Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1057: Mastering the Dark Forbidden Power

TL: Etude

The second attempt ended just like the first, in failure, with the replicated body collapsing instantly.

However, the second attempt managed to last longer than the first, and Ye Tian gained a hint of insight and began to perceive some patterns, allowing him to attain a slight understanding of the Dark Forbidden Power.

Strictly speaking, Dark Forbidden Power was also a type of origin force, but it was the most primal form of origin force, incomparably violent and immensely powerful. The source power of the Great Dao within the domain, in comparison, seemed like a diluted version, with the forbidden power stripped away, leaving only pure origin force.

One could say that Dark Forbidden Power was the true original and purest form of power—but also the hardest to control.

Seeing Ye Tian’s second attempt end in failure, Dao Ancestor Void Sky did not appear disappointed but rather looked intrigued.

After all, he could see that Ye Tian’s second attempt had shown improvement. If he continued making attempts, it was possible he would eventually gain control over the Dark Forbidden Power.

Most importantly, Ye Tian’s actions carried no risk.

“Disciple, I will accelerate time 100,000-fold again to aid your swift recovery!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky promptly said.

“Understood!” Ye Tian nodded in acknowledgment.

With the 100,000-fold time acceleration, Ye Tian passed the equivalent of ten thousand years, once again gaining the ability to use his Copy Body technique.

And so, Ye Tian attempted again and again.

Five times! Ten times! Each attempt added more experience and insights to Ye Tian’s understanding.

By the twelfth attempt, Ye Tian’s body steadily absorbed and refined the Dark Forbidden Power while maintaining a stable state.

After a full month had passed, Ye Tian finally succeeded in refining a trace of Dark Forbidden Power. Although his body had suffered significant erosion, he had successfully refined a wisp of Dark Forbidden Power.

This marked the beginning of success! Immediately, he used this wisp of Dark Forbidden Power to merge with his physical body, refining his physique and absorbing the remnants of Dark Forbidden Power within.

In this way, Ye Tian’s body gradually recovered, refining the Dark Forbidden Power one wisp at a time.

After a lengthy period, Ye Tian finally attained mastery over the Dark Forbidden Power.

Now, he could use the Dark Forbidden Power to refine his physical body, strengthen his physical force, and even gradually imbue his divine power with a unique characteristic. Upon advancing to the True Ancestor level, his divine power would immediately transform into Dark Forbidden True Ancestral Force.

“Success!”

Both Ye Tian and Dao Ancestor Void Sky were delighted.

However, Ye Tian refrained from using his true body to test this newfound ability, as he had only succeeded once, and it was still far from perfect. Although he had gained control over the Dark Forbidden Power, his foundational stability had been compromised.

Thus, Ye Tian needed to conduct more trials to ensure a stable success rate while preserving his foundation, striving for flawless mastery over the Dark Forbidden Power.

Ye Tian then proceeded with multiple additional trials, achieving success almost every time, and eventually reached a point of near-perfect control over the Dark Forbidden Power, with minimal injury.

“Disciple, it’s time. Let your true body attempt to refine the Dark Forbidden Power and seize complete control over it!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky urged.

Ye Tian nodded, allowing his true body to ascend and swallow a black lotus seed, initiating the process of refining the Dark Forbidden Power.

Time flowed steadily. In just three days, Ye Tian had gained initial control over the forbidden power. Within a month, he achieved perfect mastery over the Dark Forbidden Power, beginning to refine his physical form. Though his physical body had already reached an extreme level, with the refinement of Dark Forbidden Power, his physical strength surged further, and the rate of increase was considerable.

“Disciple, continue refining for a while longer. Then, work toward fully absorbing that black lotus within yourself. It serves as a source of Dark Forbidden Power, and if you manage to refine it, you will be able to cultivate the Dark Forbidden Power even in the quasi-Dao Realm. This will greatly benefit your future cultivation of a Forbidden Body!” Dao Ancestor Void Sky advised.

“Master, I’ll give it a try!” Ye Tian replied calmly.

He initially attempted to refine the black lotus, but his command over the Dark Forbidden Power remained insufficient, making it difficult to fully refine the lotus.

Therefore, Ye Tian continued his cultivation, gradually mastering more of the Dark Forbidden Power.

After ten years, Ye Tian could finally begin the preliminary refinement of the black lotus. This process took an entire hundred years to complete. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

One day,

Boom! The Dark Forbidden Lake trembled as the Forbidden Black Lotus slowly rose from the lake, refined into Ye Tian’s body.

Afterward, Ye Tian activated the Forbidden Black Lotus, absorbing the countless dark forbidden waters from the lake.

A long time passed before the black lotus finished absorbing it all.

“I wonder how long it will take for another Forbidden Black Lotus to form here again,” Ye Tian murmured, sighing.

Having gained control over the Dark Forbidden Power, Ye Tian no longer lingered in this place.

With Dao Ancestor Void Sky escorting him, Ye Tian left the Dark Forbidden Domain and returned to the quasi-Dao Realm.

Throughout the journey, they did not arouse any suspicions from any force.

…

Quasi-Dao Realm, Human Territory.

After returning, Ye Tian began to study the Dark Forbidden Power.

For now, the Dark Forbidden Power did not offer him much advantage. Since he possessed so little of it, it could harm enemies but not inflict severe damage.

Of course, if he infused some Dark Forbidden Power into his attacks, it would enhance his combat strength to an extent.

However, Ye Tian’s strongest techniques were still his Dao techniques, which could not integrate with the Dark Forbidden Power. Thus, it did not significantly amplify his power.

For Ye Tian, only after advancing to True Ancestor would the Dark Forbidden Power reveal its full potential, greatly boosting his strength.

His current task was to elevate his cultivation to the limit of the Half-Step True Ancestor and refine each Dao technique to the perfected or even limit realm.

As time passed, the quasi-Dao Realm underwent increasingly profound changes.

For instance, among the Divine General tier, more and more ten-star Divine Generals emerged. With the continuous discovery of Domain Realm inheritances, the entire cultivation system transformed. Abundant resources made achieving the ten-star Divine General level feasible.

In such an environment, those below ten-star Divine General could no longer even consider becoming disciples of a Dao Ancestor.

As for the nine-star Divine Generals, they became common. Once hailed as peerless heavenly prides, nine-star Divine Generals were now considered ordinary.

These nine-star and ten-star Divine Generals progressed one after another, advancing to Heavenly Monarch and True Monarch, overwhelming the older generation of True Monarchs.

In a way, the entire quasi-Dao Realm was experiencing a reshuffling of power.

The established Half-Step True Ancestors were successively defeated by newly advanced ones, and even prominent figures like True Monarch Dragon Sea were being outpaced by newer talents from Void Sky Palace, with a few even surpassing him.

Yet there was one individual no one dared challenge—Ye Tian.

Once, a Half-Step True Ancestor attempted to provoke Ye Tian and was instantly struck down from afar with a single finger. The incident shocked countless Half-Step True Ancestors, and none dared to challenge Ye Tian again.

In the blink of an eye, millions of years passed.

“My soul has fused with the Great Dao to its utmost limit, and I can attempt the breakthrough to True Ancestor at any time. I have cultivated over a dozen Dao techniques, each reaching the limit realm,” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

However, his greatest progress was in his mastery of the Dark Forbidden Power. He had strengthened his physical body tremendously and could nearly release the Dark Forbidden Power outward for attacks.

If the Dark Forbidden Power were formed into a spear, it would rival a strike of his Dao technique.

Yet at Ye Tian’s current level, it was difficult to improve his Dark Forbidden Power further. He would need to reach the True Ancestor level for continued progress.

It could be said that Ye Tian had reached the peak of the Half-Step True Ancestor tier; further advancement would only be possible with the breakthrough to True Ancestor.

Many other Half-Step True Ancestors found themselves in a similar situation.

But until the quasi-Dao Realm elevated to the Dao Realm, no one dared to rush into the True Ancestor realm carelessly. Attempting this breakthrough too soon would result in serious drawbacks and even carry the risk of death.

Finally, after tens of thousands of years, the quasi-Dao Realm experienced a momentous change!
