Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 1153: Palace Master Zhenwu Takes Action!
TL: Etude
After a long while.
Palace Master Azure Dragon said, “Palace Master Zhenwu, if you make a move and end up killing multiple Invincible Dao Ancestors, a Half-Step Domain Ancestor hidden in the shadows might also take action. At that point, it will be difficult to keep your identity hidden!”
“You mean the Half-Step Domain Ancestors of Blackwind Mountain?” Palace Master Zhenwu frowned.
“No, I’m not just referring to Blackwind Mountain!” Palace Master Azure Dragon continued, “I suspect that each of the three Ninth Heaven forces has a Half-Step Domain Ancestor. There are some individuals who have not shown themselves in countless ages. Domain Ancestor Vast Sea once said that the three Ninth Heaven forces always have hidden strength. Even as the Realm Master, Domain Ancestor Vast Sea finds it inconvenient to investigate the internal situation of the Ninth Heaven forces.
In truth, I also didn’t want the Heavenly Emperor Palace’s plans to be exposed because I’m worried that the three Ninth Heaven forces may each have a Half-Step Domain Ancestor. If Blackwind Mountain has two more Half-Step Domain Ancestors, that would make five Half-Step Domain Ancestors in total. Meanwhile, our Heavenly Emperor Palace only has three!”
“That’s true; Father did indeed say that!” added Palace Master White Tiger.
This rumor was something that Palace Master Zhenwu had also heard of, though he didn’t fully believe it.
He could believe that Blackwind Mountain had a Half-Step Domain Ancestor. But as for the three Ninth Heaven forces also possessing Half-Step Domain Ancestors? Did they really think Half-Step Domain Ancestors were so easily born? Of course, the possibility wasn’t zero.
“If they truly do have Half-Step Domain Ancestors, then my action this time can serve to draw them out. Otherwise, the hidden strength of the Ninth Heaven forces will remain a threat!” said Palace Master Zhenwu.
“That works. Palace Master Zhenwu, then we’ll trouble you to take action!” Palace Masters Azure Dragon and White Tiger said in unison.
Outside the space where the Haotian Imperial Mirror lay, in the Fireflame Forbidden Zone.
Ten Invincible Dao Ancestors were engaged in a fierce battle.
Among them, three were rogue cultivator Invincible Dao Ancestors, two were from the Heavenly Sea Sect, two from the Limitless Sky Sect, two from the Myriad Domains Divine Hall, and one from Blackwind Mountain.
The three rogue Invincible Dao Ancestors had temporarily allied with each other. After all, they had no backing and were essentially loners, so it made sense for them to cooperate. However, the fact that Blackwind Mountain had sent only one Invincible Dao Ancestor this time struck the Invincible Dao Ancestors of the three Ninth Heaven forces as peculiar.
They didn’t believe for a moment that Blackwind Mountain only had one Invincible Dao Ancestor. After all, in Blackwind Mountain’s long history, there were many figures as famous as Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire, such as the Ten Kings. Surely, there must be more Invincible Dao Ancestors among them.
Yet, Blackwind Mountain’s other Invincible Dao Ancestors hadn’t appeared. For the others, this was a good thing.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The ten Invincible Dao Ancestors clashed repeatedly, their attacks shattering the magma-filled region around them and throwing the rules of the space into chaos.
However, no matter how fiercely they fought, they couldn’t shake the structure of this large Forbidden Treasure Land, let alone destroy it. After all, the Invincible Dao Ancestors could not currently unleash their full strength.
As the battle continued, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire was significantly injured. After all, he was fighting alone, and many Invincible Dao Ancestors were inclined to target him.
No matter how strong one person was, how could they hope to contend against so many Invincible Dao Ancestors?
“Everyone, if we keep fighting like this, it’s pointless. Besides, whether or not that ancient mirror, the Forbidden Supreme Treasure, can manifest the path to becoming a Domain Ancestor is still unknown. Are we really going to slaughter each other over something so uncertain?” Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire tried to reason.
“Shut up, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire! Don’t think for a second that saying this will make us spare you! If you have the guts, call out the other Invincible Dao Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain. Otherwise, today, you’ll die!” roared Dao Ancestor Wushuang of the Limitless Sky Sect.
Dao Ancestor Wushuang had long despised Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire. From the very start, Flowing Fire had prevented him from killing the Fire King. If it hadn’t been for Flowing Fire’s interference, Wushuang would have already killed the Fire King and taken that Forbidden Supreme Treasure! Thus, he was intent on killing Flowing Fire today.
Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire sighed softly, choosing not to respond to Dao Ancestor Wushuang.
It was impossible to summon other Invincible Dao Ancestors from Blackwind Mountain. This time, Blackwind Mountain had long decided to send only one Invincible Dao Ancestor, unwilling to risk deploying too many.
They vaguely suspected that this was a massive conspiracy orchestrated by the Heavenly Emperor Palace. Blackwind Mountain was also aware that the Heavenly Emperor Palace was inciting all major forces to engage in slaughter, using the countless deaths of True Ancestors and Dao Ancestors to push the Profound Void Ancient Realm toward evolution into a Forbidden Realm.
Thus, Blackwind Mountain dared not expose their full strength, nor send out multiple Invincible Dao Ancestors at once. If they fell into such a trap, Blackwind Mountain would suffer catastrophic losses.
As time passed, Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire’s disadvantage worsened, and his injuries grew increasingly severe.
Suddenly.
A figure appeared not far away.
The person was masked and clad in a set of Forbidden Armor that completely encased their body. Only an intense aura of Forbidden Rules could be sensed from them—no other traces of their identity.
This set of Forbidden Armor was a type of Forbidden Weapon, and a particularly rare full-body defensive weapon. Even the mask was a Forbidden Weapon, capable of concealing all aura.
When this individual appeared, all the Invincible Dao Ancestors froze, their expressions dramatically changing.
“Half-Step Domain Ancestor!”
The ten Invincible Dao Ancestors instinctively retreated.
What defined a Half-Step Domain Ancestor? The first requirement was that their Forbidden Body had to be refined to the major accomplishment realm. Additionally, half of their Dao Force had to be transformed into Forbidden Power—this was true transformation into Forbidden Power, not merely containing Forbidden Attributes, which were fundamentally different concepts.
This mysterious person’s Forbidden Body had already reached the major accomplishment realm, estimated to be 80% refined—far beyond the ordinary major accomplishment level.
Moreover, their arsenal of Forbidden Weapons was incredibly precious, further amplifying their combat power.
Their judgment of this figure as a Half-Step Domain Ancestor was confirmed by the faint Domain Ancestor aura emanating from them—a signature marker of such individuals.
“Who are you?” Dao Ancestor Wushuang of the Limitless Sky Sect cautiously asked.
However, the individual gave no answer and instead struck directly. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Fast! Too fast!
In an instant, the figure’s hand transformed into a Forbidden Hand, tearing through everything in its path.
Splurt! Dao Ancestor Wushuang’s arm was obliterated, and his entire body was sent flying.
“Run! He’s a Half-Step Domain Ancestor! With just a trace of Domain Ancestor aura, he can exert power equivalent to a Sixth Heaven Dao Ancestor here in the Profound Void Ancient Realm!” Dao Ancestor Wushuang shouted, warning the other Invincible Dao Ancestor from the Limitless Sky Sect.
“You think you can escape?” Palace Master Zhenwu sneered coldly.
At once, he activated his Forbidden Domain, enveloping the entire area.
Palace Master Zhenwu’s Forbidden Body had been refined to the major accomplishment realm. The strength of his Forbidden Domain was overwhelming, its binding force so potent that even Invincible Dao Ancestors struggled to break free.
Instead of targeting the Invincible Dao Ancestors from the three Ninth Heaven forces or Dao Ancestor Flowing Fire from Blackwind Mountain, Palace Master Zhenwu set his sights on the three rogue cultivator Invincible Dao Ancestors. This was the most advantageous strategy.
If he killed one of the Invincible Dao Ancestors from the Ninth Heaven forces, a Half-Step Domain Ancestor might descend immediately. But killing rogue cultivator Invincible Dao Ancestors was different; he could eliminate all three without triggering the arrival of a Half-Step Domain Ancestor.
Palace Master Zhenwu had no intention of killing just one target before being interrupted—it would be an immensely unsatisfying experience.
He locked onto one of the rogue Invincible Dao Ancestors—Dao Ancestor Clear River.
