Chapter 1224: Displaying Strength, Injuring Dao Ancestor Wushuang! |
TL: Etude
“Top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree!”
Ye Tian was tempted and immediately set out to compete for the top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree.
However, he didn’t let Ye Xingchen or Ye Xingyue join the fray for the Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree. Their strength was still far from matching the Invincible Dao Ancestors, and entering such chaos would be exceedingly dangerous.
Moreover, amidst the chaos, Ye Tian couldn’t guarantee their safety.
Thus, Ye Tian and the Dark King clone both took action.
Soon, they arrived at the Forbidden Continent Fragment.
This Forbidden Continent Fragment floated within the void, its essence incompatible with the Forbidden Continent itself. It was undoubtedly a piece of the Forbidden Continent devoured by the Darkwing Roc Eagle from the Dark Forbidden Domain.
At this moment, the top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree had already been destroyed in the battle among the Invincible Dao Ancestors, leaving only fragments. What the Invincible Dao Ancestors were fighting over were these fragments of the Spiritual Root Tree.
The Dark King’s reputation was well-established, making him qualified to compete for the Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree fragments, and the Invincible Dao Ancestors acknowledged this.
But as for Ye Tian’s true body, as Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, his strength hadn’t been displayed at the level of an Invincible Dao Ancestor, nor did he have any remarkable feats to his name. This stirred dissatisfaction among some Invincible Dao Ancestors.
“Get lost! How dare a mere Pinnacle Dao Ancestor compete for the top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree?”
A voice rang coldly. The speaker was none other than Dao Ancestor Wushuang.
Dao Ancestor Wushuang wielded a middle-grade Forbidden Weapon, slashing at Ye Tian from a distance with a single swing of his long sword. Ye Tian sneered and crushed the sword energy with his bare hand.
“How is this possible!?” Dao Ancestor Wushuang was utterly shocked.
He was an Invincible Dao Ancestor, and even among them, he wasn’t weak. A single strike of his sword could obliterate a top-tier Pinnacle Dao Ancestor. Even those exceptional Pinnacle Dao Ancestors who could withstand his attack wouldn’t do so lightly.
Yet Ye Tian had blocked his attack bare-handed. It was simply outrageous.
In truth, Ye Tian had employed the Forbidden Dao Technique—Nine Limits Armor—which could defend his entire body, enabling him to stop Dao Ancestor Wushuang’s strike with his hand.
Ye Tian didn’t retaliate against Dao Ancestor Wushuang. There was no need. Instead, he used the Forbidden Dao Technique—Shadow Escape—to seize the fragments of the top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree with incredible speed.
Dao Ancestor Wushuang cursed under his breath but refrained from provoking Ye Tian any further. Instead, he focused on grabbing other fragments of the Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree.
Before long, all the fragments of the Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree had been taken, leaving not a trace behind.
The Invincible Dao Ancestors wasted no time and departed immediately after securing the fragments, not lingering even for a moment.
However, as Dao Ancestor Wushuang prepared to leave, Ye Tian blocked his path.
“Dao Ancestor Wushuang, you attacked me without provocation. Do you think you can just leave like that?” Ye Tian’s voice was cold.
“Hmph! You’re just a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor. So what if I attacked you?” Dao Ancestor Wushuang showed no signs of backing down.
“Then let me show you the strength of this Pinnacle Dao Ancestor!” Ye Tian made his move.
He didn’t employ the Forbidden Dao Technique: Dark Limit Dao Spear, as the identical use of Forbidden Dao Techniques would almost confirm that Ye Tian and the Dark King were the same person. After all, while many Dao Ancestor legions cultivated identical techniques, Forbidden Dao Techniques were unique. If two individuals shared the same Forbidden Dao Technique, they were almost certainly the same person.
Thus, the Dark King typically only used Shadow Thorn and Dark Limit Dao Spear as his Forbidden Dao Techniques. As the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, Ye Tian naturally avoided using those two techniques.
He drew out a top-grade Forbidden Weapon-tier saber, which he had forged later as a Forbidden Weapon, crafted exclusively for his true body’s use.
Although he didn’t unleash the Forbidden Dao Techniques Shadow Thorn or Dark Limit Dao Spear, Ye Tian could still utilize Shadow Escape and the defensive Forbidden Dao Technique Nine Limits Armor. His combat power, bolstered by the assistance of the top-grade Forbidden Weapon-tier saber, was sufficient to hold off Dao Ancestor Wushuang.
Rumble!!!
Dao Ancestor Wushuang was intercepted and began an intense battle with Ye Tian. However, because Ye Tian refrained from using offensive Forbidden Dao Techniques, he was suppressed throughout the fight.
Suddenly.
A spear pierced through his neck in an instant, spilling a large amount of blood.
This strike injured him!
“Dark King, it’s you!” Dao Ancestor Wushuang roared furiously.
Swish! The Dark King appeared. It had been his attack just moments ago. The peculiar and unpredictable nature of Shadow Thorn left Dao Ancestor Wushuang unable to react or defend himself.
Immediately, Ye Tian and his clone, the Dark King, launched a joint attack on Dao Ancestor Wushuang. The assault rendered Dao Ancestor Wushuang unable to retaliate and quickly inflicted severe injuries on him.
Abruptly.
From a distance, the aura of an Invincible Dao Ancestor swept across the void—it was another Invincible Dao Ancestor from the Limitless Sky Sect.
“Time to go!” Ye Tian decided against continuing the battle. The Limitless Sky Sect had more than just Dao Ancestor Wushuang among its Invincible Dao Ancestors. If Ye Tian sought to kill Dao Ancestor Wushuang, the other Invincible Dao Ancestors of the sect would undoubtedly intervene.
Moreover, the Invincible Dao Ancestors of Blackwind Mountain wouldn’t support Ye Tian’s recklessness.
Thus, at best, he could wound Dao Ancestor Wushuang; killing him was unrealistic.
Woosh, woosh!
Ye Tian and the Dark King vanished instantly, leaving behind Dao Ancestor Wushuang, whose body now bore several additional wounds.
“Are you alright?” Dao Ancestor Soul Piercer of the Limitless Sky Sect appeared and inquired.
“I’m fine.” Dao Ancestor Wushuang shook his head.
“Stop provoking that Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws. His background runs deeper than ours, and now his combat strength isn’t much weaker than yours. Don’t completely offend him. One day, if he becomes a Half-Step Domain Ancestor, you’ll be doomed!” Dao Ancestor Soul Piercer advised.
“I understand,” Dao Ancestor Wushuang nodded.
Ye Tian sorted through the top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree fragments he had seized. This small piece alone was equivalent to the total spiritual root liquid of an entire Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree from the past.
Previously, the Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree he had captured had only qualified as a top-grade wondrous object at best. However, this Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree was comparable to a top-grade forbidden supreme treasure! It was only because the Half-Step Domain Ancestors hadn’t discovered the existence of this Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree that it had been overlooked. Otherwise, it would never have fallen into the hands of mere Pinnacle Dao Ancestors or Invincible Dao Ancestors.
“With so many top-grade Forbidden Spiritual Root Tree fragments, my cultivation will soar by at least double!” Ye Tian estimated.
Following this, Ye Tian and his children continued exploring the World of Wood in search of opportunities but found little of value. They soon departed and entered the World of Water within the body of the Darkwing Roc Eagle.
World of Water
After entering, Ye Tian didn’t sense the presence of any forbidden wondrous objects, but the place was still crowded with Pinnacle Dao Ancestors and Invincible Dao Ancestors.
These Dao Ancestors were hunting the aquatic beasts of the World of Water! The World of Water was an endless oceanic realm inhabited by countless water beasts.
Using his Copy Talent, Ye Tian learned that these water beasts belonged to unique species and were classified as water-origin beasts. Furthermore, from the information gathered, he discovered that these water-origin beasts could repair origin injuries, nourish the body, and restore physical defects.
Without hesitation, Ye Tian, Ye Xingchen, and Ye Xingyue joined the hunt for water-origin beasts.
