Ace didn't have time to check his condition because that guardian was getting ready for another attack and by the look of it this time that thing is going to use its Element Qi.
Ace quickly takes his dual swords out and with some difficulty, he stands up straight. Since the damage was done to his soul as well he was not in the condition to face even a Qi Foundation realm expert much less such a monster.
But he would not be going down without a fight even if its means facing this monster.
However, Ace has a strange thought at this moment, 'This thing didn't have a mouth then how did it scream? And how the hell a scream causes my soul to shock such a degree?'
Ace was very confused about this because even if he was closed to the guardian this shouldn't affect his soul so why does he take direct damage to the soul?
If not for his soul cultivation being at the same level as a foundation-building realm cultivator he would still be in that blank state and died long ago.
'Could this thing be a Soul Qi user just like me?' A scary thought surfaces in this mind.
Ace has never encountered any cultivator or demonic beast that used Soul Qi so he has no idea how a soul cultivator fight or their attack method. But if his conjunction was true then he was in more danger right now.
Because he didn't know how to defend against a soul cultivator and by the looks of it his dark void can't devour soul Qi either. Because if the dark void can really absorb the soul Qi his yellow wind core wouldn't have to react on its own. And he would not fell into a blank state this easily.
Before Ace could analyze the situation any further he saw the guardian who was gathering its white element Qi in its hand suddenly white strings starts to rise from it and those white strings directly penetrate all its eyeballs.
The moment this happened Ace's entire mind space shocked and this time on his yellow wind core a little crack appeared. His mind space nearly split in half. If not for his wind core he would've died by this unfamiliar and sudden attack.
Ace 'Mind Space' was actually his 'True Soul'. It was just that because of the Heaven Stealer special effect his soul has turned into Mind Space that can contain Soul Qi and the soul core of the black wind soul technique.
So, the damage that he just sustains was directed on his true soul, and to protect it the yellow wind core directly takes the attack for his true soul. That's how he manages to survive this vicious attack.
This is the true marvel of the Black Wind Soul Technique it will protect the soul of Heaven's Stealer until something shatter this soul core first that was formed from the technique.
He knows this because this mind space was directly connected to his life.
Since his body contains the Heavenly Qi, just like this his mind-space contains the Soul Qi. Didn't this mean this 'Mind Space' was actually his True Soul that contains his soul cultivation? He figures it out after his mind-space expands like his Qi of the body because of hidden gates of darkness.
'puuppp'
He vomits more blood and now his eyes were barely open anymore. His face was covered in blood and his nose was almost torn off.
'This is unmistakably a soul attack!' Ace judged weakly.
He never would've imagined that a soul qi user would be this powerful that it just needs to stand still and the target wouldn't even know how to block its sudden attacks.
Ace didn't know that the light element has a natural affinity with soul Qi and light element user even if they didn't cultivate in soul their Light Qi has a natural ability to harm souls. But it was not as scary as a real soul cultivator. However, it can still decide the course of any deathly battle between cultivators.
Typically, the light element cultivators are extremely rare and they are all treated like gems even in ancient sects. Because a normal element cultivator is hard to nurture into a soul cultivator however a light element user is easy to nurture into soul cultivators.
Soul Cultivators were treated like gems because they are unpredictable and they can attack anyone from long range and even if they were not powerful enough they can easily create an opening by simply attack someone who was in its life and death fight.
That's why if some power manages to nurture a strong soul cultivator they can easily turn the tides of important battles. Besides the soul cultivator has many more abilities.
But they have an obvious weakness and that is their weak bodies because the more they cultivate their soul their bodies would remain the same and only made ant-like progress. A Qi River realm soul cultivator body would be as strong as a First Gate Cultivator of Qi Gates Realm.
However, this guardian didn't have this weakness because it was born with the elemental orb and the orb has nurtured its body for a hundred thousand years. Its body was as strong as a mid-foundation building realm body cultivator.

Ace's yellow wind core was damaged because of the guardian's two soul attacks and it was very hard for him to even keep his awareness right now.
It seems he was doomed to die here but what can he do? If he used invisible bead that beast can simply use that strange howl again and since he didn't know how to defend against soul attack he would still take damage.
Ace suddenly has a grave idea to escape this situation, but this would also put him into an even more dangerous situation.
He was in a desperate situation anyway and to get a single chance to live he collect his resolution.
"I would take you to hell with me if this is the last thing I do!" Cursed Ace at the guardian that was looking at him with deep killing intent in its white eyes.
"System start the heavenly punishment for ME!" Ace roar as he looks at the dark sky. There was unwillingness in his eyes but also a strong resolve to live.
This is his last resort and he knew by doing this he was closing the final door to life. Because even if he never faces the heavenly thunder punishment before he has some idea just how powerful that is, after hearing that this punishment was supposed to help him felt the law of [Despair].
But what can he do if he not takes this final risk he would be dead anyway so he was not willing to die alone he would take this thing with him.
Moreover, If was all because of this thing that he was pushed this far to even made this kind of choice.
======
"[Process of absorbing the Nature's Light Elemental Orb has begun.]
[Warning: The Heavenly Thunder Turbulence will descend during the process of absorbing the elemental orb.]
[System recommends finding an isolated place or the Thunder Turbulence would take the living five hundred meters around host as an enemy as well and will do anything to destroy them!]
[The first form of Thunder Turbulence of Body and Soul 'White Despair Thunder' will descend in two seconds!]"
========
Ace sighed heavily as he muttered after hearing system notifications, "It's finally time to face my first heavenly punishment and its name is so gloomy I wonder if it's really is the thunder of despair."
But soon that heavy expression changes into a cold smile as he shifted his focus towards the guardian who was getting ready for another soul attack.
"Enjoy the show bitch! Heh," Ace mocked weakly.
The guardian was currently feeling quite confused because that little ant in its eyes has survived its two strongest soul attacks and one direct attack. And that ant is currently smiling at it. This greatly infuriates it and it was about attack again when it felt an extreme change in the atmosphere.
The guardians were extremely sensitive to the change in the elements around them and that's how they will find the intruders who wanted to take the orbs. So, this sudden change in the dark element causes the guardian to stop in its tracks because it could feel this change was very dangerous.
But before it could find what has happened the guardian felt his life was started to slip away from its huge body. It immediately knew that the ant has somehow begun to absorb the elemental orb.
It didn't have time to find the hidden danger because if the orb absorption were to complete he would be dead anyway. So, it ignored the warning coming from its instincts and at high speed, leaps towards Ace.
Just a moment ago, Ace felt that a strange Qi entering the pores of his body at high speed and directly enters the dark void. He felt like this Qi was extremely comfortable and his damaged soul core began to heal at a breakneck pace because of this particular Qi.
One has to know that the injuries on the souls were extremely hard to heal. And Ace's soul was filled with the Heavenly Soul Qi, consequently to heal his soul was even more difficult.
It was the Light Elemental Orb 'Element Essential Qi' that was currently healing his damaged yellow wind soul core.
