial and soul space, just like previous breakthroughs.
At this moment, as the dense heavenly Qi pumped into his martial space, the corporeal dark figure in a hood, which was a martial dark soul, started to absorb all the heavenly Qi like a bottomless pit in its tiny body.
As the dark soul devours the heavenly Qi, its corporeal figure becomes more and more solid as it grows slightly. Furthermore, the connection between him and the dark soul becomes deeper.
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened. The dark soul suddenly started to tremble and jumped out of the martial space and appeared right above Ace's head!
While his eyes closed, Ace could see everything around him through the eyes of the dark soul, and it didn't stop there, as the dark soul grew even more until it was the same size as Ace, like an avatar, and the surrounding space was showing the sing of collapsing.
This was the manifestation of the soul and a sign of successfully achieving the soul manifestation realm where draw their soul outside their bodies and control it at will!
If someone looked at the dark soul's hooded face now, they could only feel a bottomless abyss.
The next moment, the dark soul suddenly vanished from above his head and appeared back into the martial space, but it was of the same size as before, just more real.
Thereafter, a dark blue chain shot from the dark void and pierced into the dark soul's hooded head and started to shimmer in a dark blue hue, and tiny dark blue symbols began to emerge over the dark figure, making Ace tremble with palpitations.
But it won't last long as the symbols vanish quickly after being fully etched onto the dark soul. The blue chain trembled before it retracted into the dark void, leaving the dark hooded corporeal figure, who sat in the middle of the empty martial space cross-legged.
Right at this moment thereafter, a majestic aura spread from the dark soul, and a powerful suction force appeared around his body, and heavenly Qi poured into his martial space and started to fill it with despair lightning Qi at a breakneck pace.
His Qi has been evaluated not only in quantity but quality as well, and this could only mean he has successfully entered the soul manifestation realm.
At this moment, his true soul started to stir and filled with heavenly soul Qi.
The bright golden soul core started to change color as it became deeper and deeper until it turned completely pitch black and looked like a blazing black sun and started to release the black soul Qi, which was far more potent than the previous golden soul Qi.
At this moment, the black soul Qi started to get absorbed by the Eternal Thief Fate Compass, and the treasure aura became more ethereal and majestic while the soul sword core remained dormant after absorbing the heavenly thunder, but its aura was far stronger than before.
Finally, Ace's thief sense also started to grow from a 21-mile radius to 25 miles… 30 … and it finally stopped at a 33-mile radius!
But this was far from over because a platinum soul core started to form around the golden soul core, just like the crimson-purple, white, and green soul cores, and started to revolve around the massive heavenly black wind soul core.
At this moment, Ace's entire demeanor changes as his aura climbs to new heights, and all his exhaustion is long washed away. Now, he was feeling the power of a whole different realm!
