The instant the idol shattered far below the earth, Ace felt it, a tremor in the fabric of his cultivation heart, followed by a deep, resonant hum that rose like a heartbeat awakening for the first time.
Ace was flabbergasted before he quickly peered into his inner world. At that moment, the incomplete Sin Seal that had barely reached a quarter formation despite devouring so many corrupted abyssal beasts with Sin Law in the mines, surged as if swallowing a river of scarlet light.
Ace had no idea where this strange surge of mysterious yet profound Qi had come from. Still, he could feel it contained the purest form of Sin Law, specifically the Law of Gluttony, as the black-crimson radiance coiled around the Sin Seal, tightening, sharpening, and forging it.
Ace gasped softly, "…what's happening to you?"
The Sin Seal didn't answer with words; instead, it seemed to roar, and a shockwave rippled through his inner world, causing all seven Sin Stars to flare momentarily.
