Chapter 896 The Secret of Top Three Races
Ace and Winter used their stealth skills to hide their presence from being discovered as they descended into the vortex eye on a flying sword, where the three ancestors had vanished a few minutes ago.
No one had thought that two thieves would be bold enough to tail after the three most powerful figures in the world.
Ace was paying close attention to the fate map, and the area of the vortex eye was still surprisingly dyed in light silver color while the three ancestors were black fate points, and two of them had unique marks of the elemental orbs on them, which was the result of his previous vague encounter with them when he escaped the moon secret realm.
Right now, Ace's stealth was at a terrifying level that even those three ancestors wouldn't be able to sense him if they didn't use their full strength. Ace wasn't sitting around while he was chasing after them, and right now, his skills have all increased tremendously.
As for Winter, her genre was made for this sort of mission, and when it came to stealth, she was on the same level as Ace.
Suddenly, the moment Ace and Winter dived into the vortex eyes, they felt a terrifying Qi undulation in the surrounding space, strong enough to tear anyone below the Qi soul realm apart. Furthermore, a powerful soul undulation was also affecting their minds.
But they only show minor concern, and Ace continued to steer down into the darkness while Winter trusted him enough to remain calm. She knew if Ace sensed danger, he would be the first one to retreat.
Ace continued to descend while keeping a close eye on the targets, which seemed to be right in front of them, but he couldn't sense them with his thief sense. In fact, because of the strange undulation in the surrounding space, he couldn't sense anything more than a few meters around him.
Right at this moment, a bright light spot appeared at an unknown distance away from them.
"That's the way out?" Winter transmitted her voice through the house call.
They both decided to communicate through the house call, which was far more secure and stealthily. So, they activated it just before diving into the vortex.
Ace replied while he decreased his speed and moved towards the light spot, "I hope so. Let's hope they won't close it after entering. I don't know for sure, but this is clearly not just some water vortex. I think this is a teleportation channel within the space current."
"Oh, what is this space current?" Winter curiously asked since it was the first time she heard this term, and she could also tell this wasn't just some water vortex.
Ace then gave her the general explanation that the system gave him once when he jumped into the space tear while escaping from the Demon Ancestor Albert.
Winter's eyes shone with realization and astonishment after hearing about Space Turbulence that exists outside the world's space.
She asked another question, "So, the secret realms exist in this space turbulence?"
Ace nodded, "As far as I know. But this is far above our level, so there might be more to it. Anyway, it seemed the three races were hiding a secret realm from the world, and no one had thought that it was hidden in the backyard of the demon race."
"Heh, I have to admit, it's a pretty good hiding spot. Furthermore, I don't think even if someone knew about this space, they could enter as they please. It's quite clear only those three know how to open this passage." Winter stated.
Ace nodded in agreement, and they finally reached the light spot. But before entering, he gave Winter a stern warning, "Alright, we don't know what's on the other side. Just in case, we should change in demon disguises. Even if we were found, we can make up some story."
"I was just going to say the same." Winter gibed but did as she was told and activated the Demon Fleet Captain Hazel disguise.
On the other hand, Ace merely smiled before he activated Demon Sword Feng's disguise. Their clothes also changed into traditional demon continent clothes, and then they both moved into the light.
The moment they entered the light, they both felt a powerful suction force and space gripping around their bodies, and the next moment, their entire vision changed.
The bright blue sky was above them, while below them was a mountain range, and what they both noticed next were dense martial Qi and soul Qi in the air. However, soon, their eyes suddenly widened when they spotted three triangular mountains, and they were the tallest mountain in this entire space.
"This is a secret realm?" Winter questioned with astonishment since it was her first time entering a secret realm, and it was completely different from the outside world.
"Indeed, every secret realm has a different kind of static sky. The concept of day and night didn't exist in a secret realm." Ace solemnly stated as he looked at the three triangular mountains on the horizon, "Our targets seemed to have headed towards those strange mountains."
"Do you want to chase after them? Let's scout this place first and gather information." Winter suggested.
Ace nodded whiteout hesitation, "Yes, this would make it much easier to devise a plan. Let's slowly move toward the three mountains while we keep an eye out for living beings."
Without delay, Ace moved toward the central triangular mountain. Since his targets were already marked in the fate map, he could find them easily, and he was sure that they wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon, so collecting information was their top priority.
.cοm Furthermore, Ace didn't know why, but this place was not like the other secret realms he had ever been in. But he can't put his finger on what was different about this place.
Nonetheless, he focused on the matter at hand, which was to collect the remaining two keys before activating the map.
Just a few miles away from the triangular mountain, Ace and Winter spotted a city right on the footing of the mountain, and they immediately spotted people!
