Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1138: Pinnacle True Ancestor - Ye Xingchen!

TL: Etude

For the first time, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue found themselves in a place where so many True Ancestors gathered. Though they’d often roamed the outside world, they’d only visited small regions before. Even in major cities, they rarely encountered many powerful figures.

Now, in this colossal temporary city known as the Vajra True Nation, a vast number of True Ancestors had assembled, including numerous Pinnacle True Ancestors and Invincible True Ancestors. The sheer intensity of their auras created a suffocating pressure.

In their previous travels, Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue had always believed they were strong; after all, there were rarely any individuals more powerful than them wherever they went. But here, there were countless True Ancestors far stronger than they were.

The dense, unyielding auras of Invincible True Ancestors and Pinnacle True Ancestors surged skyward like pillars of energy, as if intimidating everyone around them.

“I never imagined that the Profound Void Ancient Realm held so many Pinnacle and Invincible True Ancestors,” Ye Xingchen murmured.

The human race was indeed powerful now, but their number of Pinnacle True Ancestors remained relatively low. Most belonged to the Nine Limits Legion, while others had been cultivated by his father, Ye Tian, or were True Ancestors who maintained favorable ties with him.

Yet, compared to the vast assembly here, those Pinnacle True Ancestors were nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

In that moment, the slightly prideful hearts of Ye Xingchen and Ye Xingyue settled down, realizing that their current strength was far from worthy of arrogance.

This temporary city had been named the Myriad Ancestors City.

True Ancestors swarmed into the Myriad Ancestors City, though the majority were merely spectators and were not under ten million years old.

In fact, True Ancestors under ten million years old were rare. For example, the human race could barely muster a few dozen, and most of them were ordinary True Ancestors who dared not participate, as it would surely mean their death.

In half a month, nearly every True Ancestor who could come had arrived. Those unable to attend still observed the True Ancestor Battle through various channels.

The battleground for the selection of ten thousand True Ancestors lay within the Myriad Ancestors City, a realm created jointly by the major powers. Even with an influx of True Ancestors, this world would remain unbroken—its durability far exceeded that of the True Nation.

On this day…

True Ancestors under ten million years old gradually passed through inspections and entered this realm.

“So many people… there are over three million True Ancestors!” Ye Tian remarked, somewhat surprised.

He knew that the Profound Void Ancient Realm had a considerable number of True Ancestors, far more than in the past. In recent millions of years, countless talents had emerged, causing the population of True Ancestors to increase manifold.

For instance, the human race alone now had close to a million True Ancestors, not to mention the True Ancestors of the Void Sky True Nation and the Great Divine Hall, and other powerful factions were no exception.

The number of forces within the Profound Void Ancient Realm was beyond Ye Tian’s calculation. While individual factions might have few True Ancestors under ten million years old, the accumulated total was immense.

Once the three million True Ancestors entered the realm, they dispersed across the vast landscape. Even though the realm was spacious, the strength of a True Ancestor’s spiritual sense made hiding almost impossible.

The slaughter soon began! True Ancestors of the same faction joined forces to encircle and kill others, but if a more powerful True Ancestor targeted them, an entire faction could be wiped out.

At every moment, countless True Ancestors fell. Weaker ones, gripped by fear, disregarded the commands of their factions and fled from the battlefield, unwilling to continue the fight.

But upon returning, would they fare well in their factions?

Suddenly, a True Ancestor unleashed a power comparable to that of a Pinnacle True Ancestor, instantly slaughtering multiple elite True Ancestors, shocking everyone.

“Who is that? Achieving Pinnacle True Ancestor status in under ten million years—how heaven defying!”

An Invincible True Ancestor exclaimed in awe.

Ye Tian looked over, using his Copy Talent to investigate, quickly understanding the figure’s background.

“A True Ancestor of the Purple Mist Sect!” Ye Tian murmured.

According to the information from his Copy Talent, this True Ancestor was named Ming Yu and was regarded as a top talent within the Profound Void Ancient Realm. However, just a hundred years ago, he had been merely an elite True Ancestor.

In a mere century, he had risen from the level of a top-tier True Ancestor to Pinnacle True Ancestor, an impossible feat through ordinary means.

Moreover, based on the energy of his life force, though vast and radiant, it resembled a setting sun—its final rays shining before its demise.

“He’s using a method that depletes his potential and life force to forcibly enhance his strength; his days are numbered.” Ye Tian shook his head.

It was evident that some factions were resorting to such desperate measures.

And undoubtedly, the Purple Mist Sect was not the only one. Other factions were surely following this path as well.

Ye Tian noticed this, and soon, the other True Ancestors began to notice it too.

The Invincible True Ancestors were no fools. They quickly deduced the reason behind the sudden surge in Pinnacle True Ancestors, especially since some among them were even involved in creating such True Ancestors. Soon after, more and more Pinnacle True Ancestors emerged, shocking everyone present.

In a remote corner of the realm…

Ye Xingchen encountered a Pinnacle True Ancestor, and many witnessed this clash.

Because of Ye Tian’s immense fame, Ye Tian’s son, Ye Xingchen, was also known by some of the True Ancestors.

“True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, it seems your son may be in danger!” sneered Sword Sovereign Golden Light of the Heavenly Sword Sect, his gaze holding a hint of provocation.

This was because the Pinnacle True Ancestor who’d run into Ye Xingchen belonged to the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect had suffered considerable losses at Ye Tian’s hands in the past, with numerous Pinnacle and top-tier True Ancestors falling to him.

Thus, Sword Sovereign Golden Light held a strong grudge against Ye Tian.

Of course, he didn’t dare openly provoke Ye Tian, as Ye Tian could kill him effortlessly.

But this time, since Ye Xingchen had happened upon a Pinnacle True Ancestor from the Heavenly Sword Sect, it couldn’t be pinned on him.

He doubted that Ye Xingchen possessed the power to rival a Pinnacle True Ancestor. He had heard of Ye Xingchen and acknowledged his high talent and potential; young as he was, he had already reached the level of a top-tier True Ancestor through his own cultivation, rather than by forceful enhancement.

Still, even so, Ye Xingchen wouldn’t be able to become a Pinnacle True Ancestor in such a short time unless Ye Tian were willing to sacrifice his son’s potential—which was highly unlikely.

Thus, Ye Xingchen’s battle prowess was, at best, on par with a top-tier True Ancestor. Even with some trump cards, he could perhaps resist a Pinnacle True Ancestor briefly but would ultimately be killed.

Moreover, the Pinnacle True Ancestor from the Heavenly Sword Sect had his own hidden cards, including a mid-grade forbidden wondrous artifact capable of unleashing a forbidden strike.

“It’s a bit early to say that,” Ye Tian replied calmly. “Perhaps it’s your sect’s Sword Sovereign Flashing Light who’ll be in danger.”

Inside the realm…

Ye Xingchen and Sword Sovereign Flashing Light faced each other. Upon seeing Ye Xingchen, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light’s expression shifted—he recognized him.

“Ye Xingchen, the direct son of the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws. If I kill him, the Heavenly Sword Sect will reward me handsomely!” Sword Sovereign Flashing Light exclaimed, his excitement evident.

He didn’t worry about offending the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian. His own time was short; he would likely die shortly after leaving the Forbidden Treasure Land and would need the Heavenly Sword Sect’s aid to reincarnate. What did he have to fear from Ye Tian once he’d reincarnated with a new identity? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Besides, if he achieved such a great merit, the Heavenly Sword Sect would undoubtedly reward him and nurture his new incarnation, potentially enabling him to surpass his current life and become a true Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, rather than a forcefully enhanced Pinnacle True Ancestor.

Yet, most True Ancestors didn’t know that exhausting one’s potential and life force to reach higher power would ruin one’s foundation, making it difficult for reincarnation to erase such effects. Their second life would possess only limited potential, hindering further growth.

Ye Tian understood this but chose not to disclose it, as nearly all the major factions exploited their talents in this way. Besides, even if he spoke out, it was uncertain anyone would believe him, and it would merely antagonize every faction.

Unaware of any of this, Sword Sovereign Flashing Light continued to indulge in his fantasy.

“Die!” he shouted, launching a powerful Dao technique, the Flashing Cross Sword Technique, a signature technique renowned for its incredible power.

However, at that moment, a celestial light radiated from Ye Xingchen, forming a defensive barrier, a Dao technique perfectly attuned to his own Star Dao—Starlight Canopy Technique! Sword Sovereign Flashing Light’s attack landed on the barrier, yet failed to break its defense.

“What?! You’re also a Pinnacle True Ancestor!” Sword Sovereign Flashing Light exclaimed in shock.

He wasn’t the only one stunned; Sword Sovereign Golden Light and many other Invincible True Ancestors stared at Ye Tian in disbelief.

“True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, you must have sacrificed your son’s potential to do this!” Sword Sovereign Golden Light said, astonished.

Ye Tian fixed him with a look of disdain. “Sword Sovereign Golden Light, are you a fool? Do you think I forcibly boosted my son’s power? He achieved this strength on his own without burning any potential. If you can’t even see that, then maybe your so-called ‘Invincible True Ancestor’ strength is just something forcibly elevated.”

The other Invincible True Ancestors carefully examined Ye Xingchen and discovered that his foundation was exceptionally solid, clearly not the result of forced enhancement.

Moreover, Ye Xingchen’s True Ancestral Force even contained traces of the Dark Forbidden Power.

Instantly, the Invincible True Ancestors’ envy surged.
