Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1055: Journey to the Dark Forbidden Domain

TL: Etude

In the years that followed, Ye Tian kept a low profile, focusing his energy entirely on the study of cultivation.

After reincarnating and starting their cultivation anew, both Xiao Yue and Ye Yu gradually reached the True Monarch Realm.

At the same time, a considerable number of Half-Step True Ancestors emerged in the quasi-Dao Realm, including dozens from the Human Race alone.

This development largely stemmed from Ye Tian’s contributions to the Human Race.

Ye Tian’s resources now exceeded those of many Dao Ancestors. Just a fraction of his resources was enough to support the Human Race in nurturing numerous Half-Step True Ancestors.

If not for the restrictions of the quasi-Dao Realm, the Human Race might have already produced True Ancestors.

In the blink of an eye, a million years passed.

During this time, a major upheaval erupted in the Infinite Abyss, a war waged between the top factions and the Beastmaster Sect. Dozens of True Ancestor-level Abyss Lords from the Beastmaster Sect appeared, slaughtering countless Half-Step True Ancestors and True Monarchs, leading to severe losses for the major factions.

Under the rules of the quasi-Dao Realm, however, these dozens of True Ancestors eventually perished, succumbing to the relentless damage inflicted by the Half-Step True Ancestors.

Nevertheless, a portion of the Infinite Abyss Fragment was seized by the Beastmaster Sect. That section became a forbidden zone, where entry meant certain death.

Some peripheral regions, controlled by the top factions, held little value as they contained few Harmony Treasures.

Over time, interest in the Infinite Abyss waned.

The major factions had suffered too greatly there, and as the Abyss continued to spawn more demonic creatures, it became impossible to hold. With losses outweighing the benefits, no one wanted to continue sending forces there. And so, the matter gradually came to an end.

“My soul and the Dao have nearly merged by eighty percent. My soul and Dao are so strong, vastly surpassing others, that a complete fusion will take an enormous amount of time!” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

He also understood that he’d spent a great deal of time studying and cultivating new Dao techniques.

A million years ago, he knew only two Dao techniques: the Void Splitting Technique and Spatial Escape.

Now, Ye Tian had mastered five Dao techniques.

These five techniques included a defensive Dao technique—Purple-Gold True Body, a sealing Dao technique—Heavenly Emperor’s Imperial Seal, an offensive Dao technique—Ten Inferno Dragons, and an ice attribute Dao technique—Blue Nether Absolute Ice.

The mastery of these five techniques significantly boosted Ye Tian’s power, greatly diversifying his skills and virtually eliminating his weaknesses.

Overall, Ye Tian’s strength had increased at least fivefold since a million years prior.

“The quasi-Dao Realm constantly evolves, yet even at this rate, it’ll take a long time for it to fully transform into the Dao Realm. But over time, True Ancestors might use secret techniques to force their way into the quasi-Dao Realm, and the dormant True Ancestors from various Domain Realm factions may awaken.

At that point, the situation in the quasi-Dao Realm will become quite complicated!” Ye Tian sighed.

However, he knew he couldn’t stop these changes. All he could do was continue to strengthen himself to protect the Human Race, his loved ones, and the Void Sky Hall.

A few more years passed.

One day, an incarnation of Dao Ancestor Void Sky descended.

“Master!” Ye Tian greeted respectfully.

“My disciple, the time is about right. Although you haven’t reached the peak of the Half-Step True Ancestor Realm, you’re ready to go to the Dark Forbidden Domain.

The situation in the quasi-Dao Realm is changing rapidly, and I worry that if you wait too long, you may lose the chance to leave this realm.

Right now, we’re in a period of calm, making it the perfect time to depart without drawing much attention.” Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained.

“Master, let us go then!” Ye Tian responded.

With that, Ye Tian tore through the barrier of the quasi-Dao Realm and departed.

As soon as Ye Tian exited the quasi-Dao Realm, the true form of Dao Ancestor Void Sky met him and swiftly took him away, vanishing into the vast expanse of Chaos.

…

It was Ye Tian’s first time entering Chaos, and he was struck by its immense vastness.

Compared to Chaos, even the quasi-Dao Realm seemed insignificant, like a lone leaf on the vast sea.

However, within Chaos, Ye Tian could accelerate his speed to a remarkable extent, easily traversing space, making travel extremely convenient.

Still, he allowed Dao Ancestor Void Sky to guide him on their journey; with his own cultivation level, reaching the opportunity within the Dark Forbidden Domain would take him an unthinkably long time.

In reality, Ye Tian’s quasi-Dao Realm wasn’t too far from the Dark Forbidden Domain. But the place Dao Ancestor Void Sky intended to take him lay in a different direction from the nearby edge of the Dark Forbidden Domain.

Moreover, travel within the Dark Forbidden Domain posed significant risks, so they needed to enter through the nearest edge of the domain to ensure both safety and speed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Dao Ancestor Void Sky led Ye Tian to a boundless dark region. Normally, Chaos appeared dark to most people, but to a Half-Step True Ancestor, it looked no different from daylight.

Yet, the area before them was truly shrouded in darkness—a darkness that seemed to transcend the laws of nature, one that even the Law of Light couldn’t illuminate.

“This is the Dark Forbidden Domain,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky said, pointing at the darkened region.

As he neared the Dark Forbidden Domain, Ye Tian sensed an overwhelming terror creeping over him, an endless, chilling fear that seemed to penetrate his very being.

“And we haven’t even entered the Dark Forbidden Domain yet. It’s already hard to endure—going further in must be even more terrifying!” he thought.

“Here, take this!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky handed him a black leaf. “This is a Dark Nether Leaf, which will shield you from the corrosive power of the Dark Forbidden Domain. Without it, even True Ancestors wouldn’t survive here. Only Dao Ancestors can barely manage to survive, and even then, only at the outer edges.”

Ye Tian took the Dark Nether Leaf, fastening it to himself, and immediately felt a sense of relief.

“Remember,” Dao Ancestor Void Sky cautioned, “once you enter the Dark Forbidden Domain, no matter what you hear or see, do not engage with it. Otherwise, you might encounter something truly horrific, and even I may not be able to protect you!”

Ye Tian nodded, indicating he understood.

Without further delay, the two of them entered the Dark Forbidden Domain.

As soon as they crossed the threshold, Ye Tian felt a terrifying power invading his body. Though most of it was blocked by the Dark Nether Leaf, the residual force still made him extremely uncomfortable.

With Dao Ancestor Void Sky shielding him, they traversed the Dark Forbidden Domain, heading toward an unknown region.

Throughout the journey, Ye Tian continuously heard eerie sounds and occasionally glimpsed shadowy figures flitting past him. Several times, he nearly called out to Dao Ancestor Void Sky to warn him.

But he remembered his master’s warning and refrained.

After all, if there was something there, Dao Ancestor Void Sky would certainly notice it—how could he miss it?

“Is it an illusion, or could it actually be something unique?” Ye Tian wondered.

Yet he knew his own strength was insufficient to investigate such things. Otherwise, he’d end up dying without even knowing how. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Their flight lasted three whole days.

By then, Ye Tian was on the verge of collapse, bearing not only physical injuries but also a significant mental strain. An unseen force gnawed at his mind, as if subjecting him to endless torment, making it difficult for him to remain calm.

“Master, the Forbidden Palace’s headquarters is set up in the Dark Forbidden Domain. But if this place is so terrifying, how can they have True Monarch disciples? Wouldn’t they be doomed if they tried to leave?” Ye Tian couldn’t resist asking.

After all, he was barely enduring, so how could the Forbidden Palace disciples fare any better? Wouldn’t the weaker ones simply perish upon venturing out?

Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained, “The Forbidden Palace’s body refinement techniques provide some resistance against the Dark Forbidden Domain’s power, and they seldom leave the domain. Also, rumor has it their headquarters is near the edge of the domain. Even you could fly out in a few minutes, so it’s not as dangerous. If they were deeper inside, that would be a death wish!”

“I see!” Ye Tian understood.

After a little while longer, Ye Tian finally heard the words he’d been hoping for.

“We’re here!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky whispered.

(Yes, I know the Dao techniques don’t add up to five, so there seems to be an error.)
