Chapter 845 A Dangerous Game (1)

Ace’s words made Cyrus’s eyes shimmer with ecstasy, and the next moment, the little guy sprang into action.

“Chirp (Burn)!”

Unexpectedly, this time Cyrus didn’t even use his spirit fire like he usually does, and with just his one command, the purple sword of worms suddenly ignited in blue flames!

Ace was astounded as he watched thousands of worms turning into ashes without resisting and glanced at the little guy who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.

‘He’s conjuring fire from the atmosphere without any Qi, don’t tell me he has already learned [Fire] law at the same level as a Peak Law Awareness Realm Cultivator?’ Ace thought with great alarm before elation replaced it, ‘He’s really growing at a terrifying rate, and I’m the one holding him back.’

The icy surroundings turned fiery within a few moments as not even a single worm was able to come close to Ace.

“Y-you vile creature!” The voice of Moon Realm Guardian boomed with sheer anger, but there was a hint of panic present in its voice.

“What? Done already?” Ace teasingly grinned.

“Don’t even think about escaping from here alive!” The voice shrilled.

The next moment, something gigantic shot up from right below where Ace was levitating. It was another worm, but it was 15-meter-long and on its purple body were silvery patterns, and it had multiple mouths within its gigantic mouths.

Its aura rivaled a peak Qi Soul Manifestation Realm as its purple mist suddenly appeared beside Ace, clearly wanting to imprison him while the worm could gobble him whole.

However, Ace didn’t even have to use anything as Cyrus had already moved first, and the purple mist suddenly scattered before the entire worm ignited in blue flames.

But it wasn’t the end, as more than a hundred such worms appeared, and more were coming.

“Do you think I would just stand here and be their target? You’re even more na?ve than that feather.” Ace sneered coldly before the sword under his feet moved at an alarming speed.

Even though Cyrus could easily handle those worms, it wasn’t worth it since the Moon Realm Guardian was probably aiming to exhaust them. He had no idea just how many of these worms were there, and he didn’t want to stay to find out.

He had already figured it out; the Moon Realm Guardian was clearly known about Cyrus and probably afraid of him. Furthermore, since it hadn’t kicked him out of the moon’s secret realm yet, it meant it was either it was confident of killing him or it simply couldn’t.

Ace was now waiting for the system scan to be complete before he would head directly toward the first layer’s trial location. From there, if this guy wasn’t able to stop him from taking the trial, then this mean it was completely helpless.

But if it could stop him, then he had to use more violent methods since failure or turning back wasn’t an option.

“Sacrilegious mortal, face your demise!” The fuming voice roared as more and more hoards of worms, tiny and large, started to chase after Ace.

Ace completely ignored them as his speed was superior to theirs and let Cyrus deal with the ones in front, while he focused on his martial Qi recovery first while using the soul Qi for flight.

The worms seemed endless as they kept appearing, and Ace’s expression was grim. But contrary to him, Cyrus seemed to be having a time of life as it was his first time burning to his heart’s content.

Somehow, Ace managed to pass the thirty minutes while being chased by hundreds of thousands of worms, and the system voice finally rang.

=====

[Treasure Blueprint Scanning of the Heaven’s Stealer Mission Site has been completed!]

[Because of the uniqueness of this Treasure Blueprint, it has been etched into the Live Fate Map in Blue and White Format!]

[Live Fate Map (Treasure Blueprint Mode): Now, the Live Fate Map will show the entire terrains, even the hidden parts of the Moon Secret Realm, and the host can scan through or scout the entire map now. All the grades and acute information of the traps, hidden formation arrays, treasures available, and the final target will appear on the map with color names. The colors’ indication will be the same as the fate map’s innate colors.]

[Safe Routes Selection: Host can now select treasure locations by putting up Thief Mark on the location through the fate map. A purple passage will appear on the map, which will provide the shortest and safest route that leads toward the treasure location.]

[NOTE: Host can now use the Live Fate Map without spending any Qi as long as it is in the Treasure Blueprint Mode!]

[Warning: Treasure Blueprint will disappear after the mission completion or when the time of the mission ends.]

[Important Reminder: System has detected [Nature’s Platinum Elemental Orb] in the Moon Secret Realm and marked its location in Glittering Golden Name!] .𝚌o𝚖

[Nature’s Platinum Elemental Orb: The Third Mutation Form of the Metal Element Orb!]

=====

Ace was somewhat expecting the last notification since he had already seen the orb guardian outside. So, he quickly opened the Live Fate Map again, which was now showing all the terrains with full details, and its color had changed to blue, just like last time.

The Moon Secret Realm was completely identical to the Sun Secret Realm, built with nine layers, and each layer has its own treasure zone, death zones, and Layer Guardian Zones!

‘Now, let’s see what you do!’ Ace scoffed as he instantly searched for the first-layer guardian zone.

He was surprised for a moment when he discovered that he was heading towards the only Death Zone on the first layer!

‘So, that bastard was leading me there by manipulating the worm’s ambushes. He might be even more astute than that feather and only pretending to be angry to let think he’s an idiot and making me drop my guard…’ Ace thought with vigilance.

Ace never thought that the Moon Realm Guardian an idiot from the start, and that’s why he wanted to waste enough time until he got his hands on the Treasure Blueprint.

But now that he discovered that even in that short amount of time, he was being manipulated towards a dangerous location, he knew this would be going to an extremely dangerous venture.

Nevertheless, since he had gotten the map now, despite being under surveillance, the Moon Realm Guardian no longer manipulated him into a death zone again.

The next moment, Ace discovered the layer guardian zone was in completely opposite direction. Which made him curse the sly bastard since behind him were terrifying numbers of worms.

‘It can’t be helped; I guess…’ Ace sighed before a talisman coin appeared in his hand, and then he instantly made a maneuver.

“Hmph, finally succumbing to your pitiful fate!”

“Annoying!”

Ace perplexedly muttered before he crushed the coin and vanished from his spot!
