Chapter 1070 Thief in Temple! (3)

??The moment Ace gave his consent, one billion TP was deducted; he couldn't be stingy in this situation, especially with Moira, who always helped him.

Thereafter, a dark blue ethereal chain shot out from Ace's forehead and directly pierced the colossal Astral Stele. Ace nearly screamed out of trepidation, thinking this would cause a commotion.

But to his surprise, nothing like that happened as the Astral Stele remained the same while the dark blue chain yanked slightly, and Ace could feel something profound injecting directly into his soul space.

At this moment, the Eternal Thief Fate Compass, which was revolving above his soul core, suddenly stabbed a dark blue China into its center, making it tremble.

"What…" Moira's startled voice rang before it quickly became silent as a starry blue light started to cover the Eternal Thief Fate Compass.

"Are you alright?" Ace asked Moira with slight concern.

But no reply came. She went completely dormant, and the starry blue light started to become brighter. Ace could only wait patiently now until the system was done with this integration.

Ace suddenly felt something, 'What is this…'

Thereafter, Ace suddenly felt the depleted heavenly Qi start to recover on its own, and he also felt the profound mysteriousness of space suddenly open up to him at this moment.

'Space is the core of the universe; everything exists within space; without it, there would be nothing but darkness… but doesn't this mean space exists within the darkness…' Ace's mind jolted as he fell into a comprehensive state, and unknowingly, his Darkness started to increase at a tremendous speed along with his space law.

It was all the aftereffects of the Astral Stele being integrated into Moira, and Ace was receiving unknown benefits because of it as he stood in front of the Astral Stele without disturbance.

Ace didn't know how lucky he was to have the Eternal Thief Fate Compass, which was now completely integrated with his heavenly Qi. If it were any other treasure, it would've been destroyed the moment it tried to understand the Astral Stele, which held the secret of heavenly astral space!

Furthermore, Ace himself wouldn't be able to comprehend anything and would've alerted the Heavenly Will if he hadn't had the heavenly Qi and was hidden with the Dismantle Qi the moment he came closer to the Astral Stele.

After an unknown time, Ace's heavenly Qi completely recovered and even became stronger. At this moment, the dark blue china suddenly yanked from the Astral Stele and shot back into Ace's forehead.

Ace was jolted and awakened, and the system prompt rang at this moment.

[The integration of the Astral Stele of Mortal Sky in Enteral Thief Fate Compass's Treasure Spirit (Moira) has been successful!]

Ace was elated and wanted to inquire about Moira's changes, but before he could, a subtle tremor suddenly ran through the entire space. Ace's heart palpitated, and he quickly ran behind the Astral Stele, hiding while holding it, hoping that what he was expecting was just his imagination.

However, a few moments later, the space right where Ace stood suddenly twisted, and a while silhouette appeared, bringing a suffocating pressure with it. But this time, there wasn't this white silhouette. Behind him, an ethereal eye was present, swirling with omnipotent light.

The golden eye suddenly glows brightly, covering the entire upper level, while the white silhouette released a suffocating pressure; the entire temple seemed to tremble under their might.

Ace was ashen at this moment as he felt like something invisible trying to dill through his Dismantle Qi, and that pressure was forcing him to use all he had to stay static. He had a feeling that if he even breathed slightly, he'd be facing something he didn't have the ability to fight against.

After a whole minute, the golden light and the pressure finally retracted, and the silhouette overlapping voice rang with uncertainty, "There is no one here, Exalted Supremacy!"

The golden eye behind the white silhouette flashed in myriad eyes, and the white silhouette trembled before it suddenly prostrated in front of the golden eye.

"Please forgive my insolence, Exalted Supremacy! I shouldn't have destroyed that mortal shell without your permission!" It pleaded in front of the eye.

The eye shimmered again menacingly before it vanished. But the white silhouette remained prostrated and trembled even more fiery as he proclaimed, "I understand! I'll personally search every nook and cranny of the Temple and make sure there is contamination here!"

The next moment, the white silhouette vanished as well, clearly in a hurry for some reason.

'That was freaking close!' Ace was sweating profusely as he nearly got caught and cursed the system, "System, I almost got done in by you! You could've been more discreet!"

"[They were not drawn by the system!]" System emotionlessly reported.

"Then why?" Ace was confused, as he could not think of anything else that had drawn them.

Furthermore, the thing that the white silhouette was calling 'Exalted Supremacy' Ace felt profusely fearful of it from the bottom of his heart, and for some reason, he felt strangely familiar with it, as if he had come in contact with it at some point.

But the system didn't reply to him anymore, which frustrated him to no need. At least this confirmed that they were not here because of the system and probably didn't know that he had snuck in. Antonio was still drawing their attention, but Ace wasn't sure how long this would last.

Furthermore, now that he had heard that conversation, he knew the white silhouette was in search of some contamination.

So, he quickly focused on Moira and hoped those billion TP were well spent, which brought him some hope in this messy situation. He was still clueless about where the heart of the temple was.

He opened the fate map and was disappointed that it was still blank, but his eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw that the dark golden compass pointer that had vanished after he entered the temple was now visible again, making his heart race.

"Moira, how are your gains? You should be able to help me in some now, right?" Ace asked Moira with anticipation.

"Sir Ace, thank you for giving me such an opportunity!" Moira's ecstatic voice rang, "Don't worry. I can read stars and pathways without my compass body, and I can help you navigate in this temple as well. Furthermore, the thing you've been looking for can be accessed through this star map on this Stele!"
