Your Talent is Mine

TL: Etude

Hidden in the shadows, Ye Tian sensed a Planetary System level Desolate Demon flying towards his current position.

When Ye Tian mobilized the power of the Desolate Realm to sense the opponent, the Planetary System level Desolate Demon also sensed Ye Tian, mistaking him for a fellow clan member.

“Who is there?” the Desolate Demon shouted.

But as he flew closer, a gigantic hand instantly seized the Planetary System level Desolate Demon. Ye Tian then used his powerful celestial soul to cast a hypnotic talent on him.

In an instant, the Desolate Demon was hypnotized and controlled by Ye Tian, losing even the slightest chance to call for help.

After controlling the Desolate Demon, Ye Tian began interrogating him, trying to learn more about the Desolate Tower.

“Tell me everything about the Desolate Tower!” Ye Tian demanded.

Immediately, the Desolate Demon started revealing information about the Desolate Tower.

Quickly, Ye Tian gained a deeper understanding of the Desolate Tower.

As he previously knew, only Desolate Demons and Innate Deities could enter the Desolate Tower. Other upper and lower clans could not enter.

The only requirement to enter the Desolate Tower was the ability to mobilize the power of the Desolate Realm.

Once the power of the Desolate Realm was mobilized, it meant receiving the tower’s recognition, allowing entry.

Though other upper and lower clans couldn’t enter the tower, the Innate Deities still prohibited them from approaching, fearing the tower’s conditions might leak. Even if the other clans speculated, they couldn’t confirm it. If they learned the condition to enter the tower was mobilizing Desolate Realm power, it would cause significant issues.

Some upper clans might take desperate measures, like occupying the body of a Desolate Demon or using other methods.

Innate Deities feared the information spreading to the outside world, provoking the covetousness of myriad races.

From the Desolate Demon’s account, Ye Tian learned the Desolate Tower contained immense secrets. Even among the Desolate Demons, with his Planetary System level status, the demon couldn’t know more; only by entering the tower could one learn more.

The Planetary System level Desolate Demon had not yet entered the tower, aiming to accumulate strength first. Entering later, when stronger, would ensure greater benefits.

Meanwhile, the Desolate Demon also knew there were three Peak Universal Gods and one Dominator guarding the tower.

As for other Innate Deities, they occasionally entered the tower but usually did not guard it.

Additionally, the Desolate Tower could be entered repeatedly, but each entry required a long time, making every opportunity precious.

After asking many questions and understanding enough, Ye Tian decided to disguise himself as the Planetary System level Desolate Demon.

Of course, relying solely on a disguise talent wasn’t enough; he needed auxiliary disguise treasures, which Ye Tian had in abundance.

Such a level of disguise required changing his soul aura.

Universal Gods and Dominators could easily see through a person’s soul aura. If the soul aura differed, disguising the exterior and bloodline would be futile.

“Disguising soul aura—others might find it impossible, but I can. I cultivated the Nether King Secret Manual, which contains secret techniques to change soul aura. Once applied, even a Dominator can’t see through it. However, it won’t last long, but it’s sufficient for entering the Desolate Tower!” Ye Tian thought.

Thus, Ye Tian put the Planetary System level Desolate Demon into a deep sleep and began his disguise.

In no time, Ye Tian completely disguised himself as the Desolate Demon—Jian Gu!

Desolate Tower.

Standing in the center of the Desolate Demons’ territory, this mysterious ancient tower was surrounded by three smaller towers.

These three smaller towers were established by the Innate Deities, equipped with numerous formations and defensive measures. Even a Supreme would find it difficult to break through these three towers in a short time.

Moreover, the three towers could collectively raise a defense to protect the Desolate Tower, preventing enemies from infiltrating it.

It was evident that the Innate Deities had taken extensive defensive measures, highlighting the importance they placed on the Desolate Tower.

Within these three smaller towers, powerful members of the Desolate Demon Race were stationed, rotating every so often.

On this particular day, a Planetary System level Desolate Demon arrived in front of the Desolate Tower.

This Desolate Demon was Ye Tian in disguise.

“Jian Gu, why are you here?” A middle-aged man suddenly appeared before Ye Tian, staring at him with a puzzled expression.

Ye Tian glanced at the man and used his copy talent to examine him, confirming his identity.

“Elder Yao Ge, I want to try entering the Desolate Tower!” Ye Tian said earnestly.

From the memories of the Planetary System level Desolate Demon, Jian Gu, Ye Tian knew the man’s identity. He was Yao Ge, a peak-level Universal God and an elder of the Desolate Demon Race, possessing immense combat power.

In terms of strength, Ye Tian was naturally no match for him now. Given Elder Yao Ge’s power, coupled with the ability to mobilize the Desolate Realm’s power, he could even rival the combat strength of a Heavenly Venerable.

Yao Ge was also friends with Jian Gu’s father, making them quite familiar with each other.

If Ye Tian had not interrogated Jian Gu, he would have certainly exposed himself before Elder Yao Ge. However, he now understood Jian Gu’s usual tone and attitude when speaking with the elder, ensuring he wouldn’t slip up.

“Entering the Desolate Tower now is too early. The Planetary System level and Galaxy level are two very important stages, offering two significant opportunities to gain astonishing fortunes from the Desolate Tower. You should accumulate more strength to secure better chances,” Elder Yao Ge advised.

Ye Tian hurriedly responded, “Elder Yao Ge, I have been hiding a portion of my strength all along. Now that I feel I’ve accumulated enough, I still want to enter the Desolate Tower!”

“Alright, it’s your decision. I can’t stop you. If you want to go in, then go ahead,” Elder Yao Ge said, disappearing and returning to one of the smaller towers.

Immediately, Ye Tian walked towards the Desolate Tower.

Throughout the encounter, neither Elder Yao Ge nor the other powerful Desolate Demons guarding the area realized that Ye Tian was not the real Jian Gu.

The Desolate Tower.

Ye Tian arrived at the main entrance of the Desolate Tower, which was a layer of light.

To pass through the light screen, one had to activate the Desolate Pattern talent and mobilize the Desolate Realm’s power to envelop oneself.

“Desolate Pattern talent, activate!” Ye Tian activated the Desolate Pattern talent, mobilizing the Desolate Realm’s power to envelop himself. He then passed through the light screen, truly entering the Desolate Tower.

Inside the Desolate Tower.

Ye Tian walked in and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In truth, he had harbored a slight worry before entering, fearing that the Desolate Demon Race had hidden other conditions.

But evidently, there were no hidden conditions. Mobilizing the Desolate Realm’s power was the only requirement.

At this moment, Ye Tian’s curiosity finally peaked.

He genuinely wanted to know what secrets the Desolate Tower held, and this secret was about to be revealed before him!
