I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Eye of Fear (Violet)

Plunge

Jumping into Silver Moon Lake, the pure water surrounded Qin Tian.

In an instant, he felt the Power of Curse within him stir.

The demon pattern on his chest began to twist, as if facing a great threat, and the mental pollution within his soul churned, causing great waves in the Sea of Souls.

The pain in his body and soul eroded Qin Tian’s nerves like a tide, but fortunately, Qin Tian had long honed a steel will and didn’t even furrow his brow.

The lake water contained an exceedingly pure Power of Life, which seeped into his body through his pores, fiercely clashing with the Power of Curse.

At this moment, Qin Tian’s flesh and soul transformed into a battlefield, where the Power of Curse and the Power of Life fought intensely.

Meridians ruptured, bones fractured, skin burst apart...

Blood flowed outwards with the tumultuous lake water.

From the perspective of status, the Power of Curse, imbued with the Evil God’s Will, was superior to the Power of Life. However, the entire Silver Moon Lake was Qin Tian’s reinforcement, gradually wearing down the curse with the endless lake water.

Qin Tian’s body was destroyed, repaired, destroyed again, repaired again.

During these cycles, strands of black mist emanated from his body, which, upon entering Silver Moon Lake, were swiftly purified by the water—a sign of the Power of Curse being gradually expelled from his body.

The demon pattern on Qin Tian’s chest grew fainter, and the mental pollution diminished.

Vast Blood Qi began to boil, like a long-suppressed volcano about to erupt, while Spiritual Power extended outward, piercing the lake water and soaring into the sky, resembling a vast net that covered the heavens.

Bubbles appeared on the lake’s surface, followed by the formation of a vortex at the lake’s center, which spun rapidly and grew larger. The high temperature emanating from the dissipating Blood Qi evaporated the lake water into mist.

Deprived of the Power of Curse’s suppression, the Night Demon King and the enhanced Barbaric Dominator Body finally began to reveal their true nature.

However, just as Qin Tian thought the Power of Curse was about to be successfully cleansed, suddenly, a powerful will of fear surged from the remnants of the mental pollution.

In an instant, Qin Tian’s consciousness seemed to plummet into an abyss, with various terrifying illusions surfacing in his mind—engulfed in flames, drowning suffocation, haunted by Evil Ghosts, mauled by beasts, families destroyed...

Evil Power was merely a part of the Evil God’s curse. The true core of the curse was a sliver of fear consciousness separated from the Fearful Demon God, and even this sliver could cause a Tier Six, or even Tier Seven, Spiritualist to be terrified to death.

At this crucial moment, an ancient Tree God suddenly cast down a beam of white light, landing precisely on Qin Tian. This beam of light was like a hand, pulling Qin Tian out of boundless fear and granting him a moment of clarity.

Buzz~

The orange Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority light sphere trembled slightly. Even in the face of the Evil God’s Will, the effect of reducing mental damage by 90% remained effective.

Qin Tian opened his eyes, gathering his vast Spiritual Power within him to battle against the will of fear.

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

The two wills clashed fiercely. Blood seeped from the corners of Qin Tian’s eyes, ears, and nose, and it felt as though a drill was spinning at high speed in his head, contorting his face with pain.

Seeing his condition, the Silver Moon Lake water transformed into pure Mental Energy to nourish his soul. Gradually, Qin Tian’s soul grew stronger, and the terrifying will of fear finally showed signs of exhaustion.

As Qin Tian prepared to seize the opportunity to completely eradicate the will of fear, suddenly, the Evil Energy within him surged. Before he could react, it rapidly fused with the will of fear.

What!!!

Qin Tian’s pupils constricted, and then, this merged energy shot upwards, entering his eyes.

In an instant, it felt as if hundreds of needles simultaneously pierced his eyes. Taken by surprise, Qin Tian couldn’t help but grunt, opening his mouth and releasing several bubbles.

He could feel this energy, merged with Evil Energy and the will of fear, slowly integrating with his eyes—a sensation both painful and bizarre, as if a new ability was forming.

After a moment, Qin Tian opened his eyes once more, with a subtle black-purple aura flickering in his clear pupils. A close look would reveal that tiny black-purple curse seals connected to form an intricate hexagram pattern.

A new purple light sphere appeared among the Talent Light Sphere Group.

[Name] Eye of Fear (Purple)

[Type] Active Talent

[Introduction] Infused with the will of the Fearful Evil God, these eyes can drag living beings into endless fear, possessing wondrous abilities portrayed as follows:

1. Demon’s Power: The eyes emit tangible dark violet ripples that sweep over enemies like a tide. The fear-induced pressure within can instantly shatter the mental defenses of low-tier beings, and even those with resilient minds will foster uncontrollable fear within their subconscious.

2. Heart Nightmare Illusion Realm: The eyes release a mysterious purple light enveloping the target, forcibly pulling their will into a bizarre realm woven by fear, filled with the target’s deepest nightmares. Each cycle of death deepens the mental scars until they ultimately collapse and dissolve in endless despair and fear.

Can it really be like this?

Qin Tian was somewhat dazed. This was the first time he had obtained a new talent without killing or touching a corpse, and it indeed overturned his understanding.

But when thinking carefully, the conditions to achieve this were too harsh.

First, one must survive the Evil God’s curse and also, not being a believer, master the Evil Energy, and finally suppress the Evil God’s will, allowing it to merge with Evil Energy.

Missing a single step would not suffice.

However, it must be said that the Eye of Fear was like timely rain, finally giving his Spiritual Power a battlefield.

After acquiring the Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority, his Spiritual Power had soared, having consumed various Spirit Fruits, including the recent Purifying Spirit Tree Fruit. Now, his Spiritual Power greatly surpassed that of same-tier Spirit Mages.

However, at the moment, he only mastered one Spiritual Ability Magic, Shadow Touch.

Such vast Spiritual Power had no outlet for execution, which was truly a pity.

Now, with the awakening of the Eye of Fear, it was like having bullets paired with a machine gun, finally allowing function in battles.

And compared to elemental Spiritual Ability Magic, Spirit Magic was much more indefensible.

Demon’s Power could clear out minions and small fry.

Heart Nightmare Illusion Realm could be used against Spirit Martial Artists with weaker Spiritual Power.

Originally, group attacks were his weakness. Super Energy Flame Burst needed pre-planted bombs, and the Poison Gas Domain was easy to avoid, but with Demon’s Power, he only needed a glare to massacre a crowd—both stylish and effortless.

Qin Tian swam to the surface, turned his head, and saw the dazzling glow descending from the Tree God.

"What’s happening?"

Qin Tian was puzzled and just then received a message from Feng Mochuan.

"Ritual, finishing blow."

Qin Tian’s gaze turned cold. Although he didn’t understand what the ritual was, since the Huoshan Mercenary Corps intended to plot against the Elf Race, there was nothing more to say.

"Take them out."

Qin Tian instructed, believing that with Li Qi and Feng Mochuan’s capabilities, even if they couldn’t annihilate the entire Huoshan Mercenary Corps, they could at least take down a large portion.

To add a layer of insurance, and to prevent the Elf Race’s ritual from being affected, Qin Tian spread his Spiritual Power, soon finding the target of the Spiritual Link.
