Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1164: Great Heavenly King!

TL: Etude

Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins held power equal to that of Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, standing as one of the top experts in the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm, but he lagged just a touch behind Palace Master Azure Dragon.

Yet the real advantage stemmed from Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins mastering the Forbidden Dao of Time and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity commanding the Forbidden Dao of Space. United, their might soared beyond a simple addition of their individual forces. The instant Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins entered the fray, the pair swiftly overpowered Palace Master Azure Dragon.

Boom! The forbidden dao arts from Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins hurled Palace Master Azure Dragon backward. His Azure Dragon Sword spun away from his grip, only to be yanked back into his hand moments later.

Blood trickled from Palace Master Azure Dragon’s palm. The wound wasn’t grave, yet it conveyed an unmistakable message.

Against the teamed might of Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, victory eluded him!

Boom!! Palace Master White Tiger and Palace Master Zhenwu arrived, positioning themselves next to Palace Master Azure Dragon to face off against Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity.

“Palace Master Azure Dragon, withdraw the earlier announcement. The Heavenly Emperor Palace cannot gather resources from the great powers, nor issue orders to other factions. If the Heavenly Emperor Palace wants subordinate groups, that’s your own affair. But forces from the Upper Three Heavens won’t be allowed to submit!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity suggested.

Palace Master Azure Dragon nearly exploded with fury, but Palace Master White Tiger cut in, consenting, “Alright!”

Palace Master Azure Dragon shot a fierce glare at Palace Master White Tiger and questioned, “Palace Master White Tiger, why agree? Our Heavenly Emperor Palace’s power means we have no reason to dread Blackwind Mountain!”

Whatever Palace Master White Tiger sent via divine sense remained unknown, but it promptly soothed Palace Master Azure Dragon. Silently, he spun around and departed the time-space turbulence zone alongside Palace Master White Tiger and Palace Master Zhenwu, heading back to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins and Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity also withdrew.

The trio of Half-Step Domain Ancestors from the Limitless Sky Sect, Heavenly Sea Sect, and Myriad Domains Divine Hall left sequentially. The time-space turbulence started calming, poised to normalize shortly.

Onlooker Dao Ancestors pulled back their divine senses, launching hushed conversations among themselves.

Although the Heavenly Emperor Palace unveiled formidable might this round, Blackwind Mountain’s abrupt reveal of two Half-Step Domain Ancestors stunned every faction. Countless now viewed Blackwind Mountain as a supreme force rivaled only by the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

…

Human Race.

Ouyang Jiu’er stood next to Ye Tian.

By now, Ouyang Jiu’er had advanced into the Dao Ancestor realm.

“Jiu’er, the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s prowess doesn’t seem so grand. Blackwind Mountain hiding two Half-Step Domain Ancestors caught me off guard. With that, they could partner with a Ninth Heaven power to challenge the Heavenly Emperor Palace,” Ye Tian muttered.

“Brother Ye, you’re underestimating the Vast Sea Domain’s factions! Baring all their power invites doom. Absent a war of extermination, a force’s true depths stay hidden. Are you sure the Heavenly Emperor Palace possesses just three Half-Step Domain Ancestors?”

“This…” Ye Tian shook his head. He couldn’t be certain.

“Besides, Blackwind Mountain surely boasts over two Half-Step Domain Ancestors,” Ouyang Jiu’er affirmed.

“What? More than two Half-Step Domain Ancestors in Blackwind Mountain?” Ye Tian gasped in astonishment.

Ouyang Jiu’er grinned and remarked, “Recall the three Mountain Lords I told you about earlier?”

“I do!” Ye Tian nodded.

“Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins aren’t among the mountain lords. They served as the original Time King and Space King under the three mighty mountain lords!”

Ouyang Jiu’er clarified, “In those days, the three mountain lords’ identities were profoundly enigmatic. So ancient are they that no chronicles survive. Even my knowledge is limited.

Should they still live, their power would eclipse the Time King and Space King without doubt! What’s more, first-generation Ten Kings aren’t always supreme! Take your master—he couldn’t rival you today. Does greater seniority guarantee superior strength over successors?”

“True enough!” Ye Tian comprehended abruptly.

Following this logic, Blackwind Mountain’s strength proved utterly fearsome!

“Truthfully, the Heavenly Emperor Palace never truly aimed to dominate every major faction this time. They were just testing the waters!” Ouyang Jiu’er surmised.

“Testing? Was Palace Master Azure Dragon pretending then?” Ye Tian furrowed his brow.

“Not pretending exactly, but Palace Master Azure Dragon likely sought to flush out the concealed Half-Step Domain Ancestors. Drawing out five this round fulfills the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s goal!

The Heavenly Emperor Palace conceals substantial strength. They held back fully this time, though their Palace Masters rank as the top fighters. Hidden Half-Step Domain Ancestors probably lurk there too, albeit not as profoundly veiled as Blackwind Mountain’s! The Heavenly Emperor Palace is newer, less ancient than Blackwind Mountain.

Yet with a Domain Ancestor who once lived, the Heavenly Emperor Palace inherited countless trump cards. Certain ones might slay a Half-Step Domain Ancestor instantly!” Ouyang Jiu’er detailed.

Hearing her analysis, Ye Tian marveled inwardly at the Divine Heaven Domain’s powers. Each appeared immensely potent, unlike the straightforward factions of the Dao Mountain Domain that hid scant reserves.

That day.

Ye Tian reached the Wind King Small Domain.

He visited to encounter the Wind King and officially claim his role as Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly King. After all, as a Dao Ancestor, lingering as a Heavenly General no longer suited him.

Naturally, a Heavenly General’s status already outstripped a standard Heavenly King’s. Thus, Ye Tian’s promotion to Heavenly King elevated him to Great Heavenly King, superior to regular Heavenly Kings and answerable only to the Ten Kings.

“Wind King!”

Ye Tian faced the Wind King’s authentic form. Differing from prior encounters, a mask now shrouded the Wind King’s features, hiding his real visage. Evidently, the countenance shown before was illusory, not genuine. Otherwise, the mask would be unnecessary now.

“Heavenly General Nine Limits, you’ve arrived. No—now it’s Heavenly King Nine Limits!” The Wind King declared.

At once, the Wind King produced a Heavenly King Token, jet-black and infused with forbidden rules—a scarce Great Heavenly King Token of Blackwind Mountain.

The Wind King presented the Great Heavenly King Token to Ye Tian, confirming his status as Blackwind Mountain’s Great Heavenly King.

Following this, Blackwind Mountain hosted a lavish banquet honoring Ye Tian’s rise to Great Heavenly King. Attendees included many Heavenly Kings plus the Wind King, Fire King, Gold King, Wood King, Ice King, and Time King.

Still, the supreme Invincible Dao Ancestors and Half-Step Domain Ancestors stayed absent.

This made perfect sense. Requiring their attendance at every minor Great Heavenly King’s feast would drown them in petty duties. Had the Heavenly Emperor Palace not provoked matters lately, compelling Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins to emerge, even Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly Kings wouldn’t grasp their domain’s full might!

Once the feast ended, Ye Tian stepped into Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly King Library.

This visit aimed to choose certain Grand Thousand Dao Techniques for advancing his Saber Dao!
