Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 1171: The Wind King Appears!

TL: Etude

“No matter what Imperial Son Fengyang has done, even if he was in the wrong, only the Heavenly Emperor Palace has the right to deal with him. You humans have no qualification to discipline someone from our Heavenly Emperor Palace!” Dao Ancestor War Fire spoke coldly.

“And what if we did deal with him? What can you do about it?” Ye Tian showed no fear and retorted directly.

“Then I will take you to the Heavenly Emperor Palace myself and leave you to the Imperial Monarchs to decide your fate!”

Dao Ancestor War Fire acted without hesitation. Using the power of a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, he moved to capture Ye Tian.

Although Ye Tian had once slain a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, that was when the Dao Ancestor had been suppressed by the rules of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, unable to unleash their full strength.

Now, the situation was different. A Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor could fully utilize their power.

Boom!!! A primordial phoenix engulfed in boundless flames surged toward Ye Tian. This was Dao Ancestor War Fire’s famed Grand Thousand Dao Technique—the Primeval Phoenix Art, which mimicked a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor-level primordial chaos phoenix. Its terrifying power could incinerate even the laws of nature.

“Nine-Turn Immortal Gold Body!”

“Primeval Desolate Body!”Ye Tian immediately employed two Grand Thousand Dao Techniques. Together with his major accomplishment-level Forbidden Body, he managed to withstand Dao Ancestor War Fire’s Primeval Phoenix Art head-on.

Boom!!! Ye Tian’s body was forced backward. The Nine-Turn Immortal Gold Body dimmed, and the Primeval Desolate Body was shattered. However, the Forbidden Body at the major accomplishment level mitigated much of the attack. As a result, Ye Tian sustained only minor injuries, enduring the strike by sheer force.

“A major accomplishment-level Forbidden Body!!!” Dao Ancestor War Fire’s expression shifted.

This was a milestone that even many Invincible Dao Ancestors had not achieved, yet Ye Tian had reached it! Moreover, Ye Tian’s Nine-Turn Immortal Gold Body and Primeval Desolate Body—both Grand Thousand Dao Techniques—had already reached the minor accomplishment realm. Such cultivation speed was astonishing.

How long had it been since Ye Tian, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, ascended to the Dao Ancestor realm? Even with a Dao-level core talent focused on defense and the constant aid of forbidden treasures that enhanced comprehension, it shouldn’t have been possible to bring two Grand Thousand Dao Techniques to minor accomplishment in such a short time. This was completely against the norm!

In truth, Ye Tian’s extraordinary comprehension stemmed from his ascension to the Dao Ancestor realm as a Supreme True Ancestor, a feat in itself. Additionally, Ye Tian had replicated numerous Dao-level core talents, many of which pertained to defense. This significantly accelerated his understanding of Grand Thousand Dao Techniques.

Of course, none of this was something Dao Ancestor War Fire could know.

At this moment.

Dao Ancestor War Fire took out a Forbidden Weapon infused with the forbidden rules of fire—the War Fire Saber. From their earlier exchange, it was evident that Ye Tian’s strength had already reached the Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor Realm, and not just any Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor, but one of the top tier. Combined with his major accomplishment-level Forbidden Body, he was a challenge even for most Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors to kill.

Dao Ancestor War Fire, while a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, was not among the top tier. Without using his Forbidden Weapon, capturing Ye Tian was nearly impossible.

Whoosh!! Dao Ancestor War Fire closed in for the kill.

Ye Tian did not hide his own Forbidden Weapon either, drawing the Heaven-Slaying Spear.

Boom!!! The battle erupted as the two clashed. It didn’t take long before Dao Ancestor War Fire noticed faint cracks forming on his War Fire Saber. If not for his power protecting the saber, Ye Tian’s Heaven-Slaying Spear would have shattered it with a single strike.

“Your spear is a middle-grade Forbidden Weapon!”

Dao Ancestor War Fire finally recognized the weapon and was utterly shocked.

Even among the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, not all possessed Forbidden Weapons. Only a select few did, and many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors lacked middle-grade Forbidden Weapons. Even Invincible Dao Ancestors hesitated to forge such a weapon due to the immense resources required.

Yet Ye Tian, having only recently ascended to the Dao Ancestor realm, somehow possessed the means to craft a middle-grade Forbidden Weapon! Moreover, his son, Ye Xingchen, also wielded a Forbidden Weapon! Dao Ancestor War Fire couldn’t help but curse inwardly. Were humans truly this wealthy?

In the heat of the battle, Ye Tian unleashed his full strength. He even deployed his Forbidden Domain and a binding-type Grand Thousand Dao Technique—the Ten-Directions Space-Fixing Technique. However, Dao Ancestor War Fire was too powerful to be restrained and could only be slightly affected.

“Primeval Slashing Technique!”

Ye Tian slashed through the void with the Heaven-Slaying Spear, executing this Grand Thousand Dao Technique. It was a method he had recently developed, enabling a preliminary fusion of Forbidden Weapons with Grand Thousand Dao Techniques, slightly enhancing their power.

Whoosh!! A golden streak of light slashed toward Dao Ancestor War Fire.

However, the Primeval Slashing Technique only left a mark on Dao Ancestor War Fire’s Flame Embers True Armor, another Grand Thousand Dao Technique, failing to inflict any real harm.

Throughout the battle, Ye Tian was completely suppressed. If not for his major accomplishment-level Forbidden Body keeping him alive, he would have already lost.

“My strength is still far behind,” Ye Tian sighed.

There was nothing he could do about it. Strength couldn’t be advanced to higher levels overnight; it required gradual cultivation. For him to survive a clash with a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor without losing outright in such a short period of time was already astonishing.

Suddenly.

A voice rang out.

“War Fire, stand down!”

Hearing the voice, Dao Ancestor War Fire ceased his fight with Ye Tian and stepped back.

Next, a middle-aged man appeared, barefoot, clad in Dao robes, with a blue-gold crown inlaid with gold on his head. His hands were clasped behind his back, his expression mysterious and unreadable, though a cold, chilling aura emanated from him.

“Greetings, Lord Blue Sky!” Dao Ancestor War Fire bowed respectfully.

“Heavenly Emperor Palace’s Dao Ancestor Blue Sky,” Ye Tian frowned.

This was no mere Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor. This was an Eighth Heaven Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, someone comparable to the Ten Kings of Blackwind Mountain.

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, if you’re willing to join our Heavenly Emperor Palace, we can let this matter go. Otherwise, I won’t bother taking you back for punishment—I’ll kill you here and now,” Dao Ancestor Blue Sky threatened coldly.

“I’m sorry,” Ye Tian replied bluntly, “but I will not join the Heavenly Emperor Palace.”

Around them, the many watching Dao Ancestors believed that Ye Tian was in deep trouble. Many felt pity, thinking he would likely fall today.

Some Dao Ancestors even thought joining the Heavenly Emperor Palace wasn’t a bad idea. At least it would provide him a powerful backer!

“In that case, you shall die!”

Dao Ancestor Blue Sky attacked. A blue streak of light shot out in an instant, merciless and unstoppable.

No Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor could block this strike, let alone Ye Tian, who was only at the level of a top-tier Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Ye Tian knew he couldn’t withstand it, yet he showed no trace of panic.

Suddenly.

A figure appeared in front of Ye Tian and effortlessly blocked the attack.

The figure was clad in a black battle robe engraved with forbidden runes. On the chest of the robe was a single character: Wind.

He was none other than the Wind King of Blackwind Mountain.

The Wind King seemed to recognize Dao Ancestor Blue Sky. With a smile, he spoke, “Dao Ancestor Blue Sky, it’s been a long time. Why is it that as soon as you show up, you want to kill one of our Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly Kings?”

Dao Ancestor Blue Sky frowned. “A Blackwind Mountain Heavenly King? Didn’t Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws himself say he wasn’t your Heavenly King Nine Limits? How is he suddenly one now?”

The Wind King mocked, “Even if Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws isn’t Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly King Nine Limits, that doesn’t mean he can’t become a Heavenly King of Blackwind Mountain. You failed to recruit one of Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly Kings and now want to attack instead? Are you perhaps looking for a fight with me? If so, let’s have at it!”

Dao Ancestor Blue Sky’s expression froze. Facing the Wind King in battle? He was no match!
