Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 167: Spatial Confinement! The Substitution Talent!

"The human realm, huh? It's a pity this space rift is too low-level for me to truly pass through. Otherwise, I'd really like to see the human realm myself!" Emperor Ling remarked, gazing at the space rift. Then, it made its move. A force of spatial power spread out, and the next moment, the space rift began to crumble. The top-tier array, newly constructed by the three major bases to suppress the rift, was rendered useless as the rift was torn open again.

On Earth's end of the space rift.

Ye Tian sensed the anomaly in the space rift immediately, and the other King-level beings quickly sensed it too, running far away. They all knew the Emperor-level beasts were launching another attack. The only regret was that the top-tier array was about to be scrapped again, costing the three bases a significant amount of resources.

However, the Kings suddenly found themselves unable to move, unable to even flee.

Boom!

A force of spatial power froze the void. Under this force, the Kings couldn't even blink, only able to think.

"The space is frozen! What kind of ability is this?"

The Kings were terrified, unable to comprehend this power.

Only Ye Tian understood that this was one of the abilities of the top-tier spatial talent – Spatial Confinement, capable of freezing a section of space.

"Damn it, I can't move!"

Ye Tian tried to use his teleportation power, but it was locked by the spatial confinement. He could still move, but his speed was reduced to an extreme.

Then, he saw a small paw extending from the space rift, the same paw releasing the Spatial Confinement.

"Top-tier spatial talent!"

Ye Tian's mind raced, and he flew towards the paw. Originally, he was only 3000 meters away from the rift, and in an instant, he closed in to 2000 meters. His copy talent could now cover a range of 2000 meters.

At that moment, Kong's hand also extended, holding a golden spear, ready to strike.

"Quick!"

Ye Tian hurried as he reached 2000 meters.

In an instant, he checked Emperor Ling's talent.

Species: Space Devouring Beast

Bloodline Talent: Moonlight Level

Spatial Talent: Top-tier

The Space Devouring Beast had only one special talent – Spatial Talent, but it was a top-tier spatial talent, incredibly powerful. The abilities of a top-tier spatial talent included spatial perception, spatial imprint, personal space, teleportation, spatial blade, and spatial confinement.

In particular, teleportation, spatial blade, and spatial confinement made the Space Devouring Beast virtually unbeatable, as long as its spatial abilities weren't restricted.

"Copy!"

Ye Tian instantly copied the Space Devouring Beast's top-tier spatial talent.

And Kong's attack descended at that moment.

"Human Saint-level, die!"

The golden spear came, and Emperor Ling's spatial confinement didn't deliberately suppress the spear, so its speed was unaffected. In this situation, Ye Tian couldn't dodge the golden spear, even with his time abilities, as its speed was too great for his elementary time talent to be effective.

But Ye Tian had one last card up his sleeve.

"Substitution talent!"

Ye Tian activated his death substitution talent with a thought.

This talent wasn't a spatial one, so spatial confinement couldn't lock it. The substitution talent could activate irrespective of space and time, hence it couldn't be stopped by spatial abilities.

The only way to break the substitution talent was with a soul attack. If Ye Tian's soul was annihilated in time, the substitution talent wouldn't activate.

But neither Emperor Ling nor Kong possessed the rare soul talents that could kill Ye Tian. The death substitution talent was activated successfully. Far away, a hidden clone of Ye Tian, prepared in advance, swapped places with him in an instant. This swap was only of their bodies; items like clothes and storage bags remained unchanged.

However, Ye Tian's treasures were mostly kept in his personal space, which was now quite vast, sufficient to hold all his treasures. The storage bags only contained some common items and resources of lesser value.

With a thud, the golden spear pierced through 'Ye Tian', and a terrifying force completely shattered 'Ye Tian's' body, which then floated and slowly disintegrated in the air.

At that moment, several King beasts rushed through the space rift. They were King Kong's subordinates and, under his instructions, gathered around 'Ye Tian's' corpse to seize his storage bags before returning to the beast realm.

Suddenly, the spatial confinement disappeared, and the Emperor-level beasts left. The other beasts, however, surged forward, seemingly preparing for another invasion.

"Has Lord Ye Tian fallen?" Yun Mengli trembled. That was a Saint-level human, an incredibly powerful and talented one who had achieved such status in a short time!

"Quick, repel the beasts! The Emperor-level beasts won't make another move; we can't let Lord Ye Tian's sacrifice be in vain!" Blood King urged.

The other King-level beings reacted, realizing that if they didn't control the space rift, the three major bases would be in danger. They fought back fiercely, managing to repel the King beasts, who weren't numerous due to the unstable rift. The Kings quickly gathered array masters to hasten the construction of the top-tier array.

In the Ape-Dragon Beast Realm, a King-level beast handed over several storage bags to a weakened Kong. Kong, puzzled as to why he couldn't refine the storage bags, questioned if human storage bags remained hard to refine even after their owners' death. Not understanding much about human realms and storage bags, Kong was merely curious and didn't suspect anything.

Using the power of an Emperor-level beast, Kong forcefully broke the soul imprint on the storage bags and opened them.

"What? This is all the human Saint-level had? Where's my Water Dragon Orb?" Kong was dumbfounded at the meager contents. "No, that human had spatial talents and must have had a personal space!"

But it was too late. Personal spaces, maintained by spatial talents, would collapse upon the death of their owners, making it impossible to salvage anything within them. So, Kong's Water Dragon Orb might have been lost into the spatial chaos, making it difficult to find.

"Cursed human! When I cross into the human realm one day, I will wreak havoc!" Kong roared furiously, shaking the realm.

However, neither Kong, Ming Kong, nor Emperor Ling realized that Ye Tian had not died; what Kong had killed was merely a substitution clone.

Near the Demon Sea Base, in a cave within a deep mountain, Ye Tian sat up from a stone slab. Checking his body, he found himself unharmed.

"It worked. It seems everyone must think I'm dead," Ye Tian mused. But then, he was overwhelmed with joy at his great gain. He had acquired a top-tier spatial talent!
