Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 1215: Targeted!

TL: Etude

After Blackwind Mountain seized the Void Dark Realm, they began transforming it, cultivating it into a Heavenly King training base. Even some exceptional True Ancestors were allowed to enter the Void Dark Realm for cultivation.

At this moment…

The Heavenly Emperor Palace had already learned about Blackwind Mountain’s acquisition of a medium Forbidden Void Realm. The three Palace Masters of the Heavenly Emperor Palace and several Imperial Monarchs were infuriated.

However, they made no moves.

After all, the medium Forbidden Void Realm had already been taken. That was an unchangeable fact.

With the strength of Blackwind Mountain, once they gained control of the medium Forbidden Void Realm, even the Heavenly Emperor Palace would be powerless to retake it.

But the Heavenly Emperor Palace set its sights on the Dark King. The strength the Dark King displayed this time was simply too overwhelming. If such a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor were to step into the Invincible Dao Ancestor level, or even spend some time accumulating experience at that level, they might become invincible among Invincible Dao Ancestors. They could even contend with weaker Half-Step Domain Ancestors.

…

On this day.Palace Master Azure Dragon, Palace Master Zhenwu, and Palace Master White Tiger of the Heavenly Emperor Palace were discussing the matter of the Dark King.

“What is the situation with Blackwind Mountain’s Dark King? He has mastered two Forbidden Dao Techniques, and whether it’s his physical strength, Forbidden Dao Force, or soul power, they’ve all reached terrifying levels. If his Dao hadn’t yet reached the Invincible Dao Ancestor level, I would have thought he was already an Invincible Dao Ancestor!” Palace Master Azure Dragon exclaimed angrily.

“He must be one of Blackwind Mountain’s secretly cultivated Pinnacle Dao Ancestors who has never been revealed before.

Blackwind Mountain has an unknown number of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. For another one to emerge like this is hardly surprising,” Palace Master Zhenwu speculated.

“But this Dark King is simply too powerful. A Pinnacle Dao Ancestor with such potential—once he becomes an Invincible Dao Ancestor, he will be a major threat!” Palace Master White Tiger said coldly.

“If we weren’t allies right now, I’d want to personally destroy this Dark King. The same goes for the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, another Pinnacle Dao Ancestor of Blackwind Mountain from the Human Race. His potential is also immense. In the future, he could likewise threaten us. Both are on the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s must-kill list!” Palace Master Azure Dragon declared.

Palace Master Zhenwu chuckled. “How long would it take them to grow to our level? Besides, once the Forbidden Realm is born, we’ll have the chance to advance to the Domain Ancestor level. By then, the Dark King and the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws would be nothing more than ants.

“Furthermore, on the day the Forbidden Dao is born, they may not even be able to ascend to the Invincible Dao Ancestor level.

“To refine one’s Dao to its utmost and ascend to the Invincible Dao Ancestor level isn’t something mere talent can achieve. It requires endless years, and the stronger one’s Dao, the harder it is to reach the pinnacle. Take our Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Flame Ancestor, for example. Due to the hidden injuries in his body, he has been unable to ascend, and we won’t even mention him. But Dao Ancestor Blackguard’s defensive Dao is too strong, and this has prevented him from perfecting it and ascending to the Invincible Dao Ancestor level. He’s always just a step short.

“That Dark King’s Dao is so powerful. Although he relies on Forbidden Dao, the path he’s chosen is probably even stronger than Dao Ancestor Blackguard’s. Refining such a Dao to perfection—how difficult must that be?”

“That’s true,” Palace Master Azure Dragon and Palace Master White Tiger both agreed.

“Let’s leave it at that. Consider it a victory for Blackwind Mountain this time,” Palace Master Azure Dragon said. “In the future, more Forbidden Void Realms are sure to emerge, and perhaps even a Forbidden Realm will be born. Our Heavenly Emperor Palace’s strongest combat strength is at the Invincible Dao Ancestor level. If not for the restriction on Invincible Dao Ancestors participating, they wouldn’t have had the chance to seize this advantage!”

Palace Master Zhenwu and Palace Master White Tiger both strongly agreed with this statement. Furthermore, even with control of the medium Forbidden Void Realm, Blackwind Mountain would not be able to rapidly increase their strength. At best, they had gained an unbreachable base.

Thus, Blackwind Mountain still could not pose a threat to the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s position.

…

Nine Rivers Base

Ye Tian once again visited Ouyang Jiu’er’s residence and returned the Realm-Suppressing Stele to her.

“Not bad. Your strength has surpassed that of Flame Ancestor and the others!” Ouyang Jiu’er remarked.

She recalled the time when she first met Ye Tian. Back then, he wasn’t particularly powerful. While his talent was impressive, it wasn’t enough to astonish her.

After all, she was once a Half-Step Domain Ancestor and had encountered countless geniuses in the Divine Heaven Domain.

Yet now, Ye Tian had defeated Flame Ancestor, Dao Ancestor Blackguard, and others at the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level. Alone, he suppressed five Pinnacle Dao Ancestors of that level. His combat strength had reached a fearsome peak. Even within the entire Divine Heaven Domain, such Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were exceedingly rare.

Only the top legendary forces within the Divine Heaven Domain could cultivate such extraordinary Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.

Moreover, Ouyang Jiu’er was keenly aware that Ye Tian had not yet reached the limit of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level. He could still grow stronger.

Once Ye Tian reached the pinnacle of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level, his combat power would likely defy estimation. He might even be able to cross levels and slay Invincible Dao Ancestors.

“Jiu’er, stop flattering me. If we’re talking about strength, you might not be any weaker than me—perhaps even stronger!” Ye Tian said with a smile.

Ouyang Jiu’er rolled her eyes at him. After all, she was the reincarnation of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor. The Forbidden Dao Techniques she mastered numbered far more than one or two, and her accomplishments in both Forbidden Dao and Forbidden Dao Techniques were incredibly high. Given this, her combat strength couldn’t possibly be weak.

However, she was also keenly aware that her past life’s foundation was almost depleted. Once she stepped into the Invincible Dao Ancestor level, her previous life’s foundation would no longer provide much help.

When that time came, Ye Tian surpassing her would be an inevitability.

After chatting for a while, Ye Tian finally left Ouyang Jiu’er’s residence.

In the days that followed, Ye Tian occasionally hunted forbidden insects and occasionally entered the Void Dark Realm to cultivate.

However, he refrained from moving the Nine Limits Legion or some Human Race Dao Ancestors into the Void Dark Realm. Cultivators who hadn’t reached the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level found better results cultivating in small Forbidden Void Realms due to the time dilation effect there.

Once they reached the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level, they could no longer enter small Forbidden Void Realms, and medium Forbidden Void Realms became their best option.

Additionally…

Ye Tian had gained control over half of the Void Dark Realm’s permissions. He could even channel a small portion of the Void Dark Realm’s origin to refine his physical body and accelerate his cultivation. This was one of the privileges granted to the Realm Master of a medium Forbidden Void Realm.

Of course, he did not dare to recklessly deplete the Void Dark Realm’s origin. Excessive consumption would have significant consequences for the realm.

As time slowly passed, in the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had gone by.
