Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 1166: The Arrival of an Imperial Son!

TL: Etude

Beyond the Human Race’s domain, a group arrived.

This group consisted of Dao Ancestors escorting a young man clad in golden armor—the young man was one of the Ten Imperial Sons of the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

The status of an Imperial Son was exceptionally prestigious. Their potential, talent, and strength ranked among the top ten geniuses in the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s elite barracks. Furthermore, they had to be young; otherwise, they wouldn’t qualify as an Imperial Son.

Moreover, if an Imperial Son were overtaken by others, their title could be stripped away.

For this reason, the Imperial Sons of the Heavenly Emperor Palace sought every means to enhance their strength and establish their renown.

Imperial Son Fengyang was the first to step out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, challenging the True Ancestors of various forces and making a name for himself in the Profound Void Archaic Realm. If he could defeat the disciples of countless factions, his return to the Heavenly Emperor Palace would surely bring him immense rewards.

“Imperial Son Fengyang, the Human Race has no particularly powerful True Ancestors. The mighty Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws was indeed formidable as a Supreme True Ancestor, but he is now a Dao Ancestor. Other than the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, the talents among the Human Race are far too weak!” one of the accompanying Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestors remarked.

This Dao Ancestor, a guardian of Imperial Son Fengyang, was Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud. Though a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor, he had little potential remaining and was assigned as the captain of Fengyang’s escort team.

“Thunder Cloud, it is precisely because the Human Race lacks formidable True Ancestors that I must challenge them. If I were to sweep through the True Ancestors of the Human Race, wouldn’t the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws be furious? I do enjoy seeing such prodigies enraged!” Imperial Son Fengyang said coldly.However, his tone carried a trace of jealousy.

Indeed, he was jealous—jealous of Ye Tian.

Why was Ye Tian able to step into the ranks of Supreme True Ancestors, while he could not?

Fengyang had already reached the peak of Invincible True Ancestors, and his strength could scarcely improve further. Before him lay two choices: to either break into the Dao Ancestor stage or to continue striving for Supreme True Ancestor.

But he was unwilling to accept this! Thus, he embarked on this journey to challenge the prodigious True Ancestors of the major sects—not only to solidify his position but also to seek enlightenment through combat, hoping to break through into the ranks of Supreme True Ancestors.

Though this step was exceptionally difficult, with almost no hope, he was determined to try as long as a glimmer of hope remained.

Before long, Imperial Son Fengyang arrived among the Human Race.

The True Ancestors of the Human Race had, of course, heard of Fengyang’s reputation and knew he hailed from the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Thus, they sent many to greet him.

At the sacred hall of the Human Race.

Many of the Human Race’s True Ancestors and even some Dao Ancestors gathered. Some of the weaker Dao Ancestors, only at the First or Second Heaven levels, didn’t necessarily have higher status than Pinnacle True Ancestors.

The real geniuses of the Human Race primarily remained among the ranks of True Ancestors, constantly accumulating strength and reluctant to break into the Dao Ancestor stage.

At this moment, the Dao Ancestor tasked with receiving Imperial Son Fengyang was Dao Ancestor Qin Tian. He had once been the most outstanding genius of the Human Race. Fortuitous encounters had later elevated him to a top-tier True Ancestor. However, due to an accident, he was trapped in a forbidden area and unable to contact the outside world. Forced to break through into the Dao Ancestor stage, he had only managed to escape by shattering the restrictions.

Currently, he was the strongest Dao Ancestor among the Human Race, second only to Ye Tian—a top-tier Second Heaven Dao Ancestor, close to breaking through into the ranks of Third Heaven Dao Ancestors.

“Dao Ancestor Qin Tian, I passed through the territory of the Human Race this time and wish to spar with its talents. Is that acceptable?” Imperial Son Fengyang asked.

“This…” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian hesitated.

“Could it be that the Human Race is unwilling to comply with my request?” Imperial Son Fengyang feigned anger.

“Of course not!” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian hurriedly explained. “Our Human Race’s True Ancestors are no match for Imperial Son Fengyang. Such a competition would be meaningless!”

“How about this? I will suppress my cultivation and strength to compete against the geniuses of your Human Race. If any of them can injure me in the slightest, I will bestow upon that True Ancestor a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance. What do you say?” Imperial Son Fengyang spoke calmly.

“What? A Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance?!”

Not only were the True Ancestors stirred, but even Dao Ancestor Qin Tian was deeply tempted.

How precious was a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance? It was an incredibly rare treasure among the Human Race! The fact that Ye Tian could cultivate numerous Middle Thousand Dao Techniques and even Grand Thousand Dao Techniques was because of Blackwind Mountain. However, those Dao Technique inheritances were strictly prohibited from being passed to others.

Over the long ages, although Ye Tian had slain many True Ancestors and even Dao Ancestors, the Dao Techniques possessed by those slain were nearly nonexistent. Even when they did possess some, it was limited to Lower Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances.

As a result, the inheritance vault of the Human Race’s Divine Hall had accumulated numerous Lower Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances, but Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances were exceedingly rare—barely over a dozen in total.

Moreover, using a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance meant one less in existence, as it could only be replicated if someone cultivated the technique to the level of major accomplishment or higher.

The Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances that Ye Tian had seized remained unrefined and uncultivated by him, meaning he could not produce further inheritances. The strong figures of the Human Race did not dare to trouble Ye Tian by asking him to do so.

Thus, among the Human Race, obtaining a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance required unparalleled merit, making it nearly impossible to acquire without monumental contributions.

Even Dao Ancestor Qin Tian himself had only been granted a single Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance thus far, and he deeply desired more of them.

“Truly a weak and impoverished Human Race,” Imperial Son Fengyang inwardly mocked, “Just the mention of a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance has them showing such greedy and eager expressions.”

Of course, a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance was indeed highly valuable. However, Imperial Son Fengyang had no intention of actually bestowing one. His proposal was merely a ploy to incite the Human Race’s True Ancestors into sparring with him. He was utterly confident that these True Ancestors would never be able to harm him.

In his mind, the Human Race had no chance of obtaining his Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance.

“Very well, we of the Human Race accept!” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian agreed.

Before long.

Genius True Ancestors from all corners of the Human Race’s territory rushed to the scene. Every arriving genius was at the level of a top-tier True Ancestor, an astonishing gathering that would have been unthinkable in the past.

Once, even the mighty Void Sky True Nation could only muster a few top-tier True Ancestors, but now, dozens of them had assembled effortlessly.

Outside the Divine Hall, atop the battle platform.

Imperial Son Fengyang invited the Human geniuses onto the platform one by one. With his hands behind his back and only a fraction of his power displayed, he easily defeated each top-tier True Ancestor.

Boom! Another top-tier True Ancestor was gravely injured by a single finger from Imperial Son Fengyang and forced to retreat from the platform.

“Does the Human Race have no Pinnacle True Ancestors? Your Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws was once a Supreme True Ancestor. The Human Race is a powerful faction—surely you don’t lack even a Pinnacle True Ancestor, do you?” Imperial Son Fengyang sneered.

Dao Ancestor Qin Tian was visibly agitated. He had seen through Imperial Son Fengyang’s intentions—it was a deliberate provocation against the Human Race.

The Human Race was not devoid of Pinnacle True Ancestors, nor even Invincible True Ancestors.

For instance, the wife of the Ten Thousand Laws True Ancestor, Xiao Yue, and his sister, Ye Yu, were both Invincible True Ancestors. However, asking them to take action was impossible, and neither did Qin Tian have the authority to summon the Ten Thousand Laws True Ancestor’s family members.

Moreover, the Nine Limits Legion also had Pinnacle True Ancestors, but they were long secluded within the Nine Limits Space for cultivation.

Aside from these, the Human Race had one other group of Pinnacle True Ancestors: the Divine Hall Guardians, who were under the jurisdiction of the Divine Hall. These individuals had been personally nurtured by Ye Tian and were tasked with protecting the deepest parts of the Human Race’s Divine Hall.

Typically, they focused solely on cultivation and only emerged for critical missions.

“Summon the Divine Hall Guardians!” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian ordered.

The Human Race could endure defeat, but it absolutely could not tolerate being humiliated.
