I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 846: Chapter 576: New Holy Blood Talent—Divine Venerable (Gold) (2)

Qin Tian nodded heavily, his eyes calm, carrying a reassuring force: “Commander Luo, and everyone, rest assured, Qin Tian will certainly not fail the mission.”

In the next moment, his figure slightly moved, a faint space fluctuation spread around him, and Adif immediately followed, the two figures tearing through space like phantoms and disappearing.

Looking at the empty position in front, all the generals stood simultaneously, saluting with a standard and solemn military gesture, silently wishing in their hearts.

“General Qin, wish you triumphant return!”

…

Swish——

Space ripples slightly vibrated, and two figures suddenly appeared at the mountain’s peak.

Qin Tian stood at the edge of the peak, gazing into the distance, a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

He never thought of recklessly barging into the Insect Race’s lair.

Although his trump cards were all ready, a mere insect nest could certainly not trap him, but his purpose this time went far beyond “investigating the situation”.

“I’ve accumulated so many Evolution Points, it’s time to put them to use.”

The system interface quietly appeared before his eyes, and his gaze swept over the astonishing numbers on the panel.

Since the journey to the Ice God’s relics, apart from strengthening [Super Energy Flame Burst] into the Orange Talent [Star Core Ember Burst], he hadn’t used any Evolution Points.

The spoils from several Snow Beast city attacks and the numerous Evil God Followers slain during the evil god disturbances, plus the hundreds of thousands of Blood Gu Beasts killed in just the previous battle, made his Evolution Points soar to new heights—

Five hundred thirty-two million and eight thousand.

Such a massive reserve of Evolution Points was enough for him to reinforce several Holy Blood Level talents easily, but he didn’t plan to do so.

For one with dozens of talents like him now, higher-grade talents focused more on “quality” than “quantity”. Rather than blindly accumulating numbers, it was better to deepen existing talents, maximizing their power.

Counting up his current Holy Blood Level talents,

Physical defense has [Immortal Sacred Body], Unrivaled Dominating Body, and self-perpetuating.

Stealth, speed, and perception have [Night Emperor], invisibility, and insight across a thousand miles.

Ultra mobility has [Void God Master], tearing through space, coming and going freely.

Unmatched attack has [Thunder Ancestor], triggering heavenly thunder, destroying heaven and earth.

And there’s a super auxiliary talent [Soldier Immortal], nurturing equipment, and replenishing the team.

These talents complement each other, covering almost all aspects of combat, stealth, auxiliary support, and defense, forming a complete combat system.

In such a case, instead of spending a large number of Evolution Points to reinforce unrelated Holy Blood talents, it’s better to continue honing existing talents, strengthening them to a higher level, or even someday transcending the shackles of Holy Blood and reaching an unprecedented realm.

By then, he could truly dominate the Star Sea, unstoppable.

However, among all his Holy Blood Level talents, one that directly relates to the soul was still missing.

Defense and control on the soul level are relatively weak within his current combat system.

Among his many talents, the one most beneficial for the soul, both in direct benefit and potential, is undoubtedly his first awakened Orange Talent—[Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority].

This talent, born from the interstellar Brain Worm essence, is inherently proficient in mental manipulation and soul suppression. If it can be elevated to the Holy Blood Level, not only will it greatly enhance his soul potential, but it will also raise his control level over the Insect Race to new heights.

Given the current situation, Qin Tian made an immediate decision that before venturing into the Insect Race’s lair, he must first elevate [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] to the Holy Blood Level.

By then, relying on Holy Blood Level soul control, facing an unknown number of Blood Gu Beasts in the lair, and possibly high-tier Insect Race members, he might effortlessly manage the situation and resolve this hidden threat.

With this thought, Qin Tian said:

“Adif, protect me.”

Having said that, he then sat cross-legged, opened the system interface, and based on previous experience, directly invested 60 million Evolution Points, pouring them into [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority].

In the talent group, the Orange Light Sphere of [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] violently oscillated, its color quickly deepening from light orange to deep amber-like dark orange, then suddenly, a particularly fine golden light speck quietly emerged from the core of the light sphere, sparkling brightly despite its weakness, like a star in the night.

This hint of golden light spread rapidly, engulfing the entire talent light sphere like a tide; the original deep orange glow was continuously absorbed and covered by the golden hue, and in just an instant, the whole Orange Light Sphere completely transformed into a pure golden color, shining brilliantly and majestically.

At the instant the light sphere completely turned golden, Qin Tian felt a tremendous bang in his head, as if a thousand bolts of lightning simultaneously exploded, making his whole body tremble violently

In the depths of the Sea of Souls, suddenly there was a raging tsunami, the frenzied Soul Power roaring and crashing within like a rampaging Giant Beast, a force seemingly poised to breach the soul’s confines.

The originally clear boundary of the Sea of Souls began to visibly expand under the assault of this fierce power, stretching and enlarging towards the surrounding mists inexorably.

The borders widened, deepening and broadening the Sea of Souls constantly.

Around Qin Tian, the mental storm grew even fiercer; rocks and weeds atop the mountain were swept up entirely, crazily dancing amidst the tempest, even dispersing the clouds overhead.

The area of several hundreds of feet around was left only with a strong, raging soul pressure.

Beside him, protecting the law, Adif retreated continuously, while the minor Lor in his mind whimpered under unbearable strain, as if his soul bore a burden of a thousand pounds, nearly suffocating him.

His eyes flashed with deep astonishment.

Merely the remnants of soul pressure made him, a strong Anlon-tier warrior, unable to withstand; if the master fully unleashed his power, what a terrifying scene would it be?

With one move, the entire Moluo Race would have their spirits obliterated.

His soul perception continued to expand outward.

Qin Tian indulged in the ultimate sensation of soul evolution, the golden glow and Soul Power intertwining around him, with his entire presence becoming even more calm and commanding as if seated atop the soul’s peak as a monarch, effortlessly controlling all living souls with every gesture.

Unaware of how long had passed, Qin Tian slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the world appeared even clearer to him; unlike the sensations brought by [Immortal Sacred Body] or [Night Emperor], soul perception was more fundamental, harder to conceal.

A person’s aura, energy fluctuations, or magnetic field might change under certain means of masking, but the soul is the origin, the core, something unalterable forever.

Qin Tian opened the system interface, with a brand new golden talent displayed before his eyes.

[Name] Divine Venerable (Gold)

[Type] Composite Talent

[Introduction] You have ascended the demigod realm of the soul domain, with your soul potential approaching completeness; no need for deliberate refinement, as soul strength will automatically increase over time. If supplemented with Soul-type Treasures, the enhancement effect directly rises by 300%; the Soul Barrier solidifies like divine crystal, reducing the effect of any soul control or damage type skills against you by 99%; against the Insect Race, you possess supreme control authority, crushing the insect will and achieving absolute control, augmenting the insect forces by 50% when commanding them in unison, and unlocking hidden potential, enhancing their talents and combat power.

Additionally, you possess the following skills:

1. Soul Seal: Can plant a Soul Seal within the target’s soul, undetectably hidden within the soul core, impossible to remove, achieving permanent absolute control. Even if the target’s soul is severely damaged, nearing collapse, the Soul Seal remains effective, allowing you to directly retrieve target memory, share senses, or annihilate the target soul instantly through the Soul Seal.

2. Soul Devourer: Can extract Soul Power from one or multiple targets in a vast area, filtering soul essence during extraction, excluding impurities, strengthening the soul; capable of fully extracting all memories from the target soul (including hidden and sealed memories) without worrying about memory disarray, with the ability to convert surplus Soul Power extracted into temporary self-power augmentation.

3. Spiritual Link: Can establish a Spiritual Link with the target, achieving real-time information sharing and command transmission; capable of synchronizing all linked targets’ actions and tactics, and increasing allies’ soul defense strength and resilience through the Spiritual Link. When facing a Soul Shock, all linked targets collectively bear the impact.

4. Divine Thought Descent: Can remotely descend your own soul onto any Insect Race member or a target with planted Soul Seal; post-descent, fully controlling the target’s body, merging soul power and target combat prowess, amplifying target’s combat capability while releasing some of your talents and skills.

5. Divine Thought Punishment: Gather soul power, release a tangible Divine Thought shockwave, inflicting permanent and difficult to recover Soul Damage on the target.
