Etude Translations

Chapter 167: Spatial Confinement! The Substitution Talent! TL: Etude "The human realm, huh? It's a pity this space rift is too low-level for me to truly pass through. Otherwise, I'd really like to see the human realm myself!" Emperor Ling remarked, gazing at the space rift. Then, it made its move. A force of spatial power spread out, and the next moment, the space rift began to crumble. The top-tier array, newly constructed by the three major bases to suppress the rift, was rendered useless as the rift was torn open again. On Earth's end of the space rift. Ye Tian sensed the anomaly in the space rift immediately, and the other King-level beings quickly sensed it too, running far away. They all knew the Emperor-level beasts were launching another attack. The only regret was that the top-tier array was about to be scrapped again, costing the three bases a significant amount of resources. However, the Kings suddenly found themselves unable to move, unable to even fle...

 Chapter 166: The Top-tier Spatial Talent – The Space Devouring Beast Emperor Ling! TL: Etude "Lord Ye Tian, you just dodged an Emperor-level beast's strike. Was that the legendary space talent?" Blood King asked curiously. There were a few warriors with spatial talents in the three major bases, but most possessed only inferior or low-level spatial talents, which weren't very effective. To use teleportation, a spatial talent of at least a medium level was required. It was one of the transcendent abilities that defied time and speed. "Yes!" Ye Tian did not deny it, having just used teleportation. Anyone with sense would recognize it as such. "Lord Ye Tian, with your teleportation, even an Emperor-level strike can't kill you. The top-tier array suppressing the space rift has shattered, and King beasts can come through again. We are preparing to rebuild it. Even if the Emperor-level beast doesn't appear again, the increased number of King beasts wi...

 Chapter 165: An Emperor-Level Strike! TL: Etude At one end of the space rift on Earth, Ye Tian instantly felt the tremors in space. As his spatial perception spread out, he immediately noticed the anomaly in the space rift. Right away, he sensed something was wrong – an Emperor-level aura was emanating from within the rift. Swish! Ye Tian flew into the sky, his divine consciousness covering a thousand miles. He telepathically warned everyone: "An Emperor-level beast is tearing through the space rift. Everyone, leave the top-tier array immediately!" Inside the castle. Yun Mengli heard Ye Tian's warning and was instantly startled. An Emperor-level beast! Others, perhaps less experienced, might not know what an Emperor-level entity was, but having been to Zhonghai Super Base, how could he be unaware? Above the King level was the Saint level, and above that, the Emperor level. A single Emperor-level beast could kill him countless times with just a breath. "Run!" Yu...

 Chapter 164: The Appearance of an Emperor-Level Ferocious Beast!  TL: Etude "Ten years!" Ye Tian felt this period to be immensely long, but such was the pace of opening the brain domain. This was still with his Dawn-level talent; for those with Moonlight-level talent, reaching the pinnacle of the Saint level would take at least 50 years, and for those with Morning Star-level talent, it could take hundreds or even thousands of years. Considering that the lifespan of an average Saint-level being was only a thousand years, it showed that a Star-level talent practitioner aspiring to reach the pinnacle of the Saint level might only achieve it at the end of their lifespan, with little hope of advancing to the Emperor level. "10 years isn’t much, and if I maintain three times time acceleration, I can advance to the pinnacle of the Saint level in just over 3 years. But it means my lifespan will deplete thrice as fast, effectively passing 10 years. However, with a lifespan of 15...

 Chapter 163: Invisibility Talent and Top-Tier Disguise! TL: Etude "Chen Fei, just set up a basic array. It's quite simple for you and will put Lord Ye Tian's mind at ease!" a Martial King spoke. "Lord, I... I have been injured during my recent retreat. My soul is damaged, and I'm afraid I can't set up a basic array!" Chen Fei said nervously. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The faces of the King-level figures changed, sensing something amiss, and surrounded Chen Fei. Soul damage? How could a mere Great Martial Warrior suffer soul damage during cultivation, especially without the ability to cultivate mental strength? Did he think he failed in refining his mental strength at the King level? "Lord Ye Tian, is this man really a ferocious beast?" Yun Mengli was uncertain. He scanned carefully with his mental strength, even scanning the flesh, but found not even a trace of ferocious beast aura – it was completely a human body! But Chen Fei suddenly claim...

 Chapter 162: He's a Beast! TL: Etude Ye Tian's arrival quickly caught the attention of Yun Mengli, who was guarding the spatial rift. When Yun Mengli emerged and saw Ye Tian, he recognized him immediately. However, upon sensing the faint Saint-level aura emanating from Ye Tian, he was astounded, realizing that Ye Tian had ascended to Saint-level. "Ye Tian has become a Saint-level? How is this possible?" Yun Mengli was in utter shock. A Saint-level was a realm countless King-levels aspired to reach, with life spans of 1,000 years, and even 1,500 years for those with a perfect foundation. Saint-levels possessed not just longevity but immense strength, and their divine consciousness could probe thousands of miles around, detecting even the slightest movements of an ant. Yun Mengli, with just an extraordinary level cultivation talent and lacking treasures to refine spiritual power, found it difficult to ascend to Saint-level. Despite obtaining several opportunities over ...

Chapter 161: Ye Yu Builds a Perfect Foundation!  TL: Etude "How's the situation now?" Ye Tian inquired. "It's not good. The sea beasts occasionally attack, and right now, it's only King Beasts. If something beyond a King Beast comes through, the space rift area might..." Yue Ling didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was clear. "Has the cause been identified?" Ye Tian found it hard to believe that sea beasts would suddenly come ashore to attack the space rift. Yue Ling shook her head, indicating uncertainty. As a Martial Grandmaster, she only had access to limited information, not privy to deeper secrets. After his visit to the Yue family, Ye Tian left but remained concerned about the sea beast attacks on the space rift. If the rift were compromised, the Demon Sea Base would be in danger. Although he had joined Zhonghai Super Base, he couldn't ignore the Demon Sea Base. "First, I'll take my sister to Zhonghai Super Ba...

 Chapter 160: The Fall of the Yue Family Patriarch?  TL: Etude When Ye Tian traveled from the Demon Sea Base to Zhonghai Super Base, he was always cautious, but now, returning to the Demon Sea Base, he had no such concerns. Moreover, his speed was much faster than before. He quickly crossed the Changling River and traversed hundreds of thousands of kilometers, returning to the Demon Sea Base. From a distance, the Demon Sea Base appeared peaceful, with no noticeable changes from before. Ye Tian didn't forcefully penetrate the base's protective array but instead entered through a gate. Soon, news of Ye Tian's return to the Demon Sea Base spread. Inside a villa. "Brother, you're back!" Ye Yu ran over joyfully upon seeing Ye Tian. Xiao Jin and Xiao Zi, who were nearby, also jumped around excitedly, pleased to see Ye Tian, a familiar face. "Ye Yu, you've made good progress. You're already at the peak of a Great Martial Warrior!" Ye Tian praised, f...

 Chapter 159: Frenzied Exchange!  TL: Etude In the Loose Cultivators Alliance, there was a room specifically for exchanges. Ye Tian met with the Frenzied Sword Saint there. "A Martial Saint!" The Frenzied Sword Saint curiously glanced at Ye Tian, realizing he did not recognize him, but he didn't mind. After all, it was common for people to ascend to Saint-level at any time, and since he often wasn't at Zhonghai Super Base, it was normal for him not to recognize newly ascended Saints. The Loose Cultivators Alliance focused solely on exchanges, not involving any other matters. "Are you the one who wants to exchange Gold-level saber techniques with me?" Frenzied Sword Saint asked directly. "Yes!" Ye Tian nodded but immediately added, "I indeed have a group attack Gold-level saber technique, but the value of a group attack Gold-level saber technique is much higher than that of a single attack Gold-level technique." Ye Tian's implication w...

 Chapter 158: The Frenzied Sword Saint, Advancing to Saint Level  TL: Etude "Ye Tian, let's leave together!" Holy Maiden Xiyue approached with a smile on her face, clearly having reaped good rewards in the temple space.  "Sure," Ye Tian agreed without hesitation, and they left together. After arriving at Zhonghai Super Base, they parted ways. Ye Tian returned home and immediately contacted Wang Yan. Upon receiving Ye Tian's message, Wang Yan hurried to his residence.  "Ye Tian, I'm so glad you returned safely!" Wang Yan looked at Ye Tian with a hint of longing in her eyes. Ye Tian understood what her gaze meant and didn't hesitate to hand her a God Forging Pill, which he had fortunately acquired and stored in a new bottle.  "Sister Wang, this is a God Forging Pill, a lucky find of mine. It can refine spiritual power. Unfortunately, I only managed to get one." "One is enough!" Wang Yan excitedly accepted the pill. "S...

Chapter 157: Opening the Brain Domain! TL: Etude Ye Tian knew that he couldn't obtain any more treasures, so he stopped searching for them. After all, one could only acquire a single treasure from a building, and there wasn't much time left to obtain more. He didn't lack those few treasures anyway. Thus, Ye Tian began his cultivation. He practiced the gold-level saber technique — Desolate Sword Domain. With his 80% saber intent, he was capable of cultivating this technique to a minor completion level. Besides cultivating the gold-level saber technique, Ye Tian also started practicing at the Saint-level. The cultivation at the Saint-level was different from the King-level.  Cultivation at the King-level mainly focused on opening the acupoints, while Saint-level cultivation involved opening the brain domain. Consciousness was a fundamental aspect of opening the brain domain; without it, rashly attempting to do so could result in death or severe disability. In the 21st century...

 Chapter 156: The Era of Sects! The Era of Ferocious Beasts!  TL: Etude Ye Tian had a premonition that if he didn't leave the great hall, he would surely encounter other martial artists. Sun Xinghe and others had not perished. Even though the hall's array was broken and it was filled with numerous golden armored zombie puppets, they might forsake the pursuit of Mystic-Level talents for those treasures.  They hadn't tried to break through to the Saint level earlier simply because they thought they could break the array in a short time, not finding it necessary to rush the breakthrough. But they had not anticipated the emergence of so many golden armored zombie puppets, leading to their miscalculation. Once Sun Xinghe and the other survivors were safe, they would surely try to break through to the Saint level and then return to the hall. "Too bad, your speed in breaking through to the Saint level is a bit slow!" Ye Tian thought to himself. With his Dawn-Level cultiv...

 Chapter 155: Stepping into the Saint Level, Sweeping Everything in Sight! TL: Etude "Would I be able to sweep through all the metallic puppets in that hall if I break through to the Saint level here?" Ye Tian pondered. Although the Saint-level puppet seemed powerful, it was far inferior to the Saint-level powerhouses on the Saint Ranking. It wasn't an invincible Saint-level; otherwise, it could've crossed the void and killed him with a single hand. Typically, a newly advanced Saint-level being would have a body strength of about 100,000 elephant strength. Even with special talents, having an attack power of 1 dragon would be impressive, and that Saint-level zombie puppet was definitely unbeatable for an ordinary Saint-level. But Ye Tian was different. His attack power had reached the strength of 12 dragons. Once he broke through to the Saint level, his body strength would increase tenfold, reaching an incredible 120 dragons! "This space allows Saint-level puppet...
