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

TL: Etude

'What's happening? The True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws has gained control over the Dark Forbidden Power, and now his descendants have too? This seems way too convenient. Is it possible he holds a special artifact that bestows the Dark Forbidden Power upon others?' Sword Sovereign Golden Light pondered while gazing at Ye Tian.

Yet, even if his speculation hit the mark, it wouldn't alter the outcome—he simply couldn't stand against Ye Tian. Even a group of dozens of Invincible True Ancestors would fail to oppose him.

A Supreme True Ancestor's fighting ability was not just intimidating but also sustained, supported by endless origin force. This enabled ongoing surges of combat prowess and the frequent use of forbidden methods without depleting his energy.

In contrast, the Invincible True Ancestors lacked the capacity for such endurance. Should any attempt close-quarters fighting with Ye Tian, they would get cut down sequentially.

Therefore, none of the Invincible True Ancestors dared to consider confronting Ye Tian.

Right then, Ye Xingchen and Sword Sovereign Flashing Light kept up their intense clash.

Although the pair were both Pinnacle True Ancestors, Ye Xingchen had a Forbidden Body, making his base far superior to Sword Sovereign Flashing Light's. This particular Sword Sovereign Flashing Light was basically a lesser Pinnacle True Ancestor; following several peaks of Pinnacle True Ancestor-grade assaults, he started to weaken.

Furthermore, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light's protective capabilities fell short of a typical Pinnacle True Ancestor's; solely his attacking force reached that standard. To be precise, he ranked as the most feeble kind of Pinnacle True Ancestor.

In usual circumstances, a duel between two Pinnacle True Ancestors would drag on for quite a while before ending in death. Yet, Ye Xingchen's Forbidden Power kept wounding Sword Sovereign Flashing Light over and over, and with his healing speed being so sluggish, the damages kept accumulating rapidly.

Besides, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light's power had been boosted through artificial means, which restricted his techniques. He failed to escape Ye Xingchen's unyielding barrage and suffered hit after hit.

As the wounds grew worse, the drawbacks from his compelled enhancement emerged, causing his vitality to drain quickly, his whole form crumbling at a shocking pace.

For any True Ancestor, such a scenario was unthinkable, but it was unfolding right before their eyes with Sword Sovereign Flashing Light.

Witnessing this, Sword Sovereign Golden Light flew into a rage.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had succeeded in raising just this single Pinnacle True Ancestor—not due to lack of desire for more, but because so few agreed, and the price was immense. Without such high costs, every group could assemble a legion of Pinnacle True Ancestors. Even those with brief lifespans among them could unleash horrifying might in fights, sufficient to tip the scales between rival powers.

In truth, even with boundless supplies, the Heavenly Sword Sect managed to create merely a handful of Pinnacle True Ancestors, and the investment hardly paid off.

They had long assumed that developing one Pinnacle True Ancestor would be enough.

No one anticipated that before they could step into the Forbidden Treasure Lands, one would already perish during the selection process.

At present, Sword Sovereign Golden Light could merely wish for the picking of the hundred thousand True Ancestors to wrap up quickly. That would prevent Ye Xingchen from finishing off Sword Sovereign Flashing Light.

However, upon scanning the area, he noticed a million True Ancestors still lingered in this realm, suggesting the selection would stretch on for a considerable duration.

Moments ticked by, and Sword Sovereign Flashing Light started to sink into hopelessness. His harms were excessively grave; he could barely persist much further.

Still, he had a final shot—his ultimate gamble.

'The Heavenly Sword Sect provided me with a mid-level forbidden wondrous item that can release a forbidden attack. If timed right, it could gravely injure or perhaps eliminate Ye Xingchen!' Sword Sovereign Flashing Light mused inwardly.

Before long, the ideal instant arrived! While Ye Xingchen's spear thrust into him, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light triggered the forbidden wondrous item.

A forbidden item resembling a leaf launched from his grasp, turning into a ray of light that struck Ye Xingchen in a flash.

The blow was astonishingly swift and targeted Ye Xingchen precisely, rendering it almost impossible for a Pinnacle True Ancestor to evade.

Nevertheless—

A forbidden wondrous item on Ye Xingchen morphed automatically into forbidden armor, shielding him right away. Though Sword Sovereign Flashing Light's forbidden attack breached the armor, the leftover impact was slight and got readily repelled by Ye Xingchen's Forbidden Body.

Upon seeing this, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light plummeted into total devastation.

'Naturally… As the blood son of the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, how could he lack a protective forbidden wondrous item?' Sword Sovereign Flashing Light chided himself in bitter sarcasm.

All of a sudden—

Ye Xingchen's Star Dao technique exploded his form. Forbidden spears impaled his shattered pieces, erasing every final spark of life from him.

And thus, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light met his complete end.

He turned into the sole Pinnacle True Ancestor lost in this selection!

Elsewhere, Ye Xingyue released her Pinnacle True Ancestral Force, cutting down everyone in her way—no one had the nerve to challenge her.

Not much later, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue reunited, teaming up to crush all foes with almost no opposition.

Time flowed on, until True Ancestor Hebo's voice echoed.

'The selection for one hundred thousand True Ancestors has ended. All True Ancestors, stop the battles!' True Ancestor Hebo ordered.

Whoosh! True Ancestors emerged one after another from the world. Some bore heavy wounds, others seemed relaxed, and a few more pulsed with battle fervor, their forms covered in blood…

Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue soared to Ye Tian's location, calling out, 'Father!'

'Excellent work, you haven't let me down!' Ye Tian acknowledged with approval.

Now that the one hundred thousand True Ancestors were selected, certain ones required recovery periods because of their dire injuries. Still, they couldn't afford lengthy delays.

After all, numerous True Ancestors had employed forbidden techniques to speed their progress, which cut their lifespans short. If excessive time elapsed, their fighting ability would grow unstable.

Hence, within a year's span, all would need to venture into the Forbidden Treasure Lands.

A year flew by rapidly, and the True Ancestors remained in Myriad Ancestors City, biding their time quietly.

In an instant, the year elapsed.

On that occasion, the one hundred thousand True Ancestors headed toward the Forbidden Treasure Lands, where every checkpoint unlocked, removing their seals.

The Forbidden Treasure Lands covered a woodland continent in the Vajra True Nation, and the whole forest radiated forbidden power vibes. The trees inside weren't commonplace; shaped by the forbidden power, they held exceptional worth. Certain trees could even serve in crafting arms, carrying a touch of forbidden traits. Boom! The united might of one hundred thousand True Ancestors broke the forest's shield, allowing entry into the Forbidden Forest.

Shortly after, they faced the initial batch of forbidden bloodline creatures.

The massacre commenced! With their vast numbers, the True Ancestors overpowered the forbidden bloodline creatures effortlessly, felling them one by one.

For Ye Xingchen, this marked his initial brush with forbidden bloodline creatures, yet he understood their worth. He devoted his utmost effort to slaying each one and sealing them away in his inner world.

Naturally, he never lost sight of his main goal there—the Natal Talent Tree! Whoosh! The True Ancestors rushed swiftly to the Natal Talent Tree, which towered hugely over the surrounding massive trees, its forbidden aura spreading across the entire treasure area, simplifying its discovery.

In no time, the True Ancestors approached the Natal Talent Tree.

Around the tree sprawled many forbidden bloodline creatures, including three exceptionally mighty ones whose presences almost matched Invincible True Ancestors, standing at the peak among Pinnacle True Ancestors.

In one-on-one fights, no present True Ancestor could compete with them, though their strength came from sheer quantity.

'A horde of forbidden bloodline creatures… plus three at Pinnacle True Ancestor level!' Ye Xingchen scowled.

This promised a tough fight. Despite their numerical edge with a complete hundred thousand True Ancestors, their collective caliber wasn't impressive, whereas the forbidden bloodline creatures boasted resilience and strong battle prowess. Most equated to superior Pinnacle True Ancestors, with plenty equaling elite True Ancestors.

Of course, eliminating every forbidden bloodline creature wasn't required; they only had to claim the Core Talent Fruit.

'Attack!' a Pinnacle True Ancestor shouted.

There was no room for delay. Lingering idly brought no gains. They needed to advance, engage the forbidden bloodline creatures, pierce the barrier, and access the Natal Talent Tree to gather the fruit.

Boom! The hundred thousand True Ancestors charged ahead, colliding with the three thousand bloodline creatures.

The three mightiest forbidden bloodline creatures leaped into action, wiping out clusters of True Ancestors with each blow.

The forbidden bloodline creatures harnessed a strand of Dark Forbidden Power in their bloodline skills, which, though not matching the authentic Dark Forbidden Power, remained dreadfully potent.

Within a brief period, under a hundred forbidden bloodline creatures had been defeated, whereas True Ancestor losses surpassed three thousand.

Continuing like this, the True Ancestors faced devastating tolls.

Right then, one Pinnacle True Ancestor raged wildly, striving to smash the barrier and grab the Core Talent Fruit outright.

…

The Xing in Ye Xingchen signifies 'star', hinting at his practice of the Star way, known as the Star Dao.
