Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 596: The Dark Ape! An Unknown Assessment!

TL: Etude

To advance from the fourth stage of life to the fifth stage using the Heavenly Origin True Method, one required a large amount of essence of life from a sixth-stage being.

However, the chaos creature at the Dominator level was enormous, and its life essence was exceptionally abundant.

More importantly, this chaos creature had not been dead for long, so much of its life essence had not dissipated.

Had it been dead for countless ages, hardly any life essence would have remained.

It could be said that Ye Tian was quite lucky.

As time passed, Ye Tian absorbed a vast amount of the chaotic life essence. This essence was consumed to enhance his life level, with a portion stored within his body until the final moment when it burst forth, facilitating Ye Tian’s ultimate transformation.

A day passed! Two days passed!

In the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by.

By this time, the aura of the chaos creature’s corpse had weakened somewhat, and much of its blood had been drained, all refined by Ye Tian.

Ye Tian’s life aura had also significantly strengthened, but he still remained at the peak of the fourth stage of life, just shy of the fifth stage.

“It’s about time!” Ye Tian muttered.

Immediately, he fully activated the Heavenly Origin True Method, causing all the stored sixth-stage life essence within him to surge forth.

Instantly, Ye Tian’s body began its transformation.

Countless life auras enveloped Ye Tian, forming a cocoon around him. Inside this cocoon, he endured the baptism and transformation of life.

The difference between the fourth and fifth stages of life was substantial, a complete qualitative transformation.

Apart from having a lifespan nearly equivalent to that of the universe, the fourth stage didn’t offer much else special.

However, the fifth stage was different, possessing an intense life force which gave a terrifying recovery speed that wasn’t linked to talents.

Thus, a fifth-stage being, when facing an opponent of the same level, would be dominant and nearly impossible to kill.

Several days later.

The cocoon shell cracked, and Ye Tian, clad in armor, stepped out with a life aura far surpassing his previous state.

The next instant, Ye Tian reined in his life aura, becoming more unassuming.

“Finally reached the fifth stage of life. Entering the Chaos Mini World was indeed a wise decision! If it were in the outside world, it would have taken me countless years to find a sixth-stage life corpse!” Ye Tian murmured.

Having become a fifth-tier being, Ye Tian felt that the strength in his body, celestial force, and celestial soul could continue to improve.

Therefore, Ye Tian spent some time in seclusion to cultivate.

With a 300-fold time acceleration and abundant cultivation resources, it didn’t take Ye Tian much time to completely enhance his physical strength, celestial force, and celestial soul to their current limits.

At this moment, Ye Tian’s combat power had increased manifold.

“Back to being a Child of the Era!”

Ye Tian was certain that his current combat power had returned to the level of a True God Child of the Era.

He had thought it would take a long time to return to the Child of the Era, but to his surprise, it hadn’t been long before he was back to the strength of a True God Child of the Era.

It could be said that Ye Tian was very lucky.

Perhaps this was related to his enjoyment of the celestial race’s destiny. Although he had been stripped of the Child of the Universe status by the universe’s origin, being the first of the celestial race and one of the founders of the celestial plan, he enjoyed the entire celestial race’s destiny.

As a result, his destiny was now stronger than before.

With strong destiny comes good luck.

After the breakthrough in strength, Ye Tian left the area. As for the corpse of the Dominator-level chaos creature, Ye Tian tried to store it in his Xumi Storage Realm but failed.

Without the aid of the Chaos Black Lotus, he wouldn’t even have had the qualifications to approach the corpse of a Dominator-level chaos creature.

Ye Tian estimated that the strength of this chaos creature might be comparable to a Supreme in the universe.

Ye Tian could interact with Supremes because they reined in their aura; if they released it, just the aura alone would be enough to kill him.

This level of chaos creature’s corpse was beyond his ability to take.

Reluctantly, Ye Tian had to abandon this chaos creature’s corpse.

After leaving, Ye Tian sought other opportunities.

Suddenly, one day.

The sky shattered and a terrifying battle aura emerged.

Ye Tian’s eyes widened as he saw a black ape and a blood-red giant dragon fighting in the distance, their battle fluctuations far exceeding Ye Tian’s imagination.

“These two chaos creatures are definitely among the most terrifying Great God-level beings in the Chaos Mini World!” Ye Tian exclaimed.

That silver wolf paled in comparison to these two chaos creatures. Even though Ye Tian’s strength had increased many times over, reaching the level of a True God Child of the Era, he was no match for these two beings.

Suddenly.

The black ape suddenly grew several times larger, grabbed the blood-red giant dragon, and tore it apart, scattering its blood across the void.

Instantly, only the ape’s roar remained in the heavens and the earth.

As for the blood-red giant dragon, it was completely dead.

“Better leave this area quickly; encountering this black ape would be real trouble!” Ye Tian thought.

Whoosh! He changed direction and quickly departed, not daring to look back in that direction.

However, the next moment.

A black ape appeared in front of Ye Tian, staring at him.

Seeing this black ape, Ye Tian was quite helpless.

Clearly, this black ape was the one that had torn the blood-red giant dragon apart.

The opponent’s speed was too fast, leaving Ye Tian no time to react.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Ye Tian’s mind.

He was looking for a way to survive. Although he possessed the talent of a decoy death, there was no guarantee that the ape wouldn’t be able to find his true body, as the decoy death talent could only be used once in a short period.

So, there was only one chance! Time ticked away, and the black ape just stared at Ye Tian without making a move.

“You are not a creature of this world!” The black ape suddenly spoke.

“How do you know?” Ye Tian widened his eyes and asked.

“Aura!” The black ape said, “The aura on you is out of sync with this world; I can feel it. You must be a being from the outer universe, right?”

This made Ye Tian even more surprised.

This black ape even knew about the universe and possessed high intelligence.

Up until now, the intelligence of the chaos creatures in this world had not been very high, but this black ape was an exception.

“How do you know about the universe?” Ye Tian asked.

He didn’t know if the ape would answer, but he asked anyway.

“Inheritance!” The black ape said, “Our race has an inheritance, so we know about the universe. Moreover, I also know that our mini-world has been swallowed by the universe, so those powerful beings are all dead. I will give you a chance. Come with me to a place for an assessment. If you pass, I will let you go. If you fail, sorry, but I will kill you.”

With that, a hint of killing intent burst forth from the black ape.

Ye Tian was certain that the black ape was not joking.

At this moment, Ye Tian hesitated.

If he chose to use his death substitution talent to escape, there was a chance, but the talent’s level was too low. Facing such a terrifying black ape, there was a significant chance of failure.

As for the flower of death, it also could not preserve Ye Tian’s life.

The black ape only needed to attack again and again to obliterate all the flowers of death.

“Alright, I will go with you!” Ye Tian chose to agree.

Perhaps this was an opportunity. If he failed the assessment, he could still choose to flee later.

“Very well, then follow me!” The black ape said.

Immediately, Ye Tian used his copy talent to discern the name and talents of this black ape.

Species: Dark Heavenly Ape

Bloodline Talent: Mixed-grade

Strength Talent: God-level

Speed Talent: God-level

Punching Talent: Supreme

Claw Talent: Supreme

Stick Fighting Talent: Supreme

Darkness Talent: God-level

Spatial Talent: God-level

“It even has a God-level spatial talent. It didn’t use any spatial techniques before; it seems it had plenty of reserve when facing that red dragon!” Ye Tian thought.

It seemed that this Dark Heavenly Ape was even stronger than he had imagined.

Moreover, the bloodline talent of this Dark Heavenly Ape was very high, reaching a mixed-grade. Given the opponent’s combat power, it completely had the potential to become a Supreme in the future, and one stronger than the Supremes within the universe.

Before long, Ye Tian followed the Dark Heavenly Ape to a divine mountain.

At that moment, Ye Tian was surprised to discover that there were buildings on the mountain! Yes, buildings, and they were palace-type structures.

Given the lifestyle of these chaos creatures, it was unlikely they would build structures.

Moreover, this palace was extremely majestic, with a very strong aura, definitely not something that a Great God-level being could construct, and this palace also contained arrays.

“Why is there a building here?” Ye Tian asked.

“It was built by the Master!” The Dark Heavenly Ape replied.

“You have a master too?” Ye Tian’s pupils shrank.

“Not my master!” The Dark Heavenly Ape explained, “It’s the master of our clan. The master left this place countless ages ago, leaving only our race to guard here. When this mini-world was swallowed into the universe, my elders left in advance, leaving only me to guard.”

This information unsettled Ye Tian considerably.

From the words of the Dark Heavenly Ape, Ye Tian learned much.

The master of this palace was a strong being within the chaos, and as for what identity, that was hard to guess; it could even be a being surpassing the Supremes.

Of course, it could also just be a Supreme.

Moreover, the Dark Heavenly Ape’s race had long known that this mini-world would be swallowed by the universe, which was quite remarkable.

“Go in, enter the palace, and participate in the assessment!” The Dark Heavenly Ape urged.

“Alright!” Ye Tian nodded and entered the palace.

At this moment, Ye Tian felt both anticipation and nervousness.

He did not know what kind of assessment he was about to undergo, but this might be an astounding opportunity, surpassing any he had ever encountered before.
