Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1149: Ouyang Jiu’er Arrives!

TL: Etude

Dao Ancestor Tianxiu knew he couldn’t kill Ye Tian, but he didn’t want to let him escape either.

It was a Forbidden Supreme Treasure! Although he didn’t know exactly which one, how could he simply give up on it? Dao Ancestor Tianxiu moved swiftly, chasing after Ye Tian.

Ye Tian used the Tiangang Extreme Speed technique, but as a Middle Thousand Dao technique, its speed was limited. Even cultivated to its peak, it wasn’t exceptionally fast.

However, Dao Ancestor Tianxiu was different. He possessed a Pinnacle Dao technique, enabling him to move incredibly fast. Soon, he caught up with Ye Tian, and they clashed in fierce combat again.

By this time, other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were closing in.

“I can’t let Dao Ancestor Tianxiu hold me here. If the others arrive, I won’t be able to escape!” Ye Tian muttered with a frown.

Though his strength was on par with Dao Ancestor Tianxiu, he was actually slightly weaker. His Forbidden Body had been refined to sixty percent completion, while Dao Ancestor Tianxiu’s was only at the minor accomplishment level. This allowed Ye Tian to absorb more of the impact from attacks, making it possible for him to go toe-to-toe with Dao Ancestor Tianxiu.

In reality, however, his speed was inferior to Dao Ancestor Tianxiu’s, and his attack power was slightly weaker.

Based on this disparity, it was nearly impossible for Ye Tian to shake him off.

Boom! Another Pinnacle Dao Ancestor descended—a figure of great renown, Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds from the Heavenly Sword Sect, who was even stronger than Dao Ancestor Tianxiu.

“Dao Ancestor Tianxiu, do you have the Forbidden Supreme Treasure?” Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds demanded.

“Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds, can’t you see I’m blocking his escape? The Forbidden Supreme Treasure is on him!” Dao Ancestor Tianxiu replied coldly.

Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds immediately joined the fray, and together, the two Pinnacle Dao Ancestors easily suppressed Ye Tian, wounding him repeatedly.

Suddenly, another Pinnacle Dao Ancestor’s aura approached, and Ye Tian realized he couldn’t delay any longer.

He pulled out a leaf—this was none other than the Forbidden Void Leaf, a forbidden escape-type wondrous object, one of the highest-value forbidden items he possessed, and one he’d been reluctant to use until now. But now he had no choice.

With a swipe, the Forbidden Void Leaf transformed into a barrier of forbidden rules that wrapped around Ye Tian, instantly tearing through the space of the Forbidden Zone, allowing him to escape. His speed was so fast that neither Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds nor Dao Ancestor Tianxiu could stop him.

“Hmph, an escape-type forbidden treasure? We have them too!”

Both Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds and Dao Ancestor Tianxiu also pulled out similar escape-type forbidden objects, continuing their relentless pursuit of Ye Tian.

Ye Tian had underestimated these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. To reach such a level, they were powerful without significant weaknesses, and their abilities were highly versatile. Escaping from one was nearly impossible! In one section of the Fireflame Forbidden Zone, Ye Tian’s figure appeared, only to leave immediately.

However, the pursuit abilities of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors were too strong. Almost instantly, they tracked him down and sensed his position again, continuing the chase.

To the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, Ye Tian’s attempts to use concealment techniques were futile. He couldn’t hope to escape.

Soon, news spread that Ye Tian had seized a Forbidden Supreme Treasure, and many powerful figures became aware of it.

…

Elsewhere in the Fireflame Forbidden Zone…

Generals Bloodfiend, General Skyreaver, and others heard about the situation and frowned with concern.

“General Nine Limits is being hunted by multiple Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. This is dangerous…” General Bloodfiend muttered.

“Can we ask Wind King and the others to aid General Nine Limits?” General Skyreaver asked.

“No,” General Bloodfiend shook his head. “I tried to contact Wind King. He’s already returned to Blackwind Mountain and said he won’t get involved this time. He even advised us to leave if possible and not get caught up in the Fireflame Forbidden Zone’ battles.

“But how can we give up? There are so many forbidden items here. We could find countless treasures if we just searched a bit.”

General Skyreaver sighed as well. They couldn’t give up, but with Wind King refusing to join, there was no way to support General Nine Limits.

“He’ll have to rely on himself,” General Bloodfiend said with a sigh.

Time passed, and the number of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors pursuing Ye Tian grew. Of course, not all of them joined the hunt. The Fireflame Forbidden Zone held numerous forbidden treasures, and as more emerged, some of the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors branched off to claim them.

However, Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds and Dao Ancestor Tianxiu were relentless, continuing their pursuit of Ye Tian, forcing him to use many forbidden objects without shaking them off.

Suddenly, as Ye Tian darted through the space, a soft, fair hand grabbed hold of him.

Ye Tian prepared to resist, but sensing a familiar aura, he stopped at once.

“Jiu’er!”

Ye Tian looked at the person before him and called out in surprise.

“Hide your aura as much as possible, and I’ll use the Shadowless Divine Step. This way, even the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors won’t be able to sense your presence!” Ouyang Jiu’er said hurriedly.

“Alright!” Ye Tian nodded.

With Ye Tian’s aura vanishing completely, and the help of the Shadowless Divine Step, it was as if he no longer existed in this world—there was no trace of his presence or past actions left. No causal connections nor time-space Dao techniques could detect his existence.

Swish, swish, swish! Dao Ancestors Bayun and Tianxiu descended into the area, yet couldn’t sense Ye Tian’s presence. They tried several tracking techniques, but to no avail, and frowned in frustration.

“How can this be? How could General Nine Limits’s aura just vanish?” Dao Ancestor Tianxiu wondered.

“I can’t find him either!” Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds replied. “Could he have… fallen?”

“Impossible!” Dao Ancestor Tianxiu quickly retorted, “His strength isn’t far below ours, and he’s a Supreme True Ancestor. Even with severe injuries, he can recover using origin force, which is inexhaustible. He wouldn’t be killed so easily—not without a Domain Ancestor attacking!”

“He probably used some kind of treasure he’d been reluctant to use before, something to completely conceal himself,” guessed Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds.

Unable to locate Ye Tian, the two Pinnacle Dao Ancestors didn’t want to waste any more time, so they left to pursue other Forbidden Supreme Treasures.

“Jiu’er, thank you!” Ye Tian said gratefully.

If it hadn’t been for Ouyang Jiu’er this time, he would’ve been in deep trouble. Although it wouldn’t have meant his death, he might have lost this cloned body along with a significant number of forbidden items and a Forbidden Supreme Treasure.

“I came as soon as I heard about you. You’re brave, you know that? You knew Forbidden Supreme Treasures are what Pinnacle Dao Ancestors fight over, yet you dared to seize one. Did you think you were me, able to evade the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors’ tracking so easily?” Ouyang Jiu’er teased, rolling her eyes.

“I didn’t go to seize it, really! But the Forbidden Supreme Treasure just appeared right in front of me. If I hadn’t taken it, wouldn’t that have been plain foolish?” Ye Tian explained.

“Enough about that for now,” Ouyang Jiu’er said mysteriously. “I’ve pinpointed where the Forbidden Supreme Treasure stored in the Heavenly Emperor Palace within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone is located!”

“You found it?” Ye Tian’s interest was piqued. “Can we take it?”

“We can’t. Unless we pack up the entire Fireflame Forbidden Zone!” Ouyang Jiu’er joked.

Ye Tian continued, “Isn’t that Forbidden Supreme Treasure supposed to reveal future paths? Shouldn’t we go and activate it to glimpse our own future paths?”

“No,” Ouyang Jiu’er replied. “That Forbidden Supreme Treasure is called the Haotian Imperial Mirror. Activating it requires a large amount of blood from True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors. Relying on personal power alone wouldn’t last long.

Recently, many True Ancestors have fallen, and I’ve been… collecting corpses. You should gather some as well. Corpses of forbidden bloodline creatures will also work. Once we have enough, we can offer them to the Haotian Imperial Mirror!”

“Understood,” Ye Tian nodded.

Then, the two of them continued through the Fireflame Forbidden Zone, collecting forbidden items as well as blood from the corpses of True Ancestors, Dao Ancestors, and forbidden bloodline creatures.

Time passed, and another day went by.

By now, nine Forbidden Supreme Treasures had surfaced within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone.

Ye Tian had seized one, Ouyang Jiu’er had previously acquired another, the Fire King had taken one, the Heavenly Sea Sect had obtained one, the Myriad Domains Divine Hall had claimed one, and the Limitless Sky Sect had secured one as well.

As for the whereabouts of the other three Forbidden Supreme Treasures, no one knew.

“Big Brother Ye, we should hurry to the Haotian Imperial Mirror. Now that most of the Forbidden Supreme Treasures have appeared, the Heavenly Emperor Palace could reveal the Haotian Imperial Mirror at any time and initiate their plan. We need to use it before they do!” urged Ouyang Jiu’er.

Without delay, the two set out, moving quickly toward the location of the Haotian Imperial Mirror.
