Eternal Thief

Ace's eyes widened when he saw the new notification about Page-09! 

"System, you better explain! You just took my freaking shield, and in return, you gave me a notification?!" Ace furiously questioned as he wasn't having it. 

Page-09 wasn't just some ancient script that would render useless once it revealed its secrets, but it was an excellent shield against heavenly punishment that had never disappointed him. Moreover, he just discovered a new way of using it, yet now, the system just took it. 

Furthermore, Ace was under the impression that the system didn't know what page-09 was or wasn't interested in it. But he was dead wrong. Not only does the system know what it was, but it even knows its origin. 

But it was too much of a loss to hand it over without even receiving an explanation. 

"[The contents of Page-09 have been fully revealed, and if the host had waited any longer, you would've drawn the attention of the [Natural Order]. In fact, with system help, the host has just unlocked a beneficial function, and you can now also track down the entirety of the B.E.L.L.]" 

Ace wanted to debate further, but he didn't have time because the heavenly Qi was rushing into his martial space and soul space, and both of them were expanding like never before. 

A feeling of something breaking free from a shackle washed over him as his aura started to climb, making the air around him tremble. 

The Dark Soul didn't jump out of his martial space at this moment, but it was completely encased in a dark lightning cocoon, and at this moment, a dark blue chain shot out from the dark void and entered that cocoon. 

Dark blue symbols of the heaven stealer technique begin to emerge on the cocoon, and Ace senses a profound understanding dawn on him. 

The Law Comprehension Realm was the realm of comprehension where a cultivator's goal was to comprehend their innate law to 100% proficiency, and only those in the advanced realm of element law proficiency could step into this realm. 

A Law Comprehension Realm Cultivator can control laws around him with just a thought, and the Qi requirement for it was reduced by half. Not to mention, the law intent becomes more potent in the advanced realm, and someone's unique law intent would even manifest phantoms, like Ace's intent of Gluttony. 

Legend has it that once someone has reached 100% law comprehension, they will ascend to the skies and enter the realm of true immortals. There were even urban legends about becoming a god. But no one could confirm it because that step was too tricky. 

There were Early, Middle, and Late stages of the Law Comprehension Realm. 

At this moment, the dark blue chain yanked, and the cocoon around Ace's dark soul broke open, revealing the dark soul, which appeared the same as before, but surprisingly, two dark blue flames had appeared under the hood like flame eyes!

The moment the dark soul appeared, the dark sea churned as a suffocating aura broke out, and the rampaging Qi began to subdue down. 

Ace was in a state of greatness as he felt like he was on top of the world and he could crush anyone at will. 

The true soul has also undergone a new and final change. The soul wind core was ten times bigger than before. It was now half white and half black. Smearing the true soul half white and half black. 

One side is filled with black soul Qi, while the other is white soul Qi. It was an impossible thing to happen, yet Ace's true soul has achieved it, and now, just by gazing into his eyes, others would feel their soul being suppressed! 

His soul sense also increased up to 500 miles, which were now extremely large, and he would monitor regions now!

The system's static voice sounded,

[Warning: Host has reached the eighth and final realm of both body and soul! The next breakthrough will call upon the Ascension! Thereby, the breakthrough process has been sealed until the host completes the heaven's stealer mission!] 

=====

Looking at the warning, Ace frowned, but he could understand what the system was implying. If he made the next breakthrough, he'd probably leave this heaven and ascend just like the sea king Pen told him. 

Still, even if this was possible, he wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon because there were still many things and loose ends here to take care of. On the other hand, he was in the eighth realm of the mortal sky, the pinnacle of this world. 

Who could stop him now?

Still, he was sulking over page-09 matters and opened this new panel to see if it was worth it or if the system was tricking him again!
