Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 1221
Chapter 1221: The Corpse of a Forbidden Lifeform!
TL: Etude
The limits of the Infinite Grand Dao remained beyond Ye Tian’s sight, yet this did not hinder his growth in power.
Even if he could not ascend to become an Invincible Dao Ancestor after countless epochs, as long as his strength kept increasing, he could still slay an Invincible Dao Ancestor. Moreover, if his Forbidden Dao Techniques grew strong enough, and his mastery of Forbidden Dao deepened, there was even a slim chance he could rival a Half-Step Domain Ancestor…
Of course, achieving such a step would be extraordinarily difficult.
One day, not long after.
The Profound Void Archaic Realm was exceptionally calm, and even the Dark Forbidden Domain seemed relatively tranquil, with only small skirmishes occurring in isolated areas.
However, a massive black shadow drifted across the Dark Forbidden Domain, accompanied by an oppressive aura of unimaginable biological might.
“What… is that?”
A group of Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors searching for forbidden insects suddenly spotted the immense black shadow. Feeling the terrifying pressure radiating from it, their bodies trembled involuntarily, as though they were witnessing a Great Terror made manifest.
They attempted to probe the situation using their spiritual senses, but their senses failed to penetrate the darkness. They could not discern the nature of the black shadow at all.
Fearing potential danger, they refrained from advancing recklessly.
One of the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors activated a vision technique of Grand Thousand Dao Technique level: Thousandfold Eyes.
Boom!!!
The void shattered layer by layer as the power of the technique pierced the darkness, illuminating the true form of the shadow.
Finally, he saw it.
It was an incomparably colossal being, akin to an awe-inspiring world. Just a wisp of its aura could crush eternity itself. Its essence far surpassed that of Primeval Chaos Lifeforms, rising to a realm that seemed utterly supreme.
From its appearance, the being resembled a type of eagle, its body clad in black-gold scales that covered it entirely. It had four claws, each unimaginably sharp and deadly.
“This… this is a Forbidden Lifeform!!!” the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestor gasped in terror.
He could not ascertain whether this Forbidden Lifeform was dead or alive. If it were still alive, the three of them would be annihilated in an instant, with no hope of survival.
A Forbidden Lifeform, as recorded in legend, was a terrifying existence comparable to a Domain Ancestor.
“Retreat!”
“Everyone, retreat quickly!”
He transmitted his voice to his companions.
They dared not retreat hastily for fear of drawing attention. Silently and cautiously, they withdrew step by step. Only after they had distanced themselves so far that they could no longer sense the Forbidden Lifeform’s presence did they accelerate and return to their base.
News spread swiftly across the bases.
A Forbidden Lifeform had appeared—a revelation that sent shockwaves through countless hearts.
Fear swept over everyone.
After all, if a Forbidden Lifeform truly emerged, they would all face certain death, with no chance of escape.
However, Ye Tian received the news immediately.
“A Forbidden Lifeform… a fallen one!”
A gleam of interest flashed in Ye Tian’s eyes.
His first thought was the Forbidden Lifeform’s Forbidden Talent. If he could replicate the talent of such a creature, it would bring an immense boost to his power.
Secondly, what came to his mind was the opportunities and treasures within the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse.
Swish! Ye Tian’s Copy Body, operating under the identity of the Dark King, set out, accompanied by numerous Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain, heading toward the fallen Forbidden Lifeform.
The Half-Step Domain Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain had long since left, without waiting for Ye Tian and his group.
After all, for Half-Step Domain Ancestors, anything involving a Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse was a monumental opportunity. In the past, during the era of the Divine Heaven Domain, even Domain Ancestors would compete for such a prize, leaving no chance for Half-Step Domain Ancestors.
Before long, Ye Tian also arrived at the location of the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse.
At the site of the Forbidden Lifeform’s fall, many Pinnacle Dao Ancestors, Invincible Dao Ancestors, and Half-Step Domain Ancestors had already gathered.
As for Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors, they dared not approach. Their physical bodies could not withstand the escaping force of the Forbidden Lifeform. Only those with Forbidden Bodies could bear such power.
Thus, the Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors with Forbidden Bodies could barely get close. However, how many Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors at the Pinnacle Dao Ancestor level could actually possess Forbidden Bodies? As such, most Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors could not approach. Even if there were opportunities, they were not theirs to claim.
Seventh Heaven Dao Ancestors lacked the qualifications to come near; those weaker than Dao Ancestors stood no chance at all.
“It truly is a Forbidden Lifeform!”
Assuming the identity of the Dark King, Ye Tian arrived at the scene. He gazed upon the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse and felt its overwhelming aura, his heart filled with astonishment.
What intrigued him even more was that this Forbidden Lifeform’s body appeared remarkably intact, with no visible injuries.
Forbidden Lifeforms were unimaginably powerful, comparable to Domain Ancestors. How could one fall without experiencing a brutal battle? As for succumbing to a lifespan limit, that was utterly impossible! The lifespans of Forbidden Lifeforms were nearly eternal, tied to the Dark Forbidden Domain itself. Unless the domain was destroyed, their lives were eternal and undying.
“Could it be that its soul was obliterated?” Ye Tian speculated.
He also wondered whether Wind Mountain Master of Blackwind Mountain would appear. Even if the Wind Mountain Master was a legendary Domain Ancestor, he would likely be interested in a Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse. Perhaps he would claim it.
“If the Wind Mountain Master intended to come, he should have arrived by now. Could it be that he has given up? Or does he have an even more important plan that even the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse cannot compel him to act early?” Ye Tian pondered curiously.
At this moment, Blackwind Mountain’s Dao Ancestor Divine Ruins, Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity, and Dao Ancestor Aged Gold, along with 260 Half-Step Domain Ancestors from other bases, had all gathered and were still analyzing the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse.
“I’ll try to take it!” Palace Master Azure Dragon extended his power toward the Forbidden Lifeform, attempting to retrieve its corpse. However, a force immediately struck back, shattering his body and leaving him injured.
“It’s impossible!” Palace Master Azure Dragon shook his head. “Forbidden Lifeforms transcend all rules. Their corpses cannot be stored in internal worlds. It’s impossible to take them away! Unless one’s internal world rules rival the Dark Forbidden Domain itself, which is impossible!”
“Palace Master Azure Dragon, I told you earlier that it couldn’t be taken away, but you wouldn’t believe me. Even Domain Ancestors couldn’t take a Forbidden Lifeform’s intact body. Back in the Divine Heaven Domain, those Domain Ancestors had to cut the bodies into fragments, slowly extracting the Forbidden Lifeform’s power through special means before taking the fragments. We’re not Domain Ancestors. We really can’t do anything with this Forbidden Lifeform’s body!” Dao Ancestor Eternal Perpetuity laughed.
Immediately, the Half-Step Domain Ancestors flew into the giant mouth of the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse, preparing to search its internal world for opportunities and treasures.
At that moment, Ye Tian also approached the Forbidden Lifeform’s corpse. Using his Copy Talent, he extended his power toward the corpse and barely managed to touch it.
“As expected, there is a Forbidden Talent!” Ye Tian was overjoyed.
