I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 439 - 373: Networking Expansion, End of War

Chapter 439: Chapter 373: Networking Expansion, End of War

The gate of space thundered open at the Infernal Demon Sea.

Warriors of the United Army marched out in magnificent order, their feet stepping onto the scorching black stone ground, the familiar intense heat rushing towards them.

This land, once a battlefield where they fought with blood and sweat, now seemed like a warm harbor.

The tense nerves of the warriors instantly relaxed; some took off their heavy armor, letting the scorching air bake their weary bodies; some collapsed directly on the ground, sprawling with limbs spread wide on the hot rocks, even their breathing carried the laziness of survivors; others looked at the distant roiling lava river with smiles unconsciously rising at their lips—being alive was good.

After the hellish slaughter in the Dark Demon Realm, wounded soldiers could be seen everywhere in the ranks.

Warriors with severed limbs leaned against their companions’ shoulders, the hands covering their wounds soaked in blood; soldiers scorched by Shadow Energy had charred skin, occasionally letting out painful groans.

The medical corps and healing Spiritualists immediately sprang into action, the healing radiance flowing among the crowd like early spring rain nourishing dry land.

After Qin Tian recovered part of his Spiritual Energy, he quickly joined the ranks of rescuers.

Thinking back to the fierce battle a moment ago, he couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.

At that time, he had to manipulate shadow to massacre demons and maintain the “Eternal Night Dominator” to suppress the entire field, making it difficult to protect his warriors as he had before.

The casualties in the Chijin Battlegroup reached their peak since its formation: 13 members of the Barbarian Army were sacrificed, 47 were seriously injured; the casualty numbers in other battalions were equally heartbreaking.

Moreover, due to his special nature, the United Army took particular care of the Chijin Battlegroup, positioning them closer to the center of the United Army’s formations, otherwise, the casualties might have multiplied.

Wherever the green light shone, hideous wounds healed swiftly, fresh buds grew at places of severed limbs, and the socket dug out by claws showed a fleshy hue.

While treating the injured, Qin Tian glanced across the various medical points, his gaze finally resting on Dongfang Yu.

As the most renowned healing Holy Blood within the Empire, Dongfang Yu’s Power of Qingmu was now blooming with dazzling brilliance.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the clearing, a sacred green aura swirling around him, that glow flowing as if alive, working miracles wherever it passed.

A warrior with a severed arm was brushed by the green light, and from the wound sprouted green buds, which in a blink of an eye transformed into a perfectly intact arm, its fingernails’ patterns clearly visible; soldiers eroded by the lich’s curse had their black tendrils on the skin retreat swiftly in the Azure Wood Light, their pale cheeks regaining a rosy hue; even a dying old soldier, enveloped by the aura, suddenly opened his eyes, coughed up a mouthful of black clotted blood, and could surprisingly prop himself up slowly.

This power not only healed injuries but also had an invigorating effect.

Uninjured warriors basking in the green glow felt the fatigue accumulated over days retreating like the tide, their once-heavy bodies feeling light, and their eyes regaining their luster, as if they had just slept a peaceful sleep.

Dongfang Yu sat among them, his eyes slightly closed, the blue runes on his forehead flickering intermittently.

His breaths perfectly synchronized with the pulse of the Azure Wood Light, each inhalation and exhalation awakening more Life Energy from deep within the earth to channel into the injured.

He was like a sacred tree rooted in the Infernal Demon Sea, nurturing every person in the vicinity with a continuous outpouring of life force.

“Truly worthy of the Qingmu Holy Blood.”

Qin Tian marveled silently, recognizing that compared to him as the Sovereign of the Verdant Wilds, the healing ability of the Qingmu Holy Blood was at least two levels superior; if Dongfang Yu hadn’t expended so much in the earlier battle, he might have healed the entire United Army single-handedly.

The treatment of the wounded continued for a period, and when all the injured had recovered, the United Army rested where they stood, harboring a tense and expectant mood, awaiting news from other battle zones.

“Captain Qin Tian.”

A clear voice came from behind, and as Qin Tian turned around, he saw Dongfang Yu quickly walking towards the Chijin Battlegroup.

Initially, he was accompanied by a dozen Golden Level geniuses, and when everyone realized his target was the Chijin Battlegroup, many battlegroup captains started moving their steps, converging in his direction, forming an informal small circle by the magma riverbank.

“Captain Dongfang.”

Qin Tian went forward to greet him.

A warm smile spread across Dongfang Yu’s face: “Captain Qin Tian, thank you for your hard work in the last battle. Without you, this mission wouldn’t have been completed smoothly, and it would have been challenging for all of us to leave the Dark Demon Realm.”

Standing before Qin Tian, the wrinkles on his azure robe yet to be smoothed out, he exuded a gentle and refined demeanor similar to that of Qin Tian’s friend Dongfang Mingyu. Yet, the composed and dignified manner of direct Holy Blood lineage, along with the calm and commanding aura he displayed in fierce battles, was something the side-branch Dongfang Mingyu lacked.

Qin Tian said earnestly, “The successful completion of this mission was a result of everyone working together with one heart. Like everyone else, I merely did what I could. Even without me, the Military Department’s assembling of forces from multiple battle zones would ultimately seal that passage.”

His tone was modest, but everyone present was well aware.

Everyone understood that if the fight in the Dark Demon Realm had not been swiftly resolved, allowing the spatial passage to continue expanding, countless demons would have surged out of the Demon Abyss.

By that time, even if the passage was ultimately sealed, the cost would inevitably be a hundred or even a thousand times greater than it was now.
