The mysterious archipelago was enshrouded in gloomy silence, and some figures were moving silently on each island, clearly didn't want to be noticed by something.
However, a stern, imposing voice suddenly reverberated in the entire archipelago and alerted everyone.
"Humans of Mortal Sky, you all dare to disturb my peace, for it is an unforgivable sin worth death!
"But not only you all dared to disturb my peace, you 'Humans' even stole my Spirit Fire and then tried to run away with it as if it belonged to you.
"O' foolish 'Humans,' you shall all perish under the wrath of heaven, for it will be your only salvation!"
The imposing voice was thunderous, and even after it was stopped, it echoed for a few moments. When everyone snapped out of their stupor, their expression started to change into disbelief before they turned hideous.
It was especially the case for the Devil, Demon, Hunter, and Magic Beast Races because if that voice was telling the truth, then this mean the humans have somehow got their hands on the spirit fire right under their noses, and now they are even trying to flee!
As for that voice, they didn't care much since if the owner of that voice could even lose the spirit fire to humans, then they had nothing to worry about this guy. On the contrary, they should thank him since he alerted them, and now all of them headed toward the island occupied by the humans like mad dogs.
"Where are they?!" The Shadow Devil Duke emerged from the shadows like a ghost, and he roared when he didn't find any humans or their ships around the island at all.
"Those cunning bastards must've had the spirit fire, and they snuck out while we were busy sucking up our thumbs!" The lion-face magic beast growled in fury as he landed on the island with a bang, creating a small crater.
The purple hair hunter also appeared on the scene quite swiftly with an ugly expression.
The demon minister was last to enter the scene and furiously cussed, "It's seemed it was all but a ploy of that Dream Shatter. He should've given the humans some sort of treasure to steal that spirit fire. Hmph, I expect nothing less from a race that gives birth to the blasted thief, Sky Stealer. All of them are thieves and should be rooted out from this world!"
However, for some strange reason, the Demon Minister didn't sound that much furious. His anger even sounded somewhat… fake.
Nevertheless, the others were simply too occupied with what happened and had time to pay the demon minister any extra attention.
But they all had no idea that a hooded figure stood on the central island of the archipelago, right where the old shrine was located.
In the darkness of night, he stood there, appearing somewhat lonely and even tired. But the rage and resolve burning in the depth of his dark blue eyes tell another story.
A long sigh escaped from his mouth before the robes vanished from his person, replaced by plain black clothes, and his peerless face was revealed. But suddenly, the white hair and scars on his face also started to fade, and a pristine handsome face with inky long black hair appeared.
After Ace stowed away every treasure on his body, he felt somewhat comfortable, but when he looked at the interface opened in front of him, he knew it wouldn't last for much longer.
=====
[All requirements for the next realm breakthrough have been fulfilled!]I think you should take a look at
[Process of absorbing Nature's Yang Elemental Orb has begun!]
[The Fourth [Heavenly Punishment of Body and Soul] will start in ten seconds!]
--
[Warning: The Heavenly Punishment will descend during the process of orb absorption. But it will be immediately stopped if the host faints or loses consciousness during the process. Thereby, the host will die!]

Ace's lips suddenly curled in a cruel smile, "Just as I thought, those guys didn't even waste a second before they ran off towards the human island like a bunch of hyenas. Now they will think what I want them to think. Now let's see if those can live to tell the tail, though. I saw in the fate map earlier that there are some hidden Law Awareness Realm Cultivators among the three races…"
Suddenly Ace looked up as a familiar aura suddenly descended on the lands, and his smile became extremely chilly.
Just like Ace, the others also felt a strange aura suddenly descend on them, and they all looked toward the sky in unison, and their eyes contracted because, out of nowhere, pitch-black clouds suddenly started to gather above the central island.
Furthermore, those clouds were increasing in size at a terrible speed, and before they knew it, they had already covered the entirety of the central island and still expanding strongly.
But this was just the detail about clouds because the pressure suddenly increased like crazy, and that made everyone shudder in horror as they all felt a primordial fear rise from the depth of their hearts like never before.
"T-that voice said something about the wrath of heaven, right?" The purple hair hunter suddenly spoke as his voice was filled with uncertainty and a hint of unimaginable horror!
"This is absurd…" The Shadow Devil Duke tried to retort, but his voice instantly caught in his throat because that ghastly pressure suddenly doubled, and the dark clouds were now forming right above their head.
Furthermore, it was at this moment that they spotted a double color lighting swimming within the pitch-black clouds. The moment they laid eyes on that lightning, they felt like their soul were starting to burn, and their bodies were losing all their strength.
They quickly avert their eyes and pant heavily with beads of sweat, and their body quivers slightly.
The clouds gathering above them grew even faster, and the pressure increased more and more.
"Run!"
No one knows who said it, but it sure does trigger something within them, and without hesitation, they used their strongest skills, trump cards, or treasures to flee from the clouds.
They all could feel deep within their hearts. No, they knew that if they didn't hurry and escape from those terrifying clouds, they would never be able to!
