Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1196: Interception, Complete Annihilation!

“So many forbidden insects!” Ye Tian exclaimed in shock.

The intelligence gathered earlier had suggested a significantly smaller number of these creatures! Reports indicated only about sixty or seventy, but here, over a hundred swarmed, and many of them were seventh-stage forbidden insects.

At that very moment, Ye Tian spotted Dao Ancestor Clear River and the others. Witnessing their desperate plight, he rapidly soared toward them.

In the span of a breath, Ye Tian reached their side.

Boom!!!

His Forbidden Domain unfurled, exerting complete suppression over the gathered forbidden insects.

Without a second's delay, Ye Tian manifested a Forbidden Spear, amplifying its power with his Forbidden Talent: Dark Spear!

Puff!

The Forbidden Spear effortlessly plunged through a seventh-stage forbidden insect’s body. Its lingering power surged onward, impaling several sixth-stage forbidden insects in its wake.

The sixth-stage forbidden insects met their demise instantly from the Forbidden Spear. As for the seventh-stage creature, though it did not perish immediately, it suffered grievous wounds, left teetering on death's door with almost no strength left to fight back.

At this juncture—

Dao Ancestor Clear River, Dao Ancestor Silver Dress, and Dao Ancestor Crazy Shark stood speechless. While it was indeed astonishing to slay a sixth-stage forbidden insect in an instant, it wasn’t an entirely unprecedented feat. However, to inflict such severe damage, nearly killing a seventh-stage forbidden insect with a single assault? That was truly beyond comprehension.

They themselves had been locked in combat with these seventh-stage creatures for a considerable duration, only managing to inflict minor wounds. In terms of sheer resilience, the seventh-stage forbidden insects proved even more formidable than they were.

Yet, Ye Tian had come incredibly close to obliterating one with a single blow. This implied that Ye Tian possessed the capability to severely injure, or perhaps even eliminate, them with a solitary strike!

“Even Dao Ancestor Sky Claw could not inflict such devastating damage upon me in one attack!” the three Dao Ancestors mused internally.

Did this not signify that Ye Tian’s might had surpassed Dao Ancestor Sky Claw’s? Not by a small margin, but by a substantial one.

Dao Ancestor Sky Claw already occupied the zenith of seventh-stage Dao Ancestor cultivation. Only Young Master Gui held the authority to suppress him. Yet, even Young Master Gui might not necessarily possess the power to inflict such grievous harm, let alone end them, in a single strike.

Terrifying!

This was their collective assessment of Ye Tian.

After severely wounding the seventh-stage forbidden insect with his initial strike, Ye Tian followed up with another precise spear thrust, ensuring its complete destruction.

At this point, the remaining forbidden insects seemed to grasp the immense threat Ye Tian represented. Nevertheless, they did not attempt to flee. Instead, they collectively surged towards him.

Within their primitive minds, the concept of fear was an unknown.

Ye Tian unleashed the Ten-Directions Space-Fixing Technique, effectively immobilizing the surrounding void. He further augmented his offensive capabilities by activating the Primeval Desolate Body.

“Primeval Slashing Technique!”

With a single, decisive strike, Ye Tian cleaved the form of another seventh-stage forbidden insect in two. Swiftly following up with the Forbidden Spear, imbued with the fearsome Dark Spear ability, he annihilated it completely.

One after another, Ye Tian employed a variety of formidable Dao Techniques, systematically eliminating the forbidden insects. Within a remarkably short period, the Dark Forbidden Void became a grim testament to their demise, littered with the corpses of countless forbidden insects.

Dao Ancestor Clear River, Dao Ancestor Silver Dress, and Dao Ancestor Crazy Shark observed the unfolding carnage in silent awe. They found themselves entirely unnecessary, not even needing to lift a finger.

Before long, only a handful of seven or eight forbidden insects remained, three of which were formidable seventh-stage creatures.

At this critical moment, dread finally gripped them, and they began a desperate flight.

However, their escape proved utterly futile. Ye Tian’s speed vastly outstripped their own. Employing his Grand Thousand Dao Technique for tracking—the Three-Fruit Heavenly Eye Technique—he could effortlessly pinpoint their locations. Coupled with their inability to mask their presence, no matter how far they fled, Ye Tian was invariably able to intercept and eliminate them one by one.

In a remarkably brief span, the last vestiges of the forbidden insects were relentlessly pursued and slain by Ye Tian.

“Our sincerest gratitude to the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws for preserving our lives!”

Dao Ancestor Clear River, Dao Ancestor Silver Dress, and Dao Ancestor Crazy Shark conveyed their profound thanks as Ye Tian returned, having annihilated the insect horde.

“You also rendered invaluable service. Had you not held them off, I could not have achieved this complete victory!” Ye Tian responded with a smile, adding, “Let us now retrieve the remains of the fallen Dao Ancestors from the forbidden insects’ spatial storage.”

“Mm!” Dao Ancestor Clear River and the other two readily concurred.

Following a brief period of organization, the deceased Dao Ancestors' bodies were carefully recovered from the spatial realms of the Forbidden Insect Race. These remains required immediate transport for proper burial or cremation, ensuring they would not fall prey to further desecration by the Forbidden Insect Race.

“These insect corpses are now yours to claim. As for the rest, I shall take them. Do any of you have objections?” Ye Tian inquired.

“No objections whatsoever!” Dao Ancestor Clear River and his companions readily agreed, without any hesitation.

As per the established accord among the great powers, the right to keep the corpse of any slain Forbidden Insect Race member belonged to the slayer. Therefore, they saw no reason to object. Moreover, they were not aligned with Ye Tian's faction, leaving him under no obligation to show them any special courtesy. Under different circumstances, they might have even been adversaries. Thus, Ye Tian gathered the corpses of the forbidden insects he had vanquished and, alongside the three Dao Ancestors, returned to their respective outposts. The fallen Dao Ancestors' remains were personally handled by Ye Tian, who transported them back to his base for appropriate disposition.

…

Blackwind Mountain Base

Upon his return, Ye Tian reported the mission's completion. The Wind King then duly assigned the Dao Ancestor corpses to their respective factions. A handful of corpses belonging to unaffectionate rogue cultivators were taken back to the Profound Void Archaic Realm for mandatory destruction.

In the ensuing period, Ye Tian would occasionally venture out to hunt forbidden insects or lend support to fellow Dao Ancestors. Unbeknownst to him, a century slipped by. During this extensive timeframe, he amassed a collection of nearly a hundred forbidden insect corpses.

One particular day,

Ye Tian formally submitted a request to return to the Profound Void Archaic Realm for a period of recovery. He also intended to leverage this opportunity to perform the ritualistic sacrifice of the accumulated forbidden insect corpses.

His request was promptly granted.

…

Profound Void Archaic Realm

Ye Tian and Xiao Yue made their return, yet their son, Ye Xingchen, elected to remain behind, continuing his participation in the ongoing conflicts, rather than accompanying them. The moment they reintegrated with the Human Race, Ye Tian and his wife, Xiao Yue, immediately commenced the process of sacrificing the forbidden insect corpses.

At the heart of the sacrificial formation,

One by one, the forbidden insect corpses were positioned upon the altar. As the formation hummed to life, the corpses were systematically consumed by the sacred rite. Subsequently,

Ye Tian perceived the direct influence of the Profound Void Archaic Realm's core essence. It bestowed upon him a significant boost in cultivation, accompanied by a prodigious surge of the Realm's primeval energy flowing into his being. This potent energy served to purify and strengthen his physical form, his Forbidden Dao Force, and his very soul. Ye Tian meticulously stored this essence, planning to refine it gradually over time. Once he had fully assimilated this primeval energy, his overall might would undergo a substantial enhancement. More crucially, the augmentation derived from the Profound Void Archaic Realm's essence meant that future cultivation within the realm would yield returns far exceeding previous levels. This represented the true, enduring advantage. Following this, Ye Tian dedicated a period to cultivating within the Forbidden Void Realm. Later, he departed from the Profound Void Archaic Realm, venturing forth once more into the perilous Dark Forbidden Domain to continue his hunt for the Forbidden Insect Race. Through this consistent rhythm of departure and return, Ye Tian's power and renown steadily escalated.

One fateful day,

Word arrived – an Invincible Dao Ancestor had met their demise!
