Eternal Thief
Chapter 228 - 2nd Heavenly Punishment! (1)

"Tell me the conditions of forming the martial Qi sea?"

==== 

[Conditions for creating Martial Qi Sea]

{Elemental Orb}

{Elemental Orb's Altar]

{Elemental Orb's Essence}

{Thief Points: 1,000,000]

====

Ace's eyes narrowed when he saw the requirements that the system just disclosed. 

"I can understand about Elemental Orb, but what are the other two things? Where can I replace them?" questioned Ace sternly. He didn't grumble about the 1M TP though, since he knew the system did nothing for free, it was pointless to burn his blood over it!

"[Everything is in front of the host. The earth orb is currently hovering over an Earthen Elemental Altar and the boiling emerald liquid is the Earth Orb's Essence which was created after thousands of years.]

"[The Orb's Essence was also the reason for the emerald mist, and it also created all those elemental golems. This orb's essence will be the catalyst in the upcoming process of creating the Martial Qi Sea.]

"[Host just needed to stand or sat on the earthen altar after stealing the Earth Orb because the protective barrier will also crumble the moment earth orb were removed. After that, the system just needs the confirmation of the host to start the sea forming process.]

"[But beware the moment the host start the sea forming process, the heavenly punishment will descend after three seconds.]"

"So that what that platform is an Earthen Elemental Altar and this emerald liquid…." Ace looked at the emerald liquid with apprehension. This seemingly harmless liquid was the creator of all those golems and emerald mist, this was just too startling. 

Ace quickly calm himself as his eyes shifted to the elemental orb again. The system just confirmed he could steal the earth orb. He just had to be fast enough to reach that altar and trigger the heavenly punishment before the earth orb guardian awakening. 

'Let's get this over with!' Ace take a deep breath and a serious expression surface on his calm face. 

An orange soul thread, as fine as a hair, exuded from his finger. The soul thread meticulously moved toward the altar and just when it was a centimeter away from the crystal barrier it halted. 

Ace braced himself before his eyes turned sharp as a hawk and controlled the soul thread with utmost speed!

The soul thread instantly pass through the crystal barrier with no hindrance and without stopping, it instantly touched the earth orb!

The earth orb had a consciousness after existing for thousands of years, and it was far more intelligent than the light orb, which had intelligence compared with a seven-year-old. 

However, even the consciousness of the earth orb never had imagined that someone would be skilled enough to arrive so near to it, without even it noticing it. If it even sensed the slightest change in the emerald steam emitting from the emerald liquid, it would have awoken its guardian the very moment. 

But alas, it was already too late because before it could even fathom what happened something abruptly teleported it to an unknown dark place. It can't resonate with nature anymore in this unknown dark place nor can it even reach its guardian, and the element essence was also nowhere to be found. 

It was completely flummoxed as well as dreadful while keep trying to use everything it had, so it could contact its guardian for help or at least make sense of this pitch black. 

Alas, everything appeared useless, and how could it not be? This place was none other than the system's thief's space!

At the bottom of the volcano, 

Ace didn't have time to celebrate because the moment the earth orb was extracted from the earthen altar, the crystal barrier also crumbled, and on the calm surface of the emerald lake, ripple started to form, and the whole volcano started to shock. 

He knew the orb guardian was going to awake at any moment, and he didn't waste any more time and jumped toward the earthen altar, which was also quivering. 

Ace quickly shouted in urgency and hysteria, "Start the process, hurry!" 

====

[System has detected Earth Elemental Orb in host thief's space]

[All requirements have been fulfilled]

[1,000,000 TP has been deducted successfully]

---

[Thief Point(s): 2,288,400]

---

[Process of absorbing the Nature's Earth Elemental Orb has begun!]

[The Second {Heavenly Thunder Punishment of Body and Soul} will start in three-second!]

[Warning: The Heavenly Thunder Punishment will descend during the process of absorption. If the host faints or loses his consciousness during the process, it will immediately stop.] 

[As a result of the backlash, the host will die!]

===

'It finally starting!' Ace didn't have time to mull over what he just heard because the earthquake was becoming more and more violent with each passing second. 

He could feel something big was coming from the bottom of this volcano and whatever it was, it was extremely outrage!

This wasn't the end, he could hear large movement from outside even after standing deep in this volcano, the golem army was also coming at full speed!

However, suddenly, Ace felt another pressure and not just any random pressure, a supreme pressure he once felt before. 

Ace's eyes turned cold as he deeply looked toward the volcano's mouth as if he could pierce through everything and gaze directly at the sky. 

'Heh, so it's finally going to start, and I'm ready this time for you. Let's see who wins this time around!' Ace smirked at the sky with scornful eyes.

Ace knew his status as the 'Eternal Enemy of Heaven' because of the path of Heaven's Stealer, and Heaven will stop at nothing until it kills him. So, he has long since decided to never show any weakness and fight for his life with everything he had!

At this moment, the system's icy voice rang in his mind,

====

[The Second Heavenly Thunder Punishment of Body and Soul; 'Silver Despair Thunder' will descend in two seconds!]

[System recommends replaceing an isolated place, or the Heavenly Thunder Punishment will annihilate all the living in a one-kilometer radius around the host!]
