I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 847: Chapter 577: Insect Race Sovereign, Broodmother Bowing Low

“Divine Venerable.”

Qin Tian softly murmured this name.

Compared to the previous [Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority], the Holy Blood level [Divine Venerable] is not merely a simple numerical increase but a comprehensive, transformative evolution.

In terms of numerical values, the enhancement effects of soul-type treasures and skills have skyrocketed from 100% to 300%, and the reduction effects of soul control and soul damage skills have increased from 90% to 99%, reaching a nearly immune state against soul attacks.

Beyond the numbers, the transformation also stirred his emotions.

First is the evolution of the soul talent itself.

[Divine Venerable] is a pure Holy Blood level soul-type talent, unparalleled throughout the Empire.

From the moment this talent upgraded, he has become the strongest in soul talent within the Empire.

Even without intentionally tempering his soul, his soul power will steadily improve over time; if he invests effort and soul-type resources into focused cultivation, his soul strength will exponentially increase at an unimaginable rate for ordinary people.

Even the Leng Family, renowned for their extreme cold path and firmly holding the top position in soul domains within the Empire, could not compare with him in terms of soul talent.

Second, is the absolute control over the Insect Race, which is one of the core goals of his talent upgrade this time.

[Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority] originates from the Interstellar Brain Worm

The Brain Worm, as the commander of the Interstellar Insect Race, serves as the core brain of the insect army, capable of easily crushing the will of same-tier and lower-tier insect races, commanding them to obey and act as ordered, except for the Insect Race Empress.

Upon evolving to [Divine Venerable], his suppression and control over the Insect Race have reached a completely new level

In the entire Interstellar Insect Race, only the legendary Insect Race Empress could rival him.

Even an Insect Race warrior stronger by one tier, would have to bow their head obediently under the pressure of his [Divine Venerable] talent, without a thought of rebellion.

Moreover, when commanding the Insect Race in battle, he can amplify their overall combat power by 50%, and simultaneously unlock the hidden potential within the Insect Race, further enhancing their talents and combat prowess.

This means he is not just the commander of the Insect Race, but also their nurturer, capable of fully developing their talents and potential.

Aside from these, several enhanced new skills also brought him pleasant surprises.

The first skill, Soul Seal.

The enhanced Soul Seal becomes increasingly covert, with the crucial feature of being irremovable.

Once he implants a Soul Seal, unless the target perishes, even a Tier Nine demigod power cannot erase the Soul Seal he planted.

This absolute control completely eradicates any possibility of rebellion from those being controlled.

The second ability, Soul Devourer.

In the past, he seldom used this talent, not because it wasn’t powerful enough, but due to its numerous drawbacks.

The former Soul Devourer could absorb a single target’s soul, acquiring their memory, or absorb soul fragments drifting from a certain area to strengthen his soul, but the entire process bore certain risks

Firstly, everyone’s memories are vast and fragmented, and absorbing a large amount of memory at once can easily overwhelm his brain, causing memory disarray; absorbing large-scale soul fragments can exacerbate this disorder, potentially even harming his soul.

Secondly, the forms of souls from different races and individuals are completely different, and the absorbed soul power often carries many impurities, mismatching his soul power, potentially causing conflicts. Instead of nourishing the soul, it adds burdens and stress to the soul.

But after the upgrade, these drawbacks are completely resolved.

The enhanced Soul Devourer can precisely filter soul essences, removing all impurities, while completely extracting the target’s soul memory—hidden secrets or sealed pasts can be viewed in their entirety, without any worry of memory disarray.

In addition, it can use the temporarily undigested soul power to temporarily boost his own combat power, playing a crucial role in reversing the situation during critical moments.

The third ability, Spiritual Link.

Besides being able to establish a spiritual link with one or multiple targets, easily breaking through language barriers and significantly enhancing team cooperation efficiency, the newly added effects are also highly practical

It increases the soul strength and resilience of all linked targets, effectively applying a permanent soul-type buff to allied targets

More importantly, when facing external soul shocks, all linked targets will automatically share the shock pressure, greatly protecting the soul safety of allied targets, significantly enhancing the team’s survivability.

The fourth skill, Divine Thought Descent.

In the past, this skill could only achieve remote descent, gaining control over a target’s body and vision, but after upgrading, its effect is entirely different—he can perfectly fuse his soul power with the descended vessel, not only significantly enhancing the vessel’s overall capability but also allowing him to exhibit some of his own talent abilities through the vessel.

This aspect is quite astonishing.

Imagine in the future, if his subordinates encounter a crisis and send him a distress signal, he can utilize the previously implanted Soul Seal to achieve Divine Thought Descent, using a subordinate’s body to employ his talent and help the subordinate out of trouble.

From another perspective, it’s equivalent to having unlimited clones

In the future, wherever a subordinate with his implanted Soul Seal goes, his “eyes” will be there.

Finally, the newly added attack ability of the [Divine Venerable] talent—Divine Thought Heavenly Punishment.
