Your Talent is Mine

“They’re here!”

Ye Tian sensed the presence of some Innate Deities, each extremely powerful, all at the level of Heavenly Venerable or Supreme. There were dozens of them.

Such a formidable force, enhanced by the Desolate Realm, would deter even the Supremes of the Immortal Race from attacking. In the outside world, they could easily be considered a major cosmic clan.

Yet now, Ye Tian had to face the attacks of so many Supremes alone, a colossal challenge indeed.

“It would take about ten more minutes to fully control the Desolate Realm. I just needed to hold on for ten minutes,” Ye Tian calculated.

One by one, the Innate Deities arrived. The first to come was the foremost Innate Deity of the Desolate Realm, the first Supreme—Desolate Supreme.

Boom! The aura of Desolate Supreme enveloped the area, his gaze fixed on Ye Tian.

“Heavenly Venerable realm, not an Innate Deity!”

Desolate Supreme was initially stunned, somewhat puzzled as to how an external Heavenly Venerable like Ye Tian could appear here, but he quickly understood.

“I see, you’re an external Heavenly Venerable who once intruded into the Desolate Tower, obtained the Desolate Lord Mandate, and now, having broken through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, you wish to control the Desolate Realm. Damn outsider, courting death!” Desolate Supreme was furious.

In his view, the Desolate Realm belonged to the Innate Deities, and no outsider was allowed to interfere.

But now, Ye Tian was attempting to control their Desolate Realm. If he succeeded, they would be doomed. He could not allow this to happen.

“Desolate God’s Heavenly Hand!”

Desolate Supreme pressed down with a hand, a giant hand obscuring the sky, emerging from the void, and slamming towards Ye Tian.

Such a strike was undoubtedly comparable to a full-force attack of a powerful Supreme, enhanced by the power of the Desolate Realm, enough to threaten a powerful Supreme’s life.

In Desolate Supreme’s eyes, Ye Tian was merely at the Heavenly Venerable combat level and could not withstand such a powerful blow.

“As expected of the first Supreme of the Desolate Realm, Desolate Supreme. But did you forget that I possess the Desolate Lord Mandate?” Ye Tian sneered.

Boom! The power of the Desolate Realm was bestowed upon Ye Tian, merging with his own strength. Instantly, Ye Tian executed the Chaos True Technique—Chaos God Demon Form, along with the first style of the Tiangang Battle Technique.

Suddenly, an earth-shaking demonic aura was born.

The Chaos God Demon Form, standing on the ground and supporting the sky, protected Ye Tian, striking out with both hands to meet Desolate Supreme’s Desolate God’s Heavenly Hand. This collision created a thunderous shockwave.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The surrounding void continuously shattered, but under the strong recovery power of the Desolate Realm, it gradually calmed down.

“Desolate Lord Mandate, I didn’t expect it to allow you to mobilize so much power of the Desolate Realm!!!”

Desolate Supreme’s face showed an incredulous expression as he roared.

Without the Desolate Lord Mandate, he believed he could instantly kill Ye Tian.

But with the Desolate Lord Mandate, Ye Tian, a top-tier Heavenly Venerable, could exert the combat power of a top-tier Supreme. Although still inferior to him, Ye Tian could hold his ground for a while.

Time was limited, and he couldn’t afford to delay. Once Ye Tian completely controlled the Desolate Realm, he could even strip them of their permission to use the Desolate Realm’s power. Without it, they could only use their original strength.

These Innate Deities seemed invincible, but they relied on the power of the Desolate Realm. Even the First Divine Lord couldn’t contend with them in the Desolate Realm.

Without the power of the Desolate Realm, these Innate Deities were nothing. Combined, they couldn’t match a Supreme like the First Divine Lord.

Most of them were ordinary Supremes, with only a few powerful ones. They were not formidable enough to resist a realm master who controlled the Desolate Realm.

“I must kill him quickly, or I won’t be able to resist him anymore!” Desolate Supreme was desperate.

As the foremost Supreme of the Desolate Realm for a long time, no other Supreme dared to oppose him.

He had even thought the Desolate Lord Mandate was unimportant, but he never expected someone to actually obtain it.

Once the Desolate Realm had a realm master, his position would be threatened, and he might even die.

Thus, he had to kill Ye Tian.

Boom! Boom! Desolate Supreme continuously attacked Ye Tian, using one powerful secret technique after another.

Under such powerful attacks, even though Ye Tian could mobilize the power of the Desolate Realm, he still got injured, and his injuries worsened progressively.

But he persisted!

“Join forces! This man is an external cultivator. If he controls the Desolate Realm, where will us Innate Deities find room to survive?” Desolate Supreme shouted.

“Yes, Desolate Supreme!”

The other Supreme-level Innate Deities also realized the gravity of the situation. They had to kill Ye Tian; otherwise, their Desolate Realm would completely fall into the hands of an outsider.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Numerous Supremes attacked simultaneously. In just an instant, Ye Tian was sent flying, severely wounded!

“Escape!”

Ye Tian started to move rapidly. Controlling the Desolate Realm didn’t require him to be stationary. The Innate Deities couldn’t interrupt his control process now; as long as he didn’t die, he could succeed.

So, his most crucial task at the moment was to stay alive.

“You want to escape? Don’t even think about it!” Desolate Supreme said.

One after another, the Innate Deities tried to intercept Ye Tian. They also controlled the power of the Desolate Realm, making it very difficult for him to escape.

Gradually, Ye Tian’s aura weakened significantly.

“I still underestimated these Innate Deities. Desolate Supreme’s power alone is terrifying, and the other Supreme-level Innate Deities are not weak either. Luckily, I still have a trump card; otherwise, I’d be dead already, unable to last until I control the Desolate Realm,” Ye Tian thought to himself.

Just when his body couldn’t hold on any longer, Ye Tian finally activated one of his trump cards.

“Time Reversal!”

In an instant, Ye Tian’s condition reverted to what it was before he got injured.

Time Reversal was a capability of his Time Talent. He had used Time Reversal during the final tribulation in the Ten Tribulations Area of the Ruins World, which had allowed him to pass the Ten Tribulations Area.

For a long time, he hadn’t used Time Reversal.

This time, he unleashed it again. His second self’s Time Talent wasn’t of the Super God level, but rather the Mystic level, which he had once seized from an enemy who was a Child of the Universe.

The Mystic-level Time Talent could perform Time Reversal, though its effect was limited and the reversed time wasn’t long.

Moreover, using Time Reversal at the Heavenly Venerable level had significant side effects.

But to fully control the Desolate Realm, he didn’t care about the side effects, no matter how severe.

Seeing Ye Tian’s condition rapidly return to its peak, Desolate Supreme’s pupils contracted.

“Time Talent! Damn it, attack with full force, or we’re finished!”

The other Supremes also understood and unleashed forbidden techniques, determined to kill Ye Tian at all costs.

Soon, Ye Tian was forced to use Time Reversal again, for the second time. On the surface, he appeared to return to his peak state, but as time passed, the side effects would become severe.

In the past, the side effects merely involved losing some lifespan. But using it at the Heavenly Venerable level, the side effects now included permanent damage to his soul and body, which was difficult to recover from.

Nine minutes passed.

It seemed that he could completely control the Desolate Realm, but Ye Tian couldn’t hold on any longer.

At this moment.

Ye Tian gritted his teeth and began to use Time Reversal for the third time.

Boom! The power of time fluctuated, and Ye Tian once again returned to his peak state.

Seeing this, Desolate Supreme’s pupils shrank.

“Madman! You’re at the Heavenly Venerable level, and your Time Talent is only Mystic level. Yet, you dare to use Time Reversal a third time. Doing this, you might never be able to progress again.

Madman! What good is it for you to control the Desolate Realm this way?!”

Ye Tian ignored Desolate Supreme’s words and continued to protect himself.

The final wave of attacks soon passed, and ten minutes finally elapsed.

Boom! The Desolate Realm was completely controlled by the Desolate Lord Mandate, which flew to Ye Tian and merged into his body.

At this moment, Ye Tian declared, “From today onwards, I am the Lord of the Desolate Realm!”
