Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

True Monarch Baili had never expected that the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws had grown so powerful. He had only recently ascended to Half-Step True Spirit and had already destroyed several branches of the Demon Sound Sect.

One must know that each of these branches required a True Monarch to oversee them! Even though some of the True Monarchs weren't particularly strong, they were still True Monarchs, and with the formations bolstering them, their strength wouldn't be weak.

Moreover, True Monarch Phantom Sound had fallen! He was one of the top five most powerful True Monarchs in the Demon Sound Sect, and yet, he had died at the hands of the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws.

"How could this be? The Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws only had strong life-preserving abilities, but his strength wasn't supposed to be this overwhelming.

It's one thing for a Heavenly Monarch to cross realms and kill a Half-Step True Spirit, but for a Half-Step True Spirit to kill a genius like True Monarch Phantom Sound—how is that even possible?"

True Monarch Baili couldn't comprehend how the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws had accomplished this! Even in the Chaos Realm, the Demon Sound Sect's Dao Ancestor's personal disciples at the Half-Step True Monarch stage couldn't achieve such feats. Moreover, this time the Demon Sound Sect had sent in several core disciples who were no weaker than the Dao Ancestor's personal disciples, yet none of them were as monstrous as this! And as a core disciple himself, True Monarch Baili knew exactly how unimaginable it was for a Half-Step True Spirit to kill a True Monarch like True Monarch Phantom Sound.

"There's definitely something off. Could it be that the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws used some kind of treasure?" True Monarch Baili speculated.

But regardless of how Ye Tian had done it, the fact remained that he had gone head-to-head with the Demon Sound Sect, and the two sides were now locked in a fight to the death. If the Demon Sound Sect couldn't kill the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws—Ye Tian—then they would be finished.

The True Monarchs of the Void Sky Hall, including True Monarch Tun Yue, had also heard that Ye Tian was attacking the Demon Sound Sect, and they were deeply shocked.

One after another, they sent messages to Ye Tian, urging him to return.

"The Dao Child is being too reckless. He's only a Half-Step True Spirit, and the Demon Sound Sect is no longer what it was millions of years ago. The current Demon Sound Sect has dozens of True Monarchs!" True Monarch Tun Yue said with concern.

"True Monarch Tun Yue, the Dao Child sent us a message saying we need not worry. He can protect himself!" Peng Yu True Monarch replied.

"We know the Dao Child has life-saving techniques, but he's still just a Half-Step True Spirit. He might not be able to withstand the combined assault of multiple True Monarchs!" Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue said.

"Don't forget, the Dao Child has the Great World Shift technique. As long as he isn't killed in a single strike, he can easily escape!" Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu added.

"But what if the Great World Shift is countered? The Demon Sound Sect has deep foundations; who knows if they have formations or methods to seal it?" True Monarch Tun Yue said.

After a round of discussion, True Monarch Tun Yue and the others decided to observe for now. If Ye Tian found himself unable to hold on, they would step in to rescue him.

There were quite a few branches of the Demon Sound Sect, around twenty or so.

No one knew which one Ye Tian would attack next. Moreover, with the Demon Sound Sect boasting dozens of True Monarchs, they couldn't all gather at a single branch. As a result, one branch after another fell under Ye Tian's assault.

In the end, the Demon Sound Sect had no choice but to abandon those branches and gather all their forces, temporarily retreating.

Of course, they couldn't leave the branches entirely unguarded. Only weaker Heavenly Monarchs and Divine Generals were left behind to maintain order in those regions. If everyone withdrew, those areas would fall into chaos.

Additionally, fearing that Ye Tian might kill those Heavenly Monarchs and Divine Generals, the Demon Sound Sect publicly announced that they had recalled all of their Half-Step True Spirits and True Monarchs to the main sect.

They also issued a challenge to Ye Tian, daring him to attack their headquarters. If he killed the weaker Heavenly Monarchs and Divine Generals, they claimed, he wouldn't be worthy of being the Dao Ancestor's personal disciple.

Under these circumstances, if Ye Tian continued to destroy branches without any Half-Step True Spirits or True Monarchs guarding them, he would undoubtedly be condemned.

After all, even in chaos, battles between strong individuals were normal. However, when a strong person slaughtered the weak, it became excessive.

At one branch of the Demon Sound Sect.

Ye Tian investigated briefly and found that there were indeed no Half-Step True Spirits or Heavenly Monarchs present. Even the more powerful Heavenly Monarchs were absent, so he didn't attack.

"It seems the Demon Sound Sect has recalled all their powerful members to the headquarters. In that case, I'll make a trip to their headquarters!"

As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, his figure vanished.

At the Demon Sound Sect headquarters.

At this moment, the entire sect was filled with anger, a burning rage directed at Ye Tian. They all wished to kill him.

However, they had to admit that Ye Tian's strength was formidable. Not only did he possess terrifying life-preserving abilities, but he also had the Great World Shift, making him someone not easily killed.

But no one was afraid! They were far stronger than they had been hundreds of millions of years ago, and now they had gathered 36 True Monarchs, 10 Half-Step True Spirits, over 60 Heavenly Monarchs, and hundreds of thousands of Divine Generals.

With such a vast array of powerful individuals, could they still not handle the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws?

"Baili, are we truly capable of sealing the Great World Shift of the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws? If we can't seal it, then all of this will be in vain. Moreover, we'll lose some True Monarchs in the process, and no one wants to die, including us!"

One of the Demon Sound Sect's other leaders, True Monarch Myriad Eyes, asked.

True Monarch Myriad Eyes's entire body was covered with various eyes, each representing a different secret technique. While his strength might not surpass True Monarch Baili's, his unpredictability was unmatched.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, True Monarch Myriad Eyes had only been a powerful Heavenly Monarch and had not fully matured. But now, he had grown immensely powerful.

He was also one of the Demon Sound Sect's core disciples, with a status no lower than True Monarch Baili.

"Ten Thousand Eyes, ever since we learned that the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws possessed the Great World Shift, we naturally made preparations.

The True Ancestors have been researching this for a long time, and they've even obtained a method to counter it from the Dao Ancestors.

The Great World Shift is indeed powerful, one of the most formidable escape techniques among the chaos divine abilities. But no matter how strong it is, it's still just a chaos divine ability, not an Origin Divine Ability! Some particularly extraordinary True Monarchs are capable of creating Origin Divine Abilities that surpass realms. In front of an Origin Divine Ability, the Great World Shift is nothing special.

The secret technique we acquired from the True Ancestors is a simplified version of an Origin Divine Ability. When ten True Monarchs perform it together, it can exert one-tenth of the power of that Origin Divine Ability, which seals the void.

Even if it's only one-tenth of its power, it's enough to prevent the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws from escaping!" True Monarch Baili explained.

"Let's hope that secret technique is reliable!" True Monarch Myriad Eyes said no more.

He hadn't come into contact with the secret technique because cultivating it required ten True Monarchs with different talents, working together for millions of years.

He hadn't been selected. Although True Monarch Baili hadn't cultivated it either, he was in charge, so he knew of its strength.

"Rest assured, if the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws dares to come, he's dead! A mere Half-Step True Spirit, daring to charge into our Demon Sound Sect—utterly foolish! Furthermore, he stayed in the Heavenly Monarch realm for so long, who knows what kind of secret technique he was cultivating. But no matter how much one accumulates at the Heavenly Monarch level, it's useless. Once you hit the limit, you can't progress any further. No amount of cultivation can change that.

Take Zero as an example. He cultivated for countless ages, spanning who knows how many eras, even existing during the same period as some Dao Ancestors. But what was the outcome? The powerful figures of his era could kill him with just a glance.

He even entered the Grand Universe, only to be killed by the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws. What a joke!" True Monarch Baili laughed.

As they waited patiently, the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian, finally arrived.
