Eternal Thief Chapter 858

Published at 25th of October 2023 09:15:46 AM



Moon Mountain was shaking like a tree in the storm when suddenly, massive rumbling sounds rang as the mountain suddenly started to sink!

In the sky, the flying palace was falling, and right at this moment, within the throne hall, the ten statues were glowing and slowly cracking as powerful auras were emitting from them.

The Union Leader, in a wretched state, was trying to stop those statues from being destroyed with a golden formation plate. But like the statues, the formation plate also seemed to be breaking.

"Hahaha... old swindler, stop your meaningless struggle! It is the end of the rope for you!" The spooky voice from the devil statue rang with deep madness as the statue's ghastly aura suddenly skyrocketed as if something was doing everything to break free.

"The day has finally come! I'm going to rip that annoying mouth of yours the first thing I came out!" A demonic voice filled with killing intent sounded from the demon statue as its aura wasn't any lower than the devil statue.

"Shut up! You are mere relics of the past and nothing but catalysts!" The Union Leader roared furiously.

But the panic in his eyes was quite apparent as he watched the statues and the formation plate shaking in his hand. He knew things had gone completely out of control.

However, if he let them continue further, all his years of planning would be crumbled like a sand castle, not to mention his own life would be in danger if those statues broke free.

But deep down, he knew with both the Sun and Moon Mountains destroyed, he was delaying the inevitable!

"What the hell is happening here!?" A deep voice sounded before the entrance door, which now wasn't supported by a formation pushed open by an invisible force.

The Devil Ancestor, Edward, walked in with an unpleasant expression, and following him were the Demon Ancestor, Albert, the Blood Ancestor, Margret, and lastly, the Human Ancestor, Dream Shatter, who entered the hall.

But all of them were shocked when they saw the crumbling statues and the disheveled Union Leader trying his best to stop them.

After their coup, the four ancestors were given promised rewards, and they were still busy absorbing them when the entire palace violently shook before all the formations suddenly stopped.

The next thing they heard were furious voices, and they could feel the palace was falling, so they naturally came here to find the Union Leader to seek what was happening.

But now, they were completely bewildered when they saw the glowing statues and the auras they were giving off were no less threatening than the Union Leader himself or even stronger.

They all had been in this place, but like everyone else, they also thought those statues were just decorations, but now, it didn't seem to be the case.

The Union Leader's expression went uglier as he looked at the four ancestors. Helpless, he can't hide it anymore, so he decides to seek their help.

"There is no time to explain. Just help me seal them, or we all have no place in this world if they break free!" The Union Leader grimly spoke.

"Descendant! Don't fall for this swindler's tricks! Help me, and once I break free, I'll help you enter the Law Comprehension Realm. I can feel you are struck at the realm wall!" The devil's statue spoke with full of temptation.

"Yes! Help us! Nothing good will come from believing him! He will seal you guys as well once you break into the Law Comprehension Realm as he did with us!" The hunter statue roared.

Edward and the others were shocked as their eyes shone with disbelief. The Law Comprehension Realm was their biggest dream, and nothing was more alluring than it for them.

They were helping the Union Leader before because of this exact temptation as well!

"Don't listen to them!" The Union Leader gloomily retorted, "They are the loyal dogs of the Union! If they break free, they won't spear a single soul that includes you! So, help me seal them with your elemental orbs, and I'll give you the full Solar Moon Technique!"

"Hahahaha, what gal do you have?! You dare to use my cultivation technique as a bargaining chip!" A mocking voice sounded from the Elf statue, "Listen well, I'll give you the entire technique right now. In return, destroy that formation plate. Don't worry. He had exhausted too much Qi to keep us all in check, so he's no match for you. Moreover, we are willing to take a heavenly oath never to harm you. He's the real enemy of us all!"

This time, the Union Leader's expression warped when he noticed his mistake. He could see the look in the four ancestors' eyes had started to change. Even the loyal Dream Shatter had a faint, cruel smile.

Although they had a very long and productive relationship, he knew better than anyone what kind of snake Dream Shatter was, and that guy would switch sides, like changing clothes, if he could get what he wanted. n-)0Vεlb1n

In the end, the Union Leader had no choice but to offer something far greater than anyone else in this hall, or years of preparation would go to drain.

"I know you all do not trust me, and you guys hold a pretty deep grudge against me. But don't you all always want to know my goal of doing all this?" The Union Leader coldly stated, "There is a very, very powerful treasure hidden in the mortal sky. Something you can't even imagine and something that can make you break free from the restrictions of the mortal sky.

"The Law Comprehension Realm is just a speck of dust in front of that treasure because, with it, you can go beyond that realm and the mortal sky. For years, I've been searching for that treasure's whereabouts, and I can guarantee you that it exists since I've had records written by the Sun and Moon God!

"I'm willing to share it with everyone as long as you all take the Heavenly Oath not to retaliate. I'm very close to finding it... NO! I know where the last clue is. Just think about it for a moment; I'm willing to take the Heavenly Oath, which can't be broken.

"But if you all insist on petty revenge, you will never be able to know about it, as I will destroy everything related to it if I die!" Madness shone in the Union Leader's eyes as he clearly wasn't joking.

This time, no one spoke as everyone seemed to be shocked by this revelation.

But right at this moment, the entire palace rumbled before a powerful shock wave spread, and with it, everything started to crumble down as the palace finally collided with the ground!
