Chapter 1267: Contest for Slots!

TL: Etude

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, you’ve gone too far!”

Palace Master Black Tortoise appeared, blocking Ye Tian’s path.

After all, Palace Master Azure Dragon wasn’t truly an All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor. In the current Profound Void Ultimate Ancient Realm, he was completely unable to hold the situation down. It was just that Palace Master Azure Dragon had been the closest and thus had arrived first to stop the Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors from entering the inner space of the Ultimate Ancient Realm Tree.

Otherwise, if a large number of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors flooded inside, how could the Heavenly Emperor Palace retain any slots? At that point, even if they killed all these Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors, it would be useless since the origin energy of the Ultimate Ancient Realm Tree would have already been drained dry by then.

Now, with Palace Master Black Tortoise—a genuine All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor—present, Palace Master Azure Dragon finally felt somewhat more confident.

In Palace Master Black Tortoise’s view, no matter how strong Ye Tian was, he could at most be comparable to the weaker All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors. That was already the absolute limit for an Invincible Dao Ancestor.

He didn’t believe that a mere Invincible Dao Ancestor could contend with him. Wasn’t that nonsense?!

“Palace Master Black Tortoise, step aside!” Ye Tian shouted coldly.

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, our Heavenly Emperor Palace isn’t going to leave your Human Race without slots. However, your Human Race wants to send in fifty people at once. Sorry, but that’s too much. Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, you simply don’t have the qualifications for so many slots.”

“If it were your Blackwind Mountain obtaining fifty slots, I wouldn’t object!” Palace Master Black Tortoise said.

“It would make sense if Palace Master Dragon Shadow or Palace Master Thunder Tribulation from your Heavenly Emperor Palace said I lacked the qualifications. But you, Palace Master Black Tortoise, don’t have the qualifications to speak to me!”

Saying this, Ye Tian took out the Heaven-Slaying Spear.

The current Heaven-Slaying Spear had undergone tempering with countless materials and had long since reached the half-Domain Artifact level, drastically increasing its power.

“Shadow Thorn!”

With a spear thrust, it pierced through everything.

Though Ye Tian hadn’t used Limit Dao Force, this spear strike still reached the pinnacle of the All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor’s attack power.

But Palace Master Black Tortoise wasn’t among the top-tier All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors. His attack power was merely intermediate at this tier, while his defense had reached the high-grade level. Overall, his strength hovered between intermediate and high-grade All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor.

Pu!!!

The Heaven-Slaying Spear broke through Palace Master Black Tortoise’s tortoise-shell defense in a single strike, injuring him instantly.

“My defense was pierced through?!” Palace Master Black Tortoise was astonished.

His defense definitely belonged to the high-grade All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor tier. Even a high-grade All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor would find it difficult to completely penetrate his defense in one blow, at most causing some cracks.

Yet Ye Tian’s attack had easily pierced through. This was undoubtedly a strike at the top-tier level among All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestors—indeed, the very pinnacle among the top-tier!

“Impossible! You’re merely an Invincible Dao Ancestor; how can you unleash an attack at the pinnacle of the All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor?” Palace Master Black Tortoise exclaimed in shock.

“You’re simply ignorant!” Ye Tian retorted coldly.

However, due to the slight delay caused by Palace Master Black Tortoise, numerous Half-Step Domain Ancestors from both the Heavenly Emperor Palace and Blackwind Mountain had already descended, clearly interested in the Ultimate Ancient Realm Tree.

On the side of the Heavenly Emperor Palace, Palace Master Thunder Tribulation led the group, but Palace Master Dragon Shadow had not come.

On Blackwind Mountain’s side, Mountain Master Wind Mountain hadn’t appeared either, with Dao Ancestor Jinchen leading instead.

Dao Ancestor Jinchen was also a Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor, thus able to match Palace Master Thunder Tribulation without requiring Mountain Master Wind Mountain to appear personally.

Although the birth of the Ultimate Ancient Realm Tree was significant, it wasn’t enough to mobilize the entire force of either the Heavenly Emperor Palace or Blackwind Mountain.

After Palace Master Thunder Tribulation arrived, his gaze fixed on Ye Tian, saying, “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, your request for fifty slots is excessive. Blackwind Mountain has so many Half-Step Domain Ancestors, and beneath each of them, there must be a crowd of Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors. If everyone acted like you, Blackwind Mountain would require thousands of slots! It’s still unclear exactly how many Dao Ancestors the origin lake inside the Ultimate Ancient Realm Tree can accommodate.”

“I have yet to see any Ultimate Ancient Origin Lake capable of simultaneously supporting cultivation for over a hundred Dao Ancestors, so fifty slots are absolutely impossible!”

“Let’s put the slot issue aside for now and first inspect the size of the Origin Lake!” Ye Tian said.

Immediately, the consciousness of each Half-Step Domain Ancestor entered the internal space of the Ultimate Ancient Realm Tree.

Boom!

A massive Origin Lake appeared within Ye Tian’s consciousness.

This Origin Lake was enormous—several tens of times larger than an ordinary Ultimate Ancient Origin Lake.

“This Origin Lake is huge. It should accommodate about eight hundred cultivators simultaneously,” Palace Master Thunder Tribulation remarked.

“Good. Then let’s allocate the eight hundred slots accordingly. No Half-Step Domain Ancestor can enter since the Ultimate Ancient Realm Body isn’t of much use to us. Our Half-Step Domain Ancestor bodies already surpass the Ultimate Ancient Realm Body significantly!” Dao Ancestor Jinchen said.

After some discussion, the initial agreement was that Blackwind Mountain and Heavenly Emperor Palace would each receive four hundred slots. Just when both sides had agreed, Ye Tian suddenly spoke:

“I disagree. I think Blackwind Mountain should receive 450 slots and Heavenly Emperor Palace 350!”

Palace Master Thunder Tribulation became furious and glared at Ye Tian angrily. “Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, don’t push your luck! Even Dao Ancestor Jinchen of your Blackwind Mountain has agreed. You’re merely an Invincible Dao Ancestor; what right do you have to object? If you want those fifty extra slots, ask Dao Ancestor Jinchen yourself. Our four hundred slots from Heavenly Emperor Palace cannot be touched!”

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Jinchen also felt Ye Tian was going too far.

More importantly, Jinchen was the leader. For Ye Tian to openly object after he had already agreed was disrespectful to his authority.

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, enough of this matter. I’ll agree to allocate thirty slots specifically to your Human Race. That should be sufficient!” Dao Ancestor Jinchen declared.

After all, Ye Tian had extraordinary potential. Even at just the Invincible Dao Ancestor realm, he possessed battle strength equal to an All-Things Half-Step Domain Ancestor. It was certain he would reach Unity Half-Step Domain Ancestor level in the future, so Jinchen didn’t want to excessively offend him.

“Dao Ancestor Jinchen, I know what I’m doing!” Ye Tian transmitted.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian flashed directly in front of Palace Master Thunder Tribulation, saying, “Palace Master Thunder Tribulation, let’s make a bet. You and I fight for three minutes. If I don’t lose ground, I get those fifty slots. If I lose, I’ll personally give the thirty slots promised by Blackwind Mountain to your Heavenly Emperor Palace. How about it?”

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!” Dao Ancestor Jinchen exclaimed urgently.

You’re not asking for slots; you’re simply giving them away!
