Eternal Thief-Novel

Ace had no idea that someone had experienced the commotion caused by him this deep in the shadow mountain range, and right now this person was hastily making his way toward the Demon King Castle!

Since his entire focus was right now on his true soul because the compass needle had appeared there, after vanishing from outside.

Ace suddenly felt a huge amount of heavenly soul Qi surged in that dark blue chain and started to enter the golden figure, which was completely immobilized by the system.

He finally understood why the system needed one million soul points. It was exactly for this purpose.

As the blurry golden figure absorbed the heavenly soul Qi unwillingly, its oscillation became more violent as Ace heard shrill screams of the treasure spirit which make him deeply frown.

But he said nothing.

Although he didn’t know how these provenance life bonds were formed, the system clearly stated that it was some kind of deadly trial set by the treasure itself.

However, with the system’s help, he had omitted this trial, which might have consequences for the treasure, or who knows it was because of heavenly soul Qi since he knew the consequences of cultivating with heavenly Qi firsthand.

The blurry golden figure suddenly turned dark at this moment, as its screams also become more piercing, and even Ace felt his mind tremble in pain. But it was nothing, as he continued to observe.

Suddenly, the dark blurry figure made a blood-curdling shriek before it turned into dark particles and completely absorbed into the cracked decagram compass needle.

The moment those dark particles were completely absorbed into the compass needle, half of the cracks on the compass needle suddenly mended.

Ace was astonished and ecstatic seeing this, but he heard the system’s voice the next moment.

=====

[Provenance Life Soul Bond trial has been completely circumvented!]

[Please brace yourself host, the system needed a small part of the host’s true soul to complete the final bonding process!]

=====

Ace was startled and felt his heart turn cold. He had suffered grave soul injuries, and he knew just how much tedious they were, and now the system was about to split his soul, this would bring immense suffering.

Just as he thought this, he suddenly clenched his head and let loose a shrilled scream.

Ace’s pain tolerance was quite good, but even he felt all those previous pains he felt from his soul were a child-play in front of this deadly pain.

Inside his true soul, his entire mind space trembled before a crack appeared on the true soul and a chunk of it was forcefully torn apart, leaving an opening on Ace’s true soul, which was far worse than some random soul injury!

That chuck of white mist which was forcibly split by the system mysteriously turn into a white beam directly rushing toward the decagram compass needle center.

Ace had already lost his consciousness at this moment because of the unbearable pain of his soul being torn apart. Even the Demon Emperor would never dare to do such a suicidal thing, despite being the strongest expert of the Demon Race!

However, Ace’s soul wasn’t starting to destroy despite a hole in it and remain completely intact, while his soul core also didn’t react in any way.

The decagram compass needle has completely stabilized after part of Ace’s split soul entered.

Thereupon the dark blue chain suddenly split into eleven chains and one of the chains shot toward the hole in the true soul while the other ten chains pierce right into those golden symbols on the compass needle.

Suddenly, the dark blue chains turn completely dark,

System’s voice rang again in unconscious Ace’s mind.

=====

[Ten Million Thief Points have been released.]

[Final process of Provence Life Bonding and True Soul Healing have been started.]

[Estimate Time: 719:59:59]

=====

The hole in Ace’s true soul suddenly began to slowly mend, while the compass needle also started to undergo a huge change, and Ace lay completely unconscious inside the dark cave.

Twenty days passed,

The blade domain competition was ongoing and every day, many demon youths become targets of someone stronger and the shadow mountain range was stained in blood every day.

The competition ranking was also released at the end of the first training month.

Everyone thought that Demon Price Peter would be on the top since he was taking part in this competition as well, or Rising Sword Earl would give him a tough time.

However, the ranking was completely out of everyone’s expectations.

The current rankings were,

1. Jaxx Wild Wind: 19,500 Kill Points

2. Ramiro Wild Lion: 17,840 Kill Points

3. Alora Wild Yisrael: 14,130 Kill Points

4. Peter Silver Blade: 13,980 Kill Points

5. Eliezer Evil Blade: 9,370 Kill Points

6. Thomas Wild Cheveyo: 8,790 Kill Points

7. Alaric Green Blade: 6,220 Kill Points

8. Miya Evil Blade: 5,000 Kill Points

9. Anton Fire Blade: 4,900 Kill Points

10. Carlee Wild Violent: 4,500 Kill Points

11. Bren Evil Blade: 4,200 Kill Points

12. …

…

…

…

100. Jovanni Wile Sand: 1,100

This ranking gave quite a startle to everyone because Price Peter, who was the favorite for the first place, was still in the fourth place and all top three positions were held by those three newly emerged demon tribes with ‘Wild’ middle name common among them.

Although some of those demons who belong to the marquise or lower level, noble tribes didn’t know what this middle name ‘Wild’ represents, however, those from duke title demon tribes knew this Wide middle name represented the Tribes of Nature!

This thoroughly shocked them because these guys were always looked down upon by them since they live in wildness and mountains, but now they had taken over fifty-three top hundred positions in the top hundred rankings and this made all those demons from the mainland ashamed and enraged.

They even formed hunting parties specifically to hunt these wild tribes, but to their horror, those guys were like ghosts in the wildness, and they can easily annihilate them with their tactics. This made many hot-blooded demons dread these tribes of nature, and some of them even fled the moment they saw anyone from these wild tribes.

As for the Rising Sword Earl, he was completely forgotten because of his disappearance, and only Thomas and Peter always looked for his name.

Ten more days pass,

Inside an imposing throne hall,

Blade Demon King was sitting on his golden throne, and there was a one-meter tall old man who looked like a small cat in the towering demon king’s presence.

This small old man had brown skin and pointy long ears and an extended round nose, but his eyes weren’t like demons, they were like humans, with white eyeballs, dark brown iris, and dark pupils which were an extremely rare sight in the demon race.

This little old man wore a simple white robe as he kneeled right in front of Blade Demon King with an extremely respectful expression on his wizened face.

This small person was from the Earth Troll Race, which was a subjugation race of demons and under the direct control of the Blade Demon Clan, just like the Blood Nāga Race under the Mist Demon Clan.

Only King Title Tribes were qualified to control these servitude races.

The Earth Troll Race was the subspecies of the Iron Dwarf Race, the Seventh-Strongest Race of Golden Sky World, and the owner of the seventh continent, the Iron Heart Continent!

Earth Trolls weren’t good at fighting, but they were extremely powerful when it came to speed or tracking someone and finding earthen minerals deep within the ground.

This gave the Earth Troll Race the qualification to serve under a Demon King Tribe and have high status in the blade domain despite being a mere servant race. Even demon dukes won’t offend them easily.

Blade Demon King utter in a deep voice with a hint of incredulity, “Brenden, it’s not I don’t believe you, but this is simply impossible. First, the chances of a Beast King being born between demon beasts are almost zero, and all those beasts who have such potential are under the Demon Tamer Tribe or killed long ago.

“Lastly, the chances of an evil treasure being born on the shadow mountain range are even less than a beast king birth because you know such environs will not have left for us to benefit from.

“Still, since you experience this phenomenon by yourself, go tell Aura and Craig to investigate it without disrupting the youngsters.”

Blade Demon King was naturally talking about the heavenly punishment clouds triggered by the HFLC a month ago.

But he still won’t believe it completely because if just too unbelievable since he had roamed the entire shadow mountain range himself for training and know that place in the back of his hand.

But Brenden was still one of his most trusted aides who can’t lie to him even if he wanted to, so he sent two blade envoys to investigate it since he had a situation related to Mist Domain to deal with himself!
