Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1032: Infinite Abyss

TL: Etude

Although Ye Tian did not require Harmony treasures for himself—since he could merge with the Dao easily—it did not mean he had no interest in such treasures. Some Harmony treasures served as supportive tools without causing any side effects, which were essential for Xiao Yue and Ye Yu, as well as other members of the human race.

Ye Tian cared deeply about the human race and sought to develop it to its full potential.

If the human race could produce a large number of Dao Ancestors, it would be able to protect itself even in the face of future golden eras.

Moreover, Ye Tian also needed an immense amount of resources.

Although he currently had no shortage of resources, once he advanced to the top-tier True Ancestor level or even the Dao Ancestor level, his existing resources would no longer suffice.

Sometimes, no amount of ordinary resources could be exchanged for a single top-level one.

For example, even if the combined wealth of ten top-tier True Ancestors were offered, it still wouldn’t be enough to buy a single supreme treasure capable of aiding in Dao-merging. Ironically, such treasures weren’t necessarily considered particularly valuable on their own.

However, in this domain, everyone desired these Harmony treasures and was willing to sacrifice everything to obtain them.

In truth, few were willing to sell such treasures, for each Harmony treasure often meant the birth of a Dao Ancestor.

Top-tier forces were willing to exhaust all their wealth if it meant creating a few more Dao Ancestors. With more Dao Ancestors, their strength would grow, and they would have the power to acquire even greater resources.

Over a hundred years passed in a flash.

On this day, Dao Ancestor Deep Coffin notified the Half-Step True Ancestors of the Void Sky Hall that the ancient ruin had finally emerged.

As a result, one after another, the Half-Step True Ancestors from the Void Sky Hall departed from the Void Sky True Nation. Only a few decided to stay behind, feeling their strength was insufficient and unwilling to take the risk, thus forfeiting this opportunity.

Such a choice could not be considered wrong. After all, staying safe ensured they could live longer, and if fortune smiled upon them in the future, they might still find a chance to ascend to the Dao Ancestor level.

…

The Dark Domain True Nation.

This was the True Nation of the Dark Domain Demon Sect, where the ruin had appeared.

The Dark Domain Demon Sect was not particularly powerful, with only a single Dao Ancestor—a Second Heaven Dao Ancestor. This kind of force was common within the Chaos, ranking as an ordinary major power, slightly superior to forces that had only a First Heaven Dao Ancestor.

Unlike other True Nations, the Dark Domain True Nation was filled with an energy known as Dark Demon Qi, an environment the Dark Domain Demon Sect had deliberately altered.

Within the Dark Demon Qi, the sect’s experts could cultivate at an accelerated pace.

However, the dense, oppressive atmosphere made the entire Dark Domain True Nation feel eerie.

Clatter!

At a teleportation formation, Half-Step True Ancestors appeared one after another, Ye Tian among them.

This location was the massive city of Dark Spirit City, not far from the ruins. All Half-Step True Ancestors had to pass through an interdomain teleportation array to arrive here before proceeding to the ruins.

Ye Tian frowned slightly as he sensed the environment of the Dark Domain True Nation.

Though the environment did not affect him, he found it unpleasant to stay here.

“So many Half-Step True Ancestors!” Ye Tian scanned the area and noted inwardly.

Even without counting those still on their way, the number of Half-Step True Ancestors within Dark Spirit City alone was likely already over a hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand Half-Step True Ancestors!

If none of them perished, that would mean a hundred thousand True Ancestors in the future!

This number was utterly unimaginable in the past. No place could have gathered so many True Ancestors at once, yet now, it seemed entirely normal. And the number of True Ancestors would only continue to grow.

As more Half-Step True Ancestors gathered, rumors about the ruins spread among them, and Ye Tian gradually learned more about it. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Since the specific situation within the ruin remained unclear, it was impossible to send all the Half-Step True Ancestors inside at once. A small group had to be dispatched first to scout the area.

These Half-Step True Ancestors would relay their findings back to the rest.

So far, the information they gathered had both positive and negative aspects.

First, the ruins were exceptionally strange and the environment extremely harsh. It appeared to be a forbidden zone—a forbidden fragment of the Domain Realm.

“The Infinite Abyss Fragment…” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

The Infinite Abyss was an abyss within the Domain Realm. It had formed naturally over endless eras, as dark energy accumulated following the creation of the Domain Realm, giving birth to this forbidden zone.

It was labeled as a forbidden zone because any expert at the True Ancestor level who ventured into it would encounter horrifying dangers. Furthermore, powers at the True Ancestor level could hardly be used within the Infinite Abyss.

Thus, any True Ancestor or Dao Ancestor who entered the Infinite Abyss was almost certain to die. Only the strongest among the Dao Ancestors stood a chance of surviving within it.

The Infinite Abyss was divided into nine layers, and it remained unknown which layer the fragment within this ruin came from.

Regardless of the specific layer, the threat was immense. The most terrifying danger lay in the abyssal creatures that roamed within it. These demonic creatures were driven by bloodlust and slaughter, targeting all living beings indiscriminately—even attacking one another in an endless cycle of carnage.

These abyssal creatures possessed immense power and were extremely difficult to kill. Their only flaw was their lack of intelligence.

However, if surrounded by a large number of them, even the strongest warriors would find themselves in mortal peril.

…

The fragment of the Domain Realm had passed through the Dark Forbidden Domain, which caused most of the abyssal creatures within it to die off. Yet, the Infinite Abyss had the unnatural ability to continuously spawn new abyssal creatures.

There had once been a Dao Ancestor of the Ninth Heaven who wielded a supreme Dao Artifact and stormed through the nine layers of the Infinite Abyss, nearly annihilating all the demonic creatures. But over countless ages, the abyss once again became overrun with them.

This was the information Ye Tian had learned from the archives in the Blackwind Mountain.

It could be said that as long as the Infinite Abyss existed, the abyssal demonic creatures could never be truly eradicated.

Despite the abyss’s extreme danger, it had always attracted many True Monarchs and Half-Step True Ancestors. Although most of them perished within it, many others obtained unimaginable benefits—some even found Harmony treasures.

For this reason, the Infinite Abyss was both a forbidden zone and a dreamland for Half-Step True Ancestors.

On this day, the Infinite Abyss Fragment opened its gates to all Half-Step True Ancestors. One after another, they crossed the entrance and stepped into the fragment of the abyss.

The ground beneath their feet was desolate and blackened, littered with ancient, decayed corpses of abyssal creatures. Many of these bodies were broken or reduced to bare bones, but the eerie, bone-chilling cold that pervaded the air struck fear into the hearts of every Half-Step True Ancestor present.

Ye Tian walked across this bleak land with a grave expression.

He was certain that there were still living abyssal creatures here. If not, the corpses of the abyssal creatures wouldn’t be in such a mangled state, as though they had been gnawed on by other demonic creatures.

Roar!

A ferocious howl echoed through the air.

“The abyssal creatures are coming!” Ye Tian muttered in a low voice.
