Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1198: The Seventh Lord-Level!
Previously on Your Talent is Mine...
In a brief span, more than a dozen commander-level forbidden insects met their end.
Such immense losses were devastating for the Forbidden Insect Race, considering their total count of commander-level forbidden insects was just over fifty.
It was initially anticipated that the entire Forbidden Insect Race would crumble once Palace Master Azure Dragon annihilated all the commander-level forbidden insects through his relentless assaults.
However, an unexpected turn of events transpired at this moment.
Boom!
A forbidden insect materialized, unleashing a power on par with a lord-level forbidden insect. It immediately targeted an Invincible Dao Ancestor, Imperial Monarch North Forest of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, who was known to be among the weaker Invincible Dao Ancestors.
Pfft!
A long, weapon-like appendage impaled Imperial Monarch North Forest. The potent Dark Forbidden Power swiftly eradicated his vitality.
Imperial Monarch North Forest perished in a single blow, his life extinguished.
This shocking development stunned everyone, even catching Palace Master Azure Dragon by surprise.
“There’s a seventh lord-level forbidden insect! And it managed to conceal its presence; it can actually hide its aura!” Palace Master Azure Dragon exclaimed in utter astonishment.
Even Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, deeply engrossed in their respective battles, were taken aback. All prior investigations indicated no lord-level forbidden insect possessed the ability to conceal its aura.
Nevertheless, if a lord-level forbidden insect could truly mask its presence, then even Heavenly King Nine Limits would be incapable of detecting it.
“It could be that forbidden insect with exceptional intelligence!” several Half-Step Domain Ancestors mused inwardly.
“Courting death!” Palace Master Azure Dragon roared in fury.
Had the fallen Invincible Dao Ancestor belonged to a different faction, his rage might not have been so pronounced. But this lord-level forbidden insect had dispatched an Invincible Dao Ancestor from their own Heavenly Emperor Palace. The loss of an Invincible Dao Ancestor represented a significant blow to the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Boom!
Palace Master Azure Dragon surged towards the lord-level forbidden insect. To the astonishment of all observers, this lord-level forbidden insect proved to be no weaker than Palace Master Azure Dragon, engaging in a fierce battle where both sides appeared evenly matched.
Without Palace Master Azure Dragon’s continuous onslaught, the pressure on the remaining Invincible Dao Ancestors escalated dramatically.
“Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, you possess the greatest speed. Proceed to continue the extermination of the commander-level forbidden insects!” Palace Master White Tiger advised.
After all, with the seven Half-Step Domain Ancestors contending against six lord-level forbidden insects, they already had a numerical advantage. This extra combatant allowed them to maintain a significant edge. However, even a six-on-six confrontation was sufficient to hold the forbidden insects at bay, preventing them from gaining an overwhelming advantage.
“Understood!” Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins readily agreed.
Whoosh!
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins swiftly disengaged from the Half-Step Domain Ancestors' battleground, piercing through the void and converging on the Invincible Dao Ancestors' battlefield. His target was one of the commander-level forbidden insects.
While Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins’ attacks lacked the sheer destructive power of Palace Master Azure Dragon’s, it required only two strikes for him to dispatch a commander-level forbidden insect.
The swiftness of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor’s assault was unmatched. Consequently, unleashing two full-power strikes consumed minimal time. As soon as Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins joined the engagement, the commander-level forbidden insects began to fall in rapid succession.
Before long, the casualties among the commander-level forbidden insects reached catastrophic levels.
Nonetheless,
At this precise juncture, another Invincible Dao Ancestor met their demise. This time, it was Dao Ancestor Silent Sound of the Limitless Sky Sect, who was engulfed and annihilated by six commander-level forbidden insects.
There was no other recourse. The sheer numerical superiority of the commander-level forbidden insects was overwhelming. Each Invincible Dao Ancestor was forced to confront two or three adversaries simultaneously. Dao Ancestor Silent Sound found himself suddenly surrounded by six such entities, with one possessing strength that far outstripped the others, its combat power not significantly inferior to that of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor.
As a consequence, Dao Ancestor Silent Sound could not withstand the onslaught and was ultimately overwhelmed and slain.
Upon realizing Dao Ancestor Silent Sound’s fate, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins immediately retaliated against the exceptionally powerful commander-level forbidden insect. However, by leveraging its fully realized Forbidden Body, its strength greatly exceeding that of typical commander-level insects, and the synchronized assault from five additional commander-level forbidden insects, it managed to temporarily fend off Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins’ attack.
By following this battle plan, although they couldn't be considered true defeats, they could at least stall the enemy for a period.
Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins found himself deeply perplexed.
Had Ye Tian been present, he would have readily grasped the underlying reason. That particular commander-level forbidden insect harbored its own Forbidden Talent. Such talents bestowed upon forbidden insects capabilities that far transcended their ordinary limits.
For instance, consider the disparity between a Half-Step Domain Ancestor and a lord-level forbidden insect. A lord-level forbidden insect, bolstered by its unique Forbidden Talent, could stand its ground against a Half-Step Domain Ancestor who had thoroughly mastered forbidden Dao techniques. Bolstered by its inherent physical advantages, it could even seize the upper hand in prolonged attrition battles.
After all, the Dark Forbidden Domain served as an optimal combat theater for them. In stark contrast, Half-Step Domain Ancestors found it challenging to fully acclimate to the Dark Forbidden Domain's environment, thereby preventing them from performing at their absolute peak.
If this particular engagement had unfolded within the Dao Mountain Domain, Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins would have been capable of dispatching this commander-level forbidden insect with haste, even with its Forbidden Talent.
As for the ongoing conflict between Invincible Dao Ancestors and Half-Step Domain Ancestors, Ye Tian paid it no heed whatsoever.
At this precise moment, he was engaged in a solitary battle against thirty Seventh Heaven forbidden insects, thereby alleviating the pressure on the others holding the line.
Had any other top-tier Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor been in his stead, they would have succumbed long ago under such a relentless siege. Yet, Ye Tian effortlessly withstood the combined onslaught of thirty Seventh Heaven forbidden insects, managing to dispatch one or two of them with occasional precision.
Naturally, his unwavering confidence in confronting thirty Seventh Heaven forbidden insects did not stem from sheer offensive might. Regardless of how formidable one's attacks might be, they were insufficient to endure such overwhelming numbers. Even the most potent Dao Ancestors, possessing lesser defensive capabilities, would inevitably perish if they allowed their guard to falter even momentarily.
However, Ye Tian stood apart as a Dao Ancestor who had ascended from the ranks of a Supreme True Ancestor. Empowered by his Supreme Dao Origin, he could perpetually draw upon Forbidden Origin Power to mend his wounds.
Consequently, Ye Tian found himself repeatedly wounded and subsequently healed, ceaselessly channeling Forbidden Origin Power to facilitate his recovery. In essence, he approached an unkillable state.
Unless his adversaries could unleash a singular, devastating strike that surpassed his recuperative limits, incapacitating him faster than he could regenerate, his demise was unimaginable.
One after another, the Seventh Heaven forbidden insects began to fall. As their numbers gradually diminished, the pressure Ye Tian faced lessened, enabling him to dispatch them with even greater celerity.
In parallel, Ye Tian's formidable Copy Body, known as the Heavenly King Nine Limits, exhibited an equally astonishing level of combat prowess. This counterpart was also engaged in a fierce engagement against dozens of Seventh Heaven forbidden insects.
Ye Tian's breathtaking display of dominance commanded the attention of numerous Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, who were left in a state of utter astonishment.
“By the heavens, the Heavenly King Nine Limits’ performance is truly unbelievable! He’s single-handedly contending with dozens of Seventh Heaven forbidden insects and systematically eliminating them!”
“The combat prowess demonstrated by the Heavenly King Nine Limits has now eclipsed that of Young Master Gui. He could undoubtedly defeat Young Master Gui in a one-on-one confrontation! When compared to the lesser Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, the Heavenly King Nine Limits is in no way inferior. Furthermore, in terms of sheer resilience and survivability, he actually surpasses most Pinnacle Dao Ancestors!”
“Hahaha, with the Heavenly King Nine Limits contributing so significantly, our collective burden has been substantially lightened. Let us press onward with renewed vigor! Let us exterminate them all! Once we have concluded our operations against the forbidden insects in this sector, we shall advance to provide reinforcement for the other Dao Ancestors!”
Similar acclamations and expressions of awe resounded in the direction of Ye Tian’s primary physical form.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian remained singularly focused on the task of eliminating the remaining forbidden insects, betraying no hint of distraction from his mission.
