Chapter 657 The Space Seals Wilting
When Ace gave the final command, the misty Qi around him started to stir before it began to absorb into his body furiously.
Thereupon, the suction force above also suddenly vanished, and all the Qi was now solely absorbed by Ace, and this speed was far more terrifying than the previous suction force.
Eva opened her eyes at this moment, and her expression was pale. She also noticed the Qi suddenly gathering in another focal point, and the old dark focal point had somehow vanished.
She wanted to go towards it to check on Ace when Cyrus’s exclaimed, “Ah… Bro absorbing everything!”
Eva was startled and looked at the little fellow with uncertainty, “It’s Ace?”
Cyrus nodded and replied with twinkling eyes, “Indeed. I can sense clearly there’s no mistake.”
Eva’s eyes shimmered in astonishment as she looked at the Qi getting sucked into Ace like he was a bottomless pit.
She pursed her lips, ‘Even I can’t see through his technique, or maybe I’m too weak. Just what realm is he at?’ She thought as a sense of crisis hit her.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the thick mist was now starting to get transparent. Ace’s figure could finally be seen as he was standing right in the center of all this Qi, completely immersed in absorbing it.
Eva was now even more alarmed as she could feel Ace wasn’t absorbing the Qi. He was absorbing its very essence. Meaning he was literally robbing the Qi from this place, and it was no longer recoverable. .𝚌om
Even the fiend tower didn’t dare to absorb the essence, which was none other than the two grade-7 lodes, and it even used many high-grade herbs to keep those two lodes from getting exhausted.
But the system was drying them clean without caring about anything.
“Look, Big Sister, there are strange lines!” Cyrus’s inquisitive voice draws Eva’s attention at this moment.
She finally looked around. Because of the thick mist, they couldn’t see this place’s actual appearance. However, now that the Qi was constantly getting absorbed by Ace, the surrounding space became visible.
This space was a little over 200 square meters in size, and it was filled with strange dark lines which were extremely eye caching, and they were all intervening with each other.
Not only that they were glowing in a black sheen, but when Eva observed them closely, she also found that the glow was wilting as the Ace was absorbing the Qi.
Furthermore, some lines were completely exempt from that glow, and they started to crack like they had lost their foundation or something.
As the Qi was getting thinner and thinner, more lines lost their sheen, and cracks began to form within them.
Eva felt amiss by those dark lines, so she could only shout in worry, “Ace! Stop absorbing the Qi. Something is not right!”
Ace instantly opened his eyes and frowned. He was fully capable of moving his limbs since it was the system that was doing the actual absorbing. He also noticed those dark lines the moment his vision became clear.
He also started to have a very strange feeling as those lines were witting, “System, what are those?”
“Since the space core has been absorbed, the space seals that keep a secret realm intact are wilting. This process should be long, but since Host was already in process of absorbing the Qi reserves of this realm, the process has naturally intensified.
“System suggest, you store the Shadow Abyssal Devil away before those seals completely spent or her existence will become detectable.”
“You should’ve warned me sooner!” Ace felt indignant when he heard the last part.
Still, he no longer had time since more than half of those space seals were now cracked. He twisted his head and looked at Eva’s worried expression.
He sighed ruefully and said, “Grab my hand!” He moved his hand to reach outside the suction force’s pull.
“Why?” Eva asked as she felt something was wrong. Still, she moved ahead, and with some difficulty, she managed to touch his hand.
“This realm is going to merge. You need to enter my storage space, don’t resist.” Ace regretfully revealed since he didn’t want this to happen so abruptly.
But he can only blame himself for being greedy and not inquiring about it, or he could’ve easily avoided this situation.
Eva’s expression changed, and she wanted to say something when she felt a terrifying suction force that wanted to devour her. But since that force was coming from Ace’s hand, she knew he wanted to pull her within his space.
So, she didn’t resist, and after looking at him with a gaze full of tender love, she vanished with Cyrus!
Ace felt terrible when he still felt her warm touch on his fingers and cussed in vexation, “You deviant!”
The existence he cursed seemed to be aloof as ever.
Vexed, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and then looked within the thief’s space.
Eva had appeared with Cyrus in the dark space, but with Ace’s thought, he had used the most precious luminous light stones and attacked them into the four sides of his thief’s space, making it illuminate in rainbow lights.
Afterward, Ace moved everything back to the corners and tidied up the space in a split second, and what was left were some eggs and a black sheet in the center since they were alive. Oh, and a 20X20 black metal cube.
It was a prison to keep his prisoners from seeing the true thief’s space, and this cube was not just made with ordinary metal either. It was a Low-Grade-5 treasure especially made to suppress cultivators below Peak Soul Realm. He got it in some cultivator’s storage ring.
However, since the Thief’s Space can fully suppress the beings inside as long as he willed it, Ace was using this treasure as an ordinary prison.
But Eva was shocked when she saw felt a natural closeness to this place, and for some reason, she didn’t want to leave at all.
Not only that, she could feel cultivating here could bring her far more benefits, even more than the core realm space outside at its peak state.
She had again no choice but to reevaluate the ‘God’ behind Ace, and she was now fully convinced that even an abyssal bloodline might not be enough to match this existence.
Still, since this all belonged to she was naturally happy for him, and she no longer worried like before.
“It had grown bigger!” Cyrus exclaimed in full of astonishment since he clearly remembered this place not being as big as before. It was his home, after all.
Lastly, the center of the space was also been cleared now, and it was no longer eye-catching when that ring wall was present.
“It’s quite big.” Eva also nodded as she curiously looked around and was astonished when she saw all those millions of storage rings spreading in four corners.
“You stole all this?” She couldn’t help but blurt.
“Not bad, right?” Ace’s voice rang in pride. He was pleased with Eva’s reaction.
Eva nodded, and when she thought about all those adventures Ace’s been through, she didn’t find it startling anymore. He had, after all, emptied the biggest organization of outer demon provinces’ treasuries.
“Who goes there?! What is this place!” A panicked voice suddenly sounded, drawing everyone’s attention toward the large black prison.
“Ahem, I’ll let you handle it?” Ace asked with some embarrassment since he completely forgot about Livia after abducting her.
Eva’s lips curled up, forming a devil-like smile as she nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ve long wanted to have a maid. Making a princess a maid is much more fitting to my status. Don’t you think so, Cyrus?”
Cyrus was confused and asked, “What’s a maid, Big Sis? Can I get one as well?”
Eva was startled momentarily by Cyrus’s innocent question before she giggled happily, “Of course, let’s, Big Sis, teach you about it properly.”
Ace, who was listening to those two, had this strange expression as he looked between the black prison and then Eva and excited Cyrus moving towards it. He suddenly felt pity for Livia as well as he was now wondering if letting Cyrus learn from this Devil was the right thing to do.
‘Well, as long as she’s happy, nothing else matters.’ Ace smiled gently when she saw Eva wasn’t sad or feeling lonely anymore and retracted his attention outside.
Half an hour later, the system’s voice sounded,
