Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1146: The Fire King’s Greedy Desire

TL: Etude

The Cangshan True Nation.

This was a minor true nation, thinly inhabited by mostly native beings. The ruling authority originated from the Fourth Heaven Force known as the Cangshan Sect.

The Cangshan Sect had claimed a desolate region within the Profound Void Ancient Realm, founding this true nation to expand its reach. Though it faced difficulties in attracting genuine prodigies, it sustained itself reasonably well in this modest territory.

Yet on this day, both the Cangshan Sect and the Cangshan True Nation faced their end.

Boom! Void space suddenly tore apart, revealing a massive Forbidden Treasure Land that appeared to form from nothing. It crashed down without warning, demolishing the Cangshan True Nation beneath it and enveloping the whole area in a single motion.

The collision fragmented the Cangshan True Nation, with innumerable lives engulfed by the Dark Forbidden Power, vanishing in a flash.

The Dao Ancestors of the Cangshan Sect were forced to rouse and step forth, but prior to gaining any advantages from this Forbidden Treasure Land, a horde of True Ancestors surged in, instantly battling Cangshan’s Dao Ancestors.

These freshly awakened Dao Ancestors couldn’t deploy their full might. Moreover, the most powerful Dao Ancestor in the Cangshan Sect was only a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor. Consequently, they were rapidly eliminated by the overwhelming number of True Ancestors.

In reality, the downfall of the Cangshan Sect arose from pure avarice. If they hadn’t attempted to plunder resources from this vast Forbidden Treasure Land, they could have endured.

Reports of this immense Forbidden Treasure Land rapidly circulated throughout the Profound Void Ancient Realm, alerting myriad factions that then hurried there at maximum velocity.

…

Heavenly Sea Sect.

Upon learning the intelligence, True Ancestor Hebo felt elated. After informing the Dao Ancestors, he commanded a group of True Ancestors toward the Forbidden Treasure Land.

The Limitless Sky Sect, the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, the Heavenly Sword Sect, Vajra City, Heavenly Saber Sect… Successively, forces from the Upper Three Heavens headed to the colossal Forbidden Treasure Land.

This Forbidden Treasure Land consisted of a realm of molten rock and earned the title Fireflame Forbidden Zone!

…

Blackwind Mountain.

Ye Tian, serving as a General at Nine Limits, guided General Bloodfiend, General Skyreaver, General Windstar, along with various Peak Lords, down into the Fireflame Forbidden Zone. Certain Generals even transported their full legions.

Ye Tian refrained from halting them.

Even should he urge restraint, these Generals and Peak Lords might ignore his counsel. Furthermore, if an individual chanced upon a extraordinary fortune, his caution would have spoiled that prospect?

Thus, he chose not to meddle; whoever wished to proceed could do so freely.

…

Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

Ye Tian and numerous True Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain reached this place and promptly ventured inside.

The Fireflame Forbidden Zone brimmed with molten rock, while the atmosphere hung heavy with ferocious Dark Forbidden Power, far more chaotic than the milder dark energies in other Forbidden Zones.

Individuals lacking adequate prowess would probably perish right upon entering.

Suddenly—

Boom! A colossal magma beast, reaching the height of a lofty peak, rose from the molten rock, lashing out with a huge limb at the True Ancestors.

“Die!”

General Bloodfiend lunged forward, impaling the magma beast with his spear and slaying it on the spot.

Even in defeat, the beast wasn’t feeble. It derived from a forbidden-bloodline species, possessing might equivalent to a superior True Ancestor.

Employing his Copy Talent, Ye Tian examined the surroundings and uncovered many magma beasts concealed in the molten expanses. Almost each one wielded top-tier True Ancestor battle strength. Should a solitary True Ancestor face a surprise attack, these beasts, benefiting from their native terrain, would present a grave peril. If encircled, fatality loomed as a genuine possibility.

“Let’s split up!” Ye Tian declared.

In a Forbidden Treasure Land like this, traveling together ensured protection but muddled the sharing of spoils. During pivotal instances, equitable splitting of prizes lacked time. Hence, exploring independently proved the optimal approach.

Naturally, every True Ancestor from Blackwind Mountain preserved their communication channels.

Should peril arise, they’d offer support if feasible. Otherwise, no alternatives existed.

Ye Tian departed alone to hunt for forbidden wondrous objects.

Expansive Forbidden Treasure Lands invariably harbored an abundance of forbidden wondrous objects, boasting no fewer than a dozen Forbidden Supreme Treasures. Securing just one would yield tremendous gains.

Nevertheless, discovering a Forbidden Supreme Treasure and having it noticed also signified drawing enmity from rivals.

This gigantic Forbidden Treasure Land spanned enormously—from an external view akin to a minor true nation, and internally matching a major true nation, scarcely less than the True Nation of Void Sky. A domain of such immensity could only suggest the inconceivable riches and valuables concealed inside. The worth of this site surpassed the boldest fantasies of any Upper Three Heavens power.

One item, two items, three items… Over the course of several days, Ye Tian had already gathered more than thirty forbidden wondrous objects, as if they proliferated unusually in this place. He even unearthed a few superior-grade forbidden wondrous objects.

And Ye Tian wasn’t the only one reaping bounties; fellow True Ancestors amassed substantial forbidden wondrous objects too. It became evident how plentiful these valuables were here.

All True Ancestors had descended into frenzy. Virtually every top-tier and superior True Ancestor in the Profound Void Ancient Realm converged upon this spot.

Throughout the Fireflame Forbidden Zone, conflicts erupted ceaselessly.

Myriad True Ancestors clashed and slew one another to claim forbidden wondrous objects. After all, dispatching one True Ancestor could net several forbidden wondrous objects, or even more.

Pinnacle True Ancestors massacred top-tier True Ancestors, Invincible True Ancestors pursued Pinnacle True Ancestors, and occasionally several Invincible True Ancestors united against one adversary. Turmoil dominated.

Ye Tian recognized this marked merely the onset. By the sixth day, the initial Forbidden Supreme Treasure surfaced at last.

In a volcanic molten zone inside the Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

Three Pinnacle True Ancestors spotted a black-and-red fire lotus in this location. Forbidden rules twisted around it, and intense forbidden origin qi radiated from it, reshaping the vicinity into a prime cultivation haven.

Forbidden origin qi signified a Forbidden Supreme Treasure. Thus, this fire lotus qualified as one, encapsulating the forbidden origin of fire—a vital boon for any Dao Ancestor treading the fire path.

No matter its exact utility, a lone Forbidden Supreme Treasure sufficed to incite utter delirium.

Consequently, the three Pinnacle True Ancestors launched into a brutal contest, each resolved to capture the prize.

Shortly, tidings of this spread to the rest.

Before long, True Ancestors from every corner of the Fireflame Forbidden Zone rushed to the spot.

…

Outside the Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

Dao Ancestors started manifesting one after another, no longer able to hold back.

Among them appeared not just Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors, but also numerous Seventh Heaven and even some Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestors.

Boom! The Dao Ancestors alighted beyond the Fireflame Forbidden Zone. Numerous sensed that the suppressive rules of the Profound Void Ancient Realm had eased considerably. While they remained unable to exert their complete power, they could at minimum linger in the Fireflame Forbidden Zone for prolonged durations without severe potency decline.

Previously, should a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor appear, their vigor would plummet sharply unless they reverted to dormancy within hours. Presently, they could endure a full year without enduring substantial strength erosion.

Countless Dao Ancestors felt exhilarated.

Certain lesser Dao Ancestors steered clear of vying for Forbidden Supreme Treasures, since such artifacts lured solely Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Rather, they targeted alternative valuables.

For instance, high-grade forbidden wondrous objects and top-tier forbidden wondrous objects, each brimming with enormous worth.

Upon crossing paths with True Ancestors from rival groups, Dao Ancestors attacked without uttering a word.

As such, numerous frailer True Ancestors suffered tragic ends, waylaid repeatedly by Dao Ancestors.

Admittedly, some Dao Ancestors fell to True Ancestors, albeit infrequently.

Birthplace of the Forbidden Fire Lotus.

The three Pinnacle True Ancestors hadn’t concluded their skirmish when a surge of Invincible True Ancestors descended, promptly exterminating the three Pinnacle True Ancestors.

Yet prior to these Invincible True Ancestors securing the Forbidden Fire Lotus, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors appeared.

The Invincible True Ancestors hastily retreated, loath to entangle themselves. In truth, any single Pinnacle Dao Ancestor could effortlessly dispatch them.

Evidently, these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors served as the seniors of the Invincible True Ancestors’ sects, and pursuing the Forbidden Supreme Treasure, they spared the observing Invincible True Ancestors any assault.

Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from Heavenly Sea Sect, Limitless Sky Sect, Myriad Domains Divine Hall, and Blackwind Mountain had all converged.

Blackwind Mountain’s Fire King gazed at the Forbidden Fire Lotus with blatant covetousness.

“Wind King, you have to help me. This Forbidden Fire Lotus would be a great boon to me. I have this feeling it could help me advance to the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm!” Fire King said.

“Of course I’ll help you, but don’t get your hopes up too high. If reaching the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm were so easy, I would’ve advanced already!” Wind King replied.

“Still… this is a chance I have to fight for!” Fire King said through clenched teeth.

His talent, strength, and luck all fell short of Wind King’s.

If he missed this chance, he didn’t know if he’d ever again have the hope of advancing to Invincible Dao Ancestor.

Thus, to seize this Forbidden Fire Lotus, he would stop at nothing, even if it meant using forbidden techniques!
