I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Tremendous Power Boost, Entering Silver Moon Lake

Under the night sky, the moonlight bathed the earth.

The Tree God stood silently in the Royal Sacred Land, its emerald branches stretched widely like a canopy obscuring the sky. Liquid moonlight flowed across the leaves, gathering at a hundred meters above the ground into a silver-blue light cascade, which poured down along the gnarled tree trunk into the lake, thus giving rise to the name Silver Moon Lake.

The lake’s surface resembled a giant silver mirror, lying quietly in the embrace of the earth. A gentle breeze stirred the water, causing ripples that made the reflected moonlight and stars sway beautifully, like countless sparkling shards of silver dancing in the water.

Occasionally, a fish leapt out of the water, breaking the tranquility with a splash. The water droplets, glistening like scattered pearls under the moonlight, quickly merged back into the lake, leaving behind widening circles of ripples.

"Qin Tian, this is Silver Moon Lake."

Alan brought Qin Tian to the edge of Silver Moon Lake, smiled, and said:

"Remember I once told you that before you, two other people had entered Silver Moon Lake."

Qin Tian was curious and couldn’t help but ask:

"Who were those two people?"

Alan: "Both were from the Dongfang Clan. One was severely injured and used Silver Moon Lake for recuperation. The other was from the younger generation of the Dongfang Clan, who came here two years ago, probably called Dongfang Haoyue."

Dongfang Haoyue

Qin Tian committed this name to memory.

The Dongfang Clan was full of talents, with many outstanding young individuals, yet only one could enter Silver Moon Lake, indicating his high status within the clan.

"What did he come to Silver Moon Lake for?" Qin Tian asked.

Alan shook his head, "I’m not sure either. At that time, Silver Moon Lake was sealed off, so even I couldn’t enter. However, I think it must be related to cultivation, since I indeed felt a very strong aura fluctuation then."

"But it was strange."

Alan furrowed his brow slightly, "I remember that aura being quite different from the Dongfang Clan’s aura."

"I’ve had contact with a few people from the Dongfang Clan. They excel in Wood Spiritual Energy, somewhat resembling the Life Mages of our Elf Race but much stronger in combat. Overall, their aura is more peaceful and full of vitality, yet that person’s aura..."

"Hmm, it was very domineering, like a waking dragon, so I said he was strange."

"Forget it, the Dongfang Clan doesn’t have much to do with you anyway."

Alan said, "You should cultivate here. No one will bother you. Once the curse is expelled, you must let me know immediately."

"Yes, I will." Qin Tian nodded.

"Then I’ll take my leave first."

Alan waved his hand and then stepped away, disappearing from Qin Tian’s sight.

After Alan left, Qin Tian placed the wooden box containing the Purifying Spirit Tree Fruit aside and first took out the Ten Thousand Beasts Celestial Power Fruit.

Without hesitation, Qin Tian opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Ten Thousand Beasts Celestial Power Fruit in one gulp, wasting not a single drop of juice.

The moment the fruit was ingested, a mass of crimson-gold vortex exploded in his abdomen’s dantian.

Scorching energy erupted like a volcano, rampaging through his meridians. A low growl escaped his throat, and fine beads of blood seeped from his seven orifices. Under his skin, his blood vessels turned a bizarre dark purple, like countless live snakes writhing madly underneath, each pulse rustling his clothes.

Roar~

Howl~

Screech~

Phantoms of giant beasts appeared behind him, including a giant eagle, white wolf, ferocious bear, and spirit deer...

As these shadows emerged, they soon sank into Qin Tian’s body, bringing new changes: his vision became sharper like an eagle’s eyes, the strength of a ferocious bear, the endurance of a white wolf, the agility of a spirit deer...

The Ten Thousand Beasts Celestial Power Fruit, a product of the Tree God’s century-long nurturing, proved even more astonishing than Qin Tian had anticipated, rapidly enhancing his physique, with every ability soaring dramatically.

Aside from that, the talent light spheres of the [Barbaric Dominator Body] and [Night Demon King] were also deepening in color. However, this time, it was evident that the change was more pronounced in the [Barbaric Dominator Body]. Originally deep purple, the sphere was now almost black, but still one step away from transformation.

High-level bloodline evolution seemed unattainable merely through treasures or treasure materials. This was true for both the Night Demon Bloodline and the Barbaric Dominator Body; the only path for bloodline evolution was through Evolution Points.

After a long time, Qin Tian abruptly opened his eyes, and a formidable, domineering aura burst forth.

With a rip, his upper garment shredded, revealing sculpted, statue-like muscles.

Qin Tian stood, swung a punch, and the fist wind carried the roaring sound of dragons and tigers. The water of Silver Moon Lake surged backward, spiraling into a magnificent waterspout.

Exhaling

Qin Tian let out a breath, the air searing with heat, scorching the grass beneath his feet black; but soon, nourished by surrounding Spiritual Qi, the charred turf promptly regrew.

"What a powerful fruit."

Qin Tian couldn’t help but marvel; a single fruit nearly completed the final transformation of the [Barbaric Dominator Body], saving him over a million Evolution Points.

As his physique dramatically strengthened, his Spiritual Energy leaped across three stars, reaching the new height of Tier Three Seven Stars.

After a brief rest, Qin Tian took the second fruit

Purifying Spirit Tree Fruit

The moment he bit into the fruit, a thousand starlight exploded in his throat, a pale blue flood of energy surged into his sea of consciousness. His Spiritual Power, trapped by pollutant energy, suddenly unfolded like a desiccated riverbed met by raging waves, swelling dramatically.

Amidst the trembling of his soul, the long-standing black curse melted away like frost under a hot sun, dissipating into wisps of green smoke. Even the dark patterns eroding his soul began to lose their luster.

Yet, the Curse of the Evil God wasn’t so easily expelled.

When the Purifying Power reached the curse’s core, the sea of consciousness plummeted into a pitch-black abyss, where the polluted energy roiled like boiling tar, forming a sky-covering vortex; countless barbed chains concentrated and tightly clung around Qin Tian’s soul body, like a provoked giant beast, launching a ferocious counterattack.

Compared to the Power of the Evil God’s bloodline, the mental pollution surrounding his soul was evidently harder to resolve.

Fortunately, Qin Tian had never expected the Purifying Spirit Tree Fruit to solve the soul issue; he focused on absorbing the pure mental energy from the fruit, merging it with his soul.

His Spiritual Power rose rapidly, with [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] enhancing the effect of spiritual treasures by 100%. Gradually, Qin Tian felt his soul become heftier and more expansive.

His Spiritual Power spread outward, like a vast net covering the sky, extending continuously, encompassing Silver Moon Lake, Spirit Trees, ancient trees, flowers, and plants...

The breathtaking and majestic natural scenes unfolded in his mind, prompting him to marvel at the Creator’s wonders.

When all the energy from the Purifying Spirit Tree Fruit was absorbed, Qin Tian opened his eyes, a glint of deep light flashed across his pupils.

One fruit nearly tripled his Spiritual Power, a remarkable degree of enhancement, and also notably deepened the color of the [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] sphere.

The two fruits substantially bolstered his strength once again.

"Everything is ready."

Qin Tian gazed at the serene, dreamlike Silver Moon Lake before leaping in.
