Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 692: Defeating Sword Master Baili! The Rise of the Tian Pavilion!

TL: Etude

“One move to defeat you!”

Sword Master Baili shouted, unleashing a powerful sword strike. This strike was the culmination of his swordsmanship, a technique he had honed over many years of dedication. Though it was a rather ordinary ultimate sword technique, it was formidable for any Universal God.

Not everyone was a Peak Child of the Universe or a Supreme Child of the Universe. Creating an ultimate technique with ease was no simple feat.

Facing Baili’s strike, Ye Tian didn’t even draw his saber. He met the attack with a single palm strike.

“Six Paths Chaos Palm!”

With a thunderous roar, the terrifying force of Ye Tian’s palm shattered Baili’s sword light and sent Baili himself flying. Though not injured, Baili looked rather disheveled.

In contrast, Ye Tian stood firm, exuding an air of calm and ease.

“What!!!”

Everyone present was stunned. They had expected Baili to defeat Ye Tian with one move, but to their shock, Ye Tian effortlessly repelled Baili.

Though the outcome of the battle was still undecided, Ye Tian clearly had the upper hand in that initial clash.

“True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, you are indeed formidable. I underestimated you, but your cultivation level is far beneath mine. No matter how skilled you are, you cannot defeat me!”

Baili declared, though his voice, despite its volume, lacked confidence.

Clearly, Baili’s initial self-assurance had been shaken. Ye Tian’s palm strike had not only knocked him back but had also shattered his confidence.

“Fury Armor!”

“Baili Divine Sword!”

With a roar, two Origin Artifacts appeared, amplifying Baili’s aura.

Next, Baili harnessed the power of his microcosm, a cosmic shadow appearing behind him.

“Slash!”

Baili attacked again, this time with full force, his assault far stronger than before.

Ye Tian feigned a serious expression and drew his Origin Artifact long saber, performing the peak-level saber technique, Heavenly Moon Saber.

He refrained from fully unleashing his physical strength and celestial force, as he didn’t want to kill Baili outright.

Since this was a show, he intended to make it convincing.

Boom! The collision between the two generated immense shockwaves. If not for the spatial stability enforced by numerous divine formations and the arena’s energy containment effect, the place would have collapsed and been annihilated.

Ye Tian continuously suppressed Baili in their exchanges but refrained from causing him significant harm.

Suddenly.

Ye Tian used his spatial divine ability the Spear of Hellish Void without deploying its minor achievement. He only utilized the entry-level Spear of Hellish Void, controlling its power to avoid killing Baili.

Boom! The Spear of Hellish Void struck and injured Baili. Ye Tian then used temporal power to further hinder Baili, all while relentlessly attacking with his saber techniques.

Under Ye Tian’s relentless barrage, Baili eventually reached his limit.

Another strike from the Spear of Hellish Void pierced through Baili. Fortunately, as a Universal God with regenerative abilities, he survived, though severely wounded and utterly incapable of continuing the fight.

“True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, I concede!”

Dragging his heavily injured and nearly lifeless body, Baili admitted defeat.

At that moment.

The various factions were utterly stunned, including Divine Lord Tong Luo of the Gaohe Merchant Association.

To be honest, Divine Lord Tong Luo had never believed that Ye Tian could defeat Sword Master Baili. It wasn’t that he doubted Ye Tian’s strength, but in his understanding, no one could challenge a peak Universal God like Baili, who was once a Child of the Universe, while only being at the third stage of the Galaxy level.

This was simply impossible! This perspective stemmed from Divine Lord Tong Luo’s limited view. Even some Universal Gods of the Supreme Hall of Humanity couldn’t fathom it, only the Supremes could roughly estimate a portion of Ye Tian’s strength.

If they knew that the combat power Ye Tian displayed was just a part of his true strength, they would be absolutely shocked.

“Sword Master Baili, you’ve lost. The Tian Pavilion has won the challenge against the Ten Light Sword Sect. According to the rules, the Tian Pavilion will replace the Ten Light Sword Sect as one of the ten elder forces of Tianlan Giant City. All the businesses and resource distributions of the Ten Light Sword Sect in Tianlan Giant City will now belong to the Tian Pavilion. Sword Master Baili, do you have any objections?”

Ye Tian asked.

Sword Master Baili, with a look of despair, replied, “No objections!”

He was well aware that upon returning to the headquarters of the Ten Light Sword Sect, he would face severe punishment, and might even need to compensate for the losses.

Thinking of this, he felt a deep sense of hopelessness.

“Do any other factions have objections? If so, you can challenge the Tian Pavilion. I, the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws, will accept them all!” Ye Tian shouted.

The representatives and leaders of other factions looked at each other, but no one dared to raise any objections.

Ye Tian’s strength was too terrifying, surpassing even Sword Master Baili. Among the forces in Tianlan Giant City, without the Dominators, only a few Universal Gods could suppress Ye Tian.

Moreover, Ye Tian was currently only at the third stage of the Galaxy level. If he reached the peak of the Galaxy level and cultivated for a few more years, being invincible below the Dominator realm wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Therefore, they didn’t dare to offend Ye Tian and couldn’t afford to.

Sword Master Baili and the others from the Ten Light Sword Sect left in shame, unable to stay any longer.

Everyone knew that the Ten Light Sword Sect would soon be forced out of Tianlan Giant City. Without the halo of an elder force and without resource distribution, the Ten Light Sword Sect couldn’t remain as a minor power in Tianlan Giant City. Leaving was their only option.

After the Ten Light Sword Sect’s departure, Divine Lord Tong Luo of the Gaohe Merchant Association stood up and said, “Let us congratulate the Tian Pavilion on becoming one of the ten elder forces of Tianlan Giant City. Now, let’s discuss how to distribute the resources and territories of Tianlan Giant City!”

The meeting lasted three days and nights. Some factions even used force to negotiate resource distribution, but the Tian Pavilion found it relatively easy, facing almost no further disputes.

The Tian Pavilion wasn’t greedy. Even regarding the Ten Light Sword Sect’s territories and resources, they only took the core portion, leaving the peripheral resources and territories to other factions.

It wasn’t that Ye Tian was magnanimous or afraid to seize all the resources, but the Tian Pavilion lacked manpower.

The foundation of the Tian Pavilion in Tianlan Giant City was too shallow. Accepting all those territories, businesses, and resources would overwhelm their personnel.

Moreover, there was another issue—there were too few strong members in the Tian Pavilion. They didn’t dare to recruit many strong individuals hastily due to concerns about loyalty.

Without enough strong members to guard those places, it would be impossible to manage the businesses effectively, leading to potential losses.

Therefore, the Tian Pavilion opted not to accept all the businesses, territories, and resources, instead exchanging them for other benefits, such as policy advantages.

Additionally, Ye Tian planned to gradually intervene in businesses that couldn’t be managed, ensuring the steady development of the Tian Pavilion.

In this way, the Tian Pavilion’s growth would be genuinely powerful.

After the meeting ended, Ye Tian led his people back to the Tian Pavilion headquarters.

The following tasks involved taking over the territories, businesses, and resources, which took Ye Tian about half a year.

After half a year, Ye Tian finally handed all matters over to his wife, Xiao Yue, and his sister, Ye Yu. He then entered seclusion once again.

This time, he aimed to elevate his cultivation to the ninth stage peak of the Galaxy level and enhance other aspects before emerging from seclusion.
