Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1099: Breaking the Strongest Defense Record!

TL: Etude

As Ye Tian rapidly advanced, the True Ancestors of Blackwind Mountain progressed quickly as well.

Besides occasionally entering the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool for cultivation, Ye Tian also used his position as a General to secure a few slots in the pool for his Nine Limits Legion, allowing them occasional access for cultivation.

Of course, Ye Tian personally covered all the expenses.

After all, his Nine Limits Legion always cultivated in the Nine Limits Space, and the True Ancestors there were terribly poor, having no means to afford cultivation in the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool! Ye Tian’s expectation for his legion was simple: to quickly cultivate a few top-tier True Ancestors. Without such powerhouses, it would be hard to even take on assignments.

One day.

Ye Tian meditated on the Great Desolate Dao Body. This mid-tier Dao technique had long been cultivated to the peak of minor accomplishment realm, though he had rarely focused on it in recent years.

Now, however, he felt he was on the brink of breaking through to the major accomplishment realm in this mid-tier Dao technique.

A mid-tier Dao technique at the major accomplishment level wielded incredible power.

Moreover, his Great Desolate Dao Body not only offered defensive abilities but also an enhancement effect. Once it reached the major accomplishment level, it might even set a new record in the ancient realm.

Yes, it would be the strongest defense record! Ye Tian hadn’t yet broken this record, which had been set by a True Ancestor who was also an Invincible True Ancestor. That person had likely cultivated a mid-tier defensive Dao technique to the major accomplishment level, though their foundation wasn’t as deep as his.

Therefore, once Ye Tian elevated his Great Desolate Dao Body to the major accomplishment level, he would inevitably break that record.

Years passed.

Ye Tian abandoned all other cultivation efforts, focusing entirely on achieving the major accomplishment realm in his Great Desolate Dao Body.

Finally, one day, he broke through.

Upon Ye Tian’s breakthrough, the strongest defense record on the Profound Void Ranking was shattered.

At that moment, countless factions were stunned by this record-breaking feat.

Previously, Ye Tian had set four Ancient Realm Records, proving his potential and talent. Yet these achievements didn’t qualify him as the strongest in the Profound Void Ancient Realm.

However, having the strongest defense was a clear testament to his power. Even formidable figures like General Bloodfiend and General Skyreaver hadn’t managed to hold such a record, and Ye Tian had shattered it while it was already established.

This alone testified to the terrifying level of Ye Tian’s defenses.

And with such formidable defense, his combat power would naturally be extraordinary.

…

Vajra City.

This was an Eighth Heaven faction with its headquarters in a city fortress. It had once held numerous cities within the Domain Realm, boasting significant influence.

Vajra City’s strength was formidable, on par with that of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and many factions avoided offending it because of the terrifying defense and survival skills of Vajra City’s disciples.

In one of its most famous battles, ten Pinnacle True Ancestors encircled a Pinnacle True Ancestor from Vajra City in a forbidden land, besieging him for tens of thousands of years without success.

Now, True Ancestor Unbreakable, known as the foremost True Ancestor of Vajra City, was furious.

He had set the previous strongest defense record. He’d once entered the Ancestral Talent Pool, obtaining a defensive Dao-level core talent, and had cultivated Vajra City’s famed mid-tier Dao technique, the Unbreakable Vajra. He had even pushed it to the peak of the major accomplishment level, just a step away from perfection.

But he never imagined that such a terrifying defense record would be broken!

“True Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws—who is this guy? I’ve never even heard of him!” True Ancestor Unbreakable felt incensed at having his record broken by a relatively unknown True Ancestor. If one of his rivals had broken the record, he wouldn’t have been as angry.

Soon enough, he learned more about Ye Tian’s background from other True Ancestors in Vajra City.

“So, he’s a native of the Profound Void Ancient Realm, and this is his fifth record!” True Ancestor Unbreakable was astonished.

Such talent was simply outrageous.

“Could it be that he cultivated a mid-tier defensive Dao technique to the perfected realm?” He pondered.

But that step was incredibly difficult! Even with a defensive Dao-level core talent, bringing a mid-tier Dao technique to the perfected realm was almost impossible.

True Ancestor Unbreakable had spent countless years cultivating Vajra Unbreakable, using various treasures to enhance it. Despite all those years, he still couldn’t break through the bottleneck.

At the True Ancestor level, reaching the perfected realm with a mid-tier Dao technique was nearly as difficult as entering the Supreme True Ancestor rank.

“What a pity he’s a General of Blackwind Mountain. Otherwise, we’d have loved to bring him into Vajra City!” True Ancestor Unbreakable sighed with regret.

…

“Indeed, I’ve broken the strongest defense record!” Ye Tian was thrilled.

Holding five Ancient Realm Records now had an astounding amplification effect. If he continued breaking records, even without the Nine Nether Forbidden Pool, his cultivation speed wouldn’t be much slower.

“If I could bring Tiangang Extreme Speed to the major accomplishment level, I might just break the speed record as well,” Ye Tian thought.

However, he had begun cultivating Tiangang Extreme Speed relatively late, and he’d just barely reached the minor accomplishment level. Achieving the major accomplishment level was still a distant goal.

“In fact, there is a way to speed up the cultivation of mid-tier Dao techniques to the major accomplishment level!”

Ye Tian murmured to himself.

The method was… to fuse more similar Dao-level core talents! His Copy Talent now allowed him to merge Dao-level core talents. For example, if he merged two defensive Dao-level core talents into one, it would undoubtedly enhance his talent and allow him to cultivate the Great Desolate Dao Body even faster.

Similarly, if he merged two speed-based Dao-level core talents, his cultivation of Tiangang Extreme Speed would be much quicker.

In the past, Ye Tian had limited access to Dao-level core talents, but now the Profound Void Ancient Realm had an abundance. For instance, Blackwind Mountain alone had several, which he had already replicated.

If he replicated the Dao-level core talents of all True Ancestors across the Profound Void Ancient Realm, he might collect over a hundred. The only problem now was… he didn’t know who possessed these Dao-level core talents. Investigating would be time-consuming.

If he entrusted someone else with this task, the choice of personnel would be crucial.

First, he wasn’t fully confident in the True Ancestors of the Void Heaven True Nation, as they could easily leak information.

“Ah, that’s it! The Nine Limits Legion hasn’t undertaken any assignments yet. I’ll assign this mission to them and have them conduct the investigation for me,” Ye Tian decided.

Thus, he descended into the Nine Limits Space and summoned the True Ancestors of the Nine Limits Legion.

“Greetings, General!”

“Greetings, General!”

“Greetings, General!”

The many True Ancestors saluted Ye Tian with disciplined military posture.

Ye Tian glanced at them and said, “You’ve been cultivating here for a long time. Today, I’m assigning you a mission. If you complete it well, I’ll reward you.”

At the mention of a mission, the True Ancestors of the Nine Limits Legion grew excited.

The Nine Limits Space, though vast, had become unbearably dull. They had longed to go out on a mission, but without Ye Tian’s permission, they dared not leave and had no means to do so.

“I want you to investigate which True Ancestors in the Profound Void Ancient Realm possess Dao-level core talents. You only need to tell me who they are and what faction they belong to. This mission shouldn’t be difficult, but make sure not to attract the attention of any faction,” Ye Tian instructed.

“Yes, General!” The True Ancestors responded in unison.

Immediately, Ye Tian led these True Ancestors out of the Nine Limits Space and sent them across various regions of the Profound Void Ancient Realm to investigate the matter of Dao-level core talents.

And so, Ye Tian patiently awaited their findings.

Time flew by, and decades passed.

Throughout this period, messages arrived one after another, each revealing the location of a Dao-level core talent.

Now, after many years, the flow of information had slowed considerably, suggesting that most Dao-level core talents had been located.

“A total of fifty Dao-level core talent bearers!” Ye Tian reviewed the information with satisfaction.

Now, he could begin copying the Dao-level core talents of these True Ancestors.
