Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

No one knew that Dao Ancestor Void Sky had guided Ye Tian in breaking his limits and attempting to unify his essence, qi, and spirit.

Other Dao Ancestors were unaware, and Dao Ancestor Void Sky would never reveal it, nor would Ye Tian foolishly tell anyone.

The Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue and others only knew Ye Tian was cursed, but they didn't understand the specifics of the Evil Demon Seal Curse. Ye Tian certainly wouldn't go around foolishly admitting he was cursed and unable to ascend to the True Spirit Realm.

Therefore, the other Heavenly Monarchs merely thought Ye Tian had been struck by a rare curse, but nothing a Dao Ancestor couldn't handle, so they didn't think much of it.

However, with Zero's fall, the top powers across the Grand Universe were shocked beyond measure, and the Void Sky Hall instantly rose to become the number one force in the Grand Universe.

Ye Tian was also hailed as the number one Heavenly Monarch and the greatest expert in the Grand Universe. Even the other Half-Step True Spirit Realm experts acknowledged his strength.

Of course.

At that time, the highest level of fusion among Half-Step True Spirit Realm experts was only 50%. If someone managed to achieve 90% fusion between their True Spirit and body, their strength would far surpass that of someone at 50% fusion.

Additionally, the cosmic rules of the Grand Universe began to loosen, and the shackles preventing ascension to the True Spirit Realm gradually faded. Perhaps in tens of millions of years, the Grand Universe would give birth to a True Spirit Realm expert.

By then, if Ye Tian remained a Heavenly Monarch, it would be difficult for him to suppress other powerful figures.

Ye Tian didn't care about the outside world's discussions, nor did he pay attention to other events. Apart from instructing Heavenly Monarch Sundragon to collect resources, he focused entirely on seclusion and cultivation.

Breaking through his limits and achieving the unification of essence, qi, and spirit would certainly be a long journey. However, he first had to take the initial step—elevating his essence, qi, and spirit to their absolute limits.

Ye Tian's limit far surpassed others, meaning his consumption of resources was naturally immense.

Fortunately, Ye Tian had previously obtained Star Crystals equivalent to 310 million Void Sky Points. Over the past few million years, he had only consumed a few hundred million points, so he still had plenty left.

Thus, Ye Tian spared no expense, spending countless resources. Finally, after five million years, he brought his body, chaos divine force, and soul to their current limits, reaching the extreme level of essence, qi, and spirit.

At this point, his cultivation could advance no further. Aside from ascending to the Half-Step True Spirit Realm, there was no way to improve his cultivation.

Even though Ye Tian knew he was under the Evil Demon Seal Curse, he still wanted to attempt forming a True Spirit.

However, he quickly failed.

He couldn't form a True Spirit at all. The Evil Demon Seal Curse completely locked down his cultivation, preventing him from achieving even the Half-Step True Spirit Realm. Forcing the attempt would only result in severe backlash and injuries.

After trying several times without success, Ye Tian had no choice but to focus on the path of unifying essence, qi, and spirit.

"The second step is… to create three Origin Divine Abilities!" Ye Tian muttered to himself.

Creating Origin Divine Abilities was something only True Ancestors did. At his level as a Heavenly Monarch, attempting to create an Origin Divine Ability was a task a hundred, a thousand times harder. Fortunately, he possessed Origin Talents, and they were all Origin Talents. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have… the qualifications to attempt creating Origin Divine Abilities related to essence, qi, and spirit.

"Let's start by trying to create a body-based Origin Divine Ability." Ye Tian planned.

However, creating a body-based Origin Divine Ability was incredibly difficult. Ye Tian didn't even know where to begin.

Although Dao Ancestor Void Sky had previously spoken to him about creating Origin Divine Abilities, all he could offer were suggestions and couldn't truly help him.

Following Dao Ancestor Void Sky's advice, Ye Tian could first cultivate some body-type chaos divine abilities. Once he had enough experience, he could try creating chaos divine abilities! That's right, creating chaos divine abilities! Most chaos divine abilities in the chaos world were created by True Ancestors, while powerful ones were created by Dao Ancestors.

Ye Tian wasn't capable of creating powerful chaos divine abilities, but as long as he could create any chaos divine ability, it would be sufficient. After all, he wasn't aiming to create heaven-defying Origin Divine Abilities—that would take a lifetime!

Next, Ye Tian began collecting body-type chaos divine abilities, regardless of their power—he wanted them all.

He even used Heavenly Monarch Sundragon to exchange some body-type chaos divine abilities from the Sun Heaven Hall.

In just a short time, Ye Tian had collected more than twenty body-type chaos divine abilities, and he began cultivating them one by one.

Initially, cultivating a body-type chaos divine ability took Ye Tian at least a thousand years. However, body-type chaos divine abilities shared common characteristics, and once Ye Tian understood enough of them, it didn't take long to cultivate each new one.

Later on, he could even master one body-type chaos divine ability in just ten years.

He then pushed all of these chaos divine abilities to their limit.

Gradually, Ye Tian's number of limit-level chaos divine abilities grew, and the length and breadth of his Dao Form also expanded.

As his Dao Form grew stronger, Ye Tian's power naturally increased as well.

Ten million years!

Twenty million years!

Ye Tian's seclusion lasted a long time. Eventually, news of him faded from the Grand Universe, and fewer people discussed him. He was on the verge of becoming a legend to the younger generation.

But everyone knew that Ye Tian still ranked first on the Heavenly Monarch Rankings, and no one could surpass him.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred million years had passed.

Many things had happened in the Grand Universe. For example, the War God Tower's Goddess Yun Zi achieved the peak strength of a nine-star Divine General and broke through to the Destiny Realm. Upon entering the Destiny Realm, her progress was rapid, clearly having access to ample resources, causing her strength to soar at an astonishing pace.

Now, the strength of Goddess Yun Zi was gradually approaching the ranks of the Heavenly Monarch Rankings.

Compared to Ye Tian, her progress seemed slow, but compared to other Heavenly Monarchs, she was a true prodigy.

Several great powers had produced powerful Heavenly Monarchs, and Goddess Yun Zi was just one of the more prominent figures.

Meanwhile, many local talents of the Grand Universe had also emerged, including a prodigy from the Human Race known as the Divine General Tai Hao.

In just tens of millions of years, he had reached the level of a six-star Divine General and continued to improve, making him another promising prodigy.

Ye Tian's wife, Xiao Yue, and his younger sister, Ye Yu, had also seen significant growth in their cultivation. Both had reached the peak of the Destiny Realm and were just one step away from forming a True Spirit. Additionally, many Heavenly Monarchs had emerged from the Human Race, numbering in the hundreds, with most joining the Void Sky Hall.

Void Sky Hall.

Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue, Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu, and others had all broken through to the Half-Step True Spirit Realm. Among them, Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue had even managed to fuse 60% of his body and True Spirit thanks to abundant resources, making his strength far superior to before.

Yet, Ye Tian remained a Heavenly Monarch, which made them quite curious.

One day.

Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue and Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu were chatting.

"Tun Yue, do you know why he's still in the Heavenly Monarch stage? The last time I saw him, his essence, qi, and spirit had all reached the Heavenly Monarch's peak. On top of that, many of his chaos divine abilities have also reached the limit. Why is he still remaining among the Heavenly Monarchs?" Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu asked curiously.

"I'm not sure!" Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue shook his head. "Perhaps it's to build an even stronger foundation. A heavenly pride of that level is beyond our comprehension."

"Could it have something to do with the curse?" Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu speculated.

"The curse?" Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue frowned. "You mean the curse that Zero placed on the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws? Zero cursed him to never ascend to the True Spirit Realm. But didn't the Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws consult the Dao Ancestor?"

"He did consult the Dao Ancestor, but the Dao Ancestor isn't in the Grand Universe anymore and can't enter it. There's no guarantee he can help the Dao Child break the curse!" Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu said. "But this isn't something we need to worry about. With the Dao Child's talent, if he truly can't break the curse, the Dao Ancestor surely won't sit idly by… We don't know the full situation, so let's not jump to conclusions!" Heavenly Monarch Tun Yue reminded him.

"Alright!" Heavenly Monarch Peng Yu nodded.

That same day.

News spread from Giant Axe City: True Monarch Berserk had successfully fused his body and True Spirit, fully stepping into the True Spirit Realm and becoming a true True Monarch.

Although he was previously referred to as a True Monarch, it had only been in name; he was a pseudo-True Monarch. Only upon entering the True Spirit Realm could one be considered a true True Monarch.

As soon as he became a True Monarch, True Monarch Berserk's strength multiplied several times, making him undoubtedly the strongest expert in the Grand Universe.

Additionally, a new ranking appeared on the Grand Universe's Ancestral Stele—the True Monarch Ranking.

However, True Monarch Berserk was the only name on the True Monarch Ranking.

Seeing only one person on the True Monarch Ranking, the other Half-Step True Spirit experts threw themselves into cultivation, all striving to ascend to the True Spirit Realm, but this step was not easy.

Though the shackles of the Half-Step True Spirit and True Spirit Realm had loosened in the Grand Universe, breaking through remained extremely difficult—ten times harder than in the chaos world.

True Monarch Berserk's breakthrough was due to his high talent, abundant resources, and tremendous willpower.

For others, the road to breakthrough would not be so easy.

However, after several million years, True Monarch Myriad Peak of the Chaos Merchant Guild successfully broke through the shackles and ascended to the True Spirit Realm, becoming the second True Monarch on the True Monarch Ranking.

In the years that followed, several Half-Step True Spirit experts broke through, entering the True Spirit Realm one after another.

This era had become a battlefield and age of conflict between True Monarchs, with many True Monarchs rising to fame across the Grand Universe.

Meanwhile, the once-renowned Dao Child of Ten Thousand Laws gradually faded from the public eye, no longer garnering as much attention.

Some even believed that Ye Tian's potential had been largely exhausted, his progress slowing to the point of being comparable to that of ordinary personal disciples of Dao Ancestors.

Indeed, Ye Tian's previous rapid progress had been too frightening, and now, this pace seemed normal.

Fortunately, they were unaware that Ye Tian had been cursed by the Evil Demon Seal Curse, or countless people would mock and ridicule him day and night.

"The embryonic form of my Dao… it's now 50,000 meters long and 20,000 meters wide. My Dao Form has grown incredibly fast, and my strength is far greater than before!" Ye Tian sighed.

In the years of seclusion, he not only cultivated many body-type chaos divine abilities to their limit but also studied countless ancient texts and created one body-type chaos divine ability after another.

At first, the chaos divine abilities he created were terrible, the lowest of the low among chaos divine abilities.

But over time, the body-type chaos divine abilities he created became decent, though still far from the level of the Three Thousand Chaos Divine Abilities.

He wasn't disappointed, though. The chaos divine abilities listed among the Three Thousand Chaos Divine Abilities were mostly created by invincible True Ancestors or even Dao Ancestors. Most chaos divine abilities created by ordinary True Ancestors couldn't even make it onto that list.

As Ye Tian created more and more chaos divine abilities, his foundation became something others couldn't even begin to imagine.

After accumulating enough, he finally had the qualifications to create an Origin Divine Ability.

After pondering for a long time, he was finally ready to attempt the creation of a body-type Origin Divine Ability.

"Let's begin. My plan is to create one body-type Origin Divine Ability within one hundred million years. I don't care about its power, as long as I can create it, that will be considered a success!" Ye Tian murmured to himself.
