Eternal Thief

Chapter 1137  Crimson Platinum

From the mouth of the volcano, a massive silhouette suddenly emerged, blasting molten lava with its colossal body.

Ace, not too far away, was coldly witnessing this scene while hiding within the fabric of space using the thief's shelter. The colossal beast had a body like a bull, and its hide was filled with dark crimson scales. It had two bull heads with crimson horns lit in bright red flames, giving off an intense fiery aura. Just its presence raised the temperature to an extremely high degree!

It was the Inferno Two-Headed Bull, a law-state magic beast at the 9-Star Ascension Warrior Realm. For the Beast Calamity Mountain Range, he was known as the Mountain Tyrant. He was the ruler of this mountain range that not even the five grand sects dared to offend despite it only being a peak Ascension Warrior.

Ace was barely able to control his killing intent when he saw the two-headed magic beast, as he knew he was the one behind Cyrus's current state. However, he knew it would be a lost battle since he could clearly sense the other party's superior cultivation, and he had yet to fully master the Spirit Qi. So, he could only hold back the itch to take out Avos and behead that thing.

However, Ace suddenly noticed something, and his eyes flashed with astonishment and disbelief.

At this moment, a blurry hominoid silhouette magically appeared right beside the Mountain Tyrant, appearing like an ant beside the colossal Mountain Tyrant. Yet this blurry figure dares to stand beside him despite the ghastly pressure released from the beast.

This could only mean that this person was either more powerful than the Mountain Tyrant or at least in an equal realm. Since Mountain Tyrant let this person stand so close to it, this means their relationship was anything but ordinary.

"Where the hell did those two go?!" Mountain Tyrant furiously roared in his heavy voice, clearly incredulous.

"What? They escaped your detection?!" An aged voice questioned in disbelief and agitation; it was clearly the blurry figure.

'They're in cohort?' Ace was astounded, and his heart was very cold since this situation was completely out of his expectations.

Mountain Tyrant released an invisible aura that covered the entire volcano, even far away places; its two bull heads darkened even more.

"Did they use some forbidden spell to escape? We can't detect them at all!" This time, the second head spoke in a feminine voice.

"No! Even if they were able to escape some forbidden space-type spells, they shouldn't be able to remove our 'Law Mark' so quickly!" The male voice head retorted with a hint of trepidation.

The aged voice spoke at this moment in a grim tone, "No, it's not impossible to remove your law mark as long as they had helped an existence far stronger than you."

The Mountain Tyrant went silent at this moment as its fury seemed to have lessened by half after hearing the aged voice conjecture.

"So, you're giving up on that Bird's innate fire spirit? Although I don't know what race it belonged to, its innate fire spirit should be ranked in the Mystic Flame Chart!" The Mountain Tyrant hesitantly asked, clearly unwilling.

The aged voice replied in a cold tone, "I'm not the one to give up without knowing who I'm up against. But the thing is, we don't even know where that beast had vanished and who helped him remove your Law Mark. If only you were able to keep them here until I arrive! That bird's bloodline should be even more terrifying than you're making it.

"After all, this place is surrounded by a powerful law illusionary maze formation, and only those who can see through illusion or someone at the Ascension Master Realm can enter here. But that bird was able to come here despite only being a 1-Star Ascension Solider, not to mention he was even able to escape from you!

"But there's no point in thinking over this anymore since the chance is already gone. Nonetheless, since this place had been exposed and if that bird has a powerful backer, we should move the Crimson Platinum Volcano somewhere else. "There is still some time before the Crimson Platinum manifest; I can't take any risk! After all, if you weren't protecting this place, it would've been a disaster, and all that centuries worth of work would've been for nothing!" He stated in an irrefutable tone.

'Crimson Platinum? Why did this sound so familiar?' Ace was bewildered when he heard the blurry figure mention this familiar name. After thinking about it more deeply, his eyes widened as he finally remembered.

'Didn't I need 1 kg of Crimson Platinum to upgrade the Eternal Thief Fate Compass!'

Ace felt his heart raced slightly when he finally remembered the materials in the Eternal Thief Fate Compass upgrade scheme, and Crimson Platinum was one of those materials.

He didn't expect to stumble upon it in all of the places, and it seemed that Cyrus had unknowingly helped him. Nonetheless, he wasn't glad at all.

Mountain Tyrant two heads shone with unwillingness since it knew what it meant to be moving the Crimson Platinum Mountain from the Beast Calamity Mountain Range, this means its days as Mountain Tyrant were as good as over. This made it grit its teeth just thinking about how those mere ascension soldiers pulled such a humiliating stunt on it.

"But where are you going to move it? Do you have another unclaimed Earth Spirit Vein? Because without it, I can't help you cultivate the Crimson Platinum, and the time needed for its manifestation would increase exponentially!" Mountain Tyrant stated.

"Heh, when I discovered this place and you, I was a mere outer court elder, so I had to tread carefully not to reveal the presence of Crimson Platinum. However, now that I'm an Inner Sect Elder, I can protect my stuff, and no one would dare enter my territory.

"Furthermore, didn't I promise you that once I have enough power, I'll help you break your bloodline shackle? It's time to show that the decision you made that day wasn't wrong.

"Let me take you to the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect!" The aged voice proudly declared, and the reluctant Mountain Tyrant's eyes shimmered with ecstasy as it completely forgot about its grievance.

'A Guardian Sect? He's from a second-grade sect!'

Ace, who was paying close attention to their conversation, was shocked when the blurry figure revealed this name.

At this moment, the blurry figure suddenly took out a gray formation plate and placed it on the mountain's surface.

The next moment, he started muttering a chant at ridiculous speed, and runes started to spread on the mountain surface.

Furthermore, the volcano's ordinary appearance suddenly changed, and its stony surface suddenly turned into a crimson jade-like surface.

Ace suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed greatly, 'Space law! Is he planning to teleport this entire mountain?? Is this what he means by changing the location? Would I also teleport with this mountain, or would it not work with Thief Shelter?

'Whatever the case is, should I try to teleport away with this mountain and see where this guy is going? After all, Crimson Platinum seemed quite rare, and most importantly, I still have to pay them for what they did to Cyrus!'

Ace suddenly fell into a dilemma, and after thinking about the pros and cons, he finally made this decision despite the risk involved. After all, this was also an opportunity to distance himself from the Heaven's Advocate!
