Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 1243

Chapter 1243: Pinnacle Inheritance!

TL: Etude

“Quick, escape!” An Invincible Dao Ancestor shouted urgently.

Taking advantage of Ye Tian’s battle with the roc projection, he seized the opportunity to attempt an escape from this place.

With so many Invincible Dao Ancestors working together, there was a chance to break through the seal here and return to the outside world. As long as the roc projection didn’t interfere, they had hope.

Immediately, the other Invincible Dao Ancestors reacted as well, sparing no effort to break the seal.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A temporary passageway was forcibly opened, allowing one Invincible Dao Ancestor after another to traverse out from the isolated island.

In the blink of an eye, only Ye Tian and the roc projection remained on the island.

With the others gone and the roc projection’s domain enveloping the entire island, no external forces could reach inside. Thus, no one could know what was happening within this battle.

Previously, Ye Tian had only defended against the roc projection’s attacks without retaliating.

But now, there was no need for him to hold back.

“Dark Limit Dao Spear!”

“Shadow Thorn!”

Ye Tian unleashed forbidden Dao techniques repeatedly, striking the roc projection. However, one thing left him somewhat disappointed: his concealment technique, part of his Forbidden Talent Concealment, was ineffective against the creature. It easily saw through his ability.

Of course, the roc projection was not its true form. Its strength was gradually depleting, and it seemed unable to replenish its power effectively.

Therefore, if the battle dragged on long enough, Ye Tian would eventually exhaust the roc projection and claim the forbidden supreme treasure.

As time passed, Ye Tian’s injuries grew more severe, but the roc projection was in far worse shape. Its remaining strength dwindled to the point where it was no longer a match for him.

Just as Ye Tian prepared to go all out to finish off the roc projection, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The roc projection’s golden eyes suddenly displayed a human-like expression, and a voice echoed across the island.

“An interesting little insect. Despite your low realm, you can unleash such remarkable strength. In the future, you may have a chance to grow to my level.” The roc projection spoke.

“You can talk?” Ye Tian asked in surprise.

“What difficulty is there in speaking?” the roc projection said with a smile. “Previously, the one fighting you was merely a fragment of my will, devoid of intelligence. Now, a sliver of my consciousness has descended, allowing me to converse with you. Originally, I could have paid a small price to kill you. However, your potential is impressive, worthy of my investment. I will grant you an opportunity. If you venture into the Dark Forbidden Domain in the future, come find me! Remember, my name is Peng Zu!”

After Peng Zu spoke, his golden eyes emitted a ray of light. The light shot into Ye Tian’s body before he could evade.

Once the light was released, Peng Zu’s projection vanished.

The domain shrouding the island also gradually dissipated.

Ye Tian didn’t have time to examine the light within his body. Instead, he immediately turned his attention to the forbidden supreme treasure resembling a piece of black wood.

Rustle, rustle, rustle! Spiritual senses from multiple Invincible Dao Ancestors swept over, noticing Ye Tian’s heavily injured state. Each of them was utterly astonished.

They had assumed Ye Tian would perish, yet he had survived. With the roc projection gone, they concluded that Ye Tian must have outlasted it in battle.

At that moment, they were all awed by Ye Tian’s strength.

In their eyes, Ye Tian’s power was already comparable to that of a weaker Half-Step Domain Ancestor.

“The strength of the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws is astonishingly powerful. This is truly unexpected. This is the first time I’ve seen a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor elevate their power to such a level!” one Invincible Dao Ancestor marveled.

Though Ye Tian was gravely injured, none dared to snatch the forbidden supreme treasure from him.

Even a heavily injured Half-Step Domain Ancestor could effortlessly kill an Invincible Dao Ancestor. Only those exceptionally heaven-defying Invincible Dao Ancestors could contend with weaker Half-Step Domain Ancestors. However, throughout the Profound Void Archaic Realm, such individuals were exceedingly rare. At least among those revealed thus far, true Invincible Dao Ancestors were few and far between.

Ye Tian did not linger there and quickly departed.

He feared any unforeseen events. If a Half-Step Domain Ancestor targeted him, he would have no means of escape in his current condition.

Soon, Ye Tian left the large forbidden treasure land and returned to the Human Realm.

Only then did he finally relax.

In the Human Realm, even a Half-Step Domain Ancestor couldn’t easily intrude, so he was entirely safe.

Next, Ye Tian began healing his injuries while investigating the nature of the light within him.

“An inheritance!”

The information contained within the light turned out to be an inheritance.

It didn’t take long for Ye Tian to fully assimilate the inheritance, and his entire being brimmed with excitement.

“Pinnacle Inheritance!”

Moreover, this was a Pinnacle Inheritance specifically for cultivators! He was puzzled. That so-called Peng Zu should belong to the category of Forbidden Lifeforms, yet it possessed a Pinnacle Inheritance meant for cultivators.

Perhaps Peng Zu had slain a powerful cultivator, or perhaps it had obtained the inheritance through a trade with another strong cultivator—or perhaps there was another explanation entirely.

The so-called Pinnacle Inheritance was designed for the Dao Ancestor realm. For most ordinary Dao Ancestors, it held little value. However, for someone like Ye Tian, this inheritance was unimaginably precious—his greatest fortune.

All along, Ye Tian had believed that the Invincible Dao Ancestor was the pinnacle of the Dao Ancestor level, and any further advancement could only lead to the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm.

To reach the Half-Step Domain Ancestor level, one had to master a Forbidden Dao and merge it with their own Grand Dao—similar to Ye Tian’s Infinite Forbidden Dao. Additionally, they had to comprehend enough Domain Ancestor Mysteries, imbuing their Forbidden Dao Force with the attribute of domain force, which would then trigger qualitative transformations in their body, soul, and Dao force, allowing them to step into the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm.

However, the Pinnacle Inheritance presented a different path. After achieving the Invincible Dao Ancestor level, one could elevate their Forbidden Body to a state of Tenfold Perfection, achieving a truly flawless Forbidden Body.

Next, all of their Forbidden Dao Force would need to be fully transformed into Forbidden Power, completely transcending Dao force.

Finally, the most critical aspect was the soul.

While the Dao Ancestor level placed great importance on the soul, there were few inheritances that addressed it. Yet, the soul was of paramount importance—it was the foundation of one’s existence. Losing the physical body was inconsequential, but the soul was irreplaceable.

The Pinnacle Inheritance could elevate the soul to an almost indestructible state, referred to as an Immortal Soul.

A Perfect Forbidden Body, Forbidden Power, and an Immortal Soul—when these three elements coalesced, they formed the Pinnacle Force.

An Invincible Dao Ancestor at the Pinnacle level was a true Invincible Dao Ancestor. Upon stepping into the Half-Step Domain Ancestor realm, such individuals could easily advance to the All-Things Realm or even the Unity Realm. Ordinary Half-Step Domain Ancestors, by contrast, were limited to the Unity Realm Perfection level.

However, those with the Pinnacle Inheritance were different. They could achieve a Pinnacle-level Half-Step Domain Ancestor, a realm capable of reversing the tide and contending with Domain Ancestors.

For ordinary Half-Step Domain Ancestors at the Unity Realm Perfection level, facing a true Domain Ancestor was akin to an ant challenging a giant. This stark difference highlighted the gap between ordinary cultivators and Pinnacle cultivators.

Without a Pinnacle Inheritance, one could never hope to reach the Pinnacle level.

But now, Ye Tian possessed the Pinnacle Inheritance! It was an unimaginable fortune.
