TL: Etude

In the Forbidden Void Realm, Ye Tian immersed himself in cultivation, allowing him to possess a thousandfold increase in time compared to others.

Quickly.

He retrieved the corpses of several forbidden insects, offering them as sacrifices to the Profound Void Archaic Realm’s origin.

Subsequently, the Profound Void Archaic Realm bestowed upon him the power of origin, drastically enhancing Ye Tian’s cultivation speed once again.

Before entering closed-door cultivation, he fused the two Forbidden Talents he had obtained. The Forbidden Talent: Dark Spear became even more formidable, but the one that intrigued Ye Tian most was the Forbidden Talent Concealment. This talent was extremely practical; once deployed, it allowed him to perfectly blend into the void of the Dark Forbidden Domain.

With his current strength, utilizing the Forbidden Talent Concealment would make it almost impossible for even Invincible Dao Ancestors or commander-level forbidden insects to sense his presence. Only Half-Step Domain Ancestors could truly perceive him.

“Concealment!”

Ye Tian’s figure vanished, perfectly merging into the void of the Forbidden Void Realm.

Immediately, he traversed the Forbidden Void Realm, passing by many Dao Ancestors. He even walked past his wife, Xiao Yue, yet she remained unaware of his presence.

“This ability is excellent. It will provide greater assurance when I enter the Dark Forbidden Domain in the future,” Ye Tian murmured.

Next, he devoted himself entirely to cultivation. While a century passed in the outside world, Ye Tian cultivated for an incomparably long time in the Forbidden Void Realm. His physical strength, Forbidden Dao Force, and soul power had all reached the limits of a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor. If he didn’t break through the bottleneck, further improvement would be impossible.

Moreover, he was on the verge of comprehending his Forbidden Dao Technique.

Ye Tian made his decision—once he fully grasped the Forbidden Dao Technique, he would immediately attempt to break into the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm.

Time flew by. Another fifty years passed in the outside world, and Ye Tian finally comprehended his own Forbidden Dao Technique within the Forbidden Void Realm.

In the void of the Forbidden Void Realm, Ye Tian stood in an empty expanse. With a wave of his hand, a black spear radiating terrifying forbidden laws appeared.

Whoosh! The void was pierced by the black spear, its power far surpassing that of an ordinary Forbidden Spear.

This technique contained the unique forbidden rules of a Dao Technique—it was a Forbidden Dao Technique.

Undoubtedly, the technique Ye Tian displayed qualified as a Forbidden Dao Technique, surpassing Pinnacle Dao Techniques. However, it was still considered a low-tier Forbidden Dao Technique in the eyes of Half-Step Domain Ancestors, likely deemed unworthy by their standards.

Yet, for Ye Tian, creating such a Forbidden Dao Technique was already a monumental accomplishment.

“If others knew I skipped creating a single Supreme Technique and went straight to devising a Forbidden Dao Technique surpassing Pinnacle Dao Techniques, they’d probably be stunned!” Ye Tian said with a chuckle.

Of course, he could still create a Pinnacle Dao Technique, but there was no need. It wouldn’t significantly boost his strength; only a Forbidden Dao Technique could grant him explosive power.

For example, although he hadn’t yet reached the Dao Ancestor realm, his combat strength already surpassed that of an ordinary Pinnacle Dao Ancestor, rivaling someone like Dao Ancestor Blue Sky.

Once he stepped into the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm, his combat prowess might directly soar to the level of the Wind King.

“This Forbidden Dao Technique was comprehended based on the Forbidden Talent: Dark Spear. I’ll name it Dark Limit Dao Spear!” Ye Tian chose.

Next, Ye Tian intended to break through and ascend to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm.

He stepped out of the Forbidden Void Realm, returning to the Human Race’s domain to begin seclusion and focus on his breakthrough into the ranks of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors.

Time passed day by day.

On this day.

The void within the Human Race’s domain surged and roiled. Streams of Grand Dao rules permeated the air as the origin of the Profound Void Archaic Realm descended.

At this moment.

The gaze of many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from various forces turned toward the Human Race’s domain.

“A Pinnacle Dao Ancestor is about to emerge among the Human Race.”

“Is it the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws? His cultivation speed is terrifying! He’s reaching the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm so quickly!”

“I’ve heard before that the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws possesses astonishing combat strength, even stronger than Young Master Gui. Once he breaks through to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm, his power will surely surpass that of ordinary Pinnacle Dao Ancestors!”

Boom!!!!

At this moment, Ye Tian shattered his shackles and ascended to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm. His physical body was undergoing a transformation into the Pinnacle Dao Body, while his Forbidden Dao Force grew even purer and stronger, far surpassing his previous power. Even his soul became more refined and was etched with the rules of the Forbidden Origin.

At this moment, Ye Tian seemed to embody the essence of the Forbidden Dao itself. Every action and movement resonated with the forbidden rules of heaven and earth.

“Impressive, truly impressive. I’ve grown far stronger than before. Perhaps even the Wind King might not be my match!” Ye Tian calculated confidently.

More importantly, he had just ascended to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm. Both his Forbidden Dao Force and physical strength could still be improved. Unless his growth reached a certain peak and began to slow down, the initial stages of enhancement would progress rapidly.

Additionally, his Forbidden Dao technique, Dark Limit Dao Spear, had just been created. Currently at the entry-level stage, it had yet to reach a profound level of mastery.

Therefore, once Ye Tian devoted himself to refining the Dark Limit Dao Spear, his strength would surge significantly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

“I’ve copied and fused several Forbidden Talents: Dark Spear among them. Cultivating the Dark Limit Dao Spear, this Forbidden Dao technique, is countless times easier for me than for Half-Step Domain Ancestors. At best, they can elevate a single Forbidden Dao technique to the minor accomplishment realm. But I can easily refine a single Forbidden Dao technique to the major accomplishment or even perfected realm—and perhaps even to the limit!”

Ye Tian felt great confidence in his abilities.

Having just ascended to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm, numerous Pinnacle Dao Ancestors arrived within the Human Race’s domain to offer their congratulations.

These Pinnacle Dao Ancestors hailed from various forces, some from the Eighth Heaven forces and others from the Ninth Heaven forces.

Ye Tian received each of them courteously. Perhaps they were former enemies, but now, with the collaboration of the major forces, they were considered allies. Naturally, Ye Tian would not ignore them.

Among these visitors, several Pinnacle Dao Ancestors expressed their desire to collaborate with Ye Tian in hunting forbidden insects. However, Ye Tian declined them all.

He had no intention of cooperating with these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. Such collaboration would merely turn into him protecting them.

Moreover, he could collaborate with the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain. Why bother with these others?

On this day.

Ye Tian traveled to the Wind King Small Domain and met Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, who had just returned from the Dark Forbidden Domain. Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity had specifically returned to organize the Ten Kings’ Enfeoffment Ceremony for Ye Tian.

Indeed, Ye Tian had ascended to the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor realm and officially became one of the Ten Kings!
