Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 995: Ruins of the Sky-Splitting Sect!

TL: Etude

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

On this day.

Ye Tian had just finished scavenging a ruin when he received a transmission from a True Monarch of the Void Sky Hall. The message was about the whereabouts of one of the Dao Ancestor incarnations.

“Dao Ancestor Earth Gate… this is great news!” Ye Tian was overjoyed.

Among the four Dao Ancestor incarnations, the one Ye Tian most wanted to kill was Dao Ancestor Earth Gate. First, because Dao Ancestor Earth Gate had a hostile relationship with the Void Sky lineage, making them enemies. Second, Dao Ancestor Earth Gate had been the first to pursue and hunt him down.

According to the transmission from the True Monarch of the Void Sky Hall, Dao Ancestor Earth Gate was located in the ruins of a certain faction.

Since the True Monarch didn’t dare approach too closely, he couldn’t confirm the exact situation of the ruins nor how many other Dao Ancestor incarnations might be present. As soon as the True Monarch sensed Dao Ancestor Earth Gate’s presence, he quickly retreated, fearing that the Dao Ancestor might kill him on the spot.

Fortunately, the True Monarch had recorded the location of the ruins and transmitted it to Ye Tian.

With the provided coordinates, Ye Tian could head directly to the faction’s ruins.

Typically, such faction ruins were difficult to breach and required a long time to explore. Moreover, extracting the benefits from these ruins also demanded time.

Previously, the four Dao Ancestor incarnations had concluded their exploration of the Crimson Dragon Dao Field so quickly only because the Dao Field had already been destroyed. Otherwise, the incarnations would have likely stayed there for much longer.

“Let’s head straight to the ruins of that faction. Hopefully, I can slay Dao Ancestor Earth Gate incarnation and reap a bountiful reward in the process!” Ye Tian eagerly anticipated.

The battlefield ruins in question were the Sky-Splitting Sect Ruins.

This sect belonged to the Lower Three Heaven, but it was no weakling—its strength nearly rivaled that of a Middle Three Heaven faction. As a top-tier Lower Three Heaven faction, it was only a step away from becoming a Middle Three Heaven force.

Normally, a faction with one ordinary Dao Ancestor and over a hundred True Ancestors would qualify as a Lower Three Heaven force.

In the chaos, many Dao Ancestor-led forces counted as top-tier, qualifying them as Lower Three Heaven factions.

However, the Sky-Splitting Sect was different. It possessed not just one Dao Ancestor, but multiple Dao Ancestors, and its number of True Ancestors far exceeded the usual hundred.

Nowadays, most people had a general understanding of the power structures in the Domain Realm, and many were aware of the Sky-Splitting Sect’s reputation. Thus, when its ruins were exposed, some Dao Ancestor incarnations descended upon the site.

Even so, the battlefield ruins were vast, and opportunities abounded. Therefore, only a handful of Dao Ancestor incarnations appeared, one of whom was Dao Ancestor Earth Gate.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Earth Gate stood before a great formation, studying it closely.

Within this formation lay a stele, but it was no ordinary stele—it was a Enlightenment Stele.

Enlightenment Steles were exceedingly rare in the chaos. This particular stele was no ordinary one either—it was a top-tier Enlightenment Stele, capable of enhancing even a Dao Ancestor’s understanding.

Most Enlightenment Steles in the chaos were only useful for True Ancestors. Those suitable for Dao Ancestors were extremely rare. To find one with effects that could benefit a Dao Ancestor was almost unheard of.

Such a top-tier Enlightenment Stele was undoubtedly of immense value to any faction, even surpassing many Dao Artifacts in worth.

The Sky-Splitting Sect ruins were filled with opportunities. Since the site hadn’t sustained heavy damage, numerous Dao Ancestor incarnations had descended upon it, tirelessly dismantling formations and plundering the opportunities within. Even some True Monarchs had shown up, though they only dared to linger on the outskirts, gathering minor fortunes from the periphery.

The truly valuable opportunities, however, were left for the Dao Ancestor incarnations to claim. Dao Ancestor Earth Gate chose the Enlightenment Stele as his prize, and none of the other Dao Ancestors contested him for it, as there were other opportunities in the ruins that were just as valuable, if not more.

“It’s almost done. I’ve already deciphered 60% of the formation. A few more years, and I’ll fully unlock it and take this top-tier Enlightenment Stele!” Dao Ancestor Earth Gate spoke excitedly.

However, what he didn’t realize was that Ye Tian had already locked onto him.

Of course, even if the Dao Ancestor knew, he likely wouldn’t care. In his mind, Ye Tian posed no real threat to his incarnation and wasn’t worth considering.

…

“I’ve arrived!”

Ye Tian traversed across several small domains, using the Great World Shift technique to complete his journey swiftly. Without it, it would have taken him several days to fly to the Sky-Splitting Sect ruins at his current speed within the battlefield ruins.

The battlefield ruins exerted intense suppression, slowing down movement significantly. Even True Monarchs were limited in speed and couldn’t tear through space at will, as they could in the quasi-Dao realms.

“These Sky-Splitting Sect ruins are enormous!”

Ye Tian marveled at the endless expanse before him.

Originally, the Sky-Splitting Sect should have been protected and concealed by a mountain-guarding formation. But it seemed the combined efforts of multiple Dao Ancestor incarnations had broken through the formation, exposing the entire sect to the outside world. Numerous towering buildings now stood upon vast lands, while the sect’s core structures were located atop majestic divine mountains, each exuding grandeur and awe.

As a Provisional Peak Lord of Blackwind Mountain, Ye Tian had access to the archival space, where he had read about the Sky-Splitting Sect.

According to his knowledge, the Sky-Splitting Sect was one of the righteous factions, boasting immense power. It had once relied on a major Upper Three Heaven faction, giving it deep connections and formidable backing.

At its peak, the Sky-Splitting Sect possessed over a dozen Dao Ancestors, nearly qualifying as a Middle Three Heaven faction.

As for the exact qualifications required to become a Middle Three Heaven faction, Ye Tian wasn’t entirely clear. However, he was certain that it had something to do with peak combat strength. Having many ordinary Dao Ancestors alone wouldn’t be enough to ascend to the status of a Middle Three Heaven faction.

This made the Sky-Splitting Sect even more powerful than the Void Sky lineage, and the sheer number of opportunities it must have possessed was unimaginable.

Unfortunately, despite its former strength, the mighty sect had fallen, leaving behind only ruins.

“I wonder if anyone from the Sky-Splitting Sect survived. Even if they did, they must have paid a heavy price and would likely still be in slumber… Just like Blackwind Mountain hasn’t revealed itself yet.”

This was what Ye Tian pondered as he flew deeper into the ruins.

Whoosh!

Ye Tian entered the Sky-Splitting Sect ruins, carefully searching for Dao Ancestor Earth Gate’s traces.

He knew that Dao Ancestor Earth Gate wasn’t the only incarnation within these ruins. Therefore, Ye Tian didn’t dare to use his spiritual sense to scan the entire area recklessly. If he provoked the other Dao Ancestor incarnations, he could end up being hunted by several of them at once.

Thus, Ye Tian employed his Eye Technique to observe the ruins section by section, searching for Dao Ancestor Earth Gate’s incarnation.

This method required some time. However, since Ye Tian wasn’t distracted by hunting for opportunities or dismantling formations, his search progressed swiftly.

Before long, he made a discovery.

“Finally! I’ve found Dao Ancestor Earth Gate’s incarnation!”
