Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1166: The Arrival of an Imperial Son!
Previously on Your Talent is Mine...
TL: Etude
Outside the domain of the Human Race, a group showed up.
The group featured Dao Ancestors accompanying a youth in golden armor—the youth counted as one of the Ten Imperial Sons from the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
An Imperial Son's status carried tremendous prestige. Their potential, talent, and power placed them in the top ten among geniuses in the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s elite ranks. Plus, they needed to stay young; without that, they couldn't claim the title of Imperial Son.
On top of that, should others surpass an Imperial Son, the title could get revoked.
Because of this, Imperial Sons of the Heavenly Emperor Palace used every method to boost their power and spread their fame.
Imperial Son Fengyang led the way out of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, battling True Ancestors from all sorts of powers and carving out his name in the Profound Void Archaic Realm. Conquering disciples from endless factions would earn him huge rewards upon returning to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
“Imperial Son Fengyang, the Human Race holds no standout powerful True Ancestors. The mighty Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws shone as a Supreme True Ancestor back then, but he's a Dao Ancestor now. Beyond the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, the Human Race's talents seem far too feeble!” noted one accompanying Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor.
This Dao Ancestor protected Imperial Son Fengyang and bore the name Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud. As a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor with scant growth left, he led Fengyang’s escort squad.
“Thunder Cloud, it's exactly the Human Race's shortage of strong True Ancestors that drives me to challenge them. Sweeping the Human Race's True Ancestors would surely enrage the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws. I relish watching such geniuses seethe!” Imperial Son Fengyang declared coldly.
Still, jealousy tinged his words.
That's right, he envied—envied Ye Tian.
How come Ye Tian joined the Supreme True Ancestors while he couldn't?
Fengyang sat at the peak of Invincible True Ancestors, his strength barely advancing further. Two paths awaited: step into Dao Ancestor realm or fight on toward Supreme True Ancestor.
Yet he rejected settling! So he launched this trip to duel genius True Ancestors from major sects—not merely to lock in his spot but to spark breakthroughs via battle, yearning to claim Supreme True Ancestor status.
Though nearly impossible with faint odds, he'd chase it while hope flickered.
Shortly after, Imperial Son Fengyang reached Human Race territory.
Human Race True Ancestors knew Fengyang's fame and Heavenly Emperor Palace roots, dispatching many to receive him.
Within the Human Race's sacred hall.
Plenty of Human Race True Ancestors plus some Dao Ancestors convened. Weaker Dao Ancestors at First or Second Heaven didn't always surpass Pinnacle True Ancestors in rank.
Human Race's prime geniuses stuck mainly to True Ancestor level, piling up strength and delaying Dao Ancestor breakthroughs.
Handling Imperial Son Fengyang's welcome fell to Dao Ancestor Qin Tian. He'd been the Human Race's top genius once. Fortunes lifted him to peak True Ancestor tier. But disaster trapped him in a forbidden zone, severing outside links. He forced Dao Ancestor advancement to bust the barriers and escape.
Today, he ranked as the Human Race's top Dao Ancestor behind Ye Tian—a superior Second Heaven Dao Ancestor, on the verge of Third Heaven.
“Dao Ancestor Qin Tian, traveling through Human Race lands this time, I seek spars with your talents. Does that work?” Imperial Son Fengyang questioned.
“This…” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian paused.
“Is the Human Race rejecting my wish?” Imperial Son Fengyang acted indignant.
“No way!” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian rushed to say. “Human Race True Ancestors can't match Imperial Son Fengyang. Those bouts would hold no value!”
“Try this: I'll curb my cultivation and power to clash with your Human Race geniuses. Should any graze me at all, I'll award that True Ancestor a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance. Thoughts?” Imperial Son Fengyang proposed steadily.
“What? A Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance?!”
True Ancestors buzzed, and Dao Ancestor Qin Tian felt intense lure too.
A Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance's worth was immense—a supreme rarity for the Human Race! Ye Tian's many Middle Thousand and Grand Thousand Dao Techniques stemmed from Blackwind Mountain, yet sharing them was banned.
Through vast eras, Ye Tian felled countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors, but their Dao Techniques were rare. Any they had were just Lower Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances.
Consequently, the Human Race Divine Hall's stores brimmed with Lower Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances, while Middle Thousand ones totaled scarcely more than a dozen.
Plus, deploying a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance reduced the count unless cultivated to major accomplishment or better for duplication.
Ye Tian's seized Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritances lay unprocessed and uncultivated, blocking copies. Human Race elites shunned bothering him for it.
So within the Human Race, snagging a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance demanded epic merits, making it almost unreachable absent massive deeds.
Dao Ancestor Qin Tian had earned only one so far, hungering for others.
“Such a frail, destitute Human Race,” Imperial Son Fengyang scoffed inwardly. “Just dangling a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance has them grinning with avarice.”
Certainly, a Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance shone precious. Yet Imperial Son Fengyang planned no real giveaway. The offer baited Human Race True Ancestors to fight him. He brimmed with certainty that none could touch him.
In his view, the Human Race stood no chance at claiming his Middle Thousand Dao Technique Inheritance.
“Fine, the Human Race agrees!” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian affirmed.
Before long.
Genius True Ancestors streamed in from every Human Race corner. Each qualified as top-tier True Ancestor, creating an unprecedented rally undreamt before.
Back then, even powerhouse Void Sky True Nation scraped few top-tier True Ancestors; now dozens convened smoothly.
Outside the Divine Hall, on the battle platform.
Imperial Son Fengyang beckoned Human geniuses onstage sequentially. Hands folded back, unleashing mere slivers of might, he routed every top-tier True Ancestor.
Boom! One more top-tier True Ancestor took severe damage from Imperial Son Fengyang's lone finger, shoved off the platform.
“Human Race lacks Pinnacle True Ancestors? Your Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws once reigned as Supreme True Ancestor. With your faction's might, surely Pinnacle True Ancestors abound—or do they not?” Imperial Son Fengyang jeered.
Dao Ancestor Qin Tian seethed visibly. He'd pierced Imperial Son Fengyang's ploy—a blatant taunt at the Human Race.
Human Race boasted Pinnacle True Ancestors, even Invincible ones.
Take Xiao Yue, spouse of the Ten Thousand Laws True Ancestor, and Ye Yu, his sibling—both Invincible True Ancestors. Still, compelling their fight proved impossible, and Qin Tian held no sway over Ten Thousand Laws True Ancestor's relatives.
Further, Nine Limits Legion sheltered Pinnacle True Ancestors, long hidden in Nine Limits Space for training.
Apart from them, Human Race fielded another Pinnacle True Ancestor batch: Divine Hall Guardians, Divine Hall subordinates. Ye Tian raised them personally to shield the Human Race Divine Hall's innermost zones.
Usually, they immersed in cultivation, surfacing solely for dire duties.
“Bring out the Divine Hall Guardians!” Dao Ancestor Qin Tian directed.
Human Race stomached defeats, but humiliation? Never.
