BXBX NOVEL Chapter 609 The Cruel Tower Trial (1)
A bitter expression appeared on his face, \'Well, I should be more careful of the treasures from the upper heaven next time.\'
Thereafter, killing intent suddenly rose in the depth of his pupils, \'Since I can make the other party suffer by destroying this dormant soul segment, then I\'ll make sure to be there to deliver the killing blow!\'
Since he now knew what was happening here and he had at least a fighting chance, Ace decided to find his way toward the upper floors of this tower.
He opened the live fate map but was disappointed when he saw the blank map with only colors. But his eyes contracted when he saw the golden black compass indicator pointing in the south.
\'Even my fortune sense went dormant the moment I entered this place. But this indicator is still working, or it might be a whole new location. Well, I don\'t have anything to lose. Let\'s go south then to test whether my conjecture is true.\' He then closed the map.
Since the fate map can\'t help him with the terrain, it wasn\'t wise to keep it active and waste his soul Qi. He will only use it when he needs direction or detects enemies around him.
He hadn\'t forgotten about the 10,000+ contenders besides him!
Ace\'s eyes suddenly gleamed in a dark light as a strange golden symbol suddenly appeared deep within his pupils.
It was the Initial Stage of Thief\'s Vision at a High level!
In these past months, while wandering in the dark sea, he had already increased his thief\'s vision level by two levels because he knew he would be going to need it.
The Thief\'s Vision had both his True and False Eyes\' flaw monitoring ability in ruins and Soul Shattering Eyes\' illusion and deception resistance. But the most crucial ability of the Thief\'s Vision was it could help Ace peer into storage space treasures!
The Initial Stage early level of the Thief\'s Vision was useful against Low and Intermediate Grade-4 and River Core Realm. The middle level against High Grade-4, low Grade-5, and intermediate stage soul realm.
At a high level, the Thief\'s Vision could see through Intermediate and High Grade-5 and Soul Realm level threats.
As for the Intermediate Stage, the Thief\'s Vision can see through Grade-6 to low-Grade-7 and the soul manifestation realm!
However, the Intermediate Stage Thief\'s Vision was still quite far away from Ace, and he knew he needed over a year or two to enter this stage. He didn\'t have the luxury of time because he needed to get out before the side mission time limit reached its end.
As for why he activated the thief\'s vision in this place where even Moira seemed to be helpless, it was because the Thief\'s Vision at the Initial Stage only took so much as a fragment of his heavenly Qi.
So, he could keep it active all the time if he wanted to, and it was far better than nothing.
Furthermore, he was pretty sure that all those other contestants were from the golden sky world as well since someone from the upper heaven might see through this dormant soul segment.
Because according to the system, this technique was crude, and he was sure only someone with a low cultivation level would be able to see through it.
However, he still doesn\'t understand how those people get here since \'traveling\' through that space tear was not something that just anyone could handle.
Even someone like him who had a temper by heavenly thunder could easily die in the space turbulence.
This made him think about the possibility of another passage, and the only way to found was to find one of those contestants and soul-probe them!
Ace also turned on his disguise since he was only wearing his mask all this time. He didn\'t use any disguise because he knew it would be useless against a Treasure Spirit.
Even Moira was able to see through his disguise when he confronted her.
So, he didn\'t bother, but now that he was inside, he didn\'t want to show his true face to anyone.
The face Ace active was none other than Ronan, the deceased Imperial Demon Prince, and then he wore another mask over it, and only his demonic eyes were revealed!
He didn\'t change his outfit; only his thief symbol wasn\'t showing on his robes.
As promised, he also took out Cyrus since the little guy was more prone to danger than, and the treasure spirit also didn\'t seem to be interested in Cyrus, or it simply wasn\'t able to see through Cyrus\'s true identity.
Cyrus was instantly happy when he appeared over Ace\'s shoulder and looked around curiously, "Bro, are we in that big tower?" He frivolously transmitted.
Ace transmitted back, "Yes, we are. Now you need to be alert, just as I taught you. While on a mission, a thief must be alert constantly!"
"Oh, are we on a mission?" Cyrus\'s eyes shone with delight as if it was some kind of play for the little guy.
Ace smiled wryly, "Yes, kind of."
Cyrus chirps happily before frivolously declaring, "Chirp… I\'ll burn first, then steal from others!"
"Only burn someone who I told you to. Stealing is done without attracting attention to ourselves, or it won\'t be stealing but killing. We only kill if there is no other way to go around. Or what the point in theft if no one is left to admire our work, right?" Ace chuckled at his own twisted reasoning.
But Cyrus took it seriously and agreed to follow Ace\'s lead.
Ace then started heading south in the maroon grassland, which seemed endless.
Furthermore, he noticed that stealth wasn\'t that useful in this place because when he crossed the tall grass, it would part or move, which would easily give away his position.
At this moment, Ace\'s suddenly felt his heart palpitate when he felt something was coming right toward his head at a terrifying speed!
