I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 248 - Thunder destroys the ghost Jella awakens (two in one)


A sixth-tier, nine-star expert, this individual was extremely close to the seventh tier. Although the 'Ghost's' bloodline level might not have reached Gold-level, it was definitely at Silver-level.Zhuge Yu's expression was solemn. The explosive power of a sixth-tier, nine-star expert was enough to pierce through anyone's defensive limits; even Yue Shenghe, with his strongest physical body, couldn't withstand a single move from the 'Ghost'.If it weren't for Marquis Wu's Eight Trigrams Formation combining everyone's power, they would have been individually defeated by the 'Ghost' by now.However, the situation remained grim for them.The 'Ghost' was not only powerful himself, but he could also summon a sixth-tier Nine Nether Ghost King and countless lesser ghosts.The Ghost King and lesser ghosts continuously assaulted the various formation eyes of the Eight Trigrams Formation. If they couldn't launch an effective counterattack, the Eight Trigrams Formation would eventually be breached.Seeing the Nine Nether Ghost King's black flame breath blocked, a chilling glint flashed in the 'Ghost's' eyes. He let out a low roar, clasped his hands together, and uttered a chilling incantation: "Ten Thousand Ghosts Weep and Wail!"In an instant, countless shrill screams echoed between heaven and earth, and an invisible mental shockwave swept over them like a monstrous tide.This was no ordinary attack, but a terrifying killing move that directly targeted the soul. Once hit, it would lead to mental collapse at best, and soul dispersion at worst!"It's a mental attack!" Zhuge Yu's pupils constricted. He immediately transmitted an order through the Mind Net: "Shangguan Lei, activate Mind Net fully, construct a mental barrier!""Understood!" Shangguan Lei's eyes were tightly shut, veins bulging on his forehead. The originally invisible Mind Net suddenly solidified, transforming into a translucent mental barrier that enveloped everyone!"Mind Net: Soul Guard!"Boom—!!!The impact of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Weep and Wail slammed hard against the mental barrier. Everyone's minds felt as if struck by lightning, and their faces instantly turned pale. But Shangguan Lei gritted his teeth, enduring this wave of impact head-on!101 Reading 101 kan.com Full manual no error siteHowever, before they could catch their breath, the massive shadow of the Ghost King was already closing in again! Its sky-obscuring ghost hand was raised high, carrying destructive might, and it slammed down fiercely towards the Eight Trigrams Formation!Zhuge Yu's heart sank. He immediately adjusted the formation: "Yue Shenghe, Death Gate for main defense, everyone pour in your spiritual power!""Leave it to me!" Yue Shenghe roared, his muscles bulging, and the dark golden patterns reappeared. Everyone's remaining spiritual power surged madly into his body, temporarily boosting his aura to its limit!"Panlong Indestructible—Hold it for me!!"Boom—!!!The ghost hand struck heavily, and a violent shockwave swept in all directions, cracking the ground inch by inch! Yue Shenghe's legs sank deep into the earth, his arm muscles bulging, as he forcefully withstood this world-destroying blow!But blood was already spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating he was under immense pressure!"Now!" Zhuge Yu shouted, "Fu Ning, Life Gate transforms into sword!"The Eight Trigrams Formation instantly rotated, and all spiritual power, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surged madly into Fu Ning's body! His sword edge emitted dazzling golden light, and an extremely sharp sword intent soared into the sky!"Heavenly Sword—Slay Demon!"Clang—!A brilliant sword light streaked across the sky, like a heavenly punishment descending, instantly piercing through the Ghost King's massive body! The Ghost King let out a mournful wail, its body disintegrating inch by inch, finally dissolving into a sky full of black mist!With the combined power of sixteen top-tier geniuses, a single sword strike slew the Ghost King."We succeeded!" Everyone's spirits lifted.However, before they could catch their breath, Zhuge Yu's face suddenly turned pale—everyone's aura was rapidly declining! Forcibly activating power beyond their own limits came at the cost of nearly exhausted spiritual energy!The 'Ghost' stood in the distance, a slow smile forming beneath his mask: "Not bad, you actually managed to slay my Ghost King—but do you still have any strength left?"He slowly raised his hand, and his chilling voice echoed through heaven and earth: "Then, how will you deal with the second Ghost King?"Rumble—!The earth trembled again, and the figure of the second Ghost King was slowly crawling out of the void.What!Seeing this, everyone's faces instantly turned pale, and despair appeared in the eyes of many."Shock Word Secret—Life Force Circulation..."Zhuge Yu's hands suddenly formed a seal, and a emerald green spiritual pattern burst forth from his fingers, instantly spreading like vines throughout the entire grand formation. His eyes gleamed brightly as he shouted:"With the earth's ley lines as a guide, all things live and breathe, turn!"Boom—!A dull roar came from deep within the earth. Countless glittering green light spots rose from the cracked ground, surging into everyone's bodies like starlight. The originally depleted meridians, nourished by this pure life force, began to Quick Recovery."This is... Earth Vein Spiritual Energy?" Fu Ning looked in shock at the emerald light entwining his sword edge. The once dim Heavenly Sword once again radiated sharp sword intent.Everyone's eyes lit up, and their fighting spirit was rekindled.The 'Ghost's' figure swayed slightly in the distance, and his brow furrowed again beneath the mask: "The Zhuge family's Shock Word Secret?"Boom!The second Ghost King had fully materialized.This Ghost King was entirely purplish-black, with a single horn on its forehead, and suffocating netherworld flames entwined its body. It roared to the sky, and the entire ruins of Shuiyue New City trembled from the sound waves."It's useless." The 'Ghost' slowly raised his hand, "Netherworld Ghost King, tear them apart."Boom!The moment the Ghost King took a step, the ground within a hundred zhang simultaneously sank. It swung its giant claw, entwined with chains, and slammed it towards the grand formation with the force of crushing mountains and breaking peaks.This attack was several times more terrifying than before!"Yue Shenghe!""Understood!"Yue Shenghe, with 70% of his spiritual power recovered, charged forward again, pushing his Panlong Battle Body to the extreme. At the moment of impact, his arm bones emitted a brittle crack under the unbearable pressure, but he forcefully withstood this fatal blow."Now!" Zhuge Yu's eyes flashed with determination: "Fu Ning, Heavenly Sword Triple Stack! Shangguan Lei, Mind Net Soul Lock! Wu Ziyan, Heavenly Fire Incineration!"Three killing moves erupted simultaneously!Fu Ning's Heavenly Sword transformed into three intersecting rays of rainbow light, Shangguan Lei's Mind Net tightly bound the Ghost King's movements, and Wu Ziyan waved her staff, as countless star-like fires fell from the sky.Rumble—!The second Ghost King disintegrated amidst the brilliant sword light and raging flames.But this time, before the ghost mist could dissipate, the 'Ghost's' figure appeared like a phantom above the grand formation.In his hand was a bone blade entwined with vengeful spirits, its blade pointed directly at Zhuge Yu, the core of the formation."It's over."The moment the bone blade struck, the light barrier of the entire Eight Trigrams Formation... developed fine cracks!At the same time, countless lesser ghosts surged towards the Eight Trigrams Formation like a tide, making the formation even more unbearable and on the verge of collapse.Pfft~As the core of the Eight Trigrams Formation, Zhuge Yu bore the greatest pressure among everyone, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.The 'Ghost's' strength was too great. Not only was he a sixth-tier, nine-star expert himself, but he also summoned two great sixth-tier Ghost Kings. This meant they were fighting against three sixth-tier experts, and being able to hold on until now was already a miracle.Seeing Zhuge Yu's pale face and spitting blood, everyone's hearts sank again. If Zhuge Yu couldn't hold on, they wouldn't be able to withstand the 'Ghost's' furious assault at all.Just as everyone was beginning to despair, suddenly, a dark purple light illuminated the sky above, and thunderclouds gathered, followed by...Boom, boom, boom!!!Tens of thousands of purple lightning bolts struck down like an enraged deity, each bolt precisely hitting the surging ghost tide.The dazzling lightning illuminated the entire world as if it were daytime. The writhing lesser ghosts let out mournful wails in the purple lightning, instantly turning to ashes!"This is... Destruction Heavenly Lightning?"Zhuge Yu suddenly looked up. Could it be that Lei Yao wasn't dead yet?No, this didn't resemble Lei Yao's Destruction Heavenly Lightning.Compared to Destruction Heavenly Lightning, the lightning before them was extremely rigid and pure yang, carrying a righteous aura, and had immense destructive power against ghosts. These were not characteristics possessed by Destruction Heavenly Lightning.Who was he?Amidst the sky full of lightning, the slender figure ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) stood in the air, his body entwined with violent purple lightning, and a pair of dark black wings slowly unfurled behind him, like a demon king descending upon the human world.The iconic Black Crow mask on his face reflected a cold metallic sheen under the lightning, appearing mysterious and dangerous."Black Crow!""It's actually him!"On the ground, everyone's eyes were filled with shock, almost unable to believe their own eyes. This person, whom they had always regarded as insidious, cunning, and only capable of underhanded tactics, would actually step forward at a life-or-death moment!The 'Ghost' suddenly retreated dozens of zhang, his gaze beneath the mask extremely gloomy. He stared intently at the figure in the sky, his voice hoarse: "You... seek death!"Those lesser ghosts were cultivated by him with countless efforts, yet now they were all annihilated by a single strike from the opponent. This loss simply made his heart bleed!Qin Tian ignored the 'Ghost's' anger. He lowered his head slightly, overlooking the ruined streets below.Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning—it could cause 1000% additional damage to dark-type enemies such as evil spirits, demonic creatures, and specters!That strike just now had directly shattered the souls of ghost creatures below the fifth tier, and even fifth-tier ghost generals had turned to ashes in the lightning.If it weren't for the 'Ghost's' own formidable strength, he would probably have suffered a great loss!Without pausing, Qin Tian raised his hand again—Green Field Monarch: Life Domain!Whoosh—!Brilliant green light suddenly spread out from him as the center, instantly enveloping the entire ruined city!The earth trembled, and countless surviving plants and spiritual plants seemed to respond to a summons, swaying in reply.Strands of pure life energy rose from within them, gathering towards Qin Tian like fireflies, and then precisely guided by him into the Eight Trigrams Formation below!"This is..." Zhuge Yu's pupils constricted.The next second, surging life energy burst forth within everyone's bodies!Their nearly exhausted spiritual energy began to recover madly!Their weary bodies were re-filled with strength!Their sluggish mental power also surged back like a tide!"Hahaha! So refreshing!" Yue Shenghe laughed loudly, then suddenly straightened his body, his muscles bulging, and the dark golden patterns reappeared, his aura even stronger by three points than at his peak!Fu Ning gripped the long sword in his hand, the golden light on the blade growing even brighter, and his sharp sword intent soared into the clouds!Shangguan Lei's mental power also returned to its peak, and the Mind Net expanded again, perfectly connecting everyone's states!The 'Ghost's' face completely changed.He never expected that this 'Black Crow', who had always been hiding in the shadows, would possess such terrifying auxiliary abilities!"You seek death!"The 'Ghost' roared in fury, black mist surged wildly around him, and the terrifying aura of a sixth-tier, nine-star expert fully erupted! He suddenly raised his hand, and endless ghostly energy condensed in the void, instantly forming a sky-obscuring ghostly hand!The giant hand was entirely black, and the patterns on its palm resembled thousands of resentful souls wailing. Just the oppressive aura it emitted caused the entire Eight Trigrams Formation to tremble violently!"Die!"The 'Ghost' roared, and the ghost hand slammed towards the sky!The terrifying oppressive force distorted space itself. If this strike landed, no one would survive!On the ground, everyone's pupils constricted, their hearts almost stopping!"Black Crow, be careful!" Wu Ziyan cried out.However—Just a moment before the ghost hand was about to strike Qin Tian, he suddenly shifted his body, his black wings flapped violently, and his entire being transformed into a bolt of lightning...He ran away!???Everyone was instantly stunned!Even the 'Ghost' was momentarily taken aback, clearly not expecting the opponent to simply flee, and at such speed."As expected of him."Everyone's mouths twitched."Bastard!!"The 'Ghost' was utterly enraged. The ghost hand suddenly changed direction, slamming fiercely in the direction Qin Tian had fled!Boom—!!!The earth cracked, and dust soared into the sky!However, Qin Tian's speed was extremely fast. In a flash of lightning, he had already rushed out of the attack range, and even turned back to provocatively hook his finger, a casual voice sounding out."That's it?"Everyone:This move... was too flashy, wasn't it?!Zhuge Yu's eye twitched fiercely, but he quickly reacted, roaring: "Don't just stand there! Now, regroup the formation!"Only then did everyone come to their senses, quickly adjusting their formation. The 'Ghost's' face was grim. He now faced two choices: either chase after that disgusting Black Crow, or continue attacking the geniuses in the Eight Trigrams Formation.Without much hesitation, the 'Ghost' chose the latter.As long as the geniuses died, that disgusting fellow would eventually die by his hand.A ruthless glint flashed in the 'Ghost's' eyes. His figure suddenly flickered, directly abandoning the pursuit of Qin Tian, and instead charged furiously towards the Eight Trigrams Formation!"I'll kill you first!"He suddenly swept his hands, and ghostly energy surged around him, instantly condensing dozens of black, soul-like ghost claws, each one emitting a suffocating oppressive force!"Not good! Full defense!" Zhuge Yu roared.Boom! Boom! Boom!The ghost claws pounded on the Eight Trigrams Formation like a torrential rain. The light barrier trembled violently, and cracks spread at a visible speed!"Pfft—"Yue Shenghe bore the brunt, blood spilling from his mouth, but he still gritted his teeth, his arm muscles bulging, as he forcefully withstood the impact!Fu Ning's sword edge danced wildly, cutting down streams of ghostly energy, but his arms were already trembling slightly!Zhongli Ying's face was pale, and the light of the Life Gate flickered erratically!The formation was on the verge of collapse!However—just as everyone was about to collapse, strands of emerald green life energy once again converged from all directions, continuously pouring into their bodies!"It's Black Crow's Life Domain!" Shangguan Lei's spirit lifted.This pure life force rapidly healed their injuries and replenished their consumed spiritual energy, allowing them to barely maintain the formation!Seeing this, the 'Ghost's' killing intent intensified: "Dying struggles!"He suddenly raised his hand, and a pitch-black long spear condensed in his palm, its tip entwined with a heart-palpitating aura of death!"Netherworld Extinction Spear!"Just as the Extinction Spear was about to be thrown by the 'Ghost', suddenly, his pupils constricted, and ghostly energy condensed into a shield.Bang!A bullet crackling with electricity struck the shield, spinning rapidly like a drill, almost piercing through the shield.The 'Ghost' suddenly turned his head, and saw that figure that made him grit his teeth again—Black Crow was standing on the ruins thousands of meters away, holding a strangely shaped black gun.In this brief interval, the geniuses also caught their breath slightly, looking at Qin Tian with surprise and joy.It was Black Crow again, restraining the enemy at a crucial moment.Qin Tian quickly put away his gun and disappeared into the shadows, his expression still grim.The situation remained grim. Everyone could barely protect themselves now, but prolonged struggle would inevitably lead to failure. The slightest flaw would cause an instant collapse.What to do?What other methods were there?Qin Tian's mind raced, but in the face of absolute strength, he truly had no way to break the stalemate.Just then, a familiar consciousness suddenly entered his mind.Qin Tian's body stiffened, and a strong look of surprise appeared in his eyes.After absorbing a massive amount of wood-element crystals and Purple Crystal Paulownia energy, Jiela had finally successfully evolved!
