My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 400 Li Ye, an Ordinary Person
The previous fair trade was robbery, but the victims did not suffer.

After all, the idea that money could change their fate forced them to agree to Li Ye's conditions against their will;

This fair trade was also a form of robbery, but Erebus suffered comprehensive suppression, being tormented both physically and mentally.

But doing so also has its advantages; at least Li Ye won't suffer the consequences of his actions.

Li Ye didn't care about minor backlashes at all, but who would risk being attacked by backlashes if they could safely steal someone else's skills?
What if small causes and effects accumulate into a huge disaster?

This way is much safer.

Win-win!

"Erebus, are you willing to compete with me to see who is stronger?" Seeing the suffering Erebus, Li Ye began a new round of plunder.

This was his first time plundering a super big shot, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment. Erebus was a big shot on par with Gaia, one of the creator gods in Greek mythology.

“I’m willing, but could you please stop cutting my flesh first?” Erebus said. A person who was born without pain suddenly experiencing pain was completely unable to bear it.

You lost!
A voice echoed in Li Ye's mind, and he sighed silently in his heart. Sure enough, his strength was still somewhat inferior to that of these veteran gods!

However, having seized Erebus's skills this time, he should be able to quickly close the gap in strength with gods like Gaia.

at the same time.

Li Ye stole Erebus's second skill—the Blade of No Light, which allows him to create countless dark blades in the Dark Realm.

“Erebus, I’ve already stopped!” Li Ye said.

“Don’t cut those pieces of me on the chopping board anymore, they are also my body,” Erebus said.

"Alright!" Li Ye already knew that the fragment was connected to the fragment of Erebus, but in order to better seize Erebus's skills, he still stopped cooking. "Then let's have the next match!"

“You have taken away two of my powerful abilities…” Erebus was about to refuse when an unbearable pain suddenly came. It was Li Ye’s clone that cut off a large chunk of flesh from his body. He decisively chose to admit defeat, “Fine, let’s compete.”

Better to die than live.

He is immortal. As long as he lives, once he finds Nyx and Nyx defeats Li Ye, the power of darkness will still be his.

"Let's compare who was born earlier?" Li Ye continued. The sage wouldn't pay attention to him for no reason, and fair trade was also a kind of exploration skill related to fate. He wanted to try to dig into his own background. What if he was the reincarnation of some great being?

You lost!
The results of the competition were announced soon.

Li Ye lost the match but gained a new skill from Erebus – Styx Projection.

Then, Li Ye proposed a new contest: "Erebus, let's see who has been reincarnated the most times!"

The ears of Yanshou Xingjun and the others perked up simultaneously. Li Ye's behavior was so abnormal that they also wanted to know if this guy was a reincarnation of a great being.

If so, they would feel a little better.

Throughout history, many powerful beings have been reincarnated and risen to high positions, and those who followed them all ascended to heaven.

Reincarnated powerful beings share a common characteristic: their cultivation level increases extremely quickly, and they have a large group of helpers behind them, which fits Li Ye's current situation perfectly.

draw!

Li Ye's match against others ended in a rare draw, and for the first time, he did not gain any skills.

Erebus and Li Ye were both stunned; they had received the same information.

Neither of them was a reincarnation.

At that moment, Erebus suddenly felt a great fear welling up from the depths of his heart. As the god of darkness, he possessed many incredible abilities, and he could naturally see that the person in front of him was only in his forties.

He wasn't a reincarnation of a powerful being; he was just an ordinary person who grew to the point of being able to suppress him in a few decades. How terrifying must this guy be?
He's even more powerful than those Eastern sages!
So, what exactly is his identity?
Who trained him?
Is he truly the chosen one?
However, throughout history, which of the trendsetters of fate did not have a powerful background?

How many of them actually rose to high positions through their own efforts?
Even those famous sages in the East benefited from their noble births… Li Ye had obviously thought of this as well, and continued to ask, “Erebus, we have a better background than anyone else?”

Erebus nodded.

Followed by.

A voice echoed in Li Ye's mind: You lost!

Won?

Erebus grew increasingly fearful.

Even his background is inferior to his; is he really an ordinary person?
If the sages of the East could cultivate an ordinary person into such a powerful being in just a few decades, would there still be room for these ancient gods to survive in the future?

Abyss Embrace - Li Ye has gained a new skill.

This skill allows you to use dark tentacles to entangle an enemy, taking their life and merging their soul into the darkness, making them your nourishment.

At this point, Li Ye was no longer concerned about the skills he had obtained from Erebus.

He is not a reincarnation of a powerful being, and there is no problem with his background.

In other words, everything he currently possesses was earned through his own near-death experiences.

Ah!
Li Ye let out a cold laugh in his heart. Since it was the fruit of his own hard work, no one should covet anything of his.

Even a saint couldn't do it!
“Erebus, shall we now compete to see who is closer to becoming a saint?” Li Ye continued to ask.

The challenges he proposed became increasingly arrogant.

The Star Lord of Longevity stared blankly at the crazed Li Ye, holding his breath. No one dared to disturb him. Their minds raced as they speculated about Li Ye's origins and purpose, while also considering their own future.

You win.

The fair trade yielded an unexpected result for Li Ye. He never imagined that Erebus, whose strength surpassed his own, would lose to him in a contest against a saint.

Erebus shuddered violently: "How is this possible? How could you possibly be closer to a saint than I am?"

Li Ye looked at Erebus, smiled, and did not answer him.

The ambiguity arose from the question he posed regarding the competition.

He survived the tribulation of becoming a saint and mastered derivative skills that allowed him to steal others' abilities, while Erebus had not found a way to become a saint for so long.

Clearly, he had a better chance of becoming a saint than Erebus.

Or perhaps, the path of these Western gods was wrong from the very beginning, and these deities born from the universe may never have been able to become saints.

The Star Lord of Longevity looked at Li Ye in disbelief, recalling what he had said about surviving the tribulation of a saint.

At this moment, everyone, including Zhang Tianshi's soul, was filled with speculation. Perhaps this guy in front of them really could become a saint.

Even though he might be the most eccentric saint, he is still a saint!
It might not be too late to start trying to please him now!
Suddenly, everyone present looked at Li Ye with burning eyes.

But then, Li Ye's new match with Erebus immediately dampened their enthusiasm.

“Erebus, if the two of us fight against the Primordial Celestial at the same time, who has a higher chance of winning?” Li Ye asked.

Erebus has no face and no expression.

But the features of Yanshou Xingjun and the others were already distorted. They dared not breathe and stared at Li Ye in disbelief. Everyone was dumbfounded!
Why would he ask that question?
Is he crazy?

Could it be that he wants to fight against a saint?
