Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1193: Forbidden Talent: Dark Spear!

The journey through the Forbidden Insect Nest wasn't lengthy. Before Ye Tian knew it, he had passed through the tunnel and entered the expansive interior of the Forbidden Insect Nest.

The interior was immensely vast, stretching further than the eye could see. Even Ye Tian's spiritual sense couldn't reach the core region; he could only observe some forbidden insects moving about nearby.

Furthermore, the suppression within this place was overwhelming. At best, he could only wield thirty percent of his full power.

Even a Half-Step Domain Ancestor who came here would likely find much of their strength curbed, making any single lord-level forbidden insect capable of defeating them.

“I need to get to the core region to gather specific intel!” Ye Tian determined.

And so, he unleashed the Heavenly Illusory Divine Steps, propelling himself towards the center of the Forbidden Insect Nest at his utmost speed.

During his dash, countless forbidden insects assaulted him, but Ye Tian paid them no mind, allowing their attacks to land freely.

He even pushed the limits of this body to its absolute extreme, moving at a pace that defied his own capabilities.

Finally, he arrived at the core region, his body sustaining severe injuries.

At this crucial juncture, his eyes locked onto a colossal Divine Tree within the nest. This tree was adorned with numerous Insect Cocoons, each one representing a forbidden insect.

Ye Tian’s spiritual sense identified three particularly noteworthy cocoons. These cocoons pulsed with a golden luminescence—they were the cocoons of lord-level forbidden insects. Should these three cocoons reach full maturity, three more lord-level forbidden insects would emerge.

What made Ye Tian's expression contort dramatically, however, was a pure purple flower situated atop the Divine Tree. This flower cradled a tightly closed purple bud, similar in appearance to the insect cocoons but smaller in size.

Undoubtedly, this pure purple bud was also a cocoon. Its prominent position on the tree signified its supreme importance.

Ye Tian could clearly discern two golden forbidden insects perched on either side of the purple flower, seemingly standing guard over the cocoon.

These two golden forbidden insects were unequivocally lord-level, their strength on par with that of Half-Step Domain Ancestors!

“Could that possibly be the Insect King Cocoon?” Ye Tian pondered aloud.

If his suspicion proved true, this was far from auspicious news.

While he had no idea when the Insect King Cocoon might mature, its emergence would undoubtedly herald disaster for the Dao Mountain Domain.

Suddenly.

The two lord-level forbidden insects stirred, their gazes fixing upon Ye Tian.

One of them extended a lengthy appendage, sharp as a spear. In a flash, it tore through space, traversing the void to strike down Ye Tian instantly, then returned to its slumber.

To these beings, Ye Tian appeared to be nothing more than a trivial insect, easily extinguished.

…

In a different quarter of the Dark Forbidden Domain, Ye Tian was engaged in hunting forbidden insects alongside Xiao Yue when his expression abruptly shifted. He understood that his Copy Body had met its end.

The Copy Talent ability was truly remarkable. Even within the confines of the Forbidden Insect Nest, it could not sever the connection between Ye Tian's main body and his copy, enabling him to perceive everything the Copy Body had experienced with clarity.

“As expected of a lord-level forbidden insect. A single limb from it extinguished me with ease,” Ye Tian remarked to himself.

However, his mood quickly turned to excitement.

Previously, when he followed Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins near the Forbidden Insect Nest, they had deliberately kept his clone from approaching the two lord-level forbidden insects, out of caution.

Due to the considerable distance, his Copy Talent couldn't encompass the two lord-level forbidden insects’ forms, making it impossible to discern their talents.

This time, however, the two lord-level forbidden insects residing within the nest were significantly closer to Ye Tian. Consequently, Ye Tian succeeded in divining their unique talents.

Ordinary forbidden insects generally lacked any special talents. They typically possessed only speed, defense, and strength, without even a cultivation talent.

Many forbidden insects were born with fixed power levels from the outset and were incapable of further growth, regardless of the resources they consumed. Their strength could only ascend to its initial limit.

It was for this reason that Ye Tian had never been able to replicate any particularly valuable talents from other forbidden insects.

This instance proved different. He had uncovered an entirely novel talent from the lord-level forbidden insects.

[Forbidden Talent: Dark Spear]

Ye Tian had never encountered any forbidden talent before, but based on its description, he grasped the general concept of forbidden talents.

These were a category of talents that surpassed even Dao-level core talents. Nearly every Forbidden Lifeform was endowed with a forbidden talent.

True Forbidden Lifeforms were beings on par with Domain Ancestors, far beyond Ye Tian's current capacity to encounter.

Nevertheless, even lord-level forbidden insects possessed forbidden talents—though only one per individual creature.

Both lord-level forbidden insects possessed the identical forbidden talent: Dark Spear. It was evident this was a racial forbidden talent.

Ye Tian instantly copied the forbidden talents from both lord-level forbidden insects. Once these were merged, his own forbidden talent would surpass even that of the lord-level insects.

“If only I could copy the forbidden talents of every lord-level forbidden insect, my Dark Spear talent would become impossibly powerful. It’s a shame that encountering more lord-level forbidden insects in the future will be extraordinarily difficult,” Ye Tian lamented with a sigh.

His current strength was utterly insufficient. Without the guidance of Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, he would never have reached the Forbidden Insect Nest. The elite and commander-level forbidden insects would have annihilated him long before.

Ye Tian also felt regret over not being able to discern the talent of the insect king residing within the pure purple insect cocoon. It seemed the insect king had not yet fully matured, preventing its talent from being observed.

Had he been able to witness it, the forbidden talent of a future insect king would undoubtedly be far more formidable.

After dispatching three forbidden insects alongside Xiao Yue, Ye Tian decided against further conflict and made haste to depart the area, returning to the Blackwind Mountain base.

Indulging in further greed would court extreme danger. Should a massive swarm of forbidden insects surround them, even Ye Tian would struggle to escape. Confronting elite forbidden insects would place both their lives in dire peril.

Therefore, it was prudent to retreat while they still held the advantage. Upon their return to the Blackwind Mountain base, Xiao Yue took some time to rest, while Ye Tian was promptly summoned by Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins. It was clear that these two Half-Step Domain Ancestors had also rejoined them.

…

Within the opulent residence of Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity.

Ye Tian found himself face-to-face with the two Half-Step Domain Ancestors once more. “Greetings, Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity. Greetings, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins.”

Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity inquired, “Heavenly King Nine Limits, did your clone manage to uncover any significant information within the Forbidden Insect Nest?”

Ye Tian provided an honest account, stating, “I have roughly assessed the situation. At the core of the Forbidden Insect Nest stands an immense Divine Tree, which I have named the Forbidden Insect Tree. Adorning this tree are countless forbidden insect cocoons, serving as the birthplace for every forbidden insect! Furthermore, I observed two active lord-level forbidden insects, with three more currently undergoing nurturing!”

The expressions of Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins shifted subtly upon receiving this intelligence.

This revelation implied that the Forbidden Insect Race currently commanded eight lord-level forbidden insects. With the three undergoing maturation, the total count of lord-level forbidden insects would escalate to eleven.

However, what Ye Tian disclosed next caused their countenances to alter dramatically.
