'No specific skills this time?' Ace showed fleeting surprise before he smiled in contentment, 'Well, I still have many skills to master, so it's not a big deal. But this Black Domain seemed quite peculiar.' Ace's eyes shimmered as he could feel his newly awakened ability and its information in his mind. He could only explain this single ability with one word, and that was 'terrifying', and its only downside was its small range! He wanted to try it out on someone, but there wasn't anyone around, so he had no choice but to put it on halt for now. 'Should I try my luck and absorb the wind orb as well?' Ace mused with a serious expression. It was the first time that he had access to more than one elemental orb, so he was uncertain what would happen if he tried to absorb the second one right away. If it were dangerous, the system would've at least warned him, but it never had, even after he inquired. Furthermore, he was at his peak and far stronger than before, but then he shook his head, 'Nah, I should at least wait until my summoning abilities' cooldown period ends or until I complete all the prerequisites. There's no point in taking the unnecessary risk. I should keep this as a trump card, just in case something happened like earlier. It's a very good way to kill or scare off the enemies.' Ace's eyes shone as he didn't forget about being surrounded by those sea beasts and the mysterious person on this island who was able to flee the heavenly punishment. So, he decided to keep the elemental orb for now and will only use it if necessary. The next Heavenly Punishment will be to break into the Law Awareness Realm, which means it would be far more terrifying than this one. So, just to be safe, Ace wanted to prepare and polish his skills further and get more familiar with his newly gained power. Who knows how many Heaven's Terminate Manifestations would descend the next time? At this moment, Ace was about to order the system to absorb the Qi stones and Soul crystals and raise his cultivation realm directly to stage 9 of both martial and soul, just as he did last time when a deep, familiar voice sounded. "Did you succeed in ascension?" Ace jumped in surprise as he scanned the areas. In front of him was the endless sea while the island was behind, but that voice clearly came from the endless sea's direction. He couldn't help but think that voice was extremely familiar. 'It's that guy!' It finally struck him when he looked at the live fate map, which was also upgraded a rank now, and he instantly spotted the black fate point with a glittering silver circle around it. Ace's heart sank. He thought that this guy had escaped using some teleportation treasures and wouldn't bother to come back and mess with him after seeing the heavenly punishment, yet here he was.
'Could it be he's here to reclaim his island, and what is ascension?' Uncertain but vigilant, Ace tries to keep his calm while secretly ready to escape the moment things turn south. Since the other party wanted to talk and didn't attack, things were still good for him. "It's rude not to show your face while talking to someone." Ace coldly stated while looking in the direction where the black fate point was hidden. Even with his improved thief sense, he still couldn't get anything on this person, which meant he was too strong for him. Furthermore, since he was still hiding, this could only mean he was still considering the heavenly punishment and was just as wary of him as Ace was of him. Taking advantage of these sorts of situations was Ace's biggest forte. "Hmph, I guess it was indeed impolite of me not to introduce myself first, and you're worthy enough for the honor." Just as the voice trailed off, something started to rise from underwater, and Ace's eyes widened when he saw the shadow, which was around 100 meters wide, and the surrounding pressure started to increase like crazy!
'Splash…' The water splattered as a huge fusiform-shaped body appeared in his view. Its back was entirely made out of inky black feathers, while its front was white with a small patch of crimson feathers below its neck. With two completely purple eyes filled with intelligent, long, hooked black beaks, it looked like a raven, but it wasn't because it had two flipper-like wings. "I'm the Sea King from Calamity King Penguins Race; my name is Pen!" As Pen arrogantly introduced himself, its voice sounded without his huge beak being open, and its curious yet angry eyes were affixed on Ace.
Ace felt his heart palpitate when he felt he couldn't fathom Pen's cultivation, just like the Union Leader, and he knew this opponent was way out of his league. Furthermore, Pen's body was still more than half underwater, yet it was massive enough to cast a shadow of half of the island. Now he wonders how in the world he fit in this place before or if he was capable of beast transformation like a magic beast race. Whichever the case was, one thing was clear: Pen wasn't from the lands, but the endless sea, and Ace needed to be very careful about how he proceeded from this point on!
