Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Deep within a magnificent temple, a phantom soul suddenly appeared atop a cyan treasure lotus. This soul was none other than the First Divine Lord of the Immortal Race.

The First Divine Lord opened his eyes, and deep within them lay sheer terror. “What a terrifying Master of the Primordial Era! He killed me in an instant with just one move. If it weren’t for the soul treasure lotus storing my soul and being able to reshape it back into my body in an instant, I would truly be dead!”

With a swish, the First Divine Lord stepped out of the soul treasure lotus, his body slowly regenerating.

In no time, the First Divine Lord had a complete physical body again.

However, he was now extremely weak and would need a long time to recover.

“Send the order: the Immortal Race is to enter a state of alert and be ready for battle at any moment. Also, notify all the other Supremes of the Immortal Race to gather here immediately!” the First Divine Lord commanded.

At the same time, the First Demon Lord of the Demon Race also appeared as a soul deep within the Demon Race’s headquarters. After recovering his body, he convened a meeting, and the Demon Race also entered a state of war readiness.

This incident had truly shocked all the races.

In the Human Race’s Holy City.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ye Tian quickly received news about the fall of over a hundred Supremes. Due to the immense impact of this event, even the intelligence network of Tian Pavilion had learned of it.

Additionally, Ye Tian heard about the severe injury of Kunwu Supreme, one of the Human Race’s Supremes.

The only fortunate thing was that no Supremes of the Human Race had fallen.

Immediately, Ye Tian went to Kunwu Pavilion to visit Kunwu Supreme, but Kunwu Supreme did not see him right away as he was in the middle of healing.

Three years later, one of Kunwu Supreme’s avatars met with Ye Tian.

“Kunwu Supreme, how are you?” Ye Tian asked.

Kunwu Supreme sighed, “I won’t die, but this injury won’t heal in a few thousand years.”

“Kunwu Supreme, what exactly happened?” Ye Tian asked in confusion.

Kunwu Supreme revealed his fear, “Honestly, I don’t really know what happened. The Supremes of the Immortal and Demon Races discovered that the Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras were gathering in the Primordial Hall, seemingly for some major event, and informed the Supremes of all races to come. However, we were stopped by the outer divine formation.

Shortly after, an aura similar to a chaos supreme treasure emanated, shaking the universe. Then, the Master of the Primordial Era and the other Supremes came out. The Master of the Primordial Era alone instantly killed over a hundred Supremes, including the First Divine Lord and the First Demon Lord.

But I heard that the First Divine Lord and the First Demon Lord reappeared in the Immortal and Demon Races, seemingly surviving through some special secret technique. However, the fall of those over a hundred Supremes and the severe injuries of several hundred more. I was lucky to be a bit further away; otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived either.”

“What? How could this happen?” Ye Tian was shocked.

Kunwu Supreme said, “I speculate that those Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras have likely shed the universe’s suppression and can now wield immense power. The Master of the Primordial Era, who became supreme as a Child of the Era, is far stronger than us.”

“So, doesn’t this mean that the Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras could sweep through the Supremes of all races, putting all races in danger?” Ye Tian asked.

“They probably won’t!” Kunwu Supreme said. “At that time, after the Master of the Primordial Era killed over a hundred Supremes, he didn’t make any further moves, nor did the other Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras.”

It was evident they wouldn’t kill us all; otherwise, most of our Supremes wouldn’t have returned. Additionally, they likely wouldn’t attack the myriad races, as the agreement signed back then hadn’t expired. For the next ninety thousand years, they probably wouldn’t make a move. But after ninety thousand years, who could say for sure!”

“Ninety thousand years, huh?” Ye Tian murmured.

“Ye Tian, grow quickly. The current situation of the universe is ever-changing. We still don’t know what the Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras are planning. Only if you grow rapidly will there be hope to counter those Supremes,” Kunwu Supreme advised.

“Kunwu Supreme, I will do my best!” Ye Tian nodded.

“Ye Tian, I need to return and stabilize my injuries. I won’t be coming out for the next few thousand years. If you need anything, seek help from the other Supremes. During this period, they will all fully support you!” Kunwu Supreme said, then retracted his avatar.

Ye Tian also left the Supreme Hall of Humanity.

Upon returning to Tian Pavilion in the Holy City, Ye Tian began to ponder.

His current growth rate was already very fast, but aiming to become a supreme within ninety thousand years seemed challenging. It wasn’t an issue of cultivation talent or resources but a matter of accumulation. He needed to accumulate to the extreme in each realm; otherwise, it would affect his breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm. But doing so would slow down his cultivation process.

If he didn’t prioritize accumulation and potential, he could absolutely rush to the supreme realm in a short time, but that would make him the weakest supreme. Moreover, he might even die under the tribulation.

“I need trump cards, and I need to grow faster!” Ye Tian pondered and soon thought of a solution.

“True Talent!”

This talent came from Primordial Supreme, and it was the secret behind Primordial Supreme becoming one of the most unique Heavenly Venerables with the strongest survival abilities. Many Supremes in the universe knew Primordial Supreme had many avatars, and even if one died, he could create another. No one knew which was his true body.

Ye Tian had used his Copy Talent to examine Primordial Supreme’s talent and had fused it into himself but had never used this talent.

The True Talent was different from ordinary avatar talents. Ordinary avatar talents allowed one to split off an avatar with similar cultivation, but they couldn’t last long. True Talent, however, could create a second and third true body, each capable of unique cultivation. This was what Ye Tian understood from the True Talent.

Creating a second true body wasn’t easy; it required a supreme treasure as a foundation.

Moreover, all true bodies shared one consciousness, meaning it wasn’t practical for multiple true bodies to fight simultaneously. In a full-force battle, only one true body could be used, while the others would be empty shells.

In real combat, splitting one’s focus to control multiple true bodies, each performing different secret techniques and talents, was too difficult and could weaken one’s combat strength.

In simple terms, True Talent was akin to creating several backup puppets. Unlike ordinary puppets, these could integrate with the main body’s consciousness, cultivate, and fight.

This explained why Primordial Supreme’s battles always featured only one true body and never multiple true bodies attacking an enemy simultaneously. This was a limitation of True Talent.

Now, Ye Tian planned to create a second true body and quickly elevate it to the supreme realm. A mere ordinary supreme wouldn’t be much help, but it could enter the Desolate Realm and use the Desolate Lord Mandate to control it.

The Desolate Realm was not a weak force and could serve as Ye Tian’s trump card. Moreover, he could use the Desolate Realm’s origin power to rapidly enhance his cultivation.

This would be a win-win situation!
