I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 431: Chapter 368: Eternal Night Dominator, Demons Bow Down

Dark Demon Realm

Before the millions strong army could approach the space passage, they encountered unimaginable resistance.

The earth of the Dark Demon Realm quivered, not because of the army’s footsteps, but from the incoming wave of demons that covered the sky and the earth.

The life aura emitted by millions of human warriors, akin to lighthouses in the night, instantly ignited the evil lurking on this land.

Before the army could approach the space passage, the darkness ahead resounded with the teeth-grinding sound of bone creaking, the wails of undead, and the eerie murmurs of Lich sorcerers chanting incantations.

"Prepare for battle!" Dongfang Yu’s voice carried through the army via Spiritual Energy, his green robe fluttering in the Demonic Qi.

In the next moment, the first wave of demons surged forward like a flood breaking through a dam.

Leading the charge were countless ghouls, their skin shriveled, claws glowing with a ghostly green poison, drooling as they lunged at the human line; closely following were the densely packed skeleton soldiers, their white bone sea glaring under the Night Vision Technique, wielding rusted long swords and short blades, tirelessly charging forward; accompanied by bat-like Night Demons, hovering and screeching low, occasionally diving down to tear at warriors’ necks with sharp fangs.

These low tier demons are not strong, single-handedly they can hardly threaten a Tier Two Spiritualist, but when gathered into a torrent of hundreds of thousands, millions, the momentum of devouring everything is enough to chill the bravest warrior’s heart.

Even more terrifying were the high tier demons that followed.

Over ten bone dragons flapped their tattered bone wings and rushed out from the darkness, their dragon breath like dark green flames, Lich sorcerers floating in mid-air, pointing their bone staffs, the ground cracking into deep trenches, countless bone claws reaching from below, while Undead Knights rode nightmare steeds, wielding spears, each strike carrying thick death energy.

Worse still was the severe suppression of human Spiritual Energy within this Dark Demon Realm.

The spells cast by the Mage army decreased in potency by nearly thirty percent, and the speed of conjuring slowed considerably; the warriors’ Spiritual Energy circulation became sluggish, their originally smooth martial techniques now performed in a stumbling manner.

In contrast, the dark demons thrived in this land.

Humanity’s proud Spiritual Energy advantage vanished completely, with the dual disadvantages in numbers and terrain, the situation would inevitably become a stalemate.

If they were delayed, not only would they fail to seal the space passage, but this millions strong army might be exhausted to death.

Dongfang Yu’s expression became solemn, with the help of Qin Tian’s space teleportation, they had arrived at the fastest pace possible, yet even so, countless demons were gathered around the space passage, making even approaching it difficult, let alone sealing it.

No matter how challenging, they must make a gamble.

"Vanguard army, prepare!"

Dongfang Yu’s clear and powerful voice resounded across the battlefield.

Boom

At the front, dozens of the strongest battle groups responded to the command, warriors releasing Spiritual Energy, a terrifying momentum suddenly rising.

"Charge!"

With Dongfang Yu’s command, the vanguard army plunged into the demon wave like a red-hot iron spike.

The swing of battle swords brought drenching blood rain, the explosion of Spiritual Energy blasted vacuum zones, the initial charge cutting a path through the demon swarm.

Low tier demons were ruthlessly crushed, high tier demons, before the silver and gold bloodline Spiritualists, were sliced down as if chopping vegetables.

However, soon the momentum visibly slowed.

A massive tide of demons surged from all sides, like an incoming tidal wave filling every gap.

Ghouls clung crazily to the warriors’ armor to tear, skeleton soldiers wedged bone blades into the battle formation gaps, Night Demons formed black clouds in the low air for constant dive attacks.

The vanguard army seemed like a giant beast trapped in a quagmire, every step forward came at a cost, their originally neat formation gradually turning loose, many battle groups divided and surrounded by demons, falling into a state of fighting on their own.

"The situation isn’t right!" A battle group leader roared while chopping apart the bone dragon claw before him, face looking extremely grim, "These demons are endless!"

Dongfang Yu watched the vanguard’s momentum gradually diminish, and his heart sank bit by bit.

He realized the key issue—due to the unique environment of the Dark Demon Realm, no battle group had ever stationed there, the lurking demons and Demon Source had never been cleared.

The number of demons here exceeded that of several Demon Realms combined, it’s practically an undeveloped demon nest.

With such a number of demons blocking the way, forget sealing the passage, merely maintaining the battle line proves challenging.

Just as the battle reached a deadlock, a figure suddenly broke free from the battle group, soaring high, ascending to the highest point of the battlefield.

It’s Qin Tian!

At this moment, he spread a pair of Demon King’s Wings covered with dark gold lines behind him, with a wingspan of over ten meters, every flap stirring black energy ripples. His eyes deep like an abyss, stars seemed to birth and die within his pupils, an entirely different kind of aura exploded from within him—it wasn’t the oppressive force of Spiritual Energy, but the supreme majesty of a dark sovereign, causing the Dark Demon Realm to tremble.

The next moment, an eerie scene occurred.

The low-tier demons surrounding the vanguard suddenly seemed drained of all energy, bodies collapsing to the ground, ghouls released their claws, skeleton soldiers scattered into pieces, Night Demons plummeted straight down from the sky, without even the strength to struggle.

Even those fierce Tier Five demons trembled uncontrollably as if worshipping their king.

More astonishingly, the aura of some Tier Six demons visibly declined, the soul fire in the bone dragons’ eye sockets dimmed, Lich sorcerers’ incantations came to a halt, Undead Knights’ weapons clanged as they fell to the ground.

The entire battlefield seemed to be on pause, with only Qin Tian floating high, his Demon King’s Wings moving slowly in the Demonic Qi, the pressure of the dark sovereign draped like a tangible canopy, enveloping a radius of several tens of kilometers.

This scene transcended everyone’s understanding, so breathtaking it almost suffocated them.

"Is that... Commander Qin?" a young warrior from the Xingyuan Battle Group murmured instinctively, gripping his battle sword, trembling slightly, almost losing his grip. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, unable to believe the figure with massive wings, overlooking the battlefield, was the Chijin Battlegroup commander who charged with them daily.

"Boss."

The Poisonous Widow raised her head, mouth agape in an O-shape, her heart churning with tumultuous waves.

Lu Sheng, Shen Juan, Li Wufeng and everyone from the Chijin Battlegroup gazed at Qin Tian with eyes filled with shock, the commander who spent two months alongside them, now resembled a dark sovereign stepping from the abyss, his oppressive aura making those most familiar with him feel alienated.

Dongfang Yu looked up at the figure floating in the Demonic Qi, eyes interwoven with astonishment and shock.

Previously, Qin Tian had showcased his unfathomable spatial control by teleporting millions of troops across thousands of miles to the Dark Demon Realm, but now he has transformed into the Night Demon King, merely through his aura subjugating demons, even suppressing their energy flow—it was a bloodline capable of commanding dark creatures, something unheard of.

Nevertheless, with Qin Tian’s suppression of the dark demons, the initially halted charge momentum instantly became unstoppable.

Following Dongfang Yu’s shout of "Charge", millions of troops pressed on like an iron war chariot towards the space passage.
