Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1167: Ye Xingchen Faces Imperial Son Fengyang!

TL: Etude

In the depths of the sacred hall.

Countless True Ancestors engaged in intense cultivation. Every one brimmed with vast power, and certain ones had ascended to the ranks of top-tier True Ancestors.

These figures served as the Human Race's protectors. Chosen not just for their exceptional talent and promise but also for their flawless integrity, no one with even a hint of moral flaw or weak determination qualified for this duty.

The role of Human Race Guardian offered no fame or glory. It appeared thankless on the surface. Yet, the Human Race showered them with plentiful resources, and exceptional performers even received Forbidden Wondrous Objects.

All at once, a True Ancestor burst in and declared, “Guardians, Imperial Son Fengyang from the Heavenly Emperor Palace has arrived to challenge the Human Race. We lack a Pinnacle True Ancestor to counter him right now. Dao Ancestor Qin Tian urges one of you to rise and uphold our race's dignity!”

“Qin Tian wants us to fight an Invincible True Ancestor? Are we merely here to be thrashed?” One Guardian quipped with a light chuckle.

“I’ll step up. Even if it means getting pummeled, we must show the Human Race's might. If zero Pinnacle True Ancestors emerge, the world outside will ridicule us without end!” A voice resounded through the Guardians.

True Ancestor Anlan, the voice's owner, stood as one of the mightiest Guardians. He had previously acted as Ye Xingchen’s hidden protector and had lately advanced to Pinnacle True Ancestor. His prowess placed him at the summit among the Guardians.

…

“The Human Race truly possesses a Pinnacle True Ancestor. Bring it on!”

Imperial Son Fengyang sneered at True Ancestor Anlan's arrival, his voice laced with scorn.

Knowing his power fell short against Imperial Son Fengyang, True Ancestor Anlan unleashed his strongest Lower Thousand Dao Technique upon entering the arena—the Lesser Tiangang Sword!

This technique harnessed sword-qi through the Dao.

Slash!

The Lesser Tiangang Sword hurtled toward Imperial Son Fengyang instantly, yet the Imperial Son seized it casually with a single hand.

Boom!

The sword-qi exploded apart, leaving Imperial Son Fengyang’s hand untouched, like soft tofu colliding with unyielding rock.

“Pathetic.” Imperial Son Fengyang sighed feigned sympathy.

Next, a lone punch from him gravely wounded True Ancestor Anlan, hurling him crashing into the sacred hall’s walls.

Dao Ancestor Qin Tian gripped his fists in rage.

They had pledged to limit their power for the duel. The rule stood firm: against a top-tier True Ancestor, suppress to Pinnacle True Ancestor level. Against a Pinnacle True Ancestor, hold at peak Pinnacle True Ancestor.

Was this their idea of restraint?

Still, Qin Tian refrained from challenging Imperial Son Fengyang. Offending the Heavenly Emperor Palace or provoking the Imperial Son lay beyond the Human Race's means.

Trailing Fengyang were several Dao Ancestors, all surpassing Third Heaven Dao Ancestor strength. The mightiest, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud, had climbed to Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Among the Human Race, only Ye Tian's emergence could oppose them.

“Anyone else?” Imperial Son Fengyang demanded victoriously.

Human Race's True Ancestor geniuses wavered one after another, reluctant to advance. Entering the fray equaled a thrashing. Who would choose that? The promised Middle Thousand Dao Technique inheritance seemed a mirage, like grasping at water's moon—enticing yet elusive.

Moments ticked by, yet none volunteered.

“Looks like the Human Race lacks any real prodigies. Time for me to depart.” Imperial Son Fengyang murmured softly.

But everyone there ranked as True Ancestors or higher, catching his whisper crystal clear.

Fury boiled among the Human Race's elites, forced to swallow the insult.

In that instant, a voice boomed.

“So you're Imperial Son Fengyang? I'll take you on!”

With those words, a youth ripped through the void and landed.

Dao Ancestor Qin Tian lit up with joy at the sight.

“True Ancestor Xingchen has arrived!”

Few knew True Ancestor Xingchen's true might, but Dao Ancestor Qin Tian counted among them. An Invincible True Ancestor! Yet, given True Ancestor Xingchen's lofty position, even he hesitated to summon him outright.

“Ye Xingchen, the Human Race's True Ancestor Xingchen,” Imperial Son Fengyang acknowledged.

Ye Xingchen had traversed the Profound Void Ancient Realm's domains earlier, gaining fame. In the Forbidden Forest incident, he and Ye Xingyue shone brilliantly, displaying peerless strength among peers, outstripping myriad True Ancestors.

Though the Heavenly Emperor Palace stayed hidden then, they collected reports.

To him, Ye Xingchen lingered at Pinnacle True Ancestor. Even with massive gains, reaching Invincible True Ancestor seemed improbable.

Besides, common Invincible True Ancestors meant little to Imperial Son Fengyang.

However, Ye Xingchen's presence stirred a subtle pressure in him.

“Impossible! As an Invincible True Ancestor at ultimate peak, how does Ye Xingchen exert this pressure on me?”

Imperial Son Fengyang masked his calm facade, hiding the growing unease within.

“Let's shift this fight higher up. This realm feels too confined,” Ye Xingchen proposed.

“Agreed,” Imperial Son Fengyang nodded.

In a streak, Ye Xingchen ascended into the skies, climbing ever upward to the boundless cosmic void.

The endless void stretched infinitely, guaranteeing their clash wouldn't harm Human Race lands.

Aware Ye Xingchen was an Invincible True Ancestor, Imperial Son Fengyang unleashed much of his might. His opening strike: a Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Great Sun Golden Light Technique!

Boom!!!

Golden radiance carrying the great sun's silhouette slashed at Ye Xingchen with ruinous force. Its horrifying power twisted the faces of watching Human geniuses and True Ancestors. Facing it, they'd vaporize instantly.

Countering Imperial Son Fengyang's Middle Thousand Dao Technique, Ye Xingchen activated his defensive one—Starday Dao Robe!

A famed Middle Thousand Dao Technique of the starday type. Bolstered by his Dao-level core talent—Starday Armor—and various enlightenment-boosting treasures, Ye Xingchen mastered Starday Dao Robe to minor accomplishment pinnacle, his sole technique at that stage. Others sat at entry or minor accomplishment.

The Starday Dao Robe shimmered brilliantly, like a splendid robe cloaking his form.

The Great Sun Golden Light Technique's golden beam hit the Starday Dao Robe and scattered harmlessly, failing to breach Ye Xingchen’s guard.

“A Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Starday Dao Robe—at minor accomplishment already?” Imperial Son Fengyang's brows knit.

With defense so formidable and strength at Invincible True Ancestor's utmost peak, toppling Ye Xingchen grew daunting.

Then Ye Xingchen revealed his minor accomplishment Forbidden Body, shocking Imperial Son Fengyang speechless. At merely 40% refinement, it dwarfed typical Forbidden Bodies.

Crucially, Imperial Son Fengyang owned no Forbidden Body. His True Ancestor power borrowed faint forbidden traits via a unique secret art. Far from wielding Dark Forbidden Power, a Forbidden Body remained distant.

Jealousy then exploded in Imperial Son Fengyang’s heart!
