Chapter 1038 Ascending & Descending
Eva stepped out of the vortex in Evie's disguise. However, she was surprised when she realized she was sent out of the secret realm, just like Ace.
"Took you long enough." Ace's figure suddenly appeared before her as he gently greeted her.
Eva's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, she pounced in his arms and tightly hugged him, "I'm glad you're fine."
Ace felt warmth from her tender words, but at this moment, Ace suddenly felt something was different about Eva, and he knew it had something to do with the delay. Furthermore, he could feel her aura started to change; it was as if she was suddenly becoming one with the laws.
However, before he could ask her, the system voice suddenly rang in his head.
"[The Shadow Abyssal Devil has awakened 38% of Void Abyssal Devil Bloodline, and she's on the verge of breaking through from the elemental state. Her presence is becoming overbearing; she doesn't need the ascension altar to break the shackles of Heaven. Please send her into Thief's Space before she draws the attention of Natural Order; thereby, Heavenly Punishment will occur in five seconds, and once she passes it, she will descend into the Abyss!]"
Ace was shocked when he heard the System's words, and he didn't have time to question it since he knew the System had never been wrong before, and Eva's current bloodline was also because of it.
Eva also sensed that her aura was quickly changing. She didn't notice it because she was isolated from the heavenly laws within the secret realm.
However, because of the change in her bloodline, she had already reached the very pinnacle of the elemental state, and the moment she came in contact with the heavenly laws, the breakthrough finally began.
After all, even her Shadow Abyssal Devil Bloodline was something that shouldn't exist in Mortal Sky Heaven, but because of the System, she was able to be reborn into this bloodline.
But what Ace and Eva didn't know was that a Shadow Abyssal Devil was born a Law State, yet because Eva was half Shadow Devil before, she reached the origin of her bloodline artificially, so she had to start cultivation from the start.
Nonetheless, her cultivation was without bottlenecks, so she quickly reached the eighth realm. But now that she has tapped into the Void Abyssal Devil Bloodline, which the System has left a trace in her too slowly to help her awake after she joined the thief house, a true metamorphosis of an Abyssal Being has begun!
She was now almost half Void Abyssal Devil, and this bloodline was even higher than the Shadow Abyssal Devil Bloodline. Unknowingly, she has become so powerful that it was now impossible for the heavenly law to stop her cultivation!
Now, her presence can easily break the Heavenly Firmament, also known as Heavenly Space Boundary, which will directly draw the Heavenly Punishment. She was now qualified to become a Heaven Defier!
The System replied, "[Since the host already knew about the Abyss, then you can also learn about the ascension process of the abyssal creatures.]
"[Just like the beings of Heaven will ascend once they reached the limit of Heaven by using either ascension altar or breaking the Heavenly Firmament. The abyssal beings will also use either the Abyss Descending Altar or break the Abyssal Space Boundary to descend into the lower Abyss.]
"[The Abyss becomes more powerful the lower you go, opposite to the Heaven. But if a being from Heaven somehow ends up in the Abyss, they can return by breaking the limit of that Abyss's power and ascending. The same goes for abyssal beings, but they will descend.]
"[The same goes for Shadow Abyssal Devil. Because she managed to awaken the Void Abyssal Bloodline, she can no longer control her cultivation, nor will the natural order allow a being like her to roam free in Heaven.]
"[Although she can breakthrough into law state in the thief's space as long as you have thief points and even lives there, the moment she comes out, she will trigger heavenly punishment for it is mandatory if she wants to be accepted by the laws of the Heaven or Abyss!]
"[But the only difference is, if she undergoes heavenly punishment in Mortal Sky Heaven, she will be forced back into the Abyss! However, if she repeats the same process in a more powerful heaven, she will trigger the Heavenly Tribulation instead and won't be forced out.]
"[However, her heavenly tribulations will be ten times stronger than the other being from Heaven, almost reaching the level of heavenly punishment! Because in the eyes of Heavenly Laws, she's from the Abyss now.]
"[The same could be said for someone from the Heaven who undergo Abyssal Tribulation in the abyss!]"
Ace expression went somewhat ugly after he heard it, if he wasn't here or Eva has triggered this phenomenon in the secret realm, he would've never known that where she went!
"So, as long as she remained in the thief's space until I'm in the mortal sky heaven, she'll be fine, right? You can use the thief points as long as you ensure she won't descend!" Ace gravely ordered.
"[Even with the System's help, without being a member of the Thief House, the thief's space can only keep her for 20 months. If you don't upgrade the System, the System will force teleport her far away from the host unless you want to destroy the Thief's Space and get caught by the Natural Order, which goes against the system rules!]"
"T-this! Are you serious?! How about if I double the amount of TP?" Ace quickly asked with a somewhat pale expression.
"[This is already the limit or if she didn't have absolute connection with you, the system would've never allowed this!]"
Ace's eyes turned deadly cold, 'No, I have to complete this mission and ascend before Eva is forced into the abyss!'
