Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1008: The Seed of Reincarnation

TL: Etude

“You’re the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian?”

A young man appeared before Ye Tian. His entire body was covered in scales, with a brilliant star-shaped horn on his head. On top of that, the dense aura of a chaos lifeform radiated from him. How could Ye Tian not recognize who he was? It was clear that this person was a True Monarch of the Starhorn Beast Clan.

“I am Ye Tian. And you are…?” Ye Tian asked.

Of course, he already knew the young man’s identity. Just moments ago, he had used his Copy Talent to verify it. The youth was Tuo Long, a member of the Starhorn Beast Clan, and he was one of the recently rising geniuses making waves across the battlefield ruins.

“Tuo Long of the Starhorn Beast Clan!” Tuo Long’s expression darkened as he answered coldly.

He was the foremost genius of the Starhorn Beast Clan, and his achievements in the battlefield ruins had been outstanding. Yet Ye Tian claimed not to know who he was?

“And what do you want from me, Tuo Long?” Ye Tian asked with some confusion.

“A duel!” Tuo Long declared. “The other True Monarchs say you’re powerful, that you even killed a Dao Ancestor’s incarnation. I find that hard to believe. But if you managed to claim the top spot on the True Monarch Rankings, your strength can’t be weak!”

Tuo Long knew the True Monarch Rankings was fair and impartial. However, rankings didn’t tell the whole story. A person’s combat strength encompassed many aspects. As the top genius of the Starhorn Beast Clan, Tuo Long had countless secret techniques and trump cards at his disposal. He didn’t think that the ranking alone could fully reflect his capabilities.

“I don’t have time for a duel.” Ye Tian flatly refused.

He saw no benefit in dueling Tuo Long. If he seriously injured him, it would only invite trouble from the Starhorn Beast Clan, escalating the conflict further. On the other hand, if he deliberately held back or lost, that wasn’t something Ye Tian was willing to do either. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

“What? You’re refusing to duel me?” Tuo Long was stunned.

His clan loved battle more than anything. No one in his clan had ever refused a duel. The idea of someone turning down a challenge was beyond his understanding.

“You coward! You’re afraid to fight me?” Tuo Long sneered in disdain.

“Hey, what’s in it for me? There’s no benefit for me in dueling you. I came here to seek opportunities, not to fight or kill.” Ye Tian replied calmly.

“A benefit…” Tuo Long’s expression shifted slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, “If you defeat me, I’ll give you a Dao Artifact!”

“A Dao Artifact?” Ye Tian chuckled in response.

A Dao Artifact might have been extremely valuable in the past, perhaps even enough to spark a battle among Dao Ancestors. But now, Dao Artifacts meant little to him, and he couldn’t care less about them.

“I have plenty of Dao Artifacts. I don’t need any more.” Ye Tian said indifferently.

Only then did Tuo Long realize how much the value of things had changed. A powerful figure like Ye Tian likely had no shortage of Dao Artifacts, inheritances, or resources.

“How about this? If you defeat me, I’ll give you a Seed of Reincarnation. How does that sound?” Tuo Long offered.

“A Seed of Reincarnation? Are you serious?” Ye Tian asked, visibly shocked.

A Seed of Reincarnation was no ordinary treasure. In the past, its value could rival that of a Dao Artifact. But in today’s era, where Dao Artifacts were commonplace, not even several dozen Dao Artifacts could exchange for a single Seed of Reincarnation.

The Seed of Reincarnation was a supreme treasure that allowed one to start over through reincarnation and cultivation from scratch. For example, if a True Monarch found that their foundation was lacking, they could refine the Seed and begin a new life, rebuilding their path from the ground up.

However, the Seed of Reincarnation came with limitations. It couldn’t guarantee the talent of the next life. There was a risk that the reborn individual might be an ordinary person with average talent. Even if a powerful figure found the reincarnated person and tried to enhance their abilities, certain innate traits were difficult to change fundamentally.

For instance, basic comprehension could be improved, but only to a certain limit. Combat talent, for example, was sometimes an innate instinct or hidden potential that couldn’t be entirely cultivated.

Similarly, willpower, latent potential, and other intangible qualities could not be easily altered.

Even with these risks, the Seed of Reincarnation remained exceptionally rare. Almost every time one appeared, Dao Ancestors would immediately buy it, making it incredibly difficult to obtain.

Ye Tian had heard of the Seed of Reincarnation before, but he had never managed to acquire one. Even the Void Sky lineage did not possess any such seeds.

“Alright, I accept!” Ye Tian nodded.

He needed the Seed of Reincarnation badly. His wife, Xiao Yue, had a weak foundation, and back then, there was little he could do to change it. Although he had granted her talents through external means, such acquired talents couldn’t fundamentally improve her comprehension or enhance her willpower and potential.

Furthermore, due to a lack of resources at the time, Xiao Yue hadn’t built up a strong foundation at the Divine General level, nor had she chosen the path of transcendence.

As things stood, Xiao Yue’s future would likely only see her becoming a weaker True Ancestor at most, with no hope of ever stepping onto the path of a Dao Ancestor.

But with the Seed of Reincarnation, there was hope for Xiao Yue. Ye Tian was determined to obtain it.

“Alright, let’s find a place to fight!” Tuo Long said.

With a whoosh, Ye Tian and Tuo Long flew off into the distance. Several True Monarchs and Dao Ancestor incarnations noticed and, out of curiosity, extended their spiritual senses to observe the battle.

During his fight with Tuo Long, Ye Tian deliberately refrained from using the Sky-Splitting Divine Pillar’s phantom. If he had used it, he could have killed Tuo Long with a single blow.

Even without the Sky-Splitting Divine Pillar, Ye Tian’s strength remained overwhelming.

Facing a monstrous genius with such legendary prowess, Tuo Long didn’t dare hold anything back. He immediately transformed into his true form—a Starhorn Beast.

“Roar!!!”

The massive Starhorn Beast roared, radiating an aura of destruction. It opened its enormous maw, releasing a devastating beam of annihilation aimed directly at Ye Tian.

This was an origin divine ability—Star Extinguishing Light!

However, Ye Tian activated his Blood River True Body and, with a single Spacequake, shattered Tuo Long’s attack effortlessly. The shockwave from the Spacequake rippled through the void, directly impacting Tuo Long’s massive body and causing cracks to spread across his flesh.

Then, without missing a beat, Ye Tian unleashed the Yin-Yang Dual Limit Saber, slashing it toward Tuo Long.

Slash!

Blood spurted violently from Tuo Long’s body, as if a river of blood had descended from the sky.

“Impossible!” Tuo Long gasped in disbelief.

One life-saving treasure after another activated on Tuo Long’s body, including a top-tier defensive half-Dao Artifact, but none of them could withstand Ye Tian’s attack. The artifact was pierced straight through.

The gap between their strengths was insurmountable—like the difference between heaven and earth!

“Do you admit defeat?” Ye Tian asked.

Tuo Long wanted to refuse, but the injuries continued to take their toll. His body was falling apart, and he no longer had the strength to keep fighting.

“I admit defeat.” Tuo Long said reluctantly.

With no other choice, he tossed a box toward Ye Tian before being carried away by two Half-Step True Ancestors who supported him as they left.

The battle between Ye Tian and Tuo Long left everyone in awe of Ye Tian’s overwhelming strength. The True Monarchs from the Forbidden Palace and Dao Mountain, who had initially harbored thoughts of challenging Ye Tian, abandoned those ideas the moment they witnessed the fight.

At that moment…

The incarnations of several Dao Ancestors launched a simultaneous assault on the ruins of the Fallen Sun Sect’s headquarters. At the same time, a large number of True Monarchs surged into the ruins, eager to claim its treasures.
