Eternal Thief
chapter-904

All Devil Continent, in the valley of blood, which was on the outskirts of the Blood Devil Clan territory, and this place was filled with bloody mist all year long.

This mist had a powerful hallucination and toxic effect, and this worked as a natural barrier for the Blood Devil Clan against all kinds of enemies.

But at this moment, no one had expected that a demon had made a huge underground cavern and she was performing alchemy.

This was naturally Noa, also known as the Skyfall Thief Assassin by the world, and this name struck fear in every devil's heart. She has become more of a killer than a thief because her target always ends up dead, and no one can escape once they are considered a target.

Even the Vile Devil Clan Head was assassinated by her, and now even the Blood Devil Clan feared her existence.

However, Noa still deemed herself not qualified enough to go after the Blood Devil Clan, and she focused on raising her thievery count before acquiring the next house rank.

She wanted to do it before others, and just yesterday, she succeeded. However, when the notification of being first to reach that rank didn't appear, Noa's heart went cold, and she knew Freya had probably beat her to it, which was unacceptable.

Freya had beaten her by just seven days!

However, her rage was subdued when she got the same mission as Freya, and it was the goddess no less. So, she didn't dare to show disrespect and vowed to complete it before Freya and not fail Ace's expectations anymore.

She already had a target in mind, and she even had performed an 8 million HP thievery before, so she wasn't too worried about not clearly this mission.

But to do that, she needed to break through to the Law Awareness Realm or at least become a Quasi Law Awareness Realm cultivator. She was already very close to this realm because she had found a way to grow and comprehend the law faster; it was Assassination!

The more she learned the art of assassination, and the more she killed, she seemed to become stronger and stronger, especially if she killed a stronger opponent than herself.

Now, she was on the verge of a breakthrough and just needed a little push, and that's why she had chosen to stay here and complete the 8th-grade potion to reach the 8th-grade demon body.

She was confident that she should be able to break through once she achieved 8th grade, and this was her biggest trump card against her strongest opponents.

As the Spirit Fire raged around the crimson cauldron, the golden black liquid was boiling while a rich Qi aroma filled the entire cavern. If she hadn't used multiple formations, she might've attracted unwanted attention.

Right at this moment, she suddenly pulled out a burning beast core and threw it into the golden black liquid, and the next moment, a phantom of a vicious beast materialized in front of Noa and roared at her, and the process became greatly unstable.

This was the will of a beast that once had spirit fire inside, and this was the most difficult part of the refinement process to subdue this will, or her entire potion would go to waste, and she had to search for another spirit fire beast core.

She only had three, and they were all given to her by Ace. She knew how difficult they were to gather, so she didn't have the luxury to waste them.

"King Refinement Soul Technique!" She muttered as her dark eyes shimmered with killing intent while she looked at the beast phantom.

This was the alchemy technique Ace found in Grim Ancestor's ring with the entire inheritance of the most powerful alchemist of her time, and he gave it to Noa.

The next moment, dark phantom hands appeared above the cauldron, and they instantly smashed that beast phantom back into the cauldron.

"King Refinement Soul Seal!" She instantly formed a few hand signs, and those phantom hands turned into seals that completely sealed the mouth of the cauldron and the next moment, the cauldron began to shake like crazy as if that beast phantom wanted to burst out.

But Noa expression remained unchanged as she released more Qi and didn't lose her focus.

Slowly, the shaking of the cauldron was subdued until they were completely gone, and she finally relaxed and opened the seal.

Inside, a glistering golden black liquid was present, which gave off the feeling of an intense inferno just by looking at it, and she knew the potion was ready for abortion.

'I need to absorb it in 9 days, or I'll die. Even with my grade-8 bloodline, this is very dangerous. But I need to do it to become the strongest and completely dominate the All Devil Continent!' Noa's pitch-black eyes shone with deep resolve as she pictured only a single person she was doing it all for.

Her robes started to vanish, revealing her flawless world-class figure, and she jumped inside the fiery liquid before the lid was completely sealed off and the cauldron started to tremble again!

While Noa was going through excruciating pain to become stronger, a ghost-like person had reached the core of the All Devil Continent, the Devil Tower!

The Devil Tower was the symbol of the Devil Clan, and it was just as holy to devils as the Demon Temple was to demons. Furthermore, the Devil Tower's size and shape, even color, were exactly the same as the Demon Temple, as if they were clones of each other.

No one was allowed to enter this place without permission, and like the demon temple, this tower was protected by the Blood Devil Clan and powerful formations around it. The security was even more ridiculous after the Sky Stealer robbed the Demon Temple.

However, this ghost-like man had somehow infiltrated this forbidden land without altering anyone.

He muttered in his ghost-like voice filled with malice and ecstasy, "Those devil bastards used my soul wisp to power this formation. How vicious yet foolish. They should've considered the possibility that once the true master of that soul arrives, it won't work. Now, I'm going to claim that soul as well as take their secret from this sacred ground of devils!"
