I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 759 - 537: Demon’s Power, Crisis on All Fronts (Part 2)
Amidst heaven and earth, only the sound of the howling wind and snow remained.
The entire crowd was silent.
The soldiers on the city wall stared, eyes wide, mouths slightly agape, filled with an incredulous shock. Even Zhou Ziming, who had been standing next to Qin Tian with a calm expression, now showed intense fluctuations in his eyes.
He had witnessed Qin Tian defeat the Tier Seven Beastman Royal Family member Unol in battle, but a one-on-one duel and slaughtering tens of thousands of snow beasts with a single glance were entirely different in their visual impact.
At this moment, he realized even more profoundly the terrifying nature of Qin Tian.
“Long live the Military Lord!”
“The Military Lord is invincible!”
Deafening cheers suddenly erupted, sweeping like a tidal wave.
The soldiers raised their weapons high, their cheeks flushed red, eyes filled with near fanatical admiration when looking at Qin Tian.
This was their Military Lord!
A pillar of Ice Extreme Pass, their eternal guardian god!
Shua—
A streak of black and purple light flashed through as Kazik instantly appeared beside Qin Tian.
It discontentedly waved its scythe-like blades, emitting a hissing sound from its mouthparts, clearly annoyed that the battle hadn’t been as satisfying because Qin Tian had seized its prey.
It felt very unhappy right now.
Qin Tian chuckled, raising a hand to stroke its cold, armored head: “Alright, what’s the rush? There will be plenty of battles. I will transport you to other battlefields later to ensure you can kill to your heart’s content.”
Hearing this, Kazik finally settled down.
Elsewhere, Karsas was slowly floating above the snow beast corpse pile, flipping the Soul Scripture with its fingers. A faint, eerie green glow surrounded it, drawing all the soul fragments that had not yet dissipated into the Soul Scripture, tirelessly gathering “fresh materials” for its army of the dead.
“Master is really considerate~” Karsas mused.
Earlier, Qin Tian had used the core ability of the Eye of Fear—Demon’s Power
This was a pure area-wide spiritual shock, similar in effect to the Conqueror’s Haki, able to intimidate opponents with spiritual pressure while evoking the deepest fears in their hearts.
However, when the spiritual power gap between both sides reaches an overwhelming level, Demon’s Power doesn’t just cause fainting and fear but instead inflicts fatal soul-shattering damage!
Now Qin Tian was a Tier Seven Spiritualist, having overcome what’s considered the most terrifying Heart Demon Tribulation in history, and possessing the Orange Talent [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority]. With such strength in spiritual power, even veteran Tier Seven soul-cultivating experts might not match him.
Such terrifying spiritual depth, even when using the Purple Talent [Eye of Fear], could crush this group of snow beasts with a maximum combat power of merely Tier Six.
Moreover, Qin Tian’s choice to kill with Demon’s Power had two advantages.
Firstly, it preserved the integrity of the snow beast corpses to the maximum extent.
These snow beast corpses were all strategic resources—their blood could refine ice-type potions, hides create winter armor, bones were prime materials for making weapons, and the snow core inside them was the core energy for driving ice-type machinery.
If electric and fiery methods were used instead, these snow beasts would have already turned to ashes, leaving nothing useful behind.
Therefore, with a better solution available, Qin Tian naturally aimed to generate more income for Ice Extreme Pass.
Secondly, it leveraged the advantage of killing with spiritual power.
The souls erased by this force wouldn’t immediately dissipate but would instead turn into high-purity soul fragments, lingering in the world for a short time.
This gave Karsas enough time to harvest these fragments, providing a constant supply of nourishment to grow the army of the dead.
Qin Tian glanced at the lingering shock in Zhou Ziming’s eyes, a faint smile gracing his lips before his gaze turned to the distant tide of snow beasts approaching.
With the first wave resolved, might as well handle the second wave of snow beasts since it was on the way.
In a flash of silver light, Qin Tian’s figure vanished instantly.
The next moment, he stood high in the skies several kilometers away.
The howling wind and snow automatically parted around him, unable to approach even slightly
Below, the second wave of snow beasts was surging forward.
The snow beasts roared as they charged towards Satellite City No. 5, oblivious to the figure high above them
Qin Tian’s expression remained calm as he employed the same technique, his eyes suddenly bursting with brilliant purple light. Terrifying spiritual pressure cascaded down like an invisible tsunami!
Suddenly, the forward momentum of the snow beast tide halted abruptly, all the snow beasts frozen in place, the frenzy in their eyes swiftly replaced with deathly stillness.
The next second, thousands of snow beasts toppled like wheat under an invisible scythe, collapsing silently, the wasteland quickly covered with the dense bodies of the beasts.
In his mind, notifications of Evolution Points skyrocketing echoed, with a series of faint Talent Light Spheres automatically flying into his body, swiftly discarded by Qin Tian into the Talent Recycling Station.
He raised his hand, and a silver Gate of Space quickly formed beside him.
Karsas’s figure floated out from behind the gate, and upon seeing the bodies of snow beasts and the drifting soul fragments below, a gleeful expression appeared on its gaunt face. Without saying a word, it eagerly flew downwards, impatiently beginning to reap the drifting soul fragments.
The crisis at Satellite City No. 5 was resolved
Qin Tian raised his hand, conjuring several ice mirrors out of thin air
Immediately, the Mirror Demon’s figure appeared within the ice mirrors, clearly having grown significantly since the initial appearance, with eyes now filled with more vitality.
The strength of the Mirror Demon was closely tied to its Lifebound Mirror Artifact.
Qin Tian’s Lifebound Mirror Artifact was originally cultivated for years by Beitiao Hezi, possessing quite high quality. Following its enhancement with the Power of the Martial Immortal, the quality of the mirror improved several levels, allowing the Mirror Demon to grow rapidly, now fully comparable to Beitiao Hezi’s Mirror Demon.
“Mirror Demon, display the real-time situation of Satellite City No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3,” Qin Tian ordered.
The Mirror Demon paused slightly, nodding respectfully.
The next second, the surface of the three ice mirrors hovering in the air rippled like water, followed by the clear appearance of the real-time scenes of each satellite city. Amidst the shifting light and shadows, the battlefield’s slaughter and clamor seemed to penetrate the ice mirrors, faintly resonating in the ears.
In the first ice mirror, the battlefield at Satellite City No. 1 was nearing conclusion.
The corpses of snow beasts had long piled up like mountains outside the city, while the secondary regiment stationed there methodically cleaned the battlefield.
The scene in the second ice mirror was far more intense.
Outside Satellite City No. 2, Xiong and Terreda took the lead, with the Divine Weapon Domain already deployed around them.
Within the domain of the blood-red giant axe, dark red shockwaves rolled while countless shadows of blood beasts roared and darted, and any snow beast stepping into it would be torn apart by an invisible force.
Terreda’s Zhanshou saber Domain swirled with chilling deathly aura, the bandage-bound spirit of the weapon drifting within the domain. Each flash of blade light was accompanied by the fall of snow beasts.
The two appeared like unstoppable gods of death, leading the Barbarian Race unit and the first regiment’s soldiers in a ferocious charge, cutting down snow beasts like grass, unable to mount effective resistance, the size of the beast tide shrinking visibly.
In the third ice mirror, the battle at Satellite City No. 3 also seemed optimistic, but with distinctly different tactics.
Xu Wuyang truly lived up to the wealth of experience from years of military service; instead of leading the charge like Xiong and Terreda, he positioned himself at the core of the battlefield, skillfully maneuvering the troops with precise judgment.
Defense Soldiers formed tight formations to steadily resist the snow beasts’ assaults, while Spear Warriors hid behind the shield array, striking precisely like snakes; the Mage team formed a firepower net at the rear, constantly performing long-range suppression.
A portion of elite warriors formed an assault team under the lead of Old Ghost, targeting weak points in the beast tide for surgical insertion and division.
The entire team operated like precisely interlocking gears, each strike executed with precision and efficiency, devoid of any superfluous motions.
Qin Tian scanned the three ice mirrors, and judging by the current situation, the battles in Satellite City No. 2 and No. 3 would also conclude in a short time.
Retracting his gaze from the ice mirrors, Qin Tian was preparing to order the consolidation of resources from various battlefields and address post-battle affairs, when his wrist communicator sounded an urgent “beep beep”.
“Military Lord! Emergency situation!” The communicator’s voice, clearly filled with anxiety, came through, “Apart from the four satellite cities already supported, the remaining four satellite cities—No. 4, 6, 7, and 8—all simultaneously transmitted distress signals for snow beast assaults, with each city facing numbers exceeding ten thousand heads!”
Hearing this, Qin Tian’s previously calm expression slightly tensed, with a faint frown appearing on his brow.
