Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Ye Tian eagerly anticipated the so-called difficult test and the rewards that came with it. If this test had indeed been established by a Transcendent, then the rewards would surely be astonishing.

With a flash, Ye Tian was transported to a new place where he encountered a young man.

The young man, upon seeing Ye Tian, spoke, “Challenger, your difficult test is divided into three levels. I will display three different levels of power. Since this inheritance was established, only two individuals have successfully passed the first level. As for the second and third levels, no one has yet succeeded.

Next, I will demonstrate the power of the first level test. Be prepared!”

Ye Tian was surprised by the young man’s words. Initially, he thought this young man was an illusory figure. However, from his words, Ye Tian sensed a deep emotion, something not possible for a virtual being.

“A real being, a phantom spirit, or perhaps a spirit of the artifact,” Ye Tian speculated about the young man’s identity.

However, the young man was enveloped in a power that even Ye Tian’s duplication talent couldn’t penetrate to understand his situation clearly. One thing was certain: this young man was extraordinary.

“Senior, I am curious about your identity in this place of inheritance. Are you truly a living being?” Ye Tian asked.

“If you can pass the three levels of the test, I will tell you whatever you want to know. Otherwise, there is no need for you to know,” the young man replied indifferently.

“Alright, I am ready to take the first level test now!” Ye Tian declared, preparing himself.

“Good!” The young man smiled faintly.

Boom! A terrifying aura erupted from the young man. His cultivation appeared to be at the peak of the Planetary System level, but his aura was far beyond that level.

By Ye Tian’s judgment, even an ordinary Supreme Prince at the peak of the Planetary System level wouldn’t possess such a terrifying aura. Only the top-tier Supreme Princes could exhibit such power.

At this moment, Ye Tian understood why only two people in the universe had passed the first level of the difficult test. Those two were likely the first Divine Lord of the Immortal Race and the first Demon Lord of the Demon Race.

There were many Supreme Princes born in the universe, but most were ordinary. Only a handful of top-tier Supreme Princes could enter this world, and among them, only the first Divine Lord and the first Demon Lord had managed to do so.

In summary, both strength and luck were indispensable. Even with unparalleled strength, if one didn’t encounter the turbulence of the Abyss of Destruction, there would be no opportunity to enter this middle region of the Abyss of Destruction.

“Be careful!” the young man reminded Ye Tian, then launched a punch.

Faced with this punch, Ye Tian remained extremely calm, casually chopping with his hand.

Boom! With a resounding explosion, the young man was directly sliced apart, disintegrating into nothingness. Soon after, countless lights reformed into the young man’s appearance.

The young man now looked at Ye Tian with astonishment in his eyes and said, “Your strength is impressive. You have a chance to pass the second level of the test.”

“Please start the second level test, Senior!” Ye Tian responded quickly.

“Alright!” The young man nodded.

Immediately, the young man’s aura changed again, becoming even more terrifying.

At this moment, Ye Tian sensed a familiar aura emanating from the young man, or rather, a familiar feeling.

“Child of the Era!” Ye Tian murmured to himself.

This was the first Child of the Era he had encountered. Although the Immortal True Lord was a defier of fate, he wasn’t a true Child of the Era, merely a half-step one. If the inheritance of this universe were more complete, the Immortal True Lord would undoubtedly have become a Child of the Era. Unfortunately, as the first defier of fate in this universe’s era, he had no predecessors to guide him.

Otherwise, his achievements would be far greater than they were now, and becoming a Child of the Era would have been easy for him.

“Be careful!” The young man reminded Ye Tian once again before launching another attack.

This time, Ye Tian took it a bit more seriously. Although the young man’s current displayed combat power was still not enough to pose a threat, it was sufficient to warrant his attention. Ye Tian found it challenging to assess his current combat strength accurately. If he continued to measure himself against the Child of the Era, he was undoubtedly beyond even the top-tier Child of the Era.

“Black Lotus Realm!” Ye Tian unleashed this True Chaos Technique, instantly enveloping the young man.

Boom! The young man was annihilated within the Black Lotus Realm, disintegrating into countless lights that quickly reformed into his original appearance.

The young man now stared at Ye Tian with eyes full of shock. “I didn’t expect you to pass the second level of the test so easily!”

He understood very well what it meant to pass the second level test so effortlessly—it meant Ye Tian was definitely a Child of the Era, and not just any Child of the Era but one with a real chance of passing the third level test.

“Interesting, could it be that this time, we might witness a challenger who can pass the third level?” the young man thought to himself.

This inheritance test had existed for many eras. In this universe’s current era, only two had passed the first level of the difficult test. In previous eras, the best results only reached the second level of the difficult test. The most talented challenger almost passed the third level but ultimately failed.

Since the establishment of the inheritance test, no one had ever passed the third level of the difficult test.

“Senior, please proceed with the third level test!” Ye Tian requested.

“Alright,” the young man replied.

Immediately, an even more powerful aura erupted from the young man. The power of the Dao surrounded the area, and a terrifying will descended. This aura alone was enough to terrify a Child of the Era!

“Comparable to me before I entered this world,” Ye Tian thought.

Before entering this world, his body and the power of the Chaos Dao weren’t fully compatible, making it difficult to unleash its full power. His combat strength back then was probably comparable to the young man’s current display.

But now, after his body had been refined by that strange energy, perfectly compatible with the power of the Chaos Dao, his combat strength had skyrocketed, far surpassing his previous self.

“Here I come!” The young man attacked, seemingly transforming into the embodiment of the Dao, with his punch fully displaying the power of the Dao.

Ye Tian didn’t hold back either. He directly used his strongest saber Dao ultimate technique—Heavenly Moon Saber!

With one slash, the young man was sent flying, his body continuously cracking.

Ye Tian continued his assault, and after a few more moves, the young man disintegrated into countless lights.

Soon, the lights reformed, and the young man reappeared.

“You… passed the third level test!” the young man exclaimed in shock.
