I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 856: Chapter 580: Forbidden Guard Army, Wheelchair Youth Tang Nian (2)

Ling Yu did not disappoint, smoothly advancing to Tier Eight Spiritualist, and eventually became the right-hand man of the chief commander, serving as deputy commander.

Judging by these experiences alone, Ling Yu was just like the protagonist in a novel, facing adversity in his youth, with parents sacrificed to the heavens, bloodline awakening, outstanding talent, later recognized and promoted by a benefactor, eventually in high position.

However, what truly caught Qin Tian’s attention was that among the Forbidden Guard Army, there were several members with similar experiences like Ling Yu.

The same pure background, sudden awakening of bloodline, their talent not inferior to silver, even Golden Bloodline Spiritualists.

This situation being so prevalent inevitably made one think deeply.

However, the depths of the Forbidden Guard Army were extremely profound, and even with Robert’s information gathering capability, it took considerable effort to obtain the confidential data on these guards.

Qin Tian did not want to invite trouble, yet this matter planted a seed in his mind.

Next, the Deep Blue Fleet and Tianwei Fleet completed their handover, and then Elder Yun and Qin Tian, along with others, boarded the command ship of the Deep Blue Fleet, embarking on the journey back to the Royal Star.

……

On the edge of the Central Star Realm, there exists an unknown planet not marked on the Royal Star Map.

In the western continent, there’s a lifeless desolate land; looking around, the ground is full of cracked black-brown rocky soils, the earth covered in sinister ravines, as if gnawed by a giant beast, no trace of green in sight, no sound to be heard.

Strong winds swept tiny sands across the land, whistling past, raising dust clouds that blot out the sky, making this already dim world even more desolate and bleak.

And right in the center of this barren land, there floated a giant blood-red sphere, suspended a few meters above the ground, its massive size suffocating, with a diameter of hundreds of meters, from afar it resembled a giant heart magnified countless times.

Its surface was covered with dark purple blood vessels as thick as barrels, intertwining and wrapping around each other like a spider web spread across it; every vessel slightly pulsating, with thick dark red fluid flowing inside like paste, slowly surging with the pulse of the sphere, emanating a nauseating bloody scent.

At the center of the blood sphere, within a few hundred kilometers range, it had become truly barren, more desolate than other regions on the planet. There was no sign of human activity, not even an ant could survive.

And just over ten kilometers away from this eerie blood sphere, shadows of people floated steadily in the air, each enveloped in energy barriers, isolating the blood and eerie aura below, gravely gazing at the blood sphere.

“Tang Nian, without you, we truly wouldn’t have discovered this terrifying entity.”

Among them, a middle-aged man in blue attire slowly withdrew his gaze, turning to the forefront of the group, his tone filled with unmistakable fear and relief.

As his words fell, a dozen eyes shifted simultaneously to focus on the forefront figure.

A young man sat in a levitating wheelchair, so fragile that it seemed a gust of wind could topple him, standing out among the sharp-spirited crowd, yet occupying the most conspicuous position.

He was emaciated, almost skin and bones, his loose black robe clinging to his body, accentuating jagged shoulders and protruding spine, as if devoid of any excess flesh.

Messy black hair, dry and yellowish, hung down, covering most of his face, leaving only one solitary eye exposed in his sunken eye socket, unsettlingly eerie.

The exposed eye lacked any white, the entire pupil a pure black, akin to a deep abyss, radiating an engulfing attraction, as if merely a glance could forcibly drag one’s soul into eternal abyss.

No intense energy waves emanated from him, yet instinctively others kept their distance.

The young man’s left hand rested on his knee, palm supporting an ancient stone, with his right hand gently gripping two semi-transparent jade tablets.

Additionally, a thin black line dangled from his collar, threaded with an ancient silver ring.

Due to the large ring size, it couldn’t be worn as a ring, so it’s strung as a necklace worn around the neck.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Tang Nian gave no response, his expression cold, as if the surrounding events had nothing to do with him.

However, the middle-aged man seemed accustomed to Tang Nian’s aloof and reticent nature, merely shrugged helplessly, without further comment, redirecting his gaze to the eerie blood sphere, his expression turning serious once more.

After a moment, a hoarse, dry, emotionless voice suddenly appeared in everyone’s mind: “I’m about to take action.”

On hearing this, everyone’s eyes sharpened, simultaneously focusing on the two jade tablets in Tang Nian’s right hand.

During this time, despite trying various methods, they couldn’t harm the blood sphere even slightly, instead watching helplessly as it absorbed surrounding telekinesis, expanding and growing more formidable and terrifying.

In desperation, they had to rely on Tang Nian, this aloof and reticent, yet the only one able to sense the blood sphere’s abnormality.
