Within the depths of the Imperial Palace, Mortal Emperor Antonio was cultivating in his lavish cultivation chamber as dense cloudy Qi was filled with cultivation chamber.
But right at this moment, Antonio's closed eyes sprang open, filled with confusion and disbelief.
He suddenly flipped his hand, and a formation plate appeared. To his horror, the formation was now filled with cracks before shattering with a small blast!
"What!!? Impossible!" Antonio's eyes went bloodshot as he roared loudly before he vanished from the cultivation chapter, leaving behind an afterimage.
A few minutes later, Antonio appeared in the hidden passage below the imperial palace as he hurried towards the locked door guarded by the Demonic Winged Tiger!
The Demonic Winged Tiger opened its vicious eyes at this moment, and when it saw it was Antonio, it growled with unwillingness and hate before it stood up and revealed the door.
Antonio completely ignored the Demonic Winged Tiger's behavior. He was aware that this guy held a deep hatred toward the Imperial Family for capturing it and then making him guard this place.
But at this moment, Antonio was appalled, and his heart was filled with trepidation because of the broken formation plate, which should be impossible.
The moment the Demonic Winged Tiger opened the path, Antonio placed his hand on the door. The next moment, the door shimmered with runes before it began to open.
"Hurry, damn it!" Antonio roared with bloodshot eyes as he found the speed of the door opening extremely slow.
When the door was open enough for him to pass through, he quickly used his movement skills to pass through it, and then, without stopping, he directly entered the pathways leading toward the space treasury.
The closer he got to the end of the tunnel, the more his heart sank because he clearly knew that this passage should appear differently because of the illusion formation.
lightsΝοvel When he finally crossed over, he was appalled because the illusion array had really vanished, and this place was now in its original state. The formation plate that shattered also happened to be the one that controlled the formations in this place.
"Is this the punishment by the Deity?!" He muttered with a pale face and then quickly looked in the direction of the space treasury with a wildly beating heart.
Although the illusion formation plate shattered, his blood was the space treasury's key. It was only transferable through a ritual when a new mortal emperor ascended the throne, so it shouldn't be opened even if its entrance had a surface.
He was hoping that the treasury was safe, but the moment he laid his eyes in that direction, his entire body shook, and it was like all bones had vanished from his body before he fell down on the ground.
"W-what is this!?" He was completely ashen and felt he was in a nightmare.
Because right where the treasury entrance should be, there was now a majestic symbol of a horned owl in the air, and on its wings were words, 'Sky Stealer, and Yes, you've been robbed!'
Antonio's mind turned to a mess as this was completely out of his wildest expectations. Before he could recover from this absolute shock, a dark hooded figure appeared right behind him!
Antonio, despite his intermediate stage Law comprehension realm cultivation, wasn't able to detect this person when he appeared right behind him because of the sheer shock of this impossible event.
This person was naturally Ace, and taking full advantage of Antonio's messy mindset, he used the soul cord without hesitation. By the time Antonio discovered the danger he was in, it was already over, for Ace had activated the soul restrain and soul-binding abilities of the soul cord!
Looking at the Mortal Emperor's listless body in front of him, Ace sighed, "It was too easy. Well, I can't blame the guy since anyone would be in such a state after seeing their entire treasury replaced by a symbol."
Ace smiled thievishly as he looked at the storage ring in his hand that he pick-pocket from Antonio the moment he appeared behind him.
'Still, he reacted too fast; I didn't even get to see the rewards or the change happening to the thief's space…'
Ace then quickly opened the notification panel,
