Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1203: Seeking a Lord-Level!

Having departed Blackwind Mountain, Ye Tian made his return to the Human Race. His new designation was the Dark King of Blackwind Mountain, positioning him as an equal to the Wind King and granting him access to myriad secrets and an abundance of precious scriptures. For instance, the library held Grand Thousand Dao Technique inheritances, which he could now study without incurring any cost. Nevertheless, Ye Tian found little appeal in these techniques, as they offered no substantial boost to his personal might. At the zenith of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor stage, Blackwind Mountain’s primary asset to him served as a powerful backing, while his future cultivation advancements would largely depend on his solitary endeavors. Furthermore, Ye Tian now possessed the authority to command numerous Heavenly Kings and True Ancestors within Blackwind Mountain, enabling him to delegate tasks indirectly. A significant portion of the domain’s resources also flowed through his purview, bestowing upon him considerable influence. In essence, the authority wielded by the Half-Step Domain Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors within Blackwind Mountain was, to a degree, surpassed by that of the Ten Kings, who acted as the primary executors of Blackwind Mountain’s overt power, while the former focused less on administrative duties.

“It’s a shame I can no longer enter the Forbidden Void Realm for cultivation!” Upon reaching the rank of Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, this became a significant concern for Ye Tian, a fact that filled him with a sense of regret. While dispatching an avatar into the Forbidden Void Realm was feasible, the avatar was incapable of cultivating there. Consequently, the Forbidden Void Realm’s utility was now confined to the training of his kin, the nurturing of the Human Race, and the development of the Nine Limits Legion, offering minimal benefit to his personal advancement. In that moment, he grasped Ouyang Jiu’er’s apparent disinterest in the Forbidden Void Realm; for individual cultivators, its value was quite limited. However, its significance for an organization was immeasurable. The thought of Ouyang Jiu’er brought to his attention her prolonged absence. From his understanding, Ouyang Jiu’er was not currently situated at the Human Race’s established base, having evidently departed for other locales. Yet, she had not entered the Dark Forbidden Domain to hunt the Forbidden Insect Race. Naturally, her disappearance was not entirely unexpected by him. After all, the major outposts within the Dark Forbidden Domain were under the observation of Half-Step Domain Ancestors. Should Ouyang Jiu’er have encountered them, her true identity could have been compromised, a situation far from ideal. Therefore, it was most probable that Ouyang Jiu’er was in seclusion, dedicating herself to cultivation. Judging by his knowledge of her, Ouyang Jiu’er had likely already ascended to the ranks of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors by this point. At the Blackwind Mountain Base. Ye Tian had returned, this time adopting the persona of the Dark King. Of course, it was merely a Copy Body that materialized, while his true self maintained the guise of Ye Tian. Many of Blackwind Mountain’s Heavenly Kings were aware of the demise of the previous Dark King. The emergence of a new Dark King naturally sparked conjecture. Some speculated that a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor had achieved a breakthrough to claim the position, while others surmised that a clandestine Pinnacle Dao Ancestor had emerged from the shadows to assume the mantle. For the time being, Ye Tian’s true identity remained concealed. However, with the passage of time, should a Heavenly King be absent for extended periods, others might eventually piece together his real identity as Heavenly King Nine Limits. Nevertheless, Blackwind Mountain had significantly relaxed its emphasis on concealing identities. Thus, even if his true nature were to be uncovered, it would likely not cause any substantial repercussions. Ye Tian appeared under the guise of the Dark King. He joined the other ten kings of Blackwind Mountain, embarking on expeditions to hunt forbidden insects within the Dark Forbidden Domain. Gradually, his reputation grew. Numerous factions became aware of a formidable, top-tier Pinnacle Dao Ancestor hailing from Blackwind Mountain—none other than the Dark King! On a particular day. Ye Tian was preparing to enact a strategic plan. This scheme involved leveraging his Forbidden Talent, Concealment, to infiltrate the vicinity of lord-level forbidden insects and replicate their unique forbidden talents. Naturally, this endeavor was fraught with inherent peril, but by employing a Copy Body for the attempt, even if it were to result in destruction, the consequences would be minimal. Once he succeeded in duplicating the Dark Spear forbidden talent multiple times, his overall strength would experience a significant enhancement. Previously, he had hesitated to undertake such a dangerous mission. Without the aid of the Forbidden Talent Concealment, a direct assault would inevitably lead to interception by commander-level forbidden insects and a multitude of elite-level hordes, leaving him with no opportunity to approach the lord-level beings. But now, possessing the Forbidden Talent Concealment, he could effortlessly draw near to lord-level forbidden insects. Within the boundless, impenetrable darkness of the Dark Forbidden Domain.

Ye Tian's form dissolved into the forbidden domain's void, slipping past countless forbidden insects. Not a single one of these creatures registered his presence.

The power of his Forbidden Talent, Concealment, proved even more potent than Ouyang Jiu'er's Shadowless Divine Steps. While the latter could render one imperceptible from a distance, it faltered at close range. Concealment, however, maintained absolute undetectability even when in very close proximity.

Not far from the main cluster of forbidden insects, Ye Tian encountered his first lord-level specimen. It happened that this particular creature possessed a forbidden talent he hadn't yet replicated.

Regrettably, this creature held only one forbidden talent, Dark Spear, and notably lacked Concealment.

It became clear that the commander-level forbidden insect he had previously faced, which boasted two forbidden talents, was indeed a rare anomaly among their kind.

"Copy!"

With a mere thought, Ye Tian unleashed his ability.

Instantly.

The lord-level forbidden insect's head snapped in Ye Tian's direction, and it immediately launched an assault.

With a sharp tearing sound, Ye Tian's Copy Body was obliterated without any chance of resistance.

This particular trial, however, enabled Ye Tian to ascertain the limitations of Forbidden Talent Concealment. While lord-level forbidden insects struggled to sense him from afar, they could detect him once he drew near.

The annihilation of the Copy Body meant a ten-thousand-year cooldown before he could utilize that ability again.

Consequently, Ye Tian personally sped up the flow of time ten thousandfold. In a little over a month, the Copy Body ability was ready for reuse.

Following this, Ye Tian continued to deploy his Copy Body, seeking out further lord-level forbidden insects.

Through numerous attempts, Ye Tian ultimately succeeded in copying the forbidden talents of nine distinct lord-level forbidden insects. These acquisitions included nine instances of the Dark Spear forbidden talent and, unexpectedly, two instances of the Forbidden Talent Concealment. The discovery of a second Concealment talent, originating from yet another lord-level forbidden insect, left him greatly astonished.

By merging these duplicated forbidden talents, Ye Tian's mastery over both Dark Spear and Concealment advanced considerably.

As he delved into the comprehension of the Dark Limit Dao Spear, Ye Tian observed his progress accelerating far beyond previous rates. Furthermore, the effectiveness of Concealment saw a marked improvement, though it still fell short of deceiving Half-Step Domain Ancestors or lord-level forbidden insects.

Time flowed onward. In what felt like the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

On this particular day.

Ye Tian made preparations to infiltrate the forbidden insects' lair once more. His strategy relied on evading close encounters with lord-level forbidden insects, which would prevent detection. This approach granted him more valuable time to assess the internal conditions of the nest, a stark contrast to his swift demise during his prior attempt.
