Your Talent is Mine Chapter 1208: Rapid Advancement!

Centuries elapsed as Ye Tian dedicated his existence to the pursuit of hunting arcane insects and advancing his cultivation. The depth of his cultivation realm steadily progressed, concurrently enhancing his physical prowess, the might of his Forbidden Dao Force, and the strength of his soul power.

In the span of a mere 300 years, the landscape of power had shifted dramatically. A considerable number of Dao Ancestors had met their demise, yet an equal number had ascended to prominence. Among these newcomers, six achieved the status of Invincible Dao Ancestors, with the Wind King being one such figure.

The Wind King, having meticulously amassed power over time, shattered his limitations within the Profound Void Archaic Realm. This feat was accomplished through the sacrifice of countless forbidden insect carcasses, propelling him to the ranks of an Invincible Dao Ancestor, his strength instantaneously eclipsing his former capabilities.

Furthermore, the emergence of numerous new Dao Ancestors ensured a stable equilibrium in their numbers across the major strongholds, thereby preserving the balance of their respective forces.

The primary source of vexation for the Dao Ancestors was the alarming rate at which the Forbidden Insect Race was reproducing. Despite the extermination of nearly ten million of these creatures—a number nearly matching their original population—the race's numbers had rebounded, once again surpassing the ten million mark. Their prolificacy made complete eradication seem an insurmountable task.

Fortunately, while the count of commander-level forbidden insects had climbed back, the quantity of lord-level forbidden insects remained stagnant.

This delicate equilibrium presented both formidable challenges and significant prospects for the major factions.

The advancements made by the Dao Ancestors in just 300 years dwarfed the progress achieved over the preceding 300,000 years. For those who relentlessly pursued greater strength, the Dark Forbidden Domain proved to be an exceptional crucible for self-improvement.

Moreover, the Profound Void Archaic Realm had undergone substantial expansion, attributed to the sacrifices of innumerable forbidden insects. Although portions of the Origin Power were distributed among several Dao Ancestors, the realm itself had magnified its power severalfold compared to its prior state.

It was a universally accepted notion that an Archaic Realm required an immense duration to mature. Yet, within a mere few millennia, this realm had amplified its potency manifold—a growth rate that was nothing short of terrifying.

At this tempo, it appeared almost inevitable that the Profound Void Archaic Realm would soon achieve ascension to the Ultimate Ancient Realm.

…

On a particular day, Ye Tian received news that brought him immense elation.

“Xingchen has attained the level of a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor!” Ye Tian exclaimed softly to himself.

He possessed intimate knowledge of his son’s cultivation journey and understood that Ye Xingchen had deferred his breakthrough until he had reached the absolute zenith of his current capabilities, finally ascending to become a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor.

Although Ye Xingchen had not yet comprehended a Forbidden Dao Technique, he had mastered a Pinnacle Dao Technique, which remained an extraordinary accomplishment in itself.

Ye Tian did not impose undue pressure on his son; after all, Ye Xingchen lacked a Forbidden Talent. To grasp a Forbidden Dao Technique while situated at the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor realm was virtually unfeasible! Nevertheless, Ye Xingchen's breakthrough positioned him far above the average Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, rivaling even a formidable Pinnacle Dao Ancestor such as the Fire King.

Following his breakthrough, Ye Xingchen swiftly ascended to become one of the Ten Kings of Blackwind Mountain, assuming the esteemed title of Earth King.

Regarding Xiao Yue, Ye Yu, and Ye Xingyue, they had all reached the pinnacle of the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor realm, possessing formidable combat capabilities.

Ye Tian himself had experienced substantial growth. His Forbidden Dao Force, physical strength, and soul power had all been augmented significantly beyond their state when he first attained Pinnacle Dao Ancestor status. This enhancement stemmed from his dedicated cultivation utilizing a multitude of forbidden wondrous objects and treasures procured from Blackwind Mountain.

Based on Ye Tian’s assessment, should he confront a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor like the Fire King, he could inflict severe damage with a single strike and secure victory within a few subsequent blows. Even when pitted against a lesser Invincible Dao Ancestor, he could maintain his ground. While victory might not be assured, his adversary would also find themselves incapable of defeating him.

What brought Ye Tian the greatest satisfaction was the remarkable advancement of the Human Race. As an illustration, his Nine Limits Legion had achieved tremendous progress within the Forbidden Void Realm, a place where time flowed at a thousandfold accelerated rate. This temporal advantage translated to a thousand times more cultivation time compared to those outside its influence.

Furthermore, Ye Tian had consistently, over the years, contributed forbidden wondrous objects that he no longer required, occasionally even bestowing forbidden insect carcasses for the members of the Nine Limits Legion to utilize in their sacrifices.

Consequently, every single member of the tens of thousands comprising the Nine Limits Legion had surpassed the True Ancestor level. Among them, ten had already attained the status of Invincible True Ancestors, over ten thousand were Pinnacle True Ancestors, and the vast majority of the remainder held the rank of Elite True Ancestors.

At the Dao Ancestor level, the Nine Limits Legion had expanded to several hundred members, with the majority being powerhouses beyond the Third Heaven Dao Ancestor stage. The most formidable had even reached the cultivation of the Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor.

This constituted the current strength of the Nine Limits Legion! The Human Race now boasted an even greater number of Dao Ancestors – thousands in total. Their collective numbers significantly surpassed those of most Middle Three Heavens factions and even outnumbered some Seventh Heaven forces.

However, Ye Tian had not devoted substantial resources to the other Dao Ancestors of the Human Race, resulting in their slower progression. Most of them remained at the Second or Third Heaven Dao Ancestor level.

One day.

While engaged in hunting forbidden insects within the Dark Forbidden Domain, Ye Tian abruptly received a communication.

“The Profound Void Archaic Realm has manifested a medium-sized Forbidden Void Realm!!!”

Upon this momentous news, Ye Tian immediately initiated his return to the Blackwind Mountain Base.

…

Blackwind Mountain Base.

Ye Tian, Ye Xingchen, the Fire King, the Ice King, the Time King, and the Wood King were all present. The Wind King, now known as Dao Ancestor Profound Wind, an Invincible Dao Ancestor, was also in attendance, along with other Invincible Dao Ancestors such as Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire. They had convened for this crucial meeting.

The meeting was expertly steered by Half-Step Domain Ancestors Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity and Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins.

During the proceedings, Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity addressed the assembly first: “I am confident you are all aware of the recent development. It is indeed true – a medium-sized Forbidden Void Realm has appeared within the Profound Void Archaic Realm. The inherent value of a medium-sized Forbidden Void Realm far eclipses that of its smaller counterpart.

Once a faction secures a medium-sized Forbidden Void Realm, Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, Invincible Dao Ancestors, and even Half-Step Domain Ancestors can utilize it for their cultivation. While it does not provide accelerated time flow, the cultivation environment within is absolutely unparalleled. Moreover, once a medium-sized Forbidden Void Realm is brought under control, it becomes virtually indestructible, rendering the controlling force almost invulnerable. For these critical reasons, all major factions will undoubtedly vie for its possession.”

Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins elaborated: “Due to the ongoing situation with the forbidden insects, we Half-Step Domain Ancestors will abstain from participating in the competition for the Forbidden Void Realm. Should we engage, it would inadvertently create an opportunity for the Forbidden Insect Race to assault our major bases, or even worse, launch an invasion into the Dao Mountain Domain.

“Furthermore, Invincible Dao Ancestors are essential for repelling the commander-level forbidden insects, thus they are also unable to abandon their posts. I strongly urge you Invincible Dao Ancestors not to transgress these established rules. We Half-Step Domain Ancestors have reached a unanimous agreement: if any Invincible Dao Ancestor attempts to forcefully enter the Forbidden Void Realm, we shall combine our might to eliminate them! To be clear, only Pinnacle Dao Ancestors are permitted to contend for it. Whichever force possesses the capability to claim the Forbidden Void Realm shall rightfully obtain it!”

The Invincible Dao Ancestors, upon hearing that they were prohibited from competing, experienced a profound sense of disappointment. Even if they were barred from capturing the Forbidden Void Realm itself, they could have contended for the numerous forbidden wondrous objects or even valuable Forbidden Supreme Treasures.

To their perspective, Forbidden Supreme Treasures held immense significance.

However, given the resolute stance taken by the Half-Step Domain Ancestors, the Invincible Dao Ancestors refrained from defiance, reluctantly acceding to the terms.
