Eternal Thief

Chapter 954 Forbidden Radiation Sea In a luminous, wide space filled with water and dense Qi, a male seemingly in his late twenties was sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut. His expression was extremely gloomy for some reason. This was the President of the Sea Kings Federation, Pen!

Lately, Pen's mood has been extremely perplexed, and he has kept encountering bad luck it all started from the time when he lost the natural treasure which he had been using for hundreds of years. Afterward, it was all like a bad dream for him. Not only did he not obtain the way to ascend, but he was even beaten by a land dweller, which was extremely shameful.

Moreover, he was forced to come back to the federation and had to handle this annoying place, which he really didn't like. But peace never came as Freddy went out and offended some old monster and then went on a rampage, and he had to step up and suppress him. Pen wanted to leave again, but the elders, this time, didn't give him a chance and begged while grabbing his legs.

In the end, annoyed, Pen had to stay since he really cared about his home despite his hate for the responsibilities. Furthermore, the land dwellers somehow found their kingdom, and they were now planning to launch an attack. To make matters worse, the leading figure in this war was none other than the same person he lost to.

Just thinking about it made Pen ground his teeth in hatred, and he was preparing for his revenge. He hates the Union Lord because, in his mind, he was the one who stood between him and ascension, as he didn't dare to hate that unfathomable senior or find him. He had lost all face. "If you continue like this, you'll eventually suffer Qi deviation." A nonchalant voice rang.

Pen's eyes snapped open in shock as he was completely startled since this place was filled with traps and was the most secure place in the entire federation. Yet, this unknown person appeared here without even alerting him or triggering any trap. A few meters away from him was a figure clad in dark blue armor; his face was hidden behind a mask, and only his astute, calm, dark blue eyes were visible.

Furthermore, he can't sense this person's cultivation at all, and he is extremely calm as he looks at him like he is nothing but a mortal. "Who?" Pen asked coldly while he was prancing secretly and preparing to flee the moment he got the chance. Ace couldn't help but smile behind his mask and coolly said, "What do you already forget about our deal? Not only did you fail to complete my mission, but you didn't even come to report it back, so I think I found you since I was bored." Pen's heart trembled as his eyes widened.

He instantly knew who this person was and couldn't help but exclaimed with a tingle of excitement, "S-senior, is that really you?" Pen was now really certain that this person was a hidden expert and the most terrifying one in the entire world. But then he felt even more ashamed about his failure and even felt slightly touched that the Senior came here to check on him. "Who else could it be?" Ace plainly replied, "So, you ended up losing to the Union Lord, huh?" Pen blushed in embarrassment and cussed Union Lord for making him lose face in front of senior. "I-I…" "Alright, no need to explain. It doesn't matter since you dare to try.

I can see your determination and resolve to achieve ascension. Today, I found you for three reasons, and based on your further performance, I might give you another chance to achieve ascension." Ace solemnly stated with an air of mysterious expert around him. Pen was instantly elated and quickly stood up, bowing in front of Ace, and promised, "I'll do it!

Please grant me this opportunity!" Ace's lips curled up in a devious smile, "Alright, first, I want to skim through your records like the one you gave him last time. There is something I'm searching for if I find it. I'll grant your race a fortuitous opportunity, so it all depends on your sincerity." Pen instantly agreed, "Senior, please, you don't need to be reserved.

The forbidden library is always open for you, and you can search for anything. No one will dare to restrict your steps. I can guarantee that!" This matter was very small in Pen's eyes since, in his mind, an expert like this wouldn't be interested in their race's secrets or in their techniques.

So, this was a very small price to pay for a favor. Ace nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Second, I want to know if you have ever heard about Mortal Sky Heart Empire or come in contact with a place that other people like the ten continents inhabit?" Pen frowned a little as he thought carefully before replying, "Do islands count?" Ace shook his head, "No, at least another continent like the ten continents and Union continent of the past, or it could also be a mainland like the current ten continents." He was really hoping to find some clues here, but seeing Pen's expression, he had lost almost all his hope. "No, senior, if there was another continent or mainland, we couldn't have missed it all this time." Pen shook his head before he suddenly thought of something and said, "But if there was such a place, it has to be on the other side of the Forbidden Radiation Sea, or at least the chances are very high." Ace's eyes shimmered with surprise, "Tell me more about this forbidden radiation sea." Pen didn't delay and quickly revealed, "You see, senior, when we travel a certain distance in the endless sea, we will eventually encounter a wall of Qi radiation mist that is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea. Not only we can't fly over it, but we can't even swim as the water is filled with Qi radiation. "Furthermore, that wall is in every direction like a box, isolating this place.

I once traveled to that place in search of ascension and wasted over a hundred years to avail. Moreover, Qi radiation in that place is extremely potent. Even low-grade-8 treasure can only last about a year before corroding with radiation and then rotting away. "Even I felt a sense of death in that place, so I quickly gave up on crossing the forbidden radiation sea." Pen felt a chill just thinking about that bad memory when he also killed himself in search of ascension.

Ace was also surprised as he never thought there was such a place, and he knew this place was worth searching for. At least it was far better than nothing!
