Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 1167: Ye Xingchen Faces Imperial Son Fengyang!

TL: Etude

Deep within the sacred hall.

Numerous True Ancestors were cultivating diligently. Each one of them was immensely powerful, with some among them even reaching the level of top-tier True Ancestors.

These individuals were the guardians of the Human Race. Their selection was not only based on extraordinary talent and potential but also on impeccable character. Anyone lacking even slightly in moral quality or possessing insufficient resolve was deemed unworthy of this role.

The title of Human Race Guardian was not one that carried public prestige. It seemed an undesirable position at first glance. However, the resources granted to them by the Human Race were abundant, and those who stood out among them were even gifted Forbidden Wondrous Objects.

Suddenly, a True Ancestor arrived and announced, “Guardians, Imperial Son Fengyang from the Heavenly Emperor Palace has come to challenge the Human Race. Currently, we have no Pinnacle True Ancestor to respond. Dao Ancestor Qin Tian requests that one of you step forward to defend the honor of our race!”

“Qin Tian expects us to spar against an Invincible True Ancestor? Are we just here to get beaten up?” A Guardian jested lightly.

“I’ll go. If it’s just to take a beating, we still need to prove that the Human Race has strength. Otherwise, if not even a single Pinnacle True Ancestor steps forward, the outside world will mock us endlessly!” A voice echoed among the Guardians.

The speaker was True Ancestor Anlan, one of the strongest among the Guardians. He had once served as Ye Xingchen’s secret guardian and had recently reached the level of Pinnacle True Ancestor. His strength ranked among the top within the Guardian ranks.

True Ancestor Anlan emerged from his secluded cultivation and stepped outside the sacred hall. …

“So, the Human Race does have a Pinnacle True Ancestor. Come on, then!”

Imperial Son Fengyang sneered upon seeing True Ancestor Anlan, his tone dripping with disdain.

True Ancestor Anlan, aware that his strength was no match for Imperial Son Fengyang, immediately unleashed his most powerful Lower Thousand Dao Technique after stepping onto the battlefield—the Lesser Tiangang Sword!

This was a sword-qi Dao technique.

Slash!

The Lesser Tiangang Sword struck toward Imperial Son Fengyang in an instant, but the Imperial Son caught it effortlessly with one hand.

Boom!

The sword-qi shattered, while Imperial Son Fengyang’s hand remained unscathed, as if a piece of tofu had struck solid stone.

“Too weak.” Imperial Son Fengyang sighed with mock pity.

Then, with a single punch, he severely injured True Ancestor Anlan, sending him flying into the sacred hall’s walls.

Dao Ancestor Qin Tian clenched his fists in fury.

They had agreed to suppress their strength for the sparring match. The principle was clear: if one opponent was a top-tier True Ancestor, the other would suppress themselves to the Pinnacle True Ancestor level. If one was a Pinnacle True Ancestor, the other would suppress to the peak of Pinnacle True Ancestor.

Was this what they called suppression?

But Qin Tian dared not question Imperial Son Fengyang. The Human Race could not afford to offend the Heavenly Emperor Palace, nor could they afford to provoke Imperial Son Fengyang.

Standing behind Fengyang was a group of Dao Ancestors, each with strength above the Third Heaven Dao Ancestor level. The most powerful among them, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud, had reached the Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor level.

Within the Human Race, unless Ye Tian appeared, no one could stand against them.

“Is there anyone else?” Imperial Son Fengyang asked triumphantly.

One by one, the Human Race’s True Ancestor-level geniuses hesitated, unwilling to step forward. After all, to step into the ring meant to get beaten. Who would volunteer for that? As for the so-called Middle Thousand Dao Technique inheritance, it was no more than an illusion, like trying to catch the moon’s reflection in water—visible but unattainable.

Time passed, and still, no one stepped forward.

“It seems the Human Race has no worthy talents. I might as well take my leave.” Imperial Son Fengyang muttered under his breath.

Yet all present were at least True Ancestors or above, and no matter how softly he spoke, everyone heard him clearly.

Anger surged among the Human Race’s powerhouses, yet they could do nothing but endure the humiliation.

At that moment, a voice rang out.

“So, you’re Imperial Son Fengyang? I’ll challenge you!”

As the words fell, a young man tore through the void and descended.

Seeing this person, Dao Ancestor Qin Tian was overjoyed.

“It’s the True Ancestor Xingchen!”

There were only a handful of people who knew the strength of the True Ancestor Xingchen, but Dao Ancestor Qin Tian was among them. This was an Invincible True Ancestor! However, due to the exalted status of the True Ancestor Xingchen, even he dared not invite him directly.

“You are Ye Xingchen, the True Ancestor Xingchen of the Human Race,” Imperial Son Fengyang said, recognizing him.

Previously, Ye Xingchen had roamed the various regions of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, earning some renown. Moreover, during the events in the Forbidden Forest, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue had dazzled the world, demonstrating a strength unparalleled among their generation, surpassing countless True Ancestors.

Although the Heavenly Emperor Palace had not yet emerged during that time, they had still gathered intelligence on the matter.

In his impression, Ye Xingchen had only reached the level of a Pinnacle True Ancestor. Even if his strength had greatly improved, it was unlikely he had ascended to the rank of Invincible True Ancestor.

Furthermore, in Imperial Son Fengyang’s eyes, ordinary Invincible True Ancestors were nothing but weaklings.

Yet, as Ye Xingchen stood before him, he unexpectedly felt a faint sense of pressure.

“How is this possible? I’m an Invincible True Ancestor at the extreme pinnacle of power. Who is Ye Xingchen to make me feel such pressure?”

Imperial Son Fengyang forced himself to remain composed, his expression betraying no emotion, though deep inside, tension began to creep in.

“Let’s take this battle to a higher place. This space is too small,” Ye Xingchen suggested.

“Fine,” Imperial Son Fengyang replied with a nod.

With a flash, Ye Xingchen soared skyward, rising higher and higher until they reached the infinite void of space above.

The vastness of the void spread out endlessly, ensuring that no matter how fierce their battle, the Human Race’s territories would not be affected.

Knowing that Ye Xingchen was an Invincible True Ancestor, Imperial Son Fengyang no longer held back much of his strength. His first move was a Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Great Sun Golden Light Technique!

Boom!!!

A streak of golden light, infused with the shadow of the great sun, slashed toward Ye Xingchen with devastating power. The terrifying might of the technique caused the expressions of the previously present Human geniuses and True Ancestors to change drastically. If they were to face such an attack, they would have been incinerated and obliterated in an instant.

Facing the Middle Thousand Dao Technique of Imperial Son Fengyang, Ye Xingchen deployed his own defensive Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Starday Dao Robe!

This was a renowned Middle Thousand Dao Technique of the starday attribute. Thanks to his Dao-level core talent—Starday Armor, along with numerous treasures that enhanced his enlightenment, Ye Xingchen had cultivated Starday Dao Robe to the pinnacle of the minor accomplishment realm, making it his only Middle Thousand Dao Technique at this level. Most of his other techniques were either at the entry realm or minor accomplishment realm.

The Starday Dao Robe gleamed magnificently, resembling an exquisite garment draped over him.

As the golden light of the Great Sun Golden Light Technique struck the Starday Dao Robe, it dissipated instantly, unable to penetrate Ye Xingchen’s defense.

“A Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Starday Dao Robe—already at the minor accomplishment realm?” Imperial Son Fengyang furrowed his brows.

With such an astonishing defense and a strength that seemingly reached the extreme pinnacle of an Invincible True Ancestor, defeating Ye Xingchen was proving to be a challenging task.

But then, Ye Xingchen unveiled his minor accomplishment realm Forbidden Body, leaving Imperial Son Fengyang utterly stunned. Although it had just reached a refinement level of 40%, it far surpassed ordinary Forbidden Bodies.

The key issue was that Imperial Son Fengyang did not possess a Forbidden Body at all. His True Ancestor-level power merely incorporated a trace of forbidden attributes through a special secret technique. He was far from mastering the Dark Forbidden Power, let alone achieving a Forbidden Body.

At that moment, jealousy erupted in Imperial Son Fengyang’s heart!
