Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 281: Negotiation Time!

TL: You Yang

PR: Etude

“Hmph, do you think your identity is enough to scare us? You have true gods on your side, but do you really think we don’t have any behind us?” Emperor Apos coldly stated.

In reality, they didn’t have any true gods backing them, but bluffing was still an option. After all, the Dragon Clan was unaware of their true strength.

It must be said that Emperor Apos’s bluff did cause Long Tianlin to hesitate for a moment, but that was all.

He believed that beings like true gods would not deign to participate in the struggles over a mere star. It would be beneath their dignity.

Long Tianlin, still with hands clasped behind his back, said, “I’m not trying to intimidate you with my background. I, too, would like to spar with one of your nine-star Emperor-level humans. Do any of you dare to withstand ten of my moves?”

“Ten moves?” Emperor Apos and the others were furious.

Everyone was at the nine-star Emperor level, but Long Tianlin’s arrogance was astonishing, thinking they couldn’t withstand ten of his moves?

“I, Emperor Apos, would like to spar with you and see your capabilities!” Emperor Apos stepped forward and declared.

At that moment, Long Tianlin extended a hand and gently reached towards Emperor Apos.

“This is my God-level claw technique—Golden Dragon Extreme Claw. I wonder if you can withstand it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden dragon claw emerged from the void, covering the entire starry sky, and grabbed towards Emperor Apos.

“A God-level claw technique!!!”

Emperor Apos was shocked.

To master a God-level claw technique, one needed a Moonlight-level claw technique talent and also comprehend the Claw Dao to at least 35%. Only then could one master a God-level claw technique.

For instance, Ye Tian, with a 20-fold increase in comprehension and a 10-fold acceleration of time, plus the enhancement from the Enlightenment Stele, had not yet reached the 35% realm in Claw Dao, and was still far from it.

Yet, Long Tianlin had managed to comprehend the Claw Dao beyond 35% and even mastered a God-level claw technique.

Such talent was astounding!

The key was, Long Tianlin’s strength talent was also of God level. A God-level strength talent combined with a God-level claw technique, such synergistic effects made Long Tianlin’s strength reach the pinnacle of the nine-star level, just one step away from the legendary Emperor realm.

The Emperor realm, for these external forces, was also a legend; their planets had never produced an Emperor.

Only in the central region of the Milky Way, in the thriving human domains, could Emperor-level and even higher, Sovereign-level powerhouses emerge.

Under the Golden Dragon Extreme Claw, Emperor Apos was struck and flew away, severely injured.

But after the strike, Long Tianlin did not attack further.

Seeing this, Emperor Apos quickly activated a healing talent to recover from his injuries.

“I concede!”

Emperor Apos admitted defeat.

If the nine-star Emperor level were divided into six tiers, with the first being the highest, he would be in the fifth tier, while Long Tianlin undoubtedly belonged to the first tier. The gap between them was immense.

Ye Tian watched Long Tianlin, genuinely astonished by his strength.

“This dragon’s power is formidable, possessing a God-level claw technique and divine strength talent. Setting aside my time and space talents, I would need to break through my physical limits for the fifteenth time to match him. Otherwise, without the time and space talents, I wouldn’t even be able to react to, let alone dodge, his attacks!” Ye Tian thought to himself.

At this moment, he truly witnessed the power at the nine-star limit!

“Long Tianlin’s strength far exceeds those human nine-star Emperors, but he did not dare to kill, probably fearing the hidden few!”

Ye Tian’s gaze discreetly shifted towards a certain part of the void.

He faintly sensed several presences, though they were not clear.

But he was certain that there were people there, who had just appeared.

Ye Tian did not use the Eye of Insight to penetrate that location. He had a feeling that if he used the Eye of Insight, while he could see those few individuals, they too would sense his presence.

Ye Tian’s guess was not wrong. The reason Long Tianlin did not make a move was indeed due to the fear of the several strong beings lurking in the shadows.

“Half-gods of humanity, huh? As expected, they have come!”

Long Tianlin thought to himself.

A true demigod was not like the previous Nine Lives Cat Emperor, but one who has successfully transformed their divine body or divine power, standing just one step away from becoming a God-level Emperor.

Such Emperors are referred to as demigods!

If they were ordinary demigods, Long Tianlin would not take them seriously. He could annihilate a group of ordinary demigods, even God-level beings, with just one swipe of his claw.

However, the demigods in the shadows were not ordinary. They were demigods transformed from eight or nine-star Emperors. Such demigods were extremely fearsome, with combat power comparable to Sovereign Emperors, but were not worthy of the title of Sovereign Emperor.

The title of Sovereign Emperor was not given lightly. It must be earned by reaching the power of an Sovereign Emperor without transforming the divine body, divine power, or divine soul.

And he was striving for this title!

Yet, not having truly reached the power of a Sovereign Emperor, he was no match for those demigods. However, he had life-saving methods and was not afraid.

If those demigods dared to make a move, he could always call upon the demigods of the Dragon race who were in seclusion.

In that case, a real battle would commence!

He believed humans would not dare to start a war, for they would surely suffer heavy losses.

Of course, he did not wish to start a war either!

“What do you want to do?”

The Myriad Fire Emperor among the nine-star Emperors spoke up.

Long Tianlin said solemnly, “Negotiate, how about that? Otherwise, if this ferocious beast army behind me charges in, how many Martial Warriors and Emperors will you lose?”

“Fine, let’s negotiate!”

The human nine-star Emperors agreed.

“Then let’s negotiate here!”

With a wave of Long Tianlin’s hand, a magnificent platform appeared in the sky.

On the platform was a round table surrounded by several seats.

Long Tianlin sat in one of them.

In the next moment, three beams of light appeared, condensing into three figures, unmistakably the projections of the three God-level Dragon race powerhouses.

The human nine-star Emperors naturally knew these were not the actual bodies of the three God-level Dragon race beings but mere spiritual projections with little power, a minor technique akin to projection technology in science.

The two sides sat down to begin negotiations.

As for the other human Emperors, they naturally stood at a distance, watching. They were not worthy of participating in such negotiations.

At the meeting.

The Myriad Fire Emperor spoke directly, “Speak, what will it take for your Dragon race to retreat? State your conditions!”

“No, we will not retreat!” Long Tianlin smiled, “If you insist on making our Dragon race retreat, then there’s no need for this negotiation.”

The Myriad Fire Emperor frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, “Then what do you want?”

Long Tianlin spoke candidly, “First, allow our Dragon race to enter Earth and occupy a territory. Second, tell us the real purpose of your forces coming to Earth. I’ve observed that Earth’s yuan qi revival is somewhat different from other planets’ yuan qi revival. Yuan Qi revivals are extremely rare, usually occurring on planets that have experienced a period of a strong cultivation civilization, leading to excessive absorption of yuan qi and the planet’s degeneration. Then, after countless years, the world’s power recovers, and yuan qi erupts, causing the revival. But Earth seems different. It definitely contains significant secrets. How about sharing these secrets with us?”

“What secrets? We’re just interested in Earth’s resources, so we’ve been trading resources with the Earth’s Emperors. You can investigate if you don’t believe me!” The Myriad Fire Emperor said with a laugh.

“Really? Just for trading resources, why send so many great Emperors, even nine-star Emperors and demigods? Nine-star Emperors are considered ordinary prodigies in the galaxy. Why would they stay on a star for so long? Just for trading resources? Heh, you can come up with such an excuse, do you think this dragon is a fool?” Long Tianlin asked coldly.

…

I think celestial bodies like planets are sometimes collectively referred to as stars.
