I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 434: Chapter 369: Dark Necromancy, Seal Failure (Part 3)

Next, a crisp shattering sound rang out, and the golden seal, formed by the power of 120 people, broke apart, turning into countless golden light points dissolving in the air.

"Pu—"

All 120 members of the sealing team simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces turning as pale as paper, while the Spiritual Energy within them dissipated like a kite with a broken string.

At this moment, everyone shuddered, and their hearts sank to the bottom.

The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished like a candle in a fierce wind, disappearing instantly without a trace.

The warriors looked at the shattered golden seal and the blood-spitting sealing team, their eyes filled with horror and despair.

Not only was the space portal not sealed, but under the influence of that terrifying aura, it became even more unstable, with the distortion around the edges far exceeding before, releasing more terrifying power.

The demons seemed to sense the sadness and despair of humans, becoming even more violent, breaking through the restraint of the Azure Wood tendrils, surging towards the vicinity of the space portal with deafening roars.

Dongfang Yu looked at the shattered golden seal, his eyes full of unwillingness. He opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

Qin Tian also furrowed his brow. The aura emanating from deep within the space portal was so abrupt, yet carried a faintly familiar force.

The battle seemed to have reached a dead end.

The demons were like hungry wolves sniffing the scent of prey on the brink of death, growing more savage and excited. They roared, stepping over their companions’ corpses, frantically assaulting the already precarious Azure Wood tendril barrier.

The originally resilient tendrils groaned under the demons’ sharp claws and impacts, with cracks spreading continuously.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound as the Azure Wood tendril barrier was finally torn open, creating a massive gap. Countless demons surged out from the gap like a breached flood, rushing towards the vicinity of the space portal.

The United Army’s morale had plummeted to the bottom the moment the golden seal shattered. The warriors looked at the continuously surging demons, their eyes full of despair.

Some warriors, the hands gripping their weapons began to tremble, while others stood dazed as if they had lost their souls.

"Kill them!" An old soldier roared, waving his Battle Sword and rushing forward, trying to stop the demons’ advance. But just a few steps out, he was pounced on and knocked to the ground by several ghouls, his screams instantly drowned out by the demons’ roars.

The tide of battle was gradually turning in favor of the demons.

The demons wantonly reaped human lives. Wherever the bone dragon’s breath passed, swaths of warriors turned to ash; the lich mage’s curses landed on the warriors, their bodies rapidly rotting as they fell to the ground, wailing in pain; the undead knight’s war spear swung, taking multiple lives with every drop.

Every moment, warriors were falling, their corpses piling up like mountains. Some warriors had their chests torn open by demon claws, staining the ground with blood; some had their blood drained by night demons, leaving shriveled corpses; some warriors, to cover their teammates’ retreat, detonated the Spiritual Energy Bombs on their bodies, perishing with a group of demons, leaving behind only a blood-smeared ruin.

"Young Master Yu, retreat!"

Lan Qiancheng staggered over to Dongfang Yu’s side, the bloodstains on his face mixing with sweat as it trickled down, his voice low as if squeezed from his throat. A deep wound split the battle armor on his chest, exposing bone, with the glow of his Golden Bloodline dimming noticeably.

Dongfang Yu took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently. He looked at the warriors continuously falling near the space portal, his eyes filled with intense unwillingness.

If they retreated now, it would mean handing this portal over to the demons—what terrifying calamity would the Azure Wood Star Realm face by then?

Could the outer fleet of the Demon Suppression Abyss hold on? How many more warriors would fall under the demons’ claws?

"Young Master Yu, retreat!" Lan Qiancheng grabbed his arm fiercely, his knuckles turning white from the force, "The sealing team is critically injured, staying here is just a pointless death! I believe forces from the other war zones are coming, and once they gather the strength of the ten war zones, they will surely seal this place!"

Dongfang Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the struggle was replaced by resoluteness. He knew Lan Qiancheng was right, regardless of the unwillingness, this battle had already lost its chance of victory.

"Retreat—"

This word was almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.

However, before the order to retreat could spread throughout the army, an even more terrifying force erupted from the space portal. That force was like an awakening ancient giant beast, instantly tearing the already irregular rift wider, with the chaotic spatial currents at the edges raging like a tsunami, shredding even the air into pieces.

The demons, seeing this, became even more frenzied, seemingly drawn by an invisible force, surging headlong towards the portal, the sharp sound of claws and bone wings clashing, and the dull smashing sounds of low-level demons being crushed filled the air.

Dongfang Yu’s face turned pale as paper in an instant. Such a gigantic space portal, with tens of thousands of demons pouring in every second, by the time reinforcements from other war zones arrived, the entire Dark Demon Realm’s forces could flood through the portal into the Azure Wood Star Realm!

"This power..." Qin Tian looked up towards the depths of the portal, his brows furrowed tightly.

That power was so abruptly eerie, yet carried a hint of unnerving familiarity.

At this moment, the unistone necklace on his chest suddenly emitted a gentle white light, followed by an angry and low voice booming directly in his mind:

"Void... enemy!"
