Eternal Thief

When the mysterious being within the abyss used the ghastly unknown attack, the entire secret realm lit up in crimson light, and a huge crimson light pillar became visible for everyone to see. No matter where the participants were, they all saw it.

"That direction…" Sofia's eyes shimmered with curiosity.

She was hiding a few hundred meters away from a grove of trees, and within this grove was a strange white plant with yellow runic patterns, and three strange golden white fruits were glittering.

This kind of scene was extremely strange within this black tree forest, and even from this distance, Sofia could feel that those fruits were extraordinary. She was planning to grab the entire plant but felt faint danger from that grove, so she was still mulling over how to proceed.

But now, seeing that crimson light pillar on the far horizon, she felt like her soul trembled a little and wasn't the only one. Those trees around her began to shake like crazy.

Sofia's heart turned cold as, for the first time, she sensed that these trees were not unmovable or like normal trees; even that grove of trees began to quiver, and faint eerie wails drifted in the air.

'This is my chance to grab that tree, and then I'll investigate that light pillar. Nothing like this had been recorded in secret records. This might be a treasure being born!' She palliated her soul by circulating the Qi as her eyes turned decisive.

The Crown Prince Carlos's party also noticed the light pillar, but they were fleeing for their lives as countless tree branches were on their tail, and their faces were deadly pale.

'God damn place! That's probably some powerful soul-type treasure that could make even my soul tremble in fear from this distance. I have to go there before others!'

His eyes turned cold as he glanced at his loyal men, 'Don't blame me for sacrificing you for the greater good. Your lives belonged to me, and it's about time you all paid your dues and opened a path of glory for me!'

The Second Prince Darren and his group somehow entered a purple icy plane, and the cold here could make even the soul shiver.

But they all saw the light pillar, and Darren's eyes were filled with greed, "Let's go there before others!"

However, the frozen ground under their feet suddenly trembled at this moment, and cracks began to appear. The next moment, countless gray bone hands shot up from the icy as if someone terrifying was awakening.

Darren and the ground suddenly felt shivers when they saw countless ghastly gray skeletons of all kinds crawling out from the frozen ground as their empty eye sockets were lit in icy purple flame!

It was like they had escaped from the underworld itself to bring about endless despair upon the living!

In another different region was a towering crimson mountain, and there were countless weapons stabbed on it, giving off thick killing intent.

Riana's figure magically appeared, and strangely, her skin seemed to be translucent, and a peculiar silver rune shimmered over her forehead. Her eyes were completely white with no Human emotions, like some otherworldly being.

She looked emotionlessly at the crimson pillar, which seemed to be rising behind the towering mountain like a sun.

"A sign of death. You should stay away!" She muttered as her voice overlapped with another charming voice.

"Yes!" She spoke again in reply.

"As I've calculated, this mountain has a powerful weapon at its summit that can help you break the Soul Contract and the Soul Brand without alerting the owner and change your destiny, my poor child.

"Taming it won't be easy, so I shall lend you a hand. However, I will not be able to contact you for 100 years once I showcase my power. But tracking you won't be easy once you have that treasure since it complements your Fantastic physique.

"I will be at ease, and you might even be able to ascend before the penalty ends. I have high hopes for you as the future hope of the Human Race. Escape this little well, my child. Your destiny is far bigger." Riana spoke majestically with a hint of sadness.

"Thank you, Your Holiness. I will not disappoint you!" Riana spoke again with a resolute voice.

"I know, let's get it over with. This place is extremely strange; I can't even see through it. But whoever built this, it is pure evil!"

She coldly stated before a blinding white light gushed out of her body, and the crimson light seemed to have met with its nemesis as it quickly backed down wherever the white light fell!

Ace found himself standing within a neon space, and in front of him was over a thousand-meter-tall vivid black statue of a strange majestic being. He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman because it had eight pairs of dark feather wings, one pair covering the face, the second covering its upper body, the third covering its lower body, and the fourth pair covering the feet!

The only visible part was six crimson antelope runic horns rising above its inky head like some demonic crown.

Ace felt like he was standing in front of a terrifying existence that he couldn't fathom despite being only a statue. However, at this moment, Ace suddenly felt his blood boil for some strange reason, and a feeling of strange closeness bloomed in his heart.

At this moment, Ace suddenly snapped out of his dazed state because he felt some unknown Qi washed over him as he trembled a little.

An emotionless voice rang from the status, "Congratulations, Trial Taker, you have successfully passed the Vampyre Centurion Trial!

"Your cultivation realm is 8th Mortal Tier, Bone Age: 55 Years & 7 Months, Race: Human, Bloodline: Not Recorded in Supreme Bloodline Universal Records (Unknown)

"Your time of approaching the Centurion Cave first after entering the Army Class Trial Abyss: 64 hours

"You managed to successfully retreat in the face of trial guardians, achieving something the geniuses of the Vampyre Clans of 55-year-olds had never had.

"Final Result: Peerless

"For completing the Trail of Centurion Class, you are rewarded with a choice for Bloodline Fusion with a First Class Vampyre Bloodline or 10 Drop of Vampyre Noble Blood Essence.

"For your impossible achievement: You may choose one of the top three rewards for Centurion Class!

"You will also be granted a Second Trial Entry Token that you may use before the age of 1,000 to retake the Army Trail one more time!"

Ace was astounded when he heard about the assessments and rewards. He was especially excited about the reward of bloodline and deeply anticipated the three top rewards of this army rank trial.

Furthermore, the last reward about the entry token was something Ace greatly appreciated because he knew just how precious the bloodline of the Vampyre Clan was from Eva, and their background was enough to turn anyone's eyes green with greed because any one of their treasures could cause huge wars.

So, he planned on returning here to take all the treasures and settle the score with this deadly trial guardian.

However, at this moment, the system interface appeared in front of him out of nowhere!
