Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Ye Tian's emergence from seclusion attracted a lot of attention within the Void Sky Hall.

This was because Ye Tian had broken through to the Half-Step True Spirit Realm, which was a significant event! In this era of the grand cosmic flourishing, with abundant resources and an excellent cultivation environment, many Heavenly Monarchs had advanced to the True Monarch realm. However, the once rapidly progressing Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws had remained at the Heavenly Monarch level, leading to much speculation. Many began to suspect that Ye Tian had exhausted his potential.

But now, Ye Tian had broken through, achieving the Half-Step True Spirit Realm. Did this signify that he was about to reach new heights, or would his progress slow down, relegating him to being just another ordinary genius? Naturally, though…

Those with insight wouldn't dare to think of Ye Tian as an ordinary genius. After all, he had ascended to the peak of nine-star Divine General strength and was a Transcendent. How could he be just another genius? Even among the personal disciples of Dao Ancestors, he was undoubtedly one of the top elites.

Only those with shallow understanding would look down on Ye Tian, thinking he had fallen from grace.

However, even those who had knowledge still underestimated Ye Tian.

…

In the Linglan Domain branch of the Demon Sound Sect.

The Demon Sound Sect nurtured these younger talents, constantly supplying its headquarters with personnel and expanding the sect's power. It also managed the vast territories under its control.

Compared to hundreds of millions of years ago, the power of the Demon Sound Sect had multiplied several times over, now boasting dozens of True Monarchs, nearly ten thousand Heavenly Monarchs, and a vast number of talented Divine Generals.

If given a few more hundred million years, the Demon Sound Sect might see its number of Heavenly Monarchs rise to over one hundred thousand.

The era of prosperity had just begun, and every major power was rapidly advancing.

At this moment, a figure appeared outside the Linglan Domain branch of the Demon Sound Sect—it was none other than Ye Tian.

"The Demon Sound Sect has developed quite well!" Ye Tian murmured to himself.

Compared to hundreds of millions of years ago, the Demon Sound Sect had indeed grown far stronger. If they had possessed this scale back when he stormed through Ten Star Sea, he surely would have perished back then.

However, both the Demon Sound Sect and Ye Tian were no longer what they had been.

"I'll use the Demon Sound Sect to test my strength and settle the grudge from back then!" Ye Tian spoke calmly.

If the Demon Sound Sect had heard Ye Tian's words, they would surely be enraged.

After all, it was the Demon Sound Sect that had suffered great losses in the past, while the Void Sky Hall and Ye Tian had profited handsomely.

Had Ye Tian not revealed the secrets of Ten Star Sea, the Demon Sound Sect might have used the Star Crystals to continually enhance their power. By now, they would likely be the number one force in the entire universe, unmatched by any other power.

Thus, the Demon Sound Sect harbored intense hatred for Ye Tian, wishing for nothing more than to kill him.

However, over the hundreds of millions of years Ye Tian spent in secluded cultivation, they never found the opportunity. Furthermore, their rapid growth required them to focus on managing their affairs, leaving them little time to hunt down Ye Tian.

Boom!!! Ye Tian unleashed part of his aura, enveloping the entire Linglan Domain branch of the Demon Sound Sect.

In the next moment, one after another, Heavenly Monarchs and others appeared, led by none other than the True Monarch of this branch—a familiar face to Ye Tian.

True Monarch Phantom Sound!

"Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, it's you!" True Monarch Phantom Sound glared at Ye Tian with gritted teeth, his eyes filled with undisguised rage and murderous intent.

"That's right, it's me!" Ye Tian said coldly. "Hundreds of millions of years ago, your entire sect surrounded and attacked me. I haven't forgotten that grudge!"

"Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, you still dare to bring this up? If it weren't for you revealing the Star Crystals and Star Heaven Pearls, our Demon Sound Sect's strength could have increased tenfold by now.

For hundreds of millions of years, we haven't had the chance to seek revenge, and today, you've come right to us! Hahaha, Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, after all these millions of years, you've only just advanced to the Half-Step True Spirit Realm, while I have long become a True Monarch. I've even made small progress in the True Monarch realm, nearing the peak of the early True Spirit stage. Killing you will be as easy as turning my hand!"

True Monarch Phantom Sound was filled with confidence.

Of course, he knew Ye Tian's strength was terrifying, as ordinary Heavenly Monarchs and Half-Step True Spirits were no match for him. Thus, he personally attacked Ye Tian.

"Heavenly Sound Kashyapa!"

A terrifying chaos divine ability was unleashed by True Monarch Phantom Sound. This was a mighty divine ability ranked in the hundreds on the Chaos Divine Ability List. When cast by a True Monarch like Phantom Sound, its power was unimaginable.

Buzzing! The void trembled, and the space around Ye Tian was enveloped.

Under such an attack, any Half-Step True Spirit would struggle to survive. The Heavenly Sound Kashyapa ability could shatter a person's body without leaving any trace, and it could even destroy Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Moreover, it nearly bypassed all defenses. Even True Monarchs with weak physical bodies would have difficulty resisting this move… Yet Ye Tian simply stood there, allowing the Heavenly Sound Kashyapa ability to shake his body without reacting. He even smiled, completely unharmed.

"Impossible! How are you unscathed?" True Monarch Phantom Sound was utterly shocked.

He launched several more techniques at Ye Tian, but none of them had any effect.

At this point, Ye Tian spoke, "You're too weak. I thought that over the past hundreds of millions of years, you would have made some significant changes. But it turns out, only your cultivation level has risen, while everything else is still trash!"

"Next, I'll use one move. If you can block it, you may live!"

After speaking, Ye Tian uttered two words—"God Annihilator!"

Buzz! A terrifying wave of power swept across the entire Demon Sound Sect Linglan Domain branch, enveloping each and every Heavenly Monarch, Half-Step True Spirit, and True Monarch Phantom Sound.

He was attacking all of them simultaneously, though most of the attack's force was concentrated on True Monarch Phantom Sound. The aftershocks, however, struck the Half-Step True Spirits and Heavenly Monarchs.

But what Ye Tian used was not an ordinary technique—it was an Origin Divine Ability: God Annihilator, a soul-Origin Divine Ability of immense destructive power.

"Soul origin…"

True Monarch Phantom Sound's pupils contracted sharply. Before he could finish his words, his soul was shattered.

The gap between him and Ye Tian was simply too vast. Even as a True Monarch, he couldn't compare to Ye Tian, who had reached the Half-Step True Spirit Realm. He stood no chance against Ye Tian's God Annihilator ability.

As for the other Half-Step True Spirits and Heavenly Monarchs of the Demon Sound Sect branch, they were nothing more than ants in Ye Tian's eyes.

In an instant, the Heavenly Monarchs and Half-Step True Spirits stood frozen, their eyes dull and lifeless as their souls were annihilated, leaving them completely dead.

In the blink of an eye, the Demon Sound Sect's Linglan Domain branch had turned into a wasteland.

"On to the next branch of the Demon Sound Sect!"

Ye Tian's voice still echoed in the now-desolate branch, but he had already vanished.

As time passed, one branch after another of the Demon Sound Sect was eradicated. Countless Half-Step True Spirits and Heavenly Monarchs perished, not to mention the deaths of numerous True Monarchs. This was a tremendous loss for the Demon Sound Sect! True Monarchs, beings of immense power in the chaos, were small overlords, true figures of great authority, controlling life and death on a chaotic continent.

But now, these True Monarchs were falling one by one.

"Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, our Demon Sound Sect will never rest until you are dead!"

True Monarch Baili roared furiously from the headquarters of the Demon Sound Sect.
