Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1170: The Death of Imperial Son Fengyang!

TL: Etude

Fengyang, the Imperial Son, stood completely dumbfounded. Hadn't reports claimed that the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws had just stepped into the Dao Ancestor realm? How could his strength reach such terrifying heights? Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud ranked as a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor, and among peers at that level, he stood out as one of the elite. Dread started to seep into Fengyang's core. His mightiest guardian at present was Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud himself. The remaining Dao Ancestors by his side paled in comparison—totally powerless against the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, much less able to overcome him.

Right then, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud found himself frozen in place, desperately begging, “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, have mercy! Spare my life!”

“Have mercy?”

Ye Tian's icy tone echoed through the air. “Had I not arrived, wouldn't you have slain my son? Yet you have the nerve to plead now?”

With those words, Ye Tian released the Dark Forbidden Power, letting it relentlessly erode Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud's form. At the same time, he invoked a Grand Thousand Dao Technique—the Soul Golden Bell Technique! From between Ye Tian's eyebrows emerged a ghostly golden bell that plunged straight into Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud's soul sea. It rang without cease inside, sending wave after wave of shattering vibrations.

“Ahhh!!” Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud wailed in torment. His soul teetered on the brink of collapse—actually fracturing apart. However, the extraordinary toughness and recovery power of a Dao Ancestor's soul allowed it to mend itself.

Over and over, it mended, splintered, and mended once more. As moments dragged on, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud's presence grew ever feebler.

Ye Tian hastened the passage of time in their vicinity. Though it felt like ages had passed for them, outsiders perceived it as a mere blink.

Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud's aura winked out entirely. His soul shattered beyond repair, and his flesh, eaten away by the Dark Forbidden Power, dissolved into oblivion.

Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud perished.

With Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud's traces erased, Imperial Son Fengyang shook violently. He couldn't bear to lock eyes with the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, nor did he risk fleeing. Any twitch might invite instant annihilation, he feared.

Ye Tian shifted his focus to Ye Xingchen next, speeding up time around him to finish the evolution.

Soon enough, Ye Xingchen's change concluded. He stepped fully into the Supreme True Ancestor stage.

“Father, thank you for your help!” Ye Xingchen expressed his deep gratitude.

“You're my son—how could I stand by?” Ye Tian replied, smiling warmly.

After a brief hesitation, he added, “You've excelled this time, advancing amid combat. I'd figured the Supreme True Ancestor realm would demand far more time from you, yet you've seized it swiftly! Imperial Son Fengyang remains your foe. Your duel continues—no matter the outcome, I'll manage it all.”

“Understood!” Ye Xingchen affirmed with firm resolve.

Meanwhile,

Imperial Son Fengyang cried out hastily, “I concede! I give up!”

How could he challenge Ye Xingchen anymore? Now a Supreme True Ancestor, even freshly ascended and not at peak, Ye Xingchen outmatched him utterly—worse than before.

“Sorry, but your surrender won't stand,” Ye Xingchen replied icily.

Imperial Son Fengyang had commanded Dao Ancestor Thunder Cloud to end him earlier. No way would Ye Xingchen let him off now.

“Halt him! Protect me!” Imperial Son Fengyang shouted wildly at his Dao Ancestor guards.

But instantly, Ye Tian's eyes fixed on the Dao Ancestors encircling Imperial Son Fengyang.

“Move, and perish,” Ye Tian declared, his tone carrying absolute dominance.

One Dao Ancestor lunged forward, only for Ye Tian's Forbidden Spear thrust to impale his frame, nailing him into the void.

The rest of the Dao Ancestors froze, unwilling to budge.

By then, Ye Xingchen closed in on Imperial Son Fengyang, Starday Blade raised high for a downward cleave.

Imperial Son Fengyang, still wounded and far from healed, fought below full strength. His might couldn't rival Ye Xingchen's surging power. Even pouring everything into a defensive dao technique, the Starday Blade overwhelmed him.

A sickening rip sounded as Imperial Son Fengyang's body split almost in half, wounds tearing deeper.

Slash! Slash! Slash! The Starday Blade hammered down repeatedly. Imperial Son Fengyang mounted no defense. He attempted escape, but his pace fell short of Ye Xingchen's.

Of course, he tried to activate his escape treasures right away, yet Ye Xingchen triggered a Forbidden Domain and then deployed an intermediate Middle Thousand Dao Technique designed for binding. Such actions rendered Imperial Son Fengyang completely incapable of fleeing, save for owning a Forbidden Wondrous Object like the Forbidden Void Leaf.

Yet how could he own anything like that? Sensing death closing in, Imperial Son Fengyang quickly summoned his powerful backing: “Ye Xingchen, I am an Imperial Son of the Heavenly Emperor Palace! Even your father, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, is but an ant before the Heavenly Emperor Palace! If you kill me, the palace will rage, and your Human Race will face extermination!”

Threats from Imperial Son Fengyang left Ye Xingchen completely unmoved. His father had promised to handle every single consequence himself.

His father hadn't stepped in at all, so why hold back now? The Starday Blade slashed down, slicing through Imperial Son Fengyang’s quivering energy. A distinguished head launched into the sky.

Ye Xingchen then released a Middle Thousand Dao Technique—Starday Divine Spear. One thrust nailed Imperial Son Fengyang’s head down securely. Meanwhile, he pressed on with his fierce barrage against the body, smashing it into ruins.

Still, Imperial Son Fengyang’s head endured, bellowing in fury, refusing to perish.

At his peak as an Invincible True Ancestor, Imperial Son Fengyang resisted easy death. Without forbidden techniques or extra years building power at the Supreme True Ancestor realm, Ye Xingchen had no quick way to finish off this mighty adversary.

Finally, the Starday Blade chopped Imperial Son Fengyang’s head into innumerable bits. His soul shattered apart too, erased without a trace.

Only then could Imperial Son Fengyang truly be called dead.

Even though it felt eternal, the whole clash wrapped up in barely a dozen minutes.

Imperial Son Fengyang’s death froze his Dao Ancestor guards in place, too scared to act.

Ye Tian knew perfectly well the Heavenly Emperor Palace had learned of Imperial Son Fengyang’s end by now.

Imperial Son Fengyang and his Dao Ancestor guards surely reported back already. Spies hid among the onlooker Dao Ancestors for certain.

All that remained was awaiting the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s mighty Dao Ancestors to descend.

Boom! The void quaked as a silhouette materialized from the empty space, gaze locked coldly on Ye Tian. “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, your Human Race is quite bold to kill our Imperial Son. Do you truly think nothing of the Heavenly Emperor Palace?”

This arrival was a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor of the Heavenly Emperor Palace—Dao Ancestor War Fire, serving under Heavenly Dragon Hall and overseeing battles.

“So, they only sent a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor?” Ye Tian muttered under his breath.

He’d assumed the Heavenly Emperor Palace would send a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor straight away. Clearly, a single Imperial Son didn’t merit that response.

“Dao Ancestor War Fire, if Imperial Son Fengyang had fought my son fairly and lost, the Human Race wouldn’t have pursued him. Unfortunately, he couldn’t accept defeat and ordered a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor to kill my son! Are your Imperial Sons above defeat? Whoever wins, you destroy their faction? Does this mean that if your Heavenly Emperor Palace kills someone and is retaliated against, you’ll annihilate their sect? Such arrogance from your palace is truly outrageous!” Ye Tian taunted.

Ye Tian’s words struck home with countless Dao Ancestors at once. Many nodded quietly, their stares toward Dao Ancestor War Fire turning wary.
