I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 706 - 512: Heart Demon Tribulation, Awakening_3

His pupils suddenly contracted, and the mist in his heart instantly dissipated—this isn’t reality; this is his Heart Demon Tribulation!

It’s a false illusion formed by the intertwining of his deep-seated fear of identity exposure and obsession with emotional ties!

Crack!

A massive crack abruptly appeared in the giant hand above him, and following that, the entire world seemed like shattered glass, covered in dense cracks.

Opposite him, Marshal Lin’s calm face suddenly curled into a faint smile as he slowly said, "Not bad at all..."

Boom!

Before the words fell, the entire illusion realm shattered! Qin Tian only felt his soul suddenly lighten, as if breaking free from the deep sea, and the suffocating oppression instantly vanished.

Immediately, he sharply opened his eyes.

......

"Damn it, how did these monsters find their way here?"

On the ice platform, Zhuge Yu, Taishi Feng, and Huo Yuansheng stood in a triangular formation, a light blue Spiritual Energy barrier like an overturned glass bowl firmly protecting the three and the meditating Qin Tian.

Outside the ice platform, four Tier Seven fierce monsters revealed their savage faces, their bristling manes like steel needles, their bodies wrapped in thick black aura, their ferocious faces covered in blood patterns, fists and claws infused with Demonic Qi striking the barrier, each hit echoing with a deafening boom, causing intense ripples on the barrier’s surface, and cracks spreading like a spider web.

Pugh—

Zhuge Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the front of his clothes red.

He is the core of the array, bearing most of the impact from the four monsters alone, with Spiritual Energy surging backward in his meridians, his complexion turning pale as paper.

Even though Taishi Feng and Huo Yuansheng had just broken through to Tier Seven, their combined efforts were still stretched thin—the four monsters’ savage intensity far exceeded their expectations.

If it had been before the breakthrough, one face-off would have torn them to shreds.

"A Yu, can you still hold on?" Taishi Feng continuously infused his Spiritual Energy into the array patterns below, the Heaven-piercing Halberd pointed diagonally at the ground, veins bulging on his forehead. He looked at Zhuge Yu’s increasingly weakened state, eyes full of worry.

Zhuge Yu swallowed the metallic taste in his throat with difficulty, glancing at Qin Tian who still had his eyes closed, his tone resolute, "I’ll hold on as best as I can. With the Ice Heart Lotus Seed assisting him, Qin Tian will surely overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation; it’s just a matter of time!"

Before his words fell, the monsters outside the ice platform suddenly raised their heads, issuing a deafening roar.

Roar——!!!

The sound waves shook loose ice chips, with black aura surging around the four monsters, intertwining and merging like a tide.

In an instant, the black aura condensed into a giant monster over ten meters tall, its muscles twisted like the gnarled roots of old trees, its skin a dark purple color, covered in festering wounds, exuding an oppressive aura that made breathing difficult, each step on the ice causing the entire ice platform to tremble violently, with cracks rapidly expanding.

"Not good!!" Zhuge Yu and the others’ faces changed drastically, a sense of despair rising in their hearts.

The giant monster lowered its head, staring at the few on the ice platform, issuing a deep roar, its giant hand like a fan, carrying a world-destroying momentum, hammering down on the Spiritual Energy barrier!

Crack—Boom!

The cracked Spiritual Energy barrier instantly shattered, its fragments scattering like glass shards. Zhuge Yu was struck hard, coughing up another mouthful of blood, his body swayed weakly, his aura at its lowest, with even the operation of Spiritual Energy becoming sluggish; Taishi Feng and Huo Yuansheng were swept away by the shock wave, colliding heavily with the ice wall, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, their faces alternating between blue and white, their newly broken-through realm somewhat unstable.

Roar!

The giant monster’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, reaching out with a barb-covered giant hand, fiercely grabbing towards the weakest Zhuge Yu.

Zhuge Yu instinctively wanted to mobilize residual Spiritual Energy to resist, but a terrifying Demonic Qi instantly locked onto him, like invisible chains tying his limbs, leaving him unable to move.

He watched helplessly as the giant hair-covered hand drew closer, the barbs on its fingertips shining with cold light, the shadow of death instantly engulfing him.

"A Yu!"

Taishi Feng and Huo Yuansheng struggled to get up for rescue, only to see the giant monster open its mouth, spraying out a mass of dense black aura. The black aura formed into two chains, instantly entwining their ankles, dragging them savagely toward the distance, slamming them into ice columns, leaving them immobilized.

In despair, a hint of unwillingness surged in Zhuge Yu’s heart—were they really going to die here today?

Just at this critical moment

Buzz——

A sudden space fluctuation sounded, a figure appeared like a ghost in front of Zhuge Yu, the tip of the blade accurately pointing at the center of the giant hand’s Demon Core, amidst sparks flying, the giant hand’s onslaught was forcibly halted.

"Leave the rest to me."

A calm voice carrying infinite power resonated.

Looking at that familiar, upright silhouette, Zhuge Yu’s tensed nerves relaxed suddenly, a smile of surviving a disaster appearing on his face. He had finally awakened.
