Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 518: The Fight Within the Ancient Temple!

In the boundless void, a monk clad in a kasaya emanated endless sorrow and despair.

He watched as star fields in the universe collapsed, and countless lives perished.

He wanted to stop it but was powerless.

On a continent, there was a magnificent, immense Buddhist temple, along with countless other temples.

Suddenly, the continent was destroyed, and many powerful beings were obliterated.

The monk took some disciples with him, traversing numerous star fields step by step, until they reached a ruin world. Here, in one of the precious temples, they awaited the final moment.

Then, all the monks sat down cross-legged.

Suddenly, a terrifying shockwave struck, causing the world to shake immensely.

Without warning, one by one, the Buddhist disciples silently lost their lives, and this terrifyingly powerful monk also closed his eyes, his breath gone.

Before his death, he cried out, “I am not willing to accept this!”

Crack! The scene shattered, and princes like Ye Tian came back to their senses.

“That was the obsession scene of the monk before his death. It has not dissipated in this universe even now,” Ye Tian thought to himself.

From that scene of obsession, it was evident that this monk was incredibly powerful, capable of crossing numerous star fields in a single step and suppressing galaxies with just one hand—a terrifyingly powerful being.

He might have been a Supreme! Yet, even a Supreme met his end.

“This monk and the other monks came to this ruin world not killed by the impact but died silently. Even a Supreme died without a sound. Could it be…”

Ye Tian suddenly thought of a possibility.

Once the universe was destroyed, all beings must die, even Supremes couldn’t survive.

Perhaps this was why all beings from the previous universe didn’t live to see this era.

At this time, one of the princes from the Immortal Race, named Yuan Feng, sighed, “When the great destruction of the universe occurs, even Supremes can’t survive. One day, when our universe faces its great destruction, even if we can cultivate to the realm of Universal Gods with infinite lifespans, we will perish along with the universe!”

A prince from the Demon Race sneered, “Heh, it’s not even certain whether you can leave this ruin world alive, yet you’re lamenting about this. Even if you eventually reach the realm of Universal Gods, or even the Dominator Realm, our universe is still a long way from its destruction. Is there a need for you to worry now?”

“Hmph, I was just sighing!” Yuan Feng retorted coldly.

At this moment, all the princes were very wary of each other, each activating their defensive measures to prevent sneak attacks.

In this ancient temple, treasures might be encountered at any time. If a treasure appeared, a fight might break out.

The reason everyone was standing here peacefully for the time being was that no treasures had been found that were worth fighting over.

Although the bones of the monk who was suspected to be a Supreme were preserved, they had lost the power of a Supreme. Otherwise, none of the princes present could even get close to a Supreme.

Ye Tian tried to use his talent-copying ability to check the talent situation of this monk, but he was disappointed.

The monk did not have any talents, perhaps because they had dissipated. After all, this powerful being was a creature from the previous universe and had died countless ages ago. Perhaps even the mark of his talents had perished with the great destruction of the universe and naturally couldn’t be preserved until now.

Another possibility was that beings from the previous universe were not limited by talents, as the universe was different and so were its rules.

The bones were not valuable, so the other princes naturally didn’t pay attention to them, each searching for treasures within the ancient temple.

Ye Tian, however, approached the monk’s bones and touched his skull, arms, and so on…

“Such a powerful body!!” Ye Tian was astonished.

He felt that his own body was too weak compared to the monk’s, not even one in ten thousand as strong!

“Strange, above the level of God, the divine body is fixed and cannot continue to increase in strength or defense, only divine power and soul can be improved. Even if this person was a Supreme Child of the Universe, his body shouldn’t be this strong after becoming a God!” Ye Tian was puzzled.

Now, he finally understood why the monk’s body hadn’t decayed.

Normally, once divine power and soul are lost along with the laws and origins, even the bodies of powerful beings would gradually decay, just at varying speeds.

For example, the monks outside the grand temple hall were also incredibly powerful, definitely strong beings, but they still decayed into dust and dispersed upon touch.

This monk’s body, however, was strong to an inconceivable degree. Even after losing all power, his mere physical body was enough to remain undecayed for endless ages.

Such a body was beyond Ye Tian’s imagination. “If I could also possess such a body, perhaps there’s a hope of advancing to the level of a Supreme Prince at the Emperor level and breaking the shackles of the universe!” Ye Tian speculated.

He didn’t search the monk’s body for treasures but chose to leave directly.

The dantians of powerhouses above the Planetary System level turn into worlds. Many times, such beings store their treasures within their dantian worlds or in spatial storage items like the Xumi Storage Ring.

Regardless of the situation, the inner world of this strong being collapsed and disappeared the moment he died. If there were any treasures, they would have entered the spatial turbulence and dissipated along with the great destruction of the original universe, and spatial rings and the like would have become useless long ago.

Because of this, there were no valuable items left on the bodies of strong beings from the previous cosmic era. Only items stored in this ruin world could be preserved, but even those were extremely rare.

This knowledge was also imparted to Ye Tian by Dominator Xuan Yuan to prevent him from wasting time.

Suddenly.

Boom!!! A battle began not far away! Whoosh! Ye Tian flew towards the direction of the battle.

This ancient temple was not limited to a single grand hall but consisted of multiple buildings.

At this time, several princes were engaged in a fierce battle beneath a pagoda. A prince from the Golden Race and one from the Demon Race already fallen, and a prince from the Angel Race severely injured, on the brink of death.

Ye Tian’s arrival drew the hostility of two princes from the Immortal Race and another from the Demon Race.

“Scram!”

One of the Immortal Race princes launched an attack at Ye Tian.

“An Eternal Child of the Universe!”

Ye Tian was slightly surprised.

Eternal Children of the Universe were exceedingly rare; even the major cosmic races didn’t have many Eternal Children of the Universe. These two Immortal Race princes and the Demon Race prince were all Eternal Children of the Universe, whereas the fallen Demon Race prince and the Golden Race prince probably were not, hence they were instantly killed.

As for the Angel Race prince, his strength was also quite weak; merely being caught in the aftermath was enough to leave him gravely injured and near death.

“Die!”

Ye Tian showed no mercy against the Immortal Race prince, immediately unleashing the Heavenly Moon Saber.

Pfft! A single slash pierced through the body of the Immortal Race prince, the terrifying power of the saber’s law shattering the prince’s life force.

In just an instant, this Eternal Child of the Universe from the Immortal Race fell.

“Not good, he’s not an ordinary Eternal Child of the Universe!”

Yuan Feng, the prince from the Immortal Race, and the Eternal Child of the Universe from the Demon Race were both terrified and hurriedly tried to escape.

“Ten Thousand Layer Realm!”

With a thought from Ye Tian, he trapped the two Eternal Children of the Universe from the Immortal and Demon Races.

These two Eternal Children of the Universe were only of the third tier, far inferior to Ye Tian in strength.

With just two slashes, Ye Tian easily killed them.

“Don’t kill me!”

The Angel Race prince, who was probably just an Ordinary Child of the Universe, was retreating in terror.

Pfft! Ye Tian swiftly slashed, directly killing this Angel Race prince.

Immediately after, Ye Tian went over and took the weapon in the hand of the Angel Race prince. It was a sharp weapon, likely a one-time use weapon capable of delivering a fatal attack to the enemy.

Every prince had means to protect their lives or a last resort. If one was compassionate or a bit slower, allowing the opponent to unleash their trump card, they might indeed suffer a heavy blow.

Ye Tian understood this principle well. He didn’t give his enemies any chance to turn the tables, not even if the enemy was just an Ordinary Child of the Universe.

After collecting these princes’ storage rings, Ye Tian didn’t look closely at what was inside but checked the surroundings and finally understood why these princes had fought.

“An armor set!”

Ye Tian’s gaze fell on a set of armor on a skeleton in front of the pagoda. This skeleton was clad in the armor set, which was perfectly preserved.

This person’s status must have been not low, possibly the guardian of this pagoda. The armor set was also extraordinary, containing a faint aura of the origin law of gold.

Ye Tian had seen upper-grade Divine Artifacts, but their fluctuations were not as strong as this armor set.

“Could it be a supreme-grade Divine Artifact?” Ye Tian speculated.

He reached out and touched the skeleton, but it didn’t completely turn to dust; only the flesh part had dissipated, leaving behind a golden skeleton.

The golden skeleton was well preserved, indicating that this person’s physical body was also very strong, although not as much as the one in the grand hall, but not too far off.

Ye Tian removed the armor set from the skeleton and then attempted to refine it.

“It’s difficult to refine!” Ye Tian frowned.

Immediately, he activated his time talent, accelerating time, and then continued to refine.

In the outside world, ten days had passed in a blink of an eye, while Ye Tian had been refining for a year under accelerated time.

On this day, Ye Tian finally managed a preliminary refinement and finally understood the level of this armor set.

It was not a supreme-grade Divine Artifact but an Origin Artifact that surpassed supreme-grade Divine Artifacts! However, Ye Tian couldn’t utilize this Origin Artifact now; he had to wait until his cultivation was higher to truly use this Origin Artifact.

Having obtained an Origin Artifact, Ye Tian was in a good mood and then turned his attention to the pagoda.

The pagoda was located in the center of the ancient temple and was likely a very important place in the temple.

After some thought, Ye Tian decided to enter the pagoda.

Perhaps, there were precious items within this pagoda.
