Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1146: The Fire King’s Greedy Desire

TL: Etude

The Cangshan True Nation.

This was a small true nation, sparsely populated with mostly indigenous life forms. Its governing power came from the Fourth Heaven Force—the Cangshan Sect.

The Cangshan Sect had carved out a barren area in the Profound Void Ancient Realm, establishing this true nation to develop its influence. Although it struggled to recruit true talents, it managed to survive adequately in this humble domain.

But today, the Cangshan Sect and the Cangshan True Nation met their doom.

Boom! Void space was abruptly forced open, as an enormous Forbidden Treasure Land seemed to materialize out of thin air. It descended unexpectedly, crushing the Cangshan True Nation under its weight, covering the entire nation in one fell swoop.

The impact caused the Cangshan True Nation to shatter, and countless lives were swallowed by the Dark Forbidden Power, perishing in an instant.

The Dao Ancestors of Cangshan Sect were compelled to awaken and emerge, but before they could benefit from this Forbidden Treasure Land, numerous True Ancestors flooded the area, clashing immediately with Cangshan’s Dao Ancestors.

The Dao Ancestors, having just awoken, could not fully utilize their powers. Furthermore, the strongest Dao Ancestor in Cangshan Sect was merely a Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor. Thus, they were swiftly annihilated by the large numbers of True Ancestors.

In truth, Cangshan Sect’s destruction stemmed from sheer greed. Had they not tried to seize resources from this grand Forbidden Treasure Land, they might have survived.

News of this enormous Forbidden Treasure Land quickly spread across the entire Profound Void Ancient Realm, reaching countless forces, who then rushed over at top speed.

…

Heavenly Sea Sect.

Upon hearing the news, True Ancestor Hebo was thrilled. After reporting to the Dao Ancestors, he led a contingent of True Ancestors to the Forbidden Treasure Land.

The Limitless Sky Sect, the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, the Heavenly Sword Sect, Vajra City, Heavenly Saber Sect… One after another, Upper Three Heavens forces made their way to the enormous Forbidden Treasure Land.

This Forbidden Treasure Land was a world of magma and thus had earned the name Fireflame Forbidden Zone!

…

Blackwind Mountain.

Ye Tian, as a General Nine Limits, led General Bloodfiend, General Skyreaver, General Windstar, and numerous Peak Lords to descend upon the Fireflame Forbidden Zone. Some Generals even brought their legions along.

Ye Tian didn’t stop them.

Even if he advised caution, these Generals and Peak Lords might not have listened. Besides, if someone got lucky and gained a remarkable opportunity, wouldn’t his warning have ruined that person’s chance?

So he didn’t interfere; anyone who wanted to go was free to do so.

…

Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

Ye Tian and many True Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain arrived here and, without hesitation, entered the area.

The Fireflame Forbidden Zone was filled with magma, and the air was thick with violent Dark Forbidden Power, much more turbulent than the gentler dark powers of other Forbidden Zones.

Those without sufficient strength would likely die upon entry.

Suddenly—

Boom! A giant magma creature, as tall as a towering mountain, emerged from the magma, swinging a massive hand toward the True Ancestors.

“Die!”

General Bloodfiend struck, piercing the magma creature with his spear, killing it instantly.

Despite its death, the creature was no weakling. It belonged to a forbidden-bloodline species, with strength comparable to a top-tier True Ancestor.

Using his Copy Talent, Ye Tian scanned the area and discovered numerous magma creatures lurking within the magma fields. Nearly all of them had top-tier True Ancestor combat power. If a lone True Ancestor were ambushed, these creatures, with their home ground advantage, would pose a serious threat. If surrounded, there was a real risk of death.

“Let’s split up!” Ye Tian said.

In such a Forbidden Treasure Land, moving as a group provided safety but complicated resource distribution. At critical moments, there was no time to divide treasures fairly. Therefore, searching separately was the best choice.

Of course, all the True Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain maintained communication links.

If they encountered danger, they’d aid each other if possible. If not, there was nothing they could do.

Ye Tian set off on his own to search for forbidden wondrous objects.

Large Forbidden Treasure Lands always contained a wealth of forbidden wondrous objects, with at least a dozen Forbidden Supreme Treasures within. Finding even one would be incredibly profitable.

However, if one found a Forbidden Supreme Treasure and was discovered, it also meant becoming a target for others.

This enormous Forbidden Treasure Land was vast—appearing from the outside to be as large as a small true nation, and within, comparable to a large true nation, not much smaller than the True Nation of Void Sky. Such a vast Forbidden Treasure Land could only hint at the untold resources and treasures within. The value of this place exceeded the wildest imaginations of any Upper Three Heavens force.

One item, two items, three items… Within a few days, Ye Tian had already found over thirty forbidden wondrous objects, as though they were unusually common here. He even discovered several high-tier forbidden wondrous objects.

And it wasn’t just Ye Tian who found plenty; other True Ancestors collected a great deal of forbidden wondrous objects as well. It was clear just how abundant these treasures were here.

All the True Ancestors had gone mad. Nearly every top-tier and higher-ranked True Ancestor across the Profound Void Ancient Realm had gathered here.

Inside the Fireflame Forbidden Zone, battles raged everywhere.

Countless True Ancestors fought and killed each other to seize forbidden wondrous objects. After all, killing a single True Ancestor could yield several forbidden wondrous objects, if not more.

Pinnacle True Ancestors slaughtered top-tier True Ancestors, Invincible True Ancestors hunted Pinnacle True Ancestors, and sometimes multiple Invincible True Ancestors would gang up on a single foe. Chaos reigned.

Ye Tian understood this was only the beginning. On the sixth day, the first Forbidden Supreme Treasure finally emerged.

In a volcanic magma zone within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

Three Pinnacle True Ancestors discovered a black-and-red fire lotus here. Forbidden rules coiled around it, and potent forbidden origin qi emanated from it, transforming the area into an ideal cultivation ground.

Forbidden origin qi was a mark of a Forbidden Supreme Treasure. Therefore, this fire lotus was indeed a Forbidden Supreme Treasure, containing the forbidden origin of fire—a precious asset for any Dao Ancestor following the path of fire.

Regardless of its specific function, a single Forbidden Supreme Treasure was enough to drive anyone to madness.

Thus, the three Pinnacle True Ancestors began a fierce struggle, each determined to seize the treasure.

Soon, word of this reached the others.

In no time, True Ancestors from across the Fireflame Forbidden Zone swarmed toward the site.

…

Outside the Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

One by one, Dao Ancestors began to appear, unable to restrain themselves any longer.

Among them were not only Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors, but also quite a few Seventh Heaven and even a few Eighth Heaven Dao Ancestors.

Boom! The Dao Ancestors descended outside the Fireflame Forbidden Zone. Many could sense that the oppressive rules of the Profound Void Ancient Realm had weakened significantly. Though they still couldn’t unleash their full strength, they could at least remain within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone for extended periods without a drastic power drop.

In the past, if a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor emerged, their strength would diminish drastically if they didn’t return to slumber within a few hours. Now, they could even stay for a year without suffering a major loss of strength.

Many Dao Ancestors were thrilled.

Some of the weaker Dao Ancestors avoided competing for Forbidden Supreme Treasures, as such items attracted only the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Instead, they set their sights on other treasures.

For example, high-grade forbidden wondrous objects and top-tier forbidden wondrous objects, both of immense value.

When Dao Ancestors encountered True Ancestors from other factions, they struck without a word.

As a result, many weaker True Ancestors met a miserable fate, ambushed one after another by Dao Ancestors.

Of course, some Dao Ancestors were killed by True Ancestors, though such cases were rare.

Birthplace of the Forbidden Fire Lotus.

The three Pinnacle True Ancestors had not yet settled their battle when a wave of Invincible True Ancestors arrived, instantly slaughtering the three Pinnacle True Ancestors.

However, before these Invincible True Ancestors could claim the Forbidden Fire Lotus, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors arrived.

The Invincible True Ancestors quickly backed away, unwilling to become involved. After all, any one of these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors could easily kill them.

Naturally, these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were also the elders of the Invincible True Ancestors’ sects, and since they were after the Forbidden Supreme Treasure, they didn’t bother attacking the onlooking Invincible True Ancestors.

The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from Heavenly Sea Sect, Limitless Sky Sect, Myriad Domains Divine Hall, and Blackwind Mountain had all arrived.

Blackwind Mountain’s Fire King eyed the Forbidden Fire Lotus with undisguised greed.

“Wind King, you have to help me. This Forbidden Fire Lotus would be a great boon to me. I have this feeling it could help me advance to the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm!” Fire King said.

“Of course I’ll help you, but don’t get your hopes up too high. If reaching the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm were so easy, I would’ve advanced already!” Wind King replied.

“Still… this is a chance I have to fight for!” Fire King said through clenched teeth.

His talent, strength, and luck all fell short of Wind King’s.

If he missed this chance, he didn’t know if he’d ever again have the hope of advancing to Invincible Dao Ancestor.

Thus, to seize this Forbidden Fire Lotus, he would stop at nothing, even if it meant using forbidden techniques!
