Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251: A Member of the Devourer Race Found!

TL: Etude

The Heavenly Emperor Palace, acting simultaneously with Blackwind Mountain, also learned of the Devourer Race’s existence and dispatched their Half-Step Domain Ancestors to find that particular Devourer.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor Palace had no intention of allowing the Devourer Race to grow unchecked. Once a Devourer matured, it would undoubtedly target the Profound Void Archaic Realm.

If the Profound Void Archaic Realm were devoured, even if they survived, they would lose their foundation, and their plans would be completely ruined.

Thus, they had to stop this Devourer.

…

Profound Void Archaic Realm, in a mysterious small heavenly world, three figures, shrouded in mist, gathered here.

“Our identities as Devourers have been exposed. Who leaked our whereabouts?” one of them said.

“It wasn’t me. Although our Devourer Race grows quickly only by devouring numerous worlds, we can also cultivate. Over these years, I’ve only occasionally devoured some newly-formed worlds and universes, spending most of my time secluded in bitter cultivation. This matter has nothing to do with me. Hehe, after all, I’m also an ancient Devourer. Back then, our race nearly went extinct due to excessive arrogance. I remember that lesson clearly and would never casually expose myself!”

“It wasn’t me either. My cultivation has reached a limit, and I must devour worlds at the Top-tier Dao Realm or higher to progress. There are only so many Top-tier Dao Realms in the Dao Mountain Domain, and devouring even one would easily expose me. So, it definitely wasn’t me!”

“It should be some newly-emerged Devourer. But it’s extremely difficult for new Devourers to appear. Without help from a Devourer predecessor, evolving naturally into human form would require abilities comparable to our Devourer Race’s Sacred Ancestors!”

“We ourselves have to be extremely cautious when devouring worlds. How could we possibly nurture another Devourer to compete for resources?”

“If it’s none of us three, and self-evolved Devourers are unlikely, then could another Devourer have infiltrated this place?”

“Very likely. Could it possibly be a Devourer born within the Dao Mountain Domain itself?”

“You’re saying the Dao Mountain Domain itself gave birth to a Devourer? That seems improbable. Devourers don’t emerge that easily.”

The three Devourers discussed for a long time but reached no conclusion.

Still, they decided to act even more discreetly from now on, refraining from devouring any more worlds. If they ended up taking the blame for the troublemaker Devourer, it would be incredibly unjust!

…

After Ye Tian returned from Wind Mountain, he also began searching for Devourers.

“The Profound Void Archaic Realm should have Devourers. Others can’t recognize a Devourer unless they fight one. Otherwise, once a Devourer hides, it appears indistinguishable from an ordinary being. But a Devourer definitely can’t escape my Copy Talent. If I constantly use my Copy Talent to probe, perhaps I can find traces of Devourers!” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

In the following days, Ye Tian continuously had his Copy Body use the Copy Talent externally, probing the beings across one domain after another.

He refused to believe the Devourers could resist leaving seclusion forever; as soon as one emerged to act, he could immediately detect them.

Year after year passed, yet Ye Tian found nothing. Similarly, neither Blackwind Mountain nor the Heavenly Emperor Palace had made significant discoveries in the Dao Mountain Domain. Clearly, the Devourers were hidden exceptionally deep and hard to uncover.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.

Ye Tian had spent these thousand years exploring countless domains within the Profound Void Archaic Realm—some places he checked dozens of times—but he still gained nothing substantial. Although he occasionally acquired some Dao-level Core Talents, they were useless to him, though they could be bestowed upon others in the future.

One day—

Ye Tian descended upon a Starry Sky Continent, his Copy Talent sweeping across the entire continent, filtering through each being to verify whether any Devourers were present.

Suddenly, the talent information of one particular individual caught Ye Tian’s attention.

Devourer: Blackrough
Devouring Talent: Dao-level
World Talent: Dao-level
Origin Strength Talent: Super God-level
Origin Body Talent: Super God-level
Origin Speed Talent: Super God-level
Darkness Talent: Super God-level…

“A Devourer—I’ve finally found one!”

Ye Tian was extremely excited but didn’t act immediately.

The strength of this Devourer was considerable. According to the information from his Copy Talent, this Devourer was at the level of an All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor, likely even stronger than himself.

Relying on his strength alone, he couldn’t possibly deal with this Devourer. If he rashly acted, the Devourer would certainly escape, making it incredibly difficult to find him again.

Immediately, he sent a message to Dao Ancestor Flame Rift, informing him he’d found traces of a Devourer and estimated its strength at the All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor level.

…

Wind Mountain.

Upon receiving Ye Tian’s message, Dao Ancestor Flame Rift quickly informed Mountain Master Wind Mountain.

“Mountain Master, Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws sent a message. He found a Devourer, stating its strength is at the All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor level. I don’t know whether this information is reliable,” said Dao Ancestor Flame Rift.

Mountain Master Wind Mountain spoke in a low voice, “Whether it’s true or false, we’ll know if we just take a look. For our Blackwind Mountain, even if the information turns out incorrect, there’s no loss.”

“Jinchen!”

“Fengxu!”

“Minghai!”

“You three will go together with Flame Rift. If the information is accurate, you must capture that Devourer. Do not let the Heavenly Emperor Palace get ahead of us!” Mountain Master Wind Mountain commanded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors emerged from the void, appearing before Mountain Master Wind Mountain and saluted respectfully. “Yes, Mountain Master!”

Immediately, Dao Ancestor Jinchen, Dao Ancestor Fengxu, Dao Ancestor Minghai, and Dao Ancestor Flame Rift—a total of four All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors—departed to Ye Tian’s location.

Soon after, they arrived beside Ye Tian.

“Greetings to the four Dao Ancestors!” Ye Tian greeted politely.

Dao Ancestor Flame Rift asked, “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, where is the Devourer you mentioned, the one at the All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor level?”

“Right over there.”

Ye Tian pinpointed the Devourer—Blackrough—using his aura.

Immediately, Dao Ancestor Flame Rift and the others locked onto Blackrough with their spiritual senses.

At that moment, Blackrough was in a famous mortal-world tavern, leisurely drinking tea. Suddenly sensing multiple powerful auras targeting him, he became slightly flustered.

“What am I panicking for? These Half-Step Domain Ancestors probably just noticed another Half-Step Domain Ancestor like myself appearing in such a tiny mortal city and got curious. They don’t know my real identity. As long as I don’t expose myself, they won’t realize I’m a Devourer!” Blackrough thought calmly.

…

I’ve decided to change things like Unity Realm Half-Step Domain Ancestor to just Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor to reduce the wordiness.
