1120 Beast Calamity Mountain Range (1) Ace used the twilight traverse while the white side of the light barrier was quickly approaching him despite getting outside the city gates. On the other side of the city gates was a huge plaza surrounded by a vast forest, and there were only two spacious inclined roads right ahead. However, Ace decided to take the closest route outside the plaza, which leads into the forest. Still, Ace felt extremely slow. He felt he wouldn't make it because the white light enveloped him, and the closer that light became, the more Ace could sense the grave danger it posed to him. Having no choice, Ace took out a precious teleportation grade-8 talisman that he got from the Skylar Clan's treasury. He instantly activated it just when the white light was about to touch the boundary of the plaza, completely sealing off his escape routes. The next moment, Ace's figure vanished, and at this moment, the entire Sect Alliance City was covered in a half-white and white golden light barrier! A thousand miles southeast of the Beast Calamity Mountain Range, right above a plunge pool under a huge waterfall, Ace appeared and fell directly into the pool. "Saved!" Ace didn't care about falling into the water as he was feeling huge relief as if he had escaped a huge calamity which he did, and started to swim towards the edge of the pool. Once he was outside the water, Ace sat down on the bank to calm his widely beating heart. 'Damn it. This is getting more and more dangerous. It's like, after the ascension, my bad luck has reached another level.' Ace cussed as he still felt surreal about almost falling into a deathly situation within a few hours of awakening into the Mortal Ascension Heaven. However, he was more curious about Heaven's Advocate, and his expression became even graver. He had never felt that kind of dread from anyone before except Heavenly Punishment.
Ace replied uncertainly, "I don't know. For now, let's see where this river leads." "What? No more food hunting?" Cyrus sounded dejected. "Heh, now isn't the time to think about food. Leaving this place is more important. We can go food hunting afterward." Ace smiled wryly, but he was glad Cyrus was here to accompany him. Just like that, time passed, and the medium-sized ship continued to move downward. Ace's fear of getting intercepted by the Heaven's Advocate never became true, which was nothing but good news for him. Furthermore, they entered some water-type magic beasts that attacked them, but they were all dealt by Cyrus, turned into ashes, and those with some sort of intelligence that could sense Cyrus's aura didn't dare to approach them. When night arrived, which was also Ace's first night in Mortal Ascension Heaven, he saw that, like the two suns, there were two moons in the sky, and the view was breathtaking. However, as the night fell, the forest suddenly became active, and he could hear indistinctive roars of different beasts. 'If I had taken the forest route, it would've been bothersome.' Ace was glad he chose the river route, which was quite fast. Nonetheless, he was still somewhat astounded by the river route, which seemed to be extremely long. Despite traveling for hours, they were still going downstream. Until Cyrus suddenly alerted Ace, "Big bro, someone is following us, and it is strong!"
