Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1009: The Descent of a True Ancestor

TL: Etude

…

At the Sunset Sect Ruins, numerous Dao Ancestor incarnations and True Monarchs surged in, relentlessly attacking a powerful killing formation.

In the past, the formations Ye Tian encountered had all been unguarded, drastically weakening their power by tenfold or more. Without control, these formations were rigid and posed minimal threats.

However, the formation protecting the Sunset Sect was different. It was actively controlled, and its might was formidable. A single Dao Ancestor incarnation was completely unable to withstand it alone.

But with the combined strength of many Dao Ancestor incarnations and millions of True Monarchs, the formation quickly fell.

Even so, the Sunset Sect ruins were vast, and the formations within it were endless and ever-changing. No matter how powerful the Dao Ancestor incarnations were, it was impossible to break all the formations in one fell swoop.

Ye Tian followed the army into the Sunset Sect.

The sect’s scale far surpassed that of the Sky-Splitting Sect, and from the size of its domain alone, it was evident that the Sunset Sect’s power was leagues beyond the Sky-Splitting Sect.

After all, one was a Third Heaven force, while the other was a Fourth Heaven force. Though it seemed like only a difference of one heaven, the disparity between a force of the Lower Three Heavens and the Middle Three Heavens was enormous.

As formation after formation was broken, countless buildings were plundered by the invading experts. All the treasures and resources within were swiftly seized. Minor disputes arose between True Monarchs during the looting, but with so many present—and especially with the Dao Ancestor incarnations overseeing everything—no one dared to engage in serious conflict. A battle that disturbed the Dao Ancestor incarnations would be akin to courting death!

However, the Sunset Sect was filled with dangers. Hidden killing formations lay concealed within various halls and pavilions. Unaware of the traps, some True Monarchs accidentally entered them and were instantly killed by the formations.

Thus, many True Monarchs fell one by one, but many more gained abundant rewards.

While the forces advanced deeper into the Sunset Sect, somewhere within its depths, a hidden space held several consciousnesses in silent exchange.

…

“Damn it! These greedy foreign domain cultivators have actually broken into our Sunset Sect!”

“If it weren’t for us falling into this unfamiliar domain along with the Domain Realm Fragment, each of us gravely injured and forced into slumber with no time to prepare defenses, these people wouldn’t have taken a single step inside our sect!”

“What do we do? Although we’re hiding here, and they can’t find our place of slumber even if they destroy the sect, the Sunset Sect represents our life’s work. We absolutely cannot allow them to ruin it!”

“Right now, only a wisp of our consciousness is awake, while our main bodies remain in slumber. Even if we wake now, we can’t leave this place. The Chaos Dao Origin protects the quasi-Dao Realm. Unless the quasi-Dao Realm is destroyed from the outside, we cannot defy the rules of the Chaos Dao Origin from within. If we forcefully awaken, the backlash could kill or heavily injure even a Dao Ancestor!”

“Although we cannot emerge, the True Ancestor disciples can come out for a brief period. How about we awaken a few of them? They owe their survival to our protection. It’s time for them to repay that debt!”

“Are you crazy? If we do that, the True Ancestor disciples will most likely die. They won’t survive!”

“These True Ancestor disciples are all unparalleled geniuses, each with the potential to become Dao Ancestors in the future. They’re worth cultivating!”

“Have you forgotten? Most of the True Ancestor disciples suffered serious origin injuries when they passed through the Dark Forbidden Domain. We managed to keep them alive, but it’s impossible to fully restore their origins. Fixing their origins would require an enormous price.”

“In that case, we might as well make them useful now!”

“Hmph! If you insist on waking them, do it yourself. I won’t take responsibility. Once we fully awaken in the future, you will be blamed for your reckless actions!”

“If I protect the Sunset Sect, the sect will praise me instead of blaming me!”

…

Within the depths of the Sunset Sect, the Dao Ancestor incarnations and countless True Monarchs had no idea that the Sunset Sect’s Dao Ancestors and a large number of True Ancestor disciples were slumbering in a hidden space. If they had known, they might not have dared to invade at all.

Ye Tian furrowed his brow.

“I feel a sense of unease. Could there be some hidden danger ahead?”

He did not rush to the front lines but instead lingered at the back.

Although the Sunset Sect was a Fourth Heaven force, his gains had been minimal. There were simply too many True Monarchs who had charged into the ruins. With so many people dividing the spoils, it was inevitable that his share would be meager.

The real treasures were undoubtedly located in the core area of the Sunset Sect. If anything extraordinary appeared, the Dao Ancestor incarnations would undoubtedly start fighting each other.

The Dao Ancestor incarnations present this time were no ordinary figures—some were even incarnations of Third Heaven Dao Ancestors.

Ye Tian considered himself quite strong, but at most, he could only contend with Second Heaven Dao Ancestor incarnations. Challenging those of the Third Heaven was something he dared not attempt.

Not to mention that in such a situation, even Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor incarnations could descend at any moment.

Suddenly—

The void over the Sunset Sect trembled, and a wave of oppressive energy spread across the entire area.

“What’s going on?” Tuo Long was startled, his expression slightly shifting.

Two Half-Step True Ancestors immediately stepped forward to protect him.

Ye Tian also became extremely cautious, preparing to retreat at any moment.

Boom! The void split open, and a figure emerged.

As soon as this person appeared, golden chains materialized out of thin air and wrapped around him, continuously suppressing him. Even the surrounding world seemed to exert all its strength to weigh him down.

“A True Ancestor!”

Everyone sensed the presence of this figure, and their faces filled with astonishment.

This was the first True Ancestor to appear in the ruins of this battlefield. In fact, he was the first True Ancestor anyone had seen in the quasi-Dao Realm. After all, even the Dao Ancestor incarnations here were only Half-Step True Ancestors, still far from reaching the True Ancestor level.

“Is this True Ancestor trying to descend by force? Is he courting death? At this time, forcing a descent will bring origin backlash, which alone is enough to kill him!” One of the Dao Ancestor incarnations spoke in confusion.

“No, he’s not from our domain. He’s a True Ancestor of the Sunset Sect. Look at his robes—they belong to the inner disciples of the Sunset Sect!” A Dao Ancestor incarnation exclaimed in shock.

“What? A True Ancestor from the Sunset Sect? There were really survivors from the Domain Realm Fragment?”

Countless True Monarchs were utterly stunned, struggling to believe what they were witnessing.

“You dare invade the Sunset Sect and force me to awaken! You are all courting death!” The True Ancestor of the Sunset Sect roared furiously.

His origin was undergoing backlash, and the origin chains tightened further, suppressing him relentlessly. He could only hold on for an hour at most before meeting certain death.

Originally, he only needed to endure through this slumber period to survive. But now, all of it had been in vain.

Although it was the Dao Ancestors of the Sunset Sect who had forcibly awakened him, he dared not harbor any resentment toward them. Instead, all his rage was directed at these foreign domain cultivators.

His killing intent surged, sharp as a blade.
