Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

In the Holy City, at the Tian Pavilion, Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes while in seclusion.

“Someone on Earth has triggered my formation!” Ye Tian remarked coldly.

Ye Tian highly valued Earth, as it was his homeland. He considered its importance to be greater than that of an entire star field. He would not allow anything to happen to Earth.

For this reason, he had set up numerous safeguards on Earth, such as prohibiting experts above the True God level from remaining on or entering Earth. Recently, he had returned to Earth to personally arrange a formation infused with powerful rules. Even a Dominator-level expert would be detected by this formation, and weaker Dominators would not be able to enter Earth at all.

But now, someone had triggered the formation and entered Earth.

“A very powerful Dominator!” Ye Tian murmured.

Among the human race, the powerful Dominators knew that Earth was his homeland. Without his permission, they would not rashly enter Earth. But now, someone had entered.

“An alien Dominator?” Ye Tian speculated.

“Hmph, even if it’s a Dominator, or even a Heavenly Venerable, if they dare to harm Earth, they must die!”

With a flash, Ye Tian left seclusion and rushed towards Earth in the Pan Star Field with incredible speed. In no time at all, he returned to Earth.

Boom!!!! Ye Tian’s copy talent enveloped the entire Earth, and he also activated his Life Heavenly Eye ability.

Instantly, Ye Tian sensed a special presence on Earth.

“A sixth-tier life form!” Ye Tian’s pupils contracted.

He wasn’t afraid of a sixth-tier life form; he was shocked that one would appear here. In the Origin Realm, there were many sixth-tier life forms due to its unique nature. However, in the main universe, sixth-tier life forms were extremely rare. Most Supremes were merely pseudo-fifth-tier life forms! Moreover, this sixth-tier life form was merely a Dominator! A Dominator reaching the sixth-tier life form level was no less formidable than he had been before entering the Origin Realm! Additionally, the aura of this Dominator was incredibly strong, much stronger than the Child of the Aurora Era from the Twelve Cosmic Eras.

“This Dominator is very unfamiliar, and doesn’t seem to be one of the Children of the Eras from the Twelve Cosmic Eras. But among the myriad races’ Dominators, there’s absolutely no one this extraordinary!” Ye Tian did not know the identity of this Dominator, but he felt a heavy sense of gravity in his heart.

If someone as powerful as them started fighting, Earth would be obliterated in an instant.

“I hope this person is just passing through!” Ye Tian hoped.

On Earth, Hamon saw Ye Tian and immediately frowned.

“So fast,” he muttered in surprise, thinking Ye Tian would arrive later, not expecting him so soon.

“But it’s just a minor deviation from my plan. It won’t affect it!” Hamon sneered.

At this moment, Ye Tian transmitted his voice, “Why have you trespassed on my Earth? Please explain, or I will consider this a provocation!”

“A mere Dominator dares to be arrogant before me!” Hamon replied coldly, reaching out with five fingers to grasp Ye Tian, as if to suppress a part of the void.

Terrifying rules rippled out, enough to make any Dominator despair.

However, as Hamon made his move, Ye Tian also acted instantly. Since Hamon dared to attack, he was an enemy, and Ye Tian would not sit idly by.

To avoid affecting Earth, Ye Tian directly used a great divine ability—Wheel of Time! He rarely used the Wheel of Time, as the enemies he encountered were often weaker, and against overly strong enemies, it had limited use.

Only against evenly matched enemies did he use the Wheel of Time.

At this moment, Ye Tian used the Wheel of Time, dragging Hamon into the cycle of time.

To prevent Hamon from breaking the cycle of time, Ye Tian entered the time loop himself, fighting Hamon from within the dimension of time.

Within the time dimension, Hamon appeared and sneered, “A great divine ability, but unfortunately, this won’t trap me!”

Just as he prepared to break out, Ye Tian appeared.

Seeing Ye Tian, Hamon decided not to break the dimension. He didn’t want to destroy Earth, fearing it might trigger changes in the secret realm, revealing it. So, capturing Ye Tian here was preferable.

“You must be Ye Tian. Rumor has it you’re the top genius of this universe. Let’s see if you can entertain me!” Hamon laughed.

“This person knows me, yet he shows no fear,” Ye Tian thought deeply.

It was clear Hamon was not a weakling; even trapped in the time loop, he was unafraid.

A formidable enemy indeed! Immediately, Ye Tian used the Spear of Hellish Void, thrusting it toward Hamon.

This was a test!

Thud! The Spear of Hellish Void shot forward, and Hamon merely punched out.

Crack! The Spear of Hellish Void shattered, dissolving into spatial rules.

However, Hamon didn’t have it easy; his fist trembled slightly.

“How can he be this strong?!”

Hamon was shocked internally but maintained his calm exterior. Instantly, his eyes flashed as he employed some sort of ocular secret technique.

“What? A seventh-tier life form?!”

Hamon was taken aback. If he had been at his peak, a seventh-tier life form wouldn’t have mattered much since he himself was a pinnacle seventh-tier life form. But in this universe, without ample resources, and with his reincarnated body being quite ordinary, he had exhausted many resources to cultivate to the late sixth-tier life form level. Reaching the seventh-tier life form level was extremely difficult.

What he didn’t expect was that Ye Tian was actually a seventh-tier life form!

“However, Ye Tian’s cultivation time is short, so he might not be strong in other aspects. I’m currently at the peak of the Dominator level, but I can exert the combat power of a first-tier Heavenly Venerable. My survival abilities even surpass those of a fifth-tier Heavenly Venerable, so there’s nothing to worry about!” Hamon thought to himself.

On the other side, Ye Tian, seeing that the Spear of Hellish Void couldn’t break Hamon’s defense, made a rough estimate. Hamon was indeed powerful, but not overwhelmingly so; otherwise, his fist wouldn’t have trembled.

“Finish this quickly!” Ye Tian decided.

Boom!!! The Chaos Origin Divine Well enveloped his body, the fifth form of the Tiangang Battle Technique activated, and various talents were unleashed one by one.

“Primeval Slash!”

Ye Tian directly used his strongest move. He didn’t want any unexpected events. The power of Primeval Slash was enough to rival a full-strength strike from a fourth-tier Supreme. Although he could only use it once, he didn’t believe Hamon could withstand the Primeval Slash!

Boom!!! The blade light of Primeval Slash condensed into a point, tearing through the time dimension and slashing towards Hamon. This strike even froze time and space; unless one had heaven-defying escape techniques, there was no way to avoid this attack.

Always composed, Hamon finally panicked at this moment.

“This strike… how is this possible? He’s just a Dominator!”

Hamon’s pupils contracted sharply, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. He had always looked down on the so-called geniuses of this universe. Even though Ye Tian was known as the top genius, he hadn’t paid much attention, thinking it would be easy to capture Ye Tian.

But now, he realized he was wrong, incredibly wrong! A Dominator-level cultivator being able to unleash an attack comparable to a fourth-tier Supreme’s full-strength strike was extraordinarily heaven-defying. Even in chaos, such geniuses were extremely rare! How could a universe lacking powerful legacies produce such a heaven-defying genius? If such a genius entered chaos, wouldn’t they become even more terrifying?

“Primeval One Qi Talisman!” “Divine Light Shield!” “Ten Light Shield!” “Immortal Body!”

One defensive technique after another was instantly deployed by Hamon, but they all shattered under the Primeval Slash. Ultimately, the blade light pierced through Hamon’s body, severely wounding him.

However, a flash of light on Hamon’s body stabilized his injuries.

“Escape!” Hamon summoned a new talisman imbued with the power of time.

“Time Blade Talisman, break!”

Time rules transformed into a sharp blade, instantly breaking through this time dimension and the Wheel of Time.

In the next moment, Hamon fled!

“I can’t believe I didn’t kill him!” Ye Tian was a bit surprised. That strike was comparable to a fourth-tier Supreme’s full-strength attack, capable of killing even a Heavenly Venerable, yet Hamon, a mere Dominator, survived.

“This person has a significant background; he can’t be allowed to live!” Ye Tian resolved.

Hamon’s escape technique was extremely fast, almost on par with a Supreme, but Ye Tian had the Life Heavenly Eye, which allowed him to sense life auras over a large area. Once he locked onto Hamon, it would be hard for Hamon to escape.

“Chase!” Ye Tian immediately pursued.

As they fled and chased, they quickly left the Pan Star Field.

“Damn, I can’t shake him off. This guy is a seventh-tier life form with the Life Heavenly Eye. If I had reached the Heavenly Venerable level, I could block the Life Heavenly Eye’s ability. Perhaps if I had my treasures from chaos, I could block it, but now I can’t block this ability! Moreover, this guy has a Super God-level time and space talent. Damn, such talents are rare even in chaos. How did such a heaven-defying being emerge from a small universe?”

Hamon was extremely panicked! He was confident in escaping from a fourth-tier Supreme but had no confidence in escaping from Ye Tian.

Soon, Ye Tian caught up with Hamon, launching repeated attacks and battles.

Hamon tried to use talismans to kill Ye Tian, but Ye Tian’s Chaos Origin Divine Well defense was too formidable to break through.

“Ye Tian even has a Chaos Divine Ability prototype formed from the fragments of the Origin Well! Luckily, he hasn’t fully cultivated this Chaos Divine Ability; otherwise, just his defense would make him invincible at the Supreme level in this universe!” Hamon’s pupils contracted in jealousy.

Even in chaos, he hadn’t encountered such great fortune, yet Ye Tian, in a resource-scarce universe, had such significant opportunities.

With each encounter, Hamon’s injuries worsened.

“Ye Tian, let’s stop. We have no deep enmity. I’m willing to pay a certain price to spare my life. What do you say?” Hamon lowered his head and began to beg for mercy.
