1120 Beast Calamity Mountain Range (1)
Ace used the twilight traverse while the white side of the light barrier was quickly approaching him despite getting outside the city gates. On the other side of the city gates was a huge plaza surrounded by a vast forest, and there were only two spacious inclined roads right ahead. However, Ace decided to take the closest route outside the plaza, which leads into the forest.
Still, Ace felt extrely slow. He felt he wouldn't make it because the white light enveloped him, and the closer that light beca, the more Ace could sense the grave danger it posed to him.
Having no choice, Ace took out a precious teleportation grade-8 talisman that he got from the Skylar Clan's treasury. He instantly activated it just when the white light was about to touch the boundary of the plaza, completely sealing off his escape routes.
The next mont, Ace's figure vanished, and at this mont, the entire Sect Alliance City was covered in a half-white and white golden light barrier!
A thousand miles southeast of the Beast Calamity Mountain Range, right above a plunge pool under a huge waterfall, Ace appeared and fell directly into the pool.
"Saved!" Ace didn't care about falling into the water as he was feeling huge relief as if he had escaped a huge calamity which he did, and started to swim towards the edge of the pool.
Once he was outside the water, Ace sat down on the bank to calm his widely beating heart.
'Damn it. This is getting more and more dangerous. It's like, after the ascension, my bad luck has reached another level.' Ace cussed as he still felt surreal about almost falling into a deathly situation within a few hours of awakening into the Mortal Ascension Heaven.
However, he was more curious about Heaven's Advocate, and his expression beca even graver. He had never felt that kind of dread from anyone before except Heavenly Punishnt.
'If that Heaven's Advocate is soone sent by Heaven to hunt down, how did he know I was in that place? Could it be because of the altar? After all, he seed to have appeared in the mines, and then he alerted the authorities.
'However, he didn't seem to have any goodwill towards them. Instead, he directly confronted them like a mad dog, which bought enough ti to get out of there. Yet, the strange power that he commands with the aura of heavenly punishnt and Heavenly Qi seed extrely dangerous to ; it was like I had t my bane.
'Furthermore, he's far more powerful than right now, even overpowered those guys who should be there to subdue him; he's powerful enough to make the entire city fall on their knees, and no one could resist him.
'It seed that Heaven is no longer passive like in the Mortal Sky Heaven and sent this Heaven's Advocate after . Or was it just a coincidence? But the odds of that are almost null.
'But he still didn't know that I was there, right? Or he wouldn't be playing around and judging everyone. Well, I can at least confirm that this guy seed to have a deep sense of justice, and maybe I can use it against him…
'However, right now, I need to widen the distance between us while he still doesn't know I'm close by. But I need to wait before the darn system is done upgrading, and I can use my full power, or I might find myself in another dangerous situation since this place is filled with powerful beasts…' After a long ti, Ace felt like he might get caught if he wasn't careful, but for so reason, he felt a hint of strange excitent rising in his heart.
After gathering his thoughts, he looked around and saw the waterfall, which was connected by a huge river going downward while the other side was surrounded by forest.
If he wasn't worried about the Heaven's Advocate on his tail, he might've decided to open a cave and rest here until the system was done upgrading. But sadly, he didn't feel like waiting in this place.
So, Ace decided to take the path that he found fastest, which was none other than the flowing river. He took out a ship and let it sail in the direction of the flowing river. He also lets Cyrus out just to be safe since he can detect danger far quicker and even keep them safe from danger.
"Where are we going?" Cyrus, completely forgotten about his earlier discomfort, asked with anticipation as he sat on Ace's shoulder. They were on the rooftop of the ship's cabin, looking closely at their surroundings.
Ace replied uncertainly, "I don't know. For now, let's see where this river leads."
"What? No more food hunting?" Cyrus sounded dejected.
"Heh, now isn't the ti to think about food. Leaving this place is more important. We can go food hunting afterward." Ace smiled wryly, but he was glad Cyrus was here to accompany him.
Just like that, ti passed, and the dium-sized ship continued to move downward. Ace's fear of getting intercepted by the Heaven's Advocate never beca true, which was nothing but good news for him.
Furthermore, they entered so water-type magic beasts that attacked them, but they were all dealt by Cyrus, turned into ashes, and those with so sort of intelligence that could sense Cyrus's aura didn't dare to approach them. When night arrived, which was also Ace's first night in Mortal Ascension Heaven, he saw that, like the two suns, there were two moons in the sky, and the view was breathtaking.
However, as the night fell, the forest suddenly beca active, and he could hear indistinctive roars of different beasts.
'If I had taken the forest route, it would've been botherso.' Ace was glad he chose the river route, which was quite fast.
Nonetheless, he was still sowhat astounded by the river route, which seed to be extrely long. Despite traveling for hours, they were still going downstream.
Until Cyrus suddenly alerted Ace, "Big bro, soone is following us, and it is strong!"
