Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1139: Ye Xingchen Slays a Pinnacle True Ancestor!

TL: Etude

“What’s going on? The True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws has mastered the Dark Forbidden Power, and now his offspring have as well? This is far too coincidental. Could it be that he possesses some kind of treasure that grants the Dark Forbidden Power to others?” guessed Sword Sovereign Golden Light as he looked at Ye Tian.

But even if he had guessed correctly, it didn’t change anything—he was no match for Ye Tian. Not even dozens of Invincible True Ancestors could contend with him.

The combat power of a Supreme True Ancestor was not only fearsome but enduring, backed by boundless origin force. This allowed for continuous bursts of battle strength and the repeated casting of forbidden techniques without ever exhausting his strength.

On the other hand, these Invincible True Ancestors couldn’t manage such feats. If any of them engaged Ye Tian in close combat, they would be slaughtered one by one.

Thus, no Invincible True Ancestor dared to entertain the idea of challenging Ye Tian.

At that moment, Ye Xingchen and Sword Sovereign Flashing Light continued their fierce battle.

Though both of them were Pinnacle True Ancestors, Ye Xingchen possessed a Forbidden Body, and his foundations were leagues stronger than Sword Sovereign Flashing Light’s. This Sword Sovereign Flashing Light was effectively a subpar Pinnacle True Ancestor; after a few bursts of Pinnacle True Ancestor-level attacks, he began to falter.

Moreover, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light’s defenses didn’t meet the standard of an average Pinnacle True Ancestor; only his offensive power was at that level. Strictly speaking, he was the weakest type of Pinnacle True Ancestor.

As a result, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light was utterly suppressed by Ye Xingchen.

Normally, a battle between two Pinnacle True Ancestors would take a long time to reach a life-and-death conclusion. However, Ye Xingchen’s Forbidden Power repeatedly injured Sword Sovereign Flashing Light, whose recovery rate was too slow, causing his injuries to worsen continuously.

Additionally, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light’s strength had been artificially enhanced, limiting his skills. He couldn’t break free from Ye Xingchen’s relentless assault and was repeatedly injured.

As his injuries deepened, the side effects of his forced enhancement began to show, with his life force rapidly declining, his entire being deteriorating at an alarming rate.

For a True Ancestor, this situation shouldn’t have occurred, but here it was, happening to Sword Sovereign Flashing Light.

Seeing this, Sword Sovereign Golden Light was furious.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had managed to cultivate only this one Pinnacle True Ancestor—not because they hadn’t wanted to train more but because too few were willing, and the costs were exorbitant. If it weren’t so costly, any force could nurture an army of Pinnacle True Ancestors. Even short-lived Pinnacle True Ancestors could exert terrifying strength in battle, enough to shift the power balance between two factions.

In reality, even with unlimited resources, the Heavenly Sword Sect could produce only a few Pinnacle True Ancestors, and the expense was barely worth it.

They had always believed that cultivating a single Pinnacle True Ancestor would suffice.

Who would have thought that they hadn’t even entered the Forbidden Treasure Lands yet, and one would already fall in the selection stage.

Now, Sword Sovereign Golden Light could only hope that the selection of the hundred thousand True Ancestors would end soon. That way, Ye Xingchen wouldn’t be able to kill Sword Sovereign Flashing Light.

But when he glanced around, he saw that a million True Ancestors still remained in this world, meaning it would likely be a long time before the selection concluded.

Time passed, and Sword Sovereign Flashing Light began to feel despair. His injuries were too severe; he could hardly hold on any longer.

He had one last opportunity, however—his final chance.

“The Heavenly Sword Sect gave me a mid-tier forbidden wondrous object capable of unleashing a forbidden strike. If used well, it might severely wound or even kill Ye Xingchen!” Sword Sovereign Flashing Light thought to himself.

Soon, the perfect moment arose! As Ye Xingchen’s spear pierced through him, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light activated the forbidden wondrous object.

A forbidden object shaped like a leaf shot from his hand, transforming into a beam of light that instantly pierced through Ye Xingchen.

The strike was incredibly fast and locked onto Ye Xingchen, making it nearly impossible for even a Pinnacle True Ancestor to dodge.

However—

A forbidden wondrous object on Ye Xingchen’s body automatically transformed into a forbidden armor, protecting him in an instant. Although Sword Sovereign Flashing Light’s forbidden strike pierced the armor, its remaining force was minimal and was easily blocked by Ye Xingchen’s Forbidden Body.

Seeing this, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light was utterly crushed by despair.

“Of course… He is the blood son of the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws. How could he not possess a defensive forbidden wondrous object?” Sword Sovereign Flashing Light mocked himself bitterly.

Suddenly—

His body was shattered by a Star Dao technique from Ye Xingchen. Forbidden spears pinned his broken remains, obliterating every last trace of life within him.

And with that, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light fell completely.

He became the only Pinnacle True Ancestor to perish in this selection!

On another front, Ye Xingyue unleashed her Pinnacle True Ancestral Force, slaughtering all in her path—no one dared provoke her.

Before long, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue regrouped, joining forces to sweep through all opposition nearly without resistance.

Time passed, and soon the voice of True Ancestor Hebo rang out.

“The selection of one hundred thousand True Ancestors is complete. All True Ancestors, cease fighting!” True Ancestor Hebo commanded.

Whoosh! One by one, True Ancestors flew out from the world. Some were heavily injured, others appeared at ease, while still others were brimming with fighting spirit, their bodies stained in blood…

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue flew to Ye Tian’s side, greeting him with, “Father!”

“Well done, you didn’t disappoint me!” Ye Tian nodded with satisfaction.

With the one hundred thousand True Ancestors chosen, some needed time to recover due to their severe injuries. However, they couldn’t be given much time.

After all, many True Ancestors had used forbidden techniques to hasten their advancement, which shortened their lifespan. If too much time passed, their combat power would become unreliable.

Thus, in a year’s time, everyone would be required to enter the Forbidden Treasure Lands.

One year passed swiftly, and the True Ancestors stayed within Myriad Ancestors City, waiting in silence.

In the blink of an eye, the year had come and gone.

On that day, the one hundred thousand True Ancestors set out for the Forbidden Treasure Lands, where each checkpoint opened up, lifting its seals.

The Forbidden Treasure Lands spanned a forest-covered continent within the Vajra True Nation, and the entire forest exuded an aura of forbidden power. The trees within weren’t ordinary; influenced by the forbidden power, they had become extraordinarily valuable. Some of these trees could even be used to forge weapons, infused with a hint of forbidden attributes. Boom! The combined strength of one hundred thousand True Ancestors shattered the forest’s barrier, and they entered the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, they encountered their first wave of forbidden bloodline creatures.

The slaughter began! Given their numbers, the True Ancestors easily overwhelmed the forbidden bloodline creatures, slaying one after another.

For Ye Xingchen, this was his first encounter with forbidden bloodline creatures, but he knew their value. He poured his full strength into killing each creature and storing them in his inner world.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten his true purpose here—the Natal Talent Tree! Whoosh! The True Ancestors quickly surged toward the Natal Talent Tree, which was enormous, dwarfing the other giant trees, and its forbidden aura permeated the entire treasure grounds, making it easy to locate.

Before long, the True Ancestors neared the Natal Talent Tree.

Near the tree lay numerous forbidden bloodline creatures, three of which were especially powerful, their auras nearly rivaling those of Invincible True Ancestors, and at the pinnacle of strength among Pinnacle True Ancestors.

In single combat, none of the True Ancestors present could match them, but their advantage lay in numbers.

“A mass of forbidden bloodline creatures… and three Pinnacle True Ancestor-level forbidden bloodline creatures!” Ye Xingchen frowned.

This would be a hard battle. Though they had numbers on their side, with a full hundred thousand True Ancestors, their overall quality wasn’t high, while the forbidden bloodline creatures had both endurance and formidable combat strength. Most of them were equivalent to elite Pinnacle True Ancestors, and many rivaled top-tier True Ancestors.

Of course, killing all these forbidden bloodline creatures wasn’t necessary; they just needed to seize the Core Talent Fruit.

“Charge!” a Pinnacle True Ancestor called out.

There was no time to waste. Waiting around would yield nothing. They had to charge in, clash with the forbidden bloodline creatures, break through the blockade, and reach the Natal Talent Tree to harvest the fruit.

Boom! The hundred thousand True Ancestors surged forward, clashing with the three thousand bloodline creatures.

The three strongest forbidden bloodline creatures joined the fray, instantly killing groups of True Ancestors in a single strike.

The forbidden bloodline creatures wielded a trace of Dark Forbidden Power within their bloodline abilities, which, while not as potent as the true Dark Forbidden Power, was terrifying nonetheless.

In a short span, fewer than a hundred forbidden bloodline creatures had fallen, while the True Ancestors’ casualties exceeded three thousand.

At this rate, the True Ancestors would suffer catastrophic losses.

At this moment, one of the Pinnacle True Ancestors went berserk, attempting to break through the blockade and seize the Core Talent Fruit directly.

…

The Xing in Ye Xingchen means “star”, alluding to the fact that he cultivates the way of the Star, aka the Star Dao.
