Your Talent is Mine-Chapter 775: The Fourth Avatar’s Breakthrough, Third-Tier Supreme Combat Power!
TL: Etude
Ye Tian’s fourth avatar had reached the peak of the Dominator level. Though its combat power wasn’t formidable, it still possessed the strength of a second-tier Heavenly Venerable. This was due to Ye Tian’s divine abilities, mastery of the Chaos Dao, Primordial system, and the Heavenly Saber system, all of which could be manifested in the fourth avatar.
The only drawback of the fourth avatar was its physical body. Despite being nurtured by a Strongest Supreme Treasure, its body was far inferior to Ye Tian’s main body, with a life level only comparable to a fifth-stage life form. Consequently, the fourth avatar’s combat power could only reach that of a second-tier Heavenly Venerable, but this was already quite remarkable.
If the fourth avatar broke through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, it would instantly possess Supreme-level combat power. According to Ye Tian’s estimation, once the fourth avatar broke through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, it should have the combat power of a third-tier Supreme. Although this wasn’t exceptionally powerful and couldn’t compare to those above the second tier in the Twelve Cosmic Eras, it would at least grant him a qualification for negotiations, ensuring he wouldn’t be ignored.
Ye Tian planned to use the identity of a mysterious force for these negotiations. By establishing himself as a force comparable to the Hidden God Organization within the chaos, the Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras wouldn’t dare to attack him. Furthermore, Ye Tian could intentionally divulge some information, allowing him to trade with the Supremes of the Twelve Cosmic Eras.
“Innate Light Source,” he thought. Once he obtained the Innate Light Source and mastered the Eternal Light Divine Ability, he would fear nothing. Even if he couldn’t defeat his opponents, he could escape. Only some exceptionally powerful Supremes who could counter the Eternal Light Divine Ability could possibly stop him. By then, his survival ability would increase manyfold.
In the Desolate Realm, Ye Tian’s third and fourth avatars resided. The fourth avatar’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Venerable realm required a significant upheaval, making the Desolate Realm an ideal location. If the breakthrough occurred in the outside world, it would easily be detected. Even on the outskirts of the universe, the breakthrough’s impact would be noticeable due to the descent of the vast cosmic origin, alerting nearby Supremes.
Previously, Ye Tian hadn’t worried about such issues. Even if he was discovered, it didn’t matter. However, the current chaotic state of the universe meant that anything could happen. For safety reasons, he needed to be cautious.
Thus, he chose to break through in the Desolate Realm, a special and rare chaotic spiritual treasure that Supremes couldn’t spy on. Even if a Supreme outside the Desolate Realm knew about the breakthrough, they would only think that another innate deity in the Desolate Realm had broken through to the Heavenly Venerable realm and wouldn’t pay it much attention. Ye Tian’s breakthrough would be extremely safe, and no one would suspect him.
In the Desolate Tower, the fourth avatar began a closed cultivation, preparing to break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. Transitioning from Dominator to Heavenly Venerable was challenging, but not impossible with the right conditions. Ye Tian possessed top-tier talent, surpassing even mixed-tier cultivation talents, naturally meeting the requirements for entering the Heavenly Venerable realm. The only bottleneck was the state of mind, which Ye Tian had already overcome.
Currently, he not only had a seventh-level state of mind but also, due to his continually improving cultivation and increasing strength, his soul had grown stronger, naturally elevating his state of mind to the peak of the seventh level. Unfortunately, the universe lacked methods for cultivating an eighth-level state of mind. Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly reached that level.
With sufficient talent and state of mind, entering the Heavenly Venerable realm was not difficult for Ye Tian. Moreover, his second avatar had previously entered the Heavenly Venerable realm. Although the second avatar had since self-destructed, Ye Tian was not unfamiliar with the Heavenly Venerable realm.
After adjusting his state, Ye Tian began the breakthrough. Not long after, he succeeded.
Boom! The cosmic origin descended, enhancing the fourth avatar’s physical body and expanding and strengthening its microcosm. Additionally, the fourth avatar’s soul underwent a transformation due to the cosmic origin’s reward. Although the universe suppressed physical and soul cultivation paths, upon reaching the Heavenly Venerable realm, both the body and soul would transform. Otherwise, a frail body couldn’t bear the power of a Heavenly Venerable.
While the cosmic origin suppressed cultivation paths, it wouldn’t completely sever them. Thus, Supremes had already broken through half of the suppression, enabling them to pay a certain price to slightly enhance their bodies and souls. This applied even to Supremes who didn’t follow a heaven-defying path.
Previously, Ye Tian had thought one must follow a heaven-defying path to continually enhance the body and soul. However, after reaching this level, he understood many principles. The cosmic origin wasn’t omnipotent, and even the universe’s rules had loopholes. Finding these loopholes allowed one to break through constraints and enhance strength.
For instance, the First Divine Lord of the Immortal Race and the First Demon Lord of the Demon Race had stronger bodies compared to ordinary Heavenly Venerables and Supremes, though not as powerful as those from the Twelve Cosmic Eras or Ye Tian. They had found loopholes and paid great prices to enhance their bodies.
Supremes, at least, had ways to enhance their bodies and souls. However, cultivators below the Heavenly Venerable realm had no such methods. Apart from having powerful divine force and slightly stronger souls, they were almost indistinguishable from God-level beings.
Time passed day by day. The Heavenly Venerable aura emanating from the Desolate Tower grew stronger, and the other innate deities in the Desolate Realm gazed at the tower with fear.
Somewhere in the Desolate Realm
The Desolate Lord and several Supreme-level innate deities sat together, their eyes fixed on the Desolate Tower, each with a furrowed brow.
“The Realm Master’s avatar is so powerful!” an innate deity remarked.
These deities were aware that Ye Tian possessed multiple avatars, but they had sworn not to reveal this information. Although Ye Tian had wanted to keep it secret, the frequent comings and goings of his avatars within the Desolate Realm, along with their need for resources, made it impossible to hide. Thus, he had informed these innate deities.
“Indeed, it has just broken through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, yet its aura is comparable to a third-tier Supreme! In our eyes, a third-tier Supreme is already a top-tier Supreme,” another deity commented. “Back then, even with the help of the Desolate Realm’s origin, our combat power was only that of a top-tier third-tier Supreme.”
“And now,” the Desolate Lord sighed, “the Realm Master’s avatar, relying solely on its combat power, is equivalent to a third-tier Supreme. If it utilizes the Desolate Realm’s origin, it might even exhibit the combat power of a top-tier second-tier Supreme. If a first-tier Supreme were to enter the Desolate Realm and be suppressed by it, the Realm Master might even be able to contend with them.”
Originally, they had already submitted to Ye Tian. Now, with Ye Tian’s fourth avatar breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm and possessing combat power on par with a third-tier Supreme, they had no thoughts of rebellion.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Ye Tian thoroughly stabilized the fourth avatar’s realm. Now, the fourth avatar could be called a Supreme. Supremes and Heavenly Venerables were of the same realm; the difference lay in their combat power. Once one possessed Supreme-level combat power, they were a Supreme, no longer a Heavenly Venerable.
However, Ye Tian’s cultivation was relatively weak, having just broken through to the realm. There was still room for further cultivation and improvement.
“The Heavenly Venerable realm is divided into nine stages. Most ancient Supremes have the cultivation of the peak of the ninth stage. However, advancing within the Heavenly Venerable realm is exceedingly difficult. Moreover, a Supreme’s combat power largely doesn’t depend on cultivation; cultivation only determines the capacity of divine force. The key factors are combat techniques and secret arts. The gap between the first and ninth stages of the Heavenly Venerable realm isn’t insurmountable. Otherwise, my main body wouldn’t have been able to match a fourth-tier Supreme while still at the Dominator level,” Ye Tian mused.
But there was an advantage to improving cultivation: it extended combat duration and slightly enhanced strength. For Ye Tian, increasing cultivation also meant a significant boost in combat power. While other Heavenly Venerables or Supremes could only improve their cultivation, with negligible enhancements to their physical bodies and souls, Ye Tian could continue to grow stronger.
However, this was limited to Ye Tian’s main body. The fourth avatar, like other Supremes, had limited enhancement of its body and soul, only able to increase its cultivation.
“Even if it’s just improving cultivation, it’s still beneficial. My main body needs to accumulate, and now isn’t the time to break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. The fourth avatar is currently at the first stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm. Once it reaches the third stage, I can negotiate with the Master of the Primordial Era and other Supremes,” Ye Tian thought.

Thus, he continued his cultivation, refining a large amount of resources to elevate the fourth avatar’s realm. Ten years passed this way. With an abundance of resources, the fourth avatar finally reached the third stage of the Heavenly Venerable realm. Its combat power remained at the third-tier Supreme level, albeit now at the mid-tier rather than the initial stage.
“That’s about right. Even if my cultivation immediately advanced to the peak of the ninth stage, it would only make me a top-tier third-tier Heavenly Venerable, far from the second-tier Heavenly Venerable level,” Ye Tian understood the gap and constraints between the third and second tiers. If it were so easy to attain second-tier Supreme combat power, the Human Race wouldn’t be devoid of a single second-tier Supreme.
“It’s time to find the Master of the Primordial Era,” Ye Tian murmured.
The next moment, he left the Desolate Realm, heading towards the Ancient Hall.
