Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

From the investigation using his copy talent, Ye Tian discovered that the young man before him was indeed a Desolate Demon.

Desolate Demon: Wu Zhan

Cultivation Talent: Cosmic-level

Defense Talent: God-level

Speed Talent: God-level

Strength Talent: God-level

Spearmanship Talent: Supreme-level

Golden Shield Talent: God-level

Judging by his talents, Wu Zhan seemed quite impressive. However, assessing his combat prowess from talent alone was impossible. After all, Wu Zhan’s cultivation had already reached the Universal God realm.

At this level, what mattered was not just the talent but how well one utilized it—divine abilities, secret techniques, and the understanding of the Dao. These factors truly determined combat strength.

However, Desolate Demons were unique. They could harness the power of the Desolate Realm, akin to the innate abilities of the realm’s divine beings.

Thus, even though this Desolate Demon’s cultivation was only at the third stage of the Universal God, far from its peak, his combat power was still terrifying.

“The Desolate Mark talent should allow communication with the Desolate Realm’s origin, enabling the manipulation of its power. If I copy it, I should also be able to harness the Desolate Realm’s power!”

“Copy the Desolate Mark talent!”

Ye Tian instantly copied this talent.

Actually, the Desolate Mark talent was significantly useful within the Desolate Realm. Once outside, it would be useless.

Thus, Ye Tian wasn’t particularly interested in the Desolate Mark talent. However, to enhance his self-preservation ability within the Desolate Realm, he naturally replicated it.

Wu Zhan gazed at Ye Tian, holding a silver spear, and said, “Being from another race, even though bullying you with my Universal God realm seems unfair, the Desolate Realm’s various races and your kind are mortal enemies. So, you must be killed.”

“You shouldn’t have come to the Desolate Realm; you brought this upon yourself!”

With that, Wu Zhan attacked.

Boom!!!

The Desolate Realm’s power enhanced Wu Zhan’s spear. Combined with a supreme-level spear technique and the strength of his microcosm, this strike became incredibly terrifying! Even an ordinary Universal God standing before Wu Zhan could be killed in one blow.

Facing Wu Zhan, Ye Tian no longer hid his strength.

With the Desolate Realm’s power augmenting him, Wu Zhan’s cultivation couldn’t be judged merely by his third-stage Universal God level; it absolutely equaled the seventh or eighth stage of the Universal God realm.

Additionally, Wu Zhan’s combat prowess was strong, making his combined strength extremely formidable. If Ye Tian underestimated him, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Thus, he decided not to conceal his strength anymore.

“Primordial Scales Armor!”

“God-level Defense Talent!”

…

Ye Tian activated various defensive measures first to ensure his defense was at its peak.

Then, Ye Tian fully executed the Heavenly Moon Saber. “Slash!”

He met Wu Zhan’s spear strike with his saber.

Boom! The void shattered, and shockwaves swept across, instantly obliterating the surrounding mountains into nothingness.

“Impossible!”

Under the powerful impact, Wu Zhan’s body was blown away, only stabilizing with the help of the Desolate Realm’s power.

Slight injury!

“I was injured by a Planetary System-level warrior!” Wu Zhan was stunned.

He was a Desolate Demon, and a Universal God-level one at that, capable of harnessing the Desolate Realm’s power. Yet, he was injured by a mere Planetary System-level warrior. What kind of concept was this?

“How could such a monstrous genius exist in the universe? This defies logic and breaks the limits of the universe’s rules!” Wu Zhan thought incredulously.

“I must kill you!” Wu Zhan roared.

He unleashed all his power, exhausting every bit of the Desolate Realm’s force, and attacked Ye Tian once more.

At this moment.

Ye Tian used the Five Elements Divine Wheel and the powers of time and space to suppress this void. He then executed the Spear of Hellish Void, a great divine ability.

Although Wu Zhan blocked the Spear of Hellish Void, he was still injured by it.

“Black Lotus Realm!”

Ye Tian unleashed the Chaos Black Lotus Realm, enveloping Wu Zhan instantly.

At that moment, Wu Zhan felt his life threatened and hastily activated various defensive secret techniques, supplemented by the Desolate Realm’s power.

Boom!!!! The Black Lotus Realm disintegrated, but Wu Zhan managed to break free.

However, Wu Zhan was in a terrible state, with one arm annihilated and his Origin Divine Armor shattered.

“Escape!”

Wu Zhan realized he was no match for Ye Tian and lost all desire to fight. If he didn’t escape, he was doomed.

Unfortunately, he had no chance of escaping from someone with time and space talents.

“Blade of Time and Space, go!”

Whoosh!! The Blade of Time and Space ignored both time and space, piercing Wu Zhan’s body.

In an instant, a portion of the life force in Wu Zhan was erased, further weakening his state.

“Heavenly Moon Saber!”

Ye Tian slashed at Wu Zhan, the strike landing heavily on him.

Wu Zhan was nearly cleaved in half but still did not die.

“Such stubborn vitality!” Ye Tian sighed inwardly.

He knew well that the reason Wu Zhan was so hard to kill was due to the Desolate Realm’s protection. Without it, Wu Zhan would have been dead long ago.

“Desolate Demons cannot match Innate Deities in harnessing the Desolate Realm’s power. When Innate Deities use it, their combat power increases terrifyingly. No wonder those Supremes fear the Desolate Realm’s Supremes and dare not invade the Desolate Realm!” Ye Tian pondered.

Deep within the void.

A group of Innate Deities’ consciousnesses were observing the battle.

At this moment, these Innate Deities were dumbfounded.

Although Wu Zhan wasn’t the strongest Universal God among the Desolate Demons, he was still a Universal God! The Desolate Realm was quite small compared to the territories of external races. Thus, the number of Universal Gods among Desolate Demons wasn’t vast, only a few dozen.

“Wu Zhan must not die!” An Innate Deity spoke.

“A Desolate Demon Universal God dying is a major event. If that one finds out, they will be furious. But we, Innate Deities, cannot intervene, or the oath’s power will severely injure us, possibly even kill us!” Another Innate Deity responded.

“We can’t intervene; only non-Innate Deities can act. Quickly, find a nearby strong warrior to rescue Wu Zhan!” One deity suggested.

They quickly began searching for nearby Universal God-level warriors.

However, Innate Deities weren’t omnipotent. Finding a nearby Universal God-level warrior took some time, and they couldn’t guarantee finding a suitable one.

“There’s a seventh-stage Universal God of the superior clan nearby, but their strength is inferior to Wu Zhan’s. They might only be able to buy some time, not the ideal choice.”

“Long Teng, a peak Universal God, is also close to the battlefield, but he’ll need a few minutes to get there. The seventh-stage Universal God of the superior clan will take only about thirty seconds. What should we do?”

“Send the seventh-stage Universal God of the superior clan immediately to buy time, then have Long Teng provide support. Sacrificing the superior clan member is better than losing Wu Zhan!”

“Alright, let’s do it!” The Innate Deities mobilized at once, determined to save Wu Zhan.
