Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1053: The Birth of Over a Hundred Dao Ancestors

TL: Etude

“What’s going on? How can yet another True Ancestor attempt to break through to the Dao Ancestor realm today?”

Many disciples of the Void Sky lineage were shocked.

By conventional wisdom, two True Ancestors attempting a breakthrough to the Dao Ancestor realm at the same time seemed almost impossible. All True Ancestors knew each other well, and such a significant event required carefully choosing an auspicious day and being in prime condition.

Attempting the Dao Ancestor breakthrough simultaneously could spell trouble. If the first one failed, it could undoubtedly impact the subsequent True Ancestor trying to advance.

Therefore, the Void Sky lineage had never seen two True Ancestors make such an attempt at the same time.

Soon enough, people recognized this particular True Ancestor—it turned out to be the incredibly ancient True Ancestor Owl Bone.

Boom!

Infinite golden light erupted as True Ancestor Owl Bone successfully broke through to the Dao Ancestor realm.

Two Dao Ancestors!

In a single day, the Void Sky lineage had gained two Dao Ancestors. What an unprecedented honor! But soon, everyone was dumbfounded.

One True Ancestor after another began attempting to reach the Dao Ancestor realm, with signs of success emerging at intervals.

As time passed, the number of new Dao Ancestors in the Void Sky lineage steadily increased.

Three! Five! Eight! Ten! Twenty!

“What is going on?”

One late-stage Grand Dao True Ancestor in the Void Sky lineage questioned the newly ascended Dao Ancestors.

He found it incredibly bizarre. Could it really be so easy to become a Dao Ancestor? Though some had failed, the majority succeeded! If the True Ancestors of the Void Sky lineage were this powerful, they wouldn’t have had only a handful of Dao Ancestors through the ages.

“This is a secret of the Void Sky lineage and cannot be disclosed for now!” said Dao Ancestor Void Sky.

At this, others in the Void Sky lineage dared not inquire further.

Three years soon passed.

Due to the complete lockdown of the Void Sky Realm, and because most major forces were focused on relics within the quasi-Dao Realm, no one paid attention to developments within the Void Sky Realm.

Thus, the emergence of numerous Dao Ancestors in the Void Sky lineage remained hidden, allowing the lineage to flourish securely.

After three years, all one hundred True Ancestors had completed their attempts.

This time, the Void Sky lineage birthed seventy-three new Dao Ancestors. Around thirty True Ancestors failed in their breakthrough attempts.

For these True Ancestors, their chances of becoming Dao Ancestors had diminished considerably; using Harmony Treasures to aid future breakthroughs would be significantly more difficult.

However, as new domain artifacts continued to surface, they still harbored hopes of reaching the Dao Ancestor realm.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky discussed the situation with the domain artifacts, giving hope to those who failed in their breakthroughs that they might find another path to Dao Ancestor status through these artifacts.

“It’s time to call back those top-tier True Ancestors who have been wandering within the Chaos,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky murmured.

In a distant region of Chaos, within a particular relic.

East Dawn opened his eyes as he cultivated inside the relic, “My master has summoned me back to the Void Sky Realm?”

True Ancestor East Dawn was the seventeenth personal disciple of Dao Ancestor Void Sky. An ancient True Ancestor with considerable combat power, he had once fought a First Heaven Dao Ancestor to a standstill.

Yet, after several failed breakthrough attempts, he had wandered within the Chaos for countless ages, and Dao Ancestor Void Sky had not contacted him during that time.

But now, a message had arrived from Dao Ancestor Void Sky.

“It’s time to return,” murmured True Ancestor East Dawn.

In the next instant, he vanished from the relic.

East Dawn’s situation was not unique; one True Ancestor after another began returning to the Void Sky Realm.

Even the True Ancestors stationed at the temporary outposts outside the quasi-Dao Realm returned to the Void Sky Realm, leaving those who had failed their breakthrough attempts to guard these locations in their stead.

This movement naturally attracted the attention of other forces, who immediately sent people to investigate the situation in the Void Sky Realm.

Soon, they received news.

“Impossible! How could the Void Sky lineage produce seventy-three Dao Ancestors in just three short years!?” Dark God Ancestor of the Dark God Palace roared in fury.

The Dark God Palace was a top-tier power, publicly claiming over ten Dao Ancestors but, in reality, possessing close to thirty.

They had never considered a force like the Void Sky lineage worthy of their attention.

Now, with the Void Sky lineage suddenly gaining 73 new Dao Ancestors, their total had reached nearly 80 Dao Ancestors.

Apart from the four transcendent forces, no other faction could match the Void Sky lineage in Dao Ancestors.

Instantly, jealousy flared among all major powers, and factions with old grudges against the Void Sky lineage grew even more anxious.

Even the four transcendent forces were unsettled; if the Void Sky lineage continued developing at this pace, they would undoubtedly become the fifth transcendent force, perhaps even surpassing them.

“Investigate! We must uncover how the Void Sky lineage has managed to birth so many Dao Ancestors,” ordered the Dao Ancestors of the top factions.

Yet as time passed, the Void Sky lineage’s Dao Ancestor numbers only continued to grow.

Ten years later, they had surpassed one hundred Dao Ancestors, reaching a total of 110.

Though most were First Heaven Dao Ancestors, it was notoriously difficult for Dao Ancestors to kill each other. A couple of First Heaven Dao Ancestors could easily stall a Second Heaven Dao Ancestor for a considerable amount of time.

On this day…

The Dark God Palace, Blood Moon Sect, Soul Devouring Sect, Demonic Sound Sect, and the Three-Eyed Tailhorn Clan sent five Third Heaven Dao Ancestors and thirty Second Heaven Dao Ancestors to ambush Dao Ancestor Void Sky.

They could not stand by as the Void Sky lineage continued to grow unchecked; they believed that if they could kill Void Sky, the Void Sky lineage would lose its top combat power.

They even dared to infiltrate the Void Sky lineage itself, hoping that uncovering its great secrets would allow their own factions to grow exponentially.

They assumed their surprise attack would succeed in killing Dao Ancestor Void Sky, but they never expected Void Sky’s strength to be on the verge of the Fourth Heaven Dao Ancestor realm.

The battle was intense, lasting for a full three months.

During the battle, many Dao Ancestors of the Void Sky lineage joined in. Ultimately, the Void Sky lineage lost three First Heaven Dao Ancestors, with over thirty Dao Ancestors sustaining severe injuries.

The five attacking forces fared worse; four of the five Third Heaven Dao Ancestors perished, and eighteen of the thirty Second Heaven Dao Ancestors also fell, with the rest retreating, all gravely wounded.

The Dark God Palace suffered the heaviest losses, as it had contributed the most combatants.

Following the battle, the Void Sky lineage declared war against the Dark God Palace, Blood Moon Sect, Soul Devouring Sect, Demonic Sound Sect, and the Three-Eyed Tailhorn Clan—a war to the death.

In truth, aside from the Dark God Palace, all other factions lost their Third Heaven Dao Ancestors, severely weakening their overall power.

One month later, on a certain day, the Void Sky lineage broke through the Dao Realm of the Three-Eyed Tailhorn Clan, annihilating the entire clan.

A year later, the Void Sky lineage eradicated the Soul Devouring Sect.

Three years after that, they destroyed the Blood Moon Sect headquarters; only one Dao Ancestor managed to escape into the Dark Forbidden Domain, effectively marking their extinction.

The Demonic Sound Sect had abandoned their headquarters early on, so only a portion of their True Ancestors and disciples were hunted down, with no trace of their Dao Ancestors found.

The Dark God Palace remained too elusive; its headquarters was unknown, making it impossible for the Void Sky lineage to pursue its Dao Ancestors.

Nonetheless, this campaign cemented the Void Sky lineage’s momentum, hinting at their rise as a potential fifth transcendent force.

While they lost three Dao Ancestors in the battle, numerous True Ancestors ascended to Dao Ancestor, and many mid- to late-stage Grand Dao True Ancestors continued pushing toward the peak of True Ancestor.

Once they reached the pinnacle, Dao Ancestor Void Sky would grant them Harmony Treasures to aid their breakthroughs.

Meanwhile, in the quasi-Dao Realm.

Over recent times, Ye Tian had closely followed developments within the Void Sky Realm, feeling much relief upon hearing of their great victory.

“Over a hundred Dao Ancestors now. At this rate, they’ll soon surpass two hundred,” Ye Tian murmured.

Yet he knew well that this was still far too few Dao Ancestors.

In the Domain Realm, even a mid-level Third Heaven force boasted more Dao Ancestors than the Void Sky lineage. And as for the Upper Three Heavens forces, their Dao Ancestor numbers were truly staggering.

Whoosh! The void rippled as Dao Ancestor Void Sky’s avatar descended.

“Master!” Ye Tian greeted respectfully.

“My disciple,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky’s voice burned with fury. “Immediately launch an assault on the True Nations of the Dark God Palace, Blood Moon Sect, Soul Devouring Sect, Demonic Sound Sect, and Three-Eyed Tailhorn Clan. Wipe out all five True Nations, and cut off any hope of their resurgence!”

Ye Tian understood the reason behind Dao Ancestor Void Sky’s wrath. Though the Void Sky lineage had won the battle, they had lost three Dao Ancestors, one of whom had been Void Sky’s personal disciple.

That was why Dao Ancestor Void Sky’s anger was so fierce.

“Yes!” Ye Tian responded firmly.
