I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 377 - The Second Holy Blood - Immortal Holy Body


Inside his tent, Qin Tian's fingertips traced the monolith necklace in his palm. The black stone's surface was rough, devoid of any shimmering light.Ever since sealing the spatial passage, this peculiar stone seemed to have exhausted all its vitality. Despite his daily efforts to nourish it with his Heavenly Defense Bloodline, it remained as silent as a dead object, never transmitting any response.“Void—” Qin Tian murmured softly, his gaze as deep as a bottomless cold pool.He recalled the monolith's angry, low warning of “Void enemies” before it sealed the passage—at that time, it must have sensed the void fluctuations deep within the passage to appear and suppress it.The Void Calamity six hundred years ago had left the entire empire on the brink of collapse, and the monolith was the ultimate weapon that ended that catastrophe.A thought became increasingly clear in his mind: the appearance of the Demon Suppression Abyss was precisely one hundred years after the Void Calamity.So, could it be that the remnants of void power breached the spatial barrier between the Demon Suppression Abyss and the universe?Were those regularly opening spatial passages also related to the void?Countless conjectures intertwined in his mind like vines, but they were ultimately just unsubstantiated deductions.Even if the truth were indeed so, what could he, alone, change?The Demon Suppression Abyss Calamity had long surpassed the scope of individual ability, requiring the combined strength of all forces in the Qingmu Star Region to be thoroughly resolved.As for the Void Calamity, that was a disaster that nearly overturned the very foundation of the empire's rule.Had it not been for the discovery of the monolith back then, perhaps today's empire would have long since disintegrated, and even the word “empire” would have vanished without a trace in the long river of history.Qin Tian gently clasped the monolith, its icy touch allowing his chaotic thoughts to settle slightly.For now, perhaps there was no need to rush for answers—some mysteries would only reveal their true contours at the right time.He turned his attention to the system panel. The battle to seal the spatial passage was the most brutal, most difficult, and also the most rewarding campaign he had experienced since entering the Demon Suppression Abyss.In the early stages, he eliminated demons using the Dark Corpse Control Technique. Finally, he detonated thousands of Explosive iron balls, directly creating a blank zone covering tens of kilometers.One must know that the demons were densest at that time. The number of demons killed in this round of Explosion was difficult to count. The entire campaign earned him over 50 million evolution points and hundreds of unique talents.50 million evolution points would not only allow him to strengthen the Great Wilderness Battle Body to the Saint Blood level but also leave 20-30 million evolution points for the flexible allocation of subsequent talents.After leaving the Demon Suppression Abyss and returning to the planet, the commotion of breaking through to the Saint Blood level might attract others' attention. Therefore, Qin Tian decided to complete the evolution of his second golden talent right there, on the first level of the Demon Abyss.As spatial gates continuously opened, Qin Tian returned to the magma sea beneath where the monolith had been located before.This was once a Demon Source, later cleared by the United Army, leaving no Demon Source or the millions of demons behind.Inside the underground lava cave, only the gurgling sound of flowing magma remained.The path beneath his feet was already blocked by collapsed rubble, forcing him to tread precariously on sharp stones.Magma overflowed through the cracks in the passage, forming winding streams on the ground. The crimson light illuminated the mottled rock walls on both sides, making the knife marks and axe prints left by battles appear like bleeding wounds.A faint demonic aura permeated the air, mixed with the smell of sulfur and scorched rock. Inhaling it brought a tingling, burning sensation to his lungs.Occasionally, he could see the skeletons of some demons embedded in the rock walls. Some were only half-skeletons, while others had been burned into black charcoal by the magma, blending with the surrounding rubble, making their original forms indistinguishable.From deep within the lava cave came the rattling sound of loose rocks. A millstone-sized boulder fell from above, crashing into the nearby magma stream, splashing hot droplets that turned into white smoke and dissipated in mid-air.This was once the core of the Demon Source and where the monolith had slumbered. Now, only a desolate ruin remained, with only the lingering demonic aura still testifying to its past as a demon nest.“This is the place.”Qin Tian was quite satisfied with the environment of this underground lava cave. Its hidden terrain was sufficient to block detection, and even if a large commotion was caused during his breakthrough, the troops on the surface would never notice.Furthermore, a breakthrough in this pure physical talent did not require a specific concentration of psionic energy; only a quiet and concealed space was enough.He walked to where the monolith had previously been placed. The stone platform still stood majestically, and the magma beneath his feet flowed slowly like a crimson stream. The rising heat carried an intense temperature, yet it could not disturb his mind in the slightest.Qin Tian sat cross-legged, taking several deep breaths to adjust his state. He lightly traced the air with his fingertips, and the system panel appeared. The nourishment from numerous opportunities and treasures had already brought the Great Wilderness Battle Body talent to a deep orange, just one step away from the orange limit.Recalling the evolution points required when strengthening the Night Emperor Bloodline, his eyes narrowed. With a wave of his hand, he directly invested 20 million evolution points into it.The orange light sphere on the panel suddenly vibrated violently, and fine cracks appeared on its surface, as ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) if something was about to burst forth. The next second, a brilliant golden light erupted from the cracks, spreading rapidly like a prairie fire, instantly dyeing the entire light sphere a pure gold.Just as the evolution points completely merged into the light sphere, a dormant star, as if sleeping for billions of years, exploded within Qin Tian’s body!“Roar—!”A roar that pierced through metal and shattered stone erupted from his throat, not from pain, but from the resonance of heaven and earth as his vital energy surged to its peak.Vast vital energy surged through his meridians like a tsunami. Each circulation carried the mighty power to shatter mountains and crack stones, even condensing into a tangible golden torrent on his body surface, gushing out through his pores!“Boom!”His vital energy rushed straight to the dome of the lava cave, smashing a huge hole through dozens of feet of rock layers. Qin Tian’s body had already transformed into a golden sun. The profound patterns appearing beneath his skin suddenly lit up, like stars blooming with light. These swirling golden patterns intertwined into a chaotic design from the dawn of creation, sometimes transforming into raging primeval beasts, sometimes solidifying into divine bridges spanning star rivers, eventually sinking deep into his flesh and blood, making every inch of his skin glow with a divine golden luster.The “crackling” sounds from his bones were like thunderclaps, not shattering, but undergoing a sacred reshaping.Beneath the pale golden periosteum, countless golden patterns coursed like lightning. His original white bones were tempered like immortal divine gold. His internal organs bloomed with a warm and vast golden light, each pulsation seemingly swallowing and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth.His liver was like a soaring azure dragon, his heart like a burning vermilion bird, his spleen like a dormant yellow kirin, his lungs like a roaring white tiger, and his kidneys like a breathing black tortoise. Amidst the resonance of his five organs, a vast and unstoppable vitality surged through his blood vessels, even his bone marrow glowed with golden light, as if a star was being born and dying within it.The golden light membrane on his body surface suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire lava cave. The scorching magma outside the membrane transformed into gentle streams, while the suspended rubble condensed into a ring of stars orbiting him.His five senses were instantly magnified to an incredible degree, and the subtle changes of all things in heaven and earth were entirely within his grasp.His blood surged like a golden river, each drop of blood containing the power to destroy heaven and earth. As it flowed through his blood vessels, it even projected the illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars onto his body surface.As his blood circulated, an overbearing aura, transcending all things, arose from the depths of his bone marrow, as if all things in heaven and earth had to bow before this aura. Even space rippled subtly, as if fearing this nascent great power.After an unknown period, as the vital energy within his body gradually receded, Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes. A golden light flashed in his eyes, as if the sun and moon rotated within them. With just a glance, the rock walls of the lava cave silently cracked into a spiderweb of fissures.He gently clenched his fist. The moment his knuckles tightened, the surrounding air emitted an unbearable explosive roar, the rubble beside him instantly turned to dust, and even space rippled.Feeling the surging power within him, capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, Qin Tian's lips curved into a satisfied smile.He glanced at the system panel. Two golden light spheres, like twin suns in the sky, stood proudly above the cluster of talents.The name of the new talent appeared before his eyes—Undying Holy Body.
