Your Talent is Mine - Chapter 517: The Ancient Monastery Ruins!
TL: Etude
When Ye Tian arrived here, it just so happened that a Prince was also present, having hurried over as well.
Immediately, Ye Tian’s clone talent enveloped the other, examining the latter’s talents.
Triangle Race: Golden River
Cultivation Talent: Hong level
Strength Talent: God level
Speed Talent: God level
Defense Talent: God level
Boxing Talent: Supreme level
Golden Armor Talent: God level
Thunder Talent: God level
“Triangle Race!”
Ye Tian had little impression of this race; it likely wasn’t one of the major cosmic races, but it definitely belonged to one of the higher races.
Only higher races had the chance to enter the ruin world; weaker races had no such opportunity.
The criterion for evaluating a higher race was whether there was a Supreme within the race. If there was, along with some Dominators, it could be evaluated as a higher race. Otherwise, no matter how many Dominator level powerhouses there were, it couldn’t be considered a higher race.
For instance, the Crystal Spirit Race, one of the vassal races of humanity, couldn’t be ranked as a higher race due to the absence of a Supreme and was merely considered a minor race.
“Human Race!”
The Triangle Race’s Golden River’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Ye Tian.
As a Prince of a higher race, what he feared the most was encountering a Prince from one of the major cosmic races.
“I hope it’s just an Ordinary level Prince!” Golden River hoped inwardly.
He really didn’t want to give up the chaotic treasure not far from here. Although he wasn’t cultivating the Chaos Dao, chaotic treasures were useful to all cultivators, just more so for those cultivating the Chaos Dao.
Whoosh! Golden River flew swiftly, hoping to seize the chaotic treasure first.
“Almost there! Almost there!”
The treasure was now in sight, a grass growing on a cliff fissure.
This grass was about the height of a person, filled with dense chaotic laws and a hint of chaotic origin.
Clearly, this grass was a relatively high-level chaotic treasure.
Golden River saw it, and so did Ye Tian! However, Golden River was a bit closer to the grass.
“Ten Thousand Layer Realm!”
Ye Tian instantly used this space divine ability, trapping Golden River within the Ten Thousand Layer Realm.
He wasn’t sure about Golden River’s strength, but even a first-tier Eternal Prince wouldn’t be able to break through the Ten Thousand Layer Realm instantly.
After trapping Golden River, Ye Tian activated Black Feathers.
Whoosh! A pair of black wings appeared on Ye Tian’s back. With a slight flutter, Ye Tian flew at a speed surpassing instant teleportation, reaching the cliff in a blink.
Immediately.
He carefully picked the chaotic grass, while the Triangle Race’s Golden River pulled out a golden arrow, activating it to release a beam of golden light.
Boom!!!! The golden light penetrated Ye Tian’s Ten Thousand Layer Realm barrier with incredible speed and power.
“Drop that grass!” Golden River roared.
The level of that grass was so high that if he absorbed and refined it, he might even advance his divine canons to the perfected realm. Naturally, he didn’t want Ye Tian to take it.
For this, he even used a secret treasure given by the higher-ups of his race, specifically targeting formations and barriers, with immense destructive power.
“Interesting treasure, it actually broke through my Ten Thousand Layer Realm!” Ye Tian thought.
The golden light returned to Golden River’s hand, transforming into a golden arrow.
“This grass was obtained by me and rightfully belongs to me. Are you trying to rob it?” Ye Tian questioned.
“Indeed!” Golden River threatened, “I saw it first. If you hadn’t used spatial divine ability to trap me, this chaotic grass would have been mine. Hand over this grass, and I’ll only take half. If you refuse, don’t blame me for killing you!”
“You think you can kill me?” Ye Tian scoffed with a cold laugh.
Hearing Ye Tian’s scorn and disdain, Golden River threw a punch, as if unleashing a great sun.
This was clearly a perfected level Supreme Punch Technique!
“A Supreme Punch Technique. You’re too weak!” Ye Tian casually slashed with his saber.
The Heavenly Moon Saber Ultimate Technique instantly broke through Golden River’s Supreme Punch Technique, then pierced through his flesh.
Instantly.
Golden River stood frozen in mid-air, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
Then, he fell from the sky, his body disintegrating, until only fragments remained upon hitting the ground!
“A second tier peak Child of the Universe. Quite a decent strength, probably one of the Triangle Race’s leading figures. Too bad, still too weak!” Ye Tian murmured.
With Golden River dead, Ye Tian stepped forward to take his Xumi ring, finding many valuable items inside.
After all, the Triangle Race was also considered one of the higher races, aiming to break into the ranks of the major cosmic races, hence investing heavily in their Princes, even bestowing many treasures, hoping for one of them to bring back a legacy or astonishing treasure.
Thus, even a second tier peak Child of the Universe received treatment comparable to Ye Tian’s.
Besides the arrow treasure, there was also a pearl containing terrifying thunder yuan force, startling even Ye Tian, likely another one-time weapon capable of unleashing terrifying attacks.
Moreover, there was a drop of million-year-old stone milk that could instantly heal a Prince from near-death to peak condition.
Such rare treasures were not even in Ye Tian’s possession.
Apart from these items, Golden River also had numerous divine crystals and other treasures, totaling a significant value.
Killing a Prince had substantially increased Ye Tian’s wealth.
However, ordinary treasures were of little use to Ye Tian now, so his excitement wasn’t much.
What truly moved Ye Tian’s heart was that chaotic grass, its value immeasurable, greatly beneficial to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian had never seen such a high-level chaotic treasure; it might even advance his Chaos Body Refining Technique to the fifth layer’s perfected realm.
“Let’s go!”
Ye Tian quickly departed, continuing to seek opportunities.
In this ruin world, the chaotic grass wasn’t considered a true great opportunity. A true great opportunity could greatly assist a race, even leading to its rise.
And a single piece of chaotic treasure like this grass was nothing in comparison; it only seemed precious to Ye Tian and Golden River because they had just arrived. Once more treasures like the chaotic grass were encountered, they would seem ordinary.
Before long.
Boom! A battle sounded ahead. Ye Tian, now invisible, approached for a closer look but didn’t engage upon seeing two different races fighting, choosing instead to leave.
In the following day, Ye Tian encountered many valuable items, taking them one by one, reaping a rich harvest. During this time, he also easily killed a few Princes from different races.
On this day.
Ye Tian walked through a mountain range and saw a majestic figure emerge ahead, a terrifying aura enveloping the area.
Seeing this, Ye Tian’s heart stirred.
“Could it be someone has triggered the ruins!” Ye Tian thought.
The ruins were undoubtedly the most precious part of the ruin world, but not many had been preserved through the great cosmic destruction and remained untouched by predecessors.
In the previous cosmic era, many forces preserved some legacies and treasures in this ruin world, thus creating numerous ruins.
However, with the ruin world opening many times, many ruins had been discovered, with only a few still containing treasures and legacies that hadn’t been taken due to their difficulty. Even Emperor level Princes found them nearly impossible to take, and some were not allowed to be taken.
The Human Race also knew the locations of some ruins, but going there wouldn’t yield much benefit, so they didn’t provide Ye Tian with a map.
Only some undiscovered ruins might contain valuable treasures.
Whoosh! Ye Tian activated Black Feathers, flying swiftly towards the destination.
Soon, Ye Tian arrived.
Indeed.
There was indeed a ruin deep in this mountain range, an ancient monastery.
The ancient monastery bore the marks of time and the tremors of cosmic destruction, now quite dilapidated, but its once grand scale was still evident.
At the same time.
Ye Tian also saw several Princes, including two from the Immortal Race, two from the Demon Race, one from the Golden Race, and one from the Angel Race.
With Ye Tian’s arrival, seven Princes had now gathered here.
“Human Race!”
The Princes from the God and Demon Races sneered disdainfully at Ye Tian, considering him no threat.
The Golden Race Prince approached Ye Tian, saying, “Friend from the Human Race, how about we form an alliance? This ruin has just appeared, and we don’t know what’s inside. It’ll be safer for us to be allied!”
“Not interested!” Ye Tian flatly refused.
“You…”
The Golden Race Prince was somewhat irritated but said nothing more and retreated far away.
These Princes hesitated to enter the ancient monastery immediately because the situation was unclear. Instructor Xuan Yuan had also warned Ye Tian that even upon finding a ruin, one should not enter recklessly without understanding the situation, or else facing a killing formation would mean certain death. At this moment.
The Princes from the God and Demon Races took out puppets, sending them into the ruins first.
Ye Tian also took out a puppet, exchanged from the Supreme Hall of Humanity, naturally preparing some items for the visit to the previous cosmic ruin world, to avoid being at a disadvantage.
Boom! The puppets entered the ancient monastery and quickly returned.
No danger! The Princes rushed into the ancient monastery, fearing the good opportunities would be taken by others.
Ye Tian also entered immediately. Upon entering, he saw a large number of skeletons.
These skeletons were mostly sitting cross-legged, with no flesh visible, just white bones filled with the marks of time and ancient aura.
The Golden Race Prince touched a skeleton, which instantly turned to dust.
“These must be beings from the previous cosmic era, their bodies too long decayed to be preserved!” Ye Tian sighed.
So many had died at once, and from their sitting positions, it seemed they were not killed by others, nor did it seem like they were killed by the shockwave of the cosmic destruction.
In fact, Ye Tian had always been puzzled why, despite the ruin world surviving the cosmic destruction, not a single being from the previous cosmic era survived into this one.
Entering the main hall of the ancient monastery.
Ye Tian saw a massive Buddha statue. In the previous cosmic era, there were also forces related to Buddhism.
And beneath the Buddha statue sat a person in a kasaya, seemingly alive.
But Ye Tian was certain the person was long dead, devoid of any vitality.
A Prince from the Demon Race touched the person, half-expecting them to turn to ash.
Suddenly, a fluctuation spread.
“Not good!”
All seven Princes’ expressions changed drastically.
Boom! A vision suddenly filled their minds.
