TL: Etude
The fall of Destiny Realm True Monarch Heavenly Origin, along with a group of Half-Step True Ancestors, was just the beginning. In the following days, a large number of Half-Step True Ancestors perished, almost none able to resist Moen, the chief official disciple of the Beastmaster Sect.
Soon enough, word spread among the remaining Half-Step True Ancestors about a powerful abyssal creature from the Beastmaster Sect, ruthlessly slaughtering them.
Ye Tian also heard the news.
“Even True Monarch Heavenly Origin is dead!” Ye Tian felt a bit surprised.
He had heard of True Monarch Heavenly Origin, who belonged to Dao Mountain—one of the four transcendent forces. Heavenly Origin’s strength was formidable, far surpassing even that of his senior brother, True Monarch Dragon Sea.
For such a powerful Half-Step True Ancestor to die at the hands of a disciple from the Beastmaster Sect, without even a chance to escape, showed just how terrifying this disciple was.
Ti flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During that ti, the number of fallen Half-Step True Ancestors exceeded ten thousand—far more than those who had perished earlier. Most of these deaths were at the hands of Moen.
As a result, many Half-Step True Ancestors went into hiding, avoiding any confrontation with the Beastmaster Sect, at least until they possessed the strength to challenge Moen.
…
One day.
Ye Tian was mining rare ores in a mountain range rich with precious veins when he suddenly received a distress transmission from True Monarch Dragon Sea.
“Senior Brother Dragon Sea is in danger!” Ye Tian was shocked.
Through the ssage, he learned that True Monarch Dragon Sea, along with several Half-Step True Ancestors from the Void Sky Hall and other factions, had encountered Moen from the Beastmaster Sect.
At that mont, they were in full retreat, with so already falling in battle.
Without hesitation, Ye Tian shifted through space, racing to save True Monarch Dragon Sea.
He locked onto Dragon Sea’s position through the transmission and moved at full speed toward him.
“I’m not too far from Senior Brother Dragon Sea. At my speed, it won’t take long to reach him. As long as Senior Brother’s life-saving thods are strong enough, he should be able to hold on until I arrive!” Ye Tian calculated carefully.
However, if he couldn’t make it in ti, there would be nothing he could do except avenge his senior brother.
Ti ticked by, every second costing the life of another Half-Step True Ancestor.
One by one, they fell, until only True Monarch Dragon Sea remained.
But now, Dragon Sea had no strength left to fight back, relying solely on a life-saving treasure to barely stay alive.
…
Above a dense forest, True Monarch Dragon Sea used a spatial treasure to shift away, only for Moen to arrive monts later, destroying the entire forest in a single attack.
True Monarch Dragon Sea’s body was pierced, plumting into the ruined forest below.
Wave after wave of attacks rained down on him, obliterating him countless tis. Yet each ti, True Monarch Dragon Sea revived, thanks to a miraculous life-saving item—the Fate Sea Tear.
However, the power within this last treasure was quickly running out, leaving True Monarch Dragon Sea with little ti left.
“Little junior brother… I think this might really be the end for ,” True Monarch Dragon Sea thought bitterly, ready to accept his fate.
Just as he was about to give up, the void tore open, and a hand shot out, blocking Moen’s attack in an instant.
A figure erged beside True Monarch Dragon Sea—Ye Tian had arrived just in ti!
“Senior Brother Dragon Sea, are you alright?” Ye Tian asked.
“If you had been just a few seconds later, I really wouldn’t have made it,” Dragon Sea sighed with relief.
Moen’s eyes narrowed as he saw Ye Tian arrive. Without hesitation, he prepared to kill Ye Tian as well.
Although Ye Tian had just blocked one of his attacks, that strike hadn’t carried Moen’s full strength—it had rely been a casual blow.
“Origin Divine Ability—Abyssal Rift Claw!”
Moen’s claw struck out, the terrifying power of the Abyssal Rift Claw descending, imbued with laws that could tear everything apart.
This strike fully demonstrated Moen’s fearso strength, releasing the imnse power of an abyssal creature. While ordinary abyssal creatures lacked intelligence and couldn’t create origin divine abilities, Moen’s talent was extraordinary, allowing him to create the Abyssal Rift Claw, an abyssal origin divine ability.
In terms of classification, the Abyssal Rift Claw was considered an upper-grade origin divine ability, and not just any upper-grade—it stood among the top-tier origin abilities. Its power rivaled Ye Tian’s recently perfected Yin-Yang Dual Limit Saber and Spacequake.
True Monarch Dragon Sea stared at the descending Abyssal Rift Claw, his heart filled with fear.
“If Moen had used this move earlier, I wouldn’t have held on until Ye Tian arrived.” He couldn’t help but wonder anxiously, “Can my junior brother block this?”
“Spacequake!” Ye Tian casually pointed, and the force of Spacequake shattered the Abyssal Rift Claw instantly.
Without pausing, Ye Tian swung his saber toward Moen.
Whoosh!!
The Yin-Yang Dual Limit Saber tore through space, slicing toward Moen.
However, Moen’s understanding of the Dao of Space was profound. He sensed the strange nature of the saber strike in advance and shifted away from that position, though he was just a fraction too slow—his skin was grazed by the edge of the blade.
“How terrifying! It actually managed to cut through my skin!” Moen gasped in shock.
He had always been confident in his defense. Even when multiple Half-Step True Ancestors joined forces, they hadn’t been able to breach it. That confidence was why he never feared facing them, no matter how many there were.
But Ye Tian’s attack, which hadn’t even landed squarely, only grazing his body, had still torn through his skin. The power behind it was terrifying!
Suddenly, Ye Tian slashed at Moen again, and the two clashed head-on.
Boom!!!
Moen was blasted backward, and cracks began to form across his body.
He was injured!
“Impossible! How can a re Half-Step True Ancestor possess such terrifying power? He’s just from an ordinary race! I’m an abyssal creature—how could he possibly break through the limits and wield such a monstrous physical force?” Moen was in disbelief.
Escape!
He didn’t want to fight any longer. Just two exchanges with Ye Tian were enough for him to realize that Ye Tian’s strength surpassed his own.
Moen treasured his life. Even if he had a chance of defeating Ye Tian, he wouldn’t risk it. What if he fell in battle? He had a bright future ahead—he could even beco a Pinnacle Dao Ancestor one day. There was no need to gamble with his life.
Whoosh…!!
Moen tore through space, fleeing in an instant. Ye Tian quickly told True Monarch Dragon Sea to leave, then gave chase.
In the blink of an eye, both Ye Tian and Moen vanished from sight.
…
Ten minutes later.
Moen roared in frustration: “You’re stronger than , but it’s impossible for you to kill ! Why keep chasing ? You’re wasting your ti! Abyssal creatures are incredibly hard to kill—you’d need power far beyond mine to stand a chance!”
Ye Tian responded calmly, “In that case, I won’t hold back any longer.”
“Void Splitting Technique!”
With a casual strike, Ye Tian unleashed the power of the Void Splitting Technique.
The space around Moen ruptured, and his body suddenly cracked apart.
A terrifying force surged through both Moen’s body and soul, severely injuring him.
“This… this is a Dao technique!”
For the first ti, Moen felt genuine fear.
This wasn’t just an origin divine ability—it was a Dao technique!
For a Half-Step True Ancestor to wield a Dao technique—what kind of monster was Ye Tian? Moreover, Ye Tian’s mastery of the technique was at the major accomplishnt level, if not the perfected realm.
The power was overwhelming!
“You… you’ve entered the Ancestral Talent Pool?” Moen stamred, a horrifying thought flashing through his mind.
The Ancestral Talent Pool was a place he had long dread of entering, but he had never qualified. Even the Beastmaster Sect had no place reserved for him.
In that instant, Moen’s jealousy erupted. He envied Ye Tian to the point of madness—he wanted nothing more than to kill him on the spot.
But even that jealousy couldn’t override his fear. Moen fled even more frantically.
A single blow from Ye Tian, using a Dao technique, had severely injured him. Such was the terrifying power of Dao techniques. If he didn’t run, he would undoubtedly die!
Ye Tian sighed inwardly, regretting that he hadn’t killed Moen in that strike. The reason he hadn’t used a Dao technique earlier was that he didn’t want to reveal his abilities in front of True Monarch Dragon Sea.
Now that only the two of them were present, there was no risk in using it.
“As long as I kill Moen, no one will know that I can wield Dao techniques.”
