Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1069: The Only Way – Challenge True Ancestor Xuanling!

TL: Etude

Within the Great Hall of Void Sky Palace, in the Void Sky True Nation.

Ye Tian, True Ancestor Sheyue, True Ancestor Wumeng, and True Ancestor Xingyue each occupied their respective positions in the Dao Field. Aside from them, many other True Ancestors had gathered there as well.

However, several True Ancestors had not arrived, not because they were absent from the Void Sky True Nation, but because they were stationed at critical points around the nation’s Grand Protection Formation. They had activated the formation to prevent the Void Sky True Nation from being easily breached.

Ye Tian surveyed the assembly, making a rough estimate of the strength among Void Sky lineage’s True Ancestors.

He himself was a Pinnacle True Ancestor. Additionally, there were three Top-tier True Ancestors, a thousand Elite True Ancestors, and several hundred thousand Ordinary True Ancestors. This constituted the True Ancestral Forces of the Void Sky lineage.

Moreover, about a hundred thousand more True Ancestors were hurrying from the Void Sky Realm, but they would need several days to arrive, likely unable to make it in time for the battle.

“Report the number of True Ancestors in the Dark God Palace and the True Ancestors of the Glazed Glass Sect!” True Ancestor Sheyue commanded.

At this, a True Ancestor tasked with intelligence gathering stood up and reported, “Based on our investigation, the Glazed Glass Sect has about ten thousand True Ancestors, including one Pinnacle True Ancestor, dozens of top-tier True Ancestors, nearly 500 Elite True Ancestors, and the rest are Ordinary True Ancestors.

As for the Dark God Palace, it has approximately four top-tier True Ancestors, a thousand Elite True Ancestors, and two hundred thousand Ordinary True Ancestors! In terms of True Ancestor numbers, we have the advantage, but at the top levels, our Void Sky Hall is severely lacking!”

The other True Ancestors, hearing these numbers, showed expressions of despair.

In a battle of this scale, Ordinary True Ancestors were not the deciding factor. Victory still hinged on the strength of the top-tier True Ancestors.

However, the Void Sky lineage’s previous top-tier True Ancestors had exhausted rare Harmony Treasures in their advancement to the Dao Ancestor Realm, leaving them with only three top-tier True Ancestors now, fewer than even the Dark God Palace.

It should be noted that the Dark God Palace, during Void Sky lineage’s pursuit, had already lost several top-tier True Ancestors. If not for that, they would have sent even more top-tier True Ancestors this time.

The Glazed Glass Sect was even more formidable, with dozens of top-tier True Ancestors and a single Pinnacle True Ancestor. How could they possibly fight this?

“Are there no forces willing to support us?” True Ancestor Sheyue asked.

“None,” reported the intelligence-gathering True Ancestor. “Even those factions with close ties to us are unwilling to aid us. They fear the Glazed Glass Sect and don’t want their True Ancestors to fall in large numbers.”

“Does anyone have any ideas? Speak up!” True Ancestor Sheyue said, his tone tinged with despair.

He felt at a loss. Once those dozens of top-tier True Ancestors descended upon them, their own few top-tier True Ancestors would be of no help. If that Pinnacle True Ancestor took action, the three of them might be killed in no time.

Many True Ancestors shook their heads, resigned. They had no solutions.

At that moment, Ye Tian stepped forward and said, “I do have a plan!”

“What plan?” True Ancestor Sheyue’s eyes lit up with hope as he looked toward Ye Tian.

Ye Tian spoke in a deep voice, “The Glazed Glass Sect’s strongest is currently a Pinnacle True Ancestor named Xuanling. Fortunately, the Glazed Glass Sect has only one Pinnacle True Ancestor. If this… Pinnacle True Ancestor were to fall in advance, we could pass through this crisis safely!”

“To kill True Ancestor Xuanling—how could that be possible?”

The True Ancestors shook their heads, thinking this plan was even more unrealistic than a head-on fight. True Ancestor Sheyue furrowed his brows and asked, “True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, you propose killing True Ancestor Xuanling. But how would you do that, and who would do it?”

“I will!” Ye Tian responded. “I recently broke through to the Pinnacle True Ancestor level. If I put everything on the line, there might be a chance to slay True Ancestor Xuanling!”

“What? True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, you’ve advanced to Pinnacle True Ancestor?”

The gathered True Ancestors were all incredulous.

They knew that Ye Tian had only recently achieved the True Ancestor Realm himself, and now he had ascended to Pinnacle True Ancestor so quickly—it was almost unbelievable! True Ancestor Sheyue said, “If you’ve truly entered the ranks of Pinnacle True Ancestors, then you shouldn’t risk your life. I suggest we abandon the Void Sky True Nation and retreat from the Profound Void Ancient Realm. We can strike back another day.”

This suggestion gained the approval of many True Ancestors, who also advocated withdrawing from the Profound Void Ancient Realm.

However, Ye Tian countered, “Once we abandon the Void Sky True Nation, how likely will we be to reclaim it? And if the Dark God Palace gains control of the Void Sky True Nation and the other nations, they will certainly rise swiftly. When that happens, how could we ever resist them? Moreover, without the Profound Void Ancient Realm, even I wouldn’t be able to advance quickly! Remember, the Glazed Glass Sect has a Fifth Heaven Dao Ancestor; we must make rapid progress if we are to contend with the true strength of the Glazed Glass Sect.

If we shrink back now, why even bother resisting? We might as well surrender!”

His words left many True Ancestors speechless. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Indeed! The Profound Void Ancient Realm had essentially become the center of the Dao Mountain Domain, brimming with opportunities. Every True Ancestor there had been advancing rapidly. If they left, it could take them ages to make any progress.

For instance, the Dark God Palace’s foundations within the Profound Void Ancient Realm had been destroyed, resulting in a drastic reduction of its True Ancestors due to relentless pursuit.

In contrast, the Void Sky True Nation’s True Ancestors had continued to emerge in large numbers, surpassing those of the Dark God Palace.

In the past, the Dark God Palace’s True Ancestors vastly outnumbered those of the Void Sky lineage. Yet now, the Void Sky lineage had completely surpassed the Dark God Palace.

If the Void Sky lineage chose to retreat now, they would find it exceedingly difficult to regain the upper hand. Therefore, fleeing was not a viable plan. At that moment, Ye Tian spoke again: “We must take the initiative. I’ll go to the Glazed Glass Sect and issue a public challenge to True Ancestor Xuanling. You all can spread the word widely.

This way, under the weight of public opinion, the Glazed Glass Sect wouldn’t dare to gang up on me.

Moreover, True Ancestor Xuanling, being a Pinnacle True Ancestor, likely won’t regard me as a threat and would surely accept my challenge. When the time comes, I’ll seal off the battlefield and engage True Ancestor Xuanling in a life-or-death duel.

If I manage to kill True Ancestor Xuanling, the Glazed Glass Sect will undoubtedly lose the will to fight against our Void Sky lineage.

This is… the only way to break the deadlock!”

True Ancestor Sheyue did not refute him. This was indeed the only way to break through their predicament.

However, this plan depended on Ye Tian’s victory. If he failed, the Void Sky True Nation would lose any chance of resistance.

“In that case, if I am defeated, you all can immediately abandon the Void Sky True Nation. What do you think?” Ye Tian proposed.

With this assurance, the other True Ancestors had no objections.

“Agreed!”

“I support the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws’s plan!”

“Seconded!”

“Seconded!”

The True Ancestors of Void Sky Hall unanimously approved Ye Tian’s plan.

They wasted no time, fearing that the Glazed Glass Sect might attack at any moment, making even the challenge impossible.

Thus, the True Ancestors quickly spread the news of Ye Tian’s challenge to True Ancestor Xuanling.

Ye Tian immediately tore open the void, leaving the Void Sky True Nation and heading to the ancient spatial ruin where the Glazed Glass Sect resided.

In front of the Glazed Glass Sect’s mountain gate.

Ye Tian, accompanied by True Ancestor Sheyue and several other True Ancestors, issued a formal challenge, wielding the power of his Dao to communicate his intentions.

“True Ancestor Xuanling, you sent assassins after me before. Today, I, the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, challenge you to a duel to the death. If you’re afraid, I’ll leave at once, and it will be known that you, True Ancestor Xuanling, feared me and admitted guilt!” Ye Tian taunted boldly.

At the same time, True Ancestors from numerous factions arrived to witness this duel, some from even the Upper Three Heavens.

Inside the Glazed Glass Sect.

True Ancestor Xuanling and his followers were furious, yearning to obliterate Ye Tian on the spot.

“True Ancestor Xuanling, the True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws is here. Why don’t we just kill him?” proposed True Ancestor Fire Cloud from the Dark God Palace.

At present, the Dark God Palace and Glazed Glass Sect’s True Ancestors were nearly all assembled. With just one order from True Ancestor Xuanling, they could erase Ye Tian and his companions.

“We can’t attack now. Otherwise, the Glazed Glass Sect’s reputation would be ruined, and who knows if some other faction might exploit the situation to target us? Besides, the challenge was issued according to Domain Realm protocols. If we refused and attacked en masse, it would be disgraceful,” True Ancestor Xuanling said with a frown.

“What should we do then?” True Ancestor Fire Cloud asked.

“Fight!” True Ancestor Xuanling replied. “The Void Sky True Nation is likely at the end of its rope, left with no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Maybe this True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws truly intends to kill me, or perhaps he’s merely stalling for time to allow the Void Sky True Nation to retreat.

But regardless of their plan, it’s all in vain.

I am no ordinary Pinnacle True Ancestor. Among Pinnacle True Ancestors, my strength is hardly weak. This mere True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws—I can kill him effortlessly!”

Then, True Ancestor Xuanling accepted Ye Tian’s challenge with a single reply—”Bring it!”
