Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1150: A Slaughter!

TL: Etude

At the Fireflame Forbidden Zone stood a mountain shaped like a gourd, surrounded by rivers of magma. The mountain’s surface bore intricate rules, manifesting as clouds of forbidden law.

Suddenly.

Two figures arrived: Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er.

“This is the place!” Ouyang Jiu’er pointed to the gourd-shaped mountain ahead.

Ye Tian extended his spiritual sense to investigate but didn’t find the Haotian Imperial Mirror. However, he did detect numerous forbidden wondrous objects.

“The Haotian Imperial Mirror isn’t on the mountain but within the rule clouds. It contains an immense inner space. Once we go in, we’ll see for ourselves!” Ouyang Jiu’er explained.

With a swoosh, Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er flew into the clouds of law, arriving in a vast, enclosed space.

In this space, a colossal black-gold mirror floated mid-air, connected to the laws of heaven and earth.

It stood there, seemingly natural, with no sign of external interference.

“If you hadn’t told me, Jiu’er, even if I saw this Haotian Imperial Mirror, I’d think it was born here naturally. I would never guess that someone placed it here,” Ye Tian murmured.

Ouyang Jiu’er replied, “The Haotian Imperial Mirror is an exceedingly secret forbidden treasure of the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Even some emperors there aren’t aware of its existence. After all, activating it requires a steep price. The palace wouldn’t sacrifice countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors just to help a single Dao Ancestor in their path forward! If this treasure’s existence were known, even the palace’s emperors might harbor ill intentions. If I didn’t have special information sources, I wouldn’t know that the Heavenly Emperor Palace possesses the Haotian Imperial Mirror either!”

“Let’s begin. I suspect this place will soon be exposed. Even if no one finds it, the Heavenly Emperor Palace might cause a small disturbance here, which would undoubtedly attract countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors! Then, we’d have a problem!” Ouyang Jiu’er urged.

“Alright!” Ye Tian then took out the bodies of numerous True Ancestors and some Dao Ancestors he’d collected, offering them in sacrifice before the Haotian Imperial Mirror.

On the other side, Ouyang Jiu’er also began the ritual, sacrificing the corpses of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors.

Boom!

The Haotian Imperial Mirror emitted a brilliant light, continuously absorbing the blood and life force of these powerful figures.

Suddenly.

Ye Tian began to see scenes related to his cultivation path play out in the Haotian Imperial Mirror. These images felt as vivid as reality, showing him possible futures and ultimately guiding him to a path best suited for him.

Of course, it wasn’t a vision of the real future—merely a pointer toward the correct path for cultivation.

But this was more beneficial than seeing the future itself; at least he wouldn’t stray from his course. Not everyone’s future followed the correct path; many lost their way.

Ye Tian saw himself continually comprehending forbidden Dao techniques, each forbidden Dao revealed one by one. Eventually, he fully mastered a complete forbidden Dao and fused it with his boundless Dao, creating his unique Infinite Forbidden Dao.

Then, he broke through to the Dao Ancestor realm with his Infinite Forbidden Dao.

Later, he created a forbidden Dao technique of his own, transcending even the strongest Dao techniques, unrivaled in the world, becoming the mightiest, Invincible Dao Ancestor.

After that, he grasped a sliver of the mysteries of the Domain Ancestor, progressing further toward Half-Step Domain Ancestor through endless cultivation.

But suddenly, the vision vanished, and the insights abruptly ceased.

The countless corpses had already turned to ashes; the sacrificial power was exhausted, severing his view of the future path.

The feeling of being cut off so abruptly was infuriating! At that moment, Ye Tian felt an urge to slaughter countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors just to resume witnessing his future path.

But he soon regained his composure.

“Phew, no wonder Jiu’er said that once the Haotian Imperial Mirror appears, countless True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors would fall to their deaths. The mirror’s allure is overwhelming. Even I, a Supreme True Ancestor with no anxiety about the future, nearly lost myself to it. For those strongest Dao Ancestors who cannot see their future path, it will drive them mad.

“Invincible Dao Ancestors might even want to kill stronger Dao Ancestors. A single body of a top-tier Dao Ancestor is worth countless True Ancestor corpses. Those same top-tier Dao Ancestors would spare no effort to slay other True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors—simply to extend their path forward!” Ye Tian thought silently.

Meanwhile.

Ouyang Jiu’er, having completed her own future insight, looked pleased, clearly in a great mood.

“Let’s go, we’ll continue collecting bodies! But stay calm, don’t make a move—we’re only here to gather the corpses of the slain True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors!” Ouyang Jiu’er suggested.

“Alright!” Ye Tian nodded.

He had already calmed down and wouldn’t act recklessly.

After Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er left, a True Ancestor arrived and discovered the Haotian Imperial Mirror. Attempting to take it, they found they couldn’t move it at all.

Before long, word of the Haotian Imperial Mirror, this forbidden treasure, spread, drawing in a flood of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors, and even attracting the attention of some Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.

Before the Haotian Imperial Mirror.

A group of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors gathered, each restraining themselves, creating a seemingly harmonious atmosphere. After all, they couldn’t take the Haotian Imperial Mirror by force, so fighting was pointless.

Boom!!! The first Pinnacle Dao Ancestor descended—Dao Ancestor Tianxiu from the Myriad Domains Divine Hall.

Then, one by one, Dao Ancestors of remarkable strength arrived: Dao Ancestors Tianwei, Tianqi, Void Cleaver, Silver Slasher, Blood Demon, Ten Kills, Secret Sword, Myriad Swords, Eight Clouds… All of them tried to seize the Haotian Imperial Mirror, only to discover they couldn’t move this forbidden treasure, even with their combined might.

“This forbidden treasure is completely bound to this large-scale forbidden zone—it’s likely the most precious forbidden artifact here!” Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds remarked.

With that, they began studying the uses of this strange forbidden object.

When Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds poured his energy into the Haotian Imperial Mirror, he caught a glimpse of a future path.

Unfortunately, the energy depletion was too rapid, so he stopped channeling his power.

“This is a forbidden treasure that can reveal one’s future path!” Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds was overwhelmed with excitement.

He knew exactly what this meant: he could use this forbidden treasure to see the path toward becoming an Invincible Dao Ancestor, or even the road to Half-Step Domain Ancestor. The future seemed bright, free from any limitations. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Immediately, he grew frantic… He understood that this forbidden treasure needed a certain type of energy. As long as this energy was sufficient, the mirror could continue to function indefinitely.

He attempted to infuse the Haotian Imperial Mirror with Forbidden Dao Stones, but it was futile.

Soon, he figured it out.

The Haotian Imperial Mirror required energy infused with life force, but he alone couldn’t meet the mirror’s energy demands.

Instantly, he turned his gaze toward the True Ancestors and weaker Dao Ancestors around him.

Boom!!! Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds attacked the True Ancestors, sending threads of Dao power that easily pierced their bodies.

One by one, the True Ancestors fell, thousands perishing in mere moments.

“Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds, have you gone mad?” the other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors shouted in fury.

Among the slain True Ancestors were members from their sects; Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds was effectively declaring war on them! However, Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds ignored them, continuing his slaughter of True Ancestors, and even killed a few Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors, gathering their corpses.

Moments later, another Pinnacle Dao Ancestor—Dao Ancestor Secret Sword—joined in, not to stop Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds, but to kill the True Ancestors himself.

At this point, the other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, no matter how foolish, quickly understood. Reflecting on the actions of Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds and Dao Ancestor Secret Sword, they finally comprehended the Haotian Imperial Mirror’s effect.

In an instant, the True Ancestors became their targets. Even when disciples from their own sects were killed, they remained indifferent.

Compared to the path to their future, nothing else held greater significance.

The True Ancestors and weaker Dao Ancestors attempted to flee, but there was no escape.

The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors swiftly slaughtered all of the True Ancestors and Fifth and Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestors.

Then.

They began to offer the corpses as sacrifices to the Haotian Imperial Mirror, activating its power to reveal their future paths.

One by one, they glimpsed the correct path to becoming Invincible Dao Ancestors, flooded with insights that allowed them to fully understand how to advance toward invincibility.

Of course.

Since the supply of True and Dao Ancestor corpses was limited, their future paths did not extend to the Half-Step Domain Ancestor level.

Thus, the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors turned their gazes on one another.

“We don’t need to kill each other. Killing a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor is no easy task, and who knows how long it would take to determine a victor. Why don’t we leave, hunt down enough True Ancestors and ordinary Dao Ancestors, and then return? What do you say?” Dao Ancestor Eight Clouds proposed.

“Agreed!”

The other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors responded in unison.

In the days that followed, countless True Ancestors within the Fireflame Forbidden Zone faced a catastrophe, continuously hunted and killed by the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Some even perished suddenly while merely walking.

Ye Tian and Ouyang Jiu’er witnessed this massacre but couldn’t intervene.

The Haotian Imperial Mirror’s allure was too powerful; no one could ignore it. Only a Half-Step Domain Ancestor could resist its appeal.

Before long, the Invincible Dao Ancestors also heard of the Haotian Imperial Mirror. One after another, they descended upon the Fireflame Forbidden Zone, instantly escalating the battles to new heights.
