Eternal Thief - #591 - 591 Dark-Gold Despair Thunder!

They were even more shocked at Ace’s puking blood as the mask on his face dropped, making his ashen complexion surface in everyone’s worrying view.

“What is going on here?” Freya felt something extremely wrong, but she still picked up small Cyrus, who seemed to be even more confused than them.

“Here, take this storage ring. Now, go! I’ll explain after this is all over. Run at your full speed!” Ace yelled in a cold voice as he tossed a storage ring toward Noa.

“You better explain it!” Freya had no choice but to obey since she could tell

Noa looked deeply at Ace with worried eyes as she caught the ring, but she didn’t hesitate to leave since if it involved the goddess, they could do nothing but watch.

Ace then took out all the remaining Qi recovery pills he had bought from the System in the past and consumed them all, making his expression somewhat better.

After enduring for almost five minutes, his cold voice transmitted into his mind at this moment, “System, filled the reaming cap of Soul Points and started the absorption process of lightning orb!”

Although the circumstances were not what he had expected, he knew this was a heaven-defying opportunity. So, he sent those three out just in case he went unconscious after this whole ordeal.

Heavenly Punishment will alert many existences in these mountains, or even demons might investigate. But with those three working together, they will not be much to worry about.

Especially Cyrus, who could suppress others’ bloodlines like it was nothing.

The next moment, the soul materials from his thief’s space vanished, and a massive amount of soul Qi entered his true soul.

The System’s notification also started to buzz in his mind.

=====

[All requirements for the next realm breakthrough have been fulfilled!]

[Process of absorbing Nature’s Lightning Elemental Orb has begun!]

[The Third [Heavenly Punishment of Body and Soul] will start in ten seconds!]

—

[Warning: The Heavenly Punishment will descend during the process of absorption. It will be immediately stopped if the host faints or loses consciousness during the process. Thereby, the host will die!]

=====

At this moment, the scepter in the thief’s space suddenly started to tremble violently as if it was gripped by something and wanted to free itself.

The purple lightning orb also shimmered with dangerous lightning, but it was completely suppressed by this invisible force.

Right at this moment, runes suddenly started to appear on the scepter staff, and the crown holding the orb also revealed a pitch-black barrier encasing the orb, which was invisible before.

Yet, cracks started to appear on this barrier before it blasted like glass, revealing the orb again.

However, the scepter suddenly shrank, leaving the orb and three things on the floor.

A black jade scroll, a black crystal key, and a cracked black formation plate.

Ace, who was paying attention to the orb, was startled when he saw the scepter falling apart like this. But he didn’t have time as the purple color element essential of the lighting orb started to gush out.

The System’s voice rang at this moment,

=====

[The Third Heavenly Punishment [Golden Despair Thunder] has been detected!]

[Warning: The Heavenly Punishment sensed Host’s Qi Sea!]

[Warning: The Heaven is angry!]

[Warning: The Heavenly Punishment has been strengthened!]

[Strengthened Heavenly Punishment: Dark-Gold Despair Thunder!]

—

[System recommends finding an isolated place, or the Heavenly Punishment will annihilate all the living in a 10-mile radius around the host!]

=====

Ace’s eyes shone hysterically when he read those new warning notifications which had never appeared before.

‘Heaven is angry, huh?’ Ace sneered coldly.

Despite struggling against that piercing pain in body and soul, he was full of fighting spirit.

“Rubmleeee…”

An explosive voice fell into Ace’s ears, almost making him deaf. Heaven had announced its thunderous arrival!

All the treasures on his body vanished since he didn’t want them to get destroyed.

Freya, Noa, and Cyrus, still a little bit away from crossing the 10-mile mark, felt their bodies numb as their hearts palpated.

A deadly pressure started to descend, crushing over their bodies.

“T-this? What is happening?!” Freya was pale.

“Rumbleeee…”

As if her question was answered by heaven itself, the pressure started to intensify as those two women’s speed significantly plummeted, and they were now crawling forward!

The night sky started to turn pitch black at this moment with pitch-black thunderclouds. They came out of nowhere.

Cyrus, who was sitting over Freya’s shoulder, looked up with a fearful expression while the two women were busy gathering their strength to escape this pressure.

But they were both feeling helpless as that pressure kept getting stronger and stronger as if it wanted to lock them into their places.

Ace’s ambiguous words came into their mind, ‘Goddess Trial!’

Just what kind of trial was this?

A huge rumbling of thunder sounded from above at this moment, almost making the entire ground shine in pale golden light for a moment.

“I’m going to use my fire, and you two have to leave in 10 seconds, or we’ll all going to die!” Cyrus’s voice was solemn as a memory surfaced in his mind from his bloodline.

Those two couldn’t speak, but they were shocked because Cyrus sounded quite serious.

The next moment, Cyrus opened its small beak and shot sky-blue color fire, and this fire enveloped all three of them as the pressure almost vanished.

Both women felt a ghastly cold aura from that fire, but they had no time to inquire since they only had ten seconds, and they used their strongest skills to run!

The inky clouds were condescending into a lightning-filled vortex as it expanded larger and larger, revolving at an incredible pace.

Golden thunderbolts suddenly started to shoot down all over the ten-mile vicinity under the inky clouds.

At the last second, Noa and Freya managed to leave the vicinity of heavenly punishment as Cyrus retracted its fire, but the little guy looked skinny from his cute chubby self.

But its eyes were filled with fear as it looked toward the punishment clouds, “How did master offend heaven?”

“Offend heaven?” With an ashen face, Freya didn’t understand what it meant as she was still busy running for her life.

However, they stopped when they were a mile away as the pressure or lightning no longer affected them. They finally got the chance to see the lightning vortex on the horizon.

Even their eyes felt piercing pain for some reason.

“Don’t look, or you might get noticed by it!” Cyrus sternly warned in his child-like voice.

“Just what is that? Heavenly Wrath?” Noa couldn’t help but ask with a deep concern for Ace.

They couldn’t even stand straight under that pressure, and it was clearly here for Ace, and he was right in the center of it. They didn’t dare to imagine how he could survive this or why he was even targeted by this lightning cloud.

“He didn’t offend Goddess, right?” Freya’s imagination runs wild.

“Bommmm…”

Their attention was suddenly drawn by a terrifying thunder sound, and they saw a thick pillar of dark gold lightning shot down!

Ace’s blood ran cold when he felt that terrifying pressure, which was a hundred times stronger than he had felt that day at the demon temple.

At this moment, the entire mountain was blasted apart as the thick pillar of dark gold lightning descent over Ace’s body, completely enveloping him!

Blood-curdling lightning started to run wild all over Ace’s body as it wanted to obliterate him completely.

Madness surfaced in Ace’s bloodshot eyes as if he was waiting for this, he didn’t take out page-09 to shield himself, but he started to absorb the lightning into his martial space.

The black sword enveloped by the Qi suddenly trembled when the dark gold lightning invaded Ace’s martial space, and with Ace’s will, it shot toward the lightning before it could destroy the depleted Qi sea.

The lighting also seemed to be sensing the approach of that small sword, and as if it got offended by the puny sword, it instantly attacked it.

The heavenly thunder instantly encased the pitch-black sword.

However, something completely unexpected happened. The heavenly thunder started to shrink at a terrifying speed. The sword was absorbing the heavenly thunder!

Ace instantly felt the deadly pain and despair sensation on him getting lighter as the heavenly thunder was getting absorbed in his body.

“It’s a success. It’s a success! Hahahaha…” Ace suddenly laugh out loud toward the sky, “My thief sword core can steal anything, even heavenly lightning. Hahahaha!”

Although burring marks and blood were dripping from all over his body, Ace was still ecstatic as he could feel the sword devouring the lightning, and his body was also undergoing some kind of change.

However, it was just the first strike, and the heavenly punishment clouds rumbled ragingly the next moment when the first lightning pillar didn’t do its job.

Three dark gold lightning pillars menacingly shot toward Ace like three unstoppable hammers!
