Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

"Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, you really dared to come!"

True Monarch Baili narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise in them.

In fact, the preparations he made were merely to guard against Ye Tian; he never truly believed Ye Tian would come.

After all, the strength of the Demon Sound Sect was not weak. If the entire Void Sky Hall were to come for them, that would be understandable.

But for Ye Tian to come alone? That really wasn't enough to warrant concern.

No matter how strong Ye Tian's survival abilities were, a single mistake could still lead to his death.

Moreover, Ye Tian had just entered the Half-Step True Spirit Realm, meaning he still had a lot of room for growth. He could completely cultivate step by step, reach the level of a True Monarch, and then come to trouble the Demon Sound Sect! Of course, the fact that Ye Tian had come now was the scene that the people of the Demon Sound Sect most anticipated. They believed they had a good chance of killing Ye Tian completely.

With the Demon Sound Sect's background, even if they killed a Dao Ancestor's personal disciple, they wouldn't face any real trouble. They weren't like smaller forces that had to act with caution.

"One Line World Formation!"

"Ten Million Void Formation!"

"Soul Imprisonment Formation!"

"Void Realm Formation!"

One by one, formations were activated, covering the entire area.

These formations weren't very powerful; most were not offensive formations but supportive ones meant to prevent Ye Tian from escaping or suppressing his strength.

Of course, the fundamental method the Demon Sound Sect relied on to stop Ye Tian's escape was a secret technique derived from an Origin Divine Ability, called Void Seal. Void Seal specifically targeted spatial travel. As long as one had not reached the level of an Origin Divine Ability in spatial traversal, it could all be sealed. Even Great World Shift couldn't break through Void Seal's barrier.

Void Seal required the joint effort of ten True Monarchs to cast, but since these ten True Monarchs didn't fully grasp the technique, they had to pay a certain price to execute it.

However, as long as they could trap Ye Tian, that price was worth it.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Inside the Demon Sound Sect, ten True Monarchs appeared and instantly arrived at ten key formation points, immediately beginning the joint casting of the Void Seal technique.

In the next moment…

An invisible barrier enveloped the entire area. At this point, not only was Ye Tian unable to traverse space to leave, but even the people of the Demon Sound Sect couldn't travel out. Everyone was sealed within this region.

Of course, if those ten True Monarchs were to fall and die, the Void Seal would naturally dissipate.

However, those ten True Monarchs were already protected by multiple layers of formations. While these formations suppressed Ye Tian, most of their power was dedicated to protecting the monarchs.

"Hahaha, Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, did you expect this? Under Void Seal, even if you've cultivated Great World Shift to the limit, you won't be able to escape. This time, you're dead for sure!" True Monarch Baili laughed wildly.

He wanted to see fury or panic in Ye Tian's eyes, yet Ye Tian's gaze remained calm, like a still lake, without the slightest ripple. It was as if True Monarch Baili's words didn't matter at all.

Ye Tian looked at the members of the Demon Sound Sect.

"True Monarch Baili, after hundreds of millions of years of growth, you still underestimate me.

Do you know why I remained at the Heavenly Monarch level for hundreds of millions of years? My strength far surpasses your imagination.

The price of underestimating me… is death!"

Boom!!!!

Ye Tian unleashed a terrifying aura, manifesting his Origin Divine Ability—Blood River True Body.

At this moment, Ye Tian's body became invincible, with his vitality surging like an endless river of blood. No force could destroy his body.

Seeing this scene, True Monarch Baili and the others trembled all over.

They sensed the aura of an Origin Divine Ability. Although it was weak, it was still an Origin Divine Ability!

"You've created an Origin Divine Ability? Impossible! You're only at the Half-Step True Spirit Realm. How could you possibly create an Origin Divine Ability?" True Monarch Baili cried out in terror.

Origin Divine Abilities were something only True Ancestors could dabble in. Some weaker True Ancestors, due to not having an origin talent, couldn't even create one and were completely incapable of using Origin Divine Abilities.

Being able to wield Origin Divine Abilities marked the dividing line between powerful and weaker True Ancestors. Yet, Ye Tian, still in the Half-Step True Spirit Realm, could already use one, which was simply inconceivable.

At this moment, True Monarch Baili finally understood why Ye Tian had stayed at the Heavenly Monarch level for so many billions of years. It was because Ye Tian had created an Origin Divine Ability while still at that level! No wonder it had taken him so long.

However, what he couldn't comprehend was that creating an Origin Divine Ability at the Heavenly Monarch level wouldn't necessarily enhance one's foundation. It would only make one more powerful in battle. Why hadn't Ye Tian first reached the True Monarch level and then slowly created the Origin Divine Ability? What True Monarch Baili didn't know was that Ye Tian had wanted to break through to the Half-Step True Spirit Realm, but without achieving the unification of essence, qi, and spirit, it was impossible for him to do so!

"Attack! Everyone, go all out, no matter the cost—kill him!" True Monarch Baili roared.

Swish, swish, swish!

Numerous Heavenly Monarchs, Half-Step True Spirits, and many True Monarchs simultaneously launched their attacks at Ye Tian.

If Ye Tian didn't possess the Origin Divine Ability of the Blood River True Body, he might not have been able to withstand the assault from such powerful opponents. After all, faced with so many True Monarchs and Half-Step True Spirit Realm experts, the Blood River Immortality Technique alone wouldn't have been enough.

However, with the addition of the Blood River True Body, Blood River Immortality Technique, and various other divine abilities, Ye Tian was practically in an invulnerable state.

They couldn't break through Ye Tian's defense, but his attacks were more than enough to kill them.

Boom!!!

Boundless flames transformed into fire dragons that swept through the surroundings, burning one Heavenly Monarch after another to ashes.

The power of the Eternal Immortal Flame, this chaos divine ability, was terrifying. In an instant, it wiped out many of the Demon Sound Sect's Heavenly Monarchs, Half-Step True Monarchs, and even two True Monarchs, who, caught off guard, were directly incinerated.

"Use the trump cards!" True Monarch Baili commanded.

Immediately, several True Monarchs pulled out incomplete half-Dao Artifacts.

Over the hundreds of millions of years, the Grand Universe had produced many treasures, some of which could be used to forge half-Dao Artifacts or even full Dao Artifacts. However, refining a half-Dao Artifact required at least a top-tier True Monarch or True Ancestor to accomplish.

Though they couldn't refine complete half-Dao Artifacts, they had managed to create incomplete ones, whose power far exceeded Chaos Supreme Treasures.

At this moment, the True Monarchs unleashed the power of the half-Dao Artifacts, sacrificing them to deliver fatal blows.

A sword-like half-Dao Artifact exploded, transforming into a terrifying sword light that instantly shattered Ye Tian's Blood River True Body.

Puff!

The sword light pierced through Ye Tian's body, creating a small hole in his heart.

"What a strong half-Dao Artifact! I didn't expect that sacrificing an incomplete half-Dao Artifact could actually break my defense!" Ye Tian remarked, somewhat surprised.

This also proved that his origin talent was somewhat lacking, but there was nothing he could do about it. His cultivation level was too low; creating any Origin Divine Ability at all was already quite impressive. He couldn't expect to create one of the more powerful Origin Divine Abilities at this stage.

"However, breaking through my defense is useless. Back when I only knew the Blood River Immortality Technique, you could blast me apart again and again, yet you couldn't destroy me. Now, merely breaking my defense is just a minor injury to me!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian's broken heart instantly regenerated, and the small hole in his body healed without a trace of injury remaining.

The other half-Dao Artifacts also managed to break through his defenses, but none could cause any serious harm to Ye Tian, only creating slight inconveniences.

As time passed, too many of the Demon Sound Sect's Heavenly Monarchs and Half-Step True Spirits fell… even their number of True Monarchs gradually dwindled.

At this moment, the entire Demon Sound Sect plunged into fear.
