I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 841: Chapter 574: Interstellar Insect Race, Ring of Death

High above, two black and red figures streaked past like meteors, followed by countless Moluo Warriors, as if drawn by an invisible chain, trailing behind them.

Suddenly, the two figures halted abruptly, their antennae on top of their heads glowing a blinding scarlet, warily sensing the abrupt aura ahead.

The newcomer had black hair and black eyes, dressed in black, with a Battle Sword slung diagonally at the waist, looking at them calmly.

The two Insect Race guards instantly tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

From this figure, they sensed an almost suffocating death crisis, as if facing not a person, but death itself.

Qin Tian looked at the two upright Blood Gu Beast evolutionary forms opposite him, his brow slightly furrowed.

Mere evolution in form was not particularly noteworthy.

But these two monsters had awakened the ability to control space—a clear indication that they must have absorbed Moluo Race genes to obtain such a Talent.

This meant that this race had a terrifying trait of absorbing the genes of other beings to awaken corresponding talents.

And in the Cosmos, there was one race synonymous with this ability—

Interstellar Insect Race

“Could it be them?”

Qin Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Insect Race was just a general term.

There were numerous races with Insect Race bloodlines throughout the Cosmos, and many insects born in places rich in Spiritual Qi could awaken special abilities, even being tamed by Beastmasters as Tamed Beasts.

However, the Interstellar Insect Race was the most savage, horrific, and destructive among all Insect Races.

They revered the Insect Queen as their supreme leader, with devouring all things as their ultimate goal. In the endless devouring, they constantly evolved themselves and reproduced their species.

They had diverse types: Brain Worms that controlled the group consciousness and excelled in mental control, Brood Mothers that crazily spawned soldiers to support the expansion of the race, Blade Insect Race that were unmatched in combat and invincible in close quarters, Plasmatic Insects releasing destructive energy, and Corrosive Insects spitting corrosive venom…

These were merely their conventional troops.

What was more terrifying was that the Interstellar Insect Race could achieve targeted evolution by absorbing the genes of different species, thereby creating an array of strange and unpredictable special insect types.

When the Interstellar Insect Race was weak, they fed on their surroundings; but once they evolved to a certain extent, they could cross the Star Sea and invade and devour an entire Star Realm.

This was what made the Interstellar Insect Race most despairing.

In the history of the Empire, a brutal Insect Race uprising had erupted once.

Fortunately, the Empire discovered it in time, forcibly strangling it in its cradle, preventing the swarm from fully breaking out.

Yet even so, the Empire still paid a painful price in that battle—

Ten large fleets were completely destroyed, two Tier Nine demigods fell, dozens of Tier Eight Spiritualists died in battle, and the sacrifices of lower-level Spiritualists were countless.

According to the Intelligence from the Celestial Fleet, the appearance of the Blood Gu Beast only spanned a few short years.

In just a few short years, the Blood Gu Beast not only birthed Tier Seven Evolutionary Forms but also absorbed Moluo Race genes, forcibly evolving spatial talents.

This terrifying speed of evolution made Qin Tian have to associate them with the Interstellar Insect Race.

It must be known that his first Orange Talent, [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority], originally came from the Brain Worm of the Interstellar Insect Race.

He knew better than anyone just how terrifying the Interstellar Insect Race truly was.

If Montell Star only had these enforcer-type low-level Insect Races like the Blood Gu Beast, that would still be manageable.

But once core high-ranking Insect Races like the Brain Worm and Brood Mother appeared…

Then things could get truly serious.

Chirp—!!

Seeing Qin Tian remain motionless, the two Insect Race guards finally couldn’t hold back.

They suddenly opened their mandibles, unleashing a shrill, ear-piercing soul scream.

The scream, accompanied by a violent psychic storm, roared down, yet Qin Tian remained standing, unmoved.

Xiaobai had long erected an indestructible barrier around his soul.

Without even needing to use Devouring Soul Flame and Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority, the soul scream of the two Insect Races was effortlessly blocked.

Shua—

Black Frost unsheathed.

In the next instant, the bodies of the two Insect Race guards were cleaved into two, fetid, viscous body fluids pouring down, accompanied by two bone-chilling screams.

Rumble—!!

Two purple Heavenly Thunders descended from the sky, striking precisely on their heads.

The insect bodies trembled violently, cracks appearing on their shells, tendrils of black smoke emanating with a scorched smell.

Qin Tian watched the scene before him indifferently.

Don’t be fooled by these two Blood Gu Insect Races easily crushing Adif and a large number of Moluo Warriors; that was purely due to the innate soul weakness of the Moluo Race, resulting in a restraining relationship.

In terms of actual combat strength, these two recently evolved Tier Seven Insect Races were at most equivalent to Spiritualists with a silver bloodline of the same Tier, akin to ants before him.

Seeing the Insect Race completely losing the ability to resist, Qin Tian walked forward slowly.

The Power of Space instantly immobilized the two insect bodies. With a swift move, he pressed his hand on their heads.

Soul Seal!

A surging force of the soul invaded fiercely. Originating from the [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority], the Soul Seal, a Talent born from the Brain Worm, inherently possessed a terrifying characteristic—through Mental Power, it could exert absolute control over low-level Insect Races, commanding them to execute any directive.

Except for a few high-ranking Insect Races, ordinary Insect Races could only submit to being enslaved in the face of this Talent.

The higher the grade of the insect entity, the stronger the resistance.

This was also why he did not immediately attempt to force control.

But now, with the two Insect Races severely injured and unable to resist, controlling them was supposed to be all too easy.
