Eternal Thief - #665 - 665 A Stanger

Ace was in disbelief when he saw the light and the shadowy mountain range, which was completely absurd but not impossible as well.

He was who knows where, and this place was filled with things that could kill any cultivators hundreds of times before they could even reach this place.

Furthermore, even if someone by any chance reached this place, can they even go back?

Ace wondered as he found himself approaching the light, and to his surprise, the compass was still pointing in that direction, and the water current also seemed to be going right toward those shadow mountains.

However, the place was still pitch black, which meant this place was quite dangerous, so he was completely on high alert as he approached the light.

With the water current, it didn’t take Ace long before he was a few feet away from the white glow. He didn’t find any danger from it as well as he let himself get submerged in it.

However, the moment he submerged into the light, a strange scene took place. Ace seemed to cross over into a completely different place because he saw his surroundings were completely bright, and the water current from before was nowhere to be as he gently floated over a calm, crystal-clear water body.

The most absurd thing was the lush mountain range ahead of him, and this place was filled with Qi.

Ace was in complete disbelief and instantly looked back, and he was flabbergasted when he saw behind him a blackness as the black mist and water from a moment ago had completely vanished. It was like an empty void behind him.

However, when he looked at the fate map, he was astonished because he was now in a gray area while the back area was still completely black. The fate map was now half gray and a half gray.

‘Just what is this place?’ Ace scrutinized his surrounding as he could see the clear water and the mountain range ahead, which he couldn’t see the end of.

Ace then tries to use Qi to turn back into the black zone, but to his surprise, the moment he approaches the blackness, he feels a wall blocking his way ahead.

His heart churned as he tried to use force, but he was completely blocked by the indivisible wall, and his expression clouded because this was not good.

‘Am I trapped in another realm again?’ Ace was in disbelief and quickly asked the system, “System is this another secret realm?” He didn’t want to believe that his luck was so rotten that he entered another secret realm right after leaving one.

Furthermore, he approached this place on his own accord. No one forced him to.

However, the system’s reply left him flabbergasted.

“[No. The host hadn’t entered any secret realm.]”

“Then you me I’m still in Golden Sky World?” Ace quickly shot another question.

However, he met with the system’s usual silence, which made him frown darkly. But he already got the answer he sought, so he could only try to figure it out himself.

‘Since I’m not in the secret realm, this place should be some strange island like the demon’s three forbidden countries. I should try to explore and see where I am. There might be another exit on the other side of this island.’ Ace quickly calmed down when he reached this conclusion.

He had seen quite a lot in these past years, so he wasn’t ignorant anymore, and panicking won’t lead him anywhere, so he could only keep his mind cool and hope for the best.

He used his Qi to control the plank and moved toward the land, which was still over two miles away from the edge of the blankness.

While going ahead, Ace looked at the sky, which was also golden, so he was now even more sure that he was really on the mainland and no longer agitated like before.

Then he noticed the crystal-clear water, and he noticed the pristine silvery sea bed, which was really out of place, and there was no sea beast or sea flora and fauna.

‘Is this made by men or nature?’ He wondered since anything was possible in the cultivation world, and he didn’t dare to jump to conclusions.

As he approached the land, he felt the Qi was getting even denser. It was almost at the level of the Royal Demon Country.

‘Just what kind of place is this? Who would believe that this place is hidden within a thick radiation fog? If I’m not wrong, that radiation is over 20 points which are deadlier to even Law Awareness Realm cultivators.’ Ace mused with a grave expression as the fear of the unknown was something far worse than anything.

But Ace’s thought process was disrupted when he felt his thief sense tingle and instantly looked at the fate map. He was startled when he saw a red fate point approaching right in his direction.

Vigilant, he quickly put his hood on, and his mask appeared on his face before his appearance started to change under the hood.

Since the other party was dyed red then, it meant it would definitely attack him when it saw him, so he was prepared.

Thereafter, just when he was a few hundred feet away from the land, the fate point also appeared in his view, and to his surprise, the fate point didn’t appear on land but in the sky!

He thought it was some aerial beast, but to his astonishment, when he saw clearly, it was a humanoid figure ridding a sky-blue streak and was cutting past winds like a sharp blade.

Ace felt his eyes were playing tricks on him, but they weren’t, and suddenly, that sky-blue steak suddenly stopped a few meters above him, making its appearance clear for Ace to see.

Ace’s eyes contracted when he saw this 5’11 feet tall figure wearing ancient blue design robes and a blazing sun symbol over his chest, standing over a long sword with its hands behind his back like an imposing being.

But what made Ace stunned was that figure was a Human!
