TL: Etude

Ye Tian didn’t know much about Dao Ancestor Nirvana Sky. Whether or not Nirvana Sky would submit to him was of no concern. After all, Dao Ancestor Nirvana Sky was no longer one of the Ten Kings. No matter how powerful he was, he could no longer lead others.

The position of the Ten Kings of Blackwind Mountain was extraordinarily unique. At the level of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, the Ten Kings reigned supreme. If Dao Ancestor Nirvana Sky attempted to lead other Pinnacle Dao Ancestors or even the Ten Kings, it would disrupt the established order.

Having once served as one of the Ten Kings, Dao Ancestor Nirvana Sky likely understood the rules and would probably have no objections.

As time passed, the previously unstable medium Forbidden Void Realm finally stabilized and took complete shape. The fluctuations of the spatial rules settled, making it safe to enter the Forbidden Void Realm.

Swish!

Numerous Dao Ancestors entered the medium Forbidden Void Realm one after another. Ye Tian led the Dao Ancestors of Blackwind Mountain into the realm as well.

Upon entering, they found themselves in an environment resembling the Forbidden Continent.

Endless mountain ranges stretched across the land, forbidden rivers spanned the continent, and forbidden forests covered vast areas.

“A medium Forbidden Void Realm with terrain like the Forbidden Continent! Realms like this are resource-dense and far more valuable than starry-sky-type Forbidden Void Realms,” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

“Spread out and gather resources individually. Later, we’ll regroup. If any force dares to begin refining this Forbidden Void Realm, gather immediately to stop them. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Dark King!” the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors replied.

Whoosh!

The Pinnacle Dao Ancestors of Blackwind Mountain scattered and soon vanished from sight.

Although there weren’t many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors in this realm, their spiritual senses had an incredibly vast range. Thus, they could locate forbidden wondrous objects and forbidden supreme treasures with remarkable speed. As for the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, they could only rely on luck.

If a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor decided to target a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor, even the forces to which the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor belonged might not be able to save them.

After all, the gap between a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor and a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor was immense. Some powerful Pinnacle Dao Ancestors could instantly eliminate a Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Ye Tian’s spiritual sense enveloped the surrounding area, locking onto the locations of several forbidden wondrous objects.

For Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, unless it was a forbidden supreme treasure, ordinary forbidden wondrous objects, even those imbued with Great Terror, posed no real threat.

Ye Tian also gradually understood why some forbidden wondrous objects and forbidden supreme treasures contained Great Terror.

It was said that these forbidden wondrous objects and forbidden supreme treasures were projections of some supreme forbidden entities. These forbidden entities existed in the Dark Forbidden Domain, guarded by Forbidden Lifeforms.

Seizing a forbidden wondrous object or forbidden supreme treasure would attract the attention of these Forbidden Lifeforms. A trace of power would traverse the Dark Forbidden Domain via the Forbidden Origin, descending upon the person who touched the forbidden object, thereby creating an event of Great Terror.

Of course, some forbidden wondrous objects had lost their connection to their Forbidden Lifeforms and could thus be taken without triggering Great Terror.

However, forbidden supreme treasures had deeper ties to those supreme forbidden entities. As a result, the power of the projected Forbidden Lifeforms was even stronger, and the Great Terror they triggered was exceptionally horrifying!

Even so, with Ye Tian’s strength, even the terrifying power of an ordinary forbidden supreme treasure’s Great Terror wouldn’t result in his death. At most, he would be injured.

As time passed, numerous forbidden wondrous objects fell into Ye Tian’s hands, far surpassing the amounts he had obtained previously.

However, these forbidden wondrous objects did not all belong to Ye Tian.

This time, since the Half-Step Domain Ancestors did not enter and had restrained the Invincible Dao Ancestors from participating, it was agreed beforehand that half of the forbidden wondrous objects and forbidden supreme treasures obtained would be offered to their respective forces.

This arrangement was fair; otherwise, no one would profit.

Ye Tian didn’t mind. Even if he handed half of his forbidden wondrous objects to Blackwind Mountain, he would still obtain a massive haul. With his strength, he could dominate among the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors. If Invincible Dao Ancestors had participated, he might not have been able to secure many forbidden wondrous objects at all.

Thus, he suffered no losses.

Soon, Ye Tian discovered a forbidden supreme treasure—and it was a middle-grade forbidden supreme treasure. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

I’ve decided not to capitalize treasures for the time being because it makes the text too clustered.
