Chapter 915 Heaven Imposing Sky Lock

Ace's eyes shone with surprise, reading the panel before him, "Do you mean I can get two advanced realm laws with 99.99% just like that?" 

"[Yes, as long as those laws belonged to Darkness and are available in palpable state!]"

Ace was stupefied as he didn't see this coming at all. He didn't even have one law at 100% proficiency, yet now he can get two of them out of the blue by spending TP! 

Furthermore, 99.99% element law proficiency means the ability to fight against the Law Comprehension Realm!

The way he looked at the sinister statue wholly changed as an ecstatic smile emerged on his face. 

Eva noticed the swig in Ace's mood after he touched the statue and questioned with uncertainty, "What?"

Ace grinned as he looked at her and replied, "It turned out this thing is quite useful to me as I can absorb two laws with 99.99% proficiency from it." 

Eva's eyes widened with shock, "Impossible!"

Ace chuckled and smugly replied, "Not for me, though." 

"Is it the treasure?" She asked with narrowed eyes. She knew just how ridiculous the entire concept of absorbing laws from a faith idol, not to mention two of them with 99.99% proficiencies. 

Now, she was starting to feel like the existence behind Ace was far more unfathomable than she initially thought, or the treasure in his possession was just that ridiculous. 

Ace didn't deny it and nodded in affirmative, "Indeed. I told you, don't worry about it. Now, stop making that face, or I won't help myself to pinch you." 

Eva calmed her heart as she didn't have words to describe her shock, but she quickly regained her regal demeanor. Since it was Ace, she could only feel happy, and she wasn't the least bit envious. 

"Just be careful." She warned with a hint of worry because there might be some side effects to performing such an act. After all, this action could be seen as an impious act against a God. 

Ace nodded with a gentle smile, "Of course. Now, let's see the other things." 

He then picked up the gray jade scroll and tried to probe the information, and to his surprise, it wasn't any technique, skill, or art. 

"The Blueprint of Heaven Imposing Sky Lock!" 

Ace's heart raced when he read that name, and his expression turned grave as he quickly read it.

The more he read, the more shocked and pale he became as the information was too unbelievable, not to mention horrendous!

"What's inside?" Eva asked with uncertainty, seeing Ace's expression change so drastically. 

Towards the end, Ace was seething in anger as he gave Eva the jade scroll and coldly said, "Look for yourself. Those three bastards are truly egregious!" 

Eva took the jade scroll from Ace with scrutiny and read it. Her expression also changed as he gritted her teeth, "How dare they!?" 

The Heaven Imposing Sky Lock was actually a supermassive formation that not only stole the vitality of countless living creatures under its influence but also stopped them from reaching the law comprehension realm!

To create this Heaven Imposing Sky Lock, one needed to build three Sky Towers in the three densest spots with Qi, and the countless materials needed to create those sky towers were all grade-7. But to make it all work, three sky keys were required. 

As for how to make those sky keys, this method wasn't described at all. This means the Heaven Imposing Sky Lock was incomplete, and Edward only had a part of it to build the three sky towers! 

lightsnοvεl So, Ace quickly skimmed through Albert and Margret's storage rings, and to his surprise and dismay, he found nothing related to this Heaven Imposing Sky Lock at all. 

"Now, we know the secret behind their long-lasting youth and life. They were feeding on people's lives without even them noticing it. The Devil Tower, Demon Temple, and the Blood Shrine those three are the sky towers. As for the sky keys, they are the three scepters those three cherish even more than their lives." Ace coldly stated as it all started to come together. 

Eva nodded heavily, "This is also just the part of Heaven Imposing Sky Lock. But the method to make sky keys and how they worked is missing, and I think there might be other parts. 

"This could only mean those three were doing someone's bidding to build the three towers. But I don't understand the intention of giving them the sky keys if they were mere pawns. If someone was trying to achieve the goal to live forever and rule over everyone by making them helpless to cultivate to the peak, why give it all away?" She frowned in confusion. 

Ace also reached the same conclusion and loured, "It could be either that person didn't need it, and this was all for another purpose, or the person behind all this just wanted to make sure this place remained weak for some reason. 

"Not to mention this secret realm and how those three mountains are built and Qi pools, the altars. Those three weren't capable of such a thing. The most important thing about all of this is that the three of them remained Quasi-Law comprehension cultivators all this time while searching for the technique to break into the final realm all these years. 

"So, we assumed that whoever put them up to this task also didn't want the three of them to reach the eighth realm. But I think whoever did this didn't count for the existence of the Sun and Moon Sword Union." 

The more Ace thought about it, the more complex it all became because the three scepters were not just keys to rob others of their vitality, but they were keys to a world lock. 

If someone didn't want others to lay their hands on that world lock, why hand over all the pieces to reach towards it to mere pawns? 

This was the biggest question that could shine the light on the whole truth. 

Eva, at this moment, suddenly uttered something shocking, "Could it be those three killed the mastermind once they used him for their purpose?" 

Ace's eyes shone splendidly, "Hmm, I might be the case since we can ignore the possibility that the mastermind was like them and he might've stumbled upon the Heaven Imposing Sky Lock." 

Eva nodded before suddenly looking at the statue of Baphomet with a sharp sheen, "Or… that person might've gotten this method from a God!"
