Chapter 1251: A Thief in the Bank!


    ?


    After Ace robbed more than ten shops belonging to powerful first-grade sects, he finally felt satisfied and moved towards the main target after causing enough distraction.


    The thefts in the market go way easier than Ace had thought they would because, with a soul probe, he quickly found the people who held the keys to those treasuries. With his absolute pickpocket, he can directly pickpocket a specific treasure from someone as long as he knows what it looks like and if that person has it.


    Once he got those keys, all he needed to do was to use the Dismantle Spirit Qi and stealth to sneak into the treasuries and inventories of those shops. Thebination of Dismantle Spirit Qi and stealth was really terrifying since no formation could detect him as long as he didn''t make a mistake or trigger something because of his own stupidity.


    Right now, Ace, enshrouded in an invisible shroud of stealth above theyer of Dismantle Spirit Qi, moved through the Prime Heavenly Bank Branch like a ghost, and no formation were triggered while he was closely monitoring the treasure blueprint map.


    "Remember to alert me if you see any unusual movements. I''m relying on you, Moira!" Ace solemnly stated.


    "Don''t worry, sir. I seemed to have gained a special ability in this state. Now, I can sense all those fate points emotions and easily detect if they had any ill will towards you!" Moira promised with great resolution.


    Ace''s lips curled up slightly as he didn''t think the danger detection would also affect Moira, and he couldn''t be happier. Now, he can focus all his attention on this mission.


    Ace was extremely careful, and his every step was silent, his presence undetectable as he navigated the deserted hallways of the bank''s interior, ording to the map.


    The chaos outside had greatly thinned the crowd within, leaving only a handful of bank employees, who remained oblivious to his presence. The glow of formations embedded in the walls cast eerie shadows as he slipped deeper into the building.


    Ace never thought that his venture to gather TP would give him this kind of advantage. But when he thought about it, this made sense since this kind of event hadn''t happened in the entire Spirit Inferno Domain before, much less in the second grand sect''s main cities. Everyone would be paying attention to this, even the bank!


    When he reached the second level carefully yet quickly, Ace paused, allowing his Primordial Law Sense to spread in the surrounding area. The second level of the bank was heavily protected; a densework of surveince formations and defensive arrays guarded it.


    Furthermore, now that his heavenlyw sense has evolved into Primordial Law Sense, he can easily pick up on formations created withw runes of ascension grade.


    His sense picked up every subtle pulse and fluctuation in these formations. At this moment, Ace, with a calm, practiced hand, released Lawless Darkness Qi, which he called the ''Darkness Veil,'' a self-created technique that temporarily disrupted the perception of those nearby and dampened the sensory feedback of the arrays or any formations, even spells and attacks. After his primew and cultivation entered the Ascension Warrior Realm, he discovered that the effect of the Lawless Darkness could now be used like this as well. This sudden understanding urred after his primew increased, and he created the world seed.


    This way, he won''t have to waste his Lawless Darkness limit, and he starts to learn more refined ways of using this overpowered ability.


    After all, his Twilight Traverse can''t be used within ascension-grade formations yet since its power is still too weak.


    "Good, no one noticed it..." He muttered to himself, weaving through the maze of security like a phantom.


    Despite the Darkness Veil, each step was a calcted move. Ace maneuvered between narrow gaps in the arrays using his primordialw sense, sometimes shifting his form to squeeze through tiny spaces, other times waiting for a fluctuation in the formation''s energy flow to slip past undetected without even using the darkness veil.


    When he reached the end of the second level, he faced a wall with intricate runic patterns glowing faintly—a secondary barrier that only authorized personnel could pass.


    Furthermore, Ace knew that the teleportation room where he met the Vault Warden was not far away, so he was even more careful in this ce.


    A smirk yed on his lips, as he could clearly see this wall was a powerful illusion. It was actually a barrier. Without hesitation, he activated thewless darkness at full capacity, which shifted his form into pure darkness.


    Ace seized the opportunity without wasting any time, phasing through the barrier with a surge of hiswless darkness and reappearing on the other side.


    Quickly stopping thewless darkness, he entered the third level for the first time, and it was even more borate. It was designed not only to prevent entry but also to trap intruders inyers of spatial confinement if they tripped the rms.


    Ace crouched low, his eyes scanning the area with the fate map while his Heavenly Thief Sense expanded, revealing theplex patterns of spatial distortions and hidden runic traps. One wrong move here, and he''d find himself sealed in an isted dimension-something even his formidable abilities would struggle to escape.


    Ace took a deep breath, focusing his senses. After ncing at the pathway forward, he used the darkness veil again and moved.


    With precise movements, he twisted his body, sidestepping the invisible distortions and expertly avoiding the trap triggers since, despite the few seconds of distortion, he still needed to be careful not to trip any rm here recklessly.


    Ace''s fluid and graceful movements resembled those of a dancer as he navigated the treacherous path forward. His senses detected a spatial fluctuation—a hidden shift that would have caught anyone unaware.


    Smirking, he reacted, andwless darkness activated again as he bent low, rolling forward. The space where he had just stood warped and shimmered.


    After several tense minutes of maneuvering, he finally reached a reinforced door adorned with the insignia of the Prime Heavenly Bank. Beyond this door was the hurdle towards the heart of the bank, where the final level''s entry point was and also where the true wealth and treasures were kept.


    Furthermore, the master lock was also behind this sealed door. Not only that, but Ace knew that this door was also connected to the master look on the other side!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    At his point, everything was going smoothly, as none of the hidden guards had detected anything, and he was very close to this goal.


    "Time for the main event,'' Ace thought, his eyes gleaming sharply!
